The state script this registry family’s witnesses co-locate with (#157 N1). It is the compiled hash of state.ak in this same partition, pinned rather than derived: Aiken cannot name a validator’s own hash, and deriving it from the registry parameter instead would admit a witness parametrised against a fabricated script whose hash merely prefixes the parameter.

The pin has no compile-time check. It has two EXECUTABLE ones.

A stale pin makes foldPresent find no registry, so every mint under every kind refuses and the devnet rows go red on the first token this registry tries to move.

#177 I177-COPIES closes the gap that left: the script-identity check now reads THIS constant out of this file and requires it to equal the state.state.spend hash of the blueprint it just built, so a stale pin is a red identity check on every commit rather than a red devnet row on whichever ticket next moves a token.
