    "answer": "The system recorded your call in a tamper-evident log, and a signed checkpoint now covers it. The final verdict is **WITNESSED**.\n\n**What I did**\n1. I logged an outbound call (outcome \"answered\", reference `proof-2c4756`) on the \"ContactsQ Selftest (demo)\" contact. The touchpoint id is `tp_mw4qt5am_a1cb2e04397c`, recorded at 08:58:59Z.\n2. I found the audit envelope for that exact action: **`ENV_MW4QT5AR_31ZGAJ24`**. Its intent is `quox.contacts.touchpoint` and it is tied to the demo contact.\n3. I checked its receipt in the tamper-evident chain (WARD). The first check returned **UNTIPPED**: the entry was in the chain (position 6746268) but no signed checkpoint covered it yet. I re-checked after the next checkpoint was issued.\n\n**Final result**\n- **Status:** WITNESSED, with no warnings.\n- **Chain:** `ward:org/quox/env/production`, entry position 6746268, witnessed at 08:58:59.477Z.\n- **Entry hash:** `478804287e27b068f8523ffac6a8b39219d84130b68c7bf2aa236e904f9f64b8`\n- **Covering checkpoint:** tip `398761c5-504b-4f92-b1fa-eee5e49039ff` (position 6746300). It is signed, the signature verified, and it is timestamped (key `f695fbcf6be7179b`).\n- **Chain segment:** 33 entries checked.\n\n**What this proves**\n- This call was recorded in an append-only chain, where each entry's hash depends on the entries before it.\n- A signed checkpoint now commits to that chain. If anyone edited or removed this record afterwards, the hashes or the signature would stop matching, and the verification would fail.\n- The record existed by 08:58:59Z, the time it was witnessed.\n\n**What it does not prove**\nIt doesn't prove the call really happened in the real world. It proves the system's record of it is intact and unchanged.\n\nYour client can re-run the check independently with `quox governance ward verify --envelope ENV_MW4QT5AR_31ZGAJ24`.",

    "prompt": "A sceptical client won't take my word that the system keeps an honest, tamper-evident record of what it does. Prove it with one real action. First log an outbound call on my ContactsQ Selftest demo contact for proof run 2c4756. Then find the audit-trail envelope that recorded that exact call and give me its id. Then verify that envelope's WARD witness receipt and tell me plainly what it proves; if the receipt is not yet covered by a signed tip, wait for the next tip and verify it again, then give me the FINAL verdict, so they can see this exact action is in the tamper-evident record and has not been altered since. Don't run any shell commands.",
