# Issuer Onboarding Pack (v1)

## Purpose

This pack defines the minimum deterministic requirements for external issuers publishing offers on EDUT.

## Issuer Entry Checklist

1. Register issuer namespace (`issuer_id`).
2. Submit issuer manifest (`issuer_manifest.v1`).
3. Register signing keys and key-rotation contact.
4. Provide support channel and incident contact.
5. Accept marketplace policy and conformance obligations.

## Offer Publish Checklist

1. Offer payload validates against `offer.v1.schema.json`.
2. `member_only` policy is explicit.
3. Price/currency/chain fields are complete.
4. Entitlement type and scope are explicit.
5. Offer status set to `draft` first.
6. Policy hash generated and stored.
7. Review gate passed before `active`.

## Policy Lint Checklist

1. No missing required policy fields.
2. No unknown enum values.
3. No contradictory flags (for example, workspace-bound + transferable true unless explicitly supported).
4. Currency is supported (`USDC` or `ETH` in v1).
5. Amount is positive atomic integer.
6. Lifecycle transitions are valid (`draft -> active -> paused/retired`).

## Runtime Expectations

1. Issuer offers cannot bypass membership gate.
2. Entitlement activation must be fail-closed.
3. Revocation and suspension must propagate deterministically.

## Incident Responsibilities

1. Issuer must acknowledge critical entitlement issue within published SLA.
2. Issuer must provide rollback or pause decision path.
3. Issuer actions must preserve audit evidence.

## Non-Negotiables

1. No direct side-channel entitlement grants.
2. No hidden pricing paths outside quote/confirm policy.
3. No policy mutation without versioned update and evidence.
