A reproducible trust case for an offline-first encrypted evidence app, with a bounded guarantee surface, pinned specimen, drift enforcement, and a public release tied to an exact hosted-green commit.
A deliberately bounded trust case that reduces unearned claim surface through a pinned specimen, drift enforcement, and hosted-CI provenance.
ProofVault now carries part of its own proof burden in the repository.
I built a trust dossier, a pinned specimen, automated regeneration and drift detection, and a hosted-CI-enforced release path that narrows the public claim to what the evidence can actually support.
The guarantee boundary was narrowed until the remaining claims could survive skeptical review.
Local success was not enough.
GitHub's hosted runner exposed cross-environment drift that did not appear on the initial local path.
The specimen had to be stabilized without weakening the invariant.
Normalized host-local timestamp rendering so observed output stopped drifting between environments.
Eliminated archive metadata instability that only became visible on the hosted runner.
Stopped the pinned specimen metadata from incorrectly inheriting the live Node patch version.
Trust claims narrowed, legible, reproducible, and release-bound.
proofvault-trust-case-v1.0 remains intact as the original public record.
proofvault-trust-case-v1.0.1 publishes the hosted-stable release tied to the exact final non-debug commit.
