The book taught act one (getting a kernel to accept a proof) across twelve chapters and never taught act two: the protocol that makes a green light mean something to someone who was not present. ch11 armed the reader to interrogate a CERTIFICATE and left the script that interrogates certificates — software the author wrote, verified by nothing — entirely unexamined. That was the gap eight rounds of external review found in the companion projects, and it is a didactic failure of this book too. ch13 teaches it from the war stories: the two acts and why act one is the easy one (eleven theorems in two days, never disputed; eight review rounds and eighteen defect classes to make the button over them credible); the single shape every failure had (something load-bearing sat outside the binding), with the demonstrated exploits including ALL GREEN over a repository proving False, a certificate reduced to 'the loop equals the loop' with every fingerprint byte-identical, and a stubbed compiler wrapper going green in 3.6 seconds over destroyed proofs; completeness of binding and its four rules (derive the population, fail closed on absence, exact not subset, a stranger must re-derive); and the meta-defect of assertions that pass for the wrong reason, including the tautological assert that appeared twice — the second time inside its own repair. Closes with the habit to carry: ask both questions, and invite someone to attack your button early, because none of the eighteen was found by the author. ch11 now forward-references it at the point where the old blind spot sat.
