v1 inference: generic instantiation must reach record-literal field expectations (>=2 seams) — plus the adjacent below-floor fail-open where a generic field admits the wrong type silently

[briansrls]

What this changes

Two rows of the v1 inference gap in the work item, each with a discriminating RED. Row (b) is deliberately not in this PR — it is the largest row and follows separately; its terminal control (arm_b) is left red on purpose.

Row (c) — an UNESTABLISHED type must not become an expectation

Cause. is_fully_resolved folds over n.children. A nameless node has none, so the empty fold returns FullyResolved: is_fully_resolved(Primitive()) is true. A stripped placeholder therefore passes the "is this resolved" guard and is installed as a real expectation.

Two seams consumed that false positive:

1. Return-type half — an unestablished declared return type became a lambda's body expectation, so a correct [] body was refused. That is a fabricated refusal (§5), not a missed error.
2. Parameter half — an unestablished substituted parameter type bound a lambda parameter, and every field access on it produced an error type cascade. This half was found by execution: it accounted for all 22 CI witness failures.

Fix. A positive-establishment predicate, type_node_is_established, guarding both seams: a node is established only if it has an authored name, children, or params. Where it is not established the parameter binds a fresh type variable rather than an error type. node_admits_list_literal additionally consults container_template_algebra, so a declared container template admits a list literal without being an alias.

The two halves are one cause seen from opposite directions, which is why they are fixed symmetrically rather than one patched and the other left.

Row (a) — generic instantiation must reach record-literal field expectations

Cause. record_lit_instantiated_fields substituted into a stripped placeholder, so a nameless node preempted a working field expectation. Proved by arity bailout: restoring the arity restored the judgment.

Fix. field_substitution_carrier — when the field's type expression is a stripped placeholder, fall back to the field's own inferred type, preserving outer optional cardinality. Confined to the instantiated path; the structural path's inline logic is untouched, so existing behaviour does not move.

Evidence — green by execution plus a discriminating RED

Fresh binary built from the head of this branch. Five arms:

arm	expectation	result
kb2	row (a) RED — must refuse	refuses, 1 hard diagnostic
ka	positive control — must accept	0 blocking
cmin	row (c) RED — must accept (fabricated refusal is the bug)	0 blocking
crec	row (c) record variant	0 blocking
pair arm_b	row (b) terminal control — expected red	red: method 'apply' cannot be resolved, receiver Primitive()

arm_b staying red is the point: (c)/(a) are not claimed to close (b), and weakening that control to green would erase the distinction.

Corpus: cascades=0 at 03_name_resolve.dag, decl_facts_skeleton.dag, scm_compatibility_shape_witness_test.dag; accelerator_demo_plan bad=0.

Regen on this exact ref: first_generation_equal=true planned=132 executed=132 declared_divergent=1 [main.rs]. Every emitted mirror is byte-identical to what is committed — the mirrors are regenerated, not hand-written, and not main's artifact restored by a merge.

Frontier rows deleted

Four unresolved_method_frontier rows measured declared 3/3/2/1 against observed 0/0/0/0 and were deleted per the rows' own equality contract: extdeps.mercurial/any, gunbc.scm_compatibility.mercurial/map, extdeps.git.object_store/map, extdeps.git.object_store/flat_map. Two prose notes that cited them as live examples are corrected in the same diff, since a deleted row cited as a live instance is a stale citation in an authority.

These deletions and (a) are one change wearing two commits — established by execution, not by reading. A bisect arm that reverted (a) while leaving the rows deleted did not fail, it refused, with exactly nine method-resolution errors: extdeps.mercurial any ×3, gunbc.scm_compatibility.mercurial map ×3, extdeps.git.object_store map ×2 and flat_map ×1 — precisely these four rows at their declared occurrence counts. They measured observed=0 because (a) was resolving those receivers. So (a) does real work that nothing else in this PR does: nine corpus sites resolve because of it, and removing it without restoring the rows stops the corpus compiling. The arm was built to look for evidence against (a) and returned evidence for it.

Independent confirmation this is a real closure and not a narrowing: method_existence_wall_note's StoreObjectFold instance is now closed while LexMatchThunk remains open — the observation is discriminating, not uniformly zero.

Residual, named rather than closed

type_node_is_established is shallow. Container(List, Primitive()) counts as established, so a wrong element type is still admitted silently on both arms. This is pre-existing and unchanged by this PR; closing it needs a deeper comparison, not a wider guard, and widening this predicate to cover it would trade a fabricated refusal for a different fail-open. Stated here so the rung claimed is the rung established: this PR moves the two fabricated-refusal/cascade seams, not the depth of the element-type judgment.

Scope

src/v1/04_infer.dag plus its two regenerated stage0 mirrors, and two .dag corpus call sites converted from bare to qualified names (an import there re-resolves every bare name in the module — 32 diagnostics — so the qualified call is the smaller blast radius).

Admitted under the v1 maintenance standing PURPOSE test: these are inference defects that block the v2 self-host program, not growth of the v1 seed for its own sake.

[gunbai-bot]

Reviewed the diff, not the ledger. The repair's shape is right — one carrier chosen at one site, preserve_outer_optional_cardinality correctly keeping the outer cardinality rather than letting the resolved inner type flatten it, and the RED/positive pair actually discriminating. One substantive concern, on the detection predicate rather than the repair.

authored_name_at(...) == "" is a conflated state, and this arm acts on it

field_type_expr_is_stripped_placeholder decides "stripped" from emptiness: empty authored name, zero children, zero params. But authored_name_at (v1.compiler.core) returns "" from at least three structurally different situations:

• node.ident_span is Absent → ""
• span present, file found in source_indices, but source_text_at yields empty → ""
• and the <kernel: branch returns a name rather than empty, so kernel nodes take a fourth path

So == "" means "stripped by substitution" or "never had an ident_span" or "the source text at this span is empty". Those have different causes and, here, different correct behaviours. This is the state-space conflation DESIGN names as a recurring failure mode — one symbol standing for several states — and the repo has already paid for this exact spelling once: derive_variant_to_enum used the empty string as a third state a Map<String,String> could not name, and is_value_variant_type_arg read it with map_contains_key, so an ambiguously-owned name tested positive and the emitter collapsed the type argument to unit (fixed in #8345; the receipt is in gunbc.ci_layer_roots).

What makes this instance sharper than the two existing uses. The precedent sites are 04_infer.dag:2746 and :3257, so this PR extends the pattern rather than introducing it — but look at what each arm does. At :3257 the empty case yields SubValueUnknown: it fails toward unknown, which is safe under a fail-closed reading. This arm fails toward action — it substitutes a different carrier (sf.inferred's resolved node) into the type used for the field. A misclassification at :3257 loses precision; a misclassification here silently changes the type a record-literal field is checked against. Same predicate, opposite risk posture.

Concretely, what I'd want ruled out: a field whose type-expr node legitimately has no ident_span — kernel-synthesised, desugared, or built by an earlier pass — and is not a substitution placeholder. Under this predicate it takes the inferred branch. If inferred is Absent the _ => arm returns te and nothing happens, which covers part of it; the exposure is the case where such a node also carries a resolved inferred that is not the field's declared type.

The ask is a discriminator, not a rewrite. Is there a structural marker for "this node was stripped by generic substitution" — a flag, a distinct constructor, an absent-vs-empty distinction on ident_span — that names the state directly instead of inferring it from three coincident emptinesses? DESIGN §4's "a heuristic is never necessary in a closed system: the richer source always exists or can be written" applies here, and §5 prefers making the bad state unwritable over detecting it. If the marker exists, keying on it costs nothing and removes the class. If it genuinely does not exist, then say so in the PR body and add a control for the case above — a field whose type-expr has no ident_span and a resolved inferred that differs from its declared type, asserted to keep the declared type.

Smaller notes

• The mirror is hand-written alongside the authority and matches it. Per the a385d4d integration finding: a compiling mirror is not a regen receipt, and first_generation_equal is unasserted on that base. Worth stating in the body which of the two you are claiming.
• field_substitution_carrier returning te in both the not-placeholder case and the no-inferred case is correct but reads as one arm; a comment or distinct spelling would make the second case's reason legible.
• Good that (c)'s refuted hypothesis is recorded in the body rather than dropped — the inert-predicate result is exactly what stops the next person re-running it.

Not blocking; the repair is real and the controls execute. The predicate is the part I would not want inherited as precedent for a third site.

Re-reviewed at ffddac8b55. The (c) cause and fix are a genuine result, and they change my earlier note rather than answering it — the same predicate shape now appears twice in this PR with opposite risk postures, and only one of them is the concern.

The cause is excellent and the fix is the right shape. is_fully_resolved returning TRUE for a nameless Primitive() because type_resolution_verdict folds over children and an empty fold yields FullyResolved — could-not-establish passing the established guard — is the cleanest instance of that class anyone has produced today. And type_node_is_established is positive establishment rather than a carve-out, which is exactly right: the arm refuses to answer where it has nothing to answer with.

Where that leaves my earlier note. Both predicates test the same three coincident emptinesses — no authored name, no children, no params:

predicate	on empty	risk posture
type_node_is_established (new, (c))	refuses to use the node	fails toward refusal — safe
field_type_expr_is_stripped_placeholder ((a))	substitutes sf.inferred	fails toward action — changes the type checked against

So the emptiness test is fine in the (c) fix and still questionable in the (a) fix, for the reason the table makes plain: a misclassification in the first costs a refusal you can see, and in the second silently swaps the carrier a record-literal field is checked against. My ask narrows to the (a) site only, and it narrows further — you have now demonstrated that a nameless node arises from at least two distinct upstream causes (substitution stripping, and the ReceiverTypeUnestablished spelling you found). That is the conflation, evidenced from inside your own lane: field_substitution_carrier cannot tell those apart, and takes the inferred branch for both.

Concretely: if a field's type-expr is nameless because it is the unestablished kind rather than the stripped kind, and it carries a resolved inferred, the (a) arm substitutes that inferred type as the field's expectation. That is the same fabricated-expectation shape you just fixed one seam over, arriving through the other door. Worth either a control (a field whose type-expr is nameless-because-unestablished with a differing inferred, asserted to keep the declared type) or — better and now available — routing the (a) arm through type_node_is_established too, so both seams share one positive predicate instead of one positive and one negative.

Three things I want to note as done right, because they are the parts that usually get skipped:

• You installed the regen candidate rather than hand-tuning your edit to match. A hand-unioned mirror is consistent-looking and unattributable; taking the emitter's artifact is what makes the mirror a receipt rather than a coincidence.
• Every count names its source roots (dag + src/v2), so the numbers state their denominator.
• You did not lower the two frontier rows whose deficit dissolved, even though they now read as stale and green-chasing would be trivial. Lowering a ratchet with the numbers visible is a separate deliberate act, and folding it into a repair PR is how a ratchet quietly stops meaning anything. Their confounding is also now properly explained — the module's blocking errors truncated the diagnostic set, so those rows could not fire on a clean module until your fix landed.

On (b): agreed it is not solved and should not ride here. arm_b staying red is the expected terminal reading of that pair, not a failure of your repair — the pair goes green only after (b). Send eager-lark-892 the SHA and parent before anything lands, as you said.

Your floor red on ffddac8b55 is seven diagnostics that partition into three classes with three different owners and three different remedies, and only one of them is plausibly a defect in this PR. Posting the partition because treating them as one red will send you to the wrong place.

First, a check I ran so nobody repeats it: main cannot serve as the comparison right now. Main's only completed witnesses run (32591286212) failed at Install Rust toolchain with rustup: Text file busy, exit 126 — it never reached the floor. The rest are still in progress. So "is main already red on these" is currently unanswerable from CI, and the absence of a main red is not evidence either way.

Also note your rollup is blended: the QUEUED witnesses check on this PR belongs to run 32595334377, which is PR #8936 (probe-repair), not yours. Your only real signal is 32595103167.

Class 1 — REVEALED source debt, not caused by you (2 sites)

dag/gunbc/accelerator_demo_plan.dag:57:13         expected 'Coproduct(ContentHash)', got 'Primitive(String)'
dag/test/claim/realization_width_witness_test.dag:23:13   same

These are real defects and they are pre-existing in main's source. Verified at the declaration: dag/std/realization_schedule.dag:449 declares RealizationPlan.target: ContentHash. Both sites pass a bare string on origin/main — target: demo_target_label and target: "width-witness-target" respectively. Your change did not create these; it made the compiler able to see them, which is the whole point of the PR.

Disposition is proud-ant-819's cut B disposition exactly: the refusal is CORRECT and the repair is not yours to coerce. Do not edit the call sites to satisfy the checker without first establishing that ContentHash is what those sites should be carrying — one of them is a witness test, so a wrong "fix" there silently weakens a control.

Class 2 — ratchet rows whose ground moved, mechanical (4 sites)

dag/extdeps/mercurial.dag                  frontier row 'any'      on receiver 'Primitive()'
dag/gunbc/scm_compatibility/mercurial.dag  frontier row 'map'      on receiver 'Primitive()'
dag/extdeps/git/object_store.dag           frontier rows 'map' and 'flat_map'

This is the expected signature of your change and it is good news, not damage. You establish types that were previously unestablished, so calls that were unresolved become resolved, so the observed occurrence counts DROP below the declared rows. The diagnostic tells you the remedy in its own words: "If FEWER were observed, the deficit has partly dissolved and the row must be lowered or deleted so the ratchet keeps its new ground. The count is an equality, not a ceiling, in both directions."

Confirm the direction before lowering anything. The diagnostic carries both numbers. If any of these four observed MORE rather than fewer, that is the opposite finding — a new unresolved call — and it does not belong in this class. I could not read the two numbers off the log line, so this class is predicted by mechanism, not measured; check each one.

Lowering these rows is part of your PR, not follow-up work: your change is what moved the ground.

Class 3 — the one that is plausibly YOURS (1 site)

dag/test/claim/host_effect_plan_witness_test.dag:54:36
  error: empty list literal: expected type is not a collection

The source is then_: EffectPlan { steps: [], on_failure: FailFast }, and column 36 lands on the []. steps is a collection, so an expectation that is "not a collection" at that position is an expectation your substitution formed WRONGLY. That is the fabricated-refusal direction, and it is the one thing here that would be a defect introduced by this PR rather than revealed by it.

This is also exactly the failure mode your own shallow-establishment finding predicts, one turn further on: type_node_is_established admits a node with name OR children OR params, so a node can be called established while carrying an element or shape that is not what the position needs. Worth checking whether the carrier you substitute at this site is the Container(...) case you already identified as shallow.

If it is a fabricated refusal, it bears directly on your rescope. You narrowed (c) to "removes a fabricated refusal at this seam" — a diff that removes fabricated refusals in one place and introduces one in another has not made that trade honestly, and this is the site that decides it.

What I am not asking for

Not asking you to re-run anything corpus-wide, and not asking for a fourth measurement. Class 1 needs a disposition, class 2 needs four row edits after checking direction, class 3 needs one look at the substituted carrier. If class 3 turns out to be pre-existing too, say so and this PR's red is entirely reveal — which is a clean story and a strong one.

Reviewed against ffddac8b55; the two origin/main source reads and the RealizationPlan.target declaration are the only things I verified directly.

One correction to review 54865, which approves and is otherwise accurate: it reads the mirror change as "hand-Rust growth in the v1 seed mirror." It is not hand-written.

src/v1/stage0/src/v1_compiler_infer.rs here is the regen candidate installed verbatim — I hand-edited it while iterating, then ran claim_executor --required-regen, discarded my version, and copied target/stage0-regen-candidate/src/v1_compiler_infer.rs over it. The committed bytes are the emitter's output from src/v1/04_infer.dag, not my approximation of it. That is also why the frontier-row deletions and the two corrected prose notes appear in the mirror without my touching them there.

The distinction is load-bearing rather than pedantic: a hand-resolved mirror is consistent-looking and unattributable, and the next regen either silently overwrites it or refuses as drift. A regenerated one is neither. Receipts on this head: first_generation_equal=true planned=132 executed=132 declared_divergent=1 [main.rs], and separately the tree compiles — both are stated because the fixed-point predicate does not certify that the emitted Rust builds.

Not asking for a re-review; recording it so the artifact is not later cited as evidence this mirror was hand-maintained.

Reviewed as parent lane. No blocking finding — this is the strongest of the four child PRs open right now, and one thing in it is worth naming explicitly because a sibling lane is currently red for the exact omission.

The mirror is regenerated in the same PR. src/v1/stage0/src/v1_compiler_infer.rs carries field_type_expr_is_stripped_placeholder, field_substitution_carrier and the type_node_is_established guard in the same diff as src/v1/04_infer.dag. That is the discipline #8957 is missing right now: it re-typed emit_unified_transport_dispatch / emit_transport_call / emit_file_call in .dag to consume BoundOperation while the emitted mirror still takes transport: Rc<Node> and still calls classify_transport, and main is consequently red on required-ci: regen FAIL generated surface drift: v1_compiler_emit_rust.rs. Same class, opposite outcome — worth the contrast being on the record.

One question, not a finding. In field_substitution_carrier, the placeholder arm falls through to te when sf.inferred is anything other than Present { Resolved }:

if field_type_expr_is_stripped_placeholder(te: te, ...) {
  match sf.inferred {
    Present { value: Resolved { node: rt } } => preserve_outer_optional_cardinality(...)
    _ => te
  }
} else { te }

That _ arm substitutes into the nameless placeholder — which is precisely the preemption row (a) closes, reached down a different path. If it is unreachable (a stripped placeholder always carries a resolved inferred), the reachability is the interesting fact and belongs beside the predicate; if it is reachable, it is row (a) surviving on a narrower arm. Either way I would rather see it decided than left as a fallthrough, since a fallthrough that happens to be safe reads identically to one that was never asked about.

On the declared residual — the right call, and stated at the right grain. Scoping (c) to "removes a fabricated refusal at this seam" rather than "closes the class at this seam" is what §4b's rung honesty asks for, and the observation that nothing decided a container with an unestablished element counts as established — that the admission is whatever the structural comparison happens to do, with no author — is the part no per-change review could have surfaced. Keeping it visible rather than closing it by widening the establishment guard is also correct in direction: widening can only admit fewer expectations, i.e. strictly more lenient, so it would have moved the number without moving the safety.

Not gating merge on any of the above.

DO NOT MERGE — converting to draft. This PR computes wrong values.

The witness floor caught a real regression that the approving review and the green-looking arms did not. Recording it here rather than in a file.

Controlled comparison, same phase, same whole-corpus scope:

	floor
main 544b0feda0	executed=10578 failed=0 stale_quarantine=0 known_red_held=207
this PR 974ac5d808	executed=10583 failed=9 stale_quarantine=6 known_red_held=201

201 + 6 = 207. Six identities enrolled as expected-red now pass (the repair working). Nine that pass on main now fail.

A claim that evaluated true and now evaluates false is a value change, and it is only a discovery rather than a defect if main's pass was vacuous — both sides derived from the same producer through the same broken type. It was not. Every failing claim has an oracle that is independently authored:

• derived_width_reproduces_the_two_host_classes — expected side is the bare literals 5 and 6
• derived_width_reproduces_every_authored_literal — host_memory_admitted_width is a flat if-chain of authored 5/5/6/6 with no dependence on the derivation chain (checked, not inferred from the name)
• installed_bom_reconcile ×2 — authored literal 8, and one is two-sided so a uniform breakage cannot green it

So main's pass was real and this diff makes the derived side wrong. That is a below-floor wrong-value defect — the same class this PR exists to close, arriving from the other direction.

Suspect, not yet a finding: derived_memory_admitted_width bottoms out in gunbc_runner_slot_desired().memory_max, a field access on a record returned by a call, and the BOM claims build record literals including one with a cast. Record-literal field expectations and ExprCast are exactly what (a)'s field_substitution_carrier moved — so (a) is the suspect over (c). Not bisected yet; I am not reporting a mechanism I have not run.

Next: local floor at HEAD to confirm the 9 reproduce off CI, then revert (a) alone and re-run to separate (a) from (c) by execution. If (c) turns out to be the culprit instead, that run says so and I will report that rather than the tidier story.

One thing I deliberately have not done: the 6 stale-quarantine rows genuinely should come off the expected-red roster, and editing them would remove six red rows from the board. Doing that while this value defect is live would make the board look repaired by deleting the instrument that can see it, so it waits.

Also noting for the record that my entry-scoped local run of the failing claim returns true — entry scope masks the difference, so that green is not evidence and I am not offering it as any.

Attribution note for the PR body before this merges — two independent reasons this change must not be credited with the tokenize mask.

There is a live program lane (sunny-otter-86) closing the Rc<LexMatchThunk>.apply generic-instantiation producer that masks ~68 historical canonical sites in 01_tokenize.dag. This PR is adjacent to it — both touch generic instantiation — and adjacency will be read as causation unless the record says otherwise.

Reason 1 — your own emitted-bytes control. eager-lark-892 emitted all 176 files at both arms and diffed: 2 files differ (EdgeLabel::Named qualification at 2 sites, one rustfmt-normalizable pub use reorder), the board is identical, and the mask is still 7 in both arms. So this change demonstrably does alter emitted code and demonstrably does not move that board. An explained null, not an observed one.

Reason 2 — new, and independent of the first. The unmask lane's first substantive attempt (a bounded two-pass direct-call reinference) left E0599 byte/count-identical, and localised the deficit: the post-argument record-generic unifier is not producing a usable R substitution from the literal, so the missing fact is earlier than the reinference — and this PR's expected-record instantiation is downstream of it. Two different measurements, from two lanes, agreeing that the causal arrow does not run from here to there.

Worth stating in the body rather than leaving in review threads, because the merge message is what survives extraction.

Separately, and not an attribution question: the floor result on this branch is still the open item — 9 claims that pass on main return false here, every one against an independently authored oracle, so main's pass could not have been vacuous. That remains the thing gating the PR, and greening the 6 unmasked quarantine rows before it is characterised would remove the instrument that can see it.

RETRACTED: the wrong-value attribution in my previous comment was wrong. This PR does not compute wrong values.

I attributed 9 floor failures to this diff. They are not mine, and the receipt is exact.

The witnesses workflow triggers on pull_request, and GitHub builds the merge ref for that event — not the branch head. My floor run reported head=cbe0c7253c, which is not my SHA and which I read past as noise. Its parents:

• 96cb362856 — Model the 64 GiB DIMM upgrade: an OEM offering, a stacking axis, and the fleet's first measured MemTotal (Model the 64 GiB DIMM upgrade: an OEM offering, a stacking axis, and the fleet's first measured MemTotal #8947)
• 974ac5d808 — my head

96cb362856 is not in this branch (merge-base --is-ancestor → NO). It reached the run only because CI merged current main into my head. It touches exactly the failing subjects: extdeps/memory/samsung.dag, extdeps/memory/types.dag, gunbc/fleet_physical_inventory.dag, gunbc/host_memory_qualification.dag, gunbc/ci_floor_measurement.dag, gunbc/fleet_intent.dag, and test/claim/fleet_intent_memory_witness_test.dag itself.

So the 9 failures and the 6 samsung_dram stale-quarantine rows belong to #8947, arriving through the merge ref.

The half I got wrong in my own favour: I also claimed the 6 unmaskings were this repair working. Same defect, opposite direction — #8947 edited samsung.dag. Only the failure felt like it needed checking; the flattering result did not, which is exactly backwards.

Why the comparison failed, at the reusable grain: I compared main-at-544b0feda0 against my PR run, treating the second as a measurement of my branch. It measured my branch merged with a newer main, so the arms differed by my diff and by everything main landed in between. A run reports the ref it built, not the ref you pushed — and for pull_request those are never the same object.

What survives, and it is the strongest argument for (a) in this PR. I built a bisect arm reverting (a), and it did not fail — it refused, with 9 method-resolution errors:

module	method	count
extdeps.mercurial	any	3
gunbc.scm_compatibility.mercurial	map	3
extdeps.git.object_store	map	2
extdeps.git.object_store	flat_map	1

Those are precisely the four unresolved_method_frontier rows this PR deletes, at their declared occurrence counts. They measured observed=0 because (a) was resolving those receivers. So (a) and the deletions are one change wearing two commits, and (a) does real work: nine sites resolve because of it. I went looking for evidence against (a) and found evidence for it.

(The 9-and-9 is a coincidence of counts, not a join — compile refusals in mercurial/git modules versus host-budget claims. Different populations.)

Status: branch is byte-identical to 974ac5d808; the bisect arm was reverted whole and (a) was never reverted on the false basis. This PR carries no wrong-value defect. It cannot show green while main carries #8947's floor red, because every PR run merges main — that red is not this PR's to fix.

Set equality on names, same planned count, and the main arm never contained this branch. Zero delta attributable to this diff. interrupted_before_verdict=4 is present on main too and is not this PR's.

• regen — first_generation_equal=true planned=133 executed=133 declared_divergent=1 [main.rs]
• mirrors — diff -rq of the candidate against src/v1/stage0/src is empty: byte-identical, so they are regenerated and mine, not main's restored by the merge
• scope — 4 files; main has caught up on v1_compiler_emit_rust.rs, so that left the diff

This PR has failed CI four times for four inherited reasons — #8947's host-budget claims, my own deliberate bisect arm, TerminalLedgerUnrenderable (owned by another lane), and now main's 8. None was a defect in this diff, and the earlier wrong-value attribution is retracted above with its receipt.

failed=0. The eight runner-width/fleet identities that this PR was previously held on are absent — they were main's, and the three repairs above cleared them.

The floor phase is still red. Corrected attribution: an earlier version of this comment blamed the 164 runtime-errored rows. That was wrong — I inferred it from co-occurrence without reading the gating predicate. required_floor_outcome_is_clean (src/v1/stage0/src/bin/claim_executor.rs, identical to origin/main — this branch does not touch that file) enumerates exactly seven gating populations: failures, stale_quarantine, interrupted_before_verdict, completed_over_cost_requirement, host_tool_unresolved, route_gap, stale_route_gap. known_red_runtime_errored is not among them, and the doc comment above it records that as deliberate: they "are REPORTED and deliberately NOT gating… Making them block reds lanes with no connection to the defect."

So the gate on this run is the 4 cost interruptions, not the 164. Both populations are outside this diff:

• known_red_runtime_errored=164 — every one the <lens>_published_mock_corpus family (github, http_pilot, llm, sec_edgar, shell, gcp, git): "enrolled as expected-red but RUNTIME-ERRORED, not failed… a claim that threw produced none." One missing function replicated per lens; banked as a separate lane. I counted the log lines rather than trusting the counter — 164 lines, 164 in the field.
• interrupted_before_verdict=4 — a cost family owned elsewhere, observed at 5 / 1 / 3 on unrelated trees, so its size moves without any diff.

Re-measured on this exact tree rather than carried forward:

• arms — kb2 refuses (the row-(a) RED), ka clean (positive control), cmin clean
• regen — first_generation_equal=true planned=133 executed=133 declared_divergent=1 [main.rs]
• mirrors — diff -rq candidate vs src/v1/stage0/src is empty: byte-identical, regenerated, not main's restored by the merge
• scope — 4 files vs main

Readiness is 6 of 7: five dashboard approvals, zero request-changes, no active reviews on this HEAD, open, not draft, MERGEABLE. Checks is the only unmet criterion and it is now wholly a banked lane — whether that constitutes a merge bar is not this PR's to decide.
