""" Static assets dropped into the git-published log repository: the

self - contained .
SYNC RULE : these constants MUST stay byte - identical to the canonical
files in the published mirror ( lean - transparency - log : verify . py ,
verify_selftest . py , README . md ) . A publish overwrites the mirror copies
from here , so drift REGRESSES shipped fixes ( found 2026 - 07 - 19 : this file
still carried the pre - hardening fail - open verify . py and the pre - Tier - 2
README ) . tests / test_published_assets . py pins the security - critical

the witness channel; per-component attestations + receipts; the
provider public key; a standalone stdlib-only verify.py and customer
README). Live at github.com/saymrwulf/lean-transparency-log (genesis:
8 leaves incl. the honest failed-run entries, dogfood-signed head).

at /docs (current state, attested components, API, the verify-
without-trusting-this-site path, and the means/does-NOT-mean
boundary). The process never loads private keys: heads are signed
offline; a compromised server can withhold or replay (pinning +
freshness detect both) but never forge. STH history now recorded
append-only by the provider (with a backfill head signed for the
existing log).
- AGENT ONLINE CLIENT: pacta log-fetch (download evidence; explicitly
UNVERIFIED until receipt-verify runs - transport is not trust) and
pacta sth-refresh (fetch head, verify signature, advance the pin via
an online consistency proof from the pinned size; fail closed).
- WITNESSES: pacta witness-audit over a clone of the published mirror
recomputes every prefix root from the public leaves and checks every
historical head + signature - no consistency proofs needed when the
leaves are public. Tampering one published entry trips both the
leaf-hash check and the prefix-root check (tested). verify.py gives
customers the same audit with zero installation.

reconstruct the servable log FROM the published mirror (the server

the witness channel; per-component attestations + receipts; the
provider public key; a standalone stdlib-only verify.py and customer
README). Live at github.com/saymrwulf/lean-transparency-log (genesis:
8 leaves incl. the honest failed-run entries, dogfood-signed head).
- ONLINE SERVICE (pacta_provider serve): read-only, zero-dependency
HTTP with CT-style endpoints under a base path for
zkdefi.org/lean-transparency-log - /v1/sth, /v1/sth-history,
/v1/sth-consistency?first=N, /v1/proof, /v1/attestation, /v1/entries,
/v1/metadata, /healthz - plus self-contained customer documentation
at /docs (current state, attested components, API, the verify-
without-trusting-this-site path, and the means/does-NOT-mean
boundary). The process never loads private keys: heads are signed
offline; a compromised server can withhold or replay (pinning +
freshness detect both) but never forge. STH history now recorded
append-only by the provider (with a backfill head signed for the
existing log).
- AGENT ONLINE CLIENT: pacta log-fetch (download evidence; explicitly
UNVERIFIED until receipt-verify runs - transport is not trust) and
pacta sth-refresh (fetch head, verify signature, advance the pin via
an online consistency proof from the pinned size; fail closed).
- WITNESSES: pacta witness-audit over a clone of the published mirror
recomputes every prefix root from the public leaves and checks every
historical head + signature - no consistency proofs needed when the
leaves are public. Tampering one published entry trips both the
leaf-hash check and the prefix-root check (tested). verify.py gives
customers the same audit with zero installation.

The log goes public: git-published mirror, online service, witnesses
Three synchronized faces of one log - transport orthogonal to trust:
- PUBLISHED GIT MIRROR: log-publish exports the public face (one file
per leaf so git history mirrors log history; the FULL STH history as
the witness channel; per-component attestations + receipts; the
provider public key; a standalone stdlib-only verify.py and customer
README). Live at github.com/saymrwulf/lean-transparency-log (genesis:
8 leaves incl. the honest failed-run entries, dogfood-signed head).
- ONLINE SERVICE (pacta_provider serve): read-only, zero-dependency
HTTP with CT-style endpoints under a base path for

/v1/sth-consistency?first=N, /v1/proof, /v1/attestation, /v1/entries,
/v1/metadata, /healthz - plus self-contained customer documentation
at /docs (current state, attested components, API, the verify-
without-trusting-this-site path, and the means/does-NOT-mean
boundary). The process never loads private keys: heads are signed
offline; a compromised server can withhold or replay (pinning +
freshness detect both) but never forge. STH history now recorded
append-only by the provider (with a backfill head signed for the
existing log).
- AGENT ONLINE CLIENT: pacta log-fetch (download evidence; explicitly
UNVERIFIED until receipt-verify runs - transport is not trust) and
pacta sth-refresh (fetch head, verify signature, advance the pin via
an online consistency proof from the pinned size; fail closed).
- WITNESSES: pacta witness-audit over a clone of the published mirror
recomputes every prefix root from the public leaves and checks every
historical head + signature - no consistency proofs needed when the
leaves are public. Tampering one published entry trips both the
leaf-hash check and the prefix-root check (tested). verify.py gives
customers the same audit with zero installation.

HTTP with CT-style endpoints under a base path for

/v1/sth-consistency?first=N, /v1/proof, /v1/attestation, /v1/entries,
/v1/metadata, /healthz - plus self-contained customer documentation
at /docs (current state, attested components, API, the verify-
without-trusting-this-site path, and the means/does-NOT-mean
boundary). The process never loads private keys: heads are signed
offline; a compromised server can withhold or replay (pinning +
freshness detect both) but never forge. STH history now recorded
append-only by the provider (with a backfill head signed for the
existing log).
- AGENT ONLINE CLIENT: pacta log-fetch (download evidence; explicitly
UNVERIFIED until receipt-verify runs - transport is not trust) and
pacta sth-refresh (fetch head, verify signature, advance the pin via
an online consistency proof from the pinned size; fail closed).
- WITNESSES: pacta witness-audit over a clone of the published mirror
recomputes every prefix root from the public leaves and checks every
historical head + signature - no consistency proofs needed when the
leaves are public. Tampering one published entry trips both the
leaf-hash check and the prefix-root check (tested). verify.py gives
customers the same audit with zero installation.

of specific software , at specific git commits , re - check with exactly their

the log also attests * * its own accumulator machinery * * — a kernel - checked
mechanization of the log ' s security analysis, so the log carries
kernel - checked proofs * about the accumulator model * underlying its own
inclusion and consistency reasoning , as one of its own entries ( subject
[ ` ltl - accumulator - verified ` ] ( https : / / github . com / saymrwulf / ltl - accumulator - verified ) ;
scoped to the mechanized model — it does not prove operator honesty ,
signing , or execution provenance ) . Current head : tree size 13 , root

The log goes public: git-published mirror, online service, witnesses
Three synchronized faces of one log - transport orthogonal to trust:
- PUBLISHED GIT MIRROR: log-publish exports the public face (one file
per leaf so git history mirrors log history; the FULL STH history as
the witness channel; per-component attestations + receipts; the
provider public key; a standalone stdlib-only verify.py and customer
README). Live at github.com/saymrwulf/lean-transparency-log (genesis:
8 leaves incl. the honest failed-run entries, dogfood-signed head).
- ONLINE SERVICE (pacta_provider serve): read-only, zero-dependency
HTTP with CT-style endpoints under a base path for
zkdefi.org/lean-transparency-log - /v1/sth, /v1/sth-history,
/v1/sth-consistency?first=N, /v1/proof, /v1/attestation, /v1/entries,
/v1/metadata, /healthz - plus self-contained customer documentation
at /docs (current state, attested components, API, the verify-
without-trusting-this-site path, and the means/does-NOT-mean
boundary). The process never loads private keys: heads are signed
offline; a compromised server can withhold or replay (pinning +
freshness detect both) but never forge. STH history now recorded
append-only by the provider (with a backfill head signed for the
existing log).
- AGENT ONLINE CLIENT: pacta log-fetch (download evidence; explicitly
UNVERIFIED until receipt-verify runs - transport is not trust) and
pacta sth-refresh (fetch head, verify signature, advance the pin via
an online consistency proof from the pinned size; fail closed).
- WITNESSES: pacta witness-audit over a clone of the published mirror
recomputes every prefix root from the public leaves and checks every
historical head + signature - no consistency proofs needed when the
leaves are public. Tampering one published entry trips both the
leaf-hash check and the prefix-root check (tested). verify.py gives
customers the same audit with zero installation.
- DEPLOY.md: the complete server-session checklist for zkdefi.org -
reconstruct the servable log FROM the published mirror (the server
stays in witness trust-position), hardened systemd unit, nginx/Caddy
path routing, Forgejo mirror setup, the provider->world update
cycle, and remote smoke tests.
Validated end-to-end on the REAL log: all 10 endpoints, online-fetched
proof re-verified locally through the dogfood verifier with pinning,
online pin refresh, publish + witness audit green, tamper caught,
standalone verify.py green in the published clone. 54/54 tests.

retains early leaves recording a * * failed * * audit run : an append - only
trust ledger keeps its history . Tree heads are signed by the merkleized ,
proof - attested Ed25519 library itself , and each signature embeds the
provider ' s own Merkle self-check of that library ' s leaf .
