mrwulf b8ffbafa7f The provider eats its own dogfood: root signatures via the merkleized library
The dogfood principle now runs in BOTH directions. Agents already
verified signatures through the proven dalek path; now the provider
SIGNS with it too, and proves to itself that the signing code is in its
own log before every signature:

- dogfood binary gains a `sign` mode (seed over stdin, never argv;
  ed25519_dalek::SigningKey from the same pinned merkleized workspace).
  Honesty ledger unchanged: the library's VERIFY path is
  certificate-covered; its signing path is declared trusted base - but
  it is the ATTESTED artifact, not an un-attested third implementation.
- sign_payload_ed25519_detailed: signing dispatch mirroring the verify
  dispatch; the backend that actually signed is recorded in every
  attestation signature block and STH.
- THE SELF-REFERENTIAL CHECK: before signing any tree head, the
  provider runs the SAME Merkle inclusion verification an agent runs -
  against the very tree it is about to sign - for the newest leaf
  attesting the signing library itself, and embeds the result in the
  signature block:
    signing_provenance:
      signing_backend: verified-dalek-serial
      signing_library_component: dalek-ed25519-verified
      signing_library_source_commit: aa0f6ab...
      self_inclusion: verified
      signing_library_leaf_index: 4
      signing_library_certificates_proven: 16/16
  A root signature that names the leaf vouching for the code that
  produced it. First-append chicken-and-egg is handled honestly
  (self_inclusion: library_not_in_log).
- Evidence refreshed: all four receipts re-issued under dogfood-signed
  STHs; the full agent verify loop re-run green.

50/50 tests (new signing roundtrip test, skip-safe where unbuilt).

PACTA Proof Check Provider

This nested project is a prototype third-party proof-checking service. It reuses host Lean/Aeneas infrastructure, runs portable PACTA replay/audit checks, and emits signed attestation certificates.

It does not modify anything outside this repository. It may read configured toolchains such as /Users/oho/GitClone/ClaudeCodeProjects/your-lean-project/aeneas-toolchain/env.sh.

It can also maintain a local transparency log. The log is an RFC 9162-style Merkle accumulator over signed attestations. It emits Signed Tree Heads with Ed25519 today and records an ML-DSA/FIPS 204 signature slot as unavailable unless a real backend is present. Agents that require both signatures must reject such receipts.

Commands

PYTHONPATH=src:provider/src python -m pacta_provider discover
PYTHONPATH=src:provider/src python -m pacta_provider init-key --key-dir provider/state/demo-provider
PYTHONPATH=src:provider/src python -m pacta_provider check \
  --config examples/repos.yaml \
  --repo-name dalek-ed25519-verified \
  --repo repos/dalek-ed25519-verified \
  --provider local-pacta-provider \
  --private-key provider/state/demo-provider/provider.ed25519.key \
  --public-key provider/state/demo-provider/provider.ed25519.pub \
  --out provider/out/dalek.attestation.yaml

Transparency log:

PYTHONPATH=src:provider/src python -m pacta_provider log-init \
  --log-dir provider/state/transparency-log \
  --provider local-pacta-provider \
  --public-key provider/state/demo-provider/provider.ed25519.pub

PYTHONPATH=src:provider/src python -m pacta_provider log-append \
  --log-dir provider/state/transparency-log \
  --attestation provider/out/dalek.attestation.yaml \
  --private-key provider/state/demo-provider/provider.ed25519.key \
  --public-key provider/state/demo-provider/provider.ed25519.pub \
  --out provider/out/dalek.receipt.yaml

PYTHONPATH=src:provider/src python -m pacta_provider log-sth \
  --log-dir provider/state/transparency-log \
  --private-key provider/state/demo-provider/provider.ed25519.key \
  --public-key provider/state/demo-provider/provider.ed25519.pub

The resulting certificate can be consumed by pacta with --attestation, --trust-attestation-provider, and --attestation-public-key.

The receipt can be consumed with --transparency-receipt, --transparency-log-public-key, and --require-transparency-receipt.

The private key must remain provider-side. Downstream agents only need the public key, the inclusion receipt, and a policy decision that the provider name/log key is trusted.
