Where Evidence Lives​

  • Public documentation evidence — docs/evidence/ in the docs repo
  • Runtime proof ledger — docs/80-EVIDENCE/runtime/ in zen-platform
  • Trust lifecycle evidence — docs/80-EVIDENCE/security/ in zen-platform
  • Zen-GC / Kubernetes validation — Zen-GC overview (separate repo)

Validation Evidence​

The Evidence Overview catalogs all validation evidence by area:

  • Runtime convergence — 10 proofs covering delivery, DLQ, backpressure, circuit breaker
  • Trust lifecycle — 10 proofs covering enrollment, mTLS, HMAC, ZenLock, rotation
  • Completion evidence — validated work-gate evidence and evidence integrity
  • Non-claims — capabilities explicitly not claimed
