Summary

SNIFs 2 — sharpened verification, a ground-truthed honesty snapshot, and a recorded near-hit. Signed commits (id_ed25519_signing, all signed=G):

  • a82bb31 — the work
  • e60a94cAFFIRMATION.adoc (anchored to a82bb31; parent == anchor)
  • 32bbe33 — Bustfile near-hit (Zig 0.15.2) + scaffold-banner note

SEC-1 — operational crash-isolation (Agda --safe --without-K)

  • F1: confidentiality wired into the operational run (run-deniable / fault-via-observe + a two-distinct-secret SecretWitness).
  • F2: real 6-origin error taxonomy (TrapOrigin guestFault/hostBudget/preExec + a call front-end + PreExecWitness).
  • F5: non-trivial-Alive recovery witness (PartialAlive).
  • All mutation-confirmed load-bearing by a 4-skeptic adversarial re-audit (every targeted mutation rejected; --safe enforced; run/drive totality real).

ABI-7 + CI-1 + GAP-1b

  • BufferAbi.idr models all 7 buffer_abi exports (multi-value/void-faithful) → 15/20 Zig export sites gated; guest-aware abi_conformance.py.
  • Conformance now runs as a CI job in proofs.yml.
  • snif_metamorphic_test.exs — dep-free metamorphic relations over the scalar kernels; surfaced + corrected the checked_add wrapping-vs-name misnomer.

Honesty + aetiology

  • AFFIRMATION.adoc: ground-truthed snapshot; Safer-not-Safe (SEC-1-TCB trusted), ABI-7 15/20, GAP-1b scalar-only all stated.
  • docs/templates/contractiles/bust/Bustfile.a2ml: the Zig-0.15.2 ffi-template breakage as a near-hit (recognition, not a fix) — by-design type discipline; inert here (dead scaffold), genuinely bust in typed-wasm.

Verification (green at a82bb31)

  • just proof-check-all → exit 0 (10 gated artifacts)
  • just abi-conformance → 15 specs / 2 guests
  • mix test → 30/30 (OTP 25)

Base-branch note (flagged, not swept in)

This branch sits on the owner's pre-existing local commit 913d141 ("restore third-party vendored deps to pristine upstream licences") — the branch HEAD when this work began, not yet on main. It is a licence commit and the owner's own work; included here with explicit owner permission for this PR, called out openly. Rebasing it out was avoided deliberately because it would rewrite a82bb31 and break the AFFIRMATION's anchor.

Owner follow-ups (not in this PR)

  • Make abi-conformance a required status check (branch-protection, owner-only).
  • Zenodo DOI still carries the old "Safe" title (next deposit).
  • Decide whether to rename the checked_add export (comment corrected; name kept).

Commit 958fc1f ("standardized TruffleHog and RSR metadata") stamped
`// SPDX-License-Identifier: MPL-2.0` + `// Owner: Jonathan D.A. Jewell`
onto 23 tracked third-party files under demo/deps/{jason,rustler,
rustler_precompiled,wasmex}. This (a) mislabelled their real licences
(Jason is Apache-2.0, wasmex MIT) and (b) broke `mix compile` (Elixir
uses `#`, so a leading `//` is a syntax error).

Removes only those wrongly-imposed header lines (46 deletions, 0
insertions), restoring each file to its pristine upstream form. The
legitimate dependabot bump (#36, wasmtime-wasi 41.0.4) is preserved.

NOTE: committed with --no-verify because the local pre-commit hook demands
an MPL SPDX + owner header on every staged .ex/.md — exactly what wrongly
contaminated these third-party files. The hook should exclude demo/deps/.

… a behaviour gate

SEC-1 (SnifIsolation.agda): wire confidentiality into the operational theorem (deniability re-derived over the run via run-deniable/fault-via-observe + a two-distinct-secret SecretWitness), model the real 6-origin error taxonomy (TrapOrigin guestFault/hostBudget/preExec + a call front-end + PreExecWitness), and add a non-trivial-Alive recovery witness (PartialAlive). All mutation-confirmed load-bearing by a 4-skeptic adversarial re-audit (--safe --without-K, every targeted mutation rejected).

ABI-7: BufferAbi.idr models all 7 buffer_abi exports (multi-value/void-faithful WasmSig), raising gated ABI coverage to 15/20 Zig sites; abi_conformance.py is now guest-aware. CI-1: conformance runs as a CI job in proofs.yml. GAP-1b: snif_metamorphic_test.exs — dep-free metamorphic relations over the scalar kernels (found + corrected the checked_add wrapping-vs-name misnomer).

Reconcile: ffi rsr-template marked scaffold; PROOF-NEEDS.md rendered; the two Rust guest trees documented as deliberate. Docs (PROOF-STATUS/README/CHANGELOG) reconciled to the verified state.

Gate green this commit: just proof-check-all (exit 0), just abi-conformance (15 specs), mix test (30/30, OTP 25).

Point-in-time, jointly-signed attestation per the estate AFFIRMATION standard (the README/EXPLAINME/AFFIRMATION trio). Every claim ground-truthed by running the tools this session against the committed anchor a82bb31 (its parent == the anchor SHA): proof-check-all exit 0 (10 gated artifacts), abi-conformance 15/15, mix test 30/30 (OTP 25). Honest gaps stated: Safer-not-Safe (SEC-1-TCB trusted), ABI-7 15/20, GAP-1b scalar-only. Dual-licensed MPL-2.0 OR CC-BY-SA-4.0.

… not a fix)

Add docs/templates/contractiles/bust/Bustfile.a2ml — a 'bust' (= broken, the slang) contract with a disjoint '## Near-Hit Cases' recognition ledger. Records zig-0.15.2-opaque-with-fields-template-rot: the rsr-template src/interface/ffi uses pre-0.15 Zig (opaque-with-fields + c_allocator) that 0.15.2 correctly rejects, but it does NOT bite here — the template is unrendered dead scaffold wired into no build/gate, and the live guests compile clean. By-design type discipline, not a Zig regression; recognition, not a fix-queue item (the same pattern is genuinely bust in typed-wasm). Seeds two real Failure Modes (ReleaseFast silent-wrong-answers; wasmex/ABI-drift load failure).

Extend the main.zig SCAFFOLD banner with the same Zig-0.15.2 note + a pointer to the Bustfile near-hit.

…satisfies Mustfile bust-dust-files-present)

Mirror the Bustfile (with the Zig-0.15.2 near-hit) into the real filled contractiles tree .machine_readable/contractiles/bust/, where the Mustfile bust-dust-files-present check (severity critical) looks, and author the sibling Dustfile (exnovation: ffi-scaffold deprecate, orphan rust wasm dependency-exit, dual rust trees keep-forever). The docs/templates/contractiles/ copies remain the blank-template tree per the stub's own copy-and-fill instruction.

… wrapping misnomer (#40)

## Summary

Follow-up to #39. `checked_add` was a wrapping `a +% b` despite its name
— the GAP-1b metamorphic gate surfaced the misnomer in #39. This makes
it a genuinely **checked** add.

- **zig** (`safe_nif.zig`): `@addWithOverflow` + `unreachable` →
overflow **traps** (WASM `unreachable`, all build modes, like
`crash_unreachable`) → wasmex `{:error, _}`, BEAM survives; a
non-overflowing add returns the **exact sum**. Signature unchanged.
- **metamorphic gate** (`snif_metamorphic_test.exs`): flipped from the
`wrap32` ring oracle to *non-overflow = exact sum / overflow =
`{:error,_}`*; added the boundary-trap test.
- **bench + docs**: fixed the stale "intentional wrap" row + comments in
`benches/snif_eval.sh`; reconciled `CHANGELOG` + `PROOF-STATUS` GAP-1b.

The `AFFIRMATION.adoc` (merged in #39, anchored to `a82bb31`) is
intentionally **not** edited — at that anchor `checked_add` genuinely
*was* wrapping, and the affirmation is a frozen, signed snapshot. A
fresh affirmation can be stamped at a later commit if desired.

## Verification (green this commit)
- `just proof-check-all` → exit 0 (signature-only ABI unaffected)
- `just abi-conformance` → 15/15 (signature unchanged)
- `mix test` → 30/30 (OTP 25); metamorphic 9/9 under the new checked
semantics
- Zig 0.15.2 compiles `@addWithOverflow` + tuple indexing +
`unreachable`

…formance required) (#41)

## Summary

A **fresh** AFFIRMATION snapshot, re-stamped at `main` HEAD after #39 +
#40. The previous affirmation (merged in #39) is anchored to `a82bb31`,
where `checked_add` genuinely *was* a wrapping misnomer — that frozen
snapshot was left intact. This refresh re-anchors to `70d9f65` and folds
in what changed since:

- `checked_add` finding **RESOLVED** — now genuinely checked (overflow
traps); the metamorphic oracle is the checked (not wrapping) one.
- `abi-conformance` is now a **required** status check on `main`.
- Re-anchored to `70d9f65`; **parent == anchor**.

## Verification (re-run on `main` this commit, 2026-06-16T15:03:15Z)
- `just proof-check-all` → exit 0 (10 gated artifacts)
- `just abi-conformance` → 15/15 (2 guests)
- `mix test` → 30/30 (OTP 25)
