Additional verified locators: RFC 8446 §§3.3–3.4 specify network-byte-order numbers and variable-length vectors, whose lengths count bytes rather than elements. §4.4.1 defines the transcript hash over ordered handshake messages including handshake type/length headers, excluding record-layer headers, with a synthetic message_hash replacement for ClientHello1 on HelloRetryRequest. §4.4.4 authenticates the prescribed transcript context with Finished.

Section 4.4.1: transcript hashes include handshake type/length headers, exclude record headers and use a synthetic message_hash after HelloRetryRequest. Section 4.4.4: Finished applies HMAC to the defined transcript hash.]
