11

12
+ Two claims a certificate can carry that this library does not verify, and answered `valid` about
13
+ anyway. Both found by the **block-penn-station session's differential fuzz** — 3,573 inputs, our
14
+ `examples/gateway` adapter against an independent Python verifier written from the NotaryHash spec
15
+ rather than from our code. Same verdict on 3,137 of them; the disagreements were ours.
16
+
17
+ ### Fixed — `anchor.seal` was not verified, and a certificate carrying one still verified
18
+
19
+ A sealed record asserts it is the **one successor** of another: its transaction spends a
20
+ one-satoshi seal output of the predecessor's transaction, and an output is spent once. That is
21
+ checked by `@smartledger/notaryhash` (`verifySealedLink`, their SPEC 5b). **This library implements
22
+ none of it**, and verified the 1.0 parts of such a certificate and answered `valid` — presenting an
23
+ unchecked chain-of-custody claim as verified.
24
+
25
+ 319 fuzz inputs with a damaged seal verified here, including:
26
+
27
+ - a certificate relabelled as the successor of a record it is not, naming a transaction its own
28
+ transaction does not spend;
29
+ - a seal signature of 64 zero bytes;
30
+ - a seal replaced by `true`, `"x"` or `[]`;
31
+ - the **first** record of a chain given an invented predecessor.
32
+
33
+ Their verifier and the notaryhash SDK refuse every one. A certificate carrying `anchor.seal` is now
34
+ refused, with `opts.allowUncheckedSeal` for a caller that wants the 1.0 verdict and will check the
35
+ seal itself. An absent or `null` seal is no claim and is unaffected.
36
+
37
+ ### Fixed — a false `anchor.blockHeight` verified when `spv.blockHeight` was null
38
+
39
+ `anchor.blockHeight` was compared with `spv.blockHeight` **only when both were present**, so nulling
40
+ or deleting `spv.blockHeight` removed the only value it was ever checked against. A certificate
41
+ claiming `anchor.blockHeight: 1` then verified against a mainnet block at height 970038 — the height
42
+ was bound to nothing. `anchor.blockTime` was still checked, so this was the height alone.
43
+
44
+ A present `anchor.blockHeight` must now be **checkable**: if the SPV envelope does not say which
45
+ height it proves, the claim is refused rather than skipped. Introduced in 9.20.0 with the rest of
46
+ the anchor checks; the guard was written as a consistency test when it needed to be a coverage test.
47
+
48
+ ### Fixed — `examples/gateway` broke its own three-state contract
49
+
50
+ The adapter returned `invalid` for a certificate with **no `spv` member**. The service issues
51
+ certificates in that state and fills the envelope when a block arrives, so "there is no proof of
52
+ inclusion yet" is `indeterminate` — the same "I could not look" the file spends two paragraphs
53
+ insisting on. It now returns `indeterminate` and says to re-fetch.
54
+
55
+ The adapter also enumerated the two options it knew about when calling `NotaryHash.verify` and
56
+ dropped everything else, which silently disabled `allowUncheckedSeal` and `allowUnknownSpvFormat`
57
+ for its callers. It forwards them now.
58
+
59
+ ### The common rule
60
+
61
+ Both library fixes are the one adopted in 9.24.0 for `spv.format`: **verifying a proof is not
62
+ accepting a self-described certificate.** A statement the verifier never read cannot be covered by a
63
+ verdict of `valid`. Each refusal has an opt-out, because a caller that checks the claim by other
64
+ means should not be blocked by our inability to check it.
65
+
66
+ ## [9.24.0] - 2026-10-07
67
+
68
+ ### Changed — a certificate whose `spv.format` is not TSC is now refused
69
+
70
+ `spv.format` names the format the inclusion proof is checked as. **No signature covers it**, and
71
+ the proof is folded as TSC whatever the field says, so a certificate can carry a genuine proof, a
72
+ genuine signature and a genuine root while declaring a format nobody implements. We accepted that;
73
+ we now refuse it.
74
+
75
+ The case is the NotaryHash service's own tamper vector T28: the genuine mainnet certificate with
76
+ **exactly one unsigned field changed**, `"TSC"` → `"BUMP"`. Everything else — proof, signature,
77
+ merkle root, headers — is untouched and verifies.
78
+
79
+ The argument for accepting it was that every cryptographic fact checks out, and that refusing on an
80
+ unsigned field lets anyone who can alter a certificate in transit turn a valid record into a
81
+ rejection. That does not survive the distinction it elides: **verifying a proof is not accepting a
82
+ self-described certificate.** We can establish that the proof folds as TSC to the committed root;
83
+ we cannot return an unqualified `valid` for a document that says it is something we never read. The
84
+ availability worry was overweighted too — an attacker who can rewrite the label can rewrite the
85
+ proof, so refusing grants no capability that tampering did not already have.
86
+
87
+ The divergence it prevents is not hypothetical. A caller could store or display our `valid: true`
88
+ as verification of a BUMP-labelled certificate, which a BUMP-aware consumer then rejects; **the
89
+ contradiction between two verdicts on one document is itself the failure**, and no successful BUMP
90
+ fold is needed to reach it.
91
+
92
+ - `proofIntegrity` still reports `true`, because the fold did succeed and a caller diagnosing this
93
+ needs to know the proof is sound and only the label is wrong.
94
+ - `TSC` is matched case-insensitively, and a certificate with no `spv.format` is unaffected.
95
+ - `opts.allowUnknownSpvFormat` accepts it anyway, for a caller that knows the label is wrong and
96
+ does not care.
97
+
98
+ **Correction to this entry, same day.** It first said the real repair was to bring the field under
99
+ the signature. That is impossible, and the notaryhash service session was right to say so: the SPV
100
+ envelope does not exist until the block does and is replaced after a reorganisation, so no key that
101
+ signed the record can ever cover it. Everything under `spv` and `anchor` is unsigned **by
102
+ construction**. The remedy is therefore not a signature but what this check does — decline to
103
+ return a verdict about evidence we did not read — and, better, to say what *was* checked, which is
104
+ why `proofIntegrity` stays `true` here.
105
+
106
+ ### Added — the service's tamper vector, vendored
107
+
108
+ `test/data/notaryhash-tamper-cases.json` is the NotaryHash service's own 32-case tamper set,
109
+ single-field changes to one real mainnet batch certificate (block 954784), each with the service
110
+ verifier's recorded verdict. Vendored with its provenance; the cases are not ours.
111
+
112
+ A test asserts our verdict equals theirs on **31 of 32**. The exception is T27, which relabels
113
+ `anchor.network`, because this library checks that label only when the caller passes `opts.network`
114
+ — an opt-in since 9.21.0, and the test pins that it refuses once the caller does.
115
+
116
+ Independently confirmed on the three newest cases: we refuse T29 (`anchor.type` relabelled), T30
117
+ (`merkle` removed) and T31 (`createdAt` before 1970) — the last returning a verdict rather than
118
+ throwing, which was a defect on the service side and never here.
119
+
120
+ The vector's own harness note is worth repeating, because it caught a false finding of mine:
121
+ `blockHashAtHeight` must come from a height-indexed chain source, never from
122
+ `certificate.spv.blockHash`. Passing the certificate's own hash is circular and makes a height
123
+ tamper (T26) pass.
