Context Cost
This is the approximate number of tokens consumed each time the server's tools are loaded into a model's context. Higher counts reduce the attention available for other tasks.

}🟢verify_receipt(receipt)
Recompute every hash chain a bernstein run receipt embeds (journal, lineage spine, optional audit range), rebuild the signed subject from the recomputed heads, and check the Ed25519 signature with the key the receipt carries. Needs no secret and reads nothing but the receipt. Returns the verdict, the first failing check, one line per check, and the same verdict as a DSSE envelope signed by this verifier's Ed25519 key (public key at keys_url) so the outcome can be kept and re-checked offline.

}⚪verify_chain(entries, kind)
Walk bernstein chain rows and recompute every link: journal rows (event_hash), lineage spine entries (entry_hash) or audit events (prev_hmac linkage). The row kind is detected from the fields, or pass `kind` explicitly. Reports the first divergent index. Pass `entries` as the file text (a JSON array or one row per line, as journal.jsonl is written) for byte-exact hashing; a parsed array also works, but then a float spelled 1.0 or -0.0 in the file cannot be told apart from an integer.

}⚪verify_trace_record(record)
TRACE v0.2 conformance checks on one Trust Record, stateless, no account: schema (vendored trace-claim.json), profile, subject URI, software-only runtime rule, policy digest, public-only confirmation key, the embedded signature (EdDSA, ES256 or ES384 with the key in cnf.jwk), appraisal, delegation link shape and references. Nothing is fetched: resolvers are checked as URIs only. `record_sha256` is the RFC 8785 digest of the complete record, signature included — the value a child hop puts in delegation.parent_record_hash.

}🟢explain_trace_mapping(receipt)
How a bernstein run maps onto a TRACE v0.2 Trust Record: one row per claim with the journal field it is sourced from and the rule that derives it. Pass a run receipt to fill in the rows its embedded journal can answer (subject, iat, model, data_class, policy digest, tool transcript) alongside the receipt's own verdict.
