mrwulf 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.

# ltl-accumulator-verified
Lean 4 mechanization of the security analysis (§6) of the paper
"The Lean Transparency Log" (https://ltl.zkdefi.org/paper): the Merkle
accumulator's own correctness and soundness theorems, kernel-checked, in
the same discipline as the four `*-ed25519-verified` subject corpora.
## Status: **FROZEN for external review** (corpus complete)
All paper-§10 mechanization targets are kernel-checked; the audit surface
is defined and green (`verification/check.sh`, exit 0). See
[STATEMENT-MAP.md](STATEMENT-MAP.md) for the paper↔Lean review surface and
[KNOWN-GAPS.md](KNOWN-GAPS.md) for the honest scope ledger.
Revised after review round 1 (GPT-5.6 + second Claude) and round 2:
the audit surface is now an environment-derived inventory
(`Proofs/Inventory.lean` + pinned allowlist, self-tested by
`selftest_audit.sh`), the review kit's fidelity target is
self-contained, `acceptIncl` routes Theorems 12, fidelity families
extended (230,271 / 230,016). No changes until the external review
completes. The finished certificates' attestation into the LTL is a
separate, explicitly-authorized operator decision.
| layer | content | status |
|---|---|---|
| L1 | bytes, hleaf/hnode, domain separation (Lemma 1) | **done** (domsep: axiom-free) |
| L2 | MTH, Root, ConsRec definitions + termination | **done** (cones: propext, LTLAcc.sha256, Quot.sound) |
| L3 | inclusion completeness (Theorem 1) + named acceptance `acceptIncl` | **done** (incl_complete: propext, Classical.choice, LTLAcc.sha256, Quot.sound) |
| L4 | frontier binding content (Lemma 2) | **done as specializations** — inlined in the extractor walk (`extractIncl`), whole-tree (`extractMTH`), ConsRec (`consRecBinding`); the standalone `Root` receipt-uniqueness instance was deleted with the vacuous `root_binding` in S3.5 and deliberately NOT restored (optional, unused — KNOWN-GAPS gap 3) |
| L5 | inclusion soundness = EXPLICIT extractor `extractIncl` (Theorem 2) | **done, non-vacuous** |
| L6a | descent extractor `extractMTH` (Theorem 3 step 3 = Lemma 2, whole-tree instance) | **done, non-vacuous** |
| L6b | Theorem 3 (consistency soundness): `consRecBinding` (steps 12) + `extractCons`/`extractCons_correct` (+ `_paper` at the paper's exact quantifiers) | **done, non-vacuous** |
| L6c | pin-store state machine safety (Proposition 1): `pinAccept_monotone`, `pin_prefix_correct`, `fork_distinct` | **done, non-vacuous** (per-step; multi-step chain = gap 7) |
## Discipline (identical to the subject corpora)
- `verification/Proofs/` contains ZERO `axiom` declarations; the single
sanctioned axiom site is `verification/gen/` — here, one opaque
function: SHA-256. The theorems are constructive collision extractors,
so collision resistance is never assumed, only interpreted.
- `verification/check.sh` is THE button: compiles every file through
`lean-guard` (memory cap, core pinning, timeout, single-flight lock)
and axiom-audits every certificate against its documented exact cone.
- Reviewers without the operator toolchain: `verification/run_bare.sh`
compiles, axiom-audits, and inventory-gates the corpus with a plain
public `lean` (version pinned in `verification/lean-toolchain`); the
operator path is overridable via `AENEAS_ENV`.
- Expected boundary: `propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound` plus
`LTLAcc.sha256` for hash-touching certificates — documented per
certificate in `check.sh`, audited both directions.
The finished certificates are destined for the LTL itself as attestation
leaves: the log carrying kernel-checked proofs of its own machinery.
