# ROWM Protocol v2.0 Migration Guide

## Overview

This guide covers the migration from Receipt Protocol v1.0 to v2.0, implementing six critical security findings (SEC-001 through SEC-006) across the ROWM polymorphic notebook architecture.

**Protocol v2.0** introduces:
- **Deterministic canonical hashing** (SEC-001)
- **Ed25519 detached signatures** (SEC-002)
- **Replay protection with nonce+context+counter** (SEC-003)
- **Notebook cell tamper detection** (SEC-004)
- **Merkle tree chain linkage** (SEC-005)
- **Proof obligation tracking** (SEC-006)

## Key Changes

### 1. Receipt Structure Evolution

**v1.0 Receipt:**
```rust

struct Receipt {

    receipt_id: String,

    agent_id: String,

    capability_id: String,

    status: ReceiptStatus,

    timestamp: u64,

}

```

**v2.0 Receipt:**
```rust

struct ReceiptV2 {

    sequence_number: u32,

    receipt_id: String,

    receipt_hash: String,              // SHA-512 canonical hash

    agent_id: String,

    capability_id: String,

    instruction_hash: String,

    action: String,

    input_hash: String,

    output_hash: String,

    key_version: u32,                  // Ed25519 key version

    signature: String,                 // Ed25519 detached sig

    status: ReceiptStatus,

    nonce: String,                     // Replay protection

    context: String,                   // Replay context

}

```

### 2. Deterministic Canonical Hashing (SEC-001)

**Changes:**
- Receipts now hash deterministically using SHA-512
- Field order is canonical: `seq|agent|cap|hashes|action|counter|status`
- Timestamps are **excluded** for reproducibility

**Migration:**
```rust

// v1.0: Hash was system timestamp-dependent

let receipt_hash = compute_timestamp_hash(&receipt);



// v2.0: Deterministic canonical form

let canonical = format!(

    "seq:{}|agent:{}|cap:{}|instr:{}|action:{}|input:{}|output:{}|keyver:{}|sig:{}|status:{}",

    receipt.sequence_number, receipt.agent_id, receipt.capability_id,

    receipt.instruction_hash, receipt.action, receipt.input_hash,

    receipt.output_hash, receipt.key_version, receipt.signature, receipt.status

);

let receipt_hash = blake3::hash(canonical.as_bytes()).to_hex().to_string();

```

**Verification:**
```rust

let computed_hash = blake3::hash(&canonical).to_hex().to_string();

assert_eq!(receipt.receipt_hash, computed_hash);

```

### 3. Ed25519 Key Lifecycle Management (SEC-002)

**Changes:**
- All receipts now signed with Ed25519
- Keys versioned and rotated
- Old keys tracked with revocation status

**Key Generation:**
```rust

let keypair = Ed25519KeyPair::generate();

let public_key = keypair.public_key_hex();  // 64 hex chars (32 bytes)

let private_key = keypair.private_key_hex(); // 64 hex chars (32 bytes)

```

**Signature Creation:**
```rust

let signature = keypair.sign(message);  // 128 hex chars (64 bytes)

```

**Signature Verification:**
```rust

let verified = Ed25519KeyPair::verify(&public_key, message, &signature)?;

assert!(verified);

```

**Key Rotation:**
```rust

let mut keystore = KeyStore::new();

let (v1, _) = keystore.generate_key("agent-id", now, now + 3600)?;

let (v2, _) = keystore.rotate_key("agent-id", now + 1800, now + 5400)?;



// v1 becomes revoked

let old_key = keystore.get_key("agent-id", v1)?;

assert_eq!(old_key.status, KeyStatus::Revoked);

```

### 4. Replay Protection (SEC-003 & SEC-004)

**Changes:**
- Nonce + Context + Monotonic Counter tuple
- Prevents identical receipt replay
- Supports cross-context reuse (same nonce in different contexts)

**Initialization:**
```rust

let mut protection = GlobalReplayProtection::new(3600);  // 1-hour window

```

**Recording Nonce:**
```rust

// First receipt with nonce-001, context=global, counter=1

protection.check_and_record("global", "nonce-001", 1)?;



// Next receipt in same context must have counter > 1

protection.check_and_record("global", "nonce-002", 2)?;



// Duplicate nonce in same context fails

assert!(protection.check_and_record("global", "nonce-001", 3).is_err());



// Same nonce in different context succeeds

protection.check_and_record("dispatch", "nonce-001", 1)?;

```

**Replay Detection:**
```rust

// Attempt to replay receipt with nonce-001/global

if protection.check_and_record("global", "nonce-001", 2).is_err() {

    // REPLAY ATTACK DETECTED

    eprintln!("Replay attack detected: duplicate nonce in context");

}

```

### 5. Notebook Cell Tamper Detection (SEC-005)

**Changes:**
- Each cell now includes parent hash
- Merkle tree enforces sequential integrity
- Cell modification detected immediately

**Cell Creation:**
```rust

let cell = NotebookCell::new(

    0,                          // index

    "code",

    "x = 1",                    // source code

    Some(1),                    // execution count

    "",                         // output

    "{}",                       // metadata JSON

    1000,                       // timestamp

    "0".repeat(128),            // parent_hash (zeros for first cell)

);



// Cell automatically hashes deterministically

let cell_hash = cell.cell_hash.clone();

```

**Tamper Detection:**
```rust

let mut cell = cell.clone();



// Verify initial hash

assert!(cell.verify_hash());



// Tamper with source

cell.source = "x = 2".to_string();



// Hash verification fails

assert!(!cell.verify_hash());

```

**Merkle Chain:**
```rust

let mut tree = NotebookMerkleTree::new();



let cell0 = NotebookCell::new(0, ..., "0".repeat(128));

tree.add_cell(cell0.clone())?;



// Cell 1 must reference cell 0's hash

let cell1 = NotebookCell::new(1, ..., cell0.cell_hash.clone());

tree.add_cell(cell1)?;



// Tree verification ensures chain integrity

assert!(tree.verify_integrity());

```

### 6. Proof Obligation Tracking (SEC-006)

**Changes:**
- 12 proof obligations mapped to 4 verifier tools
- Status tracking (proved/disproved/assumed/error/timeout)
- Release gate requires all discharged

**Obligation Types:**

1. **Invariant Preservation** (verified by Z3 SMT solver)
   - inv-001: Receipt chain invariants
   - inv-002: Memory state invariants
   - inv-003: Authorization gates

2. **Semantic Preservation** (verified by Lean 4)
   - sem-001: SUBLEQ codegen correctness
   - sem-002: Unicode roundtrip preservation
   - sem-003: Polyglot compilation semantics

3. **Loop Invariant Maintenance** (verified by Ada/SPARK)
   - loop-001: Receipt append loop
   - loop-002: Cell iteration
   - loop-003: Nonce verification

4. **Receipt Chain Integrity** (verified by Agda)
   - chain-001: v2.0 chain validity
   - chain-002: Replay detection
   - chain-003: Merkle tree integrity

**Querying Status (Prolog):**
```prolog

?- proof_obligation(OID, Type, Context).

OID = 'inv-001',

Type = 'invariant_preservation',

Context = 'receipt_chain'.



?- all_obligations_discharged.

true.

```

**Release Gate:**
```prolog

release_ready_receipts :-

    % All receipts must be:

    % 1. Canonical (deterministic hash)

    forall(receipt_v2(...), verify_receipt_hash(...)),

    % 2. Signed with valid Ed25519 signatures

    forall(receipt_v2(...), verify_receipt_signature(...)),

    % 3. Chain integrity verified

    forall(receipt_chain_link(...), verify_chain_linkage(...)),

    % 4. No replay attacks

    \+ (nonce_record(...), nonce_record(...), Counter1 \= Counter2).

```

## Backward Compatibility

### Supported Scenarios

✅ **v1.0 receipts can coexist with v2.0 in migration period**
- Separate tables: `receipt` (v1) and `receipt_v2` (v2)
- Runtime checks detect protocol version
- Gradual rollover supported

### Unsupported Scenarios

❌ **Mixing v1.0 and v2.0 signatures**
- v2.0 requires all signatures to be Ed25519
- v1.0 signatures cannot be validated by v2.0 gate

❌ **Replay protection across versions**
- v1.0 has no nonce tracking
- v2.0 nonce table is separate

| **SEC-002** Signatures | Unsigned | Ed25519 detached | Proves authority |
| **SEC-003** Replay protection | None | Nonce+Context+Counter | Prevents replay attacks |
| **SEC-004** Cell tampering | None | Parent hash chain | Detects all mutations |
| **SEC-005** Chain integrity | Linear | Merkle tree | O(log n) verification |
| **SEC-006** Proofs | Unchecked | Obligation tracking | Release gate validation |

## Rollback Plan

If v2.0 deployment fails:

1. **Immediate:** Stop accepting v2.0 receipts
2. **Verification:** Compare receipt counts (v1 vs v2)
3. **Decision:** If v1 > 90%, rollback safe
4. **Execution:** Restore v1.0 signing, keep v2.0 tables for audit
5. **Investigation:** Post-incident review of failures

## Support and Troubleshooting

### FAQ

**Q: Can I upgrade incrementally?**
A: Yes. v1.0 and v2.0 can coexist during migration. Set phase gates:
```rust

if protocol_version == 2 {

    use_v2_verification()

} else {

    use_v1_verification()

}

```

**Q: What if a receipt fails v2.0 verification?**
A: Check in order:
1. Signature verification (Ed25519 key exists?)
2. Canonical form (field order correct?)
3. Replay protection (nonce duplicate?)
4. Chain linkage (parent hash matches?)

**Q: How do I handle key rotation?**
A: Old signatures remain valid until key expiry. Use `get_key(agent, version)` to verify against specific key version.

**Q: What about cross-context replay?**
A: Same nonce is allowed in different contexts (e.g., "global" vs "dispatch"). The protection enforces `(nonce, context)` uniqueness, not nonce alone.
