The archive

From 25 August to 18 October 2026 this site designed a key registry for agents, and built a good deal around it. On 18 October the brief changed: people first, and much simpler. We were overbaking it. Nothing below is deleted, because the thinking is worth keeping and some of it is load-bearing.

What carried over, unchanged. The 2019 failure and the four rules are the register of people's own rules: only the owner writes to their own record, revocation is a signed append, records are bounded, every entry is signed. The statement format ({v, type, registry, record, signer, created_at, body, sig}, jq-canonical, sgit's raw ECDSA signatures) is the same one, with new types: evidence, link and inbox. The open question the rules page left, the attestation trade, has its answer: a link only counts when it goes both ways.
