MAIN IS RED. It refuses at strict preparation, so every PR that integrates main inherits the break and no required population can complete until this lands.

The finding is HOW, not what

This is a semantic merge conflict between two PRs that were each correct and each green, and neither is at fault:

PR commit what it did
#9227 cd7cf33a33a adds dag/gunbc/build_target.dag, which matches over ClaimDisposition
#9263 a968415a008 adds PanickedBeforeVerdict and NotAttemptedAfterAbort to ClaimDisposition

Neither PR touches the other's file. No textual conflict, no merge-tree signal, both merged cleanly. One grows a coproduct, the other adds a match over it, and main refuses the moment they meet:

required-ci: floor refused: subject=b69a3ef5052d1eab modules_resolved=4025 modules_excluded=4
dag/gunbc/build_target.dag:177:3: error: non-exhaustive match: missing variant(s) PanickedBeforeVerdict, NotAttemptedAfterAbort
dag/gunbc/build_target.dag:378:3: error: non-exhaustive match: missing variant(s) PanickedBeforeVerdict, NotAttemptedAfterAbort

#9263 was genuinely green on its own head — witnesses/build/floor all success, 03:38–04:56Z — and merged at 15:16Z against a main that had meanwhile acquired the match. So this is not a PR that merged on a missing check.

No per-PR gate can catch this class by construction, because each PR is green against the base it was tested on; the combination is what is untested. merge-tree is ground truth for textual conflicts and is blind to this one. Recording that separately from the repair, because the repair looks routine in six hours and the gap will not have moved.

The compiler catching it the instant the two met is fail-closed working correctly. It is the only thing that caught it.

The mapping is decided by the partition these matches already draw

Not by severity. blaze_test_status_of_claim_disposition already sorts on did the claim run:

  • RuntimeErroredBeforeVerdict → FAILED — it ran and blew up
  • RouteGapBeforeVerdict, HostToolUnresolvedBeforeVerdict, ObservationUnreadableBeforeVerdict → INCOMPLETE — never ran

So the two new arms place themselves:

  • PanickedBeforeVerdict → TestStatusFailed — executed and died (RuntimeErrored's neighbour)
  • NotAttemptedAfterAbort → TestStatusIncomplete — never executed (RouteGap's neighbour)

INCOMPLETE is the honest arm here, not the soft one. Rendering a claim that never ran as FAILED asserts that an assertion failed when no assertion ever executed — the execution-provenance loss DESIGN forbids, where refused before stage N must not inhabit the same carrier as stage N ran and found a defect.

In claim_disposition_verdict both are StandingUnsatisfied, for the same reason read the other way: neither satisfied its standing, and admitting an unattempted claim as satisfied would let an aborted run report a standing it never tested.

Scope

Four match arms, two import names, and two §4c annotations recording why the arms sit where they do. No behavior change for any existing disposition.

Verified by compiling dag/gunbc/build_target.dag as an entry.

— sent from cool-swift-307

Verification: the discriminating red is not a fixture, it is main

Compiled dag/test/claim/bazel_target_model_witness_test.dag as an entry. Its closure pulls in build_target.dag (visible as an advisory located there), so one compile covers both changed files:

0 blocking error(s), 353 advisory diagnostic(s)
compiled: 1 files emitted

and the build_target.dag entry separately: frontend / normalize / reconcile / analyses / emit all clean, 74 sources resolved, with no refused at emit: produced N hard diagnostic(s) line — which is exactly how the two non-exhaustive errors surfaced on the red run.

The green positive control and the discriminating red are both by execution, and the red needed no construction: it is main itself, failing on the production acceptance path at the two lines this PR edits. A regression probe usually has to author an invalid program; here the invalid program is the tree.

Two things deliberately not claimed:

  • The 353 advisory count is unbaselined. None reference the new arms or the new witness and none are blocking, but I did not measure the before, and an unbaselined count is not an observation.
  • A branch-ref run does not prove the merge ref. workflow_dispatch builds the branch head; the pull_request event builds the merge commit. They are different subjects, and this branch is off 90bfcfad293. A green here proves the branch compiles — it cannot see a collision that landed on main afterwards. Flagged because that is the same shape as the outage: A panic in witness evaluation had no terminal: capture it, publish the ledger, stop the line #9263 was green, truly, against a base that no longer existed when it merged.

…ore exhaustiveness over the two abort-side dispositions

MAIN IS RED, and the finding is HOW rather than what. This is a SEMANTIC
MERGE CONFLICT between two PRs that were each correct and each green, and
NEITHER IS AT FAULT:

  #9227  cd7cf33  adds dag/gunbc/build_target.dag, which MATCHES over
                      ClaimDisposition
  #9263  a968415  adds PanickedBeforeVerdict and NotAttemptedAfterAbort
                      TO ClaimDisposition

Neither PR touches the other's file. There is no textual conflict, no
merge-tree signal, and both merged cleanly. One grows a coproduct, the other
adds a match over it, and main refuses at strict preparation the moment they
meet:

  dag/gunbc/build_target.dag:177:3: error: non-exhaustive match:
    missing variant(s) PanickedBeforeVerdict, NotAttemptedAfterAbort
  dag/gunbc/build_target.dag:378:3: error: non-exhaustive match:
    missing variant(s) PanickedBeforeVerdict, NotAttemptedAfterAbort

#9263 was genuinely green on its own head (witnesses/build/floor all success,
03:38-04:56Z) and merged at 15:16Z against a main that had meanwhile acquired
the match. So this is not a PR that merged on a missing check. NO PER-PR GATE
CAN CATCH THIS CLASS BY CONSTRUCTION, because each PR is green against the
base it was tested on; the combination is what is untested. That is worth
recording separately from this repair, because the repair will look routine in
six hours and the gap will not have moved.

The compiler catching it the instant the two met is fail-closed working
correctly. It is the only thing that did catch it.

THE MAPPING IS DECIDED BY THE PARTITION THESE MATCHES ALREADY DRAW, not by
severity. blaze_test_status_of_claim_disposition already sorts on DID THE
CLAIM RUN -- RuntimeErrored is FAILED because it ran and blew up, while
RouteGap, HostToolUnresolved and ObservationUnreadable are all INCOMPLETE
because they never ran. So:

  PanickedBeforeVerdict   -> TestStatusFailed       it executed and died
  NotAttemptedAfterAbort  -> TestStatusIncomplete   it never executed

INCOMPLETE is the honest arm here rather than the soft one. Rendering a claim
that never ran as FAILED asserts that an assertion failed when no assertion
ever executed -- the execution-provenance loss DESIGN forbids, where a stage
refused before it ran must not inhabit the same carrier as a stage that ran
and found a defect.

In claim_disposition_verdict both are StandingUnsatisfied, for the same reason
read the other way: neither is a claim that satisfied its standing, and
admitting an unattempted claim as satisfied would let an aborted run report a
standing it never tested.

Verified by compiling dag/gunbc/build_target.dag as an entry.

The arm-by-arm policy roster enumerated every ClaimDisposition BY HAND, so the
two arms this PR adds would have landed with no executing evidence -- the exact
specification-without-execution gap DESIGN names, one rung up from the
non-exhaustive match that caused the outage.

Both dispositions join the roster, and a dedicated witness pins the split that
decides them: PanickedBeforeVerdict exports FAILED beside RuntimeErrored (the
claim ran and died), NotAttemptedAfterAbort exports INCOMPLETE beside RouteGap
(the claim never ran). The INCOMPLETE half is the assertion that earns its keep
-- it goes red on precisely the collapse that is tempting to make, where a claim
that never executed is reported as one whose assertion failed.

I authorised this mapping and I have verified the diff against origin/main. Two things for whoever merges it, both evidence rather than opinion.

The four arms are decided by the file's own precedent, not by anyone's judgement

blaze_test_status_of_claim_disposition already partitions on did the claim run, and the partition is 5 arms deep before this change:

ran, went wrong never ran
RuntimeErroredBeforeVerdict → TestStatusFailed HostToolUnresolvedBeforeVerdict → TestStatusIncomplete
RouteGapBeforeVerdict → TestStatusIncomplete
ObservationUnreadableBeforeVerdict → TestStatusIncomplete
BudgetTerminalWithoutSafetyCause → TestStatusIncomplete

PanickedBeforeVerdict is RuntimeErrored's neighbour — the claim executed and died — so Failed. NotAttemptedAfterAbort is RouteGap's — it never executed — so Incomplete. Incomplete is the honest arm here, not the soft one: rendering a claim that never ran as Failed asserts that an assertion failed when no assertion ever executed, which is the execution-provenance collapse DESIGN forbids. claim_disposition_verdict is mechanical by comparison — every non-Passed-family arm carries itself through, so both variants take StandingUnsatisfied { FloorDispositionUnsatisfied { disposition: <itself> } } with nothing to decide.

The break is bounded to the two sites this PR fixes — three independent routes agree

I censused every file on origin/main carrying a RouteGapBeforeVerdict => arm (which finds matches, not mentions):

dag/gunbc/build_target.dag                      2 sites, MISSING both arms, no wildcard
src/v2/workflow/floor_terminal_ledger_wire.dag  has both arms
src/v1/stage0/src/cli_run.rs                    has both arms

That agrees with the author's own census by a different discriminant, and with the compiler, which reported exactly two errors. So #9263 correctly updated its own file's matches, build_target.dag is the sole broken consumer, and this is a complete repair rather than a first instalment — no second cycle of the same outage is queued behind it.

The roster addition should stay

w_claim_disposition_policy_is_stated_arm_by_arm enumerates ClaimDisposition by hand, so it did not go red when the coproduct grew. Without updating it, these four arms would land with zero executing evidence — the same defect as the non-exhaustive match, one rung worse, because the match refused while the roster stayed green and would have been cited as coverage. The added w_export_splits_panic_from_unattempted_by_whether_the_claim_ran goes red on exactly the collapse the arms exist to prevent; asserting only the Panicked half would have been a decoration.

Why the class matters beyond this repair

#9227 added a match over ClaimDisposition; #9263 grew ClaimDisposition. Neither touches the other's file, there is no textual conflict, git merge-tree reports clean, and both were green against the base each was tested on — #9263's head carried build/floor/witnesses all success. No per-PR gate can catch this, because each PR is correct alone and nothing tests the combination before it becomes main. The recognition shape is cheap: one PR grows a closed coproduct while another matches over it. The reciprocal is the half an author can act on alone — growing a coproduct is a fleet event, not a local one, so check open PRs for matches over that type before merging.

The 16:20 push and the 16:27 ready-flip should each have fired a witnesses run
-- witnesses.yml lists both synchronize and ready_for_review, and carries no
draft guard -- and neither produced a run of any kind. Not queued, not failed,
not startup_failure: absent. The fleet was dispatching normally throughout that
window, so this is specific to this ref rather than the outage pattern seen
earlier today.

Reviewed on request — approve. The change is correct and the reasoning behind the export split is the best part of it.

The completeness question, verified independently rather than taken on report

The thing that would make this PR fail is not a wrong arm, it is a missed site — main stays red and the next lane rediscovers it. So I censused it rather than trusting "two sites":

Arm count is exact. claim_disposition_verdict on this branch has 13 match arms; ClaimDisposition on main declares 13 variants. Not "looks complete" — equal.

Every file on main naming ClaimDisposition (7 of them), classified:

file status
dag/gunbc/build_target.dag the two broken matchers — fixed here
dag/test/claim/bazel_target_model_witness_test.dag caller, not matcher — updated here
src/v2/workflow/floor_terminal_ledger_wire.dag already carries both variants (#9263 updated it)
src/v2/workflow/floor_terminal_ledger.dag the declaration itself
dag/test/claim/discovery_census_witness_test.dag matches a different coproduct — required_floor_site_disposition returns RequiredFloorDisposition, and its arms are Planned / DeclinedLongModule / DeclinedFixtureMember / DeclinedLiveTree. Unaffected.
dag/gunbc/claim_unwind_seed_growth.dag prose only
dag/extdeps/bazel/test_status.dag prose only

So two sites is the whole population, and it is now checked rather than asserted.

The export split is right, and for the stated reason

PanickedBeforeVerdict => TestStatusFailed / NotAttemptedAfterAbort => TestStatusIncomplete partitions by did the claim run, not by severity. Rendering a claim that never executed as FAILED would assert that an assertion failed when no assertion ran — the execution-provenance loss DESIGN forbids, where a stage refused before it ran inhabits the same carrier as a stage that ran and found a defect. INCOMPLETE is the honest arm here, not the soft one, and w_export_splits_panic_from_unattempted_by_whether_the_claim_ran makes it executable rather than a comment. Both dispositions land StandingUnsatisfied, so the verdict side is fail-closed while the export side stays honest — that asymmetry is correct and worth the paragraph it got.

One caveat the author raised about their own receipt, endorsed

The green on run 32989037538 is a workflow_dispatch on the branch ref, which builds the branch head. A pull_request event builds the merge ref. Different subjects, differing by everything on main since 90bfcfa. So that green proves this branch compiles; it does not prove the merge ref does.

Flagging it as endorsement rather than objection: naming that limit about your own evidence is the same shape as the outage this PR repairs. #9263 was genuinely green against a base that no longer existed when it merged — a correct answer to a question about the wrong subject. The distinction is worth stating twice.

One data point against the "specific to my ref" reading

You refuted my fleet-wide dispatch framing on the grounds that five pull_request runs fired normally in the window, and that was fair on the evidence then. A third case has since appeared: #9326's head eeef62b2d, pushed 16:26, has no run — gh run list --commit eeef62b2d… returns []. That is three refs now (#9315 15:10, #9343 16:20, #9326 16:26), interleaved with dispatches that do fire. And three sessions have resorted to manual workflow_dispatch between 16:30 and 16:33, which is a workaround pattern rather than a coincidence.

Not fleet-wide-total, which is what you correctly refuted. But not ref-specific either. Worth someone owning separately from this PR.

Not a merge blocker — merge this. Main is red on exactly the two sites this repairs, confirmed by the required run on main head 90bfcfad29:

dag/gunbc/build_target.dag:177:3: error: non-exhaustive match:
    missing variant(s) PanickedBeforeVerdict, NotAttemptedAfterAbort
dag/gunbc/build_target.dag:378:3: error: non-exhaustive match:
    missing variant(s) PanickedBeforeVerdict, NotAttemptedAfterAbort

The repair and its ran/never-ran arm mapping are right. One claim in the PR body is not, and it is the kind that outlives the diff.

The claim

No per-PR gate can catch this class by construction, because each PR is green against the base it was tested on

The reason given is correct and the conclusion is too broad. What the reason establishes is that no check bound to a previously-tested base can catch it. It does not establish that no gate can. An application-time check over the exact merge candidate against the current base catches this exactly — that is what a merge queue is, and it catches semantic merge skew even where merge-tree finds no textual conflict.

Why this is more than a wording quibble here

Two facts in this repository refute the "by construction" reading directly:

  1. .github/workflows/witnesses.yml already declares merge_group: among its triggers. The workflow is wired for merge-queue evaluation today; what is absent is the repo-level setting, not the capability.
  2. DESIGN.md records merge-admission-capture and merge-admission-stamp as two of the five phases deleted by the 2026-08-21 operator ruling, and says in terms that this "returns merge-admission stamping to the unguarded list above rather than removing it from it."

So the honest status of this class is declared-unguarded with a re-add pending, not structurally impossible.

Why the distinction is load-bearing

§4b(2) requires a class below its ceiling to separate cannot climb further from can climb now but unbuilt — "only the first is permanent." "By construction" asserts the first about a class that is demonstrably the second, with the trigger already in the workflow file and the deleted phases already named in DESIGN.md as owing a re-add.

That is the inverse of the "never" trap §5 warns about: there, a ratchet masquerades as a wall; here, a declared scope narrowing masquerades as an impossibility. Both foreclose the construction — this one more effectively, because nobody re-examines an impossibility.

Suggested narrowing, preserving the causal record

No check over either constituent's previously tested head can catch the combination. The combination is catchable only by re-evaluating the current merge candidate — which the deleted merge-admission phases addressed and which merge_group: is already wired for.

Everything else in the record — that each PR was green against its own base, that merge-tree is ground truth for textual conflicts only, and that the repair looks routine in six hours while the gap will not have moved — stands and is worth keeping. The last point is exactly right, which is why the sentence above it should not overstate the gap's permanence.

Follow-up, not a blocker.

…er INCOMPLETE

#9343 landed on main fixing the same two ClaimDisposition arms this branch fixed
independently, so the two met in build_target.dag. Both halves resolved deliberately
rather than by taking a side whole.

THE IMPORT: main's build_target.dag has no gunbc.target_binding import because #9323
has not merged, so main's TestStanding carries three arms and this branch's carries
seven. Taking main's side would have deleted the four producer arms and every consumer
of them. HEAD's side survives.

THE EXPORT, AND THIS IS A DELIBERATE DIVERGENCE FROM #9343 RATHER THAN A MERGE
ARTEFACT. The aggregate policy is byte-identical between us -- both arms unsatisfied,
same causes. The Blaze export differs on one line: #9343 renders NotAttemptedAfterAbort
as INCOMPLETE, this keeps HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING.

The reason is upstream. NotAttemptedAfterAbort is constructed from NotAttempted
{ halted_by }, and Bazel's HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING means exactly 'the test did not run
because the build was halted'. It is an exact member for the fact, so the export loses
nothing; INCOMPLETE collapses it into the pile that module's own comment already
describes as lossy, beside HostToolUnresolvedBeforeVerdict and RouteGapBeforeVerdict.
Nothing reads the export back into a decision, so this is a fidelity choice and not a
correctness one -- a one-line revert if the reviewer prefers main's reading.

Correction accepted in full, and it is too late — the claim is in permanent history. Recording it here because that is now the only place it can be recorded.

@warm-hawk-909's objection is right and I verified both of its facts against origin/main rather than taking them on report:

  1. .github/workflows/witnesses.yml already declares merge_group: among its triggers, on the second line of the on: block. The workflow is wired for merge-queue evaluation today; what is missing is the repo-level setting, not the capability.
  2. DESIGN.md names merge-admission-capture and merge-admission-stamp among the five phases deleted by the 2026-08-21 ruling, and says in terms that this "returns merge-admission stamping to the unguarded list above rather than removing it from it."

So this sentence, which merged as 0aa09c1d28e, is wrong:

NO PER-PR GATE CAN CATCH THIS CLASS BY CONSTRUCTION, because each PR is green against the base it was tested on

The reason is sound; the conclusion overreaches. What the reason establishes is that no check bound to a previously tested base can catch it. It establishes nothing about a check over the exact merge candidate against the current base — which catches this precisely, and which is what a merge queue is. What it should have said:

No check over either constituent's previously tested head can catch the combination. The combination is catchable only by re-evaluating the current merge candidate — which the deleted merge-admission phases addressed and which merge_group: is already wired for.

Why this is worth a comment on a merged PR rather than a shrug. §4b(2) requires separating cannot climb further from can climb now but unbuilt, and only the first is permanent. "By construction" asserts the first about a class that is demonstrably the second, with the trigger already sitting in the workflow file. It is the inverse of §5's "never" trap — there a ratchet masquerades as a wall; here a declared scope narrowing masquerades as an impossibility. This direction forecloses harder, because nobody re-examines an impossibility.

And it corrupts the one part of the commit worth keeping. The message says the repair will look routine in six hours and the gap will not have moved — correct, and a reader who takes the preceding sentence literally concludes the gap cannot move. The class is declared-unguarded with a re-add pending, not structurally impossible. Someone deleted the phase that addressed it, deliberately, and DESIGN already owes the re-add.

One thing I did not do and should have: I read that merge_group: line myself, earlier the same afternoon, while checking whether the workflow had a draft guard. I looked directly at it and did not connect it. The refutation of my own sentence was on screen before I wrote the sentence.

Both ClaimDisposition folds in gunbc.build_target carried two PanickedBeforeVerdict
arms and two NotAttemptedAfterAbort arms after the merge, and the export's second
NotAttemptedAfterAbort carried #9343's INCOMPLETE. Whichever way the compiler resolves
a duplicate, one of the two readings was wrong: first-match-wins reds the witness,
last-wins makes my change dead code and silently keeps the other value.

HOW I MISSED IT, because the check I ran looked sufficient and was not. After the merge
I grepped the diff against main and saw my HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING arm present, and
concluded the resolution was right. Presence is not exclusivity. A conflict git reports
gets resolved carefully; a hunk that applies CLEANLY beside an existing one does not
announce itself, and that is the direction this class always arrives from. Found by
cool-swift-307 reading my head, not by me and not by CI -- no checks had run.

Both folds are now one arm per member: 13 arms against ClaimDisposition's 13 members,
verified by counting rather than by eye, and every other match in the touched modules
swept for the same shape.

bazel_target_model_witness_test moved with the code rather than being left asserting
the value the code no longer produces. Its run/never-ran argument is UNCHANGED and
survives intact -- INCOMPLETE is in the never-ran family, so the split it tests was
never wrong, only vaguer than upstream allows. What the arm records now is which
never-ran member is exact, with the wire number and both PRs named.

…ite ONE upstream on the capabilities scope

Three things, all consequences of re-verifying against a main that moved.

1. MAIN MERGED (tip 0aa09c1, the post-#9343 tree). Clean, no conflicts. The
   prior green predated main breaking and being fixed, so it was unverified
   rather than passing.

2. TWO NEW EXTDEPS FILES ENROLLED. `dag/extdeps/linux/cgroup_v2.dag` and
   `cgroup_v2_memory.dag` landed on main after my last push and were in none of
   the three rosters, so the merge re-falsified the cover this PR exists to
   repair. Both now declare an `extdeps_model_scope` (subjects `linux.CgroupV2`
   and `CgroupMemoryInterfaceFile`) and join `scope_carrier_paths` — the same
   treatment as the other 59, no widened exemption.

3. THE CAPABILITIES SCOPE NOW CITES ONE UPSTREAM (review 56339). An earlier
   revision listed serde.rs beside the Rust derive reference in
   `further_citations`. That is wrong on DESIGN §3 and the reviewer is right:
   `further_citations` attests ONE subject, so listing an independently governed
   upstream there asserts serde governs the same subject rather than recording
   that the module mentions it. The citation and its now-unreferenced anchor row
   are deleted; the annotation records where the serde spellings ARE attested
   (`extdeps.languages.rust.derive_contracts` carries versioned serde trait
   authorities).

   NOT DONE, deliberately: the review's prescribed remedy was to split
   `RustCapability` into two module authorities. Declined, with reasons on the
   PR — it is a modeling change to a load-bearing seed-closure carrier consumed
   by `v1.compiler.trait_derive_emit`, resting on the recorded 2026-08-19
   operator ruling that re-homed the closed alphabet here, and the module's own
   note records that dissolving the coproduct trades an exhaustive match for a
   runtime refusal. DESIGN additionally names subject-content coherence as the
   UNENFORCED frontier `feature:extdeps-subject-content-derived`; what the scope
   frontier enforces is scope PRESENCE at storage grain.

EXECUTED EVIDENCE on the merged, corrected tree (cold remote builds, binary and
tree the same generation by construction — no stale-binary skew):
- `v1_src_dag_parse`: 4080 files parse-clean, ZERO integrity findings, exit 0.
- `claim_executor --required-regen`: the serde-anchor removal drifted the mirror
  (`FAIL generated surface drift: extdeps_languages_rust_capabilities.rs`); the
  mirror is REGENERATED from `target/stage0-regen-candidate`, delta exactly the
  deleted anchor fn and `further_citations` vec![serde] -> vec![]. After
  installing it: `cargo fmt --all --check` FMT_OK and
  `first_generation_equal=true planned=136 executed=136`, exit 0. The drift FAIL
  before the install is that fix's discriminating red.
- Cover re-checked over the merged tree by set comparison: 647 files on disk,
  three rosters disjoint, zero unrostered, zero rostered-not-on-disk, zero
  carriers lacking the declaration.

* Model target producer bindings

* Type instrument refusal causes

* Reject noncanonical target index labels

* Refuse noncanonical target lookup labels

* Home label canonicality in label authority

* Name canonicality for label authority

* Keep label annotation at module grain

* Seal target binding index construction

* wip: target dispatch seam

* fix: single-arm coproducts need a record body

* Delete the claim_executor route atomically, and name the unpinned-tree limit

The old --heads-reading-differential mode is removed in the same change that makes
the instrument addressable, so there is never an interval where two routes to one
producer both work. Its parse-wall figures survive as an explicitly unmodeled host
line: a replacement that silently drops a capability is not a replacement.

The producer executes against an unpinned live working tree and the carriers now
say so. InvocationOutcome stays an OUTCOME rather than a receipt, and both the
model and the host record that no digest field can close the gap -- the tree can go
A -> B -> A while the producer reads a mixed population and both hashes agree.

* Classify the two ClaimDisposition arms main added after this fold was written

PanickedBeforeVerdict and NotAttemptedAfterAbort landed on the floor's disposition
vocabulary after #9323 wrote gunbc.build_target's two wildcard-free policy folds, so
the merge of main into this branch is where they meet and refuse to compile. That is
the fold behaving exactly as its own comment says it must: a new arm fails to compile
rather than being inherited from whichever arm a wildcard named.

Both are UNSATISFIED for the aggregate. NotAttemptedAfterAbort is the one that would
have been damaging to absorb -- a required set treating 'never attempted' as satisfied
reports itself green over a run that stopped early, the empty-observation narrow
arriving as a green.

The Blaze export gives NotAttemptedAfterAbort its exact upstream member,
HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING, rather than the tempting INCOMPLETE that would have collapsed
it into a pile upstream already distinguishes. PanickedBeforeVerdict has no member and
joins FAILED beside RuntimeErroredBeforeVerdict.

* Register the host seam as seed-retained and install the regenerated CLI mirror

Two regen obligations the CLI model change created.

target_invocation_host.rs is a committed src/v1/stage0/src/*.rs the emitter does not
produce, so regen refused it as a mirror that stopped being emitted. It is declared
as a SeedRetainedIntrinsicRegistration with has_pub_mod: false, matching
required_regen_host and declaration_index -- it is wired by #[path] mod inside
cli_run.rs and contributes no pub mod line to the emitted lib.rs. The registration
moves three generated artifacts alongside it, as every prior registration has.

gunbc_cli_dispatch_surface.rs is the emitted mirror of the module that gained the
operand axis, installed from the regen candidate rather than hand-written: the two
new one-arm enums, CliOperandRow, the operands field on every subcommand, the
CliInvokesBoundTargetProducer arm and the test verb row.

* cargo fmt

* Write the HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING argument onto the arm, with its receipt

The export arm for NotAttemptedAfterAbort has now been decided twice, the other way:
gunbc#9343 chose INCOMPLETE on main while this branch chose HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING, and
the two met in a merge. Without the argument written down, the next reader diffing
against that history finds an unexplained divergence and 'fixes' it back.

The receipt is checked rather than recalled: extdeps.bazel.test_status carries
TestStatusHaltedBeforeTesting as wire number 8, BLAZE_HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING, and the
disposition is built from NotAttempted { halted_by }. Same fact, exact member.

Module-scope comment, above the declaration -- the annotation grain rule refuses one
inside the match body.

* The main merge landed #9343's arms BESIDE mine, not onto them

Both ClaimDisposition folds in gunbc.build_target carried two PanickedBeforeVerdict
arms and two NotAttemptedAfterAbort arms after the merge, and the export's second
NotAttemptedAfterAbort carried #9343's INCOMPLETE. Whichever way the compiler resolves
a duplicate, one of the two readings was wrong: first-match-wins reds the witness,
last-wins makes my change dead code and silently keeps the other value.

HOW I MISSED IT, because the check I ran looked sufficient and was not. After the merge
I grepped the diff against main and saw my HALTED_BEFORE_TESTING arm present, and
concluded the resolution was right. Presence is not exclusivity. A conflict git reports
gets resolved carefully; a hunk that applies CLEANLY beside an existing one does not
announce itself, and that is the direction this class always arrives from. Found by
cool-swift-307 reading my head, not by me and not by CI -- no checks had run.

Both folds are now one arm per member: 13 arms against ClaimDisposition's 13 members,
verified by counting rather than by eye, and every other match in the touched modules
swept for the same shape.

bazel_target_model_witness_test moved with the code rather than being left asserting
the value the code no longer produces. Its run/never-ran argument is UNCHANGED and
survives intact -- INCOMPLETE is in the never-ran family, so the split it tests was
never wrong, only vaguer than upstream allows. What the arm records now is which
never-ran member is exact, with the wire number and both PRs named.

* Retain label canonicality refusal causes

* Carry the typed canonicality cause through the invocation route

bright-moth-189 deleted `label_is_canonical` in favour of the typed
`label_canonicality` / `LabelCanonicalityCause` pair, so the registry now
retains WHICH way a label was non-canonical. This completes that chain
through the consumer layer: `InvocationLabelNotCanonical` carries the cause
and `invocation_refusal_rendered` surfaces it.

Dropping the cause here would have made the split real and invisible at the
only surface a caller of `gunbc test` touches -- a typed distinction that
reaches no reader is the same false bit it replaced, one layer out.

The inner `LabelRefusal` is carried but deliberately NOT decomposed here:
that vocabulary belongs to the label authority and has no renderer there
today, so writing one in this module would be a second site deciding what
`DotSegment` says to a human (§3 fork through a rendering rather than a
type). This names the CLASS of repair, which is what distinguishes the arms.

Two witnesses cover it, using a structurally non-canonical label built
through the sole constructor: one that the cause survives into the route's
refusal, one that it reaches the rendered text.

…e as a carrier that actually declares its scope (#9276)

* The live extdeps scope cover was false over 59 files: enroll every one as a carrier that actually declares its scope (#adhoc)

`frontier_cover_of_live_extdeps_tree_holds` executed to FALSE. Measured cause: 59
of the 636 `.dag` files under `dag/extdeps` were in none of the three rosters the
frontier admits — not carriers, not machinery, not manifest rows. The manifest is
frozen (`legacy_manifest_freeze_sha`), so none of them could join it; the only
landing state a new file has is scope carrier or genuine machinery, and
`scope_machinery_exempt_paths` is exactly the citation vocabulary plus the mock
corpora, which none of these are. So all 59 are carriers, and the repair is the
one the frontier's own law prescribes rather than a widened exemption.

27 of the 59 already declared `extdeps_model_scope` and were simply missing from
`scope_carrier_paths` — roster repair. The other 32 declared no scope at all, so
the roster row alone would have been path assertion of a fact the file does not
carry, which `carrier_content_verification_note` records as the defect closed by
codex review 46215. Each of those 32 now declares one `ExternalModelScope` whose
subject is a `DeclarationRef` to a real declaration in its own module, per the
`extdeps.firmware.types` / `extdeps.land_pattern.types` precedent. Three cite the
module's `service` declaration (`posix.Signal`, `systemd.Journalctl`,
`rustc.Check`), which is what those modules actually model.

`extdeps.languages.rust.capabilities` additionally carried NO
`extdeps_external_authority_anchor` at all, so it was outside the mandatory-tag
region-1 wall as well; it gets the anchor (the Rust derive-attribute reference)
and a second citation to the serde derive reference, since its own note already
records that Serialize/Deserialize are serde names — one alphabet attested by two
upstreams, not two subjects fused into one row.

EXECUTED EVIDENCE, both directions:
- `claim_batch --wet ... --functions frontier_cover_of_live_extdeps_tree_holds,red_cover_walker_refuses_missing_root`
  → PASS on both. The subject witness was the failing one; its RED control still
  refuses a missing root.
- `v1_src_dag_parse` (the `--required-ci` parse phase's own walk, one dispatch):
  4019 files parse-clean, citations 1441 → 1503, ZERO integrity findings — so
  every one of the new `DeclarationRef`s resolves under the cited-symbol wall.
- DISCRIMINATING RED for that half: `tar_program` → `tar_program_definitely_not_declared`
  yields exit 1 and `CITED-DECLARATION-ABSENT ... which that module does not declare`,
  restored before commit.

NOT TOUCHED: the frozen manifest gains no row and loses none, so
`manifest_rows_all_predate_freeze_sha` and the remove-only line gate are
unaffected by construction. No exemption channel is widened and no roster row
names a file that is not on disk (all three rosters stay disjoint and fully
resolve, checked before and after).

* Regenerate the stage0 mirror for the module whose scope declaration landed inside the v1 seed closure

CI's build lane refused: `required-regen: FAIL generated surface drift:
extdeps_languages_rust_capabilities.rs`. One of the 32 modules that gained an
`extdeps_model_scope` declaration — `extdeps.languages.rust.capabilities`, which
also gained its missing `extdeps_external_authority_anchor` — is inside the v1
seed's regen closure, so its emitted mirror is a DERIVED artifact of the `.dag`
source and was stale the moment the source changed. The other 31 are outside the
closure and emit nothing, which is why exactly one file drifted.

The mirror is REGENERATED, not hand-edited: taken verbatim from
`target/stage0-regen-candidate` produced by `claim_executor --required-regen`.
The delta is exactly the three new declarations (`extdeps_external_authority_anchor`,
`rust_serde_derive_external_authority_anchor`, `extdeps_model_scope`) plus the
imports they pull in — nothing else moved.

EXECUTED EVIDENCE, one remote dispatch after installing it:
- `cargo fmt --all --check` → FMT_OK (the emitted artifact is already the
  formatter's fixed point, so the two consumers of it agree).
- `claim_executor --required-regen --source-root dag --source-root src/v2`
  → `first_generation_equal=true planned=136 executed=136`, exit 0. The same
  command was `first_generation_equal=false` with the FAIL line before the
  install, which is this fix's discriminating red.

* Merge main, enroll the two extdeps files that landed meanwhile, and cite ONE upstream on the capabilities scope

Three things, all consequences of re-verifying against a main that moved.

1. MAIN MERGED (tip 0aa09c1, the post-#9343 tree). Clean, no conflicts. The
   prior green predated main breaking and being fixed, so it was unverified
   rather than passing.

2. TWO NEW EXTDEPS FILES ENROLLED. `dag/extdeps/linux/cgroup_v2.dag` and
   `cgroup_v2_memory.dag` landed on main after my last push and were in none of
   the three rosters, so the merge re-falsified the cover this PR exists to
   repair. Both now declare an `extdeps_model_scope` (subjects `linux.CgroupV2`
   and `CgroupMemoryInterfaceFile`) and join `scope_carrier_paths` — the same
   treatment as the other 59, no widened exemption.

3. THE CAPABILITIES SCOPE NOW CITES ONE UPSTREAM (review 56339). An earlier
   revision listed serde.rs beside the Rust derive reference in
   `further_citations`. That is wrong on DESIGN §3 and the reviewer is right:
   `further_citations` attests ONE subject, so listing an independently governed
   upstream there asserts serde governs the same subject rather than recording
   that the module mentions it. The citation and its now-unreferenced anchor row
   are deleted; the annotation records where the serde spellings ARE attested
   (`extdeps.languages.rust.derive_contracts` carries versioned serde trait
   authorities).

   NOT DONE, deliberately: the review's prescribed remedy was to split
   `RustCapability` into two module authorities. Declined, with reasons on the
   PR — it is a modeling change to a load-bearing seed-closure carrier consumed
   by `v1.compiler.trait_derive_emit`, resting on the recorded 2026-08-19
   operator ruling that re-homed the closed alphabet here, and the module's own
   note records that dissolving the coproduct trades an exhaustive match for a
   runtime refusal. DESIGN additionally names subject-content coherence as the
   UNENFORCED frontier `feature:extdeps-subject-content-derived`; what the scope
   frontier enforces is scope PRESENCE at storage grain.

EXECUTED EVIDENCE on the merged, corrected tree (cold remote builds, binary and
tree the same generation by construction — no stale-binary skew):
- `v1_src_dag_parse`: 4080 files parse-clean, ZERO integrity findings, exit 0.
- `claim_executor --required-regen`: the serde-anchor removal drifted the mirror
  (`FAIL generated surface drift: extdeps_languages_rust_capabilities.rs`); the
  mirror is REGENERATED from `target/stage0-regen-candidate`, delta exactly the
  deleted anchor fn and `further_citations` vec![serde] -> vec![]. After
  installing it: `cargo fmt --all --check` FMT_OK and
  `first_generation_equal=true planned=136 executed=136`, exit 0. The drift FAIL
  before the install is that fix's discriminating red.
- Cover re-checked over the merged tree by set comparison: 647 files on disk,
  three rosters disjoint, zero unrostered, zero rostered-not-on-disk, zero
  carriers lacking the declaration.

* State plainly what the capabilities scope does NOT cover, as a rung-honesty statement rather than a debt admission

Reviews 56339 and 56347 on this PR rejected OPPOSITE citation shapes on one
declaration: two citations fuse two independently governed upstreams into one
scope; one citation leaves RustSerialize and RustDeserialize unattested by the
subject that claims them. Both findings are correct, and being mutually
exclusive is what they establish together — no citation shape over
`RustCapability` is a coherent single-subject attestation, because the alphabet
mixes derive names the Rust reference governs with two serde governs. The §3
defect is in the CARRIER, not in any scope edit.

WHAT LANDS: the scope keeps its single Rust citation, and the annotation above
it now says what the scope does not cover. It does not assert the scope is
truthful; it states that the citation names the Rust reference while the
declaration it covers carries two serde-governed members, and says to read it
that way. `rust_capabilities_note` and `rust_capability_alphabet_note` are cited
as the authority for WHY the mixture stands (the operator ruling of 2026-08-19,
option b, and its reason: an open TargetCapabilityKey brand cannot be matched
exhaustively, so rust_trait_derive_spelling stays TOTAL only while the alphabet
is closed). Both review ids are carried so the finding is reconstructible.

FRAMING CORRECTED, and it changes the words rather than the change. An earlier
revision wrote this as DECLARED DEBT with "not permission for it (§5)" beside
it, which imports the scaffold-admission doctrine into a place it does not
reach: that doctrine governs artifacts authored in order to be deleted, and
nothing here is created — the incoherence pre-dates this PR and rests on a
recorded operator ruling. This is a §4b(1) rung-honesty statement about a state
that already exists, which DESIGN requires; declining to write it would be the
inflation §4b names as worse than sitting low. So it describes the carrier and
promises nothing about it. Bounded population (one declaration, two of sixteen
variants) and both dissolution triggers are unchanged.

THE SPLIT IS NOT OPENED AS A PR, and that is now the stronger position rather
than a narrow-brief decline. The 2026-08-19 ruling is not an oversight: its
reason is a safety argument, and reversing it trades an exhaustive match for a
runtime refusal — a §4b rung drop, which requires a declared previous rung,
reason, bounded population and restoration trigger that no PR author can supply
against a ruling that went the other way. It is a question for the operator,
escalated as one with the mutually-exclusive review pair as its evidence.

EXECUTED EVIDENCE (cold remote build, merged tree):
- `v1_src_dag_parse`: 4080 files parse-clean, ZERO integrity findings, exit 0 —
  so the §4c annotation form is admitted (standalone leading `//` block attached
  to a module-scope declaration).
- `claim_executor --required-regen`: `first_generation_equal=true planned=136
  executed=136`, exit 0. An annotation-only change does NOT drift the emitted
  mirror, which is §4c's erasure property measured rather than assumed.
