   Title:   Identity-Attributed Git Commits via Tier-Structured Trailers

Abstract:

   This document defines a git commit trailer grammar for identity-
   attributed contributions using the ~handle identity primitive defined
   in [MCPDNS].  The grammar binds sovereign actors, automated bots, and
   AI instruments to specific commits via three tier-structured trailers
   (Acted-By, Executed-By, Drafted-With) and three optional
   cryptographic trailers (Identity-Signature, Identity-Key-Id,
   Identity-Anchor).  The signature is computed with Ed25519 over the
   commit's tree hash rather than its commit hash, preserving
   attribution across rebase, cherry-pick, and squash merge operations.
   Conformant parsers reject cross-tier category errors (e.g., an
   Instrument-tier handle in an Acted-By slot) as malformed.  The
   mechanism is provider-neutral, depends only on DNS [RFC1035] and the
   ~handle resolution algorithm of [MCPDNS], and requires no central
   authority or platform-specific verification service.
