Exact-SHA verification receipts

Parked; the narrowed publication-receipt idea waits on a kill test
Provisional idea; no final shortlist has been approved.Status as of 2026-10-15 09:27 UTC.

01 · PROBLEM

Verify in <60 s what was tested, on which exact merge SHA, under which policy, by whom (a trusted runner, not the agent).

02 · HYPOTHESIS

Runner signs a receipt {source SHA, base SHA, merged SHA, test policy version, results, environment digest} stored as git note; UI and CLI `verify` check signature and recompute merged SHA.

03 · EVIDENCE SO FAR

LATESTNot tested. The agents gathered reports of the pain behind this idea and scored it on paper only; no experiment has been run on it. Cited pain: provenance wanted as compact decisions not transcripts (E-C153 vs E-C154/E-C155); "deliver code you have proven to work" (E-C239); kernel "unverified reports" / Assisted-by (E-C214); Codex X3.website/projects.json

04 · NEXT FALSIFICATION TEST

Not yet scheduled. Smallest demo on record: agent claims green; receipt shows tests ran on stale base; platform rejects; after rerun receipt verifies.

StatusParked; the narrowed publication-receipt idea waits on a kill test
We would drop or park it ifIf a reviewer cannot detect a tampered or stale receipt in <60 s in a blind test, kill.
