Governed vs. Ungoverned Demo Comparison. Production surfaces (/api/chat/stream, /api/tve/governed-generate) are always fully governed and have no off switch. A dedicated demo-only comparison surface (/cognitive-demo, served by /api/chat/demo) can run a request with the deterministic gate and policy enforcement disabled — purely to illustrate, side by side, the difference governance makes for evaluation and sales contexts.

Seven additional modules added: Continuous Trust (RTI scoring), Charter Trigger Engine (event-driven charter enforcement), Workload Identity (SPIFFE-style), Quarantine Manager (isolates compromised subsystems), Runtime Integrity (ongoing binary + config verification), Deployment Certificate (signed deploy attestation), and Forensic Replay. EVE CoreGuard expanded: 13 → 24 files, 5,694 → 9,038 lines.

Completed Decision Evidence Infrastructure & Product Expansion
Jun 11, 2026
Verifiable Quorum Certificates. CoreGuard’s distributed-trust quorum emits Ed25519-signed QuorumCertificates bundling every signed vote with its voter public key — consensus transcripts replay offline with public keys only.
Jun 12, 2026
Durable Decision Store + Evidence Log. Governance verdicts persist to a queryable PostgreSQL system-of-record with policy-hash binding (charter hash + policy version folded into the signed payload), an S3 WORM archival tier, a tenant-scoped retrieval API, and an Evidence Log console.
Jun 12, 2026
Buyer SDKs published to PyPI. eve-coreguard, eve-proof, evecore, and eve-governance ship genuine offline Ed25519 evidence verification — customers verify signed decision records without contacting EVE.
Jun 2026
Per-Decision Merkle Chain + Deterministic Replay. Every CoreGuard decision records its hash-chain position in an RFC 6962-style transparency log; the replay engine reproduces past decisions and reports MATCH or DIVERGED with policy-version drift detection.
Jun 18, 2026
EVE Agent Infrastructure launched. Per-action signed Decision Certificates for autonomous agents — propose → govern → execute → certify lifecycle, per-org hash-chained certificate ledgers, and a public verify-it-yourself surface at /agent-proof with in-browser Ed25519 verification.

Fully asymmetric proof chain in production. Per-decision certificates, the unified audit bus, and published Merkle roots all sign with Ed25519 — the entire audit chain verifies against the public key served at /.well-known/eve-pubkey, no shared secret required.
Jul 7, 2026
EVE Company OS. 31 governed department agents across 13 departments run EVE’s own operations under the same policy engine — every agent action receives a governance verdict with signed evidence, and approval authority remains human-only.
Jul 2026
Assurance tiers + external witnessing. The eve.assurance.v1 certificate vocabulary encodes attester identity and a derived assurance tier (self-issued < externally witnessed < independently evaluated); published Merkle roots can be witnessed in an external Sigstore/Rekor transparency log (eve-witness-v1).
Jul 14, 2026
EVE Trust Services announced. Third product line alongside EVE CoreGuard and EVE Proof: independent trust infrastructure that preserves, witnesses, and verifies governance evidence across models, agents, providers, and time — external witnessing, evidence custody, inclusion proofs, key-lifecycle continuity, and deterministic replay. Live at /trust-services with Coming Soon status.
Jul 15, 2026
EVE Trust Services foundation ships — controlled preview. Hosted verifier API with structured valid / invalid / indeterminate results, inclusion-proof and coverage APIs, signed custody manifests, signing-key registry with revocation, provider-neutral external witnessing (preview; disabled by default), eve-coreguard 0.2.0 on PyPI with offline RFC 8785 trust-artifact verification, plus draft Trust Service Criteria for AI Decision Evidence and SR 11-7 independent-validation mapping.
