algovoi-policy-binding 0.1.0

Additive policy-snapshot binding for the AlgoVoi substrate (version-provable, rotation-detectable; L1 frozen)

algovoi-policy-binding

Additive policy-snapshot binding for the AlgoVoi substrate. Binds a content-addressed policy snapshot over an existing AlgoVoi reference — a settlement-action binding_ref (v1) or a retention_chain ref (v0/v1) — making a decision verifiable against the exact policy version in force and a policy rotation detectable by recomputation. The canonicalisation base and the underlying binding/chain are frozen and untouched; this layer only references them by hash.

policy_ref       = "sha256:" + SHA-256(JCS(policy_document))
policy_bound_ref = "sha256:" + SHA-256(JCS({policy_ref, subject_ref}))

Install

pip install algovoi-policy-binding==0.1.0

Use

from algovoi_policy_binding import policy_ref, policy_bound_ref

policy = {"policy_id": "aml.transfer", "version": 1, "max_amount": 1000, "deny_jurisdictions": ["XX"]}
pref = policy_ref(policy)

# subject_ref is any AlgoVoi reference: a binding_ref, or a retention_chain ref (v0/v1)
binding_ref = "sha256:7dc4a2bf62b3c5eabd10fc875ff7fc10f188666f15838c4a51464cc72e80f6ca"
pbr = policy_bound_ref(binding_ref, pref)

Version-agnostic: the same call binds over retention_chain v0, v1, or a binding_ref — subject_ref is imported purely by hash.

Conformance

conformance/policy_binding_v1/ contains the canonical vectors and a standalone verify.py (stdlib + rfc8785, no package import). Recompute is the test:

pip install rfc8785
python conformance/policy_binding_v1/verify.py

It checks positives byte-for-byte, the P→P' rotation negative on every subject, key-order invariance, and subject-binding. The subjects are the published canonical references from chopmob-cloud/algovoi-jcs-conformance-vectors.

Adoption

This package is itself an adopter of the AlgoVoi substrate, and asks the same of those who build on it. To qualify for a free v0 licence key for algovoi-mandate-auditor, your project must pass four checks (scripts/check_v0_adoption.py):

1. Dependency — algovoi-policy-binding declared in your lockfile/manifest.
2. Vector hash anchor — at least one canonical policy_ref / policy_bound_ref hash from the conformance set appears in your project (you ran our vectors).
3. NOTICE — preserve the NOTICE file; it must name AlgoVoi and algovoi-policy-binding.
4. Version pin — pin algovoi-policy-binding==0.1.0 (or a wheel --hash), not a bare range.

python scripts/check_v0_adoption.py /path/to/your/project
