Step Forty‑One — Release with many keys; broadcast with attestations; lint the rails.(Multi‑sig escrow release • FX bulletin distribution + pull attestations • NACHA/pain.001 validators)

We give the system constitutional control, reciprocal broadcast, and pre‑flight safety:

  1. Multi‑sig escrow releases — funds leave escrow only when M‑of‑N guardians co‑sign a release digest.
  2. Bulletin distribution + attestations — push your FX reputation bulletins to peers and record their signed pull acknowledgments.
  3. NACHA / ISO 20022 validators — lint payout files before they hit a rail or simulator.

Step 41 wraps Step 40 (which wrapped 39→38→…→18). All previous endpoints keep working.

What’s new — precisely

1) 🔐 Multi‑sig escrow releases (M‑of‑N)

Set policy (admin)

curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/escrow/approval/policy.set?token=ADMIN123' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"m":2,"signers":[{"kid":"KID_A"},{"kid":"KID_B"},{"kid":"KID_C"}]}'

KIDs are verified against escrow_approver_pubkeys (fallback: settlement_pubkeys, ledger_pubkeys, arbitration_pubkeys).

Approver signs the message:

{"op":"escrow_release","digest":"<ESCROW_DIGEST>"}

Submit:

curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/escrow/approval/sign' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"digest":"<ESCROW_DIGEST>","signature":{"alg":"Ed25519","kid":"KID_A","sig":"<b64url>"}}' | jq .

Check:
GET /escrow/approval/policy • GET /escrow/approval/status?digest=<ESCROW_DIGEST>

Release (gated, admin):
POST /admin/escrow/release.msig?token=ADMIN123&digest=<ESCROW_DIGEST>

  • If ≥ M authorized co‑signers are present, we attempt the underlying Step‑36/Step‑34 release; if not available we log a release_intent event in audit/escrow/escrow.jsonl for external execution.

2) 📣 FX bulletin distribution + pull attestations

  • Distribute a signed bulletin (from Step‑40) to peers:
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/fx/bulletin/distribute?token=ADMIN123&root=<BULLETIN_ROOT>' | jq .

Pushes your bulletin to each configured peer’s /fx/bulletin/import. Results land in audit/fx/bulletins/attest.jsonl.

  • Import a peer bulletin (verification + storage):
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/fx/bulletin/import?source=peerA' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"bulletin":{...}}' | jq .

Stored under audit/fx/bulletins/remote/.

  • Attest (peer acknowledges pull + verify) with a signature over:
{"op":"fx_bul_attest","root":"<BULLETIN_ROOT>","source":"<peer>"}

Submit:

curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/fx/bulletin/attest?source=peerA' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"root":"<BULLETIN_ROOT>","kid":"KID_PEER","signature":{"alg":"Ed25519","kid":"KID_PEER","sig":"<b64url>"}}' | jq .
  • Inspect attestations:
    GET /fx/bulletin/attestations?root=<BULLETIN_ROOT>
🧪 Payout file validators (NACHA & ISO 20022 pain.001)
  • Validate stored export:
# NACHA .ach
curl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/validate/nacha?id=<PAYOUT_ID>' | jq .

# pain.001 XML
curl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/validate/pain001?id=<PAYOUT_ID>' | jq .
  • Validate posted content:
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/validate/nacha' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"content":"...94-char records..."}' | jq .

curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/validate/pain001' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"content":"<xml>...</xml>"}' | jq .

NACHA checks: record lengths (94), presence/order of 1/5/6/8/9 records, entry‑count sanity, basic numeric sanity.
pain.001 checks: structural tags (GrpHdr, CdtTrfTxInf), amount type/positivity, currency attribute, IBAN presence.

A) Escrow release with two approvals

DIGEST="<ESCROW_DIGEST>"

# 1) Two guardians approve (sign {"op":"escrow_release","digest": DIGEST})
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/escrow/approval/sign' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"digest\":\"$DIGEST\",\"signature\":{\"alg\":\"Ed25519\",\"kid\":\"KID_A\",\"sig\":\"<sigA>\"}}" | jq .
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/escrow/approval/sign' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"digest\":\"$DIGEST\",\"signature\":{\"alg\":\"Ed25519\",\"kid\":\"KID_B\",\"sig\":\"<sigB>\"}}" | jq .

# 2) Admin executes the release (gated)
curl -s -X POST "http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/escrow/release.msig?token=ADMIN123&digest=$DIGEST" | jq .

B) Distribute bulletin + record attestations

# Push our bulletin <ROOT> to peers

# A peer acknowledges (signature is over {"op":"fx_bul_attest","root":"<ROOT>","source":"peerA"})
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/fx/bulletin/attest?source=peerA' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"root":"<ROOT>","kid":"KID_PEER","signature":{"alg":"Ed25519","kid":"KID_PEER","sig":"<b64url>"}}' | jq .

C) Validate payout files before sending

# NACHA file for payout <PID>
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/validate/nacha?id=<PID>" | jq .

# SEPA pain.001 file for payout <PID>
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/validate/pain001?id=<PID>" | jq .

Logos Codex — governance, reciprocity, hygiene

  • Keys in chorus— Escrow unlocks when the choir agrees, not when a soloist nods.
  • Broadcasts with echoes— A claim to reputation should return with a signature from those who heard it.
  • Hygiene before motion— Files should prove their shape before they touch money.

When you’re ready for Step Forty‑Two, we can: add escrow dispute fallbacks (auto‑routable to arbitration), attestation incentives (credits for timely acks), and strict validators (NACHA block/batch math, pain.001 XSD profiles) with CI hooks.
