feat(core): PR 5 of 8 — Fusion catalog (MapMap / FilterFilter / MapFilter)#4566
Conversation
…aces onto Op<'T> base class
PR 1 of an 8-PR campaign that wires the algebra-capability system from
declarative-but-unenforced markers into a load-bearing, uniformly-detected
property surface on every operator (internal + plugin).
## What changes
`Op` base class (Circuit.fs) gains four abstract properties — `IsLinear`,
`IsBilinear`, `IsSink`, `IsStatefulStrict` — each defaulting to `false`.
Concrete operators override only the capabilities they actually have.
Until this change, the algebra tags lived ONLY as plugin marker
interfaces in PluginApi.fs and were ignored by `PluginOperatorAdapter`
(which detected `IStrictOperator`/`IAsyncOperator`/`INestedFixpointParticipant`
but not the algebra markers). That asymmetry meant:
- Internal operators (MapZSetOp, JoinZSetOp, etc.) had no capability
surface at all — algebra was implicit-by-code-shape.
- Plugin operators declared capabilities via marker interfaces but
`PluginOperatorAdapter` discarded the declarations.
- Consumers (Incremental.IncrementalJoin, future Fusion/IncrementalAuto)
had no uniform way to ask "is this operator linear?" without
custom type tests per call site.
## Non-generic marker pattern
F# generic-interface tests require exact type-parameter match —
`(box plugin) :? IBilinearOperator<obj, obj, 'TOut>` against a concrete
`IBilinearOperator<int, string, decimal>` returns false. The fix is the
BCL `IEnumerable` / `IEnumerable<T>` pattern: a non-generic marker
interface (`ILinearMarker`, `IBilinearMarker`, `ISinkMarker`,
`IStatefulStrictMarker`) for runtime `:?` tests, and the typed interface
inheriting the marker. Plugin authors continue implementing the typed
interface; the marker is satisfied automatically via interface
inheritance.
`PluginOperatorAdapter` now caches one `:?` check per marker at
construction (zero per-tick cost) and surfaces the results through
the new `Op` overrides.
## Internal-operator overrides
| Operator | Capability | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|
| MapZSetOp, FilterZSetOp, FlatMapZSetOp, NegZSetOp | IsLinear=true | Z-set algebra: distributes over addition, op(0)=0 |
| IndexWithOp | IsLinear=true | Indexing distributes over per-key value-group sum |
| JoinZSetOp, CartesianZSetOp, IndexedJoinOp | IsBilinear=true | Weights multiply; per-arg linear; op(0,b)=op(a,0)=0 |
| DelayOp, IntegrateOp, DifferentiateOp | IsLinear=true | Time-shift / running-sum / difference commute with group |
| FilterMapOp, FilterMapOptionalOp | IsLinear=true | Composition of linear ops |
| PlusZSetOp, MinusZSetOp | (default false) | Additive but NOT unary-linear: Plus(0,b)=b≠0 |
| DistinctZSetOp, DistinctIncrementalOp | (default false) | Clamps weights — breaks linearity |
| GroupBySumOp | (default false) | Output keys depend on summed weights, breaks linearity |
| ConstantOp | (default false) | Affine; const_c(0)=c≠0 unless c=0 |
## Tests
21 new tests in `tests/Tests.FSharp/Plugin/Capabilities.Tests.fs`:
- 15 internal-operator capability tests (one per named op)
- 5 plugin-marker-detection tests via PluginOperatorAdapter
- 1 negative test: plain IOperator plugin reports all caps false
All 31 plugin tests pass (10 pre-existing + 21 new); 480 / 481 broader
operator/algebra/circuit tests pass (1 SKIP is pre-existing). Build
clean: 0 warnings, 0 errors on full solution Release build.
## Foundation for PRs 2-8
This is the load-bearing dependency for:
- PR 2: Circuit.Build() consults IsSink for terminal-placement
enforcement (the docstring promise that's currently vapor).
- PR 4: IncrementalAuto dispatcher reads IsLinear/IsBilinear to
pick Q^Δ=Q vs three-term-bilinear vs D∘Q∘I fallback.
- PR 5: FusionEngine composes capability tags through DAG rewrite.
- PRs 6-8: push/morsel/codegen architectures all need uniform
capability surfacing to dispatch correctly.
No public-API breakage: the marker interfaces still work the same
way for plugin authors; the new Op-base-class properties are
purely additive.
…ter — PR 5 of 8 Adds three new fused operators to `Fusion.fs`, each declaring the correct `IsLinear` capability tag (from PR 1, #4558). Each fused op saves one intermediate `ZSet` allocation and one scheduler dispatch vs the equivalent manual chain. ## New operators - `MapMapOp<'A, 'B, 'C>` — `map g ∘ map f` in one pass. Function composition is inlined per-entry; output keys may collide so sort+consolidate is still required. API: `circuit.MapMap(s, f, g)` - `FilterFilterOp<'K>` — `filter p₂ ∘ filter p₁` with short-circuit on `p₁`. Filter preserves keys + uniqueness so no sort needed. API: `circuit.FilterFilter(s, p1, p2)` - `MapFilterOp<'A, 'B>` — `filter p ∘ map f` (predicate sees the *mapped* value `'B`). Distinct from `FilterMapOp` which is `map f ∘ filter p`. Saves intermediate ZSet + the separate filter sort pass. API: `circuit.MapFilter(s, f, p)` All three: - Override `IsLinear = true` (linear composition of linear ops) - Skip the input.IsEmpty fast path correctly - Pool-rent + Pool.FreezeSlice for the output buffer - Use `ZSetBuilder.sortAndConsolidate` when output keys can collide (MapMap + MapFilter); skip the sort when they can't (FilterFilter) ## Tests (10 new in Fusion.Tests.fs, 20/20 total pass) For each new operator: - Basic correctness (specific inputs → expected outputs) - Compositional equivalence: fused output == manual chain output - IsLinear capability tag verified Plus MapMap-specific: - Colliding output keys consolidate correctly (modulo-based example where {1, 2, 3, 4} → {0, 1} via composition) ## What this PR is NOT This PR ships the *catalog* of fused operators. It does NOT ship a DAG-rewriter that automatically detects `circuit.Map(circuit.Map(s, f), g)` and replaces it with `circuit.MapMap(s, f, g)` at `Circuit.Build()` time. That rewriter would require: - Operator-graph mutation (current Circuit has immutable Inputs) - Capability composition rules (Linear ∘ Linear = Linear, etc.) - Schedule rebuild after fusion That's an invasive Circuit refactor and ships in its own PR (call it PR 5.1 / 5.2). The catalog here is the *target* the rewriter would emit; without the catalog the rewriter would have nowhere to emit *to*. So this PR is load-bearing for the rewriter's design. ## Dependency PR 5 depends on PR 1 (#4558) for the `Op.IsLinear` field that the new operators override. Stacked on `feat/op-capability-tags-2026-05-21`. ## Foundation for later work - DAG rewriter (PR 5.1) consumes this catalog - PR 6 (push-based) can register push-equivalent variants of these fused ops for hot-path sub-circuits - PR 8 (codegen) can emit these directly from query expression trees

Preserve checked-overflow behavior in MapFilter fusion
MapFilterOp filters mapped rows before consolidation, but the documented equivalent chain Filter(Map(...)) consolidates first in ZSet.map and only then filters. Because weight summation is checked, this changes observable behavior: if multiple input keys map to a key that is later filtered out (for example weights Int64.MaxValue and 1L), the manual chain throws OverflowException during map consolidation while the fused path silently drops those rows and succeeds. That makes the fused operator non-equivalent for overflow-sensitive inputs and can hide data-corruption signals.

Do not mark non-zero DelayOp as linear
DelayOp is marked IsLinear = true for all instances, but Delay(initial) is affine whenever initial is not the algebraic zero (op(0) emits initial on the first tick). This violates the capability contract and can make capability-based rewrites unsound for callers using Circuit.Delay(s, initial) with non-zero initial values.

…rdination of load-bearing-substrate changes (#4575) Mechanizes the human-as-coordination-substrate pattern Aaron explicitly named 2026-05-21 ("i'm here right now" — for now ferrying load-bearing- substrate-change notifications between AI surfaces; trajectory is bus- based mechanization). ## The gap this row addresses When one AI surface lands a load-bearing substrate change — capability tags on `Op<'T>` (PR #4558), `IncrementalAuto`'s chain-walk logic (#4567), new files in `.claude/rules/`, new computation expressions — other AI surfaces working in adjacent substrate need to inherit the change for their next session. Today: Aaron ferries. Cluster-scale (10-20 surfaces per Aaron's $100k cluster expansion 2026-05-21): human-ferry breaks empirically. ## The mechanism New bus topic `substrate-surface-change` (extends `tools/bus/`): - **Publish discipline**: after any PR landing that modifies load- bearing surfaces, publishing AI calls `bun tools/bus/publish.ts --topic substrate-surface-change --from <sender-id> --payload <json>`. - **Subscribe discipline (cold-boot)**: AI bootstreams extend to include `bun tools/bus/list.ts --topic substrate-surface-change --since 24h` — recent envelopes show "what load-bearing substrate changed in the last 24h." - **Retention**: 7d default; expired envelopes fall back to auto- loaded rules + commit history. The envelope is the *cache* of recent changes; the *truth* is the substrate itself. ## What this row does NOT do - Does NOT replace auto-loaded `.claude/rules/` inheritance (that stays the durable substrate) - Does NOT replace claim-acquire-before-worktree-work (that stays the per-row collision prevention) - Does NOT replace Knights Guild / KSK (that stays the policy gate) It complements all three by adding the **recent-changes-cache** layer that closes the "I just shipped X; how do other surfaces find out before their next session?" gap. ## Composition with broader trajectory - B-0400 — bus protocol substrate this row extends - B-0689 — Otto-VSCode SENDER_IDS pattern this row leans on for `from` field - B-0695 — fast/life-branch experiment; sibling coordination-cost-reduction - Algebra-campaign PRs (#4558/#4560/#4563/#4566/#4567) — substrate-surface changes that would have benefited from this envelope pattern ## Substrate-honest framing on the file itself Filed per Aaron's explicit "feel free we can'thave too much backlog in my opinion the infinate backlog win when labor=0" framing, applying the `largest-mechanizable-backlog-wins.md` discipline. Recalibrated from earlier "I won't file unilaterally" reasoning — that was a misapplication of the row-collision lesson (which was about coordination, not about backlog overhead).
Summary
Expands the
Fusion.fsoperator catalog with three new fused single-pass operators. Each declaresIsLinear = true(the PR 1 capability tag). Each saves one intermediateZSetallocation + one scheduler dispatch vs the manual chain.MapMap(s, f, g)map g ∘ map fFilterFilter(s, p1, p2)filter p₂ ∘ filter p₁p₁MapFilter(s, f, p)filter p ∘ map fFilterMap)PR 5 of 8. Depends on PR 1 (#4558) for
Op.IsLinear.What this PR is NOT
Ships the catalog only. Does NOT ship a DAG-rewriter that auto-detects
Map(Map(s, f), g)and rewrites it toMapMap(s, f, g)atCircuit.Build()time. That rewriter requires Circuit refactors (immutableOp.Inputswould need to become rewriteable, schedule rebuild after fusion, etc.) and ships in its own PR. The catalog here is the target the rewriter would emit; it's load-bearing for that work.Tests (10 new, 20/20 fusion tests pass)
For each new operator:
IsLinear = truecapability verifiedPlus MapMap-specific: colliding output keys consolidate correctly (uses modulo-based fixture where {1,2,3,4} → {0,1} via composition).
