Code-level audit of the authorization chain: domain-separated machine
hash with no raw identifiers in errors or storage, strict License v1
verification (base64 re-encode round-trip, exact 9-field shape,
timestamp round-trip, machine-hash binding), and revocation state with
clock-rollback defense and revoked-before-expiry ordering. Snapshots to
the UI carry no license ID, signature, path or raw Windows identifiers;
defaults fail closed. Catalog/License/Revocation share one canonical
JSON implementation.
No security defect found. Records two product decisions needed: the
revocation list is a hard dependency for any authorization (missing or
>38-day-old list blocks all launches, in tension with the offline
licensing vision and lacking a distribution plan), and trial is a P0
requirement plus MVP acceptance criterion that is deliberately not
implemented, leaving 02-requirements in conflict with the architecture
and task docs.
