# Draft WHATs for the send-manifest — from Mentat's 2026-07-05 scrub

Adopt, edit, or discard; then `sign.sh sign MANIFEST`. One honest phrase
per row is the goal — a stranger should learn what they're holding.

| file | suggested WHAT |
|------|----------------|
| .gate | access sign-post: this shelf is public by construction |
| CEREMONIES.md | the named working rituals, published so the method can be checked |
| README.md | shelf index + vouching record (NOSIG/FURNITURE listings) |
| bryant.asc | Bryant's public key, countersigned — federation peer |
| corwin-pub.zip | the shelf, zipped for one-file consumption |
| corwin-pub.zip.asc | detached signature over the zip |
| corwin.asc | Corwin's public key — the pin everything verifies against |
| hello-principles.md | first canon-traced artifact (PRINCIPLES v1.0), clearsigned |
| hello-world.md | first artifact, deliberately pre-canon, unmarked |
| sign.sh | the signing tool itself — verify, don't trust |
| sign.sh.sig | detached signature over sign.sh |
