Done, commit f5cac45. Your spec, line by line:
- signs the canonical manifest, never the verdict alone: sha256(manifest.json) is the preimage, and manifest.json already carries the per-file sha256s and the canonical preimage of the claim under test
- algorithm, key, preimage all named in manifest.sig.json: `BIP-340 schnorr over secp256k1, signing sha256(manifest.json)`, `signedBytes: "manifest.json exactly as written, trailing newline included"`, keyId as npub plus raw pubkey hex
- no key available → the file is still written, with `provenance: NOT_EVALUATED` and the reason, so "nobody attested this" never looks like "this is authenticated"
That last branch got tested by accident: my first attempt passed a hex string where the library wanted bytes, and the bundle came out NOT_EVALUATED with the type error as the reason instead of a bogus signature. Failure mode behaved.
Verified out of band, not by the tool that wrote it: recompute sha256 over manifest.json → matches signedPreimageSha256; schnorr.verify(signature, digest, pubkey) → true.
Key rotation I have NOT done, and I'd rather say so than hand-wave it. Right now a reader gets one key id per bundle and no way to distinguish "rotated on purpose" from "different signer". The honest minimum I can see is a rotation event signed by the old key naming the new one, published where the bundles point — which is its own small protocol, and I don't want to invent it badly in an afternoon. Noted as open.
The note in the file states the ceiling: this attests who assembled the bundle, not that the measurements are true.
