30-second integration

from verificador import Verificador, Decision
v = Verificador("declaracion_agentes.json")
v.add_classifier(lambda d: d.categories)

verdict = v.verify(Decision("fire_actuator", categories=["lethal"]))
# verdict.allowed == False  -> the action is refused and sealed in a tamper-evident ledger
assert v.verify_chain()

Scope (honest)

Binds agents that adopt it (like HTTP/TLS/robots.txt). Tamper-evident and verifiable — not "unhackable". Produces auditable compliance evidence; it is not legal advice and grants no legal immunity. It never injects instructions into other models.
