+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented here. The format is based on
+[Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project adheres
+to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- Deterministic core: access-matrix, labeled corpus, probe/probeset (stable hash),
+  binary PASS/LEAK engine, and runner.
+- `trimgate` CLI: `run`, `diff` (trim gap), `keygen`, `verify`.
+- pytest plugin (`pytest --trimgate`) collecting `*.trimgate.yaml` suites into one
+  test node per probe.
+- Ed25519 signed receipts with a canonical (JCS-subset) JSON form. The signed
+  payload binds the adapter spec, a timestamp, a nonce, and the signer key
+  fingerprint; `verify --expect-fingerprint` pins the trusted signer.
+- Azure AI Search + Entra reference adapter behind the `[azure]` extra, with a
+  hardened OData filter (per-group `eq`; rejection of unsafe group ids and unsafe
+  field names; empty-group fail-close; audit-sized top-k) and a live filter-shape
+  smoke test.
+- PEP 561 `py.typed`, CI jobs for the azure extra and a build/install-from-wheel
+  smoke test, coverage gate, `SECURITY.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
+
+### Security
+
+- Reject duplicate chunk-IDs in the corpus (a public copy of a secret id could
+  otherwise authorize the secret — a false pass on a real leak).
+- Validate matrix/corpus at load (scalar-where-list, dangling group references,
+  malformed rows) so a config typo cannot silently produce a green run.
+- A run that audited nothing (zero probes, or every probe skipped) is a hard
+  error, not a pass.
+- `trimgate verify` exits non-zero for a validly-signed receipt whose verdict is
+  not `pass`, and warns when the signer is not pinned with `--expect-fingerprint`.
+- `canonical_json` rejects floats and non-finite values.
+- `load_corpus` rejects non-string `chunk_id`/`label` and duplicate JSON keys.
+- Strict base64 decoding of signatures.
+
+### Notes
+
+Pre-1.0: schema, receipt format, and CLI may change. See the README "Limitations"
+section for what the auditor does and does not catch.

+# Contributing to TrimGate
+
+Thanks for your interest. TrimGate is a soundness-critical tool, so the bar for
+trust-path changes is high: every change to the engine, runner, loaders, signing,
+or adapters needs tests.
+
+## Development setup
+
+```console
+python -m venv .venv
+. .venv/bin/activate           # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
+pip install -e ".[dev]"        # add ,azure to work on the Azure adapter
+```
+
+## Before you push
+
+All of these must pass (CI enforces them):
+
+```console
+ruff check .
+ruff format --check .
+mypy
+pytest --cov=trimgate --cov-branch -q
+```
+
+## Expectations
+
+- **Test-driven.** Write the failing test first, especially for any trust-path
+  change. A bug fix lands with a regression test that fails without the fix.
+- **Fail closed.** Ambiguity (unknown id, malformed input, adapter error) must be
+  an error, never a silent pass. New code must not introduce a false-pass path.
+- **Conventional Commits** for messages (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `test:`, ...).
+- **Update the CHANGELOG** `Unreleased` section.
+- **PR checklist:** tests pass, coverage holds, types clean, docs updated, and any
+  new claim in the README is honest about what is and is not guaranteed.
+
+## Corpus contributions
+
+The evaluation corpus and examples are CC-BY-4.0 and must be fully synthetic — no
+real PII, customer names, or third-party-copyrighted text.

+
+
+TrimGate is a deterministic, test-time auditor for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
+pipelines. For each test identity and probe it checks
+
+```
+retrieved(query, identity) is a subset of authorized(identity)
+```
+
+where `authorized(identity)` is computed from a **declared** access-matrix, not
+from the system under test. Any chunk outside the authorized set is a leak; a leak
+fails the run with a non-zero exit code. There is no LLM and no randomness in the
+trust path: the verdict is pure set arithmetic.
+
+It is an **auditor, not an enforcer** — it never sits in the live request path. It
+proves *conformance to the declared policy*, not that the policy itself is
+correct, and it is only as good as the access-matrix and labeled corpus you give
+it. That honesty is the point: the output is evidence for your auditor, never a
+certificate. See [Limitations](#limitations) for what it does and does not catch.
+
+This is v1, built against the reconciled contract in the project handoff doc
+(section 0). Status: deterministic core, pytest plugin, signed receipts, and the
+Azure + Entra adapter are implemented and exercised against a live Free-tier Azure
+AI Search index (a filter-shape check — see [Limitations](#limitations)).
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```console
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+
+# Run the bundled quickstart against a deliberately leaky demo adapter.
+# A leak always exits non-zero (1 = leak, 2 = fail-closed error), so it gates CI
+# without any extra flag.
+trimgate run \
+  --adapter trimgate.demo:leaky_adapter \
+  --matrix examples/quickstart/access-matrix.yaml \
+  --corpus examples/quickstart/corpus.labeled.jsonl \
+  --probes examples/quickstart/probes.yaml
+# -> bob leaks the finance chunk; exit code 1
+
+# Swap to trimgate.demo:clean_adapter for a passing run (exit 0).
+```
+
+The per-identity trim gap (which chunks an identity could improperly reach):
+
+```console
+trimgate diff --adapter trimgate.demo:leaky_adapter \
+  --matrix examples/quickstart/access-matrix.yaml \
+  --corpus examples/quickstart/corpus.labeled.jsonl \
+  --probes examples/quickstart/probes.yaml
+```
+
+### As a pytest plugin
+
+Drop a `*.trimgate.yaml` suite file next to your tests and run `pytest
+--trimgate`. Each probe becomes one test node that fails on a leak:
+
+```yaml
+# security/quickstart.trimgate.yaml
+adapter: myapp.tests:make_adapter      # MODULE:ATTR (class or factory)
+matrix: security/access-matrix.yaml
+corpus: security/corpus.labeled.jsonl
+probes:
+  - {id: P-001, identity: alice, probe_class: retrieval, query: "..."}
+```
+
+## Signed receipts
+
+The receipt is serialized with a canonical JSON form (a JCS-compatible subset, not
+a full RFC 8785 implementation — verifiers must use the bundled serializer).
+Signing it with Ed25519 makes the verdict tamper-evident and verifiable offline:
+
+```console
+trimgate keygen --private signing.pem --public signing.pub
+
+trimgate run --adapter ... --matrix ... --corpus ... --probes ... \
+  --out receipt.json --sign --key signing.pem      # writes receipt.json + receipt.json.sig
+
+# verify exits 0 only when the signature is valid AND the audit verdict is pass.
+# Without --expect-fingerprint it prints an UNTRUSTED warning (tamper-evidence only):
+trimgate verify receipt.json --public signing.pub
+# Pin the trusted signer's fingerprint (printed by verify above) to enforce authenticity:
+trimgate verify receipt.json --public signing.pub --expect-fingerprint <fp>
+```
+
+The signed payload binds the adapter spec, a timestamp, a nonce, and the signer's
+key fingerprint, so a receipt names *which* system it audited, *when*, and *who*
+signed it (and a zero-probe run is a hard error, not a pass). Editing a signed
+receipt — e.g. flipping `fail` to `pass` — makes `verify` fail.
+
+**Authenticity requires pinning.** Bare `verify` only proves the receipt was
+signed by the holder of the supplied key; an adversary can sign their own forged
+receipt with their own key. To prove the receipt came from a *trusted* signer, the
+verifier must pin that signer's fingerprint via `--expect-fingerprint`, obtained
+out-of-band. The public key is not trust on its own.

+## Azure AI Search adapter
+
+The reference adapter reproduces Azure AI Search + Entra security trimming: it
+resolves an identity to its Entra group ids and applies the OData intersection
+filter so only authorized chunks are retrieved. Install the optional extra:
+
+```console
+pip install "trimgate[azure]"
+```
+
+```python
+from trimgate.adapters.azure import AzureSearchAdapter, make_search_client
+
+adapter = AzureSearchAdapter(
+    make_search_client(endpoint="https://<svc>.search.windows.net", index_name="<index>"),
+    group_resolver=resolve_entra_groups,   # identity id -> [group object ids]
+)
+```
+
+`make_search_client` defaults to `DefaultAzureCredential` (managed identity) on
+Basic tier and above; the Free tier requires an API key (`AzureKeyCredential`).
+The adapter is duck-typed against the search client, so it unit-tests with a fake
+client and needs no live tenant. Group ids are validated (commas/quotes/control
+characters are rejected) and the audit retrieves a large top-k so a low-ranked
+unauthorized chunk cannot be truncated out of view. See
+[docs/azure-setup.md](docs/azure-setup.md) for a live walkthrough.
+
+## Limitations
+
+TrimGate is deliberately scoped. It does **not** yet cover:
+
+- **Policy shape.** The access-matrix is a flat `group -> labels` union. It cannot
+  express deny rules, per-user exceptions, legal holds, or label hierarchy. If your
+  real ACL uses those, TrimGate cannot represent the policy and would mis-audit the
+  excepted documents — declare such cases out of scope rather than trusting a pass.
+- **Retrieval shape.** The soundness check assumes single-stage retrieval over the
+  full filtered candidate set. Rerankers, hybrid fusion, citation/answer
+  post-processing, and small top-k windows can each hide a leak; the Azure adapter
+  defaults to a large top-k but you must size it above what the filter can return.
+- **Adapter fidelity.** The audit is only as faithful as the adapter. The reference
+  Azure adapter *rebuilds* the production OData filter, so it best catches drift
+  that lives outside that filter (e.g. stale index ACLs); an over-broad filter is
+  caught only if the unauthorized chunks are actually surfaced (hence large top-k).
+- **The live Azure example is a filter-shape smoke test**, not proof of real Entra
+  enforcement: the seed tags and the `group_resolver` share invented ids, and on
+  Free-tier key auth there is no identity-based enforcement in the loop. It proves
+  the filter agrees with the matrix, not that production token-to-group resolution
+  is correct.
+- **Receipt authenticity needs out-of-band key pinning** (see above).
