# Glossary

## Answer audit log

A tenant-scoped record of submitted answer content or commitments, identifiers, references, model-run context, policy flags, and later lifecycle events.

## Application JWT

A production credential bound to one `application_key` and limited by operation-specific scopes.

## Commitment

A hash-shaped value that binds data without placing the original data directly in public proof material. The privacy properties depend on the construction and the predictability of the input.

## Idempotency key

A stable application-derived identifier that makes retries return the original record instead of creating duplicates.

## Independent reconciliation

A detective comparison between rawctx answer logs and a separately produced reference set for the same application, environment, and period.

## Signed tree head (STH)

A signed statement binding a Merkle root and tree size for a trust log.

## Source reference

A submitted reference to supporting material, media, or an external trace. Its presence in a record does not prove that the source is true or was used in model reasoning.

## Trust receipt

Verification material that binds a submitted record or checkpoint to a trust log, signature, anchor, or witness state.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rawctx.gitbook.io/rawctx-docs/documentation/glossary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
