Category	Critical	High	Medium	Resolved
RFC vs Implementation	2	2	1	✅ 4
SDK vs RFC	1	2	1	✅ 3
Docs vs Implementation	0	1	2	✅ 2
Total	3	5	4	9

🔴 CRITICAL Discrepancies

1. ✅ RESOLVED: SDK TrustLevel Enum Missing LEVEL_0 and LEVEL_4

Location:

RFC: capiscio-rfcs/docs/002-trust-badge.md §5
SDK: capiscio-sdk-python/capiscio_sdk/badge.py line 66

RFC-002 §5 Specifies:

Level 0 - Self-Signed (SS)
Level 1 - Registered (REG)
Level 2 - Domain Validated (DV)
Level 3 - Organization Validated (OV)
Level 4 - Extended Validated (EV)

✅ FIXED - SDK TrustLevel Enum Now Has:

class TrustLevel(Enum):
    """Trust level enum matching RFC-002 §5."""
    LEVEL_0 = "0"  # Self-Signed (SS) - did:key, iss == sub
    LEVEL_1 = "1"  # Registered (REG) - account registration
    LEVEL_2 = "2"  # Domain Validated (DV) - DNS/HTTP proof
    LEVEL_3 = "3"  # Organization Validated (OV) - legal entity
    LEVEL_4 = "4"  # Extended Validated (EV) - security audit

Resolution:

Added LEVEL_0 and LEVEL_4 to TrustLevel enum
Updated comments to use RFC-002 §5 canonical names
Added tests for all 5 trust levels

Verified: 2026-01-19 - All 28 badge tests pass

2. ✅ RESOLVED: SDK BadgeClaims Missing RFC-002 Required Claims

Location:

RFC: capiscio-rfcs/docs/002-trust-badge.md §4.3
SDK: capiscio-sdk-python/capiscio_sdk/badge.py line 85

✅ FIXED - BadgeClaims Now Includes:

ial: str - Identity Assurance Level (default "0")
raw_claims: Optional[Dict] - Access to all claims including vc, key, cnf
has_key_binding property - Checks IAL-1 and cnf claim presence
confirmation_key property - Access to cnf claim

Resolution:

Added ial field with default "0"
Added raw_claims for advanced access to full payload
Added has_key_binding property per RFC-002 §7.2.1
Added confirmation_key property for cnf claim
Fixed audience string to list conversion
Added tests for IAL parsing and raw_claims preservation

Verified: 2026-01-19 - All 28 badge tests pass

3. ✅ RESOLVED: CLI Trust Level Name Mismatch

Location:

RFC: capiscio-rfcs/docs/002-trust-badge.md §5
CLI: capiscio badge issue --help

RFC-002 §5 Names:

Level	RFC Name
0	Self-Signed (SS)
1	Registered (REG)
2	Domain Validated (DV)
3	Organization Validated (OV)
4	Extended Validated (EV)

✅ FIXED - CLI Help Now Shows:

Trust Levels (RFC-002 §5):
  0 - Self-Signed (SS) - did:key, iss == sub - implied by --self-sign
  1 - Registered (REG) - account registration with CA
  2 - Domain Validated (DV) - DNS/HTTP domain ownership proof
  3 - Organization Validated (OV) - legal entity verification
  4 - Extended Validated (EV) - manual review + security audit

Resolution:

Updated capiscio-core/cmd/capiscio/badge.go issueCmd help text
Updated --level flag descriptions on issue and keep commands
Updated proto comments for enum clarification (enum names preserved for backwards compat)

Verified: 2026-01-18 - CLI now aligns with RFC-002 §5

4. RFC-004 Not Implemented (Draft Status)

Location:

RFC: capiscio-rfcs/docs/004-tchb-transaction-hop-binding.md
Status: Draft v0.3

RFC-004 Defines:

X-Capiscio-Txn header for transaction ID
X-Capiscio-Hop header for hop attestation
Chain of custody verification

Current Implementation Status:

❌ Server: No router handlers for TCHB headers
❌ SDK: No TCHB classes or functions
❌ CLI: No hop attestation commands
❌ Docs: No mention of RFC-004/TCHB

Impact: RFC-004 is documented in rfcs repo but not implemented anywhere.

✅ PARTIALLY RESOLVED:

Added Implementation column to capiscio-rfcs/README.md showing RFC-004/005 as "⏳ Not Implemented"

Remaining Work: Add roadmap item for future implementation.

🟠 HIGH Priority Discrepancies

5. ✅ RESOLVED: Server Endpoint Path Inconsistency

Location:

Server: router.go
Docs: api.md

✅ FIXED - Added "API Route Architecture" section documenting:

/v1/* (Clerk JWT)        - Dashboard/UI operations
/v1/sdk/* (API Key)      - SDK/CLI programmatic access
Public (No Auth)         - Agent cards, verification, health

Resolution:

Added comprehensive route architecture documentation to api.md
Created visual route tree diagram
Explained dual-path pattern and authentication requirements
Documented why some routes exist in both paths

Verified: 2026-01-19

6. ✅ RESOLVED: RFC-002 IAL Claim Handling Undocumented in SDK

Location:

RFC: 002-trust-badge.md §7.2.1
SDK: badge.py

✅ FIXED - SDK BadgeClaims Now Has:

ial: str field (default "0")
has_key_binding property checking IAL-1 and cnf presence
confirmation_key property for cnf claim access

Resolution:

Added ial field to BadgeClaims dataclass
Added has_key_binding property per RFC-002 §7.2.1
Added tests for IAL parsing

Verified: 2026-01-19

7. ✅ RESOLVED: CLI Docs Missing Some Flags

Location:

CLI Docs: capiscio-docs/docs/reference/cli/index.md
Actual CLI: capiscio badge keep --help

✅ FIXED - CLI Docs Now Show:

badge keep CA mode as implemented (not "future")
--agent-id flag documented
--ca flag documented with default value
--api-key flag documented

Resolution:

Updated badge keep documentation to show CA mode as implemented
Added --agent-id flag to docs
Fixed trust level descriptions to match RFC-002 §5

Verified: 2026-01-19

🟡 MEDIUM Priority Discrepancies

8. ✅ RESOLVED: RFC-007 Server Identity Headers Not in SDK

Location:

RFC: 007-mcp-server-identity.md §6.1
SDK MCP module: mcp_server_identity.py

✅ VERIFIED - Functions Exist in SDK:

parse_server_identity_http() - Parses headers from HTTP response
verify_server_identity() - Full verification workflow
ServerIdentity dataclass - Holds server_did, trust_level, badge
ServerIdentityResult dataclass - Verification result with allow/deny

Resolution: Documentation was correct - functions exist. Verified 2026-01-19.

9. ✅ RESOLVED: FastAPI Middleware State Attribute Naming

Location:

SDK: fastapi.py
Docs: badge.md

✅ FIXED:

Changed request.state.agent_claims → request.state.agent in badge.md
Added request.state.agent_id to examples
Added tip about using built-in CapiscioMiddleware
Updated trust level gate example with all 5 levels (0-4)
Added exclude_paths parameter to SDK middleware (was documented but missing)

Resolution:

Fixed doc attribute names to match SDK
Implemented exclude_paths feature in SDK FastAPI middleware
Added tests for exclude_paths feature

Verified: 2026-01-19 - All FastAPI tests pass

10. MCP Server Registry Routes Documentation

Location:

Server: router.go lines 210-222
Docs: Not fully documented

New MCP Server Routes (RFC-007):

// SDK routes
r.Get("/v1/sdk/servers", h.mcp.ListMCPServers)
r.Post("/v1/sdk/servers", h.mcp.CreateMCPServer)
r.Post("/v1/sdk/servers/discover", h.mcp.DiscoverMCPServer)
r.Get("/v1/sdk/servers/{id}", h.mcp.GetMCPServer)
r.Put("/v1/sdk/servers/{id}", h.mcp.UpdateMCPServer)
r.Delete("/v1/sdk/servers/{id}", h.mcp.DeleteMCPServer)
r.Post("/v1/sdk/servers/{id}/discover", h.mcp.DiscoverAndUpdateMCPServer)
r.Post("/v1/sdk/servers/{id}/badge", h.mcp.IssueMCPServerBadge)
r.Post("/v1/sdk/servers/{id}/disable", h.mcp.DisableMCPServer)
r.Post("/v1/sdk/servers/{id}/enable", h.mcp.EnableMCPServer)
r.Post("/v1/sdk/servers/badges/{jti}/revoke", h.mcp.RevokeMCPServerBadge)

// Public routes
r.Get("/v1/servers/{id}/status", h.mcp.GetMCPServerStatus)
r.Get("/v1/servers/badges/{jti}/status", h.mcp.GetMCPServerBadgeStatus)
r.Get("/servers/{id}/did.json", h.mcp.GetMCPServerDIDDocument)

Status: Routes exist in server. Swagger auto-generated. User docs may need updates.

Remaining Work: Document MCP server endpoints in user-facing docs if needed.
