A lane-A member's body IS its matched sibling's body with the per-location symbols rebased.
Two mechanisms had each left that population on the table: family_sweep remaps but CARRIES
the seed's decl layer (decl-agreement = 331 of 458 S49 failures), and the agent wave
re-derives the same body at ~80k tok/fn. This does neither — seed body + symbol_map
(positional reloc zip) + a minimal synthesized preamble.
- Byte-proven before the tool existed: a hand-written draft of exactly this shape banked
func_801E2858@md_SC03_132, in a family the mechanical sweep had refused. Then 9/9 banked
on the first generated batch.
- THE SELECTOR, measured: only PURE members (every diff site a RELOC) are drafted. An IMM
(per-location literal) or STRUCT (register/opcode drift) site cannot be reached by a
rename — the first 5 gated 0/5, all IMM or STRUCT. classify_member now decides that
BEFORE a build is spent, not after. --allow-impure to override.
- Macro seeds supported: DEFINE_<fn>() de-macroizes back to a plain self-contained block
(3737/3737 extract). They were the largest skip bucket — 567 of 1196 members.
- 592 drafts emitted (304 macro / 288 inline) from 1196 members; every skip is named (R32).
- aprop_symfix: asm_syms_ordered() so an n:m card hands over the target's reference ORDER.
- Two defects caught by probes before they scaled: a typedef regex that stopped at the `;`
INSIDE the struct braces, and a continuation walk that started on the empty pre-newline
element and returned an empty body.
- The blocker was carried as "one missing file-scope extern gates 83 PURE members". Both
halves were wrong (R14): corpus.stubs says 4 open members, and D_801ED98C is a DEFINED
const Blk8 whose rodata lives inside the member's own nonmatchings .s — replacing the stub
deletes the data with it. gather_externs can carry an extern DECL, never a DEFINITION,
which is why it reported "no file-scope decl" for a symbol md_SC05_023 defines on line 114.
- Fix: paste typedef + const definition + body per sibling (data bytes verified identical
across md_SC05_024/025/028/029). 4/4 banked.
- aprop_symfix: new `local-only` class — draft-DEFINED identifiers that merely carry a
vram-looking suffix (Blk8_…, S8_…, L_call_…) are not stale symbols. Measured: that is every
non-clean case in the whole wave-7a/7b stored-draft residue, which holds ZERO stale-symbol
recoveries (a clean negative result — the defect was A-prop-specific).
- cookbook index regenerated (tools-health fails closed on a stale index — it caught §171).
- R22 clean rebuild: check-all 213 passed, 0 failed of 213. Stubs 12,445 -> 12,441.
- REFUTES §170's open hypothesis (batched cards concentrate members into one TU ⇒ §169
collision): 5-draft groups banked 5/5; 11 of 35 unbanked drafts were already one-per-TU;
and the two "concentrated" groups banked 12/12 and 10/10 once the real defect was fixed.
- The cause: a per-location data symbol carried out of the seed body unrebased. match_one
compares instruction ENCODINGS and is blind to a relocation's target NAME, so it scores
MATCH standalone and dies at link in the host TU. 24 of 24 concentrated failures, all 1:1
rewritable at one constant vram delta (0x4128).
- tools/aprop_symfix.py: audit + --fix, emits a gate_lane-shaped slate; deterministic and
build-free, so it runs BEFORE the gate. The R34 second oracle for the class match_one
cannot see.
- family_cousins.py --aprop-cards: members now carry sym_map, the explicit {seed -> member}
renames, read from the seed's C BODY (a matched seed has no .s of its own) vs the member's
.s. Two case-mismatch defects fixed while wiring it (sig lowercase vs splat uppercase).
- 23/24 banked. Stubs 12,468 -> 12,445. Fleet 95.2% instr / 89.9% distinct / 96.57% fn.
R22 clean rebuild: check-all 213 passed, 0 failed of 213. dedup 2,043/0.
- A-prop's true conversion is 87% (79/91); the 320 batched members are unblocked.
- Cookbook §171 + §170 struck in place; SETUP row; decision-log (R31).
- checkpoint block refreshed for a fresh session (R30/checkpoint-before-pause): the TU-spread
test is the named FIRST action, the regen chain and gate contract are spelled out, and the
>=16 head's three open items are listed with their evidence.
- promote gate_lane.py into tools/ (it was scratchpad-only): accepts slate OR confirmed shapes,
explicit draft paths, R32 coverage assertion (refuses to report 0 as a result), dirty-tree
abort, no outer timeout, per-function propagation after.
- session: 179 commits, 177 instances banked, 5 R22 clean-fleet gates all 213/213.
- NEW family_cousins.py --aprop-cards + tools/wave/aprop_wave.js: lane A (1,700 open fns /
76,419 ins) had NO card type — cousin diffs are empty for h_seq-identical members, so the card
is a positional WORD diff vs the matched sibling, grouped BY FAMILY (one agent, N drafts).
Head cards: 13 families / 433 members, median TWO differing words each.
- calibration 9 batches / 108 members: 98 agent-MATCH (91%, best of any wave) -> 56 BANKED (57%),
~80k tok/banked fn vs 157k (cousin card) vs 400k+ (crack wave). R22 213/213 BYTE-IDENTICAL.
- HONEST GAP (R14): 91% agent -> 57% gate is the worst conversion measured; 14 groups banked 0.
Hypothesis TESTABLE not proven — family batching concentrates members per destination TU, the
§169 collision. Re-gate unbanked ONE PER TU before scaling the remaining 320.
- >=16 head diagnosed: 3 of 4 blockers are plumbing — the --band substantial default hid 5 of 13
families from every prior sweep; one missing file-scope extern (D_801ED98C) gates 56 PURE
members; dedup_extend is macro-only. Only func_8017C294 is a genuine crack.
- fleet 96.56% fn / 95.2% instr / 89.9% distinct; stubs 12,535 -> 12,468; dedup 2,043/0.
- cookbook §170.
