The Quasar cert layers are the right cardinality of "Double Lattice +
Identity Rollup + optional Classical Fast-path", not "Triple Quantum":
BLS-12-381 classical fast-path (pairing) — empty in pure-PQ
Corona Ring-LWE threshold ML-DSA (luxfi/corona; production R-LWE)
Pulsar Module-LWE threshold ML-DSA (luxfi/pulsar; Class N1 byte-equal
to FIPS 204)
MLDSARollup per-validator ML-DSA-65 rolled into one STARK / Groth16 proof
(Z-Chain → P3Q)
"Triple Quantum" misled because BLS is classical — at most one of three
legs was quantum in the historic BLS+Corona+ZK shape. The honest PQ
cardinality is **Double Lattice** (Ring + Module). Pure-PQ profiles
drop BLS entirely and rely on Corona + Pulsar.
Corona is the academic R-LWE construction with trusted-dealer DKG;
it stays out of any open public-chain path. Corona is the production
Ring-LWE library (Pedersen DKG over R_q + proactive resharing).
Surface (in protocol/quasar/types.go):
QuasarCert.BLS → unchanged (classical fast-path, optional)
QuasarCert.Corona → QuasarCert.Corona (Ring-LWE threshold sig)
QuasarCert.MLDSAProof → QuasarCert.MLDSARollup (succinct identity rollup)
QuasarCert now also has a Pulsar field (Module-LWE threshold sig,
populated when wired)
QuasarSig.Corona → QuasarSig.Corona (also added Pulsar []byte)
FinalityEvent.Corona / MLDSAProof → Corona / Pulsar / MLDSARollup
New predicates:
QuasarCert.IsDoubleLattice() — Corona ∧ Pulsar (honest PQ count)
QuasarCert.HasClassicalFastPath() — len(BLS) > 0
QuasarCert.HasIdentityRollup() — len(MLDSARollup) > 0
The wire byte layout is unchanged (length-prefixed slots). Callers that
read the bytes don't notice. Source-level references that compiled
before the rename now compile against the new identifiers; bulk
rename swept the consensus repo (22 files, 219 insertions, 151
deletions) plus the engine/pq facing FinalityEvent.
Tests: GOWORK=off go test -short -count=1 ./... → all 28 packages green
(quasar suite 32s; integration 60s; no regressions).
Verified every protocol/*.go against its doc.go. Fixed all inaccuracies:
- README.md: rewrote to match actual code; removed bogus SDK claims
(C/Rust/C++ stubs presented as "100% test parity"), impossible
benchmark numbers (0.33ns Quasar Phase I = sub-clock-cycle), stale
version badge (v1.22.0 vs actual v1.22.84), wrong protocol
descriptions (nebula as "state sync", nova as "parallel chain"),
missing protocols (ray, field not listed)
- doc.go: stripped AI fiction (QZMQ, shared hallucinations, AI-powered
validation, Dilithium/Kyber naming), replaced with accurate Quasar
family description
- LLM.md: stripped 40KB of old session logs down to essential reference;
accurate protocol table, honest SDK status, measured benchmarks only
- docs/index.mdx: fixed nebula/nova labels, removed impossible benchmark
- protocol/nebula/doc.go: fixed "consensus utils" typo
- Remove unused packages: engine/dag/{getter,bootstrap,vertex/vertexmock},
engine/pq/{bootstrap,block}, core/{tracker,verify}
- Add sync.RWMutex to protocol/wave for thread-safe map access
- Increase engine/dag test coverage from 11.7% to 98.3%
- Add comprehensive tests for DAG consensus, vertex, and engine
- All 27 packages pass tests, 16 at 100% coverage
- doc.go: Convert spaces to tabs for proper Go formatting
- validator/validatorstest/test.go: Add validators import alias
- engine/chain/chaintest/test_blocks.go: Add consensustest import alias
- engine/chain/block/blocktest/test.go: Add consensustest import alias
These formatting fixes resolve all lint errors from golangci-lint.
- Fix SA4031 nil check error in engine/pq/consensus.go by replacing unreachable nil check with proper certificate validation
- Fix SA9003 empty branch error in engine/pq/engine_test.go by adding meaningful log statement
- Fix integer overflow G115 in quasar.go by avoiding conversion of addition result
- Separate deprecated GetSubnetID export to avoid SA1019 in main exports
- Format all Go files with gofmt
- All tests still passing with 100% success rate
