rfc_digit_case
Changing the case of any letters among the deltas changes nothing: the same result, length and code points (RFC 3492 5: "A decoder MUST recognize the letters in both uppercase and lowercase forms").

The spec
The spec is the C program harness/rfc_digit_case.c, 35 lines, shown whole as it is in the repository at 7556530. It includes harness/laws_common.h (52 lines). Its first comment states the property in full, with every bound.
// Law rfc_digit_case: The decoder reads the digits of the deltas in either case. For any input (any octets, any
// length the allocator provides) and any capacity (any unsigned int), the input with any of the letters of its deltas
// (after the last '-'; all octets when there is no '-' or it is the first one) changed to the other case decodes to
// the same result, length and code points (each into an array of exactly that capacity holding any values). The
// octets before the last '-' are code points, not digits: they keep their case.
#include "laws_common.h"

// Choose the inputs: any octets, the same with any letters of the deltas in the other case, any capacity

}The theorem
QuickProof generated this statement from the spec, in src/contracts/rfc_digit_case.v:
Theorem rfc_digit_case : harness_safe whole_prog.src/contracts/laws.v states it on the spec's own program, whole_prog (the spec linked with the code under test), with its proof:
Theorem rfc_digit_case : harness_safe OpensslPunycode.contracts.rfc_digit_case.whole_prog.
Proof. exact (proj1 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 (proj2 OpensslPunycode.contracts.suite.suite)))))))))). Qed.Read as a statement about runs, it says that no run of the program has undefined behaviour or a failing check, for every value the spec can draw. That reading rests on VST's adequacy theorem, which is not yet instantiated in Rocq (formerly Coq) for QuickProof's environment.

What it leaves out
- What the first comment of the spec excludes, and its bounds.
- Like every spec of this proof: termination (a run that never returns is not a counterexample), one thread, and binaries built by a compiler (the theorem is about the code as CompCert defines C for x86-64, in a release build, compiled against a small header shim instead of OpenSSL's generated headers).
- The rest of OpenSSL: only
crypto/punycode.cand the parts ofcrypto/packet.cit reaches are code under test.
The summary page says what the proof as a whole covers.
How it was proved
AI agents wrote the proof, and Rocq checks it. qp verify passes on this repository: this statement is the one generated from the spec at the contract commit, and its proof uses only Rocq's standard axioms and VST's abstract malloc library.
