OBSERVED · NOT AUDITED

Proof before promises.

The current alpha has physical-device evidence for one encrypted nearby route. That is meaningful — and smaller than a claim of complete messenger security.

01 · OBSERVED

Encrypted Capsule

A 699-byte AXC2 Capsule was delivered in a physical Samsung test without exposing the message to the transport intermediary.

02 · OBSERVED

Replay rejected

The same accepted Capsule was not accepted a second time in the recorded proof path.

03 · OBSERVED

App Check

A production request was attested on the physical device. App Check is one abuse signal, not a substitute for encryption or authorization.

04 · GATED

Identity changes

Key-change warnings, recovery, revocation, and multi-device behavior must pass explicit product and protocol tests before public accounts.

05 · GATED

More route types

Three-device store-and-forward, online relay, iPhone parity, and long-lived delivery remain separate gates.

BOUNDARY

No independent audit yet

Axon is not described as independently audited, untraceable, surveillance-proof, or impossible to block. External review remains required.

A narrow proof is better than a giant claim.

Public capability language changes only after the corresponding route and failure cases are reproduced.
