Read a receipt · Hypervibe Docs

What a run receipt records, how the verifier's verdict differs from the receiver's decision, and how cost reads when part of it is unknown.

A run receipt shows the full cost of one commissioned run in one document. It joins records that other parts of Hypervibe keep, owns none of them and changes none of them. It is put together on the machine that commissioned the run.

Four facts stay separate, and the receipt shows each #

Fact	Recorded by	What it never means
Request (the commission)	You, before work starts	That the work succeeded
Job receipt	Reactor, for each build or verification job	A verdict; it counts as evidence only when it carries the recipe's own exit status
Verdict	A verifier other than the producer	Acceptance
Disposition	The receiver named in the commission	A verdict; the two are recorded apart

A receipt lists every attempt and every cost line #

A receipt names the run and its commission, the revision the run started from, the candidate it produced, the verdict and the disposition. It lists every attempt in order, including failed, cancelled and unknown ones, each with its model calls, its jobs and a cost line for each. Costs that match no attempt, such as planning calls, are listed separately and still count. The receipt states how far it read the usage records; a later receipt that read further replaces it.

The verdict says what the verifier found #

Verdict	Mark	Meaning
pass	`✓`	The verifier ran the commission's fixed recipe on the exact candidate, and every required check passed
fail	`×`	It ran, and a required check failed; the verdict names what failed
inconclusive	`⚠`	It ran, but the evidence does not decide: an input or test was missing, the base moved, it timed out or an outcome stayed unknown
error	`⚠`	Verification never reached a result, for example because it was refused or a worker was lost; it says nothing about the candidate
not checked	`·`	No verdict exists, because there is no candidate or no verifier has recorded one; this is how a missing verdict is shown, never a stored verdict, and never shown as a pass

The disposition is the receiver's decision #

Disposition	Mark	Meaning
awaiting acceptance	`…`	No disposition yet: the receiver has not decided, and a pass alone reads this way
accepted	`✓`	The receiver accepted this exact candidate
rejected	`×`	The receiver rejected it, with one reason and optional short text

A disposition is accepted or rejected, and it names the receiver and the exact candidate it applies to. Awaiting acceptance is the absence of one, never a third decision.

A rejection names one reason #

Reason	When the receiver picks it
needs revision	The result is close; the commission is revised and gets a new id
incorrect	The change does the wrong thing
wrong target	It is aimed at the wrong repository, branch, file or objective
insufficient evidence	The verdict or evidence does not let the receiver decide
not needed	The work is no longer wanted
other	None of the above, or the surface could not offer a choice; the text says why

Each cost line is settled, estimated or unknown #

State	Carries	Comes from
settled	An amount	Final settlement by the owner of the money
estimated	An amount and its basis	A list price for the tokens used, or a rate for a job's measured resources
unknown	A reason, and no amount	Any line with neither

A settlement always wins over an estimate. A line is unknown when no usage was recorded for a call, when a request was sent but its usage has not been read yet, when no price exists, when a job has no receipt, when nothing rated a finished job, or when a job has not ended.

Totals never hide what is unknown #

Settled and estimated amounts are summed separately and never added into one figure. A sum with no lines behind it is empty, never 0. A receipt is complete only when no line is unknown; an incomplete receipt shows its known parts and the number of unknown lines, never a total. A model call served by a subscription has no cash price per call, so its list price is an estimate, not cash.

Held money is reserved, not settled #

Budgets read three figures: settled is final spend, held is money reserved on active holds, and remaining is the limit minus both. A reservation is a hold, not settled cost, and spend whose outcome is unknown stays held until it is reconciled. While usage is still settling, the Result card reads "cost pending".
