The published line and the local line of this repository had no common
ancestor: the public one carried the hygiene pass (no host names, no internal
paths), the local one carried a month of corrections that never shipped. This
commit ports the local work onto the public line, keeping the public hygiene
wording wherever the two touched the same sentence, and keeping the public
version of AERE-CROSS-CLIENT-DETERMINISM.md entirely.
Carried: LICENSE/LICENSING corrections, VERIFY-POLICY.md,
CITATIONS-UNRESOLVED.md remeasured 2026-08-11, the 'audited' adjective removed
from next to Bouncy Castle, citation paths rewritten to published form, AIP-8,
the QA consolidation report, the second EIP validation pass, fork-height
corrections, the AereSink / threshold-factory correction, the forge test
floor, and the architecture-map updates.
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.
