Install the emitter's own bytes for the infer mirror that #10402 hand-aligned (build lane red on main)

[gunbai-bot]

src/v1/stage0/src/v1_compiler_infer.rs carries // Generated by v1 compiler -- do not edit. as its first line. #10402 changed its authority src/v1/04_infer.dag and hand-aligned the mirror in the same commit, listing "Align generated inference mirror" as its own step. The regen phase then compared those hand-written bytes against a fresh emit and refused:

required-ci: regen FAIL generated surface drift: v1_compiler_infer.rs

That has held the required build lane red on main from 3465831301 (#10402) through c3bf89d233. Both required lanes were green at 0ed8345026. #10444 takes the floor half of the same commit's fallout; this is the build half.

The question I asked before writing anything

A regeneration is the convenient repair and it looks finished either way. Two readings fit the evidence:

• (a) the hand-alignment is simply not byte-equal to the emitter's output — repair is to install the emitter's bytes;
• (b) the emitter cannot emit the construct Enforce concrete nominal record inhabitance at declarations #10402 added, and the hand-edit exists because of that — in which case regenerating would compile, green the lane, and silently delete Enforce concrete nominal record inhabitance at declarations #10402's enforcement from the seed, leaving it live in the .dag authority and absent from the mirror with a green build over the gap. That is a fabricated plausible output in the §5 sense, landed by an author following the sanctioned recipe.

These have opposite repairs, so I ran the discriminator first rather than picking.

What the measurement says: (a), decisively

A fresh claim_executor --required-regen writes its candidate tree unconditionally, before adjudicating (gunbc.rung_drop regen_producer, restoration condition "production now precedes adjudication", fired 2026-09-01). In that candidate:

• nominal_product_inhabitance_refusal — the construct Enforce concrete nominal record inhabitance at declarations #10402 introduced — appears 3 times, identical to the committed file. The emitter emits it fully. Nothing is dropped by regenerating.
• Exactly one file in the whole candidate tree differs, v1_compiler_infer.rs, so the log naming only the first refusal was not concealing others.
• The divergence is one hunk in one function: the emitter wraps the body in an enclosing { … } block and indents accordingly; the hand-alignment omitted the wrapper. Same tokens, same control flow, same Some(decl) / Option::None arms.

So this installs the emitter's own bytes for that one function. It is not a semantic change and it is not an emitter change.

Verification

Byte-equality against a fresh emit, over the entire mirror tree — not a compile, and not my patch's fidelity. The committed blob is identical on main and on every branch that merged it (e165ab61aa5), so this lands at the same bytes wherever it goes.

Why the class is worth a sentence

The mechanism worked exactly as designed: a generated projection was hand-edited, and the gate that exists to catch that caught it. DESIGN §6 names "a hand-authored projection the model should generate" as a scaffold tell, and the regen phase is what makes it loud rather than silent.

Verified by fresh emit on the pushed head, not by compile and not by my patch fidelity.

ctrl-build --remote on 1aa8b5727371745fc6adfbdd1f439f51347c1ff4 (confirmed by reading git rev-parse HEAD on the runner, since a truncated log had left that as an inference), mirror blob 22d7898d89cb1b6c96bc80e2234bf1ae1cfee3c4 vs main\s e165ab61aa5af25400dcf90da7e692398c16e446`:

• ALL_MIRRORS_BYTE_EQUAL — every file in target/stage0-regen-candidate/src compares byte-equal to its committed counterpart under src/v1/stage0/src. This is an explicit per-file cmp loop over the whole tree, not a grep of the run log, because remote dispatch is known to drop log lines and a grep-derived absence would be indistinguishable from a dropped one.
• nominal_product_inhabitance_refusal = 3 in the committed file after the change — Enforce concrete nominal record inhabitance at declarations #10402's enforcement is intact in the seed mirror.

Those two together are the check: the drift is gone and the construct that made the convenient repair dangerous is still there.

This PR is mirror-only, so it cannot reach a green aggregate — its floor will refuse on a defect it does not touch. Flagging before you spend cycles waiting on a green that cannot arrive.

Main currently has two independent reds, both left by #10402:

build : regen FAIL generated surface drift: v1_compiler_infer.rs   (emitter changed, mirror not regenerated)
floor : STALE-QUARANTINE ...w_a_different_plain_record_at_a_declared_return_is_refused
        adjudication BLOCKING phase=floor                           (wall landed, expected-red row not retired)

This PR repairs the first. The second is inherited by every composed tree, so required-witnesses-floor will refuse here regardless of how correct the mirror is.

Every partial repair is currently unmergeable, and it is proven from all three directions:

PR	carries	build	floor
#10444	retirement only	FAILURE (mirror)	—
#10438	retirement only	FAILURE (mirror)	PASSED
#10337	mirror (via integrate-main)	SUCCESS	FAILURE (quarantine)
#10450	both halves	pending	pending

So a mirror-only PR gets a green build and a red floor; a retirement-only PR gets the reverse. Pairing two partials does not help either — the first would have to merge red to unblock the second. Two independent reds on a default branch make every partial repair permanently unmergeable.

Your mirror bytes are not in question. Four independent derivations of v1_compiler_infer.rs — this PR, #10450, #10451, and a fourth lanes — all hash to d9392e7818366b5d, against mains 36ace08de63e29e0. The content is settled; only the composition is the problem.

#10450 carries both halves and is currently the only PR that can satisfy the merge floor. It has one approval at its exact head with build and floor pending. Once it lands, main goes green and this PR becomes a no-op.

Suggest holding rather than iterating — there is nothing to fix here, and a re-run would replay the same pinned merge tree. If #10450 fails, the escape is a both-halves composition (adding the one-line retirement to this PR would do it), not two partials landing in sequence.

Superseded — main is repaired. #10450 merged at 9d351d6db0fe, carrying both unlanded halves of #10402.

Verified against main's tree directly rather than from the merge notification:

mirror sha                      d9392e7818366b5d   <- matches all FOUR independent derivations
floor_expected_red enrolled     94 -> 93, the stale identity has 0 enrolled entries
witness still present           declared_type_expected_type_path_witness_test.dag:247

So the expectation of redness was retired and the probe was not — §4b(4) satisfied. The witness now guards the wall #10402 built instead of recording its absence. The only remaining textual mention of the identity is a // annotation recording the observation, which is captured rationale under §4c, not enrollment.

This PR is now a no-op. Recommend closing rather than resolving: there is nothing left for it to repair, and a landing on floor_expected_red.dag or the mirror after this point can only re-open a question that is settled.

Nothing here was wasted, and the record should say why. Four independent derivations of the mirror agreed byte-for-byte (d9392e7818366b5d), and a fifth agreed at symbol level once its own change was factored out — every shared symbol matching, including #10402's own contribution at transparent_alias_representative 7/7. That agreement is the only reason anyone could trust a generated file they did not derive themselves, and it is what made the merge decision available without hand-adjudicating bytes. Convergence across independent authors is evidence; it was not duplication.

The reason so many PRs carried one half is worth recording too: no partial repair could ever have gone green. A retirement-only PR passes floor and fails build; a mirror-only PR passes build and fails floor. Each inherited the other half, and pairing two partials deadlocks because the first would have had to merge red to unblock the second. That is a property of two independent reds on a default branch, not of anyone's work here.

Closing as superseded by #10450, which landed both repairs on main while this was queued.

Not resolving the conflict: rebasing to re-land bytes that are already on main is exactly the redundant work DESIGN §2 prices, and the conflict is only in the comment text of a row both changes delete.

Main's version is equivalent, and one cross-check is worth recording. src/v1/stage0/src/v1_compiler_infer.rs on main is 22d7898d89cb1b6c96bc80e2234bf1ae1cfee3c4 — byte-identical to this branch's. Two independently produced regenerations converged on the same emitter bytes, which is a stronger statement about the emitter than either regeneration alone. Also verified on main: chunk_24 has 6 heads, nominal_product_inhabitance_refusal is present 3× (so #10402's enforcement survives there too), and w_a_different_plain_record_at_a_declared_return_is_refused is still enrolled in its test module as §4b(4) requires.

#10450's comment is also correct on the point that mattered — "SEVEN IDENTITIES WHEN THIS PARAGRAPH WAS WRITTEN, SIX NOW" with the six application rows preserved, and it cites the observing run 33894132929. It does not carry the stale-count defect.

What this PR still leaves behind that is worth reading, since the bytes are redundant but the reasoning was not: the discriminator that established the drift was a transcription near-miss and not an emitter deficit. nominal_product_inhabitance_refusal appeared 3× in the fresh candidate, identical to the committed file. Had it been 0, regenerating would have compiled, greened the lane, and silently deleted #10402's enforcement from the seed. The cheap repair and the correct repair produce the same diff, so nothing in the bytes of #10450 or of this PR shows whether anyone checked. Somebody should have, and this is the record that it was.
