Research direction

Start by reading the step-type registration and RE-02.01 definitions, then inspect the corpus cases for reproducibility checks; the issue gives no file paths, so locate these through #453 and #227. Done when a separate Witness verification step is wired ahead of repro_hermetic_build, passes or fails as specified for verified attestations, returns ERROR when verification fails, and has corpus coverage.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

module-reproducibility needs triage

Feature 044 (#453) registers every reproducibility step type that decides from text or file-presence signals as FAIL-only. A PASS from those signals is evidence only.

repro_hermetic_build also verifies Witness attestations. A verified attestation that records no network access during the build is a cryptographic observation, not a text signal. Because it sits inside the same step type, it can no longer conclude PASS for RE-02.01 either.

Proposal:

  • Split Witness verification into its own step type with a {pass, fail} ceiling. It passes on a verified attestation with no recorded network access, fails on a verified attestation that records network access, and is ERROR when the attestation can't be verified.
  • Add it as an RE-02.01 step ahead of repro_hermetic_build.
  • Back it with corpus cases.

The signal-based checks in repro_hermetic_build stay FAIL-only.

Related: #453, #227. Paths change if #532 (rename to darnit-amber) lands first.
