George Lambert b40e862082 feat(macos): Verae Timestamping in Print Destination list

Replace buried PDF Services as the primary UX with an IPP Everywhere
virtual printer (ippeveprinter LaunchAgent) named Verae Timestamping.
Jobs save {name}.pdf + {name}-verae-timestamp-{RECEIPTID}.pdf.
Also add /Applications/Verae Print Stamp.app for drop/Open With.

PrintToVeraeTimeStamp

macOS Print → PDF helper that saves {name}.pdf, stamps the digest with Verae, and writes {name}-verae-timestamp-{RECEIPTID}.pdf.

Only the SHA-256 digest is sent to Verae. Document bytes never leave the machine.

Install

cd /Users/marchon/research/PrintToVeraeTimeStamp
go build -o "$HOME/bin/verae-print" ./cmd/verae-print
verae-print install-printer   # Print → Destination → Verae Timestamping

Optional (buried PDF submenu): verae-print install-macos

Ensure $HOME/bin is on your PATH. Refresh Verae Time login when the JWT expires:

uvx verae-mcp-timestamping-server setup
# or session check:
uvx verae-mcp-timestamping-server session

For the Zapier channel, store an xVerae- token from customer.verae.ai / zap.verae.ai Security tab:

mkdir -p ~/.verae
chmod 700 ~/.verae
printenv XVERAE_TOKEN > ~/.verae/xverae-token   # or paste once
chmod 600 ~/.verae/xverae-token

Usage

In any app: File → Print → Destination → Verae Timestamping → Print.

Also: drop a PDF on Verae Print Stamp in /Applications, or Open With.

CLI:

verae-print stamp [--channel=verae|zapier] [--out-dir DIR] [--name STEM] [--open] file.pdf

Default output directory: ~/Documents/Verae Timestamps/

File	Content
`{name}.pdf`	Exact printed bytes (proven artifact)
`{name}-verae-timestamp-{RECEIPTID}.pdf`	Registration / certificate PDF
`{name}.verae.json`	Receipt sidecar

Channels:

verae (default) — api.veraetime.net + JWT in ~/.verae/auth.properties
zapier — zap.verae.ai + xVerae- + attachPdf:true

Status

macOS v0 (PDF Services) is implemented. CUPS virtual printer, Linux, and Windows remain per the spec and plan.
