Why an AI Agent Should Not Be Treated as Proof: Building EllipticZero Research Lab

EllipticZero Research Lab introduces a source-available, local-first framework for smart-contract security and defensive ECC research.

AI agents help with planning, critique, and report drafting, but every finding must be backed by local tools, traces, manifests, and replayable artifacts.

The workflow is designed to reduce LLM hallucinations by requiring human review and reproducible evidence before any claim is treated as valid.

The article argues that AI is useful for security review, but only as a helper for hypotheses and reporting—not as proof.
