Do not merge #915 at b1ffa305. The control path is the right #914 fix; the public suite on this head does not yet prove the cases the issue and doctoring note claim. Land successor #934 (55070a98) or cherry-pick that commit onto this branch, then merge the evidenced head after exact-head required CI is green.
What is already correct
n_draws / seed / device are identity-checked and bounded before _core_module(). Booleans, int/str subclasses, and hostile scalar metaclasses cannot run __int__ / __str__ / __hash__ / __eq__ on the trust decision. Rust still owns posterior reduction and sampling. No formula-scope change.
CodeRabbit on this SHA raised 1 minor doc nit and no code defects. The NIST SP 800-218 Rev. 1 wording should stay Initial Public Draft: the publication page still uses that title; the SSDF list Status column saying Draft is not a designation change.
What blocks merge
This head is missing pre-core proof for bool / np.bool_, floats, n_draws 0 / MAX_DRAWS+1, __index__ providers, and valid-request core discovery exactly once. Those regressions are in #934 and passed locally (21 tests).
The PR body still says Draft and cites exact head bbc640a9 / base fb67ced0. Rewrite it to the live SHAs when this branch is the merge candidate.
Out of #914 scope
Bundle quadrature / _pos_int, response float(...), explicit prior, and score_respondents / bank_information / cat_next_item str(device) still use generic coercion. Open a follow-up after #914 closes. Do not pile that onto #915.
Next action
Merge #934 (or cherry-pick 55070a98 here), refresh the PR body to the live head, and treat queued Noema/Strix/CI time as non-blocking while that evidence is on the merge candidate.

This suite proves hostile int/str subclasses, metaclass hash/eq, seed u64 bounds, and device="cuda" before _core_module(). It does not yet prove the rest of the #914 contract: True/False/np.bool_, 1.5/np.float64, n_draws=0 and MAX_DRAWS+1, an __index__ provider, or that a valid request discovers the core exactly once.
test_security_hardening.py still skips extreme n_draws without a compiled core and does not assert _core_module was never called for n_draws=1.5.
Add those cases here (DETECT #904 / G-theory sibling pattern). They are already on successor #934; cherry-pick 55070a98 or land that PR instead of merging this head.

This bound is the right serving contract (1..MAX_DRAWS) and it now runs before native discovery. There is no pre-core test on this head for n_draws=0 or MAX_DRAWS+1. Without that, a later edit can move discovery back above the bound and CI will not catch it. #934 adds those cases.

Keep Initial Public Draft here. NIST's publication page is still titled NIST SP 800-218 Rev. 1 (Initial Public Draft) at csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/218/r1/ipd. The SSDF publications table Status column saying Draft is a generic draft flag, not a retitling. Do not apply the CodeRabbit wording change.

Closes #914.
Problem
The public
plausible_valuesserving boundary on protected main discovered the native core before validating request controls and generically coercedn_draws,seed, anddevice. That permitted caller-defined conversion callbacks during marshalling, allowed malformed controls to cross the native-loader boundary, and left the Python seed contract wider than the Rust/PyO3u64signature.Test-first lineage
