Per the 7-reader didactic panel and BOOK-OVERHAUL-PLAN.md:
- front matter: box legend demoted below a lived example (the aha box
becomes its own legend entry)
- ch04: open on the stake (proof the size of a compiler), new section
'When you get stuck --- and you will' promoting the debugging session,
checkpoint now carries the omega cliffhanger forward
- ch06: open on the dare (invert 19 mod a 77-digit prime, two-digit
numbers only), machine-referee #eval after the Euclid box, checkpoint
distills the constant-time trade into one quotable sentence
- ch10: cold-open on the 12 GB crash, spec vocabulary re-armed at the
summit statement, falsification tryit after the 16p box (the -151
#eval), wall dispatch tied to the cold open, closing paragraph places
the certificate in the live log
- ch12: opening pyramid figure now carries question marks resolved
layer by layer through the chapter (suspense instead of spoiler),
kernel-wall rendered as a scene, 'Where you come in' promoted to its
own subsection, false 'closing chapter' removed
- appendix-toolkit: opens in the design-review room, Drill 7b (parity
argument), street assignment close
- appendix-walkthroughs: opens at the reader's low point, one-hole-one-
paragraph contract, counts replaced by 'trust the folder'
- appendix-repo-tour: active three-promise opener, sabotage-the-button
tryit, final tour stop at the transparency log
Build verified: tectonic clean, 118 pages, zero unresolved refs.

- pen-and-paper worked examples in all 12 chapters, using the REAL
constants throughout: 2^-64 waiting-time arithmetic, headroom budgets,
hand type-checking, rfl traces, full goal-state boards, the column-sum
audit at 2^54, inverting 19 mod p via Euclid, the x19 fold at real
weights, denoting p itself (telescope), the 16p audit (8 fails by 151),
the 254+11 inversion-chain bookkeeping, the substitution test, sizing
the 28-vs-1000 extraction, cofactor/torsion arithmetic, and the full
Bernstein-Lange completeness derivation
- CORRECTNESS FIX: ch7 asserted a false factorization of p-1; replaced
with the computationally verified p-1 = 2^2 * 3 * 65147 * Q (Q 71-digit
prime), witness w=2 verified for all four Pratt conditions
- every chapter's exercises now followed immediately by 'Solutions and
pathways' (pathway first, then answer), incl. new exercises
- NEW Interlude: a complete two-clause verification done entirely by
hand, then mapped line-by-line onto the compiled Lean proof
- NEW appendices: A pen-and-paper toolkit (8 recipe cards + drills +
answers), B guided walkthroughs of every exercise-file hole, C tour of
the real repositories; plus glossary, instructor notes, 13-week plan
- preamble: worked-example box, solution macros, math-safe inline code

- 53-page LaTeX/TikZ book (main.pdf + full sources): from zero background
to reading the real Ed25519/Pasta verification projects
- runnable exercises with sorry-holes + complete solutions for chapters
2-7, 9, 12; every solution file compiles clean (zero errors, no sorry)
against Lean v4.30.0-rc2 + Mathlib 5450b53e
- lake project pinned to the same toolchain/Mathlib the solutions were
verified with; students fetch the Mathlib cache, never build it
- honesty ledger in README: what was machine-checked and how
