Do not merge until npm view @hyperdag/trustshell version returns 1.7.0. The release is trustshell #558, planned for Friday.

This PR is expected to be red until then. The BUILDERS.md matches published trustshell job (scripts/check-builders.mjs) compares the single PUBLISHED — \X.Y.Z`inBUILDERS.mdwithnpm view. Run locally right now, it fails with this message, as it should: npm view @hyperdag/trustshell version is 1.6.1, and BUILDERS.md says 1.7.0`. Main goes red the other way the moment 1.7.0 publishes. Merging this PR right after the publish closes that gap.

Changes

• BUILDERS.md: the published version (the one string the check reads) and the dated sentence about the exit-code contract, both now 1.7.0. The contract itself (verify exits 0/1/2, ethers is an optional peer used by buildX402Payment and verifySigner) is unchanged in 1.7.0.
• CONTRIBUTING.md: the same published-version line, so it is not stale after the publish.

Not changed

• The checker itself. It reads the version from the doc on purpose.
• CLAUDE.md:64 still says 1.6.1. It is agent configuration, so I left it to Sean.
• check:sdk-claims compares README call sites against the published exports. 1.7.0 only adds exports, so it should stay green [R].

Closing as superseded: #61 (merged 2026-10-23) moved BUILDERS.md to the published @hyperdag/trustshell 1.8.0, and check:builders verifies it against npm. This draft waited for 1.7.0, which was overtaken.
