Codex 1e4a11e486 sdk(P1.6): client-side head tracking — your SDK is a fork detector
Completes the verification chain (P1.2 -> P1.1 -> P1.3 -> P1.6). The client
remembers the last accepted (seq_no, event_hash) per stream and checks every
new receipt links forward; if the server rewinds a sequence number or presents
a divergent lineage, log_event / log_events raise AttestoForkDetected (Go:
*ForkDetectedError) and the stored head is NOT advanced. The customer's own
machine becomes the fork detector — no trust in any Attesto-side check.

- Python: HeadStore protocol + FileHeadStore (~/.attesto/heads.json, atomic,
  0600, default) + MemoryHeadStore; wired into sync and async v2 clients;
  head_store=None disables.
- TypeScript: HeadStore + MemoryHeadStore (default, edge-safe); Node-only
  FileHeadStore kept in a separate module (@attesto/sdk/heads-file) so the core
  bundle imports no node:fs; headStore: null disables.
- Go: HeadStore interface + MemoryHeadStore (default) + NewFileHeadStore;
  WithHeadStore option; WithHeadStore(nil) disables.

Same forward/rewind/divergence/gap semantics across all three (unit-tested:
in-order advance, forged-rewind fork, divergent-next fork, forward-gap accept,
file-store restart persistence). Existing v2 client tests pin head_store=None
(they replay overlapping seq). READMEs gain a "Your SDK is a witness" section.

# Attesto Go SDK
Official Go SDK for Attesto 2.0 Proofstream. The default API base URL is
`https://verify.attesto.eu`. Use it from server-side, infrastructure, security
tooling, CI, evidence exporters, and operator automation. Do not embed Attesto API keys in browser bundles, mobile apps, or public artifacts.
## Install
```shell
go get git.rotz.ai/rotzmediagroup/attesto-v1/sdk/go
```
The first release is VCS-resolved from the Attesto repository. It intentionally
uses only the Go standard library.
## Quickstart
```go
package main
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"log"
"os"
"time"
attesto "git.rotz.ai/rotzmediagroup/attesto-v1/sdk/go"
)
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
client, err := attesto.NewClient(os.Getenv("ATTESTO_API_KEY"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
stream, err := client.CreateStream(ctx, attesto.StreamCreateInput{
UseCase: "ai-governance",
PolicyID: "policy-main",
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
receipt, err := client.LogEvent(ctx, stream.StreamID, attesto.EventInput{
SourceRef: "decision-42",
OccurredAt: time.Now().UTC().Format(time.RFC3339Nano),
Payload: attesto.M{
"model": "risk-classifier",
"score": 0.92,
},
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Println(receipt.StreamEventID, receipt.EventHash)
}
```
Attesto stores source-system time separately from backend ingest time.
`OccurredAt` must be RFC3339 with a timezone offset. The Go SDK fills it with
`time.Now().UTC()` when omitted, but production integrations should pass the
real upstream event timestamp whenever the source system provides one.
## Committed payload number rule
When events are committed to a Proofstream, payload and metadata numbers must
serialize identically across Python, Go, and JavaScript. Non-integer numbers
and integers beyond ±(2^531) are rejected at ingestion (HTTP 422); encode
decimals and large integers as strings (e.g. `{"score": "0.87"}`). This keeps
cross-language commitment recomputation byte-exact (`CanonicalJSON`).
The SDK enforces the same rule **locally** before sending, so you see it at dev
time rather than as a production 422. `LogEvent` / `LogEvents` return an
`*UnsafeNumberError` (with `.Path`, the JSON path to the offending value). Set
`RequestOptions{SkipPreflight: true}` to defer to the server.
```go
// Commitment a Proofstream stores for a payload, byte-identical to the server
// (and to the Python / TypeScript SDKs):
commitment, _ := attesto.PayloadCommitment(map[string]any{"decision": "approve", "score_bp": 8700})
// commitment["canonical_payload_hash"] == server's stored hash
ok, _ := attesto.VerifyPayloadCommitment(myPayload, event) // recompute and compare
```
## Verification
Remote verification uses Attesto's public `/v2/verify` API. Offline receipt
verification uses `ATTESTO-PROOFSTREAM-001` canonical JSON, domain-separated
hashes, and Ed25519 signature verification locally.
```go
report := attesto.VerifyReceiptOffline(receipt.Receipt, publicKeyHex)
if !report.OK {
log.Fatalf("receipt failed verification: %v", report.Problems)
}
```
The offline trust model extends across the whole proof chain — all client-side:
```go
ok, _ := attesto.VerifyInclusionProof(leafHash, proof, windowRoot) // event in a window root
ok, _ = attesto.VerifyCheckpointRoot(windowHashes, checkpointRoot) // windows fold to checkpoint root
ext := attesto.VerifyCheckpointExtension(previous, current) // one checkpoint continues the previous
comp := attesto.VerifyCompleteness(events, 5, 8) // no events omitted in [5, 8]
```
`VerifyCompleteness` proves **no events were omitted** in a range: the sequence
numbers must be gap-free and each event's `prev_event_hash` must chain to the
previous event's `event_hash`.
## Your SDK is a witness
The client remembers the last accepted `(seqNo, eventHash)` per stream and checks
every new receipt links forward. If the server ever rewinds a sequence number or
presents a divergent lineage, `LogEvent` / `LogEvents` return a
`*ForkDetectedError` and the stored head is not advanced. The default store is
in-memory; use a file store for fork detection across process invocations, or
disable it.
```go
// Persist across CLI invocations (atomic, 0600 at ~/.attesto/heads.json):
client, _ := attesto.NewClient(apiKey, attesto.WithHeadStore(attesto.NewFileHeadStore("")))
// Disable fork detection:
client, _ = attesto.NewClient(apiKey, attesto.WithHeadStore(nil))
```
## Operator and Admin Endpoints
System-key clients are created with `attesto.NewClient`. Tenant/operator
endpoints, including connector installation and Local Vault installation
management, use `attesto.NewBearerClient` with a tenant bearer token obtained
from the dashboard session flow.
Secrets returned once by connector creation are present only in the returned
struct and are never logged by the SDK.
