# Reported issues for vouch-mcp

Pod holds 8 of 8 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

### Add a TypeScript example mirroring the FastAPI credential gate

Mirror the Python credential-gate example in the TypeScript SDK so both ecosystems have parity: a small server endpoint that reads a `Vouch-Credential` header and verifies it.

**Acceptance:** a signed request verifies and an unsigned one is rejected.
**File:** `packages/sdk-ts/`
**Size:** M

### Bind intent.resource to the endpoint in the FastAPI credential gate

Currently the gate verifies a credential is authentic and unexpired, but it does not check that the credential's `intent.resource` matches the protected endpoint. Add that audience binding so a credential minted for a different resource is rejected.

This is a natural step up from the credential-gate example (a good second contribution).

**Acceptance:** a credential whose `intent.resource` does not match the endpoint is rejected (403); a matching one passes.

### Add a minimal FastAPI example that rejects unsigned agent requests

In `examples/`, add a ~30-line FastAPI app with one endpoint that reads a `Vouch-Credential` header, verifies it with `Verifier.verify_credential(...)`, and returns 401 when the header is missing or invalid.

Reference: `vouch/verifier.py`.

**Acceptance:** `uvicorn` runs it; a signed request passes, an unsigned one returns 401.

### Event-triggered intent recheck: bind intent-seal freshness to the action, not the interval

The Heartbeat Protocol proves an agent is still alive across an interval. It does not prove the agent still means to do what it is about to do at the moment of a specific action. Today a justification sealed early in an interval still passes for an action executed much later in the same interval. A sophisticated actor who knows the pulse interval can time a sensitive action to land in the gap between two heartbeats, riding on an intent that was locked in earlier while nothing is re-verified.

### Add a "verify a credential from the CLI" quickstart doc

Add a short walkthrough showing how to mint a credential and verify it using the CLI, end to end, for newcomers.

**Acceptance:** a newcomer can follow it to verify a credential start to finish.
**File:** `docs/` or `examples/`
**Size:** S

### Add a CLI help smoke test

Add a test asserting that `vouch --help` and `vouch init --help` exit 0 and list the expected subcommands. Cheap regression coverage for the CLI surface.

**Acceptance:** the new test passes in CI.
**File:** `vouch/cli.py`, `tests/`
**Size:** S

### Port validator quorum to TypeScript

Port the **validator quorum** runtime module (`vouch/quorum.py`) to **TypeScript**, under `packages/sdk-ts/`.

It is an M-of-N validator quorum decision. The Python module is the source of truth, and the data formats are already cross-language.

**Acceptance:**
- Implement with the same public surface as the Python module.
- Add `test-vectors/quorum/vector.json` generated from the Python module.
- The TypeScript port reproduces the vector byte-for-byte (add a runner; it passes).
- The Python ref

### Add a runnable tamper-detection demo

In `examples/`, add a script that signs a credential, mutates one field, and shows that verification now fails, printing a clear before/after.

**Acceptance:** the script runs and demonstrates the rejection.
