artifact/1: a dated public commitment to content nobody can read yet. Existence precedes discovery.
version 0.1.0 · audit of 2026-10-04 · source: flashyos/packages/artifact
npm i @flashyos/artifactAn artifact sealed today is provably older than the day somebody opens it, and no amount of later effort manufactures that gap. The format seals a digest and a date in public and keeps the content private until its author chooses to reveal it; the reveal is checked against the commitment, never taken on faith.
Edge cases — each one paid for once
A commitment is only as good as the reveal that can be checked against it
The sealed digest and the revealed bytes must hash through the same canonicalisation, or a true reveal fails and a forged one could pass. Sealing rules are shared across the estate and never restated, and the verifier is pinned to the sealer by test — the same discipline receipts and settlements already carry.
