A claim establishes who may attest. It does not silently sign this or any future catalog revision.

Immutable entity: ent_01k00000000000000000000001
Current revision: sha256:3cfc73bebb96…
Proof methods: DNS TXT, or a link sent to a role address on the vendor domain

Proof

Prove control of acmedb.example

Both methods create the same revision-pinned authority claim. The public catalog changes only after the signed events pass review and appear in a release.
