Closes four round-7/8 findings. Certified by the round-12 sweep: five repositories, both buttons and every self-test, 48/48 GREEN. ── `scalar-statements-unbound` (gpt, round 7, CRITICAL) ──────────────────── The main button bound its 31 certificates' elaborated statements and reachable specification bodies. This button bound NONE of its thirteen, while TRUSTED-BASE item 8 said the audit covers "every certificate" — false across the 44-certificate surface. The finding was raised in round 7, lost from the round-8 work list by an F-number collision between two reviewers, and re-raised in round 8. Proofs/ScalarAudit.lean is generated from each fork's OWN Audit.lean, so the canonicalisation is provably the same code: pp.all rendering, whitespace normalisation, transitive specification closure. check-scalar.sh Phase 3c pins the block's digest, requires the committed copy to match byte-for-byte so a mismatch can be DIFFED, and cross-checks the auditor's certificate set against the button's CERTS array. dalek ecf3a3f8 · anza 0d942e47 · risc0 4b550a61 · betrusted 4b550a61 risc0 and betrusted share a digest and that is correct, not a collision: their ScalarSubSpec.lean differs only in doc prose and in `black_box` entries inside `simp only [...]` lists AFTER `:= by`. Proof scripts. They bind the same statements over the same specifications, which is the documented scope. selftest-scalar-statements.sh ships the two attacks the reviewer asked for: ok gutted statement caught (cone unchanged) ok rewritten specification body caught (name and cone unchanged) The second rewrites a reachable reference body to `id (…)` — DEFINITIONALLY EQUAL, so the corpus compiles and every proof typechecks and the cone is byte-identical. Every earlier phase is blind to it. ── `drv-surface-no-cones` + `accounting-certifies-enumeration` (claude) ──── The round-7 accounting identity proved every kernel constant was ENUMERATED. The reviewer showed enumeration is not audit: their planted claim WAS enumerated, as DRV|LTLAccAudit.bait.smuggled|theorem with a real cone, and nothing examined it — rows had no cone, no allowlist covered them, the statement digest does not reach instruments, and Phase 2b gates DECLARED AXIOMS, a different question. "Progress of one step, not two." DRV rows now carry their axiom cone and are pinned in driver-allowlist.txt by inventory_gate.sh with a DRV tag — the same implementation that pins the corpus, in both directions, because a second copy of a coverage gate is a second thing to drift. The axiom policy is per-surface and enforced per surface: the corpus admits exactly the sanctioned boundary, the instruments admit none, and an instrument axiom fails EVEN WHEN ALLOWLISTED. Verified with the reviewer's own payload, both placements: before the walk -> UNCLASSIFIED: DRV|…|bait.smuggled|theorem|Classical.choice,Quot.sound,propext after the walk -> ACCOUNTING FAILED names it (kernel-side) ── `drv-naming-heuristic` (claude, round 7) ──────────────────────────────── Retired as load-bearing rather than patched. The rule admits a theorem whose name extends a constant declared alongside it, and "breaks in one line" — declare `def bait`, then `theorem bait.smuggled` walks through. It stays as a fast readable first check; membership in a committed allowlist is what now carries the weight, and a new row fails closed whatever it is called. ── what round 11 caught, which was mine ─────────────────────────────────── DRV rows first shipped WITHOUT their originating driver. dalek and anza run two drivers, each declaring its own `corpus`; keyed on name alone those two distinct declarations produced one byte-identical row, `sort -u` collapsed them, and the trailers summed to 37 against 36. The estate had already learned this on the corpus walk — INV rows carry their module because two modules both declare CurveFieldProofs.zero_spec — and I rebuilt the record without it. Rows now carry their driver, and the gate FAILS CLOSED ON DUPLICATE RECORDS naming the collision: two declarations sharing one entry means one is covered by the other's, which is exactly how a real declaration hides. The trailer now checks what the drivers EMITTED, not what survives de-duplication — conflating "the run was truncated" with "two rows were identical" is what let a record-format defect present itself as an arithmetic complaint.

risc0-ed25519-verified
Formal verification of the ed25519 implementation in risc0/curve25519-dalek (RISC Zero fork, v4.1.3), built as a coherent proof pyramid in Lean 4 via the Charon/Aeneas transpilation pipeline:
┌──────────────────────────────┐
│ Signature (EdDSA verify) │ accepted ⇔ decompress(R) = [k](−A)+[s]B
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ Scalar arithmetic mod ℓ │ Scalar52 ops correct mod ℓ
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ Group law (twisted Edwards) │ point ops = complete addition law
├──────────────────────────────┤
│ Field 𝔽_p, p = 2²⁵⁵ − 19 │ FieldElement51 ops correct mod p
└──────────────────────────────┘
Every layer states its theorems about the actual Aeneas-transpiled Rust
code (never about a hand-written re-model), and every claim in the status
table below is backed by a compiled proof plus an axiom audit of the named
certificate. Files that do not compile under verification/check.sh are not
in this repository.
Layer status

Status legend: ✅ proven & axiom-audited · ⏳ in progress · ❌ not started.
This table is updated only when verification/check.sh passes for the layer.
The signature apex (phases 1 and 2)
The apex certificate CurveFieldProofs.verify_accepts_iff is the literal EdDSA
acceptance criterion, proven about the extracted verifier:
For a signature that parses, the verifier returns
Ok(())iff the recomputed compressed pointcompress([s]·B − [k]·A)equals the signature'sR, byte-for-byte — wherekis whatever scalar the opaque SHA-512 oracle produces from(R, A, msg).
The recomputation runs entirely through the proven model: the vendored ed25519-dalek verify glue is extracted as gen/CurveSig, whose
hand-maintained externals import gen/CurveField — every curve and scalar call
resolves by fully-qualified name to a proven definition. Only SHA-512 (a
single monomorphic sha512_hash3(R, A, m) oracle — this fork's sha2-0.10 stack
makes the incremental-hasher types untranslatable) and the wire-format types
stay opaque.
check.sh has a dedicated audit phase (Phase 3b) that fails the build unless
each apex-tier certificate's axiom cone is exactly
[propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound] + {ed25519.Signature, verifying.sha512_hash3, ed25519.Signature.to_bytes, signature.error.Error, signature.error.Error.new}
— i.e. the three Lean foundations plus the documented SHA-512/wire-format
boundary. Zero curve, scalar, or backend axioms. The companion certificate
verify_loop_full (the 32-byte comparison loop computes array equality)
carries the standard three axioms only.
Phase 2 (complete): the point-level lift. Phase 3b enforces the SAME axiom boundary on three further tiers that lift the byte equation to points:
| Tier | Certificate | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| half-lift | verify_accepts_iff_point |
accepted ⇔ R = the canonical encoding of [k]·(−A) + [s]·B (compress semantics + as_bytes canonicity + hash-to-scalar, recompute chain inverted) |
| point equation | verify_accepts_iff_point_eq |
for any valid on-curve Q canonically encoded by R: accepted ⇔ Q = [k]·(−A) + [s]·B as points (encoding-injectivity: d non-square + parity root-selection) |
| full lift | verify_accepts_iff_decompress |
R decompresses to a valid on-curve Pt, and accepted ⇔ Pt = [k]·(−A) + [s]·B — the constructive capstone |
The full lift runs through the extracted CompressedEdwardsY::decompress
itself, proven end-to-end: from_bytes parses the y-residue exactly below
bit 255 (from_bytes_spec), sqrt_ratio_i returns the even square root of
(y²−1)/(dy²+1) (sqrt_ratio_i_sq_spec, Fermat-exponent square root), and
the sign bit selects the x-parity (decompress_of_canonical, standard three
axioms). Byte comparison ↔ encoding equality ↔ point equality ↔
decompressed-point equality: every link is machine-checked over the
extracted code, and check.sh fails the build if any of the four tiers'
cones deviates from the boundary above.

The gen model is ONE merged universe (gen/CurveField: field + curve +
scalar + the verify path's reachable code), regenerated in full by
extract.sh. The scalar layer keeps its own check button:
./check-scalar.sh # compiles the merged gen + all scalar proofs (add, sub,
# Montgomery mul, byte-parsing) and kernel-audits the
# scalar certificates, incl. the scalarImplementation
