## 🎯 What is lean-agentic?

Lean-Agentic is a high-performance WebAssembly theorem prover and dependent type library that brings formal verification to JavaScript and TypeScript. Think of it as a logic calculator you can ship anywhere the web runs. It is fast, compact, and built for practical use with AI tools, teaching, and type-safe programming.

**Built in Rust** with a clean, auditable core inspired by Lean 4's dependent type system, Lean-Agentic compiles to WebAssembly for universal JavaScript compatibility.

In simple terms, Lean-Agentic helps you prove properties about your code before it runs. It checks that functions match their types, that transformations keep meaning, and that two expressions are the same. Thanks to hash-consing and smart caching, equality checks that used to take long complete up to 150 times faster. The core is small and auditable, and the package stays under 100 KB.

**For developers**, this means fewer bugs and clearer intent. You can verify algorithms, guard critical paths, and build interactive assistants that reason about program structure.

**For AI and ML teams**, it slots into Claude Code and similar systems to validate agent output, create verified training examples, and enforce logical constraints.

**For educators**, it runs directly in the browser, so students can explore type theory and proofs with no setup.

**Trust is first class.** Version 0.3.0 adds Ed25519 proof signing, so each proof can be tied to an agent identity and checked for authenticity. You get mathematical verification plus cryptographic attestation, with support for multi-agent consensus and tamper detection. Performance remains practical: microsecond-level key generation and signing, sub-millisecond verification, and throughput that supports real workflows.

**If it runs JavaScript, Lean-Agentic runs there too:** Browser, Node, Deno, or Bun.

### Key Features

- **⚡ 150x Faster**: Finds if two expressions are the same almost instantly using smart caching
- **🛡️ Type Safety**: Catches errors at design time, not runtime - like TypeScript but stronger
- **🔐 Ed25519 Signatures**: Cryptographic proof attestation with agent identity (v0.3.0+)
- **📦 Tiny Package**: Less than 100KB - smaller than most images on the web
- **✅ Trustworthy**: The core logic is just 1,200 lines of carefully verified code
- **🌐 Works Everywhere**: Browser, Node.js, Deno, Bun - if it runs JavaScript, it works
- **🔌 AI Integration**: Built-in support for Claude Code and other AI coding assistants
- **🎯 Developer Friendly**: Full TypeScript support with autocomplete and type checking
- **📊 Battle Tested**: Comprehensive benchmarks and tests ensure reliability

## 🔐 Ed25519 Signature Verification (NEW in v0.3.0)

**Cryptographic attestation for formal proofs** - Add trust, authenticity, and non-repudiation to your theorems!

### What is Ed25519 Proof Signing?

lean-agentic now supports **cryptographic signatures** for mathematical proofs, combining:
- **Mathematical verification** (type checking - "Is this proof correct?")
- **Cryptographic verification** (Ed25519 signatures - "Who created this proof?")

This enables:
- 🔑 **Agent Identity** - Know who generated each proof
- ✅ **Dual Verification** - Both mathematical and cryptographic validation
- 🤝 **Multi-Agent Consensus** - Byzantine fault tolerant proof validation
- 🛡️ **Tamper Detection** - Automatically detect modified proofs
- 📊 **Chain of Custody** - Track complete proof provenance
- 🔍 **Non-Repudiation** - Agents can't deny proofs they signed

### Performance

- **Key Generation**: 152 μs per agent identity
- **Proof Signing**: 202 μs overhead
- **Verification**: 529 μs per proof
- **Throughput**: 93+ signed proofs per second

### How It Works

```javascript
const { AgentIdentity, SignedProof, ProofConsensus } = require('lean-agentic');

// 1. Create agent identity with Ed25519 keypair
const agent = AgentIdentity.new("researcher-001");
console.log(`Agent: ${agent.agentId}`);
console.log(`Public Key: ${agent.publicKeyHex()}`);

// 2. Sign a proof
const proofTerm = {
  termId: "TermId(2)",
  typeSig: "∀A. A → A",
  body: "λx:Type. x"
};

const signedProof = agent.signProof(
  proofTerm,
  "Identity function theorem",
  "direct_construction"
);

console.log(`Signature: ${signedProof.signature.toHex()}`);
console.log(`Timestamp: ${signedProof.metadata.timestamp}`);

// 3. Verify signature
const isValid = signedProof.verifySignature();
console.log(`Cryptographically valid: ${isValid}`);

// 4. Full verification (math + crypto)
const trustedAgents = [agent.verifyingKey];
const result = signedProof.verifyFull(trustedAgents);

console.log(`Mathematically valid: ${result.mathematicallyValid}`);
console.log(`Cryptographically valid: ${result.cryptographicallyValid}`);
console.log(`Trusted agent: ${result.trusted}`);
```

### Multi-Agent Consensus

Build Byzantine fault tolerant systems where multiple agents must agree on proof validity:

```javascript
// Create multiple validator agents
const validator1 = AgentIdentity.new("validator-1");
const validator2 = AgentIdentity.new("validator-2");
const validator3 = AgentIdentity.new("validator-3");

// Validators reach consensus
const consensus = ProofConsensus.create(
  signedProof,
  [validator1, validator2, validator3],
  2  // Need 2 out of 3 validators to agree
);

if (consensus) {
  const isValid = consensus.verify();
  console.log(`Consensus reached: ${consensus.validators.length}/3 validators`);
  console.log(`Consensus valid: ${isValid}`);
} else {
  console.log("Consensus not reached - insufficient signatures");
}
```

### Tamper Detection

Ed25519 signatures automatically detect any tampering:

```javascript
// Original proof - valid
const originalProof = agent.signProof(proofTerm, "Original", "direct");
console.log(`Original valid: ${originalProof.verifySignature()}`);  // true

// Tampered proof - automatically detected
const tamperedProof = originalProof.clone();
tamperedProof.proofTerm.body = "λx:Type. y";  // Changed!
console.log(`Tampered valid: ${tamperedProof.verifySignature()}`);  // false ✗

// Tamper detection is cryptographically guaranteed
```

### Use Cases

1. **AI Code Verification** - Verify which AI agent generated a proof
2. **Multi-Party Validation** - Require multiple experts to sign off on critical proofs
3. **Audit Trails** - Complete cryptographic chain of custody for regulatory compliance
4. **Distributed Systems** - Byzantine fault tolerant proof networks
5. **Trust Networks** - Build reputation systems for proof generators
6. **Academic Research** - Non-repudiation for published theorems

### Availability
