Implements ADR-0243 §2 honestly per the plan's deviations ledger, correcting the §3 sketch's three pinned defects (SD-A/B/C): - Ingress delegates superposition to sensorium_wave_feed, normalizes once at the owned construction boundary (D-3). - Relaxation is the imaginary-time semigroup psi <- normalize(exp(-(H-lam0)*dt)*psi) (D-1) with a certified, never-assumed convergence certificate (D-2): exact ground energy, achieved Rayleigh energy, eigen-residual, spectral gap, and a psi_digest binding the certificate to the exact state it certifies. - Two checkable problem domains: quadratic_well (convex target-decoding) and propositional (Cl(4,1) blade lattice = assignment lattice of <=5 atoms; diagonal penalty Hamiltonian; entailment via UNSAT(premises & !conclusion) scored against independent truth-table gold). - Egress composes unit-amplitude-density + certificate-binding + versor closure (routes, does not admit, per the dual of SD-A) + ADR-0006 energy classes + E0/E1 crystallization policy. Cold states emit a CrystallizationProposal (epistemic_status pinned SPECULATIVE by the type; D-5/I-03) — never a vault write. - Quarantined off-serving (A-04): lazy barrel export, banned in the transitive subprocess probe and the cohesion AST suite. Adversarial verification (finder/verifier workflow; most verify agents lost to a session limit, every surviving finding reproduced in-tree before acting) surfaced and this closes two real defects beyond the plan text: - egress_gate admitted any unit state paired with any converged certificate from an unrelated run, so CrystallizationProposal could package a foreign psi_digest next to an unrelated certificate_id as false provenance. Fixed by binding the certificate to its state (psi_digest) and refusing mismatches (certificate_state_mismatch). - A state with a spectral gap below the requested tolerance could certify with ZERO ground-space overlap (energy window alone can't resolve it). Certification now also requires the excited weight (E-lam0)/gap <= tol (refusal spectral_gap_below_tolerance), and the degeneracy cluster is capped at the acceptance window so certificates report the honest rate-limiting gap instead of absorbing a hairline split. 38 tests (31 original + 7 hardening: certificate-binding must-reject, gap-refusal + true-ground pair, dense-branch (eigh) refusals, iterate-collapse, Hamiltonian/egress shape must-rejects, E2 hold route, hardcoded canonical entailment verdicts independent of the gold function's code shape). [Verification]: lifecycle+pins+cohesion+transitive 58 passed; in-worktree smoke 176 passed (131s); fast lane 11750 passed, 108 skipped (574s, exit 0). |
