mrwulf 888796a16e verification: separate the two accounting questions (round-9 review, Claude N2)
Phase 2c-accounting asked one question with a name-keyed identity: is every
kernel constant covered by the corpus inventory or the instrument surface?
Keying on the name alone conflates that with a second, different question --
does the kernel attribute a declaration to the same module the walk does?

Pair-keying the identity (module|name) was the obvious fix and is wrong: it
fails on legitimate per-module duplicates. Lean materialises equation lemmas
lazily, so each module forcing an unfold gets its own copy in its object file
(GPT-5.6 round-7 F8). Those records differ from the walk only in module
attribution, and every one of their names is accounted for elsewhere.

So the block now asks both questions and reports them separately: coverage
stays name-keyed and fail-closed, module attribution is counted and printed
rather than suppressed. A divergence is now visible instead of either passing
silently or failing for the wrong reason.

The accumulator declines the second question and says why: its INV rows carry
no module column (4 fields), so its records cannot be compared as pairs at
all. Gating on the field count rather than on the row tag -- the shape of the
record, not the spelling of its label. Adding that column is the open
follow-up; until then the identity there is name-keyed only, which is weaker
and now says so.

Certified by the round-14 sweep: 50/50 green across all six repositories,
both buttons and every self-test.

ltl-accumulator-verified

Lean 4 mechanization of the security analysis (§6) of the system report "The Lean Transparency Log" (archived at https://ltl.zkdefi.org/paper/v0.2 — the version this corpus was built against; the current paper, "Accountable Distribution of Machine-Checked Correctness Evidence" at https://ltl.zkdefi.org/paper, presents these results in its §5 and carries this corpus as entry 13): the Merkle accumulator's own correctness and soundness theorems, kernel-checked, in the same discipline as the four *-ed25519-verified subject corpora.

Status: ATTESTED — LTL entry 13, live (2026-07-16)

This corpus is now itself a leaf of the log it describes. It was appended as entry 13 of the Lean Transparency Log (freeze 172a1d0), so the log carries kernel-checked proofs about the accumulator model underlying its own inclusion and consistency reasoning (a deployment we are unaware of a precedent for; scoped to the mechanized model, not the deployed verifier — see below). Live head after the append: tree size 13, root 3488a2d0ff9f00415bb561d61b01a420e3ca2e0f7b29351ec9ebb3f57319da0d; this corpus is leaf index 12, hash 8cb258d657f1fd00baaa9e0091e26c316cb69b591cb249a9543f51cade57c50a. The old 12-leaf head (bcd15f9d…) is a proven prefix; the 12→13 consistency transition is accepted by both the deployed verifier and the mechanized model. Fetch and verify it at ltl.zkdefi.org/v1/sth. The leaf carries its own scope block: what is kernel-checked is the mechanized model (§6), and correspondence to the deployed verifier is scoped by KNOWN-GAPS 14/15 — the leaf does not claim the deployed verifier is formally verified.

All paper-§6/§10 mechanization targets (v0.2 numbering) are kernel-checked; the audit surface is defined and green (verification/check.sh, exit 0). See STATEMENT-MAP.md for the paper↔Lean review surface and KNOWN-GAPS.md for the honest scope ledger. Reviewed across six external adversarial rounds (GPT-5.6 + a second Claude; zero broken theorems in any round; both approved). The audit surface is an environment-derived inventory (Proofs/Inventory.lean + pinned allowlist — 222 constants, 61 human-reviewed cones, self-tested by selftest_audit.sh); the review kit is push-button reproducible (run_bare.sh, self-contained fidelity target); acceptIncl/acceptCons_sound route the theorems through the named acceptance predicates; fidelity = agreement over pinned families (230,271 + 230,016 baseline; 73,573 lied-size boundary cases with 3,867 expected one-sided divergences — KNOWN-GAPS gaps 14/15, not extensional equality). Doc counts are asserted by check.sh Phase 3c. How the append was done — release tuple, preflight, candidate-inspection gate, and the 12→13 structural rehearsal — is recorded in ATTESTATION-RUNBOOK.md.

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; acceptCons_sound routes it through the named acceptCons predicate, size bound derived from acceptance via consRec_some_le) 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.
