    abstract =  {This document defines a forward-compatible extension point for the Multi-Vantage Path Synchrony (MVPS) bundle format. The base format already provides a schema version, a path-fingerprint version prefix, and an IANA "MVPS Bundle Capability Flags" registry, but its serialization is closed to unknown fields. This document adds a single, typed, namespaced "extensions" object and a processing rule (ignore-but-preserve), and specifies how extensions interact with the canonical hash and the MVPS Proof Envelope. The mechanism is designed so that an extension can never become a tamper vector and can never alter the core coherence detector: the detection statistic D\textasciicircum{}2 is, by construction, a function of the core bundle only. Every property in this document is backed by a machine-checkable numerical receipt.},
