theory: an append-only ledger of the theory work - #80
This PR adds the ledger of the theory shelf. The owner ruled on it on 2026-11-11 and asked for it in its own PR after WO 4.1.
The working documents state only the present. The ledger keeps the story of the theory work. It holds one entry for each admission, each withdrawal, and each change of receipt pin, admission or derived grade. An entry can carry a note.
The ledger is append-only. Only just theory-ledger writes it. CI fails when the ledger is behind the current state. CI also fails when a past entry differs from main.
Changes
docs/theory/ledger.jsonl: the first entry admits THY-1. Its note tells the story so far: the Agda proof, the Rocq and Lean re-proofs, the step from PWG-2ii to PWG-1, and the blocked transport route.
scripts/registry/theory-ledger.mjs:
folds the ledger into the current state of each theorem;
computes the entries that bring it up to date;
checks its form, including each receipt pin (null or exactly {path, sha256, commit});
checks that the ledger on main is a prefix of this one;
verifies it offline against the admissions and the claim pins. Each live entry needs both an admission and a claim pin.
claims-registry.mjs:
a new ledger subcommand appends the pending entries;
check fails when the ledger is behind, or when a past entry differs from main.
check reads the base over HTTPS from raw.githubusercontent.com, the same way the registry reads receipts. A 404 means main has no ledger yet. Any other failure fails the check.
just theory-ledger "note" is the only writer. just registry-check, which is part of just check, also runs the offline verify.
must contract: a new clause, theory-ledger-current (critical). You approved its text through the selector before it landed. The coaptation receipt is regenerated, and the band stays amber.
Tests:tests/registry/theory-ledger.test.mjs has 5 tests with negative controls:
a malformed ledger, including malformed receipts;
an edited past entry and a lost entry;
a stale admission, a missing theorem, a leftover theorem and a theorem with no claim pin.
Other files: the deed (variant (paths :added)), the theory README, the ROADMAP and the repository map are updated.
Defects found and fixed
The first version fetched main with git fetch --depth=1. In a full clone, that made the clone shallow, so git could no longer see the history behind the tip of main. This session saw it happen and repaired its clone with git fetch --unshallow.
SonarCloud (S4036, S2871, S3358, S3776) and Hypatia (js_exec_sync) flagged two things: the git subprocess and three style faults in the new code. Commit 1743628 removes the subprocess, so the check now reads over HTTPS and never touches the local clone. It also adds an explicit sort comparator and splits pending().
CodeRabbit found 4 defects, and commit 9bb363f fixes all of them:
the receipt check accepted {} and arrays;
a live entry with no claim pin passed;
the committed-ledger test assumed PWG-1 for every theorem;
the admission-hash test compared against entry 1, not the folded state.
The new negative controls fail on 1743628 and pass on 9bb363f.

Testing
Run in this session on main881f9f5 plus this change:
just registry-check: "the theory ledger is current and append-only (1 entries)". The offline verify passes, and the 22 tests pass.
just check-views passes. All seven Mathesis must probes pass.
These checks pass: validate-claude-md, validate-coapt, validate-state, validate-rsr, validate-repo-map and census-test.
The canon deed lint and the k9 validator pass. 175 AsciiDoc files render clean. The ledger is I-JSON/JCS.
A second run of the writer appends nothing.
CI on 9bb363f: the job "Agda, Rocq and Lean in the pinned Guix" passed. That job runs just check, so the HTTPS read of the ledger on main worked in CI.
Owner rulings 2026-11-11: one authored admissions file; an append-only
ledger written only by a recipe; a CI check for a stale ledger or an
altered past entry; a must clause that states the invariant (text
approved by the owner); JSON Lines; its own pull request after WO 4.1.
- docs/theory/ledger.jsonl: one entry for each admission, withdrawal,
or change of receipt pin, admission or derived grade, with an optional
note. The first entry admits THY-1 and tells its story so far.
- scripts/registry/theory-ledger.mjs folds the ledger, computes the
entries that bring it up to date, checks its form, checks that the
ledger on main is a prefix (append-only), and verifies it offline
against the admissions and the claim pins.
- claims-registry.mjs: a `ledger` subcommand appends the pending
entries; `check` fails when the ledger is behind the derived state or
a past entry differs from main (the base is fetched; a failed fetch
fails the check). `just theory-ledger "note"` is the only writer;
`just registry-check` also runs the offline verify.
- must contract: theory-ledger-current, severity critical. The
coaptation receipt is regenerated.
- tests/registry/theory-ledger.test.mjs: 5 tests with negative controls.
- Deed (variant (paths :added)), the theory README, the ROADMAP and the
repository map follow.
Observed in this session: just registry-check (22 tests pass; the
ledger is current and append-only), check-views, the seven Mathesis
must probes, validate-claude-md, validate-coapt, validate-state,
validate-rsr, validate-repo-map, census-test, the canon deed lint and
k9 validator, 175 AsciiDoc files render clean, the ledger is
I-JSON/JCS. A second run of the writer appends nothing.

The change adds an append-only theory ledger for theorem admissions and subsequent changes. Registry commands can append pending entries and check ledger currency and history. An offline verification command checks ledger consistency against current claims and admissions.

Summary
Ledger model and validation scripts/registry/theory-ledger.mjs, tests/registry/theory-ledger.test.mjs
Adds ledger entry validation, state folding, pending-entry generation, append-only checks, offline verification, and tests for these behaviors.
Adds the ledger command to append pending entries and extends check to reject pending entries or changes to prior ledger lines. Adds a theory-ledger recipe and runs offline verification from registry-check.
Ledger record and repository guidance docs/theory/ledger.jsonl, .machine_readable/contractiles/must/must.k9.ncl, .machine_readable/coaptation/receipts/latest.toml, docs/theory/README.adoc, docs/status/ROADMAP.adoc, mathesis_chora.deed
Adds the initial THY-1 admission record, the theory-ledger-current invariant and updated receipt, and documentation of the ledger workflow and status.

hyperpolymath/mathesis#76: Establishes the coaptation receipt and must invariants updated by this change.
The ledger and its checks work for the current state, but two registry tests will fail after a legitimate grade change or admission edit, blocking just registry-check until the tests are fixed. The offline verification also has two small validation gaps. Fix these before merging, or accept them explicitly as follow-ups.

Explanation
The title names the main change, an append-only ledger for the theory work. The changeset adds docs/theory/ledger.jsonl, scripts/registry/theory-ledger.mjs, a ledger subcommand in claims-registry.mjs, and a just theory-ledger recipe. The title is concise and specific. It omits the CI checks and the must clause, which is acceptable.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the summary, the specific changes, the testing performed, and most of the RSR quality checklist. It explains the append-only ledger, the new theory-ledger.mjs logic, the claims-registry.mjs changes, the just theory-ledger writer, the must clause, the five tests with negative controls, and the deed, README, and ROADMAP updates. The Testing section names the commands run, the results, and the CI job that passed. The template's Required items are mostly checked, with the Tests item citing 22 registry tests. The RSR checklist omits several items that apply to this change, including Code formatted (just fmt), Linter clean, and the SPDX check for the modified (non-new) files. The As Applicable list also leaves out the deed status or maturity field, which the author did not state, and the CHANGELOG item. The Screenshots section is marked not applicable, which is acceptable. The description is substantially complete, so the check passes.

…tia findings
- claims-registry.mjs: the append-only check reads main's ledger from
raw.githubusercontent.com, as the registry reads receipts, instead of
running git in a subprocess (Hypatia js_exec_sync, SonarCloud S4036).
A 404 means main has no ledger yet; any other failure fails the check.
The local clone is no longer touched at all.
- theory-ledger.mjs: an explicit UTF-16 comparator for the id sort
(S2871) and the JCS key sort (S3358); the per-theorem comparison of
pending() moves to entryFor() (S3776).
Observed in this session: just registry-check passes (main's ledger is
404, so every entry is new; 22 tests pass); a second writer run appends
nothing; no child_process use remains under scripts/registry.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @scripts/registry/theory-ledger.mjs:
- Line 161: Update the final check over state.keys() to require each live ledger
ID to match an admitted home-theorem claim row, rather than only checking byId
admission presence. Reuse the claim-row IDs and admission validation from the
surrounding logic so every live entry has a claim pin and its admission hash is
checked.
- Line 92: Update the receipt validation using need and RECEIPT_FIELDS to reject
arrays and require path, sha256, and commit; validate each value’s type and
enforce the expected SHA-256 digest format before accepting the entry.
Review comments at @tests/registry/theory-ledger.test.mjs:
- Line 65: Update the admission hash assertion in the theory-ledger test so it
compares each current admission with the corresponding latest state produced by
fold(ledger), not the original ledger entry; alternatively, use a fixed
synthetic admission to test hashing independently of ledger updates.
- Line 16: Update the committed-ledger test’s grades map so it uses the actual
current grades rather than assigning every theorem PWG-1; keep synthetic grades
confined to grade-transition tests, and let the existing registry check
determine grade currency.

- validateLedger: a receipt is null or exactly {path, sha256, commit},
with a non-empty path, a 64-hex SHA-256 and a 40-hex commit. An empty
object, an array or an extra field now fails.
- verifyOffline: each live ledger entry must also have a claim pin, not
only an admission.
- The committed-ledger test takes its grades from the folded ledger, so
a recorded grade change does not fail it; grade currency stays with
`just registry-check`. The writer test keeps synthetic grades.
- The admission-hash test compares each admission with the folded
ledger state, not with entry 1.
New negative controls fail on the previous code and pass on this one.
