ark seal

Certify your package's audit score and lock its price. The seal is a registry-issued token that proves your package was audited and priced before submission.

Syntax

ark seal

How it works

After running ark audit --full --save, the seal command reads your local audit-report.json, verifies the content hash, and requests a seal token from the registry.

• Free packages — sealed automatically at $0
• Paid packages — you choose a price within the audit-determined range

The seal is stored in the registry's audit_seals table and consumed when your package passes review after ark publish.

Prerequisites

• A full audit report: ark audit --full --save
• An authenticated session: ark login
• Score above the publish threshold (60 for free, 75 for paid)
