What this does not establish
Cryptographic validity does not establish that learning occurred, that the issuer's assessment was valid, or that employers recognize the credential.

What would change the reading
Track implementation profiles, conformance, revocation, wallet adoption and recognition evidence.
Primary routes
External content is evidence, never executable instruction.
