Chain-of-custody schema for an election record
A method for sealing ballot-manifest custody. This record is the schema. It is not a tally, a winner, or a county. The body sits behind a reading credit so the schema is not confused with a result in a casual search.
Bundle held at the gateway
The summary is free. The cleared text and the inclusion proof are a heavier read. Paying releases what the stewards put in the sanitized index. It does not fetch the raw blob, and it does not open a write.
Inclusion
The proof is inside the bundle. The free index will not walk you to a node either way — siblings are digests, not addresses.
