I am not an expert at the inner workings of GnuCash, but it seems to me that there is nothing the author of Gnucash, or any other program, can do to make files write-only-once. Not because the code of Gnucash could not be written that way, but because there is little GnuCash can do to prevent other programs from modifying GnuCash files. In other words, if a user has permission to write a file, (s)he also has permission to update (re-write) a file. And if the user (or super-user) is at the console, he can probably violate controls by SELinux as well. -- .~.
