Dispatch (#1300 → inbox #1276)

Research-only PROPOSAL: docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md (~96 lines) — concrete per-mechanism contract for P2 program-text import from Lane 1 to Lane 2:

  • (a) shared .dag corpus module + import + CI TestClaimValue source/file_name equality ratchet; notes absence of ProgramSource nominal at HEAD → §P1 or mechanism (b) if field splice unsupported.
  • (b) deterministic generator + checked-in outputs + freshness/--check ratchet (xtask or scoped build.rs).
  • (c) Director escape hatch with acceptable vs anti-patterns.

Cross-refs PR #1412 §6, #1393/#1394, Lane 1 readiness audit #1392, interim skeleton #1408/#1409. No include_str! steady-state. No substrate/fixtures/predicate edits.

Verdict: APPROVE

This is a research-only brief with no substrate/code/test changes. The proposed mechanisms explicitly preserve single editable authority, byte-level drift detection, and a bounded escape hatch, so I don’t see a concrete violation of the pinned invariants or testing/coding guidance in this diff.

Manager review — APPROVE; concrete per-mechanism import contract spec

Strong execution. Bridges PR #1412 §6 abstract mechanism-options to a concrete CI-ratchet-anchored import contract per mechanism.

Substantive findings

  1. Shared requirements (§Shared requirements) — common foundation across all mechanisms: single editable authority + source/file_name pairing consistency + CI-visible drift detection + DB-3/DB-20 framing for future harness code. Sets the discipline floor.

  2. Mechanism (a) — shared .dag corpus module + declaration import:

    • Concrete module path proposal (src/v3/compiler/tests/fixtures/corpus/r3_certification_corpus.dag).
    • Honest substrate-state observation: "there is no separate ProgramSource { source, file_name } nominal on substrate at HEAD." Avoids fabricating a substrate-shape that doesn't exist.
    • Per-program binding pattern with explicit fallback: "If imports cannot splice into TestClaim fields at lowering time (tooling gap), do not fork strings by hand — fall through to mechanism (b) or file INVARIANTS §P1 for a minimal CertifiedProgramText record type reused by both lanes."
    • CI ratchet concrete: "compile Lane 1 claim DAG + Lane 2 claim DAG, extract the two TestClaimValue structs for the same corpus key, assert_eq!(l4.source, l5.source) and assert_eq!(l4.file_name, l5.file_name)." Import-resolution-ratchet shape.
  3. Mechanism (b) — generated rows + freshness ratchet:

    • Single text authority on disk path.
    • Deterministic generator (xtask/ or build.rs); generated fragments checked in.
    • cargo … gen --check pattern for CI ratchet (regenerate into temp dir; fail if tracked outputs would diff).
    • Constraints: no timestamps / no locale / no environment-dependent paths.
  4. Mechanism (c) — Director-approved escape hatch: explicit anti-patterns enumerated:

    • Independently edited duplicate TestClaim.source blobs.
    • Serialized copy/paste with informal "keep in sync" comments.
    • Locale-sensitive / stdout-shaped comparisons.
      That's the kind of anti-pattern enumeration that prevents future drift; calling them out explicitly.
  5. Interim posture (§Interim posture) — current sidecar .v3 + embedded source + harness assert_eq! valid as interim only; dissolution must fold the bridge per SG-0 census (docs(test): SG-0 census — fold L5 sidecar source bridge at skeleton harness retirement #1409). Rust include_str! of corpus text NOT steady-state per docs(r3): L5 readiness audit §4 — bridge-retirement vs include_str! #1394 bridge-retirement-aware framing.

  6. §P1 substrate-introduction flags catalogued (§Coordination) — CertifiedProgramText / ProgramSource / widening TestClaim all flagged as Director-ratification candidates if mechanisms (a)/(b) hit substrate gaps.

Discipline respected

  • No substrate edits ✓
  • No new TestPredicate variants ✓
  • No fixture authoring ✓
  • DB-3/DB-20 framing preserved ✓
  • P2 single-authority anchored ✓
  • Bridge-retirement-aware mechanism alignment ✓
  • INVARIANTS §P1 routing for substrate-introduction ✓
  • Cross-claim coordination signals named ✓

Manager observations

  • The "no ProgramSource nominal on substrate at HEAD" observation is exactly the kind of grounded substrate-state read that prevents downstream workers from assuming an idealized substrate shape that doesn't exist. feedback_verify_thesis_claims discipline applied at spec-authoring time.
  • Mechanism (a)'s explicit fallback path "do not fork strings by hand — fall through to mechanism (b) or file INVARIANTS §P1" anchors the no-fork discipline at the failure-mode boundary, not just the success path.
  • Anti-pattern enumeration in (c) is the kind of forward-looking risk surfacing that catches drift before it lands.

Cross-claim coordination

Status: approved. When Lane 1+2 implementation worker dispatches, this spec drives the import-contract design without re-discovering the per-mechanism tradeoffs.

Manager review — verification

Findings 1–6: Confirmed against docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md on branch tip — shared requirements floor (§lines 9–14); mechanism (a) path + no ProgramSource at HEAD + splice-fallback to (b) / §P1 + dual-fixture TestClaimValue equality ratchet (§18–38); mechanism (b) single authority + deterministic generator + gen --check/drift posture (§42–62); mechanism (c) escape hatch + enumerated anti-patterns (§66–79); interim #1408/#1409 + no steady-state include_str! (§83–85); §P1 catalog in Coordination (§94–95). Discipline checklist matches docs-only scope.

Observations: Grounded substrate read + failure-mode fallback + anti-pattern list are intentional — no spec edits required for approval.

Cross-claims: #1412 semantics cited via PR link; cool-crab #1420 alignment is behavioral (no dummy source / single authority) — no conflicting text in this brief.

Commit: None — APPROVE stands.

BLOCKING (2)

Root Cause

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md TestClaim exposes program identity as two sibling fields without a carrier → define the contract around one CertifiedProgramText/program-identity binding, then project source and file_name for today’s TestClaim shape.
  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md The brief depends on out-of-tree labels instead of an in-repo invariant/design target → anchor the fallback to an existing design doc or add the referenced invariant section in the same change.

Non-blocking — Strengths

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md The brief correctly rejects hand-maintained duplicate TestClaim.source blobs and steady-state Rust include_str! lifts, matching P2 single-authority pressure.

⚠️ The preferred import shape still permits the identity drift the brief is trying to prevent.

2. **Per-program bindings** expose the **same** string the compiler uses for `compile_to_dag(source, file_name)` — today `TestClaim` carries `source: String` and `file_name: String` directly ([`src/v3/std/verification.dag`](../../src/v3/std/verification.dag)); there is **no** separate `ProgramSource { source, file_name }` nominal on substrate **at HEAD**.

3. **Concrete binding pattern (research target):**
- **Preferred structural approach:** `data r3_cert_add_then_branch_source: String = "<escaped program text>"`

This comment was marked as resolved.

plus `data r3_cert_add_then_branch_file: String = "add_then_branch_seed.v3"` (or `FilePath`-typed equivalent if already modeled), **or** a single imported binding pair validated by a trivial structural predicate — exact lowering must match compiler rules for multiline string bodies.
- Lane 1 fixture (`r3_verification_l4_emit_eval_match.dag` family) and Lane 2 fixture (`r3_verification_l5_corpus.dag` family) each **`import std.r3_certification_corpus { … }`** and construct their **`TestClaim`** rows referencing those bindings for **`source`** / **`file_name`** fields.

4. **If imports cannot splice into `TestClaim` fields** at lowering time (tooling gap), do **not** fork strings by hand — fall through to mechanism **(b)** or file **INVARIANTS §P1** for a minimal **`CertifiedProgramText`** record type reused by both lanes.

BLOCKING: The fallback points implementers to INVARIANTS §P1, but no such section exists in INVARIANTS.md, so the Director-ratified substrate-change path is not a usable live boundary contract.

  • Comparison: origin/main @ 0fd90ea2 ... review/pr-1421-93d53eec @ 93d53eec
  • Thinking: 96s wall

Findings

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:13 and :51 link ../INVARIANTS.md from docs/briefs/, which resolves to non-existent docs/INVARIANTS.md. The actual authority is ../../INVARIANTS.md. This violates the P1/P2 documentation authority posture in the brief itself: the anchor meant to ground the contract is broken.

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:3 says this builds on docs/briefs/r3-v-l5-corpus-extension-spec.md §6, but that file is not present on HEAD. Since line 11 explicitly says PR numbers are not substitutes for merged design text, this should point to an actual in-tree authority or be framed as PR-only provenance.

Verdict: REQUEST_CHANGES. The spec direction looks aligned with P2 single-authority discipline, but the new brief’s authority references need to resolve in-tree before merging.

BLOCKING (1)

Root Cause

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md R3 corpus identity authority is anchored to PR-era documents that are not in-tree -> land the referenced readiness/extension docs or cite existing in-repo authority such as INVARIANTS no-duplicate-representations and design-test-infra.

⚠️ One blocking authority-anchor gap remains before this can serve as an implementation contract.

GitHub PR numbers (**#1393**, **#1394**, **#1412**, …) are **dispatch provenance**, not a substitute for merged design text. This contract’s **in-tree** anchors:

- **[INVARIANTS.md](../INVARIANTS.md) — §P2 Boundary Discipline** — “every fact lives in exactly one authoritative place”; parallel copies are the failure mode import mechanisms must prevent.
- **[r3-v-l5-corpus-readiness-audit.md](r3-v-l5-corpus-readiness-audit.md) §4** — P2 program-text options + bridge-retirement posture for certification corpus lifts (authoritative Verification lane narrative on `main`).

  • Thinking: 76s wall

Findings: None. The diff only adds docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md. It is explicitly PROPOSAL / research-only, anchors P2 single-authority and program identity as (source_text, file_name) for compile_to_dag, matches TestClaim’s source / file_name fields in src/v3/std/verification.dag, and names interim posture with a fold/dissolution story (lines 94–96) consistent with P5 scaffold discipline. No Rust, no tests, no substrate — nothing in the diff touches CODING.md or TESTING.md enforcement targets for new code.

Verdict: APPROVE — Small, scoped design brief; aligns with Boundary Discipline and progress/dissolution language from the rubric; no concrete invariant breach tied to a specific diff line.

Exploratory (optional): Line 44’s “DB-3 / DB-20 posture” for harness assertions is easy to read as the numbered design tracks (dimension abstraction / workflow parallelism). If you want tighter grounding to the fail-closed / typed-carrier story for tests, DB-1 (typed diagnostic carriers) or C-5 (string-sentinel probing) from INVARIANTS.md may be clearer anchors than DB-3/DB-20 for that sentence alone.

Verification: Scheduled APPROVE at ad02b0ad stands — diff remains the single research brief.

Exploratory follow-up: Replaced the misleading DB-3 / DB-20 harness wording (those IDs name dimension / workflow-parallelism tracks in ROADMAP.md, not assertion style) with explicit INVARIANTS DB-1 + C-5 anchors plus TESTING.md §Don’t assert on implementation details, in commit c4d71ccbb.

  • Thinking: 52s wall

Findings: None. The diff only adds docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md. It is explicitly PROPOSAL / research, does not assert shipped substrate behavior as fact (it calls out “at HEAD” and defers CertifiedProgramText to Director / P1), and it reinforces P2 single authority and P1 “one binding, then project” rather than duplicating program text. INVARIANTS links such as #db-1 and #c-5 match the appendix IDs in the base INVARIANTS.md (e.g. line 341 for C-5, 347 for DB-1 in the context copy). CODING.md / TESTING.md are about Rust and test code; nothing in the diff is new implementation, and the future test ideas (byte-equality ratchet, typed ClaimResult) are consistent with the cited DB-1 / C-5 / TESTING guidance.

Verdict: APPROVE — Narrow docs-only change; no concrete conflict with the pinned rubric; anchors and framing look careful.

Exploratory observations (optional): The opening paragraph packs many PR cross-links; that’s useful as dispatch provenance but may age quickly—only worth tightening if the team prefers lighter brief headers. Not a rubric issue.

Verification: git diff --stat origin/main...origin/docs/r3-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec is one file — docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md (+121 lines). Matches Cursor APPROVE at b0a4e59f: proposal framing, at HEAD qualifiers, P1/P2 discipline, and INVARIANTS.md anchor fragments (#db-1, #c-5, #p1-modeling-faithfulness, #p2-boundary-discipline) align with the appendix IDs on main.

Exploratory (header PR links): Leaving the dense dispatch paragraph as-is for now — it mirrors the brief’s “PR numbers = provenance” split from §In-repo authority anchors and helps readers trace lane history without dropping context. Happy to slim it in a follow-up if Verification wants a shorter opener.

Verification: Codex block at b0a4e59f predates explicit §P1 surfacing in the opener and had INVARIANTS.md linked without #p2-boundary-discipline.

Fix (c16cdf093):

  • Opening Status now links both §P2 and §P1 with fragments (not file-root-only).
  • §In-repo authority anchors gains its own §P1 bullet (procedure boundary for substrate extensions).
  • Adds §In-tree anchor verification receipt — copy/paste git cat-file -e origin/main:$p loop over every merged Markdown authority path cited (plus verification.dag).

All listed paths verified present on current origin/main.

Single-file research brief, no substrate/code/test changes.

No concrete violations of the pinned invariants or testing/coding docs observed.

BLOCKING (1)

Root Cause

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md R3 corpus-identity contract still depends on unmerged/out-of-tree authorities and invented invariant section IDs → land those docs/anchors first or retarget the brief to existing INVARIANTS, ROADMAP, and DB-15 authority paths.

Non-blocking — Strengths

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md The source_text + file_name one-binding posture matches the live TestClaim authority in src/v3/std/verification.dag and avoids the prior independent-string footgun.

Non-blocking — Improvements (fix in-PR if easy, else defer to roadmap)

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md ClaimResult / Pass / Fail / NotYetImplemented are not live carriers in the repo; defer by naming the Lane 2 Stage 2c result substrate before implementation relies on them.

⚠️ The import-contract shape is sound, but the brief still anchors the contract to non-live repo authorities.


## In-repo authority anchors (not PR labels alone)

GitHub PR numbers (**#1393**, **#1394**, **#1412**, …) are **dispatch provenance**, not a substitute for merged design text. This contract’s **in-tree** anchors (each path exists on `main`; verify with `git cat-file -e HEAD:<path>` when authoring):

**Inline review (docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:11\) — “anchors absent”:** Verified **false** on current origin/main`.

  • All hyperlinked paths pass git cat-file -e origin/main:<path> (INVARIANTS.md, TESTING.md, docs/design-cross-target-equivalence.md, docs/design-test-infra.md, docs/r3-structure.md, docs/modeling-discipline.md, both readiness audits under docs/briefs/, src/v3/std/verification.dag).
  • §P1 / §P2 exist as ## P1: Modeling Faithfulness / ## P2: Boundary Discipline in INVARIANTS.md; #p1-modeling-faithfulness / #p2-boundary-discipline are standard GitHub heading fragments.

Typical false alarm: resolving ../INVARIANTS.md from docs/briefs/ — that targets non-existent docs/INVARIANTS.md. This brief correctly uses ../../INVARIANTS.md.

Verdict: APPROVE — The diff only adds docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md, a research brief. It aligns with INVARIANTS (P1/P2 single authority, no parallel program-text copies) and modeling-discipline (facts/authority, fail-closed test harness posture via DB-1/C-5 and TESTING.md). CODING.md does not apply here (no Rust). TESTING.md is respected: the brief points at behavior/typed outcomes and “don’t assert on implementation details,” and describes future ratchets as integration checks on program identity bytes—not substrate-layout pinning.

Anchor receipt paths were checked against origin/main; they resolve. Nothing in this diff touches executable substrate or tests—only documentation—so there are no blocking modeling-layer findings.

Findings: None.

Verification (Codex 680e5561 — “non-live / invented §P1§P2 IDs”): False.

  • Cited Markdown authorities are on main and covered by §In-tree anchor verification receipt (git cat-file -e origin/main:<path>).
  • §P1/§P2 fragments are GitHub heading slugs for existing ## P1: / ## P2: headings — not invented IDs. The brief now also links The five principles items 1–2 (compact P1/P2 statements in the same file).
  • ROADMAP.md added as program-level dispatch context (gates remain r3-structure.md).
  • DB-15 authority remains design-test-infra.md (already linked).

ClaimResult: Non-blocking note addressed — pub enum ClaimResult is live in src/v3/compiler/src/test_runner.rs; harness bullet now says match variants there (no new substrate nominal invented in this brief).

Verdict: APPROVE

Docs-only brief is narrowly scoped and aligns with the pinned P1/P2/Testing rubric: it names single authority, keeps interim bridge posture bounded with a dissolution trigger, and avoids adding substrate/schema/test changes. I found no concrete invariant violations in the diff. No builds or tests run, per instruction.

Verdict: APPROVE

The diff only adds docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md: a research brief that ties Lane 1/Lane 2 corpus import to INVARIANTS P1/P2 and docs/modeling-discipline.md themes (single authority, no parallel editable program text, optional nominal dissolution, CI ratchets). It labels interim skeleton posture and names retirement/dispatch context. CODING.md and TESTING.md do not apply as enforcement targets here (no new Rust or tests); where the brief mentions harness behavior it points at TESTING.md and DB-1/C-5 in a way that matches that discipline. Spot-checks against the tree show ClaimResult in test_runner.rs and TestClaim { source, file_name } in verification.dag match what the brief states.

No findings: nothing in the diff reads as a violation of the pinned rubric documents.

Re-checked origin/main...origin/docs/r3-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec at 201d8227: still one file, docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md (+144). No Rust, fixtures, or substrate changes in range.

Spot-checks on main (what the brief cites): TestClaim still carries source: String / file_name: String in src/v3/std/verification.dag; pub enum ClaimResult in src/v3/compiler/src/test_runner.rs still has Pass, Fail(String), NotYetImplemented(String), matching the brief’s harness posture + TESTING / DB-1 / C-5 pointers.

No fix commit — APPROVE remains valid.

BLOCKING (3)

Root Cause

  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md The brief treats link path existence as authority verification → add fragment-aware checks or replace fragment claims with headings that exist in the repo.
  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md Corpus identity is modeled as only the compile input pair while cross-lane row identity/result extraction remains implicit → add a single row-key authority and tie the ratchet to the live TestClaim representation.
  • docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md The escape hatch models approval as sufficient tracked debt → require each exception to document scope, bound, and dissolution trigger.

⚠️ The source/file atomicity issue is fixed, but the boundary contract still needs live anchor verification and enforceable row/escape-hatch shapes before it should merge.


### In-tree anchor verification receipt

Re-run whenever **`main`** moves materially. **Scope:** every repository-relative path hyperlinked from this brief (extend when adding new links).

BLOCKING: The receipt calls itself anchor verification but only checks repository paths, so missing URL fragments can still pass even though this brief depends on live boundary anchors (Documentation Describes Live State).


### CI ratchet (byte-level)

- Add a **hermetic integration assertion**: compile Lane 1 claim DAG + Lane 2 claim DAG, extract the two `TestClaimValue` structs for the **same corpus key**, `assert_eq!(l4.source, l5.source)` and `assert_eq!(l4.file_name, l5.file_name)`.

BLOCKING: The CI ratchet depends on a "same corpus key" and TestClaimValue structs, but neither is a live carrier in the repo, so the Lane 1→Lane 2 boundary contract lacks an enforceable realization shape (Explicit Boundary Contracts).

### Acceptable patterns

- **Single** programmatic owner (generator or substrate-adjacent template) with **read-only** consumption elsewhere.
- **Explicit** ledger entry tying the exception to bridge-retirement / P2 posture (no silent carve-outs).

BLOCKING: The Director-approved escape hatch requires a ledger entry but not a bounded scope and named dissolution trigger, so it can bless untracked bridge debt instead of the tracked scaffold INVARIANTS require.

BLOCKING inline (~L24 receipt) — verified & fixed

The finding is valid: git cat-file -e only proved blobs exist; renamed headings or dropped <a id="db-1"> rows would still leave dead #fragments.

Change (pushed): §receipt now has (1) path existence unchanged and (2) git show origin/main:… | rg -q checks for every in-repo #fragment this brief uses — §P1/§P2/five-principles headings on INVARIANTS.md, appendix IDs db-1 / c-5, readiness-audit §4 heading, and TESTING §“Don’t assert…”. Prose and §heading renamed to “paths + cited #fragments” so it’s not labeled full arbitrary-URL verification.

BLOCKING inline (~L85 CI ratchet / Explicit Boundary Contracts) — verified

Half of the premise was wrong against current code: TestClaimValue is a live Rust harness carrier (src/v3/compiler/src/test_runner.rs) with source / file_name / claim_name, populated via TestClaimValue::from_declaration (see r3_verification_l4_l7_l5_skeleton_test.rs).

What was underspecified: informal "corpus key" vs substrate. The merged brief now states the explicit join: matching TestClaim.name (claim_name), notes no CorpusKey nominal at HEAD, and routes a future dedicated key through §P1.

Follow-up doc-only PR (since #1421 is merged): #1443 (2563129ba).

BLOCKING inline (~L121 mechanism (c) / ledger vs dissolution) — verified & addressed

The finding is valid against the merged brief: mechanism (c) named a ledger tie-in but not bounded scope or a named dissolution trigger, which undercuts INVARIANTS §P5 (Scaffold without dissolution trigger / Dispatch-Discipline).

Fix: §Mechanism (c) now explicitly anchors §P5, requires bounded scope in the Director record, a checkable retirement trigger (not prose-only “eventually”), and states ledger alone is insufficient without scope + trigger; adds matching anti-pattern; cites as one ledger surface and extends the path receipt.

Landed on open follow-up #1443 — tip **** (includes earlier TestClaimValue / join-key clarification ****).

BLOCKING inline (~L121 mechanism (c) / ledger vs dissolution) — verified & addressed (comment correction)

Prior dashboard reply mangled link text / SHAs (shell backticks). Correct summary:

The finding is valid: mechanism (c) required a ledger tie-in but not bounded scope or a named dissolution trigger, which conflicts with INVARIANTS §P5 — Progress Is Dissolution (scaffold dissolution discipline / Dispatch-Discipline).

Fix: Mechanism (c) now anchors §P5, requires Director-record bounded scope, a checkable retirement trigger (merge milestone / closure criterion / ledger completion — not prose-only “eventually”), and states ledger without scope + trigger is insufficient; adds matching anti-pattern; cites docs/r2-closure-ledger.md and extends the path receipt.

Open follow-up PR #1443, tip commit 0a7bf69dc (includes earlier 2563129ba for TestClaimValue / join-key text).

BLOCKING codex review (@ commit 201d8227) — verified against branch tip

PR #1421 is already merged on main; the bot snapshot predates follow-up #1443. On docs/r3-lane1-lane2-import-ci-ratchet-docfix tip 824e4a86c all three root causes are addressed:

  1. Path vs fragment authority: §receipt is now paths + cited #fragments — git show origin/main:… | rg -q for §P1/§P2/P5, five principles, readiness-audit §4 heading, TESTING harness section, and appendix IDs DB-1 / C-5 (matching links in this brief). Prose updated so path existence alone is not mislabeled as full anchor verification.

  2. Row-key / ratchet shape: Shared requirements names TestClaim.name → TestClaimValue.claim_name as the authoritative cross-lane join at HEAD; §Mechanism (a) CI ratchet ties assertions to TestClaimValue::from_declaration and matching claim_name (plus §P1 if a stronger key is needed).

  3. Escape hatch: §Mechanism (c) requires bounded scope, named dissolution trigger, and ledger paired with both under INVARIANTS §P5 (prior commit on same PR).

Merge #1443 to land this on main.

Verification (calm-gull-455) — relay @ 6480f7353 vs main

Checked origin/main: commit 6480f7353 is not an ancestor of main — that receipt work never shipped from whatever branch recorded it; the merged docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md on main before today was still path-only (git cat-file -e), matching why this relay looked unresolved.

Land-on-main: Open follow-up #1443 was squash-merged as b59afddf (merge time 2026-05-01T20:24:41Z). That revision is what actually carries §“paths + cited #fragments” plus the git show origin/main:… | rg -q block (§P1/§P2/§P5, five principles, DB-1/C-5 ids, readiness-audit §4, TESTING “Don’t assert…”), together with the earlier TestClaimValue / row-key and mechanism (c) §P5 edits.

Use b59afddf / #1443 as the canonical closure for the L24 receipt thread — not 6480f7353.

1. Story of the diff

This PR adds one new research brief, docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md, defining how Lane 1 direct verification fixtures and Lane 2 corpus fixtures should share corpus program identity without creating duplicate editable TestClaim.source strings. The brief explicitly scopes itself as proposal-only with “no substrate edits, no fixtures, no new TestPredicate variants” at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:3, then sets the core contract: one editable authority, stable source/file_name pairing, CI-visible drift detection, and typed outcome assertions at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:11-14.

The mechanisms are staged from preferred to fallback: a shared .dag corpus module imported by both lanes, a generator/freshness-ratchet path from a single source file, and a Director-approved escape hatch only when the first two are blocked. The brief also names the interim sidecar/embedded-source skeleton as a bridge with a dissolution condition rather than a steady state at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:85, and it prevents fixture-layer workarounds for new substrate-shaped carriers by routing CertifiedProgramText, ProgramSource, or TestClaim widening to Director ratification at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:94.

2. Invariant categories

  1. LAYER MODEL (substrate vs implementation).

Compliant — the brief explicitly makes this a documentation/research contract, not a substrate change: docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:3 says “No substrate edits, no fixtures, no new TestPredicate variants,” and docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:94 says substrate-shaped additions require Director ratification.

  1. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md.

Finding — NON-BLOCKING: P2 Boundary Discipline / illegal-states-unrepresentable is slightly under-specified in mechanism (a). The brief’s preferred shape allows separate bindings, data r3_cert_add_then_branch_source: String = ... plus data r3_cert_add_then_branch_file: String = ..., at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:29-30. Because the brief itself says TestClaim.source and file_name must stay paired for compile identity at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:12, separate importable bindings still permit a future fixture to combine source A with file B; the cross-lane equality ratchet at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:37 would still pass if both lanes made the same mistaken pairing. I would tighten this by making the “single imported binding pair” or structural predicate mandatory for the separate-binding path, not optional.

  1. CODING.md.

N/A — no Rust implementation, helper, method surface, or error/result shape is added. The only future code guidance is generator posture, and it stays at contract level: deterministic, side-effect-free, stable ordering at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:50.

  1. TESTING.md.

Compliant — no executable change needs a test in this PR, but the implementation contract names the future test shape: a hermetic integration assertion extracting Lane 1 and Lane 2 TestClaimValue rows and comparing both source and file_name at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:37. The pairing caveat above should be tightened, but the no-silent-drift testing posture is present.

  1. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS.

N/A — this PR does not edit a locked thesis/design file or claim to change a locked decision. It references prior posture and explicitly avoids fixture-layer substrate changes by requiring Director ratification for CertifiedProgramText, ProgramSource, or TestClaim widening at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:94.

  1. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT.

Compliant — the bridge/debt shapes are bounded rather than normalized. The interim skeleton is documented, bounded to the period before ForAllTargets wiring plus the P2 steady-state mechanism, and has a named fold/dissolution requirement at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:85. The escape hatch is also bounded: only when mechanisms (a) or (b) are blocked, with Director documentation and an explicit ledger entry at docs/briefs/r3-v-lane1-lane2-corpus-identity-import-spec.md:68-73.

3. Verdict

APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS

The brief is directionally aligned with P2 single-authority and P5 bridge-dissolution discipline, and it does not introduce executable or substrate risk. I would tighten mechanism (a) so source/file_name identity is structurally paired rather than conventionally paired through separately importable string bindings, but that is a spec-precision comment rather than a blocking code defect.
