regent-receipt-verify

Verify a Regent Control receipt or allow token without Regent: only the token and a JWKS you saved while the issuer was reachable. Nothing calls the network. One dependency (cryptography) for RS256.

pip install regent-receipt-verify
curl -s https://control-api.regentprotocol.org/v1/control/.well-known/jwks.json > jwks-2026-09.json   # save it now, keep it with the receipts
regent-verify @receipt.txt --jwks jwks-2026-09.json --request request.json --mandate mandate-v2-reveal.json --policy policy-v3-reveal.json --counterparty-jwks get4agent-jwks.json
from regent_receipt_verify import verify
res = verify(token, jwks, request={"tool": "stripe", "action": "charge.create", "resource": None, "args": {...}},
             mandate_reveal=reveal_from_owner, policy_reveal=policy_reveal_from_org)
res.valid, res.kind, res.claims, res.args_hash_match, res.mandate_match, res.policy_match

What it proves:

check meaning
signature (RS256, kid from the JWKS) Regent's issuer signed exactly these claims
kind receipt / allow / budget a receipt (typ receipt+jwt, aud regent-receipt) can never pass as an access token
expired receipts carry a 10-year evidence period; an allow token lives about a minute, so for evidence its expiry is a note, not a failure
args_hash_match the token authorised this exact request (tool, action, resource, args) and nothing else
mandate_match the owner's revealed mandate version (snapshot + salt, terms-v2) opens the receipt's mandate_hash
policy_match the organisation's revealed policy version (text + profile + salt, policy-v1) opens policy_hash; starter-pack decisions need only the public text
confirmation_match the settlement confirmation the counterparty (merchant, PSP, custodian) signed over the same decision, embedded in the receipt, re-verified against the counterparty's own JWKS and compared with the receipt's figures: two signatures over the same facts, checked offline. settlement_source: agent receipts have none

Key rotation: pass --jwks several times (every JWKS you saved). Exit code 0 when the signature verifies and every supplied check matches.

Test vectors are minted by the real issuer (packages/receipt-verify-vectors), and the same file drives the Node package @regent-protocol/receipt-verify.

Evidence bundles (0.4.0)

A bundle is one JSON document from the console ("Evidence bundle" on a decision or an audit event) or from GET /v1/organizations/{org}/decisions/{id}/bundle. It carries every audit event of a decision with the exact bytes that were hashed, the Merkle proof to the batch root, Regent's signed checkpoint over that root and its chain position, the epoch proof, the OpenTimestamps proof, the retained receipt and the keys.

regent-verify bundle regent-evidence-dec_7f301d041e9f.json
regent-verify bundle regent-evidence-dec_7f301d041e9f.json --jwks jwks-2026-09.json --checkpoint-jwks audit-jwks.json
regent-verify bundle regent-evidence-dec_7f301d041e9f.json --rpc https://api.mainnet-beta.solana.com
from regent_receipt_verify.bundle import verify_bundle
res = verify_bundle(bundle, receipt_jwks=saved_receipt_jwks, checkpoint_jwks=saved_audit_jwks,
                    rpc="https://api.devnet.solana.com")   # rpc is optional
res.valid, res.events, res.receipt_valid, res.receipt_anchored, res.links_ok, res.rpc_ok
check meaning
canonical bytes sha256(payload_canonical) == payload_hash, and the bytes parse to the payload
batch proof payload hash → Merkle proof → batch root
checkpoint Regent's RS256 statement (typ checkpoint+jwt) names this batch: id, seq, root, head
epoch proof batch root → epoch proof → epoch root
receipt verifies, names the bundle's decision, and is byte-for-byte the one inside the anchored receipt event
links consecutive checkpoints chain (prev_head of N == head of N-1); one seq, one checkpoint
on-chain (--rpc) the append and anchor transactions succeeded and carry the root in an instruction to the audit program

Keys default to the ones inside the bundle, which proves consistency; pass the JWKS you saved (--jwks, --checkpoint-jwks) to prove provenance. The checkpoint JWKS is public at https://api.regentprotocol.org/v1/audit/.well-known/jwks.json.
