review round 5: bind the policy, the specification bodies, and the harness
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-4 gate was closed at the
EXPLOITS, not the MECHANISMS: it bound the manifest rows while the things he
moved sat outside the binding. Three fail-opens, each executed end-to-end with
the button printing ALL GREEN. No theorem, proof, fold, or model body changed.
NEW-1 — the policy constant was unbound. `manifestFingerprint` covered
`manifest` but never `allowedBoundary`, the sole predicate the enumeration
tests against; adding one name re-opened the False-proof with the committed
fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL.
NEW-2 — the specification bodies were unbound. The statement fingerprint pinned
each certificate's TYPE, which names its reference fold; redefining that fold to
*be* the extracted loop left cone and type-hash identical while the certificate
degenerated to `loop = loop`. 100% of the fidelity content lives in those defs.
NEW-3 — the harness was unbound. Stubbing verification/lean-guard alone, without
touching check.sh or the proofs, gave ALL GREEN in 3.6s over destroyed proofs.
FIX — one mechanism rather than three patches. Audit.lean now emits a canonical
AUDIT-MANIFEST block and check.sh binds to its SHA-256. The block covers the
POLICY constants, every certificate's fully-elaborated statement, and every
specification constant transitively reachable from those statements with its
fully-elaborated BODY (41 constants; the closure is computed, so a new fold
cannot appear without moving the digest; Prop-valued constants contribute their
statement, by proof irrelevance). This also retires the 32-bit Expr.hash as the
binding (NEW-5) — it survives only as a per-certificate diagnostic.
Enumeration now covers EVERY declaration kind (a `def : False` passed before)
in the eight certificate modules AND in Audit.lean itself — the auditor is no
longer exempt (round-5 R1). A bare `axiom` in audited scope is now an error.
Phase 0 purges stale .olean (the verdict must depend on committed bytes, not
.gitignored build state — NEW-4), forbids any .lean outside gen/ and Proofs/,
and sha256-pins the four model files AND lean-guard. lean-guard is KEPT rather
than removed (the reviewer's portability advice is declined by operator
decision): it is the memory cap and machine-wide lock that protect the build
machine after a 12.2GB OOM took the host down. That trade-off is documented.
check.sh's "Certificates proven:" line now comes from the audited manifest; the
hand-kept CERTS array — the one authoritative claim string nothing bound — is
deleted.
check-selftest.sh: 14 attacks, all rejected, plus a check that the hashed block
literally carries the twelve fold bodies. Attacks 9-14 are the reviewers' and an
independent drill's own exploits, turned into regression tests.
DOCS. TRUSTED-BASE gains item 11 (the REAL trusted computing base — lean-guard
pinned; check.sh, the toolchain env, $AENEAS_HOME, python3 and Lean still
trusted) and item 12 (the apex does not compose the ten). README: the audit
description rewritten; the XMSS sibling-order claim downgraded from "pins" to
"makes visible", with a new blanket non-claim covering all ten loop
certificates; the de-plumbing file claim corrected (round 1 touched only
verify_mono.rs, round 2 only helpers.rs — which is ON the deployed verify AND
sign paths, now disclosed; wots.rs was never patched).
RECORDED-RUN: three lines that stood inside a fence were a hand-written summary,
not console output — fabricated evidence in the file whose purpose is machine
evidence. They are removed and the fabrication is named in place, together with
the correction that the "INDEPENDENT RUN" block predates this gate. New rule:
nothing goes in a fence unless captured with tee/cat, and every block states its
date, pin, and who ran it. The transcripts added here follow it.
Also disclosed rather than buried: three bugs in my own test harness this round
(an olean-purge build-order break, an attack rejected by the wrong rule, and a
coverage assertion looking on the wrong line) — each would have let an attack
pass or fail for an unrelated reason.

review round 4: bind the cert set, statements, and model bytes (F1/F2/F3)
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-2 in-Lean exact-cone audit,
though sound for LISTED certs, left three fail-opens OUTSIDE the cone check —
and made check.sh print ALL GREEN over a repo proving False. All closed; no
theorem, proof, or fold changed (the 11 cones are unchanged).
F1 — the audited SET was unbound. Audit.lean now (a) enumerates EVERY theorem
defined in the eight certificate modules and requires each cone ⊆ boundary, so
an un-manifested `theorem _ : False := cheat _` fails regardless of naming
(this is the exact exploit the reviewer used); and (b) prints a MANIFEST
fingerprint over the whole committed manifest, which check.sh binds to — so
deleting/swapping a cert row fails outside Lean too.
F2 — only cones were bound, not statements. Each cert now also carries the
structural fingerprint (Expr.hash) of its elaborated type; a statement gutted
to a tautology of the same cone changes the fingerprint and fails.
F3 — the gen/ model bytes were unbound. New check.sh Phase 0 sha256-pins all
four gen/SlhVerify/*.lean (incl. the two hand-maintained *External files, now
hashed in PROVENANCE.json) BEFORE compiling; a hand-edited model fails first.
F4/F5 — docs. README cone diagram now roots honestly at slh_verify_internal
and states the pure/prehash domain-separator byte, the ctx>255 check, M'
assembly, and deserialization are ABOVE the root and uncovered (new
TRUSTED-BASE item 10). The false "rules out a wrong ADRS field" claim is
corrected in README + ChainSpec (a transliteration makes the field visible,
not excluded).
check-selftest.sh: eight attacks, all rejected (dead file; extra axiom;
dropped oracle; vanished cert; un-manifested False theorem; gutted statement;
hand-edited model; deleted manifest row). Full transcript + green check.sh in
verification/RECORDED-RUN.md.
Standing limit unchanged and disclosed: an audit cannot defend against an
author who edits the manifest AND check.sh AND the proofs together; the
consumer defense is the pinned commit reviewed at the pin.

phase 2: SECOND CERTIFICATE — WOTS+ chain loop (Algorithm 8) proven
fips205.wots_loop1_eq (Proofs/WotsSpec.lean): the extracted WOTS+ chain
loop wots_pk_from_sig_free_loop1 = the explicit fold that, at each index
i in [0, LEN), sets the chain address to i and runs chain_free on sig[i]
starting at digit msg[i] for W-1-msg[i] steps, writing tmp[i]. This is
the layer above chain: it CONSUMES chain_free and machine-checks that the
LEN chains are run with the right start indices, step counts, and output
slots — the WOTS+ verification recomputation.
Cone stays clean: [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound,
verify_mono.oracle.f] — the loop uses the REAL Aeneas StepUsize (usize
range, no plumbing axiom) and calls chain_free/index_usize/update, all
real; the try_from / Take-iterator / base_2b input-prep plumbing lives in
the enclosing wots_pk_from_sig_free, NOT in this loop.
Proof mirrors ChainSpec, reusing the generic loop_unfold_bind: usize_succ
+ fwd_succ_usize + hnext_usize (StepUsize iterator step), hbody1 (loop
body as clean do-block), wots_loop1_step (one loop step = one fold step),
wots_loop1_eq (induction, IH under the fatter binds via bind_congr x8).
No sorry; check.sh green over BOTH certificates with the axiom audit.
The chain-proof patterns transferred one-for-one to the next layer.

phase 2: THIRD CERTIFICATE — XMSS auth-path Merkle loop (Algorithm 10)
fips205.xmss_loop_eq (Proofs/XmssSpec.lean): the extracted
xmss_pk_from_sig_free_loop equals the explicit Merkle-path fold — at step
k set the tree height to k+1, test bit k of the leaf index; even bit:
tree_index := i/2 and H(node || auth[k]); odd bit: tree_index := (i-1)/2
and H(auth[k] || node). This pins the sibling hash ORDER, the address
schedule, and the auth-path indexing of Merkle verification. Exact cone:
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound, verify_mono.oracle.h] — the first
certificate where H enters; F does not (the loop runs above the WOTS+
computation). check.sh green over all three certificates.
Fidelity review at authorship (three-way): extracted body (gen Funs.lean
761-801) == Rust verify_mono.rs xmss_pk_from_sig_free (verbatim from
upstream xmss.rs, hash calls -> oracle) == FIPS 205 Algorithm 10, incl.
the per-branch operation order (even: node-slice then auth[k]; odd:
auth[k] then node-slice) and the k+1 tree height.
Proof: the chain/wots recipe on a u32 range — u32_succ / fwd_succ / hnext
/ loop_unfold_bind reused VERBATIM from ChainSpec. New layer lesson (the
one novel obstruction, on pattern): the loop body BRANCHES on the index
bit, so the step lemma splits with by_cases + if_pos/if_neg; and the
get_tree_index pair-bind needs its matcher made concrete before the tail
normalizes — bind_congr + rintro to fix the scrutinee, then FULL simp
(only full simp iota-reduces the pair matcher; simp only will not) with
bind_assoc + bind_ok + the loop def closes each branch. The certificate's
own induction threads the IH under the opaque binds of BOTH branches with
bind_congr, per branch, ending exact ih.
check.sh: PROOFS += XmssSpec, CERTS += fips205.xmss_loop_eq, audit

"XmssSpec"
phase 2: FOURTH CERTIFICATE — hypertree layer walk (Algorithm 12) + de-plumbing
fips205.ht_loop_eq (Proofs/HtSpec.lean): the extracted ht_verify_free_loop
equals the explicit d-layer fold — at layer j: idx_leaf = idx_tree masked
to h' bits (mask+cast), idx_tree >>= h', layer address j, tree address to
the shifted index, node recomputed through xmss_pk_from_sig on the j-th
XMSS signature. Pins the hypertree layer schedule; the final node ==
pk_root comparison sits one bind above in ht_verify_free (apex material).
Exact cone: [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound, verify_mono.oracle.f,
verify_mono.oracle.h, verify_mono.oracle.t_l] — kernel-3 plus exactly the
three hash primitives the referenced WOTS+/XMSS machinery touches.
THE LAYER'S OBSTRUCTION (one per layer, on pattern) was not the proof but
the CONE: the first extraction of this loop carried Result-conversion
plumbing (try_from/is_err/unwrap; transitively a Take iterator and the
&u32 Sub instance) — all axioms, rightly rejected by the Phase-3 audit.
Fixed at SOURCE level (fips205-source 6f6a9d6, 8 sites, semantics
identical for every FIPS 205 parameter set, differential test re-run
green), then re-extracted: the loop body is now straight-line and the
proof is the plain chain/wots recipe (no branches; base case via
loop.eq_1; step lemma closes by rfl; induction = bind_congr ×12).
Also in this commit:
- gen/ regenerated from the patched snapshot (loop bodies of the three
prior certificates byte-identical modulo source line comments; all
three proofs recompiled unchanged and re-audited green).
- Dead-stub deletion (axiom-shadowing hygiene rule): the five obsoleted
plumbing axioms + vestigial take.default removed from FunsExternal, the

phase 2: FIFTH CERTIFICATE — FORS pk-from-sig (Algorithm 17), inner + outer loops
Two theorems, split into two files (METHOD-4 discipline — each proof a clean
unit). NB: an early single-file/bare-rfl attempt appeared to "OOM at the clamp",
but that memory pressure was a SYMPTOM of the runaway whnf diagnosed below, not
a real memory need — the fixed proofs compile in seconds at the default caps.
fips205.fors_inner_loop_eq (Proofs/ForsInnerSpec.lean): the extracted inner
Merkle auth-path loop for ONE FORS tree (fors_pk_from_sig_free_loop0_loop0)
equals the explicit auth-path fold — at level j set tree height j+1, test bit j
of THIS tree's leaf index indices[i], hash the current node with auth.tree[j] in
the bit order (even: node||auth[j]; odd: auth[j]||node), halving the tree index.
Structurally the XMSS auth-path loop, but the bit source is indices[i]>>j and the
loop returns the (adrs,node) pair. Cone: kernel-3 + verify_mono.oracle.h.
fips205.fors_outer_loop_eq (Proofs/ForsOuterSpec.lean): the extracted outer
per-tree loop (fors_pk_from_sig_free_loop0) equals the explicit K-tree fold — for
each tree i, compute the leaf with F at tree index (i<<a)+indices[i], run the
inner Merkle loop over the A levels, write the result to root[i]. Consumes the
inner loop as an opaque sub-call. Cone: kernel-3 + verify_mono.oracle.{f,h}
(F per leaf; H transitively through the inner loop).
Fidelity review at authorship (three-way, both loops): extracted bodies (gen
Funs.lean 893-933 inner, 954-985 outer) == Rust verify_mono.rs
fors_pk_from_sig_free (verbatim from upstream fors.rs, hash calls -> oracle) ==
FIPS 205 Algorithm 17, incl. the even/odd sibling order and the (i<<a)+indices[i]
leaf index.
Proof: the branched-Merkle recipe (XMSS) for the inner loop (by_cases on the
index bit, pair-bind matcher made concrete via bind_congr+rintro then full simp);
the HT straight-line recipe for the outer loop, adapted (bind_congr-peeled step
lemma + bind_congr x16 induction, both threading the inner-loop sub-call opaquely). loop_unfold_bind / u32_succ
/ fwd_succ / hnext reused verbatim from ChainSpec.
check.sh: PROOFS += ForsInnerSpec, ForsOuterSpec; CERTS += the two fors certs;
audit imports both; check.sh settings unchanged (400s/4096MB). ForsOuterSpec
compiles in 4.4s / 2.4GB after the fix below. check.sh green over ALL SIX
certificates with the axiom audit. README status -> FIVE certificates.
DIAGNOSIS NOTE (honesty): ForsOuterSpec's fors_outer_step first closed with a
bare `rfl`, which whnf'd the whole 16-bind body INCLUDING the inner-loop `loop`
term and hit a DETERMINISTIC 4M-heartbeat timeout (never actually passed — an
earlier "green" reading was a misread wrapper exit code; the real error was
hidden by check.sh piping per-file output to /dev/null). Fix: peel the 16 binds
with bind_congr so the closing rfl only sees the small loop-tail, and close the
post-pair-rintro tail with a full simp (the pair `let` won't iota via simp only).
This is the HtSpec straight-line recipe adapted for a body that nests a loop.

phase 2: INPUT-PREP layer — to_int, to_byte, WOTS+ checksum (3 kernel-3 certs)
Three straight-line range-loop fidelity theorems (Proofs/InputPrepSpec.lean),
each #print axioms = EXACTLY [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound] — pure
byte/bit arithmetic, NO hash oracle enters (the cleanest cones in the campaign):
- fips205.to_int_loop_eq (Algorithm 2, toInt): the extracted big-endian
byte->u64 loop = the fold total <- (total<<8) + x[i].
- fips205.to_byte_loop_eq (Algorithm 3, toByte): the extracted u32->byte loop =
the fold writing s[n-1-i] and shifting total right by 8.
- fips205.wots_csum_loop_eq: the WOTS+ checksum loop = the fold
csum <- csum + (W-1-msg[i]).
All three are the straight-line recipe (hbody -> step lemma closed by rfl ->
induction with bind_congr per bind). to_int + checksum use the usize range
helpers (WotsSpec), to_byte the u32 range (ChainSpec); loop_unfold_bind reused.
Also in this commit — DE-PLUMBING ROUND 2 landed (source bea1051, separate
commit in fips205-source): to_int's iter().take() and base_2b's iter_mut()
became index loops, so both extract to real definitions. Consequently:
- gen/ regenerated (to_int_loop / base_2b_loop0 now clean StepUsize range
loops with Slice.index_usize / Slice.update; the six prior certificates
recompiled UNCHANGED and re-audited green against the new gen).
- The core::iter::adapters::take::Take::next AXIOM — the LAST non-oracle,
non-zeroize plumbing axiom on the verify path — is now unreferenced and was
DELETED from FunsExternal (dead-stub hygiene rule). The model's external
surface is now EXACTLY: the 5 SHA-2 oracles + 3 zeroize blanket impls (never
on the verify path) + the discharged-real u32 Step defs. Nothing else.
Fidelity review at authorship (three-way): extracted loop bodies (gen
Funs.lean) == Rust helpers.rs to_int/to_byte + verify_mono checksum (verbatim
FIPS 205 Alg 2/3) == the folds above.
check.sh: PROOFS += InputPrepSpec; CERTS += the 3 certs; audit imports it.
Green over ALL NINE certificates at default caps (400s/4096MB).

phase 2: THE APEX — slh_verify_128s accepts iff recomputed root = pk_root
fips205.slh_verify_128s_accepts_iff (Proofs/ApexSpec.lean): the extracted
top-level SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s verifier returns `ok true` if and only if the
recomputed hypertree root byte-equals the pinned public-key root pk.pk_root.
There is NO acceptance path other than root equality.
slh_verify_128s mprime sig pk
= (do let root ← slhVerifyRoot 63 30 mprime sig pk
ok (decide (root.val = pk.pk_root.val)))
where slhVerifyRoot is byte-for-byte the extracted slh_verify_internal_free
pipeline (H_msg digest -> md/idx_tree/idx_leaf split via to_int + masks ->
fors_pk_from_sig -> hypertree recompute over xmss over wots over chain), with
only the final ht_verify_free comparison factored out.
#print axioms cone = EXACTLY [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound,
verify_mono.oracle.{f, h, h_msg, t_l, t_len}] — the three kernel axioms plus
PRECISELY the five SHA-2 hash oracles, and nothing else. No plumbing, no
transpiler artifacts. This is the boundary the whole campaign targeted: the
deployed verify path is machine-checked down to five named hash functions.
Structure:
- arrayEqU8_spec: the library array equality PartialEqArray.eq on two
Array U8 N returns exactly the decidable byte-equality of their lists (a
List.allM induction; the one real lemma). This is what makes "accepts" mean
"root byte-equals pk_root" explicitly, in the spirit of the ed25519
verify_accepts_iff.
- ht_verify_free_split: ht_verify_free = htVerifyRoot >>= (byte-compare to
pk_root), via arrayEqU8_spec on the tail; bind_congr threads the setup.
- slh_verify_internal_accepts_iff (generic, all param sets) + the 128s
corollary: unfold the internal, rewrite the ht tail with the split, flatten
with bind_assoc; both sides become the identical do-block (simp closes
structurally — no whnf of the nested ht_verify_free_loop, the ForsOuter
lesson).
Honest scope: the apex is an ACCEPTANCE characterization — it pins that the
top-level accept is exactly root equality over the extracted recomputation,
whose every loop is individually fidelity-certified by the ten preceding
theorems (chain/wots/xmss/ht/fors/input-prep). It does NOT re-derive the
recomputation as a closed-form mathematical hypertree value; that composition
of all ten fold-fidelity theorems into one expression is a further step, not
claimed here. The security-relevant statement — an accepted signature means
the verifier recomputed a root matching the pinned key, down to five hash
oracles — is exactly what is proven.
check.sh: PROOFS += ApexSpec; CERTS += fips205.slh_verify_128s_accepts_iff;
audit imports it. Green over ALL ELEVEN certificates at default caps.
The verify-path proof pyramid is COMPLETE. What remains before any LTL
attestation is operator-gated and NOT started (the big halt): the pacta
allowed-cone table entry + the append ceremony with the operator signing key.

phase 2: FIRST CERTIFICATE — chain (Algorithm 5) proven, button green
verification/check.sh is green (exit 0): 3 phases — model compiles,
proofs compile, axiom audit passes.
fips205.chain_free_loop_eq (Proofs/ChainSpec.lean): the extracted
chain_free loop = the explicit s-fold hash chain, hash address i..i+s-1.
Machine-checked, for the deployed monomorphic SHA2-128s verify path, that
there is no off-by-one loop bound, no wrong address field, no wrong
threading. #print axioms cone = EXACTLY [propext, Classical.choice,
Quot.sound, verify_mono.oracle.f] — kernel three + the one hash oracle,
zero transpiler plumbing (the u32 Step machinery was discharged earlier
with real defs). check.sh Phase 3 enforces cone subset of kernel-3 + the
five SHA-2 oracles, failing the build otherwise.
Proof structure (all lemmas axiom-clean, no sorry): u32_succ + fwd_succ
(the monadic u32 increment, checked against pinned rustc semantics);
loop_unfold_bind (one turn of the Aeneas loop fixpoint, closed by cases
because a hand-written match compiles to a non-defeq matcher);
hnext + hbody (iterator step and loop body as clean equations);
chain_step (one loop step = one fold step); chain_free_loop_eq
(induction, IH threaded under the opaque binds with bind_congr).
Both prior sorries closed. Certificate lives in Proofs/ (not drafts/);
the WIP draft is retired. check.sh committed as -F stdin per the
no-backticks-in-commit-messages rule.

review round 5: bind the policy, the specification bodies, and the harness
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-4 gate was closed at the
EXPLOITS, not the MECHANISMS: it bound the manifest rows while the things he
moved sat outside the binding. Three fail-opens, each executed end-to-end with
the button printing ALL GREEN. No theorem, proof, fold, or model body changed.
NEW-1 — the policy constant was unbound. `manifestFingerprint` covered
`manifest` but never `allowedBoundary`, the sole predicate the enumeration
tests against; adding one name re-opened the False-proof with the committed
fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL.
NEW-2 — the specification bodies were unbound. The statement fingerprint pinned
each certificate's TYPE, which names its reference fold; redefining that fold to
*be* the extracted loop left cone and type-hash identical while the certificate
degenerated to `loop = loop`. 100% of the fidelity content lives in those defs.
NEW-3 — the harness was unbound. Stubbing verification/lean-guard alone, without
touching check.sh or the proofs, gave ALL GREEN in 3.6s over destroyed proofs.
FIX — one mechanism rather than three patches. Audit.lean now emits a canonical
AUDIT-MANIFEST block and check.sh binds to its SHA-256. The block covers the
POLICY constants, every certificate's fully-elaborated statement, and every
specification constant transitively reachable from those statements with its
fully-elaborated BODY (41 constants; the closure is computed, so a new fold
cannot appear without moving the digest; Prop-valued constants contribute their
statement, by proof irrelevance). This also retires the 32-bit Expr.hash as the
binding (NEW-5) — it survives only as a per-certificate diagnostic.
Enumeration now covers EVERY declaration kind (a `def : False` passed before)
in the eight certificate modules AND in Audit.lean itself — the auditor is no
longer exempt (round-5 R1). A bare `axiom` in audited scope is now an error.
Phase 0 purges stale .olean (the verdict must depend on committed bytes, not
.gitignored build state — NEW-4), forbids any .lean outside gen/ and Proofs/,
and sha256-pins the four model files AND lean-guard. lean-guard is KEPT rather
than removed (the reviewer's portability advice is declined by operator
decision): it is the memory cap and machine-wide lock that protect the build
machine after a 12.2GB OOM took the host down. That trade-off is documented.
check.sh's "Certificates proven:" line now comes from the audited manifest; the
hand-kept CERTS array — the one authoritative claim string nothing bound — is
deleted.
check-selftest.sh: 14 attacks, all rejected, plus a check that the hashed block
literally carries the twelve fold bodies. Attacks 9-14 are the reviewers' and an
independent drill's own exploits, turned into regression tests.
DOCS. TRUSTED-BASE gains item 11 (the REAL trusted computing base — lean-guard
pinned; check.sh, the toolchain env, $AENEAS_HOME, python3 and Lean still
trusted) and item 12 (the apex does not compose the ten). README: the audit
description rewritten; the XMSS sibling-order claim downgraded from "pins" to
"makes visible", with a new blanket non-claim covering all ten loop
certificates; the de-plumbing file claim corrected (round 1 touched only
verify_mono.rs, round 2 only helpers.rs — which is ON the deployed verify AND
sign paths, now disclosed; wots.rs was never patched).
RECORDED-RUN: three lines that stood inside a fence were a hand-written summary,
not console output — fabricated evidence in the file whose purpose is machine
evidence. They are removed and the fabrication is named in place, together with
the correction that the "INDEPENDENT RUN" block predates this gate. New rule:
nothing goes in a fence unless captured with tee/cat, and every block states its
date, pin, and who ran it. The transcripts added here follow it.
Also disclosed rather than buried: three bugs in my own test harness this round
(an olean-purge build-order break, an attack rejected by the wrong rule, and a
coverage assertion looking on the wrong line) — each would have let an attack
pass or fail for an unrelated reason.

echo "=== Phase 0: build hygiene + model/harness integrity ==="
review round 6: pin the auditor, purge every olean, pin gen/ as a set
Round 6 confirmed the digest redesign closed NEW-1/NEW-2/NEW-5 at the mechanism
("the first time in three rounds I have not been able to gut a certificate"),
then demonstrated two more ways to reach ALL GREEN with the committed digest
BYTE-IDENTICAL over a repository proving False. Both are fixed.
NEW-7 — the digest bound the audit's DATA, never its LOGIC. Flipping the two
fail-closed guards in Proofs/Audit.lean to `unless true` disabled every in-Lean
check; the block's inputs genuinely had not changed, so the digest still
matched. Total attacker diff: 2 files, 6 insertions. Worse, TRUSTED-BASE item 11
listed the trusted-unbound set and did NOT mention Audit.lean, so a reviewer
using it as a map of what to read by hand would have skipped the file that
computes the number it is judged by.
FIX: Proofs/Audit.lean is now sha256-pinned in harness_integrity_sha256,
symmetric with lean-guard, and item 11 says so — including the honest residue:
an author who edits the logic AND rotates its pin is caught only by reading the
diff at the pin.
NEW-8 — Phase 0's purge covered gen/ and Proofs/ while the stray check greped
only *.lean, so an ORPHAN verification/Evil.olean whose source had been DELETED
fell between them, satisfied an import, and was invisible to git status
(*.olean is gitignored).
FIX: purge every .olean under verification/, and forbid stray .lean AND .olean.
NEW-9 (partial) — gen/ was pinned by four NAMES, not as a SET, so a new file
there was neither hashed nor forbidden while LEAN_PATH contains $PWD/gen.
FIX: Phase 0 asserts the gen/*.lean file set equals the pin map exactly. This
found a real gap on its first run: Aeneas emits *_Template.lean scaffolding into
gen/ on every extraction — untracked byproducts (a fresh clone has only the four
pinned files) that nothing imports but that sat on LEAN_PATH unpinned. They are
now purged as byproducts before the set assertion.
Also, from the reviewer's §3 suggestion: the canonical block is now COMMITTED as
verification/AUDIT-MANIFEST.txt, so a digest mismatch prints a real diff instead
of writing an observed file with nothing to compare against; check.sh also fails
if the committed copy drifts from what Lean emits.
check-selftest.sh: 16 attacks, all rejected, plus the coverage check. Attacks 16
and 17 are the reviewer's two demonstrations. Attacks that mutate the audit's
DATA now re-pin Audit.lean first, so they still test the digest/enumeration
rather than being stopped by the byte pin; attack 17 deliberately does not
re-pin, because the pin is what it tests.
Housekeeping: PROVENANCE.json trailing newline restored (NEW-12).
Disclosed rather than buried: two more of my own assertion bugs this round —
attack 16 asserted the hygiene message when the correct rejection is the purge
plus a failed import, and the earlier gen/ set check surfaced the template files
only because it was written strictly. Both are the wrong-diagnostic class.

specification constant transitively reachable from those statements with its
fully-elaborated BODY (41 constants; the closure is computed, so a new fold
cannot appear without moving the digest; Prop-valued constants contribute their
statement, by proof irrelevance). This also retires the 32-bit Expr.hash as the
binding (NEW-5) — it survives only as a per-certificate diagnostic.
Enumeration now covers EVERY declaration kind (a `def : False` passed before)
in the eight certificate modules AND in Audit.lean itself — the auditor is no
longer exempt (round-5 R1). A bare `axiom` in audited scope is now an error.
Phase 0 purges stale .olean (the verdict must depend on committed bytes, not
.gitignored build state — NEW-4), forbids any .lean outside gen/ and Proofs/,
and sha256-pins the four model files AND lean-guard. lean-guard is KEPT rather
than removed (the reviewer's portability advice is declined by operator
decision): it is the memory cap and machine-wide lock that protect the build
machine after a 12.2GB OOM took the host down. That trade-off is documented.
check.sh's "Certificates proven:" line now comes from the audited manifest; the
hand-kept CERTS array — the one authoritative claim string nothing bound — is
deleted.
check-selftest.sh: 14 attacks, all rejected, plus a check that the hashed block
literally carries the twelve fold bodies. Attacks 9-14 are the reviewers' and an
independent drill's own exploits, turned into regression tests.
DOCS. TRUSTED-BASE gains item 11 (the REAL trusted computing base — lean-guard
pinned; check.sh, the toolchain env, $AENEAS_HOME, python3 and Lean still
trusted) and item 12 (the apex does not compose the ten). README: the audit
description rewritten; the XMSS sibling-order claim downgraded from "pins" to
"makes visible", with a new blanket non-claim covering all ten loop
certificates; the de-plumbing file claim corrected (round 1 touched only
verify_mono.rs, round 2 only helpers.rs — which is ON the deployed verify AND
sign paths, now disclosed; wots.rs was never patched).
RECORDED-RUN: three lines that stood inside a fence were a hand-written summary,
not console output — fabricated evidence in the file whose purpose is machine
evidence. They are removed and the fabrication is named in place, together with
the correction that the "INDEPENDENT RUN" block predates this gate. New rule:
nothing goes in a fence unless captured with tee/cat, and every block states its
date, pin, and who ran it. The transcripts added here follow it.
Also disclosed rather than buried: three bugs in my own test harness this round
(an olean-purge build-order break, an attack rejected by the wrong rule, and a
coverage assertion looking on the wrong line) — each would have let an attack
pass or fail for an unrelated reason.

round 8: self-deriving harness pins, honest extraction guarantees, attestation basis
Third reviewer returned ATTEST-with-conditions at 1bc4f39. Its conditions are
committed verbatim as ATTESTATION-BASIS.md so the limits travel with the
artifact instead of living in a review document a consumer never sees. Condition
9 — that extract.sh's byte-identical regeneration has never been observed by any
party but the author — is the campaign's last open item, and the file records
that both reviewers are now blocked on it for different environmental reasons.
HARNESS PINS ARE NOW SELF-DERIVING. My round-7 fix hardcoded the required pin
names, which the reviewer correctly called a second thing to keep in sync, and
it supplied the boundary the harness does have: the executable bit. check.sh now
requires every executable file in verification/ to be pinned (itself excluded —
it cannot pin itself), plus Proofs/Audit.lean. A new harness script therefore
fails closed until pinned. Consequence, and the reviewer argued for it:
check-selftest.sh, drill.sh and extract.sh are now pinned too — the self-test is
the only artifact demonstrating the gates work, and its assertions have been
defective in four consecutive rounds, so weakening it should be a reviewable
rotation rather than an unnoticed edit.
THE EXTRACTION SCRIPT'S GUARANTEES ARE NOW STATED HONESTLY. The reviewer found a
tautological assert in it — comparing a dict against the comprehension that had
just built it — in the script written to fix a provenance-honesty defect. My
first repair (comparing kept[k] against t[k]) was tautological for the same
reason, which I confirmed by negative test. No check inside a transformer can
detect a corrupted input, because the transformer defines the output from that
input; that lesson is now recorded in the code. Both fake checks are gone and
the header and provenance text name what actually protects the result — the
pinned SOURCE_SHA256, the sk-must-be-present check, the group and test counts,
and verify mode — each of which I negative-tested.
Also: the self-test keeps its backups outside verification/ (cp -p preserves the
executable bit, so an in-tree backup would have looked like an unpinned harness
file and failed a run for an unrelated reason); the Phase-0 banner no longer
says a file 'differs' when an entry is simply absent; and attack 18's assertion
follows the renamed diagnostic and now requires both missing pins to be named.

review round 4: bind the cert set, statements, and model bytes (F1/F2/F3)
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-2 in-Lean exact-cone audit,
though sound for LISTED certs, left three fail-opens OUTSIDE the cone check —
and made check.sh print ALL GREEN over a repo proving False. All closed; no
theorem, proof, or fold changed (the 11 cones are unchanged).
F1 — the audited SET was unbound. Audit.lean now (a) enumerates EVERY theorem
defined in the eight certificate modules and requires each cone ⊆ boundary, so
an un-manifested `theorem _ : False := cheat _` fails regardless of naming
(this is the exact exploit the reviewer used); and (b) prints a MANIFEST
fingerprint over the whole committed manifest, which check.sh binds to — so
deleting/swapping a cert row fails outside Lean too.
F2 — only cones were bound, not statements. Each cert now also carries the
structural fingerprint (Expr.hash) of its elaborated type; a statement gutted
to a tautology of the same cone changes the fingerprint and fails.
F3 — the gen/ model bytes were unbound. New check.sh Phase 0 sha256-pins all
four gen/SlhVerify/*.lean (incl. the two hand-maintained *External files, now
hashed in PROVENANCE.json) BEFORE compiling; a hand-edited model fails first.
F4/F5 — docs. README cone diagram now roots honestly at slh_verify_internal
and states the pure/prehash domain-separator byte, the ctx>255 check, M'
assembly, and deserialization are ABOVE the root and uncovered (new
TRUSTED-BASE item 10). The false "rules out a wrong ADRS field" claim is
corrected in README + ChainSpec (a transliteration makes the field visible,
not excluded).
check-selftest.sh: eight attacks, all rejected (dead file; extra axiom;
dropped oracle; vanished cert; un-manifested False theorem; gutted statement;
hand-edited model; deleted manifest row). Full transcript + green check.sh in
verification/RECORDED-RUN.md.
Standing limit unchanged and disclosed: an audit cannot defend against an
author who edits the manifest AND check.sh AND the proofs together; the
consumer defense is the pinned commit reviewed at the pin.

review round 5: bind the policy, the specification bodies, and the harness
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-4 gate was closed at the
EXPLOITS, not the MECHANISMS: it bound the manifest rows while the things he
moved sat outside the binding. Three fail-opens, each executed end-to-end with
the button printing ALL GREEN. No theorem, proof, fold, or model body changed.
NEW-1 — the policy constant was unbound. `manifestFingerprint` covered
`manifest` but never `allowedBoundary`, the sole predicate the enumeration
tests against; adding one name re-opened the False-proof with the committed
fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL.
NEW-2 — the specification bodies were unbound. The statement fingerprint pinned
each certificate's TYPE, which names its reference fold; redefining that fold to
*be* the extracted loop left cone and type-hash identical while the certificate
degenerated to `loop = loop`. 100% of the fidelity content lives in those defs.
NEW-3 — the harness was unbound. Stubbing verification/lean-guard alone, without
touching check.sh or the proofs, gave ALL GREEN in 3.6s over destroyed proofs.
FIX — one mechanism rather than three patches. Audit.lean now emits a canonical
AUDIT-MANIFEST block and check.sh binds to its SHA-256. The block covers the
POLICY constants, every certificate's fully-elaborated statement, and every
specification constant transitively reachable from those statements with its
fully-elaborated BODY (41 constants; the closure is computed, so a new fold
cannot appear without moving the digest; Prop-valued constants contribute their

bad = 0
round 7: assert pin-map completeness (NEW-13), correct the count to 137, fix the regeneration-scope contradiction
The third reviewer demonstrated NEW-13: PROVENANCE.json is a tracked file that
nothing pins, and Phase 0's only completeness test was 'is the map non-empty'.
Deleting the harness_integrity_sha256 key therefore silently un-pinned BOTH
lean-guard and Proofs/Audit.lean with no diagnostic, after which the round-6
logic mutation ran to ALL GREEN over a repository proving False with the digest
byte-identical. Reproduced here before fixing. The required pin NAMES now live
hardcoded in check.sh — policy in the root of trust, values in the map — so a
shortened map is a build failure naming the missing entries. Self-test attack 18
performs the deletion.
GPT reviewer, independently: the documented '131 assertion points' was wrong.
Recounted from the code, the defensible figure is 137 mono-path evaluated cases
(9 retained original + 108 randomized + 10 NIST internal + 10 NIST
external-pure); 131 had folded in 3 deployed-only prehash cases while omitting
the retained test, and TRUSTED-BASE then decomposed it as 20 + 108 = 128,
contradicting itself. Item 9 now carries the full table, states that 127 of the
137 compare mono against deployed, keeps the 3 prehash cases explicitly outside
the total, and records that only two SHA2-512 and one SHAKE-256 vector are
executable there — so this is not NIST coverage of all four supported prehash
variants.
Also from GPT: PROVENANCE.json contradicted itself, saying extraction
'reproduces all four model files byte-identically' while its own _comment
correctly said the two *External files are hand-maintained. Extraction
regenerates two files; the other two are byte-pinned. Corrected.
TRUSTED-BASE item 11 now discloses that PROVENANCE.json is itself load-bearing
and unpinned, and item 7's stale snapshot head is fixed. README states the
lean-guard graceful fallback and that the empirical bridge runs on stable Rust
without any Lean toolchain (round-7 NEW-16), which is the first load-bearing
part of this work a third party can reproduce with cargo alone.

round 8: self-deriving harness pins, honest extraction guarantees, attestation basis
Third reviewer returned ATTEST-with-conditions at 1bc4f39. Its conditions are
committed verbatim as ATTESTATION-BASIS.md so the limits travel with the
artifact instead of living in a review document a consumer never sees. Condition
9 — that extract.sh's byte-identical regeneration has never been observed by any
party but the author — is the campaign's last open item, and the file records
that both reviewers are now blocked on it for different environmental reasons.
HARNESS PINS ARE NOW SELF-DERIVING. My round-7 fix hardcoded the required pin
names, which the reviewer correctly called a second thing to keep in sync, and
it supplied the boundary the harness does have: the executable bit. check.sh now
requires every executable file in verification/ to be pinned (itself excluded —
it cannot pin itself), plus Proofs/Audit.lean. A new harness script therefore
fails closed until pinned. Consequence, and the reviewer argued for it:
check-selftest.sh, drill.sh and extract.sh are now pinned too — the self-test is
the only artifact demonstrating the gates work, and its assertions have been
defective in four consecutive rounds, so weakening it should be a reviewable
rotation rather than an unnoticed edit.
THE EXTRACTION SCRIPT'S GUARANTEES ARE NOW STATED HONESTLY. The reviewer found a
tautological assert in it — comparing a dict against the comprehension that had
just built it — in the script written to fix a provenance-honesty defect. My
first repair (comparing kept[k] against t[k]) was tautological for the same
reason, which I confirmed by negative test. No check inside a transformer can
detect a corrupted input, because the transformer defines the output from that
input; that lesson is now recorded in the code. Both fake checks are gone and
the header and provenance text name what actually protects the result — the
pinned SOURCE_SHA256, the sk-must-be-present check, the group and test counts,
and verify mode — each of which I negative-tested.
Also: the self-test keeps its backups outside verification/ (cp -p preserves the
executable bit, so an in-tree backup would have looked like an unpinned harness
file and failed a run for an unrelated reason); the Phase-0 banner no longer
says a file 'differs' when an entry is simply absent; and attack 18's assertion
follows the renamed diagnostic and now requires both missing pins to be named.

round 7: assert pin-map completeness (NEW-13), correct the count to 137, fix the regeneration-scope contradiction
The third reviewer demonstrated NEW-13: PROVENANCE.json is a tracked file that
nothing pins, and Phase 0's only completeness test was 'is the map non-empty'.
Deleting the harness_integrity_sha256 key therefore silently un-pinned BOTH
lean-guard and Proofs/Audit.lean with no diagnostic, after which the round-6
logic mutation ran to ALL GREEN over a repository proving False with the digest
byte-identical. Reproduced here before fixing. The required pin NAMES now live
hardcoded in check.sh — policy in the root of trust, values in the map — so a
shortened map is a build failure naming the missing entries. Self-test attack 18
performs the deletion.
GPT reviewer, independently: the documented '131 assertion points' was wrong.
Recounted from the code, the defensible figure is 137 mono-path evaluated cases
(9 retained original + 108 randomized + 10 NIST internal + 10 NIST
external-pure); 131 had folded in 3 deployed-only prehash cases while omitting
the retained test, and TRUSTED-BASE then decomposed it as 20 + 108 = 128,
contradicting itself. Item 9 now carries the full table, states that 127 of the
137 compare mono against deployed, keeps the 3 prehash cases explicitly outside
the total, and records that only two SHA2-512 and one SHAKE-256 vector are
executable there — so this is not NIST coverage of all four supported prehash
variants.
Also from GPT: PROVENANCE.json contradicted itself, saying extraction
'reproduces all four model files byte-identically' while its own _comment
correctly said the two *External files are hand-maintained. Extraction
regenerates two files; the other two are byte-pinned. Corrected.
TRUSTED-BASE item 11 now discloses that PROVENANCE.json is itself load-bearing
and unpinned, and item 7's stale snapshot head is fixed. README states the
lean-guard graceful fallback and that the empirical bridge runs on stable Rust
without any Lean toolchain (round-7 NEW-16), which is the first load-bearing
part of this work a third party can reproduce with cargo alone.

bad = 1
review round 4: bind the cert set, statements, and model bytes (F1/F2/F3)
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-2 in-Lean exact-cone audit,
though sound for LISTED certs, left three fail-opens OUTSIDE the cone check —
and made check.sh print ALL GREEN over a repo proving False. All closed; no
theorem, proof, or fold changed (the 11 cones are unchanged).
F1 — the audited SET was unbound. Audit.lean now (a) enumerates EVERY theorem
defined in the eight certificate modules and requires each cone ⊆ boundary, so
an un-manifested `theorem _ : False := cheat _` fails regardless of naming
(this is the exact exploit the reviewer used); and (b) prints a MANIFEST
fingerprint over the whole committed manifest, which check.sh binds to — so
deleting/swapping a cert row fails outside Lean too.
F2 — only cones were bound, not statements. Each cert now also carries the
structural fingerprint (Expr.hash) of its elaborated type; a statement gutted
to a tautology of the same cone changes the fingerprint and fails.
F3 — the gen/ model bytes were unbound. New check.sh Phase 0 sha256-pins all
four gen/SlhVerify/*.lean (incl. the two hand-maintained *External files, now
hashed in PROVENANCE.json) BEFORE compiling; a hand-edited model fails first.
F4/F5 — docs. README cone diagram now roots honestly at slh_verify_internal
and states the pure/prehash domain-separator byte, the ctx>255 check, M'
assembly, and deserialization are ABOVE the root and uncovered (new
TRUSTED-BASE item 10). The false "rules out a wrong ADRS field" claim is
corrected in README + ChainSpec (a transliteration makes the field visible,
not excluded).
check-selftest.sh: eight attacks, all rejected (dead file; extra axiom;
dropped oracle; vanished cert; un-manifested False theorem; gutted statement;
hand-edited model; deleted manifest row). Full transcript + green check.sh in
verification/RECORDED-RUN.md.
Standing limit unchanged and disclosed: an audit cannot defend against an
author who edits the manifest AND check.sh AND the proofs together; the
consumer defense is the pinned commit reviewed at the pin.

review round 6: pin the auditor, purge every olean, pin gen/ as a set
Round 6 confirmed the digest redesign closed NEW-1/NEW-2/NEW-5 at the mechanism
("the first time in three rounds I have not been able to gut a certificate"),
then demonstrated two more ways to reach ALL GREEN with the committed digest
BYTE-IDENTICAL over a repository proving False. Both are fixed.
NEW-7 — the digest bound the audit's DATA, never its LOGIC. Flipping the two
fail-closed guards in Proofs/Audit.lean to `unless true` disabled every in-Lean
check; the block's inputs genuinely had not changed, so the digest still
matched. Total attacker diff: 2 files, 6 insertions. Worse, TRUSTED-BASE item 11
listed the trusted-unbound set and did NOT mention Audit.lean, so a reviewer
using it as a map of what to read by hand would have skipped the file that
computes the number it is judged by.
FIX: Proofs/Audit.lean is now sha256-pinned in harness_integrity_sha256,
symmetric with lean-guard, and item 11 says so — including the honest residue:
an author who edits the logic AND rotates its pin is caught only by reading the
diff at the pin.
NEW-8 — Phase 0's purge covered gen/ and Proofs/ while the stray check greped
only *.lean, so an ORPHAN verification/Evil.olean whose source had been DELETED
fell between them, satisfied an import, and was invisible to git status
(*.olean is gitignored).
FIX: purge every .olean under verification/, and forbid stray .lean AND .olean.
NEW-9 (partial) — gen/ was pinned by four NAMES, not as a SET, so a new file
there was neither hashed nor forbidden while LEAN_PATH contains $PWD/gen.
FIX: Phase 0 asserts the gen/*.lean file set equals the pin map exactly. This
found a real gap on its first run: Aeneas emits *_Template.lean scaffolding into
gen/ on every extraction — untracked byproducts (a fresh clone has only the four
pinned files) that nothing imports but that sat on LEAN_PATH unpinned. They are
now purged as byproducts before the set assertion.
Also, from the reviewer's §3 suggestion: the canonical block is now COMMITTED as
verification/AUDIT-MANIFEST.txt, so a digest mismatch prints a real diff instead
of writing an observed file with nothing to compare against; check.sh also fails
if the committed copy drifts from what Lean emits.
check-selftest.sh: 16 attacks, all rejected, plus the coverage check. Attacks 16
and 17 are the reviewer's two demonstrations. Attacks that mutate the audit's
DATA now re-pin Audit.lean first, so they still test the digest/enumeration
rather than being stopped by the byte pin; attack 17 deliberately does not
re-pin, because the pin is what it tests.
Housekeeping: PROVENANCE.json trailing newline restored (NEW-12).
Disclosed rather than buried: two more of my own assertion bugs this round —
attack 16 asserted the hygiene message when the correct rejection is the purge
plus a failed import, and the earlier gen/ set check surfaced the template files
only because it was written strictly. Both are the wrong-diagnostic class.

# no dead proof files: everything under Proofs/ must be in the manifest
review round 2: in-Lean exact-cone audit + reproducibility + doc honesty
Addresses the round-2 reviewer punch-list. No theorem statement, proof term,
or fold definition changed; the eleven cones are unchanged (independent
collectAxioms dump in verification/RECORDED-RUN.md).
AUDIT GATE (both reviewers, the critical one)
- Retire the bash #print-axioms text parser (fail-open on empty/truncated
reports, and only a SUBSET check). Replace with verification/Proofs/Audit.lean:
reads each certificate's cone from the kernel via collectAxioms and asserts
EXACT set equality against its expected boundary. Extra axiom, dropped
oracle, renamed/deleted cert, or an axiom/opaque sham each throw -> non-zero
Lean exit. No text to misparse; nothing fails open. check.sh Phase 3 now just
compiles it (and still requires the explicit PASSED line).
- check-selftest.sh rewritten to attack the new gate: dead-file, smuggled extra
axiom (named), dropped-oracle (subset would pass, exact must not), and a
vanished certificate (the collectAxioms-returns-[] trap). All four rejected.
REPRODUCIBILITY (GPT B1.4 / B1.5)
- extract.sh refuses a wrong-commit or dirty source tree (fail-closed), takes
an optional source-path arg, and pins the source commit.
- verification/PROVENANCE.json: single machine-readable pin set (source +
charon + aeneas commits/channel + lean + ocaml) with generated-file sha256.
- Re-running extract.sh reproduces gen/SlhVerify/{Types,Funs}.lean
byte-identically (companion fips205-source commit adds Cargo.lock +
rust-toolchain.toml; verified not to perturb the model).
DOC HONESTY (both reviewers)
- README: fix the self-contradiction (apex "not yet proven" trailer vs the
proven apex), the false "oracles kept OUTSIDE every cone" (they are INSIDE,
by design), "deployed monomorphic path" and "semantics-identical for every
parameter set" overclaims, "only two lines changed", stale snapshot head;
retitle the stale future-tense "what will be claimed" section.
- TRUSTED-BASE: drop "nothing proven yet"; add base_2b-inner and deployment-
bridge non-claims explicitly; current pin.
- ChainSpec header: "deployed monomorphic path" -> private verify_mono facade
(comment only).

Addresses the round-2 reviewer punch-list. No theorem statement, proof term,
or fold definition changed; the eleven cones are unchanged (independent
collectAxioms dump in verification/RECORDED-RUN.md).
AUDIT GATE (both reviewers, the critical one)
- Retire the bash #print-axioms text parser (fail-open on empty/truncated
reports, and only a SUBSET check). Replace with verification/Proofs/Audit.lean:
reads each certificate's cone from the kernel via collectAxioms and asserts
EXACT set equality against its expected boundary. Extra axiom, dropped
oracle, renamed/deleted cert, or an axiom/opaque sham each throw -> non-zero
Lean exit. No text to misparse; nothing fails open. check.sh Phase 3 now just
compiles it (and still requires the explicit PASSED line).
- check-selftest.sh rewritten to attack the new gate: dead-file, smuggled extra
axiom (named), dropped-oracle (subset would pass, exact must not), and a
vanished certificate (the collectAxioms-returns-[] trap). All four rejected.
REPRODUCIBILITY (GPT B1.4 / B1.5)
- extract.sh refuses a wrong-commit or dirty source tree (fail-closed), takes
an optional source-path arg, and pins the source commit.
- verification/PROVENANCE.json: single machine-readable pin set (source +
charon + aeneas commits/channel + lean + ocaml) with generated-file sha256.
- Re-running extract.sh reproduces gen/SlhVerify/{Types,Funs}.lean
byte-identically (companion fips205-source commit adds Cargo.lock +
rust-toolchain.toml; verified not to perturb the model).
DOC HONESTY (both reviewers)
- README: fix the self-contradiction (apex "not yet proven" trailer vs the
proven apex), the false "oracles kept OUTSIDE every cone" (they are INSIDE,
by design), "deployed monomorphic path" and "semantics-identical for every
parameter set" overclaims, "only two lines changed", stale snapshot head;
retitle the stale future-tense "what will be claimed" section.
- TRUSTED-BASE: drop "nothing proven yet"; add base_2b-inner and deployment-
bridge non-claims explicitly; current pin.
- ChainSpec header: "deployed monomorphic path" -> private verify_mono facade
(comment only).

review round 4: bind the cert set, statements, and model bytes (F1/F2/F3)
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-2 in-Lean exact-cone audit,
though sound for LISTED certs, left three fail-opens OUTSIDE the cone check —
and made check.sh print ALL GREEN over a repo proving False. All closed; no
theorem, proof, or fold changed (the 11 cones are unchanged).
F1 — the audited SET was unbound. Audit.lean now (a) enumerates EVERY theorem
defined in the eight certificate modules and requires each cone ⊆ boundary, so
an un-manifested `theorem _ : False := cheat _` fails regardless of naming
(this is the exact exploit the reviewer used); and (b) prints a MANIFEST
fingerprint over the whole committed manifest, which check.sh binds to — so
deleting/swapping a cert row fails outside Lean too.
F2 — only cones were bound, not statements. Each cert now also carries the
structural fingerprint (Expr.hash) of its elaborated type; a statement gutted
to a tautology of the same cone changes the fingerprint and fails.
F3 — the gen/ model bytes were unbound. New check.sh Phase 0 sha256-pins all
four gen/SlhVerify/*.lean (incl. the two hand-maintained *External files, now
hashed in PROVENANCE.json) BEFORE compiling; a hand-edited model fails first.
F4/F5 — docs. README cone diagram now roots honestly at slh_verify_internal
and states the pure/prehash domain-separator byte, the ctx>255 check, M'
assembly, and deserialization are ABOVE the root and uncovered (new
TRUSTED-BASE item 10). The false "rules out a wrong ADRS field" claim is
corrected in README + ChainSpec (a transliteration makes the field visible,
not excluded).
check-selftest.sh: eight attacks, all rejected (dead file; extra axiom;
dropped oracle; vanished cert; un-manifested False theorem; gutted statement;
hand-edited model; deleted manifest row). Full transcript + green check.sh in
verification/RECORDED-RUN.md.
Standing limit unchanged and disclosed: an audit cannot defend against an
author who edits the manifest AND check.sh AND the proofs together; the
consumer defense is the pinned commit reviewed at the pin.

review round 5: bind the policy, the specification bodies, and the harness
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-4 gate was closed at the
EXPLOITS, not the MECHANISMS: it bound the manifest rows while the things he
moved sat outside the binding. Three fail-opens, each executed end-to-end with
the button printing ALL GREEN. No theorem, proof, fold, or model body changed.
NEW-1 — the policy constant was unbound. `manifestFingerprint` covered
`manifest` but never `allowedBoundary`, the sole predicate the enumeration
tests against; adding one name re-opened the False-proof with the committed
fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL.
NEW-2 — the specification bodies were unbound. The statement fingerprint pinned
each certificate's TYPE, which names its reference fold; redefining that fold to
*be* the extracted loop left cone and type-hash identical while the certificate
degenerated to `loop = loop`. 100% of the fidelity content lives in those defs.
NEW-3 — the harness was unbound. Stubbing verification/lean-guard alone, without
touching check.sh or the proofs, gave ALL GREEN in 3.6s over destroyed proofs.
FIX — one mechanism rather than three patches. Audit.lean now emits a canonical
AUDIT-MANIFEST block and check.sh binds to its SHA-256. The block covers the
POLICY constants, every certificate's fully-elaborated statement, and every
specification constant transitively reachable from those statements with its
fully-elaborated BODY (41 constants; the closure is computed, so a new fold
cannot appear without moving the digest; Prop-valued constants contribute their
statement, by proof irrelevance). This also retires the 32-bit Expr.hash as the
binding (NEW-5) — it survives only as a per-certificate diagnostic.
Enumeration now covers EVERY declaration kind (a `def : False` passed before)
in the eight certificate modules AND in Audit.lean itself — the auditor is no
longer exempt (round-5 R1). A bare `axiom` in audited scope is now an error.
Phase 0 purges stale .olean (the verdict must depend on committed bytes, not
.gitignored build state — NEW-4), forbids any .lean outside gen/ and Proofs/,
and sha256-pins the four model files AND lean-guard. lean-guard is KEPT rather
than removed (the reviewer's portability advice is declined by operator
decision): it is the memory cap and machine-wide lock that protect the build
machine after a 12.2GB OOM took the host down. That trade-off is documented.
check.sh's "Certificates proven:" line now comes from the audited manifest; the
hand-kept CERTS array — the one authoritative claim string nothing bound — is
deleted.
check-selftest.sh: 14 attacks, all rejected, plus a check that the hashed block
literally carries the twelve fold bodies. Attacks 9-14 are the reviewers' and an
independent drill's own exploits, turned into regression tests.
DOCS. TRUSTED-BASE gains item 11 (the REAL trusted computing base — lean-guard
pinned; check.sh, the toolchain env, $AENEAS_HOME, python3 and Lean still
trusted) and item 12 (the apex does not compose the ten). README: the audit
description rewritten; the XMSS sibling-order claim downgraded from "pins" to
"makes visible", with a new blanket non-claim covering all ten loop
certificates; the de-plumbing file claim corrected (round 1 touched only
verify_mono.rs, round 2 only helpers.rs — which is ON the deployed verify AND
sign paths, now disclosed; wots.rs was never patched).
RECORDED-RUN: three lines that stood inside a fence were a hand-written summary,
not console output — fabricated evidence in the file whose purpose is machine
evidence. They are removed and the fabrication is named in place, together with
the correction that the "INDEPENDENT RUN" block predates this gate. New rule:
nothing goes in a fence unless captured with tee/cat, and every block states its
date, pin, and who ran it. The transcripts added here follow it.
Also disclosed rather than buried: three bugs in my own test harness this round
(an olean-purge build-order break, an attack rejected by the wrong rule, and a
coverage assertion looking on the wrong line) — each would have let an attack
pass or fail for an unrelated reason.

defined in the eight certificate modules and requires each cone ⊆ boundary, so
an un-manifested `theorem _ : False := cheat _` fails regardless of naming
(this is the exact exploit the reviewer used); and (b) prints a MANIFEST
fingerprint over the whole committed manifest, which check.sh binds to — so
deleting/swapping a cert row fails outside Lean too.
F2 — only cones were bound, not statements. Each cert now also carries the
structural fingerprint (Expr.hash) of its elaborated type; a statement gutted
to a tautology of the same cone changes the fingerprint and fails.
F3 — the gen/ model bytes were unbound. New check.sh Phase 0 sha256-pins all
four gen/SlhVerify/*.lean (incl. the two hand-maintained *External files, now
hashed in PROVENANCE.json) BEFORE compiling; a hand-edited model fails first.
F4/F5 — docs. README cone diagram now roots honestly at slh_verify_internal
and states the pure/prehash domain-separator byte, the ctx>255 check, M'
assembly, and deserialization are ABOVE the root and uncovered (new
TRUSTED-BASE item 10). The false "rules out a wrong ADRS field" claim is
corrected in README + ChainSpec (a transliteration makes the field visible,
not excluded).
check-selftest.sh: eight attacks, all rejected (dead file; extra axiom;
dropped oracle; vanished cert; un-manifested False theorem; gutted statement;
hand-edited model; deleted manifest row). Full transcript + green check.sh in
verification/RECORDED-RUN.md.
Standing limit unchanged and disclosed: an audit cannot defend against an
author who edits the manifest AND check.sh AND the proofs together; the
consumer defense is the pinned commit reviewed at the pin.

review round 5: bind the policy, the specification bodies, and the harness
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-4 gate was closed at the
EXPLOITS, not the MECHANISMS: it bound the manifest rows while the things he
moved sat outside the binding. Three fail-opens, each executed end-to-end with
the button printing ALL GREEN. No theorem, proof, fold, or model body changed.
NEW-1 — the policy constant was unbound. `manifestFingerprint` covered
`manifest` but never `allowedBoundary`, the sole predicate the enumeration
tests against; adding one name re-opened the False-proof with the committed
fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL.
NEW-2 — the specification bodies were unbound. The statement fingerprint pinned
each certificate's TYPE, which names its reference fold; redefining that fold to
*be* the extracted loop left cone and type-hash identical while the certificate
degenerated to `loop = loop`. 100% of the fidelity content lives in those defs.
NEW-3 — the harness was unbound. Stubbing verification/lean-guard alone, without
touching check.sh or the proofs, gave ALL GREEN in 3.6s over destroyed proofs.
FIX — one mechanism rather than three patches. Audit.lean now emits a canonical
AUDIT-MANIFEST block and check.sh binds to its SHA-256. The block covers the
POLICY constants, every certificate's fully-elaborated statement, and every
specification constant transitively reachable from those statements with its
fully-elaborated BODY (41 constants; the closure is computed, so a new fold
cannot appear without moving the digest; Prop-valued constants contribute their
statement, by proof irrelevance). This also retires the 32-bit Expr.hash as the
binding (NEW-5) — it survives only as a per-certificate diagnostic.
Enumeration now covers EVERY declaration kind (a `def : False` passed before)
in the eight certificate modules AND in Audit.lean itself — the auditor is no
longer exempt (round-5 R1). A bare `axiom` in audited scope is now an error.
Phase 0 purges stale .olean (the verdict must depend on committed bytes, not
.gitignored build state — NEW-4), forbids any .lean outside gen/ and Proofs/,
and sha256-pins the four model files AND lean-guard. lean-guard is KEPT rather
than removed (the reviewer's portability advice is declined by operator
decision): it is the memory cap and machine-wide lock that protect the build
machine after a 12.2GB OOM took the host down. That trade-off is documented.
check.sh's "Certificates proven:" line now comes from the audited manifest; the
hand-kept CERTS array — the one authoritative claim string nothing bound — is
deleted.
check-selftest.sh: 14 attacks, all rejected, plus a check that the hashed block
literally carries the twelve fold bodies. Attacks 9-14 are the reviewers' and an
independent drill's own exploits, turned into regression tests.
DOCS. TRUSTED-BASE gains item 11 (the REAL trusted computing base — lean-guard
pinned; check.sh, the toolchain env, $AENEAS_HOME, python3 and Lean still
trusted) and item 12 (the apex does not compose the ten). README: the audit
description rewritten; the XMSS sibling-order claim downgraded from "pins" to
"makes visible", with a new blanket non-claim covering all ten loop
certificates; the de-plumbing file claim corrected (round 1 touched only
verify_mono.rs, round 2 only helpers.rs — which is ON the deployed verify AND
sign paths, now disclosed; wots.rs was never patched).
RECORDED-RUN: three lines that stood inside a fence were a hand-written summary,
not console output — fabricated evidence in the file whose purpose is machine
evidence. They are removed and the fabrication is named in place, together with
the correction that the "INDEPENDENT RUN" block predates this gate. New rule:
nothing goes in a fence unless captured with tee/cat, and every block states its
date, pin, and who ran it. The transcripts added here follow it.
Also disclosed rather than buried: three bugs in my own test harness this round
(an olean-purge build-order break, an attack rejected by the wrong rule, and a
coverage assertion looking on the wrong line) — each would have let an attack
pass or fail for an unrelated reason.

review round 6: pin the auditor, purge every olean, pin gen/ as a set
Round 6 confirmed the digest redesign closed NEW-1/NEW-2/NEW-5 at the mechanism
("the first time in three rounds I have not been able to gut a certificate"),
then demonstrated two more ways to reach ALL GREEN with the committed digest
BYTE-IDENTICAL over a repository proving False. Both are fixed.
NEW-7 — the digest bound the audit's DATA, never its LOGIC. Flipping the two
fail-closed guards in Proofs/Audit.lean to `unless true` disabled every in-Lean
check; the block's inputs genuinely had not changed, so the digest still
matched. Total attacker diff: 2 files, 6 insertions. Worse, TRUSTED-BASE item 11
listed the trusted-unbound set and did NOT mention Audit.lean, so a reviewer
using it as a map of what to read by hand would have skipped the file that
computes the number it is judged by.
FIX: Proofs/Audit.lean is now sha256-pinned in harness_integrity_sha256,
symmetric with lean-guard, and item 11 says so — including the honest residue:
an author who edits the logic AND rotates its pin is caught only by reading the
diff at the pin.
NEW-8 — Phase 0's purge covered gen/ and Proofs/ while the stray check greped
only *.lean, so an ORPHAN verification/Evil.olean whose source had been DELETED
fell between them, satisfied an import, and was invisible to git status
(*.olean is gitignored).
FIX: purge every .olean under verification/, and forbid stray .lean AND .olean.
NEW-9 (partial) — gen/ was pinned by four NAMES, not as a SET, so a new file
there was neither hashed nor forbidden while LEAN_PATH contains $PWD/gen.
FIX: Phase 0 asserts the gen/*.lean file set equals the pin map exactly. This
found a real gap on its first run: Aeneas emits *_Template.lean scaffolding into
gen/ on every extraction — untracked byproducts (a fresh clone has only the four
pinned files) that nothing imports but that sat on LEAN_PATH unpinned. They are
now purged as byproducts before the set assertion.
Also, from the reviewer's §3 suggestion: the canonical block is now COMMITTED as
verification/AUDIT-MANIFEST.txt, so a digest mismatch prints a real diff instead
of writing an observed file with nothing to compare against; check.sh also fails
if the committed copy drifts from what Lean emits.
check-selftest.sh: 16 attacks, all rejected, plus the coverage check. Attacks 16
and 17 are the reviewer's two demonstrations. Attacks that mutate the audit's
DATA now re-pin Audit.lean first, so they still test the digest/enumeration
rather than being stopped by the byte pin; attack 17 deliberately does not
re-pin, because the pin is what it tests.
Housekeeping: PROVENANCE.json trailing newline restored (NEW-12).
Disclosed rather than buried: two more of my own assertion bugs this round —
attack 16 asserted the hygiene message when the correct rejection is the purge
plus a failed import, and the earlier gen/ set check surfaced the template files
only because it was written strictly. Both are the wrong-diagnostic class.

review round 2: in-Lean exact-cone audit + reproducibility + doc honesty
Addresses the round-2 reviewer punch-list. No theorem statement, proof term,
or fold definition changed; the eleven cones are unchanged (independent
collectAxioms dump in verification/RECORDED-RUN.md).
AUDIT GATE (both reviewers, the critical one)
- Retire the bash #print-axioms text parser (fail-open on empty/truncated
reports, and only a SUBSET check). Replace with verification/Proofs/Audit.lean:
reads each certificate's cone from the kernel via collectAxioms and asserts
EXACT set equality against its expected boundary. Extra axiom, dropped
oracle, renamed/deleted cert, or an axiom/opaque sham each throw -> non-zero
Lean exit. No text to misparse; nothing fails open. check.sh Phase 3 now just
compiles it (and still requires the explicit PASSED line).
- check-selftest.sh rewritten to attack the new gate: dead-file, smuggled extra
axiom (named), dropped-oracle (subset would pass, exact must not), and a
vanished certificate (the collectAxioms-returns-[] trap). All four rejected.
REPRODUCIBILITY (GPT B1.4 / B1.5)
- extract.sh refuses a wrong-commit or dirty source tree (fail-closed), takes
an optional source-path arg, and pins the source commit.
- verification/PROVENANCE.json: single machine-readable pin set (source +
charon + aeneas commits/channel + lean + ocaml) with generated-file sha256.
- Re-running extract.sh reproduces gen/SlhVerify/{Types,Funs}.lean
byte-identically (companion fips205-source commit adds Cargo.lock +
rust-toolchain.toml; verified not to perturb the model).
DOC HONESTY (both reviewers)
- README: fix the self-contradiction (apex "not yet proven" trailer vs the
proven apex), the false "oracles kept OUTSIDE every cone" (they are INSIDE,
by design), "deployed monomorphic path" and "semantics-identical for every
parameter set" overclaims, "only two lines changed", stale snapshot head;
retitle the stale future-tense "what will be claimed" section.
- TRUSTED-BASE: drop "nothing proven yet"; add base_2b-inner and deployment-
bridge non-claims explicitly; current pin.
- ChainSpec header: "deployed monomorphic path" -> private verify_mono facade
(comment only).

review round 5: bind the policy, the specification bodies, and the harness
The third reviewer demonstrated that the round-4 gate was closed at the
EXPLOITS, not the MECHANISMS: it bound the manifest rows while the things he
moved sat outside the binding. Three fail-opens, each executed end-to-end with
the button printing ALL GREEN. No theorem, proof, fold, or model body changed.
NEW-1 — the policy constant was unbound. `manifestFingerprint` covered
`manifest` but never `allowedBoundary`, the sole predicate the enumeration
tests against; adding one name re-opened the False-proof with the committed
fingerprint BYTE-IDENTICAL.
NEW-2 — the specification bodies were unbound. The statement fingerprint pinned
each certificate's TYPE, which names its reference fold; redefining that fold to
*be* the extracted loop left cone and type-hash identical while the certificate
degenerated to `loop = loop`. 100% of the fidelity content lives in those defs.
NEW-3 — the harness was unbound. Stubbing verification/lean-guard alone, without
touching check.sh or the proofs, gave ALL GREEN in 3.6s over destroyed proofs.
FIX — one mechanism rather than three patches. Audit.lean now emits a canonical
AUDIT-MANIFEST block and check.sh binds to its SHA-256. The block covers the
POLICY constants, every certificate's fully-elaborated statement, and every
specification constant transitively reachable from those statements with its
fully-elaborated BODY (41 constants; the closure is computed, so a new fold
cannot appear without moving the digest; Prop-valued constants contribute their
statement, by proof irrelevance). This also retires the 32-bit Expr.hash as the
binding (NEW-5) — it survives only as a per-certificate diagnostic.
Enumeration now covers EVERY declaration kind (a `def : False` passed before)
in the eight certificate modules AND in Audit.lean itself — the auditor is no
longer exempt (round-5 R1). A bare `axiom` in audited scope is now an error.
Phase 0 purges stale .olean (the verdict must depend on committed bytes, not
.gitignored build state — NEW-4), forbids any .lean outside gen/ and Proofs/,
and sha256-pins the four model files AND lean-guard. lean-guard is KEPT rather
than removed (the reviewer's portability advice is declined by operator
decision): it is the memory cap and machine-wide lock that protect the build
machine after a 12.2GB OOM took the host down. That trade-off is documented.
check.sh's "Certificates proven:" line now comes from the audited manifest; the
hand-kept CERTS array — the one authoritative claim string nothing bound — is
deleted.
check-selftest.sh: 14 attacks, all rejected, plus a check that the hashed block
literally carries the twelve fold bodies. Attacks 9-14 are the reviewers' and an
independent drill's own exploits, turned into regression tests.
DOCS. TRUSTED-BASE gains item 11 (the REAL trusted computing base — lean-guard
pinned; check.sh, the toolchain env, $AENEAS_HOME, python3 and Lean still
trusted) and item 12 (the apex does not compose the ten). README: the audit
description rewritten; the XMSS sibling-order claim downgraded from "pins" to
"makes visible", with a new blanket non-claim covering all ten loop
certificates; the de-plumbing file claim corrected (round 1 touched only
verify_mono.rs, round 2 only helpers.rs — which is ON the deployed verify AND
sign paths, now disclosed; wots.rs was never patched).
RECORDED-RUN: three lines that stood inside a fence were a hand-written summary,
not console output — fabricated evidence in the file whose purpose is machine
evidence. They are removed and the fabrication is named in place, together with
the correction that the "INDEPENDENT RUN" block predates this gate. New rule:
nothing goes in a fence unless captured with tee/cat, and every block states its
date, pin, and who ran it. The transcripts added here follow it.
Also disclosed rather than buried: three bugs in my own test harness this round
(an olean-purge build-order break, an attack rejected by the wrong rule, and a
coverage assertion looking on the wrong line) — each would have let an attack
pass or fail for an unrelated reason.
