Harden registry v1 interop spec and ship conformance harness

Registry federation was aspirational while the spec drifted ahead of
the reference server. v0.4.7 closes that gap.

- docs/spec/registry-v1.md: canonicalization algorithm pinned
  (sort_keys + compact separators, UTF-8), uniform error envelope and
  code vocabulary, full endpoint table including normative beacon
  paths (/p/.png, /r/, /v/), /.well-known shape, /evidence bundle
  fields, /tlog/head|proof|range. Removed a phantom /query/{file_id}
  endpoint that the reference never shipped.
- tests/test_registry_conformance.py: 32-check harness with two
  modes. In-process against a FastAPI TestClient for CI, or against
  a live URL when OVERSIGHT_REGISTRY_URL is set. Covers identity,
  liveness, a full signed-manifest round trip, sidecar mismatch
  rejection, attribution, evidence bundle shape, transparency log
  head, every beacon endpoint, and DNS event auth.
- docs/ROADMAP.md: federation item marked hardened and references
  the harness as the v1 acceptance gate.
- README.md / CHANGELOG.md: v0.4.7 release notes.
- Version bumped to 0.4.7. No breaking changes.

	+	## v0.4.7 - 2026-04-22 Registry federation hardening and conformance harness
	+
	+	Federation stops being aspirational when a second operator can prove
	+	compatibility. v0.4.7 hardens the registry v1 interop spec against the
	+	reference implementation and ships a conformance harness that any
	+	operator can point at their deployment.
	+
	+	- `docs/spec/registry-v1.md`: expanded with the canonicalization algorithm
	+	(`json.dumps(sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":"))` over UTF-8), the
	+	uniform error envelope and `code` vocabulary, a full endpoint table
	+	including the normative beacon paths (`/p/{token_id}.png`, `/r/{token_id}`,
	+	`/v/{token_id}`), the `/.well-known/oversight-registry` shape, the
	+	`/evidence/{file_id}` bundle fields, and the `/tlog/head\|proof\|range`
	+	endpoints federated verifiers rely on. Removed a phantom
	+	`/query/{file_id}` endpoint that was in the draft but never shipped.
	+	- `tests/test_registry_conformance.py`: 32-check harness with two modes.
	+	In-process against a FastAPI `TestClient` for CI, or against a live URL
	+	when `OVERSIGHT_REGISTRY_URL` is set. Covers identity, liveness, a full
	+	signed-manifest registration round trip, attribution by token id,
	+	evidence bundle shape, transparency-log head, every beacon endpoint,
	+	and DNS event authentication.
	+	- `docs/ROADMAP.md`: the registry federation item references the harness
	+	as the acceptance gate for federation.
	+	- Version bumped to `0.4.7`. No breaking changes.

		# Oversight Registry v1 Interop Draft

	-	Status: draft; wire format is not stable until v1.0.
	-
	-	This document defines the minimum interoperable registry surface for an
	-	independent Oversight registry operator. It follows OpenAPI 3.1 conventions for
	-	schema shape and keeps Oversight-specific policy out of the transport where
	-	possible.
	+	Status: draft; the wire format is not stable until Oversight v1.0. This
	+	document tracks the surface a second operator needs to implement to run
	+	a registry that the Python and Rust reference clients can treat as
	+	interchangeable with the origin deployment.

		## Goals

	-	- Let more than one operator run a compatible attribution registry.
	-	- Preserve issuer-signed manifest authority: request sidecars MUST match the
	-	manifest's signed `beacons` and `watermarks` arrays.
	-	- Keep beacon callbacks passive and authenticated between DNS/web beacon
	-	collectors and the registry.
	-	- Preserve local or public transparency-log evidence for every registration
	-	and event.
	+	- Let more than one operator run a compatible attribution registry so
	+	"open protocol" is a property of the code and not of a hostname.
	+	- Preserve issuer-signed manifest authority: every registration sidecar
	+	MUST match the manifest's signed `beacons` and `watermarks` arrays
	+	byte for byte.
	+	- Keep beacon callbacks authenticated between DNS or web beacon
	+	collectors and the registry so spoofed events cannot pollute the
	+	attribution record.
	+	- Preserve local or public transparency-log evidence for every
	+	registration and every event, and expose proofs that a federated
	+	verifier can fetch without trusting the operator.

		## Common Requirements

	-	- All JSON request bodies SHOULD be UTF-8 encoded.
	-	- Registries MUST reject unknown oversized identifiers. The reference limit is
	-	256 bytes for `file_id`, `mark_id`, `token_id`, `recipient_id`, and
	-	`issuer_id`.
	-	- Registries MUST verify the Ed25519 signature on the manifest before writing
	-	beacons, watermarks, corpus hashes, Rekor entries, or tlog events.
	-	- Registries MUST NOT accept beacon or watermark sidecars that differ from the
	-	issuer-signed manifest copies.
	-	- DNS event callbacks from non-loopback clients MUST authenticate with
	-	`X-Oversight-DNS-Secret` or an equivalent deployment-specific channel.
	+	### Transport
	+
	+	- All request and response bodies are JSON unless a specific endpoint
	+	says otherwise. Content-Type MUST be `application/json; charset=utf-8`
	+	for request bodies that carry one.
	+	- Registries MUST reject identifiers larger than 256 bytes for each of
	+	`file_id`, `mark_id`, `token_id`, `recipient_id`, and `issuer_id`.
	+	- Registries SHOULD apply a per-client rate limit and return HTTP 429
	+	with the standard error envelope when exceeded.
	+
	+	### Canonicalization
	+
	+	The manifest signature is computed over a canonical JSON serialization
	+	with the following exact rules. Implementations that deviate cannot
	+	verify manifests produced by the reference client.
	+
	+	1. Serialize the manifest dictionary with recursively sorted keys.
	+	2. Use the separators `","` and `":"` with no whitespace.
	+	3. Encode the resulting string as UTF-8 before feeding it to the
	+	Ed25519 verifier.
	+	4. The `signature_ed25519` field is stripped before canonicalization
	+	and re-attached to the signed object before it is wire-transmitted.
	+
	+	In Python the canonical form matches
	+	`json.dumps(manifest, sort_keys=True, separators=(",", ":")).encode("utf-8")`.
	+	In Rust the reference implementation uses the `canonical_json` crate
	+	with identical output. The cross-language conformance suite pins this.
	+
	+	### Signature verification
	+
	+	- Registries MUST verify `manifest.signature_ed25519` before writing
	+	any beacon, watermark, corpus hash, Rekor entry, or transparency-log
	+	event.
	+	- Registries MUST NOT accept beacon or watermark sidecars that differ
	+	from the manifest's signed arrays. Comparison uses the canonicalized
	+	per-item JSON after sorting by canonical bytes.
	+	- Re-registration under the same `file_id` MUST require the same
	+	`issuer_ed25519_pub` as the original record. A mismatch returns
	+	HTTP 409.
	+
	+	### Error envelope
	+
	+	Non-2xx responses MUST carry a JSON envelope:
	+
	+	```json
	+	{"error": {"code": "signature_invalid", "message": "manifest signature invalid"}}
	+	```
	+
	+	Implementations MAY include additional fields under `error` (for
	+	example, `retry_after` on 429), but consumers rely only on `code`
	+	and `message`.
	+
	+	The defined `code` values in v1:
	+
	+	\| Code \| HTTP \| When \|
	+	\|------\|------\|------\|
	+	\| `missing_field` \| 400 \| A required field is absent \|
	+	\| `signature_invalid` \| 400 \| Manifest Ed25519 verification failed \|
	+	\| `sidecar_mismatch` \| 400 \| Request beacons or watermarks differ from the signed manifest \|
	+	\| `issuer_mismatch` \| 409 \| `file_id` already registered under a different issuer pubkey \|
	+	\| `auth_required` \| 401 \| DNS event callback missing required secret \|
	+	\| `rate_limited` \| 429 \| Client exceeded per-key token bucket \|
	+	\| `not_found` \| 404 \| Queried record does not exist \|
	+	\| `server_error` \| 500 \| Registry internal failure \|

	-	## Evidence Bundle
	+	- `file_id`: echoes the path parameter
	+	- `bundle_generated_at`: registry clock timestamp, for context
	+	- `registry_pub`: the registry's Ed25519 public key hex, matching
	+	`/.well-known/oversight-registry`
	+	- `manifest`: the signed manifest object (signature still attached)
	+	- `beacons`: registered beacon rows for this file
	+	- `watermarks`: registered watermark rows for this file
	+	- `events`: registry event rows for this file, ordered by timestamp
	+	- `tlog_head`: the current signed tree head; when the registry has no
	+	transparency log configured, this field is `null`
	+	- `tlog_proofs`: array of inclusion proofs for the rows in `events`
	+	that have a `tlog_index`; each proof carries `event_row`,
	+	`tlog_index`, and `inclusion`

	-	Evidence bundles SHOULD contain:
	+	Optional fields:

	-	- manifest JSON and signature
	-	- registry event rows
	-	- local tlog signed tree head
	-	- inclusion proof for every bundled tlog event
	-	- Rekor DSSE bundle, if public transparency was requested
	+	- `rekor`: the sigstore-compatible DSSE bundle when public attestation
	+	is enabled; `bundle_schema` MUST be `2`
	+	- `disclaimer`: a human-readable note about the bundle's legal posture
	+	- `bundle_signature_ed25519`: registry signature over the canonical
	+	bundle bytes, present on all conforming responses

	-	## Federation Notes
	+	Unknown `file_id` returns HTTP 404 with the standard error envelope.

	-	The wire format MUST NOT require the official `oversightprotocol.dev` domain.
	-	Operators may run their own registry and beacon domains as long as manifests
	+	## `/tlog/head`, `/tlog/proof/{index}`, `/tlog/range`
	+
	+	These expose the local transparency log so a federated verifier can
	+	monitor it without relying on the registry's own query responses.
	+	The signed tree head MUST be Ed25519-signed by the registry identity
	+	key advertised at `/.well-known/oversight-registry`.
	+
	+	## Beacon endpoints
	+
	+	Beacon paths are normative because manifests embed URLs that follow
	+	these shapes and the Python and Rust clients assemble them the same
	+	way.
	+
	+	\| Path \| Kind stored in `events` \|
	+	\|------\|------------------------\|
	+	\| `GET /p/{token_id}.png` \| `http_img` \|
	+	\| `GET /r/{token_id}`, `GET /ocsp/r/{token_id}` \| `ocsp` \|
	+	\| `GET /v/{token_id}`, `GET /lic/v/{token_id}` \| `license` \|
	+
	+	Responses MUST return 200 for well-formed token IDs so resolvers and
	+	document viewers do not retry. The pixel endpoint returns a 1x1 PNG;
	+	the OCSP endpoint returns an empty 200; the license endpoint returns
	+	`{"valid": true}`.
	+
	+	## Federation notes
	+
	+	The wire format MUST NOT require the official `oversightprotocol.dev`
	+	domain. Operators run their own registry and beacon domains; manifests
		declare the registry URL and beacon descriptors unambiguously.
	+
	+	Operators SHOULD:
	+
	+	- Publish `/.well-known/oversight-registry` on HTTPS.
	+	- Serve a stable `ed25519_pub`. Rotating this key breaks the chain
	+	of evidence for already-registered files.
	+	- Run Rekor attestation enabled so the public log is the root of
	+	trust for federated verifiers.
	+
	+	## Conformance
	+
	+	The repository ships a conformance harness at
	+	`tests/test_registry_conformance.py` that exercises every endpoint in
	+	this document against a registry URL. The harness is the canonical
	+	test of whether an independent implementation is compatible. Operators
	+	run it with:
	+
	+	```
	+	OVERSIGHT_REGISTRY_URL=https://registry.example.org \
	+	python3 tests/test_registry_conformance.py
	+	```
	+
	+	The harness uses a throwaway issuer identity, posts a minimal valid
	+	manifest, and then validates the responses. Runs against the local
	+	reference registry are included in CI; operator-hosted runs are the
	+	interop acceptance gate for federation.
