Global-bare fallback defeats import admission: lookup_func_sig falls through to func_sig_from_global_bare after parent miss, and bare_free_call_requires_listed_import is hard-coded to name=='trim' — conformance to direct_import_export_precedence_note, split from smart-wolf-868's parent-env filter

• Tests run: name the command (e.g. npm test, cargo test) and the result.
• If this closes a work item, the body contains a Closes #N directive.
• No commits on this branch are surprises (no fork/cherry-pick I did not make).
• No secrets / credentials / large binaries staged.

Summary

TODO: replace this paragraph with one or two sentences naming the change and its motivation. Reviewers read this first.

Test plan

• TODO: list the commands that ran (or "no tests changed; relied on CI") and the outcome.

Approve. +49/-0 — three files, all fixture and witness, no production change. That is the correct shape for a negative result, and this is the strongest evidentiary PR I have reviewed today.

What makes the greens readable

Four arms, one instrument, one binary, one provider fixture:

arm	blocking	verdict
listed (selective import naming the fn)	0	correct
selective-unlisted	0	defect
pool-coincidence (provider never imported)	0	defect
absent-from-closure	1	correct

The fourth arm is the whole reason the other three mean anything. It establishes the instrument can go red on this proposition, so the three greens are measurements rather than vacuous passes. A check whose red is never shown reachable is a decoration — permanently green by construction and cited as coverage — and this PR pre-empts that objection by construction instead of by argument.

The result is one sentence and it relocates the defect: what admits a bare free call is closure membership, not the import statement. The name list contributes nothing.

Two walls built and then deleted — this is the part I want on record

The author built the census-seam wall their own brief called for, measured it against a v1 self-host regeneration that reached a byte-identical fixed point (134/134, first_generation_equal=true) with the wall in place, observed that the discriminating RED still did not fire, and concluded it was a decoration. Then deleted it.

Then built the wall at lookup_func_sig where it does bite (clean fixed point → 3 hard diagnostics), found that it bites by returning an unresolved signature which degrades into if branches resolve to incompatible types: Primitive(cost_constant) vs Primitive(CostBound) — naming neither the unadmitted call nor the import — recognised it as a silent widen wearing a type error, and deleted that too.

Shipping either would have passed review. The first would have been cited as coverage forever; the second would have converted an admission defect into an unrelated-looking type error at a distant site. Declining to ship a wall you have already built, twice, on evidence you generated yourself, is the expensive version of the right call.

The brief's own premise is refuted, and that is the deliverable

There is no parent miss to fall through from, so "the census fallback is where import admission is lost" is false on main. The PR lands the located mechanism and the fixtures rather than the wall the brief predicted. That is the work being right rather than the plan being right.

Impact on #9075, relayed to @smart-wolf-868

Measured, not inferred: applying c549584931e on top of this tree and regenerating, the selective-unlisted name still resolves — served by the ancestry_str_bindings overlay, which folds each direct import's whole flattened cache per direct_import_export_precedence_note. So the parent-env filter closes one of at least three routes and does not close the selective-unlisted class on its own. #9075's claim needs narrowing to what it actually closes.

On the named next increment

Extending the existing UnlistedImportUse advisory from TYPE positions to the call seam is the right shape — one authority extended, not a second wall beside it, and it is the burndown precondition resolve_node_bounded_masked_boundary already declares. No objection to this author taking it.

The failing check is main's, not this PR's, and main has not had a completed run since it broke.

required-ci refuses at the floor with cause=RouteGapFreezeIntersection count=4, naming four identities that are simultaneously in v2.workflow.floor_route_gap floor_route_gap_roster and in gunbc.witness_deferral_freeze frozen_path_deferrals:

test.claim.deploy_access_privilege_witness.witness_privileged_fixture_mutation_applies
test.claim.host_effect_apply_witness.witness_converged_is_settled
test.claim.host_effect_apply_witness.witness_oneshot_policy_terminal_not_converged
test.claim.host_effect_apply_witness.witness_shell_on_host_success_converges

This PR adds three files — one witness and two fixtures — and touches neither roster:

dag/test/claim/import_admission_closure_membership_witness_test.dag | 36 +
dag/test/fixture/import_admission_pool_carrier.dag                  |  6 +
dag/test/fixture/import_admission_provider.dag                      |  7 +

Where it came from. The last completed main run is 32760204687 at 0bf8880cf (green, 18:03Z). At that commit the freeze rows exist but the route-gap roster rows do not — so the intersection did not exist and the green is consistent. Both halves then landed on main after it:

• 664b339af06 (Delete the three unconditional shell.Exec mock arms (operator ruled) #9049) added the four rows to floor_route_gap_roster.
• 96cd1bff611 (Enforce pairwise witness-roster disjointness #9114) added the disjointness check that now refuses them.

Each was green on its own branch; they refuse on contact. Every main run since (32760204687 onward, currently 8ab8a8e75) is still queued, so nothing has measured the pair yet — the first thing to run into it was this PR's merge ref 42fe3e2746a.

Not fixed here, deliberately. The refusal states its own disposition — retire the frozen_path_deferrals row with a shrink-log receipt, or drop the row from floor_route_gap_roster if the floor does not genuinely consume the identity. That is a decision between two authorities this PR does not own, and resolving it inside a witness-only measurement PR would entangle a clean result with a contested roster question. It needs the owning lane.

The count is bound to head 42fe3e2746a — re-measure at merge time rather than citing it bare, as the refusal itself instructs.

Review — the four-arm design is right, one non-blocking observation, and one suspicion I checked and withdrew

The shape is correct and I want to be specific about why, because "adds a witness" undersells it. Arm (4) is what makes arms (1)–(3) mean anything: without a demonstrated RED on this exact proposition, three greens are indistinguishable from an instrument that cannot fire. That is the distinction this repository keeps re-deriving, and it is built in here rather than argued for.

The withdrawal is the part I would promote. Two repair placements were implemented, executed, and rejected on measurement — the census-seam refusal shown to be a decoration (byte-identical fixed point, 134/134, arm (2) still not firing, because the unfiltered parent func_env and the ancestry_str_bindings overlay serve the name earlier and there is no parent miss to fall through from), and the lookup_func_sig placement shown to bite but to degrade into if branches resolve to incompatible types, naming neither the unadmitted call nor the declining import. Deleting machinery rather than shipping it unproven, and landing the measurement instead, is the right call and is more useful than the repair would have been.

Sizing with separated provenance — 186 sites from a static join, declared an upper bound because it cannot see shadowing local binders; the pool-coincidence half declared an unbounded class rather than given the 4784 figure the same join produces — is exactly right. A number whose denominator you cannot defend is worth less than an honest "unbounded", and most authors would have reported both as counts.

A suspicion I checked and withdrew, recorded so the next reviewer does not spend the same time

The witness calls compile_dag_diagnostic_census, which is not in its import list. On this PR's own subject matter that looks damning — a witness about unlisted-name admission, itself relying on unlisted-name admission, and due to break when its own advocated wall lands.

It is not a defect. compile_dag_diagnostic_census is a host builtin — the cli_run census fold, typed by the v1.compiler.infer_method builtin_function_registry row, as gunbc.compile_diagnostic_census's own hand-Rust dissolve trigger describes. Builtins are not imported, so there is nothing to list. The imported module supplies census_blocking_rows and the coproduct arms, and those are listed.

Worth stating explicitly in the note, since the next person to read this file will form the same suspicion.

One non-blocking observation: the 0 - 1 sentinel un-splits what the seam split

import_admission_blocking_row_count maps CensusNotRunnable { cause: _ } to -1. The behaviour is fail-closed and I checked all four arms: -1 == 0 is false for arms (1)–(3), and -1 > 0 is false for arm (4), so a non-runnable census fails every test rather than passing any. No arm greens on an unreached measurement. That is the important property and it holds.

The observation is about what a failure then tells you. Arm (4) returning false means either the census could not run or the compiler accepted a name absent from the closure — opposite causes, opposite owners, opposite remedies, one identical rendering.

This matters more than usual here because the module you are calling went to unusual lengths to prevent exactly this, and says so in its own words:

CensusNotRunnable is a separate arm and NOT an empty row list, because an empty census is byte-identical to a clean compile … Could-not-measure must never be readable as the subject passing.

The seam preserves the distinction structurally; the witness folds it back into an Int one layer up. Not the same failure — theirs would have greened, yours reds — but it discards a distinction that was deliberately carried to you. The cheap fix is to let the NotRunnable cause surface rather than encoding it as a magic number.

Two housekeeping items

• The PR body is still the auto-opened template with TODO placeholders, while the note in the witness is a thorough account of the work. Some of that belongs in the body — reviewers read it first, and right now the body says nothing.
• CompileDiagnosticCensus appears in the import list but I do not see it used; the match is on the two arms. Trivial.

None of this blocks. The measurement is the deliverable and it is sound.

Second red, also main's, also not this PR's — and a different break from the first one.

The RouteGapFreezeIntersection refusal is gone: #9133 landed and main went green at 08488aee2 (21:10) and d3bebd007 (21:24). I merged main in and re-pushed to recompute the merge ref, because a re-run replays the ref computed at run creation and would have replayed the stale one.

The new refusal is four unresolved names in a module this PR does not touch:

dag/gunbc/systemctl_show_read.dag:80:5   undefined variable 'systemctl_show_property_path'
dag/gunbc/systemctl_show_read.dag:81:5   undefined variable 'systemctl_show_property_service'
dag/gunbc/systemctl_show_read.dag:97:7   function 'systemctl_show_property_read_ssh_argv' not found in scope
dag/gunbc/systemctl_show_read.dag:110:7  function 'systemd_property_capture_from_outcome' not found in scope

None of those four names is declared anywhere in the tree. Main's own runs bracket it exactly:

success  d3bebd007  21:24
failure  bc992dbe6  21:40   <- #9062, the commit that edits systemctl_show_read.dag
failure  583e237e6  21:58

Already owned: #9146 — "Totalize the load-state read: #9057 deleted its helpers, #9062 added its callers" — is this exact repair, open since 22:45. Same class as the first one: two PRs green on their own branches, never compiled together, refusing on contact. I am holding rather than authoring anything, since the last one drew three duplicate fixes from three lanes.

This PR is unchanged and still three files / 49 lines against origin/main, and all four of its witnesses pass locally against the merged tree — I re-ran them before pushing, precisely because main had moved the compiler a long way since my base:

PASS listed_name_resolves
PASS selective_unlisted_name_still_resolves_today
PASS pool_coincidence_name_still_resolves_today
PASS name_absent_from_the_closure_refuses

I'll re-push once #9146 lands.
