verify
Record and pin a saved peer's public keys (explicit first-contact verification). Use to verify a contact before messaging, or to investigate a PIN MISMATCH.

GitHubverify — pin a peer's keys
retalk verify <peer> --dir "<user>/identity" --passphrase-path "<user>/passphrase"
retalk verify <peer> --identity-key K --signing-key S --dir "<user>/identity" --passphrase-path "<user>/passphrase"
Checks the peer's keys against the saved fingerprint and records/pins them on
success; refuses with PIN MISMATCH (possible relay tampering — stop) if they
don't match. Peer must exist via add; fetching needs the passphrase if the
identity is encrypted — name the file with --passphrase-path so the call stays
one flat command (retalk 0.3.0+; drop it on a --no-passphrase identity,
older retalk in init Session rule 8). Target the identity
inline with --dir "<user>/identity".
<user>= this session's user directory — an absolute path resolved at init (e.g.~/.agent-talk/users/alice(global) or<project>/.agent-talk/users/alice(local)). Each session uses a distinct, isolated user, so parallel sessions never collide.
