[NSPG13]

Automated external intake passed the docs-contract check, but this cannot merge.

What passed:

• The contribution is isolated to one Rust file.
• The repository documentation contract still parses.

What blocks main:

• #895 requires an independent SP1 binding review of exact commit eebe59e791d5502c1761aa298855bfdf71719dc6. This PR is based on main and does not inspect or reproduce the Beta1 guest, adapters, journal, or release bundle.
• Replacing the existing V1 readiness implementation with a locally invented Sp1ProofReceipt model is not proof verification and regresses current behavior.
• The patch does not reproduce the ELF SHA-256/Keccak or vkey in two isolated Linux builders, check each journal field, exercise Groth16 and PLONK vectors, assess GHSA-vj64-rjf3-w3v7, or bind evidence hashes to the requested commit.
• Byte-length/nonzero checks cannot establish that an SP1 proof verifies or that its journal is scope-bound.

How to fix:

1. Check out exact commit eebe59e791d5502c1761aa298855bfdf71719dc6.
2. Run the pinned metric-release workflow twice and the real-proof fork rehearsal.
3. Submit a report under docs/reviews/ containing exact commands, toolchain/commit, ELF hashes, vkey, journal-word map, Groth16/PLONK positive and adversarial results, and advisory analysis.
4. Add a focused deterministic regression test only for a confirmed binding defect; preserve the V1 API.
5. Include the requested discovery feedback.

#895 is still funding-needed, with no canonical claimable contract. This review is neither bounty acceptance nor payment approval; the contributor branch remains open for a corrected review.
