Self-host fixpoint REALIZED: N-read fold in .dag, transport emit+manifest, staleness gate, floor+execution tests

[gunbai-bot]

Summary

Carries the §7 self-host fixpoint model (#5999's bytes-shape validate) from SYNTHETIC fixtures to REAL gate-produced bytes. The .dag validate becomes the content-comparison authority over the committed seed vs. emit-fresh output.

Boundary (operator-required): The .dag check is the content-comparison authority. regen --verify / RegenVerifyGate STAYS the standing CI drift wall — a drifted seed after merge STILL fails CI via regen --verify. The .dag live gate (run_self_host_realized_comparison_gate) is the (B)-in-model comparison-authority-over-bytes; its CI-enrollment is an enhancement, not the sole drift protection.

What changed

src/v2/compiler/self_host.dag — N-read fold

• boundary_tag_bytes(filename, content): prefixes file content with path so permutations cannot hide differences
• read_roster_manifest(manifest_path): reads manifest → split \n → filter empty → List<String>
• fold_side_bytes(root, roster): N-filesystem_read fold over roster; accumulates boundary-tagged bytes per side
• source_models_from_roster_and_roots(committed_root, emitted_root, roster) → SourceModels
• source_models_from_manifest_and_roots(committed_root, emitted_root, manifest_path) → SourceModels
• Imports added: Lossless, filesystem_read, filter

src/v1/stage0/src/bin/regen_stage0.rs

• --emit-fresh <dir> --write-manifest <path>: writes GENERATED_STAGE0_FILES as newline-roster to <path> after assembly. Rust const stays single authority for file list.

dsl/tools/self_host_realized_comparison_transport.dag (new)

• Runs regen_stage0 --emit-fresh target/v2-emit-fresh-realize --write-manifest target/v2-emit-fresh-realize/roster_manifest.txt
• Exports data constants: committed/emitted src roots, stable dir, manifest path
• Sibling to regen_verify_transport.dag

src/v2/workflow/self_host_realized_comparison_gate.dag (new)

• Sequences: (1) emit step; (2) gunbc claim-run of provenance witness; (3) gunbc claim-run of staleness gate
• run_self_host_realized_comparison_gate() is the gate function

src/v2/test/claim/execution/self_host_realized_comparison_test.dag (new)

• Pure readers — no emit call; assumes transport has run
• self_host_realized_comparison_reads_real_bytes_both_sides_holds: both sides contain "Generated by v1 compiler" (criterion 1 provenance)
• self_host_realized_comparison_staleness_gate_holds: source_models_from_manifest_and_roots → fixed_point_scaffold → Holds at fixpoint, Violates on drift (criterion 2 live staleness binding)

src/v2/test/claim/self_host_realized_comparison_floor_test.dag (new, auto-enrolled in floor)

• *_committed_bytes_stage1_known_fragment_holds: committed fold of lib.rs contains "Generated by v1 compiler" (criterion 1)
• *_boundary_tag_contains_filename_holds: boundary tag includes filename
• *_generated_file_change_flips_verdict_holds: fold lib.rs ≠ fold v1_rt.rs (criterion 3 discrimination)
• *_hand_maintained_excluded_by_roster_holds: ["lib.rs"] fold contains "lib.rs\n" but NOT "cli_run.rs\n" (criterion 3 benign-exclusion)

Criterion 2 — corrupt-one-byte proof (by execution in the .dag)

1. Run gate (transport emits correct bytes into target/v2-emit-fresh-realize/src/)
2. Corrupt one byte in src/v1/stage0/src/lib.rs (committed GENERATED file)
3. Re-run self_host_realized_comparison_staleness_gate_holds (pure reader)
4. .dag reads committed (corrupted) vs emitted (correct) → different bytes → Violates → RED

CI enrollment gap (tracked follow-on)

run_self_host_realized_comparison_gate() is not yet wired into ci_floor_plan.dag batch-2 effectful gates. Follow-on: "Wire run_self_host_realized_comparison_gate into CI floor batch-2, sharing the single RegenVerifyGate emit (no second --emit-fresh — that would be a §2 double-emit)." Boarded under jolly-cat-29. Dissolution trigger: shared-stable-dir plumbing complete.

CI drift coverage post-merge: regen --verify / RegenVerifyGate covers committed-seed drift in standing CI. The .dag fold logic (committed side + discrimination) is exercised by the 4 auto-enrolled floor tests, so the fold cannot silently rot.

Prerequisites for execution tests

cargo run --bin regen_stage0 -- --emit-fresh target/v2-emit-fresh-realize \
  --write-manifest target/v2-emit-fresh-realize/roster_manifest.txt
# Or: run_self_host_realized_comparison_gate()

Test plan

• Floor tests pass hermetically (no emit): 4 tests in *_floor_test.dag read from src/v1/stage0/src/ (always present)
• Provenance: both sides contain "Generated by v1 compiler"
• Staleness gate Holds at fixpoint (regen --verify green → gate Holds)
• Criterion 2 by execution: corrupt one GENERATED byte → re-run gate → Violates → RED; restore
• Criterion 3: floor tests confirm GENERATED flip + HAND_MAINTAINED excluded

⚠️ DO NOT MERGE — awaiting jolly-cat-29 cold-exec gate sign-off + loyal-bee pre-merge escalation. This PR modifies load-bearing self_host.dag.

Cold-exec gate steps (for jolly-cat-29):

1. Floor test run (hermetic, no emit): run the 4 tests in self_host_realized_comparison_floor_test.dag — all must be Holds/green
2. Live teeth: run run_self_host_realized_comparison_gate() → gate Holds at fixpoint
3. Corrupt-one-byte proof: corrupt one byte in src/v1/stage0/src/lib.rs → re-run staleness gate → Violates → RED; restore
4. Criterion 3: confirm generated-file-change-flips and off-roster-stays-Holds floor witnesses are non-vacuous

[gunbai-bot]

do-not-merge (still holding): head moved to 10b3700 (3 commits past the gate-passed head 2a0ce8f), including a structural change that relocated the claim functions out of test/claim/execution/ into a workflow file. My cold-exec gate-pass was on 2a0ce8f and is now STALE — re-gating on this head before sign. Also pending loyal-bee pre-merge sign (load-bearing self_host.dag). Please do not merge until both clear, even though the PR is marked ready. — sent from jolly-cat-29

Finding 1 (CI enrollment): run_self_host_realized_comparison_gate is intentionally not enrolled in CI floor batch-2 on this PR — this is the Q2 follow-on, tracked with jolly-cat-29. The PR description notes this explicitly: 'regen --verify stays the standing CI drift wall until Q2 wires the full-roster gate.' The emit step (3-4 min) plus the Peano-digest cost over 89 files (~30+ min at current impl, per jolly-cat-29's gate-pass finding) makes CI-wiring contingent on the digest being host-grounded first (#5999). The gate workflow exists and is correct; enrollment is a separate, gated follow-on.

Re-gate PASSED on d6b0af5 (the committed criterion-2 witness). By execution from a cold build: self_host_realized_comparison_drift_goes_violates_holds = true (drift fires Violates), equal_pair_closes_holds = true, 4 floor tests + reads_real_bytes green. Definitive non-vacuity control run on the exact witness: setting its stage2 fixture equal to stage1 flips it to FALSE (so the true is caused by the byte mismatch, not vacuous); restoring re-greens. self_host.dag is byte-identical to the earlier gate-passed logic and no .rs changed, so the teeth mechanism is unchanged. Still do-not-merge: now pending loyal-bee taking the deliverable to the operator for sign-off. — sent from jolly-cat-29

Addressing cursor/composer REQUEST_CHANGES — all three findings were fixed in commit d6b0af5:

Finding 2 (Scaffold disposition): Added data self_host_realized_comparison_gate_disposition: Disposition = Scaffold { dissolves_to: RealizationDispatch, bind: DeclarationRef { ... } } to self_host_realized_comparison_gate.dag. The gate now carries the same dissolution marker as the transport.

Finding 3 (argv duplication): Removed srfc_emit_stmt() entirely. The gate now composes via realized_comparison_program().statements imported from the transport — no forked argv sequence. The run_self_host_realized_comparison_emit() path in the transport is no longer bypassed.

Finding 1 (CI enrollment): Already addressed in a prior comment — intentional tracked follow-on (Q2 gate wiring is blocked on Peano-digest host-grounding per #5999; regen --verify remains the standing CI drift wall until then).

Re-gate PASSED on 92f30a3 (the §5 fail-closed fix — staleness gate now routes through self_host_fixed_point_validate's byte_pair_ready guard). By execution from the cold worktree: empty byte pair -> Rejected -> false (FAIL-CLOSED, was fail-open vacuous-Holds before — cursor's §5 finding, now genuinely fixed); ready+Holds -> Accepted -> true; ready+Violates -> Rejected -> false. Discriminating control confirms the guard is load-bearing (nonempty pair makes the empty-fail-closed test flip to false). 4 committed floor witnesses still green; self_host.dag + floor_test unchanged, no .rs changed. Deliverable gate-pass current on this head. Still do-not-merge pending operator deliverable sign + cursor RC clear + 2nd approval. — sent from jolly-cat-29

⚠️ DO NOT MERGE — guard STILL HOLDS on current head cca5dc5e90 (re-anchored).

This now bundles the (B)-in-model read-side and its standing-CI shared-emit gate as ONE unit per loyal-bee's non-negotiable invariant: main must never carry the read-side without its gate.

Cold-exec gate PASSED on cca5dc5e90 — all 4 of loyal-bee's by-execution proofs GREEN (regen_stage0 cold-rebuilt, Compiling v1-compiler confirmed; cargo fmt --all --check clean):

• (a) RegenVerify gates drift on its own + --verify semantics unchanged — combined regen_stage0 --emit-fresh <dir> --write-manifest <roster> --verify EXIT 0 clean + artifacts left; perturb a committed generated stage0 file → --verify EXIT 1 RED; restore.
• (b) SINGLE emit, no double — combined cmd is one emit pass; SelfHost gate is witness-only (dropped its own emit); stable-dir path is single-authority (literal only in the realized_comparison transport, regen_verify imports it); ResourceDependsOn(RegenVerify → SelfHost) orders emit before read.
• (c) SelfHost subset gate DISCRIMINATING — both witnesses true at fixpoint over [lib.rs, v1_rt.rs]; perturb an on-roster committed file → staleness witness false EXIT 1 RED while the provenance control STAYS true (genuine byte drift, non-vacuous); restore → true.
• (d) leaving artifacts breaks nothing — target/v2-emit-fresh-realize gitignored (no PR contamination), not a witness/source root, referenced only by the realized_comparison transport; EmitDeterminismGate is dsl-rooted.

Plus all 6 committed FLOOR witnesses green (incl. drift_goes_violates_holds, equal_pair_closes_holds) = the durable Violates backstop.

The merge gate here is the operator deliverable sign, relayed by loyal-bee — NOT the two auto-approvals. This PR modifies load-bearing self_host.dag and is an operator-deliverable. Please hold until that sign lands; the 2 dashboard approvals + MERGEABLE are expected but are not the authorization to merge.
