High-level system map with diagrams, TOC, and a docs index. Template worker shows how to add a new verae.* address for search, storage, or unplanned functions without teaching Zapier NATS.

7. External resources: search, storage, and the chain
| Resource | Where | How a Zap reaches it |
|---|---|---|
| Central chain (itemized SHA-256 + time + certificate) | api.veraetime.net or MOCK |
HTTPS via middleware: create / wait / GET /hashes/{sha256} |
| Bulk Merkle root | Same chain, one seal | POST /timestamp/batch |
| Leaf proofs (hash only in a bulk summary) | Tree-node WORM on NATS | GET /hashes/{sha}?includeTree=true → verae.archive.query kinds=tree |
| Public / private metadata, files | WORM archives | includeAttached; never on chain |
| Search (central) | Chain lookup | Zapier search Find Timestamp by SHA256 |
| Search (external tree / extra stores) | NATS query to every node that might hold the key | Zapier search Find Hash (tree nodes + central) |
| Future search / store | New verae.search.* or verae.store.* process |
Copy verae-nats-process; optional middleware GET |
Storage that is not the blockchain stays on WORM/tree nodes (and later any process that answers verae.archive.query or a new store address). The chain stores hash + time + certificate (+ Merkle root for batches).
External “unplanned” storage or search is the same pattern: new address, bloom or index on that node, silence on miss, aggregator or the template’s reply subject.
