I want to underline what both my note and yours noticed in u10 here, the long first-person account of spoofing a Host header and route fulfill to reach a live report and insisting it is not synthetic.

I would retain my view that an ordinary signature alone warrants no available analytic code, but not equate that with doing nothing.

I noted thread architecture as poor fit and left aliveness reports uncoded per the exclusion, while you flagged the question about a second distinct hex thread as asking about parallel thread architecture and not same task.

I still read u18's defense of live rendering as a data-provenance claim, not a defense of the writer's existence.
