Phase 2c exists because a source-regex enumerator proved evadable in ltl-accumulator-verified: attributed, private and `instance` declarations and a nested-namespace basename collision all slipped past it. The fix was to stop reading source text and ask the Lean environment, and that fix was ported here. But a fix ported is not a fix tested. selftest-inventory.sh proves the GATE reacts to a difference; it feeds synthetic observations and never runs the walker. Nothing here had ever asked whether the WALKER SEES a declaration written in an evasive shape. selftest-shapes.sh adds all four shapes to an audited module, recompiles it, runs the real Phase 2c, and requires each one to be NAMED in the UNCLASSIFIED list. Asserting that the gate merely failed would not do: one shape surfacing fails the run while the other three ride along unseen. All four forks report all four. Negative-tested by removing the injection — the run then reports the walker blind and fails. The victim module is derived from each repo's own manifest, not named: the forks do not share a corpus (dalek/anza attack Proofs.Basic, risc0/betrusted Proofs.DecompressMain), and a hard-coded name would have silently found nothing on half of them. It must be manifested, must not be an inventory or audit driver, and must be imported by no other manifest module. Two notes for whoever edits this next. When re-deriving a leaf module, the inventory drivers must be excluded from the set of IMPORTERS as well as from the candidates: they import the whole corpus, so leaving them in makes every module look imported, finds no leaf, and the test silently has no victim at all. And a lift of Phase 2c needs SCALAR_SH/SCALAR_MANIFEST alongside PROOFS, or the coverage check dies on an unbound variable. New executable pinned in HARNESS.sha256. Certified by a full sweep: both buttons, all four forks, purged trees, machine otherwise idle. 8/8 green. |

betrusted-ed25519-verified
Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in betrusted-io/curve25519-dalek (Precursor/Xous fork, v4.1.2), built as a coherent proof pyramid in Lean 4 via the Charon/Aeneas transpilation pipeline:
┌──────────────────────────────┐
│ Signature (EdDSA verify) │ accepted ⇔ decompress(R) = [k](−A)+[s]B
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ Scalar arithmetic mod ℓ │ Scalar52 ops correct mod ℓ
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ Group law (twisted Edwards) │ point ops = complete addition law
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ Field 𝔽_p, p = 2²⁵⁵ − 19 │ FieldElement51 ops correct mod p
└──────────────────────────────┘
Every layer states its theorems about the actual Aeneas-transpiled Rust
code (never about a hand-written re-model), and every claim in the status
table below is backed by a compiled proof plus an axiom audit of the named
certificate. Files that do not compile under verification/check.sh are not
in this repository.
Layer status

✅ proven (phases 1+2) | standard three + the button-enforced SHA-512/wire-format boundary — see The signature apex |
Status legend: ✅ proven & axiom-audited · ⏳ in progress · ❌ not started.
This table is updated only when verification/check.sh passes for the layer.
The signature apex (phases 1 and 2)
The apex certificate CurveFieldProofs.verify_accepts_iff is the literal EdDSA
acceptance criterion, proven about the extracted verifier:
For a signature that parses, the verifier returns
Ok(())iff the recomputed compressed pointcompress([s]·B − [k]·A)equals the signature'sR, byte-for-byte — wherekis whatever scalar the opaque SHA-512 oracle produces from(R, A, msg).
The recomputation runs entirely through the proven model: the vendored ed25519-dalek verify glue is extracted as gen/CurveSig, whose
hand-maintained externals import gen/CurveField — every curve and scalar call
resolves by fully-qualified name to a proven definition. Only SHA-512 (a
single monomorphic sha512_hash3(R, A, m) oracle — this fork's sha2-0.10 stack
makes the incremental-hasher types untranslatable) and the wire-format types
stay opaque.
check.sh has a dedicated audit phase (Phase 3b) that fails the build unless
each apex-tier certificate's axiom cone is exactly
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound] + {ed25519.Signature, verifying.sha512_hash3, ed25519.Signature.to_bytes, signature.error.Error, signature.error.Error.new}
— i.e. the three Lean foundations plus the documented SHA-512/wire-format
boundary. Zero curve, scalar, or backend axioms. The companion certificate
verify_loop_full (the 32-byte comparison loop computes array equality)
carries the standard three axioms only.
Phase 2 (complete): the point-level lift. Phase 3b enforces the SAME axiom boundary on three further tiers that lift the byte equation to points:
| Tier | Certificate | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| half-lift | verify_accepts_iff_point |
accepted ⇔ R = the canonical encoding of [k]·(−A) + [s]·B (compress semantics + as_bytes canonicity + hash-to-scalar, recompute chain inverted) |
| point equation | verify_accepts_iff_point_eq |
for any valid on-curve Q canonically encoded by R: accepted ⇔ Q = [k]·(−A) + [s]·B as points (encoding-injectivity: d non-square + parity root-selection) |
| full lift | verify_accepts_iff_decompress |
R decompresses to a valid on-curve Pt, and accepted ⇔ Pt = [k]·(−A) + [s]·B — the constructive capstone |
The full lift runs through the extracted CompressedEdwardsY::decompress
itself, proven end-to-end: from_bytes parses the y-residue exactly below
bit 255 (from_bytes_spec), sqrt_ratio_i returns the even square root of
(y²−1)/(dy²+1) (sqrt_ratio_i_sq_spec, Fermat-exponent square root), and
the sign bit selects the x-parity (decompress_of_canonical, standard three
axioms). Byte comparison ↔ encoding equality ↔ point equality ↔
decompressed-point equality: every link is machine-checked over the
extracted code, and check.sh fails the build if any of the four tiers'
cones deviates from the boundary above.

- Scope caveat: this verifies the fork's pure-Rust
serial/u64path. The Engine25519 hardware-accelerator path on Precursor is different code and is NOT covered by these proofs.

./extract.sh # Rust → LLBC → Lean (regenerates gen/)
./check.sh # compiles EVERY shipped file + axiom-audits EVERY certificate
The gen model is ONE merged universe (gen/CurveField: field + curve +
scalar + the verify path's reachable code), regenerated in full by
extract.sh. The scalar layer keeps its own check button:
./check-scalar.sh # compiles the merged gen + all scalar proofs (add, sub,
# Montgomery mul, byte-parsing) and kernel-audits the
# scalar certificates, incl. the scalarImplementation
# aggregate
