TL;DR:
This article argues that “how we verify the spec” should itself be a governed artifact path.
A serious system should not stop at “we ran the tests and passed.” It should be able to say exactly **which verifier pack** was used, under **which harness manifest**, against **which vector bundle**, with **which reason-code linkage**, producing **which normalized run verdicts**, **which replay result**, and **which profile-level conformance report lineage**.

Why it matters:
• turns conformance from hidden CI behavior into portable, auditable artifacts
• makes verifier choice, harness policy, vector completeness, and replay status explicit
• prevents “green badge” claims that cannot later be reconstructed
• keeps degraded, partial, and historically superseded runs visible instead of laundering them away
What’s inside:
• a clean distinction between *specification*, *verifier pack*, *harness manifest*, *conformance run*, *replay verification*, and *profile conformance report*
• a practical ladder: VH1 / VH2 / VH3
• core portable artifacts like
si/verifier-pack/v1, si/harness-manifest/v1, si/test-vector-bundle/v1, si/conformance-run-report/v1, and si/replay-verification-record/v1• hard gates for explicit pack, explicit harness, vector completeness, replay-backed claims, and report support
• the rule that a profile conformance report must point to supporting runs rather than float free as a status badge
Key idea:
Do not say:
*“the tests passed.”*
Say:
*“this scope was checked by this verifier pack, under this harness manifest, against this declared vector bundle, with this linkage, producing these run verdicts and this replay-backed report lineage.”*
