Stage290: Verification URL UI

Overview

Stage290 transforms the Stage289 Verification API into a human-friendly verification URL interface.

Users can input a URL and a manifest, then receive:

• Decision (accept / pending / reject)
• Trust score
• Trust breakdown (Integrity / Execution / Identity / Time)
• Verification ID
• Timestamp
• Shareable result URL

This stage converts:

Verification API → Verification Experience

---

Key Features

1. Human-Friendly Verification UI

No terminal or JSON parsing required.

2. Shareable Verification Result

Each verification produces a unique:

• Verification ID
• Timestamp
• Public result URL

Example:

https://stage290.onrender.com/result/ <verification_id>

---

3. Trust Model Visualization

The system evaluates:

• Integrity (hash / evidence)
• Execution (workflow / CI)
• Identity (signer / key)
• Time (timestamp / reproducibility)

Final decision:

• ACCEPT
• PENDING
• REJECT

---

4. Fail-Closed Design

If verification is incomplete or invalid:

→ system does NOT accept
→ explicit reject or pending

---

Architecture

User (Browser) ↓ Stage290 UI ↓ Stage289 Verification API ↓ Decision + Evidence ↓ Human-readable result page

---

API Dependency

This stage depends on:

Stage289 Verification API

POST /verify

---

Example Flow

1. Enter URL + manifest
2. Click "Verify"
3. System calls Stage289 API
4. Result page generated
5. Shareable URL issued

---

Why This Matters

Previous stages proved:

• verification
• reproducibility
• public exposure

Stage290 adds:

• usability
• accessibility
• shareability

This is the step from:

Technical validation → Product experience

---

Limitations (Important)

Current implementation:

• Results stored in memory (temporary)
• May reset on server restart

Next stage:

Stage291 → Persistent verification records
