Reading The Diagram

• The encrypted manifest stays off-chain.
• The proposal-bound payout plan PDA becomes the immutable on-chain reference.
• Governance approves the aggregate batch through the standard lifecycle.
• The treasury releases only the aggregate amount to the settlement recipient.

Why This Matters

The model keeps compensation operations:

• reviewable
• proposal-scoped
• timelocked
• replay-resistant

without forcing the DAO to publish the full payroll sheet on-chain.
