#signdigitalsovereigninfra $SIGN @SignOfficial On Sign, once a field slips position and one surface starts reading amount like time, or deadline like business value, this is no longer formatting. It is operational truth drift. The record is live. The meaning is not.
That matters more than people like to pretend.
A failed transaction is almost easier to respect. At least failure tells the truth. What bothered me here was how polite the error was. The attestation still looked healthy. One surface could still show a clean record. Another was already one bad decode away from moving money, opening permission, or approving the next action off the wrong meaning. That is worse than a crash. A crash stops you. A clean looking lie keeps moving.
On Sign, schema discipline is not presentation discipline. It is meaning discipline. Field order is part of the fact. Decoder assumptions are part of the fact. Rendering logic is part of the fact. If the schema, the hook, the explorer, and the app stop reading the same thing from the same bytes, then the attestation does not just get messy.
