What changed

One new entry in src/content/considered/, rendered at /considered/. No spec page, no status change.

Why now

This run's IANA Well-Known URIs sweep turned up scitt-keys, registered 2026-07-01 — the newest registration in the window, and new well-known URIs are exactly what this scan watches for.

It does not earn a page. /.well-known/scitt-keys is defined by the SCITT Reference APIs draft and is served by a transparency service so relying parties can fetch the keys that verify its receipts. A site that publishes to such a service is a client of the endpoint, never its host. There is nothing here a website serves alongside its security.txt.

The entry uses that to make a point that outlives SCITT: /.well-known/ is a shared namespace, not a checklist for every origin — the registry also holds suffixes for smart inverters and job-posting feeds. A registration says somebody needed a stable path, not that the somebody was a website.

Sources

Reason

too-narrow. Note this is a scope turn-down, not a timing one — no amount of adoption among ledger operators would make this a property of a website, so revisit points at the likelier neighbour (content provenance, C2PA-style) rather than at an adoption threshold.

Checks

npm run build passes. Page count unchanged at 168 (considered entries are not spec pages), so no SKILL.md digest change. Lint and format clean.

…site property

IANA registered the scitt-keys suffix on 2026-07-01. It is served by a SCITT
transparency service so relying parties can verify receipts — a supply-chain
ledger operator, not a website. Recorded as too-narrow.
