==== Removed (2026-11-05)

* *The PCC ReScript scanner (`tools/pcc/src/rescript_scanner.rs`) is
retired.* #107 removed the `.res` sources it read. The seven
frontend-wiring checks that used it report "retired" with the reason, and
are marked for manual repair, so `pcc panel repair` no longer plans
ReScript edits. An AffineScript scanner is tracked in #148.
* *The Gitea mirror is off.* `mirror.yml` no longer passes `GITEA_SSH_KEY`,
so the shared mirror workflow skips Gitea; the other forges are unchanged.

==== Added (2026-10-26 — every panel-backend command registered)

* *The IPC table in `+src-gossamer/src/ipc.rs+` now registers all 239

|Provenance tracking is complete (every action is recorded) and
unforgeable. Owner decision (2026-11-05): "unforgeable" means each
provenance record follows `EXHIBIT-B-QUANTUM-SAFE.txt`. The record holds
the author identity, a timestamp, a SHA3-256 content hash and, optionally,
a parent hash. It is serialised as canonical JSON, signed with ML-DSA-65
and witnessed, and verifies against keys published under
`.well-known/keys/`. Today's engine (git blame plus Co-Authored-By
trailers) is forgeable, so its output counts only as "claimed".

Script executed:

sed -n '150,175p' PROOF-NEEDS.adoc
printf '%s\n' '--- Exhibit B relevant requirements ---'
rg -n -i 'witness|ML-DSA|signature|public.?key|well-known|optional|alternative|key location' EXHIBIT-B-QUANTUM-SAFE.txt
sed -n '1,240p' EXHIBIT-B-QUANTUM-SAFE.txt

Repository: hyperpolymath/panll

Length of output: 6042

Align the provenance requirements with Exhibit B.

The provenance row says "unforgeable" means each record follows EXHIBIT-B-QUANTUM-SAFE.txt. The same row then adds three requirements that Exhibit B does not impose:

  • Witnessing is mandatory. Exhibit B lists witnesses as optional (section 3.2).
  • The signature must be ML-DSA-65. Exhibit B permits ML-DSA-65 or an approved alternative (sections 2.1 and 4.1d).
  • Keys must be published under .well-known/keys/. Exhibit B also allows OpenPGP keyservers and contributor websites (section 5.1).

A record that Exhibit B accepts can fail this row. Examples include a record without a witness, a record signed with ML-DSA-87, or a record whose key is published on a keyserver.

If the stricter rules are intended, define them as a separate PanLL profile and reference that profile. Otherwise, use the wording below.

Suggested fix 

-It is serialised as canonical JSON, signed with ML-DSA-65
-and witnessed, and verifies against keys published under
-`.well-known/keys/`. Today's engine (git blame plus Co-Authored-By
-trailers) is forgeable, so its output counts only as "claimed".

Review comment at @PROOF-NEEDS.adoc around lines 163 - 165:
Update the provenance wording to match Exhibit B: allow ML-DSA-65 or an approved
alternative under section 4.1, keep witnessing optional under section 3.2, and
accept key publication methods listed in section 5.1 rather than requiring
.well-known/keys/. Preserve the surrounding statement about today’s engine and
its claimed status.

This is correct that the row went beyond Exhibit B. The fix goes the other way from the suggestion, though. #174 implemented exactly this narrower profile: ML-DSA-65 only, at least one independent witness for verified, and keys only from .well-known/keys/. Making witnesses optional in the text would misdescribe the code.

#181 rewords the row to name it PanLL's profile of Exhibit B, cites §2.1/§4.1, §3.2 and §5.1 for each narrowing, and states the consequence: every record PanLL verifies satisfies Exhibit B, and some Exhibit B records verify only as claimed.

Update: #181 was closed as a duplicate of #180. The profile wording described above has been passed to the session driving #180, and the fix will land there.
