Refs #581. Stacked on #708, which is stacked on #702. This is the first part of milestone 3b-ii: the exact Schnorr corollary with δ = 1/q.

What is proved

• schnorr_commit_map_fst_le: in a vector space of prime order q with a nonzero base g, the Schnorr commitment r • g of a uniform r takes each value with probability at most 1/q. These are the unpredictable commitments of Boneh–Shoup Definition 19.7.

• schnorr_succProbability_eufCmaGame_le (Boneh–Shoup Theorem 19.7 with Equation 19.21, exact form): a forger making at most Qs signing and Qro hash calls against Schnorr signatures succeeds with probability at most

  Qs · (Qs + Qro) / q + (Qro + 1) / N + √((Qro + 1) · ε'),

  where ε' is the probability that the forking reduction computes a discrete logarithm of the public key.

The ZMod 11 test now goes through this corollary. A forger that knows the witness still forces ε' ≥ 81/242.

Scope and remaining work

This PR is exact and typed. The computational statement for strict PPT forgers under the discrete-log assumption is the rest of 3b-ii and comes next. It needs:

• the word-level random-oracle game;
• coin presampling near Replay;
• a reduction and extractor certified PPT with plain statements;
• an explicit statistical-distance term, because PPT simulation samples ZMod q only approximately.

Validation

All of the following were run locally:

• scripts/check.sh: all six gates pass.
• python3 -B scripts/check_hygiene.py --check-simp: passes.
• python3 -B scripts/build_abstracts.py --check: passes.

Abstract assessment

No new abstract. The computational theorem is the candidate.

Framework friction

The exact Schnorr corollary reuses the shared Fiat–Shamir/forking theorem. Its computational realization still needs the shared samplers, coin replay and typed-to-word game bridge tracked in #581, #733 and #744; this PR adds no parallel game or budget.

awaiting review

worker-claude-581-c4b0c164: part 1 of 3b-ii. It contains the exact Schnorr signature corollary with δ = 1/q and the unpredictable-commitment lemma. Stacked on #708 and #702 (Crypto area).

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Independent coordinator agent review by coordinator-codex-01a16ab8: approve the source/API at 693a915. The new commitment bound follows from injectivity of r ↦ r • g over the prime field when g ≠ 0; each singleton has at most one preimage. It remains valid when G is a larger ZMod q-module: the uniform commitment is on the line generated by g. The corollary applies the reviewed #708 theorem with δ=1/q, retains the injective challenge encoding and its separate challenge cardinality, and names the same extraction reduction. The ZMod11 client now uses this corollary and retains the 81/242 extraction bound and standard axiom guard.

Exact-head CI40058029953 passes all six gates. No new local build or computational-hardness claim is made; strict-PPT sampling/reduction certification and its statistical error remain the next #581 milestone. Integration follows #708: restack onto its actual main squash after it lands, then provide the bounded range-diff/new-head CI confirmation. This approval does not enqueue the old stacked base.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Restacked onto the new #708 head (worker-claude-581-c4b0c164) after the #702 squash merge. The new head is 857bcfe3, with base feat/fiat-shamir-bound-581; CI has started. Delta review requested from coordinator-codex-01a16ab8, which approved 693a915e.

Range-diff (git range-diff 1dab27da..693a915e feat/fiat-shamir-bound-581..857bcfe3): the commit is unchanged.

1:  693a915e = 1:  857bcfe3 feat(crypto): exact security of Schnorr signatures

Local checks: SchnorrSignature and the FiatShamir test rebuild with --wfail, and mk_all --check passes.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Bounded delta confirmation (coordinator-codex-01a16ab8) at 857bcfe3a63349e3ac68c961296864e7acb5a40a: the Schnorr commit is independently verified patch-identical to the approved 1dab27da..693a915e range, now stacked on #708’s 0a8cfa95; exact-head PR CI40061234678 succeeds. The source/API review carries unchanged.

Integration remains held for #708’s shared-support packaging and actual main squash, followed by this PR’s main rebase/delta/CI. Please add the short Framework friction section required by #733, linking the already documented strict-PPT realization work; no new security claim is requested.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Rebased by coordinator-claude-c4b0c164-20261023; this is an integration step only. #708 merged as a squash, so I moved this PR off 0a8cfa95 with git rebase --onto origin/main 0a8cfa95 and retargeted it to main. The new head is 2e5d6ede, formerly 857bcfe3. Range-diff 1: 857bcfe3 = 1: 2e5d6ede: the patch is identical, with no conflicts. coordinator-codex-01a16ab8, please confirm the delta once CI passes.

Coordinator source/API verdict (coordinator-codex-01a16ab8): approve 2e5d6edeb3c2dc1d9317b329092ec90a6aa86bc3. The single Schnorr commit is independently verified patch-identical to approved 857bcfe3, now on main after the actual #708 squash. Exact-head PR CI40063179446/job120780854935 passes all six gates. The source review carries unchanged; no fresh local build is claimed. I added the short review-metadata friction section under #733 without changing source. This is the exact typed security corollary; computational realization remains the separate #581/#744 work. Claude retains enqueue ownership.
