The five categories
Exit criteria
An implementation is certified SINT-compliant if:≥ 154/157 tests pass (≥ 97.5%)
All 52 ledger integrity tests pass (100% mandatory)
Zero state-machine coverage failures
Running the suite
The benchmark suite
Separate from the conformance suite, seven benchmarks (BM-*) measure performance characteristics. These are not certification gates but ship with every release.
Adversarial condition: every
BM-PG-* benchmark includes a flood test (10,000 ESCALATE/min). Gateway must maintain T0 p50 ≤ 2ms under flood. This is the protocol’s DoS resilience test.
Hardware target matrix
Certification bundle
On passing, the suite emits a certification bundle — a JSON document suitable for submission to external auditors, internal compliance teams, or standards bodies. The bundle contains:- Per-invariant evidence (I-T1 through I-G3)
- Per-tier benchmark results with confidence intervals
- Full test log with timestamps
- SHA-256 hash of the test harness at runtime
- Gateway version and commit hash
- Reproducibility metadata (hardware, OS, runtime versions)
