Canonization Protocol (The Three Seals)

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized way to formally “canonize” an artifact so it becomes an immutable sovereign node, protected by the workspace governance rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structural Seal (UIP-V15 compliance): Verifies the artifact conforms to the expected v15.0 Block Map requirements before sealing.
• Semantic Seal (registry alignment): Updates or creates entries in the GVRN.Master.Registry.yaml with artifact identity, version, domain, relations, and content hash.
• Cryptographic Seal (integrity anchoring): Computes a SHA256-based content hash (excluding the Omni-Anchor section) and generates an Omni-Anchor block to record the canonical state.
• Use Case: When a team produces governance-relevant Markdown artifacts (rules, protocols, skills), canonize them to lock versions, ensure registry discoverability, and prevent accidental post-approval edits.

Quick Start

Run the canonization ritual on the target artifact path provided by your workspace so it updates both the artifact metadata and the master registry.
