b1fb6eba7c accumulator: a run that is not attestation-ready must not exit 0, and must name its subject
Two round-7/8 findings, both closed here.

`acc-exit0-fidelity` — CRITICAL, raised INDEPENDENTLY by both reviewers
(Claude F1, GPT-5.6 F10) and lost from the round-8 work list by the F-number
collision the finding register now prevents.

check.sh emitted a careful pair of markers — ATTESTATION GREEN only when
fidelity actually ran — and then returned 0 either way. The marker discipline
was right; the exit code contradicted it. A caller doing the obvious thing

    ./check.sh && append

read success from a run whose own last line said NOT attestation-ready. And
because pacta is not part of this estate, the skip branch is the ONLY branch a
third party ever takes: for everyone but the author the button always returned
0 without ever checking definition fidelity. Reproduced here before fixing —
PACTA_SRC=/nonexistent ./check.sh printed "FIDELITY NOT RUN" and exited 0.

An exit code is what programs read. The contract is now:

    fidelity ran     exit 0   ATTESTATION GREEN
    SKIP_FIDELITY=1  exit 3   explicit opt-out, distinguishable, not success
    pacta absent     exit 1   nobody opted out; a real failure to establish
                              the property the button exists for

All three verified. The self-tests are unaffected: every SKIP_FIDELITY case
already expected a non-zero exit and asserts on a diagnostic from an earlier
phase, and the control compiles modules directly rather than invoking check.sh.
29 assertions across the three self-tests, all green.

`pacta-subject-unpinned` — HIGH, GPT-5.6 round 8.

Phase 4 compared this repository's Lean definitions against "the deployed
verifier" by importing whatever sat at $PACTA_SRC — no repository, no commit,
no clean state, no hashes. It pinned the fidelity OUTPUTS while leaving the
SUBJECT anonymous, so any program producing the same finite family of answers
passed, and the recorded result named no version of the thing it agreed with.

fidelity/pacta_pin.py pins the transitive set of pacta modules the harness
ACTUALLY LOADS — discovered by importing its entry point and reading
sys.modules, a membership property rather than a directory glob. A glob would
pin files the comparison never touches and miss anything loaded from elsewhere;
this estate has been bitten by name-shaped measurement before. Five modules at
pacta cd3b1bc — the same checkout the reviewer independently recorded.

Negative-tested, all three rejected by name: tampered bytes, a module loaded
but absent from the pin, and the pin file deleted. Refusing to pin a dirty
pacta tree is also enforced — a pin taken over uncommitted edits names a
subject nobody else can obtain.

PACTA-PIN.sha256 joins HARNESS_EXTRA. It is not executable, so it would
otherwise have sat outside the harness set, and a subject pin an attacker may
rewrite pins nothing — the same shape as the forgeable .audit-basis that
remains open as `auditonly-basis-forgeable`.

This does not widen the claim: byte identity of a source tree is not proof the
deployed service runs it, and finite-family agreement is not extensional
equality. It names the subject.

b575e857e3 verification: bind statements and specification bodies (P1-a); un-stale the fidelity pin
STATEMENT BINDING (Phase 3d). The coverage gate pins every constant's name,
kind and axiom cone, both directions, and none of selftest_audit.sh's nine
attacks defeat it. It is nevertheless blind to what a declaration SAYS — and
that is demonstrated here rather than argued:

  Wrapping one branch of `LTLAcc.pinAccept`'s body in `id (…)` is
  definitionally equal. Every downstream proof still compiles. The name, the
  kind, the type and the axiom cone are unchanged. The inventory gate reports
  "222 constants, environment == allowlist" — GREEN.

That edit is harmless by construction; the point is that nothing stood between
it and a genuinely vacuous redefinition of a specification. Proofs/Inventory.lean
now also emits, for every inventoried constant, its fully-elaborated TYPE, and
for every definition its fully-elaborated BODY — 266 lines over 222 constants.
Proof terms are deliberately absent: by proof irrelevance a theorem's content
is its statement. check.sh Phase 3d binds the SHA-256 and the block is
committed as AUDIT-MANIFEST.txt so a mismatch is DIFFED, not merely reported.

The existing gate is untouched, per the standing rule that the port flows FROM
this repo, not to it: INV lines are byte-identical, inventory_gate.sh is
unchanged, and all nine of its attacks still fail as before.

selftest_statements.sh replays the defeq edit as case 1, asserting BOTH that
the coverage gate passes it and that Phase 3d catches it — so if the coverage
gate ever grows to see this, the test says so instead of quietly re-labelling.
Cases 2-4 cover a hand-edited committed block, a truncated block, and a
constant inventoried without a statement.

FIDELITY PIN (unrelated, found while running the button). Phase 4 had been
failing since 2026-07-23: LIED_PIN_DIV expected 3,867 divergences between the
Lean model and the deployed consistency verifier, and observed 0. Cause is
pacta ddbb5a4, which restored the RFC 9162 2.1.4.2 Step-7 terminal `sn == 0`
condition; that one conjunct removes every divergence in the pinned
73,573-case family. KNOWN-GAPS gap 14 already recorded the closure on the day
it landed — only this constant was stale, so the button had been red for five
days with nobody running it. The pin now reads 0 with the history in a comment.
Nothing about the paper, public log entry 13, or the attested commit 172a1d0
changes; the historical divergence stays reproducible at the tagged pre-fix
commit.

KNOWN-GAPS gap 16 records what the binding does not buy: identity, not
meaning; an author who edits and re-pins in one commit is caught by review and
not by the script; and proof terms are unbound by design.

Button green end to end: ATTESTATION GREEN (Lean + fidelity).

172a1d0653 Round 5 (housekeeping): doc-consistency welded into the button; both round-4 approvals recorded
Round-4 verdicts: Claude reviewer — nothing blocks the freeze, no
remaining findings; GPT-5.6 — approve after minor documentation fixes,
attestation scoped to the mechanized model. This round is those fixes;
no Lean surface changed.

- 218/59 → 222/61 everywhere, and STRUCTURALLY: check.sh Phase 3c
  asserts the audit counts (STATEMENT-MAP + README vs allowlist/CONES)
  and the four fidelity pins (STATEMENT-MAP vs run_fidelity.py
  constants) on every run — stale-count drift is a red button now
  (R4-1, third recurrence of the class).
- Gap 14 reworded to evidence-vs-inference (the invariant "is assumed",
  not "transfers"), witnesses cited (paper §5.3/§5.4; pacta
  sthstore.py/logclient.py — outside the fidelity target). New gap 15:
  deployment refinement invariant unmechanized (GPT's principal
  finding, split out because it carries the deployed-soundness claim).
- Runbook: A1 marked done (both approvals on SD); B2 gains the REQUIRED
  scoped attestation wording (GPT §11) as a gate condition — entry 13
  cannot claim "deployed verifier formally verified".
- run_bare.sh fail-closes on Lean version AND commit (rejection path
  tested with a fake toolchain: FATAL, exit 1).
- Harness: "consistency baseline family" line (GPT §8); gap 14 says
  "fixed offsets n−1/n+1/n+7" (R4-5).
- RESPONSE round 5, incl. refutation of GPT §7 (the target tarball
  demonstrably contains MANIFEST.sha256 + TARGET-PROVENANCE.md; the
  round-5 kit also ships both unpacked as a courtesy).

check.sh exit 0 ATTESTATION GREEN (Phases 0-4 incl. new 3c); selftest
exit 0, 9/9 + control. Live LTL untouched (12 leaves, bcd15f9d…).

2da0a79981 Review round 4: F1* absorbed (lied-size boundary), acceptCons_sound, kit reproducibility
Round-3 verdicts: GPT-5.6 conditionally approves (blockers closed, one
portability finding); the Claude reviewer's Socratic addendum produced
F1*, the strongest finding of the series — deployed verify_consistency
and mechanized ConsRec are NOT extensionally equal. Reproduced exactly
(witness verify_consistency(1,3,R2,R3,P(2→3))=True vs ConsRec reject;
3,405 divergences n<60; strictly one-sided; power-of-two seeding
mechanism confirmed in source).

- KNOWN-GAPS gap 14: witness, mechanism, one-sidedness, and the
  pinned-pair side condition under which Theorem 3 transfers to the
  deployed verifier (pacta's pin-store flow supplies it by
  construction). No pacta code change; deployed behavior matches
  upstream RFC 9162 implementations.
- fidelity: lied-size family — 73,573 boundary cases, 3,867 expected
  divergences PINNED, one-sided direction asserted per case. Banner
  rescoped: agreement over pinned families, not extensional equality.
- Theorem3.lean: acceptCons_sound (F2) — soundness over the named
  acceptCons predicate, n₀=0 discharged from the non-prefix premise,
  size bound derived from acceptance via new consRec_some_le. Cones
  read from #print axioms; CONES/AxiomCheck/allowlist updated
  (218 → 222 constants, diff = the two theorems + two generated
  auxiliaries).
- F3/GPT§7: verification/lean-toolchain pin + run_bare.sh (reviewer's
  standalone runner, plain public lean — verified green: 61 cones, 222
  constants, gate green) + AENEAS_ENV override in check.sh and
  selftest_audit.sh.
- F4: awk field-equality replaces regex-with-dots in Phase 3b.
- F5: git-tracked .pyc removed (worse than reported — it was in the
  repo, not just the kit); __pycache__ gitignored; round-4 kit ships a
  corpus MANIFEST.sha256 + pinned commit (also GPT's governance
  condition).

check.sh exit 0, ATTESTATION GREEN; selftest exit 0, 9/9 + control.
Live LTL untouched (12 leaves, bcd15f9d…); attestation still gated on
ePrint decision + author review + explicit operator order.

260ad64511 revision round 1: address both external reviews (GPT-5.6 + second Claude)
No theorem was wrong; every fix is spec-surface, audit-mechanism, docs,
or harness coverage. Changes:

LEAN (Claude F1, GPT M4):
- acceptIncl: the consumer's inclusion accept (m<n ∧ Root=some r) is now
  a named object, not just a theorem hypothesis. Root alone accepts
  out-of-range m; acceptIncl pins the guard.
- acceptIncl_complete / acceptIncl_sound: route Thm 1/2 through it.
- extractCons_correct_paper: Thm 3 at the paper's exact quantifiers
  (n₀≤n₁, no separate 0<n₀; n₀=0 discharged since D₀=[]=take 0).

SCRIPT (GPT H1/H2, Claude F3):
- Phase 3b: fail-closed audit-surface COVERAGE — every named decl under
  Proofs/ and gen/ must be in CONES or a documented EXCLUDE (sha256,
  Bytes); anonymous gen instances count-pinned; every CONES key must be
  queried by AxiomCheck (no pin-but-never-check). Tested: an
  unclassified theorem now makes the button exit 1.
- H2: distinct markers — LEAN GREEN always, ATTESTATION GREEN only when
  fidelity actually ran; SKIP/absent-pacta no longer emit the strong
  marker. Attestation gate keys on ATTESTATION GREEN.
- Phase 0: orphan-olean guard (every Proofs/*.olean needs a sibling
  .lean); deleted 6 orphans; untracked all *.olean/.lake from git and
  gitignored them (root cause of the F3 tarball leak).

HARNESS (Claude F1, GPT M3):
- added out-of-range families (m≥n, m>n, n₀>n₁, n₀=0); re-pinned counts
  230,271 / 230,016 (match the reviewer's independent RFC difftest
  exactly); narrowed 'exhaustive' wording to the tested domain.

DOCS: README stale rows fixed (freeze banner no longer contradicts
table); KNOWN-GAPS gap 3 reworded (general Lemma 2 = specializations),
+gaps 9 (cost), 10 (pin init), 11 (acceptIncl resolved); STATEMENT-MAP
+acceptIncl rows, +Lemma-2-general note, +constant-vs-property
clarification for §10(i).

Button: EXIT 0, coverage complete, ATTESTATION GREEN, 230,271/230,016.
56 pinned cones over an ENFORCED surface. LTL untouched (12, bcd15f9d).

00647814b8 S7: definition fidelity harness + CORRECT three cone mis-pins that were silently failing the button
FIDELITY (the deliverable): fidelity/lean_defs.py transliterates the Lean
MTH/Path/Root/ConsRec (post-refactor decidable-if base) to Python;
fidelity/run_fidelity.py differential-tests them vs the DEPLOYED pacta
verifiers over test_paper_verifiers.py's exact case generation. Result:
MTH==merkle_root (256), Path==inclusion_proof (32,896), verifier
agreement over 164,479 inclusion + 164,224 consistency cases (incl.
honest consistency). Pinned counts match the paper. Wired as check.sh
Phase 4 (gated on pacta presence, SKIP_FIDELITY to skip).

HONEST CORRECTION: three cone pins added in S5.3-S6 were WRONG
(take_all and consRec_base_true_eq are [propext]; consRec_base_false_eq
is [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound]) — I had guessed
[propext, Quot.sound]. check.sh's Phase 3 audit was therefore EXITING 1
since S5.3, but I reported 'green' from tailing cert lines instead of
checking the exit code / ALL GREEN. Pins now corrected to the observed
cones; the button now genuinely exits 0 with ALL GREEN + FIDELITY GREEN.
No THEOREM was ever wrong (kernel-checked); the failure was the audit
harness rejecting mis-pinned cones — working as designed, caught late by
my process gap. Process fixed: verify exit code + ALL GREEN, never tail.

35 certs green (verified by exit 0). LTL untouched.
