Notarize and demo

In a configured workflow channel, advance the notation: lawyer_review → notarization__pending → notarized (complete). The stock local KIND rehearsal does not include a Gemini connector or a configured reply-email channel, so do not present this as a browser-only local action. For the three-minute demo:

At lawyer_review, reply to the conversation's token address with these two command lines:


@link <notation-id>
@approve

@link connects the conversation to the Notation. @approve then fires the workflow's approved condition.

  1. The matter ("Henderson Bungalow Purchase, buyer Virgo").
  2. The template you wrote (show the markdown).
  3. The notation you bound (show its returned notation record and the source template).
  4. The one checklist failure you found and fixed.
  5. The workflow advance to notarized.

Presenter notes

The notarization step is a real workflow state, and notarized is where the seeded workflow completes. Neon Law Navigator advances the notation no further on its own. The deed is signed only when you, the attorney, take that step yourself through a configured supported channel. Neon Law Navigator will never sign anything for you. Three minutes is plenty for the demo — clarity over coverage.

The email command channel has a narrow trust boundary. The sender's email must resolve to a Person whose persons.role is lawyer or admin; when NAVIGATOR_DKIM_REQUIRE_DOMAIN is configured, the reply must also pass DKIM for that firm domain. Project participation descriptions such as attorney and paralegal are separate from this authorization decision. Navigator strips the @link and @approve lines before any client relay, although prose in the same reply may relay. The resulting workflow event records the sending lawyer Person as the actor—never the client or a generic fallback.
