Fixes of the review of the session of 1 and 2 October that the text of
spec v0.11 already asks for:
- authorkey: String and GoString hide the secret key, which only Secret
returns; ParsePublic refuses a key that is not a point of the curve
(ed25519strict.OnCurve, checked against the square root of testkit).
- capsule: a typed nil in AuthorKey, CMSSigner or Sealer is an error, never
a capsule without the signature or the seal that was asked for. A panic
while evaluating the signature or the seal fails only that part, F1 or
S2, not both. OpenOptions.Accept sees the verdicts before step 18 and can
refuse to publish the files.
- extension.CheckWrite, the rule of encoders of spec 72: the writers of
capsules and .dkk files refuse datekeys.note and datekeys.capsule outside
the arrays where they are registered, or with invalid data.
- CLI: encrypt -sign shows the author key and the code of AUTHOR_MESSAGE
before it signs (rule 20); decrypt -expect-author compares the key of an
F4 and writes nothing unless it matches; decrypt notifies a public note
that it does not show; the lines of the verdicts break at the last space
that fits, each row after the first behind a mark, so that the terminal
never breaks them; L is the payload, not the content.
- locator: a reader rejects an address that breaks 44.1 and keeps the
others; addresses refuse the special-purpose blocks of IANA, IPv6 outside
2000::/3, localhost and local names, characters outside RFC 3986, dot
segments, and a CID that does not decode to version 1 and a multihash;
ParseInfo checks that the locator is an age file with one tlock stanza
for the round of its DateKey; Info.Extension reads what it writes; its
errors carry no normative code.

The author approved the text and the six open decisions on 1 October 2026.
The spec says now what the review left open: the form of the CMS signature
and of the TSTInfo field by field, the ESSCertIDv2 with SHA-256 written, the
padding of the locator at its boundaries, base32 CIDs, the addresses read
without decoding, the issuer shown by the rules of the holder, and the area
decided after the signatures. SpecVersion is 0.11, the records of fixtures
and vectors say so, and decrypt shows an mtime later than a valid seal as an
inconsistency, which 29.7 asks as a SHOULD.

CheckURI works on the raw authority, as an HTTP client reads it: no percent
signs, userinfo or backslashes, a host of letters, digits and hyphens or a
public IP literal, a port from 1 to 65535, and Host returns that host. The
integers of the locator stop at 2^53 - 1, and Info.Extension refuses what
ParseInfo would. extension.Standard validates datekeys.capsule through
locator.Standard, and Info.OpenLocator ties the locator to the round of its
own DateKey.
inspect shows the public note as text of the creator, with its prefix and
wrapping and the warning, and says when a note is unusable. encrypt -note
warns that it is public. decrypt -expect-author fails before the release
is requested when the capsule is not format 3. Author key files are read
with the work factor of the spec as their maximum, the passphrase is not
read from a terminal, and two copies of secrets are cleared.

extension.CheckNote, NewNote and Note apply the rules of spec v0.11 24.1,
and extension.Standard registers the note for the noncritical array of
PUBLIC_HEADER only. Header.PublicNote reads it, and header_binding ties it to
the control: a note changed after writing fails step 15. The CLI writes it
with -note and shows it as text of the creator, with the warning that nobody
can check it before the date.

The passphrase of a key comes from a file, or from the standard input with
"-", never from the command line or the environment, so the CLI needs no
terminal library. decrypt -expect-author shows the signature as always and
then fails, with the files already written, unless it is F3 with that key.
