Test vectors

Seed conformance vectors cover signing, HTTP signatures, manifest checks, runtime behavior, scopes, extensions, and MUST coverage.

The canonical conformance seed data lives in the protocol repository under test-vectors/. These vectors cover signing, HTTP signatures, manifest checks, runtime behavior, scope matching, extension handling, and MUST coverage.

Use them as executable evidence for implementations and as fixtures for future conformance harnesses. From the ajar repo, run:

make validate

The same validation command checks the schemas and golden examples used by the vectors.

Schemas

JSON Schemas define the machine-readable shape of Ajar manifests, views, actions, mandates, offers, receipts, policies, errors, and simulations.
