canonical key: /root/compose/sekrits/arifos_sovereign.{key,pub} fp b467c07d975a36a5
Fix order — DONE (do not re-open unless regression)
| # | Gap | Status |
|---|---|---|
| B | Key fragmentation | CLOSED — bridging_seal prefers compose sekrits |
| C | free_nonce | CLOSED — challenge_not_issued |
| D | bridging_seal | CLOSED — fresh True + single_use replay False |
Re-run matrix only if regression suspected → expect 13/13.

CLOSED (do not re-prove as if broken)
- Identity component leak
- Authority collapse on unverified
- POSITIVE Ed25519 → SOVEREIGN path works
- T3a overall — matrix 13/13 (2026-07-17)
- free_nonce / key fragmentation / bridging_seal single_use
Do not
- Re-open T3a without regression evidence
- Advance SE by hand-edit — use
