…tates Describe context verification alongside signature verification: what it confirms (same device the identifier was created on), the three verify endpoints and their JSON, the context result values, the combined signature/context states, the must-call-from-the-browser rule, and the render-time use case. Outcome-level only.
Contributor
Add the verify-context and verify-full response shapes, the resource-key and metering requirement, and the diagnostic factor block. Clarify that a verified context cannot be forged by tampering.
