# E1618 — TEE-required job result carries no attestation envelope (CAE)

| Property | Value |
| - | - |
| **Code** | `1618` |
| **Slug** | `E1618` |
| **Category** | `runner` (Runner / Consensus) |
| **CIP** | CIP-23 §3.11 |

## What happened

TEE-required job result carries no attestation envelope (CAE).

This is the receipt's `what` text, produced by the node's `ExecutionError::TeeAttestationRequired`.

## Why it happened

The node rejected the operation with `E1618` (category `runner`, Runner / Consensus). The receipt's `why` field carries the specific cause and `context` carries structured details, when the emitter attaches any.

The normative rule is in CIP-23 §3.11.

## How to fix

Attach a Composite Attestation Envelope (CAE) to the result — jobs with tee\_required=true must carry one so the operator-root light verify can run.

## Receipt example

```json theme={null}
