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. # Upload the declared source bytes > Receives the octets and checks them against the FROZEN declaration: the exact length first, then the SHA-256 of the decoded bytes. **RECORDS** that octets arrived and agreed with what was declared. **DOES NOT PUT THEM IN CUSTODY.** Nothing is at a content address until finalise succeeds, and nothing is read back until then either. A disagreement ABANDONS the upload rather than leaving it retryable, with a code naming which half disagreed: `DECLARED_LENGTH_MISMATCH` (usually a truncated transfer) or `DECLARED_DIGEST_MISMATCH` (different content). The declaration is frozen, so a retry against the same upload could only fail the same way — start a new one. Base64 is transport only. The digest is over the decoded octets and the decoded octets are what is stored. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api/openapi.json put /v1/source-uploads/{stagingId}/bytes openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: MeshQu API description: >- Governance infrastructure for policy-aware AI decisions.
