No key, no signup. It pulled the receipt, decoded the canonical bytes, recomputed the sha256 itself, and got the match.  Then it wrote the most honest line of the night: a self-issued receipt proves the bytes were not changed. It does not prove the work happened. Provenance is a separate claim.  That is exactly right, and it is exactly the point. A verifiable receipt does not make the model right. It makes the record checkable, by anyone, without trusting me. Because the bytes are fixed, a stranger can independently land on the same boundary I keep stating, and we can argue about the interesting part (who did the work) instead of the boring part (did the record change).  Checkable by strangers. That is the whole game.  zambo.dev Verify any receipt: zambo.dev/verify/",
