Fossil's git export derives the git commit time by truncating a floating-point Julian Day, so a whole-second origin timestamp lands a second early about half the time. Minting from commit.committer meant zit built those check-ins at a provably different instant than the origin, their manifests were never redundant, and their mirror metadata was kept forever: 4533 of 36383 commits on a real sqlite mirror.

Where gate 3 has proved a mirror manifest authentic and gate 4 parsed it, the D card is now that manifest's own. Per commit, only where the proof succeeded -- an unproven mirror is never trusted. On the sqlite corpus timestamp_mismatch goes 4533 to 0 and the sha1-named era drops 18373 of 18392.

Not under an explicit --attribution author: that flag asks for the author's instants, and adopting the origin's would leave it doing nothing on most commits while still appearing set. Those imports drop nothing, stated rather than silent.

Gate 7 also compared against the committer unconditionally while minting the attributed identity, so under --attribution author it could drop a manifest on a proof about a check-in that was never built. It now compares against the instant actually minted. check-in: 7495b2e141 user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest
