Closes #974.

Summary

  • Add a dedicated RED regression proving arbitrary __float__ protocol objects must be rejected without invoking caller callbacks.
  • Validate/marshal classical selection-utility and Taylor-Russell scalar controls before importing or dereferencing the compiled Rust core.
  • Reject booleans, non-real values, and non-finite reals with package-owned ValueError while preserving genuine NumPy real scalars.
  • Keep all BCG/Naylor-Shine/Taylor-Russell mathematical arithmetic in Rust; Python only validates, marshals, and reports.

Test-first lineage

  • RED: 727e8012cd85d9e38ed0086ae67cefbcef9dcc06
  • GREEN: 7fcc69e887e459d17e161cc8d52036dd2c00b2e6

The branch was cut from protected main 04d0bc21a2a20693bcf16108cd76d394fe844d23 after checking active source-heavy PRs for python/fast_mlsirm/utility.py overlap; observed blobs matched main. Exact-head hosted evidence remains authoritative and this PR stays Draft until current-head gates are complete.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Added stricter validation for selection utility and Taylor-Russell controls.
    • Boolean, non-real, non-finite, and unsupported float-like inputs are now rejected consistently.
    • Validation prevents unsafe conversion callbacks from being invoked.
    • Python floating-point values and NumPy real scalars continue to produce equivalent results.
  • Documentation

    • Added changelog details describing the updated input validation behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

selection_utility and taylor_russell now validate finite real inputs before Rust-core discovery and invocation. The change rejects hostile, boolean, non-real, and non-finite values while preserving Python and NumPy real scalar behavior. Regression tests cover rejection and result parity.

Changes

Utility control-boundary validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validate and marshal utility controls
python/fast_mlsirm/utility.py
The utilities validate and marshal all scalar inputs before invoking Rust. Booleans, non-real values, non-finite values, and hostile float-protocol objects are rejected.
Verify control-boundary behavior
tests/test_utility_control_boundary.py, docs/changelog.d/974-utility-control-boundary.md
Tests cover callback avoidance, invalid controls, and NumPy scalar parity. The changelog records the updated validation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2282a

The numeric validation change can still execute caller-controlled float code and produce unexpected exceptions instead of the documented ValueError. This localized trust-boundary issue should be fixed before merging.

Cover every public scalar position.

The parameterized cases replace only the first argument. They do not verify validation for selection_utility controls sdy, rxy, sr, cost_total, and period, or for taylor_russell controls sr and br.

Add cases for each position. This prevents a future call-site omission from bypassing the trust boundary.

Pull request overview

OpenCode cannot approve yet because required coverage evidence did not pass.

Review outcome

1. HIGH .github/workflows/opencode-review.yml:1 - Coverage evidence did not prove required test/docstring evidence

  • Problem: The required coverage-evidence job result was failure, so OpenCode cannot establish approval sufficiency for this head.

  • Root cause: Automated approval is only valid when the same-head coverage-evidence job proves supported repository test suites passed and configured docstring gates passed or were advisory, or reports not applicable because no supported source files or package manifests exist. Missing, failed, skipped, unavailable, or unsupported-tooling test evidence is a blocker.

  • Fix: Install or configure the repository test/docstring evidence tooling when source files or package manifests exist, rerun the current-head coverage-evidence job, and approve only after it reports success with required evidence or explicit no-source not-applicable evidence.

  • Regression test: Keep the approval branch checking needs.coverage-evidence.result == success before posting APPROVE, and publish REQUEST_CHANGES when coverage-evidence blocker states such as cancelled, skipped, failed, unsupported-tooling, or below-100 evidence are present.

  • Result: REQUEST_CHANGES

  • Reason: coverage-evidence result was failure, so required test/docstring evidence was not proven for current head 92e30348cc50727d77a0a892713b2e917764eada.

@opencode-agent Please re-review unchanged exact head 92e30348cc50727d77a0a892713b2e917764eada against the current central coverage implementation. Repository CI, Security Scan, CodeQL, and Semgrep are terminal-success on this SHA; the earlier numeric-callback finding was fixed on the current lineage. The formal coverage-based CHANGES_REQUESTED predates .github main b71a02a310e77f70c1e59f4719f6857cb33ca886 and its trusted-uv/flat-lock correction. Please generate fresh same-head formal evidence rather than carrying forward superseded central tooling failure.

@opencode-agent Please re-review unchanged exact head 92e30348cc50727d77a0a892713b2e917764eada with the current central workflow. Repository CI, Security Scan, CodeQL, and Semgrep are terminal-success; the valid float-subclass CodeRabbit finding is resolved on this head. The remaining formal REQUEST_CHANGES is coverage-evidence infrastructure failure. Reassess the current utility trust boundary and current coverage evidence without transferring that superseded tooling verdict.

Superseded by #1006 at the identical exact source SHA 92e30348cc50727d77a0a892713b2e917764eada. Repository CI/Security/CodeQL/Semgrep are terminal-success; the CodeRabbit trust-boundary findings are addressed and the inline thread is resolved. The remaining formal REQUEST_CHANGES is solely central coverage-evidence run 32124671613. #1006 provides a fresh current-workflow PR event without source churn, review dismissal, gate weakening, or force-push. Closing this predecessor unmerged avoids duplicate landing vehicles.
