"""SimReal monthly-close controlled verifier experiment. Python 3.10+, stdlib only. Run: python3 ledger-attack-lab.py > ledger-attack-results.json The baseline is deliberately incomplete, constructed for this experiment. The hardened verifier adds evidence, net-effect and budget checks. This is an offline accounting model with synthetic integer-cent fixtures, not a live ERP integration or a record of production incidents. Passing these cases is not a security proof.
