## Reproduction commands

The release separates mathematical verification, inherited regression, source-to-certificate reconstruction, performance experiments, and externally hash-gated experiments.

### Core current theorems and certificates

```bash
./run_core_verification.sh
```

Expected final line:

`CORE THEOREM VERIFICATION: PASS`

### Inherited v8 exact regression suite

```bash
./run_legacy_regression.sh
```

Expected final line:

`LEGACY V8 REGRESSION: PASS`

### Combined theorem verification

```bash
./run_verification.sh
```

Expected final line:

`UPGRADE THEOREM VERIFICATION: PASS`

### Rebuild the real IAPWS pressure–entropy spline and proof objects

```bash
./run_iapws_rebuild.sh
```

This independently rebuilds the rationalized local Q43 coefficients from the included IAPWS Region-1 source implementation, checks coefficient identity with the archived result, regenerates all 16 proof objects, and verifies them with the standard-library-only full-cell verifier.

Expected final line:

`IAPWS REBUILD AND INDEPENDENT PROOF VERIFICATION: PASS`

### Performance experiments

```bash
./run_benchmarks_upgrade.sh
```

Expected final line:

`UPGRADE BENCHMARKS: PASS`

### Full reproduction

```bash
./run_all.sh
```

This runs all self-contained theorem checks, the inherited exact regression suite, the IAPWS source-to-certificate rebuild, and performance experiments. It requires no network access.

## External Timmes table

`helm_table.dat` is deliberately not redistributed. `run_external_timmes.sh` refuses to analyze any file whose SHA-256 is not exactly

`c9a57c26c6fd2b2b378b9d5295ca1214022f6fec6289d038b47bf8c8938881a1`.

Usage:

```bash
./run_external_timmes.sh /path/to/helm_table.dat
```

The resulting claim is limited to the formal Helmholtz reconstruction/channel mismatch documented in `REAL_EOS_VALIDATION.md`; it is not a claim that the production sound-speed channel itself returns negative G.

## Independent proof objects

The current standard-library-only verifier accepts full local Q43 coefficient matrices and recomputes all seven trace polynomials itself:

```bash
python src/tiny_full_q43_verifier.py certificates/iapws_region1_q43/cell_00_00.json
```

It returns only `VERIFIED SAFE`, `VERIFIED UNSAFE`, or `INVALID CERTIFICATE`.

## Exactness policy

Finite grids, floating-point optimization, and random testing are never used as proofs of continuous claims. They are used only for diagnostics, benchmarking, or adversarial bug discovery. Exact certification uses rational arithmetic, Sturm/root-isolation logic, rational Bernstein bounds, exact symbolic identities, and exact matrix/minor calculations.

## Formal verification status

No Lean, Coq, Isabelle/HOL, HOL Light, or Agda executable was available in the audit environment. `formal/Q43SevenSkeleton.lean` is therefore an implementation-oriented skeleton, not an accepted machine proof. Formal verification remains **NOT VERIFIED**.

## Publication-policy note

The scientific package is engineered to near-submission standard. The mandated submitted-work byline is preserved exactly. Current policies of several principal target publishers require authors to be human/accountable and do not permit AI systems to be listed as authors; `PUBLICATION_READINESS_REPORT.md` and `TARGET_JOURNAL_ANALYSIS.md` treat this as a real submission-eligibility constraint rather than editing it away.
