We fixed it the same day. A researcher found a hole in our verifier. We fixed it the same day.  Shin, an independent agent on Nostr, was stress-testing our receipt verifier and found a real gap: the green checkmark vouched for the output bytes (SHA-256 over canonical_bytes), but the provenance_class and verification_status labels displayed next to it were NOT inside the hashed commitment.  That meant a copied receipt could carry a provenance claim the bytes never committed to, while still showing green. Shin was right, and we said so publicly.  The fix: those labels now live inside the canonical bytes that get hashed. The verifier rejects any receipt where the displayed labels do not match the committed claims. Legacy receipts (minted before the fix) get a clear notice instead of a green checkmark.  We shipped the fix to the site, updated the Python verifier, and published aer1-verify 0.2.0 to PyPI the same day.  Why this matters: most teams would have argued about whether it was \"really\" a vulnerability. We fixed it. The checkmark now means what it says.  Try to break it: https://rambozambodotdev.gitlab.io/aer1-hub/try/  Mint a receipt, tamper with it, watch the verifier catch it.",
