⚠️ R22 CLEAN-FLEET OWED (two agents still reading asm/, so `make clean` is unsafe). Each of the 12
was gated whole-binary AND independently re-checked against its own config/check.<bin>.sha (12/12),
stubs confirmed replaced — but incremental (§130). Treat as UNCONFIRMED until the clean run.
- THREE isolated cheap-Opus agents, briefed with §150/§151 + the mandatory all-drafts scan,
CONVERGED INDEPENDENTLY: func_8017C6F4's 947-ins body exists in 12 OVERLAYS under 5 DIFFERENT
NAMES at 6 DIFFERENT ADDRESSES, each differing by exactly TWO per-overlay symbols (screen-rect
helper + 64x64 cell table). Gated 12/12, 0 failed. 11,364 ins from this morning's single crack.
- WHY IT HID ~30 PHASES (cookbook §152): name-keyed grouping scattered it across 5 names,
address-keyed across 6 addresses (and the address collides with an unrelated 15-ins body in 3
other overlays), and h_seq-keyed scattered it too — which is why the Phase-26 sweeps missed it.
THE KEY IS BYTE SIZE: `grep -rl 'nonmatching .*, 0xECC' asm/*/nonmatchings/*/` returns exactly
the 12, reads the asm (cannot go stale like family_hseq.json), no false positives. Refines the
Phase-26 "h_seq is spent" finding: h_seq is worth exactly ONE size-keyed sweep behind each FRESH
core crack — here it paid 11:1.
- TWO CAUTIONS THAT TRAVEL WITH IT: (1) a MASKED tool cannot validate a remap — match_one and
rtu_match both mask jal/%hi/%lo, exactly the fields a remap edits, so a wrong symbol map still
reports MATCH; gate remaps by the whole-binary SHA only. (2) a stale residual is NOT evidence two
functions differ — I briefed "func_8017C59C scores 340, different body"; refuted in one command
(that 340 came from a pre-§150-fix draft, which scores nonzero against its own target too).
- OPEN TOOL DEFECT (R32): family_remap's unit backscan halts at the first #define, so it carried
16/16 gte macros and 0/10 typedefs, silently — the §146 gap from the other side.
- MY ERROR, RETRACTED IN THE LOG (S43-9): I reported the 263x5 cluster as "5 byte-identical, 1,315
ins". FALSE — the drafts had been reverted, so I measured the INCLUDE_ASM STUB BASELINE, which is
byte-identical by construction. R34's trap, self-inflicted by hand-building instead of using
harvest_verify. Nothing was banked there; the cluster is UNRESOLVED. ("41 behemoth drafts" was
likewise a file count — 79 files, 20 distinct functions.)
The second and last has_mid_jr family of the -O0 cluster. Same route as func_8013C0F8:
jtbl_family_bank (the SS81 carve chain per sibling) -> 137 BANKED / 0 failed.
Both jr families together: 274 members, 483 ins x137 = ~66k instructions, 0 failures.
Neither was bankable before commit:1270 routed the destination TUs to -O0.
R22 CLEAN-FLEET: extract-all 139/139 (+main); check-all 140 passed, 0 failed of 140.
The first of the two has_mid_jr families SS53 correctly refused from the carve-less
family_sweep. Routed through the tool its tier needs (jtbl_family_bank, the SS81 carve
chain per sibling) it banks CLEAN:
jtbl_family_bank func_8013C0F8 ov_SC01_077 0x8013c0f8 -> 137 BANKED / 0 failed
~7s per sibling (carve + extract + remap + whole-binary gate), ~16 min total
Only possible now because commit:1270 routed each destination TU to -O0; before that the
member's home file compiled -O2 and no body could ever match there (SS116).
INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION OF THE SS125 DIAGNOSIS: this is the SAME tool that returned
gate-fail on every group-B (func_8017BEBC) probe earlier today. 137/137 here versus 0/4
there, same jr machinery, is exactly what the carve-vs-body diagnostic concluded --
group B's failures are its BODY, not the carve. I had first blamed the carve; the
body-free probe corrected it, and this run corroborates the correction from the other side.
R22 CLEAN-FLEET: extract-all 139/139 (+main); check-all 140 passed, 0 failed of 140.
Applies tools/o0_subsplit.py across every overlay whose 0x8013B568..0x8013C98C -O0
cluster was trapped inside an -O2 jr split. This is the population the phase opened
against, and it has never been buildable-at--O0 before.
135/135 sub-splits applied, 0 tool refusals
140 new -O0 region files; corpus.o0_sources() 137 -> 277
0 of them invisible to the -O0 oracle (verified explicitly -- a SILENT -O0 miss is
the exact failure SS126 warns about: the region would compile -O2 and every residual
it produced would be a pure artifact)
**2,200 open stubs now live in a genuinely -O0 translation unit**
R22 CLEAN-FLEET: extract-all 139/139 (+main); check-all 140 passed, 0 failed of 140.
make tools-health OK: corpus(+resident) 0 PHANTOM/0 TRUNCATED; cdecl ALL ORACLES GREEN;
audit-binaries 140 onboarded, every one a full citizen (R36); dedup-check 1904/0,
C1 coverage 240359/240359; cookbook-index 336 sections.
The transform is byte-neutral by construction (it only moves subseg boundaries and
repartitions source), so the whole batch was gated by one clean-fleet R22 rather than
135 individual builds -- after a single-overlay probe (ov_SC01_000) proved it (R37).
NOTE THE POPULATION CORRECTION (R14, mine): I earlier reported this cluster as "275 open
stubs across 18 overlays". That was WRONG -- the sizing scan ran while R22 was rebuilding
in the background, so corpus.stubs() raised for most overlays and my bare `except:
continue` SWALLOWED the very coverage assertion R32 exists to raise. The true figure is
2,184 open stubs across 138 overlays, which vindicates the T0(f) pin of "2,192 open
members" that I had called stale. The target list for this sweep was rebuilt with NO bare
except, so R32 can do its job.
Drafting fuel confirmed present: cached Ghidra-C seeds exist for the cluster's addresses.
Drafting the 2,200 is crack-wave work (T3), not T2.
T51's payoff. The invocation is IDENTICAL to the T49/T50 runs; the only variable is T51's decl
scoping.
T49/T50 (pre-T51) 4 banked / 133 gate-fail (and all 4 were SC07 — a different cause)
T52 sample (8) 8 BANKED / 8 52s
T52 rest (124) 124 BANKED / 124 13m04s
TOTAL 132 / 132, ZERO failures
So the 133 "gate-fails" were never a codegen wall — they were one file-scope declaration per sibling
TU. Fifth time this phase a wall has resolved to tooling/plumbing.
GATES (from a genuinely clean tree): R22 clean-fleet `make clean && extract-all && check-all` ->
140 passed, 0 failed of 140. `make tools-health` OK — corpus 0 PHANTOM + 0 TRUNCATED, cdecl,
audit-binaries, report/lint/dedup 1886 validated / 0 failed (C1 239604/239604). 0 NON_MATCHING (G4).
METRICS (reconciled against make report, not asserted):
instr-weighted 85.5% -> 85.7% 11240111 -> 11258063 = +17,952 ins
distinct-code 76.1% -> 76.4% 67687 -> 67812 unique fns (+125)
fn-count 90.62% -> 90.65% 320524 -> 320656 = +132 functions
INCLUDE_ASM stubs 33189 -> 33057 = -132
+17,952 templated instructions against T50's ~18,000 estimate. distinct-code gains 125 not 132
because seven siblings are byte-identical to code already counted unique.
ALSO SETTLED:
- item 3 is now byte-confirmed, not just inspected: [gather_externs] warned "func_80135D20 ... the
sibling will not compile" on ALL 132, and all 132 BANKED. A 100% false-alarm rate on this family,
actively masking real causes. cdecl._mask is the fix (T51 used exactly that).
- the T51 pre-pass is now worth folding into jtbl_family_bank; T51 withheld that pending a measured
payoff, and 4/137 -> 137/137 is it. Next task.
config/ (per-overlay splat.*.yaml + overlays.mk, written by the carve) is staged alongside src/ —
the `git add -A src/` omission this phase already recorded once.
137/137 banked via jtbl_family_bank (jr family, carve-aware path). R22 clean-fleet 140 passed /
0 failed of 140. MEASURED: fn-count 319,412 -> 319,549 (+137); instr-weighted 84.7 -> 84.8%
(+9,590 ins); distinct-code 74.5 -> 74.7% (+130 unique fns).
WAVE22 COMPLETE: 18 targets drafted (12 MATCH / 6 NEAR / 0 FAIL, 2.59M subagent tokens) ->
5 exemplars banked -> 685 members swept -> 690 functions total.
This commit stages config/ EXPLICITLY. Twice today I omitted it and left a carve uncommitted, both
times caught by jtbl_family_bank's dirty-tree precondition rather than by me or any gate.
137/137 banked, 0 failed via jtbl_family_bank. R22 clean-fleet 140 passed / 0 failed of 140; report
fail-closed green (dedup 1886/0, C1 coverage 239604/239604, 0 NON_MATCHING).
MEASURED: fn-count 318,447 -> 318,585 (+138); instr-weighted 83.9 -> 84.0% (+12,558 ins);
distinct-code 73.2 -> 73.4% (+131 unique fns — byte-VARIANT members, so unlike func_801330E0's
byte-identical family this one moves the distinct number too).
Closes the function REFUSED since SESSION-21 — correctly refused, since conforming its 660
declarations without first casting its 138 zero-arg call sites would have broken 138 binaries.
Also logged (T21): the sweep-throughput measurement. Drew was right that parallelism was proven and
adopted (Makefile JOBS=16; sweep_parallel.py -j12 built SESSION-20 after measuring an 8-16x loss),
but NEITHER sweep tool calls it — the adapter is reachable only via a manual --stage-only two-step,
so three sweeps today ran serially for no reason. The -j theory was wrong and measurement said so:
make is ~5s of the 16s per sibling (the loop runs up to FOUR builds per sibling), so -j16 is a 12%
win, kept but minor. The real 8-16x lever is blocked on revert() restoring the SHARED
config/overlays.mk from git — designed, not built. An attempt to wire family_sweep's parallel default
broke it twice and was reverted rather than committed.
The largest single family on the census: 137 siblings x 289 ins. Per sibling — jtbl_carve -> make
extract -> remap_hseq + canon_sig_reconcile -> whole-binary gate, revert-on-fail. 137/137 BANKED,
0 failed. R22 clean-fleet 140 passed / 0 failed of 140; report fail-closed green (dedup 1886/0,
C1 coverage 239604/239604, 0 NON_MATCHING).
MEASURED: fn-count 318,171 -> 318,309 (+138); instr-weighted 83.4 -> 83.8% (+39,882 ins);
distinct-code 72.5 -> 73.2% (+131 unique fns).
TWO TOOL REFUSALS MADE THIS BANK POSSIBLE, and both deserve recording:
- family_sweep REFUSED the family (has_mid_jr): §53's carve law says a carve-less sweep there returns
"a 0% that is a TOOL artifact, not a wall". Overriding with --allow-jr would have yielded 0/137 and
plausibly filed the highest-value family on the board as a wall.
- jtbl_family_bank REFUSED a dirty tree: its per-sibling revert restores from HEAD, so the
uncommitted 414-file decl axis would have been destroyed. H4 enforced in code.
This is the inverse of the session's earlier failures, which all came from tools that ANSWERED
instead of refusing.
SESSION-22 TOTAL: 5 exemplars + 543 members = 548 functions.
Fleet: 82.9 -> 83.8% instr, 71.5 -> 73.2% distinct-code.
134/134 BANKED on the remainder after 3/3 on the probe — the FOURTH full-family sweep this session,
all four unblocked by the --like role guard, three of them 100%.
R22 clean-fleet: extract-all 139/139, check-all 140 passed / 0 failed.
133/134 BANKED on the remainder after 3/3 on the probe. ONE sibling refused (ov_SC03_108,
gate-fail) and is left as a stub rather than forced — a 136/137 recorded honestly beats a 137/137
that needed a shortcut. Third full-family sweep this session, all three unblocked by the --like
role guard.
R22 clean-fleet: extract-all 139/139, check-all 140 passed / 0 failed.
134/134 BANKED on the remainder after 3/3 on the probe — the second clean full-family sweep this
session, both unblocked by the --like role guard. func_8015B950 is stubbed in NO overlay.
R22 clean-fleet: extract-all 139/139, check-all 140 passed / 0 failed.
At 271 ins x 137 members this is the session's largest single family by instruction weight.
- 134/134 BANKED on the remainder (after 3/3 on the probe) => the family is 137/137, ZERO failures.
func_8012AAAC is now stubbed in NO overlay. R22 clean-fleet: extract-all 139/139, check-all
140 passed / 0 failed.
- FLEET 81.9 -> 82.0% instr · 89.60 -> 89.64% fn-count · distinct-code 69.3 -> 69.5%.
- THE METRIC POINT, reproduced twice in one session and in BOTH directions: this jtbl family is
byte-VARIANT (each overlay's table holds its own addresses), so every member is a genuinely new
unique function and distinct-code MOVED. The h_seq PURE families swept earlier added 274 members
and moved distinct-code by +0.0, because those members were already counted via their shared
exemplar. SESSION-20's routing rule, now byte-demonstrated: target byte-VARIANT families to move
RE-completeness; high-reach h_exact families move only the display number.
- cookbook §91 — "a structure-TRANSFER is only valid where the structure corresponds": the --like
role trap, plus the three-hypothesis trail (two wrong, and instructive: the sibling call-site casts
were a real defect that fixed nothing, and my own carve-alone test was a false lead that departed
from the tool's real sequence). The law: any "same family => same structure" transfer must state
which structural fact it assumes and CHECK it on both sides — and a tool that drops an error class
it cannot act on should still SURFACE it, because a bare `gate-fail` repeated 137 times cost far
more than printing one line would have.
Propagated the func_8015C32C jump-table exemplar to 110 more overlays via
jtbl_family_bank (carve + ld_interleave + remap, per-sibling whole-binary gated).
Run halted by an uncaught exception at member 111 (ov_SC06_018); 110/119 attempted
banked clean. Remaining ~19 members to follow.
The A10 re-test payoff. func_8017A4AC (536 ins, reach-134) — "blocked on plumbing" since
session 8 — banks now that the audit repaired the recover path (A3d reconcile_tu / A3e gate).
jtbl_family_bank --raw swept all 133 siblings (per-sibling isolate → jtbl carve → remap_hseq +
canon_sig_reconcile → whole-binary gate): 133/133 BANKED, 0 failed. 0 still-stub overlays.
R22 CLEAN-FLEET (make clean + extract-all + check-all): 136 passed, 0 failed of 136.
dedup-check 1840/0 (jtbl sweep banks are per-overlay src, not registry).
DELTA:
instr-weighted 68.1% -> 68.6% (+0.5%, ~71,824 shipped .text instructions)
distinct-code 48.0% -> 49.2% (+1.2% — the siblings are per-location byte-variants)
The audit thesis, demonstrated: a giant "wall" that stood for many phases was our TOOLING (the
recover path could not resolve its struct/fn-ptr conflicts), not an intrinsic compiler residual.
Once the oracle was fixed, the wall dissolved and banked ×134.
- ROOT CAUSE (R14 — the session-7 diagnosis was half right): the isolated region builds [ OK ]
WITHOUT the body, so §8b isolation was never implicated. `family_remap.gather_externs` prepends
carried decls at FILE scope; D_801812A4 is a fn-ptr dispatch table the sibling declares FOUR
incompatible ways at BLOCK scope inside its own later functions, so the carried file-scope decl
ESTABLISHES A GLOBAL THE TU NEVER HAD and every later block-scope extern must now agree with it.
Byte-proven asymmetry: BLOCK(int)->BLOCK(struct*)->FILE(void*) builds; FILE(void*)->BLOCK(int)
errors. It was the ONLY hard error in the build — all 27 carried function externs were fine raw.
- THE FIX (demote, don't reconcile): tools/scope_data_externs.py emits a carried D_ extern at BLOCK
scope inside the function body when the TU has no file-scope decl of it above the insertion point.
Byte-neutral (an extern emits no code; type + access opcodes unchanged) and never worse than raw,
so it needs no oracle, no type comparator, no fn-ptr parser. Restores fidelity — the original
declares these symbols at block scope in exactly this way. Wired into jtbl_family_bank as the
`scoped` stage: raw -> scoped -> recovered -> reconciled (scoped is the base for the later stages).
- reconcile_decls is the WRONG instrument for this class, twice: its oracle answers "what does the
FLEET call this symbol" when the question is "what can THIS TU see", and its DATA_DECL_LINE_RE
cannot parse `extern void (*D_x[])(void *);` — silently skipping the very symbols that were
failing (the phase's third silent-skip bug, after find_site braces + overlay_files splits).
- R17 TRIAGE RULE, first real test, held: `conflicting types` = the compiler REFUSED TO COMPILE =
a C front-end diagnostic = our Python. Reading cse.c/global.c would have taught nothing.
- RESULT: func_8015AE2C (562 ins, reach 134) swept 133/133 siblings, 0 failures. R22 clean-fleet
136/136 BYTE-IDENTICAL (534 changed src files); dedup-check 1813 validated / 0 failed; 0
NON_MATCHING (G4). instr-weighted 63.0 -> 63.6%; distinct-code 39.1 -> 40.5% (+256 unique fns /
+79,957 ins) — one core, ~0 agent tokens.
- knowledge captured during the producing session (R30/R31/R21): cookbook §8d, decision-log
2026-07-13 session 8, SETUP tool-inventory row; CURRENT_PHASE session-8 checkpoint.
- ld_interleave.py --order: address-ordered N-piece data->rodata->data sandwich
for overlays with 2+ matched jr-functions; legacy --front/--tail path is byte-
untouched (main EXE + the 133 single-carve func_8012ACE0 siblings unaffected)
- jtbl_carve.py rewritten additive/regenerate-from-config: parse the tail data
region + existing .rodata carves, split the containing data piece for the new
jtbl, re-emit the address-ordered pieces + the --order arg; same-subseg carve
collision fails loud (-> jr isolation); idempotent
- jtbl_family_bank.py: `make extract` BEFORE the carve (asm must match the reverted
committed config; the old error-string retry was fragile) + revert-on-carve-fail
- family-1: func_801734BC (34-ins PURE jr, ov_SC01_077_after) matched in ov077
(shared-tail switch idiom) + banked 133/133 siblings = x134 — CROSS-subseg
multi-jtbl (func_8012ACE0 in _a + func_801734BC in _after)
- R22 clean-fleet 136/136 byte-identical (~52s); 0 NON_MATCHING (G4)
- the jr-function ×134 harvest pipeline, proven end-to-end: per family sibling,
jtbl_carve (per-sibling jtbl-rodata carve, computed from THAT sibling's own jtbl
address — the fn is at the same vram across overlays but its jtbl floats) -> make
extract (auto ld_interleave) -> remap_hseq + canon_sig_reconcile -> whole-binary gate
- tools/jtbl_carve.py: per-overlay §8 carve generator (config data-tail split +
<ov>_JTBL_INTERLEAVE var)
- tools/jtbl_family_bank.py: the sibling sweep driver (idempotent, revert-on-fail, byte-gated)
- tools/family_remap.py: extract_unit now carries single-line typedefs (jr-function bodies
define local `typedef struct{} Foo_<addr>;` that must template with the body — the
propagation cap for these; additive, byte-gate-protected)
- func_8012ACE0 family: 133/133 siblings BANKED, 0 failures; R22 clean-fleet 136/136
byte-identical; 0 NON_MATCHING (G4)
- metrics: distinct-code 39.1% (50,698 unique fns), instr-weighted 63.0%
- opportunity (has_mid_jr families): 237 total (5,805 members) = 46 small mid/tiny
(771 members, same mechanical pipeline) + 191 substantial (the Fable5 cores, Task 7 paused)
- NEXT: R22 profiling/parallelization; then the other 45 small jr families
The single biggest byte-weight lever (770 ins ×134 ~ +1.6% byte-weight), banked across all 134
overlays as -O0 compiled C (was ×1 in ov_SC01_077, commit:0463).
- ROLLOUT (tools/rollout_whale_o0.py): per single-file overlay, LINE-split <ov>.c at the whale
(splat emits in vram order), carve the yaml code subseg into before/<ov>_o0b(-O0)/<ov>_after,
thin <ov>_o0b.c #includes the shared src/shared/func_80144B9C.h (the whale C moved there — DRY,
TU-local typedefs, not a fragile 200-line DEFINE_ macro). Makefile WHALE_O0B_OBJS wildcard -O0.
- DEDUP: group E_func_80144B9C (134 members, h_exact 74186b97, source=the header; group_members
keys on binary+vram so a header-share validates like a macro-share).
- MILESTONE: clean fleet check-all 136/136 (R22); dedup-check 1811/0; FLEET REAL 225816->225949,
byte-identical 65.91->65.95% function-count (the gain is byte-weighted). Validated on ov_SC01_000
+ spot-checks SC02/SC03/SC07 before the full fleet.
- cookbook §38 + SETUP inventory.
- onboarded all 118 not-yet-onboarded overlays via tools/new_overlay.sh (0 failed)
-> fleet = 134 location overlays + main + resident = 136 binaries
- R22 CLEAN rebuild (make clean -> extract all 136 -> make check-all):
136 passed, 0 failed of 136 -- every overlay byte-identical at 100% INCLUDE_ASM
from a fully clean tree, 0 extract failures
- per-overlay config (splat.ov_*.yaml / check.ov_*.sha / symbols.ov_*.txt) +
config/overlays.mk var blocks + the 4 report/diff BINARIES dicts auto-registered
(sentinel-anchored, idempotent); src/ov_*/ stub records committed (harvest_verify
reverts via git checkout, so the records must be tracked before any harvest)
- ghidra/ churn NOT staged (R23); build/asm/assets/.run gitignored
- report-digest regen (fleet-wide duplicates.cross.md + progress.fleet.md) is T4
