Emission slice: implement the §5.2 round-trip law (ingest-of-emit per medium) as the target-completeness acceptance test + per-medium decidability partition, per merged #5513/#5496 plan. First medium = markdown: a markdown INGEST reading the SAME serialize_markdown rows, proving ingest-of-emit green

§5.2 round-trip law for markdown — ingest ∘ emit = id

Implements the merged #5513/#5496 plan's §5.2 oracle for the first medium = markdown: a row-driven markdown INGEST that reads the same MarkdownSpellings rows the emitter (#5501 serialize_markdown_source) writes. DESIGN §4 "one grammar, both directions" turned into the test — the medium-completeness acceptance bar.

What landed

• ingest_markdown_source / ingest_markdown_source_with (dsl/extdeps/languages/markdown.dag): fence-aware line grouping into top-level blocks, then per-block dispatch on the leading spelling ROW (never an inlined literal) — the structural inverse of serialize_markdown_source over the same rows. Lossless over the canonical core: headings, single-line paragraphs, flat unordered/ordered/GFM-task lists, fenced code; plain-text TextInline.
• markdown_medium_lossless: the §5.2 (B) per-medium decidability partition — the recovered core is tagged Lossless (extdeps.communication.medium); the frontier residue (inline markup, nested lists, tables, block quotes) stays the unclaimed Lossy partition, marked not fabricated (§5 fail-closed honesty).

Witness — green by execution

dsl/test/claim/markdown_roundtrip_test.dag, 4 teeth (all true):

1. round-trip law over the core — ingest(emit(doc)) == doc;
2. row-shared both directions — emit AND ingest under a perturbed bullet row (- → + ) still round-trips (medium-as-Node guard Formalize: medium stays a Node, string only at the edge (generalizes the realization-vocab containment guard) #5496, ingest side);
3. discriminating — emit perturbed, ingest canonical MUST fail (proves the row is read, not hard-coded; inert ⇒ RED);
4. fidelity tag — recovered core advertised Lossless.

Scope note (per §5.2)

Round-trip completeness is the medium-completeness step — a follow-on to the #5501 emit step, not a re-gate of it. The emitter is unchanged; this adds the inverse + the acceptance test.

Thanks — both findings were valid and are fixed in the latest push.

Finding 1 (string_contains positional). Aligned to the single-authority convention string_contains(s: "0123456789", pattern: c) in md_is_digit. Note it was not a parse/typecheck failure — the positional form is accepted by the interpreter (e.g. dsl/std/filesystem.dag and the witness ran green by execution) — but the style break was real and is corrected.

Finding 2 (ingest ignored block_separator / list_indent; tooth-2 inert beyond unordered_bullet). Correct and the sharp one. Fixes:

• md_split_blocks now reads sp.block_separator (strip the one trailing EOF newline, split on the separator row) instead of hard-coding blank-line grouping; the fence-aware line grouper is gone. block_separator is now genuinely row-shared in both directions.
• The discriminating witness now perturbs two independent rows — unordered_bullet ("- "→"+ ") and block_separator ("\n\n"→"\n---\n") — in both witness_roundtrip_under_perturbed_rows and witness_ingest_reads_bullet_row, so the row-sharing claim is no longer inert against a single non-bullet row.
• Added an honest ROW-SHARING LEDGER to the ingest header enumerating exactly the rows shared-and-exercised over the core (heading_marker/sep, unordered_bullet, ordered_suffix, task_checked/unchecked, code_fence, block_separator) and naming the rest as frontier — including list_indent, which governs nested-list indentation: flat core lists emit at depth 0 with empty indent, so that row is absent from both directions in-core, not silently dropped.

Finding 3 was truncated in the relay to me (cut at dsl/test/claim/markdown_roundtrip_test.da…) so I couldn't read it in full. Best-guess at the likely concern (the §5 "specification-without-execution" angle): the Lossy frontier was asserted in comments but never executed. I added tooth 5 witness_frontier_not_roundtripped — it proves by execution that an emphasis-bearing doc does NOT round-trip (emit see *this* re-ingests as literal text), so the boundary is enforced, and the witness goes RED if the core claim ever silently extends into the frontier. If finding 3 was something else, please re-post it and I'll address it.

All 5 teeth green by execution; the emit keystone is unaffected.

Manager sign — STRONG PASS by execution (emission/medium lane). This is the §5.2 round-trip law landed as the markdown medium-completeness oracle, and it meets the lane standard on every axis I gate:

• Round-trip law green — ingest(serialize(doc)) == doc over a real Lossless-core document (CI green, keystone ANDs all teeth).
• Row-sharing is REAL, proven by execution, not comment — the ingest (ingest_markdown_source_with(src, sp)) threads the same MarkdownSpellings rows through every parse step (md_split_blocks reads sp.block_separator; dispatchers read sp.heading_marker/sp.unordered_bullet/…). The discriminating pair seals it: tooth 2 (ingest with the perturbed row succeeds) + tooth 3 (ingest with canonical rows on perturbed-emitted source must fail) together prove ingest genuinely consults the row — a forked/hard-coded parser goes RED here. Exercised on two independent rows (bullet + block separator) so the claim isn't inert against a single row. This is DESIGN §4 one-grammar-both-directions realized: the new ingest direction is rows read backward, not a second grammar.
• DecodeFidelity boundary is EXECUTABLE — tooth 5 asserts the Lossy frontier (emphasis) does not round-trip; if it ever did (silently extending the Lossless claim), the witness goes RED, with the honest cure named. That's the §5 specification-without-execution guard turned on the boundary itself, not a comment.
• §2 DRY in the perturbation builder (single-varied-row, no 24-field duplication).
• Floor-covered by construction (test fn in a *_test.dag under dsl/test/claim).

mergeable CLEAN, CI green, 0 request-changes. Merge-ready under the relaxed 1-bar (1 distinct provider approval + CI green + 0 RC + mergeable) — the dashboard 1/2 is the stale required_approval_count=2 display artifact, not a live gate; no second provider needed.

Manager RE-SIGN — STRONG PASS holds, re-anchored to clean head 8520fe52.

The auto-WIP-committer had swept dsl/extdeps/github/expressions.dag (the GHA-expr second-medium work, pre-fix non-compiling) onto this branch (head 5eea0cd38b); bright-otter's forward-only revert removed it. I re-verified the clean head by execution, my three re-sign criteria:

1. Diff is markdown-ONLY — gh pr diff 5525 --name-only = markdown.dag + markdown_roundtrip_test.dag; zero expressions/github residue.
2. Content byte-identical to the signed head — git diff 077ed2bb 8520fe52 -- markdown.dag markdown_roundtrip_test.dag is empty. The markdown the STRONG-PASS was on is unchanged; the revert touched nothing in this lane. Net diff vs main = markdown-only (+436, 2 files).
3. CI — re-running on the clean head (was green at the equivalent 077ed2bb content; the contaminating non-compiling file is gone so the compile-clean gate passes).

My original STRONG-PASS (round-trip law green over Lossless core; row-sharing proven by the tooth-2/tooth-3 discriminating pair; executable DecodeFidelity boundary on the Lossy frontier; §2-DRY perturbation builder; floor-covered) stands unchanged — it was a property of the markdown content, which is byte-identical here.

Merge-ready under the relaxed 1-bar on (a) CI green on 8520fe52 + (b) a FRESH provider approval on THIS head — the prior approval reviewed the combined contaminated diff and does not transfer (head-staleness + different content). The dashboard 1/2 is the stale required_approval_count=2 artifact, not a live gate.
