Aere Network 6cb0140fae Republished from a clean root: the compiled artifact is gone from history, and the local line of work joins the sanitized public line
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This root also carries, from the previously unpublished line of work: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  about ten months before AERE's precompiles; the primacy claim is withdrawn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  Foundation; 'maximally sound' withdrawn; aggregator V1 deprecated)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.

# xmss-verify-core: offline-testable REFERENCE model of the per-validator inner
# logic of Aere Network's Post-Quantum Finality Certificate aggregation zkVM circuit.
#
# ZERO external dependencies on purpose: the RFC 8391 XMSS-SHA2_10_256 verification
# core (and its bundled dependency-free SHA-256) is validated against the OFFICIAL
# committed known-answer vector with `cargo test`, fully offline and deterministic,
# on any machine. A production SP1 guest replaces the bundled sha256 module with the
# SP1-patched `sha2` precompile crate (see ../../zk-light-client/guest/Cargo.toml);
# the bytes are identical.
#
# Empty [workspace] table so this crate is self-contained and is never accidentally
# pulled into a parent Cargo workspace (same convention as the SP1 guests here).
