sha256:e74981a0195f4e6dbf98cfdc24c4692cf96ffd820b3d5b4a4e64b40a72da2cceIllustrative decision receipt
Three example receipts bind a logical action, attempt, policy, evidence, ordered events, and distinct outcome states to stable serialized records.
Scope
The illustrated JSON Schema and three example decision records.
Canonical reconstruction
Each example freezes its canonicalization rule, schema version, logical action and attempt identifiers, normalized sample inputs, policy binding, evidence state, ordered timestamps, and outcomes.
Optional stages record not attempted, not applicable, unknown, or their actual state instead of implying success.
Meaning of the digest
A matching SHA-256 digest shows that the declared canonical bytes recompute to the displayed value. It is a change indicator, not an identity or integrity authority.
Example decision receipts
Illustrative simulation. These examples are not production receipts or supported integration contracts.

Every example record reconstructs
Each displayed digest recomputes from the declared canonical UTF-8 bytes, and mutations to input, rule, event order, or disposition change that digest.
Illustrative example · Evidence: receipt-schemaLimit: The reconstruction test covers these three example records only.
Outcome states stay separate
Policy disposition, execution outcome, authoritative-record status, and optional-export status are distinct fields with explicit unavailable and unknown states.
Illustrative example · Evidence: receipt-schema, public-logger-sourceLimit: The website fixture does not assert production storage or exporter behavior.
What this record does not establish.
- Boundary
The schema and example records illustrate the evidence shape; they are not a supported product contract or production receipt.
- Boundary
A digest indicates changed canonical bytes; it does not prove signer identity, authenticity, or immutability.
