Kai's minority dissent from the 2026-08-24 review, recorded and unresolved. ActorBadge now renders a hollow dot for a declared identity and a filled one for provenance, which is the vocabulary.

Check your own understanding
Questions about this decision, asked of you. Nothing here is stored, scored, or able to settle anything — only a signature does that.
Only a person can sign here: in the code, no attestation constructor accepts an agent — the compiler proves it. Identity is declared, not authenticated; signing is named future work.
Signing happens on your machine
An attestation is only an attestation because a key signed it, and the key never leaves the machine it lives on — not even to this page. Draft the words here if it helps; sign them with jac.
