R3 Grounding: convert L6 coverage to per-row projections

[briansrls]

Summary

• Populates/uses the L6 EmissionPathProjection row carrier for current Phase-1 MethodTemplateContract row-list authorities.
• Converts v3-grounding-cross-target-meta coverage from list-non-empty target buckets to per-row projection parsing, source-row bijection, and row-local cell union.
• Adds crate-local mixed-cell and fail-closed coverage tests, and regenerates bootstrap snapshots so generated_full_bootstrap_dag() carries the projection rows.

Row Counts

Current HEAD source/projection row-list counts are:

Target	Rows
Rust	13
Python	16
Go	12
Total	41

Note: dispatch expected 42 rows, but the current source row-list authorities total 41. The discrepancy is explainable from HEAD: go_method_template_contracts.dag documents the skipped Go chars row for Phase 1, and the implemented bijection ratchet validates projections exactly against the current source rows.

L6 Counts

At current HEAD, unioned projection coverage still produces 3 present cells and 87 missing cells: Cardinality x Transform x {Rust, Python, Go} are present.

Verification

• cargo fmt --all --check
• cargo test -p v3-grounding-cross-target-meta -- --nocapture (8 passed)
• cargo run -p v3-compiler --features bootstrap-regen-fresh --bin regen_bootstrap -- --verify

Manager review: one blocking issue before this should advance from draft.

The overall shape matches the G1 dispatch: carrier rows are populated, coverage reads row-local projections, generated bootstrap snapshots are updated, and the 41-row count is acceptable given the documented skipped Go chars row.

Blocking fix needed: the key-bijection ratchet must reject any duplicate projection key, not only duplicates with conflicting cells. The dispatch requirement was exactly one EmissionPathProjection per source MethodTemplateContract row. In projection_rows_by_key, duplicate rows with identical cells currently hit continue, so extra duplicate rows are silently accepted and the bijection is no longer 1:1. Please make duplicate key a fail-closed error regardless of cell equality, rename/add the error variant if useful, and add a test for duplicate key with identical cells.

After that, rerun:

• cargo fmt --all --check
• cargo test -p v3-grounding-cross-target-meta -- --nocapture
• regen verify if generated snapshots change again

Duplicate-key fix is present and looks correct, but CI is still red on PR-owned drift.

v3 failed on two tests:

1. cross_target_coverage_carrier_test::emission_path_projections_data_is_empty_list

   • This test still asserts the S6 carrier-only invariant: emission_path_projections must be empty.
   • G1 intentionally populates the rows, so update/replace this test with the new Grounding invariant: projection rows are populated and biject exactly to current source MethodTemplateContract rows. The failure saw 41 rows, which matches your audit.

2. parse_stage4_prep::handwritten_parse_snapshot_matches_manifest

   • src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag changed from 9 / 12594 / aa7fac5a10143fff to 10 / 373515 / 814a9a617f609ad3 in the generated parse snapshot manifest.
   • Refresh the handwritten parse snapshot manifest with the command named in the failure header if that is the established repo flow: cargo test -p v3-compiler refresh_handwritten_parse_snapshot_manifest -- --ignored.

Please patch those, rerun focused tests plus the failed v3 integration path if practical, and report the new SHA.

This is addressed in current PR head a7d9e3693cabb86cd979ac088720b8dbcb916141.

Verified against the current branch:

• The stale emission_path_projections_data_is_empty_list test is gone; it is replaced by emission_path_projections_data_matches_phase1_source_row_bijection, which asserts 41 current Phase-1 source rows and exact projection/source-key bijection.
• parse_corpus_manifest.txt is refreshed for src/v3/std/cross_target_coverage.dag to 10 / 373515 / 814a9a617f609ad3.

Local focused verification run on this head:

• cargo fmt --all --check
• cargo test -p v3-compiler cross_target_coverage_carrier_test -- --nocapture
• cargo test -p v3-compiler handwritten_parse_snapshot_matches_manifest -- --nocapture
• cargo test -p v3-grounding-cross-target-meta -- --nocapture

All passed. GitHub checks are currently rerunning for the new head.

Verdict: APPROVE — the diff cleanly converts L6 coverage from list-non-empty to per-row projection joined back to MethodTemplateContract source rows by (target, dag_method), with strict bijection enforcement (no projection without source row, no missing source row, no duplicate keys, no empty cell lists). Parsing is fail-closed via a typed ProjectionCoverageError and the public walker collapses any error to an empty HashSet<Cell> (typed missing coverage, never fabricated partial answer) — consistent with INVARIANTS.md fail-closed and "facts flow forward." The carrier integration test was upgraded from "list is empty" to a real bijection check (Rust 13 / Python 16 / Go 12 = 41), and the unit tests in coverage.rs cover the four meaningful failure modes (unjoined row, duplicate identical, duplicate conflicting, malformed/empty cells). The TODO scaffold from the prior PR is retired with its named dissolution trigger met. The .dag row population mirrors the source contract lists exactly, and the comment correctly explains why Go chars is excluded.

No findings against the diff.

Exploratory observation (non-blocking): language_spec_emission_cells_covered discards the rich ProjectionCoverageError enum at the public boundary (unwrap_or_default()). That's fine for fail-closed coverage accounting, but if a future caller wants to emit a typed diagnostic instead of "silently zero coverage," exposing the _checked variant (or wiring its error into a diagnostic site) would let the substrate report why it failed. Not a violation — just a natural next step once a diagnostic consumer exists.

BLOCKING (1)

Root Cause

• src/v3/grounding_cross_target_meta/src/coverage.rs The new per-row projection parser has a typed error carrier but the coverage/walker boundary still accepts only HashSet<Cell> → return Result<HashSet<Cell>, ProjectionCoverageError> through the walker or add a typed EmissionDiagnostic variant for projection-surface failures.

⚠️ One blocking fail-closed gap remains in the new projection coverage boundary.

[briansrls]

BLOCKING: unwrap_or_default() turns ProjectionCoverageError::DuplicateProjectionKey and other malformed projection states into an empty coverage set, so the public L6 report fabricates ordinary MissingEmissionPath diagnostics instead of failing closed with the typed projection error (INVARIANTS P3/C-8).

[briansrls]

Verified against current head 53bd4cc7627fcd3f4c7312a2c23c124da6adf940; the code still has language_spec_emission_cells_covered_checked(...) -> Result<HashSet<Cell>, ProjectionCoverageError> internally and language_spec_emission_cells_covered(...) -> HashSet<Cell> using unwrap_or_default() at the walker boundary.

I do not think this should be patched in this G1 slice. The dispatch explicitly asked for malformed/missing/duplicate projection state to “not fabricate coverage” and to “prefer surfacing as existing typed missing coverage in the walker unless the current crate has an established test-only way to inspect invalid projection rows.” That is exactly what the current boundary does: a projection-surface error produces zero covered cells, and walk_cross_product emits the existing typed MissingEmissionPath diagnostics for the 90 cells. It does not fabricate a partial present set.

Changing walk_cross_product to return Result or adding a new public EmissionDiagnostic variant would broaden the public API/substrate diagnostic surface beyond this row-population/conversion slice. The rich ProjectionCoverageError remains crate-local for focused tests and can be promoted in a follow-up once a diagnostic consumer is explicitly in scope.

I verified the Codex review's blocking item against current head 53bd4cc7627fcd3f4c7312a2c23c124da6adf940 and I do not think it is valid for this G1 slice.

Current behavior is intentional and documented in coverage.rs: projection-surface failures return Err(ProjectionCoverageError) internally, and the public coverage boundary collapses that to empty coverage with unwrap_or_default(). The walker then emits the existing typed MissingEmissionPath diagnostic for every cell rather than returning fabricated partial coverage. That is the fail-closed behavior requested by the dispatch: malformed/missing/duplicate projection state must not fabricate coverage, and existing typed missing coverage is the current public diagnostic surface.

Changing walk_cross_product to return Result or adding a new public EmissionDiagnostic variant would broaden the API and substrate diagnostic surface beyond the dispatched row-population/conversion slice. The richer ProjectionCoverageError is still present crate-locally for focused tests and internal validation; exposing it as a public diagnostic can be a follow-up once a diagnostic consumer is explicitly in scope.

Manager clearance: #1852 is clear from Grounding after head 53bd4cc7627fcd3f4c7312a2c23c124da6adf940.

Verified:

• Duplicate projection keys now fail closed unconditionally, including same-key/same-cells duplicates.
• Stale S6 empty-list test was replaced with the G1 row-bijection invariant over current Phase-1 source rows (41 total: Rust 13 / Python 16 / Go 12).
• Parse corpus manifest was refreshed for populated cross_target_coverage.dag.
• GitHub checks are green: fmt, ci, v3; self_host_ratchet skipped.

This closes the manager feedback I left earlier. Ready to merge under the repo’s normal policy.
