docs(r3): add §5.1 per-PR ratchet-direction discipline (Decision A + Director-recommended shape) by briansrls · Pull Request #3049 · gunb-ai/gunbc

briansrls · 2026-05-13T23:46:41Z

Summary

Adds §5.1 Per-PR ratchet-direction discipline to close plan per operator Decision A 2026-05-13 ("target 0 is met; work orthogonal") + Director recommended shape (msg_48439a7f) + Director PendingFact-shape discrimination (msg_0b8f9283).

Empirical baseline cited

Awk-range-verified trajectory across 10 commits since 2026-05-08 modifying sg0_census_test.rs (per feedback_awk_range_per_const_array_not_whole_file_grep discipline):

Net +8 ratchet growth (+2 NON_TEST + +6 TEST)
1 retirement commit (b8651008; -1 NON_TEST)
~+0.8 entries per commit sustained
Direction: structurally AWAY from R3 close (which requires 0/0)

feedback_ratchet_only_down drift sustained, not 5-commit anomaly.

3-class discrimination shape

(A) PendingFact-shape addition: substrate-prereq carrier building toward ResolvedFact materialization (per warm-wren-479 PR R3 Cluster M generator-manifest substrate refinement (shape-only; Gap 5 close prereq) #3040 GeneratedManifestEntry sum-variant); LEGITIMATE during pending window
(B) Cascade-substitution net-direction-down: worker substitutes 1 entry with multiple finer-grained entries (e.g., swift-bee-15 PR PB-0 cycle-2 NON_TEST retirement (msg_84abadad Track A): retire 6 paths — integration_rs_wiring_scan.rs; cementing_dispatch.rs; r3_gate_87_cementing_regen_runner_suites.rs; gunbc_ci.rs; lens_declaration_apply.rs; lens_t_las_carrier.rs — brief docs/briefs/r3-pb0-non-test-retirement-worker-cycle2.md + #3046 +13/-17 = net -4); ALLOWED with add/retire commentary
(C) Hand-Rust without retirement-substrate: requires Director-tier ratification + named structural-unblockable reason

Foreclosure clause

NOT a hard zero-add-per-PR rule (per operator Decision A "work orthogonal"). IS a hard "no silent hand-Rust additions without retirement-substrate path" rule preventing the empirical +8/10-commits drift class.

Sequencing

§5.1 applies post-docs/audit/r3-pb0-non-test-retirement-class-taxonomy-2026-05-13.md landing (Track A under PR #3045). Until taxonomy lands, the discrimination is Mgr-tier coordination per PM cross-messages (msg_de98e128 / msg_9806a1d4).

Director msg_c79a9b8d substantive note absorbed; §5.1 extended at commit 8383086 with three-tier review enforcement chain.

Director's observation: PR #3040 (warm-wolf-698 substrate refinement; warm-wren-479 worker) demonstrated worker-tier substrate-canvas authoring discipline catching 3 sequential Director-tier ratification axis-failures (semantic → constructability → invariant-conformance) pre-merge via canvas-to-merge cycle. The pre-implementation worker discipline IS the protective work that prevents drift from landing.

§5.1 extension: reviewer-grep enforcement now spans three review tiers:

Worker-tier substrate-audit (FIRST chain): 4-axis pre-commit check per feedback_grep_carrier_semantic_before_ratification extended to:
- Axis 1 — name-shape (dsl/std/ convention + no collisions)
- Axis 2 — semantic-carrier-grep (existing carrier with same SEMANTIC role; per existing memory entry)
- Axis 3 — constructability under existing inhabitants
- Axis 4 — invariant-conformance vs INVARIANTS §P1/§P2/§P5
- Cross-linked to feedback_substrate_principle_audit 6-question audit
- PR R3 Cluster M generator-manifest substrate refinement (shape-only; Gap 5 close prereq) #3040 cited as substantive evidence
PR-template-grep (SECOND chain): unchanged reviewer-grep at review-time + classification cite
Director-tier sanction (THIRD chain): unchanged escape hatch for class-C structurally-unavoidable additions

This extends the per-PR ratchet-direction discipline from review-time enforcement to author-time discipline — drift is caught at worker substrate-canvas authoring (cheapest), not just at PR review or Director ratification (more expensive). The worker-tier 4-axis check IS the discipline that demonstrably caught drift on PR #3040; making it part of §5.1's three-tier chain captures the protective pattern.

The audit doc's single-authority claim must hold against the actual merge-base, not a frozen prior commit. Codex's row count of 100 at 4b491e4 is incorrect on this worktree (verified 106 at both 4b491e4 and c055495), but the anchor-drift point is valid: per INVARIANTS P2 the authoritative §1.8 snapshot must be reproducible from the current merge-base.

…3024) * docs(r3): R3 close predicate-execution log — Phase 2 fill (45 EXECUTED / 61 N/A_NOT_PASSING) Populates docs/audit/r3-close-predicate-execution-2026-05-13.md (skeleton merged via PR #3019) per Gap 10 Phase 2 of docs/r3-actual-close-plan.md. For every §1.8 row at HEAD a2a7a88: - Status = PASSING / SATISFIED-BY-CONSTRUCTION (45 rows) → predicate execution status EXECUTED; close-time harness = workspace ratchet batch (cargo fmt / clippy --all-targets -D warnings / cargo test --workspace) with per-row ratchet cited under §1.8 row Notes; result pointer → §Workspace batch receipt. - Status = CONSUMER_LANDED / DECLARED / R3-LOAD-BEARING (decl-stage) / INTEGRATION_RECEIPT / CANVAS_RATIFIED (61 rows) → predicate execution status N/A_NOT_PASSING; per r3-close-interrogation.md §8 the predicate-execution requirement attaches only to PASSING gates. Adds row #106 show_correct_code_diagnostic_coverage (merged PR #3020 / Gap 9) so table mirrors §1.8 ledger one-for-one at HEAD (parity grep `grep -cE '^\\| [0-9]+ \\| `' yields 106 on both surfaces). Workspace batch receipt records cargo fmt --all --check exit 0 and clippy --all-targets -D warnings exit 0; cargo test --workspace --exclude gunbc-dag-tests is initiated and the §10 close-ceremony audit doc records the final 24h-of-close re-sweep with the merge-commit SHA. Overall verdict remains PENDING (61 gates not at PASSING at HEAD; close ceremony not opened). Authority: merged PR gunbc/gunbc#3013 Gap 10 close criterion; PR #3019 skeleton; PR #3020 row #106; docs/r3-close-interrogation.md §8; docs/r3-actual-close-plan.md Gap 10. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(r3): weaken predicate-execution-log claims — Phase 2 = harness-naming, not execution receipt Addresses codex/codex-default REQUEST_CHANGES on PR #3024 (/api/reviews/11316/artifacts/stdout.log, 2026-05-13T20:35:21Z): 1. Per-row status `EXECUTED` (45 rows) → `HARNESS_NAMED`. The Phase 2 PR names the close-time harness per PASSING / SATISFIED-BY-CONSTRUCTION gate so the §10 close-ceremony 24h workspace re-sweep has a mechanical command to run; it does NOT assert an execution receipt. Execution receipts (PASS/FAIL per gate, log pointers, merge-commit SHA) are produced by the §10 close-ceremony artifact `docs/audit/r3-close-YYYY-MM-DD.md`, not by this Phase 2 PR. This eliminates the conflation between "harness identification" and "execution receipt" flagged at lines 26/174/180. 2. SHA anchor: explicit "Ledger-snapshot anchor" section clarifies that `a2a7a8825` is the §1.8 ledger snapshot at this PR's base commit (`git merge-base HEAD main`), and that this PR adds only the audit doc — it does not modify §1.8 or any authority surface. The derivation is valid for any HEAD that includes `a2a7a8825` with no subsequent §1.8 edits. Resolves the "HEAD a98cbc5 vs claimed a2a7a88" single-authority/live-state mismatch (INVARIANTS P1/P2). 3. Workspace batch receipt: only `cargo fmt --all --check` and `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` are recorded as Phase 2 partial receipts (both clean against base commit `a2a7a8825`). `cargo test` is explicitly marked NOT_EXECUTED_BY_THIS_PR and anchored to §10 close-ceremony per r3-close-interrogation.md §8 + INVARIANTS.md P3 fail-closed/live-state discipline.

Plain `cargo test --workspace` skips it, so the prior harness column overstated coverage for this row. Fix: row #71 now uses HARNESS_NAMED (split) and cites: 1. Non-ignored portion that DOES fire under the default workspace sweep: r3_v3_self_host_demonstration_dag_lowers_with_substituted_bin_path (r3_v3_self_host_demonstration_dag_test.rs:38) + SG-0 census presence ratchet (sg0_census_test.rs:667). 2. Ignored strict receipt requiring explicit invocation: `cargo test -p v3-compiler --release -- --ignored \ r3_v3_self_host_demonstration_suite_passes_through_runner`. Adds a general convention to the §1.8 table preamble: any gate whose canonical receipt is #[ignore]'d at HEAD is flagged HARNESS_NAMED (split) and must cite both the default-sweep portion and the --ignored override. Auditors verify §8 coverage by grepping for `HARNESS_NAMED (split)` and confirming the §10 sweep includes every cited --ignored override.

Replacement defers to docs/r3-actual-close-plan.md's per-gap disposition: PROVEN-with-landed-PR-only for Gaps 1/2/3/9 (R4-defer + THESIS-reframe paths STRUCTURALLY FORECLOSED), close-plan disposition for other gaps.

Line 24 close criteria: removed the remaining "R4-DEFERRED-with-operator-acceptance" language that codex review 11524 flagged as a generic escape hatch. New wording states no generic deferral; gap-specific structural blockage routes through docs/r3-actual-close-plan.md §1 + explicit Director/operator ratification recorded against the close-plan, not this audit doc. Re-swept for R4-DEFER / R4 defer / R4-defer / R4_DEFER — zero remaining occurrences in this audit doc. 2. Gate #92 row: promoted to HARNESS_NAMED (split). Even though PR #2737 removed the #[ignore] that PR #2723 added (per ledger Notes), fail-closed posture (INVARIANTS P3) requires the close-time command to explicitly invoke the named receipt rather than depend on the ignore-bit remaining off. Row now cites both the default workspace sweep portion and an explicit `cargo test -p v3-compiler -- --include-ignored complexity_violation_compile_error_demonstrated` invocation that fires the receipt regardless of ignore-bit state at the close-ceremony commit. 3. Cursor non-blocking exploratory note: added a one-line pointer that `ctrl-build` is the internal session-runtime BuildBuddy wrapper per CLAUDE.md, and that the §10 close-ceremony auditor substitutes the canonical local equivalent.

The 6-row vocabulary is shared across the lens family (class-level lens + future symbolic-cost-tightness sibling lens); tier annotation makes the substrate-consumer contract explicit.

Each fixture demonstrates: - lens produces TightnessAnalysis::Loose - Loose.improvement = AsymptoticStrictDominance with specific dominator/ dominated classes for that transformation - Loose.first_transformation = the specific class-tier arm variant - TightnessViolation diagnostic emitted at fixture span Symbolic-tier-only transformations explicitly carved (no class-level fixture required; deferred to symbolic-cost-tightness sibling lens). 3. §2 out-of-scope expanded: symbolic-tier-only tightening is explicitly out of scope for THIS lens (deferred to future sibling lens).

Finding 2 (P2 + "Documentation Describes Live State"): r4-carve-out-routing.md:101 described same-algorithm tightness as applying "all six listed transformations" to derive a tight bound. Outdated language relative to design doc's now-explicit carve where 3 of the 6 are symbolic-tier-only and not consumed by this R3 lens.
