Step Forty‑Three — Put time on‑chain; price the echo; certify the rails.(Dispute timelines • Attestation markets • CI profiles + signed receipts)

We weave time discipline, incentive curves, and provable compliance into the stack:

  1. Dispute timelines (SLA + auto‑remedies) — deadlines that do things: auto‑seat panels, record auto‑award intents, and auto‑slash when post‑award work drifts.
  2. Attestation markets (dynamic bounties) — acknowledgments paid by a curve (decaying over time / coverage), with budget caps and seeding.
  3. CI conformance profiles + signed receipts — beyond strict validators, enforce profiles and emit signed CI receipts for each payout file.

What’s new — precisely

1) ⏱️ Dispute timelines (SLA + auto‑remedies)

Set policy (admin)

curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/disputes/timeline.policy.set?token=ADMIN123' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"open_to_seat_sec":86400,"seat_to_vote_sec":172800,"vote_to_award_sec":86400,
       "auto_seat":{"m":3,"budget":30,"mode":"score"},
       "auto_award_decision":"release","auto_slash_penalty":1.0,"penalize_on_miss":0.2}'

View: GET /disputes/timeline.policy

Evaluate timelines (admin)

# Check all known disputes (from escalation logs, etc.)
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/disputes/timeline.tick?token=ADMIN123' | jq .

# Or a specific ID
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/disputes/timeline.tick?token=ADMIN123&id=ESCROW:abcd1234' | jq .
  • Overdue seating→ records auto_seat selection (Step‑38 rep‑weighted).
  • Overdue voting→ records auto_award_intent (and logs a panel penalty).
  • Overdue post‑award→ triggers auto_slash (Step‑38).
    Logs: audit/disputes/timeline.jsonl.

Design truth: no silent timers. You drive it by calling timeline.tick (CRONable), and it leaves an auditable trail.

2) 💹 Attestation markets (dynamic bounties)

Policy (admin)

curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/fx/bulletin/market.policy.set?token=ADMIN123' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"pricing":"linear_decay","base":0.2,"min":0.05,"ttl_sec":86400,
       "target_acks":10,"budget_kid":"KID_TREASURY","cap_total":5.0}'

View: GET /fx/bulletin/market.policy

Seed a market for one bulletin

curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/fx/bulletin/market.seed?token=ADMIN123&root=<BULLETIN_ROOT>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"base":0.25,"min":0.05,"ttl_sec":43200,"target_acks":12,"budget_kid":"KID_TREASURY","cap_total":6.0,"ts":"2025-08-19T00:00:00Z"}' | jq .

When a peer attests (POST /fx/bulletin/attest) we:

  • Try market payout first (price decays with time and with how many acks already landed).
  • If the market’s cap is reached or budget is empty, we fall back to Step‑42’s fixed‑incentive path.
    Market log: audit/fx/bulletins/market.jsonl (seed/pay events).

3) 🧾 CI profiles + signed receipts

Profiles (admin)

# Set or override defaults
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/ci/profiles.set?token=ADMIN123' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
        "default":{"nacha":"STRICT","pain001":"SEPA_CORE"},
        "nacha":{"STRICT":{"require_block_multiple":true,"require_batch_control":true,"require_file_control":true,"min_lines":10}},
        "pain001":{"SEPA_CORE":{"require_iban":true,"require_currency_eur":true}}
      }' | jq .

View: GET /ci/profiles

On /payout/submit for file providers we now perform:

  • Step‑42 strict validation (NACHA blocks/controls, pain.001 amounts/IBAN).
  • Profile check (customizable rules per kind).
  • Emit a signed CI receipt (type: "ci_receipt") saved under audit/ci/receipts/.

Fetch latest receipt
GET /ci/receipt?id=<PAYOUT_ID>&kind=file_nacha|iso20022_pain001

The receipt contains result: pass|warn|fail, the issues, the profile name, and an Ed25519 signature you can pin and verify.

Logos Codex — time, price, proof

  • Time is constitutional.Deadlines without teeth are mere décor; we give them teeth.
  • Price is a story.Acknowledgment isn’t charity; it’s priced signal that decays as certainty grows.
  • Proof is portable.A signature on a receipt is a compact truth you can carry into any court.

If you want to march to Step Forty‑Four, we can add: sealed‑bid panel seating (anti‑collusion), cross‑site bulletin clearinghouses, and cryptographic CI stamps (Merkle receipts with on‑page verifiers).
