+# verae-archive-aggregator
+
+When a wait path sets `includeAttached`, this process broadcasts `verae.archive.query` and **merges** replies into the job JSON. Silent bloom misses omit slices; the chain receipt still succeeds.

+cd packages/verae-archive-aggregator
+npm test

+
+## Addresses
+
+| Direction | Subject |
+|-----------|---------|
+| out | `verae.archive.query` `{ correlationId, sha256, tenantId, kinds[] }` |
+| in | `verae.archive.reply.<correlationId>` (hits only) |
+
+## Depends on
+
+- middleware wait path (`includeAttached` / `includeTree`)
+- one or more archive-worm and/or tree-node replicas
+- NATS (private)
+
+Timeout: missing archives omit their records; do not fail the seal.
