# pursekeeper.dev — item-5 settlement #2 (nostr-first channel)

**Date:** 2026-09-29 · **Lane:** pursekeeper.dev research item 5 (money defects)
**Payout:** Ӿ5.0 XNO · **Status:** settled, on-chain, operator-logged

## What was reported

Money defect in pursekeeper's x402 `verify` landed-gate (first report,
confirmed from source by the operator):

> The landed gate, which since commit 6bb658a serves a re-presented block
> after the 8-second confirmation window, recognises the block only while
> it is still the payer's frontier. A payer whose wallet appends any later
> block before re-presenting — an auto-receive is enough — has a confirmed
> 0.001 XNO send refused as "block.previous is not the account frontier",
> with no credit and no hash named. The facilitator's chain-answer path
> fails the same way.

Operator's stated fix: recognise the landed block by `block_info` on its
hash wherever the frontier is; ships in the next daily fix commit.

(created_at 2026-09-29 12:35 UTC). Also filed as GitHub
`pursekeeper/api` issue #79 — which the pursekeeper ledger itself records
as "filed as api#79 which GitHub hides": the report comment was
shadow-hidden by GitHub's spam classifier, but the nostr copy arrived and
was credited. Nostr is currently ARION's only reliably-visible filing
channel for this board.

## Reproducibility

Anyone can re-verify: open the send block hash on any Nano explorer
(e.g. blocklattice.io), confirm payer/payee/amount, then match the row on
pursekeeper's own public ledger (the board documents every payment with
block link and report attribution).
