amaru is the Brain organ of the SZL anatomy. It mints governance receipts anchored to the Cardano blockchain, schedules memory operations through a 7-chakra serpentine scheduler, and encodes provenance using Shor-inspired compression.

## What it does

| Capability | Detail |
|-----------|--------|
| Receipt minting | DSSE-signed governance receipts with Cardano timestamp |
| Scheduler | 7-chakra serpentine — priority-aware memory routing |
| Provenance encoding | Shor-inspired compression of agent history |
| Chain position | First link in 5-link DSSE receipt chain |
| License | Proprietary (relicense PR #46 DRAFT, Apache-2.0 pending) |

## Run this in 30 seconds

```bash
# Verify the attestation endpoint (Docker MCP server)
curl https://szlholdings-mcp-receipts-server.hf.space/get_attestation_chain
# Returns: chain with amaru as first link, mocked:false
```
