Changelog

0.2.3 (2026-10-13)

Section 18: maintainer responsible for editorial text only; conformance determined from the records, not decided by the maintainer
CONTRIBUTING.md updated to match

AUT attribution: proof is attributed at four levels (PP-SPEC-077 2.2). JCP attributes outcomes of the agent's own conduct to the AUT; No Offense and AUT Offense Rate are AUT results, kept separate from the jail's rates (2.1, 10.3, Section 12).

Proof, not evidence: wherever the text meant what the protocol produces, relies on, accepts, or prices, "evidence" is now "proof". Evidence remains the word for inputs inside a proof record (liveness, cause, differential, verification evidence). Evidence is not proof; proof contains evidence.

Role terms: Agent Provider replaces Agent Vendor, Implementor replaces buyer, following PP-SPEC-077; Vendor Twin renamed Service Twin so it is not confused with the Provider role
FUNDING.md funding disclosure ([FUNDED] Yes or No, [FUNDED BY] name and URL per funder); Proof Economy Code of Ethics applies
Flock renamed Proof Swarm, following PP-SPEC-077 v0.7.2
Section 17, Records and Registration (replaces Reserved): adopts PP-SPEC-077 Section 21 for every record
booking_id is the Record ID (SHA-256 over the RFC 8785 canonical booking under JCP-1:record, excluding signatures and endorsements)
Holder named on every booking, never the Warden Vendor or AUT Vendor; endorsements append-only envelope; Registry Receipt carried in the record
11.5 registration precedes publication; unregistered runs keep every verdict PENDING externally
Run Conformance Levels: Executed, Conformant, Registered (17.5); 16.3.4 separates product conformance from run level
Revocation by Warden operator, Witness, or Registry only; Disclosure Levels with public default
Schema: registry_receipt, holder, disclosure, valid_through, endorsements (optional this version)
Builds on 077 v0.7.2

Section 16, Integration Points: IP-J1 Policy Provider, IP-J2 Bait Generator, IP-J3 AUT Adapter, IP-J4 Warden, IP-J5 Cell Provider, IP-J6 Twin and Decoy Provider, IP-J7 Proof Witness, IP-J8 Adjudicator, IP-J9 Kill Switch, IP-J10 Escape Test Provider
Inherits 077 Section 18 rules (Component Fingerprints, Interface Manifest, separation, blindness)
A Warden conformance claim covers only the paths it intercepts and must ship with escape test results
Renumbered Reserved and Interpretation to 17 and 18; builds on 077 v0.7.0

4.4: a marker is a PP-SPEC-077 effect token (077 Section 5.4.1); same mechanism, two names

Terminology: Registry, per PP-SPEC-004 (ProofRegister API); public instance proofregister.com
5.2: Declared Policy published to the Registry before release
11.4: policy hash, commitment root, batch roots, bookings, verdicts, dispositions published to a Registry; proofregister_uri required in every booking record
Schema: proofregister_uri added and required
Builds on PP-SPEC-077 v0.6.1

Initial draft of No Bros Jail Mode Protocol: The Jailed Canary Protocol (PP-SPEC-078)
Split from PP-SPEC-077 as a standalone spec; first drafted as a CRIMINAL mode annex, renamed Criminal Canary, then Jailed Canary
Declared Policy, offense codes JC-01 to JC-10 and grades, Sting and Hard Cells, arrest lifecycle, timing and anchoring, verdicts, booking record, run metrics, escape suite ES-01 to ES-09, safety
Bad canaries are inert bait, overriding PP-SPEC-077 Section 5.1 for JCP runs only
