Aere Network 4a0b48588c Initial public release
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.

#
# SMT proof (z3) of the VERSION-MONOTONICITY + APPEND-ONLY + committed-version and
# one-shot-receipt state invariants of AereVectorStore, verifiable semantic memory
# for AI agents. Plus load-bearing NEGATIVE CONTROLS for the attest version-bound,
# the append-only history, and the one-shot paid-query receipt.
#
# Contract: contracts/contracts/agentic/AereVectorStore.sol
#
# A store owner appends VERSIONED commitment roots; a retrieval provider attests
# "for this query against committed version V, resultRoot", backed on a priced store
# by a one-shot AERE402 payment receipt. The safety-critical state invariants:
# VM. VERSION MONOTONICITY. commit() sets version = s.version + 1 and s.version =
# version, so a store's version strictly increases by exactly one per commit;
# commitCount is likewise monotone.
# AO. APPEND-ONLY HISTORY. _versions[storeId] is push-only; a committed version
# entry is never rewritten or deleted (no admin, no owner override, no upgrade).
# CV. RETRIEVAL AGAINST A COMMITTED VERSION. attestRetrieval reverts unless
# 1 <= version <= s.version (UnknownVersion), so an attestation always references
# a real committed store state.
# R1. ONE-SHOT RECEIPT. On a priced store the payment receipt is consumed at most
# once (r.consumed guard, then r.consumed = true) and only by its bound provider
# (r.provider == msg.sender, the L2 fix), so a paid retrieval cannot be double-
# spent or front-run.
#
# Method: model version updates and the append relation as first-order constraints
# and prove each property by asserting its NEGATION under the real guards (UNSAT).
# The append-only history uses the standard "writes only push" relation over an
# uninterpreted index->value function (as in recovery_registry_smt / credential_
# registry_smt). Each NEG-CTRL removes exactly one guard and shows the attack becomes
# SAT. This checks the DESIGN-level state logic, NOT the compiled EVM bytecode.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED below):
# A1. Post-quantum store commit AUTHENTICITY is the Falcon-512 precompile (0x0AE1)
# verifying commitChallenge; that fail-closed PQC auth is a precompile-return
# property [VERIFY], a trusted primitive here, not re-proved (see spokepool /
# cryptoregistry models for the precompile-return checks).
# A2. paidQuery settles on the LIVE AERE402 facilitator and forwards the delta-
# measured receipt; that fund-flow is external and trusted here. This model
# covers the receipt STATE machine (one-shot + provider-bound), not the rail.
# A3. Merkle inclusion (verifyVectorInclusion / verifyResultInclusion) rests on
# keccak256 / OpenZeppelin MerkleProof soundness [VERIFY], not modelled.
