Verification tiers in the console chat

BadgeTier
Verified by this page1, the console page, self-reported
Independently verified by the extension2, the browser extension
Verify it yourself3, Gatekeeper on your machine

Refusals: Evidence did not check out (tier 1), The extension refused this endpoint (tier 2). Waiting: Checking this endpoint, Asking the extension. Absent: No extension detected.

Evidence state of this router's own endpoints

Published, Stale, Not published. Facts about publication, never verdicts. A bundle reads as stale after the deployment's freshness window, 24 hours.

External endpoint status

ValueBadgeMeaning
VERIFIED_BY_THIS_ROUTERVerified by this routerEvidence verified, measurement on the trust list, digest pinned, certificate pinned
DENIED_BY_THIS_ROUTERDenied by this routerThe last check refused it; models out of /v1/models
PENDINGPending (Awaiting a verdict to users)No verdict yet, or awaiting approval of a factor
DISABLEDDisabled (Switched off to users)Taken out of service by an operator; not a verdict

External endpoint stages

The lastStage of a denial, or the factor a pending endpoint waits on:

StageMeaningAction
digest-not-pinnedNo digest is pinned yet; projects to PENDINGPin this digest
measurement-not-trustedThe cloud's measurement is not on the listAdd to trust list, if you trust that cloud
digest-mismatchA digest is pinned and the deployment now publishes anotherApprove new digest, after reading the diff
fetch, cert-chain, untrusted-root, jws, tls-fingerprint, policyThe Gatekeeper pipeline stages, below

Timeline event kinds

Registered, Verified by this router, Denied by this router, Deployment digest changed, Deployment digest pinned, Measurement changed, Disabled, Key rotated.

Measurement anchor

registry-signed (Super Protocol's registry signed it) or operator-pinned (an administrator accepted it). Display state only; the trust list is what admits.

Gatekeeper denial stages

stageWhat happened
fetchThe endpoint did not serve a usable bundle
cert-chainIts chain is malformed, expired or does not chain up
untrusted-rootThe chain ends somewhere you never trusted, and the root could not prove it is a Super Swarm root
jwsBad signature, wrong payload, or a stale or future bundle
tls-fingerprintThe signed certificate is not the one on this connection
policyVerified, but a policy said no; usually an unpinned digest

Verdict words: ADMITTED, DENIED. Root anchors: trustedRoots, attested (registry), attested (operator-pinned).

API error codes

On Errors and limits.

Invitation refusals

invite_required, invite_already_claimed, invite_expired_or_unknown (403, invite-only deployments); the public lookup answers only unavailable.

Glossary

TermMeaning
AttestationA hardware-signed report of what a confidential VM is running, and the act of checking it
BundleThe signed document at /.well-known/swarm-evidence: chain, signature over the snapshot, TLS fingerprint, issuedAt
Evidence digestSHA-256 of the canonical deployment snapshot: images by digest plus configuration. Identifies one deployment
MeasurementThe normalised launch measurement of a cloud's root certificate authority VM, 64 hex characters. Identifies a cloud's image, never a deployment
PinA digest you approved for an endpoint; the list is plural so a rollout can be approved in advance
RegistrySuper Protocol's public directory of signed measurements for the images it builds; the signing key is pinned in Gatekeeper
Registry-signedA measurement found in that registry
Operator-pinnedA measurement you accepted yourself with trust measurements add
SnapshotThe deployment's images and configuration, as rendered and attested
TEETrusted execution environment: AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX, NVIDIA Confidential Computing
TierWhich of the three agents produced a verdict about this router
Trust listThe administrator's list of cloud measurements for external upstreams
WorkspaceThe unit that owns keys and a credit balance; every account gets a personal one
