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).

Raw Blame History

CURRENT PHASE — Phase 29: The Family Campaign (cores + members)

Opened: 2026-07-16 · Effort: Max · Generation: Gen2 (21st phase of the arc) · Baseline: PhaseEnd_Phase28 (v1.27.0) · Roadmap: docs/roadmap-to-100.md §3 P29 Plan approved (P3 gate 1): 2026-07-16. Full plan mirror: ~/.claude/plans/max-effort-plan-mode-mutable-castle.md (out-of-repo; this file is the in-repo authority + crash-recovery log).

Fleet at open: 68.9% instr-weighted / 49.5% distinct-code / 83.94% fn-count · 140/140 byte-identical · 0 NON_MATCHING · dedup 1840/0.

Drew's Phase-Start decisions (2026-07-16):

  • Fable5 = reserved for NEW wall classes only (default cheap-Opus + permuter). Window ~7/19.
  • Scope = a longer multi-session campaign (drive both tracks substantially down before closing; ROI-gated on per-session yield floors; velocity + 3 metrics reported each session).

The one question this phase must answer first

The swing number: does the legacy PURE-non-jr h_seq tier (~95 families / ~7,993 members / ~478k ins, ~3.6 pp) template mechanically (⇒ one exemplar crack banks ×137) or not? Phase-28 measured ~3% as-tooled with 274 genuine gate-DIFF members that are byte-PURE (reloc-only) at the same vram — so either (a) the remap is incomplete (fixable; ceiling ≫ 3%) or (b) it's a TU-context regalloc wall (3% real). Task 1's disambiguating probe decides it before any yield arithmetic scales (R14/R35). Every prior "structural wall" (B2, SC07, pin-crash) resolved to (a).


Standing invariants (every task)

  • Whole-binary byte-gate is the sole arbiter (G3/P9); match_one/closeness/h_seq are candidates.
  • R22 clean-fleet per banked batch: make clean && make extract-all && make check-all → 140/140.
  • make tools-health green + fail-closed before matching (corpus · cdecl · audit-binaries(R36) · report/lint/dedup-check).
  • §53 carve law: has_mid_jr families → jtbl_family_bank.py, never carve-less family_sweep.
  • Predictions gate-validated on a SAMPLE before scaling; verify the TOOL before trusting its scan.
  • Flywheel: idioms → cookbook + tooling in-session (R16/R30); pivots → decision-log (R31).
  • Effort/model transitions prompted, never assumed (R26/R27) — STOP + WAIT for the toggle.
  • One commit per task after this file's update; Drew pushes (R6/R20). R23 no-op on db.*.gbf.

Task checklist (current-task pointer = ▶)

  • Task 1 — T3b disambiguating probe: build tools/diff_regions.py + the swing verdict [Max] ✅ VERDICT: (a) TOOLING — an -O0 compile-flag artifact, NOT a regalloc wall. The two families supplying ~272 of the 274 DIFF (0x8013c964, 0x8013c938) are -O0 functions; family_sweep --hseq compiled them -O2 (member stub files are -O2). Compiled -O0 they masked-MATCH. 106-member sample (nins 2..133): O0-FLAG 45 · already-banked 29 · TEMPLATES 17 · type-lift-plumbing 15 · REGALLOC 0. Ceiling ≫ 3%; the pool is back on the table. → calibration.md + decision-log.md. (masked-MATCH = candidate; whole-binary bank is Task 2a's gate, §52b.)
  • ▶ Task 2 — Act on the verdict [Max/xHigh] — branch = 2a (tooling). Build the -O0-cluster split rollout (adapt rollout_whale_o0.py → per-overlay [0x13410,c,<ov>_o0] carve, -O0 Makefile rule) + teach family_sweep --hseq per-member opt-level awareness; WHOLE-BINARY gate one overlay (convert the verdict to a banked fact), then fleet + the type-lift sweep. member_adapt.py NOT needed for this pool. Originally: (2a) extend family_remap.symbol_map + re-run the legacy-PURE family_sweep --hseq (the ~478k-ins mechanical win); OR (2b) build tools/member_adapt.py (exemplar→member delta engine + per-member delta briefs); OR both.
  • Task 3 — Core-crack track: fresh exemplar + B3 near-miss cracks [Ultracode/xHigh/Max] — top substantial stub exemplars (non-jr 0x80176734/0x80176218/0x8013faf8/0x8014d820/ 0x801670e4/0x80140958; jr via jtbl_family_bank 0x8013f350/0x80131340/0x80159c84/ 0x8013c414) + B3 high-close near-miss cores (func_8014F4C0 127, func_80137DD4 107, func_8014E284 83, func_80177940 65, func_801387B8 50, func_8014ADE0 19, func_801325B8 4). FRESH re-drafts only (0/958 stored are dead). Add a family_sweep has_mid_jr interlock. Fable5 for NEW walls only (prompt Drew).
  • Task 4 — Member harvest behind each crack + grinder family-warm-start [xHigh/Ultracode] — propagate members per Task-2's mechanism; build the grinder family-warm-start + 2 Phase-22 bug-fixes (split-file-blind lookup; churn-without-blacklist).
  • Task 5 — Fleet Ghidra-C prefetch (JIT drafting fuel) [xHigh; MCP: R23/R29 — prompt /mcp] — built only when Task-3 waves exhaust the ~300-fn cache.
  • Task 6 — Mechanical mass: tiny-IMM mega-pools + permuter backlog sweep [Ultracode/permuter] — 0x80131eec (2,887×15) + 0x80130d0c (2,679×15) via imm_map; the 550 close-1..4 backlog drafts via grinder/permuter_ils.
  • Task 7 — Burn-down tracker + velocity/3-metric report + ROI-gated close [Max] — close when per-session yield across both tracks floors out; Roadmap delta; hand P30 an honest frontier.

OUT of scope: parallel gate farm (bulk_harvest already is it) · family-adapt fine-tune (bounded, conditional) · main-EXE/B9 + GLM/B6 + resident's 14 walls (P30) · behemoths B7 + walls B8 (P31).

Per-task log

(appended after each task; the crash-recovery trail — becomes phase-ends/logs/Phase29.md at close, R19)

  • 2026-07-16 — Phase opened. Session Start Protocol complete (all 28 PhaseEnds + roadmap + calibration + decision-log read). 3 Explore surveys grounded the plan (tooling state, frontier data, idiom bank). Plan approved at Max/plan-mode. Beginning Task 1.
  • 2026-07-16 — Task 1 DONE (the swing RESOLVED = (a) tooling). Built tools/diff_regions.py (composes family_remap.remap_hseq + match_one + masked_diff; auto-detects the exemplar's -O0 opt from the Makefile rules). Byte-proof: the 274-DIFF pool is dominated (~272) by two -O0 families the sweep compiled -O2; at -O0 they masked-MATCH. 106-member sample across nins 2..133 → 0 REGALLOC walls; all failure modes recoverable tooling (-O0 flag / already-banked / template / type-lift plumbing). Verdict + byte evidence → docs/calibration.md (swing RESOLVED section) + docs/decision-log.md (R31). §52b caveat: masked-MATCH is a candidate — Task 2a whole-binary-gates the -O0 split rollout.
