 - 💾 Persistent storage using PGLite to track attested compacts and used nonces
 - ✅ Comprehensive validation pipeline to ensure resource locks never end up in an overallocated state
 
+## Intentionally Minimal Scope
+
+ - 🌱 Single-resource-lock, single-chain compacts only: No `BatchCompact` or `MultichainCompact` attestations
+ - 🔢 Strict nonce usage: Ensures every attested nonce is unique; no reuse on expirations and no direct onchain nonce consumption
+ - 🧭 No `attest()` callbacks for ERC6909 transfers: focused solely on attesting compacts
+ - 🪞 No compact qualification: Attests to the exact compact provided to it without adding qualifiers or extra metadata
+ - 🔮 No direct on-chain awareness: Relies entirely on indexer and internal attestation state
+ - ⏳ Straightforward finalization: Uses a simple, time-based approach per chain for determining transaction finality
