What the seal tells you

QC is the app’s completed-workflow marker. The local profile uses a mint double circle; the EU profile a rounded square; reviewed external processing an ochre octagon; unreviewed processing a dashed diamond; routing stacked frames with connected nodes. Shape, icon and wording distinguish the profiles without relying on colour. These are processing profiles, not different legal signature types.

Inspect the technical proof

Technical format: canonical JSON, SHA-256 fingerprint and Ed25519 signature. The exported public key verifies the record’s integrity; compare it with the known instance key to establish provenance. No private signing key is included.

What the current record can and cannot show
The current export records the endpoint and profile trust classification. For a router, that is not proof of the downstream provider, storage country or retention policy. EU classification comes from configuration; it is not automatic verification of EU-only processing. Job states and model-call audit records are separate; the signature does not prove OCR accuracy or that every downstream event was observed.
Processing record or document signature?
Hefter currently signs its processing record with the instance’s key. It does not identify a human signatory or provide an advanced (AES) or qualified (QES) electronic signature. Under eIDAS, QES has the legal effect of a handwritten signature. A future document-signing integration would be a separate feature, using an appropriate trust service.
