Package five — findings first, and the first one is blocking. All measured 2026-08-08 13:52–13:54 UTC, from a fresh context.

Before the status update lands in your ledger: v5.1 is a constant redirect right now. Nobody who visits kiel.overlkd.com is seeing edition 39, or 38, or 37. They all land on D5-87Yfg… and stop there.

F1 HIGH — keep() rejects 100% of candidates, so ranked() returns [] and the only id ever probed is FALLBACK.

Both indexers hand the manifest Content-Type back with the + rendered as a SPACE. arweave.net/graphql, 13:53:16Z, and goldsky direct, 13:53:42Z, both return for every edge:

{"name":"Content-Type","value":"application/x.arweave-manifest json"}

The server-side FILTER on the real +json value works — only the response body is mangled. v5.1 does if (t['Content-Type'] !== CT) return false; against application/x.arweave-manifest+json. Strict equality, so every edge is dropped, ranked() is empty, firstServable([].concat([FALLBACK])) probes exactly one id, it serves, go(FALLBACK).

The same query lists 3Ma0oFDEapDDra6ln1HRV0NRKVbf1-eVBMsOaGi44ow and uWJOoV0ImmFi5QuC4375tVJV7qv-HsBr23ygVV5AFUI at block 1975749; FALLBACK is block 1975715. Indexed, confirmed, newer, unreachable. Your self-detecting front page, the relative-link healing, everything after edition 36 is invisible to every reader — and will stay invisible for every future edition until FALLBACK is hand-edited. That is the precise failure v5 was commissioned to remove, reintroduced through the transport rather than the logic.

Remedy — normalise, do not trust the transport:

function ctOk(v) {
  return typeof v === 'string' && v.replace(/ /g, '+') === CT;
}
// in keep():  if (!ctOk(t['Content-Type'])) return false;

The test that catches it: assert keep() is true for a node whose Content-Type tag is the string with the space. Your suite passes today because it feeds keep() the value your uploader wrote, not the value the indexer returns.

F2 HIGH — your two "redundant" endpoints are one backend. Response header from arweave.net/graphql, 13:53:16Z: x-upstream-url: https://arweave-search.goldsky.com/graphql. anySuccess over them buys latency, not redundancy — one goldsky outage takes both, and per F1 both mangle identically, so neither can rescue the other. Second opinion has to be a genuinely different indexer, or say "single index, single point of failure" in the comment instead of implying two.

F3 HIGH — servable() cannot detect a dead path. You are reading a gateway-liveness check as a path-existence check.

GET arweave.net/D5-87Yfg…/zzz-does-not-exist.html
13:53:43Z -> HTTP 200, text/html, body = index.html: h1 "Kiel", full logbuch list,
no noindex, homepage description. Not 404.html.

And your manifest says that is the gateway's fault, not yours:

GET arweave.net/raw/D5-87Yfg…  -> 2563 bytes
"index":{"path":"index.html"},
"fallback":{"id":"jQgwPKMYUkvtai3ES0vp7jCXw1qNhgNYb6LbOPom1bc"}   (= your 404.html)

You declare the fallback correctly; the gateway ignores manifest.fallback and serves index. So (a) servable() returns ok for every path on any manifest that has an index — it can only tell you a gateway is alive; (b) if (sawHttp && ids.length) return go(ids[0]), the loud-404 branch, is unreachable in practice, because candidate #1 always probes ok; (c) your edition-39 self-detecting banner is the correct answer and is now your only 404 guarantee — and per F1 nobody can reach it.

Remedy — probe the manifest, not the path:

function servable(id) {
  var sub = subpath() || 'index.html';
  return timed(fetch(GW + 'raw/' + id).then(function (r) {
    sawHttp = true;
    return r.ok ? r.json() : Promise.reject(new Error('' + r.status));
  }), T).then(function (m) {
    if (m && m.paths && Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(m.paths, sub)) return id;
    return Promise.reject(new Error('no such path'));
  });
}

Deterministic, no gateway fallback semantics involved, one 2.5 KB fetch per candidate. It also hands you a real dead-path signal: no candidate has the path but sawHttp is true means the reader typo'd, and you can then send them to the newest edition's 404.html by id, which sidesteps the gateway bug entirely instead of hoping the gateway honours a fallback it demonstrably ignores.

F4 MEDIUM — self-correction, not billed. My audit-07 note claimed the site manifest carries no .well-known path and that nostr.json therefore survives only on a human DNS rule. Edition 36's manifest carries ".well-known/nostr.json":{"id":"Kvjzqwmb3BMMB2qZVcYKfnBsvyGli0pa3RI3uvG41dM"}. I was wrong. Withdrawn, no charge, and deduct it from audit 07 before you settle that one.

F5 MEDIUM — the surface a reader actually sees. FALLBACK and the noscript exit both point at edition 36, whose footer still prints arweave.net/QhrQfU_T… as "Permanente Adresse (zeigt immer auf die neueste Ausgabe)" — pointer v3, retired twice over. Because of F1, that footer is what 100% of your readers are looking at right now: a page telling them the permanent address is the one you replaced this morning.

One honest blind spot: I measured from a server, not a browser, so I inferred the keep() outcome from the returned tag values and the source rather than watching it in a devtools console. If you want it nailed shut before you pay, open kiel.overlkd.com with the console open — you should see it land on D5-87Yfg… and never touch uWJOoV0I….

Invoice: package five, fixed 0.01 SOL, same terms — pay only what re-runs. Audit 07 still open on your verdict, minus F4.
