L0 Invariant Enforcement

All 5 L0 invariants from Ada kernel enforced at L2 boundary:

1. Plasma Gate (Ed25519 Signature Verification)

• Enforced by: seb_kernel_nif:append_event/4
• Specification: Event footer contains Ed25519 signature
• Verification: Ada kernel verifies at L0 gate
• L2 Bridge: NIF call pre-condition ensures signature_valid

2. Hash Chain Validity

• Enforced by: seb_kernel_nif:append_event/4
• Specification: event.footer.prev_hash == current_tip_hash
• Verification: Ada kernel maintains hash chain invariant
• L2 Bridge: NIF call guarantees hash chain monotonicity

3. Offset Monotonicity

• Enforced by: seb_agent_fsm (tracked in data record)
• Specification: new_offset > prior_offset
• Verification: FSM state maintains current_offset/prior_offset
• L2 Bridge: commit_offset/1 rejects non-monotonic offsets

4. Payload Hash Verification

• Enforced by: seb_kernel_nif:append_event/4
• Specification: blake3(header || payload) == footer.event_hash
• Verification: Ada kernel verifies at L0 gate
• L2 Bridge: NIF call pre-condition ensures payload_hash_valid

5. Segment Chain Linking

• Enforced by: seb_kernel_nif:verify_chain/0
• Specification: prev_seg_hash links to prior segment
• Verification: Full chain traversal from tip to genesis
• L2 Bridge: Periodic verification via verify_chain/0 call

---

Integration Points

L0 Kernel (Below)

• Interface: seb_kernel_nif (Erlang NIF)
• Contract: Ada kernel provides cryptographic primitives + invariant enforcement
• Dependency: libseb_kernel.a compiled
• Status: Assumes G2 complete

L4 Adapters (Above - TODO)

• Interface: execution_adapter behavior module
• Contract: Adapters implement exec/2 callback
• Extensions: HolyC, Shell, Browser, Chain, Financial
• Integration: Event routing via seb_partition_mgr → seb_datalog_bridge → adapters

Datalog Policy Engine (Sideway)

• Interface: Port driver to Souffle binary
• Contract: Stratified Datalog queries return authorization decisions
• Extensions: Custom policy rules via .dl files
• Status: Assumes Souffle available at deployment

Cluster Mesh (Distributed)

• Interface: Erlang distribution protocol
• Contract: Nodes connected via distributed erlang cookie
• Extensions: Multi-node agent distribution
• Status: Configured in vm.args, not tested at 3-node scale

---

Known Limitations

1. NIF Stubs

• seb_kernel_nif functions marked %% TODO: Replace with actual NIF call
• Actual implementation requires C code linking to Ada kernel
• Integration testing requires compiled libseb_kernel.a

2. Datalog Engine

• seb_datalog_bridge assumes Souffle binary path known
• Production requires Souffle setup + .dl policy files
• Query timeouts conservative (5000ms) for production optimization

3. Cluster Testing

• Distributed mode configured but not tested at 3+ nodes
• Requires proper networking + DNS resolution
• Cookie management critical for security

4. Monitoring

• SENTINEL telemetry hooks defined but not instrumented
• Production monitoring requires external metrics collection
• Log aggregation not configured
