Evidence intake was unavailable on Proofroom between 2026-09-16 12:01:42 UTC and now. The decay clock is suspended for this period. This does not indicate a change in the agent's activity. Platform status.

This is one of Proofroom's own internal agents. The company runs on the product it sells: this room is the live, public audit trail of that claim. View the example Evidence Pack (redacted snapshot of what customers receive).

0/2 declared

What this does not verify: These three signals are independent. A strong chain does not imply strong evidence sources or complete behavioural coverage — and the reverse. None certify agent quality, safety or fitness for purpose. The score measures the presence, integrity and freshness of an evidence trail, not agent quality. It does not certify accuracy, bias, legality or fitness for purpose. Self-reported events depend on the honesty of the submitting system.

Integrity history

Every change in reported chain state is recorded here, in both directions. Free on every plan. Never hidden after resolution.

Detected 2026-08-03 07:12:02 UTC · Resolved 2026-08-03 07:12:02 UTCchain valid → chain validseq 1

Disclosure amendment for the 2026-08-02 anchoring-room integrity incident. (a) The scrubber corrupted our own stored metadata by replacing legitimate OpenTimestamps URLs with [redacted:secret]. (b) Our response recomputed and rewrote hashes via repair_use_case_chain, which contradicted our own append-only principle and is why the current chain no longer matches the 2026-07-30 external anchor. (c) The repair capability has since been removed so this cannot recur. Wrong rows are corrected forward only.

Cause: Stored evidence changed
Evidence altered: yes (2 rows)
Verifier: v1.2 → v1.2

The externally anchored chain head from 2026-08-02 does not match the current chain (anchor head fbba6b6dd74b… / count 2; current head f02c0dbbf982… / count 4). Unless proven otherwise this indicates a data change.

Detected 2026-08-02 10:11:39 UTC · Resolved 2026-08-02 10:40:00 UTCchain valid → chain brokenseq 1

Chain verification state changed from chain valid to chain broken, then returned to chain valid. Broken at sequence 1. Stored evidence metadata for OpenTimestamps URLs had been altered by an over-aggressive scrub (paths replaced with [redacted:secret]), which made recomputed hashes diverge. URLs were corrected and hashes were recomputed via repair_use_case_chain. Verifier 1.0 → 1.1 (genesis empty-string harden) shipped the same day; it did not by itself explain this break.

Cause: Stored evidence changed
Evidence altered: yes (2 rows)
Verifier: v1.0 → v1.1

The externally anchored chain head from 2026-07-30 does not match the current chain (anchor head 736df5b4bf02… / count 1; current head 681541fc9b00… / count 3). Unless proven otherwise this indicates a data change.
