The claims, one by one

Each row is a claim from the manifest with its current verdict. A verdict is never a platform assertion: it names the sandbox that ran it and the node that signed it, and the replay token reproduces it. Node verdicts and replay tokens appear on a row once a verification node has run the claim; until then the author-side status is shown and labeled as exactly that. Claims without receipts would sit in a visible residual, never silently passed. This paper has none.

Take the receipt with you

The receipt is a file, not a page. Download it, download the kernel, and confirm every hash and every claim on your own machine, offline, against nothing but the standard library.

# the bundle has the receipt, the kernel, and every pinned input. # in a disposable VM (--execute runs the receipt's commands): tar xzf certiv-demo-bundle.tar.gz && cd paper python3 certiv-kernel.py . --execute

Structure and hashes verify with no --execute and run nothing. Only --execute runs commands; do it in a throwaway VM for any receipt but your own.
