Registry

A badge granted once and never re-checked becomes a sticker, so this re-verifies every conformant org.

.github/workflows/registry.ymlruns @flashyos/conformance

What it does

On a schedule, never on request, the workflow re-verifies every organisation in the conformance registry against the files it publishes at its own domain — over https, with a timeout, a size cap, and redirects followed only within the same registrable domain.

That is what makes a badge revocable, and — the part that matters — makes the revocation visible: an organisation that stops publishing lapses in public with the date it was last confirmed, rather than quietly disappearing.

The registry is committed so a lapse shows up in a diff rather than only in a log nobody reads, the same reason the estate record and the adoption signal are committed.

When it runs
Daily at 06:17 UTC, on demand, and when the registry’s domain list or the front-door package changes. On a schedule and never on request, because a badge is only revocable if something re-checks it whether or not it was asked to.
What it emits
A committed `registry/registry.json` and its per-org badges, each carrying the date the organisation was last confirmed conformant.

What a stranger can verify

That a listed organisation still publishes what its badge claims. Re-run the same check against any domain with `npx @flashyos/conformance <domain>`; an org that stopped serving its files lapses in the committed registry with a date, not silently.

Questions

What does the Registry workflow do?
It re-verifies every organisation in the conformance registry against the files each still publishes at its own domain, over https with a timeout and size cap, and commits the result so a lapse appears as a diff.
Why re-verify conformance on a schedule instead of on request?
Because a badge granted once and never re-checked becomes a sticker within a month, and a registry of stickers is a directory of anyone who asked. Scheduled re-verification is what makes the badge revocable at all.
What happens when a listed organisation stops publishing?
It lapses in public. The committed registry records the date it was last confirmed conformant, so an org that goes dark shows the date it stopped rather than quietly disappearing from the list.
The concept

An AI agent trust register is a neutral record, read by a party other than the transactor, of whether an organisation’s agents are authorised, revocable and audited — the difference between an agent that says it is accountable and one a stranger can confirm is.
