A verification bundle binds ten sub-claims. > Quote the Decision Receipt definition byte-identically or not at all: 'A Decision Receipt is a signed, replayable record of how a consequential decision was made, created at the moment it happens and independently verifiable afterwards.' > Tamper evidence is two checks together: a content edit leaves the Ed25519 signature valid (it covers the stored integrity hash) and is caught by the integrity check; rewriting the hash then fails the signature. Never claim the signature alone detects edits. # Retrieve a sealed review submission and its canonical components > The sealed subject plus the ten components in the ruled registry order, each carrying the EXACT canonical bytes that were sealed into that slot. **RECORDS** which bytes occupied each named slot of this submission. **PROVES BYTE EQUALITY ONLY.** `component_digest` is `sha256(UTF8(canonical_bytes))`, and the envelope of those ten reproduces `subject.review_package_digest` under `meshqu-review-package/v1`. That is the whole of the claim: it says these are the bytes that were sealed. It does not say the content is true, complete, correctly interpreted, reviewed by a human or authorised. **Source availability is reported SEPARATELY, and only when asked.** Pass `check_source_availability=true` and each MeshQu-custody item in the sealed `source_manifest` is retrieved from custody and re-hashed against the digest the manifest sealed; the result appears in `source_availability`, one entry per item, bound to the exact resolution entry that was checked. Without the parameter every entry is `NOT_CHECKED`, which states that no check ran — it is not a finding about the bytes. `AVAILABLE_VERIFIED` is the only state that follows a hash comparison, and it means the bytes were retrievable AT THAT MOMENT. It is not a guarantee of future availability and it says nothing about whether the source is the right source. `NOT_FOUND`, `ACCESS_DENIED`, `DIGEST_MISMATCH`, `ERASED`, `OPERATIONAL_FAILURE` and `NOT_CHECKED` are six distinct answers that never collapse into one another, and none of them is an approval. An unavailable source does not rewrite the sealed subject: the historical digest is unchanged and the current status sits beside it. These observations are not part of any component and are in no digest. This route never returns bytes; the reviewer-only `.../source-items/:sourceItemId/bytes` route does (PWB-036). The bytes are returned verbatim and are not re-serialised, re-ordered or pretty-printed; any of those would produce a string whose digest no longer matches. Supply `expected_id`, `expected_revision` and `expected_digest` together to assert the identity a judgment was recorded against. All three or none — a partial expectation is refused with 400 rather than half-checked. A disagreeing leg returns 409 with a code naming THAT leg, so "a different submission" is never reported as "the bytes changed". A match means the judgment names the same subject; it does not mean the judgment is correct. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api/openapi.json get /v1/review-submissions/{submissionId} openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: MeshQu API description: >- Governance infrastructure for policy-aware AI decisions.

It increments when the new submission’s `active_rules_hash` differs from the previous submission’s, and carries forward when it does not. Named for what it counts: `meshqu.policy_versions` holds no draft revision counter, so this is NOT a count of author edits and does not move for an edit that leaves the active-rule projection unchanged (a renamed rule, a changed description, a different case pack). Two submissions may therefore share a `candidate_revision` and still be different subjects — they are told apart by `id` and `review_package_digest`, which is why the currentness check has three legs. type: integer submission_sequence: minimum: 1 description: >- Submission ordinal within the policy version, from 1.
