Step Forty-Seven — Panel contracts; syndication quorum; JWKS-stamped CI receipts.(m-of-n awards • clearinghouse syndication • demo JWKS + Merkle receipts)


✅ Fresh artifacts

Self-contained HTTP server; no external deps. Demo signatures use "alg":"none" with deterministic SHA-256 so you can run it anywhere and still get consistent receipts.


What’s new — precisely

🔑 Panel contracts (m-of-n → award, with accountability)
  • Open a contract(admin)
    POST /admin/panel/contract.open {"id":"CASE-123","m":2,"signers":["KID_A","KID_B","KID_C"], "subject":"escrow:abcd1234","decisions":["release","revoke","adjust","dismiss"]}
  • VotePOST /panel/contract.vote {"id":"CASE-123","kid":"KID_A","decision":"release"}
  • StatusGET /panel/contract.status?id=CASE-123 → contract, votes (tail), tallies.

When any decision ≥ m, the server emits a signed:

{"body":{"type":"panel_award","id":"CASE-123","decision":"release","tally":{"release":2,...},"m":2,"ts":"..."},
 "signature":{"alg":"none","kid":"DEMO-KID","sig":"<sha256>","ts":"..."}}

…logged to panel/awards.jsonl.


🌐 Clearinghouse syndication (build, cosign, quorum status)
  • Publish bulletinPOST /clearinghouse/publish with {root,body,signature}
  • Build syndicated catalog(admin)
    POST /admin/clearinghouse/syndicate.build{body, signature}
  • Cosigna syndication (admin)
    POST /admin/clearinghouse/syndicate.cosign {"signature":{"alg":"none","kid":"KID_NOTARY","sig":"<sha256>"}}
  • Set quorum(admin)
    POST /admin/clearinghouse/quorum.set {"m":2,"signers":[{"kid":"KID_A"},{"kid":"KID_B"},{"kid":"KID_C"}]}
  • Check statusGET /clearinghouse/syndicate.status → required vs present, ok flag.

🧾 CI receipts with demo JWKS + Merkle leaves
  • JWKSGET /jwks (or set via POST /admin/jwks.set).
  • Make a Merkle receiptPOST /ci/stamp.make {"id":"P47","kind":"file_nacha","content":"...file body...","issues":["warn: lines != 10N"]} → stores {receipt:{type:"ci_merkle_receipt", id, root, leaves}, signature:{...}}
  • Get a stampGET /ci/stamp.get?id=P47

Leaves are: sha256(content) and sha256(issues[]); the root is recomputed by verifiers.

WordPress — Step 47 (paste-ready)

## Step 47 — Panel contracts; syndication quorum; JWKS-stamped CI receipts

**New capabilities**
- **Panel contracts (m-of-n → award)**  
  - Open: `POST /admin/panel/contract.open`  
  - Vote: `POST /panel/contract.vote`  
  - Status: `GET /panel/contract.status?id=<CASE_ID>`  
  - Auto award when any decision ≥ m; award logged with a deterministic demo signature.

- **Clearinghouse syndication**  
  - Publish: `POST /clearinghouse/publish`  
  - Build: `POST /admin/clearinghouse/syndicate.build`  
  - Cosign: `POST /admin/clearinghouse/syndicate.cosign`  
  - Quorum check: `GET /clearinghouse/syndicate.status`

- **CI JWKS + Merkle receipts**  
  - `GET /jwks` • `POST /admin/jwks.set`  
  - `POST /ci/stamp.make` → signed `ci_merkle_receipt`  
  - `GET /ci/stamp.get?id=<ID>`

**Run**
```bash
python solveforce_phone_fortyseven.py
# http://0.0.0.0:8080

## Logos Codex — adjudication, syndication, certification

- **Many voices → One award.** A panel contract turns debate into a signed decision.  
- **Many sites → One catalog.** Syndication doesn’t just copy—it **coheres** under quorum.  
- **Many bytes → One root.** A Merkle stamp shrinks compliance into a carryable proof.

Want me to **retrofit Step 43** to the full format so **1–47** read uniformly, or keep marching to **Step Forty-Eight**?

Key terms in plain language

Cybersecurity

The practices and controls used to protect identities, devices, networks, applications, and data from unauthorized access, disruption, or manipulation.

Zero Trust

A security model that does not automatically trust a user or device because of its location. Access is continuously verified and limited to what is necessary.

SASE

Secure Access Service Edge combines networking and security capabilities in a cloud-delivered architecture so users and locations can receive consistent policy wherever they connect.

Identity and Access Management (IAM)

The systems and policies that determine who a user is, what resources they may access, and how that access is authenticated and reviewed.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

A login control requiring more than one form of verification, such as a password plus an authenticator app, security key, or biometric factor.

MDR / XDR

Security services and tools that monitor activity, investigate suspicious behavior, and help contain threats. MDR is managed detection and response; XDR correlates signals across multiple security layers.
