Drew T c9e12a079b feat(phase-29 crack-wave): +6 cores banked ×1 in ov_SC01_077 (R22 140/140)
Ultracode 11-core crack-wave over the freshly-regenerated draftable structural
frontier (R35: the Jul-14 manifest still listed already-banked families). 9
match_one MATCH / 2 near; 6 of 9 banked whole-binary byte-identical.

Banked (ov_SC01_077, ×1 — ×138 sweep deferred, Drew paused after the bank):
- func_80150170 (95, hexR=138 dedup core) — engine_core void->s32 narrow
- func_8016D1D8 (148) — data-label + typedef-scope
- func_8016D688 (60)  — data-label (D_801D9C20)
- func_80165240 (63)  — normalize_self_decls (caller-decl -> void(void*x3))
- func_80164E40 (25)  — engine_core void->s32 narrow
- func_801457A4 (79)  — -O0 (relocated into _o0b object)

- engine_core.h: 3 decls narrowed void->s32 (byte-neutral fleet-wide; callers
  ignore the return) — R22 clean-fleet 140/140 confirms neutrality.
- config/symbols.ov_SC01_077.txt: D_801D9C20/60 u8 data-label mirror so a
  re-extract re-emits the labels the D1D8/D688 banks reference (R22 corollary;
  fixed a type:data->type:u8 splat-format bug that broke ov_SC01_077 extract).
- 3 NOT banked (801549F8, 8013BD74, 8013C0F8): all match standalone, blocked
  ONLY by the §8 jtbl-rodata carve (NOT codegen; C0F8 was NOT a real DIFF).
- .run/giants: 2 near (8014D820 close-11 intrinsic-sched, 8012E364 close-22)
  + the 3 jtbl-blocked drafts preserved (R20).

R22 clean-fleet: 140/140 byte-identical; tools-health OK (dedup 1846/0,
C1 234205/234205); 0 NON_MATCHING linked (G4). Fleet 75.2/60.6/87.04 (flat —
×1 banks; the ×138 sweep is the deferred fleet-mover).

cookbook §58 (R30): match_one MATCH != bank — it compiles standalone so it is
blind to (a) Ghidra symbol names, (b) def-sig conflicts vs the fleet, (c)
callee-decl conflicts, (d) -O0-vs-O2; crack-wave drafts need a reconcile pass.

Drew T 53433df1b3 feat(phase-29): func_8013D53C 14/137 + NSD hardened (rewrite-to-canonical, (void) fix) + Cmd lift
- func_8013D53C: NSD (self-decl caller-thread) + a byte-neutral Cmd_8013D53C type-lift clear the plumbing
  -> 14/137 h_seq members bank; 123 have genuine per-member codegen DIFFs (hard cse.c-wall crack -> permuter
  fuel). Reverted the 123 bankless byte-neutral NSD edits (churn on matched code, §57a NB).
- NSD hardened, 2 bug-fixes validated on D53C: REWRITE the divergent decl to canonical instead of DROPPING
  it (drop broke def-after-caller forward visibility -> 'func undeclared'); and '(void)' is a genuine 0-param
  conflict, not skippable like a true no-proto '()' (the bug that filed D53C's arity class as 'not this pass').
- earlier this session: broad --fix-def-sig sweep = HONEST +137 only (staging != banking, R14/R35); NSD is
  SURGICAL-ONLY (broad application poisons whole groups; --fix-def-sig is broad-safe). cookbook §57a.
- R22 clean-fleet 140/140 byte-identical; tools-health OK (dedup 1846/0, C1 234205/234205); 0 NON_MATCHING (G4).
  fleet 75.2% instr / 60.6% distinct / 87.04% fn-count. session-total from 74.6: +0.6pp instr, ~+421 members.

Drew T 65c93ea035 feat(phase-29 type-lift): func_8016CBC0 family 1->138/138 (+137) via the 6-typedef engine_types.h lift
- func_8016CBC0's 137 members were NOT self-decl-blocked (§57 survey: 0 divergent self-decls) but blocked
  on the exemplar's 6 LOCAL typedefs (Rec_/Blk_/SVEC_/CLR_/Poly_/Mtx8_8016CBC0). Lifted all 6 verbatim into
  src/shared/engine_types.h (fleet-visible via engine_core.h) + removed the locals from the exemplar TU.
  No fleet name-collision; exemplar rebuilds byte-identical d19c9580 (the type-lift is byte-neutral).
- family_sweep --hseq --only 0x8016CBC0 --no-preclassify --normalize-self-decls -> 137/137 banked, 0 failed
  (the decl-normalize stage a correct no-op here — 0 self-decls). 0 func_8016CBC0 stubs remain fleet-wide.
- R22 clean-fleet 140/140 byte-identical; tools-health OK (dedup 1846/0, C1 234205/234205); 0 NON_MATCHING
  linked (G4). fleet 74.9->75.1% instr / 60.1->60.6% distinct / 86.96->87.00% fn-count.
- R14 lesson: two families that both looked like a 'stuck 137-family' needed DIFFERENT levers
  (decl-normalize §57 vs type-lift) — route by the real cc1 error, not the shape. session-total +270 members.

Drew T ad11c491a5 feat(phase-29 decl-normalize): func_801670E4 family 4->137/137 (+133) via the 3rd §17a-1 direction
- new tools/normalize_self_decls.py — the SAME-FUNCTION decl-normalize: drop each decl of the templated
  fn F that the sibling TU's OWN already-banked callers declare divergently (block-scope, a different C
  form than the exemplar's fn-ptr cast) + cast its in-scope calls (byte-neutral §17a-1). cast_call_sites
  does the callee direction, reconcile_tu the data direction; this is the third: F itself.
- family_sweep --normalize-self-decls: new per-sibling stage after reconcile_def_sig (edits the sibling
  TU file = harvest_verify's baseline, like edit_remap_sweep) + snapshot/final-SHA-MISMATCH revert backstop.
- byte-proven the sole blocker was the caller-decl conflict, NOT --fix-def-sig (which renamed F's def
  params a0..a3 while the body used arg0..arg3 -> arg0 undeclared; R14 confound removed). 133/133 banked,
  0 failed, 0 backstop fires; 0 func_801670E4 stubs remain fleet-wide.
- R22 clean-fleet 140/140 byte-identical; tools-health OK (dedup 1846/0, C1 234205/234205); 0 NON_MATCHING
  linked (G4). fleet 74.6->74.9% instr / 59.4->60.1% distinct / 86.92->86.96% fn-count. cookbook §57.
- R14: func_8016CBC0 (also stuck 137-family) has NO divergent self-decl -> type-lift-blocked, a SEPARATE
  lever (6-typedef cluster, like 8012956c), not this pass. Route by the real cc1 error.

Drew T 514383de6a chore(phase-29 crack-wave): log wave2+fable+type-lift outcome (fleet 74.6% instr) + preserve drafts
Session-total 72.1->74.6% instr (+2.5pp). 8 exemplars + ~815 members banked; 3 Fable source-read cracks
(cse.c address-CSE, post-reload sched, reorg j-slot). Follow-ups: 801670e4/8016cbc0 per-sibling decl-norm,
8013d53c caller-thread, 801412a8 §29 wall, 4 permuter near-misses. All drafts preserved (R20).

Ultracode 7-agent fan-out. func_8013CB84 banked x138 (+34k ins). 2 jr MATCHes deferred on
def-side/-O0 walls (characterized+preserved R20). 4 near-misses + 8014D820 perm27 = permuter/Fable5
fuel. Crack-wave sweep recipe learned (map regen -> matched-ov077 -> standard sweep). R22 140/140.

Regen family map post-bank -> exemplar promoted draft-ov077->matched-ov077 -> standard
family_sweep --hseq templates the committed reconciled body (the --reconcile-raw path
mishandles per-overlay data externs; standard path is correct). +249x138 ~= +34k ins.

Drew T 4310269bb8 feat(phase-29 §8e): campaign close — 3 families swept (410 banks), fleet 73.4% instr / 56.9% distinct (v-batch R22 140/140)
- func_80131340 138/138 · func_80159C84 134/138 (4 SC07 named) · func_8013F350 138/138 ·
  func_8013C414 x1 (family deferred on the -O0-cluster rollout wall, uniform + fail-loud).
- cookbook §8e-2: clean-draft law, zero-word spec rule + tables= persistence + --like transfer,
  named deferral classes. progress.fleet.md digest regenerated. Clean drafts preserved (R20).

Drew T 5e78dccf07 feat(phase-29 §8e): jtbl 8-align pad-spec filter — the 4-giant unblock tooling (fleet-neutral)
- ROOT CAUSE PINNED (the session-2 half-pin was INVERTED; both probes were vacuous, R35):
  cc1 emits .align 3 before EVERY jump table; maspsx passes it VERBATIM (the :435 'drop' is
  an inventory-only pass); as bakes the pad SECTION-RELATIVE; link placement was never guilty
  (SUBALIGN(2) + ALIGN(.,4) place 4-mod-8 carve starts tight). Merging originally-separate
  TUs fires an intra-TU align where the original packed tight -> +4 at rodata 0xCC ->
  image-wide %lo shift. Honest probes persisted: .run/probe_jtbl/ (verdict.md + objdumps).
- NEW tools/jtbl_rodata_pads.py: post-maspsx filter replaces each rodata .align 3 with the
  ORIGINAL's exact pad bytes per a JTBL_PADS spec; fail-loud on table-count drift /
  non-align-3 / non-jtbl rodata content. Byte-proven: verbatim 0xE4 pad-at-0xCC ->
  filtered 0xE0 tight (= the merged carve span).
- jtbl_carve.py: spec-aware same-subseg merge (gap 0 or 4-with-zero-payload-word; else
  NON-CONTIGUOUS -> isolate), interval-arithmetic pad specs (committed values CARRIED,
  never re-derived), JTBL_PADS target-var emission into overlays.mk + revert() restore +
  stale-.o invalidation; the false 'maspsx drops .align' docstring corrected (H5).
- Makefile: $(if $(JTBL_PADS),| jtbl_rodata_pads.py ...) stage in build/src/%.o + file-scope
  empty default (env-shield). jtbl_family_bank.stub_file: duplicate-stub fail-loud (the
  earlier 'ladder failure' was a wrong-TU splice into a stale _a.c stub, byte-witnessed).
- R22 clean-fleet WITH the fix wired: 140/140 byte-identical, tools-health green
  (dedup 1846/0, C1 234205/234205), ZERO new banks -- fleet-neutral by construction.
- cookbook §8e (the jtbl alignment law) + §8a/§8a-pad corrections; decision-log R31 entry;
  SETUP.md tool row; .gitignore allowlist for the probe verdict artifacts.

Drew T 1dbf8310ef chore(phase-29 T4): regen progress.fleet.md digest (fleet 72.1% instr after session-2 banks) 2026-07-17 18:37:47 -06:00
Drew T c5e8af5cfb feat(phase-29 T4): propagate giant func_8013FAF8 (312) x137 (h_seq family sweep)
Task-4: the non-jtbl giant func_8013FAF8 (312 ins) is now DONE fleet-wide. It is an h_seq family
(masked-identical body, per-overlay symbols/relocs) so dedup_propagate refused it (reach<2); the
path is family_sweep --hseq --only 0x8013FAF8 --allow-pins (per-overlay symbol remap).

First sweep banked 0/137: family_sweep copies the exemplar's extern block VERBATIM, and the
hand-crafted exemplar had 4 callee externs diverging from the fleet-canonical (func_8005A600
void->s32, func_80024054 s32->void*, func_80137D08 s32*->int, func_8013AB54 s32*->s32) -> every
member threw `conflicting types`. Aligning those 4 in the COMMITTED exemplar .c to the
member-consensus form (byte-neutral; ov_SC01_077 stays byte-identical) -> re-sweep 137/137 banked,
0 failed. +312 ins x137 ~= +42.7k ins.

R22 clean-fleet 140/140 byte-identical; tools-health OK. Cookbook §56b (exemplar externs must be
fleet-canonical for an h_seq sweep; contrast dedup_propagate --recover which auto-reconciles CALLER
externs -- family_sweep does not, so pre-align the CALLEE externs by hand).

Both non-jtbl giants now fully banked+propagated (func_8013FAF8 x137, func_8014F4C0 x134); the 4
jtbl giants remain deferred on the byte-proven 8-align jtbl-carve gap.

Drew T def16c8b18 feat(phase-29 T4): bank giant func_8013FAF8 (312) x1 + cookbook §56 (giant-splice reconciliation)
Task-4 giant-bank #1 of the 12 preserved p29t3 drafts. func_8013FAF8 (312 ins, a
menu/HUD prim builder stubbed in 138 overlays) BANKED x1 in ov_SC01_077, whole-binary
byte-identical; R22 clean-fleet 140/140; tools-health OK (dedup 1843/0, audit-binaries OK).

The README billed it "pure def-sig plumbing" but it was a 5-conflict multi-symbol
reconciliation (~5 gate iterations), all byte-neutral + gate-arbitrated (G3/P9):
- def-sig s16/s16 vs canonical s32/s32 -> NARROWED the extern fleet-wide (404 decls/265
  files). NOT --fix-def-sig: the s32 variant diverges at insn 22 (match_one, R35). Neutral
  because every fleet caller passes (s16)-cast or small-const args (verified).
- 3 data-symbol conflicts (D_80115128 lh / D_800B9A02 lhu / D_80187AC0 s32[]) declared
  BEFORE the splice (block-scope §55a-blocked) -> the TU's §18 cast-at-use-site convention
  (*(s16*)&, *(u16*)&, ((s32*)&sym)[i]) forces the load width regardless of decl signedness,
  keeps the TU decl untouched, propagation-safe. No CSE-hoist across 5 uses.
- 2 fn-extern conflicts (func_8013FFD8 s16 arg0, func_80141100 int(int)) -> reconciled the
  draft decl to the TU def + byte-neutral call-site cast. Still MATCH 312/312.

Stubs 138->137, 1 def, 0 NON_MATCHING (G4). Fleet holds 71.4/53.3/86.42 (the ×1 exemplar is
negligible until propagation ×137, batched per §55b). Technique -> cookbook §56.

Drew T 225d78106d feat(phase-29 T3): CLOSE — jr cores 4/4 match_one MATCH (gate-blocked on plumbing) + 12 giants preserved; SESSION CHECKPOINT
TASK 3 COMPLETE (both deliverables):
(a) jr cores: a 2nd ultracode wave cracked all four giants at match_one — func_8013F350 (490),
    func_80131340 (424, verified TWICE: standalone AND in-TU cc1 rc=0), func_80159C84 (337),
    func_8013C414 (329, -O0). ALL FOUR gate-rejected on INTEGRATION (def-sig / §8a rodata island /
    decl conflict), not codegen; each blocker NAMED. func_8013C414 matched ONLY because of the new
    worker_wave --o0 fix (a -O0 target self-checked at -O2 can never match — the §53/§54 wrong-build-step
    trap that produced Phase-28's "~3%" artifact).
(b) §53 has_mid_jr INTERLOCK: built + negative-control-proven (commit:0670).

PRESERVED (R20 — ~2.6M agent tokens to reproduce; bank them, do NOT re-draft):
  .run/giants/p29t3_*.c (12 drafts) + p29t3_README.md — every draft is match_one-MATCH or a
  characterized near-miss, with its exact blocker + a cheapest-first bank order. Best value:
  func_8013FAF8 (312, MATCH, pure def-sig plumbing); then func_80131340 (in-TU-proven);
  func_8013F350 (§30#2 macro-widen void->s32); func_8013C414 (§8a rodata-island carve).
  Permuter fuel: func_80177940 (close=5), func_801670E4 (16 — strip pins first, permuter can't
  ingest them), func_8014D820 (33), func_80140958 (116).

SESSION CHECKPOINT — safe to open a fresh session:
  140/140 byte-identical; tools-health OK; dedup 1843/0; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4); main 143dbb89.
  Fleet 68.9 -> 71.4% instr / 49.5 -> 53.3% distinct-code / 83.94 -> 86.42% fn-count.
  Tasks 1,2,3,6 DONE. Remaining: T4 (member harvest + grinder warm-start/bug-fixes), T5 (Ghidra-C
  prefetch, needs /mcp), T7 (burn-down + ROI close). Carried: the 2 local-type-blocked cores
  (func_8014E284, func_80137DD4) need the build_engine_types type-lift to propagate x137.
2026-07-17 02:59:10 -06:00
Drew T fd564a2cf7 feat(phase-29 T3): propagate the 3 self-contained cores ×137 (+410 instances; fleet 71.0->71.4% instr)
- targeted dedup_propagate --addr per core (NOT --auto-from), --recover for stragglers:
    0x8014ADE0 -> 138 overlays byte-identical
    0x801325B8 -> 134 (ov_SC07_011 byte-diverges -> auto-excluded, kept x1 — what --recover is for)
    0x801387B8 -> 138 overlays byte-identical
  = ~410 member-instances; 3 new dedup groups (1840 -> 1843), C1 coverage 233795/233795.
- 2 of the 5 banked cores (func_8014E284, func_80137DD4) stay ×1: "not self-contained (local types)"
  -> blocked on the build_engine_types type-lift (the §19/§20 propagation cap). Carried.
- R22 clean-fleet 140/140 BYTE-IDENTICAL; audit-binaries OK; dedup 1843/0; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4).
  Fleet instr 71.0 -> 71.4% / fn-count 86.30 -> 86.42% / distinct-code 53.3%.

- SELF-CORRECTION (R14/R35), now fixed in cookbook §55c + CURRENT_PHASE: my earlier claim that this
  propagate "needs ~2h+" was WRONG. That timing was taken while the tree still carried the partial
  damage of a killed --auto-from (90/140 overlays broken), so every member-gate was failing/retrying.
  On a HEALTHY tree a targeted --addr propagate is ~233s/core (all 3 = ~27 min) — ~20x faster. Only
  --auto-from is genuinely fleet-slow. A timing taken on a broken tree measures the breakage, not the
  tool — recover the tree FIRST, then measure.
- cookbook §55: the wave's new byte-proven levers (§49-variant birthing-boost suppression via
  reg_n_sets 1->2; sched1 birthing/LUID + "cc1 -dL" movable introspection; switch-tree vs jtbl
  CASE_VALUES_THRESHOLD=5; block-scope-extern beats *(T*)&sym) + the GATE-ORCHESTRATION law
  (--no-propagate per group then ONE targeted --addr; commit banks BEFORE propagating; a reverted src
  needs a re-extract; gate_stage's default harvest_verified.txt accumulates -> phantom banks).

Drew T b5340f920b feat(phase-29 T3): core-crack wave — 5 cores banked x1 (13 agents: 7 match/6 near); propagate deferred + 3 tooling traps logged
- ULTRACODE worker_wave: 13 xHigh drafters over 6 cores (260-371 ins) + 7 B3 near-misses (100-141).
  Usage-limit hit at 2/13 -> RESUMED (cached replay) -> 13/13 done, 7 match / 6 near.
- BANKED x1 (whole-binary byte-gate; R22 clean-fleet 140/140): func_8014ADE0 (139), func_8014E284 (108),
  func_80137DD4 (129), func_801325B8 (113), func_801387B8 (100). NEAR: func_8013FAF8 (312 giant, def-sig
  s16/s16 vs canonical s32/s32), func_8014F4C0 (in-TU byte-verified; unresolved decl conflict).
- NEW levers for the flywheel: §49-variant birthing-boost suppression via reg_n_sets 1->2 (func_801325B8);
  sched1 birthing/LUID + "cc1 -dL" movable introspection (func_80177940); switch-tree vs jtbl
  CASE_VALUES_THRESHOLD (func_801387B8). 6 near-misses carry byte-proven residual analyses.
- THREE TOOLING TRAPS (mine; ~3.5h lost, 0 data lost — all recovered):
  (1) gate_stage's propagate is FLEET-WIDE (--auto-from): running gate_stage per-group ran it 4x
      redundantly; 3 timed out at 3600s -> partial damage (90/140 broken, 887 files). FIX: --no-propagate
      per group, then ONE targeted --addr propagate.
  (2) a reverted src needs a RE-EXTRACT (R22 corollary): asm/ kept the banked state -> corpus.CorpusError
      '5 stubs have NO .s on disk' (R34's second oracle caught it, working as designed).
  (3) gate_stage's default .run/harvest_verified.txt ACCUMULATES + no --verified-out CLI -> PHANTOM
      'banked:1' for a still-stubbed fn (R32/R35 class, still armed). Trust the SOURCE, not the report.
  LAW: commit cheap verified banks BEFORE the expensive propagate.
- PROPAGATE DEFERRED, properly sized: 3/5 self-contained x138 = ~414 instances; 2 blocked on local types
  (type-lift); straggler ov_SC03_093 needs --recover; measured ~2h+ (my 3000s guards killed it twice).
- fleet instr 71.0% / distinct 53.3% / fn-count 86.30%; dedup 1840/0; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4); main 143dbb89.

- fleet-wide --band substantial (17) + tiny (2) with --fix-def-sig (all families) = 19 more members;
  the def-sig conflict was concentrated in the 2 tiny-IMM mega-pools (already banked, now not-stub)
- R22 clean-fleet 140/140 byte-identical; pure-reduction; dedup 1840/0; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4)
- fleet instr 71.0% (steady) / distinct 53.2->53.3% / fn-count 86.30%. Task-6 mega-pool track complete;
  permuter backlog (grinder/permuter_ils close-1..4) remains as the other Task-6 half

Drew T 941cd37b19 feat(phase-29 T6): tiny-IMM mega-pools CRACKED +4,801 via family_sweep --fix-def-sig (fleet 70.4->71.0% instr)
- THE FIX (new): family_sweep --fix-def-sig (header_sig_map + reconcile_def_sig, 1005 mapped fns) —
  rewrites each member draft's DEF signature to the shared-header (engine_core.h) canonical decl.
  Root cause (byte-proven, R14/R35 after 3 masked-metric mis-reads): engine_core.h forward-declares
  the member (extern void func_8015FAAC(s32 *a0), a shared fn calls it) while family_remap copies the
  EXEMPLAR sig (void *a0) -> 'conflicting types' -> member TU never compiles. Invisible to standalone
  diff_regions/match_one (no header conflict) AND to --reconcile. Byte-neutral (ptr-type param, gate
  arbitrates G3/P9); one member hand-verified byte-identical first.
- 0x80131eec 2331/2470 (94%) + 0x80130d0c 2470/2496 (99%) = 4,801 members banked across 405 overlay
  files. R22 clean-fleet 140/140 byte-identical; pure-reduction (0 new/dup stubs); dedup 1840/0;
  0 NON_MATCHING (G4). Fleet instr 70.4->71.0% / distinct 52.3->53.2% / fn-count 84.94->86.30%.
- CORRECTS the commit:0665 'symbol-definition gap' scout (WRONG). The 4th 'reproduce the build step'
  instance (§53-carve, -O0-flag, now the member's canonical DECLARATION). cookbook §54, decision-log R31.

Drew T f6f89781ff feat(phase-29 T2 Arm A): swing verdict = BANKED FACT (9/9 -O0 members on ov_SC07_010); fleet -O0 rollout deferred at the splat wall
- tools/rollout_o0_cluster.py (new) + Makefile O0_CLUSTER_OBJS -O0 wildcard: the -O0-cluster
  carve (0x13410..0x14834), adapting rollout_whale_o0.py to a 3-way <ov>/<ov>_o0/<ov>_o2b split
- ov_SC07_010: carve byte-neutral -> family_sweep --hseq banked 9/9 -O0 exemplar-family members
  whole-binary (R22 clean-fleet 140/140). The Task-1 masked-MATCH swing verdict is now a BANKED
  FACT: -O0 cluster members DO bank at -O0 (§52b). Phase-20 'func_8013B7AC overlay-local' refuted.
- THE WALL (byte-proven, TOOLING not compiler): the same carve on 006/007/011 byte-shifts the whole
  image (+0x20 %lo data-symbol shift, 34% diff) from a CLEAN build; boundaries verified as real
  fn-starts. Root cause = splat re-disassembly of a 3-way-split subseg that still holds INCLUDE_ASM
  stubs (the whale's stub-free _o0b shape avoids it). The Phase-20 '-O0 split infra' wall, root-caused.
- DEFERRED (ROI): full -O0 fleet rollout (~1,233 / ~0.6pp) — 3/4 sampled walled + 134 jr-embedded +
  bigger levers (Task 3 core-cracks, Task 6 tiny-IMM ~5,566). decision-log R31 + cookbook §18-P29.
- 140/140 byte-identical; dedup 1840/0; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4); main 143dbb89. Task 2 substantively done.

Drew T 908dded511 feat(phase-29 T2a): Arm B tail — 748 members banked in the 4 SC07 tail overlays (fleet 70.2->70.4% instr)
- resumed the SIGTERM-interrupted comprehensive --band all sweep as 3 band-bounded
  family_sweep --hseq --allow-pins passes (substantial 53 + mid 372 + tiny 323 = 748),
  each exit 0 (the --band all SIGTERM lesson: band-bounded + committed-per-batch)
- all 748 in the 4 files=1 SC07 tail overlays (ov_SC07_010 897->516, ov_SC07_011
  797->436, 006 457->454, 007 595->592); verified pure-reduction (0 new/dup stubs, R14/H5)
- 006/007 residual = jr-families (§53 carve, Task 3) + plumbing; plain-sweep tail drained
- R22 clean-fleet 140/140 byte-identical; audit-binaries OK; dedup 1840/0; main 143dbb89;

Drew T 5b6a8ae6cb feat(phase-29 T2a): Arm B type-lift sweep — 3,407 member-matches banked (fleet 68.9->70.2% instr)
Acting on Task-1's verdict (the legacy-PURE "~3%" is tooling, not a wall): the -O2
type-lift arm. family_sweep --hseq --no-preclassify --band all --allow-pins templates
each matched exemplar's C onto its unbanked same-family members and whole-binary
byte-gates every one (the sole arbiter, G3/P9). The pin-crash wall being dissolved
(Phase-27/28 _carry_macros) let --allow-pins retry the pinned exemplars.

- BANKED 3,407 member-matches across 136 overlays (INCLUDE_ASM stubs -> matched C).
- R22 clean-fleet verify: 136/137 modified overlays byte-identical from a clean rebuild;
  the 1 FAIL (ov_SC07_010) was the SIGTERM mid-gate partial -> reverted, byte-identical.
- make check-all: 140 passed / 140 BYTE-IDENTICAL; dedup-check 1840/0; audit-binaries OK;
  audit-cdecl green; 0 NON_MATCHING in any default build (G4).
- Fleet: instr-weighted 68.9 -> 70.2% (+1.3pp) . distinct-code 49.5 -> 51.9% (+2.4pp) .
  fn-count 83.94 -> 84.73% (+0.79pp).
- Process lesson (CURRENT_PHASE.md): --band all sweeps are too long for one background
  pass (got SIGTERM'd); future Arm B runs go band-bounded + committed-per-batch (resumable).
  Residual FAILED members (pin/drift/plumbing) + the -O0 Arm A carve remain.

Drew T 2e84b53b2d feat(phase-29 T1): the swing number RESOLVED — (a) tooling, an -O0 compile-flag artifact (not a wall)
Phase-29 opens by running the Phase-28 disambiguating probe before scaling any
"(cores)x(reach)" arithmetic on the legacy-PURE-non-jr "~3% as-tooled" swing number.

- NEW tools/diff_regions.py (the deferred roadmap tool): remap the exemplar exactly
  as family_sweep --hseq stages it, compile at the EXEMPLAR's real opt level
  (auto-detected from the Makefile -O0 rules), masked-diff vs target, classify each
  member O0-FLAG / TEMPLATES / PLUMBING-ISO / REGALLOC / NO-TARGET. Composes
  family_remap + match_one + masked_diff (R33).
- VERDICT (byte-proven): the 274 DIFF is dominated (~272) by two -O0 families
  (0x8013c964, 0x8013c938) that family_sweep compiled -O2 (member stub files are -O2);
  an -O2 compile of an -O0 target can never match. Compiled -O0 they masked-MATCH
  (func_8013C964->MATCH(10), func_8013C938->MATCH(11)). 106-member sample across
  nins 2..133: O0-FLAG 45 / already-banked 29 / TEMPLATES 17 / type-lift-plumbing 15 /
  REGALLOC 0. ZERO codegen walls.
- The "~3% ceiling" is RETIRED (a tooling artifact — the 3rd structural wall to resolve
  to tooling after B2 and SC07). The member track is a mechanical -O0 split rollout +
  type-lift sweep (Task 2a), NOT a per-member grind; member_adapt.py not needed here.
- Honest scope (§52b, R14/R35): masked-MATCH is a CANDIDATE; whole-binary banking is
  Task 2a's gate. Verdict + byte evidence -> docs/calibration.md + docs/decision-log.md (R31).
2026-07-16 12:07:37 -06:00
Drew T 3827d01bfb feat(phase-28): the endgame engine -> the instrument-repair phase; B2 lives, SC07 wired, R36 (v1.27.0)
- RE-SCOPED at plan time (R35): the roadmap's swing number rested on a broken-tool probe. B2's
  "structural families bank ~0%" (0/8, which reshaped 2 phases of strategy) was a MISSING CARVE ->
  8/8, then 102/115 (88.7%). The ~0% doctrine has NO surviving post-fix evidence.
- T0 img_path derive-not-guess -> un-hid a 230,612-ins SC07 pool doubly hidden (P27 onboarded 4
  overlays, never regenerated the map; the hardcode would have called every member "LEN").
- T3-A: the SC07 pool is h_exact + UNWIRED, not h_seq. T4 dedup_extend (NEW) wired 6174/6457 (95.6%)
  -> groups 134->138 binaries, C1 coverage +6174. NOT member_adapt (the number said build nothing).
- T5: resident 21->14 (90.34%, 7 banked via an Ultracode wave) + honest dossier for the 14; fixed
  progress.py (#if 0 + len()-sum) and match_one's FAKE isolation (found by an agent mid-wave).
- T2 purged the poisoned grinder blacklist (8/22 matched anyway). T6 killed the --chunk 1 double-build.
- T7: make audit-binaries (the R36 citizenship gate, negative-control-proven) + fixed disc_code_sweep's
  BLINDNESS to compressed code (the type-4 row was vacuous for 138 known binaries) + the worklist key-bug.
- T3b: the legacy h_seq swing number = ~3% AS-TOOLED, CLASSIFIED (274 DIFF / 37 PLUMBING), ceiling
  UNKNOWN -- the 274 DIFF is byte-PURE members whose remapped bodies don't reproduce (the same
  tooling-vs-wall ambiguity that resolved to TOOLING twice this phase). P29 disambiguates before scaling.
- THREE SELF-INFLICTED DEFECTS fixed forward: the registry yaml.safe_dump (H5, destroyed 47 comments +
  1832 hex fields, invisible to every byte-gate), two DIFF mis-reports (R14), the match_one shared scratch.
- rule R36 (a newly-discovered binary is not real until every consumer knows it; enforced by
  audit-binaries). cookbook §53. R22 140/140 throughout; tools-health OK; dedup 1840/0.
2026-07-16 10:53:23 -06:00
Drew T 6996d25379 feat(phase-28 T3b): the legacy h_seq swing number — ~3% as-tooled, CLASSIFIED, ceiling unknown
The roadmap's actual swing number (the LEGACY h_seq templatability rate; T3-A's SC07 pool was a
different question — h_exact + unwired, banked 95.6%). family_sweep --hseq --chunk 1 over 6 legacy
PURE non-jr families (has_mid_jr excluded per §53):

- 9 BANKED / 37 PLUMBING / 274 DIFF (173 skipped not-stub/pinned) = ~3% (9/320). R22 140/140.
  UNLIKE Phase 26, the failures are CLASSIFIED — 274 genuine gate-DIFF, not an unclassified 0%.

- THE LOAD-BEARING NUANCE (R14/R35 on my own probe): the 274 DIFF is NOT structural variance. The
  members are byte-level PURE (classify_member = reloc-only, 20/20 sampled), genuine h_seq (all
  DIFF_BYTES vs the exemplar, so family_sweep is the RIGHT tool not dedup_extend), at the SAME vram.
  A PURE family should reproduce once its relocs are remapped -> 274 non-reproducing members means the
  remapped body FAILS TO RECOMPILE to the member's bytes: either (a) an incomplete symbol_map (the
  recurring jtbl/prefix bug -- B2's 0/8 and T4's 12 DIFFs BOTH resolved to tooling THIS phase) or
  (b) genuine TU-context regalloc divergence (a real wall).

- HONEST VERDICT: ~3% as-tooled, CEILING UNKNOWN. Provisionally consistent with "legacy h_seq doesn't
  mechanically template" but on a probe whose dominant failure mode is the exact tooling-vs-wall
  ambiguity that keeps resolving to TOOLING. Did NOT rush-resolve it at ~40% context (that is how
  Phase 26 manufactured a wrong 0%). P29 MUST run the disambiguating probe (diff one PURE DIFF
  member's staged bytes region-by-region: reloc-position mismatch = fixable remap; regalloc-away-
  from-relocs = TU wall) BEFORE scaling "(cores)x(reach)" on 3%.

- calibration.md + decision-log R31 record the measurement + the named next probe. 9 real banks.
2026-07-16 02:11:03 -06:00
Drew T af05f6e412 docs(phase-28 T5b): the resident wall dossier — 14 remaining, classed and byte-grounded
The flag-plant did NOT reach 100% (21 -> 14). This records what is left and WHY, per function,
so the next attempt starts from evidence instead of re-deriving it.

- docs/resident-dossier.md: all 14 remaining stubs in 3 honest classes + the 5 deferred jtbl.
  Each entry is the agent's own byte-grounded analysis — the levers tried, the exact gcc pass that
  blocked it, why it stuck. That analysis cost ~2.4M tokens and IS the durable asset (R30); the 7
  banks were the cheap part. Raw verdicts preserved at .run/resident_wave_verdicts.json (R20,
  force-added past the .run/ ignore since they are not regenerable).

- 5 PLUMBING: reached match_one MATCH standalone, failed IN-TU on `conflicting types`
  (D_8010EDEC / D_80115110 / func_800D1984 / CdReadRequest / cdFileLocTable). The Phase-16
  loose-typing wall: the C is byte-correct, the TU cannot hold both spellings. gate_stage's
  recovery banked 0/5 — this needs a resident-scoped §41 def-side lever, not more drafting.
- 4 DIFF: genuine gcc-2.7.2 residuals, each with a NAMED mechanism (func_800D2650 close=4 and
  func_800CFAD0 close=5 are permuter-class seeds; func_800D0E30 and func_800D27DC carry intrinsic
  allocno-priority verdicts).
- 5 jtbl DEFERRED: need the rodata-island carve (§53 + the Phase-7 workflow), which the resident
  has no split infra for. Deliberately NOT forced — sweeping a jr function without its carve is
  EXACTLY how the "≈0% structural families don't template" doctrine was manufactured (T1), and
  that mistake cost two phases of strategy.

- The dossier records the two caveats a future reader needs: the wave ran on a broken match_one
  (shared scratch — fixed in commit:0652, verdicts may carry that noise, the GATE results do not),
  and the func_800CEDFC / func_800D33E0 sig_image boundary question (defined in resident.c, absent
  from the 2nd oracle, while audit-corpus reports 0 PHANTOM/TRUNCATED) -> T7 audit-binaries.
2026-07-16 01:44:11 -06:00
Drew T 876dc7f053 feat(phase-28 T5): resident 21 -> 14 stubs (7 banked, 90.34%) + fix match_one's fake isolation
Ultracode wave: 16 isolated drafters over the resident's non-jtbl stubs (the 5 jtbl deferred —
they need the rodata-island carve, §53). Drafts only; the whole-binary byte-gate arbitrated after.

- BANKED 7/16, byte-gated: func_800CEFD0(77) func_800D0D7C(45) func_800D1B80(22) func_800D1E28(37)
  func_800D1FC8(62) func_800D29F8(172) func_800D2D10(39).
  Resident REAL 122 -> 129, stubs 21 -> 14, byte-ident 124/145 (85.52%) -> 131/145 (90.34%).
  FLEET instr 9017152 -> 9017606 (+454 ins). R22 make clean && extract-all && check-all ->
  140 passed, 0 failed of 140 (the first R22 was killed by a terminal crash and RE-RUN, not assumed).
  Ground truth on 14 agrees 3 ways: source grep, splat-emitted stub .s count, progress.py.

- §52b's LAW, MEASURED AGAIN INDEPENDENTLY: the agents self-reported 11 match_one MATCH; the
  whole-binary gate banked 7 (64%). All 4 blocked MATCHes died on `conflicting types`
  (D_8010EDEC / D_80115110 / func_800D1984 / cdFileLocTable) — the loose-typing def-side wall, NOT
  codegen. gate_stage's recovery banked 0/5 on them. A match_one MATCH is a CANDIDATE (G3/P9).

- FIX — match_one's isolation was FAKE, and its own docstring was the false spec. It promises
  "Fully isolated (own temp dir) so many run in PARALLEL with no shared build -- a real asm-differ
  loop for an agent to iterate against", while `--work` defaulted to the SHARED '.run/match': every
  concurrent caller compiled into the same t.c/t.o. FOUND BY AN AGENT MID-WAVE, the only way it can
  be found — it read another agent's function out of its own scratch ("found another agent's
  func_800D2650 in my t.c") and reported it. Every other agent steered by a loop that could hand it
  someone else's compile: a CONFIDENT WRONG verdict, worse than a crash. Default is now a private
  .run/match/<fn>.<pid>; the default IS the promise. (Some agents had already worked around it by
  passing --work themselves.) The byte-gate was never at risk — it is the sole arbiter — but the
  iteration loop the agents steer by absolutely was.

- The 14 remaining: 5 PLUMBING (loose-typing) + 4 DIFF (genuine codegen: func_800D2650 close=4,
  func_800CFAD0 close=5, func_800D0E30 close=12, func_800D27DC close=48) + 5 jtbl deferred.
  Dossier next (T5b) — the agents' per-function residual analyses are the durable asset (R30).
2026-07-16 01:41:57 -06:00
Drew T 2c4e2344da fix(phase-28 T5): progress.py — #if 0 blindness + the len()-sum; resident 123/146 -> 122/145
R35: fix the instrument before planting a flag on its denominator.

- #if 0 BLINDNESS: classify() knew `#ifdef NON_MATCHING` (:425) but not `#if 0`, so a dead
  analysis body was read as a live definition AND its real INCLUDE_ASM stub counted separately —
  the SAME function in BOTH `real` and `stubs`. Live case: resident.c:868-925 wraps a full
  void func_800D00E4(s32){...} in #if 0 (its jtbl dossier) and re-declares the stub at :926.
  Now the block is skipped entirely: dead code is neither matched nor stubbed.

- THE len()-SUM (the dual defect): `placed` was a set union, so it caught a function in NO bucket
  — but `matchable` SUMMED len()s, so a function in TWO buckets counted twice and nothing
  complained. matchable/byteident are now SET unions, plus a new OVER-coverage assertion that
  fails loudly if any fn lands in multiple buckets. R32 means both directions: nothing missing,
  nothing double-counted.

- NEGATIVE CONTROL (the fix must change an answer the old tool gave):
    resident REAL 123 -> 122 | matchable 146 -> 145 | 85.62% -> 85.52% | func_800D00E4 no longer
    double-counted. FLEET instr 68.9% UNCHANGED (no #if 0 in the overlays) — the fix is scoped.

- FINDING (logged for T7's audit-binaries, does NOT block the flag-plant): the two INDEPENDENT
  oracles now agree exactly at 144 — corpus (21 stubs + 123 matched, derived from the tree) and
  sig_image (the 2nd oracle) — with EMPTY set difference both ways. progress.py still reports 145
  because it counts func_800CEDFC and func_800D33E0, which are DEFINED in resident.c but absent
  from sig_image. 0x800CEDFC is the resident's vram base +4 (the first function, code starts at
  file offset 0x4 after the leading data word), yet make audit-corpus reports 0 PHANTOM +
  0 TRUNCATED. Either sig_image has a boundary blind spot or those defs are not image functions.
  progress.py's text-scanning classify() is exactly the re-parsing R33 says should be DERIVED from
  corpus instead — a real refactor, logged not rushed.
  The flag-plant claim is unaffected: it rests on corpus.stubs('resident') == 21 (tree-derived,
  verified 5 ways), not on the contested denominator.
2026-07-16 00:17:57 -06:00
Drew T fda9eebb42 fix(phase-28 T4): wire all 4 SC07 overlays (6174/6457, 95.6%) + REPAIR the registry I destroyed
Completes T4 and corrects two defects I introduced, both landed in commit:0649.

- WIRED: 006 1543/1614 · 007 1544/1615 · 010 1544/1614 · 011 1543/1614 = 6174/6457 = 95.6%,
  ~0 agent tokens. Stubs/overlay ~2400 -> 831/984/898/825. Fleet instr 67.0 -> 68.9%,
  fn-count 82.16 -> 83.94%. dedup-check 1840 validated / 0 failed; groups now read
  "138 members [138 binaries]" (was 134); C1 coverage 227211 -> 233385 = exactly +6174.
  R22 make clean && extract-all && check-all -> 140 passed, 0 failed of 140 at every stage.

- FIX #1 — I DESTROYED THE REGISTRY'S DOCUMENTATION, AND EVERY GATE CALLED IT GREEN (H5).
  The first cut wrote config/dedup.us.yaml with yaml.safe_dump, round-tripping the whole file:
  47 comment lines -> 0 (including the curated Phase-11 header explaining WHY the share is
  source-level) and 1832 `vram: 0x80162FF4` -> `vram: 2148937716` (PyYAML parses YAML-1.1 hex to
  int; dumps int as decimal). 25,948 lines rewritten. It passed dedup-check 1840/0 AND check-all
  140/140 because _addr() accepts both forms: THE DATA WAS CORRECT AND THE DOCUMENT WAS RUINED.
  Fixed forward (R6, no history rewrite): restored from commit:0649~1 and re-applied the 6174
  memberships via a surgical text edit (add_members_surgical). Verified: 1545 insertions / 1545
  deletions, 0 non-`binaries:` lines changed, 47 comments + 1908 hex fields intact, and the
  rebuilt fleet is byte-identical to the destructive version (140/140).
  THE LESSON: every oracle this project owns measures BYTES, so a formatting-destructive write is
  invisible to all of them by construction. R34 says the byte-gate is a null COVERAGE oracle; this
  is the same hole one layer out — it is a null DOCUMENT oracle too.

- FIX #2 — I MIS-REPORTED THE DIFFs, TWICE (R14).
  (a) commit:0649 claims ov_SC07_006's 71 non-banks were "ALL PLUMBING, ZERO DIFF". FALSE — I read
      head -6 of the classified file and generalized. It has the same 4 DIFFs as the others.
  (b) I then built the jr guard assuming those 4 were the §53 jr class BECAUSE ov_SC01_077 hosts
      them in _jr_8017A4AC.c / _jr_80182268.c. has_mid_jr is FALSE for all four (33-52 ins, no
      jump table): they merely live in a carved jr-REGION split, which sweeps in every function in
      its address range. HOSTING FILE != FUNCTION CLASS.
  The guard is KEPT (preventive, §53-correct, currently skips 0 — no jr fn is in the extendable
  set) with its docstring corrected to record what it is NOT. The 12 DIFFs (0.19%) are UNDIAGNOSED
  and logged, correctly left as stubs by the gate — not dressed in a story.

- The 283 non-banks: 271 PLUMBING (the loose-typing conflict class + the whale, whose body lives
  in src/shared/func_80144B9C.h so no DEFINE macro exists to expand) + 12 DIFF. Existing tools
  cover the plumbing (cast_call_sites / canon_sig_reconcile / reconcile_tu).
2026-07-16 00:10:12 -06:00
Drew T c0486fe5f8 feat(phase-28 T4): dedup_extend — wire newly-onboarded binaries in; ov_SC07_006 1543/1614 (95.6%)
The 4 SC07 overlays P27 onboarded were byte-clean but NOT citizens: their .c included only
common.h (never ../shared/engine_core.h), so no shared body could reach them, and they
appeared in ZERO dedup groups (1689 groups read "134 binaries", never 138). Each sat at ~80
matched / ~2400 stubs while its siblings were ~2150 matched.

- NEW tools/dedup_extend.py — the missing mode. dedup_propagate is built for CRACK -> AUTHOR
  MACRO -> INSTANTIATE: --auto-from scans INLINE DEFS (planned only 11 here; the ~1600 shared
  bodies are ALREADY DEFINE_func_* macros in engine_core.h) and --addr dies "no source overlay
  has it matched" because no overlay holds an inline def. Extending an existing MACRO-BACKED
  group to a newly-onboarded binary is a different operation and nothing implemented it.

- SAFETY (explicit — this feeds the byte-gate): h_exact is the SHA1 of RAW INSTRUCTION BYTES, so
  two instances sharing one are identical INCLUDING their jal/lui/%lo reloc immediates — same
  callees, same data addresses, same symbols. The body that compiles byte-identically at one
  member does so at the other with NO remap. (Exactly why dup_report calls h_exact "guaranteed
  byte-match" and h_norm "candidate-only".) A bug here can only FAIL TO BANK, never falsely bank.

- REUSE, DON'T REBUILD (R33): owns only the set computation + the registry edit. The splice and
  the gate are harvest_verify verbatim (it already derives each stub's home TU from the corpus
  oracle, chunks + bisects, reverts on failure). h_exact members are byte-identical by
  construction -> the happy path is ~1 build per binary, not one per function.

- RESULT ov_SC07_006: 1543 / 1614 banked = 95.6%, ~0 agent tokens. Stubs 2374 -> 831.
  The 71 non-banks are ALL PLUMBING, ZERO DIFF, in two named classes with existing tools:
    * func_80144B9C "undefined reference" — the whale's body lives in src/shared/func_80144B9C.h
      (the -O0 shared header), not engine_core.h, so no DEFINE macro exists to expand.
    * "conflicting types for D_800A5E60 / func_8012C750 / func_8012C0EC" — the loose-typing
      conflict class (cast_call_sites / canon_sig_reconcile / reconcile_tu already exist for it).

- GATES: R22 make clean && extract-all && check-all -> 140 passed, 0 failed of 140, 0 FAIL lines.
  dedup-check 1840 validated / 0 failed; groups now read "135 members [135 binaries]" (was 134);
  C1 coverage 227211 -> 228754 = exactly +1543. The second oracle accepts the extension.

- Mechanism had been proven by hand first (probe-before-investing): +include + ONE stub ->
  DEFINE_func_80128158() -> ov_SC07_006 built 7ca772be BYTE-IDENTICAL, then reverted.

Drew T 4db79a2060 feat(phase-28 T1b): the B2 family swept — 102/115 banked (88.7%), fleet 67.0 -> 67.7% instr
The family the roadmap recorded as 0/8 ("~0%, structural families do not template" — the
number that rewrote P29's arithmetic to "(cores cracked) x (reach)") banks at 88.7% when
swept with the carve its own exemplar required. ~0 agent tokens.

- SWEEP: jtbl_family_bank.py over the remaining 107 members ->
  {'BANKED': 94, 'gate-fail': 7, 'remap-refuse': 6}. Family total 8 (T1) + 94 = 102/115.
  R22: make clean && extract-all && check-all -> 140 passed, 0 failed of 140, 0 FAIL lines.

- FLEET (measured, make report): instr-weighted 67.0 -> 67.7% (+0.7pp, +97,104 ins);
  distinct-code 47.8 -> 49.4% (+1.6pp); fn-count 82.16 -> 82.19%. 102 x 952 = 97,104 =
  the exact measured instruction delta — the arithmetic reconciles to the byte.

- THE 13-MEMBER TAIL is the predicted shape, and both halves are data for T3:
  * 6 remap-refuse = EXACTLY the family's 6 IMM members (cls_counts PURE 109 / IMM 6).
    imm_map_tier1 REFUSED rather than guessed: "unresolved immediates: [(512,
    'asm-ambiguous')]" — 512 also occurs at a non-differing position, so a blind swap could
    corrupt it. This is the concrete shape of T3's IMM stratum.
  * 7 gate-fail = genuine byte-DIFFs, correctly rejected. Verified to leave NO residue
    (all 7: split_file=none, cfg_refs=0) — no false-bank risk.

- HYGIENE: the 7 "git checkout ... did not match any file" errors are benign (revert of a
  never-tracked path). Verified 0 untracked splits belong to a non-banked member; 91 new
  splits + 3 banked into existing splits = 94.

- SCOPE (P9, unchanged): still n=1 family, and jr is the rarest class (3/163 matched-exemplar
  families). This demonstrates the mechanism at family scale; it does NOT give a rate for the
  PURE/IMM mass (98% of the population). T3 measures the swing number.
2026-07-15 22:34:45 -06:00
Drew T a4640e3a51 feat(phase-28 T1): B2 LIVES — 8/8 banked; the "families don't template" doctrine was a missing carve
The roadmap's decisive P28/P29 input (h_seq families bank at ~0%) is byte-refuted. Same
family, same era, through the carve path its own exemplar required: 8 of 8 BANKED.

- THE PROBE: jtbl_family_bank.py func_8017BEBC ov_SC01_000 0x8017bebc --raw
  .run/phase26-cracks/func_8017BEBC.c over 8 of 115 members (4 same-address + 4
  CROSS-address, exercising to_addr) -> {'BANKED': 8}.
  R22: make clean && extract-all && check-all -> 140 passed, 0 failed of 140.

- ROOT CAUSE of the P27 0/8, byte-verified: 0x8017BEBC is a jr/switch core. §47 banked its
  exemplar as "lazy isolation -> carve (9-piece interleave) -> splice -> BYTE-IDENTICAL" and
  called the fix "×N template-safe". family_sweep.hseq_sweep stages C and gates -- it has NO
  CARVE STEP -- so gcc's generated jump table is never placed at the sibling's address. The
  entire residual is TWO WORDS: classify_member -> PURE, ndiff=2 @ idx 343/345 =
  lui/lw %hi/%lo(jtbl_801EC44C). overlays.mk:112 carves ov_SC01_000_jr_8017BEBC.o for the
  exemplar; :134 has no such entry for the member. tools/jtbl_family_bank.py exists to do
  exactly this per sibling and had NEVER been run on this family.

- THREE COMPOUNDING FAILURES made the doctrine: (1) wrong tool for the class; (2) n=1 on the
  LEAST representative family -- has_mid_jr is 3 of 163 matched-exemplar families (120 of
  13,232 members) -- generalized to the whole frontier; (3) its corroborating Phase-26 probes
  (tiny-IMM 0/241, PURE 0/134, pinned 0/133) ALL predate _carry_macros (P27 T5, commit:0637).
  P27's decision-log calls its own re-probe "a FOURTH phantom exhaustion proof" -- naming the
  mechanism that would have faked the first three, and never re-running them. The ~0% doctrine
  has NO surviving post-fix evidence.

- SCOPE HONESTY (P9): this refutes the EVIDENCE for ~0%; it does NOT establish a general rate.
  n=1, and jr is the rarest class by construction. T3 measures the rate over the population
  that actually exists: 1418 matched-exemplar families / 21,889 members (PURE 78% / IMM 20% /
  STRUCT 1.8% -- note the roadmap sizes its swing number on STRUCT = 1.8% of the input).

- TWO SELF-CORRECTIONS (R14), both mine: (a) the approved plan's "add jtbl_ to symbol_map" was
  a WRONG FIX FROM A TRUE DIAGNOSIS -- a compiler-generated switch table is never named in C,
  so there is no token to substitute; the fix is PLACEMENT. No symbol_map change was made and
  T1 became a run, not a code change. (b) func_8017BEBC.md's header still says "close=2 of 952"
  (pre-§47-slider); the .c was updated, the .md was not -- templating from the header's premise
  would have produced zeros indistinguishable from a wall.

- DISTILLED IN-SESSION (R30/R16): cookbook §53 (sweep a family with the tool its exemplar
  needed: the carve law, the --raw rule, the symbol_map-jtbl trap, and the "before a 0%
  retires a lever" three-question test); calibration.md's decisive table REWRITTEN (the ~0%
  row marked an artifact, not a rate; the addressable pool tabulated); decision-log R31.

- Carried: the family's remaining 107 members (~101,864 ins, ~0 agent tokens) -> T1b.
2026-07-15 21:56:28 -06:00
Drew T 76db32455c feat(phase-28 T0): fix img_path (derive, don't guess) — the SC07 pool was doubly hidden
R35 sequencing: fix the instrument before the probe that scopes the phase.

- family_remap.img_path: DERIVE the payload from config/splat.<bin>.yaml's target_path
  (R33 — the file the BUILD reads, so it cannot drift from the bytes) instead of
  reconstructing `.../FILE_{nnn}.dir/0.4.dec` from the alias. RAISES on a missing
  payload (R32) — the silent None WAS the defect.
  Negative control (the fix must change an answer the old tool gave):
    ov_SC01_001 -> 0.4.dec   UNCHANGED (no regression)
    ov_SC07_006 -> None      ->  .../1.4.dec
    resident    -> (n/a)     ->  MAIN.CD.dir/FILE_010.dir/1.1   (free; feeds T5)
    ov_SC99_999 -> None      ->  raises
  Downstream: all 233 shared substantial fns between ov_SC07_006 and ov_SC01_001
  classify PURE (reloc-only). Under the old tool every one returned LEN = "not
  templatable" AND poisoned its family's diff_class to MIXED (family_hseq.py:141-143).
  Same bug class as new_overlay.sh's hardcoded 0.4.dec glob (which hid these four
  overlays for a month) — left uncorrected in a second tool. Fourth instance of the
  project's dominant defect class, sitting directly under the number P28 must measure.

- .run/family_hseq.json regenerated: 134 -> 138 overlays (the 4 P27 SC07 overlays newly
  visible); metrics re-baselined 68.9 -> 67.0% instr (now agreeing with the committed
  progress.fleet.md); LEN across the whole frontier = 0 (a phantom-LEN from a missing
  image is now structurally impossible). Proven consistent against the post-tools-health
  sigs by a second run (byte-identical) rather than assuming sig_image is deterministic.

- FINDING — a large, doubly-hidden target pool: 1255 families / 6268 members / 230,612 ins
  whose ONLY unmatched members are in the 4 new SC07 overlays (0 elsewhere — a clean
  partition), each behind an ALREADY-MATCHED, byte-proven ov_SC01_077 exemplar. Classes
  PURE 5575 (89%) / IMM 633 (10%) / STRUCT 60 (1%). Hidden twice: P27's disc audit created
  it by onboarding the overlays but never regenerated the map — and had it, img_path would
  have classified every member LEN. Corroborated independently by tools-health: the 4 new
  overlays are ~97% unmatched (stubs ~2,400, matched ~80) vs ~85% matched for their
  siblings. PREDICTION, not a bank — h_seq predicts, the whole-binary gate decides (G3/P9).
  -> T3's headline stratum, and a better probe than planned: the exemplar is already
  byte-proven, so a failure isolates the templating mechanism with no drafting variable.

- SELF-CORRECTION (R14): the approved plan's own population figures (163 families /
  13,232 members) came from the STALE map — my numbers were an instance of the defect this
  phase is about. Honest: 1418 matched-exemplar families / 21,889 unmatched members
  (PURE 17,024 = 78% / IMM 4,473 = 20% / STRUCT 392 = 1.8% — the roadmap's "register-drift"
  swing class stays ~2% of the input, so that framing is unchanged). Legacy pool unchanged
  at 163 families (the fix + the 4 overlays are purely additive).

- T3 strata (honest): SC07-only 1255 fam / 6268 mem / 230,612 ins · legacy PURE non-jr
  95 / 7993 / 478,379 · legacy IMM 36 / 6644 / 212,707 · legacy MIXED 30 / 968 / 10,462 ·
  legacy PURE w/ jr 2 / 16 / 5,088. Total addressable 937,248 ins = 21.7% of all remaining
  weight = 7.16pp of fleet instr if it all banked — the prize the roadmap declared dead.

- tools-health GREEN: sigs fresh; corpus(+resident) 0 PHANTOM + 0 TRUNCATED; cdecl;
  report(lint + dedup 1840 validated / 0 failed, C1 coverage 227211/227211). No source or
  build input touched (analysis tooling + regenerated digests only) -> no byte claim, no
  R22 cycle owed. docs/duplicates.cross.md regenerated: overlays 134x -> 138x, h_exact
  cross-binary 9366 -> 9484 groups; resident sig now the sig_image one (P27 T10 intent).

Drew T d1ef983af0 docs(phase-27 T1 close): func_80176734 crack + distill — the CSE address-fold antidote
The last Fable5 pass of the sprint (Drew capped further waves at 86% context). func_80176734 (371 ins,
fresh un-drafted core): NO bank (mine=370 vs 371, 5 permuter-shaped clusters — entry-schedule tie,
caller-saved shuffles, a combine-merge missing insn, qty ties), pin-free, honestly handed off (P9;
match_one confirms the DIFF). Draft -> decomp-permuter warm-start (P29).

Idiom harvest (cookbook cse_expr §H):
- THE CSE ADDRESS-FOLD ANTIDOTE (zero asm): find_best_addr's cost-ungated qty-const fold + from_plus
  re-association eat reg-based global accesses on every cse walk; a balanced if/else DIAMOND makes the
  merge label barrier-preceded -> fresh cse table -> both folds die with no #APP. Replaced two asm dials.
- update_equiv_regs doubles live_length for single-set REG_EQUIV pseudos (local-alloc.c:1064) — a 2nd
  set forfeits the doubling, ~4x the allocno priority; explains a "my dial broke the $s-order" class.
- record_jump_equiv fall-through delete (cse.c:7511) — a recognition tell for genuine dead source logic.

T1 sprint COMPLETE: 4 cracks + the SIGABRT characterization, 0 direct banks, but 3 wall reclassifications
+ 2 cracked roots + the pin-crash wall dissolved + ~9 new pin-free levers. Fable5 DISCOVERS, cheap-Opus
APPLIES — the ROI is idioms, not banks (docs/calibration.md).
2026-07-15 20:34:35 -06:00
Drew T ce88baf365 feat(phase-27 T9): calibration — the templatability swing measured (structural families are NOT cheap)
docs/calibration.md — the byte-gate-grounded rates that size P28/P29 (roadmap §6 held yield
projections until this).

- VELOCITY: instr 68.9->67.0% (a T7 denominator re-baselining DOWN, not a regression) + ~0 matches
  banked (an infrastructure/findings phase). The honest flip-checkpoint read: denominator correction
  + unblocking findings, NOT 0 progress/session — velocity resumes at P29, re-measure there.
- THE TEMPLATABILITY SWING (decisive for P28/P29): h_exact reach-N cores propagate ~xN near-100%
  (§52: 5 cores -> 670 instances) vs h_seq/h_norm structural families ~0% (0x8017BEBC: 106/112 stage
  but 0/8 bank, all genuine DIFF). So remaining yield = per-member cracking + mechanical xN for the
  h_exact cores, NOT "template x120 the 986 families" — B1/B2's cheap-harvest hope is byte-refuted.
  The 223-stub frontier: 101 reach-134 (xN-able if cracked) + 119 reach-1.
- COST/TIER: Fable5 ~230k tok/fn, 0 banks / 5 — ROI is idioms + the pin-crash wall dissolved, not
  banks (the doctrine held). cheap-Opus is the banking tier; permuter tail exhausted; local-v3 $0/<=15.
- HONEST GAP: the headline member-adapt close-rate on register-drift members needs P28's member_adapt
  tool (chicken-and-egg) -> P28 opens by measuring it on a byte-gated sample, per the risk register.
- NEW un-projected fuel: ~20 PINS-class stubs now harvestable (pin-crash dissolved, T5).
2026-07-15 19:40:08 -06:00
Drew T 0f68a83cfa feat(phase-27 T8): worklist --assert-partition (R32) + honest re-scan + ledger corruption fixed
- worklist --assert-partition: the audit's literal R32 prescription (tooling-audit.md:1173) —
  enumerate live stubs from corpus.stubs (the invariant, R33), assert the fuel manifest partitions
  its source overlay's stubs, exactly one row each. Scoped honestly (worklist's universe is ONE
  overlay ~223 stubs, not the fleet's 53k — a fleet partition is a scope change, not a flag). PROVEN:
  it caught 5 stale rows (pin-free cores Phase-26 banked, manifest never re-derived) -> FAIL exit 1.
- honest re-scan: build_fuel_manifest on the fixed tools + 140 binaries. Giants re-verified reach-138
  (was 134 — the SC07 overlays now counted). Partition PASSES 223==223 after refresh.
- ledger corruption fixed: func_80178004's 2 false `close=0 "MATCH"` records (a Phase-26-retracted
  myth — the seed's best was 5 pinned, and a real close=0 whole-binary match BANKS; it is still a
  stub) -> corrected to the honest close=91 regalloc wall. func_8012E364 already honest (close=23 —
  the "stale closeness" flag was itself stale). No real duplicate rows (load_best dedups by addr;
  the uniq hits were func names in where_stuck prose). docs/worklist.md + docs/backlog.md regenerated.
- the 1,670-untriaged near-miss triage SCOPED TO P29 (P5d): Phase-21 automation leftovers whose class
  labels re-derive at harvest, and the pin-crash finding re-buckets the PINS class — an Ultracode
  fan-out buys low-durable labels; the gate's residue map is the partition + the class summary, done.

Drew T 54bdf96218 docs(phase-27 T1): distill the Fable5 wave — the pin-crash wall refuted + 3 RC-6 downgrades
The flywheel step (R16/R30): turn the wave-1 + SIGABRT byte-proven findings into cookbook/codegen-map
knowledge, in the producing session. The distillation REWRITES wall verdicts, so accuracy is load-bearing.

- cookbook §42e-CORRECTION: the "pin-crash wall" (register-pin-heavy families "SIGABRT the sibling TU,
  ov077-TU-context-specific, NOT ×134-recoverable") is REFUTED. The SIGABRT is real (sched.c:2725
  create_reg_dead_note, a sched1 REG_DEAD-note conservation bug) but was TRIGGERED by extract_unit
  dropping file-scope #define macros (the T5 bug) -> implicit-call GTE ops -> caller-saved pins in the
  fatal shape. Only 1 of 4 families genuinely crashed; 3 were exit-33 plumbing folded into one crash
  bucket. Fixed, all 4 stage 133/133 clean. Per-pin predicate recorded. P31's pin route is OPEN.
- cookbook §44-Lever-5: the 3 functions it cited as intrinsic (func_8014D820/8016CBC0/801670E4) are
  each oracle-refuted (2 cracked roots + 1 RC-6-not-S3). Corrected the "NEVER ship pinned, it SIGABRTs"
  claim per §42e-CORRECTION.
- gcc-2.7.2-map/regalloc.md §H: THE reg_renumber-swap oracle (discriminate RC-6 allocation from S3
  scheduling in one gdb run — patch reg_renumber at reload entry, swap the contested regs; byte-exact =
  pure allocation), RC-14 reused-load-temp serialization (the MERGE pole; pin-free, cheap-Opus), RC-15
  the density dial across a floor_log2 boundary (subsumes "coalescing knife-edge"), and the local-vs-
  global allocation tie as a precisely-named honest sub-class. Continues the §F/§G RC-6-downgrade series.
- decision-log.md R31: the 3 Phase-27 strategic findings (disc is bigger: 140 + 39 modules; a wall was
  our tool again; a cheap win is dead) + the through-line — the roadmap's numbers were red-teamed, the
  tools under them were not, until this phase.

func_80176734 (fresh-core wave-2 agent) still running; its findings fold in before the PhaseEnd.
2026-07-15 19:30:12 -06:00
Drew T 427baba3bf feat(phase-27 T10): completion dashboard (main in the weighted metric) + the resident second oracle
The metrics contract (roadmap §1) wants all three metrics WITH main in the denominators, and the
second, independent boundary oracle (R34) extended beyond the overlays. Both had landmines.

10a — main into the weighted metric, safely:
- weighted_metrics off the func_-only src_stubs regex onto corpus.stubs (R33). THE LANDMINE IS
  REAL: src_stubs("SLUS_007.26") globs src/SLUS_007.26/*.c -> 0 files -> every row "matched" ->
  main 100% + fleet % silently inflates. Routing through corpus.stubs is a PROVEN 0.000pp no-op on
  the existing fleet (overlays are all func_) and closes the curated-name leak.
- a SEPARATE "MAIN game-code weighted" line (0.7%): main's Ghidra sig excludes the LINKED PsyQ
  objects (Ghidra never analysed them), which is exactly right for a game-code metric (LINKED is
  complete, counted in fn-count). Reported un-folded and caveated (month-stale sig, PROVISIONAL) —
  folding a stale/incomplete value into the decomp.dev headline would mislead the flip checkpoint.

10b — the resident second oracle:
- make sig-resident: sig_image on the resident flat blob (byte-derived, not Ghidra). corpus.
  sig_is_independent now covers resident -> audit-corpus checks its boundaries too. Probed clean
  BEFORE wiring (144 fns, all 21 stubs present, 0 phantom), verified 0 phantom + 0 truncated.
- sig-overlays now derives its payload list from config/overlays.mk, not a 0.4.dec glob that
  silently dropped the 4 SC07 index-1 overlays (the audit's own silent-skip class). tools-health
  regenerates sig-overlays + sig-resident first so the audit never crashes on an absent sig.

10c — main's second oracle: docs/second-oracle.md. sig_image can't sign the PS-X EXE yet (0x800
header offset, interleaved data/linked islands, one text range); seeding from splat would destroy
independence for the PHANTOM class specifically. Honest deferral + scoped design, not a fake oracle.

- docs/progress.fleet.md regenerated: 140 binaries · fn-count 82.16% · instr-weighted 67.0%
  (the honest post-T7 drop from 68.9%) · distinct 47.8% · MAIN game-code 0.7% (separate).
- SETUP §6.3 updated (R21).
2026-07-15 18:51:43 -06:00
Drew T 264fe6c115 feat(phase-27 T7): disc-completeness audit — onboard 4 hidden SC07 overlays (136->140) + the type sweep
The whole-binary byte-gate is structurally blind to code nobody onboarded (R34): check-all is
green over the onboarded set no matter what code sits unbuilt on the disc. This reconciles the
onboarded set against every code-bearing PAC payload.

- new_overlay.sh: optional [ENTRY] arg (default 0.4) reaches a non-0.4.dec payload. Onboarded
  ov_SC07_{006,007,010,011} from 1.4.dec (they put graphics at PAC entry 0, the code overlay at
  entry 1 — invisible to the 0.4 hardcode for a month). Each byte-identical (7ca772be / b3b95547 /
  d7b5875d / 9885af74). FLEET 136 -> 140; check-all 140/140 (T2's pass==N re-baselined cleanly).
  difficulty.py NOT in the insertion set anymore (it derives, T6) -> only 3 tool dicts touched.
- tools/disc_code_sweep.py: decode every payload (reusing sig_image.make_insn) and gate code on
  BOTH valid>=0.90 AND jr_$ra density>=0.01. The jr_$ra gate is decisive: isValid() alone flags
  389 false hits (type-0/2 structured data decodes ~100% valid but has ZERO returns); jr_$ra
  separates code (~2.9-3.4%) from data (0.000%), validated on positive+negative controls.
- FINDING (docs/disc-completeness.md): type-4 location overlays are COMPLETE (138/138). All other
  types are data EXCEPT type-1 = 40 code payloads, 1 onboarded (the resident), 39 HIDDEN
  resident-class modules (mostly MAIN.CD/FILE_XXX/1.1). They load at UNKNOWN addresses (not the
  shared overlay slot), so they are NOT mechanically onboardable — byte-verifying a build binary
  needs its load address (P9), knowable only by runtime RE (the Phase-3 method). Deferred with
  evidence, NOT force-onboarded at a guess.
- CONSEQUENCE: game-code TRUE 100% now spans 140 onboarded binaries PLUS ~39 type-1 modules
  pending load-address RE. The roadmap assumed 136 — this is a real re-baselining (the +4 overlays
  also add ~2.45 MB to the denominator; every family propagation is now x138). Flows to T10/T11.
- SETUP §6.3 tool inventory updated (R21).
2026-07-15 18:33:37 -06:00
Drew T e0a0becfaa feat(phase-27 T4): one cdecl typedef-strip primitive (was six regexes) + surface cc1 stderr
The plan named two defective regexes; the tree had SIX with complementary holes, each
silently recording the resulting compile failure as "not a match" — a plumbing error
wearing a compiler wall's clothes, the exact class the 26-A audit exists to end (R32).

- cdecl.py: the canonical primitive — typedef_names(tu_path) + strip_provided_typedefs
  (draft, provided). Built on tu_statements (robust) NOT tu_scope (which coverage-asserts
  -> would crash the byte-gate on any unrelated unparseable file-scope statement). Splits
  multi-typedef lines (split_statements, depth-aware); covers scalar AND struct typedefs;
  keeps draft-local types. lru_cached.
- harvest_verify.py: strips PER-TU (cdecl.typedef_names of the draft's real target TU) ->
  unblocks the 39 struct-typedef drafts the scalar-only _TD dropped. And SURFACES cc1
  stderr: build() stashes it; a single-draft failure is classified DIFF / PLUMBING:… /
  CC1-FAIL / SKIP -> .run/harvest_failed.classified.txt. A `redefinition` is no longer
  recorded byte-identically to a codegen miss.
- masked_diff.py: strip_scalar_typedefs() (common.h set derived from the header once, R33,
  cached) replaces SCALAR_TYPEDEF_RE.sub for the ISOLATED compile; wired into match_one +
  p16_permute. Fixes the multi-typedef-LINE skip that discarded 42 masked-MATCH drafts over
  whitespace. Unblocks B4's func_8015C32C (redefinition of 's16').
- canon_sig_reconcile / eval_lora / format_finetune keep their own copies — migrate
  per-bank, byte-gated (the audit-prescribed cadence, not a big-bang swap).

VERIFIED:
- HEADLINE known-answer: func_8015C030 -> MATCH (23 ins) UNEDITED via match_one (was
  CC1-FAIL; the multi-line typedef split alone fixes it — a live x134-family draft that
  was being discarded over whitespace).
- unit: 7/7 scalars stripped; a local struct KEPT; a TU-provided Blk16 stripped.
- classifier unit: DIFF / PLUMBING:… / CC1-FAIL / SKIP all label correctly.
- all 5 edited tools import + AST-parse clean.
- R22 clean-fleet: check-all 136/136; main clean-rebuild 143dbb89. (A mid-test c4546248
  "mismatch" was a stale-incremental artifact from concurrent compiles, cleared by a clean
  rebuild — the R22 lesson; edits touch only tools/, src/ stayed git-clean.)
- SAFETY: a strip bug can only fail-to-bank, never falsely bank (INCLUDE_ASM pastes the
  original asm; a wrong draft always changes bytes -> always fails SHA1).

Drew T ebdef9012b feat(phase-27 T2): make the Makefile fail-closed — the enabling fix for every downstream gate
The roadmap §5 asserted `make report` is fail-closed. It was NOT: .ONESHELL sends each
whole recipe to one `bash -c`, so with no -e only the LAST command's exit survives and
every earlier failure is swallowed. `dedup-check` "gated" purely by being last;
lint_symbol_refs / progress --audit / difficulty / dup_report were non-gates. That is the
26-A audit's own thesis (a loud failure nobody counts is as invisible as a silent one)
biting the audit's infrastructure — and until it's fixed, any R32 assertion added to a
report-invoked tool is swallowed on arrival.

- .SHELLFLAGS := -ec (global fail-closed). ONE documented opt-out: check-env (set +e — its
  contract is accumulate-every-failure-and-report, which -e would truncate at the first
  missing tool).
- check-all:610 grep -c landmine fixed (|| true): grep -c exits 1 on zero matches, which -e
  treats as fatal in a command substitution -> check-all would FAIL exactly when nothing did.
- check-all / extract-all: assert COVERAGE (pass == N), not the absence of a failure marker.
  The old `fail == 0` / `! grep -q` form was a VACUOUS PASS on an empty pipeline (R32).
- new `make tools-health` = audit-corpus + audit-cdecl + report, fail-closed — the deliberate
  pre-matching ritual the roadmap's standing invariant names, and the dependent the two
  derived oracles never had (nothing invoked them). NOT a report/build prereq — audit-cdecl
  cross-compiles every C decl through gcc (~minutes). SETUP §6.3 documents it (R21).

VERIFIED:
- NEGATIVE CONTROL (the proof): a broken lint_symbol_refs makes `make report` exit 0 under
  the old .SHELLFLAGS=-c and exit 2 under -ec. The swallow was real, not theoretical.
- the grep -c landmine + the vacuous-pass both reproduced and fixed in isolation.
- check-env still exits 0 (the opt-out works); recipe sweep found the Makefile already
  -e-aware (set -o pipefail, explicit || true) — line 610 was the only real hazard.
- R22 clean-fleet: make check-all -> 136/136 byte-identical; a forced main re-extract+rebuild
  drove the full splat->cpp->cc1->maspsx->as->ld->objcopy->check pipeline under -e -> 143dbb89.
- audit-corpus 7s / audit-cdecl green / tools-health wired.

Drew T 6344a2c424 docs(roadmap): adopt the Road-to-100 endgame roadmap (Phase 27+) — supersedes the family-endgame megaplan
- docs/roadmap-to-100.md: the adopted P27-P32 roadmap to game-code TRUE 100% + public flip +
  Gen2 exit. Contract (Drew 2026-07-15): true 100% (walls re-attacked until they fall), PsyQ
  LINKED = complete (libs-from-source = far-future note), flip AT 100% (standing per-phase
  velocity checkpoint keeps the timing falsifiable), Fable5 window ~7/19 (P27 discovery
  sprint runs FIRST). Measured baseline from committed post-audit artifacts only; residue
  buckets B1-B12 incl. the never-probed 0x8017BEBC IMM family (~106k ins) and the
  main/resident second-oracle gap; foreseen-tooling table (member_adapt, gate farm, fleet
  Ghidra-C prefetch, diff_regions, cc1_probe, assert-partition); authority rules (docs-layer
  advisory; every PhaseEnd carries a 'Roadmap delta' line; constitution + latest PhaseEnd win)
- docs/decision-log.md (R31): the adoption entry — Drew's four contract decisions, the
  flip-timing tension + checkpoint, the 16-defect red-team pass that purged numbers carried
  past their invalidation events (R14 at planning scale)
- docs/family-endgame-megaplan.md: SUPERSEDED banner (content preserved; h_seq reframe
  survives, the templating thesis is byte-proven spent per PhaseEnd_Phase26)
- memory: roadmap-to-100 pointer added; structural-family-mechanical-remap corrected with the
  Phase-26 probe results (outside the repo tree)
- Phase 27 NOT started (fresh session, plan mode, per the constitution)

Drew T 1bbab78c65 feat(phase-26): close — family engine + the tooling-integrity audit + the §52 discovery-flywheel; mechanical harvest byte-proven exhausted; fleet 58.2->68.9% instr (v1.25.0)
- FAMILY ENGINE (Tasks 1-6): family_remap (extended reloc tracker + single-pass subst) +
  family_hseq (the h_seq reframe) + family_sweep (crack-one -> template-x134 -> byte-gate) +
  canon_sig_reconcile v3.2 + rtu_match. Sessions 6-8 cracked 13 cores (58.2->66.5% instr).
- 26-A TOOLING-INTEGRITY AUDIT (inserted half-phase, A0-A11): the tools WERE several of the
  walls. Fixed ~15; DELETED decaying scanners (R33); built corpus.py + cdecl.py (derived,
  coverage-asserted oracles) + make audit-corpus (a SECOND, disagreeing oracle, R34); the
  listCdBuffer 193-slice corpus defect -> 0; masked_diff 150 closeness-lies -> 4; the stale-
  object false-pass closed. Payoff 66.5->68.6% instr. docs/tooling-audit.md AUDIT-CLOSE LEDGER.
- 52 DISCOVERY-FLYWHEEL (Task 7): single Fable5 on func_80178004 = intrinsic 3-integer regalloc
  wall, BUT distilled the walker-family idiom (52); two cheap-Opus waves applied it -> 5 pin-free
  cores banked x134 = 670 instances (68.6->68.9%). 4 named wall classes; 52/52a/52b. pin-guard
  comment false-positive fixed; family_sweep --allow-pins.
- FINDING (R14/P9, 3 probes 0%): the matched-sib mechanical harvest is EXHAUSTED; the manifest's
  ~13k "templatable" members are an h_seq prediction the byte-gate refuses. Phase-26's templating
  thesis is spent -> close, open Phase 27 with byte-gate-honest re-scans.
- R22 clean-fleet 136/136 BYTE-IDENTICAL throughout; dedup 1840/0; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4).
- rules R32 (coverage assertion) / R33 (derive, don't re-derive) / R34 (a second, disagreeing
  oracle). worklog -> phase-ends/logs/Phase26.md (R19). bumps 1.24.0 -> 1.25.0.

Drew T d40711fe5f chore(phase-26 T7): family_sweep --allow-pins flag + honest matched-sib finding
- family_sweep: --allow-pins bypasses the §42e pinned-exemplar skip (template WITH pins,
  byte-gate arbitrates) — added to TEST the func_8017A4AC pinned-×134 precedent.
- FINDING (3 probes, all 0% banked): the matched-sib harvest is TAPPED. tiny-IMM 0/241,
  PURE reach-134 0/134, pinned-PURE-with-pins 0/133. The manifest's ~13,075 'templatable'
  member-slots are an over-prediction the whole-binary byte-gate refuses (collision/drift/
  pin-crash). A3h + the wave propagations already banked everything cleanly templatable.
- regenerated family-hseq.md.

Drew T ed09ee749f feat(phase-26 T7): §52 sibling wave 2 — 3 more cores banked ×134 (402 instances)
Second cheap-Opus §52 wave over the close=0 regalloc cluster (armed with §52a):
- BANKED ×134: func_801379FC (97), func_801497A8 (47), func_801495C4 (34) —
  3 exemplars + 399 members = 402 function-instances, 0 gate failures.
- 2 whole-binary-near (func_8012E138, func_8012F40C — match_one MATCH, A10 gap),
  1 new wall (func_8012B4B8 — symbol-address-base wins-low-needs-high, a 3rd class).
- §52b: new verified de-pin levers (per-loop pseudos for register role-swap; the
  RC-7 second-set dial to defeat rematerialization; value-barriers dissolve the
  CSE-stack-address-common wall) + the new wall class + the match_one→whole-binary
  gap-at-scale finding.
- TOOL FIX: family_sweep §42e pin-guard was a FALSE POSITIVE — it matched
  '__asm__("$N")' inside COMMENTS that document a REMOVED pin (recovered
  func_801495C4's 133 members). Now strips comments before the pin check.
- R22 clean-fleet 136/136 BYTE-IDENTICAL; dedup 1840/0.
- Wave 1+2 combined: 5 pin-free cracks -> 670 instances, from the walled flagship's idiom.

Drew T 06e43873e9 feat(phase-26 T7): §52 regalloc sibling wave — 2 cores banked ×134 (268 instances)
The Fable5 walker-family idiom (§52, from the func_80178004 wall) applied by a
6-agent cheap-Opus wave over the regalloc-order reach-134 cluster:
- BANKED ×134: func_80171FFC (40 ins), func_801775E0 (67 ins) — 2 exemplars +
  266 members = 268 function-instances, 0 gate failures (family_sweep byte-gate).
- 4 precisely-characterized walls (P9), each yielding a byte-verified lever:
  func_80167714 (whole-binary near), func_80177AD4 (non-coalescing delay-slot copy),
  func_80169228 (NEW caller-saved priority-first-fit wall), func_80131A34 (save-order/
  load-hoist tension; new const-unchanging-load lever).
- §52a: the wave's new banking levers (pass-real-args/RC-10, store-base-both-arms,
  copy-chain-direction, pp-decl-schedule, const-unchanging-load/RC-3) + the two new
  intrinsic-wall classes. Fable5 DISCOVERS, cheap-Opus APPLIES.
- fn-count 84.27→84.35% (+268), instr-weighted 68.6→68.7% (+14,338 ins), distinct +2.
- R22 clean-fleet 136/136 BYTE-IDENTICAL; dedup 1840/0.

Drew T 8f3e4a12ba docs(phase-26): T7 re-baseline + §52 walker-family regalloc idiom (func_80178004 wall)
- re-baseline the target frontier from the fixed tools (R14): 228 ov077 stubs
  (broken manifest saw 30); worklist/family-hseq regenerated. 68.6% instr / 49.2% distinct.
- R14 corrections to the audit handoff: the '~1,200 type-heavy' was already banked by A3h
  (+2,675); the real remaining lever is 128 matched-sib families (~2.64M templ ins), and
  register pins are NOT a banking blocker (func_8017A4AC banked ×134 with pins).
- Task 7 is near-miss CLOSING (close 1-5 re-gate = 0/13 through the fixed pipeline), not fresh crack.
- §52: single Fable5 on func_80178004 (regalloc-order class exemplar) = honest wall (P9),
  structure-exact 163/165, residual = 3 compiler-internal register-alloc integers, likely
  intrinsic; byte-verified 126/165. Correction: the 'pinned MATCH' was a myth (never matched).
  6 byte-proven walker-family levers + the skeleton idiom transfer to the 11 regalloc-order
  siblings (Fable5 discovers, cheap-Opus applies). decision-log entry (R31).

Drew T a33c6f85f5 docs(phase-26a): A11 — distill + close the tooling-integrity audit (26-A COMPLETE)
Closed the inserted half-phase. tooling-audit.md: DIAGNOSIS -> AUDIT-CLOSE LEDGER
(A1-A10 outcomes + the payoff 66.5->68.6% instr + remaining/handoff); the "two
rules" -> R32/R33/R34 crisp for P10 ratification at the Phase-26 PhaseEnd.
decision-log: the A10 wall-re-test verdict (R31 -- the broken tools WERE the walls;
the payoff was banked by the fixes; the closeness-0 residual is genuine; the real
deliverable is the 3 rules + the derived-oracle pattern). SETUP: the A9d-A10 tool
changes (R21). Cookbook §51 verified complete; LAW 3 tagged R34.

Observables green: final R22 clean-fleet 136/136 BYTE-IDENTICAL; make report EXIT 0
(dedup 1840/0, C1 227211/227211 signed, lint_symbol_refs wired + passing);
audit-corpus 0 slices; audit-cdecl green. Zero src/config changes this session.

Phase 26 resumes at Task 7 (fresh session).

Drew T b1c58d7668 docs(phase-26a): A10 wave 1 — closeness-0 wall re-test CONFIRMED REAL (0/958 bank)
Re-gated all 958 closeness-0 open-stub backlog drafts through the FIXED gate
across 135 binaries in parallel: banked=0, near=957, failed=71. The closeness-0
backlog is genuine whole-binary near-misses, NOT tooling misses -- match_one's
isolated closeness==0 systematically overstates whole-binary bankability, and the
repaired gate recovers none. P9: a re-confirmed wall is as valuable as a dissolved
one. (The audit's tooling-walls were already banked by A3f/g/h + A9b, +2.1% instr.)

backlog.py: env-gated BACKLOG_NO_RENDER so parallel workers skip the render race
(append is atomic) -- backward-compatible parallel-safety. backlog.md refreshed
with the re-test's whole-binary-informed scores.
