 29      Identity data and attestations are stored as Git refs under `refs/auths/`. Your `~/.auths` repo is the single source of truth. No database, no central server, no chain -- just Git.

 35      Create a stable `did:keri` identity and link your laptop, phone, and CI server via signed attestations. Every device signs as **you**. Revoke a lost device in one command.

 41      Embed `auths-verifier` via WASM, FFI, or native Rust. Verify attestation chains in browsers, CI pipelines, and backend services -- no network call required.
