mrwulf 8795e82865 S5.3: consRecBinding PROVEN — Theorem 3 steps 1-2 kernel-checked (the hardest object)
The single hardest proof in the corpus is complete, no sorry. Under the
value-equality invariant y = MTH D₁, an accepting ConsRec fold either
makes extractConsNode output a genuine collision or its first component
is the honest prefix root MTH(D₁.take n₀).

- ConsRec base changed from list-match to decidable if (if C=[] /
  if C.length=1) — same root-cause fix as Root, avoids WF-unfold
  exhaustiveness obligations; more faithful to the deployed Python.
  Whole chain (Basic..Consistency) rebuilt clean.
- consRecBinding by ConsRec.induct (10 cases): 4 base/singleton, 3
  rejection/none contradictions, 2 recursive (n₀≤k, n₀>k). The n₀>k
  none-branch is where all S5.1 infrastructure interlocks:
  kbelow_prefix_eq (prefix splits at same k) + take_take_le +
  take_drop_prefix assemble x = hnode s xx into MTH(D₁.take n₀). The
  collision branches use append_inj (fixed-width Hash) + MTH_split.
- take_all helper (take-whole-list).

Cone [propext, Classical.choice, LTLAcc.sha256, Quot.sound] — single hash
axiom. 24 certs green. Fable statement-audit: matches paper Thm 3
steps 1-2. LTL untouched (12 leaves, bcd15f9d).

# 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.
