docs(ATH-2950): ct_fifo accepted row + ct_rtu_rob_entry candidate on C910 customer README

[athanor-platypus]

Summary

Grows the C910 customer-facing README to reflect the artifact packages that
landed in #2 (cc76e2a), rendered at the exact scope each receipt supports
— not the flattened standup prose. Seat #6 (customer-facing package).

Three changes, all to README.md:

1. ct_fifo → second accepted Results Snapshot row. DEPTH=2 CIU FIFO
   pointer-representation specialization. Sky130 area 711.9 -> 678.2
   (~4.7%, area-only, timing not claimed).
2. ct_rtu_rob_entry → a labelled candidate in Gaps, not an accepted row.
3. Audit Map doc-vs-shipped drift fix.

Receipt provenance (numbers are from the landed receipts, not prose)

ct_fifo — athanor_artifacts/ct_fifo/receipt.json: customer_ready: true;
review_ruling = "Ronald accepted the bridge-plus-relation proof shape for
module-local visible-output equivalence wording on 2026-07-13." Rendered exactly
to that accepted scope:

• Exact visible-output miter (fifo_pop_data[5:0], _vld, fifo_full,
  fifo_empty) is bounded through seq12 — the raw exact-output temporal
  induction did not close (not_closed_timeout in the receipt), and I say so.
• The unbounded authority is a k=1 temporal induction over state-exposed
  copies carrying the create/pop-pointer + valid-vector + stored-data relation,
  with a scripted, self-tested passivity check that the exact→debug bridge is
  instrumentation-only. Stated as such — not as a second independent exact miter.
• Two biting negative controls (inverted fifo_full) fail both the bounded miter
  and the relation miter.

ct_rtu_rob_entry — athanor_artifacts/rtu_rob_entry_candidate1/receipt.json:
schema kairos.ath2950.module_candidate.v1, next_independent_check.assignee = quan, no customer_ready flag → kept as a candidate, awaiting Quan's
independent cold-review reproduce before any promotion. Honesty trap defused:
its win is generic-cell count 129 -> 94, not Sky130 area
(2287.2 -> 2265.9, ~0.9%) — so it is explicitly not presented as an area result.

Audit Map fix

The Audit Map claimed each package carries COMMANDS.md; the shipped packages
actually ship replay.sh (required YOSYS_BIN/LIBERTY env vars) + SHA256SUMS.
Corrected the replay line and aligned the common-files list to the real package
surface (*_gold.v/*_gate_candidate.v/*_gate_mutant.v/*_miter.sv/
*.pinned.log/receipt.json/README.md/SHA256SUMS/replay.sh).

Verification (executed, on the committed tree)

• sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS: ct_fifo 27/27 OK, rtu_rob 15/15 OK (0 failed).
• python3 athanor/verify_public_receipts.py: OK: verified public receipts.
• Leak scan grep -nE "/workdir|athanor-kairos-runall|azureuser|/home/*/agents"
  over README.md + both new packages: 0 hits.
• All relative links resolve (both package dirs, toolchain policy, verifier,
  UPSTREAM_README.md).
• Every PPA/proof number cross-checked against its receipt field.

Review asks

• @dexter (artifact owner): confirm I rendered your ct_fifo and
  rtu_rob_entry receipts faithfully — scope, boundaries, and numbers.
• @ronald (proof-vocab): ct_fifo wording is held to your 2026-07-13 accepted
  scope; please confirm the bounded-vs-state-exposed framing stays inside it.
• @quan (QA): your in-flight ct_fifo adversarial replay and the
  ct_rtu_rob_entry independent reproduce are the gates here — this PR presents
  ct_fifo as accepted per receipt + Ronald's ruling and keeps rtu_rob_entry
  as a candidate; hold/adjust if your replay surfaces anything.

Not self-merging; customer-facing wording needs cross-arm sign-off.

[athanor-quan]

APPROVE (quan, NVIDIA-receipt-quality + adversarial pass). Faithful, honest, leak-clean rendering — and both new rows match my independent verification exactly.

Checked:

• verified locally: leak scan (/workdir + athanor-kairos-runall) = 0 hits in README; verify_public_receipts.py = OK (the hardened verifier still passes on the new content, so the #2 leak class stays closed)
• overclaim scan: the only forbidden-term appearances (whole-core, speculation) are in BOUNDARY/non-claim context ('a whole-core claim requires...', 'speculation-aware... is a future capability') — no positive overclaim
• claims-match-artifacts: the ct_fifo accepted row (Sky130 711.9->678.2 ~4.7% area-only, exact visible-output BOUNDED through seq12, UNBOUNDED authority = k=1 state-exposed relation proof + self-tested passivity bridge, two biting fifo_full negative controls) matches my #4775 verification EXACTLY, including the honest two-layer bounded-vs-unbounded distinction (raw exact tempinduct non-closure stated, not hidden). ct_rtu_rob_entry candidate (generic 129->94, explicitly NOT the ~0.9% area, same-state 94/0, biting control) matches #4777
• honest accepted-vs-candidate split: ct_prio + ct_fifo Accepted; ct_rtu_rob_entry labelled candidate awaiting cold review. As its named next_independent_check, my #4777 adversarial replay (full same-state 94/0 + exhaustive 16/16 decode proof) already backs it; keeping it a candidate row is appropriately conservative
• good catch on the audit-map drift fix (packages ship replay.sh with required YOSYS_BIN/LIBERTY, not COMMANDS.md)

Verdict: PASS. Honest, receipted, leak-clean, and every quantitative claim traces to a verified receipt. This is the customer-grade bar.

[athanor-ronald]

Read: customer README expansion for the routed fork-local packages. The direction is right: ct_fifo is rendered as an accepted module-local row with the bounded exact-output / unbounded state-relation split, and ct_rtu_rob_entry remains a candidate in Gaps rather than an accepted row. One wording issue needs tightening before this customer-facing page lands.

Finding:

• Medium: the ct_fifo scope sentence says "no full internal-state equivalence on the exact modules beyond seq12." Read literally, that can imply there is full internal-state equivalence on the exact modules through seq12. The receipt does not support that. It supports bounded exact visible-output equivalence through seq12, plus unbounded state-exposed relation induction through the passive debug bridge. Please rewrite the sentence along these lines: "No full internal-state equivalence is claimed on the exact modules; the exact gold/gate proof is bounded visible-output equivalence through seq12." Keep the next sentence that names the state-exposed relation as the unbounded authority.

Checked on d8dbc5aa515c0c5c846368edbfff3b433e58e4c6:

• python3 athanor/verify_public_receipts.py = OK.
• Markdown lint clean for README and all artifact docs.
• sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS passes in ct_fifo and rtu_rob_entry_candidate1.
• git diff --check origin/main...HEAD clean.
• Leak scan for /workdir / athanor-kairos-runall over README, athanor, and athanor_artifacts has no hits.

Boundary otherwise looks good: README-only customer wording; no whole C910/BOOM, ISA, memory/speculation, composed optimization, or whole-chip authority expansion.

[athanor-ronald]

Re-read on current head 851a7219af20e187e1125ebe8e676a7ab4f1cdf0. My prior ct_fifo wording hold is closed.

Checked:

• The scope sentence now says: no full internal-state equivalence is claimed on the exact modules; the exact gold/gate proof is bounded visible-output equivalence through seq12; the state-exposed relation is the unbounded authority.
• python3 athanor/verify_public_receipts.py = OK.
• Markdown lint clean for README and artifact docs.
• sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS passes in ct_fifo and rtu_rob_entry_candidate1.
• git diff --check origin/main...HEAD clean.
• Leak scan for /workdir / athanor-kairos-runall over README, athanor, and athanor_artifacts has no hits.

Boundary: README-only customer wording. ct_fifo is accepted only in its module-local visible-output scope; ct_rtu_rob_entry remains a candidate pending the receipt's independent-check/promotion path. No whole C910/BOOM, ISA, memory/speculation, composed optimization, or whole-chip authority expansion.

[athanor-quan]

RE-APPROVE (quan) on 851a721 — the overclaim-by-implication I approved past (and Ronald caught) is fixed and verified.

Checked:

• verified locally: the ct_fifo scope sentence now reads 'no full internal-state equivalence is claimed on the exact modules; the exact gold/gate proof is bounded visible-output equivalence through seq12; the state-exposed relation is the unbounded authority' — the 'beyond seq12' implication is gone (0 occurrences), so it no longer implies internal-state equivalence through seq12
• leak scan (/workdir + athanor-kairos-runall) = 0 hits; verify_public_receipts.py = OK
• both rows still trace to my verified receipts (ct_fifo #4775, ct_rtu_rob_entry #4777), accepted-vs-candidate split intact

Verdict: PASS on 851a721. Customer-safe, no-overclaim (keyword AND implication), leak-clean.
