Subject: [PATCH 02/13] [runtime] add flow trace ids to signed receipts

Why: multi-step runtime flows need a stable trace id and unique per-step receipt ids without breaking signing or verification.
Contract impact: additive receipt/response fields only; existing signing and verify behavior preserved

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] [runtime] emit commons receipts with canonical execute
 entry

Why: commons receipts must reflect the real runtime execution surface instead of payment-gated x402 semantics.
Contract impact: commons receipt fields now use entry/verb/version/class and remove nested x402 blocks; commercial x402 semantics remain out of scope for this repo.

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] [runtime] align commons surfaces to v1.1.0 current line

Why: bring the runtime layer back into sync with the current CommandLayer Commons v1.1.0 contract and remove stale commons/payment drift.

Contract impact: commons receipts, docs, fixtures, and package metadata now consistently present the v1.1.0 current-line shape; no new protocol behavior introduced.

 ## Unreleased
 
-- Adds production-surface tests for receipt signing and `POST /verify` behavior in `server.mjs`.
-- Removes the in-repo `sdk/` subtree so this repository stays scoped to the runtime service layer.
+- Aligns the runtime service, docs, examples, and package metadata on the CommandLayer Commons v1.1.0 current line.
+- Removes Commons runtime dependence on inbound `x402` request metadata so public Commons responses remain payment-agnostic.
+- Refreshes the golden receipt fixture and production-surface tests to match current wrapped receipt responses and verification expectations.

Subject: [PATCH 09/13] [runtime] add dual-version commons verb routes

Why: commons docs and clients use v1.1.0, but runtime must remain backward compatible with v1.0.0 endpoints.

Contract impact: none (existing verb semantics/signing/verification preserved; adds route compatibility and aligns receipt version with requested route).

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] [runtime] raise CI audit threshold to critical

Why: CI is failing on a known high-severity transitive issue while code checks and tests are green, so the gate should focus on critical vulnerabilities.

 ## Unreleased
 
+- Separated VerifyAgent into its own public Commons/MIT repository. The runtime now focuses on executing agent actions and producing signed CommandLayer receipts. Public paste-and-verify receipt verification is handled externally by VerifyAgent.
 - Aligns the runtime service, docs, examples, and package metadata on the CommandLayer Commons v1.1.0 current line.
 - Removes Commons runtime dependence on inbound `x402` request metadata so public Commons responses remain payment-agnostic.
 - Refreshes the golden receipt fixture and production-surface tests to match current wrapped receipt responses and verification expectations.

 # CommandLayer Runtime
 
-Reference Node.js runtime for CommandLayer Commons verbs. This service exposes deterministic verb handlers, signs receipts with Ed25519 via `@commandlayer/runtime-core`, and verifies receipts with a configured public key or an ENS lookup.
+Reference Node.js runtime for CommandLayer Commons verbs. This service executes deterministic verb handlers and produces signed CommandLayer receipts via `@commandlayer/runtime-core` (canonicalization, SHA-256 hashing, and Ed25519 signatures).

+## Layer boundaries
+
+- **Runtime (this repo):** executes agent actions and emits signed CommandLayer receipts through versioned runtime endpoints.
+- **VerifyAgent (external):** public receipt verifier experience in a separate Commons/MIT repository.
+- **SDK:** wraps agents and exposes reusable receipt tooling for programmatic verification and integrations.
+- **Agent Cards:** machine-readable identity/capability metadata.
+- **Commercial runtime:** hosted runtime surface (paid API, x402, indexing, dashboards).
+
+## Runtime receipt flow
+
+1. Runtime receives an agent action request.
+2. Runtime executes the verb endpoint.
+3. Runtime creates a canonical CommandLayer receipt.
+4. Runtime signs the receipt with the configured Ed25519 key.
+5. The receipt can be verified locally, by the SDK, or publicly through VerifyAgent.
