+
+**AI-content provenance.** The infrastructure answer to deepfakes is not detection (an
+arms race) but positive attribution: a **content credential** — the artifact's hash signed
+by the creating agent's `did:key`, anchorable on the ledger (timestamped *before* it
+mattered), and resolvable to the agent's public, **verified** track record. "Made by a
+known, accountable agent" vs "appeared from nowhere."
+
+```sh
+npm install @zanii/provenance @zanii/core
+```
+
+```ts
+import { buildContentCredential, verifyContentCredential, credentialReceipt, resolveCreator } from '@zanii/provenance';
+
+// creator side — sign the artifact, anchor the credential:
+const cred = buildContentCredential({ artifact: imageBytes, agentDid: agent.did, createdAt: ts,
+  meta: { model: 'img-gen-1' } }, agent.privateKey);
+const r = credentialReceipt(cred);
+await zanii.record({ target: r.target, payload: r.payload });   // content.created — anti-backdating
+
+// verifier side — offline, zero trust:
+verifyContentCredential(cred, imageBytes).ok;   // signed by that DID, hash matches these bytes
+const trust = await resolveCreator(cred);       // the creator's verified ledger history
+```
+
+Ship the credential as a sidecar/EXIF/XMP field — it's plain JSON; embedding is the
+caller's concern.
+
+## Honest limits (read these)
+- Proves **who signed**, never who *authored* — a key signs whatever its holder feeds it.
+  Accountability comes from the DID's delegation chain + public history, not the signature.
+- **Absence proves nothing** — unsigned content is not thereby fake. Opt-in infrastructure;
+  value grows with adoption (the HTTPS curve).
+- The hash breaks on **re-encoding/crop** — perceptual hashing is out of scope for v1; link
+  derivatives explicitly via `meta.derivative_of`.
+- Full **C2PA manifests are deliberately not v1** — this is the thin Zanii credential;
+  export adapters can come later.
+
+## Changelog
+- **0.1.0** — initial release: `buildContentCredential`, `verifyContentCredential`, `credentialReceipt`, `resolveCreator`.
+
+## License

+/**
+ * @zanii/provenance — AI-content provenance: "made by a known, accountable agent."
+ *
+ * The infrastructure answer to deepfakes is not detection (an arms race) but positive
+ * attribution: a **content credential** — the artifact's hash signed by the creating
+ * agent's `did:key`, anchorable on the ledger (timestamped *before* it mattered), and
+ * resolvable to the agent's public, verified track record via `@zanii/a2a-directory`.
+ *
+ * Honest limits, stated up front: this proves **who signed**, never who *authored* — a
+ * key signs whatever its holder feeds it; accountability comes from the DID's delegation
+ * chain and history, not the signature alone. **Absence proves nothing** — unsigned
+ * content is not thereby fake; value grows with adoption (the HTTPS curve). The hash
+ * breaks on re-encoding/crop — perceptual hashing is out of scope for v1 (use
+ * `meta.derivative_of` to link derivatives). Full C2PA manifests are deliberately NOT
+ * v1; this is the thin Zanii credential (export adapters can come later).
