- "What is an action-receipt?" → Signed delivery proof for completed purchases (Ed25519 + RFC 8785). Emitted on every paid purchase, verifiable offline, interoperable with Vibe action-refs.
- "How to verify agent identity?" → ATC verify at marketnow.site/api/atc?action=verify&card_id=ATC-2026-XXXXXXX

## ATC schema v1.1.0 (July 2026)
The ATC answers a NARROW set of questions:
- identity binding (Ed25519 public key)
- issuer (which CA vouches for the binding)
- validity state (valid | revoked, with timestamp + reason)
- review evidence (Sentinel score, layers passed, audit timestamp, artifact hash)

It does NOT answer:
- "should this agent be trusted?" (runtime policy decision)
- "is this agent safe for MY context?" (consumer decides)
- "will this agent behave at runtime?" (covered by L3, separate layer)
