Credentials
Auto-claim
A LearnCoin flag that lets tenants pre-authenticate a recipient and skip the magic-link email step, immediately marking the credential as claimed.
The standard LearnCoin claim flow emails a one-time magic link to the recipient; they click it to bind the credential to their email and mark it "claimed." That's the safe default for tenants that don't already have a verified email relationship with the recipient.
But some tenants — Ewance, for example — already verified the recipient's email before the challenge started. For those tenants, the magic-link roundtrip is friction without a security benefit. Setting recipient.auto_claim: true on POST /v1/batches tells LearnCoin to skip the email and mark the credential's claim_state as "auto_claimed" immediately.
Auto-claim is a per-credential flag. Tenants can mix claim-by-email and auto-claim within the same batch. Recipients' pseudonymous IDs are bound at issuance time in either case. The difference is whether the recipient actively clicks to acknowledge the credential or the tenant vouches that binding is already complete.
The audit log records which path was taken. A tenant that audits its own credential records can distinguish interactively-claimed from auto-claimed credentials.
