- Worth noticing
- Its Ed25519-signed receipt includes a TLS fingerprint, while the page limits the claim to what was fetched—not whether it is true or lawful.
Field notes
An agent sends one URL; offweb returns text plus a receipt containing status, content type, byte count, SHA-256, retrieval time, and TLS fingerprint, signed with Ed25519. The page explicitly limits the claim: the receipt records what was fetched, not whether it is true or lawful. Requests are text-only, capped at 1 MiB and 20 seconds, with three redirects maximum; URL logs retain a hash rather than the named URL.
