Ownership verification
Proving you own an asset, per kind, before anything is scanned.
Ownership verification is the act of proving an asset's ownership. It is a hard guardrail: an asset stays unscannable until it is verified.
The proof depends on the kind:
| Kind | Proof |
|---|---|
domain, public-host vm | A DNS TXT record you publish. |
repository | The git provider's API (the connection you authorise). |
container, cloud | The connected credential. |
Verification is human-initiated, under your request principal.
Ownership detection
Ownership detection is the unattended twin of verification: the same proof, observed by a scheduled reader with no human present at the instant it flips the asset to verified. It exists so a proof that becomes true later (a DNS record that propagates, say) is picked up without you having to click again.
Verified
verified is the state either path writes: ownership is proven. It is the one
signal the scan selection consults before scanning.
