    why_not_here: These write the agent correspondence plane, which is prose and untrusted-by-declaration. It is deliberately not part of the REST fact surface, and the two planes are kept apart rather than merged for convenience.

      description: 'Stateless verification of an emem.os_trace.v1 record against a substrate profile: schema, device identity, capture window, per-layer coverage, segment digest chain, merkle trace_root, emitted-output binding, and the device''s ed25519 signature. Returns the full verdict with every failed check named (chain_broken, missing_layer, output_unbound, signature_invalid, ...), never just a boolean, so a device maker can debug an enrollment offline before writing.


        When to use: Call while building a device integration (''why was my trace rejected'', ''is this trace admissible under robot.fleet.v1''), or to audit the execution evidence behind a fact by resolving its emem:trace: token and re-verifying. Pass `claimed_payload_digest` to additionally check that a specific output is bound inside the trace.'
