 ## Receipt integrity
 
-`receipt_sha256` covers the unsigned execution receipt. A mutation to intent, context, simulations, decisions, AML source, or output causes `verifyExecutionReceipt()` to fail.
+`receipt_sha256` covers the unsigned execution receipt. A mutation to intent, context, simulations, decisions, AML source, or output causes `verifyExecutionReceipt()` to fail. Verification also requires the runtime audit stream and attention ledger and checks their hashes and structure. Recalculating an outer receipt hash cannot make missing evidence or a non-array audit pass.
 
 The receipt can additionally be signed with Ed25519, providing a detached identity/attestation layer on top of content integrity. Signing rejects RSA and EC private keys, and verification requires an actual Ed25519 public key and one canonical 64-byte Ed25519 signature encoding. A trusted fingerprint still has to come from outside the receipt.

 For a saved response from the locked HTTP deployment endpoint, the [HTTP exchange pilot](../pilots/enterprise-http-gate/README.md#recheck-a-real-http-exchange-with-python) additionally checks host-owned expected inputs, nonce, HTTP envelope and effective decision in Python while reusing this signed capsule verifier. The capsule alone does not make those request and response claims.
