PACTA Curriculum Notebooks

This directory contains a zero-to-hero teaching sequence for proof-aware cryptographic tooling.

Start with 00_course_map.ipynb, then proceed in order. The notebooks are intentionally output-free in git. Run them from the repository root or from this directory; each notebook locates the repo root and imports pacta from src/.

The course teaches:

• theorem-boundary thinking,
• claim cards and residual risk,
• Lean replay and axiom audit concepts,
• proof hygiene,
• third-party proof-check provider trust,
• RFC 9162-style Merkle transparency logs,
• receipt-gated agent consequences,
• research roadmaps from R3 evidence toward R4/R5 assurance.

This curriculum is not financial advice, not a trading bot, and not a wallet-building guide. It is a training path for engineers and researchers who need to evaluate formal-verification-enhanced cryptographic tooling without overclaiming.
