AIP-21: a record that reaches `post-quantum` shows that the commit quorum of distinct validators sealed the block
post-quantum in some round; it does not by itself prove that the block was decided (follows the AIP-22 erratum of the same
day). AIP-23: dated note on what the finality level rests on; level names unchanged. Three formal models carry a dated note
where they treated certificate uniqueness as a property of the code rather than of the model.

partition_safety_smt.py (N=9 f=2 q=6): split-brain imposibil, starvatie clasificata,
vindecare fara fork. anchor_viewchange_smt.py: o schimbare de runda pe ancora nu da
doua certificate valide diferite, si unicitatea vine din legarea de bloc, nu din K=3
sigilii (< cvorum). Rulatorul cablat: 35 modele, 282 PROVED + 149 CEX, 0 FAILED.
The public history carried kat/__pycache__/mlkem768_reference.cpython-314.pyc,
a compiled Python artifact embedding the operator's absolute local path. Text
secret scanners do not read compiled binaries, which is exactly how it slipped
through, and removing it from the tip would have left it reachable through the
old root commits. So this repository is republished from a single clean root.
This root also carries, from the previously unpublished line of work:
- corrected LICENSE year, LICENSING.md, VERIFY-POLICY.md, and
CITATIONS-UNRESOLVED.md remeasured 2026-08-11 (101 paths, README aligned)
- O-018: run_consensus_verification.py ran 19 of 29 models and reported PASS;
it now runs all 29, and computemarket_smt.py gains resolveByTimeout /
reclaimUnsettled cases plus a negative control
- O-006: the word 'audited' removed from next to Bouncy Castle, twice, after a
concurrent edit resurrected it
- O-014: prior art named and dated - Algorand's native falcon_verify shipped
about ten months before AERE's precompiles; the primacy claim is withdrawn
where it was implied
- bench/ scripts parametrized so they actually run for an outsider (the
earlier textual sanitization left $STAGING unexpanded inside Python strings)
- AIP-2/AIP-3 errata with measured figures, spec remeasurements at 2026-08-01,
and the spec-zk-stack retractions (owner is an operational key, not the
Foundation; 'maximally sound' withdrawn; aggregator V1 deprecated)
The redacted bench-host environment files from the sanitized line are kept
exactly as published; the unredacted local variants are not carried.
