Nine files for verifying a KNOBE v1 implementation against the normative specification. Run each file through your verifier and compare the result to the expected outcome below.
Reference verifier: lens.py (python3 lens.py <file>). An implementation that reproduces all nine expected results is canonically compatible with KNOBE Protocol v1. A further ten adversarial hardening vectors exercise hostile input beyond the conformance bar, and six interpretation vectors pin the rulings in ERRATA.md for questions the specification text left open.
| File | Expected outcome | What it tests |
|---|---|---|
| full-valid.knobe.md | verified · body_verified yes · conformance valid | Complete, fully populated valid KNOBE |
| minimal-valid.knobe.md | verified · body_verified omitted · conformance valid | Minimum required fields only; no body_hash |
| unicode-valid.knobe.md | verified · body_verified yes · conformance valid | Unicode content in body and payload; verifier must apply NFC normalization to the payload before hashing |
| multi-block.knobe.md | verified · body_verified omitted · conformance warnings | Multiple BEGIN KNOBE B64 blocks present; verifier must use the last block and surface a warning |
| omitted-body-hash.knobe.md | verified · body_verified omitted · conformance valid | Payload verifies; no body_hash field, so body verification is intentionally skipped |
| numeric-violation.knobe.md | verified · body_verified yes · conformance invalid | Hashes intact; a numeric field violates a conformance rule, so the verifier must flag conformance as invalid while still reporting verified |
| body-modified.knobe.md | verified-body-modified · body_verified modified · conformance valid | Payload hash intact; body text altered after sealing, so the verifier reports a distinct body-modified status |
| payload-modified.knobe.md | failed · conformance valid | Payload JSON altered after sealing; payload hash mismatch, so the verifier must report failed |
| unreadable.knobe.md | unreadable · conformance invalid | Malformed Base64 block; verifier must report unreadable without crashing |
