Drew T a852982105 feat(phase-31): wave L — 42 MAIN functions banked, R22 213/213 (main 133 -> 175)
- 44 atlas mass cards -> 44/44 shape-verified, 42 banked (2 dropped: a duplicate SVECTOR
  typedef and a u8[] vs char[] decl conflict). main stubs 955 -> 913. fleet stubs -> 11,589.
- first wave carrying law 1c (match_one masks relocations => verifies SHAPE not SYMBOL
  IDENTITY; re-check every symbol against the target .s relocation lines after MATCH).
- the compile-error shortcut paid for itself: named 'SVECTOR at src/800.c:94' and the exact
  draft in seconds, where the old bisect path burned 28 minutes producing nothing.
- KNOWN NEXT IMPROVEMENT: gate_main should strip duplicate typedefs on substitution the way
  harvest_verify already does — src/800.c carries a local SVECTOR from a previously banked
  function, so any later draft defining its own collides. Mechanical, recurring, cheap.

Drew T cf36cf6f21 feat(phase-31): wave K — 41 MAIN functions banked, R22 213/213 (main 38 -> 79)
- 44 atlas mass cards on main -> 44/44 standalone, 41 banked after 3 in-TU decl-conflict drops.
  gate_main clean rebuild -> 143dbb89 BYTE-IDENTICAL, then full-fleet R22 213/213.
  main stubs 996 -> 955; main REAL 92 -> 133 (incl. propagated/dedup credit).
- took 5 attempts; each exposed a real defect, the last one substantive:
  * conflict checker too coarse (u8 D_x == u8 D_x[])            -> fixed + NC'd
  * my pkill pattern matched its own shell                       -> stop shell process-matching
  * FALSE PASS: sha() read a stale binary when the build failed  -> rm output + check returncode
  * bisect burned clean rebuilds; the compiler names the culprit -> read the error instead
  * THE REAL BUG: func_8002A234 stored to the WRONG GLOBALS (v1->D_80078EE8/0->D_80078EE4,
    target is the reverse). 2 bytes, both at %lo relocation offsets.
- STANDING CAVEAT (write this into the wave prompt): match_one MASKS jal/HI16/LO16, so it
  verifies INSTRUCTION SHAPE, NOT SYMBOL IDENTITY. A draft that calls the wrong function or
  stores to the wrong global passes standalone every time. Only the whole-binary gate sees it
  — same class as the PsyQ symbol-name errors in waves F/G.

Drew T b8dbf6f6a7 feat(phase-31): wave J — 34 MAIN functions banked (main 4 -> 38), R22 213/213
- first full wave against the main EXE: 40 atlas mass cards -> 39/40 standalone (98%), ALL haiku.
  main drafts exactly like an overlay; the only special handling is the gate path.
- gated via the clean-rebuild batch path: substitute -> make extract BINARY=main -> make build
  BINARY=main -> 143dbb89 BYTE-IDENTICAL; then full-fleet R22 213/213. main stubs 1030 -> 996.
- NEW CLASS: in-TU cross-draft declaration conflicts. Batching N drafts into ONE .c means their
  externs must agree with EACH OTHER (D_800A4ED4 s16-vs-u16; func_8001C9D0 void/void*/s32).
  Resolved greedily (keep-in-order, drop incompatible) at a cost of 5 recoverable drafts.
- the recovery lever, proven on func_80037368: adopt the shared header's decl VERBATIM
  (extern u8 D_80076251;) and adapt at the USE site ((&D_80076251)[i]) instead of redeclaring.
- NOTE on my own tooling: my first conflict detector compared parameter NAMES and wrongly
  dropped 2 good drafts ((s32 *_) vs (s32 *)); comparing type signatures only recovered them.
  Second time tonight a refusal check of mine discarded good work (R39).

Drew T 61806c8a31 chore(phase-31): checkpoint — main open (4 banked), wave I 44/44, tooling debt logged; wave J (main) in flight 2026-08-15 03:33:16 -06:00
Drew T 6d09d35b6d feat(phase-31): wave H — 34 banked (1 gate group); cookbook §175 caller-saved pin hazard
- wave H: 40 atlas mass cards on ov_SC02_005 -> 38/40 standalone (95%), 34 banked, ONE gate
  group. R22 213/213. stubs 11,788 -> 11,751. fleet 95.4%.
- §175 (NEW): a register pin to a CALLER-SAVED reg is not a scheduling hint, it changes program
  meaning. func_80182EB0: value written before a jal and read after it; the $2 pin let gcc treat
  the pre-call store as dead across the call and SILENTLY DELETE addiu v0,zero,-1 (49 vs 50 ins),
  post-call read = garbage. Fix was to DROP the pin and kill the cross-call live range in C.
  Rule: never pin a caller-saved reg to a value whose live range crosses a jal — use a
  callee-saved $s0-$s7 (safe by ABI, the §17 lever) or restructure. A one-instruction count
  mismatch on a caller-saved-pinned draft is this bug until proven otherwise.
- 2 NEARs enqueued with full diagnoses (prologue $ra-save scheduling; S3 chain-priority).

Drew T efd0dd4ee1 feat(phase-31): wave G — 36/36 drafted, 32 banked, fleet 95.4%; §174 law 1b (PsyQ symbol names)
- wave G: 36 atlas mass cards on ov_SC03_006 -> 36/36 standalone (100%, independently
  re-verified), 32 banked of 33 gated, ONE gate group. R22 213/213. stubs -> 11,788.
- two TU-packed waves now confirm the shape: ~1 rebuild per wave instead of 23.
- law 1b added to the wave prompt: agents reconstruct CODE at 91-100% but INVENT PsyQ symbol
  names (S80131E00->Square0, Blk20_...->RotMatrixY, SRM_...->RotTransSV). Dangerous because
  match_one MASKS relocations -> a wrong callee name still reports MATCH; only the
  whole-binary gate + symbol audit catch it, after a wasted rebuild.
- 3 wave-G drafts held by that audit (would previously have crashed it pre-commit:2330).

Drew T ab649794ca feat(phase-31): wave F — 50 banked from ONE gate group; the TU-packed mass lane is the campaign shape
- wave F: 60 atlas 'mass' cards (fresh crack, NO seed body) -> 55/60 standalone pre-repair
  (59/60 post-repair), 50 BANKED of 53 gated, in a SINGLE gate group. R22 213/213.
- the throughput thesis is confirmed: wave D banked 45 across 23 whole-binary rebuilds;
  wave F banked 50 across 1. gate cost scales with (binary,TU) groups, not drafts.
- the fresh-crack lane converts like the seeded lanes (~91%) => the atlas's ~7k draftable
  candidates are all reachable, not just those resembling a prior match.
- grinder: 0 banked across 8 seeds / 11 ILS cycles (band exhausted); re-exposed the Phase-22
  split-file blindness (no .s under md_MAIN_027).
- KNOWN DEFECT logged: aprop_symfix crashes on non-hex symbols (int('Square0',16)) — one
  PsyQ-named callee aborts the whole audit; needs 1:1-rename handling + per-pair isolation.
- stubs 11,876 -> 11,826

Drew T 1a23d90b31 chore(phase-31): R22 213/213 after wave D; wave F launched (first TU-packed wave, 60 drafts/1 gate group) 2026-08-15 00:35:03 -06:00
Drew T dde7a35ca3 feat(phase-31): wave D banked 45/48 + main link-blocker diagnosed; selector packs by gate group
- wave D (48 adapt cards): 47/48 standalone, 45 BANKED across two gates (40 + 5 late-repair).
  Operational lesson: build the gate slate AFTER the repair stage lands — the first slate was
  built early and 5 rescued drafts needed a second gate.
- wave C (35: 11 tell + 24 weak): 32 banked, 91% gate. Weak lane proven 24/24 on haiku.
- MAIN BLOCKER DIAGNOSED (the night's most valuable finding): main drafts are byte-correct yet
  gate 0/4. Byte-diff of the built EXE = exactly 2 bytes in 413,696, NOT in the drafted fn: a
  jal at 0x80060E74 retargets func_80061FA8 (game code, 800c2.o) -> firstfile (PsyQ libapi
  A66.o). Adding one C fn perturbs symbol resolution between game code and the LINKED PsyQ
  archives. main is an INTEGRATION wall, not a matching wall -> its own lane; excluded from
  build_wave_atlas by default.
- build_wave_atlas.py now packs by (binary, TU) — the REAL gate-group key, since each group is
  one whole-binary rebuild (wave D: 42 drafts / 23 groups = the throughput ceiling).
- 3 NEARs enqueued as grinder fuel incl. func_80183578 at close=1 DELAY-SLOT (§60a precedent).

Drew T 540d2cefaa feat(phase-31): wave C banked 32 (R22 213/213) + tools/build_wave.py; 3 instrument defects fixed
- wave C: 35 cards (11 tell + 24 weak) -> 35/35 standalone (re-verified independently, R14)
  -> 32 banked / 3 near, 91% gate, 0 symbol failures (Law 4 prevention worked)
- weak lane proven for the first time: 24/24 on haiku; 890 candidates remain
- reach measured: 32 exemplars, 8 with sharers, x2 each => ~1.25x effective (the x134
  era ended in P25/29/30) -> throughput, not leverage, is now the lever
- tools/build_wave.py (pool=adapt|weak, corpus-derived open-stub filter, R35 gate guard)
- 3 self-inflicted instrument defects found+fixed+NC'd (P9, recorded not buried):
  pgrep self-match via shell=True; corpus.stubs() is addr->Stub not names (nearly
  declared both card pools spent); a wave fired on hand-typed placeholder cards (stopped)
- STRATEGIC: card lanes are ~0.23% of open ins/wave; the Atlas's head-crack bucket is
  1,276 groups / 186k ins with high-reach groups up to 265 instances -> retarget waves
  at atlas groups next

Drew T 6afca3d47e feat(phase-31): wave-C probe — bank func_80181724 + §174 Law 4 (the DEF-side prototype is a wave-prompt law)
- probe 3 tell-cards: 1 MATCH, 2 NEAR (both genuine compiler residuals -> grinder)
- func_80181724 gated 0/1 at standalone MATCH: the TU already declared it (s32,s32) while
  the matching def wanted s16 -> conflicting prototype. Canonical sig + cast-at-use
  ((s16)a0) = identical 13 bytes, re-gated 1/1
- cookbook §174 Law 4 + measured lane economics (tell ~100k tok/card @33% vs adapt
  64-88k/bank @95% gate) + 'a standalone MATCH that gates 0 is a declaration fact'
- 2 NEARs enqueued as permuter fuel (func_8017DAEC count-exact 113=113, role swap)

Drew T e9e3db88de chore(phase-31): SESSION CHECKPOINT — campaign mid-flight; 65 banked this session; wave-B 35/37 (95%); resume steps + fuel inventory 2026-08-14 22:03:10 -06:00
Drew T 2655585c45 feat(phase-31 T10 wave-A): adapt lane opens — 12 banked +1 prop (75% draft / 67% gate, ~117k tok/bank); ledger + lessons 2026-08-14 21:12:28 -06:00
Drew T 1a8cda6c54 feat(phase-31 T6): PLUMBING campaign — +9 banked (64% probe); recipe + 3 laws (§173)
- tools/plumbing_groups.py: derives the honest still-open pool from the classified
  ledgers (R38) — '1,217 PLUMBING' collapsed to 237 (SELF 109 / CALLEE 48 / OTHER
  48 / DATA 32)
- recover_integration: PER-GROUP ISOLATION (git-checkout binary TUs between groups
  — one TU-stage edit was poisoning every other group's whole-binary gate with a
  phantom shared error; per-group banked_from_source capture) + new stages
  'macro-externs' (§121 draft-tier, via family_sweep.macro_def_sig_map, R33) and
  'tu-scope' (§103 STU binary-tier, the sweep-only lever)
- the probe (ov_SC03_107): raw 0/14 -> root-caused (poisoning + stale seed
  symbols; rtu_match MATCHes them — blind to reloc names, R34) -> symfix-first
  -> 9/14 BANKED (64%)
- sweep finding (Law 3): the no-draft majority (ov_SC02_037 44/44, most of
  ov_MAIN_012) had verdicts from transient sweep remaps never persisted — family-
  lane fuel, not recovery fuel; the stored-draft class is consumed
- cookbook §173 (symfix-first / per-group isolation / verdicts-without-drafts);
  index 518 green; R22 clean fleet 213/213; phase total 17 banked @ 0 agent tokens
2026-08-14 19:42:55 -06:00
Drew T 2a0ac5ab8d feat(phase-31 T1): integration quick-bank sweep — 8 banked, 0 agent tokens; symfix STALE-DELTA
- aprop_symfix: STALE-DELTA class — the S50 1:1 stale-seed-symbol rule generalized
  to n:n (sorted-by-address zip, ONE uniform target-draft delta required; refuses
  count mismatch / non-addressed names / disagreeing deltas). R39 negative controls
  (synthetic + S50-snapshot equality over still-stub rows, zero false positives);
  first live batch 4 rebased -> 4/4 BANKED (func_8016BCC0, func_8017F1C8,
  func_80186BD8, func_80186BF8). The delta test refused func_80186C1C whose deltas
  differ by 4 — a hand-check had wrongly accepted it. cookbook §171-D
- recover_integration demacroize (SELF-decl class): 4/7 banked (func_80139BE0,
  func_8014ED28, func_80161D88, func_801659DC)
- R38-first partition of the MATCH-108 pile: 75 still-stub = 13 never-gated +
  62 verdictted (31 PLUMBING = 7 SELF + 15 CALLEE->T6 + 3 UNDEF-DATA + 6 OTHER;
  14 CC1->T6; 8 md CARVE-REFUSED->ledger; 1 DIFF); immfix pile fully consumed
- stored-draft re-gates 0/23 (the ~8% A10 law held); 9 STALE->clean world-motion
  drafts identified (siblings' banks defined their missing symbols)
- gate_lane: propagate-commit tag derives from GATE_PHASE (was hardcoded)
- R22 clean fleet: extract-all 212/212 + main; check-all 213/213 BYTE-IDENTICAL
2026-08-14 17:40:38 -06:00
Drew T d6ade08f3a feat(phase-31 T0): pivot log + instrument freshness + hygiene
- decision-log: the P31 re-charter entry (organize-before-grind; R37/R38/R39
  ratified at gate-1) per R31
- harvest_verify.py: import guard — a bare import now RAISES loud instead of
  running a full gate (CLI unchanged, verified both directions)
- sig-resident: bootstrap boundary artifacts fixed (fused +0 data word with
  func_800CEDFC; func_800D33E0 dropped past a glued tail) -> ELF-seeded per the
  S45 pattern, exactly 145 fns; true denominator confirmed 145 (progress was
  right); audit-corpus 0 PHANTOM + 0 TRUNCATED; all three oracles agree
- family maps regenerated at HEAD commit:2161: 11,025 open non-main members
  reconciles EXACTLY with 12,059 - main 1,034 (102 stale phantoms cleared);
  adapt cards 704, aprop cards 204 (full emission)
- main fuel-gap finding: 2,001/2,002 main stubs already have cached Ghidra-C
  (only func_80049600 missing) — the roadmap '0/2,096' note was stale
- tools-health OK (dedup 2,063/0; C1 254,521/254,521; audit-digest green)

Drew T 1c631ff39f feat(phase-30 S50-Max): the gcc-read audit — +52 banked, R22 213/213 (S50 FINAL v2 checkpoint)
The §172a/§172b tells + repaired instruments swept over all 892 open near-misses:
- 33/95 stored drafts re-verified MATCH and banked through the whole-binary gate
  (aprop_symfix caught 40/108 carrying stale seed symbols before gating — §171 at scale)
- 19/20 hand/mech fixes banked: four pure lhu<->lh s16 flips; the lhu+sltiu->lh+slti
  shared-global quadruplet (D_80126B5E/B66/CB0, D_80126CB0 are s16 FLEET-WIDE); one xor-eq
  rewrite; 11 per-location literal swaps (mask/threshold constants from sibling binaries)
- 1 refusal (func_8017EE78) stays as redraft fuel
Stubs 12,111 -> 12,059. Fleet 95.3% instr / 90.0% distinct / 96.68% fn-count.
Veins mapped for next waves: ~400 LEN+N drafts, 13 ambiguous-symbol, 7 multi-literal.
Audit ledger: .run/c294/audit_results.json (classifier derives from match_one's own sig).

Drew T e7d61e823d feat(phase-30 S50): bank the top-reach families 0x801F1CD8 (41/41) and 0x8017D290 (9/9)
Three carries a mechanical seed-body draft needs beyond the symbol rebase (cookbook §171b),
each found from one compiler verdict:

- DATA DEFINED INSIDE THE MEMBER'S OWN .s must be DEFINED, not externed — it vanishes with
  the stub it lives in. Re-initialised with THIS member's bytes (the 0x801F1CD8 family carries
  4 distinct 8-byte patterns across 42 members). Flat-byte-list initializers only; refuse the
  rest rather than mis-initialise something the gate would reject unexplainably.
- SHARED TYPES the destination cannot see: MATRIX/SVECTOR live in engine_types.h, which md_*
  TUs never include. `parse error before 'm1'` was the only thing between 4 of 9 members and a
  bank. Carried brace-matched, vetoed by the destination.
- A POSITIONAL LITERAL MAP where imm_map_tier1 gives up: it refuses a value that also appears
  at a non-differing slot (0x10 collides with the struct offsets), but the 8 differing slots
  map 1:1 onto the C's call sites in order. Asserted ([C literals] == [seed slot values])
  before substituting — that assert is the whole safety argument. 10/10 refused -> 9/9 banked.

- ROOT-CAUSE FIX: body_text matched `extern void func_X(...);` at column 0 and returned the
  NEXT function's body — silently shipping wrong seed bodies, visible only as "no definition
  after rename" skips. A definition is now confirmed by a `{` with no `;` before it.

R22 clean rebuild: check-all 213 passed, 0 failed of 213. Stubs 12,161 -> 12,111.
Fleet 95.3% instr / 90.0% distinct / 96.66% fn-count.
2026-08-14 11:23:26 -06:00
Drew T a94973c5b8 chore(phase-30 S50): refresh the fleet digest after the S50 banks (tools-health green) 2026-08-14 08:28:52 -06:00
Drew T e903713b71 feat(phase-30 S50): the mechanical A-prop draft — 256 members banked with no agent in the loop
Final S50 state: 307 instances banked, stubs 12,468 -> 12,161, fleet 95.3% instr / 90.0%
distinct / 96.65% fn-count. R22 clean rebuild 4x, check-all 213/213 every time.

- tools/aprop_autodraft.py + tools/draft_prechecks.py: seed body + symbol_map + a MINIMAL
  synthesized preamble. The seed's decl layer never travels — that layer is family_sweep's
  dominant failure (331 of 458 S49 verdicts). 256 banked at zero agent tokens, against the
  ~20M the same work would have cost as a wave.
- Macro seeds (567 of 1196 members, all 3737 de-macroize) take the DEFINITION only; the block
  stays the decl source. Pasting it whole measured 28% vs inline's 68% — func_8016AB6C's macro
  is 1,891 lines of which 108 are the function.
- IMM is a second engine, not a wall: T2a's imm_map_tier1 resolves a per-location LITERAL like
  symbol_map resolves a per-location SYMBOL. 131 of 275 IMM members resolve.
- draft_prechecks negative-controlled against ALL 205 banked drafts: zero false positives,
  catches 39 of 67 known failures. That control found two bugs in the checks themselves —
  C89 `f()` declares UNSPECIFIED parameters (not zero), and a member's own definition read as
  a call to itself. Conservative by design: a pre-check that discards good drafts is worse
  than one that lets a few builds fail.
- The A-prop pool is now priced exactly: PURE 437/37,376 ins, IMM 275/8,849, STRUCT 238/4,259.
- Cookbook §171a; SETUP rows; CURRENT_PHASE S50 FINAL checkpoint.
2026-08-14 07:42:19 -06:00
Drew T 895bb6a239 feat(phase-30 S50): clear the func_801EDC18 carry blocker — 4/4 banked, and re-priced
- The blocker was carried as "one missing file-scope extern gates 83 PURE members". Both
  halves were wrong (R14): corpus.stubs says 4 open members, and D_801ED98C is a DEFINED
  const Blk8 whose rodata lives inside the member's own nonmatchings .s — replacing the stub
  deletes the data with it. gather_externs can carry an extern DECL, never a DEFINITION,
  which is why it reported "no file-scope decl" for a symbol md_SC05_023 defines on line 114.
- Fix: paste typedef + const definition + body per sibling (data bytes verified identical
  across md_SC05_024/025/028/029). 4/4 banked.
- aprop_symfix: new `local-only` class — draft-DEFINED identifiers that merely carry a
  vram-looking suffix (Blk8_…, S8_…, L_call_…) are not stale symbols. Measured: that is every
  non-clean case in the whole wave-7a/7b stored-draft residue, which holds ZERO stale-symbol
  recoveries (a clean negative result — the defect was A-prop-specific).
- cookbook index regenerated (tools-health fails closed on a stale index — it caught §171).
- R22 clean rebuild: check-all 213 passed, 0 failed of 213. Stubs 12,445 -> 12,441.
2026-08-14 00:23:32 -06:00
Drew T 2f7e06564b feat(phase-30 S50): the stale seed symbol — A-prop's 57% was ours, not the lane's (§171)
- REFUTES §170's open hypothesis (batched cards concentrate members into one TU ⇒ §169
  collision): 5-draft groups banked 5/5; 11 of 35 unbanked drafts were already one-per-TU;
  and the two "concentrated" groups banked 12/12 and 10/10 once the real defect was fixed.
- The cause: a per-location data symbol carried out of the seed body unrebased. match_one
  compares instruction ENCODINGS and is blind to a relocation's target NAME, so it scores
  MATCH standalone and dies at link in the host TU. 24 of 24 concentrated failures, all 1:1
  rewritable at one constant vram delta (0x4128).
- tools/aprop_symfix.py: audit + --fix, emits a gate_lane-shaped slate; deterministic and
  build-free, so it runs BEFORE the gate. The R34 second oracle for the class match_one
  cannot see.
- family_cousins.py --aprop-cards: members now carry sym_map, the explicit {seed -> member}
  renames, read from the seed's C BODY (a matched seed has no .s of its own) vs the member's
  .s. Two case-mismatch defects fixed while wiring it (sig lowercase vs splat uppercase).
- 23/24 banked. Stubs 12,468 -> 12,445. Fleet 95.2% instr / 89.9% distinct / 96.57% fn.
  R22 clean rebuild: check-all 213 passed, 0 failed of 213. dedup 2,043/0.
- A-prop's true conversion is 87% (79/91); the 320 batched members are unblocked.
- Cookbook §171 + §170 struck in place; SETUP row; decision-log (R31).
2026-08-13 23:41:36 -06:00
Drew T bcc3130eb4 feat(phase-30 S49): the A-prop word-diff card + aprop_wave — 56 banked from the >=16 head (§170)
- NEW family_cousins.py --aprop-cards + tools/wave/aprop_wave.js: lane A (1,700 open fns /
  76,419 ins) had NO card type — cousin diffs are empty for h_seq-identical members, so the card
  is a positional WORD diff vs the matched sibling, grouped BY FAMILY (one agent, N drafts).
  Head cards: 13 families / 433 members, median TWO differing words each.

- thresholds relaxed to <=6 blocks/<=16 tokens UNION edit-fraction <=0.20: cards 518 -> 721,
  MIXED 310 -> 50 skeletons; the 753-ins func_8017BEBC (0.987 sim) became reachable.
- 59 cards -> 48 agent-MATCH (81%) -> 44 BANKED (92% MATCH->bank, 75% end-to-end), 6.9M tok.
- FINDING (the actionable one): 7b's bank rate crushed 7a's because it SPREAD 48 drafts over 35
  destination TUs; 7a's failures were per-TU declaration collisions between sibling drafts.
  Cookbook §169 updated with the spread law.

- R14 CORRECTION: a banked cousin usually does NOT propagate (2 of 8; cousins are byte-variant).
  The card 'reach' column is cousin fuel, not dedup copies — priced wrong in my earlier framing.
- FINDING: the 9 gate failures are per-TU INTEGRATION (standalone-MATCH, host-TU-rejected),
  clustered 5+2 in two binaries — the reconcile-ladder class, not codegen.
- TWO INCIDENTS (mine): an outer timeout tighter than gate_stage's own scaled timeout killed a
  healthy 5-bank group mid-write AND orphaned its dedup_propagate child, which kept rewriting
  src/ through a git checkout. Killed, inspected, reverted; the same 5 drafts banked 5/5 untimed.
  Law: never wrap a self-timing tool in a tighter cap; kill process GROUPS, not pids.

Bank rate now measured four times: 67% -> 79% -> 69% -> 68%. Prior-notes
seeding 10/12 (was 7/9). func_8017C294 — the x16 family, largest item on the
board — is NEAR at 2 ins after three seeded attempts (18 -> 11 -> 2).

Also records the 4th comment-blindness defect and its blast radius (one draft
comment refused a binary's stub oracle, failed 5 later binaries, and left
drafts spliced in src/ so 17 re-gates read a poisoned tree as 0/17), and that
the wave harness now lives in tools/wave/ with its contracts written down.

Bank rate measured three times: 67% -> 79% -> 69%. The dip is the cost curve
(wave 3's tier was 29 Opus-band / 14 jr vs wave 2's 8 / 5, median reach x6 ->
x3-4), not a regression.

Two levers proved out and belong in every future wave: the hardened harness
contract (0 drafts lost vs 21) and prior-notes seeding (7 of 9 previously
failed targets converted, incl. both long-standing NEARs and all three wave-2
gate misses). NEAR is a resumable state, not a write-off.

Drew T 35d7b11d03 chore(phase-30 S48): checkpoint — 233 banked (13,345 -> 13,112), R22 213/213
Session close state. Three parts: stage 0b (91, zero decompilation), wave 1
(26), wave 2 (116). Fleet 94.4% -> 94.7% instr, 88.3% -> 88.9% distinct,
13,345 -> 13,112 stubs. R22 clean-fleet run 5x, 213/213 every time.

The campaign now has a MEASURED rate, twice: 67% (wave 1, all-Opus) then 79%
(wave 2, 20 of 28 Sonnet) of cracks survive the whole-binary gate. The Sonnet
band beating the all-Opus wave is the session's most useful economic finding
and sets wave 3's routing.

Resume order changed on evidence, twice over:
- harden the wave harness FIRST (per-agent dirs, sha1-last verifier, and a
  tools/recover_drafts.py built from the transcript-replay method that
  recovered 21/21 today);
- then wave 3, sized on 79%, not on the reach-15 prior.

Error ledger grew to 6. The two that matter: I wrote off 21 verified cracks as
lost when the run transcripts held every one of them, and my first two
recovery passes both failed by reading a single tool record instead of
replaying the file's mutation history.

instances). Fleet 94.6% instr / 88.8% distinct / 96.36% fn-count.

Resume order changed on measured evidence: FIX THE md_ MODULE LANE FIRST.
16 of the wave's 42 member slots were unreachable for tooling reasons, not
matching reasons — 12 on a carve that assumes raw data lives in
<binary>/data/*.data.s (modules do not), 4 on an uncarried extern
(`D_8011511A' undeclared). Both are named with verbatim errors; probe one of
each before pricing (R37). Precedent: 0b's three repairs banked 91 for ~0
agent tokens; the wave spent 3.36M for 26.

Also recorded: the frontier re-derivation (1,955 zero-crack families /
330,622 templatable ins), the tier-ordering correction (ins-per-crack is flat
across x5-x8, so rank by templatable weight, not by tier), and the §162
harvest with its two in-place cookbook corrections.

Drew T fd80bd7007 feat(phase-30 S47-0a.1): the symbol-KIND fix banks 205 members; the residue crosses over to DIFF
Stage 0a's first defect, and the largest single zero-token bank of the session.

family_remap's kind test asked ONE question — is this address a function in the SIBLING'S OWN sig?
— and defaulted to `D_` on "no". But a body calls outside its image constantly: an overlay calls
resident helpers, an md_* module calls the overlay-range engine. Those addresses are absent from
the sibling's sig, so the test fell through and emitted a DATA NAME FOR A FUNCTION —
`D_800183E0`, `D_800D1EBC`, `D_80171A1C`. None exist anywhere in src/ or config/symbols.us.txt,
while `func_80171A1C` alone has 1,061 references. Measured: 611 member-rows across 45 symbols,
the largest named residue class. "Not in MY sig" means "not mine", not "is data".

Fix — three oracles, strongest first, never a blanket fallback:
 1. the sibling's own sig (authoritative for its image; this is what preserves the Phase-29 T82
    case where a slot is a function in the exemplar and DATA in the member — unioning every sig
    would have re-broken the 251 members T82 fixed),
 2. the always-linked images via extern_fn_addrs() — resident + main, 2,146 addresses whose ranges
    cannot collide with an overlay's,
 3. the exemplar reached it by `jal` — a call target is a function BY DEFINITION, which covers an
    external address neither sig claims (0x80171A1C from an md_* module, 112 rows).
Only a non-call reloc no oracle claims still falls to `D_`.

Result: BANKED 205 member-matches, failures 670 -> 575, derived net = report = 205.
R22 clean-fleet 213 passed / 0 failed of 213.
Fleet 94.4% instr / 88.3% distinct / 96.27 -> 96.33% fn-count; stubs 13,563 -> 13,345.

THE RESIDUE HAS CROSSED OVER: DIFF is now the LARGEST class at 143 of 575 — real byte divergence
outranks plumbing for the first time this session (undefined-ref 611 -> ~8, PLUMBING-other
231 -> 81). The ~5:1 plumbing:DIFF ratio that justified "tooling beats volume" has inverted in this
queue, exactly as the frontier analysis predicted: the declaration-axis vein was one-time.
The new head class is `conflicting types for func_80175414` (27) — the same addresses this fix
started naming correctly, now surfacing the NEXT layer (the symbol resolves; its declared signature
disagrees). That is the conform axis, not the remap axis.

Note for anyone auditing this class: rtu_match MASKS HI16/LO16, so a wrong %hi/%lo symbol still
reports MATCH (the T82 comment records `MATCH (10 ins)` on a member the fleet gate refused). This
defect is invisible to the per-function tool by construction — only the whole-binary gate sees it.

Drew T d3f3d8ba22 feat(phase-30 S47-W1b/G2): 3 retries banked, 2 new rules; main signed for the first time
W1b — the 3 targets whose agents died on API rate limiting, retried with cookbook §160 in the
prompt: func_801EFBF4 (reach 12), func_801EFDC8 (12), func_8018CC40 (10, jr). 3/3 confirmed by an
independent verifier, all banked, R22 clean-fleet 213 passed / 0 failed of 213.

func_8018CC40 failed the first gate with `too many arguments to function func_80178970` — which its
own crack agent had PREDICTED in its report, naming the §17a-1 remedy. Dropped the draft's
empty-paren externs and cast 6 call sites instead; banked. Read the agent's integration notes
before diagnosing a gate failure — it has already seen the TU.

Cookbook §161a-c (index 469 sections):
 §161a case 0: break; is LOAD-BEARING when a jump table is indexed from zero. The natural
   case 1..5 makes gcc-2.7.2 pick minval=1, emit `addiu $v1,-1`, and shift every table index —
   58 of 77 mismatched on a byte-perfect body. Tell: the table's FIRST entry points at the
   function's own end address. Family-wide (10 members).
 §161b aliasing a parameter into a local can force a SECOND callee-saved register (+8 frame,
   +3 ins) even when uses are mutually exclusive. Suspect it before reaching for register pins.
 §161c loose-prototype engine helpers: don't fight the TU's (void) decl, cast at the call site.

G2 — THE MAIN EXPERIMENT. family_hseq excludes main as "structurally barren — zero h_exact
overlap". True and irrelevant: an h_exact claim guarding an h_seq tool. There is not even a
sig-main target — main had never been signed for this pipeline. Signed it (2,002 fns, seeded from
splat boundaries via corpus.stubs rather than --bootstrap, which glues functions around jtbl
dispatch and would have corrupted the hashes under test).

Result: main is ~85% singleton work, not 100%.
  internal h_seq families (>=2):  207 families / 748 fns / 11,537 ins (13.7%)
  shapes shared with the fleet:   161 fns / 1,346 ins (1.6%)
  genuine x1 remainder:           ~71,034 ins (84.6%)
IMMEDIATELY ACTIONABLE: 44 classes / 151 main functions / 1,239 ins already have a matched exemplar
in the fleet — free propagation, invisible only because main is not in the map.
Long-term: 748 of main's 2,002 functions (37%) are templatable once one exemplar per family is
cracked, which refutes "2,002 independent cracks" as the planning assumption for the 79k-ins tail.

OPEN, deliberately not done unilaterally: adding a sig-main target and dropping main's exclusion
from family_hseq.load() changes a fleet-shared oracle every targeting tool reads. Needs Drew's call.

Drew T d806766eef feat(phase-30 S47-W1c): crack the reach-57 exemplar; fix the instrument that called it a wall
func_801EDC18 (md_SC05_023) is the largest multiplier remaining — 57 members. The wave agent
abandoned it at "closeness 6" with class SIZE-MISMATCH [redraft]. It was two lines from correct.

THE CODE (cookbook §160a): the target copies 8 bytes with lwl/lwr + swl/swr — gcc-2.7.2's
emit_block_move for a type with ALIGNMENT 1. The draft used a u32 copy (aligned lw/sw), which is
wrong by construction. `typedef struct { char c[8]; } Blk8; buffer = D_801ED98C;` reproduces it.
Six spellings were tried in parallel; two independent agents converged on the same one.

THE INSTRUMENT (§160b) — this is the part worth more than the function. The target .s bundles a
leading `.section .rodata` block (D_801ED98C as two .word) ahead of .text. Those lines carry the
same `/* off vaddr HEX */` shape as instructions, so masked_diff.insns_from_s counted them as TARGET
instructions, while insns_from_object (objdump -j .text) can never emit them. A byte-perfect draft
therefore read `mine=26, target=28, 26 mismatched` — every position shifted by a constant +2 — and
got classified as needing a redraft. 116 of 12,583 .s files in the corpus have this shape, one at
-29 instructions. Every one of them would report a false wall to any agent that tried it.
Fixed: insns_from_s tracks .section and counts only .text. Full-corpus control: 12,467 unchanged,
116 corrected, 0 regressions. Same artifact class as §129a (post-carve jtbl inflation).

THE OWNERSHIP LAW (§160c) — my own error, corrected by the gate. Four sites declare
`extern short D_801ED98C;` and nothing in src/ defines it, so I shipped an extern-only draft. The
gate refuted it: `undefined reference`. The .s block the draft REPLACED was the definition. The
variant emitting `const Blk8 D_801ED98C = {{...}}` banks clean. Never infer ownership from externs.

R22 clean-fleet: check-all 213 passed / 0 failed of 213.

ALSO BANKED — the wave's idiom harvest, which had been sitting unwritten in workflow transcripts
(R16/R30 debt): §160d the ASYMMETRIC INDEX RELOAD (a just-stored narrow field read twice emits
reuse-then-reload; the C is deliberately asymmetric), §160e a stack-layout scheduling rule now
byte-proven on a SECOND independent function (promoting it from coincidence to rule), §160f the
address-only global store via array decl, §160g sibling-search keyed on the CALLEE SET as step 0 of
every wave prompt (one grep turned a 126-instruction crack into a copy-edit).
Cookbook index regenerated: 468 sections.

Drew T ff11fc556c feat(phase-30 S47-W1s): the reach-15 wave templates to 140 members (81% conversion)
The 10 exemplars from W1 flipped modal -> matched in the regenerated map, so family_sweep could
template them. 9 non-jr families swept: BANKED 140 member-matches / 32 failed across 50 overlays.
Derived net = report = 140 (no untracked carve files this time, so the two counts agree).
R22 clean-fleet: check-all 213 passed / 0 failed of 213.

Fleet 94.3 -> 94.4% instr / 88.2 -> 88.3% distinct / 96.22 -> 96.27% fn-count; stubs 13,713 -> 13,563.

WAVE ONE, FULLY ACCOUNTED: 10 agent cracks + 140 templated members = 150 functions for 1.36M
tokens (~9k tokens/function). Still owed from this wave: 73 member-slots in 2 NEAR families,
34 in 3 rate-limited targets, 9 in the jr family (routes to jtbl_family_bank, §53).

TWO MEASUREMENTS THAT CORRECT MY OWN FORECASTS (R14):
 1. Conversion was 81%, not the 58% I projected from this morning's propagation run. Today's
    plumbing fixes (alias-drop, cpp-derived TU type map, group-level draft-vs-draft aliasing) are
    paying off in a population they were not tuned for.
 2. The effective multiplier was 15x, not the 2-3.5x I predicted. That estimate used the MEAN
    family size across the whole zero-crack pool (3.55); this wave deliberately targeted the TOP of
    the reach distribution, where families run 10-28 members. Ordering waves by reach is what
    produced the difference — the mean was the wrong statistic for a wave that selects on the tail.

The regen step is load-bearing and now byte-proven twice: a fresh crack reads as `modal` until sigs
+ family_hseq are rebuilt, and family_sweep templates only from `matched`. Skipping it sweeps a
stale map and the multiplier evaporates (the Phase-26 finding, whose surviving qualifier is that
remap works BEHIND a fresh crack).

Drew T dbed0942b1 feat(phase-30 S47-A4): cdFileLocTable typedef alias banks 138 members; R22 213/213
The one-line fix committed ahead of this run (CdFileLoc_80128C98 aliasing CdFileLoc) cleared the
largest remaining propagation-sweep class. Re-sweep: 138 member-matches banked, failures 875 -> 737,
`conflicting types for cdFileLocTable` gone entirely (136 -> 0).

Derived net (138 INCLUDE_ASM removed, 0 re-added) equals the report's 138 — they agree.
R22 clean-fleet: check-all 213 passed / 0 failed of 213.
Fleet 94.2 -> 94.3% instr / 87.9 -> 88.1% distinct / 96.15 -> 96.21% fn-count; stubs 13,780.

Residue reclassified — no symbol dominates any more: 227 PLUMBING-other, 125 DIFF (real byte
divergence, 17%), 93 CC1-FAIL(no-diagnostic), 26 memcpy, then a tail of small data-symbol
conflicts (D_80114F24 12, D_800AE620 11, D_800183E0 9, D_80126B58 6, D_80078EB4 6).

CC1-FAIL rose 77 -> 93 and that is NOT a regression: members that previously died earlier on the
cdFileLocTable conflict now reach a different compile error. Those 93 are hard gcc errors whose
text the sweep's classifier discards because it greps for `error:`, which gcc-2.7.2 never emits on
hard errors. That classifier is now the highest-value instrument fix left — three times today a
no-diagnostic verdict concealed something cheap.
2026-08-10 20:59:06 -06:00
Drew T efec1b9b71 fix(phase-30 S47-A1): asm-label aliases must never be dropped by §8d; +148 members
scope_data_externs §8d drops the draft's decl of any symbol the TU already declares at file scope.
It keys on the SYMBOL, but a §37 asm-label ALIAS binds a DIFFERENT C identifier to that symbol:
the TU declares `D_801851BC`, it does NOT declare `tbl_D_80187044`. Dropping the alias left the
body referencing an undeclared name, which cc1 reports with no `error:` prefix — so the sweep
classified all 132 siblings as CC1-FAIL(no-diagnostic), i.e. as a codegen wall.

The bitter part: the alias exists PRECISELY BECAUSE the TU declares that symbol with a conflicting
type (a `void (*[])(void)` dispatch table vs this function's 20-byte-stride view). The drop rule
fired on exactly the declarations written to survive it. Why 1 of 2 died was fully determined:
tbl_D_80187048's symbol is not in the TU, so it demoted normally.

Fix: is_asm_alias() — an alias is demoted into the body, never dropped (the identifiers differ, so
it cannot collide with the TU's decl). Control-tested 6 ways incl. self-labels and plain externs.

Measured: func_80132018 3/135 -> 135/135; full re-sweep +16 more. Total +148 members.
R22 clean-fleet 213 passed / 0 failed of 213. tools-health OK, dedup-check 1949/0.
Fleet 96.11 -> 96.15% fn-count, 87.8 -> 87.9% distinct; stubs 14,120 -> 13,972 = -148 (2nd oracle).

CORRECTION TO MY OWN CLAIM (R14): after the probe I said the 58% aggregate was concealing a broad
problem. The re-sweep refuted it — only 16 more banks fleet-wide. The alias class really was one
family; the first read ("outlier") was right and the correction was wrong.

875 sweep failures classified: 231 PLUMBING-other, 141 DIFF (real divergence, only 16%),
136 `conflicting types for cdFileLocTable` (ONE symbol — biggest single class left),
77 CC1-FAIL(no-diagnostic), 26 memcpy, 12 D_80114F24, 11 D_800AE620, 9 D_800183E0.

STILL UNFIXED, and the most dangerous instrument left: the sweep's failure classifier greps for
`error:`, which gcc-2.7.2 never emits on hard errors. Every hard error therefore reads
CC1-FAIL(no-diagnostic). That is how a missing declaration looked like a codegen wall across 132
functions. rtu_match was fixed for this at T0(b); this classifier was not.

Drew T 57e345fcce feat(phase-30 S47-P): propagation sweep banks 1,419 member-matches for ~0 agent tokens
family_sweep --hseq --band all -j 8 over every matched-exemplar family: 553 families /
203 overlays / 1,419 banked / 1,023 failed (58%). R22 clean-fleet 213 passed / 0 failed of 213.
tools-health OK, dedup-check 1949 validated / 0 failed.

Fleet: 93.9 -> 94.2% instr / 87.2 -> 87.8% distinct / 95.72 -> 96.11% fn-count.
Second oracle (R34): INCLUDE_ASM stubs 15,542 -> 14,120 = -1,422, equal to the diff-derived net
(1,451 removed - 29 re-added = 1,422 = 1,419 sweep + 3 probe). Three independent counts agree.

B -> C -> P IS ONE CHAIN, NOT THREE WINS. 1,102 of the 1,422 landed in ov_SC02_037 (409),
ov_SC03_107 (364), ov_MAIN_012 (329) — the three newly-onboarded binaries from C, which had never
been wired into the shared-body ecosystem, so every matched exemplar was unreachable from them.
B fixed the declarations, C wired the include, P poured through the opening. A repeat sweep will
NOT pay like this; the opening was one-time.

S47 total: 1,481 functions banked with zero agent drafting, all from removing plumbing.

Two findings recorded, neither fixed (deliberate, costed):
- --band defaults to `substantial`: the first probe returned a confident {"families": 0,
  "banked": 0} on a real 135-member `mid` family. Always pass --band all.
- The alias-gather defect: probe on 0x80132018 banked 3/135, all 132 failures classified
  CC1-FAIL(no-diagnostic) because gcc-2.7.2 emits no `error:` prefix. Real error is
  `tbl_D_80187044' undeclared` — the exemplar declares TWO §37 asm-label aliases and uses both,
  family_remap carried one. T7-S1's "gather" class. Measured as an OUTLIER (aggregate 58%),
  which is why the sweep ran before the fix.

Refused by design, all named: 50 jr families / 183 member-slots (§53 interlock — it printed its
own coverage and reason), 264 STRUCT, 112 unresolved immediates, 3 not-stub.

Drew T 5f001a9392 chore(phase-30 S47): refresh derived frontier docs at HEAD commit:1543
Regenerated after the S47-B/C banks (family_hseq.py + report): docs/family-hseq.md,
docs/progress.fleet.md, docs/backlog.md. Numbers only — no analysis change.

Frontier at this HEAD (overlays only): 7,085 families / 14,508 instances / 752,073 ins.
  with siblings (>=2): 2,429 fams / 9,852 members / 467,634 ins (62.2%)
    - matched exemplar (propagate, ~0 tok): 460 fams / 2,861 members / 125,630 ins
    - zero-crack (crack 1 -> templates to N): 1,969 fams / 6,991 members / 342,004 ins
  singletons: 4,656 fams / 4,656 members / 284,439 ins (37.8%)
    - matched exemplar: 143 / 6,603 ins   - zero-crack (pays x1): 4,513 / 277,836 ins

Structural: the x138 era is over — 3 fleet-wide families remain and ALL 3 already have matched
exemplars, so no fleet-wide CRACK is left, only propagation. 82% of remaining code now sits in
the two worst cost profiles (x2-9 zero-crack 45.5%, singleton zero-crack 36.9%).

Drew T b0c1e14fda feat(phase-30 S46-final): 400+ cascade banked (11) + waste-prevention gate; B re-scoped, C blocked
- BANKED: 11 functions at 400-952 ins from the cascade (func_8017D898 952, func_8017CE58 733,
  func_801902EC 673, func_8018C2D8 673, func_8018A8D4, func_8017C6F4, func_800CBB38,
  func_800CF3A4, +3). check-all 213/213 from a clean tree. 6 near = jr/switch (§53 separate
  banking step), 1 failed. The cascade agents wrote 6 new cookbook sections incl. §158.
  ⚠️ tools-health UNVERIFIED at commit (stale cookbook index fixed, confirming re-run
  interrupted) — run it first next session. check-all is the byte oracle and it is green.
- WASTE PREVENTION (Drew: "prevent this from ever happening again, however you need to"):
  * tools/validate_targets.py (NEW) — names 5 defect classes (NO-ASM / MID-BODY /
    OUT-OF-RANGE / ALREADY-DONE / NO-BOUNDARY), exits non-zero.
  * WIRED INTO wave_snapshot so it fails closed — every wave passes through there for its .s
    files, so no path from target list to spawned agents bypasses validation. Negative-control:
    a 3-target bad list is refused with the exact mid-body offset (+72 bytes of 100).
  * The cascade `done()` predicate now short-circuits on SKIPPED as well as MATCH. It tested
    only MATCH, so a non-existent target fell Sonnet -> Opus -> Fable and three agents each
    proved the same phantom absent: ~29 invalid targets x 3 tiers = 87 of 119 agents, ~9.7M
    tokens. A tier that cannot act must END the pipeline, not escalate emptiness.
  * docs/accelerators.md A9, including that wave_snapshot's own R32 assertion REFUSED that list
    (24 of 57 found) and was routed around — the one instrument warning that was right and ignored.
- B RE-SCOPED (S46-10) and deliberately NOT done: the extend blocker is INTRA-HEADER, not
  target-side. engine_core.h declares memcpy FOUR incompatible ways across its DEFINE_ macros;
  two in one TU collide. NOT a safe cleanup — the in-tree note at ov_MAIN_012.c:14333 records
  that `extern memcpy` disables gcc's builtin and turns an inlined block-move into a CALL, so the
  declaration CHANGES CODEGEN. Probe one macro in one binary and byte-gate before any sweep.
- C (dedup_extend over the 129) stays blocked on B. Full context for both in the checkpoint.

Drew T f6e48b60c5 perf(phase-30 S46-4): parallelise the propagation — 24min -> 11.4min, and +62 MORE instances
Drew: "make it more multi-threaded... I still see my cpu idle for far too long."
Measured, fixed, and regression-tested against the S46-3 bank as a KNOWN ANSWER.

- THE MEASUREMENT: 31s saturated (33 makes/48 cc1/load 27) then ~25s with ONE build alive
  while 31 cores idled, repeating. Causes: ex.map starts in list order so the giants land
  last, and apply/restore is single-threaded.
- gate_all -> gate_failures: return EVERY failure the sweep already computed (~138 rounds -> 1).
- Longest-first gate scheduling; results re-sorted into `changed` order so the verdict stays
  bit-identical to the serial loop's.
- PER-OVERLAY INDEPENDENT SEARCH, IN PROCESSES. My first cut used threads and the box refuted
  it: 0-4 builds alive at load 3, because the work is regex over 15k-line files and 138
  "parallel" searches all queued on the GIL. Same logic in a ProcessPoolExecutor: 14-29 builds,
  load 34.75, search phase ~100s. Safe because the shared header is written ONCE by the parent
  and each overlay owns its own .c files + build/<bin>/. Seeded with one in-process search
  first — a pool submitted at once gives every worker an empty suspect list and makes all 138
  pay a full bisection. place_in_overlay extracted to module level so the worker and the
  in-process apply cannot drift (R33); compiles_standalone's fixed t.c is per-call now.
- THE REGRESSION (the point, not the stopwatch): revert src/+config to pre-bank, re-run the
  identical command -> 29 functions (same), 141 overlays byte-identical, 682s vs ~1440s, and
  285 exclusions vs ~350 => +62 MORE member instances (249,161). The old prefix-based
  necessity probe was OVER-EXCLUDING (charging 4 fns to 9 overlays that did not all need
  them); the per-overlay shrink minimises per overlay. The faster path is also more correct —
  a timing comparison would never have shown it. R22 213/213 + tools-health green.
- STILL SERIAL, now the actual wall-clock (neither is a build): ~3min setup before the first
  gate (registered_addrs() yaml-parsing a 1949-group/249k-instance registry + 213 sig loads)
  and ~2.5min of sequential reconcile_caller_extern after the search.
- Captured as defaults: docs/accelerators.md A8 + memory fleet-tool-parallelism-defaults.
  cookbook index regenerated (my §155c append left it stale — the gate caught it, exit 1).

Drew T 0d05d91293 docs(phase-30 S45 p7): F1 confirmed live (cookbook 156) + the cheap-tier size cliff (157) + wave_snapshot
- cookbook 156: a FAILED draft can poison the fleet. gate_stage's arity pre-pass writes
  the shared engine_core.h before the gate; a rejected draft's caller-signature edit
  survived and broke 141/213 binaries. Byte-gate held (fail-closed). The trap: a broken
  tree makes every later gate report 'near' -- two batches of verdicts were void, not
  evidence. Standing practice: GATE_NO_ARITY=1, assert 'git status --porcelain
  src/shared config' empty after every batch, recover by revert+replay (deterministic).
- cookbook 157: the cheap-tier size cliff, measured over two controlled waves.
  Haiku 4-27 ins 86% (~44k tok/match); >=50 ins 20% (~177k, 4x worse). The documented
  '<=50' band was optimistic. Agent honesty 63/63 claims true across 100 drafters.
- tools/wave_snapshot.py: immutable sha1-manifested per-wave .s copy, so a running wave
  can no longer block R22's 'make clean'. Coverage-asserting (exit 2 on a missing target),
  negative-control proven.
- docs/concurrency-design.md (Fable5): the lane contract, the false-bank correctness
  argument, and the finding that a worktree verify certifies the COMMIT -- strictly
  stronger than our main-tree R22, which also compiles untracked strays.
- checkpoint p7.

Drew T 788f33d523 feat(phase-30 S45 L3-p3): SC02/9 = the Steam Knight boss module — decoded, captured, retro-verified, onboarded; parked = 5
- the gate DECODED from matched C (func_8012832C case 0x300E -> func_80128998 -> streaming
  API with &cdFileLocTable[144]) -> scene arithmetic named the 1ST-BOSS arena -> ONE targeted
  load captured it at 0x801E4C60
- RETRO-VERIFIED: Phase-3's dumps/ram_castle.bin (2026-06-14) holds it at the SAME address,
  same 6,764-B exact prefix — R10 two independent datapoints two months apart;
  bossHp_SteamKnight (0x801E4398) lives inside this module's image
- onboarded md_SC02_009 (id 0x3E, TLO 0x4): BYTE-IDENTICAL first build; fleet 213;
  R22 213/213; tools-health OK; audit-disc UNCLAIMED 6 -> 5, residue 0
- the last 5 (MAIN/7, MAIN/9, SC03/53/54/56) reclassified emulator->STATIC-RE targets with
  decoded leads (memory-map §S45 p3); loc-id map appended to docs/debug-menu-list.txt
- negatives banked: pause menu, memory-box prompt, new-game intro, high/low game, Minku
  spawn (slot-A actor 0x15 = md_MAIN_015 candidate naming)

Drew T fa7b9d4c71 feat(phase-30 S45 L3): the emulator tour — all 28 script modules + MAIN/3 onboarded; fleet 212, R22 212/212
- THE TOUR (Drew driving the retail debug menu; mode-7 hammer over the Redux web API):
  all 28 script modules captured live at four byte-verified per-chapter slots
  (SC03/73-79 @0x801EF468 ch2-period, SC03/132-138 @0x801E25E8 ch3, SC04/24-30
  @0x801E7B28, SC05/23-29 @0x801ED988); the routing law: debug-menu AREA selects the
  chapter, each CITY interior streams its own module (member k <-> interior k).
  md_MAIN_011/DISELECT byte-proven 24,236/24,240 in RAM; slots A/B/boot R34-verified live.
- MAIN/3 DISCOVERED: the main-menu module (id 0x39, 121,884 B), mis-bucketed as data by
  BOTH audit oracles; live byte-proven @0x800CEDF8 (42,632-B exact prefix); onboarded.
- 29 onboardings BYTE-IDENTICAL on first build -> fleet 212; R22 212/212 after three
  md_MAIN_003 catches: the A4 DsMix leak; an extract-order-sensitive splat boundary
  (bytes: a 1-word data sentinel in .text + fn at +4 -> pinned in symbols file);
  corpus.stubs now treats D_*/jtbl_* INCLUDE_ASM as blob includes (mirrors progress.py)
- module-id census (offline, disc-wide): 77 id-law code payloads, 0 further misses;
  SC03/55 = confirmed DATA. audit-disc: UNCLAIMED 34 -> 6, residue 0 — the 6 carry
  byte-checked negative evidence; next tier = the CD-read tracer
- docs: memory-map §S45 (slots + routing + debug-menu ops), disc-completeness S45
  addendum, decision-log R31 entry, docs/debug-menu-list.txt (Drew's transcription)
- .run/s45 evidence allowlisted (tour logs/scripts/rosters); 104 ram dumps LOCAL-ONLY
- new baseline: 93.8% instr / 95.68% fn / 87.2% distinct over 212

Drew T 4cadac4e11 feat(phase-30 S45 II.1c): module batch dedup-banked + verified — 408 banks, R22 183/183, audit-disc 75->34 (parked-only)
- dedup measure (R37 probe): 69/1,113 module fns h_exact-match matched corpus (~6%, LOW as
  planned — modules are novel frontier); dedup_extend inapplicable (same-vram group model) ->
  family_sweep --hseq --band all over the 57 matched-exemplar families: 408 member-matches
  banked (182 into modules, 226 into the big 3 — families Part I's --only scoping missed),
  169 failed + 77 STRUCT = genuine per-member frontier
- R22 clean-fleet 183/183 BYTE-IDENTICAL; audit-disc UNCLAIMED 75->34 residue 0 (34 = 31
  parked-for-L3 + SC03/53,54,56 — 3 rows Discovery-3 never tiered, now parked with evidence)
- three instrument fixes, each negative-control-proven:
  - family_sweep --hseq stub map derives ov_*+md_*+resident (was sig.ov_* glob -> module
    members silently 'not-stub', R32 class) [committed earlier as commit:1506]
  - sig-modules seeds from the built ELF's func_* symbols (bootstrap GLUES adjacent fns
    around jtbl dispatch -> 24 false TRUNCATED; perturbed-sig control still bites)
  - corpus.audit counts CODE lines only (module .s carries its header jtbl as .word lines);
    progress.py buckets INCLUDE_RODATA symbols as blobs (unbucketed R32 hole)
- NEW HONEST BASELINE (183 binaries): 94.0% instr / 95.96% fn-count / 87.6% distinct;
  tools-health OK, audit-digest OK
2026-08-06 13:14:03 -06:00
Drew T 41ff2ba127 docs(phase-30 S44 I.3): checkpoint — Part I complete; fresh session resumes at Part II
- R22 clean-fleet 143/143; fleet 96.13% fn / 94.4% instr (honest grown denominator; pre-expansion
  line 95.00% on 140 kept for continuity) / 88.3% distinct. audit-binaries OK over 143.
- make audit-disc: UNCLAIMED 78 -> 75 payloads (3,564,021 -> 2,038,104 B), residue 0 — the three
  claims flipped automatically via check.sha, exactly as the ledger was designed.
- S44 session total: 5,126 member-functions banked into the 3 new overlays; the ~2,051 remaining
  stubs are the new frontier, visible to every tool via citizenship (no separate ledger rows —
  recorded as a deviation from plan I.2e, redundant by construction).
- Part II handoff live in the plan file + the S44 checkpoint block.

Drew T 5c84ad5ada feat(phase-30 S43): the 263x5 cluster BANKED 5/5 (+1,315 ins) — the SWEEP was corrupting correct drafts
- R22 CLEAN-FLEET: 140 passed, 0 failed of 140. Fleet 12,502,519/13,160,961 = 94.997% instr
  (+18,146 instructions this session, 23 functions). 393 instructions from the 95.000% bar.
- REDO of the S43-9 retraction, done correctly through harvest_verify (splice/build/keep-iff-
  byte-identical/revert) instead of hand-building. 5/5 banked, each re-verified three ways:
  image SHA == locked SHA, stub gone, real definition present.
  ov_SC03_101/func_801814F8 · ov_SC03_104/func_80184934 · ov_SC04_003/func_8017E4F4 ·
  ov_SC04_005/func_80181054 · ov_SC04_007/func_8017FF08
- THE DEFECT THIS PROVES: family_sweep --hseq reported this family 0/5 with
  "PLUMBING: parse error before 'unsigned'" — but the remapped drafts are byte-CORRECT. The only
  `unsigned` in the draft is INSIDE A COMMENT, so a gate-pipeline transform is eating a `/*` opener
  and turning comment text into code. Per-transform runs on the draft alone all preserve it, so it
  needs the gate's real invocation (--src-file) to reproduce. NOT YET PINNED — and it is silently
  costing banks in every sweep it touches. Next: run the three transforms with --src-file and diff.
- Workaround that banked them: carry the exemplar's typedefs by hand (the family_remap _carry_macros
  gap, §146/§152) and gate directly, bypassing the sweep's recovery ladder.
- Also killed a self-inflicted infinite poll: an `until ! pgrep -f "permuter_ils.py <fn>"` loop whose
  pattern matched its OWN bash command line, so the condition could never go false (spun 2h30m).
  Same family as the day's other defects: a check that cannot return the answer that ends it.
