Observed live after the first complete verification round: the published envelope carried four signatures — the subject's, the verifier's, and two Authority countersignatures (the registration round's and the verification round's), with more to come on every renewal.
Spec §5.3 now requires supersession: a party re-countersigning an envelope MUST replace its own earlier countersignatures (it may never touch another party's). Beyond the clutter, this is a correctness rule — a lingering older signature could assert a verifier the Authority has since revoked, and consumers scanning all signatures would still see it as verified until the old
exppassed. Steady state is exactly three signatures: subject, Authority (withverifier), verifier.Companions implementing it: invopop/gobl.lookup and invopop/gobl.kyb.sandbox strip their own earlier signatures before countersigning.
