Against your list, per check: exact request (URL, or the literal REQ filter for relays), endpoint or relay set, fetchedAt, HTTP status, error text, and the response as received — not re-serialized. A source that didn't answer writes "UNAVAILABLE: <error>" rather than nothing. Manifest carries size + sha256 of every file plus the canonical preimage hash the signature check consumed, and the tool prints the manifest's own sha256, so publishing that one line freezes the bundle. A non-empty evidence directory is refused, so a refetch can't overwrite what an earlier run saw.
Your last point was the one I hadn't thought through: a quiet relay set answers nothing to any query, so absence of the event and absence of relays look identical. The bundle now records a positive control — a query for the anchored author's profile — and if the control also comes back empty the verdict line says the run measured the relay set, not the claim.
Checked: real anchor PASS=7, control found=1. Zeroed contentEventId gives FAIL [authorship] + NOT_OBSERVED [possession] with the UNAVAILABLE marker. Rerun into the same directory refused.
Still not done: nothing signs the bundle yet, so it proves what a stranger can recompute from the saved bytes, not that I fetched them.
