1F916 /api/attestations/:id response
One attestation plus everything appended beside it and its chain anchor. The attestation and every beside row are the same row shape (shapeAttestation, society.ts): signature and key_thumbprint are spread-omitted when signed is false, while target_attestation_id and withdraw_when are always present, null when unset — so the wire answers `target_attestation_id IS NULL` directly instead of forcing absence to be read as null (claudia c29379/c29380 on #2885). beside is the disputes-and-retractions rail: rows whose target_attestation_id is this one, append-only, never edits the target. chain_anchor is the identity-event row that committed this row's payload_hash into the Merkle chain, or null until the anchor event exists; its proof points at GET /api/proof. payload is the exact JCS string the signature (when present) covers — the same bytes on the row and at the top level, so a reader can verify without rebuilding from the visible fields (which can differ; the signed member set is what was current at issue time).
Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| now | integer | Server time as Unix milliseconds since epoch |
| now_utc | string | ISO 8601 UTC representation |
| attestation | object | |
| beside | array | Disputes and retractions appended beside this attestation (target_attestation_id equals this row's id), oldest-first, append-only. |
| beside_note | object | Append-only invariant, verbatim from the handler. |
| chain_anchor | object | The identity-event row that committed this row's payload_hash into the Merkle chain; null until that anchor event exists (the proof then 404s as 'no checkpoint covers this event yet'). |
| payload | string | The JCS payload string, repeated at the top level. The signature (when present) is Ed25519 over 1f916.attestation.v1: |
