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.

# Test harness for the Poseidon2-over-BabyBear width-16 permutation sub-component (port spec section
# 3, component (b)). Runs:
# 1. S-box structure: 7 is the smallest d>1 with gcd(d, p-1)=1 (so x^7 is a bijection on F_p); the
# monomial inverse round-trips over many random cases,
# 2. determinism: permute(s) == permute(s),
# 3. bijection: permute_inverse(permute(s)) == s over the fixed set + many random states (a genuine
# permutation on F_p^16), and no output collisions on a large sampled input set,
# 4. linear-layer / MDS structure: the external layer equals its explicit 16x16 matrix and that
# matrix is invertible; M4 is MDS (every square submatrix nonsingular); the internal layer equals
# R^{-1}*(J + diag(D)) and is invertible,
# 5. cross-language agreement: Python vs Node vs Java produce byte-identical permutation outputs on a
# shared input set (three independent implementations of the SAME permutation),
# 6. CONFORMANCE: the permutation reproduces real known-answer vectors (zeros / iota / testvec)
# emitted by executing the pinned p3-baby-bear / p3-poseidon2 0.4.3-succinct crates.
# Writes ../results/kat-results-poseidon2-babybear.json and exits non-zero on any failure.
#
# ============================ HONEST SCOPE (CONFIRMED 2026-07-19) ============================
# This validates the permutation LOGIC/arithmetic AND conformance to Plonky3. The port spec warned of
# the "two wrong copies agree" trap (a structurally-correct permutation with wrong constants is
# self-consistent yet disagrees with the prover). That trap is now closed: the constants + structure
# reproduce real known-answer vectors extracted from the exact pinned crates (checksums matched).
# - The 141 round constants are CONFIRMED (Xoroshiro128Plus::seed_from_u64(1) via new_from_rng_128).
# - The internal layer is CONFIRMED as R^{-1}*(J + diag(D)), R^{-1} = 943718400 (the Montgomery-form
# artifact recovered from the pinned library's exact 16x16 canonical matrix; the prior textbook
# state[i]*D[i] + sum was self-consistent but WRONG, exactly the two-wrong-copies trap).
# - ROUNDS_F=8, ROUNDS_P=13, M4, and the S-box degree are CONFIRMED.
# What is still NOT validated: the FULL STARK verifier. The duplex-sponge challenger, FRI folding,
# MMCS/Merkle openings, and the SP1 recursion-AIR are un-ported, so the top-level 0x0AE8 precompile
# stays fail-closed (returns EMPTY for every input) regardless of this component being confirmed.
