mrwulf 406750887f S5.3 Fable re-audit: machine-verify the ConsRec base refactor (permanent artifact)
Re-derived S5.3 (all done under an Opus switch) from zero. consRecBinding
STATEMENT re-confirmed faithful to paper Thm 3 steps 1-2 (y=MTH D₁ = the
hash-fold condition; some=>collision / none=>x=MTH(D₁.take n₀) = the two
Lemma-2 outcomes); non-vacuous (some-branch is a SPECIFIC-pair IsCollision,
not pigeonhole-provable; none-branch a real equality needing hcons).

FINDING + FIX: Opus changed ConsRec's base definition (list-match →
decidable if) with only 'recompiled clean' as evidence — a definition
that mirrors the deployed verifier. Now machine-checked: consRec_base_
false_eq / consRec_base_true_eq prove the decidable-if base EQUALS the
exact list-match forms it replaced. Kept as PERMANENT cone-audited
theorems (F1 discipline: keep the evidence), not a throwaway probe.

QUEUED for S5.4: extractCons_correct (Theorem 3 endpoint) MUST carry a
permanent non-vacuity witness like extractIncl_nonvacuous/extractMTH_
nonvacuous. S7 must re-confirm the NEW ConsRec base vs Python.

26 certs green. LTL untouched.

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: layer scaffold (work in progress — honest ledger below)

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) done (incl_complete: propext, Classical.choice, LTLAcc.sha256, Quot.sound)
L4 frontier binding content (Lemma 2) inlined in the extractor walk (extractIncl); standalone receipt-uniqueness theorem queued for S4 restoration in extractor form
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
Lemma 2, PATH instance (receipt-uniqueness of Root): deleted with the vacuous root_binding in S3.5 and not yet restored; optional, not needed for Theorem 3
L6b ConsRec binding + Theorem 3 assembly (extractCons) in progress (S5): stage-1 arithmetic/list infrastructure done (kbelow_prefix_eq, take surgery); stage-1 infra + extractConsNode extractor DEFINED (faithful to ConsRec by inspection — NOT yet machine-checked); consRecBinding PROVEN (Theorem 3 steps 1-2, kernel-checked, no sorry); extractCons assembly (step 3 join) = S5.4
L6 pin-store state machine safety (Proposition 1) pending

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.
  • 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.
