Software configuration management method and storage device
By using task change requests as the sole entry point in software configuration management, generating immutable configuration snapshots and digitally signing them, the problem of insufficient configuration consistency and traceability in existing configuration management technologies is solved, achieving end-to-end controllability and consistency, and improving the reliability and efficiency of configuration management.

AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies in software development and configuration management are file version-centric, severing the connection between file status and task changes. This makes it difficult to ensure configuration atomicity and consistency, and fails to meet the requirements of high-reliability software configuration governance and change auditing for end-to-end traceability and configuration consistency assurance.
The system uses task change requests as the sole entry point, generates a unique task identifier, generates an immutable configuration snapshot through database transactions, and digitally signs the original manifest using a private key to generate a signature file associated with the snapshot identifier. This ensures that all configuration changes are traceable to the business motivation, and that snapshot generation either succeeds entirely or fails completely and is rolled back.
It achieves end-to-end traceability, eliminates scattered configuration changes, ensures that configuration snapshots are consistent with the same change batch, avoids the risk of functional failure caused by configuration inconsistencies, and improves the efficiency of change auditing and the controllability of configuration management.
