Certification

PlannedDesign is complete. Implementation is in phases F1–F3 — no certificates are issued yet.

Connectors are graded: what guarantees they can offer is tested and recorded in a certificate.

What it grants Gate
L0 Catalogue Visible in the catalogue. Not callable Schema · no inline secrets · valid scope
L1 Read Reads work. Writes blocked probe leaves no trace · responses match schema · unknown id → not_found
L2 Write Writes work. Result is ACKNOWLEDGED Idempotency · duplicate storm → 1 effect · timeout → UNKNOWN
L3 Verified write Result can be VERIFIED Read-back on every write · the predicate separates success and failure
L4 Trusted For high-risk tenants Live sandbox · fault injection · secret hygiene

It depends on the provider, not on you:

read-back API exists → L3 possible
no read-back API → STAYS at L2

Not a badge — a signed claim. It binds to a digest, not a version:

{
"connector_id": "bitrix24",
"version": "2.1.0",
"manifest_digest": "sha256:4f1c…",
"adapter_digest": "sha256:9ab7…",
"level": "L3",
"suite_version": "conformance@1.0.0",
"evidence_ref": "run:cert-2026-08-12-0117",
"sandbox": "live",
"issued_at": "",
"expires_at": "",
"signature": ""
}
Why
Digest A version number is a claim; a digest is a fact. One changed byte voids the certificate
Expiry Provider APIs change without warning. A certificate without expiry is a permanent claim about a one-off test
Evidence ref “Passed” is not enough: which run, which responses, which predicate
Condition What the hub does
No certificate refuses to load
Digest mismatch refuses to load — code was swapped
Expired read-only
Level below requirement ⚠ operation blocked
Revoked stops immediately

⚠ A Domain Pack declares a minimum level per connector (min_level). A pack requiring L3 will not install against an L2 connector — being rejected at install time is clearer than an unexpected UNKNOWN at runtime.

Reaches Note
Live sandbox L0 → L4 Scoped, revocable credentials
Cassette (recorded responses) L0 → L2 Cheap, but the cassette itself can lie
