## Definitions

### `monster.attest.vouch`

**Type**: `record`

'I know this person': the author vouches for another account. Vouching costs the voucher in trust computations. Delete to retract. Mirrors sh.tangled.graph.vouch where a subject is known there. Record key: a base32 sha256 of the subject/target, so there is one per author per subject.

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `reason` | `string` | No |  |
| `subject` | `string` (did) | Yes | The account vouched for. Never the author. |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | Client-declared time of the statement. |
| `signatures` | `ref` → `app.certified.signature.defs#list` | No | Inline signatures per the ATProtocol Attestation Specification; attest requires one from the author's device key (did:key, delegated from their passkey). |
