	 <t>   This document defines an interoperability profile for the Secured
   Digital Lifecycle Protocol (SDLP). The profile specifies how SDLP
   canonical objects, identity, lineage, lifecycle state, and digests
   are composed with external verification, typed authority evaluation,
   and provenance evidence semantics. It introduces a transition vector
   model that carries canonical SDLP envelopes together with CAID
   projections, AEC evidence results, local authorization decisions, and
   AEB execution outcomes, without altering SDLP’s core object
   semantics.

   The profile defines how SDLP objects participate in multi-stage
   verification pipelines and how mutated candidate inputs, negative
   cases, and authority constraints are represented. It also specifies
   composition rules for integrating SDLP with provenance and
   transparency systems such as CAID, AEC, AEB, SCITT, and EMILIA, while
   preserving the separation of concerns between SDLP canonical
   semantics and ecosystem-specific admission and trust policies.
