whitepaper v2: Section 3 - Compiler Architecture (~2,500 words)
...
Deploy Landing Page to Storj / deploy (push) Failing after 2s
Covers full compilation pipeline: parser (~850 lines), AST design, all 5
generators (PROV-O, CycloneDX, SPDX, TypeScript, WASM), WASM host runtime,
test infrastructure (41 tests, 3 suites), and architectural design decisions
(TypeScript throughout, zero external services, independent generators,
text-first WASM, DIST DESYNC guard, CLI-first).
Sections 1-3 complete; 4-8 remain.

whitepaper v2: Section 2 - SpeckDL language specification
...
Deploy Landing Page to Storj / deploy (push) Failing after 2s
Full technical writeup covering:
- Design philosophy (spec as source of truth, state machines, type-safe, emit)
- Structure of a speck (types, state, init, invariant, action, next)
- Type system (Bool, Nat, Int, String, Set, Map, List, Records, Optional)
- Actions (require, assignments, let bindings, if, emit, return, forall)
- Invariants (documentation + runtime verification, quantified, logical ops)
- Action composition (next: non-deterministic interleaving)
- Complete Two-Phase Commit example (48-line spec)
- What SpeckDL deliberately omits (no functions, no loops, no concurrency, no I/O, no error handling)
- ~2,000 words

whitepaper v2: Section 1 (The Spec-Code Gap) with executable specs framing
...
Deploy Landing Page to Storj / deploy (push) Failing after 3s
Rewrites the whitepaper from the old 'Dark Provenance' concept to reflect
what Speckl actually is now: specifications that compile to software.
Section 1 covers:
- The Archaeology Problem (specs that rot in docs)
- The Formal Methods Gap (verified spec ≠ running system)
- The SpeckDL Approach (compile spec directly to code + provenance)
- Concrete ToggleSwitch example (14 lines → 5 artifacts)
Whitepaper outline restructured around current compiler capabilities
(TypeScript, WASM, PROV-O, CycloneDX, SPDX generators).
