Attestation
Core authoring template for a canonical governed, attributable assertion using the adopted ATT-YYYY-NNNN identity family and established Attestor structural concepts.

Templates
Attestor templates are governed authoring aids derived from adopted architecture and applicable schemas/profiles. They support creation of reviewable Attestor objects and governed changes without independently defining institutional architecture. The core Attestation and Trust Statement authoring structures have now been exercised through the first controlled production operation.
Canonical responsibility: Attestor → Trust Statement
Template rule: Architecture → Schema/Profile → Template → Governed Instance
Governing principle: Reference does not transfer authority.

Evidence Attestation Profile
Specialized authoring profile for the adopted evidence Attestation Type. Evidence remains input/context for evaluation rather than automatic proof.
Source / Provenance Attestation Profile
Specialized authoring profile for the adopted source-provenance Attestation Type, preserving source identity, provenance, state, and authority context.
Trust Statement
Authoring template for Attestor's canonical institutional output using the TRST-YYYY-NNNN identifier family and a bounded Attestor conclusion.
Governed Correction / Change
Operational change worksheet for Attestor-owned objects. Correction is governed through Lifecycle and Versioning and is not established as a separate canonical object class.
Trust Signal — Legacy
Historical design artifact only. Trust Signal is not a canonical Attestor object or operational template; useful context belongs in governed evaluation structures.
First Production Template Demonstration
The first controlled production operation exercised the core authoring structures represented by the Attestation and Trust Statement templates through ATT-2026-0001 and TRST-2026-0001. Those objects progressed from governed creation through evaluation, review, validation, conformance, lifecycle activation, and publication while preserving their canonical identity and bounded institutional meaning.

Core template architecture → DEMONSTRATED IN PRODUCTION

Evidence Attestation specialized template → Not independently production-proven by this operation
Source / Provenance specialized template → Not independently production-proven by this operation
Trust Signal template → Legacy / non-operational
Core template architecture → DEMONSTRATED IN PRODUCTION
Production proof applies to the authoring structures actually exercised. It does not imply that every specialized template, every Attestation Type, or every optional template path has been independently production-tested.
Template and Canonical Object Boundary
A template assists governed authoring; it is not itself the canonical object. Canonical identity arises only when an object is created under the applicable institutional rules and receives its canonical identifier.
Template → Authoring aid
Completed draft → Candidate governed representation
Canonical Creation → Canonical object + identifier
Template ≠ Canonical Object
Template Completion ≠ Lifecycle Activation
Template Completion ≠ Publication
Completed draft → Candidate governed representation
Canonical Creation → Canonical object + identifier
Template ≠ Canonical Object
Template Completion ≠ Lifecycle Activation
Template Completion ≠ Publication
Architecture Before Templates
Architecture → Schema/Profile → Template → Governed Instance
Templates implement decisions made by Attestor architecture. Controlled values, canonical identity, authority boundaries, provenance, lifecycle, versioning, evaluation, validation, conformance, and publication remain governed by their respective Attestor specifications.

Source / Provenance specialized template → Established profile; not independently production-proven here
Trust Signal template → Legacy / non-operational
Production proof → ESTABLISHED for core ATT/TRST authoring structures
Future templates and specialized profiles remain subordinate to their governing architecture and schemas. A template cannot create a new canonical object class, controlled value, authority, or institutional responsibility merely by containing a field or authoring path.
