Gateway Decision Records

PEAC records evidence for gateway decisions: policy gate outcomes, x402 payment flows, and gateway export events. The gateway is the issuer; downstream systems can verify the record offline.

Gateway export records (v0.14.3+)​

The org.peacprotocol/gateway-export extension group (8 type URIs, Section 34) covers x402 payment-settlement state machine outcomes:

  • gateway-request-observed
  • gateway-response-observed
  • gateway-policy-evaluated
  • gateway-auth-observed
  • gateway-payment-initiated
  • gateway-payment-settled
  • gateway-error-observed
  • gateway-session-closed

x402 payment flow records​

npm install @peac/adapter-x402
import { fromX402PaymentResponse } from '@peac/adapter-x402';

const record = fromX402PaymentResponse(paymentResponse, { iss, sub });
const signed = await issue(record, privateKey);
res.setHeader('PEAC-Receipt', signed);

Supports x402 v1 and v2 dual-header format (X-PAYMENT-RESPONSE and PEAC-Receipt).

Runtime governance gate records​

The org.peacprotocol/runtime-governance extension group records policy evaluation and compliance gate outcomes. See the runtime governance profile.

What PEAC does NOT do​

PEAC records gateway evidence. It does not route requests, enforce policy, manage gateway processes, or settle payments. Those are the gateway's responsibility.
