   Title:   QIK-VRT Effect Acknowledgement: Separating Receipt from Authorization for Downstream Effect

Abstract:

   Transport acknowledgements establish technical receipt; they do not
   establish that a received information unit is understood, policy-
   compliant, or authorized to produce a downstream effect.  This
   document defines an Experimental application-layer control record,
   called EFFECT_ACK, that separates receipt from effect authorization.

   The protocol has five closed version-1 outcomes.  Ordinary downstream
   release is permitted only for EFFECT_ACK_DONE and only after
   validation of the record, its policy and evidence bindings, its
   freshness, and its authenticated origin.  This document specifies the
   state-selection algorithm, version handling, a deterministic JSON
   representation, hash chaining, timeout behavior, conformance
   requirements, and security and privacy boundaries.

   This protocol does not modify TCP, QUIC, or the OSI model; does not
   solve the halting problem; and does not establish the truth of
   external evidence.  It provides a machine-checkable authorization
   boundary under explicitly stated deployment assumptions.
