NPA / Certificate-first proof checking

தமிழ்: NPA: expose the proof evidence boundary before trusting a result.

தமிழ்: This page reconstructs the NPA section from Math Lab as an independent evidence page: public status, trust model, proof pipeline, claim register, repositories, sources, and explicit non-replacement language.

தமிழ்: Inspect the trust boundary தமிழ்: Open GitHub repository

பொது நிலை: ஆராய்ச்சி repository; தமிழ்: Shown as research and implementation, not as a production assurance service.
பொது மறுசரிபார்ப்பு: 2026-07-02 / NPA v0.2.0; தமிழ்: Latest git tags checked: npa v0.2.0, npa-std v0.1.0, npa-mathlib v0.1.30.
உரிமம்: Apache-2.0; தமிழ்: Apache-2.0 was verified for npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib on 2026-07-02.

தமிழ்: Public recheck: 2026-07-02. The NPA repository latest git tag is v0.2.0; npa-std is v0.1.0; npa-mathlib is v0.1.30. Package README pins are shown as repository-specific context and are not flattened into one NPA version claim.

தமிழ்: NPA evidence page preview showing certificate checking and trust-boundary inspection — தமிழ்: The visual is a static preview of the certificate-checking result and trust-boundary explanation. It is not a live NPA trace.

Public status

தமிழ்: State what is public, what is evidence, and when it was rechecked.

தமிழ்: This page makes the page's basis visible: a local truth snapshot, a public repository source, and the final prelaunch readback date.

பொது நிலை

தமிழ்: Research and implementation repository

தமிழ்: The GitHub repository is public, but this page describes a research and implementation repository, not a deployed service.

Public recheck

2026-07-02

தமிழ்: The public-source readback was completed on 2026-07-02. The original source reconstruction still uses the 2026-06-21 local truth snapshot.

Evidence

Certificates and hashes

தமிழ்: The source snapshot records canonical .npcert, certificate_hash, export_hash, axiom_report_hash, and checker verdicts.

License

Apache-2.0 verified

தமிழ்: Apache-2.0 was verified for npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib through public LICENSE metadata on 2026-07-02.

Boundary

தமிழ்: NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq. The distributed browser inspection simulation does not run NPA itself. Public tags, license, and repository visibility were checked on 2026-07-02 for the final publication readback.

Trust boundary

தமிழ்: Move only a canonical certificate across the evidence boundary.

தமிழ்: The boundary is not about which tool looks sophisticated. It is about which artifact is allowed to become evidence after independent checking.

தமிழ்: Parser, elaborator, tactics, automation, theorem search, plugins, AI systems, source files, replay files, theorem indexes, publish plans, CI status, release pages, and registry metadata stay on the untrusted candidate side.

தமிழ்: Proof pipeline / explanatory simulation

தமிழ்: Show the exact pipeline from certificate bytes to checking evidence.

தமிழ்: The browser simulation does not run NPA itself, Rust, WASM, or real proof certificates. It visualizes the source-free checking order that real artifacts must satisfy.

Claim register

தமிழ்: Separate evidence, time-sensitive facts, and boundary claims.

தமிழ்: The page does not depend on loose research copy. Each public statement is tied to a local truth snapshot, a source, and a publication action.

தமிழ்: Claim	தமிழ்: Public wording	நிலை	தமிழ்: Source	தமிழ்: Publication action
CL-001	தமிழ்: NPA is certificate-first: the auditable boundary is the canonical .npcert artifact and the checking path around it.	தமிழ்: Verified public claim	S01 / 2026-07-02	தமிழ்: Review when the README changes.
CL-002	தமிழ்: The 2026-07-02 public recheck found the NPA repository latest git tag at v0.2.0. Related package READMEs still show repository-specific pins, so version wording stays scoped by repository.	தமிழ்: Verified public recheck	S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02	தமிழ்: Keep tag wording scoped by repository.
CL-003	தமிழ்: The local truth snapshot records a Rust 1.95.0 toolchain pin; it is not used as a marketing claim.	தமிழ்: Verified, time-sensitive	S01 / 2026-07-02	தமிழ்: Recheck if the toolchain version is displayed.
CL-004	தமிழ்: NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq. This boundary must stay visible beside any comparison.	தமிழ்: Verified boundary claim	S01 / S03 / S05 / 2026-07-02	தமிழ்: Retain the disclaimer.

CL-006	தமிழ்: The npa, npa-std, and npa-mathlib repositories each expose Apache-2.0 licensing through their public LICENSE metadata.	தமிழ்: Verified public claim	S01 / S02 / 2026-07-02	தமிழ்: Recheck LICENSE on a major release.

Repositories and license

தமிழ்: Keep code, package repositories, and organization visibility explicit.

தமிழ்: Clarify roles before comparing proof tools.

தமிழ்: This is a role table, not a ranking. Lean and Rocq remain the reference proof-assistant ecosystems; NPA is presented as certificate-centered research and implementation work.

FAQ

தமிழ்: NPA status and verification boundaries.

தமிழ்: The answers emphasize the trust boundary before readers confuse a research page with a deployed proof-assistant service.

தமிழ்: Read about the company

01 தமிழ்: Is this page a product guarantee?

தமிழ்: No. NPA is shown here as a research and implementation repository.

02 தமிழ்: Can NPA replace Lean or Rocq?

தமிழ்: No. NPA is not a practical replacement for Lean or Rocq.

03 தமிழ்: Does the page run real NPA verification?

தமிழ்: No. The browser simulation does not run NPA itself, Rust, WASM, or real proof certificates.

04 தமிழ்: What counts as evidence here?

தமிழ்: The certificate artifact, deterministic hashes, Rust kernel/verifier result, source-free reference checker result, and axiom report form the checking-side evidence.

05 தமிழ்: Which facts need rechecking?

தமிழ்: Current public version, repository visibility, toolchain pins, license text, and source wording were rechecked on 2026-07-02.

தமிழ்: From proof discipline to operations

தமிழ்: Use the same evidence discipline when a business decision must be trusted.

தமிழ்: For business systems, the useful lesson is not to add theorem proving everywhere. It is to decide what must be generated, checked, logged, corrected, and approved by people.
