Example prompt: Can you validate this AI deliverable manifest and give me a signed QA receipt showing whether it passes, warns, or fails — I need the deterministic verdict before we ship?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a deterministic, signed QA receipt specifically for an AI deliverable manifest — as opposed to inspecting raw file bytes (use the bytes inspection endpoint) or verifying claims against a web or PDF source. Ideal for CI/CD pipelines, agent handoff gates, and audit trail generation where a cryptographically signed PASS/WARN/FAIL verdict is required.

## Known failure modes

- Malformed or missing manifest payload returns a validation error
- Non-compliant manifest schema triggers a FAIL verdict with reason codes
- Network or service unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Invalid or unparseable JSON in the manifest body returns a 400 error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC results in a 402 Payment Required response

## How this service works

Validate an AI deliverable manifest and receive a signed deterministic PASS/WARN/FAIL QA receipt.

## Output

A signed, deterministic QA receipt indicating PASS, WARN, or FAIL for the submitted AI deliverable manifest, along with supporting details about which checks passed or failed. The receipt is cryptographically signed for auditability.
