section DecapsCT.

declare module MD <: CTDecaps.

(* Decaps is the most CT-critical routine. An adversary submitting
   chosen ciphertexts to a decapsulation oracle can extract bits of
   sk via timing of the FO-K re-encryption check. The CT obligation:
   the trace of decaps depends only on PUBLIC inputs (parameter set
   and ciphertext) but NOT on the secret key.

   ML-KEM uses implicit rejection: if the FO-K re-encryption check
   fails, decaps returns J(z, ct) instead of aborting. The two
   branches (accept and reject) must be:
     (a) timing-indistinguishable;
     (b) memory-access-pattern-indistinguishable;
     (c) data-equally-derived (otherwise the implicit-reject branch
         would be detectable by simply observing the output bit
         pattern).

   The Lux implementation in `~/work/lux/crypto/mlkem/mlkem.go` wraps
   circl's mlkem768.Scheme.Decapsulate; the underlying circl code
   uses libjade-quality CT field arithmetic and a CT FO-K check.
   The empirical CT property is validated by the dudect harness at
   `~/work/lux/crypto/mlkem/ct/dudect/`. *)
