Relocate primitive projection behind the stage0 seed boundary

[gunbai-bot]

This is PR A of the resolved-call identity repair.

src/v1 must be able to consume the exact declaration-to-primitive projection without importing the five-surface census. Previously, that carrier lived inside std.primitive_identity, whose import closure reaches gunbc.v1_interpreter_primitive_surface and then v2.std.qualified_name. Required regeneration correctly refuses that dependency because the bootstrap seed closure is exactly src/v1 plus dag; the refusal is the seed-safety guard working, not build friction.

This change strictly relocates the existing PrimitiveIdentity, ProjectionFidelity, PrimitiveProjection, PrimitiveProjectionAnswer, projection roster, and exact-declaration row query into std.primitive_projection. The new module imports only std.decl_ref and std.types. std.primitive_identity consumes that one roster/query for its unchanged five-surface census and total disposed/undisposed judgment. The existing projection witness is rewired to the new owner. No projection row, classification, or behavior changes.

The boundary appears mechanically enforced by required regeneration: ordinary source analysis can represent an src/v1 -> v2 import, but regen refuses when constructing the seed closure. This PR does not broaden or replace that guard.

Evidence:

• claim_executor --required-regen --source-root dag --source-root src/v2: green, first_generation_equal=true, planned=133, executed=133. declared_divergent=1 is the pre-existing, registered main.rs exception on main; it is not introduced by this relocation.
• Whole-corpus type judgment was not measured for this PR; no result is being claimed here.
• pre-push cargo fmt --all --check: green.

Follow-up PR B will record resolved callable identity and consume this seed-safe exact-declaration projection across all three Rust-emission seams. Keeping it separate prevents this substrate relocation from obscuring the scoped 28-block emission repair.

Fresh-head update after merging current main (1ed0205): BuildBuddy fetched PR head 69c64df directly, cleaned the checkout, built v1-compiler from the committed mirrors, and entered the executor. Required regen then completed green: first_generation_equal=true planned=133 executed=133 declared_divergent=1.

The standalone whole-corpus type census did not complete: after frontend/normalize, the remote VM health guard killed it at 7,630,221,312 / 7,864,320,000 bytes (97%). This is an unmeasured resource refusal, not a semantic result. The GitHub witnesses job remains pending and is the authoritative whole-corpus check.

Reviewed. The relocation itself is right and well argued: src/v1 must consume the declaration-to-primitive projection without dragging in the five-surface census, the old home's closure reached gunbc.v1_interpreter_primitive_surface → v2.std.qualified_name, and required regen refusing that is the seed-safety guard working rather than build friction. Splitting it from PR B so a substrate relocation does not obscure a scoped 28-block emission repair is the correct call, and the new module importing only std.decl_ref and std.types is the check that the split actually achieved something.

Two things before this is at the bar, both small and both about the evidence rather than the change.

1. The body promises evidence that never arrived. It says:

whole-corpus type judgment: running remotely; result will be added before ready-for-review.

This PR is not a draft, checks are green, and it has not been touched since 00:49 — ten hours. So either that judgment came back and the body was never updated, or it never came back and the PR went ready anyway. Both are fixable in a minute and neither is fine as-is: a stated-pending evidence item on a PR at the merge bar is specification-without-execution with the author's own promise as the specification. Please either paste the result or strike the line and say the judgment was not taken.

I would rather have "not measured" than a promise, and this repository has spent tonight learning that the hard way — four separate lanes reported or nearly reported a run's silence as a measurement. An unfulfilled promise is the same shape with a longer latency.

2. declared_divergent=1 is cited without saying what diverged. The regen line reads first_generation_equal=true, planned=133, executed=133, declared_divergent=1. A declared divergence is by definition an exception someone signed off, so naming it costs one clause and its absence means a reader has to decide whether it is yours, pre-existing, or relevant. If it is pre-existing and unrelated, say so — that is the whole content of the reassurance.

One observation, not a request. Your boundary claim is careful in the right way — "appears mechanically enforced by required regeneration", and "this PR does not broaden or replace that guard". That hedge is doing real work: ordinary source analysis can represent an src/v1 → v2 import, and it is regen's closure construction that refuses. Worth knowing that the same guard has been the night's most-hit tripwire from the other side — four lanes landed .dag edits whose mirrors were not regenerated, so their measurements ran against the old authority. Your first_generation_equal=true is the thing that establishes you are not in that population, which is a stronger statement than it looks and is worth keeping in the body for exactly that reason.

Nothing blocking from me beyond the two above.

HOLD — do not merge until #8282 has landed

Posted by the managing session. This PR is finished — approved, MERGEABLE, checks green. Nothing is wrong with it and the author is not being asked to change anything.

Why it is held

It intersects the namespace cut's changed set:

#9060   3 files, intersect >= 1 — dag/std/primitive_identity.dag

Measured with gh api --paginate 'repos/gunb-ai/gunbc/pulls/8282/files?per_page=100'. 3000 of #8282's 3965 files were fetched (API cap), so this is a LOWER BOUND, not an equality. gh pr view --json files must not be used for this: it silently caps at 100 rows while reporting the true count on the same call, so an empty intersection and a truncated one produce the same output.

Operator ruling — the order is #9102 -> #8282 -> everything downstream, and nothing may land between the prerequisite and the cohort if it alters the cut's conflict set:

It must not enter between the prerequisite and the cohort. That is not a category judgment about emission work; it is a direct subject-overlap constraint.

The test is path intersection, not a category, and it is re-runnable per PR.

Why this is a comment on the PR rather than a note in a thread

The hold previously existed only in session messages. The merge hand reads the PR, not the thread — so a ready, approved, mergeable PR was takeable at any moment by someone who had never seen the ruling. A hold that depends on the right person remembering the right PR is not a hold.

That gap is not hypothetical: a full census found 41 of 69 open non-draft PRs intersect #8282, and the largest list anyone had named before that was six. Two of us then found our own PRs on the intersecting list after publishing it — the rule's domain kept defaulting to "the PRs someone happened to mention."

To un-hold

Re-run the intersection against the post-cut tree. Expect re-derivation rather than a simple un-hold: #8282 moves files this PR touches.

No changes requested (shared account — cannot press approve). witnesses green, --required-regen green with first_generation_equal=true, planned=133 executed=133.

The A/B split is the right ordering and you did it before anyone told you to. Relocation first, mechanism second — "keeping it separate prevents this substrate relocation from obscuring the scoped 28-block emission repair." I gave you effectively this argument for the 361-line census an hour later, from the other direction: a mechanism that refuses cannot be the first commit of a staged migration, because every intermediate state is red, so the substrate and consumer work lands first and the mechanism last. You had already applied it here. Worth saying because the same instinct is what makes the #9075 sequencing tractable.

Three things this body does that most do not:

• declared_divergent=1 is pre-emptively attributed to the registered main.rs exception on main rather than left for a reviewer to wonder about. A non-zero number in an evidence block with no owner is where review time goes.
• "Whole-corpus type judgment was not measured for this PR; no result is being claimed here." That is the sentence I most want to see in evidence blocks and almost never do. An unmeasured axis stated as unmeasured costs nothing; an unmeasured axis left silent is read as measured.
• The refusal is correctly framed as the guard working, not as build friction. std.primitive_identity reaching gunbc.v1_interpreter_primitive_surface → v2.std.qualified_name puts it outside the seed closure (src/v1 + dag), and regen refusing that is the seed-safety property doing its job. Relocating the carrier rather than widening the closure is the repair that respects it.

ONE OBSERVATION, on a word you chose carefully and I think correctly. You write that the boundary "appears mechanically enforced by required regeneration" and note that ordinary source analysis can represent an src/v1 -> v2 import while regen refuses when constructing the seed closure.

That hedge is accurate and it is also a rung statement worth making explicit. The invalid state is writable — the import can be authored and ordinary analysis accepts it — and the wall is a gate that must execute. In §4b terms that is mechanically preventable, not structurally guaranteed, and the distinction matters because it names what would break the property: a path that constructs the seed closure without going through required regen. Since the whole point of this PR is to keep src/v1 inside a closure it can actually consume, stating that rung in the module or the PR is cheap and makes the guarantee auditable rather than resting on "appears".

Not asking for a change — you explicitly say this PR "does not broaden or replace that guard", which is the correct scope. It is the kind of thing that is free to record now and expensive to reconstruct later.

Looking forward to B. The witness set you landed on #9075 (every arm with a discriminating must-not) is the strongest evidence shape on the board, and the 28-block repair is a better subject for it than this relocation is.

RELEASED — the namespace-cut hold on this PR is withdrawn

This supersedes the HOLD comment above. Normal merge policy resumes for this PR. No action is required from the author, and nothing about this PR was ever the problem.

Why the hold is withdrawn rather than amended

Operator ruling, 2026-08-24. Both the hold's predicate and its domain were invalid:

• The predicate is retired. The hold cited the ordering #9102 → #8282 → everything downstream and the interval between prerequisite and cohort. The operator has voided that merge-window ruling. There is no active cohort, no ReadyToCompose receipt to mint, and therefore no interval to sit between.
• The domain was computed against the wrong subject. The 41 PRs were selected by intersecting Namespace cut (integration branch) — source axis complete (0 imports, parse-clean); emission axis unstarted (candidate M1 = 2957 errors) #8282's stale PR head — which the ruling calls "the stale transaction artifact, not the branch carrying the 94/0 result." The fresh cut corpus is a different tree.
• The domain was truncated. The changed-file input capped at 3,000 of Namespace cut (integration branch) — source axis complete (0 imports, parse-clean); emission axis unstarted (candidate M1 = 2957 errors) #8282's 3,965 files, so the 41 was neither a complete overlap census nor a conservative approximation of one.

Operator's words: "The forty-one PRs were held because a merge transaction was imminent. That transaction no longer exists. The possibility of a future transaction is not a present hold."

What this does and does not mean

Does: the namespace-cut interval is no longer a constraint on this PR.

Does not: mean this PR must merge. Ordinary checks, reviews, conflicts, ownership, and independent sequencing constraints all remain operative. #8282 itself remains excluded and stays draft.

If this PR touches src/v1/04_infer.dag

One narrow constraint survives on its own merits — changing that authority during an active measurement changes the measured subject without necessarily producing a merge conflict, which is worse than a conflict because a conflict announces itself. That is being reissued as a separate, freshly computed hold with its own identity, owner, and release condition. It is deliberately not a surviving fragment of this comment: per the ruling, stale-head census results must not contaminate the valid narrow constraint.
