This receipt signed the item SEC files settled action against estate of fund manager Chirayu Vijay Patel, published on 22 October 2026 — approved and published by Daniel Zhang, the named editor.
Signature and hash
The signature is checked against the published key. The hash row checks that the content hash shown under “Attested facts” is the one the signature covers: the receipt stores that hash, not the text.
Sources
Each cited source is re-read on this view unless Kitalpha no longer reads it by policy. “matches” means it answered HTTP 200 just now, as it did when the receipt was signed; the receipt records each source’s status and time at signing, not a copy of its page.

} Re-verify independently: the signature is Ed25519 over the RFC 8785 canonical form of the payload, under the key named in it, published at /.well-known/kitalpha-provenance.json. The document hash is the SHA-256 of the bytes the producer served at the fetch; the text hash is the SHA-256 of the text extracted from them. Neither the document nor its text is served by Kitalpha.
