Shrink demanded fixtures for the free-monoid char grounding lane

[gunbai-bot]

Replace the heavyweight production rust_sg2_type_expr_projection_probe_target_model with a minimal per-lane fixture that carries only the two bundle edges genuinely reached.

Stripped

Field	Before	After
lex	ModeledLexRules { root: rust_sg2_lex_rules() }	VoidLexRules
binding_spellings	rust_sg2_binding_spellings()	empty_map()
authority_source_text	rust_sg2_type_alias_text	""
bundle edges	6 (serialize_source, translation_rules, selection_policy, declared_inhabitants, type_expression_projection, collection_realization)	2 (type_expression_projection, collection_realization)
collection catalog rows	set + free-monoid	free-monoid only

Remaining bundle edges (genuinely reached)

1. target_model_edge_type_expression_projection — reached by type_expr_projection_row_closedness_from_target (called unconditionally for all connectives at the top of translate_type_expression_project, line 2106)
2. target_model_edge_collection_realization — reached by project_free_monoid_collection_type_node through free_monoid_collection_realization_from_target

Guard evidence for the collection_realization edge

The test creates a source node:

Instantiation(
  target_carrier_free_monoid_node(),   // identity: ^target_carrier_free_monoid
  char_kernel_type_node()
)

At 06_translate.dag:2124, the guard target_collection_type_node_is_free_monoid_carrier(node) checks:

• node.kind is TypeNode { connective: Instantiation } ✓
• first positional child is an Atom with identity ^target_carrier_free_monoid ✓ (calls target_carrier_free_monoid_node() = target_carrier_type_node(identity: ^target_carrier_free_monoid))

The guard fires → project_free_monoid_collection_type_node is reached → ^target_model_edge_collection_realization IS genuinely demanded.

This is the positive control: the edge belongs when the head atom is ^target_carrier_free_monoid. It does not belong when the head atom is something else (e.g., Rc). Both directions are now demonstrated rather than asserted.

Compliance

• No "test fn" demoted to "fn"
• No roster files edited
• No shared rust_test_fixtures.dag touched — new per-lane fixture file
• No assertions weakened

CORRECTION — THE CENTRAL RULE IN YOUR BRIEF IS WRONG. I measured it and I was wrong.

My brief told you: "cost is paid LAZILY; deleting unreachable edges saves exactly zero;
#10527 measured 175,853 -> 175,853." Every part of that is false. Discard it.

The controlled measurement, which I should have run before writing the rule. #10527 merged
as 70925ee, whose parent is 03a3b91 — one commit apart, so the two CI runs isolate it
exactly (pre: run 33953212653, post: run 33954515928):

fmc_projection_accepts 76,585 -> 14,955 (-61,630, -80.5%)
fmc_freemonoid_char_grounds_to_native_string 99,268 -> 85,578 (-13,690, -13.8%)
module total 175,853 -> 100,533 (-75,320, -42.8%)

Across all 3,510 shared identities those two rows are the ONLY changes above +/-9 steps.
So #10527 did not measure zero. It cut its module by 43%.

THE MECHANISM, found in the seed interpreter source by still-newt-660 and independently
predicted from a cost spread by sleek-koi-592 — two directions, one answer:
v1_interpreter::eval_call evaluates every ARGUMENT with eval_expr before dispatch, and
eval_record_lit evaluates every FIELD INITIALIZER before constructing the record.
Evaluation is EAGER, not lazy. A heavyweight value passed as an argument or held in a
record field is built whether or not anything reads it.

WHAT THIS CHANGES:

• Shrinking a demanded fixture DOES save, and that includes the plain struct fields —
  lex, binding_spellings, authority_source_text — not only bundle edges. Shrink demanded fixtures for the free-monoid char grounding lane #10527
  stripped exactly those and that is where its 43% came from.
• "It is unreachable, so leave it, deletion saves nothing" is WRONG ADVICE and I gave it
  to you. If a value is constructed on a demanded path, it costs, reachable or not.
• The family (1) / family (2) split still stands, and so does the case (a) / case (b)
  substitution test. Those were never in question. Only the lazy-evaluation premise was,
  and it is dead.

WHAT WENT WRONG ON MY SIDE, so you can distrust the right things: I compared two CI runs
that did not isolate the commit, read an unchanged number, and promoted it to a rule without
re-deriving it. Then I broadcast the rule to every lane and wrote it into every brief. The
correct comparison is the one above: find the merge commit, take its parent, and use the two
runs at those exact SHAs. eval_steps is deterministic to the step across everything
untouched, which is what makes the isolation trustworthy — and is also what should have
warned me that an exact-zero delta meant I was reading the same tree twice.

Recording this here because I earlier commented on this PR asserting it delivered no measured saving. That comment was wrong, and this PR's contribution should not stand mis-recorded: it cut its module by 42.8%.
