zeekay 04dc4c3b66 pulsar: derive ML-DSA-65 hyperball params for no-reconstruct signing
Δ/δ = √(2κln2/n) leak-free gap (κ=64, n=L·N=1280, α=∞ conservative),
validated against the Mithril ML-DSA-44 reference table (predicts Δ≈56
on the diagonal vs the table's 55-57). One-sided BCC adaptation (ν=1,
no s2-side); r1 from the L∞ norm budget. Companion to the upcoming
mithril_rss_hyperball.go.

docs/ — Pulsar documentation index

Supporting documentation for the Pulsar NIST MPTC submission. The submission cover sheet (/SUBMISSION.md), BLOCKERS.md, CHANGELOG.md, LICENSE, SECURITY.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md live at the repository root. Everything else is here.

Reviewer reading path

If you have limited time:

  1. proof-claims.md — narrow N1 byte-equality claim; what's proved vs not.
  2. proof-axiom-inventory.md — residual EC axioms with closure plans.
  3. tcb.md — what's trusted (EC / Jasmin / OCaml).
  4. fips-204-traceability.md — op/lemma → FIPS 204 § map.
  5. cryptographer-sign-off.md — independent review (APPROVED WITH GATES).
  6. evaluation.md — performance + correctness evidence.
  7. deployment.md — operator runbook.
