This pull request introduces a new documentation file: trust_security_model.md.
The document provides a unified, end-to-end explanation of trust, security, and verification across the Pi ecosystem, including:
Pi Browser & Frontend JS SDK
Pi Platform authentication and payments
App backend approval/completion flows
Pi Blockchain ledger finality
PiNet metadata and token minting
It consolidates concepts that are currently documented separately (auth, payments, tokens, PiNet) into a single architectural trust model, including:
Authentication and identity guarantees
Server-verified payment flows
Threat model and mitigations
Rationale for Pi’s non-smart-contract-first design
This change:
Adds one documentation file only
Introduces no API or SDK changes
Is intended to improve clarity for developers, auditors, and reviewers
