Fields

Field Required Shape Description
schema yes const: contact-request.v1
schema/v yes const: 1
request/id yes string
request/kind yes enum: messaging-contact
sender/display-name no string
sender/subject yes ref: #/$defs/subject
sender/handle-proof-ref no string Optional email-control or phone-control passport reference proving that the sender controls the displayed contact handle.
sender/reply-route no ref: #/$defs/subject
recipient/route no ref: #/$defs/subject Optional explicit recipient route. Contact Catalog lookup deliveries MAY omit it; the receiving node then binds the request to the local node-id selected by the delivery route.
recipient/public-handle-ref no string Opaque reference to the external handle used for lookup. Raw email or phone MAY be stored locally, but network artifacts SHOULD prefer a redacted or digest-bound reference.
requested/capability-id yes enum: messaging-receive Capability passport profile requested from the recipient if the user accepts.
requested/purposes yes array
greeting no string
issued/at yes string
expires/at yes string
correlation/id no string
