Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Multiple high/critical bypasses in authentication and authorization paths, including placeholder JWT middleware, missing token expiration, and missing signature verification in header validation.
Verification Bypass: Critical flaws in commit verification allowing acceptance of forged or insufficiently signed headers; fixes required 2/3 validator power and commit-header consistency checks.
Data Integrity / Verification Bypass: Proof verification gaps allowed substitution of proofs for different coordinates or with unverified subtree roots, compromising data integrity.
