TSMM to Verifiable Trust Communities Binding

Purpose

This binding packages the Verifiable Trust Communities extension into the same machine-readable binding shape used for external ecosystem mappings. That allows community-oriented TSMM deployments to publish VTC alignment as infrastructure rather than prose.

Why it exists

The VTC extension has been one of the more developed TSMM specializations, but until now it was not represented in the binding catalog. v0.11.0 closes that gap.

Binding summary

The binding maps the main VTC abstractions into TSMM:

Artifact

Notes

The VTC binding is useful both for comparison across ecosystems and for publication through the TSMM registry format where extension-specific artifacts need first-class indexing.

Contract and constraints

This binding now includes an explicit contract section in bindings/vtc/tsmm-vtc-binding.json and a paired constraint set at bindings/vtc/constraints.json. Together they record what the mapping preserves, where it becomes approximate, and what should not be inferred without the target ecosystem’s own rules.
