From 1a365a0463e76da57da8bf256da77dd0c66ea0b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: diid Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 22:04:16 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] feat: layered-stack solvers, exact columnar, hill-additive, telemetry MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three decompositions, each turning a joint search into a cheaper staged one. stack.py / stack_gpu.py — staged attack on stacks of transpositions under a periodic substitution. A transposition preserves monogram frequencies, so a periodic substitution sitting OUTSIDE any stack of transpositions peels off the RAW ciphertext by per-coset chi-square, with no transposition search at all. That fails when cosets are short (a period-45 key over 224 letters leaves 5 letters per coset), so the coupled search in layered.crack_layered is kept alongside it. Batching the inner DP across candidates on GPU — one kernel launch per mask for the whole batch — gives 124x: 99k-123k evals/s against 799 on CPU, verified bit-equal against the scalar solver. Measured depth curve on width-9 columnars over ~315 letters: depth 1 exact with no search, depth 2 exact in 2.3s on GPU, depth 3 does not converge. That last one is a SIGNAL wall, not a compute wall — 6.5M evaluations, best score flat after generation 10 for 390 more generations. At depth 2 a correct outer order immediately exposes English through the exact inner solve, so there is a gradient; at depth 3 both outer layers must be near-right before anything shows, so single-swap mutations get no partial credit. Unicity is not the obstacle (~55 bits against ~1000 bits of English redundancy at that length). Documented in the module so nobody spends a week throwing hardware at it. columnar_exact.py — the innermost columnar of a stack is exactly solvable. Its columns are PLAINTEXT columns, so the objective decomposes pairwise and Held-Karp gives the optimum in O(2^w * w^2) instead of O(w! * n). Width 9: 41k ops against 363k full decodes; widths 12-16 become reachable. Wide widths are declared out of reach and refused rather than hanging silently. hill_affine.py + ciphers/hill_additive.py — CT = M*(P + K) for a Hill matrix over a periodic additive. Applying any candidate inverse gives M^-1*CT = P + K, so the additive never has to be searched jointly with the matrix: what is left is an ordinary periodic Vigenere, solved by chi-square plus a quadgram polish. 26^9 collapses to a dictionary scan. telemetry.py — live progress and rate reporting for long sweeps. A no-hit sweep holds a steady rate for its full duration while a hit short-circuits early, so the rate itself is early evidence, visible from the first heartbeat rather than at the end. Two harness lessons encoded as guards: a bare `except: pass` around sub-solvers hid an ImportError for a whole regression run (a wrong answer won the ranking instead), and a startswith(16 chars) regression check passed a decode whose error started at char 17 — regression checks now compare full plaintext.

Type-check the import under TYPE_CHECKING and run the fallback at runtime, which is redefinition- free either way. Verified against two interpreters: the dev venv (torch + numpy present) and a torch-free venv that reproduces the CI type environment. Clean in both.
