The freeze rationale is gone (review concluded); v0.11 describes the
LIVE deployment instead of the July snapshot:
- abstract + contributions: nineteen leaves, four Ed25519 corpora at 44
certs, the accumulator's two attestations, leaf 18 = the SLH-DSA
verify path; heads dual-signed since size 14 with the parameter set
the log itself attests
- signed-tree-heads section: the additive deterministic SLH-DSA
co-signature, ABSENT-not-failed history honesty, determinism as an
audit primitive, the closed loop to leaf 18
- new instantiation subsection 'The SLH-DSA verify path: the method on
second terrain': 11 certificates, acceptance characterization, the
no-second-semantics honesty (visible-not-correct), exact cone
enforcement, scope (mono facade + 137-case bridge, base_2b, no
signing)
- deployment/public state: 15 August 2026, root 7ee23940, twelve heads
8-19, per-leaf narrative through 18
- NEW Appendix E: the eleven SLH-DSA certificates with their exact
oracle cones — the mirror of Appendix D's Ed25519 tiers
- title: v0.11; site card + snapshot note + paper/README updated
25pp, zero unresolved refs, Appendix E render-inspected by eye; full
test suite green
Operator finding 2026-08-15: the live site still said 'v0.9 — frozen
while under journal review' and advertised the superseded v0.1/v0.2
drafts. Fixed at the source:
- webdocs.py paper card: v0.10, revised August 2026 (version now also
printed on the PDF title page); the divergence description gains its
closure (the sn=0 conjunct, zero divergences, three-way regression);
the freeze-era reconciliation card shrunk to a tight snapshot-vs-today
paragraph; fragile '12 Jupyter lectures' count dropped
- web.py: /paper serves the current paper only; all old-variant routes
404 (git history retains the drafts); ltl-v0.1/v0.2 files removed from
the working tree, paper/README updated
- ltl.tex: title page now reads 'Revised: August 2026 — v0.10' (the
version travels IN the PDF, per operator order); rebuilt
- tests updated to ENFORCE the retirement (all old variants must 404);
full suite 152 passed
The review process concluded 2026-08 (operator released the hold). Folds
in exactly the staged erratum-queue + v0.10 items, nothing else:
- corpus count sentence made historical (sixteen at the studied leaves;
forty-four per fork since — the log records both generations)
- the 3,867/73,573 divergence finding gains its closure everywhere it
appears: root cause = deployed verifier omitted RFC 9162 S2.1.4.2
Step 7's terminal sn=0 condition (fixed in ddbb5a4); zero divergences
post-fix, three-way regression
- new limitations paragraph 'Replay-harness integrity' (a wrong
observation needs no malice)
- adversary model: defective-harness clause
- claim matrix: 'recorded cone was produced by an audit that performed
its checks — not established' row
- title page carries 'Revised: August 2026'; submitted v0.9 (7f140356)
preserved in git history; paper/README signpost updated
paper/README.md tells a visitor that ltl.pdf is the submitted version
frozen during review, that v0.1/v0.2 are superseded history, and that
v0.3-v0.9 live in git history. Also corrects the stale web.py comment
that labeled the live pdf 'v0.3 reinvention' (it is the v0.9 submitted
version). No served bytes change; the comment fix reaches the droplet
with the next routine app update.
