zeekay de38f9e5da consolidate: merge pulsar-mptc submission framework into canonical luxfi/pulsar
Single repo, one canonical impl + spec + proofs + KAT + cut tool.

Per "ONE and ONLY ONE way to do things" the prior dual-repo split
(luxfi/pulsar = production library, luxfi/pulsar-mptc = NIST MPTC
submission framework) is collapsed into a single canonical home at
github.com/luxfi/pulsar. SINGLE-IMPL-PLAN.md (now marked COMPLETED)
describes the steps; this commit lands the final step.

Files moved (89 new):
  16 submission docs (SUBMISSION, NIST-SUBMISSION, SPEC, SUITE,
     PATENTS, AXIOM-INVENTORY, PROOF-CLAIMS, FIPS-TRACEABILITY,
     TRUSTED-COMPUTING-BASE, HANZO-CRYPTO-SUITE, INFORMATION-
     ARCHITECTURE, ROADMAP, CHANGELOG, SYNC-STATUS, STATUS-
     SUBMISSION-READINESS, SINGLE-IMPL-PLAN)
  10 docs/ supplements (ietf-draft-skeleton, magnetar, evaluation,
     patent-claims, x-wing-sig, design-decisions, family-architecture,
     threat-model, nist-mptc-category, patent-notes-draft)
  19 proofs/ (13 EC theories + 2 EC lemmas + 4 metadata/READMEs +
     lean-easycrypt-bridge.md)
  14 jasmin/ (lib/* + ml-dsa-65 fetch + threshold/{combine,round1,
     round2}.jazz + READMEs)
  10 ct/dudect/ (Makefile, combine_ct.go, dudect_combine.c,
     dudect_compat.h, dudect_verify.c, fetch.sh, README, run-
     submission.sh, verify_ct.go) + ct/jasmin-ct-libjade.md
  1 .github/workflows/ci.yml
  1 test/interoperability/n1_class_test.go (19/19 N1 subtests)
  1 bench/results/REPORT.md
  11 scripts/ (cut-submission, check-high-assurance, check-lean-
     bridge, nightly, extract-jasmin-ec, checks/{ec-admits, ec-
     compile, ec-refinement-scaffold, ec-regressions, extraction,
     jasmin}, checks/test/{go-unit, interop, kat, no-secret-logs})

Files merged (16 overlapping, mptc-canonical chosen because newer +
post-rewire-correct; pulsar versions still bore stale "Pulsar-M" /
"pulsarm" branding):
  README.md, BLOCKERS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, LICENSING.md,
  SECURITY.md, .gitignore, bench/run_all.sh, vectors/dkg.json (v1.0.7
  regen), scripts/{bench,build,gen_vectors,sbom,test}.sh,
  spec/{pulsar,parameters,system-model}.tex,
  CRYPTOGRAPHER-SIGN-OFF.md (path refs).

Pulsar-only spec supplements preserved:
  spec/{blockers,design-decisions,family-architecture,nist-mptc-
  category,patent-notes,threat-model}.tex.

Path rewrites applied: 158 occurrences across 26 files
  github.com/luxfi/pulsar-mptc -> github.com/luxfi/pulsar
  ~/work/lux/pulsar-mptc/      -> ~/work/lux/pulsar/
  luxfi/pulsar-mptc            -> luxfi/pulsar
  pulsar-mptc/                  -> ./

Narrative collapses (no more two-repo framing):
  SUBMISSION.md "At a glance" — single Repository row
  SYNC-STATUS.md — rewritten to single-repo state
  SINGLE-IMPL-PLAN.md — marked COMPLETED 2026-05-18
  HANZO-CRYPTO-SUITE.md — tier 1 row = single canonical home
  scripts/cut-submission.sh — replace/vendor dance removed; cuts
  directly from in-tree canonical sources

go.mod: dropped mptc's replace directive (no longer needed since this
IS the canonical pulsar repo). Module path is github.com/luxfi/pulsar.
Deps: cloudflare/circl v1.6.3, golang.org/x/crypto v0.32.0.

Test vectors

Two formats per NIST MPTC submission norms:

  • kat-v1.json — input/output vectors per MPTC §IO-Testing. Each entry is a single threshold ceremony with full (n, t, party_seeds, public_params, shares, commitments, preprocessing_transcript, message, per_party_messages, final_signature, verify_result, abort_evidence).

  • kat-v1.rsp — CAVS-style response file for compatibility with legacy ACVP-inspired tooling. One signature per stanza, deterministic from a 48-byte seed.

transcripts/ holds full-protocol KATs for (n, t) sweeps — transcripts/n3-t2.jsonl, transcripts/n7-t5.jsonl, etc. — each line a complete protocol run.

Cross-validation against FIPS 204

The headline interchangeability claim (Class N1) requires every final_signature in kat-v1.json to verify against unmodified FIPS 204 ML-DSA.Verify(pk, message, signature) returning accept. The cross-validation harness at test/interoperability/ runs each KAT through:

  • the reference implementation in ref/go/
  • the FIPS 204 reference (Dilithium pq-crystals C reference)
  • a third independent ML-DSA implementation (BoringSSL FIPS or OpenSSL 3.0 PQ provider, whichever is available)

A KAT mismatch with any of the three is a release blocker.

Determinism

Every entry in kat-v1.json is reproducible from master_seed (a 48-byte hex value at the head of the file). scripts/gen_vectors.sh must produce byte-identical output on any fresh checkout. Drift here is a CI failure.

Status

  • KAT generator (ref/go/cmd/genkat) — implementation pending
  • First v1 KAT set
  • FIPS 204 cross-validation
  • Independent-impl cross-validation
  • Encoded into vectors/transcripts/ for (n, t) ∈ {(3,2), (5,3), (7,5), (10,7), (16,11), (32,21)}
