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. # Finalise a staged upload into custody > Writes the staged octets at their no-overwrite content address — `//` — then reads them back out of the store and hashes them a second time. **RECORDS** that MeshQu holds these exact octets under this tenant, and that the bytes the store returned hash to the digest they were written under. **PROVES** byte identity of what was stored against what was sent. It proves nothing about the source: not that it is authentic, not that the locator ever served it, not that it is the right source for the policy. **FINALISED IS NOT SEALED.** A finalised object that no sealed review submission references is an ORPHAN, and bounded reconciliation will collect it. Sealing is a separate transaction on the review-submission route. If the object already exists at that address, it is reused only after tenant, digest profile, byte length AND the stored octets themselves all agree. Equal digests with unequal bytes is reported as a conflict and nothing is overwritten — there is no code path in this API that writes over a finalised object. A read-back failure returns 500 and finalises nothing: a store that does not return what it was given is a server fault, not a caller error. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api/openapi.json post /v1/source-uploads/{stagingId}/finalise openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: MeshQu API description: >- Governance infrastructure for policy-aware AI decisions.
