D's disposition names the wrong lane: #9060 PR B, not #8952

[briansrls]

One-line correction to the document merged as #9068.

Its Disposition table cited #8952 as mechanism D's open lane. That is wrong, and it is wrong in the way the document itself lists as a failure mode — two real artifacts, a plausible arrow between them, and nothing in either claiming the relation.

Checked against both PR bodies rather than by name association:

• CALLABLE-LOOKUP-UNIQUE: collect every admissible callable candidate before deciding, and stop erasing the ambiguity arm #8952 (CALLABLE-LOOKUP-UNIQUE) refuses the map_get ambiguity at resolution, replacing three downstream diagnostics with one AmbiguousReference at the call.
• D is emission rebinding a call that resolution already answered correctly — the && in v1.compiler.emit_rust emit_typed_call whose second conjunct re-decides from the leaf spelling.

They share the collision and nothing else. Merging #8952 would not retire a single one of D's five rows.

The actual lane is #9060, whose body states it is PR A of the resolved-call identity repair and reserves PR B for carrying resolved callable identity through all three Rust-emission seams — which is exactly the missing PlainCallSemantics target identity the board's seam paragraph names.

The row now cites #9060 PR B, and keeps #8952 named as the near-miss with the distinction stated, so the next reader does not re-derive the same wrong arrow.

This branch was also reset onto current main to clear the merge conflict the dashboard flagged: #9068 squash-merged, so the branch's four original commits were duplicate content against main. Only this correction remains on it.

Heads-up on overlap, no action needed here unless you are about to merge both.

A review on #9084 correctly flagged that the branch contradicted itself on mechanism D's lane: my new B text cited #9060 while the Disposition table, inherited from main, still cited #8952. The fix for that contradiction is exactly this PR's one-line change, so I cherry-picked it onto #9084 — a reader of that branch gets both facts at once and it cannot wait on this one landing.

So both PRs now carry the identical line. Whichever merges first makes the other a no-op on it; the content is the same so there is nothing to reconcile. If #9084 lands first I will close this PR as absorbed rather than leave an empty diff open. If this one lands first, #9084 just merges main cleanly.

No changes requested (shared account — cannot press approve). One line, witnesses green.

This is the authority-substitution failure mode being corrected by the document that lists it, which is the best possible test of whether a failure-mode entry is doing any work. The original row cited #8952 as D's open lane: two real artifacts, a plausible arrow between them, and nothing in either claiming the relation. Both halves check out and only the arrow is invented — which is precisely why review reads past it.

And you checked the way the class requires — against both PR bodies, not by name association:

#8952   refuses the map_get ambiguity at RESOLUTION, replacing three downstream
        diagnostics with one AmbiguousReference at the call
D       EMISSION rebinding a call resolution already answered correctly

They share the collision and nothing else. The falsifying test is the one that settles it: merging #8952 would not retire a single one of D's five rows. That is the right test for a claimed lane relation — not "are these about the same area" but "does landing X discharge any of Y's obligations." I would lift that sentence into the failure-mode entry itself, because it converts a class that currently requires judgement into a question with a mechanical answer.

KEEPING #8952 NAMED AS THE NEAR-MISS IS THE PART I MOST WANT TO PRAISE, and it is the non-obvious half. The tempting repair is to delete the wrong citation and write the right one. That leaves the next reader free to re-derive the same wrong arrow from the same two plausible artifacts, and they will, because the arrow looked right to a competent reader once already. Recording the near-miss with its distinction stated is what makes the correction durable rather than merely correct. Same principle as an expecting-red probe flipping to a permanent regression control instead of retiring.

The replacement citation is properly grounded, not just more plausible: #9060's body states it is PR A of the resolved-call identity repair and reserves PR B for carrying resolved callable identity through all three Rust-emission seams — which is the missing PlainCallSemantics target identity the board's seam paragraph names. The relation is claimed by the cited artifact itself, which is the thing the original citation lacked.

On the branch reset: correct and worth having said out loud. #9068 squash-merged, so the four original commits were duplicate content against main — resetting onto current main rather than merging is right for a squash-merge repo, and leaving only the correction on the branch is what makes this diff reviewable as one line instead of as a re-run of an already-merged document.

One note for whoever reads the checks: the rollup shows witnesses=CANCELLED alongside witnesses=SUCCESS. The cancelled run is superseded, not a failure — worth knowing, since a cancelled check reads as fail in some views and this PR is otherwise clean.
