# Notice

**The specification stays the authority.** The Protocol and Operations notes
in this vault are a plain-language expansion of the RAPP/1 specification. Each
one names the section it restates and the upstream commit it was written
against. Where a note and the specification differ, the specification wins.

## Upstream specification

- **Name:** RAPP/1 specification
- **Repository:** https://github.com/kody-w/rapp-1
- **Pinned commit:** `0b24e7d60786d39d97265338add9ca784bf5a7ab`
- **Licence:** MIT

## Vault viewer

The browser viewer (`vault.js`, `vault.css`) is adapted from the RAPP vault
viewer by the same author, provided to this repository under the MIT licence.

## Markdown renderer

`marked.min.js` is marked 12.0.2, MIT licence. Its notice is in
`vendor/marked-LICENSE.txt`.

## MIT licence (upstream specification and viewer)
