-### Using Homebrew (macOS)
-You can read the full manifest spec here, but the dependencies block is the real interesting bit. Dependencies for your workflow, like Go, Node.js, Python etc. can be pulled in from nixpkgs. Nixpkgs—for the uninitiated—is a vast collection of packages for the Nix package manager. Fortunately, you needn’t know nor care about Nix to use it! Just head to https://search.nixos.org to find your package of choice (I’ll bet 1€ that it’s there1), toss it in the list and run your build. The Nix-savvy of you lot will be happy to know that you can use custom registries too.
+### Using Homebrew (macOS and Linux)
+
 ```bash
+# Add the ATCR tap
 brew tap atcr-io/tap
+
+# Install the credential helper
 brew install docker-credential-atcr
 ```
 
+The Homebrew formula supports:
+- **macOS**: Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (arm64)
+- **Linux**: x86_64 and arm64
+
+Homebrew will automatically download the correct binary for your platform.
+
 ### Manual Installation
 
 1. **Download the binary** for your platform from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/atcr-io/atcr/releases)

+# atcr-verify CLI Tool
+
+## Overview
+
+`atcr-verify` is a command-line tool for verifying ATProto signatures on container images stored in ATCR. It provides cryptographic verification of image manifests using ATProto's DID-based trust model.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ Verify ATProto signatures via OCI Referrers API
+- ✅ DID resolution and public key extraction
+- ✅ PDS query and commit signature verification
+- ✅ Trust policy enforcement
+- ✅ Offline verification mode (with cached data)
+- ✅ Multiple output formats (human-readable, JSON, quiet)
+- ✅ Exit codes for CI/CD integration
+- ✅ Kubernetes admission controller integration

+## Trust Policy
+
+Trust policies define which signatures to trust and what to do when verification fails.
+
+### Policy File Format
+
+```yaml

+- `atcr.io/*/prod-*` - All images with "prod-" prefix
+- `atcr.io/myorg/myapp` - Specific repository
+- `atcr.io/myorg/myapp:v*` - Tag pattern matching
+
+### Policy Actions
+
+**`enforce`** - Reject if policy fails
+- Exit code 4
+- Blocks deployment
+
+**`audit`** - Log but allow
+- Exit code 0 (success)
+- Warning message printed
+
+**`allow`** - Always allow
+- No verification performed
+- Exit code 0
+
+### Policy Requirements
+
+**`signature: true`** - Require signature present
+
+**`trustedDIDs`** - List of trusted DIDs
+```yaml
+trustedDIDs:
+  - did:plc:alice123

+
+## Verification Flow
+
+### 1. Image Resolution
+
+```
+Input: atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+  ↓
+Resolve tag to digest
+  ↓
+Output: sha256:abc123...
+```
+
+### 2. Signature Discovery
+
+```
+Query OCI Referrers API:
+  GET /v2/alice/myapp/referrers/sha256:abc123
+  ?artifactType=application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json
+  ↓
+Returns: List of signature artifacts
+  ↓
+Download signature metadata blobs
+```
+
+### 3. DID Resolution
+
+```
+Extract DID from signature: did:plc:alice123
+  ↓
+Query PLC directory:
+  GET https://plc.directory/did:plc:alice123
+  ↓
+Extract public key from DID document
+```
+
+### 4. PDS Query
+
+```
+Get PDS endpoint from DID document

+    &rkey=abc123
+  ↓
+Get commit CID from record
+  ↓
+Fetch commit data (includes signature)
+```
+
+### 5. Signature Verification
+
+```
+Extract signature bytes from commit
+  ↓
+Compute commit hash (SHA-256)
+  ↓
+Verify: ECDSA_K256(hash, signature, publicKey)
+  ↓
+Result: Valid or Invalid
+```
+
+### 6. Trust Policy Evaluation
+
+```
+Check if DID is in trustedDIDs list
+  ↓
+Check signature age < maxAge
+  ↓
+Check minSignatures satisfied

+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+- `ATCR_CONFIG` - Config file path
+- `ATCR_POLICY` - Default trust policy file
+- `ATCR_CACHE_DIR` - Cache directory
+- `ATCR_OUTPUT` - Output format (text, json, quiet)
+- `ATCR_TIMEOUT` - Verification timeout
+- `HTTP_PROXY` / `HTTPS_PROXY` - Proxy settings
+- `NO_CACHE` - Disable caching
+
+## Library Usage
+
+`atcr-verify` can also be used as a Go library:
+
+```go
+import "github.com/atcr-io/atcr/pkg/verify"
+
+func main() {
+    verifier := verify.NewVerifier(verify.Config{
+        Policy: policy,
+        Timeout: 30 * time.Second,
+    })
+
+    result, err := verifier.Verify(ctx, "atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest")
+    if err != nil {
+        log.Fatal(err)
+    }
+
+    if !result.Verified {
+        log.Fatal("Verification failed")
+    }
+
+    fmt.Printf("Verified by %s\n", result.Signature.DID)
+}
+```
+
+## Performance
+
+### Typical Verification Times
+
+- **First verification:** 500-1000ms
+  - OCI Referrers API: 50-100ms
+  - DID resolution: 50-150ms
+  - PDS query: 100-300ms
+  - Signature verification: 1-5ms
+
+- **Cached verification:** 50-150ms
+  - DID document cached
+  - Signature metadata cached
+
+### Optimization Tips
+
+1. **Enable caching** - DID documents change rarely
+2. **Use offline bundles** - For air-gapped environments
+3. **Parallel verification** - Verify multiple images concurrently
+4. **Local trust policy** - Avoid remote policy fetches
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Verification Fails
+
+```bash
+atcr-verify atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest --verbose
+```
+
+Common issues:
+- **No signature found** - Image not signed, check Referrers API
+- **DID resolution failed** - Network issue, check PLC directory
+- **PDS unreachable** - Network issue, check PDS endpoint
+- **Signature invalid** - Tampering detected or key mismatch
+- **Trust policy violation** - DID not in trusted list
+
+### Enable Debug Logging
+
+```bash
+ATCR_LOG_LEVEL=debug atcr-verify IMAGE
+```
+
+### Clear Cache
+
+```bash
+rm -rf ~/.atcr/cache
+```

+# ATProto Signatures for Container Images
+
+## Overview
+
+ATCR container images are **already cryptographically signed** through ATProto's repository commit system. Every manifest stored in a user's PDS is signed with the user's ATProto signing key, providing cryptographic proof of authorship and integrity.
+
+This document explains:
+- How ATProto signing works
+- Why additional signing tools aren't needed
+- How to bridge ATProto signatures to the OCI/ORAS ecosystem
+- Trust model and security considerations
+
+## Key Insight: Manifests Are Already Signed
+
+When you push an image to ATCR:
+
+```bash
+docker push atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+```
+
+The following happens:
+
+1. **AppView stores manifest** as an `io.atcr.manifest` record in alice's PDS
+2. **PDS creates repository commit** containing the manifest record
+3. **PDS signs the commit** with alice's ATProto signing key (ECDSA K-256)
+4. **Signature is stored** in the repository commit object
+
+**Result:** The manifest is cryptographically signed with alice's private key, and anyone can verify it using alice's public key from her DID document.
+
+## ATProto Signing Mechanism
+
+### Repository Commit Signing
+
+ATProto uses a Merkle Search Tree (MST) to store records, and every modification creates a signed commit:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  Repository Commit                          │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  DID: did:plc:alice123                      │
+│  Version: 3jzfkjqwdwa2a                      │
+│  Previous: bafyreig7... (parent commit)     │
+│  Data CID: bafyreih8... (MST root)          │
+│  ┌───────────────────────────────────────┐  │
+│  │  Signature (ECDSA K-256 + SHA-256)    │  │
+│  │  Signed with: alice's private key     │  │
+│  │  Value: 0x3045022100... (DER format)  │  │
+│  └───────────────────────────────────────┘  │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                     │
+                     ↓
+           ┌─────────────────────┐
+           │  Merkle Search Tree │
+           │  (contains records) │
+           └─────────────────────┘
+                     │
+                     ↓
+        ┌────────────────────────────┐
+        │  io.atcr.manifest record   │
+        │  Repository: myapp          │
+        │  Digest: sha256:abc123...   │
+        │  Layers: [...]              │
+        └────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Signature Algorithm
+
+**Algorithm:** ECDSA with K-256 (secp256k1) curve + SHA-256 hash
+- **Curve:** secp256k1 (same as Bitcoin, Ethereum)
+- **Hash:** SHA-256
+- **Format:** DER-encoded signature bytes
+- **Variant:** "low-S" signatures (per BIP-0062)
+
+**Signing process:**
+1. Serialize commit data as DAG-CBOR
+2. Hash with SHA-256
+3. Sign hash with ECDSA K-256 private key
+4. Store signature in commit object
+
+### Public Key Distribution
+
+Public keys are distributed via DID documents, accessible through DID resolution:
+
+**DID Resolution Flow:**
+```
+did:plc:alice123
+       ↓
+Query PLC directory: https://plc.directory/did:plc:alice123
+       ↓
+DID Document:
+{
+  "@context": ["https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1"],
+  "id": "did:plc:alice123",
+  "verificationMethod": [{
+    "id": "did:plc:alice123#atproto",
+    "type": "Multikey",
+    "controller": "did:plc:alice123",
+    "publicKeyMultibase": "zQ3shokFTS3brHcDQrn82RUDfCZESWL1ZdCEJwekUDdo1Ko4Z"
+  }],
+  "service": [{
+    "id": "#atproto_pds",
+    "type": "AtprotoPersonalDataServer",
+    "serviceEndpoint": "https://bsky.social"
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+**Public key format:**
+- **Encoding:** Multibase (base58btc with `z` prefix)
+- **Codec:** Multicodec `0xE701` for K-256 keys
+- **Example:** `zQ3sh...` decodes to 33-byte compressed public key
+
+## Verification Process
+
+To verify a manifest's signature:
+
+### Step 1: Resolve Image to Manifest Digest
+
+```bash
+# Get manifest digest
+DIGEST=$(crane digest atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest)
+# Result: sha256:abc123...
+```
+
+### Step 2: Fetch Manifest Record from PDS
+
+```bash
+# Extract repository name from image reference
+REPO="myapp"
+
+# Query PDS for manifest record
+curl "https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.repo.listRecords?\
+  repo=did:plc:alice123&\
+  collection=io.atcr.manifest&\
+  limit=100" | jq -r '.records[] | select(.value.digest == "sha256:abc123...")'
+```
+
+Response includes:
+```json
+{
+  "uri": "at://did:plc:alice123/io.atcr.manifest/abc123",
+  "cid": "bafyreig7...",
+  "value": {
+    "$type": "io.atcr.manifest",
+    "repository": "myapp",
+    "digest": "sha256:abc123...",
+    ...
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3: Fetch Repository Commit
+
+```bash
+# Get current repository state
+curl "https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getRepo?\
+  did=did:plc:alice123" --output repo.car
+
+# Extract commit from CAR file (requires ATProto tools)
+# Commit includes signature over repository state
+```
+
+### Step 4: Resolve DID to Public Key
+
+```bash
+# Resolve DID document
+curl "https://plc.directory/did:plc:alice123" | jq -r '.verificationMethod[0].publicKeyMultibase'
+# Result: zQ3shokFTS3brHcDQrn82RUDfCZESWL1ZdCEJwekUDdo1Ko4Z
+```
+
+### Step 5: Verify Signature
+
+```go
+// Pseudocode for verification
+import "github.com/bluesky-social/indigo/atproto/crypto"
+
+// 1. Parse commit
+commit := parseCommitFromCAR(repoCAR)
+
+// 2. Extract signature bytes
+signature := commit.Sig
+
+// 3. Get bytes that were signed
+bytesToVerify := commit.Unsigned().BytesForSigning()
+
+// 4. Decode public key from multibase
+pubKey := decodeMultibasePublicKey(publicKeyMultibase)
+
+// 5. Verify ECDSA signature
+valid := crypto.VerifySignature(pubKey, bytesToVerify, signature)
+```
+
+### Step 6: Verify Manifest Integrity
+
+```bash
+# Verify the manifest record's CID matches the content
+# CID is content-addressed, so tampering changes the CID
+```
+
+## Bridging to OCI/ORAS Ecosystem
+
+While ATProto signatures are cryptographically sound, the OCI ecosystem doesn't understand ATProto records. To make signatures discoverable, we create **ORAS signature artifacts** that reference the ATProto signature.
+
+### ORAS Signature Artifact Format
+
+```json

+  "schemaVersion": 2,
+  "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json",

+    "io.atcr.atproto.keyId": "did:plc:alice123#atproto"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key elements:**
+
+1. **artifactType**: `application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json` - identifies this as an ATProto signature
+2. **subject**: Links to the image manifest being signed
+3. **layers**: Contains signature metadata blob
+4. **annotations**: Quick-access metadata for verification
+
+### Signature Metadata Blob
+
+The layer blob contains detailed verification information:
+
+```json
+{
+  "$type": "io.atcr.atproto.signature",
+  "version": "1.0",
+  "subject": {
+    "digest": "sha256:abc123...",
+    "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json"
+  },
+  "atproto": {
+    "did": "did:plc:alice123",
+    "handle": "alice.bsky.social",
+    "pdsEndpoint": "https://bsky.social",
+    "recordUri": "at://did:plc:alice123/io.atcr.manifest/abc123",
+    "recordCid": "bafyreig7...",
+    "commitCid": "bafyreih8...",
+    "commitRev": "3jzfkjqwdwa2a",
+    "signedAt": "2025-10-31T12:34:56.789Z"
+  },
+  "signature": {
+    "algorithm": "ECDSA-K256-SHA256",
+    "keyId": "did:plc:alice123#atproto",
+    "publicKeyMultibase": "zQ3shokFTS3brHcDQrn82RUDfCZESWL1ZdCEJwekUDdo1Ko4Z"
+  },
+  "verification": {
+    "method": "atproto-repo-commit",
+    "instructions": "Fetch repository commit from PDS and verify signature using public key from DID document"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Discovery via Referrers API
+
+ORAS artifacts are discoverable via the OCI Referrers API:
+
+```bash
+# Query for signature artifacts
+curl "https://atcr.io/v2/alice/myapp/referrers/sha256:abc123?\
+  artifactType=application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json"
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 2,
+  "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.index.v1+json",
+  "manifests": [
+    {
+      "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json",
+      "digest": "sha256:sig789...",
+      "size": 1234,
+      "artifactType": "application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json",
+      "annotations": {
+        "io.atcr.atproto.did": "did:plc:alice123",
+        "io.atcr.atproto.signedAt": "2025-10-31T12:34:56.789Z"
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Trust Model
+
+### What ATProto Signatures Prove
+
+✅ **Authenticity**: Image was published by the DID owner
+✅ **Integrity**: Image manifest hasn't been tampered with since signing
+✅ **Non-repudiation**: Only the DID owner could have created this signature
+✅ **Timestamp**: When the image was signed (commit timestamp)
+
+### What ATProto Signatures Don't Prove
+
+❌ **Safety**: Image doesn't contain vulnerabilities (use vulnerability scanning)
+❌ **DID trustworthiness**: Whether the DID owner is trustworthy (trust policy decision)
+❌ **Key security**: Private key wasn't compromised (same limitation as all PKI)
+❌ **PDS honesty**: PDS operator serves correct data (verify across multiple sources)
+
+### Trust Dependencies
+
+1. **DID Resolution**: Must correctly resolve DID to public key
+   - **Mitigation**: Use multiple resolvers, cache DID documents
+
+2. **PDS Availability**: Must query PDS to verify signatures
+   - **Mitigation**: Embed signature bytes in ORAS blob for offline verification
+
+3. **PDS Honesty**: PDS could serve fake/unsigned records
+   - **Mitigation**: Signature verification prevents this (can't forge signature)
+
+4. **Key Security**: User's private key could be compromised
+   - **Mitigation**: Key rotation via DID document updates, short-lived credentials
+
+5. **Algorithm Security**: ECDSA K-256 must remain secure
+   - **Status**: Well-studied, same as Bitcoin/Ethereum (widely trusted)
+
+### Comparison with Other Signing Systems
+
+| Aspect | ATProto Signatures | Cosign (Keyless) | Notary v2 |
+|--------|-------------------|------------------|-----------|
+| **Identity** | DID (decentralized) | OIDC (federated) | X.509 (PKI) |
+| **Key Management** | PDS signing keys | Ephemeral (Fulcio) | User-managed |
+| **Trust Anchor** | DID resolution | Fulcio CA + Rekor | Certificate chain |
+| **Transparency Log** | ATProto firehose | Rekor | Optional |
+| **Offline Verification** | Limited* | No | Yes |
+| **Decentralization** | High | Medium | Low |
+| **Complexity** | Low | High | Medium |
+
+*Can be improved by embedding signature bytes in ORAS blob
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+**Threat: Man-in-the-Middle Attack**
+- **Attack**: Intercept PDS queries, serve fake records
+- **Defense**: TLS for PDS communication, verify signature with public key from DID document
+- **Result**: Attacker can't forge signature without private key
+
+**Threat: Compromised PDS**
+- **Attack**: PDS operator serves unsigned/fake manifests
+- **Defense**: Signature verification fails (PDS can't sign without user's private key)
+- **Result**: Protected
+
+**Threat: Key Compromise**
+- **Attack**: Attacker steals user's ATProto signing key
+- **Defense**: Key rotation via DID document, revoke old keys
+- **Result**: Same as any PKI system (rotate keys quickly)
+
+**Threat: Replay Attack**
+- **Attack**: Replay old signed manifest to rollback to vulnerable version
+- **Defense**: Check commit timestamp, verify commit is in current repository DAG
+- **Result**: Protected (commits form immutable chain)
+
+**Threat: DID Takeover**
+- **Attack**: Attacker gains control of user's DID (rotation keys)
+- **Defense**: Monitor DID document changes, verify key history
+- **Result**: Serious but requires compromising rotation keys (harder than signing keys)
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### Automatic Signature Artifact Creation
+
+When AppView stores a manifest in a user's PDS:
+
+1. **Store manifest record** (existing behavior)
+2. **Get commit response** with commit CID and revision
+3. **Create ORAS signature artifact**:
+   - Build metadata blob (JSON)
+   - Upload blob to hold storage
+   - Create ORAS manifest with subject = image manifest
+   - Store ORAS manifest (creates referrer link)
+
+### Storage Location
+
+Signature artifacts follow the same pattern as SBOMs:
+- **Metadata blobs**: Stored in hold's blob storage
+- **ORAS manifests**: Stored in hold's embedded PDS
+- **Discovery**: Via OCI Referrers API
+
+### Verification Tools
+
+**Option 1: Custom CLI tool (`atcr-verify`)**
+```bash
+atcr-verify atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+# → Queries referrers API
+# → Fetches signature metadata
+# → Resolves DID → public key
+# → Queries PDS for commit
+# → Verifies signature
+```
+
+**Option 2: Shell script (curl + jq)**
+- See `docs/SIGNATURE_INTEGRATION.md` for examples
+
+**Option 3: Kubernetes admission controller**
+- Custom webhook that runs verification
+- Rejects pods with unsigned/invalid signatures
+
+## Benefits of ATProto Signatures
+
+### Compared to No Signing
+
+✅ **Cryptographic proof** of image authorship
+✅ **Tamper detection** for manifests
+✅ **Identity binding** via DIDs
+✅ **Audit trail** via ATProto repository history
+
+### Compared to Cosign/Notary
+
+✅ **No additional signing required** (already signed by PDS)
+✅ **Decentralized identity** (DIDs, not CAs)
+✅ **Simpler infrastructure** (no Fulcio, no Rekor, no TUF)
+✅ **Consistent with ATCR's architecture** (ATProto-native)
+✅ **Lower operational overhead** (reuse existing PDS infrastructure)
+
+### Trade-offs
+
+⚠️ **Custom verification tools required** (standard tools won't work)
+⚠️ **Online verification preferred** (need to query PDS)
+⚠️ **Different trust model** (trust DIDs, not CAs)
+⚠️ **Ecosystem maturity** (newer approach, less tooling)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Short-term
+
+1. **Offline verification**: Embed signature bytes in ORAS blob
+2. **Multi-PDS verification**: Check signature across multiple PDSs
+3. **Key rotation support**: Handle historical key validity
+
+### Medium-term
+
+4. **Timestamp service**: RFC 3161 timestamps for long-term validity
+5. **Multi-signature**: Require N signatures from M DIDs
+6. **Transparency log integration**: Record verifications in public log
+
+### Long-term
+
+7. **IANA registration**: Register `application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json`
+8. **Standards proposal**: ATProto signature spec to ORAS/OCI
+9. **Cross-ecosystem bridges**: Convert to Cosign/Notary formats
+
+## Conclusion
+
+ATCR images are already cryptographically signed through ATProto's repository commit system. By creating ORAS signature artifacts that reference these existing signatures, we can:
+
+- ✅ Make signatures discoverable to OCI tooling
+- ✅ Maintain ATProto as the source of truth
+- ✅ Provide verification tools for users and clusters
+- ✅ Avoid duplicating signing infrastructure
+
+This approach leverages ATProto's strengths (decentralized identity, built-in signing) while bridging to the OCI ecosystem through standard ORAS artifacts.

+# Development Workflow for ATCR
+
+## The Problem
+
+**Current development cycle with Docker:**
+1. Edit CSS, JS, template, or Go file
+2. Run `docker compose build` (rebuilds entire image)
+3. Run `docker compose up` (restart container)
+4. Wait **2-3 minutes** for changes to appear
+5. Test, find issue, repeat...
+
+**Why it's slow:**
+- All assets embedded via `embed.FS` at compile time
+- Multi-stage Docker build compiles everything from scratch
+- No development mode exists
+- Final image uses `scratch` base (no tools, no hot reload)
+
+## The Solution
+
+**Development setup combining:**
+1. **Dockerfile.devel** - Development-focused container (golang base, not scratch)
+2. **Volume mounts** - Live code editing (changes appear instantly in container)
+3. **DirFS** - Skip embed, read templates/CSS/JS from filesystem
+4. **Air** - Auto-rebuild on Go code changes
+
+**Results:**
+- CSS/JS/Template changes: **Instant** (0 seconds, just refresh browser)
+- Go code changes: **2-5 seconds** (vs 2-3 minutes)
+- Production builds: **Unchanged** (still optimized with embed.FS)
+

+
+### Change Scenarios
+
+#### Scenario 1: Edit CSS/JS/Templates
+```
+1. Edit pkg/appview/static/css/style.css in VSCode
+2. Save file
+3. Change appears in container via volume mount (instant)
+4. App uses os.DirFS → reads new file from disk (instant)
+5. Refresh browser → see changes
+```
+**Time:** **Instant** (0 seconds)
+**No rebuild, no restart!**
+
+#### Scenario 2: Edit Go Code
+```
+1. Edit pkg/appview/handlers/home.go
+2. Save file
+3. Air detects .go file change
+4. Air runs: go build -o ./tmp/atcr-appview ./cmd/appview
+5. Air kills old process and starts new binary
+6. App runs with new code
+```
+**Time:** **2-5 seconds**
+**Fast incremental build!**
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Step 1: Create Dockerfile.devel
+
+Create `Dockerfile.devel` in project root:
+
+```dockerfile
+# Development Dockerfile with hot reload support
+FROM golang:1.25.2-trixie
+
+# Install Air for hot reload
+RUN go install github.com/cosmtrek/air@latest
+
+# Install SQLite (required for CGO in ATCR)
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
+    sqlite3 \
+    libsqlite3-dev \
+    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+
+WORKDIR /app
+
+# Copy dependency files and download (cached layer)
+COPY go.mod go.sum ./
+RUN go mod download
+
+# Note: Source code comes from volume mount
+# (no COPY . . needed - that's the whole point!)
+
+# Air will handle building and running
+CMD ["air", "-c", ".air.toml"]
+```
+
+### Step 2: Create docker-compose.dev.yml
+
+Create `docker-compose.dev.yml` in project root:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  atcr-appview:
+    build:
+      context: .
+      dockerfile: Dockerfile.devel
+    volumes:
+      # Mount entire codebase (live editing)
+      - .:/app
+      # Cache Go modules (faster rebuilds)
+      - go-cache:/go/pkg/mod
+      # Persist SQLite database
+      - atcr-ui-dev:/var/lib/atcr
+    environment:
+      # Enable development mode (uses os.DirFS)
+      ATCR_DEV_MODE: "true"
+
+      # AppView configuration
+      ATCR_HTTP_ADDR: ":5000"
+      ATCR_BASE_URL: "http://localhost:5000"
+      ATCR_DEFAULT_HOLD_DID: "did:web:hold01.atcr.io"
+
+      # Database

+
+      # Auth
+      ATCR_AUTH_KEY_PATH: "/var/lib/atcr/auth/private-key.pem"
+
+      # UI
+      ATCR_UI_ENABLED: "true"
+
+      # Jetstream (optional)
+      # JETSTREAM_URL: "wss://jetstream2.us-east.bsky.network/subscribe"
+      # ATCR_BACKFILL_ENABLED: "false"
+    ports:
+      - "5000:5000"
+    networks:
+      - atcr-dev
+
+  # Add other services as needed (postgres, hold, etc)
+  # atcr-hold:
+  #   ...
+
+networks:
+  atcr-dev:
+    driver: bridge
+
+volumes:
+  go-cache:
+  atcr-ui-dev:
+```
+
+### Step 3: Create .air.toml
+
+Create `.air.toml` in project root:
+
+```toml
+# Air configuration for hot reload
+# https://github.com/cosmtrek/air
+
+root = "."
+testdata_dir = "testdata"
+tmp_dir = "tmp"
+
+[build]
+  # Arguments to pass to binary (AppView needs "serve")
+  args_bin = ["serve"]
+
+  # Where to output the built binary
+  bin = "./tmp/atcr-appview"
+
+  # Build command
+  cmd = "go build -o ./tmp/atcr-appview ./cmd/appview"
+
+  # Delay before rebuilding (ms) - debounce rapid saves
+  delay = 1000
+
+  # Directories to exclude from watching
+  exclude_dir = [
+    "tmp",
+    "vendor",
+    "bin",
+    ".git",
+    "node_modules",
+    "testdata"
+  ]
+
+  # Files to exclude from watching
+  exclude_file = []
+
+  # Regex patterns to exclude
+  exclude_regex = ["_test\\.go"]
+
+  # Don't rebuild if file content unchanged
+  exclude_unchanged = false
+
+  # Follow symlinks
+  follow_symlink = false
+
+  # Full command to run (leave empty to use cmd + bin)
+  full_bin = ""
+
+  # Directories to include (empty = all)
+  include_dir = []
+
+  # File extensions to watch
+  include_ext = ["go", "html", "css", "js"]
+
+  # Specific files to watch
+  include_file = []
+
+  # Delay before killing old process (s)
+  kill_delay = "0s"
+
+  # Log file for build errors
+  log = "build-errors.log"
+
+  # Use polling instead of fsnotify (for Docker/VM)
+  poll = false
+  poll_interval = 0
+
+  # Rerun binary if it exits
+  rerun = false
+  rerun_delay = 500
+
+  # Send interrupt signal instead of kill
+  send_interrupt = false
+
+  # Stop on build error
+  stop_on_error = false
+
+[color]
+  # Colorize output
+  app = ""
+  build = "yellow"
+  main = "magenta"
+  runner = "green"
+  watcher = "cyan"
+
+[log]
+  # Show only app logs (not build logs)
+  main_only = false
+
+  # Add timestamp to logs
+  time = false
+
+[misc]
+  # Clean tmp directory on exit
+  clean_on_exit = false
+
+[screen]
+  # Clear screen on rebuild
+  clear_on_rebuild = false
+
+  # Keep scrollback
+  keep_scroll = true
+```
+
+### Step 4: Modify pkg/appview/ui.go
+
+Add conditional filesystem loading to `pkg/appview/ui.go`:
+
+```go
+package appview
+
+import (
+	"embed"
+	"html/template"
+	"io/fs"
+	"log"
+	"net/http"
+	"os"
+)
+
+// Embedded assets (used in production)
+//go:embed templates/**/*.html
+var embeddedTemplatesFS embed.FS
+
+//go:embed static
+var embeddedStaticFS embed.FS
+
+// Actual filesystems used at runtime (conditional)
+var templatesFS fs.FS
+var staticFS fs.FS
+
+func init() {
+	// Development mode: read from filesystem for instant updates
+	if os.Getenv("ATCR_DEV_MODE") == "true" {
+		log.Println("🔧 DEV MODE: Using filesystem for templates and static assets")
+		templatesFS = os.DirFS("pkg/appview/templates")
+		staticFS = os.DirFS("pkg/appview/static")
+	} else {
+		// Production mode: use embedded assets
+		log.Println("📦 PRODUCTION MODE: Using embedded assets")
+		templatesFS = embeddedTemplatesFS
+		staticFS = embeddedStaticFS
+	}
+}
+
+// Templates returns parsed HTML templates
+func Templates() *template.Template {
+	tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(templatesFS, "templates/**/*.html")
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Failed to parse templates: %v", err)
+	}
+	return tmpl
+}
+
+// StaticHandler returns a handler for static files
+func StaticHandler() http.Handler {
+	sub, err := fs.Sub(staticFS, "static")
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Failed to create static sub-filesystem: %v", err)
+	}
+	return http.FileServer(http.FS(sub))
+}
+```
+
+**Important:** Update the `Templates()` function to NOT cache templates in dev mode:
+
+```go
+// Templates returns parsed HTML templates
+func Templates() *template.Template {
+	// In dev mode, reparse templates on every request (instant updates)
+	// In production, this could be cached
+	tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(templatesFS, "templates/**/*.html")
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatalf("Failed to parse templates: %v", err)
+	}
+	return tmpl
+}
+```
+
+If you're caching templates, wrap it with a dev mode check:
+
+```go
+var templateCache *template.Template
+
+func Templates() *template.Template {
+	// Development: reparse every time (instant updates)
+	if os.Getenv("ATCR_DEV_MODE") == "true" {
+		tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(templatesFS, "templates/**/*.html")
+		if err != nil {
+			log.Printf("Template parse error: %v", err)
+			return template.New("error")
+		}
+		return tmpl
+	}
+
+	// Production: use cached templates
+	if templateCache == nil {
+		tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(templatesFS, "templates/**/*.html")
+		if err != nil {
+			log.Fatalf("Failed to parse templates: %v", err)
+		}
+		templateCache = tmpl
+	}
+	return templateCache
+}
+```
+
+### Step 5: Add to .gitignore
+
+Add Air's temporary directory to `.gitignore`:
+
+```
+# Air hot reload
+tmp/
+build-errors.log
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting Development Environment
+
+```bash
+# Build and start dev container
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build
+
+# Or run in background
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# View logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs -f atcr-appview
+```
+
+You should see Air starting:
+
+```
+atcr-appview  | 🔧 DEV MODE: Using filesystem for templates and static assets
+atcr-appview  |
+atcr-appview  |   __    _   ___
+atcr-appview  |  / /\  | | | |_)
+atcr-appview  | /_/--\ |_| |_| \_ , built with Go
+atcr-appview  |
+atcr-appview  | watching .
+atcr-appview  | !exclude tmp
+atcr-appview  | building...
+atcr-appview  | running...
+```
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+#### 1. Edit Templates/CSS/JS (Instant Updates)
+
+```bash
+# Edit any template, CSS, or JS file
+vim pkg/appview/templates/pages/home.html
+vim pkg/appview/static/css/style.css
+vim pkg/appview/static/js/app.js
+
+# Save file → changes appear instantly
+# Just refresh browser (Cmd+R / Ctrl+R)
+```
+
+**No rebuild, no restart!** Air might restart the app, but it's instant since no compilation is needed.
+
+#### 2. Edit Go Code (Fast Rebuild)
+
+```bash
+# Edit any Go file
+vim pkg/appview/handlers/home.go
+
+# Save file → Air detects change
+# Air output shows:
+# building...
+# build successful in 2.3s
+# restarting...
+
+# Refresh browser to see changes
+```
+
+**2-5 second rebuild** instead of 2-3 minutes!
+
+### Stopping Development Environment
+
+```bash
+# Stop containers
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down
+
+# Stop and remove volumes (fresh start)
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down -v
+```
+
+## Production Builds
+
+**Production builds are completely unchanged:**
+
+```bash
+# Production uses normal Dockerfile (embed.FS, scratch base)
+docker compose build
+
+# Or specific service
+docker compose build atcr-appview
+
+# Run production
+docker compose up
+```
+
+**Why it works:**
+- Production doesn't set `ATCR_DEV_MODE=true`
+- `ui.go` defaults to embedded assets when env var is unset
+- Production Dockerfile still uses multi-stage build to scratch
+- No development dependencies in production image
+
+## Comparison
+
+| Change Type | Before (docker compose) | After (dev setup) | Improvement |
+|-------------|------------------------|-------------------|-------------|
+| Edit CSS | 2-3 minutes | **Instant (0s)** | ♾️x faster |
+| Edit JS | 2-3 minutes | **Instant (0s)** | ♾️x faster |
+| Edit Template | 2-3 minutes | **Instant (0s)** | ♾️x faster |
+| Edit Go Code | 2-3 minutes | **2-5 seconds** | 24-90x faster |
+| Production Build | Same | **Same** | No change |
+
+## Advanced: Local Development (No Docker)
+
+For even faster development, run locally without Docker:
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export ATCR_DEV_MODE=true
+export ATCR_HTTP_ADDR=:5000
+export ATCR_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5000
+export ATCR_DEFAULT_HOLD_DID=did:web:hold01.atcr.io
+export ATCR_UI_DATABASE_PATH=/tmp/atcr-ui.db
+export ATCR_AUTH_KEY_PATH=/tmp/atcr-auth-key.pem
+export ATCR_UI_ENABLED=true
+
+# Or use .env file
+source .env.appview
+
+# Run with Air
+air -c .air.toml
+
+# Or run directly (no hot reload)
+go run ./cmd/appview serve
+```
+
+**Advantages:**
+- Even faster (no Docker overhead)
+- Native debugging with delve
+- Direct filesystem access
+- Full IDE integration
+
+**Disadvantages:**
+- Need to manage dependencies locally (SQLite, etc)
+- May differ from production environment
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Air Not Rebuilding
+
+**Problem:** Air doesn't detect changes
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Check if Air is actually running
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs atcr-appview
+
+# Check .air.toml include_ext includes your file type
+# Default: ["go", "html", "css", "js"]
+
+# Restart container
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml restart atcr-appview
+```
+
+### Templates Not Updating
+
+**Problem:** Template changes don't appear
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Check ATCR_DEV_MODE is set
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml exec atcr-appview env | grep DEV_MODE
+
+# Should output: ATCR_DEV_MODE=true
+
+# Check templates aren't cached (see Step 4 above)
+# Templates() should reparse in dev mode
+```
+
+### Go Build Failing
+
+**Problem:** Air shows build errors
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Check build logs
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml logs atcr-appview
+
+# Or check build-errors.log in container
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml exec atcr-appview cat build-errors.log
+
+# Fix the Go error, save file, Air will retry
+```
+
+### Volume Mount Not Working
+
+**Problem:** Changes don't appear in container
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Verify volume mount
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml exec atcr-appview ls -la /app
+
+# Should show your source files
+
+# On Windows/Mac, check Docker Desktop file sharing settings
+# Settings → Resources → File Sharing → add project directory
+```
+
+### Permission Errors
+
+**Problem:** Cannot write to /var/lib/atcr
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# In Dockerfile.devel, add:
+RUN mkdir -p /var/lib/atcr && chmod 777 /var/lib/atcr
+
+# Or use named volumes (already in docker-compose.dev.yml)
+volumes:
+  - atcr-ui-dev:/var/lib/atcr
+```
+
+### Slow Builds Even with Air
+
+**Problem:** Air rebuilds slowly
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+# Use Go module cache volume (already in docker-compose.dev.yml)
+volumes:
+  - go-cache:/go/pkg/mod
+
+# Increase Air delay to debounce rapid saves
+# In .air.toml:
+delay = 2000  # 2 seconds
+
+# Or check if CGO is slowing builds
+# AppView needs CGO for SQLite, but you can try:
+CGO_ENABLED=0 go build  # (won't work for ATCR, but good to know)
+```
+
+## Tips & Tricks
+
+### Browser Auto-Reload (LiveReload)
+
+Add LiveReload for automatic browser refresh:
+
+```bash
+# Install browser extension
+# Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/livereload
+# Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/livereload-web-extension/
+
+# Add livereload to .air.toml (future Air feature)
+# Or use a separate tool like browsersync
+```
+
+### Database Resets
+
+Development database is in a named volume:
+
+```bash
+# Reset database (fresh start)
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down -v
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
+
+# Or delete specific volume
+docker volume rm atcr_atcr-ui-dev
+```
+
+### Multiple Environments
+
+Run dev and production side-by-side:
+
+```bash
+# Development on port 5000
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
+
+# Production on port 5001
+docker compose up -d
+
+# Now you can compare behavior
+```
+
+### Debugging with Delve
+
+Add delve to Dockerfile.devel:
+
+```dockerfile
+RUN go install github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@latest
+
+# Change CMD to use delve
+CMD ["dlv", "debug", "./cmd/appview", "--headless", "--listen=:2345", "--api-version=2", "--accept-multiclient", "--", "serve"]
+```
+
+Then connect with VSCode or GoLand.
+
+## Summary
+
+**Development Setup (One-Time):**
+1. Create `Dockerfile.devel`
+2. Create `docker-compose.dev.yml`
+3. Create `.air.toml`
+4. Modify `pkg/appview/ui.go` for conditional DirFS
+5. Add `tmp/` to `.gitignore`
+
+**Daily Development:**
+```bash
+# Start
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up
+
+# Edit files in your editor
+# Changes appear instantly (CSS/JS/templates)
+# Or in 2-5 seconds (Go code)
+
+# Stop
+docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml down
+```
+
+**Production (Unchanged):**
+```bash
+docker compose build
+docker compose up
+```
+
+**Result:** 100x faster development iteration! 🚀

+# Hold-as-Certificate-Authority Architecture
+
+## ⚠️ Important Notice
+
+This document describes an **optional enterprise feature** for X.509 PKI compliance. The hold-as-CA approach introduces **centralization trade-offs** that contradict ATProto's decentralized philosophy.
+
+**Default Recommendation:** Use [plugin-based integration](./INTEGRATION_STRATEGY.md) instead. Only implement hold-as-CA if your organization has specific X.509 PKI compliance requirements.
+
+## Overview
+
+The hold-as-CA architecture allows ATCR to generate Notation/Notary v2-compatible signatures by having hold services act as Certificate Authorities that issue X.509 certificates for users.
+
+### The Problem
+
+- **ATProto signatures** use K-256 (secp256k1) elliptic curve
+- **Notation** only supports P-256, P-384, P-521 elliptic curves
+- **Cannot convert** K-256 signatures to P-256 (different cryptographic curves)
+- **Must re-sign** with P-256 keys for Notation compatibility
+
+### The Solution
+
+Hold services act as trusted Certificate Authorities (CAs):
+
+1. User pushes image → Manifest signed by PDS with K-256 (ATProto)
+2. Hold verifies ATProto signature is valid
+3. Hold generates ephemeral P-256 key pair for user
+4. Hold issues X.509 certificate to user's DID
+5. Hold signs manifest with P-256 key
+6. Hold creates Notation signature envelope (JWS format)
+7. Stores both ATProto and Notation signatures
+
+**Result:** Images have two signatures:
+- **ATProto signature** (K-256) - Decentralized, DID-based
+- **Notation signature** (P-256) - Centralized, X.509 PKI
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Certificate Chain
+
+```
+Hold Root CA Certificate (self-signed, P-256)
+  └── User Certificate (issued to DID, P-256)
+      └── Image Manifest Signature
+```
+
+**Hold Root CA:**
+```
+Subject: CN=ATCR Hold CA - did:web:hold01.atcr.io
+Issuer: Self (self-signed)
+Key Usage: Digital Signature, Certificate Sign
+Basic Constraints: CA=true, pathLen=1
+Algorithm: ECDSA P-256
+Validity: 10 years
+```
+
+**User Certificate:**
+```
+Subject: CN=did:plc:alice123
+SAN: URI:did:plc:alice123
+Issuer: Hold Root CA
+Key Usage: Digital Signature
+Extended Key Usage: Code Signing
+Algorithm: ECDSA P-256
+Validity: 24 hours (short-lived)
+```

+
+## Trust Model
+
+### Centralization Analysis
+
+**ATProto Model (Decentralized):**
+- Each PDS is independent
+- User controls which PDS to use
+- Trust user's DID, not specific infrastructure
+- PDS compromise affects only that PDS's users
+- Multiple PDSs provide redundancy
+
+**Hold-as-CA Model (Centralized):**
+- Hold acts as single Certificate Authority
+- All users must trust hold's CA certificate
+- Hold compromise = attacker can issue certificates for ANY user
+- Hold becomes single point of failure
+- Users depend on hold operator honesty
+
+### What Hold Vouches For
+
+When hold issues a certificate, it attests:
+
+✅ **"I verified that [DID] signed this manifest with ATProto"**
+- Hold validated ATProto signature
+- Hold confirmed signature matches user's DID
+- Hold checked signature at specific time
+
+❌ **"This image is safe"**
+- Hold does NOT audit image contents
+- Certificate ≠ vulnerability scan
+- Signature ≠ security guarantee
+
+❌ **"I control this DID"**
+- Hold does NOT control user's DID
+- DID ownership is independent
+- Hold cannot revoke DIDs
+
+### Threat Model
+
+**Scenario 1: Hold Private Key Compromise**
+
+**Attack:**
+- Attacker steals hold's CA private key
+- Can issue certificates for any DID
+- Can sign malicious images as any user
+
+**Impact:**
+- **CRITICAL** - All users affected
+- Attacker can impersonate any user
+- All signatures become untrustworthy
+
+**Detection:**
+- Certificate Transparency logs (if implemented)
+- Unusual certificate issuance patterns
+- Users report unexpected signatures
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Store CA key in Hardware Security Module (HSM)
+- Strict access controls
+- Audit logging
+- Regular key rotation
+
+**Recovery:**
+- Revoke compromised CA certificate
+- Generate new CA certificate
+- Re-issue all active certificates
+- Notify all users
+- Update trust stores
+
+---
+
+**Scenario 2: Malicious Hold Operator**
+
+**Attack:**
+- Hold operator issues certificates without verifying ATProto signatures
+- Hold operator signs malicious images
+- Hold operator backdates certificates
+
+**Impact:**
+- **HIGH** - Trust model broken
+- Users receive signed malicious images
+- Difficult to detect without ATProto cross-check
+
+**Detection:**
+- Compare Notation signature timestamp with ATProto commit time
+- Verify ATProto signature exists independently
+- Monitor hold's signing patterns
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Audit trail linking certificates to ATProto signatures
+- Public transparency logs
+- Multi-signature requirements
+- Periodically verify ATProto signatures
+
+**Recovery:**
+- Identify malicious certificates
+- Revoke hold's CA trust
+- Switch to different hold
+- Re-verify all images
+
+---
+
+**Scenario 3: Certificate Theft**
+
+**Attack:**
+- Attacker steals issued user certificate + private key
+- Uses it to sign malicious images
+
+**Impact:**
+- **LOW-MEDIUM** - Limited scope
+- Affects only specific user/image
+- Short validity period (24 hours)
+
+**Detection:**
+- Unexpected signature timestamps
+- Images signed from unknown locations
+
+**Mitigation:**
+- Short certificate validity (24 hours)
+- Ephemeral keys (not stored long-term)
+- Certificate revocation if detected
+
+**Recovery:**
+- Wait for certificate expiration (24 hours)
+- Revoke specific certificate
+- Investigate compromise source
+
+## Certificate Management
+
+### Expiration Strategy
+
+**Short-Lived Certificates (24 hours):**
+
+**Pros:**
+- ✅ Minimal revocation infrastructure needed
+- ✅ Compromise window is tiny
+- ✅ Automatic cleanup
+- ✅ Lower CRL/OCSP overhead
+
+**Cons:**
+- ❌ Old images become unverifiable quickly
+- ❌ Requires re-signing for historical verification
+- ❌ Storage: multiple signatures for same image
+
+**Solution: On-Demand Re-Signing**
+```
+User pulls old image → Notation verification fails (expired cert)
+→ User requests re-signing: POST /xrpc/io.atcr.hold.reSignManifest
+→ Hold verifies ATProto signature still valid
+→ Hold issues new certificate (24 hours)
+→ Hold creates new Notation signature
+→ User can verify with fresh certificate
+```
+
+### Revocation
+
+**Certificate Revocation List (CRL):**
+```
+Hold publishes CRL at: https://hold01.atcr.io/ca.crl
+
+Notation configured to check CRL:
+{
+  "trustPolicies": [{
+    "name": "atcr-images",
+    "signatureVerification": {
+      "verificationLevel": "strict",
+      "override": {
+        "revocationValidation": "strict"
+      }
+    }
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+**OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol):**
+- Hold runs OCSP responder: `https://hold01.atcr.io/ocsp`
+- Real-time certificate status checks
+- Lower overhead than CRL downloads
+
+**Revocation Triggers:**
+- Key compromise detected
+- Malicious signing detected
+- User request
+- DID ownership change
+
+### CA Key Rotation
+
+**Rotation Procedure:**
+
+1. **Generate new CA key pair**
+2. **Create new CA certificate**
+3. **Cross-sign old CA with new CA** (transition period)
+4. **Distribute new CA certificate** to all users
+5. **Begin issuing with new CA** for new signatures
+6. **Grace period** (30 days): Accept both old and new CA
+7. **Retire old CA** after grace period
+
+**Frequency:** Every 2-3 years (longer than short-lived certs)
+
+## Trust Store Distribution
+
+### Problem
+
+Users must add hold's CA certificate to their Notation trust store for verification to work.
+
+### Manual Distribution
+
+```bash
+# 1. Download hold's CA certificate
+curl https://hold01.atcr.io/ca.crt -o hold01-ca.crt
+
+# 2. Verify fingerprint (out-of-band)
+openssl x509 -in hold01-ca.crt -fingerprint -noout
+# Compare with published fingerprint
+
+# 3. Add to Notation trust store
+notation cert add --type ca --store atcr-holds hold01-ca.crt
+```
+
+### Automated Distribution
+
+**ATCR CLI tool:**
+```bash
+atcr trust add hold01.atcr.io
+# → Fetches CA certificate
+# → Verifies via HTTPS + DNSSEC
+# → Adds to Notation trust store
+# → Configures trust policy
+
+atcr trust list
+# → Shows trusted holds with fingerprints
+```
+
+### System-Wide Trust
+
+**For enterprise deployments:**
+
+**Debian/Ubuntu:**
+```bash
+# Install CA certificate system-wide
+cp hold01-ca.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/atcr-hold01.crt
+update-ca-certificates
+```
+
+**RHEL/CentOS:**
+```bash
+cp hold01-ca.crt /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
+update-ca-trust
+```
+
+**Container images:**
+```dockerfile
+FROM ubuntu:22.04
+COPY hold01-ca.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
+RUN update-ca-certificates
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Hold Service
+
+**Environment variables:**
+```bash
+# Enable co-signing feature
+HOLD_COSIGN_ENABLED=true
+
+# CA certificate and key paths
+HOLD_CA_CERT_PATH=/var/lib/atcr/hold/ca-certificate.pem
+HOLD_CA_KEY_PATH=/var/lib/atcr/hold/ca-private-key.pem
+
+# Certificate validity
+HOLD_CERT_VALIDITY_HOURS=24
+
+# OCSP responder
+HOLD_OCSP_ENABLED=true
+HOLD_OCSP_URL=https://hold01.atcr.io/ocsp
+
+# CRL distribution
+HOLD_CRL_ENABLED=true
+HOLD_CRL_URL=https://hold01.atcr.io/ca.crl
+```
+
+### Notation Trust Policy
+
+```json
+{
+  "version": "1.0",
+  "trustPolicies": [{
+    "name": "atcr-images",
+    "registryScopes": ["atcr.io/*/*"],
+    "signatureVerification": {
+      "level": "strict",
+      "override": {
+        "revocationValidation": "strict"
+      }
+    },
+    "trustStores": ["ca:atcr-holds"],
+    "trustedIdentities": [
+      "x509.subject: CN=did:plc:*",
+      "x509.subject: CN=did:web:*"
+    ]
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+## When to Use Hold-as-CA
+
+### ✅ Use When
+
+**Enterprise X.509 PKI Compliance:**
+- Organization requires standard X.509 certificates
+- Existing security policies mandate PKI
+- Audit requirements for certificate chains
+- Integration with existing CA infrastructure
+
+**Tool Compatibility:**
+- Must use standard Notation without plugins
+- Cannot deploy custom verification tools
+- Existing tooling expects X.509 signatures
+
+**Centralized Trust Acceptable:**
+- Organization already uses centralized trust model
+- Hold operator is internal/trusted team
+- Centralization risk is acceptable trade-off
+
+### ❌ Don't Use When
+
+**Default Deployment:**
+- Most users should use [plugin-based approach](./INTEGRATION_STRATEGY.md)
+- Plugins maintain decentralization
+- Plugins reuse existing ATProto signatures
+
+**Small Teams / Startups:**
+- Certificate management overhead too high
+- Don't need X.509 compliance
+- Prefer simpler architecture
+
+**Maximum Decentralization Required:**
+- Cannot accept hold as single trust point
+- Must maintain pure ATProto model
+- Centralization contradicts project goals
+
+## Comparison: Hold-as-CA vs. Plugins
+
+| Aspect | Hold-as-CA | Plugin Approach |
+|--------|------------|----------------|
+| **Standard compliance** | ✅ Full X.509/PKI | ⚠️ Custom verification |
+| **Tool compatibility** | ✅ Notation works unchanged | ❌ Requires plugin install |
+| **Decentralization** | ❌ Centralized (hold CA) | ✅ Decentralized (DIDs) |
+| **ATProto alignment** | ❌ Against philosophy | ✅ ATProto-native |
+| **Signature reuse** | ❌ Must re-sign (P-256) | ✅ Reuses ATProto (K-256) |
+| **Certificate mgmt** | 🔴 High overhead | 🟢 None |
+| **Trust distribution** | 🔴 Must distribute CA cert | 🟢 DID resolution |
+| **Hold compromise** | 🔴 All users affected | 🟢 Metadata only |
+| **Operational cost** | 🔴 High | 🟢 Low |
+| **Use case** | Enterprise PKI | General purpose |
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Default Approach: Plugins
+
+For most deployments, use plugin-based verification:
+- **Ratify plugin** for Kubernetes
+- **OPA Gatekeeper provider** for policy enforcement
+- **Containerd verifier** for runtime checks
+- **atcr-verify CLI** for general purpose
+
+See [Integration Strategy](./INTEGRATION_STRATEGY.md) for details.
+
+### Optional: Hold-as-CA for Enterprise
+
+Only implement hold-as-CA if you have specific requirements:
+- Enterprise X.509 PKI mandates
+- Cannot use plugins (restricted environments)
+- Accept centralization trade-off
+
+**Implement as opt-in feature:**
+```bash
+# Users explicitly enable co-signing
+docker push atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest --sign=notation
+
+# Or via environment variable
+export ATCR_ENABLE_COSIGN=true
+docker push atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+```
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+**If implementing hold-as-CA:**
+
+1. **Store CA key in HSM** - Never on filesystem
+2. **Audit all certificate issuance** - Log every cert
+3. **Public transparency log** - Publish all certificates
+4. **Short certificate validity** - 24 hours max
+5. **Monitor unusual patterns** - Alert on anomalies
+6. **Regular CA key rotation** - Every 2-3 years
+7. **Cross-check ATProto** - Verify both signatures match
+8. **Incident response plan** - Prepare for compromise

+
+## Integration Approaches
+
+### Approach 1: Plugin-Based (RECOMMENDED) ⭐
+
+**Best for:** Kubernetes, standard tooling, production deployments
+
+Integrate through plugin systems of existing tools:
+
+#### Ratify Verifier Plugin
+- **Use case:** Kubernetes admission control via Gatekeeper
+- **Effort:** 2-3 weeks to build
+- **Maturity:** CNCF Sandbox project, growing adoption
+- **Benefits:**
+  - ✅ Standard plugin interface
+  - ✅ Works with existing Ratify deployments
+  - ✅ Policy-based enforcement
+  - ✅ Multi-verifier support (can combine with Notation, Cosign)
+
+**Implementation:**
+```go
+// Ratify plugin interface
+type ReferenceVerifier interface {
+    VerifyReference(
+        ctx context.Context,
+        subjectRef common.Reference,
+        referenceDesc ocispecs.ReferenceDescriptor,
+        store referrerStore.ReferrerStore,
+    ) (VerifierResult, error)
+}
+```
+
+**Deployment:**
+```yaml
+apiVersion: config.ratify.deislabs.io/v1beta1
+kind: Verifier
+metadata:
+  name: atcr-verifier
+spec:
+  name: atproto
+  artifactType: application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json
+  parameters:
+    trustedDIDs:
+      - did:plc:alice123
+```
+
+See [Ratify Integration Guide](./SIGNATURE_INTEGRATION.md#ratify-plugin)
+
+---
+
+#### OPA Gatekeeper External Provider
+- **Use case:** Kubernetes admission control with OPA policies
+- **Effort:** 2-3 weeks to build
+- **Maturity:** Very stable, widely adopted
+- **Benefits:**
+  - ✅ Rego-based policies (flexible)
+  - ✅ External data provider API (standard)
+  - ✅ Can reuse existing Gatekeeper deployments
+
+**Implementation:**
+```go
+// External data provider
+type Provider struct {
+    verifier *atproto.Verifier
+}
+
+func (p *Provider) Provide(ctx context.Context, req ProviderRequest) (*ProviderResponse, error) {
+    image := req.Keys["image"]
+    result, err := p.verifier.Verify(ctx, image)
+    return &ProviderResponse{
+        Data: map[string]bool{"verified": result.Verified},
+    }, nil
+}
+```
+
+**Policy:**
+```rego
+package verify
+
+violation[{"msg": msg}] {
+  container := input.review.object.spec.containers[_]
+  startswith(container.image, "atcr.io/")
+
+  response := external_data({
+    "provider": "atcr-verifier",
+    "keys": ["image"],
+    "values": [container.image]
+  })
+
+  response.verified != true
+  msg := sprintf("Image %v has no valid ATProto signature", [container.image])
+}
+```
+
+See [Gatekeeper Integration Guide](./SIGNATURE_INTEGRATION.md#opa-gatekeeper-external-provider)
+
+---
+
+#### Containerd 2.0 Image Verifier Plugin
+- **Use case:** Runtime verification at image pull time
+- **Effort:** 1-2 weeks to build
+- **Maturity:** New in Containerd 2.0 (Nov 2024)
+- **Benefits:**
+  - ✅ Runtime enforcement (pull-time verification)
+  - ✅ Works for Docker, nerdctl, ctr
+  - ✅ Transparent to users
+  - ✅ No Kubernetes required
+
+**Limitation:** CRI plugin integration still maturing
+
+**Implementation:**
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# /usr/local/bin/containerd-verifiers/atcr-verifier
+# Binary called by containerd on image pull
+
+# Containerd passes image info via stdin
+read -r INPUT
+
+IMAGE=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.reference')
+DIGEST=$(echo "$INPUT" | jq -r '.descriptor.digest')
+
+# Verify signature
+if atcr-verify "$IMAGE@$DIGEST" --quiet; then
+  exit 0  # Verified
+else
+  exit 1  # Failed
+fi
+```
+
+**Configuration:**
+```toml
+# /etc/containerd/config.toml
+[plugins."io.containerd.image-verifier.v1.bindir"]
+  bin_dir = "/usr/local/bin/containerd-verifiers"
+  max_verifiers = 5
+  per_verifier_timeout = "10s"
+```
+
+See [Containerd Integration Guide](./SIGNATURE_INTEGRATION.md#containerd-20)
+
+---
+
+### Approach 2: CLI Tool (RECOMMENDED) ⭐
+
+**Best for:** CI/CD, scripts, general-purpose verification
+
+Use `atcr-verify` CLI tool directly in workflows:
+
+#### Command-Line Verification
+```bash
+# Basic verification
+atcr-verify atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+
+# With trust policy
+atcr-verify atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest --policy trust-policy.yaml
+
+# JSON output for scripting
+atcr-verify atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest --output json
+
+# Quiet mode for exit codes
+atcr-verify atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest --quiet && echo "Verified"
+```
+
+#### CI/CD Integration
+
+**GitHub Actions:**
+```yaml
+- name: Verify image
+  run: atcr-verify ${{ env.IMAGE }} --policy .github/trust-policy.yaml
+```
+
+**GitLab CI:**
+```yaml
+verify:
+  image: atcr.io/atcr/verify:latest
+  script:
+    - atcr-verify ${IMAGE} --policy trust-policy.yaml
+```
+
+**Universal Container:**
+```bash
+docker run --rm atcr.io/atcr/verify:latest verify IMAGE
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Works everywhere (not just Kubernetes)
+- ✅ Simple integration (single binary)
+- ✅ No plugin installation required
+- ✅ Offline mode support
+
+See [atcr-verify CLI Documentation](./ATCR_VERIFY_CLI.md)
+
+---
+
+### Approach 3: External Services
+
+**Best for:** Custom admission controllers, API-based verification
+
+Build verification as a service that tools can call:
+
+#### Webhook Service
+```go
+// HTTP endpoint for verification
+func (h *Handler) VerifyImage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
+    image := r.URL.Query().Get("image")
+
+    result, err := h.verifier.Verify(r.Context(), image)
+    if err != nil {
+        http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
+        return
+    }
+
+    json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(map[string]interface{}{
+        "verified": result.Verified,
+        "did": result.Signature.DID,
+        "signedAt": result.Signature.SignedAt,
+    })
+}
+```
+
+#### Usage from Kyverno
+```yaml
+verifyImages:
+- imageReferences:
+  - "atcr.io/*/*"
+  attestors:
+  - entries:
+    - api:
+        url: http://atcr-verify.kube-system/verify?image={{ image }}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- ✅ Flexible integration
+- ✅ Centralized verification logic
+- ✅ Caching and rate limiting
+- ✅ Can add additional checks (vulnerability scanning, etc.)
+
+---
+
+### Approach 4: Hold-as-CA (OPTIONAL, ENTERPRISE ONLY)
+
+**Best for:** Enterprise X.509 PKI compliance requirements
+
+⚠️ **WARNING:** This approach introduces centralization trade-offs. Only use if you have specific X.509 compliance requirements.
+
+Hold services act as Certificate Authorities that issue X.509 certificates for users, enabling standard Notation verification.
+
+**When to use:**
+- Enterprise requires standard X.509 PKI
+- Cannot deploy custom plugins
+- Accept centralization trade-off for tool compatibility
+
+**When NOT to use:**
+- Default deployments (use plugins instead)
+- Maximum decentralization required
+- Don't need X.509 compliance
+
+See [Hold-as-CA Architecture](./HOLD_AS_CA.md) for complete details and security implications.

+
+#### Use OPA Gatekeeper Provider if:
+- ✅ Already using Gatekeeper
+- ✅ Want Rego-based policies
+- ✅ Need flexible policy logic
+
+#### Use Ratify Plugin if:
+- ✅ Using Ratify (or planning to)
+- ✅ Want standard plugin interface
+- ✅ Need multi-verifier support (Notation + Cosign + ATProto)
+
+#### Use atcr-verify CLI if:
+- ✅ CI/CD pipelines
+- ✅ Local development
+- ✅ Non-Kubernetes environments
+- ✅ Want simple integration
+
+#### Use Containerd Plugin if:
+- ✅ Need runtime enforcement
+- ✅ Want pull-time verification
+- ✅ Using Containerd 2.0+
+
+#### Use Hold-as-CA if:
+- ⚠️ Enterprise X.509 PKI compliance required
+- ⚠️ Cannot deploy plugins
+- ⚠️ Accept centralization trade-off
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Start Simple
+
+Begin with CLI tool integration in CI/CD:
+```bash
+# Add to .github/workflows/deploy.yml
+- run: atcr-verify $IMAGE --policy .github/trust-policy.yaml
+```
+
+### 2. Define Trust Policies
+
+Create trust policies early:
+```yaml
+# trust-policy.yaml
+policies:
+  - name: production
+    scope: "atcr.io/*/prod-*"
+    require:
+      signature: true
+      trustedDIDs: [did:plc:devops-team]
+    action: enforce
+```
+
+### 3. Progressive Rollout
+
+1. **Week 1:** Add verification to CI/CD (audit mode)
+2. **Week 2:** Enforce in CI/CD
+3. **Week 3:** Add Kubernetes admission control (audit mode)
+4. **Week 4:** Enforce in Kubernetes
+
+### 4. Monitor and Alert
+
+Track verification metrics:
+- Verification success/failure rates
+- Policy violations
+- Signature coverage (% of images signed)
+
+### 5. Plan for Key Rotation
+
+- Document DID key rotation procedures
+- Test key rotation in non-production
+- Monitor for unexpected key changes
+
+---
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Pattern 1: Multi-Layer Defense
+
+```
+1. CI/CD verification (atcr-verify)
+   ↓ (blocks unsigned images from being pushed)
+2. Kubernetes admission (Gatekeeper/Ratify)
+   ↓ (blocks unsigned images from running)
+3. Runtime verification (Containerd plugin)
+   ↓ (blocks unsigned images from being pulled)
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Trust Policy Inheritance
+
+```yaml
+# Global policy
+trustedDIDs:
+  - did:plc:security-team  # Always trusted
+
+# Environment-specific policies
+staging:
+  trustedDIDs:
+    - did:plc:developers  # Additional trust for staging
+
+production:
+  trustedDIDs: []  # Only global trust (security-team)
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Offline Verification
+
+```bash
+# Build environment (online)
+atcr-verify export $IMAGE -o bundle.json
+
+# Air-gapped environment (offline)
+atcr-verify $IMAGE --offline --bundle bundle.json
+```
+
+---
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+### From Docker Content Trust (DCT)
+
+DCT is deprecated. Migrate to ATCR signatures:
+
+**Old (DCT):**
+```bash
+export DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1
+docker push myimage:latest
+```
+
+**New (ATCR):**
+```bash
+# Signatures created automatically on push
+docker push atcr.io/myorg/myimage:latest
+
+# Verify in CI/CD
+atcr-verify atcr.io/myorg/myimage:latest
+```
+
+### From Cosign
+
+Cosign and ATCR signatures can coexist:
+
+**Dual signing:**
+```bash
+# Push to ATCR (ATProto signature automatic)
+docker push atcr.io/myorg/myimage:latest
+
+# Also sign with Cosign (if needed)
+cosign sign atcr.io/myorg/myimage:latest
+```
+
+**Verification:**
+```bash
+# Verify ATProto signature
+atcr-verify atcr.io/myorg/myimage:latest
+
+# Or verify Cosign signature
+cosign verify atcr.io/myorg/myimage:latest --key cosign.pub
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Signatures Not Found
+
+**Symptom:** `atcr-verify` reports "no signature found"
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+```bash
+# Check if Referrers API works
+curl "https://atcr.io/v2/OWNER/REPO/referrers/DIGEST"
+
+# Check if signature artifact exists
+oras discover atcr.io/OWNER/REPO:TAG
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Verify Referrers API is implemented
+2. Re-push image to generate signature
+3. Check AppView logs for signature creation errors
+
+### DID Resolution Fails
+
+**Symptom:** Cannot resolve DID to public key
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+```bash
+# Test DID resolution
+curl https://plc.directory/did:plc:XXXXXX
+
+# Check DID document has verificationMethod
+curl https://plc.directory/did:plc:XXXXXX | jq .verificationMethod
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check internet connectivity
+2. Verify DID is valid
+3. Ensure DID document contains public key
+
+### Policy Violations
+
+**Symptom:** Verification fails with "trust policy violation"
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+```bash
+# Verify with verbose output
+atcr-verify IMAGE --policy policy.yaml --verbose
+```
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Add DID to trustedDIDs list
+2. Check signature age vs. maxAge
+3. Verify policy scope matches image

+# ATProto Signature Verification Plugins and Examples
+
+This directory contains reference implementations and examples for integrating ATProto signature verification into various tools and workflows.
+
+## Overview
+
+ATCR uses ATProto's native signature system to cryptographically sign container images. To integrate signature verification into existing tools (Kubernetes, CI/CD, container runtimes), you can:
+
+1. **Build plugins** for verification frameworks (Ratify, Gatekeeper, Containerd)
+2. **Use external services** called by policy engines
+3. **Integrate CLI tools** in your CI/CD pipelines

+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### For Kubernetes (Recommended)
+
+**Option A: Ratify Plugin**
+```bash
+cd ratify-verifier
+# Build plugin and deploy to Kubernetes
+./build.sh
+kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
+kubectl apply -f verifier-crd.yaml
+```
+
+**Option B: Gatekeeper Provider**
+```bash
+cd gatekeeper-provider
+# Build and deploy external provider
+docker build -t atcr.io/atcr/gatekeeper-provider:latest .
+kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml
+kubectl apply -f provider-crd.yaml
+```
+
+### For CI/CD
+
+**GitHub Actions**
+```yaml
+# Copy examples/plugins/ci-cd/github-actions.yml to .github/workflows/
+cp ci-cd/github-actions.yml ../.github/workflows/verify-and-deploy.yml
+```
+
+**GitLab CI**
+```yaml
+# Copy examples/plugins/ci-cd/gitlab-ci.yml to your repo
+cp ci-cd/gitlab-ci.yml ../.gitlab-ci.yml
+```
+
+### For Containerd
+
+```bash
+cd containerd-verifier
+# Build plugin
+./build.sh
+# Install to containerd plugins directory
+sudo cp atcr-verifier /opt/containerd/bin/
+```
+
+## Plugins Overview
+
+### Ratify Verifier Plugin ⭐
+
+**Use case:** Kubernetes admission control with OPA Gatekeeper
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Gatekeeper receives pod creation request
+2. Calls Ratify verification engine
+3. Ratify loads ATProto verifier plugin
+4. Plugin verifies signature and checks trust policy
+5. Returns allow/deny decision to Gatekeeper
+
+**Pros:**
+- Standard Ratify plugin interface
+- Works with existing Gatekeeper deployments
+- Can combine with other verifiers (Notation, Cosign)
+- Policy-based enforcement
+
+**Cons:**
+- Requires building custom Ratify image
+- Plugin must be compiled into image
+- More complex deployment
+
+**See:** [ratify-verifier/README.md](./ratify-verifier/README.md)
+
+### Gatekeeper External Provider ⭐
+
+**Use case:** Kubernetes admission control with OPA Gatekeeper
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Gatekeeper receives pod creation request
+2. Rego policy calls external data provider API
+3. Provider verifies ATProto signature
+4. Returns verification result to Gatekeeper
+5. Rego policy makes allow/deny decision
+
+**Pros:**
+- Simpler deployment (separate service)
+- Easy to update (no Gatekeeper changes)
+- Flexible Rego policies
+- Can add caching, rate limiting
+
+**Cons:**
+- Additional service to maintain
+- Network dependency (provider must be reachable)
+- Slightly higher latency
+
+**See:** [gatekeeper-provider/README.md](./gatekeeper-provider/README.md)
+
+### Containerd Bindir Plugin
+
+**Use case:** Runtime-level verification for all images
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Containerd pulls image
+2. Calls verifier plugin (bindir)
+3. Plugin verifies ATProto signature
+4. Returns result to containerd
+5. Containerd allows/blocks image
+
+**Pros:**
+- Works at runtime level (not just Kubernetes)
+- CRI-O, Podman support (CRI-compatible)
+- No Kubernetes required
+- Applies to all images
+
+**Cons:**
+- Containerd 2.0+ required
+- More complex to debug
+- Less flexible policies
+
+**See:** [containerd-verifier/README.md](./containerd-verifier/README.md)
+
+## CI/CD Integration Examples
+
+### GitHub Actions
+
+Complete workflow with:
+- Image signature verification
+- DID trust checking
+- Automated deployment on success
+
+**See:** [ci-cd/github-actions.yml](./ci-cd/github-actions.yml)
+
+### GitLab CI
+
+Pipeline with:
+- Multi-stage verification
+- Trust policy enforcement

+- Rollback on failure
+
+**See:** [ci-cd/jenkins-pipeline.groovy](./ci-cd/jenkins-pipeline.groovy) (coming soon)
+
+## Common Components
+
+All plugins share common functionality:
+
+### DID Resolution
+
+Resolve DID to public key:
+```go
+func ResolveDIDToPublicKey(ctx context.Context, did string) (*PublicKey, error)
+```
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Fetch DID document from PLC directory or did:web
+2. Extract verification method
+3. Decode multibase public key
+4. Parse as K-256 public key
+
+### PDS Communication
+
+Fetch repository commit:
+```go
+func FetchCommit(ctx context.Context, pdsEndpoint, did, commitCID string) (*Commit, error)
+```
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Call `com.atproto.sync.getRepo` XRPC endpoint
+2. Parse CAR file response
+3. Extract commit with matching CID
+4. Return commit data and signature
+
+### Signature Verification
+
+Verify ECDSA K-256 signature:
+```go
+func VerifySignature(pubKey *PublicKey, commit *Commit) error
+```
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Extract unsigned commit bytes
+2. Hash with SHA-256
+3. Verify ECDSA signature over hash
+4. Check signature is valid for public key
+
+### Trust Policy
+
+Check if DID is trusted:
+```go
+func IsTrusted(did string, now time.Time) bool
+```
+
+**Steps:**
+1. Load trust policy from config
+2. Check if DID in trusted list
+3. Verify validFrom/expiresAt timestamps
+4. Return true if trusted
+
+## Trust Policy Format
+
+All plugins use the same trust policy format:
+
+```yaml
+version: 1.0
+
+trustedDIDs:
+  did:plc:alice123:
+    name: "Alice (DevOps Lead)"
+    validFrom: "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
+    expiresAt: null
+
+  did:plc:bob456:
+    name: "Bob (Security Team)"
+    validFrom: "2024-06-01T00:00:00Z"
+    expiresAt: "2025-12-31T23:59:59Z"
+
+policies:
+  - name: production-images
+    scope: "atcr.io/*/prod-*"
+    require:
+      signature: true
+      trustedDIDs:
+        - did:plc:alice123
+        - did:plc:bob456
+      minSignatures: 1
+    action: enforce
+
+  - name: dev-images
+    scope: "atcr.io/*/dev-*"
+    require:
+      signature: false
+    action: audit
+```
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Dependencies
+
+All plugins require:
+- Go 1.21+ for building
+- ATProto DID resolution (PLC directory, did:web)
+- ATProto PDS XRPC API access
+- ECDSA K-256 signature verification
+
+### Caching
+
+Recommended caching strategy:
+- **DID documents**: 5 minute TTL
+- **Public keys**: 5 minute TTL
+- **PDS endpoints**: 5 minute TTL
+- **Signature results**: 5 minute TTL
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Plugins should handle:
+- DID resolution failures (network, invalid DID)
+- PDS connectivity issues (timeout, 404, 500)
+- Invalid signature format
+- Untrusted DIDs
+- Network timeouts
+
+### Logging
+
+Structured logging with:
+- `image` - Image being verified
+- `did` - Signer DID
+- `duration` - Operation duration
+- `error` - Error message (if failed)
+
+### Metrics
+
+Expose Prometheus metrics:
+- `atcr_verifications_total{result="verified|failed|error"}`
+- `atcr_verification_duration_seconds`
+- `atcr_did_resolutions_total{result="success|failure"}`
+- `atcr_cache_hits_total`
+- `atcr_cache_misses_total`
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Test individual components:
+```bash
+# Test DID resolution
+go test ./pkg/resolver -v
+
+# Test signature verification
+go test ./pkg/crypto -v
+
+# Test trust policy
+go test ./pkg/trust -v
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Test with real services:
+```bash
+# Test against ATCR registry
+go test ./integration -tags=integration -v
+
+# Test with test PDS
+go test ./integration -tags=integration -pds=https://test.pds.example.com
+```
+
+### End-to-End Tests
+
+Test full deployment:
+```bash
+# Deploy to test cluster
+kubectl apply -f test/fixtures/
+
+# Create pod with signed image (should succeed)
+kubectl run test-signed --image=atcr.io/test/signed:latest
+
+# Create pod with unsigned image (should fail)
+kubectl run test-unsigned --image=atcr.io/test/unsigned:latest
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Latency
+
+Typical verification latency:
+- DID resolution: 50-200ms (cached: <1ms)
+- PDS query: 100-500ms (cached: <1ms)
+- Signature verification: 1-5ms
+- **Total**: 150-700ms (uncached), <10ms (cached)
+
+### Throughput
+
+Expected throughput (single instance):
+- Without caching: ~5-10 verifications/second
+- With caching: ~100-500 verifications/second
+
+### Scaling
+
+For high traffic:
+- Deploy multiple replicas (stateless)
+- Use Redis for distributed caching
+- Implement rate limiting
+- Monitor P95/P99 latency
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Network Policies
+
+Restrict access to:
+- DID resolution (PLC directory only)
+- PDS XRPC endpoints
+- Internal services only
+
+### Denial of Service
+
+Protect against:
+- High verification request rate
+- Slow DID resolution
+- Malicious images with many signatures
+- Large signature artifacts
+
+### Trust Model
+
+Understand trust dependencies:
+- DID resolution is accurate (PLC directory)
+- PDS serves correct records
+- Private keys are secure
+- Trust policy is maintained
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Plugin Not Loading
+
+```bash
+# Check plugin exists
+ls -la /path/to/plugin
+
+# Check plugin is executable
+chmod +x /path/to/plugin
+
+# Check plugin logs
+tail -f /var/log/atcr-verifier.log
+```
+
+### Verification Failing
+
+```bash
+# Test DID resolution
+curl https://plc.directory/did:plc:alice123
+
+# Test PDS connectivity
+curl https://bsky.social/xrpc/com.atproto.server.describeServer
+
+# Test signature exists
+oras discover atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest \
+  --artifact-type application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json
+```
+
+### Policy Not Enforcing
+
+```bash
+# Check policy is loaded
+kubectl get configmap atcr-trust-policy -n gatekeeper-system
+
+# Check constraint is active
+kubectl get constraint atcr-signatures-required -o yaml
+
+# Check logs
+kubectl logs -n gatekeeper-system deployment/ratify
+```

+# OPA Gatekeeper External Data Provider for ATProto Signatures
+
+This is a reference implementation of an OPA Gatekeeper External Data Provider that verifies ATProto signatures on ATCR container images.
+
+## Overview
+
+Gatekeeper's External Data Provider feature allows Rego policies to call external HTTP services for data validation. This provider implements signature verification as an HTTP service that Gatekeeper can query.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Kubernetes Pod Creation
+       ↓
+OPA Gatekeeper (admission webhook)
+       ↓
+Rego Policy (constraint template)
+       ↓
+External Data Provider API call
+       ↓
+ATProto Verification Service ← This service
+       ↓
+   1. Resolve image digest
+   2. Discover signature artifacts
+   3. Parse ATProto signature metadata
+   4. Resolve DID to public key
+   5. Fetch commit from PDS
+   6. Verify K-256 signature
+   7. Check trust policy
+       ↓
+   Return: verified=true/false + metadata
+```
+

+```
+
+### Provider Configuration
+
+Environment variables:
+- `TRUST_POLICY_PATH` - Path to trust policy file (default: `/config/trust-policy.yaml`)
+- `HTTP_PORT` - HTTP server port (default: `8080`)
+- `LOG_LEVEL` - Log level: debug, info, warn, error (default: `info`)
+- `CACHE_ENABLED` - Enable caching (default: `true`)
+- `CACHE_TTL` - Cache TTL in seconds (default: `300`)

+
+## Rego Policy Examples
+
+### Simple Verification
+
+```rego
+package atcrsignatures
+
+import future.keywords.contains
+import future.keywords.if
+import future.keywords.in
+
+provider := "atcr-verifier"
+
+violation[{"msg": msg}] {
+    container := input.review.object.spec.containers[_]
+    startswith(container.image, "atcr.io/")
+
+    # Call external provider
+    response := external_data({
+        "provider": provider,
+        "keys": ["image"],
+        "values": [container.image]
+    })
+
+    # Check verification result
+    not response[_].verified == true
+
+    msg := sprintf("Image %v has no valid ATProto signature", [container.image])
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Verification with DID Trust
+
+```rego
+package atcrsignatures
+
+import future.keywords.contains
+import future.keywords.if
+import future.keywords.in
+
+provider := "atcr-verifier"
+
+trusted_dids := [
+    "did:plc:alice123",
+    "did:plc:bob456"
+]
+
+violation[{"msg": msg}] {
+    container := input.review.object.spec.containers[_]
+    startswith(container.image, "atcr.io/")
+
+    # Call external provider
+    response := external_data({
+        "provider": provider,
+        "keys": ["image"],
+        "values": [container.image]
+    })
+
+    # Get response for this image
+    result := response[_]
+    result.image == container.image
+
+    # Check if verified
+    not result.verified == true
+    msg := sprintf("Image %v failed signature verification: %v", [container.image, result.error])
+}
+
+violation[{"msg": msg}] {
+    container := input.review.object.spec.containers[_]
+    startswith(container.image, "atcr.io/")
+
+    # Call external provider
+    response := external_data({
+        "provider": provider,
+        "keys": ["image"],
+        "values": [container.image]
+    })
+
+    # Get response for this image
+    result := response[_]
+    result.image == container.image
+    result.verified == true
+
+    # Check DID is trusted
+    not result.did in trusted_dids
+    msg := sprintf("Image %v signed by untrusted DID: %v", [container.image, result.did])
+}
+```
+
+### Namespace-Specific Policies
+
+```rego
+package atcrsignatures
+
+import future.keywords.contains
+import future.keywords.if
+import future.keywords.in
+
+provider := "atcr-verifier"
+
+# Production namespaces require signatures
+production_namespaces := ["production", "prod", "staging"]
+
+violation[{"msg": msg}] {
+    # Only apply to production namespaces
+    input.review.object.metadata.namespace in production_namespaces
+
+    container := input.review.object.spec.containers[_]
+    startswith(container.image, "atcr.io/")
+
+    # Call external provider
+    response := external_data({
+        "provider": provider,
+        "keys": ["image"],
+        "values": [container.image]
+    })
+
+    # Check verification result
+    not response[_].verified == true
+
+    msg := sprintf("Production namespace requires signed images. Image %v is not signed", [container.image])
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Caching
+
+The provider caches:
+- Signature verification results (TTL: 5 minutes)
+- DID documents (TTL: 5 minutes)
+- PDS endpoints (TTL: 5 minutes)
+- Public keys (TTL: 5 minutes)
+
+Enable/disable via `CACHE_ENABLED` environment variable.
+
+### Timeouts

+- `DID_RESOLVER_TIMEOUT` - DID resolution timeout (default: 10s)
+- `PDS_TIMEOUT` - PDS XRPC calls timeout (default: 10s)
+- HTTP client timeout: 30s total
+
+### Horizontal Scaling
+
+The provider is stateless and can be scaled horizontally:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+spec:
+  replicas: 3  # Scale up for high traffic
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Consider implementing rate limiting for:
+- Gatekeeper → Provider requests
+- Provider → DID resolver
+- Provider → PDS
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Metrics
+
+The provider exposes Prometheus metrics at `/metrics`:
+
+```
+# Request metrics
+atcr_provider_requests_total{status="success|failure"}
+atcr_provider_request_duration_seconds
+
+# Verification metrics
+atcr_provider_verifications_total{result="verified|failed|error"}
+atcr_provider_verification_duration_seconds
+
+# Cache metrics
+atcr_provider_cache_hits_total
+atcr_provider_cache_misses_total
+```
+
+### Logging
+
+Structured JSON logging with fields:
+- `image` - Image being verified
+- `did` - Signer DID (if found)
+- `duration` - Verification duration
+- `error` - Error message (if failed)
+
+### Health Checks
+
+```bash
+# Liveness probe
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+
+# Readiness probe
+curl http://localhost:8080/ready
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Provider Not Reachable
+
+```bash
+# Check provider pod status
+kubectl get pods -n gatekeeper-system -l app=atcr-provider
+
+# Check service
+kubectl get svc -n gatekeeper-system atcr-provider
+
+# Test connectivity from Gatekeeper pod
+kubectl exec -n gatekeeper-system deployment/gatekeeper-controller-manager -- \
+  curl http://atcr-provider.gatekeeper-system/health
+```
+
+### Verification Failing
+
+```bash
+# Check provider logs
+kubectl logs -n gatekeeper-system deployment/atcr-provider
+
+# Test verification manually
+kubectl run test-curl --rm -it --image=curlimages/curl -- \
+  curl -X POST http://atcr-provider.gatekeeper-system/provide \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"keys":["image"],"values":["atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest"]}'
+```
+
+### Policy Not Enforcing
+
+```bash
+# Check Gatekeeper logs
+kubectl logs -n gatekeeper-system deployment/gatekeeper-controller-manager
+
+# Check constraint status
+kubectl get constraint atcr-signatures-required -o yaml
+
+# Test policy manually with conftest
+conftest test -p constraint-template.yaml pod.yaml
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Network Policies
+
+Restrict network access:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: NetworkPolicy
+metadata:
+  name: atcr-provider
+  namespace: gatekeeper-system
+spec:
+  podSelector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app: atcr-provider
+  ingress:
+  - from:
+    - podSelector:
+        matchLabels:
+          control-plane: controller-manager  # Gatekeeper
+    ports:
+    - port: 8080
+  egress:
+  - to:  # PLC directory
+    - namespaceSelector: {}
+    ports:
+    - port: 443
+```
+
+### Authentication
+
+The provider should only be accessible from Gatekeeper. Options:
+- Network policies (recommended for Kubernetes)
+- Mutual TLS
+- API tokens
+
+### Trust Policy Management
+
+- Store trust policy in version control
+- Use GitOps (Flux, ArgoCD) for updates
+- Review DID changes carefully
+- Audit policy modifications

+# Ratify ATProto Verifier Plugin
+
+This is a reference implementation of a Ratify verifier plugin for ATProto signatures.
+
+## Overview
+
+Ratify is a verification framework that integrates with OPA Gatekeeper to enforce signature policies in Kubernetes. This plugin adds support for verifying ATProto signatures on ATCR container images.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Kubernetes Pod Creation
+       ↓
+OPA Gatekeeper (admission webhook)
+       ↓
+Ratify (verification engine)
+       ↓
+ATProto Verifier Plugin ← This plugin
+       ↓
+   1. Fetch signature artifact from registry
+   2. Parse ATProto signature metadata
+   3. Resolve DID to public key
+   4. Fetch repository commit from PDS
+   5. Verify ECDSA K-256 signature
+   6. Check trust policy

+```
+
+### 5. Test
+
+```bash
+# Try to create pod with signed image (should succeed)
+kubectl run test-signed --image=atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+
+# Try to create pod with unsigned image (should fail)
+kubectl run test-unsigned --image=atcr.io/malicious/fake:latest
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Trust Policy Format
+
+```yaml
+# trust-policy.yaml
+version: 1.0
+
+trustedDIDs:
+  did:plc:alice123:
+    name: "Alice (DevOps)"
+    validFrom: "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
+    expiresAt: null
+
+  did:plc:bob456:
+    name: "Bob (Security)"
+    validFrom: "2024-06-01T00:00:00Z"
+    expiresAt: "2025-12-31T23:59:59Z"
+
+policies:
+  - name: production
+    scope: "atcr.io/*/prod-*"
+    require:
+      signature: true
+      trustedDIDs:
+        - did:plc:alice123
+        - did:plc:bob456
+    action: enforce
+```
+
+### Verifier Configuration
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: config.ratify.deislabs.io/v1beta1
+kind: Verifier
+metadata:
+  name: atproto-verifier
+spec:
+  name: atproto
+  artifactType: application/vnd.atproto.signature.v1+json
+  address: /.ratify/plugins/atproto-verifier
+  parameters:
+    trustPolicyPath: /config/trust-policy.yaml
+    didResolverTimeout: 10s
+    pdsTimeout: 10s
+    cacheEnabled: true
+    cacheTTL: 300s
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Verifier Interface
+
+The plugin implements Ratify's `ReferenceVerifier` interface:
+
+```go
+type ReferenceVerifier interface {
+    Name() string
+    Type() string
+    CanVerify(artifactType string) bool
+    VerifyReference(
+        ctx context.Context,
+        subjectRef common.Reference,
+        referenceDesc ocispecs.ReferenceDescriptor,
+        store referrerstore.ReferrerStore,
+    ) (VerifierResult, error)
+}
+```
+
+### Verification Flow
+
+1. **Artifact Fetch**: Download signature artifact from registry via Ratify's store
+2. **Parse Metadata**: Extract ATProto signature metadata (DID, PDS, commit CID)
+3. **DID Resolution**: Resolve DID to public key via PLC directory or did:web
+4. **Commit Fetch**: Get repository commit from PDS via XRPC
+5. **Signature Verify**: Verify ECDSA K-256 signature over commit bytes
+6. **Trust Check**: Validate DID against trust policy
+7. **Result**: Return success/failure with metadata
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The plugin returns detailed error information:
+
+```go
+type VerifierResult struct {
+    IsSuccess bool
+    Name      string
+    Type      string
+    Message   string
+    Extensions map[string]interface{}
+}
+```
+
+**Extensions include:**
+- `did` - Signer's DID
+- `handle` - Signer's handle (if available)
+- `signedAt` - Signature timestamp
+- `commitCid` - ATProto commit CID
+- `pdsEndpoint` - PDS URL
+- `error` - Error details (if verification failed)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Plugin Not Found
+
+```bash
+# Check plugin is in image
+kubectl exec -n gatekeeper-system deployment/ratify -c ratify -- ls -la /.ratify/plugins/
+
+# Check logs
+kubectl logs -n gatekeeper-system deployment/ratify -c ratify
+```
+
+### Verification Failing
+
+```bash
+# Check Ratify logs for details
+kubectl logs -n gatekeeper-system deployment/ratify -c ratify | grep atproto
+
+# Check Verifier status
+kubectl get verifier atproto-verifier -o yaml
+
+# Test DID resolution manually
+curl https://plc.directory/did:plc:alice123
+```
+
+### Trust Policy Issues
+
+```bash
+# Check ConfigMap exists
+kubectl get configmap atcr-trust-policy -n gatekeeper-system
+
+# View policy contents
+kubectl get configmap atcr-trust-policy -n gatekeeper-system -o yaml
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Caching
+
+The plugin caches:
+- DID documents (TTL: 5 minutes)
+- PDS endpoints (TTL: 5 minutes)
+- Public keys (TTL: 5 minutes)
+
+Configure via `cacheEnabled` and `cacheTTL` parameters.
+
+### Timeouts
+
+Configure timeouts for external calls:
+- `didResolverTimeout` - DID resolution (default: 10s)
+- `pdsTimeout` - PDS XRPC calls (default: 10s)
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Consider implementing rate limiting for:
+- DID resolution (PLC directory)
+- PDS XRPC calls
+- Signature verification
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Trust Policy Management
+
+- Store trust policy in version control
+- Review DID additions/removals carefully
+- Set expiration dates for temporary access
+- Audit trust policy changes
+
+### Private Key Protection
+
+- Plugin only uses public keys
+- No private keys needed for verification
+- DID resolution is read-only
+- PDS queries are read-only
+
+### Denial of Service
+
+- Implement timeouts for all external calls
+- Cache DID documents to reduce load
+- Rate limit verification requests
+- Monitor verification latency

+# ATProto Signature Verification Examples
+
+This directory contains practical examples for verifying ATProto signatures on ATCR container images.
+
+## Files
+
+### Scripts
+
+- **`atcr-verify.sh`** - Standalone signature verification script
+  - Verifies ATProto signatures using shell commands
+  - Requires: `curl`, `jq`, `crane`, `oras`
+  - Does everything except full cryptographic verification
+  - Use this until the `atcr-verify` CLI tool is built
+
+- **`verify-and-pull.sh`** - Secure image pull wrapper
+  - Verifies signatures before pulling images
+  - Can be used as a `docker pull` replacement
+  - Configurable via environment variables
+
+### Configuration
+
+- **`trust-policy.yaml`** - Example trust policy configuration
+  - Defines which DIDs to trust
+  - Specifies policies for different image scopes
+  - Includes audit logging and reporting settings
+
+- **`kubernetes-webhook.yaml`** - Kubernetes admission controller
+  - Validates signatures before pod creation
+  - Includes webhook deployment, service, and configuration
+  - Uses trust policy ConfigMap
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Verify an Image
+
+```bash
+# Make script executable
+chmod +x atcr-verify.sh
+
+# Verify an image
+./atcr-verify.sh atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+```
+
+**Output:**
+```

+```
+
+### 2. Secure Pull
+
+```bash
+# Make script executable
+chmod +x verify-and-pull.sh
+
+# Pull image with verification
+./verify-and-pull.sh atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+
+# With Docker options
+./verify-and-pull.sh atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest --platform linux/amd64
+```
+
+**Create an alias for convenience:**
+```bash
+# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
+alias docker-pull-secure='/path/to/verify-and-pull.sh'
+
+# Use it
+docker-pull-secure atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+```
+
+### 3. Deploy Kubernetes Webhook
+
+```bash
+# 1. Generate TLS certificates for webhook
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout tls.key -out tls.crt \
+  -days 365 -nodes -subj "/CN=atcr-verify-webhook.atcr-system.svc"
+
+# 2. Create namespace and secret
+kubectl create namespace atcr-system
+kubectl create secret tls atcr-verify-webhook-certs \
+  --cert=tls.crt --key=tls.key -n atcr-system
+
+# 3. Update CA bundle in kubernetes-webhook.yaml
+cat tls.crt | base64 -w 0
+# Copy output and replace caBundle in kubernetes-webhook.yaml
+
+# 4. Deploy webhook
+kubectl apply -f kubernetes-webhook.yaml
+
+# 5. Enable verification for a namespace
+kubectl label namespace production atcr-verify=enabled
+
+# 6. Test with a pod
+kubectl run test-pod --image=atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest -n production
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### For Scripts
+
+Install required tools:
+
+**macOS (Homebrew):**
+```bash
+brew install curl jq crane oras
+```
+
+**Linux (apt):**
+```bash
+# curl and jq
+sudo apt-get install curl jq
+
+# crane
+curl -sL "https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry/releases/download/v0.15.2/go-containerregistry_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz" | tar -xz crane
+sudo mv crane /usr/local/bin/
+
+# oras
+curl -LO "https://github.com/oras-project/oras/releases/download/v1.0.0/oras_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz"
+tar -xzf oras_1.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
+sudo mv oras /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+### For Kubernetes Webhook
+
+Requirements:
+- Kubernetes cluster (1.16+)
+- `kubectl` configured
+- Permission to create namespaces and webhooks
+- Webhook container image (build from source or use pre-built)
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables (verify-and-pull.sh)
+
+- `VERIFY_SCRIPT` - Path to atcr-verify.sh (default: ./atcr-verify.sh)
+- `TRUST_POLICY` - Path to trust policy (default: ./trust-policy.yaml)
+- `REQUIRE_VERIFICATION` - Require verification (default: true)
+- `SKIP_ATCR_IMAGES` - Skip verification for non-ATCR images (default: false)
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Skip verification for non-ATCR images
+SKIP_ATCR_IMAGES=true ./verify-and-pull.sh docker.io/library/nginx:latest
+
+# Allow pulling even if verification fails (NOT RECOMMENDED)
+REQUIRE_VERIFICATION=false ./verify-and-pull.sh atcr.io/alice/myapp:latest
+```
+
+### Trust Policy
+
+Edit `trust-policy.yaml` to customize:
+
+1. **Add your DIDs:**
+   ```yaml
+   trustedDIDs:
+     did:plc:your-did:
+       name: "Your Name"
+       validFrom: "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"
+   ```
+
+2. **Define policies:**
+   ```yaml
+   policies:
+     - name: my-policy
+       scope: "atcr.io/myorg/*"
+       require:
+         signature: true
+         trustedDIDs:
+           - did:plc:your-did
+       action: enforce
+   ```
+
+3. **Use with verification:**
+   ```bash
+   # When atcr-verify CLI is available:
+   atcr-verify IMAGE --policy trust-policy.yaml
+   ```
+
+## Integration Patterns
+
+### CI/CD (GitHub Actions)
+
+```yaml
+- name: Verify image signature
+  run: |
+    chmod +x examples/verification/atcr-verify.sh
+    ./examples/verification/atcr-verify.sh ${{ env.IMAGE }}
+
+- name: Deploy if verified
+  if: success()
+  run: kubectl set image deployment/app app=${{ env.IMAGE }}
+```
+
+### CI/CD (GitLab CI)
+
+```yaml
+verify:
+  script:
+    - chmod +x examples/verification/atcr-verify.sh
+    - ./examples/verification/atcr-verify.sh $IMAGE
+
+deploy:
+  dependencies: [verify]
+  script:
+    - kubectl set image deployment/app app=$IMAGE
+```
+
+### Docker Alias
+
+```bash
+# ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc
+function docker() {
+  if [ "$1" = "pull" ] && [[ "$2" =~ ^atcr\.io/ ]]; then
+    echo "Using secure pull with signature verification..."
+    /path/to/verify-and-pull.sh "${@:2}"
+  else
+    command docker "$@"
+  fi
+}
+```
+
+### Systemd Service
+
+```ini
+# /etc/systemd/system/myapp.service
+[Unit]
+Description=My Application
+After=docker.service
+
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+ExecStartPre=/path/to/verify-and-pull.sh atcr.io/myorg/myapp:latest
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run atcr.io/myorg/myapp:latest
+Restart=on-failure
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "No ATProto signature found"
+
+**Cause:** Image doesn't have a signature artifact
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check if image exists: `crane digest IMAGE`
+2. Re-push image to generate signature
+3. Verify referrers API is working:
+   ```bash
+   curl "https://atcr.io/v2/REPO/referrers/DIGEST"
+   ```
+
+### "Failed to resolve DID"
+
+**Cause:** DID resolution failed
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check internet connectivity
+2. Verify DID is valid: `curl https://plc.directory/DID`
+3. Check if DID document has verificationMethod
+
+### "Failed to fetch record from PDS"
+
+**Cause:** PDS is unreachable or record doesn't exist
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check PDS endpoint: `curl PDS_URL/xrpc/com.atproto.server.describeServer`
+2. Verify record URI is correct
+3. Check if record exists in PDS
+
+### Webhook Pods Don't Start
+
+**Cause:** Webhook is rejecting all pods
+
+**Solutions:**
+1. Check webhook logs: `kubectl logs -n atcr-system -l app=atcr-verify-webhook`
+2. Disable webhook temporarily: `kubectl delete validatingwebhookconfiguration atcr-verify`
+3. Fix issue and re-deploy
+4. Test with labeled namespace first
+
+## Security Best Practices
+
+1. **Always verify in production**
+   - Enable webhook for production namespaces
+   - Set `failurePolicy: Fail` to block on errors
+
+2. **Use trust policies**
+   - Define specific trusted DIDs
+   - Don't trust all signatures blindly
+   - Set expiration dates for temporary access
+
+3. **Monitor verification**
+   - Enable audit logging
+   - Review verification failures
+   - Track signature coverage
+
+4. **Rotate keys regularly**
+   - Update DID documents when keys change
+   - Revoke compromised keys immediately
+   - Monitor for unexpected key changes
+
+5. **Secure webhook deployment**
+   - Use TLS for webhook communication
+   - Restrict webhook RBAC permissions
+   - Keep webhook image updated
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Test verification** with your images
+2. **Customize trust policy** for your organization
+3. **Deploy webhook** to test clusters first
+4. **Monitor** verification in CI/CD pipelines
+5. **Gradually roll out** to production

+# This example shows how to deploy a validating admission webhook that
+# verifies ATProto signatures before allowing pods to be created.
+#
+# Prerequisites:
+#   1. Build and push the webhook image (see examples/webhook/ for code)
+#   2. Generate TLS certificates for the webhook
+#   3. Create trust policy ConfigMap
+#
+# Usage:
+#   kubectl apply -f kubernetes-webhook.yaml
+#   kubectl label namespace production atcr-verify=enabled
