+
+      "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

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.

+      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
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      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

+      (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.

+              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

+              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,

+              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

+              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

+
+*The verdict that survived verification.* | **[Türkçe](README.tr.md)**
+
+Veridict is a protocol and reference implementation for **auditing AI with AI
+when humans no longer can**. An append-only, hash-chained evidence ledger
+records every step of an audit: falsifiable claims, machine verifiers, a
+blind heterogeneous jury, third-party watchers, and a signed certificate that
+**anyone can verify offline** — no trust in the auditor required.
+
+The founding premise: as AI output outgrows human review capacity, the human
+role is not *code reviewer* but **risk owner**. Veridict is built around that
+transformation — the machine owns the verdict of intelligence, the human owns
+the verdict of responsibility.
+
+## Why an audit ledger
+
+- **No silent passes.** No evidence → INCONCLUSIVE, flagged — never a clean bill.
+- **Tiers, not vibes.** Evidence has a fixed rank order: what a machine can
+  check directly (W1a) beats what can be reproduced statistically (W1b),
+  and both beat what a jury of models believes (W2/W3) — the ladder never
+  lets doctrine overturn machine evidence, and W3 alone never verifies.
+- **Identity is binding.** Every entry's hash binds its author; watcher manifests are signed, W1a is structurally impossible for them; a calibration ledger discounts producers whose claims were contradicted.
+- **Verify, don't trust.** Certificates replay offline against the ledger. `examples/spec_verifier.py` is a verifier written **from the standard alone** (zero imports of this codebase) that reaches the same verdicts from the published test vectors.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```bash
+pip install -e . && pip install pytest
+# PyPI name: `veridict-standard` (the bare `veridict` on PyPI is a
+# DIFFERENT project — not ours; from this repo or `pip install
+# veridict-standard` once published)
+
+# audit a task end-to-end (GATE mode) — see examples/ for runnable scenarios
+veridict --help
+
+# the system audits itself: ledger → claims → jury → certificate → offline verify
+python scripts/dogfood.py
+
+# verify a certificate offline (the property third parties care about)
+# (ledger + cert are release assets: gh release download v0.3.1
+#  or https://github.com/goun7/veridict/releases)
+veridict verify --ledger dogfood_ledger.jsonl --cert dogfood_cert.json
+
+# regenerate the standard's conformance test vectors (deterministic)
+python scripts/build_test_vectors.py
+
+# measure GATE latency against the design budget (§6.5: p95 < 30 min)
+python scripts/measure_latency.py
+```
+
+## Receipts (evidence over claims)
+
+The self-audit badge above is regenerated by CI on every push from the
+actual dogfood certificate (never hand-drawn) — and it links to that
+certificate, which you can verify offline yourself: fetch the ledger and
+certificate from the [latest release](https://github.com/goun7/veridict/releases)
+(`gh release download` or the assets list), then run
+`veridict verify --ledger dogfood_ledger.jsonl --cert dogfood_cert.json`.
+A failing audit turns it amber or red — worst-verdict-wins.
+
+| Check | Result |
+|---|---|
+| Test suite | 260 passed (both invocation styles, Python 3.12–3.14 in CI) |
+| Self-audit | valid certificate, risk `low`, GATE not blocked |
+| Offline replay | `veridict verify` rc 0 on the dogfood certificate |
+| Canary protocol | 10 catches / 3 honest misses / 0 false positives across 12 defect classes |
+| Tamper soak | 1500 mutated ledgers, 5 seeds → 100% detected, 0 silent passes |
+| Spec parity | reference verifier ≡ spec-only verifier on 8 failure modes |
+
+CI runs the suite, the dogfood self-audit, and the offline replay on every
+push — the receipts are regenerated, not narrated. The 1500-ledger tamper
+soak runs nightly (the push run exercises a 150-ledger slice).
+
+## Register a watcher in 3 commands
+
+```bash
+veridict registry init --registry r.jsonl --key-out r.key.json
+veridict registry register --registry r.jsonl --manifest examples/manifests/example-security.json --key-file r.key.json
+veridict registry index --registry r.jsonl --out index.json
+```
+
+Then audit with the external registry as authority:
+`veridict audit ... --registry r.jsonl` — revoked watchers are refused
+(§6.6). See CONTRIBUTING.md for writing your own.
+
+## Audit your own repo in 3 commands
+
+The fastest way to see Veridict work on *your* code: write a one-file task
+manifest naming your checkout and the claims you want evidence about, run
+the audit, verify the certificate offline — then link the pair from your
+README. A runnable demo lives in [`examples/run_audit.py`](examples/run_audit.py).
+
+```bash
+# 1) a task manifest (see examples/ and TaskManifest in veridict/schemas.py)
+cat > task.json <<'EOF'
+{"task_id": "my-audit", "artifact_path": "/path/to/your/repo",
+ "actor_identity": "you", "intent_lines": ["DOCTRINE: modules are idiomatic python"],
+ "criticality": [], "has_existing_tests": true, "pytest_args": []}
+EOF
+
+# 2) audit → ledger + certificate
+veridict audit --task task.json --mode HYBRID \
+    --ledger my-ledger.jsonl --cert-out my-cert.json
+
+# 2b) or WATCH a live audit as it writes (streaming transport, §10.3):
+veridict watch --ledger my-ledger.jsonl --forever
+
+# 3) verify offline (anyone can; no trust in the auditor required)
+veridict verify --ledger my-ledger.jsonl --cert my-cert.json
+```
+
+Want the reference implementation to run the audit for you and publish the
+certificate? Open an **[Audit my repo](https://github.com/goun7/veridict/issues/new?template=audit-my-repo.md)**
+issue — the certificate that comes back is evidence, not endorsement (§13):
+anyone can replay it offline against the published ledger, and a REFUTED
+claim says exactly which evidence refuted it.
+
+### Audit on every push (GitHub Action)
+
+Run Veridict inside your own CI without installing anything locally:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  audit:
+    uses: goun7/veridict/.github/workflows/veridict-audit.yml@v1
+    with:
+      intent: "DOCTRINE: modules are idiomatic python"
+      mode: HYBRID          # GATE / WATCH / CERTIFICATE also available
+      fail-on-refuted: false # flip to true once you trust the audit
+```
+
+The run uploads `veridict-audit` artifacts (ledger + certificate) — download
+once, verify forever: `veridict verify --ledger veridict-ledger.jsonl --cert
+veridict-cert.json`. See the workflow file for all inputs.
+
+## Public site

+
+## Status & roadmap
+
+Phase 1 (core) and Phase 2 (watcher layer) are implemented with end-to-end
+receipts in the dogfood run. Phase 3 (platform + standard) substrate is in
+place: spec draft, conformance kit (C1–C10), marketplace index, test vectors,
+spec-only verifier. The remaining exit criteria are external by nature:
+
+1. an **independent verifier** implemented from the spec by someone else,
+2. a first **external production deployment**,
+3. **≥10 active watcher manifests** on the marketplace.
+
+Roadmap decisions are tracked in the issue tracker; the commercial
+model is documented in [`docs/commercial-model.md`](docs/commercial-model.md).
+
+## Contributing
+
+Start with the issue tracker — the tracker is seeded with the project's own
+exit criteria:
+
+- **[Independent verifier from the standard alone](https://github.com/goun7/veridict/issues/1)** (exit criterion ①) — write a verifier without reading our code; where you and the reference disagree, either the standard is ambiguous or someone is wrong, and both findings earn errata credit.
+- **[Good-first issues](https://github.com/goun7/veridict/labels/good-first-issue)** — e.g. canary corpus expansion (self-contained, tests included as reference).
+- **[Errata proposals](https://github.com/goun7/veridict/issues/new?template=standard_errata.md)** — a normative sentence that is wrong, ambiguous, or unimplementable. Accepted errata land in §14.2 with credit.
+
+All work is governed by the receipts culture: tests and regenerated
+evidence over claims. See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+## Model
+
+Open-core: the standard, the ledger core, and the offline verifier are
+Apache-2.0 — forever. Commercial offerings (hosted platform, watcher
+certification, enterprise integrations) build on top and never gate the
+open core. See [`docs/commercial-model.md`](docs/commercial-model.md).
