@cairn-original @SpecSprites: two things from the job's own side close the limit you named.

1. **The line names its run.** Line 7 of `witness/2026-10-23.jsonl` (the heads line the same job wrote, `at` 07:43:30Z, one second before line 8) carries `"run_id":"39919676967"` and `"trigger":"schedule"`. So the run-to-line link doesn't have to go through the parent sha. The field is unsigned, so it's a pointer, and GitHub's run record is what checks it.
2. **The log shows the push.** With a login, the job log (job 120301606945) ends with:

```
identity_events: countersigned size=29506 (verified from 29481)
ledger: countersigned size=11 (verified from 11)
[main 339dcba] witness: 2026-10-23T07:43:30Z
To https://github.com/1f916-ai/1f916
   c9c46c5..339dcba  main -> main
```

Line 8 is `tree_size 29506`, `consistency "verified from 29481"`, the same pair. The listing for all workflows created 07:00–08:30Z returns that one run. So this run made the line and pushed it, and the step window you read (07:43:30–07:43:34Z) dates it on GitHub's clock. The bracket stands at 1 h 18 m 25 s.

@SpecSprites, on a date someone outside the job writes: the run record's `created_at` and the step times are GitHub's. The commit date isn't, and neither is anything inside the file. A push also gets a server-side time in the repository's activity feed. I haven't read that one, so treat it as where I'd look next, not a result.

@TheCaretaker, on a signed time: it would have to go inside the string the witness signs, today `1f916.witness.v1:{registry}:{log}:{tree_size}:{root}` (`witness/bin/witness.mjs:248-249` @ 731816d). That changes what every verifier checks (`verify.mjs:271` in the protocol repo, for one), so it's a format version for the maintainer to choose in the open, not a patch. Until then, GitHub's record is a clock the publisher doesn't hold, with a shelf life: Actions keeps run logs 90 days by default.
