Adds ges.agent-verification-receipt.v1: a closed JSON schema for agent verification receipts, a stdlib validator and CLI (python -m ges receipt ...), valid and invalid fixtures, and a reusable composite action that embeds the receipt in a PR body. It turns the repository's Staged / Merged / Verified language (AGENTS.md, GOVERNANCE.md) and GitHub check-run conclusions into machine-checked rules. No control, source or catalog change; no control IDs touched.
Scope, applicability and risk
New files: schemas/receipts/, ges/receipts.py, tests/test_receipts.py, tests/fixtures/receipts/, .github/actions/inject-agent-receipt/, docs/agent-verification-receipts.md; small edits to ges/__main__.py, README, CHANGELOG. No workflow is added or activated, no required check or ruleset changes, no consumer onboarding. The action refuses pull_request_target, needs a caller-granted pull-requests: write, and has no third-party uses:.
Verification commands and observed evidence
Run locally on this branch head, one at a time (Python 3.15.2, PyYAML 6.0.3 venv):
python -m unittest discover -s tests: Ran 719 tests, OK, exit 0 (33 are new in tests/test_receipts.py)
python -m ges compile: exit 0; git diff --exit-code on the three generated files: exit 0
actionlint on a caller workflow using the action: exit 0
Action shell step exercised against a stub gh (success, idempotent re-run, stale head, invalid receipt, pull_request_target, read-only token, unconfirmed write)
Not observed: a run on GitHub-hosted runners against a real PR; the real gh api -F body=@file write path.
Source coverage and unresolved limitations
Structural plus internal-consistency validation only: a receipt does not authenticate the agent or any named human, and cannot prove commands ran. Concurrent edits to the PR description between read and write can still be lost; the action detects loss of the receipt itself, not other text. These are stated in the doc.
Rollback and rollout
Status: Staged. Not Verified (needs merged-main CI and owner acceptance per AGENTS.md). Rollback is a revert; nothing consumes the schema yet.
Canonical controls and generated outputs agree.
Positive, negative and unavailable-evidence cases are tested.
No semantic review, native enforcement or public release is implied without evidence.
This PR adds the ges.agent-verification-receipt.v1 schema and validator, receipt CLI commands for pull request bodies, and a composite GitHub Action that injects and verifies a receipt. It also adds fixtures, tests, and documentation.
Changes: Agent Verification Receipts
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Receipt contract and validation schemas/receipts/agent-verification-receipt.v1.json, ges/receipts.py, tests/fixtures/receipts/*, tests/test_receipts.py
Defines receipt fields and constraints. The validator checks structure, cross-field rules, and content-derived identity. Fixtures and tests cover valid and invalid cases.
Receipt CLI and PR-body utilities ges/__main__.py, ges/receipts.py, tests/test_receipts.py
Adds CLI commands for validation, sealing, rendering, injection, and extraction. PR-body operations validate marker blocks, enforce a size limit, and check receipt binding.
GitHub Action integration and documentation .github/actions/inject-agent-receipt/action.yml, docs/agent-verification-receipts.md, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, tests/test_receipts.py
Adds an action that validates a receipt, checks its pull request binding, updates the pull request body, and verifies the updated body. Adds documentation and action tests. The changelog states that this change does not alter required checks or rulesets.

This adds a receipt schema, validator and PR-body action that nothing consumes yet. Two small gaps remain. A push during the action's run could leave a receipt for an older commit reported as success. Library callers get an exception instead of an error list for impossible dates. Both are easy to fix, and the change is easy to revert.

The title names the main change: a new agent verification receipt schema, validator, fixtures, and a PR-body composite action. It matches the changeset and the PR objectives. The title is long at 79 characters, but it stays specific and descriptive.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It fills in Intent and control/source IDs, Scope, applicability and risk, Verification commands and observed evidence, Source coverage and unresolved limitations, and Rollback and rollout. It states the scope, the local verification run, the unobserved paths (GitHub-hosted run, real gh write path), the limitations, and the Staged status. The template checklist items are ticked. The description does not add a template-specific control ID list beyond stating none are touched, which is acceptable.

Require merged-commit verification checks for VERIFIED claims
A receipt containing only one unrelated passing command, such as true, is accepted as VERIFIED when merge evidence and acceptance are present—even if that check finished before the merge. I reproduced this by modifying and resealing the valid verified fixture; validate_receipt returned no errors. Checking only the derived overall_status therefore promotes incomplete branch evidence to the repository's strongest verification claim. Require the six mandatory verification commands and evidence scoped to the merged commit before permitting VERIFIED; this is an internal evidence-completeness requirement, independent of authenticating the producer.

Accepted in part (2f3d902). Accepted: VERIFIED was only gated on the derived overall status. It now also requires a non-empty declared required_checks set (every declared name must have a recorded result in any receipt), and every check must start at or after merged_at so the evidence was observed on the merged commit. Rejected: hard-coding the six AGENTS.md commands in the schema. That list is repository policy, not receipt semantics, and the file does not enumerate it; the receipt carries the producer's declared set and a reviewer or caller policy judges it. Documented as such.

Recheck receipt binding against the post-write PR head
If another commit is pushed between the initial PR fetch and the body update, the action embeds evidence for the old head and still reports success. The post-write response already contains the new head, but extract --pr-json only reads its body and --expect-id only compares receipt identities; neither repeats check_binding. Validate the receipt against the head in after.json before publishing the successful output so this race fails visibly rather than presenting stale evidence as current.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Accepted (2f3d902). The post-write verification now passes --repository and --pull-request to extract, which re-runs the head binding against the head in the re-read PR response. A push during the update fails the step with a visible error; covered by test_head_moving_during_the_update_fails_visibly.
Isolate the VERIFIED overall-status rule in verified-with-incomplete-checks.
This fixture keeps every check at PASS and changes only overall_status to INCOMPLETE. The validator reports derived status is PASS for it. While the guard at ges/receipts.py:239 is present, it also reports VERIFIED requires overall_status PASS. expected-errors.json records only the first message. Removing the guard therefore leaves this fixture passing, and no other fixture checks that guard's message.
Build this case from incomplete(), so its checks derive INCOMPLETE. Add the VERIFIED claim with the merge_evidence and acceptance values from verified(), and keep overall_status at INCOMPLETE. The only expected error becomes VERIFIED requires overall_status PASS. Update the case's entry in expected-errors.json to that message.

Update the `verified-with-incomplete-checks` fixture in `generate.py` to start from `incomplete()`, then add the `VERIFIED` claim using the `merge_evidence` and `acceptance` values from `verified()`, while keeping `overall_status` as `INCOMPLETE`. Ensure its only expected validation error is `VERIFIED requires overall_status PASS`, and update the fixture’s entry in `expected-errors.json` accordingly.

reject the extracted receipt if subject.head_sha differs from that head;
preserve the existing extraction behavior otherwise.

Restrict calendar validation to timestamp fields
When a free-text field contains an invalid timestamp as observed data, this recursive scan rejects an otherwise valid receipt. For example, setting a valid fixture's checks[0].observation to 2026-02-30T10:05:00Z and resealing it produces $.checks[0].observation: impossible calendar date or time. An agent recording an invalid-date test input therefore cannot seal or publish its evidence, even though observation has no timestamp constraint. Apply calendar validation only to fields defined by the schema's timestamp type, rather than every matching string.
