What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
The cryptographic mandate chain (tamper-evident, independently verifiable Intent->Cart->Payment) aligns well with our hybrid-signature/verifiable-credential architecture and has ~60 heavyweight backers plus FIDO governance, but it is pre-1.0, is a framework rather than a rail, and has no production deployments with published volumes to validate it yet.
Next
Map AP2's three mandate types onto our existing protocol-agnostic mandate model (protocol_type + JSONB metadata, Rule #12) and follow FIDO working-group drafts; defer implementation until a 1.0/stable schema and a non-sample SDK land, and until card-based pilots publish real volumes.
