Spec → ComplianceCredential
What is ComplianceCredential? A machine-verifiable reference to a statutory or scheme registration. UKLSP stores the reference and where to verify it — never a claim of verification it hasn't performed.
UKLSP stores the register reference and where to check it — never a verification it hasn't performed. verified_by_operator defaults to false and may only be set after a human has checked the public register, with the date recorded. Agents SHOULD prefer verified credentials and MAY surface the register link to their principal. This honest-labelling rule is what lets the network make trust claims without inventing them.
