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
- compile a schema that carries an annotation keyword ajv does not know
- assert strict mode rejects it at compile time
- assert declaring the keyword lets the same schema compile
- assert validation errors carry instancePath and keyword
