Research direction

Reproduce the issue from the profile at https://keytrace.dev/@heaths.dev and through Tools for Developers at https://keytrace.dev/developers, searching for heaths.dev. Start by tracing the verification result and the “Signing key is not from a trusted signer” error for the DNS and GitHub claims. Done means both claims verify without a red border or that error, while the working tangled claim remains valid.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Perhaps it's because I added the claims fairly early - back in February 2026 - but both my DNS and GitHub records successfully verify if I click the refresh record, but show a red border:

https://keytrace.dev/@heaths.dev

If I go to Tools for Developers and search for my username - heaths.dev - both claims show the error "Signing key is not from a trusted signer (source: at:///dev.keytrace.key/2026-02-10)".

I tried creating the again - while the old ones existed - and they appeared to work, but when I refreshed that page they showed the same error. Maybe I need to delete them and recreate them? I only kept the old ones initially just in case something failed. These claims were added through keytrace. Was the key back then rotated or otherwise revoked? But then why is my tangled claim valid which was signed and verified at the same time?
