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
orphaned TryFromIntError type axiom removed from TypesExternal. The
model's external surface is now: 5 SHA-2 oracles (the boundary), the
Take iterator machinery used only by helpers::to_int (apex round's
de-plumbing item), 3 zeroize blanket impls (never on the verify path),
and the discharged-real u32 Step defs.
- check.sh: PROOFS += HtSpec, CERTS += fips205.ht_loop_eq, audit import
(self-test structure anchors untouched). README: four certificates +
the de-plumbing record.
Fidelity review at authorship (three-way): extracted body == Rust
ht_verify_free (verbatim from upstream hypertree.rs, calls -> *_free) ==
FIPS 205 Algorithm 12, incl. mask-then-shift order and layer-then-tree
address order.

The verify cone iterates u32 ranges (for j in i..i+s). Aeneas.Std ships
a real Step instance only for usize (StepUsize), so u32 ranges extracted
as three opaque axioms (forward_checked / backward_checked /
steps_between) — which would poison every loop-bearing cone, i.e. chain
and everything above it.
Discharged in the hand-written external file (H4-sanctioned) with
FAITHFUL real definitions mirroring Rust's impl Step for u32
(core/src/iter/range.rs) and Aeneas.Std's StepUsize: forward/backward via
u32::try_from(n)-then-checked_{add,sub}, steps_between = saturating
difference. Verified in isolation (axiom-clean) and in place:
#print axioms on the u32 Step instance now reports exactly
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]. Model still compiles.
These are ordinary loop control, NOT the deployed hash boundary — the
five oracle axioms remain the only cryptographic externals.

The gate-0 fn-pointer blocker is cleared. This commits the phase-1
deliverable:
- verification/extract.sh: re-pointed at the monomorphic root
crate::verify_mono::slh_verify_128s with crate::verify_mono::oracle as
the opaque SHA-2 boundary (against fips205-source @ 2d89ee3).
- verification/gen/SlhVerify: the extracted Lean model — 62 defs, the
full verify cone (chain -> wots -> xmss -> ht -> fors ->
slh_verify_internal) up to the apex verify_mono.slh_verify_128s. No
sorry, no admit.
- verification/gen/SlhVerify/FunsExternal.lean + TypesExternal.lean:
hand-maintained externals with the two-class justification header —
(1) the five SHA-2 hash oracles = the deliberate cryptographic
boundary (the only axioms the apex certificate will carry beyond
Lean's three); (2) transpiler plumbing (try_from, is_err, iterator
Step/Take, zeroize) adopted as axioms for the phase-1 type-check, to
be discharged in the proof phase.
- verification/check.sh: real Phase-1 button — compiles the model under
lean-guard (memory-capped, serialized). GREEN. Still says NOTHING
PROVEN: a well-formed model is not a correct one.
Zero certificates. Proof layers (chain semantics -> ... -> acceptance
equation) are the next task.
