-Ed25519 Verification Module for GOAP Research
-
-Provides cryptographic verification capabilities for research workflows:
-- Keypair generation
-- Content signing
-- Signature verification  
-- Citation chain management
-- Trusted issuer whitelist
-- Verification ledger
-
-Requirements:
-    pip install cryptography --break-system-packages
-    # OR
-    pip install pynacl --break-system-packages
+Ed25519 provenance verifier for GOAP research.
+
+Ed25519 provides provenance and tamper-evidence under pinned trusted-issuer
+keys. It proves who signed the canonical message and that signed bytes were not
+altered. It does not prove that a claim is true.
+
+Install a backend in an isolated environment:
+    python3 -m venv .venv
+    .venv/bin/pip install cryptography
+    # or: .venv/bin/pip install pynacl
+
+Avoid mutating system Python. Use --break-system-packages only as a last-resort
+local workaround when you understand the system-integrity risk.
