Hi @typed-sigterm ,

Thanks for reporting this — I’ve seen similar behavior recently and can confirm it looks like a minor delay in GitHub's GPG signature verification service, especially when:

Commits are made via the GitHub web UI (e.g., editing a file in-browser).

A fork or branch update happens just before opening a PR.

What’s Likely Happening:

GitHub may apply the signature check asynchronously, especially in fast UI-to-PR flows.

Initially, the UI marks the commit as Unverified because the GPG check hasn’t yet completed.

After a few seconds or a page refresh, it shows as Verified, as expected.

Recommendation:

If the verification updates within a short time (usually after a page reload), it's not a serious issue — more of a delayed UI sync rather than a failed signature. That said, GitHub could improve UX by either:

Showing a “Verifying…” status temporarily instead of a red “Unverified” marker.

Delaying PR page load until verification completes.

If this happens frequently or the delay gets longer, consider submitting a bug report directly via GitHub Support.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you see inconsistent verification beyond a few seconds — I’d be happy to dig deeper.

Best,
