 ## v0.2: Runtime enforcement and sealed channel
 
-- Runtime peer-delegation enforcement: **decision core landed** (`ca2a_runtime.peer.enforce_peer_call`: verify chain, intersect delegated scope with local policy, enforce, emit provenance record; claim C3 validated), now with a **real Cedar policy engine** option (`ca2a_runtime.cedar.CedarPolicy`) alongside the allow-set `LocalPolicy`. Live transport **landed** (`ca2a_runtime.transport`: A2A wire binding in `transport.a2a`, a reference standard-library HTTP server and client, and `ca2a_runtime.node.PeerNode`), exercised end to end in software mode by `tests/unit/test_live_call.py` and runnable from a config file with `ca2a start`

 - Sealed peer channel: **landed** (`ca2a_runtime.channel`: HPKE-style X25519 -> HKDF-SHA256 -> ChaCha20-Poly1305 sealing to the peer's attested key; claim C4 validated). The seal is now **gated on a verified channel key** by the attestation handshake (`ca2a_runtime.attestation`: offer, verify, seal), so a payload is sealed only to an attested peer key; software mode records `assurance="none"` and hardware plugs in via a `verifier` callable. Remaining hardware property: the enclave holding the private key, established on a confidential VM
 - Linked runtime evidence: **landed** (`ca2a_runtime.trace_binding` emits a signed TRACE record per hop with the A2A `delegation` block; `ca2a_verify.verify_trace_dag` verifies the DAG offline, each link committing to the parent's full signed record). Built on `agentrust-trace` (Ed25519 + RFC 8785), reused not reimplemented. Software-mode records are Level 0; a hardware TEE run lifts them to Level 1. See `examples/trace-dag/`.

 - **Cross-operator attestation (C6): validated in software.** A two-operator harness (SEV-SNP verifier + measurement pinning + sealed channel) shows independent keys, mutual attestation, confidential cross-operator delegation, and binary-swap detection. All six claims (C1-C6) are now validated experiments.
 - **Live attested peer: landed.** The `verifier` seam has been driven off a real SEV-SNP quote on an Azure confidential VM, so `verify_offer` returned `assurance="hardware"` and a payload was sealed to a hardware-vouched channel key; measurement mismatch and stale nonce both rejected. See [docs/hardware-validation.md](docs/hardware-validation.md).
 - **Cross-operator, cross-TEE run: landed.** An Azure SEV-SNP peer appraised a GCP Intel TDX peer's real quote, sealed a delegated task to the attested key, and the TDX enclave opened it, enforced the attenuated scope, allowed `tool:search` and refused `tool:purchase` with a denial record returned across the boundary. See [docs/hardware-validation.md](docs/hardware-validation.md).
-- **Pending:** a hardware run of the SEV-SNP and TDX collectors (both implemented against configfs-TSM, neither yet exercised on silicon), mutual attestation on real silicon in both directions (the protocol now supports it in software mode and is off by default; that hardware run was one-directional), simultaneous attestation (which needs a commitment step neither peer can back out of, a larger protocol than what landed), and the TPM certificate-chain path. TPM parsing, bindings and the AK signature are validated against a real Azure vTPM quote; SEV-SNP and TDX appraisal of real evidence is done. The transport that parses A2A messages into a `PeerRequest` has **landed** (`ca2a_runtime.transport.a2a`), running in software mode; the hardware seam is the `verifier` callable in `ca2a_runtime.attestation`.

-> Two limits remain, and P-6 is not fully met until both close. The appraisal is **one-directional**: the caller appraised the callee, not the reverse, so neither side has yet proven itself to a peer that is simultaneously proving itself back. And the committed harness in `examples/` still runs software-attested against synthetic vectors, because genuine evidence embeds per-CPU identifiers and is not shippable as a fixture. See [attestation](attestation.md) and [hardware-validation](../hardware-validation.md).
+> Two limits remain, and P-6 is not fully met until both close. **On hardware the appraisal is still one-directional**: in the recorded runs the caller appraised the callee and not the reverse, so neither side has yet proven itself to a peer that is simultaneously proving itself back. The protocol no longer is: as of 2026-08-09 a callee issues a challenge and appraises the caller's offer before opening the sealed payload, off by default and in software mode only ([mutual-attestation](mutual-attestation.md)). Making the protocol mutual does not make the recorded hardware run mutual, and it does not make the exchange simultaneous — the caller still commits a sealed payload before the callee has appraised it. And the committed harness in `examples/` still runs software-attested against synthetic vectors, because genuine evidence embeds per-CPU identifiers and is not shippable as a fixture.
