Paid doors are the operations carrying x-payment-info: GET without payment answers HTTP 402 with the x402 v2 challenge (accepts[0]: scheme exact, network eip155:8453, USDC 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913, payTo 0x212686404A7D1E1fD88F35eD6200c3aF7A78ae31); pay it and retry with the X-PAYMENT header. Required query parameters carry an example that reaches the 402. Free previews are named per door under x-csoai.free_preview. Catalog: https://councilof.ai/.well-known/x402.json and https://councilof.ai/api/x402. Verify is free: https://councilof.ai/gspc-verify. Offer & Receipt emission is conditional: a 402 carries server-signed offers only when the Pages signing key is available; a settled 200 carries a signed receipt only when settlement exposes the required payer and transaction evidence and that key is available. The extension uses JWS/EdDSA, kid did:web:csoai.org#board-attestation-1, published at https://csoai.org/.well-known/did.json. Check either without trusting this document: POST it to /api/receipts/verify, or run scripts/verify_receipt.py, which reads did.json and contacts nobody. 22 axes measured · 14 model fleets · 3 public leader scores · 8 fact runs · TIE is TIE · not a certificate.'

    why_no_eip712: the edge holds one Ed25519 signing key (a Cloudflare Pages secret) and no secp256k1 signer; eip712 would require a key nobody has provisioned, so we emit none rather than a format we cannot produce
