18-18: Inconsistency: AI summary claims Mainnet binary was updated to v0.7.4

The AI summary states "Updated the Binary entry for Mainnet and Barra testnet from v0.7.3 to v0.7.4," but the Mainnet binary reference on Line 18 remains v0.7.3 and shows no changes. Based on the mainnet-overview.md file, this appears intentional—v0.7.4 is a Barra testnet-only release.

---

63-63: LGTM!

The Barra testnet binary reference has been correctly updated to v0.7.4 with the proper release tag link.

The repeated warnings about double-signing risks throughout the document appropriately emphasize the severity of this concern.
