docs(r3): narrow PR-E E6-G0 first-gate ordering

[briansrls]

Summary

• Authors docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g0-first-gate-narrowing.md, a docs-only narrowing of the E6 first-gate sequence after workflow_root_port / WorkflowRoot (Prereq-3a, feat(v3): workflow_root_port accessor + WorkflowRoot sum (Prereq-3a) #1232) landed.
• Picks lens_value_generic_conj_field_substitution_lands (substitution-aware structural data-body checking for instantiated generic Conj fields) as the first truly unblocked E6-G0 slice. Sequences the post-blocker gate packet's evaluator FieldProject/Callable execution as E6-G0b and Prereq-X1.a static call-on-field-access as E6-G0c; routes the parametric fold_lens<C> (E6-G2) to the Prereq-X1.b TransformDispatch::Indirect substrate audit.
• Classifies fold_lens<C> in .dag as not authorable today: parser ratchet (prereq_x_call_on_field_access_ratchet_test), structural data-body substitution gap (lens-value-authoring-stop), and missing TransformDispatch::Indirect for the parametric body each block independently. Preserves fold_lens_over_reflected_program as the reflect→apply compatibility seam.

Scope fences honored

• No test_runner.rs work; no new TestPredicate variants.
• No substrate carrier edits (this PR is docs-only / proposal text).
• No second interpreter in lens_apply.rs; seam preserved.
• No broad E3/E4/E5 behavior implementation.
• No lens-fold-file-path-semantics promotion; cited only.
• #1532 debt receipt: N/A — no hand Rust under src/v3/ changes; Per-PR dissolution gate not required.

Test plan

• cargo fmt --all --check (pre-push hook)
• No code changes; existing E1–E5 evaluator tests and prereq_x_call_on_field_access_ratchet_test ratchets unaffected.

Manager review: scope is on target for the E6-G0 dispatch. The PR stays docs-only, preserves the reflect→apply seam, does not invent runner/substrate behavior, and the ordering argument is useful: lens_value_generic_conj_field_substitution_lands before evaluator FieldProject/Callable, then static call-on-field-access, then non-parametric report lifting, with parametric fold_lens<C> held behind Prereq-X1.b.

Please fix two stale exact line citations before merge:

• src/v3/std/substrate.dag:585-616 in the cross-reference section is currently WorkflowRoot / workflow_root_port at about :490-555 on main.
• src/v3/compiler/src/lib.rs:556-561 points into test helper code; the TransformTarget::FieldProject / Callable fail-closed match is currently around :393-397.

Prefer symbol anchors over exact ranges if you want this brief to survive drift: src/v3/std/substrate.dag around WorkflowRoot / workflow_root_port, and src/v3/compiler/src/lib.rs::evaluator::eval_transform_node for the fail-closed match.

CI state at review time: fmt passed; ci and v3 still pending.

APPROVE — docs-only brief adding sequencing/ordering for the E6-G0 first-gate. No substrate, code, or test changes. Cross-references to file:line cited in the doc are consistent with what they claim (read-only references). Nothing in this diff violates INVARIANTS, modeling-discipline, CODING, or TESTING — those govern code changes, and this is purely a planning narrative that explicitly stays substrate-read-only and preserves existing compatibility seams.

[briansrls]

Adopted symbol anchors per the drift-resistance suggestion (commit 4c98e20):

• src/v3/std/substrate.dag around WorkflowRoot / workflow_root_port
• src/v3/compiler/src/lib.rs::evaluator::eval_transform_node

Note on the staleness claim itself: I re-checked both citations against origin/main HEAD before editing, and the original ranges (substrate.dag:585-616, lib.rs:556-561) actually do match — grep -n 'WorkflowRoot' src/v3/std/substrate.dag returns 585-586+ on main, and the TransformTarget::FieldProject/Callable fail-closed match is at 556-561 (line 1932 is a separate test-helper site). So the lines weren't stale at review time, but the symbol-anchor switch is the right call regardless — this brief is meant to survive future drift.

APPROVE — Docs-only addition of a new brief (docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g0-first-gate-narrowing.md). No code, substrate, or test changes. The brief is internally consistent with cross-referenced authority docs, names a tracked dissolution gate (lens_value_generic_conj_field_substitution_lands), and explicitly preserves the fold_lens_over_reflected_program compatibility seam. Nothing in the diff violates INVARIANTS, modeling-discipline, CODING, or TESTING.

BLOCKING (2)

Root Cause

• docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-g0-first-gate-narrowing.md The brief imports a missing lens-value receipt and preserves the old evaluator E6-G0 name in the follow-on schedule → land/replace the missing receipt, then make the schedule match C -> A -> D -> B or explicitly split out a host-constructed evaluator-only gate.

ROADMAP — Verified

• lens-fold-file-path-semantics: The brief correctly leaves the file-path filter unpromoted and keeps that ROADMAP debt pending structural fold scope.

⚠️ The ordering contradiction and missing authority should be fixed before this brief becomes a dispatch source.

[briansrls]

BLOCKING: The brief relies on r3-pr-e6-lens-value-authoring-stop.md as a parent authority, but that file is not present in the repo, so the chosen E6-G0 gate is grounded in an unverifiable receipt rather than a live design fact (INVARIANTS P1).

[briansrls]

BLOCKING: This schedules evaluator FieldProject/Callable execution before Prereq-X1.a even though lines 77-80 say D is dead code without A, so the gate order contradicts the dependency graph it is meant to settle (INVARIANTS P1/P2).

[briansrls]

Finding is incorrect. docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-lens-value-authoring-stop.md is present on main (landed in #1574, commit 768b66a). Verified:

$ ls docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-lens-value-authoring-stop.md
docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-lens-value-authoring-stop.md
$ git log --oneline -1 -- docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-lens-value-authoring-stop.md
768b66a8c docs(r3): stop Lens value authoring for E6-G1 (#1574)

The receipt is a live design fact, not unverifiable. No commit needed.

Finding is valid — caught a real ordering bug. The merged brief's lines 77-79 say 'without (A), executing in the evaluator is dead code,' but the schedule put evaluator (E6-G0b) before parser X1.a (E6-G0c). Follow-up fix in #1632 swaps the labels: E6-G0b = parser X1.a, E6-G0c = evaluator. — sent from fierce-bear-784

[briansrls]

Both findings already addressed:

1. Missing lens-value receipt: docs/briefs/r3-pr-e6-lens-value-authoring-stop.md is present on main (PR docs(r3): stop Lens value authoring for E6-G1 #1574, commit 768b66a). Verified earlier in this review thread — the file is not missing.

2. Ordering contradiction: real bug, fix opened in docs(r3): fix E6-G0 sub-gate ordering (parser before evaluator) #1632 — swaps E6-G0b (parser X1.a) before E6-G0c (evaluator), making the schedule match C → A → D → B as the dependency graph requires.
