Reading the output

When you add --json, commands answer in a blob of fields that can look like noise the first time. This page translates the ones you will actually read, so you know what the wallet is telling you.

status — wallet --json status#

output

{"data":{"account_count":1,"active_chain_id":"0xaa36a7","api_version":22,"locked":false},"kind":"status"}

Field	Meaning
account_count	How many addresses exist. 0 = no wallet created yet.
active_chain_id	The current chain as hex text, or null if none set. 0x34622 is the Chunknet default — switch before transacting.
locked	true = keys are not in memory; the daemon cannot sign. Run wallet wallet unlock.
api_version	The host contract version the daemon speaks.

The full status also carries initialized, backup_verified, backup_verification_required, lock_reason, session_last_activity_at, and vault_document_fingerprint. The two that matter most day to day:

lock_reason — why you're locked: startup, manual, idle_timeout, runtime_reset, vault_document_changed.
backup_verification_required — true on a freshly created wallet until you run verify-backup; signing is blocked until then.

Proposal summary — proposal get --id#

The important fields when you're deciding what to do:

Field	Meaning
id	The proposal id you pass to every proposal ... command.
state	pending, approved, executed, rejected, cancelled, expired.
approval_requirement	The quorum contract: required_total, human_required, and any named requirements.
quorum	Progress: approved_total, remaining_total, missing_human, remaining_principal_ids, ready_for_execution.
approvals	Who has approved so far.
review	The frozen semantic review (present for transaction/Safe proposals).
risk	Effective risk of the reviewed payload.
workflow	Claim/handoff/review-marker state, if any.
execution	The broadcast record, once executed.

Reading quorum answers "why is this still pending?" at a glance: remaining_total: 1 means one more approval; missing_human: true means the remaining approval must be a human.

Review artifact — proposal review --id#

Field	Meaning
review_status	complete (confident), degraded (reduced confidence), blocked (unsafe for a machine).
effective_risk	The risk level assigned to this payload.
warnings	Non-blocking caveats. Informational — don't pattern-match them for security.
blocking_reasons	Explicit reasons a machine may not approve. Surface these to a human.
artifact_hash	The fingerprint your approval is bound to.
contract_call / safe_call	The decoded call: selector/signature, predicted effects, touched contracts, effect confidence.

Drift comparison — proposal compare-review --id#

Field	Meaning
equivalent	true = no drift; false = the environment changed, execution will be blocked.
comparison_status	"equivalent" or "drifted".
code_hash_changed, implementation_changed, effects_changed	Which kind of drift.
changed_fields	The specific semantic fields that differ.

me — wallet --json me#

Field	Meaning
principal_id	Your logical identity (stable across token rotation).
principal_kind	human_operator, cli_client, mcp_client, service_account.
capabilities	What this token may attempt.
