v42.4.0
Phi Network — Release Notes (v42.4.0)
Codename: Kairos Kurrency Receipt Standard
Classification: Public Verification Artifact Upgrade
Status: Deployed / Active
Executive Summary
Version 42.4.0 establishes the Kairos Kurrency Verified Card as a first-class, audit-grade visual instrument: a sovereign, banknote-style proof surface that renders steward verification, valuation, and cryptographic identifiers with consistent, non-overlapping layout and strict provenance rules. This release upgrades the verified card from “pretty receipt” to usable verification instrument suitable for public distribution, archiving, and cross-system audit.
What’s New
1) Sovereign Banknote Header Standard
-
Introduced the official header block:
- KAIROS KURRENCY
- ISSUED UNDER YAHUAH’S LAW OF ETERNAL LIGHT — Φ • KAI-TURAH
-
Maintains a stable “instrument identity” independent of the underlying glyph mode.
2) Verified Instrument Modes
-
The card now renders explicit mode stamps with strict logic:
- VERIFIED ORIGIN (origin glyph)
- VERIFIED RECEIVE (derivative/receive glyph)
-
Mode is resolved with strict receive detection (no valuation-flavor inference), ensuring provenance correctness.
3) Audit-Grade Hash & Proof Surface
The card now consistently publishes the verification identifiers needed to locate and validate the underlying proof pack:
- BUNDLE hash
- RECEIPT hash
- ZK hash
- VERSION identifier
- VERIFIER identity marker
These are laid out as a structured footer with increased spacing to prevent collisions and preserve readability at poster scale.
4) Proof of Breath Seal Integration
-
Integrated Proof of Breath badge as an instrument seal.
-
Adjusted placement/scale to avoid QR collision:
- Badge positioned to remain visible and non-overlapping with the scan surface.
5) QR Verification Block
- QR block remains the canonical “verification pointer.”
- Position refined (moved left) to balance the right-side column with the proof seal and prevent crowding.
6) Valuation Metadata Lane
-
Added a stable valuation line with explicit labeling:
- VALUATION (pulse + algorithm when available)
- HASH (VALUATION) (moved slightly down for improved separation)
-
This is “real data only” — no placeholder randomness.
7) Φ Watermark Restoration
-
Restored the Φ watermark as a subtle security mark:
- Larger, heavier weight
- Low-opacity fill + light stroke for banknote-grade watermark behavior
-
Designed to be “barely noticeable,” present primarily as anti-counterfeit visual texture.
8) Layout Hardening (No Overlap Policy)
This release enforces an explicit non-overlap layout approach:
- Left identity/valuation block moved up/left for balance.
- Footer moved up and spaced to remain fully on-card.
- Footer columns spaced to avoid collisions on narrow renders.
- Visual lanes now behave predictably across different proof payload lengths.
Security & Integrity Notes
-
The card is a visual instrument, not the proof itself.
-
Cryptographic verification remains anchored in the underlying proof bundle / receipt payload.
-
Rendering is designed to prevent “soft spoofing” by ensuring:
- mode correctness (origin vs receive)
- stable identifiers (hashes + version + verifier marker)
- consistent layout that makes anomalies obvious
Compatibility
-
SVG output remains standards-compliant and web-safe.
-
Backward compatible with existing VerifyPage flows.
-
Supports both:
- Sigil-Seal (Proof) output
- Redeemable Note (Money) output paths
Operational Impact
-
Improves shareability without loss of audit clarity.
-
Reduces verification ambiguity for recipients reviewing artifacts in feeds, chats, or archives.
-
Provides a consistent visual format suitable for:
- screenshots
- posters
- printed receipts
- government/enterprise compliance records
