Take a conversation's evidence with you

Documented Checked against the CLI's current help and source. Not run end to end. CLI 0.4.0, checked 2026-11-05.

Can I hand someone the proof, and can they check it without us?

Export the evidence behind a conversation as one signed file. Anyone can verify it offline, and a single changed byte fails the check.

What you get: a file you can give an auditor or a customer, which proves what Quox did in one conversation without them needing access to your Quox. You need: a signed-in profile. About 4 minutes.

Leave the id out of the next step and the bundle covers your newest chat conversation.

bundle
quox evidence bundle QXC_b57d1400-0530-47b3-96f2-929e05ac146d --out weekly-report.zipEvidence bundle written: ~/weekly-report.zipconversation QXC_b57d1400-0530-47b3-96f2-929e05ac146d | 30 envelopes | 18 WARD receipts | 16874 bytesverify offline: quox evidence verify ~/weekly-report.zip
From a real run on the demo profile. Home folder path shortened.

The zip holds the conversation’s AEE envelopes (as JSON and CSV), its WARD receipts, its VOLT run, a manifest of every file’s hash, and an Ed25519 signature over the manifest. It covers your own organisation and this one conversation only. Without --out it goes to ~/quox-evidence/.

Any zip tool opens it. The six tool calls in that conversation show up as six of each tool envelope: the run starting, the tool executing, the tool’s result and the run completing.

From a real run on the demo profile.

Verifying needs no network: it reads only the file.

We changed one word in envelopes.csv inside a copy of the zip, then checked the copy:

From a real run on the demo profile.

The check names the file that changed, and the command exits with code 1, so a script can stop on it. Add --json to either command for a machine-readable result.

The bundle is a read of records your Quox had already written while the conversation ran: nothing was re-run to make it. The signature binds the manifest, and the manifest binds each file by its hash, so the zip can travel by email or a shared drive and still be checked.

Anyone with the quox CLI can run quox evidence verify on their copy of the zip. The signing key it names is the one to compare.
