Appendix — Third-Party Validator Conformance
Status: pointer to CTS-owned document
The operational conformance guidance for third-party validators now lives with aeonite-org/aeonite-cts.
This appendix remains in the spec tree only to record the boundary:
- AEOS and AEON specs define the normative semantic requirements
aeonite-ctsowns the public validator conformance guidance and verification-facing contract surface
If validator guidance conflicts with the AEOS spec line, the AEOS spec line wins.
