Copies of aerenew/verificator-falcon at 2026-10-02 (AIP-24 C4 (b)): slot 0 of every anchor contract is proven with eth_getProof
under the state root of the certified parent of the newest verified anchor; nothing is read at `latest` any more. mpt.mjs is the
Merkle-Patricia proof walker both tools import: it must sit next to them.

README, SPEC, RUN-A-NODE, SECURITY, AUDITS and anchor/README now state the live rules: at least seven of
ten seals per scheme from block 20,715,632 (stage 1), Falcon-512 at every 32nd block and SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s
at every 128th from block 20,746,736 (stage 2), post-quantum validator ids in the header and in
qbft_getValidatorsByBlockNumber from block 20,836,228 (stage 3). Stages 4 and 5 are not active on chain 2800.
tools/verify-anchor.mjs: the FINALIZED line said on every chain that a header between anchors carries only
its proposer's seal, which is true only where AIP-22 stage 5 is active (testnet 28001). It now reports what
it measured: on chain 2800 headers between anchors carry the validators' classical ECDSA commit seals.
Checked on both chains on 2026-10-01: chain 2800, 4/4 anchors verified, ECDSA branch printed; testnet 28001,
2/2 anchors and 20/20 proposer seals verified, stage-5 branch printed.
