# Canonical Json Charter

## Mission
Own deterministic canonical JSON serialization and hashing for content-addressed proofs.

## Responsibilities
- Maintain `StellaOps.Canonical.Json` canonicalization logic and version markers.
- Keep outputs deterministic, spec-aligned, and offline-friendly.
- Surface open work on `TASKS.md`; update statuses (TODO/DOING/DONE/BLOCKED/REVIEW).

## Key Paths
- `CanonJson.cs`
- `CanonVersion.cs`
- `README.md`

## Coordination
- Attestor and Proof/Evidence owners for canonicalization contracts.
- Scanner and Policy teams for hash usage.

## Required Reading
- `docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md`
- `docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md`

## Working Agreement
- 1. Update task status to `DOING`/`DONE` in both corresponding sprint file `/docs/implplan/SPRINT_*.md` and the local `TASKS.md` when you start or finish work.
- 2. Review this charter and the Required Reading documents before coding; confirm prerequisites are met.
- 3. Keep changes deterministic (stable ordering, timestamps, hashes) and align with offline/air-gap expectations.
- 4. Coordinate doc updates, tests, and cross-guild communication whenever contracts or workflows change.
- 5. Revert to `TODO` if you pause the task without shipping changes; leave notes in commit/PR descriptions for context.
