PB review: clear from my side. The split between Population A and Population B is readable, the live-vs-missing coverage calls are consistent with current main, and the dispatch order follows the S-1 / G-1 / G-2 DAG without inventing any work.

Small clarity nit: in the net dispatch order, keep the Population A migration sentence explicitly tied to S-1 only, and keep B.1 / B.2 as lane-specific dispositions that can run in parallel once S-1 lands. That preserves the dependency split you already document earlier in the audit.

Verdict: APPROVE

Docs-only audit and manager registration look consistent with the pinned review rubric. I spot-checked the live-state claims around v3 substrate declarations, missing v3 test coverage, and the two remaining v2-dependent G-1 consumers; no concrete invariant, coding, or testing-discipline violations observed in the diff.

1. Story of the diff

This PR adds a docs-only audit for the T-V2-Retirement lane and registers it in the Pure Bootstrap manager index. The new audit separates two populations: four src/v2/tests property ratchets that should be ported before G-2 deletes the v2 test crate, and two existing G-1 consumers outside src/v2 whose disposition depends on cross-lane work. The load-bearing mechanism is sequencing: the document explicitly avoids making the S-1, G-1, Cargo-edge, kernel_algebra_profile, or verification.dag decisions itself, and instead records which future owner/action should dissolve each dependency path. The manager entry at docs/briefs/r2-pure-bootstrap-manager.md:133 correctly advertises this as a docs-only coverage audit rather than as an implementation step.

2. Invariant categories

1. LAYER MODEL (substrate vs implementation). Compliant — implementation-only/docs-only change: docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:105 explicitly says “No code changes,” and no Dag, substrate type, .dag declaration, or dag.rs carrier is modified.
2. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md. Compliant — P2/P5 single-authority and dissolution sequencing are handled deliberately: docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:82 requires substrate-side kernel_algebra_profile authority migration before retiring the v2 parity test, and docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:83 names the failure mode if that order is reversed.
3. CODING.md. N/A — no Rust implementation, APIs, methods, error/result carriers, or helper placement changes are introduced.
4. TESTING.md. Finding (NON-BLOCKING) — coverage audit evidence should not use a definition-shaped grep as proof of missing invocations.

docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:21 says: | v3-side test coverage | **MISSING** — grep -rn "fn derive_bound|fn master_theorem" src/v3/compiler/tests/ returns no test invocations. Substrate is live; behavior tests are not. |

That command only matches text prefixed with fn, which is definition-shaped; it can miss call sites or fixture references such as derive_bound(...), master_theorem(...), or .dag test declarations that invoke the functions without the fn prefix. Since the audit’s main testing conclusion is “MISSING → port before G-2,” the evidence should either grep the callable names directly or record a broader inspected-search command. The same “same grep” shorthand at lines 31, 41, and 51 inherits the same weakness.

1. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS. Compliant — the audit avoids unilaterally changing locked/cross-lane decisions: docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:108 says no kernel_algebra_profile migration decision is made by PB, and docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:109 says no verification.dag convergence decision is made by PB.
2. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT. Compliant — the audit introduces future work as tracked debt rather than a loose TODO: docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:57 bounds Pop A to four named tests and a v3-side property-test migration, docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:97 gives the dissolution trigger “lands BEFORE G-2,” and docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:87 bounds Pop B on named prerequisite lanes.

3. Verdict

APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS

The PR is safe as a docs-only audit and it mostly honors authority, sequencing, and tracked-debt discipline. I would tighten the grep/evidence wording for the “MISSING” test-coverage claims so the audit’s future migration dispatch is backed by a call-site-capable search rather than a definition-shaped one.

Docs-only PR adding an audit brief. No code changes.

Verdict: APPROVE — docs-only addition (one new audit brief + a one-line index entry). No substrate/code touched, no invariants implicated. Self-consistent with cited line anchors and prior briefs.

BLOCKING (1)

Root Cause

• docs/briefs/r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md Pop A audit treats unverified v3-side analogs as live coverage targets → re-check each cited function against the actual substrate file/signature/behavior and reclassify missing substrate work separately from missing test coverage.

⚠️ The docs-only shape is fine, but the audit’s central live-state claim needs correction before it can safely route S-1/G-2 work.

[briansrls]

BLOCKING: The Pop A summary violates Documentation Describes Live State: the cited src/v3/std/{induction,termination}.dag authorities are not present, and the available dsl/std/induction.dag signatures/semantics do not make all four migrations mechanical.

[briansrls]

Inline at r3-pb-tv2-population-coverage-audit.md:57 — finding does not hold against origin/main.

Re-verified on freshly-fetched origin/main HEAD:

$ git ls-tree origin/main src/v3/std/induction.dag src/v3/std/termination.dag
100644 blob 64cbcde97b...	src/v3/std/induction.dag
100644 blob ca0a2a0af5...	src/v3/std/termination.dag

All 9 cited functions exist at the exact cited line numbers in the audit (induction.dag :281, :329, :767, :802, :823, :897; termination.dag :140, :146, :162). The reviewer's claim that "the cited src/v3/std/{induction,termination}.dag authorities are not present" is false against the tree this PR targets — same false-claim pattern as the prior ExecuteCommand / BinShim / FixedPointConverges relays on PRs #1235 / #1347 / #1368 / #1415.

Re "the available dsl/std/induction.dag signatures/semantics do not make all four migrations mechanical": the audit cites src/v3/std/induction.dag, NOT dsl/std/induction.dag (those are different paths — dsl/std/ and src/v3/std/ are separate authorities). The audit's "mechanical port" claim is grounded in v2 vs v3 SIGNATURE parity per the file:line citations above; reviewer appears to have substituted a different file in their analysis.

If reviewer's checkout omits these files, please share the sha; otherwise the finding does not apply.

[briansrls]

Top-level codex BLOCKING (sha 46cb019) is the same false claim as the inline at line 57 — already addressed.

All 9 cited substrate functions verified live at the exact cited line numbers on freshly-fetched origin/main HEAD: src/v3/std/induction.dag:281,329,767,802,823,897 + src/v3/std/termination.dag:140,146,162. Files exist; fn signatures match. Verbatim git ls-tree + git show ... | grep -nE evidence in the inline reply (#1512 (comment)).

The "reclassify missing substrate work separately from missing test coverage" prescription presumes substrate is missing. It isn't — the audit's structure (substrate LIVE row + test coverage MISSING row, per Pop A entry) already separates the two concerns. No reclassification needed; the live-state claim is correct.

Same false-claim pattern as prior reviewer relays on #1235 / #1347 / #1368 / #1415 (each with verbatim file:line evidence rebutting the claim). If reviewer is reading a different tree, please share the sha.
