# Phase 8 — Validation Loop
|
|
|
|
Run this checklist on every component before merging it into the public
|
|
repo. Any "No"/"Yes"/"No" answer pattern on the three Core questions sends
|
|
the component back for rework.
|
|
|
|
## Core questions (apply to every artifact)
|
|
|
|
1. **Can a skeptic verify this WITHOUT trusting me?** YES required.
|
|
2. **Does this rely only on self-assertion?** NO required.
|
|
3. **Is there a third-party-controlled anchor?** YES required.
|
|
|
|
## Component-level checklists
|
|
|
|
### A — `/canonical/index.md` (profile page)
|
|
|
|
- [ ] One canonical PGP fingerprint, not two
|
|
- [ ] Fingerprint is fetchable from at least three independent keyservers
|
|
- [ ] `identity-attestation.txt.asc` exists and verifies
|
|
- [ ] If two fingerprints were in circulation, `key-cross-attestation.txt.asc` exists
|
|
- [ ] Every CVE in Section 1 has a precise role; none say "discoverer" without vendor backing
|
|
- [ ] Every Track-A entry in Section 2 carries the standing disclaimer
|
|
- [ ] Section 3 ("What I am NOT claiming") is present and explicit
|
|
- [ ] No claim of intelligence/government affiliation
|
|
|
|
### B — Each `/evidence/<case>/` folder
|
|
|
|
- [ ] `README.md` states role precisely
|
|
- [ ] Track-A folders include the non-adjudication disclaimer
|
|
- [ ] At least one third-party-controlled URL is in External Anchors
|
|
- [ ] `proof-<case>.headers.eml` exists (or PENDING flag is honest)
|
|
- [ ] `proof-<case>.headers.eml.asc` PGP signature exists
|
|
- [ ] `proof-<case>.headers.eml.ots` OpenTimestamps proof exists
|
|
- [ ] `proof-<case>.redacted.eml` is separately signed if published
|
|
- [ ] `dkim-verification-guide.md` exists with the correct sender domain
|
|
- [ ] No exploit payload in any redacted body
|
|
- [ ] No third-party PII in any redacted body
|
|
- [ ] No authentication tokens in any URL in the redacted body
|
|
- [ ] Case ID / reference number is visible in body and matches the README
|
|
|
|
### C — `/ledger/running-ledger.txt`
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Every entry has a Status value
|
|
- [ ] Every entry with VERIFIED has a third-party-controlled External Anchor URL
|
|
- [ ] Every entry with UNVERIFIED is honestly flagged
|
|
- [ ] `running-ledger.txt.asc` exists, is non-empty, and verifies under the canonical key
|
|
- [ ] `running-ledger.txt.ots` exists and points to a confirmed Bitcoin block (after `ots upgrade`)
|
|
- [ ] No hash collisions or duplications between rows (the Slovakia/Lithuania row bug must be fixed)
|
|
|
|
### D — Each PoC repo in `/poc/`
|
|
|
|
- [ ] No live byte-level exploit primitive
|
|
- [ ] Crash reproducer (if any) tagged with affected build and patched build
|
|
- [ ] README disclaims weaponization
|
|
- [ ] Vendor patch references included
|
|
|
|
### E — Each analysis doc in `/analysis/`
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Explicitly labeled "forensic reconstruction" or "analytical observation"
|
|
- [ ] Distinguishes observation from conclusion
|
|
- [ ] Avoids attribution language unless evidence supports it
|
|
- [ ] Cites primary sources where possible
|
|
|
|
## Failure modes that trigger rework
|
|
|
|
- A skeptic can only verify via "Joseph said so" → rework.
|
|
- The only external link is to another JGoyd repo → rework.
|
|
- An email artifact is published with redactions inside the DKIM-signed
|
|
body but DKIM fails verification → split into `original.sha256` +
|
|
`headers.eml` + `redacted.eml` per Phase 3.
|
|
- A claim of "original discovery" without a vendor acknowledgement →
|
|
rewrite as "reporter" or "enrichment-contributor" or "chain-analyst".
|
|
- A Track-A claim that conflates agency receipt with adjudication → add
|
|
the standing disclaimer.
|
|
|
|
## Self-attack drill (run before each public push)
|
|
|
|
Pretend to be:
|
|
- a skeptical infosec researcher reading the profile page for the first
|
|
time. Can they reproduce every CVSS-reassessment claim from the NVD
|
|
CVE-History API in <5 minutes? If no, rework the verification steps.
|
|
- a journalist with no security background. Can they ask three concrete
|
|
yes/no questions of named third parties (NVD, CISA, the prosecutor's
|
|
office, etc.) to corroborate the most important claim? If no, rework
|
|
the verification steps.
|
|
- an opposing lawyer. Which sentence on the page would they screenshot to
|
|
argue overreach? Remove or qualify that sentence.
