Power House is a deterministic verification and provenance system for portable
computational identities.

`.pha` artifacts provide self-verifying identity containers with deterministic
fingerprints that bind proof data, provenance metadata, and verification state.

Rootprint provides a directed acyclic graph (DAG) for identity lineage,
branching, merging, replay, navigation, and equivalence verification.

Current release: **v0.3.7**

The primary workflow is **Power House Identity + Rootprint**:

- **Identity** provides immutable create, fork, merge, verify, replay, and
  equivalence operations over `.pha` and Rootprint.
- **Power House Archive (`.pha`)** binds proof data and provenance to a
  deterministic `phx_fingerprint`.
- **Rootprint** provides verifiable navigation, forks, merges, and equivalence
  over `.pha` core identities.
- **External proof attachments (EPA)** are optional transport data and remain
  outside the Power House core fingerprint and Rootprint branch identity.
- **Observatory sidecars** optionally bind human-readable semantic packets to
  verified Rootprint replay state without changing proof identity.

## Quick Start

```bash
cargo add power_house
```

```rust
use power_house::{prove_with_rootprint, provenance::PhaArtifact};
use serde_json::json;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let artifact = PhaArtifact::new(
        json!({"producer": "example"}),
        "power-house/example/v1",
        json!({"claim": 7}),
        json!({"accepted": true}),
    )?;

    let graph = prove_with_rootprint!(
        label: "main",
        artifact: artifact,
    )?;
    graph.verify()?;
    Ok(())
}
```

Install the `julian` CLI with the network feature:

```bash
cargo install power_house --features net
```

The primary identity commands are:

```bash
julian identity create main.pha --label main \
  --identity-output main.identity.json \
  --rootprint-output proof.rootprint.json
julian identity verify main.identity.json proof.rootprint.json
julian identity replay main.identity.json proof.rootprint.json
```

## Human-Observable Proofs

[`slbit`](https://crates.io/crates/slbit) is an independent zero-dependency
crate for luminous claims, semantic transcripts, and visualization packets.
Power House remains the verification and provenance authority; `slbit` adds
human-readable meaning beside it.

```bash
cargo add power_house
cargo add slbit
cargo run --example slbit_observatory
```

The optional sidecar can be verified offline:

```bash
julian observatory verify \
  proof.rootprint.json \
  proof.observatory.json
```

See the [Power House + slbit Observatory guide](docs/slbit.md) for the complete
Rust workflow, schemas, trust boundary, browser rendering, and conformance
vectors.

## Verification Profiles

| Profile | Public statement | Verifier path | Reproduce |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Constant sum-check | `2^70` Boolean points | 70 field rounds | `cargo run --release --example sextillion_verify` |
| Seeded affine sum-check | `2^4096` Boolean points | 4,096 field rounds | `cargo run --release --example hyperscale_affine` |
| Seeded sparse certificate | `2^1,000,000` Boolean points | `O(n + I log n)` deterministic replay | `cargo run --release --example sparse_record` |
| Committed sparse workload | External `PHSMv1` + `PHCPv1` files | Commitment-bound deterministic replay | `cargo run --release --example committed_workload` |
| Portable provenance | `.pha` core + Rootprint DAG | Fingerprint and graph replay | `cargo run --example rootprint_workflow` |

Here `n` is the number of variables and `I` is the number of nonzero variable
incidences. The proof modes operate on compact algebraic descriptions and do
not allocate the expanded Boolean hypercube.

## Core Formats

| Format | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `.pha` v1 | Portable proof, public inputs, provenance, and core fingerprint |
| Rootprint v1 | Deterministic proof-history graph with forks and merges |
| Observatory sidecar v1 | Non-core binding from replay state and branch IDs to semantic packets |
| `PHSPv1` | Seeded sparse polynomial certificate |
| `PHSMv1` | Canonical external sparse polynomial |
| `PHCPv1` | Certificate bound to a `PHSMv1` commitment |

Rust and Python consume the same canonical vectors under `conformance/`.
Mutation tests require core changes to reject while proving that EPA mutation
does not alter Power House core validity.

## Reproduce

```bash
cargo fmt --check
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --all-features --no-deps
cargo test --all-targets --locked
cargo test --all-targets --features net --locked

cargo run --example pha_conformance_vectors
cargo run --example slbit_conformance_vectors
cargo run --example rootprint_workflow
cargo run --example slbit_observatory
cargo run --release --example sextillion_verify
cargo run --release --example hyperscale_affine
cargo run --release --example sparse_record
cargo run --release --example committed_workload

PYTHONPATH=sdk/python python3 -m unittest discover -s sdk/python/tests -v

The complete procedure and expected rejection behavior are documented in the
[Verification Guide](docs/verification_guide.md).

## Python SDK

The bundled zero-dependency Python SDK defaults to pure Power House + Rootprint:

```python
from power_house import create_artifact, new_rootprint, verify_rootprint

artifact = create_artifact(
    {"source": "python"},
    "power-house/example/v1",
    {"claim": 7},
    {"accepted": True},
)
graph = new_rootprint("main", artifact)
verify_rootprint(graph)
```

EPA helpers require an explicit secondary import:

```python
from power_house.external import attach_external_proof
```

See [SDKs](docs/sdk.md) for installation and interoperability tests.

## Network And RPC

The optional `net` feature enables libp2p transport, signed envelopes, data
availability services, governance policies, stake accounting, migration tools,
and a quorum-finalized native JSON-RPC lane.

| Public network | Value |
| --- | --- |
| RPC name | **LAX MFENX RPC** |
| Chain ID | `177155` (`0x2b403`) |
| Canonical endpoint | `https://rpc.mfenx.com` |
| ChainList endpoint | `https://rpc.mfenx.com` |
| Status | `https://mfenx.com/status.html` |

The production edge uses health-aware global routing across validators in
New York, San Francisco, and Amsterdam. Public traffic is rate-limited at
Nginx and removed from a backend automatically when `/healthz` fails. Signed
validator registrations bind each admitted public key to its derived peer ID
and live identity metrics; validator totals are not inferred from peer links.

```bash
julian net start \
  --node-id validator-1 \
  --log-dir ./logs/validator-1 \
  --blob-dir ./data/validator-1 \
  --listen /ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/7001 \
  --policy ./configs/governance.stake.json \
  --quorum 2 \
  --evm-chain-id 177155 \
  --evm-rpc-listen 127.0.0.1:8545 \
  --key ed25519://<seed>
```

Use `scripts/test_native_rpc_cluster.sh` to verify replica finality and
`scripts/check_rpc.py` to run the external publication gate.
