audit(echidna): reconcile ledger topology; land receipt/warrant semantics at Grade 3 - #122
1. Audit — what the ECHIDNA integration actually does today, checked
against docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc's forward-looking topology, and
reconciled with the estate's no-point-to-point VeriSimDB/VCL ledger
invariant. Graded against mathesis §5 and standards/3-practice/PROOF-POLICY.adoc.
2. Grade 3 proofs — the receipt/warrant semantics that the audit found
to be unformalised, now landed in Agda, plus the toolchain fixes that
landing them exposed.
The only live ECHIDNA path is a one-shot subprocess
(attempt.rs:387-409 → echidna prove …). All three Command::new
sites in src/ are accounted for; there is no socket, network or storage
client in the proof path and no async anywhere in burrower-core/src.
The CI echidna pin
(556d64687a8872026c81e4689ac3d574c7acc6ce) predates --output json, so
the live e2e exercises the legacy text branch while the contract path is
covered only by fake binaries.
Strict receipt validation is intact and unchanged (JCS byte equality,
schema exactness, full shape, failure-evidence-wins).
Receipt laundering on the read path. Receipts are written and never
read; ledger::read_all does no validation, so extra.receipt is trusted
on sight. Inert while Burrower is the only writer, live the moment a
second one exists.
Four point-to-point proposals narrowed: EI-2's --burrower <socket>,
EI-3's direct ledger writer, EBI-2's S3/vsdb:// backend, BI-3's shared
socket. Narrowed rather than implemented — the only VCL Rust client
(verisimdb-client) is async tokio+reqwest against a crate with no async
runtime that also targets wasm32.
EBI-3's numeric confidence threshold withdrawn — it contradicts
Mathesis §6 ("do not flatten proof confidence into a percentage") and §13
(agent-generated evidence is not independent corroboration). Replaced with
a receipt-backed rule.
BI-1 (serve.rs) was listed as both implemented and forward-looking. It
is implemented; replaced with an explicit status table.
Corrected the estate scanner's Idr-blv=6 to 0 — all six hits are
comments prohibiting the marker.
Grade 3 Agda — verification/proofs/agda/Burrow/
Trust.agda (DOM-1). A receipt is a validated warrant, not a second
kind of object — that identity is what makes demote-on-mismatch correct.
A two-world Kripke frame has the legacy marker genuinely firing while the
proof was not checked, so no-legacy-soundness and no-legacy-receipt
are theorems, not policy.
Ledger.agda (DOM-2).no-launder : ¬ (∀ {A} → StoredClaim A → A) —
there is no function from a stored ledger record to the fact. That is the
formal reason the read-path rule is a rule and not a convention.
Both follow hyperpolymath/epistemic-types5422cd5 as a pattern, never
imported. Neither uses K, so the Dedukti legs into Rocq and Lean are not
blocked by the proofs themselves.
Forced companion fixes
just proof-check-agda could not check a namespaced module. It passed
no include path, so agda rejected the module name (Burrow.Trust in Burrow/Trust.agda) with exit 42; it used bare --safe instead of the
estate canonical flags; and it discarded stderr with 2>/dev/null, which hid that failure. Now passes -i, uses --safe --without-K --cubical-compatible, surfaces warnings, prints errors
on failure, and cleans up the *.agdai files it generates.
*.agdai added to .gitignore.
ECOSYSTEM.a2ml no longer claims ijson-jcs as a git dependency; the JCS
implementation is serde_json_canonicalizer 0.3 (Cargo.lock:538).
CLAUDE.md now points at the normative 3-practice/PROOF-POLICY.adoc.
CHANGELOG.adoc and STATE.a2ml updated.
Correction found in review (T-9)
An earlier draft of the audit said src/interface/abi is absent, on the
strength of validate-template.sh erroring. That was wrong. The
directory is spelled src/interface/Abi and holds three real modules — Abi.Types (112 lines), Abi.Layout (128), Abi.Foreign (83) — with no believe_me, really_believe_me, assert_total or %default partial in
any of them. The failure is a case mismatch, and the Idris2 ABI layer is
therefore not the stub its "missing" status implied. Recorded as T-9 in the
audit rather than fixed: settling Abi versus abi also settles the module
names and downstream import paths, which is an owner call.
New finding (not fixed)
src/interface/ffi/src/main.zigdoes not compile. It holds 17
unexpanded RSR template placeholders (export fn {{project}}_init() …); zig test src/main.zig fails with expected '(', found '{'. Nothing in CI
or the Justfile builds it (Justfile:383 looks for build.zig at the root
or ffi/zig, neither matching src/interface/ffi/). Recorded in docs/proof-debt.adoc and STATE.a2ml. Left unfixed deliberately —
instantiating or deleting the FFI layer is an owner decision.
RSR Quality Checklist
Required
Tests pass (just test or equivalent) — just proof-check-agda locally; cargo test --locked --workspace + tests/e2e.sh green in CI on ca4bca3. See Testing for what is still unchecked.
Code is formatted (just fmt or equivalent) — no Rust changed; Agda has no formatter in the toolchain
Linter is clean — clippy not run (no Rust toolchain here)
No banned language patterns (no TypeScript, no npm/bun, no Go/Python) — all helper tooling was kept in /tmp, outside the repo, per mise.toml's estate policy
No unsafe blocks without // SAFETY: comments — no Rust changed
No banned functions — grepped verification/proofs/agda/Burrow/*.agda for believe_me|unsafeCoerce|Obj.magic|Admitted|sorry|postulate|TERMINATING: no hits
SPDX license headers present on all new source files
META.a2ml updated — the topology changes are narrowings of proposals, not landed decisions
Documentation updated for user-facing changes
CHANGELOG updated
New dependencies reviewed — none added
ABI/FFI changes validated — no FFI changes made, but this PR reports a case mismatch: the Idris2 ABI directory is src/interface/Abi, while scripts/validate-template.sh (lines 105, 193–195) looks for src/interface/abi. See the correction note below.
Testing
What was actually run (re-executed from a clean toolchain install before
this PR was opened):
Check
Result
just proof-check-agda
PASS, exit 0 — Ledger OK / Trust OK / Properties OK
Each module under --safe, --safe --without-K --cubical-compatible, --safe --cubical
Toolchain pins recorded per PROOF-POLICY §2.1: Agda 2.7.0.1
(2.7.0.1-cf6e2d9), agda-stdlib 2.4, Zig 0.17.0.
What was not run locally, and what CI ran instead. No Rust toolchain is
installable in the environment this was authored in (static.rust-lang.org, sh.rustup.rs and index.crates.io are all unreachable), so cargo clippy
and the 95% llvm-cov floor are genuinely unchecked. No Rust source is
modified by this PR, and the checklist box above is left unticked rather
than asserted.
cargo test --locked --workspacehas now run against this work, in CI. The Proof Safety job reached ca4bca3 — whose parent is ceabd82, so it
carries every substantive change in this PR — and completed both Build ECHIDNA and run Burrower unit tests (18:01:01Z–18:01:44Z) and Require real accepted and rejected Isabelle goals (18:01:44Z–18:02:22Z). Only the
later documentation-only commits have not been through it.
CI fragility found while reading those runs (T-10)
The same Proof Safety job failed twice on this branch, at 17:53:27Z and
18:04:08Z, and succeeded at 17:56:56Z in between — every time at Install checksum-verified Isabelle, never at a test. Both failures gave up
in ~64s, which is refusal by both mirrors (isabelle.in.tum.de, www.cl.cam.ac.uk) rather than a slow download, and in both the cargo test
step and tests/e2e.sh were skipped. So the estate's only real-prover
gate reports a red PR without having checked anything when either mirror is
down. Recorded as T-10; the remedy is CI-side (cache the checksum-verified
Isabelle artefact, or add a third mirror).
The remaining red check, governance / Allowlist Preflight, also fails on main at 3967326 and is therefore pre-existing.
Two further estate gaps this PR does not close: Creusot cannot be installed
(it needs opam plus a pinned nightly that conflicts with this repo's stable pin), so DOM-7 stays open; and Lean/Rocq/Idris2 are likewise
unavailable, so the second proof leg (Grade 2i/2ii) is not started.
… invariants
Audit what the ECHIDNA integration actually does at 3967326 against what
docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc proposes, and reconcile the planned ledger
topology with the estate's no-point-to-point VeriSimDB/VCL invariant.
Findings (docs/reports/audit/2026-11-01-echidna-topology-audit.adoc):
- The only live integration is a one-shot subprocess (attempt.rs:387-409).
Three Command::new sites exist in src/ and all three are accounted for.
No socket, network or storage client is in the proof path, and the CI
echidna pin predates --output json, so the live e2e exercises the legacy
branch while the contract path is covered only by fake binaries.
- Strict receipt validation is intact and unchanged: JCS byte equality,
schema exactness, full shape, failure-evidence-wins.
- Receipts are written and never read. read_all does no validation, so
extra.receipt is trusted on sight -- latent while Burrower is the only
writer, live the moment a second one exists.
- Four proposals are point-to-point and are narrowed: EI-2's
--burrower <socket>, EI-3's direct ledger writer, EBI-2's S3/vsdb://
backend, EBI-3's 0.8 confidence threshold, BI-3's shared socket.
- Narrowed rather than implemented: the only VCL Rust client
(verisimdb-client) is async tokio+reqwest against a crate with no async
runtime that also targets wasm32, and whether it can be depended on from
a public repo is unresolved.
- EBI-3's numeric threshold contradicts Mathesis S6 ("do not flatten proof
confidence into a percentage") and S13 (agent-generated evidence is not
independent corroboration); replaced with a receipt-backed rule.
- Corrected the estate scanner's Idr-blv=6 to 0: all six hits are comments
prohibiting the marker.
Also: point CLAUDE.md at the normative 3-practice/PROOF-POLICY.adoc as that
policy requires; fix the ijson-jcs dependency claim in ECOSYSTEM.a2ml (it is
serde_json_canonicalizer 0.3 per Cargo.lock:538, not a git dependency);
narrow the socket and shared-ledger claims in ARCHITECTURE and
SWARM-DESIGN-MEANDER.
No Rust code changed. cargo, clippy and the 95% llvm-cov floor were not run
here: no Rust toolchain is installable in this environment.

There was no Agda record of what Burrower's receipt and warrant levels
mean -- only a Rust Option<ProofReceipt> and a sentence in the ledger
explanation -- so nothing pinned down which operations on them are sound.
This is that record.
New, both warning-free under --safe, under the estate canonical
--safe --without-K --cubical-compatible, and under full --safe --cubical:
- verification/proofs/agda/Burrow/Trust.agda (DOM-1). A receipt is a
*validated warrant*, not a second kind of object; that identity is what
makes demote-on-mismatch correct. A two-world Kripke frame has the legacy
marker genuinely firing while the proof was not checked, so
no-legacy-soundness and no-legacy-receipt are theorems rather than policy.
- verification/proofs/agda/Burrow/Ledger.agda (DOM-2). no-launder proves
there is no function from a stored ledger record to the fact, which is the
formal reason the read-path rule is a rule and not a convention.
Both follow hyperpolymath/epistemic-types 5422cd5 (Warrant with deliberately
no Evidence -> A field, SoundWarrant as a separate assumption, a frame in the
style of Kripke.Belief). Copied as a pattern, not imported. Neither uses K,
so the Dedukti legs into Rocq and Lean are not blocked by the proofs.
Forced companion fixes:
- Justfile proof-check-agda passed no include path, so Agda rejected the
module name (Burrow.Trust in Burrow/Trust.agda) with exit 42; it used bare
--safe instead of the estate canonical flags, and it discarded stderr with
2>/dev/null, hiding the failure. It now passes -i, uses
--safe --without-K --cubical-compatible, surfaces warnings, prints the
error on failure, and cleans up the *.agdai files it generates.
- *.agdai ignored.
New finding, from installing Zig 0.17.0: src/interface/ffi/src/main.zig does
not compile. It still holds 17 unexpanded RSR template placeholders
(export fn {{project}}_init() ...); 'zig test src/main.zig' fails with
"expected '(', found '{'". Nothing in CI or the Justfile builds it
(Justfile:383 looks for build.zig at the root or ffi/zig). Recorded in
docs/proof-debt.adoc and on the roadmap; not fixed, because instantiating or
deleting the FFI layer is an owner decision.
Status: PROOF-STATUS now shows 2 of 14 obligations proven and names the
grade; docs/proof-debt.adoc moves DOM-1/2 to (a) Discharged and adds the Zig
residue; ROADMAP marks the first Grade 3 item done.
Verified: 'just proof-check-agda' PASS on all three modules, exit 0, re-run
from a clean toolchain install (Agda 2.7.0.1, agda-stdlib 2.4).
tests/aspect_tests.sh (PASS=2 FAIL=1) and scripts/validate-template.sh
(src/interface/abi) match their pre-existing baselines exactly.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Clarified how local proof records, integrations and proposed storage backends fit together, including limits on service access and future backend connections.
Updated the roadmap and proof-status documentation with outstanding work and verification results.
Added an audit of the integration topology and current proof status.
Tests
Added formal proofs describing how evidence is validated before it can support a receipt, and how unsupported claims remain unverified.
The pull request adds Agda proofs for warrant and receipt semantics, updates the Agda check target, and records proof status and debt. It also revises integration documentation to describe ledger topology, receipt revalidation requirements, and proposed CLI or nomination-based workflows.

Summary
Agda proof model and checker verification/proofs/agda/Burrow/*, Justfile, .gitignore, CHANGELOG.adoc, docs/reports/audit/2026-11-01-echidna-topology-audit.adoc
The Agda modules define warrants, soundness-backed receipts, and stored claims, with proofs that evidence alone does not establish a fact. The check target uses sorted paths and configured flags, reports compiler output, and removes generated .agdai files.
The documents identify ledger::Ledger as the single write point and describe CLI, nomination and backend constraints. They specify receipt revalidation and demotion requirements for records that fail validation.
The audit records integration decisions, tooling results and follow-up actions. The proof policy, debt record and status pages report two completed Grade 3 proofs and list outstanding obligations.
hyperpolymath/proof-burrower#119: Adds typed proof-reconciliation receipts and ledger evidence, which connects to this PR’s warrant-versus-receipt model and ledger validation documentation.
Merge Risk: Low · up to 6c98c
This change adds proof models and audit and integration documentation without altering runtime code. The proposed receipt re-validation rule cannot work as specified against the data the ledger stores, and some status documents contradict each other. These should be fixed before the designs are implemented, but they pose little immediate risk to production behaviour.

Prove warrant non-factivity instead of assuming it
When DOM-1 is used as evidence that an unvalidated warrant is non-factive, epi-is-not-factive cannot establish that property: its premise and conclusion are identical, so the implementation merely returns an already-supplied proof of ¬ (Epi A → A). Agda will type-check this tautology, but it does not prove the advertised absence of an elimination from a warrant to the fact; provide an actual counterexample or a suitably quantified impossibility theorem before recording DOM-1 as discharged.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Update the agent-facing proof status
For any subsequent agent session that follows CLAUDE.md, this newly added status says there are still 0 of 7 proven obligations and no Grade 3 theorem, while the same commit changes docs/status/PROOF-STATUS.adoc to 2 of 14 and declares DOM-1/DOM-2 Grade 3. This stale instruction will cause agents to plan and report against the wrong repository state, so it should reflect the status introduced by this commit.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Count DOM-7 as blocked in the summary
When consumers use this summary to track proof work, the Domain row reports zero blocked and five remaining even though the newly added DOM-7 entry is explicitly marked blocked and the text below says it is “blocked, not merely outstanding.” The Domain and total summaries should therefore count one blocked obligation and one fewer remaining obligation rather than presenting contradictory status totals.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Authenticate transported receipts instead of rehashing them
When the stated threat is a second writer or hand-edited ledger, shape validation plus recomputing result_id cannot distinguish a genuine ECHIDNA receipt from a forgery: ids::content_id is an unkeyed SHA-256-derived content identifier, so the writer can fabricate the fields and recompute the matching UUID itself. This only detects accidental corruption, not the receipt laundering described immediately above; transported receipts need authenticated producer provenance or renewed verification before they can be promoted.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Enforce the recorded Agda toolchain in the proof check
When a contributor has any other Agda or standard-library version installed, this recipe silently checks the proofs with that ambient toolchain even though the new Grade 3 records specifically attribute the result to Agda 2.7.0.1 and agda-stdlib 2.4, and the newly documented policy requires those versions to be pinned. There is no Agda entry in mise.toml, library file, or version check here, so a later PASS is not reproducible as the recorded proof result; invoke a pinned toolchain or reject versions other than the recorded pair.

Fail the proof check when Agda is unavailable.
If Agda is absent, this branch exits with status zero before checking either new theorem. proof-check-all can then complete despite an open proof obligation. Return a failure status rather than treating an unchecked proof as a successful check. Based on learnings: “Missing tools, incompatible dependencies or failed theorems are open obligations.

Retain the complete result needed to re-derive result_id.
ProofReceipt::from_result hashes the complete ProveResult, but the ledger stores only the reduced ProofReceipt. The stored value omits status, goal, duration_ms, and message, so a reader cannot reproduce the existing result_id. The documented validation rule can therefore demote genuine receipts.
Specify how to retain the hashed result and how to handle existing receipts that lack it. Apply the same correction to the audit and proof-debt documentation.

The audit reported that `src/interface/abi` is absent, on the strength of
scripts/validate-template.sh erroring. That was wrong. The directory is
spelled `src/interface/Abi` and holds three real modules -- Abi.Types (112
lines), Abi.Layout (128), Abi.Foreign (83) -- with no believe_me,
really_believe_me, assert_total or %default partial in any of them. The
checker at lines 105 and 193-195 looks for the lowercase spelling, so the
failure is a case mismatch and the ABI layer is not the stub its "missing"
status implied.
Recorded as T-9 rather than fixed: settling Abi versus abi also settles the
module names and any downstream import paths, which is an owner call.
Also reworded the Agda install note, which referred to a `src/data/lib`
path and tripped the Hypatia doc scanner into reporting a renamed directory
in this repo. It is the Agda distribution's own layout; now stated as such.

Remove the withdrawn socket from the implementation sketch
When EI-2 is implemented from this section, the behavior now explicitly forbids dialing a Burrower socket, but the implementation sketch at line 463 still directs the author to create an “optional client to Burrower socket.” Following that sketch would recreate the point-to-point integration this change is intended to withdraw; update it to describe a ledger reader/backend adapter instead.

Reconcile the debt ledger with the proofs it records
For anyone using this file as the proof-debt source of truth, this says the repository has an empty proof set even though the same file's lines 24–29 record DOM-1 and DOM-2 as discharged Grade 3 proofs. The adjacent necessary-axiom text and future-tense Grade 3 section carry the same pre-proof state, so the ledger gives contradictory guidance about whether those proofs exist; update the leftover pre-toolchain prose to reflect the two recorded proofs.

Add a ledger-read path before promising anti-pattern output
When echidnabot follows this proposed subprocess integration, burrower swarm --ledger cannot produce the advertised prior anti-patterns: the CLI passes the ledger to Swarm::route_with_ledger, which only appends each new reading (specialist.rs:573-603) and never queries existing records. The example's “most-recent ledger” result and the claim that EBI-1 has no dependencies are therefore unattainable without a new read/query path; specify that prerequisite rather than presenting the existing command as sufficient.

Reverify the proposed edit against the failing goal
When remediation mode is enabled, this rule can auto-open a PR merely because the edit has a receipt for a corpus-similar goal. That receipt establishes a result only for its original goal; similarity does not show that the edit compiles or proves the currently failing goal, and lines 607–609 explicitly reject evidence about other goals as corroboration. Require rerunning the proposed edit on the current goal and obtaining a receipt for that exact result, otherwise keep it comment-only.
ca4bca3 corrected docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc to say that
ledger::Ledger is the *intended* single write point rather than an enforced
one, since the JSONL file carries no lock. The audit made the same
overstatement at its adapter-seam list, so bring it into line.
The distinction is load-bearing for this audit: the receipt-laundering
finding is only inert *because* there happens to be one writer today, and
that is a property of the current source, not a guarantee the ledger
provides. Stating it as enforced would understate the reason the read-path
re-validation matters.

…T-10)
Reading the Proof Safety runs on this branch turns up two things worth
writing down.
The job reached ca4bca3 -- parent ceabd82, so carrying every substantive
change in this audit -- and completed both `Build ECHIDNA and run Burrower
unit tests` (18:01:01Z-18:01:44Z) and `Require real accepted and rejected
Isabelle goals` (18:01:44Z-18:02:22Z). So `cargo test --locked --workspace`
has in fact run against this work; the earlier note that it had not was
written before those runs were read. Only the doc-only commit a0e6c2d has
not been through it. `cargo clippy` and the llvm-cov floor remain unrun.
The same job failed twice on this branch, at 17:53:27Z and 18:04:08Z, and
succeeded at 17:56:56Z in between, all at `Install checksum-verified
Isabelle`. Both failures gave up in about 64s, which is refusal by both
mirrors rather than a slow download, and in both the cargo test step and
tests/e2e.sh were skipped -- so the job reports a red PR without having
checked anything. That is the estate's only real-prover gate depending on
two live upstream mirrors, with a failure mode indistinguishable from a real
proof regression. Recorded as T-10; the fix is CI-side.

Remove the stale no-proof roadmap item
The roadmap now says that any proof about Burrower remains undone, but the same change records two completed first-party Burrower proofs at lines 44–48 and in PROOF-STATUS.adoc. Anyone using this opening status paragraph to plan verification work will therefore be told that DOM-1 and DOM-2 do not exist; update this item to describe only the outstanding proofs.

Do not claim per-record impossibility from no-launder
no-launder proves only ¬ (∀ {A} → StoredClaim A → A), so it rules out one polymorphic extractor that works for every proposition; it does not show that no function exists for an individual stored record. For example, a StoredClaim ⊤ → ⊤ function exists trivially, and validated warrants are intentionally factive. Recording DOM-2 as a proof of per-record impossibility therefore overstates the theorem; narrow the claim to the absence of a universal extractor and the specific legacy counterexample.

Keep EI-1 partial until probes carry project imports
For project-specific goals, forwarding --project-root does not complete the Burrower side of EI-1: generate_probe still hard-codes imports Main in attempt.rs, and this document's own acceptance test says the project-theory case currently fails. Marking EI-1 implemented makes callers expect --project-root attempts to resolve project constants when they still cannot; retain a partial/proposed status until probe generation preserves or accepts the required imports.

Mark EBI-2 blocked in the primary status table
This summary classifies EBI-2 as proposed, but the stability table at lines 717–722 explicitly classifies EBI-2 as blocked by the backend seam, receipt revalidation, and dependency decision. Readers directed here as the per-item source of truth will therefore receive a different status from the detailed plan; remove EBI-2 from the proposed group and list it as blocked.

Two related pieces of work.

against

invariant. Graded against
mathesis§5 andstandards/3-practice/PROOF-POLICY.adoc.2. Grade 3 proofs — the receipt/warrant semantics that the audit found
to be unformalised, now landed in Agda, plus the toolchain fixes that
landing them exposed.

Install checksum-verified Isabelle, never at a test. Both failures gave upin ~64s, which is refusal by both mirrors (
isabelle.in.tum.de,www.cl.cam.ac.uk) rather than a slow download, and in both thecargo teststep and
tests/e2e.shwere skipped. So the estate's only real-provergate reports a red PR without having checked anything when either mirror is
down. Recorded as T-10; the remedy is CI-side (cache the checksum-verified
Isabelle artefact, or add a third mirror).
