Operator Guides

These guides are for people running or validating a Genesis Mesh sovereign. They focus on independent key ownership, public metadata, recognition proofs, and evidence bundles.

Use this section when you need to stand up a Network Authority, verify that an operator controls their own trust domain, or run a cross-sovereign recognition workflow.

Start Here

• Operator Quickstart: stand up a named sovereign on a VM.

• External Operator Proof: run and evaluate an independent-operator recognition and revocation proof.

• Trust Bundle Exchange: export, inspect, and validate public trust material before federation review.

• Treaty Lifecycle: list, inspect, renew, replace, and revoke direct-recognition treaties.

• Sovereign Dashboard: read local health, treaty risk, revocation freshness, and recent trust changes from one read-only page.

• Recognition Playbook: run direct recognition and revocation between sovereigns.

• Proof Bundle Schema: understand the redacted JSON evidence bundle produced by remote proof workflows.
