Abstract:

   This document defines the Cedulon Protocol, an audit layer for agent-
   to-agent commerce.  Payment rails such as HTTP 402 flows (x402) and
   mandate protocols (AP2) already move value.  They do not, by
   themselves, produce a fail-closed policy check and a signed spend
   receipt that a verifier can reconcile against a rail extract.
   Cedulon specifies a Trade Manifest (signed offer before payment), a
   Policy Decision Point with default deny, a Spend Receipt (COSE/CWT
   claim set after a gated payment), epoch checkpoints, and rail-extract
   reconciliation that proves completeness against an authenticated rail
   extract.  It also defines a Dispute Evidence Bundle (evidence, not an
   award) and optional SCITT anchoring.  Cedulon is not a competitor to
   x402 or AP2; it sits above them.
