Step Forty — Approve together; file the rails; notarize the trust.(Multi‑sig payout approvals • Bank simulators (NACHA / ISO 20022) • FX reputation bulletins with M‑of‑N notarization)

We add prudence, rails, and shared memory:

  1. Multi‑sig payout approvals — don’t push money until enough trusted hands sign.
  2. Bank simulators — generate NACHA ACH and ISO 20022 pain.001 files for real‑world rails and test loops.
  3. FX reputation bulletins — export your merged scores as a signed bulletin, then co‑sign them with an M‑of‑N notary set.

Step 40 wraps Step 39 (which carried 38→37→36→…→18). All earlier endpoints continue to work.

What’s new — precisely

✅ Multi‑sig payout approvals (M‑of‑N)
  • Set policy(admin) curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/payout/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 payout_approver_pubkeys pins; falls back to settlement_pubkeys / ledger_pubkeys.)
  • Approver signsthe message {"op":"approve","id":"<PAYOUT_ID>"} with Ed25519: curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/approval/sign' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"id":"<PAYOUT_ID>","signature":{"alg":"Ed25519","kid":"KID_A","sig":"<b64url>"}}' | jq .
  • CheckGET /payout/approval/policy • GET /payout/approval/status?id=<PAYOUT_ID>
  • GatingPOST /payout/submit will refuse unless the request has ≥ M valid approvals from authorized KIDs.
    (Logs land in audit/payouts/approvals.jsonl.)
💳 Bank simulators: NACHA & ISO 20022 pain.001 (file exports)
  • Add providers (admin)# NACHA file output curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/payout/provider/add?token=ADMIN123&name=ach_file' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"kind":"file_nacha","immediate_origin":"123456789","immediate_destination":"091000019","company_name":"SOLVEFORCE","odfi_id":"12345678"}' # SEPA pain.001 XML output curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/payout/provider/add?token=ADMIN123&name=sepa_xml' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"kind":"iso20022_pain001"}'
  • Make a payout requestand submit via a file provider: REQ=$(curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/request' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"scheme":"ach","amount":25.00,"currency":"USD", "dest":{"routing":"011000015","account":"123456789","name":"Acme LLC"}, "memo":"Ops stipend","kid":"KID_X"}' | jq -c '.request') # (Ensure approvals satisfied, if policy m>0.) curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/submit?provider=ach_file' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d "{\"request\":$REQ}" | jq . Files are written to:
    • NACHA: audit/payouts/export/nacha/nacha-<PAYOUT_ID>.ach
    • pain.001audit/payouts/export/pain001/pain001-<PAYOUT_ID>.xml

These are mock generators suitable for test rails and bank simulators. Keep real credentials off-device.

🪪 FX reputation bulletins (signed & co‑signed)
  • Build a bulletin from the merged reputation snapshot (Step‑39): curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/fx/reputation/bulletin?token=ADMIN123&method=median' | jq . Produces a signed object: {"root":"<sha256>","body":{"type":"fx_reputation_bulletin","snapshot_root":"<sha256>", ...},"signature":{...}}
  • Cosign with a notary key (admin): curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/fx/reputation/bulletin/cosign?token=ADMIN123&root=<ROOT>' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"signature":{"alg":"Ed25519","kid":"KID_NOTARY","sig":"<b64url>"}}' | jq . Or self‑sign: curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin/fx/reputation/bulletin/selfsign?token=ADMIN123&root=<ROOT>' | jq .
  • Check quorum:
    • List: GET /fx/bulletins
    • One: GET /fx/bulletin?root=<ROOT>
    • Signers: GET /fx/bulletin/signers?root=<ROOT>
    • Quorum policy: GET /fx/bulletin/quorum (set via --fx-bulletin-quorum-file)

# 2) Two approvers sign (sign {"op":"approve","id":PID} off-device)
curl -s -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/payout/approval/sign' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

# 4) Inspect file path in response; also see audit/payouts/export/nacha/

B) Build and co‑sign an FX reputation bulletin

# Build (median)

# Self‑sign (or post an external signature)

Logos Codex — prudence, rails, and memory

  • Many eyes before money— stewardship is a chorus, not a solo.
  • Paper that moves— files that banks understand, born from first principles.
  • Reputation remembered— not as gossip, but as co‑signed fact.

On cue for Step Forty‑One, we can add: multi‑sig escrow releases, bulletin distribution over FX with pull attestations, and NACHA/pain.001 validation suites (schema + lint).
