What changed
@callumalpass/mdbase-testbedwith a shell-free process runner, a real reference adapter, exact transcript comparison, useful first-difference diagnostics, and digest-bound evidence.testbed_transcriptevidence and documents the authority boundary.Why
The normative fixtures prove individual requirements, but ecosystem implementations also need comparable observable evidence across languages and product boundaries. The adapter boundary lets implementations keep their own architecture while testing the same contract, multicast, provider-resolution, validation, replay, recovery, and fencing behavior.
Developer and user impact
Implementers can add two process commands (
describeandrun) and exercise the suite without linking to a particular language runtime. Users can inspect neutral JSON scenarios and attach portable transcript evidence to a conformance claim. Passing never grants authority and does not replace a complete profile claim.Validation
