Proposal: add a versioned public-safe JSON export for downstream tools

Start by locating the existing full JSON export, the VERSION value, and the representations for completed lanes and probe metadata. Agree the public-safe envelope with maintainers, then add an offline test for the version, metadata, selected results, and excluded fields; document the non-authentication and non-safety-rating boundary.

Context

ModelPrint currently exports completed lanes as an unversioned JSON array:

[
  {
    "provider": "openrouter",
    "model": "example/model",
    "results": {},
    "raw": {}
  }
]

The existing export is useful for local forensic analysis: raw intentionally preserves timing, headers, request IDs, and error details. This proposal would keep that export available and add a separate, versioned public-safe export for downstream tools.

This is an interoperability/format proposal, not a vulnerability report.

Consumer use case

I am exploring optional interoperability with API Relay Audit, following the documentation contribution merged in ModelPrint PR #4.

API Relay Audit would treat a ModelPrint artifact as independent, informational model-fingerprint evidence. It would not turn fingerprint matches into an audit verdict, include them in its 6D risk matrix, imply ModelPrint endorsement, or claim that shared infrastructure proves model identity.

Proposal

Add a second export path, such as Public-safe JSON, with a small versioned envelope. For example:

{
  "schema_version": "modelprint-export-v1",
  "tool_version": "0.7.4",
  "generated_at": "2026-08-24T00:00:00Z",
  "export_mode": "public-safe",
  "probes": [
    {"id": "tok-english", "version": "1.0.0"}
  ],
  "lanes": [
    {
      "provider": "openrouter",
      "model": "example/model",
      "results": {
        "tok-english": 42
      }
    }
  ],
  "raw_included": false
}

The exact field names are open to maintainer preference; the important interoperability properties are an explicit schema version, the ModelPrint version, probe IDs plus versions, and a public-safe lane/result collection.

Suggested acceptance criteria

• Keep the current full forensic JSON export available.
• Add a distinct public-safe export path.
• Include a schema version, ModelPrint version, generation timestamp, and selected probe versions.
• Export only completed lanes and selected probes' deterministic value results.
• Exclude raw, response headers, request IDs, timing samples, error bodies, custom endpoints, and pinned hosts.
• Add an offline test covering the envelope, consistency with VERSION, probe metadata, and absence of excluded fields.
• Document that fingerprints are infrastructure/model-family signals, not identity authentication or a safety rating.

If this boundary fits ModelPrint's direction, I can follow up with an implementation PR after the schema shape is agreed.
