+# Four-Layer Architecture (Edge, Control Plane, Evidence Plane, Data Plane)
+
+## Module
+Attestor
+
+## Status
+IMPLEMENTED
+
+## Description
+The described four-layer architecture is realized with distinct modules for edge routing, control plane (policy/authority/attestor/scheduler), evidence plane (scanner/excititor/concelier), and data plane (workers/task runners).
+
+## Implementation Details
+- **Attestor as Control Plane**: `src/Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor/StellaOps.Attestor.WebService/` -- HTTP endpoints:
+  - `Controllers/ProofsController.cs`, `VerifyController.cs`, `BundlesController.cs`, `ChainController.cs`, `AnchorsController.cs`, `VerdictController.cs` -- control plane APIs
+  - `Endpoints/VerdictEndpoints.cs`, `WatchlistEndpoints.cs` -- minimal API endpoints
+- **Evidence Plane Integration**: `__Libraries/StellaOps.Attestor.ProofChain/` -- evidence construction with 93 predicate types, 49 statement types
+- **Verification Pipeline**: `__Libraries/StellaOps.Attestor.ProofChain/Verification/VerificationPipeline.cs` (with `.Verify`) -- multi-step verification pipeline
+- **Submission Service**: `StellaOps.Attestor.Core/Submission/IAttestorSubmissionService.cs`, `AttestorSubmissionValidator.cs` -- validates and routes submissions
+- **Queue (Data Plane)**: `StellaOps.Attestor.Core/Queue/IRekorSubmissionQueue.cs` -- durable queue for asynchronous processing
+- **Background Services**: `StellaOps.Attestor.Core/Rekor/RekorSyncBackgroundService.cs` -- background processing
+- **Composition**: `StellaOps.Attestor.WebService/AttestorWebServiceComposition.cs` -- DI composition root
+
+## E2E Test Plan
+- [ ] Submit an attestation via `ProofsController` and verify it flows through the submission pipeline
+- [ ] Verify an attestation via `VerifyController` and confirm the verification pipeline executes all steps
+- [ ] Query attestation bundles via `BundlesController` and verify correct responses
+- [ ] Query attestation chains via `ChainController` and verify traversal works
+- [ ] Submit a batch of attestations and verify they are queued for Rekor publication
+- [ ] Verify the background sync service processes queued items
+- [ ] Verify `AttestorSubmissionValidator` rejects invalid submissions with appropriate error messages
