# Record an age-verification attestation

> Appends ONE row to the durable age-verification compliance trail: that a check was performed, by which operator, for which transaction, when, and with what outcome. This is the record a merchant produces to a regulator, so only ever call it as the immediate consequence of a real check a human performed at the till. It is APPEND-ONLY: no endpoint amends or deletes a row, and a wrong one stays in the trail forever. Never call it to 'backfill' history, to satisfy a workflow, or on anyone else's behalf.

Fields. `transactionRef` links the check to the sale it belongs to. `outcome` is the decision the till acted on: `pass` (the customer was old enough and was served), `block` (they were not and the sale was refused) or `needs_check` (the proof was inconclusive) — report what actually happened, never what would be convenient. `at` is optional and defaults to the server clock; send the till's own ISO instant when the check ran offline and is only now syncing, so the record keeps its true time. `id` is optional and only exists for idempotency — omit it and a deterministic one is derived; supply the SAME id to make a retry safe rather than duplicating the row.

PRIVACY, and it is enforced, not advisory: the body is STRICT and carries no customer identity. There is no field for a date of birth, a name or a document number, and a body containing one is rejected with a 400 rather than stored — so a retry that 'adds the proof' will always fail. `operatorId` is likewise NOT accepted: it is re-derived from the authenticated actor, so the trail always names the credential that called, and a body carrying it is a 400. Whatever token you hold is the operator the record will blame.

Gating: the router rides the till scope `pos.checkout.operate` and the use-case additionally asserts the kernel `sale:create` — which that scope does imply, so the two agree here. Returns 201 with the stored row.

    The Solya POS backend HTTP surface. Every documented operation is

    Success responses return the payload as raw JSON; failures return the
    `ErrorResponse` envelope (`{ error: { code, message, statusCode } }`).

      summary: Record an age-verification attestation
      description: >-
        Appends ONE row to the durable age-verification compliance trail: that a
        check was performed, by which operator, for which transaction, when, and
        with what outcome. This is the record a merchant produces to a
        regulator, so only ever call it as the immediate consequence of a real
        check a human performed at the till. It is APPEND-ONLY: no endpoint
        amends or deletes a row, and a wrong one stays in the trail forever.
        Never call it to 'backfill' history, to satisfy a workflow, or on anyone
        else's behalf.


        Fields. `transactionRef` links the check to the sale it belongs to.
        `outcome` is the decision the till acted on: `pass` (the customer was
        old enough and was served), `block` (they were not and the sale was
        refused) or `needs_check` (the proof was inconclusive) — report what
        actually happened, never what would be convenient. `at` is optional and
        defaults to the server clock; send the till's own ISO instant when the
        check ran offline and is only now syncing, so the record keeps its true
        time. `id` is optional and only exists for idempotency — omit it and a
        deterministic one is derived; supply the SAME id to make a retry safe
        rather than duplicating the row.


        PRIVACY, and it is enforced, not advisory: the body is STRICT and
        carries no customer identity. There is no field for a date of birth, a
        name or a document number, and a body containing one is rejected with a
        400 rather than stored — so a retry that 'adds the proof' will always
        fail. `operatorId` is likewise NOT accepted: it is re-derived from the
        authenticated actor, so the trail always names the credential that
        called, and a body carrying it is a 400. Whatever token you hold is the
        operator the record will blame.


        Gating: the router rides the till scope `pos.checkout.operate` and the
        use-case additionally asserts the kernel `sale:create` — which that
        scope does imply, so the two agree here. Returns 201 with the stored
        row.
