### Description (declared)

# world-model-mcp-verifier

Standalone reference verifier for the [world-model-mcp](https://github.com/SaravananJaichandar/world-model-mcp) v0.13+ tamper-evident audit log. **Python + TypeScript**, both languages tested against the same JSON test vectors so drift is caught at CI time.

Compliance auditors download this repo, pin the operator's public-key fingerprints, and verify audit-log inclusion proofs locally. Nothing here depends on the world-model-mcp server at runtime — that is the point. If the server can convince this verifier that a fact was recorded in a signed epoch, the fact was recorded. If it cannot, verification fails with a specific reason.

## What gets verified

Given an inclusion-proof bundle produced by the world-model-mcp server's `prove_entry_inclusion` MCP tool + the operator's Ed25519 and SLH-DSA-SHA2-128f public keys, the verifier confirms:

1. Every closed epoch in the chain has a hybrid signature that verifies under the operator's public keys against the canonical epoch payload.
2. Each epoch's `prev_epoch_root` matches the previous epoch's `merkle_root` (or `EPOCH_GENESIS_ROOT` for the first).
3. The RFC 6962 Merkle inclusion proof verifies for the entry's `row_hash` at the given `leaf_index` against the containing epoch's `merkle_root`.

Any single failure returns a specific reason — which epoch, which check. The verifier fails closed on every unexpected input.

## Algorithm choices

- **Hash function:** SHA-256 (FIPS 180-4).
- **Signature primitives:** Ed25519 (FIPS 186-5) + SLH-DSA-SHA2-128f (FIPS 205). Hybrid — both signatures required for verification.
- **Merkle tree:** RFC 6962 (same as Certificate Transparency).
- **Domain separation:** every signed message is prefixed with `world-model-mcp/audit-log/epoch-root/v1\0`.
