Findings

• docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:4 (NON-BLOCKING) — After renaming the algebra to MachineWidth<PointerWidth>, the same ratification sentence still says “with Platform as substrate token.” That mixes two labels for the nominal carrier unless “Platform” is explicitly defined as the axis and PointerWidth as the token (the sentence does not say that). Touches docs/modeling-discipline.md Practice 5 (single-authority metadata) / naming clarity more than a live invariant in compiler code.

Verdict

APPROVE_WITH_COMMENTS — origin/main...HEAD only changes this worker brief (no Rust/substrate/code paths). Nothing here violates fail-closed, substrate modeling in code, or test discipline because those surfaces are untouched. Consider tightening line 4 (and, if you want full consistency, the unchanged “substrate-token Platform” cross-refs and Option α/β spellings) so the brief names one substrate token consistently end-to-end.

Exploratory observations (optional)

• Several passages still say Platform where Deliverable 1 is now PointerWidth (e.g. Options α–β, “Platform type-parameter,” provenance). Only :4 was edited in the same breath as the PointerWidth rename; the rest is pre-existing drift that may merit a quick editorial pass in a follow-up if the intent is a single canonical token name.

cursor NON-BLOCKING — addressed in 49bb141

Residual Platform refs cleaned up: line 4 ratification sentence + Options α/β type-decl spellings + 'Platform type-parameter' / 'sibling-shape' / 'substrate-token Platform' phrasings. Brief now consistently names PointerWidth end-to-end (excluding outer carrier names IntPlatform/UIntPlatform per Q1 verbatim, PlatformDependentFact existing carrier, and T-Platform-Integer cluster-naming option which is bikeshed-not-token).

APPROVE — pure documentation rename within a single pre-authored worker brief: Platform → PointerWidth to avoid colliding with the existing std.types::Platform OS-identity carrier. The rename is applied consistently across header, deliverables, options α/β/γ, acceptance, STOP triggers, DFS pre-flight, and cross-references; no code/substrate is touched. Naming change is well-motivated (collision avoidance) and is the correct discipline — distinct concepts get distinct tokens. No invariant, modeling, coding, or testing concerns in this diff.

1. Story of the diff

This PR is a brief-only substrate planning update for the future IntPlatform / UIntPlatform worker. The key change is that the proposed machine-width parameter is no longer named Platform; it is renamed to PointerWidth, while the brief explicitly preserves the existing std.types::Platform = Linux | Macos | Windows OS-identity carrier as a separate concept at docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:4. The intended substrate shape becomes Compose<Int, MachineWidth<PointerWidth>> / Compose<UInt, MachineWidth<PointerWidth>>, with follow-on worker acceptance still covering the token, integer aliases, Rust isize/usize rows, ratchets, and bootstrap/parse-corpus receipts.

2. Invariant categories

1. LAYER MODEL — Compliant with one caveat surfaced below. The diff is documentation/brief text rather than landed .dag substrate or Dag mutation, but it is still directing future substrate work. The rename itself respects layer separation: docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:4 makes PointerWidth the inner substrate token and explicitly leaves the pre-existing OS Platform carrier untouched.
2. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md — Finding, BLOCKING. docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:48 leaves a dispatch path for a new substrate coproduct: type PointerWidth = Pointer | TargetSpecific(String). The only Practice 4 note in the diff is docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:65, which says classification is N/A because the IntPlatform / UIntPlatform aliases are not coproducts; it does not classify the possible PointerWidth sum type itself. Principle: coproduct dissolution / illegal states unrepresentable / API-level enforcement. If option α remains, the brief should require the worker to land a GREEN/YELLOW/RED coproduct classification for PointerWidth, and TargetSpecific(String) should be replaced or bounded by a typed target-spec authority rather than free-form string identity.
3. CODING.md — N/A. The diff does not add or modify Rust implementation code; no data/function shape, Result/error carrier, helper placement, or method-style issue is introduced here.
4. TESTING.md — N/A. The diff is a pre-authored brief rename and does not change executable compiler behavior. No test is required for this PR itself; the future worker brief still names implementation receipts such as bootstrap snapshot, parse corpus manifest, and integer-row ratchet updates.
5. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS — Compliant. The diff keeps the Q-MachineConstraint shape aligned with the locked Compose<Algebra, MachineWidth<N>> framing while changing only the chosen token name: docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:147 now says the brief extends N with substrate-token PointerWidth.
6. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT — Finding, same blocking issue as above. The α branch at docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:48 is an untracked substrate-shape branch if chosen: it names a possible new sum type but does not provide documentation, bounds, and a named dissolution/terminal-classification trigger for that coproduct. The line at docs/briefs/r3-substrate-int-platform-uint-platform-worker.md:52 narrows α to cases with “structural meaning,” but that is not a ledger entry or dissolution trigger.

3. Verdict

REQUEST_CHANGES. The rename from Platform to PointerWidth is directionally clean, but the brief still allows a future substrate worker to choose an unclassified sum-type token with a stringly TargetSpecific payload. Since this is substrate-authoring guidance, fixing the brief before dispatch is cheaper and safer than relying on the next PR to infer the missing modeling gate.
