Summary

Implementing the release-record primitives (pnpm/pnpm#17554, pnpm/pnpm#17555) found gaps and one constraint in the merged RFC:

• The evidence route lacked the leaf index. An inclusion proof cannot be checked without it; inclusion now has index.
• Log entry bytes were unspecified. They are now a fixed line format (pnpr-log-entry/1, then purl or OCI repository/tag, revision when the ecosystem has one, profile, digest) that a parser checks by re-encoding.
• A TUF profile. The maintained Rust TUF clients depend on a C crypto library that does not build for pnpm's WebAssembly target, so pnpr's TUF use is limited to Ed25519 keys and top-level targets, and a client fails closed outside it. The guarantees the RFC lists (chain, expiry, rollback, length and digest, both thresholds on root rotation) are kept.
• One key encoding. Checkpoint, witness, and statement keys all use the signed-note verifier key <name>+<key hash>+<key>; a DSSE keyid is its <name>+<key hash>. The policy names a checkpoint key set with a threshold, so rotations can overlap.
• Smaller fixes. Checkpoint and statement keys use signed-note type 0x01, witness keys type 0x04 (whose message starts with cosignature/v1); the checkpoint threshold counts distinct keys; inclusion.index is zero-based; log entry bytes are UTF-8 with an LF after every line; the authority's root digest is lowercase hex; an OCI tag record's PURL follows purl-spec and has no repository_url, since the host depends on how the registry is reached.
• Tiles in blob storage. Log tiles and checkpoints are written to pnpr's blob storage beside archives, not to SQL, so a public log can be served from a bucket or CDN.
• No imported history. pnpr is experimental, so the rules for synthetic imported publications are gone.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated the OCI tag-record example to identify images by manifest digest and a tag qualifier, with the repository retained in the record.
  • Clarified transparency-log entry encoding and validation requirements, including OCI identity fields and Ed25519 witness cosignatures. Evidence responses now include the zero-based inclusion-tree index.
  • Defined the TUF verification profile for Ed25519 and top-level targets, including key encodings and checkpoint-signature thresholds; verification fails outside this profile.

Walkthrough

The release-record RFC updates OCI image identity, transparency-log entry and evidence formats, TUF verification rules, and registry authority identifiers.

Changes: Release-record contract

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Record and log representation pnpr/text/0000-release-records.md	OCI image PURLs use the manifest digest as the version and the tag as a qualifier. The record identifies the repository separately. The log specification defines Ed25519 witness cosignatures and a fixed, strictly re-encodable entry format. Evidence responses include the record’s zero-based inclusion-tree index.
TUF verification profile pnpr/text/0000-release-records.md	The client profile is restricted to Ed25519 keys and top-level targets, with no delegated targets. It specifies key encodings and requires a positive threshold of valid signatures from distinct checkpoint keys.
Registry authority identity pnpr/text/0000-release-records.md	The authority identifier and capability document specify a lowercase-hex digest of the first TUF root version. The text states that authority identity is independent of transport location and key rotation, and that rebinding to another log requires operator action.

Explanation

The title "rfc(pnpr): release record details from the implementation" is related to the changeset. The raw summary and objectives show the PR updates the merged release-record RFC (pnpr/text/0000-release-records.md) with details taken from the implementation work, including OCI tag record PURL changes, Ed25519 witness cosignatures, a fixed log-entry format, TUF profile narrowing, and lowercase-hex authority root digests. The title names the primary change accurately and concisely, and it follows the conventional commit-style prefix. It is specific enough that a teammate scanning history can tell what changed.

High-Level Assessment

The RFC's explicit wire formats and restricted TUF profile fit the stated interoperability and WebAssembly constraints. A maintained full TUF client was considered but does not build for the target described here; the restricted profile retains the specified verification guarantees and fails closed outside its scope.

State the signed-note Ed25519 type for statement keys.

The Ed25519-only profile and signed-note verifier-key requirement already define a deterministic mapping. The current wording does not make the type-byte mapping explicit, so an implementation may confuse it with the separate witness cosignature/v1 type.

Suggested clarification

 Every key the policy names, for checkpoints, witnesses, and statements, uses one encoding, the
 signed-note verifier key `<name>+<key hash>+<key>`, and a DSSE signature's
 `keyid` is its `<name>+<key hash>`. The policy names a set of checkpoint keys
 with a threshold, so a key rotation can overlap.
+For statement keys, `<key>` is the base64 encoding of the signed-note Ed25519
+type byte followed by the Ed25519 public key, not the witness `cosignature/v1`
+type.

@coderabbitai Outside-diff finding on line 212 (where the OCI registry host comes from): fixed in d1f9165. The host depends on how the registry is reached, so the record can't fix it, and an OCI tag record's purl now has no repository_url. The record's repository field and the log's registry identity locate the image, and the tag record's log entry never used the PURL.

@zkochan Confirmed in d1f9165: the OCI tag record’s purl omits repository_url. The record’s repository field and the log’s registry identity locate the image. The log entry uses repository and tag, not the PURL. This addresses the finding. Thanks for the fix.

Use the record's repository field and the log's registry identity to locate the image; verify that OCI tag log entries identify the tag with repository and tag rather than the PURL.
