47. Registry, title interests, liens, restrictions, and transfer clearance

RTracer can aggregate official and private registry evidence without pretending to become every registry. Vehicle identity, legal-account identity, title interest, beneficial interest, lien or encumbrance, custody, possession, profile administration, seller authority, restriction, and platform transfer clearance are separate records.
#47.1 Registry identifiers and issuer assertions
Registry identifiers are IdentifierAssertions scoped to issuer namespace, native system, normalization version, subject, jurisdiction, and effective interval. A VIN, registration mark, radio identifier, serial, model number, MAC address, aviation registration, maritime identifier, rail number, club number, or RC transponder can contribute identity evidence but MUST NOT independently prove continuity, ownership, legality, or fitness.
#47.2 Title-interest assertions
A TitleInterestAssertion names asset, asserted holders, interest class, issuer assertion, native status, effective interval, priority or order where supplied, restrictions, and state. Interest classes are vocabulary terms supplied by jurisdiction packs; the kernel does not collapse them into a universal owner boolean.
#47.3 Encumbrance and release assertions
An EncumbranceAssertion records interested principals, class, issuer evidence, amount where disclosed, effective interval, native status, and any later release assertion. A release only addresses the encumbrance it identifies. A release predating a newer encumbrance MUST NOT support a no-lien projection.
#47.4 Theft, recall, salvage, inspection, and transfer restrictions
RegistryRestrictionAssertion represents attributed restrictions on defined action families and, when relevant, exact configurations or operation classes. Theft reports, recalls, salvage status, inspection failures, export/import restrictions, immobilization, safety holds, court orders, sanctions, club bans, or event eligibility decisions remain issuer-specific facts. Public display is separately policy controlled.
#47.5 Conflict-preserving status assessment
RegistryStatusAssessment is a derived claim over exact query receipts and assertions. It reports matched, missing, stale, disputed, conflicting, and unavailable inputs. The derivation explains source priority policy without discarding lower-priority evidence. New relevant registry evidence invalidates dependent clearance projections.
#47.6 Transfer-clearance decision
TransferClearanceDecision binds the proposed transfer, required check kinds, query receipts, title interests, encumbrances, restrictions, seller-authority decision, missing/conflicted/stale inputs, conditions, decider, effective time, and expiry. Results are CLEAR_FOR_PLATFORM_STEP, CONDITIONAL, BLOCKED, or INDETERMINATE.
“Clear” means only that the named platform policy permits the named next step until expiry. It is not a universal legal conclusion. Payment, possession, custody, a signed profile, a popular persona, or platform account control MUST NOT satisfy title clearance.
