Commit the previously-untracked standard directories and catalog them in the
root README alongside proof:
- aac/ — communication cargo class: portable boards + a ten-level
offline-first cascade (Apache-2.0 code / CC-BY-4.0 spec).
- map/ — geospatial cargo class: range-requestable signed tilesets +
an F0–F4 fidelity cascade (Apache-2.0 code / CC-BY-4.0 spec).
- sandbox/— isolated, metered, attested execution across the heterogeneous
compute fabric (Apache-2.0 code / CC-BY-4.0 spec).
- jouleclaw-otel-authz, jouleclaw-trust — new jouleclaw reference crates.
Root README now lists aac, map, sandbox, and proof in the catalog, the tree,
and the contribution guide.

The Sandbox proof matrix
The standard's claim to be a universal substrate is only worth what the proof behind it is worth. This directory holds that proof: a ledger of signed proof cells, each one a real run of the conformance pack plus a sealed workload on a real target, recording the substrate, OS, architecture, cloud, hardware classes, and tier it actually demonstrated.
A green cell is never a claim. It is an Ed25519 signature (over the cell's JCS-canonical form — the family attestation primitive) that references an attestation and receipt which themselves verify. What a host cannot prove — no /dev/kvm → no microVM tier, no configfs-tsm → no confidential tier — is recorded as unavailable, never faked. Run the harness on more targets and the matrix fills with real proofs.
The matrix axes
substrate : Wasm · Container · MicroVm · Tee · BareMetal · Browser
OS : linux · macos · windows
arch : x86_64 · aarch64 · riscv64
cloud : local · aws · azure · gcp · alibaba · cloudflare · fly · …
hardware : Cpu · Simd · Gpu · Npu · Tpu · Lpu · Photonic · Quantum
tier : S0 … S7
A cell is one point in {substrate × OS × arch × cloud × hardware × tier}. matrix.jsonl accumulates the cells that have been proved.
Producing and checking proofs
The harness is sandbox-proof:
cd ../sandbox-rs
# Prove THIS host — runs the conformance pack + a sealed S2 (WASM) run,
# probes which higher substrates are available, and appends a signed cell.
SANDBOX_CLOUD=local cargo run -p sandbox-proof -- prove ../proof/matrix.jsonl
# Re-verify every cell's signature (CI-friendly exit code).
cargo run -p sandbox-proof -- verify ../proof/matrix.jsonl
# Render the proved cells.
cargo run -p sandbox-proof -- show ../proof/matrix.jsonl
Set SANDBOX_CLOUD to the cloud/region the host runs in (e.g. aws, gcp), and SANDBOX_PROOF_KEY (64 hex) to the operator's own signing key; a fixed dev key is used otherwise.
What a cell records
Each line of matrix.jsonl is a SignedProofCell: the substrate/OS/arch/cloud/hardware/tier proved, the per-class conformance outcome, the content addresses of the run's attestation and energy receipt, the substrates the host reported available, a timestamp, and the Ed25519 signature + public key. Anyone can re-verify a cell without trusting the operator who produced it.
Honesty
The harness proves what the host can actually demonstrate. Today the universal cell is Wasm / S2, which runs anywhere the reference runtime does (Linux, macOS, Windows, any arch — and in a browser via WASM). Higher tiers (microVM, confidential) light up only on hosts that genuinely provide them. The matrix grows by running on more substrates, clouds, and accelerators — never by asserting a cell that wasn't run.
