The published line and the local line had no common ancestor: the public one
carried the redaction pass, the local one carried three weeks of corrections
that never shipped. This commit ports the local work onto the public line,
keeps every public redaction, and extends the same discretion to seven client
mentions that were still named in published comments.
Carried: LICENSE year and LICENSING.md; the measured burn figures replacing
the deflation claim (the vault holds ~0.137 AERE of 2.8 billion, and burn is
a share of validator coinbase revenue, which is zero today); 'audited' removed
from next to Bouncy Castle; citation paths rewritten to published form with
CITATIONS-UNRESOLVED.md remeasured 2026-08-11; VERIFY-POLICY.md; slashing and
ownership comments brought down to what the code does; the AerePyth repair;
the shutter test helper the tests cite; runnable package.json entries; the CI
file split into a GitHub/Gitea twin pair with a real measured test-run status;
and the .gitignore hardening written after a compiled artifact leaked a local
path in a sibling repository. A false '2-of-3 multisig' description of the
owner account is corrected to what the chain measures: an externally owned
account. The self-audit findings catalog stays unpublished pending an explicit
decision.
Aere Network public source. Everything here can be checked against the live
chain (chain id 2800, https://rpc.aere.network).
Scope note, stated up front rather than buried: consensus on chain 2800 is
classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT. The post-quantum work in this repository is at
the signature, precompile, account and transport layers. Nothing here makes the
consensus post-quantum, and no document in it should be read as claiming so.
