## The application

killinchu is a **full left-nav application** at `/elite` in the unified SZL house style (dark ground, gold `#c9b787` + teal `#5fb3a3`, Space Grotesk + JetBrains Mono), with a **product switcher** in the top ribbon between the two live SZL products (a11oy · killinchu).

**Primary app file:** [`killinchu_elite_console.py`](killinchu_elite_console.py) · **served at** `/elite`.

**44 views** in the left navigation, plus **7 maritime/drone live demos** and a **live 3D health twin** (real-time WebGL organism view). Representative views:

| View | View | View | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| Live Track Board | Sensor-Fusion | Multi-Track Priority | ROE Editor |
| 13-axis Λ | 3-of-4 BFT | Beyond/Autonomy | Engagement Audit |
| DSSE Verifier | PQC Signing | Protocol Decoders | Geofence |
| Swarm Topology | Threat Class DB | Cross-Flagship | Mesh |
| Maritime Track | Vessel Fusion | Drone Demo Suite | **3D Health Twin** |

- **7 maritime/drone demos** — scripted live scenarios (interdiction, swarm, vessel track, geofence breach, BFT quorum, ROE deny, receipt replay).
- **Live 3D health twin** — real-time WebGL rendering of the killinchu organism, organs pulsing with live receipt/formula flow.

**Verify-it-yourself surface:** the app publishes its cosign public key at [`/cosign.pub`](https://szlholdings-killinchu.hf.space/cosign.pub) and exports verifiable DSSE receipts at `/api/killinchu/v1/receipt/export` — receipts are **real-DSSE-or-honestly-UNSIGNED**, never silently fabricated.

---

## What it does

**killinchu is the counter-UAS edge tool of the SZL drones & vessels product.** It runs where the mission happens — detecting, classifying, and evaluating hostile UAS tracks at machine speed, signing every interdiction decision with a DSSE Khipu receipt, and surfacing the result to a **human operator** before any action propagates.

This is the **Cannonico answer**: Defense Unicorns published the problem as "there's no independent system today that can monitor AI behavior in real time, catch the moment a line gets crossed, and back it up with a permanent, tamper-evident record." killinchu is that system — deployed in one signed UDS command.

Key capabilities:
- **Real protocol decoders (no mocks)** — Remote ID (ASTM F3411-22a), ADS-B (Mode-S 1090ES via pyModeS), MAVLink v1/v2 (pymavlink)
- **13-axis Λ-gate** — haversine geofence breach check fused with `yuyay_v3` score; decisions emit DSSE Khipu receipts in a real SHA-256 Merkle DAG
- **53 drone fingerprints** — pre-loaded drone signature library
- **ROE / policy endpoint** — `/roe/policy`, `/counter-uas/evaluate` (Anduril parity, live HTTP 200)
- **Competitive parity** — Anduril/defense endpoints live + differentiators (signed receipts, Λ-gate, BFT quorum) no competitor has

**Honest protocol note:** broadcast Remote-ID/ADS-B/MAVLink are unauthenticated and spoofable. Every decoded field is a *claim*, never ground truth. This is stated explicitly in `/v1/honest`.

---

## Quickstart

```bash
pip install "szl-killinchu"                     # PyPI
# or run the live, signed container:
docker run --rm -p 7860:7860 ghcr.io/szl-holdings/killinchu:uds-v0.2.0
```
```python
from szl_killinchu import Gate                  # one-liner to first signed verdict
gate = Gate.from_doctrine("v11")             # loads the LOCKED 749/14/163 posture
verdict = gate.evaluate(receipt)             # -> signed verdict + receipt id
```

## Verify it yourself

```bash
# 1. Confirm live doctrine posture
curl -s https://szlholdings-killinchu.hf.space/api/killinchu/v1/honest | jq .kernel_commit
# => "c7c0ba17"

# 2. Verify image signature + build-provenance attestation. SLSA L1 honest ·
#    L2 build-attested: container provenance via attest-build-provenance
#    (Sigstore keyless, Fulcio + Rekor). Verify with `cosign verify-attestation`.
#    SLSA L3 is roadmap; we do NOT claim L3 today.
cosign verify \
  ghcr.io/szl-holdings/killinchu:uds-v0.2.0 \
  --certificate-identity-regexp='^https://github.com/szl-holdings/' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer='https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com'

# 3. Inspect the public transparency-log entry for this image (Sigstore Rekor).
#    Image digest: sha256:dedfc3…718a
#    Rekor log index: 1710339915
rekor-cli get --log-index 1710339915
# Or open in a browser: https://search.sigstore.dev/?logIndex=1710339915

# 4. Exercise the counter-UAS evaluate endpoint
curl -s -X POST https://szlholdings-killinchu.hf.space/api/killinchu/counter-uas/evaluate \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"track":{"lat":32.71,"lon":-117.15,"alt_m":120,"vel_ms":25}}'
# => {"verdict":"CLASSIFY","lambda_score":0.73,"receipt_signed":true}

# 5. Deploy as part of the signed mesh bundle
uds-cli bundle deploy oci://ghcr.io/szl-holdings/szl-uds-bundle:uds-v0.2.0 --confirm
```

> Honest note: rule-engine receipts are now wired to the **real cosign DSSE** signer
> (`szl_dsse`). When the `SZL_COSIGN_PRIVATE_PEM` Space secret is present, each verdict
> carries a genuine `ECDSA-P256-SHA256` signature (keyid `szlholdings-cosign`), verifiable
> by `cosign verify-blob --key cosign.pub` and `POST /khipu/verify`. When the secret is
> **absent**, receipts keep a clearly-labelled placeholder — **no signature is ever
> fabricated**. The `/v1/honest` endpoint is the authoritative live posture probe.

**Full guide:** [developers/VERIFY.md](https://github.com/szl-holdings/developers/blob/main/VERIFY.md)

### Sign a verdict and verify it (real DSSE round-trip)

```bash
# Real ECDSA-P256-SHA256 DSSE over a verdict payload (PQC/hybrid also available).
curl -s -X POST 'https://szlholdings-killinchu.hf.space/khipu/sign?mode=ecdsa' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"verdict":"HALT","track":"TRK-0001"}' | jq .verified
# => true

# Cosign DSSE path (keyed) → cosign-CLI verifiable:
curl -s -X POST 'https://szlholdings-killinchu.hf.space/api/killinchu/khipu/sign' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"payload":{"verdict":"HALT"}}' | jq '{signed,keyid}'
# Round-trip verify with cosign:
#   cosign verify-blob --insecure-ignore-tlog --key cosign.pub --signature <sig> <pae-blob>
```

**Public proof:** cosign keyless cert (Fulcio) + Rekor transparency log entry
[`#1710339915`](https://search.sigstore.dev/?logIndex=1710339915) for image `ghcr.io/szl-holdings/killinchu:uds-v0.2.0` (`sha256:dedfc3…718a`).

## Repo map

killinchu is **flat-rooted** — most modules live beside `serve.py` (the boot entry +
route assembly). The table below is a **logical** "where things live" guide; the modules
listed already exist and run live. A user-visible surface is a self-contained module that
exposes `register(app, ns="killinchu")` and is registered **before** the SPA catch-all
(FastAPI matches routes in declaration order). Full table in
[`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md).

| Layer | Role | Representative modules |
|---|---|---|
| **entry** | boot + route assembly + SPA mount | `serve.py` |
| **showcase console** | the `/elite` operator console (44 views) + view pages | `killinchu_elite_console`, `killinchu_elite_wiring`, `*_view`, `killinchu_nav_wireup` |
| **decoders** | real protocol parsers (no mocks) | `killinchu_protocols`, `killinchu_kalman`, `killinchu_fusion`, `build_drone_db` |
| **counter-UAS logic** | geofence + 13-axis Λ-gate + ROE | `killinchu_drone_routes`, `killinchu_autonomy`, `killinchu_ops_control`, `szl_cuas_formulas` |

## Why killinchu vs Anduril Lattice

Lattice is a closed, proprietary autonomy OS. killinchu takes the opposite posture:
**open, formally-governed, and air-gap-deployable** — built for sovereign defense buyers who
must *audit* the decision path, not trust a black box.

| Dimension | **killinchu** | Anduril Lattice (public posture) |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing | **Apache-2.0, fully open source** | Proprietary, closed |
| Decision governance | **13-axis Λ-gate, formally specified (Lean); Λ = Conjecture 1, never overclaimed** | ML autonomy, internal |
| Verdict provenance | **DSSE-signed receipts in a SHA-256 Khipu DAG; `cosign verify-blob`** | Vendor-internal logging |
| Supply-chain attestation | **SLSA L1 honest · L2 build-attested (container provenance, Sigstore keyless); `cosign verify-attestation`; L3 roadmap** | Not publicly verifiable |
| Human authority | **Human-on-the-loop required; defensive scope locked in doctrine** | Human-on-the-loop |
| Protocol decoders | **Real ASTM F3411 RID / Mode-S ADS-B / MAVLink (no mocks)** | Proprietary sensor fusion |
| Honest posture | **`/honest` self-discloses every claim limit + unsigned/placeholder state** | Marketing-led |
| Deployment | **Single signed OCI image · Zarf/UDS air-gap bundle** | Appliance / cloud |
| Banned vendors | **Section 889 = exactly 5 (Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, Dahua)** | Compliant |

> killinchu is a **precision substrate**, not a turnkey weapon system. It governs and signs the
> *decision*; the operator and the platform own the *engagement* — under human authority, always.

## Governed Post-Determinism (GPD)

**Governed Post-Determinism (GPD)** is SZL's own framework. Classical systems demand that every correct node produce the *same bytes*; autonomous agents produce *different but still-correct* reasoning paths — so the unit of agreement shifts from "identical output" to **certified semantic admissibility**, and SZL proves that certification with a signed, Lean-anchored receipt.

Five pillars, each mapped to a component SZL runs in production with an honest proof artifact:

- **Protocol-Bounded Execution** — governed-decision loop + YUYAY 13-axis conjunctive gate (deny-by-default). *Gate soundness proven over the locked F-set.*
- **Verifiable Intent-to-Execution** — DSSE-signed receipt chain + Lean-theorem trace. *ECDSA-P256 signed, SHA-256 hash-chained, tamper-evident.*
- **Bounded-Recursion Control Plane** — Ouroboros bounded-recursion loop (P1–P6), following the estate's canonical bounded-loop pattern ([`ouroboros/src/loop-kernel.ts`](https://github.com/szl-holdings/ouroboros/blob/main/src/loop-kernel.ts) `runLoop`) and instilled here as the governed agent loop ([`szl_agentic_loop.py`](szl_agentic_loop.py), registered identically in a11oy + killinchu). *Loop invariants proven.*
- **Semantic Quorum Assurance** — Khipu BFT quorum + Wave23 conditional safety theorem (`khipu_quorum_safety_conditional`, agreement under non-equivocation). *Conditional theorem; unconditional Byzantine safety = Conjecture 2 (open).*
- **Epistemic State Replication** — YAWAR append-only receipt bus + deterministic replay + Verifiable Semantic Rollback. *Receipts/replay live; full ESR semantics = open R&D (roadmap).*

**Honest posture:** locked-proven = exactly 8 {F1, F4, F7, F11, F12, F18, F19, F22}; Λ (trust score) = **Conjecture 1** (unconditional uniqueness machine-checked false; conditional uniqueness holds); Semantic Quorum Assurance safety = Wave23 **conditional** (unconditional = Conjecture 2); full Epistemic State Replication = **open R&D**.

## 🔌 UDS Mesh — the nervous system

This product is part of the **SZL UDS mesh**: a trace + receipt substrate. Only two
products ship (a11oy, killinchu); the other nodes are roadmap **roles** (the retired

## Real-edge formulas (real-edge-v2)

Killinchu, the edge organ, runs five thesis-v22 formulas at the courier edge — each with a real
thesis citation and a real Lean theorem/obligation permalinked into `szl-holdings/lutar-lean`.
No mocks: every endpoint operates on caller-supplied telemetry; the verdict carries a real
DSSE-v1 ECDSA-P256 receipt.

| Formula | Edge role | Lean theorem (permalink) |
|---|---|---|
| **PAC-Bayes (Catoni)** | high-prob. upper bound on verdict risk → honest confidence | [`pacBayesBound_eq_add_slack`](https://github.com/szl-holdings/lutar-lean/blob/abd58d159f1bdb79a017d71a6b94ab160ead8d9d/Lutar/PACBayes.lean#L165) |
| **Kalman (numpy)** | constant-velocity smoothing of noisy drone telemetry | [`gain_in_unit_interval`](https://github.com/szl-holdings/lutar-lean/blob/f3153a684e7d9b77462d58185bd1eae0aeacd1bc/Lutar/Innovations/round11/FrontierKalmanGain.lean#L72) |
| **Byzantine quorum** | n≥3f+1 over 5 sensors, tolerate 1 byzantine fault | [`faultyCount` / Conjecture 2](https://github.com/szl-holdings/lutar-lean/blob/abd58d159f1bdb79a017d71a6b94ab160ead8d9d/Lutar/KhipuConsensus.lean#L116) |
| **Welford** | online variance for streaming Λ / z-score gate | [`welford_mean_exact`](https://github.com/szl-holdings/lutar-lean/blob/f3153a684e7d9b77462d58185bd1eae0aeacd1bc/Lutar/Innovations/round11/FrontierWelfordVariance.lean#L89) |
| **Bloom filter** | fast threat-signature membership (FN-free) | [`query_after_insert`](https://github.com/szl-holdings/lutar-lean/blob/f3153a684e7d9b77462d58185bd1eae0aeacd1bc/Lutar/Innovations/round11/FrontierBloomCacheBypass.lean#L77) |

**Endpoints**
- `POST /api/killinchu/v1/edge/verdict` — real telemetry → Λ ∈ [0,1] + DSSE receipt
- `POST /api/killinchu/v1/edge/track-smooth` — Kalman smoothing of a trajectory
- `GET  /api/killinchu/v1/edge/quorum-status` — Byzantine quorum on sensor fusion (5 sensors, f=1)
- `GET  /api/killinchu/v1/formulas/index` — wired formulas + thesis citation + Lean permalink

**Tests** — `tests/test_formulas_real.py` feeds real numpy-generated telemetry and asserts
Λ ∈ [0,1] and that every DSSE receipt verifies in-process; `tests/test_no_mock.py` greps the
non-test formula sources for `mock|fake|stub|dummy` and FAILS if found.
