JEP GitHub Action v0.6

GitHub Action seed for generating JEP v0.6 event artifacts from GitHub workflow activity.

This repository replaces the earlier JEP-04 / accountability-receipt demo language with a JEP v0.6 workflow integration seed.

Positioning

This action generates JEP-style event artifacts for GitHub workflows.

It is intended for:

• pull request review traces;
• issue triage events;
• workflow approval events;
• release or deployment decision records;
• CI/CD audit artifacts.

It does not determine:

• legal liability;
• factual truth;
• regulatory compliance;
• authorization validity;
• complete-log availability;
• moral responsibility.

A generated event artifact is a structured protocol object. It is not a legal conclusion.

Alignment

Aligned with:

• JEP-Core: draft-wang-jep-judgment-event-protocol-06
• JEP-Profiles: draft-wang-jep-profiles-00
• JEP-Conformance: draft-wang-jep-conformance-00

Public draft:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wang-jep-judgment-event-protocol/

What this Action emits

The action emits:

• a JEP v0.6-style event JSON object;
• an algorithm-tagged event hash;
• a JEP-style validation result;
• optional artifact upload.

The action can run in two modes:

Mode	Meaning
artifact	Generate unsigned local JEP event artifacts
api	Send the event draft to a JEP API signer/verifier

In artifact mode, the action intentionally uses:

sig: "UNSIGNED-WORKFLOW-ARTIFACT"

It does not pretend that a local hash is a signature.

For signed events, configure mode: api and provide a JEP API endpoint.
