library
Classes
-
ConsentSubject
-
The platform-agnostic identifier of WHAT is being consented to: one conversation,
for one agent.
-
Payload
-
A bridge asks the VTA whether an inbound conversation may reach an AI agent,
prompting operator consent on first contact.
-
Response
-
Synchronous ack from the VTA: a prompt was routed (accepted) or the request was
refused. The actual decision arrives out-of-band as a consent/decision.
Extension Types
-
Kind
-
The interaction kind: a 1:1 direct message, a multi-party group, or a broadcast
channel.
-
ResponseStatus
-
accepted = a pending consent was minted and an approval prompt routed. refused
= not actionable; reason MUST be set.
-
Scope
-
What the agent may do:
receive = read inbound on this conversation; converse =
read and reply.
Typedefs
-
DigestMultibase
= String
-
A cryptographic digest as a multibase-encoded multihash — the encoding the W3C
Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0 defines for
digestMultibase, and the one
did:webvh uses for its SCID and entry hashes. Multihash carries the hash
algorithm in-band, so the value is self-describing and the wire format survives an
algorithm change without a schema revision; multibase does the same for the base
encoding, so a verifier never infers base58 from base64url by context. A bare hex
string or a sha-256:-style prefix hard-codes one algorithm into the wire contract
and is non-conforming here. This definition constrains the encoding only. What
the digest is computed over is stated by each referencing field, because it differs
legitimately: a digest over a JSON document is taken over its RFC 8785 (JCS)
canonicalization, while a digest over an opaque artifact is taken over its bytes. A
field whose input is a JSON document and which does not name a canonicalization is
not reproducible. Restricted to the two multibase headers W3C Controlled
Identifiers 1.0 §2.4 normatively requires — z (base58btc) and u
(base64url-no-pad). CID permits others but states that "interoperability is not
guaranteed between implementations using such values", and a registry whose purpose
is interoperability should not mint digests a conforming verifier may be unable to
read. The alphabets are enforced rather than assumed: base58btc excludes 0, O, I
and l, and an earlier permissive pattern let three published examples carry digests
that were not valid base58 at all. base58btc is RECOMMENDED, for consistency with
did:key and did:webvh.

Ext
= Map<String, dynamic>
-
Vendor-namespaced extension object per SPEC.md §4.5.1. Each immediate key MUST be a
reverse-DNS namespace; structure under each namespace is opaque to the framework.
