Post-Incident-Proofs

Transforms raw runtime telemetry into machine-checked forensic evidence—and proves that evidence can't be forged, lost, or silently falsified.

North-Star Outcomes

Component	Outcome	Success Metric
PIP-1	Tamper-Evident Logging Chain Lean-verified HMAC/counter ledger for every runtime event	100% of simulated log-tamper attacks detected in < 200ms; proof compiles < 3s

PIP-3	Versioned Rollback Invertibility Diff-patch pair proved apply ∘ revert = id	10k successive upgrades/rollbacks leave model bit-identical; Lean checker returns True
PIP-4	Auto-Generated Dashboards Grafana/Loki Dashboard Pack from Lean specs (alert expressions = theorems)	Dashboard JSON imports without edit; Prometheus rule fires on injected violation within 1s
PIP-5	Incident Bundle Generator ZIP with logs, Lean spec, proof hash, and HTML timeline	5MB cap for 24h window; accepted by SentinelOps auditor with zero schema warnings

Core Components

1. Tamper-Evident Logging Chain

  timestamp : UInt64
  level : LogLevel
  message : String
  counter : UInt64
  hmac : ByteArray
  deriving Repr

-- Chain integrity theorem
theorem counter_monotone (chain : List LogEntry) :
  ∀ i j, i < j → chain[i].counter < chain[j].counter

Features:

• HMAC-SHA256 signatures for tamper detection
• Monotonic counters prevent replay attacks
• < 200ms detection of any log modification
• Zero false negatives in tamper detection
• Lean-verified proofs of chain integrity

  end_time : UInt64
  rate_limit : UInt64
  window_size : UInt64

-- Correctness theorem
theorem rate_limit_enforcement (requests : List Request) (window : RateWindow) :
  let filtered = applyRateLimit requests window
  ∀ ip, countRequests filtered ip ≤ window.rateLimit

3. Versioned Rollback Invertibility

Diff/patch operations with proven invertibility and stress testing.

  | Replace : UInt64 → UInt64 → ByteArray → Diff

-- Invertibility theorem
theorem diff_invertibility (state : ByteArray) (diff : Diff) :
  applyDiff (revertDiff diff) (applyDiff diff state) = state

Features:

• Diff/patch algebra with formal proofs
• 10k cycle stress testing on large checkpoints
• Bit-identical verification after apply/revert
• Memory efficient for large state changes

  window_seconds : UInt64

-- Export tactic
macro "export_dashboard" spec:term : tactic => `(tactic| {
  let dashboard := generate_dashboard [spec]
  IO.println s!"Generated dashboard: {dashboard}"
})

Features:
