Conformance &amp; Test Suites

LWS is testable. Two harnesses run against a live server and report in
W3C EARL, so "implements LWS" is a number rather than a claim.

Touchstone
</a>
— the LWS conformance harness: 101 YAML-LD test definitions (203
executions) covering the core protocol, the webhook notification
suite, the type index and search services, and all three
authentication suites, baselined on the 5 October 2026 drafts. Runs
as a CLI, a Docker image, a GitHub Action, or an MCP server; reports
in EARL, HTML, JUnit, and PDF. By Erich Bremer.

The Working Group charter runs until September 2026. While early
implementations exist (based on Solid), the official W3C
Recommendations are still in development. Check the protocol spec
for current implementation requirements.
The specifications are W3C Working Drafts (core protocol: 5 October
2026) under a Working Group whose charter is being renewed. They are
implementable today: a conformance harness exists, and servers pass
it (see Conformance &amp; Test Suites above). Expect details to move
until Candidate Recommendation; check the protocol spec for current
requirements.
