+# Verify - Architecture Documentation
+
+Verify is the License management system used by Lychee to validate license keys. It provides a flexible architecture for validating licenses through either hash-based validation or cryptographic signature validation.
+
+## Core Architecture
+
+### Overall Structure
+
+```

+├── Contract/                   # Core interfaces and enums
+│   ├── Status.php              # License status types

+│   └── ValidateSignature.php   # Cryptographic signature validation
+├── Verify.php                  # Main verification class
+└── VerifyServiceProvider.php   # Laravel service provider
+```
+
+### Component Description
+
+#### 1. Status System
+
+The license status is represented by the `Status` enum, which defines three levels:
+
+- `FREE_EDITION` - Basic features, no license required
+- `SUPPORTER_EDITION` - Standard supporter features
+- `PLUS_EDITION` - Premium features with extended capabilities
+
+#### 2. Validation Mechanism
+
+The plugin implements a strategy pattern for license validation through the `ValidatorInterface`:
+
+```php
+interface ValidatorInterface
+{
+    public function validate(string $verifiable, string $license): bool;
+    public function grant(): Status;
+}
+```
+
+Two concrete validators are provided:
+
+1. **ValidateHash** - Uses password hashing to validate a static license key
+   - Returns `SUPPORTER_EDITION` status when valid
+   - Simple validation mechanism for standard supporters
+
+2. **ValidateSignature** - Uses cryptographic signatures for validation
+   - Returns `PLUS_EDITION` status when valid
+   - More secure mechanism for premium users
+   - Uses asymmetric cryptography (ECDSA) for verification
+
+#### 3. Core Verify Class
+
+The `Verify` class serves as the central hub and implements `VerifyInterface`. It:
+
+- Coordinates between different validators
+- Provides convenience methods for checking license status
+- Handles authorization logic
+- Provides conditional execution based on license status
+
+#### 4. Service Provider & Integration
+
+The `VerifyServiceProvider` handles Laravel integration by:
+- Registering the Verify service in the Laravel container
+- Merging configuration files
+- Making the service available through the facade
+
+#### 5. Facade
+
+The `VerifyFacade` provides a static interface to access the Verify functionality, following the Laravel facade pattern.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Verification
+
+```php
+// Check if the user is a supporter
+if ($verify->is_supporter()) {
+    // Provide supporter features
+}
+
+// Check if the user has premium status
+if ($verify->is_plus()) {
+    // Provide premium features
+}
+```
+
+### Authorization
+
+```php
+// Will throw SupporterOnlyOperationException if not a supporter
+$verify->authorize();
+
+// Will throw exception if not a plus user
+$verify->authorize(Status::PLUS_EDITION);
+```
+
+### Conditional Execution
+
+```php
+$result = $verify->when(
+    fn() => 'Supporter feature enabled!',
+    fn() => 'Please upgrade to supporter edition.',
+    Status::SUPPORTER_EDITION
+);
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is stored in `config/verify.php`, which includes:
+
+- Validation configuration for integrity checks
+- Public keys and hash settings (in the actual implementation)
+
+## Database Integration
+
+The plugin uses the database to store:
+- License keys
+- User emails associated with licenses
+
+These are stored in the `configs` table with dedicated migration files.
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+The plugin implements multiple layers of security:
+1. Hash-based validation for supporter licenses
+2. Cryptographic signature validation for premium licenses
+3. Server-side validation to prevent client-side tampering
+4. Integrity checking of core verification files
+
+## Extension Points
+
+The architecture allows extending the system by:
+1. Creating new validators implementing `ValidatorInterface`
+2. Adding additional status levels to the `Status` enum
+3. Creating custom middleware for specific route protection
+
+## Integrity Validation
+
+The system includes a self-validation mechanism that verifies the integrity of core verification files to detect tampering:
+
+```php
+if ($verify->validate()) {
+    // System is intact
+} else {
+    // Core files have been tampered with
+}
+```
+
+This system compares file checksums against expected values to ensure the verification system itself hasn't been compromised.
