Interface Manifest
An Interface Manifest is the record the Issuer publishes to the Registry before release naming, for every Integration Point in a run, the party occupying it, the product and version, its Component Fingerprint, its Authorship Disclosure and its disclosed interests. A run without one is non-conforming.
What it means
Before a single canary flies, the world can see who is holding every seat, what software they are running and what stake they have. Nobody can swap a component or hide an interest after the results come in.
What it carries
- Per Integration Point: the party, the product and version, the Component Fingerprint, the reference to its AI Disclosure and its disclosed interests.
- Any seam one product occupies alongside another, where separation rules allow it.
- Every extension in use, declared before the first commitment.
- In jail mode: which of the agent’s tool-call, egress, delegation and memory paths the Warden sits in. A path not listed is an untested escape vector and is reported as not proven.
The manifest hash is carried in every point-in-time result.
