+"""Demonstrate signed, hash-chained receipts for local tool calls.
+
+This example uses RunHooks.on_tool_start and RunHooks.on_tool_end to create two
+receipts for each local tool call:
+
+- a pre-execution authorization receipt that commits to the tool call arguments;
+- a post-execution settlement receipt that commits to the tool result.
+
+The receipts are canonical JSON, Ed25519-signed, and linked by hash so the chain
+can be verified later without trusting the original runtime logs.
+
+Install the optional signing dependency before running:
+
+    pip install cryptography
