 ## First Start Semantics
 
 If there is no successful run under `HOST_DATA_DIR/runs`, `start.sh` starts the core `ours-rp-soak` service first and waits for the first snapshot to succeed before starting metrics, Prometheus and Grafana.

+One container running the RPKI Explorer web UI plus the query backend

+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker with the compose plugin (`docker compose version`) on the target host.
+- A running soak whose `runs/` directories contain `report.json` (and
+  `run-summary.json` once finished) — only completed runs get indexed.
+
+## Build (local machine, same arch as the target)
+
+```bash
+deploy/rpki-explorer/build_image.sh
+# tarball + provenance land in target/rpki-explorer-image/
+```
+
+The build runs entirely inside Docker (rust release binaries + vite build),
+so no local toolchain version requirements apply.
+
+## Transfer and deploy (remote host)
+
+```bash
+cat target/rpki-explorer-image/rpki-explorer-<tag>.tar.gz | ssh root@<host> 'gunzip | docker load'
+
+ssh root@<host>
+mkdir -p /root/rpki128_explorer
+cd /root/rpki128_explorer
+# place docker-compose.yml and .env here (see .env.example)
+docker compose up -d
+docker logs -f rpki-explorer
+```
+
+On first boot the entrypoint computes
+`--watch-min-run-seq = latest_completed - RETAIN_RUNS + 1` so exactly the
+latest `RETAIN_RUNS` completed runs are backfilled. On later boots the
+existing query-db drives continuation — the index built earlier is reused, no
+re-backfill happens.
+
+## Access
+
+```bash
+ssh -L 9517:127.0.0.1:9517 root@<host>
+# open http://127.0.0.1:9517
+```
+
+The stack binds loopback only; there is no authentication or TLS.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Rebuild the image with a new tag, transfer and `docker load`, update
+`IMAGE_TAG` in `.env`, then `docker compose up -d`. The query-db on the host
+is preserved.
+
+## Rollback / removal
+
+```bash
+docker compose down
+# keep /root/rpki128_explorer/query-db to reuse the index later, or delete it
+# to force a fresh backfill of the latest RETAIN_RUNS runs.
+```
+
+The soak stack is never touched; removing the explorer stack has no effect on
+it.

+    [--verification-child-path <path>]
+
+This is a host-side, finite observer. On its first start it records the latest
+already-terminal normal run and observes only later terminal runs. For each one
+it waits DELAY seconds, then uses a non-blocking state lock. It never waits for
+or blocks the Docker soak. Successful normal runs are verified with a copied
+host-side rpki binary; failed, stale, or lock-busy runs are recorded as skipped.
+
+The verification timeout is additionally bounded by the source run completion
+time plus NORMAL_INTERVAL_SECS minus NORMAL_RUN_SAFETY_SECS. This preserves a
+normal-run safety window even after an observer restart or delayed scan.
+
+Only compact JSON results are retained under WORK_ROOT/results/. The large
+verification output and any retained scratch DB are always deleted afterwards.
+
+When --verification-child-path is supplied, it replaces PATH only for the
+verification binary. Passing a directory without rsync (for example
+/nonexistent) is an adversarial acceptance check: an accidental SystemRsync
+fallback must fail instead of accessing the network.

+//! Crypto signature verification cache (feature #126).
+//!
+//! Caches the context-free cryptographic fact "this signature over these exact bytes verifies
+//! under this public key" so that later runs can skip the RSA verification entirely. Only
+//! positive conclusions are stored (no negative caching). The cache never replaces any other
+//! validation semantics: revocation (CRL), time-window, and policy checks all run unchanged on
+//! the hit path — the hook wraps exactly the crypto verify call and nothing else.
+//!
+//! Modes (CLI):
+//!
+//! - `--crypto-signature-cache-observe-only` (M1): compute keys, maintain the persistent set,
+//!   record hit/miss/timing statistics, always run the real verification.
+//! - `--enable-crypto-signature-cache` (M2): on a cache hit, skip the real verification and
+//!   return success; on a miss, run the real verification and store the positive conclusion.
+//!   Statistics are recorded the same way; `verify_skipped`/`verify_executed` report what
+//!   actually happened. Both flags may be combined (reuse + statistics).
+//!
+//! The five choke points (see the development plan for the full caller inventory):
+//!
+//! - `CmsSignedObject`: `data_model::signed_object` CMS verify (ROA / ASPA / manifest on the
+//!   main validation path; GBR objects are not signature-verified by the tree runner).
+//! - `EeCertFast`: `validation::cert_path::verify_ee_cert_signature_fast` (ring, TBS + signature
+//!   bytes from the signed-object embedded EE certificate; ROA / ASPA / manifest EE paths).
+//! - `EeCertX509`: `validation::cert_path::verify_ee_cert_signature` (x509-parser; router
+//!   certificates and the `validate_ee_cert_path` family).
+//! - `ChildCaCert`: `validation::ca_path::verify_child_signature` (x509-parser; subordinate CA
+//!   certificates).
+//! - `Crl`: `data_model::crl::verify_signature_with_issuer_spki` (x509-parser; issuer CRLs).
+//!
+//! Trust-anchor self-signature verification is deliberately excluded (a handful of calls per
+//! run).
+//!
+//! Cache key (M1 decision: verify-input bytes, not full object bytes — the key material is in
+//! hand inside each choke point, while the repo-bytes content hash is only available at the
+//! upper processing layer):
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! key = SHA-256( "rpki-crypto-sig-cache-key-v1" | point-tag | "sha256WithRSAEncryption"
+//!                | SHA-256(verify input bytes) | SHA-256(signature bytes)
+//!                | SHA-256(verifier SPKI DER) )
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The signature bytes are part of the key so that a different signature over the same input
+//! under the same key can never inherit a positive verification fact.
+//!
+//! Storage:
+//!
+//! - Single small file next to the work DB (`<work-db-name>.crypto-sig-cache`), never inside
+//!   the work DB, not touched by periodic snapshot reset (#091/#092): the reset paths only
+//!   remove/replace the work DB directory and the PP/child-cert cache artifacts, not siblings
+//!   of their own choosing.
+//! - Binary format: 8-byte magic `RPKICSC2` | u64 record-count | records of
+//!   key[32] | verified_at_unix_secs(i64) | crypto_impl_version(u32) | reserved(u32).
+//!   A missing, corrupt, or magic-mismatched file (including the M1 `RPKICSC1` seen-set
+//!   format) is silently rebuilt empty. Writes are atomic (write-then-rename).
+//! - The cache is persisted once at the end of the validation stage (same point as the M1
+//!   seen-set). If a run fails mid-validation, entries added during that run are lost;
+//!   previously persisted entries are unaffected.
+//! - Size cap: approximate上限 `capacity` entries (default 2,000,000; measured M1 APNIC
+//!   ~148k keys/run, all5 estimated ~750k). When an insert would exceed the cap, the whole
+//!   cache is cleared and rebuilt from scratch (full-rebuild eviction — the simplest policy;
+//!   concurrent inserts may briefly overshoot the cap by a few entries). Each eviction is
+//!   counted in `evictions_total`.
+//! - Concurrency: entries live in 64 shards keyed by the first key byte, so parallel
+//!   validation workers rarely contend; statistics use relaxed atomics.
