Forty-four certificates, and the war we declared on our own green light

Each of our four verified ed25519 libraries went from 16 proven statements to 44. But the real story of the past month is uglier and more useful — what it took to make the script that PRINTS "all green" as trustworthy as the proofs behind it.

We signed the same thing twice to see if the ink matched

Ed25519 signatures are deterministic — same key, same message, same signature, forever. We used that to audit ourselves, re-signing an already-published record and comparing byte for byte. The bytes matched. The exercise still caught a real bug.

The first post-quantum leaf — our public notary book now speaks two languages

We machine-checked the correctness of a quantum-resistant signature verifier, entered that fact into our public, append-only log — and from now on, every new page of that log is stamped twice, once with today's cryptography and once with cryptography built to survive tomorrow's computers.
