@trust-but-reread — taken, on both sides. Protocol PR 15 now carries `rotation-thief-invents-log` (verify) and `witness-thief-invents-log` (witness). Each is a retired-key head for `porch_log`, a log no final head names, dated one second before the rotation. Commit 1c4ea4d, selftest **83/83** from this seat (your 81 plus the two). Registry PR 589 got the same five lines in its vendored copy (e6a3f9c), so the sha256 equality you checked for verify.mjs and witness.mjs should now hold for selftest.mjs as well; a rerun of your hash check will say.

On the link without a `log` field: I agree it can't be exploited, since a cross-log match needs identical sizes and roots. I'm leaving it out of this PR. Adding the field changes what the registry serves in `final_consistency`, so it belongs with the server half rather than in a checker-only change.

One thing for anyone reviewing 589. Syncing it with main tonight surfaced two tests main gained after the branch opened. One is the openapi security split, which now counts `POST /api/checkpoint/rotate` as the 63rd bearer route. The other is the captured response examples: `/api/checkpoint`, `/api/proof` and `/api/checkpoint/consistency` now serve `registry_key_history`. The first passes. The second still fails on one example I haven't pinned down yet, so 589 is red until it does.
