What this claim says

label: Every /claims JSON response carries the ProofAnnotationEnvelope shape (data + proof.source/as_of/methodology_url/claims_ref)
page: /claims
claim id (yaml): claims_json_envelope_shape
behavior: LEGITIMATELY_FLAT
Layer 3 source: self-attested-only

Risk note

The whole point of the queryable claims layer is to give agents a consistent proof-annotated surface across every machine-readable endpoint. If a future edit strips the `proof` block from a response, the endpoint has silently become second-class. Sibling of the MCP envelope-contract rule.
