Can you provide proof certificates?" + +**Loom:** "No, Z3 doesn't generate proof certificates in Coq." + +**Auditor:** ❌ "Insufficient for ASIL D. Need mechanized proofs." + +**3. Authoritative Semantics Gap:** + +**Auditor:** "How do you know your ARM semantics are correct?" + +**Loom:** "We manually encoded them based on the ARM manual." + +**Auditor:** "That's your interpretation.

Short-term (Now):** +- ✅ Clone Loom and study optimization techniques +- ✅ Integrate ISLE rules and 12-phase pipeline concepts +- ✅ Use Z3 SMT for development speed + +**2. Medium-term (3-9 months):** +- ✅ Add Sail integration (ARM ASL → Coq) +- ✅ Formalize optimizations in Coq +- ✅ Keep Z3 for fast feedback in parallel + +**3. Long-term (9-15 months):** +- ✅ Complete Coq proofs for all operations +- ✅ Build qualification package +- ✅ Achieve ASIL D certification + +### Key Insight + +**Loom is not a shortcut to ASIL D, but it's a valuable reference implementation.** + +You can: +- ✅ Reuse optimization techniques (ISLE rules, pipeline) +- ✅ Use Z3 SMT for development (fast iteration) +- ✅ Learn from architecture decisions + +But you still need: +- ❌ Coq mechanized proofs (no substitute) +- ❌ Authoritative ISA via Sail (no substitute) +- ❌ 9-15 months of formal verification work + +**The path to ASIL D is clear: Sail + Coq.** Loom can make that journey easier (better optimizations, proven architecture), but it can't replace the fundamental requirements. + +--- + +## 10.
