saymrwulf ff1eea473d scalar layer: prove Scalar52::sub borrow + conditional-add-L carry chains
New in Proofs/ScalarSubSpec.lean (all axiom-clean [propext, Classical.choice,
Quot.sound], no sorry, no native_decide):
- nat_and_mask52 / nat_shift52 / nat_shift63 : 52/63-bit ops -> %,/
- sub_step_arith : isolated per-limb borrow accounting (tiny ℕ context,
  correction-on-the-left so no truncated subtraction) — the METHOD-4
  discipline that keeps 2^260-scale coefficients out of any one certificate
- sub_loop_spec : the FULL 5-limb borrow chain of Scalar52::sub, unrolled
  via loop_step/range_next_*; wrapping_sub, 52-bit mask store, borrow-out
  bit. This is the loop unroll that blocked the earlier attempt.
- csel_step : step-spec for the subtle conditional_select (faithful model)
- cond_add_l_zero_spec / cond_add_l_one_spec : BOTH cases of conditional
  add-of-L, full carry chains; the condition-1 case steps the addend as a
  clean value so the index_mut write-back matches sub_loop's pattern
- sub_telescope / add_telescope : the 2^52i-weighted value telescopes to
  2^260, discharged by omega (no kernel-capacity blowup)

check-scalar.sh: ScalarSubSpec added to the compile manifest; Phase-3 axiom
audit extended to sub_loop_spec + cond_add_l_one_spec (3/3 clean). Full
button green.

Honest boundary: top-level sub_val_spec (⟦sub a b⟧ = ⟦a⟧-⟦b⟧ in ZMod ℓ)
is documented as remaining — every lemma it needs is proven; what's left is
the Aeneas binding-arity for destructuring sub_loop_spec's pair-valued
multi-existential postcondition inside the do-block, a mechanical not a
mathematical gap. No sorry shipped (Invariants H1/H4).

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.

Layer status

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

Trusted base

See TRUSTED-BASE.md for the complete list of assumptions (Lean kernel, mathlib, Charon/Aeneas semantics, external-function models, and — in the signature layer only — an opaque SHA-512 model).

Provenance

Proof engineering in this repository builds on the verification methodology and proof architecture of PlanetMacro/ed25519-verificationtest (the reference solution). All proofs here are checked against this fork's own extracted code; nothing is claimed that the check script does not compile.
