VEX Consensus in the Console

This document describes how the Console should surface VEX evidence and consensus to keep triage explainable.

What the Console Should Show

• Effective VEX status (affected, not_affected, under_investigation, fixed) with confidence/tier label.
• Provenance for each source statement: issuer identity, signature verification state, timestamps, and digests.
• Conflicts as first-class facts (what disagrees, at what trust tier), not hidden UI logic.
• Snapshot identity and staleness budgets when operating against Offline Kit snapshots.

Evidence Linking

Every displayed fact should link back to:

• The raw VEX observation(s)
• Linkset correlation view (what was grouped and why)
• The policy explanation that consumed the evidence (when shown in triage)
