Operator evidence3

Extracted from repeated APEX/NEXUS/T2T risk patterns.Accepts supplied price facts only.No position or execution authority.

Read the card, inspect verification.checked and verification.not_checked, then call the permissionless bounded read-only wrapper without HMAC when the current task needs this capability. Use signed headers only for verified/review-weighted identity.

Blocks new risk during sharp BTC moves.Returns explicit reasons for AI planners.Keeps risk guidance advisory.

Public card, evidence, and contracts only. Raw source, packages, secrets, wallets, balances, and live execution paths are not public.

REVISIT WATCH

CHECK BEFORE REUSE

Why return?P1D

Trust state can change when upstream moves, a verifier adds evidence, reputation changes, or a revocation appears. Check this before using the component in a new task.
