11
+
12
+ One rule, replacing a special case that had already caused a bug: **absent is absent, present and
13
+ wrong is wrong.** From the block-penn-station session, whose rerun of its differential fuzz against
14
+ 9.25.0 found a regression 9.25.0 itself introduced, hours old.
15
+
16
+ ### Fixed — `examples/gateway` called a wrong-typed `spv` member "not mined yet"
17
+
18
+ 9.25.0 made a certificate with **no** `spv` member return `indeterminate`, which was right: the
19
+ service issues certificates in that state and fills the envelope when a block arrives. It was
20
+ written as `!certificate.spv || typeof certificate.spv !== 'object'`, which also swallowed
21
+ `spv: "zz"`, `spv: 0`, `spv: true` and `spv: 42` — **66 inputs** told to re-fetch a certificate that
22
+ re-fetching will never repair.
23
+
24
+ `indeterminate` is now only for `undefined` and `null`. A member that is present and is a string, a
25
+ boolean or a number is a malformed certificate, and invalid.
26
+
27
+ ### Changed — a null `anchor.seal` or `spv.format` is a malformed member, not an absent one
28
+
29
+ Both shipped with a null exemption: `seal !== undefined && seal !== null`. The argument against it
30
+ is theirs and is better than mine was — a verifier that reads a wrong-typed member as absent has to
31
+ decide the same for `false`, `0` and `''` next, and **that exemption is exactly what produced the
32
+ `spv` bug above**, in this library and in the notaryhash SDK on the same day.
33
+
34
+ So `anchor.seal: null` and `spv.format: null` are now refused as malformed members. And
35
+ `allowUncheckedSeal` does **not** wave a malformed seal through: that opt-out means "I will check
36
+ the seal myself", which nobody can do with a seal that is not a seal.
37
+
38
+ ### Added — the independent verifier's differences, vendored as a regression fixture
39
+
40
+ `test/data/differential/penn-station-9.24.0-differences.jsonl` — 436 inputs, 1,494,064 bytes,
41
+ sha256 `fe5007e3179fccd9ebec813fe5eaa924e70dccf9ea4ff9a1aee53ee60b9e5fb0`. **Theirs, not ours**,
42
+ vendored with permission because the directory it was produced in is git-ignored on their side.
43
+ Every input where our adapter disagreed with their Python verifier at 9.24.0.
44
+
45
+ `test/notaryhash/differential_fixture.js` replays it. The remaining differences are by design and
46
+ named in the test: the opt-in `anchor.network` label, our stricter refusal of a wrong `mode` on a
47
+ batch certificate, and `version: 1`.
48
+
49
+ ### Not changed — `version: 1` is the legacy marker, and I was wrong to accept that one
50
+
51
+ I told them I would tighten `version` as the **number** 1, since the reference format says the
52
+ string `"1.0"`. Checking before changing it: `LEGACY_VERSION = 1`, `Certificate.isLegacy` treats it
53
+ as an 8.3.0–9.8.0 certificate, and `verify` reports `legacy: true` beside the verdict. It is a
54
+ documented compatibility path, not loose typing, and tightening it would stop us reading
55
+ certificates that format actually produced. Retracted.
56
+
57
+ ## [9.25.0] - 2026-10-07
58
+
59
+ Two claims a certificate can carry that this library does not verify, and answered `valid` about
60
+ anyway. Both found by the **block-penn-station session's differential fuzz** — 3,573 inputs, our
61
+ `examples/gateway` adapter against an independent Python verifier written from the NotaryHash spec
62
+ rather than from our code. Same verdict on 3,137 of them; the disagreements were ours.
63
+
64
+ ### Fixed — `anchor.seal` was not verified, and a certificate carrying one still verified
65
+
66
+ A sealed record asserts it is the **one successor** of another: its transaction spends a
67
+ one-satoshi seal output of the predecessor's transaction, and an output is spent once. That is
68
+ checked by `@smartledger/notaryhash` (`verifySealedLink`, their SPEC 5b). **This library implements
69
+ none of it**, and verified the 1.0 parts of such a certificate and answered `valid` — presenting an
70
+ unchecked chain-of-custody claim as verified.
71
+
72
+ 319 fuzz inputs with a damaged seal verified here, including:
73
+
74
+ - a certificate relabelled as the successor of a record it is not, naming a transaction its own
75
+ transaction does not spend;
76
+ - a seal signature of 64 zero bytes;
77
+ - a seal replaced by `true`, `"x"` or `[]`;
78
+ - the **first** record of a chain given an invented predecessor.
79
+
80
+ Their verifier and the notaryhash SDK refuse every one. A certificate carrying `anchor.seal` is now
81
+ refused, with `opts.allowUncheckedSeal` for a caller that wants the 1.0 verdict and will check the
82
+ seal itself. An absent or `null` seal is no claim and is unaffected.
83
+
84
+ ### Fixed — a false `anchor.blockHeight` verified when `spv.blockHeight` was null
85
+
86
+ `anchor.blockHeight` was compared with `spv.blockHeight` **only when both were present**, so nulling
87
+ or deleting `spv.blockHeight` removed the only value it was ever checked against. A certificate
88
+ claiming `anchor.blockHeight: 1` then verified against a mainnet block at height 970038 — the height
89
+ was bound to nothing. `anchor.blockTime` was still checked, so this was the height alone.
90
+
91
+ A present `anchor.blockHeight` must now be **checkable**: if the SPV envelope does not say which
92
+ height it proves, the claim is refused rather than skipped. Introduced in 9.20.0 with the rest of
93
+ the anchor checks; the guard was written as a consistency test when it needed to be a coverage test.
94
+
95
+ ### Fixed — `examples/gateway` broke its own three-state contract
96
+
97
+ The adapter returned `invalid` for a certificate with **no `spv` member**. The service issues
98
+ certificates in that state and fills the envelope when a block arrives, so "there is no proof of
99
+ inclusion yet" is `indeterminate` — the same "I could not look" the file spends two paragraphs
100
+ insisting on. It now returns `indeterminate` and says to re-fetch.
101
+
102
+ The adapter also enumerated the two options it knew about when calling `NotaryHash.verify` and
103
+ dropped everything else, which silently disabled `allowUncheckedSeal` and `allowUnknownSpvFormat`
104
+ for its callers. It forwards them now.
105
+
106
+ ### The common rule
107
+
108
+ Both library fixes are the one adopted in 9.24.0 for `spv.format`: **verifying a proof is not
109
+ accepting a self-described certificate.** A statement the verifier never read cannot be covered by a
110
+ verdict of `valid`. Each refusal has an opt-out, because a caller that checks the claim by other
111
+ means should not be blocked by our inability to check it.

145
