## Overview

Open Trust Dashboard is a static, client-side trust and provenance interface. Users choose a dashboard workflow, and app.js handles the interaction and updates the page: verifying file digests and signatures, signing or attesting provenance, managing requests, and exploring trust data. The README describes decentralized registry visualization and auditing; excerpts also show GitHub-backed signature lookup and issue-based attestation. The source is partial, so uncertain endpoint wiring for requests and exploration is not shown.

Main entry points: [`app.js`](https://github.com/lastexitfromnowhere/open-trust-dashboard/blob/main/app.js) (UI controller), [`index.html`](https://github.com/lastexitfromnowhere/open-trust-dashboard/blob/main/index.html) (Dashboard page)
