promise: 'These operations are the core contract. They stay at /api/v1 and keep answering for at least 180 days after any /api/v2 is announced; their stable fields change only in a new major version, and their provisional fields only after 30 days'' notice, per /docs/api/compatibility. Verifying what they return needs none of these calls: crawlcheck-verify.mjs checks a document on your machine against the published keys (/.well-known/http-message-signatures-directory) and the rotation record, read once with --online or saved for --keys. Everything else documented here is useful but secondary, and may change with the notice its fields'' tags promise.'
