## Definitions

### `ink.branchline.getSeeds`

**Type**: `query`

Hydrate seed views for a set of AT-URIs. Seeds are returned in the same order as the input URIs. Unknown URIs are silently omitted.

#### Parameters

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `uris` | `array` | Yes | AT-URIs of seeds to hydrate. |

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `seeds` | `array` | Yes |  |

### `ink.branchline.getSeeds#seedView`

**Type**: `object`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `cid` | `string` (cid) | Yes |  |
| `uri` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes |  |
| `grantee` | `ref` → `#authorView` | Yes |  |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |
| `expiresAt` | `string` (datetime) | No | Earliest expiresAt across the entire provenance chain (self + ancestors). Absent when no seed in the chain has an expiry. |
| `grantedBy` | `ref` → `#authorView` | Yes | Immediate grantor (depth 1 only) — the author of this seed record. For a root seed this is also the chain's origin. |
