+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and

+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of

+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+

+# kaval (Python SDK)
+
+The freshness gate for AI. Give [kaval](https://github.com/LufeMC/kaval-clients) a belief your system
+already holds — a cached fact, a CRM field, an agent memory — and it checks the live world and
+returns a typed freshness gap: `current` / `stale` / `contradicted` / `unsupported` / `conflicting`
+/ `insufficient`.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install kaval
+```
+
+## Gate a belief before you act on it
+
+```python
+from kaval import KavalClient
+
+# base_url defaults to the hosted cloud (https://api.usekaval.com).
+with KavalClient(api_key="kv_live_...") as client:
+    decision = client.verify("Acme's CEO is Jane Doe")
+    if not decision["act"]:
+        ...  # stale / contradicted — re-fetch before relying on it
+```
+
+`verify()` returns the verdict plus `act` — `True` only when the belief is `current` and confident
+(≥ 0.7 by default; override with `min_confidence`).
+
+### Pick a speed/depth tier
+
+`verify(belief, mode=...)` selects a tier (default `auto`): `instant` (cache / graph-prior only, no
+fetch or LLM), `fast` (cheap model, origin-only), `auto` (balanced), or `deep` (strongest model + a
+cited explanation). The returned dict echoes `tier`, and on the `deep` tier adds `explanation`:
+
+```python
+gap = client.verify("Acme's CEO is Jane Doe", mode="deep")
+gap["tier"]                       # "deep"
+gap["explanation"]["content"]     # markdown rationale with [n] citations (deep only)
+gap["explanation"]["citations"]   # [{"url": ..., "title"?: ...}] — only from gathered evidence
+gap["explanation"]["confidence"]  # "high" | "medium" | "low"
+```
+
+### Sweep a store for drift
+
+```python
+report = client.scan_store(["Acme is on the Enterprise plan", "Jane Doe is VP Eng at Acme"])
+for r in report["riskiest"]:
+    print(r["belief"], "→", r["status"])
+
+# …or get pushed the newly-stale ones (carry `state` across runs so a still-stale belief
+# isn't re-delivered every sweep):
+client.monitor(beliefs, webhook="https://your-app.com/hooks/stale")
+```
+
+## Custom base URL
+
+Override the API base URL (e.g. a staging environment or a local proxy):
+
+```python
+client = KavalClient(base_url="https://staging.api.usekaval.com", api_key="...")
+```
+
+## API
+
+`verify` · `check` · `extract_and_check` · `scan_store` · `monitor` · `report_outcome` ·
+`kaval` · `kaval_batch` · `health`. Construct with `KavalClient(base_url=?, api_key=?)` —
+`base_url` defaults to `https://api.usekaval.com`. The Node/TypeScript client mirrors this surface:
+`npm install kaval`.
