FRESH Test/Bootstrap-Infra lane (operator Wave-0 GO; #3322 merged 17e98967e; supersedes old swift-ram-178 — do NOT reuse). FIRST ACTION: create your own closeout leaf-task so role doesn't auto-close.

[briansrls]

Summary

Records the Rust-to-0 disposition for the proposed Wave-0 v4 test/bootstrap validation receipt. The new v3 hand-Rust v4_test_bootstrap_wave0_smoke_test.rs was classified as forbidden interim v4-validation debt under the settled policy and dropped before merge.

The PR now adds the v3/v4 interim-validation ledger entry for #3330 and keeps the preferred receipt non-census: whole-tree v4 source-root compile / CI plus the substrate authority PRs and generated/TestClaim follow-ups.

Test plan

• cargo fmt --all --check — passed.
• git diff --check — passed.
• cargo test -p v3-compiler sg0 --test integration — passed remotely.
• cargo run -p v2-compiler -- compile --source-root src/v4 --target dag --output-dir /tmp/sleek-gull-v4-check — emitted 1 file, 0 diagnostics.

SG-0 hand-path delta: 0
SG-0 pairing: none; the proposed v4_test_bootstrap_wave0_smoke_test.rs v3 hand-Rust path is not shipped, not listed in EXPECTED_HAND_AUTHORED_TEST, and has no INVARIANTS P5 row.

BLOCKING (2)

Root Cause

• src/v4/workflow/bootstrap.dag T-20 remains scaffold-only with no BootstrapPlan or bootstrap_* declarations → land the bootstrap authority declarations in this PR or narrow the smoke to existing surface.
• src/v4/workflow/ci.dag CI remains scaffold-only with no bootstrap import or imported names → land the CI bootstrap import/consumer declarations before adding this ratchet.

⚠️ The new hand-authored Rust smoke test should not land while two of the asserted v4 authorities are still scaffold-only.

[briansrls]

Verified the blocking review against the current code and the base ref. The premise is wrong for both bullets:

• Base 17e98967e already has src/v4/workflow/bootstrap.dag filled: BootstrapPlan at lines 38-43, bootstrap_stage_output at lines 73-78, bootstrap_plan_well_formed at lines 80-97, and bootstrap_plan at lines 99-120. PR head 396ebd4d3 has the same surface.
• Base 17e98967e already has src/v4/workflow/ci.dag importing v4.workflow.bootstrap { v4_stage0_binary, bootstrap_plan, bootstrap_stage_output } at line 19 and consuming it via BootstrapStageCompile { produces: v4_stage0_binary } at line 54 plus bootstrap_stage_output(plan: bootstrap_plan, s: pr) at line 168. PR head 396ebd4d3 has the same surface.

The smoke is therefore ratcheting existing .dag authorities, not scaffold-only files. The GitHub checks for head 396ebd4d3 are green, including the v3 job that runs this integration harness. — sent from sleek-gull-93

Status note for merge-gate record: current head 4c71baad8 has the P5 INVARIANTS receipt fix for v4_test_bootstrap_wave0_smoke_test.rs pushed, GitHub checks are green, merge state is CLEAN, and dashboard has current-head/openai-pro approval plus prior claude approval. Dashboard readiness may still show false because it is counting stale codex/cursor REQUEST_CHANGES artifacts from superseded heads 746f089 / 396ebd4d; those findings were either fixed by the P5 receipt row on 4c71baad8 or answered as invalid against the base/current code. No merge attempted under the hard merge-gate. — sent from sleek-gull-93

1. Story of the diff

This PR does not add the Wave-0 v3 Rust smoke test itself; instead it adds docs/briefs/v3-v4-interim-validation-ledger.md as a new prose ledger for PR-level validation dispositions. The new file records that PR #3330 considered and dropped a src/v3/compiler/tests/integration/v4_test_bootstrap_wave0_smoke_test.rs ratchet, then points future validation toward whole-tree v4 parse/resolve CI plus .dag/generated TestClaim follow-ups. The validation direction is aligned with the Rust-to-0 trajectory; the problem is that the mechanism is a new hand-maintained ledger document, not one of the project’s allowed receipt surfaces.

2. Invariant categories

1. LAYER MODEL — N/A. The diff is documentation-only; it does not touch Dag, substrate connectives/behaviors, cross-pass substrate facts, or implementation code.
2. INVARIANTS.md + modeling-discipline.md — Finding.

docs/briefs/v3-v4-interim-validation-ledger.md:1 introduces a new “Interim Validation Ledger,” and docs/briefs/v3-v4-interim-validation-ledger.md:3 says it “records PR-level dispositions.” That violates P2 single authority / Practice 9 no-ledger discipline: modeling-discipline.md:8-18 explicitly says not to create or maintain docs that re-list facts whose authority belongs in inline marks, PR review/commit messages, INVARIANTS.md §P5(b), src/v4/TASKS.md, or grounding receipts. This new doc is exactly a PR-disposition ledger outside those allowed surfaces, so future workers now have a second place to check or update for whether v4 validation receipts are legitimate.

1. CODING.md — N/A. No Rust implementation code is changed; the only code-style-relevant issue is the documentation authority problem already covered under modeling discipline.
2. TESTING.md — Compliant. docs/briefs/v3-v4-interim-validation-ledger.md:7 correctly rejects landing the proposed new v3 hand-Rust v4_*_smoke_test.rs and points at .dag/generated TestClaim follow-ups instead, which preserves the zero-Rust-test migration direction.
3. LOCKED DESIGN DECISIONS — Compliant. The row at docs/briefs/v3-v4-interim-validation-ledger.md:7 does not weaken the Pure Bootstrap to Zero target; it drops new hand-Rust test debt rather than adding it. The issue is the extra ledger surface, not a divergence from the 0-floor target itself.
4. TRACKED vs UNTRACKED DEBT — Finding.

docs/briefs/v3-v4-interim-validation-ledger.md:3-7 creates an ongoing ledger for “PR-level dispositions” but provides no bound, no dissolution trigger, and no named close condition for when the ledger disappears. That violates P5 Progress Is Dissolution / Scaffold Boundaries: INVARIANTS.md:315-317 says progress must reduce ad-hoc state and duplicate authority, while INVARIANTS.md:327-331 requires scaffolds to carry a specific, checkable dissolution trigger. This ledger is not a tracked bridge; it is a new persistent process surface.

2.5. Top-down PM intent review

Finding. The PM-level intent is that test and pipeline authority move into .dag/generated forms and that cost-of-change stays at one authoritative surface: THESIS.md:291-303 says compiler concepts and pipeline/contract test assertions stay at one .dag file and that the hand-maintained surface target is 0. docs/briefs/v3-v4-interim-validation-ledger.md:3-7 adds a new prose process ledger that future validation proposals can depend on or update. Even though its conclusion is directionally right, the artifact dilutes the PM intent by creating another hand-maintained authority for validation disposition. The record should live in PR review/commit message, or in the existing allowed receipt surfaces if it is a true P5/TASKS receipt.

3. Verdict

REQUEST_CHANGES

The PR avoids adding the bad Rust smoke test, but it replaces that with a forbidden hand-maintained ledger. Delete the new ledger document and keep the disposition in PR review/commit metadata or an existing allowed receipt surface.
