saymrwulf 1766544daf scalar layer: Scalar52::sub FULLY proven mod l (sub_val_spec)
sub_val_spec closes the top-level two-clause value spec:
  denote(Scalar52.sub a b) = denote(a) - denote(b)   in ZMod l
for limb-bounded inputs with canonical subtrahend (scVal b < l).
Axiom-clean [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]; no sorry.

The assembly documented-as-remaining last session is now done. Key resolutions:
- Applied the WP "spec_bind" rule manually instead of "step", and reduced the
  resulting "let (difference,borrow) := (dw,w)" Prod-let with an explicit
  "show" — this was the destructuring friction that blocked the earlier
  attempt (step's arity heuristics mis-typed the pair result).
- Inlined the subtle "Choice::from" identity (no step-spec, like csel_step).
- PERFORMANCE: kept "scLimbs" as opaque atoms in the gamma5=1 derivation
  instead of "unfold ... at *" — the unfold exploded omega with 2^52..2^260
  coefficients and blew past 600s; atomic form proves in ~1 min (METHOD 4,
  same kernel-cost discipline as the field layer).
- The 2^260 borrow-wrap and the +l conditional-add cancel in ZMod l:
  beta5=0 direct; beta5=1 forces top carry gamma5=1 from scVal b < l, closed
  by linear_combination over the two telescopes (sub_telescope, add_telescope).

check-scalar.sh: sub_val_spec in the manifest + Phase-3 audit (4/4 clean);
proof-phase caps raised to 600s/8192MB for the assembly; full button green.
exponentiation.threshold raised to 300 for the 2^260 literal.

dalek-ed25519-verified

Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in dalek-cryptography/curve25519-dalek (upstream, v5.0.0-rc.1), built as a coherent proof pyramid in Lean 4 via the Charon/Aeneas transpilation pipeline:

        ┌──────────────────────────────┐
        │  Signature (EdDSA verify)    │   accepted ⇒ [8][S]B = [8]R + [8][k]A
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  Scalar arithmetic mod      │   Scalar52 ops correct mod 
        ├──────────────────────────────┤
        │  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.

Reproducing

source ~/aeneas-toolchain/env.sh
cd verification
./extract.sh    # Rust → LLBC → Lean (regenerates gen/)
./check.sh      # compiles EVERY shipped file + axiom-audits EVERY certificate

The scalar layer has its own pair of buttons:

./extract-scalar.sh   # regenerates gen/CurveScalar (Scalar52 limb arithmetic)
./check-scalar.sh     # compiles the scalar gen + the proven scalar foundation
