//! The signed line index (REQ-INDEXAUTH-001) — which layers a line HAS.
//!
//! varve signs each layer manifest and each realm, but the LISTING of a line's
//! layers has been the registry's raw `/tags/list`: unauthenticated. A
//! compromised or merely stale index host can HIDE a layer and every artifact
//! it does serve still verifies, so nothing detects it. Hiding also breaks
//! digest-pinned resolution, because a `LayerRef::Digest` is resolved by
//! enumerating tags and checking each candidate's payload digest.
//!
//! This is the Uptane insight applied to varve: rollback protection has to
//! survive a compromised Director/registry, not merely a tampered artifact.
//! Guix gets the equivalent property by authenticating its index git-history
//! through signed commits.
//!
//! The document is deliberately the same shape as `linestatus`: a DSSE
//! envelope under its own payload type, a monotonic per-line counter, and the
//! same refusal on a counter regression. Two signed documents about the same
//! line that disagree on how they are handled would be a bug generator.
