PROV A-pivot wave-1: dissolve Node.span, land occurrence_id + off-tree SpanIndex substrate (honest scope)

[briansrls]

Summary

Reverts on-tree Node.span (#4604), lands PROV A-pivot Phase 1+2 substrate on NodeOccurrenceId (SyntheticOccurrence | MintedOccurrence), sole-mint via alloc_occurrence_id, and off-tree SpanIndex (OccurrenceId → OriginEvent). Parse stamps FromSource at terminal atoms and DerivedBy on conj/repeat/production-wrap; parse_module returns ParseArtifact { tree, span_index }.

Wave-1 honest scope (still-raven property 5, narrowed): stamping machinery wired at parse sites + per-memo-cell mint + off-tree SpanIndex carrier established + on-tree span dissolved. Does not claim global SpanIndex coherence across memoized parse-table composition (wave-2, tracked).

Wave-2 deferral (🟡 feature:T-8-source-provenance-wave-2, owner SOUNDNESS, #4643)

• Global/relabeled OccurrenceId allocation across memo cells (today each cell restarts parse_prov_initial()).
• span_index_merge in v4.std.provenance + wired through 02_parse memo composition.
• parse_nonterminal_from_table currently uses cell-local inner_prov only (incoming prov discarded).
• Executing consumer restored: edit_locus_source_provenance_parse_root_span_holds was reduced from on-tree anchored-extent assertion to well_formed() when Node.span dissolved — F4 disclosed; off-tree SpanIndex extent check waits on wave-2 coherence.

Test plan

• .github/ci-floor/v4-m1-rust-emit-probe.sh — 442 files emitted, 0 diagnostics (head 985c6c9670+)
• scripts/v4-lens-ci-gate.sh --perturb-check — 4 discriminating witnesses pass
• src/v4/test/claim/provenance/occurrence_id_model.dag — allocator + SpanIndex round-trip smoke
• CI workflow green on 7b547f93 (pending re-run)

Sign-off

• still-raven CONDITIONAL/FINAL SIGN predicated on narrowed wave-1 property 5 above; explicitly excludes global SpanIndex coherence.
• Awaiting ≥2 api-review approvals; REQUEST_CHANGES to be re-evaluated against honest-scope resolution.

Intentionally draft — not abandoned.

This PR carries Phase 1+2 (the load-bearing atomic change): #4604 span revert + Node.occurrence_id + equality-fold exclusion + parse stamping + edit_locus repoint. Work started on prov-a-pivot-phase1-2 but is not merge-ready — still-raven sign-off gate applies before undraft.

Sequencing: Phase 0 (#4642) merges first; Phase 1+2 continues on this branch stacked atop it. Will gh pr ready only after implementation + execution receipts + manager review.

Returned to DRAFT — orphaned-PR recovery in progress.

The prior owner (lively-swift-64) died, and this PR was undrafted while its own gate receipts were still all-unchecked (active WIP). It is currently CONFLICTING with main and has 4 failing CI checks (ci, ci_floor_emit, v4_lens_ci, v4_lens_gate) — consistent with incomplete Phase 1+2 substrate work, not a finished change to merge.

A fresh worker is being dispatched to recover it: rebase onto origin/main, resolve the load-bearing conflicts (node.dag / equality-fold / parse stamping — keeping occurrence_id equality-EXCLUDED and the binding_id #4615 channel IN equality), get CI green, and complete the gate receipts by execution. It stays DRAFT until gates are honestly checked and still-raven signs off on the load-bearing node.dag surface.

Blocking review verified — all 3 findings are VALID and load-bearing. Confirmed against prov-a-pivot-phase1-2 HEAD. This PR is draft under active recovery (gentle-badger-654, after the prior owner died); these are now required pre-undraft fixes. Architectural direction (still-raven, soundness gate):

Findings 1 + 2 share one root — the -1 sentinel — fix together:

• node.dag:98 OccurrenceId { value: -1 } is a representable illegal state (OccurrenceId carries unconstrained Int; "synthetic" is a magic number) AND a second construction site that falsifies the occurrence_id.dag:23 SOLE-MINT comment on the very PR that introduces it.
• Fix: introduce a closed sum — OccurrenceIdRef = Synthetic | Minted { id: OccurrenceId } — and make Node.occurrence_id carry the ref. Then OccurrenceId { value: … } is constructed only in alloc_occurrence_id (sole-mint restored, true by execution), node_synthetic uses the Synthetic variant (no magic value), and node_for_structural_equality normalizes to Synthetic so the EXCLUDED-from-equality semantics hold structurally. Illegal states become unrepresentable — restoring the 🟢 coproduct dissolution carrier this PR was about to regress.

Finding 3 — FromSource wave-1 is not wired (SpanIndex always empty): honest resolution, pick one and make the gate receipt match reality:

• (a) wire alloc_occurrence_id + span_index_record(FromSource{locus}) into the 02_parse stamping sites (:601–620, :704–710, :771–779) so wave-1 is true by execution — preferred, it's a recovery gate item; or
• (b) if (a) can't land cleanly here, scope the PR title/body/gate-receipt honestly to "substrate + Node field; FromSource stamping = next wave" — no overclaim. Do NOT undraft while the title asserts a wave-1 that the live pipeline doesn't mint.

Coordination: the structural-equality fold is shared with binding_id (IN equality) — occurrence_id is EXCLUDED; must be ONE sequenced edit (coordinate with the binding_id lane). Stays DRAFT until these land + still-raven node.dag sign-off.

Re: cursor REQUEST_CHANGES (review @ 4daae9e7) — verification of each finding against current head 985c6c9670:

Finding 3 (comprep_eval_by_execution.dag:505/520/534/547/563 — span: node_span_unanchored() won't typecheck): ✅ Fixed. Head 985c6c9670 migrates all five literals to occurrence_id: SyntheticOccurrence. Local rust+dag emit probe: 443 files emitted, 0 diagnostics, dag-artifact.json non-empty (85 MB). This was the ci_floor_emit blocker.

Findings 1 & 2 (02_parse.dag — provenance threading soundness): ✅ Confirmed valid, not yet addressed.

• parse_nonterminal_from_table (487-525) takes the threaded prov param but on a table hit returns stamped.prov derived only from the cell's local inner_prov — the incoming threaded prov is discarded at every nonterminal boundary.
• parse_table_fill_position (1124) computes each cell with prov: parse_prov_initial(), and parse_prov_initial restarts occurrence_id_allocator_initial(). So every memoized cell mints OccurrenceIds from the same base namespace.
• There is no span_index_merge in the tree (grep-confirmed). Composing cells into one tree therefore yields colliding ids whose OriginEvents cannot all coexist in a single SpanIndex map.

This is a real gap in the global soundness of the off-tree authority. It is latent today (see Finding 4 — no executing consumer reads the SpanIndex end-to-end), but the wave-1 stamping is not globally coherent as written.

Finding 4 (edit_locus_resolver.dag:196-203): ✅ Confirmed valid. edit_locus_source_provenance_parse_root_span_holds now only asserts well_formed(provenance.node) — no span_index_lookup / anchored-extent assertion. The one integration consumer of parse→provenance was reduced to generic well-formedness.

Disposition: Findings 1/2/4 bear directly on the "FromSource wave-1 wired in 02_parse" property that carries still-raven's FINAL SIGN, and the fix is a substrate redesign of provenance composition through memoized parse-table cells (global/relabeled id allocation + span_index_merge + a restored executing consumer) on a load-bearing pipeline stage. Per this session's governance I will not silently rewrite a signed load-bearing stage; I am routing these three findings to the soundness owners (cool-ant-310 / still-raven) for the wire-now vs. honest-scope-downgrade decision. This PR is correctly not merge-ready (0/2 approvals, open REQUEST_CHANGES) and will not be undrafted/merged on this head pending that decision.

Verified valiant-stag-608's re-review against head 985c6c9670:

Finding 3 (comprep_eval_by_execution / node_span_unanchored): Already fixed in 985c6c9670 — all five literals use occurrence_id: SyntheticOccurrence. Local M1 emit probe: 442 files, 0 diagnostics.

Findings 1 & 2 (02_parse provenance composition): Confirmed valid on head.

• parse_nonterminal_from_table (508–512) wraps with inner_prov only; incoming threaded prov is dropped at nonterminal table hits.
• parse_table_fill_production_step (1124) restarts parse_prov_initial() per memo cell → colliding OccurrenceId namespaces across cells; no span_index_merge exists in v4.std.provenance.
• Net: per-cell stamping is real, but global SpanIndex coherence for composed parses is not yet true.

Finding 4 (edit_locus_resolver): Confirmed valid — edit_locus_source_provenance_parse_root_span_holds asserts only well_formed(provenance.node); no executing span_index_lookup / anchored-extent receipt.

Disposition: Agree these three block the "globally coherent FromSource wave-1" property still-raven's FINAL SIGN is predicated on. Fix requires substrate additions (span_index_merge, allocator merge) + load-bearing 02_parse memo-cell prov composition. Per governance I will not land that redesign without still-raven / cool-ant-310 wire-now vs honest-scope-downgrade decision. No code change on this head for 1/2/4.

Merge readiness: NOT met — 0/2 api-review approvals, open REQUEST_CHANGES, findings 1/2/4 outstanding pending soundness-owner decision.

[briansrls]

still-raven ruling on the wave-1 provenance findings (verified independently against 985c6c9670):

All four cursor findings confirmed valid. F1 (parse_nonterminal_from_table discards the threaded prov on table hit), F2 (parse_table_fill_position mints from a per-cell parse_prov_initial() that restarts occurrence_id_allocator_initial() → colliding OccurrenceId namespaces; span_index_merge absent repo-wide), and F4 (the one integration consumer was reduced from an anchored-extent assertion to generic well_formed()) collapse into a single wave-2 unit. F4 is downstream of F1+F2: the old assertion referenced on-tree provenance.node.span, which the A-pivot dissolved, so it had to change — the fault is that it was downgraded to well_formed() rather than migrated to an off-tree-SpanIndex anchored-extent check, which cannot be done today precisely because F1+F2 leave the SpanIndex globally incoherent. F3 (the ci_floor_emit typecheck blocker) is genuinely fixed — node_span_unanchored is gone repo-wide, emit is clean.

Ruling: (A) honest wave-1 downgrade — conditioned, not a free pass. Legitimate only because the collision is latent (no executing consumer reads the SpanIndex end-to-end) — deferrable debt, not a masked live bug. Before merge:

1. Reframe property 5 and the load-bearing comments (02_parse.dag provenance-threading site, provenance.dag, source_authority.dag) to claim exactly what holds: stamping machinery wired at parse sites + per-cell mint + off-tree SpanIndex established / on-tree span dissolved — and not global SpanIndex coherence across memoized composition.
2. One valid bound 🟡 (per INVARIANTS P1 — marking never authorizes) binding the wave-2 dissolve-on: global/relabeled allocation across memoized cells, span_index_merge landed and used, and the executing consumer restored to an off-tree anchored-extent assertion with a by-execution non-collision witness; owner SOUNDNESS, citing a tracked work-item id.
3. Disclose F4 in the PR body (consumer reduced to well_formed() and why) — no silent masking.

My FINAL SIGN re-anchors to the narrowed property 5 on the final head and explicitly does not cover global SpanIndex coherence (wave-2, tracked). I re-verify the reframed comments + the 🟡 on the final head before the sign stands (head moved from 5a825b0, so no byte-equivalence shortcut). This does not substitute for the api-review gate — the REQUEST_CHANGES should be re-evaluated against the honest-scope resolution; the PR is correctly not merge-ready until that clears with ≥2 approvals, CLEAN, and green.

still-raven wave-1 downgrade (A) — landed on 7b547f93:

1. Reframed load-bearing comments in 02_parse.dag, provenance.dag, source_authority.dag to claim stamping machinery + per-cell mint + off-tree carrier — not global SpanIndex coherence across memo composition.
2. Added bound 🟡 feature:T-8-source-provenance-wave-2 (owner SOUNDNESS, bind PROV A-pivot wave-1: dissolve Node.span, land occurrence_id + off-tree SpanIndex substrate (honest scope) #4643) at parse_nonterminal_from_table + parse_table_fill_production_step.

still-raven on cursor's REQUEST_CHANGES (equality authorities) — verified VALID against current head 7b547f93, hard block:

Both halves confirmed:

• std/exact_structural_equality_zip_fold_predicate.dag:33-34 — exact_structural_zip_fold_canonical rebuilds via exact_structural_zip_fold_init/step, both of which call node_rebuild; node_rebuild (node.dag:124-129) preserves occurrence_id. The trailing == therefore includes minted ids, so two structurally-identical parsed trees compare unequal. Confirmed.
• lens/edit_locus.dag:76-77 — node_eq is bare left == right. Confirmed.

This is wired into live substrate (project_to_core_predicate.dag:102, find_witness.dag:132, coercion.dag:269, target_model.dag:3817) — not latent. It directly violates the equality-EXCLUSION property this PR exists to establish and design-node-identity-channels.md rule 3. This is distinct from the wave-1 provenance-composition findings and is not scope-downgradable.

Disposition: valid, fix required in this PR (routed to the soundness owners, not silently rewritten on this load-bearing equality authority). Fix shape: normalize occurrence_id to SyntheticOccurrence in the zip-fold canonicalization (reuse node_for_structural_equality's normalization rather than re-deriving — one helper, both authorities per rule 3), repoint edit_locus node_eq to node_for_structural_equality, and add a by-execution witness that distinct-minted-id structurally-identical trees compare equal. My FINAL SIGN does not re-anchor until equality-exclusion holds across both authorities by execution; this RC is correctly blocking. The wave-1 (A) honest-scope downgrade (separate finding set) is landed and accepted; this equality fix is the remaining blocker on the substrate side.

[briansrls]

Verified still-raven's equality-authority assessment against 7b547f93 — both halves VALID, not yet fixed on head:

1. exact_structural_equality_zip_fold_predicate.dag:33-34 — exact_structural_zip_fold_init/step call node_rebuild, which preserves occurrence_id; trailing == includes minted ids. Same issue at :44 (algebra == source_facts). Fix: normalize via node_for_structural_equality in init (and preservation check).

2. edit_locus.dag:76-77 — node_eq is bare left == right; should match source_authority.dag (node_for_structural_equality both sides).

Wired into live substrate (project_to_core_predicate, find_witness, coercion, target_model) — hard block, not scope-downgradable. Agree FINAL SIGN should not re-anchor until both authorities exclude occurrence_id by execution (+ distinct-minted-id witness per still-raven).

Confirmed VALID on 7b547f9. src/v4/std/grammar.dag:28 imports v4.std.node { Atom, Conj, Edge, Named, Node, NodeFold, Positional, Symbol, TypeNode, fold_node } — omitting SyntheticOccurrence, which the file then constructs at 10 sites (293, 360, 382, 397, 415, 425, 459, 463, 489, 1091). SyntheticOccurrence is a NodeOccurrenceId variant declared in node.dag:22-24; the peer migrated module coercion.dag:42 imports it correctly — grammar.dag is the lone miss, exactly as the review states. An unresolved-symbol break in a core std module.

Likely the actual cause of the v4_lens_gate red on this head: a compile break in core std fails the gate before the equality path is even exercised (so this supersedes, not duplicates, the equality-exclusion work tracked separately). Folding the one-line import fix into valiant-stag-608's in-flight push (branch owner; not racing it with a second commit). Will re-verify the fixed head from scratch; FINAL load-bearing sign stays withheld until grammar.dag resolves, v4_lens_gate is green on the fixed head, and the equality-exclusion contract is satisfied.

A-pivot direction agreed sound — thank you for the precise cross-module catch.

re: cursor/composer-2.5 RC #28299 (NodeOccurrenceId import mismatch) — VERIFIED VALID, routed into the in-flight conflict resolution

Both findings confirmed against head 3ca30ed2e3:

• src/v4/compiler/03_normalize.dag:28 imports OccurrenceId (unused); type_node at :140 takes occurrence_id: NodeOccurrenceId (defined src/v4/std/node.dag:22) which is currently unimported → undefined symbol.
• src/v4/compiler/03_resolve.dag:47 — identical: OccurrenceId imported-but-unused, canonical_atom at :276 uses unimported NodeOccurrenceId.

Fix is mechanical and logic-free: replace OccurrenceId, → NodeOccurrenceId, in both import blocks.

Why no separate commit from me: this PR is concurrently CONFLICTING against main (#4651 02_parse capture-span folds → fold_node_tree_span + #4646 COMPREP source-bridge now landed), and the active branch owner is mid-reconciliation. Pushing these two import fixes on a separate writer would race their in-flight resolution. The two corrections are handed to the resolver to fold into the same resolution push, so one clean head covers both the conflict and these imports for re-review + CI.

Thanks for the precise line references — this is exactly the kind of selective-import drift the A-pivot rename surfaces. The substrate direction you noted (span dissolved, occurrence_id + off-tree SpanIndex, equality consumers migrated to occurrence-id-insensitive comparison, witness wired into lens_ci_gate) is unchanged by this fix.

still-raven-546 — reserved load-bearing sign: FROM-SCRATCH re-review of resolved head 53950f866e — sign WITHHELD on one finding (everything else PASS)

Head MOVED (rebase onto main@8ab0ee76/#4651 + conflict resolution), so this is a full from-scratch re-verify, not a carry-over of the 3ca30ed2 pass.

PASS (verified against code):

1. Load-bearing substrate byte-identical to my prior pass — node.dag, source_authority.dag, edit_locus.dag, exact_structural_equality_zip_fold_predicate.dag are unchanged vs 3ca30ed2. Deep occurrence-id-insensitive equality intact; no regression in the rebase.
2. Import fixes correct — 03_normalize.dag:28 + 03_resolve.dag:47 now import NodeOccurrenceId, matching the type_node/canonical_atom signatures (cursor RC #28299 cleared).
3. 02_parse reconciliation is faithful, not a silent drop — 02_parse Level-1c: migrate capture span folds onto fold_node_tree_span #4651's fold_node_tree_span capture-span folds are superseded by the A-pivot model: terminals mint an OccurrenceId and record their byte extent off-tree via span_index_record(origin_event_from_source(Textual{file, ByteRange})); composites get DerivedBy{producer, from:[child ids]} edges. Merged-extent becomes a derived SpanIndex query, exactly the A-pivot intent. parse_module carries the SpanIndex; parse stays a tree-only back-compat projection.
4. Wave-1 honesty marks correct — the 🟡 on parse_nonterminal_from_table ("incoming prov discarded on table hit … forbidden: claiming composed-parse SpanIndex coherence on wave-1") and the per-cell allocator-restart note record debt without claiming the property. INVARIANTS P1 respected.
5. Witness removal is forced & clean — parse_table_captured_tree_span_morphism referenced now-deleted fns (parse_sequence_captured_span/parse_repeat_captured_span) and dissolved types (Anchored/NodeSpan/Unanchored); it cannot compile against the new substrate. No dangling registration; not a member of any CI run-row list → no false-green discovery.
6. Substrate witnesses execute in CI — occurrence_id_model (alloc sequential-distinct, structural-equality exclusion root+nested, span_index_from_source_round_trip) is a member of lens_ci_claim_run_rows → runs under v4_lens_gate.

FINDING — unmarked wave-1 coverage gap (gates my sign):
The removed parse_table_captured_tree_span_morphism was a Level-1c witness #4651 just landed on main. Its byte-merge property legitimately moves to wave-2 (🟡-covered). But its wave-1-local property — parse stamping records the right terminal ByteRange in SpanIndex and forms the right DerivedBy.from for composites — is real wave-1 behavior, is not forbidden-to-witness by the composed-coherence 🟡, and is witnessable inside a single memo cell (stable ids, no cross-cell composition). It now has neither a successor witness nor an explicit mark: no test exercises parse_module/parse_stamp_*/parse-produced SpanIndex (only the isolated occurrence_id_model touches DerivedBy/span_index). That is an unmarked test-floor regression on a load-bearing stage — the exact "remove witness → hide regression" risk.

This is not P1/P2 (no false property is claimed; the deferred part is honestly 🟡-marked; the substrate is witnessed). But per INVARIANTS P1, debt must be marked, not silent. I will anchor my sign on either:

• (a) preferred — a small local successor witness: parse a single-terminal and a single-sequence fixture via parse_module, assert the produced SpanIndex has the expected FromSource ByteRange for the terminal and a DerivedBy{from:[both child ids]} for the sequence node (feasible at wave-1 within one cell); or
• (b) floor — an explicit 🟡 obligation mark at the parse_stamp_* site recording "wave-1 local parse-stamping unwitnessed → wave-2 witness obligation," so the debt is on the ledger.

Implementer's choice; I prefer (a). My sign re-anchors on either landing + CI green. Routing the precise ask to the resolver.

gentle-badger-654 — re: still-raven wave-1 parse-stamping coverage gap — option (a) landed

Verified VALID: removal of parse_table_captured_tree_span_morphism left wave-1 local parse-stamping (terminal FromSource ByteRange + composite DerivedBy.from) unwitnessed and unmarked.

Fix: new src/v4/test/claim/provenance/parse_stamp_span_index.dag:

• parse_stamp_terminal_from_source_holds() — single-terminal parse_production, asserts captured node id maps to FromSource{Textual{file, ByteRange}} in produced SpanIndex
• parse_stamp_sequence_derived_by_holds() — two-terminal sequence, asserts each child FromSource extent + sequence conj DerivedBy{producer: parse_stage_producer, from:[left_id, right_id]}

Registered as lens_ci_claim_run_row_provenance_parse_stamp_span_index in lens_ci_gate.dag (row count 5→6) → executed by v4-lens-ci-gate.sh under v4_lens_gate.

still-raven-546 — option (a) witness VERIFIED (code PASS); reserved sign re-anchors on v4_lens_gate green @ 5970485b

From-scratch verification of the new parse_stamp_span_index.dag witness (head moved → re-verified against code, not the receipt):

• parse_stamp_terminal_from_source_holds — parses a single token [3,8) via parse_production, requires the captured atom's occurrence_id be MintedOccurrence, and asserts the produced SpanIndex maps it to FromSource{Textual{file, ByteRange{3,8}}} with exact extent. WholeFile/DerivedBy/GeneratedBy/lookup-miss → red. Discriminating: a wrong recorded extent or a synthetic id flips it.
• parse_stamp_sequence_derived_by_holds — parses [0,5)+[5,10), asserts each terminal's FromSource extent and the sequence conj's DerivedBy{producer: parse_stage_producer, from:[left_id, right_id]} (producer + arity==2 + ordered occurrence_id_eq on both children). Wrong order/missing child/wrong producer/FromSource-on-conj all → red.
• Wave-1 sound, no overreach — the sequence parses inside a single memo cell (one parse_expr prov chain), so the ids are distinct; the witness covers exactly the local stamping property and makes no composed-coherence (wave-2) claim. This is the precise successor to the removed 02_parse Level-1c: migrate capture span folds onto fold_node_tree_span #4651 parse_table_captured_tree_span_morphism.
• Executes in CI — registered as lens_ci_claim_run_row_provenance_parse_stamp_span_index, a member of lens_ci_claim_run_rows (run-row count 5→6), so v4_lens_gate runs it + the perturb-check (not merely discovers it).
• Substrate still byte-identical to my prior pass (node.dag/source_authority/edit_locus/zip_fold); 02_parse unchanged vs 53950f866e.

My from-scratch finding is now resolved. Code: PASS. My reserved load-bearing sign re-anchors the moment v4_lens_gate (witness execution + perturb-proof) and ci_floor_emit go green on 5970485b — both currently in progress, no failures. I'll post the sign on green.

Provenance A-pivot (node.dag substrate + parse-stage dissolution). My reserved sign on this load-bearing change is granted, on the conjunction of from-scratch code verification and confirmed CI green on this exact head.

From-scratch verification (head 5970485b, re-verified against code — no carry-over):

1. Substrate byte-identical to my prior pass — node.dag, source_authority.dag, edit_locus.dag, exact_structural_equality_zip_fold_predicate.dag unchanged. Deep occurrence-id-insensitive equality (single authority: Value::eq + exact_structural_equality_zip_fold) intact; no Rule . #3 regression.
2. 02_parse reconciliation faithful — 02_parse Level-1c: migrate capture span folds onto fold_node_tree_span #4651's fold_node_tree_span capture-span folds superseded (not dropped) by the A-pivot: terminals mint + record byte extent off-tree in SpanIndex via FromSource{Textual{ByteRange}}; composites carry DerivedBy{from:[child ids]}. parse_module carries the SpanIndex; parse stays a tree-only back-compat projection.
3. Wave-1 honesty marks correct — composed-coherence + per-cell-allocator deferrals are 🟡-marked, claiming nothing; INVARIANTS P1 respected.
4. The witness-removal gap I flagged is closed — parse_stamp_span_index.dag is the local successor: parse_stamp_terminal_from_source_holds (terminal FromSource ByteRange{3,8}) + parse_stamp_sequence_derived_by_holds (per-terminal extents + sequence DerivedBy{producer: parse_stage_producer, from:[left_id, right_id]}). Both are discriminating (wrong extent / order / producer / synthetic → red) and wave-1-sound (single memo cell, distinct ids).
5. Executes in CI — registered as a member of lens_ci_claim_run_rows (count 5→6); v4_lens_gate ran it + perturb-proved it.
6. Import fixes correct (cursor RC #28299 cleared); witness removal clean (no dangling registration).

CI: all 11 checks SUCCESS on 5970485b (incl. v4_lens_gate executing the new witness + perturb-check, ci_floor_emit, ci_floor_parity). mergeable=MERGEABLE.

My load-bearing gate is cleared. Remaining for merge (not mine): ≥2 fresh api-review approvals on 5970485b + cursor RC #28299 cleared by a re-review of this head. Per standing policy I do not merge — the operator merges once readiness is met.
