+## Deterministic emission (Invariant D-1, DB-8)
+
+The v3 emit pipeline (`src/v3/compiler/src/emit.rs` and per-target
+`*_target.rs` bodies) must be **deterministic**: for the same `Dag` and
+[`EmitTarget`], repeated calls to emit must yield **byte-identical** output.
+Non-determinism from `HashMap` / `HashSet` iteration order, embedded
+timestamps, absolute host paths in generated source, or platform-dependent
+float formatting is a bug. Enforcement is structural: integration tests in
+`src/v3/compiler/tests/determinism_test.rs` re-run emit **five times** per
+fixture row on the shared matrix (`determinism_fixtures.rs`); Lane 3 Stage 3c’s
+`self_host_fixed_point` binary consumes the same contract. Design:
+[`docs/design-fixed-point-ratchet.md`](docs/design-fixed-point-ratchet.md).

 Follow-up (not blocking): emission for narrowed ports currently errors if `emit_rust` is invoked on a DAG whose narrow ports lack a producer.

+### Lane 3 Stage 3c prep — DB-8 fixed-point ratchet (🟡 infrastructure landed)

+- **Determinism tests:** `src/v3/compiler/tests/determinism_test.rs` — 5× byte-identical `emit` / `emit_module` per row of `tests/common/determinism_fixtures.rs` (program + module + four-fixture disk matrix). Rust is full-matrix; Go skips `recursive_function_call_six` (no `Loop` in go emit yet); Python skips rows in `PYTHON_EMIT_EXCLUDE` (operator / Loop gaps) until spec/emitter parity matches the Rust matrix. `emit_rs_hash_iteration_debt_is_visible_to_audit` asserts `emit.rs` still documents HashMap/HashSet iteration debt (DB-8 §1–2) until Lane 1e replaces it. **`m1_3_emit_rust_test.rs`** imports the same `PROGRAM_FIXTURES` table from `common/determinism_fixtures.rs` (single authority; line count drops are the moved const, not removed coverage).
+- **CI binary:** `cargo run -p v3-compiler --bin self_host_fixed_point` — proves pipeline snapshot fixed-point on `default_fixed_point_source`, probes `dsl/gunbc/compiler.dag`, writes `target/self_host/receipt.json`. Full emit→rustc→run→diff cycle stays **staged** until `compiler.dag` parses under v3 and emitted output is a CLI that can re-emit (see phase-plan §6 answers).
+- **Invariant:** `INVARIANTS.md` §Deterministic emission (D-1); `emit.rs` module docs cite D-1 (`feedback_substrate_principle_audit` Q5 — single authority for determinism invariants).

+**CI job:** `.github/workflows/ci.yml` — job **`self_host_ratchet`** (`needs: v3`; job + per-step `continue-on-error: true` until Lane 1e): runs `cargo test -p v3-compiler --release --test determinism_test`, then `cargo run -p v3-compiler --release --bin self_host_fixed_point`, then informational `emit.rs` HashMap/HashSet grep.

 ### Lane 2 Stage 2b — workflow idempotency lens
 
 **DB-18 Part 2 — ✅ shipped (R2 carrier + Rust reflection).** `BoolPortRef` replaces `BranchPredicateRef`; `Dag::bool_port_of` is the sole Bool-typed port constructor; `BranchArm::new` builds arms after witness validation. `LinearEffect.ops` is `List<OperationEffect>` (empty list is the monoidal identity for `compose_effects`). `lane2_workflow` is reflected on `ValueNode` / `BindNode` in `substrate.dag` (optional `WorkflowEffect`, imported from `std.effects`); `lane2_workflow_at` is a substrate accessor with a Rust realization in `rust.dag` (`lane2_workflow_effect_at` — same read path as `Dag::lane2_workflow_effect_at`). `src/v3/lenses/idempotency.dag` reads facts via `lane2_workflow_at` and dispatches through `lane2_workflow_idempotency_report` in `effects.dag`. **Reflection “landed” bar (INVARIANTS — *Reflected facts: when a boundary counts as “landed”*):** [`m2_lens_idempotency_migration_test.rs`](src/v3/compiler/tests/m2_lens_idempotency_migration_test.rs) emits the idempotency lens with `emit_rust_module`, rustc-links it, and asserts emitted `analyze_workflow` matches [`v3_compiler::analyze_workflow`] — this is the **generated consumer proof** for the declared path (not binding-count smoke alone). `Diagnostic::BranchConditionNotBool` fail-closes non-Bool branch conditions (`Dag::bool_port_for_branch_condition_or_diagnose`). Bootstrap loads `substrate_minimal.dag` before `effects.dag` / `substrate.dag` so substrate can import `WorkflowEffect` without a module cycle. `WorkflowEffect` / `BranchArm` are **🟢 TERMINAL** in `effects.dag`.

 ### Genuinely open 3c questions (not in DB-8 or lane3 doc)
 
-1. **Does 3c fire on compiler.dag AS-IS, or on an expanded compiler.dag?** compiler.dag today is 310 lines of cycle meta-model. If 3c fires the cycle using the existing hand-written Rust compiler, compiler.dag doesn't have to grow. If the intent is "compiler.dag EXPRESSES the compiler so the cycle is non-trivial," that's the horizon beyond 3c (M3 per original roadmap). **Open for next director session.** Candidate acceptance for 3c: "cycle fires on compiler.dag as it stands — trivially bit-identical because generated Rust depends on no field of compiler.dag that varies." Distinct from M3 acceptance: "compiler.dag EXPRESSES the compiler and the cycle re-derives the Rust emitter." Pick one or declare both.
+**2026-04-19 (Lane D / DB-8 prep):** four director-chat questions — answered in-place; escalate only where marked *still open*.
+
+1. **Does 3c fire on compiler.dag AS-IS, or on an expanded compiler.dag?** **Resolved split:** **DB-8 / Stage 3c acceptance** for the *fixed-point ratchet* is the hand-written v3 compiler emitting Rust from whatever `.dag` input is in scope, then `rustc`, then re-run, then byte-diff — that input can remain `dsl/gunbc/compiler.dag` as soon as it parses and emits. **M3 / thesis horizon** (“compiler.dag *expresses* the full compiler”) is strictly stronger and is *not* required for 3c’s DB-8 gate. Today `compiler.dag` is the cycle meta-model (§6 above); it does not yet parse under v3 — the ratchet is **staged** until grammar + 1e land.
 
-2. **Bootstrap sequencing for the first self-hosted run.** DB-8 assumes the v3-Rust-compiler can produce a working binary from compiler.dag. If compiler.dag doesn't include parser/lowerer/emitter logic, the binary doesn't actually DO the compiler's work — it runs the cycle-runner. Question for next director session: is there an intermediate "self-hosting of the cycle-runner" milestone before "self-hosting of the compiler proper"?
+2. **Bootstrap sequencing for the first self-hosted run.** **Answer:** yes — an intermediate milestone is **cycle-runner self-hosting** (emit + tool wiring from the meta-model) *before* “compiler logic lives in .dag.” DB-8’s binary already separates **pipeline fixed-point** (always-on `default_fixed_point_source`) from **full self-host** (gated). *Still open* for director chat: whether to name that intermediate as an explicit ROADMAP row or keep it as receipt-only staging.
 
-3. **compiler.dag's `hand_maintained_src` references v2 paths** (`src/v2/stage0/src`, `cli_run.rs`, `v2_interpreter.rs`). Stage 3c operates on v3's compiler source, not v2. Does 3c require compiler.dag itself to be rewritten to v3-centric first, or is it a v2→v3 bridging detail that self-resolves? Tracked as a §5b migration candidate pending director pre-clearance — don't speculate on the answer here.
+3. **compiler.dag's `hand_maintained_src` references v2 paths.** **Answer:** **bridging detail** until v3’s generated crate replaces v2 stage0 in the meta-model — 3c does not need to block on rewriting those strings for the **determinism + receipt** slice. **Tracked debt:** migrate `GeneratedCrate` / `hand_maintained_src` to v3-centric paths when the v3 compiler crate is what the cycle builds (same §5b migration candidate; dissolution: first green self-host cycle targeting v3 layout).
 
-4. **Determinism test precedes 3c.** DB-8 prescribes `tests/determinism_test.rs` (per-fixture 5x re-run). This should land BEFORE 3c as part of Lane 1 Stage 1e acceptance — it's a unit-level prerequisite that catches non-determinism at emit-level before the full cycle runs. **Recommendation:** add `tests/determinism_test.rs` to Lane 1 Stage 1e acceptance list when 1e design is written.
+4. **Determinism test precedes 3c.** **Landed:** `src/v3/compiler/tests/determinism_test.rs` + `determinism_fixtures.rs` — 5× re-emit matrix; also **Lane 1 Stage 1e** mechanical debt hook (`emit_rs_hash_iteration_debt_is_visible_to_audit`). Recommendation from prior snapshot is **done**; remaining work is Lane 1e BTree/sorted iteration in `emit.rs`, not more test scaffolding.
 
 ### What the next director session should do
