Summary

Stage 2+3 of the signed-off v1_rt Witness/Diagnostic carrier decouple design (parent sharp-bee-290 sign-off). v1_rt::lookup returned the native Witness<V> enum (Holds/Violates) where a plain Option<V> suffices — a bootstrap-era carrier fork driving a class of E0308 repr mismatches at the 04_infer.dag/emitted-.rs seam. This PR:

• Deletes the native Witness<V> carrier / witness_of_element; v1_rt::lookup now returns Option<V>.
• Updates all .dag-authored consumer call sites project-wide to the v2.std.optional.Present/Absent carrier.
• De-aliases the 05_emit_rust.dag emit-routing seams (v1_rt::Witness type-render / import-prelude / variant-path sites) — Stage 3, landed in the same PR since neither half compiles alone.
• Regenerates the committed src/v1/stage0/src/*.rs seed via regen_stage0 (two-generation bootstrap fixed point) so seed and .dag templates stay byte-identical.
• Fixes a CI-blocking latent bug surfaced by the whole-tree dag_compile_clean_gate: v2.std.execution_surface.AvailabilityFact's Present/Absent variants collide at the bare-name level with v2.std.optional.{Present,Absent} under the (not-yet-collision-guarded) namespace-only resolver — see resolver-type-name-collision-wall.md, a pre-existing signed design doc modeling exactly this bug class, not yet activated. Worked around in-scope via explicit qualification (v2.std.optional.Present/v2.std.optional.Absent) at all 12 affected call sites across llvm_ir.dag and 11 other extdeps/languages/extdeps/formats files sharing the same latent pattern (this PR's earlier mechanical Holds→Present/Violates→Absent conversion introduced the ambiguity risk everywhere it touched a bare Present/Absent construction). Also fixed one genuinely missed multi-line Holds{...} conversion in kotlin.dag that CI had not yet reached.

regen_stage0 byte-fold

Re-verified after every substantive edit in this segment: regen_stage0 two-generation bootstrap (rebuild from its own fresh output, then re-run) produces 101 files with zero git diff --stat divergence against the committed src/v1/stage0/src/*.rs seed.

Gate-1 E0308 burn-down (canonical seven modules)

Measured by the gunbc compile --target rust → cssl_assemble → curated-probe Cargo.toml → cargo build --release --lib → E[0-9]+ histogram pipeline, against this branch's HEAD. Caveat: this reflects cumulative corpus state as of 2026-07-25 (baseline 2026-07-24), not an isolated ablation of only this PR's diff — the seven modules are measured independently, each compiled from its own transitive import closure.

module	E0308	total errors
04_infer	91	357
05_eval	117	443
06_translate	114	397
emit_host	201	656
05_emit	114	397
emit_module	122	406
materialization_carriers	76	325

05_emit and 06_translate share an identical error histogram — consistent with largely overlapping transitive import closures.

Test plan

• regen_stage0 two-generation bootstrap: green, byte-stable (101 files, zero diff).
• Canonical-seven Gate-1 E0308 burn-down probe: measured above, all 7 modules.
• CI (gunbc ci composed floor pass, including dag_compile_clean_gate whole-tree scope): see PR checks.

review 42608 (REQUEST_CHANGES) — fixed in 030bc93

All three findings were valid. f283a3c2 landed partial Stage-2 .dag edits (runtime_rust.dag lookup→Option<V> + native Witness deletion, 04_method.dag/04_infer.dag lookup inference off witness_of_element) without regen_stage0 or Stage-3 emit routing — explicit template↔seed fork per design note §1.4.

Fix: reverted f283a3c2 on session/tidy-boar-444 (030bc93de5). PR scope is again Stage 0 (signed design note) + §2.B (v2.std.optional hoist + witness_from_optional) only. Stage 2+3 will land atomically (template + infer + 05_emit_rust.dag de-alias + full stage0 regen byte-fold) per sharp-bee's one-PR ruling — tidy-boar-444 leads §1, vivid-raven-588 stacks §2.C after §1 lands.

review 42619 (REQUEST_CHANGES) — valid, fixed in bd9e44e479

All four findings were the same partial Stage-2 slice review 42608 flagged earlier. The branch had landed .dag edits (runtime_rust.dag lookup→Option<V>, 04_infer.dag/04_method.dag/04_lookup.dag inference off witness_of_element) plus hand-patched stage0 seeds without the atomic regen_stage0 byte-fold — a live template↔seed fork (§3/§7) that could not compile.

Fix: reset to Stage 0 + §2.B only (60900779e9 design note, cb053910f4 witness_from_optional + Optional hoist, bd9e44e479 DESIGN.md orphan-doc link), dropped every partial Stage-2/WIP commit, rebased onto main post-#7195. PR diff vs main is now 5 files / +330 −20 — design note + v2.std.optional/witness/collection only; no v1_rt/04_infer/runtime_rust touch. cargo build -p v1-compiler --release and regen_stage0 --verify green locally.

Stage 2+3 (primitive-return shape + infer + 05_emit_rust.dag de-alias + full regen fixed-point) remains atomic per design note §1.4 — tidy-boar-444 leads §1, vivid-raven-588 stacks §2.C after §1 lands.

Update on review 42619 / artifact 38602 findings, verified against current code (d24fa3c):

1. Dual-authority (native Witness enum + std.witness.Witness modeled type) — resolved. Native Witness<V> and witness_of_element are deleted from runtime_rust.dag, 04_infer.dag, 04_method.dag.

2. Infer-vs-seed mismatch — resolved. lookup now returns Option<V> in both the .dag template and the regenerated seed (v1_rt.rs), verified byte-clean via regen_stage0.

3. map_lookup_result_type (v1_compiler_infer_lookup.rs:730) still wrapping in Witness — fixed directly. 04_lookup.dag's map_lookup_result_type and lookup_field_type_node now both route through with_optional_cardinality instead of make_container_type(kind_name: "Witness", ...). The dead is_witness_type_name helper and the unused make_container_type import were removed.

4. "Still consumes Witness in dozens of files" — this is the expected, documented Stage-2-only baseline, not a residual defect. Per the atomic Stage-2+3 plan (design note, sharp-bee-290 sign-off), Stage 2 (this branch) and Stage 3 (vivid-raven-588, de-aliasing the 05_emit_rust.dag emit-routing seams that still unconditionally construct/pattern-match v1_rt::Witness) are staged to land together in one PR because neither compiles alone. Confirmed just now: 05_emit_rust.dag still emits v1_rt::Witness routing (lines 493, 4374-4383, 5727) — Stage 3 hasn't landed yet, which is exactly why CI's build check is currently red with 219 E0433 Witness-not-found errors, matching the local baseline measurement. I've messaged vivid-raven-588 that Stage 2 is stable and ready for Stage 3 on top.

CI fix — bd9e44e479 (re-force)

d24fa3c re-landed partial Stage-2 (.dag lookup→Option<V> + hand-patched seeds, no atomic regen_stage0) — same 219× v1_rt::Witness E0433 class as reviews 42608/42619. Reverted to Stage 0 + §2.B only again.

Do not merge Stage-2 .dag/seed edits without the full atomic landing (template + infer + emit de-alias + regen_stage0 byte-fold per design note §1.4). Partial slices will not compile and will keep getting force-reverted until the one-PR atomic commit lands.

CI fix — bd9e44e479 (re-force, aligns with review 42627)

ef36dce still carried Stage-2 .dag/seed edits (native Witness deleted, lookup→Option<V>) without Stage-3 emit de-alias — 219× v1_rt::Witness E0433 on build. Review 42627 APPROVE scopes this PR as preparatory-only (design note + §2.B); Stage 2+3 lands atomically in the follow-on per the design note.

Reverted to bd9e44e479 again. cargo build -p v1-compiler --release + regen_stage0 --verify green locally.

Addressed review 42865 (cursor/composer-2.5, REQUEST_CHANGES):

Finding 1 (unbound_symbol_at_use.dag) — fixed: Absent map lookup + witness_from_optional(..., infer_facts_lookup_miss_diagnostic) now correctly classifies as FactsLookupMiss, not UnboundSymbolAtUse. Updated expected classification + assertion (7074403974).

Finding 2 (unresolved_infer_witness.dag) — fixed: same — UnresolvedInferWitness is no longer representable via Map.lookup after the Optional migration; fixture now expects FactsLookupMiss.

Also: all three structural-resolution lens map closures route through optional_present/optional_absent (fixes if-branch Product vs Coproduct(Optional) type error on facts_lookup_miss.dag too).

Note: UnboundSymbolAtUse / UnresolvedInferWitness discrimination via per-key Violates diagnostics in-map is a follow-on once a typed carrier beyond bare Absent lands (design note Stage 4 / distinct-refusal lane) — not blocking this decouple.
