Verification

How to validate Zen Mesh evidence locally and programmatically.

AI Agent / Reviewer Verification Flow​

  1. Fetch the manifest

    GET /ai/evidence/v1/manifest.json

  2. Inspect each capability entry

    • Check proof_status: victory_locked, local_mock_proven, implementation_present, planned, blocked, not_claimed
    • Verify evidence_refs point to existing zen-platform artifacts at github.com/zenmesh/zen-platform/docs/80-EVIDENCE/
    • Check non_claims for what is not claimed

  3. Verify Merkle/evidence hashes (where available)

    • Run make merkle-evidence-check in zen-platform to verify Merkle tree integrity

  4. Map to proof ledger

    • Runtime: github.com/zenmesh/zen-platform/docs/80-EVIDENCE/runtime/runtime_proof_ledger.json
    • Trust: github.com/zenmesh/zen-platform/docs/80-EVIDENCE/security/trust_lifecycle_proof_ledger.json

  5. Distinguish local/mock from live/prod

    • All proofs with proof_scope: "local_mock_harness_only" are deterministic mocks
    • No live or production execution is claimed unless proof_scope explicitly states otherwise

Make Targets (in zen-platform repo)​

Runtime Convergence​

make runtime-convergence-evidence-pack-v1-check   # Validate evidence pack
make runtime-proof-replay-verify                  # Verify all 10 proofs
make runtime-convergence-state-machine-check       # Validate 4 state machines
make runtime-convergence-readiness-report-check    # Check readiness (6 gaps)
make runtime-claims-guard-burn-down-check          # 0 critical overclaims
make runtime-victory-lock-check                    # Verify victory locks

Trust Lifecycle​

make trust-lifecycle-evidence-pack-v1-check        # Validate trust evidence pack
make trust-proof-replay-verify                     # Verify all trust proofs
make trust-lifecycle-state-machine-check           # Validate 4 state machines
make trust-lifecycle-readiness-report-check        # Check readiness report
make zero-trust-proof-matrix-check                 # Validate proof matrix
make trust-lifecycle-evidence-map-check            # Validate evidence map

Cross-Cutting​

make docs-evidence-alignment-check                 # Docs reference current evidence
make docs-truth-alignment-check                    # Docs truth alignment
make merkle-evidence-check                         # Merkle evidence integrity
make zenlock-rbac-contract-check                   # ZenLock RBAC contract

Public Docs Validation​

cd ~/zenmesh/docs
npm run validate:ai-evidence                       # Validate AI evidence artifacts
npm run build                                      # Build static site
