Verification Adapter Pattern

A small adapter keeps application code from depending directly on internal implementation details.

Model the integration as:

application input → adapter → DigiEmu technology → structured result → application decision

The adapter should make these elements explicit:

  • artifact or state identity;
  • contract or schema version;
  • verification policy;
  • evidence references;
  • structured verification result;
  • process-level error information where applicable.

The application should make decisions from the structured verification result, not from free-form logs.

Unknown, incomplete, or unsupported states must remain unresolved rather than silently becoming success.

{
"contract_version": "example-only",
"artifact_id": "artifact-reference",
"status": "PASS | FAIL | INCOMPLETE | UNKNOWN",
"evidence": [
"evidence-reference"
]
}

This JSON is illustrative. Use the authoritative contract of the integrated DigiEmu technology in production.

An adapter gives you one place to:

  • pin contract versions;
  • normalize transport errors;
  • preserve unknown fields;
  • reject unsupported states;
  • record verification receipts;
  • migrate consumers when an interface changes.
