Claim Boundary¶
All public claims must separate four layers:
- proof-system enforced hidden semantics
- protocol-level private payload semantics already demonstrated
- remaining public shell observables
- future aggregator-layer observability reduction
Current Truth¶
- bounded two-input direct-spend proof alignment is materially complete for current milestone
- direct-spend first hop and follow-on hop are live-validated
- proof/PBV1 carrier integrity is live-validated on runtime-authoritative path
Not Claimed¶
This repository does not currently claim:
- full system-level deployed zero knowledge
- hidden BCH graph topology on direct spend
- hidden shell economics on direct spend
- hidden repeated-update linkage on direct spend
Interim Compromise¶
- transparent supplemental economics support may be used when reserve is insufficient
- this is explicitly disclosed and is not hidden transfer semantics
Protocol Constraint¶
- miner fees are public
- shell carrier sats are public
- settlement topology is public on BCH L1
- reserve is consumed by public fee burn each hop
Unresolved Blocker¶
- no deployed direct-spend path yet for private reserve replenishment enabling sustained repeated no-top-up continuation.
