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 SAFETY invariants of AereHybridAuthorizer, the LIVE (mainnet
# chain 2800, deployed 2026-07-12) crypto-agility CONSUMER over AereCryptoRegistry, at
# 0x168F2A6a3071e7654CF1784a6f5d7BC8e1a582E0
#
# Contracts:
# contracts/contracts/pqc/AereHybridAuthorizer.sol (this consumer)
# contracts/contracts/pqc/AereCryptoRegistry.sol (resolveActive / verify it routes to)
#
# Style follows formal-consensus/spokepool_smt.py: PROVED = negation UNSAT under the
# exact Solidity guards; each proof is paired with a firing NEGATIVE CONTROL.
#
# TARGET INVARIANTS (from the build task):
# H1 ONLY AN ACTIVE SCHEME AUTHORIZES: any successful check verifies under an id
# whose status is ACTIVE (never DEPRECATED, never REVOKED). This reduces to
# resolveActive's postcondition: it returns ONLY an ACTIVE id.
# H2 A REVOKED id AUTHORIZES NOTHING: a REVOKED id with no ACTIVE successor makes
# resolveActive revert -> the fail-closed view returns false; a REVOKED id WITH
# an ACTIVE successor routes verification to the SUCCESSOR (an ACTIVE id), so the
# revoked scheme's verifier is never the one that authorizes.
# H3 RESOLUTION TERMINATES and is FAIL-CLOSED: the successor walk halts within the
# bounded number of rows (returns ACTIVE or reverts -- even on a cycle), and any
# revert (unknown / dead-end / cycle) is caught by checkAuthorized and reported
# as false. The default+preference resolution (algorithmFor) always feeds
# resolveActive a single reference id, so the whole pipeline terminates.
#
# ASSUMPTIONS (bound every PROVED):
# A1. Registry `verify(id,...)` is itself fail-closed and only returns true for an
# id whose status is ACTIVE or DEPRECATED with a real signature (its own
# fail-closed gate + the precompile oracle -- proven separately in the halmos
# R1 suite and cryptoregistry_smt.py). Here we model the routed verifier as a
# FREE boolean the adversary controls, EXCEPT it is gated by the routed id's
# status, exactly as AereCryptoRegistry.verify does.
# A2. resolveActive's loop bound (hops 0.._count) is the source's structural bound;
# we prove the pigeonhole soundness of the SuccessorCycle revert for a
# representative registry size and the general fail-closed composition.
# A3. Design model, not compiled bytecode (the halmos suite is the bytecode layer).
