mrwulf 962c0fdd41 verify.py template: check the additive SLH-DSA head signature, fail-closed where it counts
The consumer verifier now judges the slh_dsa block on every head. The status
taxonomy is the design decision, so it is spelled out and each arm tested:

  ABSENT     head predates the second signature — allowed (additive posture,
             operator decision 2026-08-06); an append-only log keeps history.
  VALID      verified against provider.slhdsa.pub.
  INVALID    present and wrong — HARD FAILURE. A bad signature is never a
             degradation.
  WRONG-KEY  head names a different key than the mirror ships — hard failure.
  NO-PUBKEY  head claims the signature, mirror ships no key — broken
             publication, hard failure.
  TOOLING    OpenSSL < 3.5 cannot read SLH-DSA keys — honest degradation:
             one loud NOTE, never counted as verified, never failed; the
             required Ed25519 checks still gate the result.

verify_selftest.py gains two adversarial cases, both mutating a full mirror
copy: one flipped signature byte must fail naming slh_dsa:INVALID; deleting
provider.slhdsa.pub while heads claim the signature must fail NO-PUBKEY. On
mirrors without slh blocks the cases record as not-applicable rather than
silently passing. First selftest run caught my own marker bug — the case
grepped for the stored failure string, which is never printed, instead of
the printed status; the printed line is now the assertion target.

README template: SLH-DSA key row, honesty paragraph (verification proven for
both algorithms, signing for neither; leaves Ed25519-signed at issuance
only), and the hardcoded head size is GONE — the README now names no tree
size at all, so this staleness class dies with the instance (it said "tree
size 13" and would have shipped that under a 19-leaf head).

Template is deliberately ahead of the published mirror until the next
publication, which overwrites the mirror from here (the sync rule's
intended direction for pre-publication work). Proven against the scratch
19-leaf mirror: verify.py --all RESULT OK [full] with ABSENT on heads 8-13
and VALID on 14-19; selftest 13/13 GREEN. Backward compat proven against a
copy of the live 13-leaf mirror: RESULT OK [full], selftest GREEN with the
slh cases n/a. Suite 152/0/0.

"""Static assets dropped into the git-published log repository: the
standalone fail-closed verifier, its adversarial self-test, and the
customer README. Kept as string constants so the published repo is fully
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
markers; regenerate from the canonical files rather than hand-editing.

"""Standalone verifier for the published Lean Transparency Log.
Pure Python 3 standard library for hashing and structure; Ed25519
signature checking shells out to the `openssl` binary. Verifies, from the
files in this repository alone:
1. every entry's leaf hash,
2. every historical Signed Tree Head against the recomputed prefix root
(a split view or tampered entry fails here),
3. every STH Ed25519 signature — and, where a head carries the ADDITIVE
SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s signature (FIPS 205, heads from 2026-08 on), that
too: a present-but-wrong post-quantum signature FAILS the run, a head
without one is allowed, and an OpenSSL too old to check it (pre-3.5)
is reported loudly as a degradation, never counted as verified,
4. every published receipt under receipts/ (with --all), and any receipt
supplied via --receipt FILE, as a FULL transparency receipt: type tag,
STH signature, REQUIRED key fingerprint, log id, presence of its STH
in the published history, REQUIRED leaf hash matching the named entry,
tree-size agreement, and the inclusion proof. Binding fields are
required, never compare-if-present.
FAIL-CLOSED: if signature checking is unavailable (no `openssl`, or the
public key is missing), the run FAILS — signatures are load-bearing and a
"couldn't check" is not a pass. Use --structural-only to explicitly ask
for hashes/structure without signatures (it prints, and exits, as a
reduced check, never as full verification).
Usage:
python3 verify.py --all
python3 verify.py --receipt receipts/dalek-ed25519-verified.receipt.json
python3 verify.py --all --structural-only # explicit reduced check

README_MD = r'''# Lean Transparency Log — published mirror
This repository is the **git-published face** of a transparency log of
formal-verification attestations: signed statements that the Lean 4 proofs
of specific software, at specific git commits, re-check with exactly their
documented assumptions. Its first twelve leaves attest four cryptographic
Rust libraries (Ed25519 implementations); as of **entry 13 (2026-07-16)**
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). As of **2026-08** the log also attests
the **SLH-DSA (FIPS 205) verify-path proofs**
([`fips205-slhdsa-verified`](https://github.com/saymrwulf/fips205-slhdsa-verified))
and its heads carry an **additive post-quantum SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s signature**
beside the required Ed25519 one. The current head is `latest-sth.json` —
this README deliberately names no tree size, so it cannot go stale.
Layout:
| Path | Content |
|---|---|
| `entries/NNNNNN.json` | one log leaf per file, append-only (git history mirrors log history) |
| `entries/<component>.attestation.json` | the newest attestation per library, for convenience |
| `receipts/<component>.receipt.json` | inclusion proof binding that attestation to the latest signed head |
| `sth-history.jsonl` | **every** Signed Tree Head ever issued — the witness channel: all cloners see the same heads |
| `latest-sth.json` | the current head |
| `provider.ed25519.pub` | the provider's Ed25519 public key — the REQUIRED identity anchor; each statement's truth additionally rests on the assumptions stated in its leaf |
| `provider.slhdsa.pub` | the provider's SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s public key (FIPS 205) — checks the ADDITIVE post-quantum head signature; needs OpenSSL >= 3.5, and verify.py degrades honestly below that |
| `verify.py` | standalone verifier (Python stdlib + the `openssl` binary; fails closed without them; `--all` covers every published receipt) |
| `verify_selftest.py` | adversarial self-test: proves the verifier's fail-closed paths reject mutated receipts |
Verify everything locally, no installation:
```bash
python3 verify.py --all
python3 verify.py --receipt receipts/dalek-ed25519-verified.receipt.json
```
The online service (same data, live endpoints + customer documentation):
**https://ltl.zkdefi.org**
The provider tooling, agent tooling, and course materials:
**https://github.com/saymrwulf/proof-aware-crypto-tooling-agent**
Honesty notes, always in force: attestations cover Rust **source** at a
pinned commit (clone it — the commit identifies the committed git tree,
not dependencies or toolchains — and build it yourself; compilers are
declared trusted base). The log deliberately
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. Heads additionally
carry a **deterministic SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s signature** over the same payload:
additive, so Ed25519 remains the signature a consumer must check, and honest
about scope — the estate's certificates cover the *verification* path of both
algorithms; no signing operation is proven for either, and leaves themselves
are Ed25519-signed at issuance only. Heads published before 2026-08 have no
SLH-DSA signature and verify.py reports them as `slh_dsa:ABSENT`, which is
allowed — an append-only log keeps its history.
