## 1b. Design-level change — dm-verity uses two namespaces, not in-file offset
**PDF says (§5):** the erofs data and the dm-verity hash tree share a single
NVMe/TCP namespace, appended in one file and split on the host with
`systemd.verity_root_options=hash-offset=`.
**As built:** data and hash are **two separate namespaces** — `rootfs.erofs`
(data) and `rootfs.hash` (hash tree) — each a file in the OCI artifact, served as
its own NVMe namespace with a distinct pinned UUID. The cmdline uses
`systemd.verity_root_data=` / `systemd.verity_root_hash=` by-id devices with no
offset.
**Why:** Rocky 9.8 `systemd-veritysetup` does not support `hash-offset=` — it
logs `Encountered unknown option 'hash-offset=…', ignoring` then `Failed to load
verity superblock: invalid argument`, so the single-namespace layout never maps
`/dev/mapper/root`. Two namespaces is the design's own documented fallback and
uses systemd's native verity (no custom activation code; keeps root-hash
signature support for production). Devices are referenced by stable
`/dev/disk/by-id/nvme-uuid.<uuid>` (not `/dev/nvmeNnM`) because controller
indices shift with the transient discovery controller.

## 2. Implementation notes (not architectural)
These don't contradict the PDF (it doesn't specify them) but are worth recording.
