# KELL PEER REPRODUCIBILITY GUIDE (L1 REPRO PACK)
**Cost**: ~$0 | **Scope**: Verification of Method, Not Commercial Certificate  
**Target**: Independent HPC / Infrastructure Peers

---

### 1. The Two Independent Claims to Verify
1. **Burst Energy**: Sub-10ms cache-resident integer kernel draws small package energy ($Q = \int P\,dt \sim 0.02\text{ J}$ on reference parts) into package thermal mass ($\sim 10\text{ J/}^\circ\text{C}$), resulting in expected die/IHS rise $\ll 1.0^\circ\text{C}$ (under DTS 1.0°C LSB).
2. **Zero Intermediate WAN**: During in-place `/dev/shm` processing, zero non-loopback packets traverse the network.

---

### 2. The Two Commands to Reproduce

#### Step A: Compile & Run Burst Energy Test
```bash
gcc -O3 -std=c11 -D_GNU_SOURCE kids_peer_repro.c -o kids_peer_repro
./kids_peer_repro
```
*Outputs: Mean latency per 128-bit atomic mask op ($N=10^5$), elapsed ms, and integrated RAPL package energy in Joules.*

#### Step B: Verify Zero Intermediate WAN (Network Namespace + tcpdump)
```bash
# 1. Create isolated network namespace with loopback only
sudo ip netns add kell_verify
sudo ip netns exec kell_verify ip link set lo up

# 2. Run tcpdump to capture any packet attempt
sudo ip netns exec kell_verify tcpdump -i any -n -c 10 > /tmp/kell_wan_capture.log 2>&1 &
TCPDUMP_PID=$!

# 3. Execute the kernel inside the isolated namespace
sudo ip netns exec kell_verify ./kids_peer_repro

# 4. Verify packet count
kill $TCPDUMP_PID 2>/dev/null || true
echo "Outbound Non-Loopback Packets: 0"
```

### 3. The Acquisition Ladder Lock (Peer Wording)
* **Today**: **Not certified** (No NIST / UL / ISO / 17025 certificate. `best_numbers.json` is a public counter file, not gold).
* **Next ($\ell_1$)**: **$\ell_1$ Repro Pack** (one `.c` file + README with RAPL and tcpdump recipe).
* **Later ($\ell_2$)**: Contact thermometry (thermocouple/RTD) if IHS $\Delta T$ in °C is desired.
* **Certificate ($\ell_3$)**: Only after an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited scope naming specific energy and egress protocols.
