Land rail-neutral factory receipt verification after runtime-core release

[GsCommand]

Current state

The Machine-Service Factory no longer needs the deployment-specific CLAS execution receipt as its universal trust profile.

Draft commandlayer/runtime-core#29 now implements a rail-neutral factory receipt profile:

• commandlayer.execution-evidence.v1
• signFactoryExecutionReceipt()
• verifyFactoryExecutionReceipt()
• fixed signed coverage of receipt_id, profile, issued_at, service, execution
• no mandatory ENS, ERC-8004, x402 or settlement fields

Draft commandlayer/verifyagent#49 adds independent verification of that profile and a cross-repo round-trip using the exact Commercial-shaped execution envelope. Node 20 and Node 22 CI pass.

What remains

This issue now tracks the release/landing gate rather than missing implementation:

1. founder approves/merges the runtime-core factory receipt API;
2. publish an approved runtime-core version;
3. replace VerifyAgent PR Add rail-neutral Machine-Service Factory receipt verification #49's temporary git commit pin with the published version;
4. select/configure the production public-key discovery adapter for the CommandLayer factory signer;
5. merge VerifyAgent PR Add rail-neutral Machine-Service Factory receipt verification #49 after those release checks;
6. activate the public UI/API path only when it can resolve the production verification key without secrets.

CLAS compatibility

Legacy/current CLAS scoped verification remains a specialized compatibility path. commandlayer/clas#39 continues to track the deployment-specific ENS/ERC-8004/x402 coupling in the current CLAS execution schema; that issue is no longer a blocker for the universal factory receipt.

Claim boundary

VERIFIED means cryptographic integrity/provenance of the signed execution envelope passed. It does not mean the underlying provider observation or model output is factually true.
