# Latticra Seal Status

Status: early evidence-bound verification layer
Scope: local report-only verification, manifest/hash baseline, policy regression, and Panel integration planning.

## Current classification

Latticra Seal is currently a bounded local evidence subsystem.

It may describe local state, generate reports, compare hash baselines, and participate in policy-denial tests.

It must not be described as a production enforcement layer.

## Current evidence

Known current evidence includes:

- `latticra-seal` command wrapper installed in the local user path
- local Fedora Workstation report generation
- report-only mode
- installed component marker for `latticra-seal`
- hash lock material in `latticra.seal.lock`
- policy regression workflow through GitHub Actions
- policy-denial testing through `make seal-policy-denials`
- product-spine direction for an earned security-product path
- no-effect operator receipt report implementation for bundled denied metadata
- operator-visible receipt report surface and status checkpoint
- local capability registry schema contract before any registry loader exists
- local capability registry schema implementation plan before any schema C code exists
- no-effect local capability registry schema implementation with bounded entries and denied defaults
- operator-visible local capability registry schema report surface and status checkpoint
- Panel-visible Seal dashboard planning checkpoint before any Panel UI or view-model implementation
- Seal Panel dashboard view-model contract before any view-model implementation, report loading, or Panel UI rendering
- Seal Panel dashboard view-model implementation plan before any C implementation, report parsing, report loading, host scanning, or Panel UI rendering
- bounded no-effect Seal Panel dashboard view-model implementation with caller-provided report strings only
- Seal Panel dashboard view-model report surface/status checkpoint with deterministic local fixture output only
- signed receipt proof path verification-only implementation with digest/key agreement and no trust-root loading, revocation lookup, signing, effects, or authority
- signed receipt proof path report surface/status checkpoint with deterministic local fixture output only and no trust-root loading, revocation lookup, signing, effects, or authority

## Correct public wording

Latticra Seal is an early verification and reporting layer inside Latticra. It focuses on local evidence, policy boundaries, manifest/hash baselines, and report-only system state inspection.

## Incorrect public wording

Do not say that Latticra Seal protects production systems, prevents malware, prevents ransomware, enforces runtime isolation, modifies the kernel, installs system services, or provides certified host security.
