> The proof in the article is not about unrolling.

Sure it is. The state machine expressed in the script checks one (or more) steps of the update rule. That's what we mean by unrolling, not the "or more" part but the fact that the script is just running a simple circuit for a fixed operation.

> doesn't invalidate the proof

Proof of what? It's not a proof of script being turing complete. If you're claiming that it's that-- it's invalid on its face.

If you're saying it's a proof that script can implement a static state machine that runs one or more steps at a time checking some transcript computed by an external process and check consistency of state using the outputs-- then sure, that's not news, nor controversial, it's been known almost all of the system's life.
