Structure, in order: (1) the record's numeric **log index** (`20485573`) in the Merkle tree, (2) the module and go.mod `h1:` hashes (the two lines `go mod verify` checks against), then a blank line and (3) an embedded **signed note**: the literal text `go.sum database tree`, the current tree size (`68835210`), the tree's root hash, and an Ed25519-style signature line prefixed `— sum.golang.org`. This is the actual checksum-transparency log construct described by the Go team's "Transparent Logs for Skeptical Clients" design, served live on every lookup — a client that only wants the `h1:` hash still receives (and can verify) proof that the record is consistently included in the current signed tree, not just a point value from a database.
