The documentation opens with the code, under Apache‑2.0, in about thirty days. Until then, the mapping to the EU AI Act is already published and the film says the rest.

Listing 1 is the accounts‑payable invoice type the demonstration runs, in the SDK shape the repository will ship: fields, states, edges with their authors, guards, invariants and one instruction per edge. The child types, LineItem and Payment, follow the same shape.
