6212aa1624 Round-7 F2: account for every constant the kernel sees
THE DEFECT, demonstrated by a reviewer with a working payload. The driver
surface is reported by an `#eval` inside Proofs/Inventory.lean. Anything
declared AFTER that command is in the compiled object file but does not exist
in the environment while the command runs, so the walk cannot see it. The
reviewer appended

    def bait : Nat := 0
    theorem bait.smuggled : forall n : Nat, n + 0 = n := ...

re-pinned, and ran the button. It printed "no axiom, no claim", the statement
digest was BYTE-IDENTICAL to the clean tree, and the run went green — while a
theorem with a real axiom cone sat in the environment. In neither walk: not
corpus, because an instrument is not corpus; not driver surface, because it
post-dates the emitter. In no allowlist. Pinned by nothing.

This repository also had no kernel-side scan at all. Its axiom gate was a
source-text grep, evadable by a leading space — which its own selftest case 12
already exploited.

THE FIX, ported from the ed25519 forks:

  · a kernel-side axiom-declaration gate that reads every compiled .olean via
    readModuleData. It sees what was actually stored, regardless of
    indentation, attributes, privacy, or where a declaration sits relative to
    any #eval. Membership self-derives from the manifest and the module count
    must match, so a deleted artifact cannot make the scan vacuous.
  · the ACCOUNTING IDENTITY, as set containment:

        every constant the kernel sees  in  corpus inventory  union  instrument surface

    The two walks read ENVIRONMENTS; the gate reads OBJECT FILES. What a walk
    cannot see because of where it sits in a file, the object file still holds.
    That asymmetry is the entire content of this fix.

    Compared as SETS deliberately. Counts cannot express the relation — an
    object file may hold two physical copies of one lazily-materialised
    equation lemma while an environment holds one constant per name — and
    arithmetic between those views misled the ed25519 version twice before it
    was stated as containment.

PLACEMENT differs from the forks, for a reason worth recording: there the
audit drivers are members of the compile manifest, so a gate beside the
compile phase finds them. Here AxiomCheck is compiled by Phase 3 and Inventory
by Phase 3b, so an earlier gate fails on a missing artifact — which it did,
correctly, on the first port. It runs inside Phase 3b, because the instruments
are exactly what it must see.

VERIFIED with the reviewer's own payload, which previously went green:

    ACCOUNTING FAILED: the kernel holds constants that neither walk accounts for:
      bait
      bait.smuggled

selftest_audit.sh: 14 attack cases -> 15. Note in the new case, because it
cost two iterations: `theorem bait.smuggled : True := trivial` does NOT
exercise this gate — Phase 1's stub audit greps for `: True :=` and catches it
first. Real defence in depth, but the naive payload never reaches the gate
under test, so the case uses the reviewer's original.

Two residues fixed while adding it, both the same shape: a case that was last
when written, leaving state the next case inherits. Case 13 restored
AxiomCheck.lean but not its pin; case 9 left its rogue gen file. Fixed at the
point of use so each case keeps testing what it tested before.

Button green (234 declarations across 11 modules, all accounted for),
15/15 self-test green, ATTESTATION GREEN with fidelity.

25699a9cf7 Phase 0a: purge compiled artifacts before compiling
P0-a was applied to the four ed25519 repositories on 2026-07-30 and never
here. Found by the control repo's capability matrix, which asks the property
rather than looking for a phase by name.

The finding that made it matter there applies verbatim: a verification that
never cleans up cannot distinguish "these proofs check" from "these proofs
check GIVEN WHATEVER IS LYING AROUND". Compiled artifacts are gitignored, so
no `git status` can show a reader that a verdict rested on an object from an
earlier run of a different script.

This repository has no --audit-only mode, so the purge is unconditional.
Button green (80s) and the 14-case self-test green after the change.

9c78ce88ae P2-b: close classes 9 and 15 — the instruments, and the places nothing looked
CLASS 15 — a Lean file where no phase was looking. The dead-file scan read
Proofs/*.lean and gen/LTLAcc/*.lean and nothing else. A module at the
verification root, or under any other gen/ subdirectory, was neither
compiled nor rejected — while remaining importable by name, since LEAN_PATH
contains both roots. That is a source of the corpus that no phase reads and
no pin covers, which is exactly what the dead-file gate exists to forbid; it
was simply looking in two places instead of everywhere. Now nothing may live
in either root but the two enumerated sets.

CLASS 9 — the instruments' own declaration surface. AxiomCheck.lean and
Inventory.lean perform the audit and are therefore not corpus, so nothing
inventoried what THEY declare. Inventory.lean now walks both: AxiomCheck by
module index, and itself as the module still being elaborated, whose
declarations are the ones the environment reports with no originating
module. That is what makes the inventory cover the instrument that produces
it rather than exempting itself.

The policy is not "declare nothing" — this file legitimately declares its
machinery. It is that an instrument may declare only inert definitions. An
axiom here would widen the trusted base without appearing in any
certificate's cone; a theorem here would be a claim no certificate covers
and no allowlist pins. A flat ban on theorems was WRONG and was measured to
be wrong: defining a function by well-founded recursion makes the elaborator
emit its own obligations, and axiomCone._proof_1 rejected this very file.
The distinction that holds is whether a theorem is a claim someone wrote or
an artefact of a definition declared alongside it — an artefact's name
extends the name of a constant declared with it.

Observed surface: 18 declarations, 16 def and 2 generated obligations, no
axiom, no standalone claim.

The drivers are byte-pinned already, so this does not pin WHICH definitions
they contain — that would add a thing to maintain without adding a thing to
catch. It adds the property byte-pinning cannot give: that no instrument
declares an axiom or a claim, whatever its bytes are.

selftest_audit.sh: 10 cases -> 14. Case 12 uses an INDENTED axiom, because
Phase 1's source grep catches an unindented one and the point is to reach
the kernel-side walk standing behind it.

TWO DEFECTS IN THE TEST HARNESS, found while adding the cases.

· The scratch tree copied verification/ only, but the button also reads
  README.md and STATEMENT-MAP.md from the repository root. check.sh
  therefore ALWAYS died in Phase 3c in the scratch tree, which made every
  `if check.sh; then <attack not caught>` guard unfirable — check.sh could
  not pass in there even with no attack at all. Only the diagnostic greps
  were doing any work. The documents are now copied, and the negative test
  below proves the guard is live: with the driver-surface check disabled,
  check.sh PASSES a tree whose inventory driver declares
  `axiom driver_cheat : False`.
· Case 9 was the last case when it was written and left its rogue gen file
  in place. Harmless then; the new cases inherited it. Cleaned up between
  the blocks rather than inside case 9, so that case still tests what it did.

Also fixed while here: Phase 3b compared the compile manifest against
Inventory.lean by grepping the WHOLE FILE for a backticked module name, so
prose counted — a doc comment naming a module broke the count, and in the
other direction a doc mention of a module missing from the array would have
satisfied the presence check and hidden the omission. It now reads the
arrays.

Both new gates negative-tested by removal. Button green, self-test green.

8530cc73f4 verification: pin the harness, audit drivers and policy files (P1-c)
This repository has the estate's strongest gates, which makes them the most
valuable to switch off. Until now every one of them was executed by scripts
that nothing pinned.

Phase 0c requires every harness file to match HARNESS.sha256 — 15 files:
check.sh, lean-guard, inventory_gate.sh, run_bare.sh, all three self-tests,
both audit drivers (Proofs/Inventory.lean, Proofs/AxiomCheck.lean), the policy
tables (inventory-allowlist.txt, AUDIT-MANIFEST.txt), the toolchain pin, the
fidelity harness and its Python transcription, and the extracted model.

WHICH files must be pinned is policy and lives in check.sh, never in the map
being consulted: the required set is derived from the filesystem (the
executable bit, plus gen/**.lean, plus an explicit list for the rest), so
deleting a pin entry is a set mismatch rather than a silent un-pinning.

gen/LTLAcc/HashExternal.lean was previously bound by nothing at all — it was
compiled and trusted. It is now pinned, and the derivation is by set, so a new
model file fails closed.

selftest_audit.sh case 9 is split rather than relabelled. Phase 0c now catches
an unpinned rogue gen module BEFORE the dead-file gate runs, so asserting only
the new diagnostic would have quietly retired the dead-file gate from the test
suite. 9a asserts the harness-set mismatch on the unpinned file; 9b pins it —
an author who added it deliberately — and asserts Phase 2 still dies with DEAD
FILE (gen). Ten cases now, all defeated.

KNOWN-GAPS and the trusted base record the circularity plainly: an author who
edits a script and refreshes its pin in one commit passes every phase. The pin
removes the silent path, not the possibility. Review at the pinned commit
remains the consumer's protection.

Verified green after the fix: button (75s), harness self-test, binding
self-test, and the ten-case audit self-test. ATTESTATION GREEN (Lean +
fidelity), all fidelity case counts identical to the pre-change run.
