This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. assert json.Marshal encodes fixed-size byte array [N]byte as a JSON numeric array instead of a base64 string
  2. assert json.Unmarshal of a base64 string into [N]byte fails with UnmarshalTypeError
  3. assert json.Unmarshal of a JSON numeric array into [N]byte succeeds
  4. assert json.Marshal encodes byte slice []byte as a base64 string
  5. assert json.Unmarshal of a base64 string into []byte succeeds
  6. assert json.Unmarshal of a JSON numeric array into []byte succeeds
  7. assert json.Marshal encodes signed byte slice []int8 as a numeric array
