chore(deps): re-point trust kernel to echidna-core

[hyperpolymath]

Summary

Closes #173.

• Replace echidna-core-spark with stable echidna-core 0.2.0 pinned to full upstream revision 645d7a2489c644706210e171acba6f52741ad3b8. Verified via the echidna commits/main API on 2026-10-09 (merged upstream PR #415), not an unmerged branch.
• Route both trust modules through echidna_core::trust, including their documentation links. No local trust algorithm changes.
• Remove stale rename follow-ups and record the revision while retaining the explicit main-only pin policy.
• Preserve the local ProverKind slug and local prove_result parser unchanged.
• Update the existing STATE descriptile; no new files or .a2ml files.
• Update Cargo.lock from pinned upstream manifests and its strum 0.28.0 / strum_macros 0.28.0 lock records, preserving unrelated dependencies. This was a manual, narrowly scoped lock update, not a Cargo-generated result.

Verification — draft pending Rust-enabled validation

• PASS: git diff --check.
• PASS: dispatcher source unchanged.
• BLOCKED: cargo build — exit 127, cargo: command not found.
• BLOCKED: cargo test — exit 127, cargo: command not found; existing trust-module unit tests have not run.
• BLOCKED: just validate-rsr — just: command not found.
• Before marking ready: run build and full tests with pinned Rust 1.99.0, verify lockfile resolution and both trust-module test paths.
• Sandbox has no GPG tooling/signing key; commit is unsigned.

Coordination with #166

Issue #166 is still open, but this base already specifies tracing-opentelemetry 0.34 and locks rustls 0.23.45. This PR changes neither OTel nor TLS dependencies and does not claim to resolve #166 or verify its security checks. Keep any remaining fixes there, separate from this migration.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Updates
  • The trust-checking integration now uses the shared trust implementation. Local scanning of prover output remains unchanged.
• Documentation
  • Integration guidance now reflects the updated trust-checking arrangement and records that verification is pending.
• Maintenance
  • The underlying trust package reference has been updated. Build and test verification could not be completed because Cargo was unavailable.

Walkthrough

The trust dependency now points to echidna-core at a pinned revision. Trust imports and integration documentation use its trust API. The local prover-output scanner remains in place. Build and test verification is pending because Cargo is unavailable.

Changes

Trust dependency re-point

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pin the stable trust dependency Cargo.toml, docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc, .machine_readable/descriptiles/STATE.a2ml	The dependency now targets echidna-core at revision 645d7a2489c644706210e171acba6f52741ad3b8. The integration documentation and session metadata record the revision and note that build and test verification is pending because Cargo is unavailable.
Update trust API references src/trust/confidence.rs, src/trust/axiom_tracker.rs, docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc	Trust-level and axiom-scanner references now use echidna_core::trust. The integration documentation continues to describe prover-output scanning as local.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08961

The dependency swap leaves a test file importing the removed crate, which breaks test compilation. Fix that import and run the build and tests before merging.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — src (service) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.
• observed — Cargo.toml (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.
• observed — docs (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in Cargo.toml: The dependency changes from echidna-core-spark at revision b761b3a832981be51d4e88076ef1b90fe5037e9c to echidna-core at revision 645d7a2489c644706210e171acba6f52741ad3b8; the comments now identify the shared trust algorithm and axiom scanner as provided by the new dependency.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc: The documentation changes the trust-level and proof-source scan paths from echidna_core_spark to echidna_core; it continues to describe the prover-output text scan as local.
• observed — Modified behavior in docs/ECHIDNA-INTEGRATION.adoc: The dependency description now specifies echidna-core 0.2.0 at revision 645d7a2489c644706210e171acba6f52741ad3b8, verified on main on 2026-10-09, and says standalone builds must not use a path dependency. It changes the status from implemented and tested to implemented, notes that build and test verification of the re-point is pending because Cargo is unavailable, and retains the statement that the kernel’s Creusot annotations are not claimed as proved.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/trust/axiom_tracker.rs: The documentation and import now refer to echidna_core::trust::axiom_tracker instead of echidna_core_spark::axiom_tracker; the descriptions of source scanning and output scanning otherwise remain unchanged.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The dependency change, trust import paths, documentation links, removed follow-up notes, revision record, and preserved local parser details address the coding objectives in [#173]. The STATE update is also reported. However, cargo build and cargo test did not run because Cargo was unavailable, so green builds, unchanged trust behaviour, and the existing trust-module tests are not established. [#166] remains directly linked, but this PR explicitly does not change its OTel or TLS dependencies, and its required checks and dependency grouping are not verified. Cargo.lock is excluded from review, so its contents cannot resolve this uncertainty.

Resolution

Provide reviewable evidence for [#173] that cargo build and cargo test pass, including both trust-module test paths and the required behaviour checks. Provide evidence that the active requirements of [#166], including its dependency grouping and required checks, are satisfied, or remove [#166] as a direct link if it is context only.

_{I’m a rabbit with a trust-path to trace,
I hop to the stable crate in its place.
The axiom scanner joins the new route,
While local output checks still stay put.
Cargo is absent, so tests must wait;
I nibble the notes and mark the state.}

29-29: 🩺 Stability & Availability

The import path is valid at the pinned revision. echidna-core re-exports the public axiom_tracker module and its required items through trust. No review finding remains.

src/trust/confidence.rs (1)

18-19: 🩺 Stability & Availability

The import compatibility cannot be decided. echidna-core documents a stable trust surface, but the pinned revision's source is unavailable and no authoritative search result exposes these exports. The comment does not establish an import failure.

Update the remaining echidna_core_spark import.

tests/live_echidna.rs:11 still imports echidna_core_spark::axiom_tracker::DangerLevel, but the project now declares echidna-core. Update the import to the new trust-module path.

🐛 Suggested fix

-use echidna_core_spark::axiom_tracker::DangerLevel;
+use echidna_core::trust::axiom_tracker::DangerLevel;
