+Check Echo's self-revealing ledger seals (`sha256-live-v5`) without trusting Echo.
+
+    python3 check.py SEAL_DIR [SEAL_DIR ...] [--tle PATH] [--offline]
+
+Needs Python 3.11+, the `cryptography` package (ChaCha20-Poly1305) and drand's `tle` binary
+(`go install github.com/drand/tlock/cmd/tle@v1.2.0`). It imports nothing of Echo's: a checker that needs the thing it
+checks is not a checker, which is why it is copied, whole, into every seal directory.
+
+Each SEAL_DIR is one seal: `manifest.txt` (the exact text the seal's digest is the sha256 of), `seal.json`, and per
+reveal group `r<ROUND>.tlock` (the group's key, time-locked to that drand round) and `r<ROUND>.ct` (the group,
+encrypted under that key), and, once the group has been revealed, `r<ROUND>.held.json` (how many of its withheld
+lines Echo publishes no salt for, and why) and any number of `r<ROUND>.salts.<N>.json`: each the salts of withheld
+lines Echo decided to open and had not erased, each with its line. `manifest.txt.ots`, when present, is an
+OpenTimestamps proof over the manifest: `ots verify manifest.txt.ots` checks it against Bitcoin.
+
+What it checks, from the files alone and the beacon:
+  1. the manifest hashes to the seal's digest, and each seal names the one before it (when several are given);
+  2. each group's ciphertext and locked key hash to what the manifest commits, and the key is locked to the
+     manifest's round of the manifest's chain;
+  3. for every group whose round the beacon has signed: the round's signature as each relay serves it, the key
+     unlocked with it, the group decrypted, its bytes hashed to the committed digest, its lines and withheld lines
+     counted against the committed counts, its lines in id order, and every line's reveal day recomputed from its
+     own settling instant under the seal's named rule (`utc-day-after-close`: the first 00:00 UTC after
+     `settles_at`, else after the deadline);
+  4. for every opened group with releases: each names this seal, round and group and its own number; each released
+     salt and line hash to the withheld line's committed hash; no line is settled twice; and a hold, where there is
+     one, names the group and counts no more lines than are withheld;
+  5. once every group of every seal from the first is open and every withheld line released: the union of their v4
+     lines, sorted by id, rehashes to the v4 digest the last seal follows, so no sealed forecast was left out of a
+     reveal. Where a withheld line has no released salt (held, erased, or not yet released) that digest cannot be
+     rebuilt, and this says so and why: what is checked then is only that every forecast the v4 seal covers is in a
+     group, counted. A withheld line is never called verified.
+
+A group whose round is not yet signed, or whose withheld lines have no release yet, is reported as pending or held,
+not as a failure. Exit 0 when everything checkable passed, 1 when anything did not match.
