Companion Crisis Receipt

CA SB 243 (live Jan 2026), 8 US states, and the Jan 2026 Character.AI settlements turned companion chatbots into product-liability targets — private right of action, crisis protocol logs, session-start disclosure. Same Velaru rail: Handler lock → crisis escalation receipt → stranger verify at /verify. EU Art 50 deployer file included for global surfaces.

Enforceable now (US). SB 243 requires crisis handoff proof, session-start AI disclosure, and annual suicide-prevention reporting from Jul 2027. Character.AI settled five teen-harm suits Jan 2026 — product liability applies to platform-generated output, not Section 230.

1. Policy locked before session — disclosure + crisis rules frozen (Handler Receipt)

2. Crisis indicator fired → 988 / hotline escalation receipt + timestamp

3. Counsel or regulator verifies at /verify — no Velaru login

4. SB 243 reporting pack + Art 50 Deployer Evidence File export

EU Art 50 (same rail)

Customer-facing support bots — Intercom, Zendesk, home-grown — need proof disclosure fired before first interaction. Fines up to €15M or 3% global turnover. Deployer duty applies even on third-party widgets.

Art 50 Deployer Evidence File

Enforceable since 2 Aug 2026. Regulators expect a controlled deployer record — not screenshots alone. After enroll, your status page includes:

Deployer Evidence File (.txt + JSON) — maps to Art. 50 review sections
Handler Receipt — disclosure policy locked before live traffic
Stranger verify at /verify — burden-of-proof support, no Velaru login
