stoc-reproducibility
Use when hardening a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) paper so its results can be independently checked — proof completeness across the extended-abstract/full-version split, single-source builds that prevent statement drift between the two documents, and determinism for any computation a claim relies on.

# STOC Reproducibility
For a proofs-only venue, "reproducible" means a third party can verify every
claimed theorem without contacting the authors. STOC's structure makes this a
**two-document problem** that pure-appendix venues do not have: the committee
reads a 12-page guaranteed window, the community reads the arXiv/ECCC full
version, and the paper is only as checkable as the *pair* is consistent. No
checklist form enforces any of this — the STOC 2026 CFP contains none (checked
2026-07-08) — so the discipline below is self-imposed or absent.
## Statement drift: the STOC-specific failure
Whenever the same theorem exists in two documents, the versions decay apart:
a hypothesis strengthened during a proof repair gets updated in one file only; a
