@@ -218,6 +218,10 @@ Second batch (payment, attestation, escrow):
     documented in NIP.md; the buyer's escrow dialog includes that mint in the
     picker and prefers it, so the buyer locks at a mint the seller can redeem
     from. (Still open: seller-side receive from a mint they do not already have.)
+13. **Correctness guards:** fixed-price Buy is disabled when the seller requires
+    escrow (`item.escrow === 'required'`); ask-seller is available on an active
+    listing (not only once sold); payment receipts are scoped to the payer's
+    pubkey, so a stale/foreign receipt cannot be attached by another account.
