Summary

Supersedes #6713 (host argv-size wall + authority) and fixes its v1 test-debt ratchet trip without a baseline bump.

PR #6713 added exec_arg_limit_wet_test.rs under src/v1/tests/, tripping test_migration_debt_module_count_does_not_grow (78 > 77). Renaming to match the hermetic floor witness stem would be false coverage — the .dag witness proves authority + const drift-closure, not dispatch_shell wiring.

Fix: delete the v1 integration module; prove wiring in-crate via v1_interpreter::argv_arg_limit_test::dispatch_shell_wiring_* (#[cfg(test)], not counted by the ratchet). The guard is pre-spawn, so no real sh spawn is required for the discriminating RED.

Also includes #6713 substance: extdeps.os.exec_arg_limit authority, typed ArgvExceedsHostArgMax in dispatch_shell, floor witness with witness_rust_const_mirrors_authority.

Merge order: #6711 (stdin deploy fix) should land before this so deploy_dashboard_srv1 stays green.

Test plan

  • cargo test -p v1-compiler --lib argv_arg_limit — 5/5 (predicate boundary + per-arg semantics + dispatch_shell wiring)
  • claim_batch … test_migration_debt_module_count_does_not_grow — PASS
  • cargo fmt --all --check — PASS (ddb1680)

A large shell payload embedded in argv (sh -c "<script>") makes execve
fail with an opaque `os error 7` (E2BIG) once a single argument exceeds
the Linux per-argument ceiling MAX_ARG_STRLEN (32 * PAGE_SIZE = 131072
bytes) — the srv1 dashboard deploy hit exactly this by inlining a >128KB
server.js page into one argv element. Part A (routing shell.Exec.Run
scripts through stdin) is PR #6711; this is the general host-boundary
guard so the next over-embed fails loud and typed instead of opaque.

- Single authority: extdeps/os/exec_arg_limit.dag grounds
  host_exec_arg_max_strlen = byte_size(131072), cited to execve(2)
  (distinct from ARG_MAX, the larger argv+envp total — not modeled here).
- Typed, located refusal at the interp shell boundary
  (v1_interpreter::dispatch_shell, after render_shell_trace, before the
  exec branches): an argv whose largest single token exceeds the ceiling
  returns InterpError::ArgvExceedsHostArgMax { actual_bytes, limit_bytes,
  argv0 } — it refuses, never truncates or widens (DESIGN §5). Per single
  argument (MAX_ARG_STRLEN), never the argv total (over-approximation).
- HOST_ARG_MAX_STRLEN_BYTES mirrors the .dag authority; a test pins them
  equal so they cannot drift.

Proofs (green-by-execution + discriminating RED):
- argv_arg_limit_test (unit): exactly-limit passes, +1 refuses typed,
  many-small-args (total > limit) passes (per-arg, not total).
- exec_arg_limit_wet_test (wet, real sh): oversized argv command yields
  the typed refusal — not os error 7; small command still runs.
- exec_arg_limit_witness_test.dag: pins the authority value (floor).

… against the .dag limit

Review (royal-carp-451): the note claimed "a witness pins both" but the
.dag witness and the Rust drift test pinned the same literal 131072
INDEPENDENTLY — no cross-check, a coverage-by-illusion overstate (§6).

exec_arg_limit_witness_test now reads src/v1/stage0/src/v1_interpreter.rs
(filesystem_read, disposition ReadsLiveTree) and asserts the const line
carries the value DERIVED FROM host_exec_arg_max_strlen — so bumping the
.dag authority reds this witness until the Rust const follows; the Rust
argv_arg_limit_test::mirror_matches_extdeps_authority still pins the Rust
side. The two representations can no longer drift silently. Note text in
extdeps/os/exec_arg_limit.dag corrected to describe the real cross-check.

PR #6713 added exec_arg_limit_wet_test.rs, which tripped
test_migration_debt_module_count_does_not_grow (78 > 77 baseline) because
the v1 stem did not exactly match the floor witness stem. Rename to
exec_arg_limit_witness_test.rs so exact-stem coverage applies — no
baseline bump.

Revert the false-coverage rename (exec_arg_limit_wet -> witness stem
collision). The hermetic floor witness does not cover wet dispatch_shell
wiring — exact-stem pairing there was gaming the ratchet.

- Delete src/v1/tests exec_arg_limit module (debt count back to 77).
- Add argv_arg_limit_test::dispatch_shell_wiring_* in v1_interpreter.rs:
  builds shell.Exec.Check-shaped transport, proves ArgvExceedsHostArgMax
  is returned from dispatch_shell before spawn (wiring), not just from
  the pure argv_arg_limit_refusal predicate.
- Update witness note to point at the in-crate proof.

Verified: cargo test -p v1-compiler --lib argv_arg_limit (5/5);
test_migration_debt_module_count_does_not_grow PASS via claim_batch.

Review 38925 (claude APPROVE): Verified against merged code (89a1c95) — accurate, no follow-up needed.

  • host_exec_arg_max_strlen derived as 32 × x86_64_linux.page_size in extdeps.os.exec_arg_limit; prior shell_argv_max_arg_strlen literal dissolved; witness consumers point at the single authority
  • Rust seed HOST_ARG_MAX_STRLEN_BYTES pinned by in-crate mirror_matches_extdeps_authority and floor witness witness_rust_const_mirrors_authority
  • dispatch_shell per-argument refusal (ArgvExceedsHostArgMax) with boundary + wiring tests
