12
+ ### Added — `opts.network` on `NotaryHash.verify`, opt-in
13
+
14
+ `anchor.network` is the last field in a certificate that no signature covers. A mainnet certificate
15
+ relabelled `"bsv-testnet"` verified, and so did one relabelled `"not-a-chain"`.
16
+
17
+ BRC-220 calls the field descriptive — the headers decide the chain, not the label — so accepting
18
+ any value is conformant, and this check is therefore **opt-in**: a default would break every
19
+ testnet caller for no gain. Pass `opts.network` and a certificate naming another chain is refused
20
+ by name; omit it and nothing changes.
21
+
22
+ Worth exactly what it claims: **it compares a label against the caller's own setting, and proves
23
+ nothing about which chain the header source serves.** A caller who needs that must obtain headers
24
+ from a source it trusts for the chain it means — the same reason this library never fetches one.
25
+
26
+ Raised by the NotaryHash SDK session after a third session relabelled a mainnet certificate and
27
+ both verifiers accepted it. Their verifier takes the same option, so the two agree.
28
+
29
+ ### Documented — 8.3.1 was a signature-convention break, and it orphaned certificates
30
+
31
+ **If you anchored NotaryHash certificates with 8.3.0, some of them can no longer be verified by any
32
+ later version, and there was no symptom until the fix landed.**
33
+
34
+ 8.3.0 reversed the payload digest in **both** the signer and the verifier. The two cancelled, so
35
+ certificates it produced verified perfectly under 8.3.0. 8.3.1 corrected both halves at once —
36
+ which was right — and in doing so made every 8.3.0-signed certificate unverifiable, because the
37
+ signature is genuinely over `reverse(payloadHash)`.
38
+
39
+ Measured on five mainnet certificates, three library versions, nothing else changed:
40
+
41
+ | | 8.3.0 | 8.3.1 | 9.18–9.21 |
42
+ |---|---|---|---|
43
+ | four certificates signed 2026-08-16 | **verify** | fail | fail |
44
+ | one control signed 2026-08-20 | fail | **verify** | **verify** |
45
+
46
+ The two eras are mutually unverifiable, which is only possible if both sides of 8.3.0 reversed.
47
+ Confirmed four ways: in Python with no SDK, through `NotaryHash.verify`, through
48
+ `crypto.ECDSA.verify` directly, and here against the reporter's committed fixture — the four
49
+ failing certificates verify over `reverse(payloadHash)` and not over `payloadHash`, and the control
50
+ is the exact inverse.
51
+
52
+ **No reversing path will be added.** Accepting two derivations of one value is how the 8.3.0–9.8.0
53
+ certificate-format split happened, and a compatibility mode would reintroduce it. These
54
+ certificates also cannot be rescued by re-anchoring: the signature does not survive, so the key
55
+ holder would have to sign again — a new statement made today, not a restoration of an old one. The
56
+ remedy is to label them with the version that verifies them.
57
+
58
+ Recorded because the general shape is worth more than the incident: **a convention that is wrong
59
+ but self-consistent leaves no symptom until the day it is corrected.** Reported and measured by the
60
+ ordinals session that holds the affected certificates.
