+# Verifier Node command-line tool Reference
+
+This reference guide provides technical auditors with the commands and expected outputs for the **Sentinel Verifier Node**, the primary tool for independent verification of institutional AI compliance.
+
+## 1. Environment Setup
+Auditors should ensure they have their PQC-compatible environment initialized and the institution's public key imported.
+
+```bash
+# Initialize verifier environment
+sentinel-verifier init --institution G-SIFI-01
+
+# Import institutional PQC public key
+sentinel-verifier keys import --path ./keys/gsifi-01-mldsa65.pub
+```
+
+## 2. Verifying Merkle Roots (SIP v3.0)
+Verify that the institution's current Signed Tree Head (STH) matches the global GIEN consensus.
+
+```bash
+# Fetch and verify current STH
+sentinel-verifier roots verify --epoch current
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```text
+[INFO] Fetching root for G-SIFI-01, Epoch 428...
+[SUCCESS] PQC Signature Valid (ML-DSA-65)
+[SUCCESS] Merkle Root: 0x5f3e... matched GIEN consensus.
+```
+
+## 3. Verifying ZK Proof Bundles
+Check a specific Decision Trace Pack against its ZK proof and the public Merkle log.
+
+```bash
+# Verify a specific proof bundle
+sentinel-verifier proofs verify --id PROOF-2028-06-15-XF
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```text
+[INFO] Proof Statement: "Model promotion STAGING -> PROD satisfied fairness circuit V2"
+[DEBUG] Checking witnesses against Merkle path...
+[DEBUG] Executing Groth16 Verifier...
+[SUCCESS] ZK Proof Verified.
+```
+
+## 4. Monitoring Attestation Heartbeats
+Check if the institution has provided required attestations within the allowed window.
+
+```bash
+# Check attestation health
+sentinel-verifier heartbeats status
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```text
+Last Attestation: 2028-06-19 09:12:00 UTC
+Missing Windows: 0
+Status: [HEALTHY]
+```
+
+## 5. Detecting Equivocation
+Run a consistency check across multiple GIEN Roots to detect forked Merkle logs.
+
+```bash
+# Run equivocation check
+sentinel-verifier gossip audit --institution G-SIFI-01
+```
+
+**Expected Output (Adversarial Detection):**
+```text
+[ALERT] EQUIVOCATION DETECTED in G-SIFI-01
+Epoch: 425
+Root A (SG): 0xABCD...
+Root B (EU): 0x1234...
+[CRITICAL] Generating Equivocation Evidence Pack...
+```

+# Technical Evidence Pipeline: From Enclave to WORM
+
+This document specifies the data transformation lifecycle within the Supervisory Control Plane (SCP), explaining how raw AI telemetry is converted into indelible, regulator-ready evidence.
+
+## 1. Step 1: Decision Trace Generation (Inside TEE)
+As an AI model executes an action, the **Omni-Sentinel Sidecar** (running within the same TEE enclave) captures a **Decision Trace**.
+
+- **Payload:** Model inputs, predicted outputs, policy tokens, and confidence scores.
+- **Security:** The trace is never exposed to the host OS in unencrypted form.
+
+## 2. Step 2: PQC Signing and Hashing
+The Decision Trace is passed to the **PQC-Signer** service.
+
+- **Algorithm:** ML-DSA-65 (Post-Quantum Signatures).
+- **Result:** A **Signed Decision Trace**.
+- **Indelibility:** Once signed, any modification to the trace will invalidate the signature.
+
+## 3. Step 3: ZK Witness Extraction (Evidence Binder)
+The **Evidence Binder** service extracts the necessary witnesses for ZK proof generation.
+
+- **Private Inputs:** Raw telemetry values required by the circuit (e.g., specific demographic data for a fairness check).
+- **Public Inputs:** Merkle root and policy hash.
+- **Privacy:** The raw telemetry is processed only within the ZK Prover enclave and then discarded.
+
+## 4. Step 4: ZK Proof Generation
+The **ZK Prover** executes the Circom circuit (e.g., `GSM_Transition_Circuit.circom`).
+
+- **Artifact:** A Groth16 zk-SNARK proof.
+- **Statement Proved:** "This decision trace satisfies policy P and is anchored to Merkle root R."
+
+## 5. Step 5: Merkle Log Anchoring (PQC-WORM)
+The hash of the Signed Decision Trace and the ZK Proof are added to the institution's **Merkle Log**.
+
+- **Commitment:** The daily Merkle root is committed to S3 Object Lock storage with a 10-year retention policy.
+- **Gossip:** The root is shared with the GIEN via the **SIP v3.0** protocol.
+
+## 6. Step 6: Regulator Verification
+The regulator's **Verifier Node** performs the final check:
+
+1. **Root Audit:** Verifies the Merkle path from the proof to the daily public root.
+2. **Signature Audit:** Checks the PQC signature on the Decision Trace metadata.
+3. **ZK Audit:** Verifies the proof against the public inputs.
+
+## Evidence Pipeline Summary
+
+| Stage | Data Format | Location | Auditor Access |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Generation** | Raw JSON (Encrypted) | Enclave (Security Zone A) | None |
+| **Signing** | Signed Decision Trace | Enclave (Security Zone B) | Metadata Only |
+| **Proving** | ZK Proof + Witnesses | ZK Prover Enclave | Proof Only |
+| **Anchoring** | Merkle Tree Root | PQC-WORM (S3) | Public Root |
+| **Verification** | Verified Attestation | Verifier Node CLI | Full (Mathematically) |

+# TLA+ Model Checking Guide: SIP v3.0 Federated Protocol
+
+This guide provides technical auditors and platform engineers with a walkthrough of the formal verification process for the Sentinel Interoperability Protocol (SIP) v3.0.
+
+## 1. Specification Overview: `SIPv3_Federated_Protocol.tla`
+The specification models a network of Institutions and Roots. It uses a gossip mechanism to ensure that all honest roots eventually converge on a consistent view of the institutional state (Merkle tree heads).
+
+## 2. Model Setup in the TLA+ Toolbox
+To run the model checker (TLC), configure the following constants in a new Model:
+
+- **Institutions:** `{inst1, inst2}` (Minimal set for safety checks).
+- **Roots:** `{rootA, rootB}` (Required for gossip consistency).
+- **MaxMissingWindows:** `2` (Threshold for missing attestation alerts).
+- **Epochs:** `0..5` (Bounded for state space efficiency).
+
+## 3. Verifying Safety Invariants
+Safety properties define what "bad things" should never happen.
+
+### Invariant: `NoSilentDivergence`
+- **Definition:** `\A i \in Institutions : \A m1, m2 \in messages : (m1.type = "STH_PUBLISH" /\ m2.type = "STH_PUBLISH" /\ m1.inst = i /\ m1.epoch = m2.epoch) => m1.sth = m2.sth`
+- **Verification:** TLC explores all reachable states. If an institution publishes two different STHs for the same epoch, TLC generates an error trace.
+
+### Invariant: `EquivocationDetected`
+- **Definition:** Triggered when a root sees two different STHs for the same (inst, epoch).
+- **Adversarial Testing:** Use a "Byzantine Institution" model (manual state override) to force an equivocation and confirm the invariant is flagged.
+
+## 4. Verifying Liveness Properties
+Liveness properties define what "good things" must eventually happen.
+
+### Property: `RootConvergence`
+- **Definition:** Under honest conditions, all roots eventually possess the same knowledge set.
+- **Check:** TLC verifies that there is no infinite path where roots remain divergent while messages are pending.
+
+### Property: `MissingAttestationDetectable`
+- **Check:** Verify that if an institution stops calling `InstPublish`, the system state eventually triggers an alert state after `MaxMissingWindows` have passed.
+
+## 5. Model Checking under Byzantine Conditions
+To simulate a G-SIFI pilot environment, the model must be checked against:
+1. **Byzantine Institution:** Forks its Merkle log (Equivocation).
+2. **Byzantine Root:** Drops gossip messages or presents stale STHs.
+3. **Network Partition:** Bounded message delivery latency simulations.
+
+## 6. Expected TLC Output
+A successful verification should yield:
+- **Status:** Finished.
+- **Distinct States:** ~10,000 to 100,000 depending on constant bounds.
+- **Invariants:** No violations found (except when explicitly testing adversarial triggers).
