  "description" : "Integration test plan for the **Trust Establishment** workflow of the IHE ITI Verifiable Health\nLinks (VHL) profile.\n\nScope: validates multi-actor, cross-transaction scenarios that span ITI-YY1 (Submit PKI Material)\nand ITI-YY2 (Retrieve Trust List) and cannot be covered by unit tests. Tests verify that a DID\nDocument submitted in YY1 is subsequently retrievable via YY2 in the same session, that both\nthe VHL Sharer and VHL Receiver can retrieve peer keys, that a full round-trip signature\nverification succeeds, and that revocation propagates correctly across actors.\n\nActors exercised: VHL Sharer, Trust Anchor, VHL Receiver.",
