 |---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | agent-commerce-demo | KyneSys Labs | Full lifecycle (DACS-1..5); exercises `pay-x402` end-to-end (buyer-side EIP-3009/Permit2, USDC on Base) | `vector-tested` (golden vectors, DACS-Standard `conformance/`) | TBD on publication | **Canonical** (steward reference implementation; repo currently private, publication pending) |
 | [dacs-directory](./reference-implementations/dacs-directory) | [randomblocker](https://github.com/randomblocker) | Community agent catalog and browser UI: DACS-1 §6.3.6 catalog API and ListingSummary/ReputationHint shapes; DACS-1 CCI identity resolution; DACS-5 §10.4 bundle and referenced-artifact verification; §10.5 reputation derivation | `exercises-spec` — implementation tests cover security boundaries and verification policy; no claim of full golden-vector coverage | MIT | In-tree |
+| [DACS Forge](https://github.com/mj-deving/dacs-forge) | [mj-deving](https://github.com/mj-deving) | Independent Bun/TypeScript fixture/no-spend service lifecycle against DACS v0.4: CORE §B.1/B.2/B.7 canonical identity, JSON, and signatures; DACS-1 Listing and identity checks; DACS-2 self-signed DeliveryAssertion/VerifyResult; DACS-3 agreement and commitment; DACS-4 settlement and attested delivery; DACS-5 role-local bundles and producer-independent consumer verification. Service forks own five bounded extension paths; Forge owns admission, SQLite persistence, restart/replay, and evidence packaging | `vector-tested` — passes the named v0.4 canonicalize, Listing unknown-field retention, signature-value encoding, settlement-finalization, and DACS-5 bundle-convergence vectors. The immutable [v0.1.1 Product Seal](https://github.com/mj-deving/dacs-forge/releases/tag/v0.1.1) publishes digest-bound independent-consumer and extension-only reference-fork evidence; this is not full normative conformance, certification, or live-commerce qualification | MIT | External — [run exact v0.1.1](https://github.com/mj-deving/dacs-forge/blob/2d2543c8724a4c998daebbca8322aa75e2da889a/README.md#reproduce-the-supported-release) with Bun 1.3.9 on Linux; no secrets required; fixture run performs no live registration, anchoring, broadcast, transfer, or reputation write |
 | [pathos-dacs-ref](https://github.com/cX3po/pathos-dacs-ref) | PATH-OS Labs | DACS-5 §10.4 AttestationBundle + JCS canonical form §B.2 (signed-scope hashing); §10.4.2/3 two-sided anchoring + divergence; DACS-1 identity verify, DACS-2 recipe vetting, DACS-3 sealed-bid, DACS-4 settlement-evidence; selective-disclosure / consent / dispute-evidence layer | `vector-tested` — reproduces the DACS-Standard `conformance/` golden AttestationBundle hashes (§10.4 signed scope + canonical form §B.2); `exercises-spec` for the rest (two-sided anchoring, DACS-1/2/3/4, disclosure/consent/dispute) | MIT | External |
 | [dacs-verify](https://github.com/mj-deving/dacs-verify) | mj-deving | Independent Bun/TypeScript verifier and conformance runner for DACS v0.1: canonical JSON + content hashes (§B.2), domain-separated signatures (§B.7), DACS-1 identity/listing checks, DACS-2 vetting primitives, DACS-3 agreement checks, DACS-4 settlement evidence, DACS-5 AttestationBundle/reputation verification, plus a proposed DACS-X dispute/disclosure prototype. **Generates DACS-Standard's published §14 golden vectors** — named as the `generator` in `conformance/MANIFEST.json` | `vector-tested` — passes 186 DACS-Standard golden conformance checks across DACS-1..5 verifier surfaces; DACS-X dispute/disclosure code is `prototype` / non-normative | MIT | External |
 | [stranger-gauntlet](https://github.com/cX3po/pathos-dacs-ref/tree/main/showcase/stranger-gauntlet) | PATH-OS Labs | A2A trust showcase — one Shopper vets three stranger vendor agents through the DACS-5 §10.4.1 AttestationBundle acceptance verifier: two honest bundles → `accept`; a bundle tampered *after* signing → `reject` with the decisive check named. Exercises §10.4.1 signed-scope hashing (R5-1 anchoredByRole-excluded canonical form) and §7.5.1 do-not-collapse (`accept` vs `reject`/`indeterminate`) | `exercises-spec` — demonstrates the §10.4.1 verifier catching a counterfeit built from local fixed-seed fixtures (not named DACS-Standard vectors); the underlying verifier + canonical hasher are the vector-tested pathos-dacs-ref. Deterministic, zero-network, no deployed identities | MIT | External |
