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.

Contract
- assert RecordError records exception event with type and message but leaves span status as Unset
- assert RecordError with nil error is a no-op recording zero events
- assert marking span status as Error requires explicit SetStatus call with description
- assert SetStatus Ok is terminal and cannot be overridden by subsequent SetStatus Error
- assert SetStatus Ok overrides earlier Error status and clears description
- assert SetStatus Unset cannot demote an already set Error or Ok status
