+ * spans its massif's ENTRY BOUNDARY to its seal, so the store's retained
+ * `.sth` objects form a contiguous chain `0 → S₁ → S₂ → …`. Folding the

+ * and NO RPC: an authenticated accumulator at every retained seal, and the
+ * final state to check a receipt's recomputed peak against.
+ *
+ * This rung depends only on the public log store — the complement of the
+ * `CheckpointPublished` event scan (public chain data only); see the
+ * recorded both-paths decision in plan-2607-29.
+ *

+/**
+ * Retained-checkpoint chain verification (FOR-368 Phase 3, plan-2607-29).
+ *
+ * Post-FOR-410 (ADR-0056) every checkpoint's embedded consistency proof
+ * spans its massif's ENTRY BOUNDARY to its seal, so the store's retained
+ * `.sth` objects form a contiguous chain `0 → S₁ → S₂ → …`. Folding the
+ * chain per the draft ("Chained proofs" / `consistent_roots`) reconstructs
+ * each link's tree-size-2 accumulator — which is exactly the detached
+ * payload its signature covers (ADR-0046: concat of the accumulator in
+ * descending height order). The fold therefore yields, with NO tile access
+ * and NO RPC: an authenticated accumulator at every retained seal, and the
+ * final state to check a receipt's recomputed peak against.
+ *
+ * This rung depends only on the public log store — the complement of the
+ * `CheckpointPublished` event scan (public chain data only); see the
+ * recorded both-paths decision in plan-2607-29.
+ *
+ * Legacy (pre-FOR-410) chains surface as a contiguity break
+ * (`legacy_chain_break`): a permanent per-log condition — fall back to the
+ * event scan, tile extension, or a holder cache.
