Overview

The verification summary is the combined pass/fail report a user reads to judge an entropy observation overall. It merges every verification level into one result: the internal data hash check, the Ed25519 signature check, the Merkle inclusion check that binds the observation into a finalized block, and the external check that re-fetches the value from the original public source. The summary passes only when no individual check fails, and for an observation not yet committed into a block it marks the Merkle step as skipped rather than failed, since there is nothing to prove yet. What each layer proves, and how to read them together, is covered in entropy verification levels.
