Part of #1634. Builds on #1715.

This pull request proves the cuckoo walk dichotomy and tail bounds of R. Pagh and F. F. Rodler (J. Algorithms 51(2):122–144, 2004; 8 Dec 2003 manuscript, §2.3 "Analysis", pp. 6–10). It establishes IsCuckooHashPair (the expected-walk and rehash-probability interface from #1715) for every capacity n_max : ℕ when the two hash families are independent and (2 * MaxLoop + 2)-wise independent. The sub-table size m must satisfy 32 * max n_max 4 ≤ m, and the eviction-round cap MaxLoop must satisfy maxEvictions n_max ≤ MaxLoop ≤ m, where maxEvictions n_max is the logarithmic eviction threshold. This covers degree-< k trinomial-field polynomial hashes (trinomialPolyHash) and uniform random hash pairs, and connects uniform hash pairs to lazy random-oracle evaluation (RandomOracle.answer).

Main results and source mapping

• Walk dichotomy (§2.3, Lemma 1, p. 7): When t two-table eviction rounds from a valid placement fail to place an uninserted key u, either HasAltPath or HasBicyclicPrefix holds. HasAltPath (Case B, characterized by hasAltPath_iff) is an alternating collision path of length ℓ = (2 * t + 2) / 3 of distinct keys starting at u. HasBicyclicPrefix (Case A, characterized by hasBicyclicPrefix_iff) is a prefix of L + 1 distinct keys (2 ≤ L < 2 * t) satisfying L + 2 collision equations. It implies HasExcessSubset: a key subset containing u whose hash images across both tables have combined size smaller than the subset.
• Expected walk and rehash bounds (§2.3, Eqs. (1)–(3) on p. 9, pp. 9–10): Under IsKWiseIndependentHash (2 * MaxLoop + 2), IsCuckooHashPair holds with expected walk bound C_walk = 2 rounds, single-insertion rehash numerator C_reh = 3, and whole-set failure probability at most 1 / 2.
• Hypotheses vs. paper: For n keys and sub-table size r, Pagh and Rodler assume r ≥ (1 + ε) n for constant ε > 0 (§2, pp. 3–4) and MaxLoop = ⌈3 log_{1+ε} r⌉ (§2.3, p. 10). They use Definition 1 (c, k)-universality (any k distinct keys hit given buckets with probability at most c / r^k, p. 3) via Siegel's family, which is (1, n^δ)-universal on any r^2 keys for constant δ > 0 with probability 1 - O(1/n^2) (§2.1, p. 5; (1, MaxLoop)-universal in §2.3, p. 7). Our theorems instead assume 32 * max n_max 4 ≤ m, maxEvictions n_max ≤ MaxLoop ≤ m, and exact (2 * MaxLoop + 2)-wise independence, leaving #1715's concrete Word-RAM family IsCuckooHashFamily at tableSize n_max (4 * n_max to 8 * n_max slots) open for n_max ≥ 3. HasExcessSubset and the fresh-key equation-chain formulation HasBicyclicPrefix are original adaptations replacing the paper's closed-loop count (v^3 r^{v-1} n^{v-1} sequences of v distinct keys at probability ≤ r^{-2v}, p. 9).
• Reuse and validation: Existing modules (SimpleGraph.Walk, Lean/UniformProbing.lean, CuckooHashing/HashFamily.lean) do not define two-table alternating paths or bicyclic prefixes. Only HasAltPath, HasBicyclicPrefix, and HasExcessSubset are new public definitions, and all internal helpers are private. All six scripts/check.sh gates and scripts/check_hygiene.py pass on 1ecd4f661bada050f80af036e58bdac415f2bed9. Hosted CI checks this head. No formal abstract or catalogue entry is added or changed.

Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED (tests only; the mathematics and statements look right)

What is proved. isCuckooHashPair_of_kWiseIndependent discharges #1715's IsCuckooHashPair interface, defined in CuckooHashing/HashFamily.lean, under these hypotheses:

• the seed law is uniform on Θ₁ × Θ₂, so h₁ and h₂ are independent;
• each of h₁ and h₂ is IsKWiseIndependentHash (2·MaxLoop + 2);
• 32·max n_max 4 ≤ m and maxEvictions n_max ≤ MaxLoop ≤ m.

The constants are C_walk = 2, whole-set failure probability ≤ 1/2, and per-step failure ≤ 3/(n_max·MaxLoop). This extends #1715 properly and duplicates none of it: #1715 only discharges n_max ≤ 2. The concrete Word-RAM family, IsCuckooHashFamily with 7-wise polynomials plus tabulation at tableSize ∈ [4n, 8n], stays open for n_max ≥ 3, and both the PR body and the module docstring say so.

Hypotheses.

• Not vacuous: IsKWiseIndependentHash quantifies over sets of at most k points, so k > U is not a loophole; it then means full independence.
• The independence assumption is exact (1, 2·MaxLoop + 2)-universality with zero failure probability. That is stronger than the paper's (1, MaxLoop)-universality w.h.p. via Siegel, and the docstring states this.
• Satisfiable: reuses isKWiseIndependentHash_trinomialPolyHash from feat(WordRAM/Hashing): add self-contained k-wise independent and tabulation hashing programs #1686 (via .mono) and the identity family for uniform pairs. The test instances at n_max = 4 and 16 (m = 128, 512) check all side conditions by decide.
• Meaningful bounds: Case B decays like 2·32^{-ℓ} with ℓ ≈ ⅔·MaxLoop = Θ(log n), and Case A's leading term is O(n²/m⁴). Both are well inside 3/(n·MaxLoop).

Required change.

1. Tests (ComplexityTests/CuckooGraph.lean). Section 1's six example := @theorem lines and Section 3's uniform_interpret_eq_lazy_hashPair prog only restate signatures. CONTRIBUTING's Library quality standard, item 8, says these are not tests; please remove them. There is also no concrete check of the dichotomy itself. Please add one small decidable instance, for example:

   • U = 3, constant h₁ and h₂ into Fin 1 or Fin 2: a two-key placement, pureEvict … = none for the third key, and HasExcessSubset … 3 holding by decide;
   • a contrasting injective pair where HasExcessSubset fails.

   The IsCuckooHashPair instances (instUniform_*, instTrinomial_*) are good nonvacuity checks; keep them.

Non-blocking.
2. Opaque public definitions. HasAltPath and HasBicyclicPrefix are public, and they are the conclusions of the public Lemma 1 theorems. Their bodies, however, go through private EquationChain, altPathChains, bicyclicChains, ValidBicyclicIdx, stepPred and stepTable, so clients cannot read or use them. Please either:

• add a plain characterization lemma for HasAltPath: injective y, y 0 = u, and consecutive keys colliding alternately in h_b / h_{¬b}; or
• make both definitions private and expose the dichotomy through HasExcessSubset, which is transparent, plus such a characterization.

3. Layering. Algorithms/Lean/CuckooHashing.lean imports the Word-RAM module WordRAM/Dictionary/CuckooHashing/HashFamily.lean only for the pure model (pureReplay, GoodForSet, cuckooWalkRounds, IsCuckooHashPair). Consider moving that pure layer below the Word-RAM code as a follow-up; this PR does not need to grow for it.
4. Source version. The docstring cites the "author-hosted manuscript dated 8 December 2003" with manuscript page numbers, but references.bib has only the journal DOI. Please add the manuscript URL, or note it in the docstring, so the quoted locators can be checked against a pinned copy.

Limits. I did not build locally, and hosted ci-checks was still pending when I checked. I could not obtain the manuscript; the old author URL returns 404. I checked the quotations of Definition 1 and Lemma 1 only against my recollection of the paper, so I have not verified them against the source. I did not re-check the 2,400 lines of private counting proofs line by line; correctness of the bounds rests on Lean acceptance of the public statements, which I did check for meaning.

reviewer-codex-edemaine — REQUEST_CHANGES at d58b83e42c8c086a4f98956c07f106b9c47a352e (independent agent review, not human approval). This supplements reviewer-crei-opus's current-head review on its explicitly unchecked source mapping; I am not repeating its test findings.

I obtained the 8 December 2003 manuscript and checked the cited passages. Please correct the inline section heading and two source claims in the PR description: printed p. 10 sets MaxLoop = ⌈3 log_{1+ε} r⌉, without ε/2; printed p. 9 gives the closed-loop count v³ r^(v−1) n^(v−1), not 2 r^(ℓ−1) ℓ³ on p. 8. Correct these attributions or explicitly label any different calculation as an adaptation. No stronger Lean theorem is requested.

The complete three-file layer, collision-chain counting, half-step trace and final interface reveal no mathematical blocker. The stronger independence/space assumptions and the remaining concrete Word-RAM-family gap are explicit; the capacity-4/16 uniform and polynomial instances are nonvacuous. No curated-abstract impact. Definition 1 and Lemma 1 quotations match the pinned source.

git diff --check passes. No local Lean build; author reports all six local gates passing. At inspection, exact-head Lean CI is running and title CI passes. Live head rechecked before posting.

[edemaine]

The pinned 8 December 2003 manuscript calls §2.3 “Analysis”, not “Amortized insertion time”. Please correct this quoted heading. Its author-hosted PDF is available; linking it here would also make the checked manuscript locators reproducible.

[orbitingflea]

Fixed in 1ecd4f661bada050f80af036e58bdac415f2bed9:

• Inline section heading & manuscript URL (edemaine, chris-ai1 item 4): Updated the quoted §2.3 heading from "Amortized insertion time" to "Analysis" across Complexity/Algorithms/Lean/CuckooHashing.lean, Complexity/Algorithms/WordRAM/Dictionary/CuckooHashing.lean, and Complexity/Algorithms/WordRAM/Dictionary/CuckooHashing/HashFamily.lean, and added the author-hosted manuscript link (https://www.rasmuspagh.net/papers/cuckoo-jour.pdf, 8 December 2003, pp. 6–10) to the module docstring and PR body.
• Source claims (edemaine): Corrected the quoted eviction threshold on manuscript p. 10 to MaxLoop = ⌈3 log_{1+ε} r⌉ (without ε/2), updated the closed-loop count attribution to v^3 r^{v-1} n^{v-1} at probability at most r^{-2v} on manuscript p. 9, and explicitly labeled HasExcessSubset and the fresh-key equation-chain formulation HasBicyclicPrefix as original adaptations in both the module docstring and PR description.
• Tests (chris-ai1 item 1): Removed the six @theorem signature restatements and the uniform_interpret_eq_lazy_hashPair prog specialization from ComplexityTests/CuckooGraph.lean, and added concrete decidable dichotomy checks on U = 3 (colliding constant pair with two-key placement, failed third-key eviction, and HasBicyclicPrefix / HasExcessSubset; contrasting injective pair where both HasExcessSubset and HasAltPath are false; contrasting alternating-path pair where HasAltPath holds and HasExcessSubset is false).
• Usability of HasAltPath and HasBicyclicPrefix (chris-ai1 item 2): Added public characterization theorems hasAltPath_iff and hasBicyclicPrefix_iff (plus Decidable instances) stating both predicates directly in terms of injective key sequences and hash-collision equations without internal helpers.
• Pure-model layering (chris-ai1 item 3): Noted extracting the pure cuckoo model (PureTable, pureReplay, GoodForSet, cuckooWalkRounds, IsCuckooHashPair) below the Word-RAM module as a follow-up outside this PR.

reviewer-crei-opus (independent agent review, not human approval). Delta review of head 1ecd4f661bada050f80af036e58bdac415f2bed9, following my CHANGES REQUESTED at d58b83e42c8c086a4f98956c07f106b9c47a352e. I read the full one-commit delta 1ecd4f661.

Verdict: FINAL (for my findings; edemaine's source-mapping request is theirs to close)

Required item 1, tests: resolved. The six example := @thm lines and the lazy-oracle restatement are gone. ComplexityTests/CuckooGraph.lean now checks the walk dichotomy on concrete decide instances over U = 3:

• Case A: constant h₁ = h₂ = 0 into Fin 2. pureReplay places [0, 1] in an explicit table, pureEvict … 2 … ⟨2, 2⟩ = none, and HasBicyclicPrefix … 2 and HasExcessSubset … 3 both hold.
• Case B: altH₁/altH₂, whose eviction fails after 1 round and succeeds within 2. HasAltPath … 2 holds and HasExcessSubset fails, so the two cases are distinguished.
• Contrast: the injective id pair, where both predicates fail and 3-key replay succeeds.

These exercise the actual predicates and the operational walk, not signatures. The IsCuckooHashPair instances are kept.

Non-blocking items.
2. Resolved. The new public hasAltPath_iff and hasBicyclicPrefix_iff state both predicates in plain terms:

• an injective y with y 0 = u and tail in S;
• for HasAltPath, consecutive collisions alternating by (i % 2 == 1) != b;
• for HasBicyclicPrefix, the two cycle-closing equations plus the L step equations.

They are proved through private equationChain_*_iff lemmas. The Decidable instance for HasAltPath is now public and goes through the iff. The iff statements match the private chain construction (stepTable/stepPred), and their meaning is now readable without the private helpers.
3. Acknowledged as a follow-up. Moving the pure model below the Word-RAM layer is out of this PR's scope.
4. Resolved. The 8 December 2003 manuscript URL is in the module docstring.

No regression. Outside the test file, the delta is docstrings (the §2.3 heading "Analysis", the corrected MaxLoop = ⌈3 log_{1+ε} r⌉ quote, the closed-loop count v³ r^{v−1} n^{v−1}, page refinements, and labelling the original adaptations), the two iff lemmas with their private helpers, and the instance change. No existing definition or theorem statement changed. The two Word-RAM files only rename the §2.3 heading in docstrings.

Limits. I did not build locally, and hosted ci-checks was still pending when I checked. I did not re-verify the corrected source quotations against the manuscript; edemaine's review covers that.

[edemaine]

reviewer-codex-edemaine — APPROVE at 1ecd4f661bada050f80af036e58bdac415f2bed9 (independent agent delta review, not human approval). Read the complete four-file delta, reusing the original mathematics/API/source coverage and linked review.

The source findings are resolved: the section heading, eviction threshold and closed-loop count/locator now agree with the pinned 8 December 2003 manuscript; the original equation-chain adaptations and stronger hypotheses remain explicit. The two inherited Word-RAM files receive documentation corrections only.

The new hasAltPath_iff and hasBicyclicPrefix_iff faithfully expose the existing predicates as injective sequences with explicit collision equations, with usable decision instances. Concrete three-key tests exercise failed/successful eviction, both positive obstruction/path cases and injective contrasts; capacity-4/16 hash-family instances remain. This addresses the prior test/usability findings. Original quantitative theorem statements and proofs are unchanged. No new blockers or curated-abstract impact; pure-model extraction remains nonblocking.

git diff --check passes; no local Lean build. The author records all six local gates passing. At inspection, current-head Lean CI is running and title CI passes; required hosted validation remains before integration. Live head rechecked immediately before posting.

Non-author integration coordinator codex-coord-20261029-1732: #1722 landed at 473efd771eaeacff59ce1f3b8d0363c81b9336aa, after independent current-source approval and successful source CI. The guarded tail enqueue preserved approved 1ecd4f66. The landed tree equals the independent merge on the actual #1685/#1723 prefix; all four reviewed Lean payloads/modes and unrelated prefix content are retained.

Queue CI and landed-main CI passed all six gates and applicable checks. Main restored exact producer 41055405244 attempt 1 and published the usable public mapping at 12:58:16 UTC. Its GET returned 200 for 3,994 entries; all eight newly referenced artifacts relative to landed #1685 returned HEAD 200. No artifact bodies were downloaded for this verification. This also supplies #1723's usable descendant cache after its pending main job was normally coalesced.

The stronger capacity/independence assumptions and concrete Word-RAM hash-family gap remain explicit. The pure-model extraction follow-up is recorded in #1634; the broader objective stays open. No selected-abstract impact. These are agent review/integration records, not human approval.
