# Trooth command-line tool 0.7.0: check a signed reading yourself

trooth verify checks a record's signed witness statement on your own machine: the signature, the key's status, the domain it was signed for, the counts, and the check mapping and evidence manifest digests.

## What changed

The rules are written in docs/VERIFY.md in the trooth-cli repository, with 18 test cases, valid and deliberately broken, that any other checker must agree on. With saved files and --offline the command sends nothing. New exit codes: 8 when the signature or key is not trusted, 9 when the domain, a digest or the counts do not match. The release was published from GitHub with npm provenance, through npm trusted publishing, so no npm token is stored anywhere.

## Why it changed

Until now the CLI printed signature_checked: false and pointed elsewhere for the check. A reader should be able to check the one object Trooth signs with a single command and written rules.

## Who is affected

- **Affected:** Anyone who relies on a Trooth reading and wants to check it without trusting Trooth's own summary, including agents and pipelines that call the command-line interface (CLI).
- **Availability:** npm, as trooth 0.7.0. No account.
- **Release stage:** Available.
- **Areas:** CLI.

## What to do

**No action required.** Nothing is required. Run npx trooth verify with a domain to try it; trooth check is unchanged apart from its closing line.

## Versions and migration

- **trooth:** `0.7.0`

## Dates

- **Announced:** October 6, 2026, the day this entry was written. Entries are never backdated.
- **Released:** October 6, 2026.

## What this does not fix

A checked reading shows Trooth's key signed that reading for that domain. Witness statements are not yet in a public transparency log, and the signed time is asserted by Trooth, not independently established.
