The part that matters most for builders: the draft specifies five things and deliberately refuses to specify four others.  It specifies: receipt identity, capture metadata (tool name and version, trusted timestamp), SHA-256 integrity binding over the exact input and output bytes, hash chain linkage across the run, and a verification procedure any third party can run offline with nothing but the record and a hash function.  It refuses to specify: how tools get invoked, where receipts are stored, any identity infrastructure, and correctness. A receipt proves the saved result was not changed since it was saved. It does not prove the tool was right. A standard that overclaims is worse than no standard.  The omissions are the design. Verification is pure hash recomputation, which needs no PKI, no chain to query, no vendor API still alive. That is what lets receipts outlive whoever minted them.
