## What Comprehensive NIP-FI against `main`: one normative core plus four separately claimable profiles, replacing the single-document structure of #3726 (which was based on #1485's branch, not `main`). Six documents, 1,975 lines, docs only. - **`NIP-FI.md` (core, 632 lines)** — issuer-qualified identity `(iss, sub)`, independent Nostr proof, client-attached assertion, partial bijection with durable tombstones, atomic final admission, bounded leases, private denials with a closed response vocabulary, retire/revoke/rotate, two contract identities (`assertion_policy_id`, `transport_contract_id`), per-policy `skew` / `maximum_assertion_age` / `maximum_status_age` with missing configuration denying, a closed token-class rule (`at+jwt`, `nip-fi+jwt`, named compatibility; ID tokens always deny), declared freshness class (`offline-jwt` | `current-status`), server-declared body authorization relevance (NIP-98 payload-binding fix, including a `payload` tag on an irrelevant-body operation), BCP 14, "equivalent" defined over identity / bounds / provenance classes, a compact non-normative worked wire example, and a non-normative comparison with DPoP, mTLS-bound tokens, and HTTP Message Signatures. FI-INV-01..16 are normative core text. The behavioral-oracle table lists exactly 30 oracle IDs, one per row, with no shorthand. - **`NIP-FI-EDGE.md`** — trusted-edge surface: the `trusted-proxy-hmac-v2` envelope + canonicalization, or a private authenticated-edge adapter under a reviewed contract; `authorization_domain_id` derivation (exact 16 RFC 9562 UUID bytes); `proof_transport_code` registry (0x01 NIP-42, 0x02 NIP-98; 0x03 Git smart-HTTP and 0x04 Blossom reserved pending their transport contracts; 0x05–0x7f unassigned pending published stable specifications) + extension procedure; body-acquisition bounds; three normative test vectors. An independent Nostr proof (the NIP-98 event in `Authorization`, which reaches the verifier byte-identical, or the NIP-42 event after connect) is the only decision input outside the MAC; absent or incomplete provenance on an edge-required route is `missing_evidence`, present-but-failing provenance is `evidence_rejected`. Header-trust-without-provenance is nonconformant. - **`NIP-FI-LIFECYCLE.md`** — provision / disable / re-enable / administrative expiry (`binding_not_after`) / pending-replacement lineage, one conformance trace per privileged transition; every binding-creating transition declares whether it continues or establishes a grant; a private-condition table for CONF enumeration agreement. - **`NIP-FI-DELEG.md`** — delegated agents; explicit temporal boundaries matching core's inclusive-`nbf`/exclusive-`exp` idiom, with the delegated `skew` configured by this profile; lease deadline anchored to the lease issue instant; strict path separation — a delegated request carries no assertion or provenance field, so it cannot traverse an edge-provenance route and uses ingress on which NIP-FI-EDGE is not required. - **`NIP-FI-CONF.md`** — conformance evidence: an immutable claim tuple including the governing document revision and exit fixture digest; the complete 16-row denial-fixture enumeration with three mechanical enumeration-agreement checks; mutation adequacy with a countable denominator — one retained killed mutant per literal oracle-table row (30 core + 6 EDGE + 11 LIFECYCLE + 7 DELEG + 4 CONF = 58), rows selected structurally by their first cell, never by section title, with the release gate and CONF's own oracle rows stated in the same listed-oracle terms and a mutant defined for CONF's own report- and suite-subject oracles; an interoperability exit test compared over signing inputs (per-transport NIP-01 serialization for the NIP-98 and NIP-42 proofs; decoded protected header and claims as JSON values for the assertion), with a shared exit fixture pinning complete pre-signature header/claim JSON and complete unsigned event fields for both transports, and mandatory negative controls. `FI-CONF-INTEROP-EXIT` is `deferred` with reason `no-independent-implementation` until a second independent implementation exists; the canonical fixture is editor-authored at `docs/nips/fixtures/nip-fi-conf-exit.json` and is **not in this PR** — until it is published a claim records `pending-canonical-fixture`, valid only while the exit test is deferred. Explicit not-applicable dispositions, including `offline-jwt` deployments for the two current-status oracles and absence of a revocation-bounded external capability projection for `FI-TRACE-CAPABILITY-REVOCATION`. - **`NIP-FI-MODEL.md`** — non-normative companion; defines no requirement or conformance claim and is not claimable. ## Why The prior draft rated 9 (soundness) / 6 (minimalness) / 7 (elegance) / 7 (correctness) in adversarial + comparative review. This restructure keeps the two-invariant spine untouched, makes everything else a claimable profile, and collapses five stacked versioning mechanisms into two contract identities. Mutation adequacy counts one mutant per literal oracle-table row — a set two implementers enumerate identically — instead of "each normative requirement," which had four defensible readings. Resolved product calls (owner-approved): 1. Enrollment/denial posture is private — boolean enrollment discovery, TOFU extension claim not self-advertised, `key_mismatch → authorization_denied` joins the denial anonymity set, and replayed evidence is classed `authorization_denied` so resubmission reveals nothing about commit. 2. Revocation honesty — only `current-status` deployments may advertise an unconditional residual-revocation bound; `offline-jwt` advertises unbounded/unknown. Access tokens keep RFC 9068 `at+jwt`; `nip-fi+jwt` is reserved for a separately minted Buzz assertion. ## Acceptance bar - Nothing in core is deletable without losing a stated core guarantee. - From the core document plus the CONF exit fixture, a second implementer can produce a valid request equal over the request compared object (signing inputs), and a byte-exact public denial per class — no reference implementation. - Every oracle-table row ships a retained killed mutant satisfying only the entry it was selected for. - Both deployment profiles (trusted proxy = EDGE, client-held OIDC = core client-attached) pass the same lifecycle conformance suite. ## Status Ready at heade720a5cda. Every revision below is on this branch: the 2026-08-17 and 2026-08-18 review laps (Wren, Dawn, Perci, Sami, Mari, Quinn) closed at513e03b06,17d455a9b, and 4f913a813; the 2026-08-20 external line-by-line review (R1–R10, R12) closed across 56e74141e..772ba7a72; the 2026-08-20/21 adversarial lap (#6437) squash-merged as b8db13d88; the round-3 external review (R13, R14), the DELEG×EDGE composition note, and three terminology nits closed at e720a5cda; R11 is this description. Oracle census: 58 (30 core, 6 EDGE, 11 LIFECYCLE, 7 DELEG, 4 CONF). Known follow-ups, filed after merge and out of scope here: adapter-only edge deployments and FI-EDGE claimability; an EDGE private-condition table for CONF's enumeration-agreement check; an enumerable definition of the positive/negative oracle sets used by the global mutation controls; NIP-OA's clock-free verification versus NIP-FI-DELEG's wall-clock expiry. Supersedes #3726 as the spec vehicle; #1485 remains the design-history anchor. --------- Signed-off-by: Eva <011987e296fd5006292d2f930b574be47c7801048d1983c46c425d3c95f0cffd@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Signed-off-by: Max <d8473ee32b973aa31a21a65adddcc4b69cc2a8a4dee8121ecd51926e0cddbc02@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Signed-off-by: Perci <5a968df9a7494b4e019b9ecf739e088ba61097b4312124e9a88ae5b42e3f5f3e@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Signed-off-by: Wren <5217c5c2f7bfb4333e46d17c98a9255a52dadee18dcd43a43536b95e6776dfa0@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Signed-off-by: Dawn <c6237ef84fa537c78dcee78efd2d4e59f728859c7f194da42ac51ededfa0be05@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Signed-off-by: Tyler Longwell <tlongwell@squareup.com> Signed-off-by: Meli <5aaa86bce934fc3445fc254aab560a40923f10252f92107e665073dede0e04d3@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Eva <011987e296fd5006292d2f930b574be47c7801048d1983c46c425d3c95f0cffd@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Max <d8473ee32b973aa31a21a65adddcc4b69cc2a8a4dee8121ecd51926e0cddbc02@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Perci <5a968df9a7494b4e019b9ecf739e088ba61097b4312124e9a88ae5b42e3f5f3e@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Wren <5217c5c2f7bfb4333e46d17c98a9255a52dadee18dcd43a43536b95e6776dfa0@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Dawn <c6237ef84fa537c78dcee78efd2d4e59f728859c7f194da42ac51ededfa0be05@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz> Co-authored-by: Meli <5aaa86bce934fc3445fc254aab560a40923f10252f92107e665073dede0e04d3@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>
