Protocol / ADRP · draft-stone-adrp-01 · Informational
ADRP is the dispute layer for agent commerce — the protocol that activates when an ATXN bundle enters the disputed state.
Definition
Live IETF Internet-Draft draft-stone-adrp-01 (Informational). Companion to ATXN. It defines the wire protocol and state machine for resolving contested agent-to-agent transactions without pretending cryptography alone settles the contract.
ADRP severs the assumption that a valid cryptographic proof bundle equals contractual satisfaction. Conduit-style verifiers prove actions happened; they do not prove the Intent Mandate was met.
Cryptographic disputes resolve from the proof bundle and mandate chain. Semantic disputes resolve against pre-committed acceptance criteria, with arbitration when those criteria are missing.
Principals can pre-commit dispute policy as an ADRP extension linked to AP2 mandates or an ATXN Standing Token — enforceability stays jurisdiction- and fact-specific.
A signed RulingBundle can supersede a ProofBundle by signing-time precedence. Both stay in the hash chain forever; override is computed at verification time, not by mutating history.
