zeekay 6a9888847c B/M: a security crossing is its own act
M threshold-signs a security crossing the way it signs a fungible
transfer, and B carries the attestation to the destination register.
Same leaderless ceremony, same authorisation, same group key travelling
with the result so B verifies without asking M anything. What differs is
the message, and therefore the digest.

What B does here is narrower than what it does for a fungible asset. The
fungible path releases by minting: a confirmed lock authorises N units
to an account and nothing else has to be true. Whether a SECURITY may
exist on the destination at all is the destination register's question —
is this holder verified, do their claims satisfy the token, does a
holding period follow the paper across — and the token asks it in the
block that lands the position. B never decides a security may land. It
decides the attestation is genuine and says what it claims to say.

SecurityRequest is separate from BridgeRequest rather than a flag on it.
The two are released by different calls onto the destination, and a mint
against a register nobody asked is exactly the failure this path exists
to prevent; one type that could be either leaves that difference to a
branch somebody has to remember to write.

Two fields the destination cannot look up for itself travel with the
crossing — the holder's ONCHAINID on the source register, and when they
first received there. Without the second, an arriving position anchors
its clock to now, and a holding period a crossing resets is one a
crossing washes off.

A short identity is refused rather than read as an absence: treating it
as absent lets a truncated field pass for "this holder had none". An
absent one travels as zero, which is honest.

Quantity is a uint256. A billion shares at eighteen decimals is an
ordinary size for a register and does not fit the uint64 the fungible
path carries; a truncated quantity is a position that arrives smaller
than it left, so it is refused rather than truncated.

Signer ids convert to strings at the boundary so a verifier on the far
side needs nothing of M's type graph. The crossing type itself is
aliased from internal/bridgeattest rather than copied — attest_bridge.go
keeps its own copy of BridgeTransfer, and two definitions kept in step
by hand is a way for a digest to drift across a boundary whose whole
value is that it cannot.
