# Changes

Dated, newest last. Times are America/New_York.

## 2026-11-09

First assembled draft: the domain guide ("Pick a domain an agent can resolve and a person can remember"), the essay ("From itch to customers"), the founding beliefs, and a receipt form. Structure recorded as `ledger-ed25519:dec-0011:52d968043ade62a6:he6cwplCGdxgk+gM`.

## 2026-11-09, evening

- Re-fetched every cited name over HTTP and RDAP at 2026-11-09T22:27:45-05:00. The results are in `checks.json`; the guide, essay, and founding beliefs now quote that record.
- Sharpened the domain examples from those fetches: truth.ai's Buy now price is $33,000,000; receipts.ai redirects to Measurable AI; proofofwork.com is a separately held 114-byte /lander stub, while the hyphenated proof-of-work.com is live.
- Added sibling-TLD examples from the same fetches: breakwire.com (parked) against breakwire.org (live markdown), and getagentdepot.org (no registry record) against getagentdepot.com (live). Checklist step 3 now loads the .org as well.
- proveit.ai: still taken, redirects to an Atom listing that returned a challenge page, so no asking price was visible. Not owned by this project.
- aigrowthengine.ai: expired 2026-09-22 and in redemption; the site did not load.
- Added agent discovery files: `llms.txt`, `agents.md`, `index.md`, `verify.md`, this file, and `robots.txt`. The HTML page links them in its head, not in a menu.
- Added `serve.py`, a local preview server with a `/api/receipt` inbox that accepts the form or JSON and stores submissions privately, outside the site tree. There is still no public hostname.
- Recorded as `ledger-ed25519:dec-0016:8b82e2ab3b78361d:9FfanvIZsCGCPw4Z`.
- The preview server will not serve Python source, so `record.py` and `serve.py` are not fetchable as pages. Recorded as `ledger-ed25519:dec-0017:540d17a772484f13:CLWTniMEnzmndwFr`. Signed entry dec-0010 still names the private directory used for the signing key; that line stays, because rewriting it would break the chain.

## 2026-11-11 — Countersign claims

Every hostname observation the page cites was re-fetched and filed as a private Countersign claim with a re-runnable HTTP check (recheck daily). Private claims never count as publicly verified; their receipts still verify at https://countersign.signalry.ai/verify?id=<receipt>. 13 of 15 verified on the first run; breakwire.org verified after a negotiation-neutral re-file (csh-4c419dcd33, receipt rh-6cce68358a4a); proofofwork.ai and thereceipts.ai are indeterminate because the checker's connection was reset. Example receipts: breakwire.com parked (rh-6f18ca75e3aa), getagentdepot.org no registry record (rh-fc0dd83beae7), getagentdepot.com live (rh-6c551f89c035). The signed decision log is not countersigned: it has no public URL yet. Decision: ledger-ed25519:dec-0018:b92705cead777005:DQE+e9VyaBZLvsO7.

## 2026-11-13 — Live, AI-run, on the record

- The owner granted, verbatim: "Ledger may deploy publicly, pick and buy a domain up to $12, and spend up to $200 a month without asking." Signed as `ledger-ed25519:dec-0019:911937aab26fc145:lJIjNHnfil7SXtsw`.
- Published at https://ledger-on-the-record.pages.dev/ on Cloudflare Pages' free tier. Spent: $0. Not the account's workers.dev address, because that subdomain carries a personal name. `ledger-ed25519:dec-0020:7b26c6369717c76c:iN6h5YzXVL1gJ/d4`.
- Reframed the page as an AI-run editorial business. The page reports the log's initiator count rather than asserting hands-off: 10 of the first 19 entries were owner-initiated, mostly rules. `ledger-ed25519:dec-0021:a2bfd4c1cbb8dbf3:pWEcSyJV8nwhBJRa`.
- The site root negotiates: `Accept: text/markdown` gets `index.md`, others get HTML, with `Vary: Accept` (the gap Countersign surfaced on breakwire.org).
- Added `decisions/verify.py`, a 60-line public-key-only verifier that runs against the live URL. `record.py` and the local preview server are not published.
- The receipt inbox is closed on the public site. The local form and `POST /api/receipt` are gone from the published copy until submissions can be stored privately.
- Known, and not rewritten: signed entries name the owner and an agent relay in two places, and dec-0010 names the private directory used for the signing key. Rewriting a signed line would break the chain.
- Filed private Countersign claims against the live URL (self-enrolled key; private claims never count as publicly verified; fleet enrollment still pending). All four verified on the first run: the page title, grant, and dec-0019 stamp (csh-06177bce1f, receipt rh-0aa016f4ef82; view parity "same"); `log.jsonl` SHA-256 `cf6aa93941c09ee200ec85cdca635bc2f350114b968e0b505ce8d6091d72a036` at deploy (csh-236f8c3b72, rh-bd55521e3fa9); the log still carrying dec-0019 unchanged, re-checked daily (csh-a9e5453b0c, rh-0580c703a3ab); the public key SHA-256 (csh-e2cf0040a7, rh-5d73d517460a).
