+## Formal Verification
+
+Lean 4 proofs live in `formal/`. Two libraries: `EthLambda` (implementation, no Mathlib) and
+`EthLambdaProofs` (theorems, uses Mathlib). See `formal/README.md` for details.
+
+### Building
+```bash
+make formally-verify                         # Build both Lean libraries
+```
+
+### Lean FFI
+The `lean-ffi` Cargo feature replaces Rust implementations with formally verified Lean code
+via C FFI. The Lean runtime is statically linked (+2 MB binary size).
+
+```bash
+cargo build --features lean-ffi              # Use verified Lean implementation
+cargo test --features lean-ffi               # Run all tests through Lean
+```
+
+The feature flag threads through `ethlambda` → `ethlambda-blockchain` → `ethlambda-state-transition`.
+Without it, the native Rust implementation is used and no Lean toolchain is needed.
+

+### Formal verification
+
+Key consensus functions have been [formally verified in Lean 4](./formal/README.md).
+The verified implementations can be compiled into the binary via FFI:
+
+```sh
+cargo build --features lean-ffi   # use verified Lean implementation
+cargo test --features lean-ffi    # run tests through Lean

+This requires Lean 4 (provided by `nix develop` or [elan](https://github.com/leanprover/elan)).

+# Formal Verification Development Guide
+
+Lean 4 formal verification of ethlambda consensus functions.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+Two libraries in one Lake project:
+
+| Library | Mathlib | Purpose |
+|---------|---------|---------|
+| `EthLambda` | No | Computable functions + `@[export]` FFI. Compiled into Rust binary. |
+| `EthLambdaProofs` | Yes | Theorems about those functions. Never linked into binary. |
+
+```
+EthLambda/
+  Justifiability.lean          # isqrt, justifiable, slotIsJustifiableAfter, @[export]
+
+EthLambdaProofs/
+  Justifiability/
+    Defs.lean                  # IsPronic, Justifiable (Prop, uses IsSquare from Mathlib)
+    Lemmas.lean                # pronic_identity, isSquare_iff_sqrt
+    PronicDetection.lean       # isPronic_iff_sqrt
+    Classification.lean        # justifiable_iff (algorithm correctness)
+    Infinite.lean              # justifiable_unbounded (liveness)
+    Density.lean               # justifiable_density (vote funneling bound)
+    ImplEquivalence.lean       # isqrt_correct, justifiable_equiv (impl = spec)
+```
+
+## Why Two Libraries
+
+Importing any Mathlib module (even `Mathlib.Data.Nat.Notation`) pulls in tactic/linter
+initializer chains that add ~50 MB to the binary. Keeping `EthLambda` Mathlib-free
+keeps the FFI overhead at ~2 MB (Lean runtime only).
+
+`Nat.sqrt` is in Mathlib, not core Lean. The impl lib uses a custom `isqrt`
+(Newton's method on UInt64). `ImplEquivalence.lean` proves `isqrt` equals `Nat.sqrt`.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+lake exe cache get    # fetch prebuilt Mathlib (first time)
+lake build            # both libraries
+lake build EthLambda  # impl only (fast, no Mathlib)
+```
+
+## Lean Tooling
+
+- **Lean version:** 4.29.0 (pinned in `lean-toolchain`)
+- **Mathlib version:** v4.29.0 (pinned in `lakefile.toml`)
+- **LSP tools:** `lean_goal`, `lean_loogle`, `lean_run_code` from lean4-toolkit plugin
+
+## Key Mathlib Lemmas
+
+| Lemma | Used in |
+|-------|---------|
+| `Nat.exists_mul_self'` | `isSquare_iff_sqrt` (bridges `IsSquare` with `Nat.sqrt`) |
+| `Nat.sqrt_eq` | `isPronic_iff_sqrt` (forward direction) |
+| `Nat.le_sqrt` | `Density.lean` (counting squares/pronics below N) |
+| `Finset.card_image_le` | `Density.lean` (injection-based cardinality bounds) |
+
+## Currently Verified Functions
+
+- `slot_is_justifiable_after` (3SF-mini justifiability check)
+
+## Adding a New Verified Function
+
+1. Add the UInt64 implementation to `EthLambda/` with `@[export lean_function_name]`
+2. Add Prop-level definitions to `EthLambdaProofs/.../Defs.lean`
+3. Prove algorithm correctness in `EthLambdaProofs/.../*.lean`
+4. Prove implementation equivalence (UInt64 function = Prop definition)
+5. On the Rust side: add `extern "C"` + safe wrapper to `formal/lean-ffi/src/lib.rs`
+6. Feature-gate the call site with `#[cfg(feature = "lean-ffi")]`
+
+C IR files under `EthLambda/` are auto-discovered by `lean-ffi/build.rs`.
+
+## FFI Details
+
+- `@[export symbol_name]` produces unmangled C symbols callable from Rust
+- UInt64 → u64 and UInt8 → u8 map directly (no `lean_object*` boxing)
+- The Lean runtime must be initialized once before any FFI call (`lean_initialize_runtime_module` + module initializer + `lean_io_mark_end_initialization`)
+- `lean_glue.c` wraps `lean_dec_ref` (which is `static inline` in `lean.h`) into a real symbol
+- Module initializer symbol: `initialize_EthLambda_EthLambda`
+
+## Common Gotchas
+
+- **`Nat.sqrt` needs Mathlib**: Don't import it in the `EthLambda` lib. Use the custom `isqrt`.
+- **`isqrt` overflow**: The original had bugs near UInt64.max. Fixed by starting Newton from `n/2+1` and using division in the correction step.
+- **`import Mathlib` vs specific imports**: Even minimal Mathlib imports pull in linter infrastructure. Use `import Mathlib` in proofs (it's cached), but never in `EthLambda`.
+- **Private defs**: Don't use `private` on definitions that proofs need to unfold. `isqrtLoop` was made public for this reason.
+- **Module initializer names**: Check generated C IR with `grep "initialize_" .lake/build/ir/EthLambda.c` to find the exact symbol.

+# Bridge: Connecting the Implementation to the Proofs
+
+This module closes the trust gap between the two Lean libraries:
+- `EthLambda.Justifiability`: UInt64 implementation (compiled into Rust binary)
+- `EthLambdaProofs.Justifiability`: Nat-based proofs (verification only)
+
+## Trust Chain
+
+```
+  Rust FFI → UInt64 justifiable → Nat Justifiable → mathematical definition
+               (justifiable_equiv)    (justifiable_iff, Classification.lean)
+```
+
+## Overflow Safety
+
+The implementation uses division-based correction (`r+1 ≤ n/(r+1)` instead of
+`(r+1)*(r+1) ≤ n`) and starts Newton's method from `n/2+1` instead of `n`,
+which avoids all UInt64 overflow. The `isqrt_correct` theorem holds for ALL
+UInt64 inputs with no bound restriction. The only bound in `justifiable_equiv`
+is `d < 2^62`, which ensures `4*d+1` doesn't overflow.

+Lean 4 formal verification of ethlambda's consensus protocol.
+
+The package is split into two libraries: one for the implementation and one for
+the proofs. The implementation library does not depend on Mathlib, while the
+proofs library uses Mathlib to verify the correctness of the implementation.
+
+## Two Libraries
+
+| Library | Mathlib | Purpose | In binary? |
+|---------|---------|---------|------------|
+| `EthLambda` | No | Computable functions + FFI exports | Yes |
+| `EthLambdaProofs` | Yes | Theorems about those functions | No |
+
+The reason for this split is to control binary size. Mathlib's module
+initializer chain pulls in tactic and linter infrastructure that inflates the
+binary even when unused at runtime:
+
+| Variant | Binary size |
+|---------|------------|
+| No Lean (baseline) | ~28 MB |
+| Lean runtime, no Mathlib (current) | ~30 MB |
+| Lean runtime + minimal Mathlib import | ~40 MB |
+| Lean runtime + full Mathlib | ~250 MB |
+
+## Building
+
+Requires [elan](https://github.com/leanprover/elan). Run `lake exe cache get`
+to fetch prebuilt Mathlib on first setup, then `lake build`.
+
+## Rust FFI
+
+The `lean-ffi` Cargo feature compiles `EthLambda` into the ethlambda binary via
+C FFI. The Lean runtime is statically linked. Without the feature, the native
+Rust implementation is used.
