thePR0M3TH3AN 2beb7a7bb5 feat: adapter contract, commerce proof-of-fit, and reusability docs
Proves the engine did not stay video-specific during extraction.

- application adapter contract in core (createApplicationAdapter,
  evaluateObject, collectTargets): an object names the targets that govern it
  and the strictest verdict reaching any of them wins, so denying a seller
  takes their whole catalogue down with no cascade logic in the application
- examples/commerce: a marketplace on the public API covering all ten
  proof-of-fit behaviors the plan requires, including that no core change was
  needed. One product, one snapshot, four surfaces, four different verdicts.
- README, integration guide, per-example README, CHANGELOG, four ADRs, and
  GPL-3.0-or-later LICENSE (the license was listed in Phase 1 but missing)
- checkpoints rewritten to reflect actual state and to say plainly which
  migration-plan phases belong to the consumer repos rather than here

Fixes a real gap found by the proof-of-fit: composeDecisions kept only the
first decision's evidence, so an object governed by several targets lost the
evidence that drove its verdict. Evidence now merges — counts summed,
contributor lists unioned, flags or-ed.

556 tests; lint, typecheck, and per-package type build clean.

Commerce proof-of-fit

A marketplace built on nostr-governance, using only the published API.

The point is not to ship marketplace moderation. It is to prove the engine did not accidentally stay video-specific during extraction: if a commerce consumer needs a change to @nostr-governance/core, the abstraction is wrong.

What it demonstrates

The migration plan lists ten behaviors a commerce consumer should show before 1.0.0. Each is a numbered block in test/proof-of-fit.test.js:

  1. Seller allowlist mode — unlisted sellers are hidden from discovery, but the allowlist is not enforced at checkout
  2. Administrative seller denial — takes the seller's whole catalogue down while leaving them their own dashboard view
  3. Product-address denial — survives the seller republishing under a new event id, and does not touch their other listings
  4. Exact-event denial — affects only the named revision
  5. Trusted scam-report downranking — one report reorders, three block checkout; nothing is hidden on a single signal
  6. Malware checkout denial — one trusted malware report blocks the sale, while three "misleading" reports do not
  7. Moderator capability checks — a listing moderator cannot deny a seller; a seller moderator cannot deny a listing address
  8. Community curator ingestion — curated denials are honored, curator contributions beyond their capability are dropped, and the root cannot be denied through a curated list
  9. Seller-dashboard explanation — the seller sees who reported and why; public surfaces see only counts
  10. No core changes required — four different verdicts for one product from one snapshot, using only exported functions

The shape worth copying

A product answers to three targets — its seller, its exact event, and its address coordinate — and the composed decision is the strictest verdict reaching it. That is what makes "deny the seller" remove every listing without a line of cascade logic in the application.

One product, one snapshot, four surfaces:

Surface Visibility Transaction
public-marketplace restrict deny
product-detail restrict, overridable deny
checkout allow deny
seller-dashboard restrict, with evidence deny

Reviews deliberately answer to their reviewer and their own event — never to the product they review. Otherwise denying a bad product would silence the reviews warning people about it.
