# Cryptographic Provenance Model
2+
3+
This document outlines the design and local verification guidelines for the CompText Cryptographic Provenance Engine.
4+
5+

6+
7+
## 1. Local Integrity Manifest Model
8+
9+
CompText utilizes local provenance manifests to track artifact changes and link them back to their origin task context.
10+
11+
- **Schema Definition**: Provenance manifests are stored as JSON files with the `.provenance.json` extension alongside their matching artifact.
12+
- **Canonical Hash**: Checksums are computed entirely offline using a self-contained SHA-256 algorithm.
13+
- **Parent Link**: Connects the artifact to its preceding parent artifact or task description to establish a local chain of custody.
14+
15+
### Schema Shape
16+
```json
17+
{
18+
"schema_version": "0.1",
19+
"artifact_path": ".comptext/context_pack.latest.json",
20+
"sha256": "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855",
21+
"parent_link": "task_description_or_proposal_path",
22+
"metadata": {
23+
"timestamp": "2026-06-05T10:57:20Z"
24+
}
25+
}
26+
```
27+
28+
---
29+
30+
## 2. Boundaries and Scope Limits
31+
32+
- **Local-Only Verification**: Checksums are calculated locally. No blockchain, distributed consensus, or remote network validation is supported or implemented.
33+
- **Not Security Proof / Certification**: These manifests are for change detection and chain of custody tracking. They do not constitute security proof, certification, or official compliance.
34+
- **Untrusted Input Stance**: Any file without a matching/valid provenance manifest or one whose checksum fails verification is treated as mutated and untrusted.

- `git diff --exit-code`
29+
- **VALIDATION**:
30+
- Verification test `test_provenance_verification` passed successfully.
31+
- All format, compiler check, test execution, and clippy lints check out clean.

- **ARTIFACTS**:

- `.agent/skills/ctxt-phase-15-cryptographic-provenance/SKILL.md`
35+
- `reports/phase_15_status.md`
36+
- **GIT**: Committed Phase 15 files and pushed to origin/main.
37+
- **NETWORK**: offline-only (no network requests made or permitted during design and coding).
38+
- **SECRETS**: Redacted from all configurations and outputs.
39+
- **POLICY_DECISIONS**:
40+
- Local verification baseline: Provenance engine relies strictly on local file checksum matches, not centralized consensus systems.
41+
- Pure-Rust algorithm: Built a self-contained SHA-256 implementation to verify offline compatibility, avoiding network socket cargo fetches.
42+
- Review-Gate remain authoritative: Provenance manifests serve as supplementary change-detection metadata rather than formal security proofs.
43+
- **RISKS**: Checksums are used solely as local integrity flags and do not provide absolute certification.
44+
- **NEXT**: Roadmap Completed
45+

## Detailed Implementation Notes
49+
1. **Model Specification**: Authored `docs/PROVENANCE_MODEL.md` defining the local JSON manifest structure (`.provenance.json`) and SHA-256 integrity rules.
50+
2. **Self-Contained Hash**: Added a pure-Rust SHA-256 hashing utility in `src/cli.rs` to allow complete offline verification without new network dependencies.
51+
3. **Verify Subcommand**: Implemented `ctxt verify <file_path> [--parent <parent_link>]` to support manifest generation and checksum verification.
52+
4. **Validation Test**: Added `test_provenance_verification` testing correct manifest generation, successful verification on identical content, and validation failures on mutated content.
53+
5. **Skill Registry updates**: Configured and registered `.agent/skills/ctxt-phase-15-cryptographic-provenance/SKILL.md` with explicit allowed/forbidden scopes and recomputed local SHA-256 change-detection integrity hash.
