mrwulf 4071d68457 Double-scalar-mul proof campaign, bricks 1-3: table, digit step, loop
Three new proof files over the CurveField extraction, composing the proven
group-law layer (no new axioms, no associativity assumed — computational
layering over the abstract `edAdd`):

- `Proofs/DsmTableSpec.lean` — `NafLookupTable5::from(&A)`: the 8 entries
  are valid `ProjectiveNielsPoint` caches of valid on-curve points denoting
  the odd multiples A, 3A, ..., 15A as the `edOdd` double-and-add recursion.
  7 explicit loop peels over edwards_as_projective_niels_spec /
  add_projniels_law / compl_as_extended_law, seeded by edwards_double_law.
  `select`: both masserts (x odd, x < 16) DISCHARGED — panic-freedom is
  proven, not assumed; post enumerates all 8 digit cases.

- `Proofs/DsmStepSpec.lean` — `proj_double_law` (the projective doubling
  denotes `edAdd P P`; same Z^2-scaled linear_combination discipline as the
  extended-coordinate law), `compl_as_projective_law` ((X:Z),(Y:T) to
  (XT:YZ:ZT) preserves the point), `naf_select_entry` (digit-indexed lookup
  returns THE entry: NafEntryOf r A ((x-1)/2)), and `dsm_step_p_law` /
  `dsm_step_b_law`: the three-way NAF digit step denotes `edDigit` — add
  the d-th odd multiple, add its negation, or pass through.

- `Proofs/DsmLoopSpec.lean` — the 256-iteration Straus loop by GENUINE
  induction on the counter (one symbolic body walk, no unrolling):
  `dsm_loop_spec` — from the identity, the loop returns a valid on-curve
  point denoting `dsmFold ... edId 256`, the abstract double-and-add fold
  of both digit arrays over the table points. Digit and table hypotheses
  are exactly what the NAF spec and naf_table_spec provide (layering).

check.sh wired: PROOFS + AUDIT_IMPORTS + 7 new CERTS (naf_table_spec,
naf_select_spec, proj_double_law, compl_as_projective_law, dsm_step_p_law,
dsm_step_b_law, dsm_loop_spec), each `#print axioms`-audited to exactly
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]. Full check.sh green.

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 + all scalar proofs (add, sub,
                      # Montgomery mul) and kernel-audits 10 certificates,
                      # including the scalarImplementation aggregate
