Dogfood cryptography: pacta verifies signatures through the PROVEN code path
"Eat your own dogfood": pacta consumes certificates about a verified
Ed25519 implementation while checking those certificates' signatures
with OpenSSL. Now it can use the object of its own evidence:
- dogfood/pacta-verified-verify: a ~90-line Rust binary built against
the PINNED proven source workspace (saymrwulf/curve25519-dalek-source
at the exact commit the dalek certificates pin - the build records it:
aa0f6ab...) with the serial backend pinned via RUSTFLAGS exactly as
the verified extraction pins it. Cargo.toml is committed as a template
({{SOURCE}} placeholder) so no machine path is hardcoded; the rendered
file, target/, and the built binary are gitignored.
- pacta dogfood-build --source <workspace>: renders, builds, installs
to dogfood/state/, and writes a provenance sidecar (source commit,
backend cfg, rustc, and an honest coverage note: the certificates
cover verify_sha512, the extraction-refactored image of this verify
path; SHA-512 and the wire glue remain the theorems' documented
boundary). pacta dogfood-status reports the active backend.
- signing.verify_payload_ed25519_detailed: dispatch - the dogfood
binary when present (backend "verified-dalek-serial"), OpenSSL
fallback otherwise, and the backend that ACTUALLY ran is recorded in
receipt signature statuses and attestation evidence. Fallback is
never silent.
- --require-verified-verifier (receipt-verify + agent): policy fails
closed when verification did not run on the certificate-covered
path.
- ML-DSA is deliberately unchanged: no proven implementation exists,
so the slot stays fail-closed "unavailable" - the honest hybrid-PQC
posture is one proven-classical signature plus one required-but-
unproven PQC slot, never a pretend backend.
Validated live: receipt verification through the proven verifier
(backend recorded), a corrupted signature bit rejected BY the proven
binary, tampered attestations rejected, and the policy failing closed
when the binary is absent. 49/49 tests green (incl. PEM-SPKI raw-key
cross-check against openssl, dispatch/backend recording with a stub,
and a real-binary roundtrip that skips gracefully where unbuilt).
