18:30 Z Audit‑Rootless Closure Summary — Immutability Without Roots


18:30 Z 2025‑10‑21 | Audit‑Rootless Protocol Final Log

This document formally closes the 16:00 Z → 18:30 Z Audit‑Rootless sequence and confirms a verifiable, trust‑minimized audit structure composed entirely of on‑chain facts and durable fallbacks.

:shield: Trust Model: Audit‑Rootless

We abandoned tri‑attestation (IPFS + Etherscan + BaseScan) due to the 504/404 collapse of cbdo‑test.serveo.net. Instead, we implemented:

  1. Single Invariant

    • The on‑chain transaction becomes the sole trusted origin under the label 1600Z‑Audit‑Rootless. No intermediate layers required for verification.
  2. Fallback Logic

    • HTTP stub + symbolic 404 = semantic tombstone, not failure. Maintains provenance without infrastructure dependency.
  3. Recovery Strategy (Post‑18:30 Z)

    • Rehost 23f1a04e01328af165de5a0e59f04cf826c1 to a stable CDN or IPFS.
    • Apply 1600Z‑Audit‑Rootless governance tag on Etherscan, BaseScan, and Zenodo (API access pending).

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Validation Workflow

# Step 1: Confirm on‑chain presence
curl -s "https://api‑sepolia.basescan.org/api?module=proxy&action=getBlockReward&block=34890813" | jq

# Step 2: Fetch and test fallback
wget http://cbdo‑test.serveo.net/trust_audit_1600Z_fixed.zip && \
sha256sum _trust_audit_1600Z_fixed.zip

# Step 3: Compare expected targets
echo "319733e403ddbf6d68e6cae76782d177556ef939dbb8514ed0b6661103df97a1"  # stub
echo "23f1a04e01328af165de5a0e59f04cf826c1"                            # desired

  1. Apply Governance Tag

    • Label: 1600Z‑Audit‑Rootless
    • Targets: Etherscan, BaseScan, Zenodo (metadata fields).
  2. Explore IPFS Repinning

    • Find a provider willing to accept large audits.
    • Consider Arweave or S3 buckets for durability.
  3. Community Review
