The audit's fourth push: the biggest outstanding Phase-2 item plus the
performance gate. 793 workspace tests pass; clippy -D warnings, fmt,
and rustdoc (deny-warnings) clean; all three spec documents build with
zero undefined references.
Binary Format companion (spec/binary_format.tex, v0.1.0 — Agent J's
deliverable, 43 pages):
- Twelve chapters transcribed from the golden-locked implementation:
encoding conventions (the three prefix/endianness regimes, a
normative no-varint rule, reject-never-normalize decode discipline),
identifiers imported from the core spec's Canonical Byte-Layout
Reference, primitive value encodings, the whole-Score positional
codec ratified as the schema-major-0 wire form, operation wire
forms (envelope field order with the normative id-leads property,
the OperationPayload 0..=3 and OperationKind 0..=23 tables,
effects/conflict/anomaly/MaterializedState vocabulary), the bundle
physical layout (64-byte header, 256-byte superblock, chunk
preimages and framing, ChunkRef, manifest body order), the
operation-index payload, and the extension-blob/edit-barrier byte
forms.
- Ratifies P12-D1 (req:binfmt:opindex), P12-E1 (req:binfmt:ext-blobs),
P12-E2 (req:binfmt:condition-depth, MAX_CONDITION_DEPTH = 64
normative), and P12-E3 (req:binfmt:object-kind-open) — batch rows
struck through; discharges the provisional-codec notes in core
(P11-4), ops, and bundle (P11-D2/D4/D5) DECISIONS with ratification
cross-references.
- Pins the frozen-layout schema-evolution keystone: within schema
major 0 every positional struct layout is frozen; a field-set change
is a schema-major change with migration — formally grounding the
data-model-expansion staging decision. Open questions kept honest
in-document: SnapshotId derivation, index-refresh threshold, u64/u32
prefix unification at the next major.
- Not yet delivered from J's charter: the cross-implementation decoder
test and the wire-format fuzzer (follow-up harnesses).
F1 benches (crates/epiphany-testkit/benches/, per the F0 decision):
- criterion 0.5.1 (workspace dev-dependency; MSRV 1.77 respected with
documented transitive pins: clap 4.5.53, half 2.4.1).
- reduction bench at 1K/10K/50K envelopes with the Chapter-10 budget
(>10,000 envelopes/second cold) written in the bench as a Pass/Xfail
gate; bundle benches for the typical-edit commit (<=50 ms; measured
~14.7 ms on real disk after catching that tmpfs neuters fsync) and
the open/bootstrap read (<=200 ms; measured ~60 us).
- CI: quick budget gates in the conformance job, full gates nightly.
Subquadratic canonical_reduction_order (the F-surfaces/K-fixes
handshake, closing K's 10K-envelope acceptance gate):
- The bench documented the failure (50K at ~1.7K env/s, a 29 s cold
reduction; two O(n^2) loops); the fix replaces pair enumeration with
threshold/frontier readiness per replica plus explicit-dot dependent
lists and a stamp-tuple binary heap — O((n + sum(context)) log n),
never materializing covered pairs.
- Byte-identical order: same edge relation, same ready predicate, same
total order; the old implementation is retained as a test-only
oracle with element-for-element order-equality property tests over
fuzz sets, adversarial sets, and directed shapes (2,000-envelope
full-coverage chains, dot cycles, duplicate-id stamp ties),
mutation-tested for sensitivity.
- Measured: 1K 155K->674K env/s, 10K 12.5K->257K, 50K 1.7K->87K; all
three scale points now pass and the 50K row is promoted from Xfail.
Also: fixed nine rustdoc private/unresolved intra-doc links that had
accumulated across the pushes (the CI deny-doc-warnings job would have
failed on them).

Implements a total, reversible canonical byte form for the entire
epiphany_core::Score graph, unblocking the byte-level full-Score serialization
gate that M3 had to defer.
epiphany-core/src/codec.rs:
- Score::canonical_bytes() / Score::decode_canonical() with a validating
ScoreDecodeError and a forward-only Reader cursor.
- A local Codec trait with generic combinators (Option/Vec/BTreeSet/BTreeMap/
tuple) and macros (struct_codec!/cstyle_enum_codec!/unit_codec!/
catalog_id_codec!) so encode and decode stay symmetric across ~110 types
spanning graph.rs, event.rs, pitch.rs, time.rs, tempo.rs.
- Uniform form: LE integers, one discriminant byte per tagged union, u32
counts/length-prefixes, every variable-width leaf length-prefixed, raw UTF-8
for free text (so decode(encode(x)) == x for any valid score; catalog ids are
already NFC). EventArena round-trips via iter_canonical + insert.
- Two pub(crate) accessors added for the codec: EventOrderingDAG::edges_ref,
SpellingPrecedence::order_ref.
- Tests: generator-score corpus (valid_score + valid_score_rich), exotic
event/pitch variants the generators omit, distinctness, and decoder
rejection of trailing/truncated/empty bytes.
epiphany-testkit:
- roundtrip::assert_score_serialization_stable: encode the real Score, store it
as a bundle Snapshot, reopen + hash-verify, decode to an equal Score, and
assert a byte-identical re-encode.
- convergence::materialized_score builds a real ~50-bar reduce_onto
materialization for the gate.
- criterion_4_full_score_byte_roundtrip flips from #[ignore] to a live gate;
wired into the conformance suite. Docs (lib.rs, README, core DECISIONS P11-4)
updated to reflect the landed codec.

The audit flagged Agent F's criterion 1 (convergence) and criterion 4
(serialization) as testing the reducer-bookkeeping projection
(MaterializedState) while claiming to be full-Score gates. This makes them
honest, per item 4 of the v0 follow-up plan.
Criterion 1 — real-Score convergence:
- generators::graph_edit_session builds a real ~50-bar, two-voice edit
session targeting a base Score's actual voices (so it survives reduce_onto,
which rejects unknown voices).
- convergence::{assert_graph_convergence, run_graph_convergence} reduce that
session onto a real epiphany_core::Score via OperationSet::reduce_onto and
assert the entire GraphMaterialization (graph + bookkeeping) is identical
across delivery orders, passes check_invariants, and genuinely grows both
voices (non-vacuity).
- acceptance criterion_1_convergence now drives this; the former bookkeeping
convergence is retained and renamed reducer_bookkeeping_convergence.
Criterion 4 — honest serialization tiers:
- criterion_4_canonical_serialization_stability keeps the real typed/manifest
round-trips; the MaterializedState round-trip is split out as
reducer_bookkeeping_serialization.
- full_score_materialization_is_reproducible asserts the materialized Score is
reproducible across orders (the determinism precondition for a byte codec),
achievable without the codec.
- criterion_4_full_score_byte_roundtrip is #[ignore]'d pending item 5's
whole-score codec (visible as ignored, never falsely green).
Negative regression guards (src/negative.rs): one guard per audited M1 defect
(inverted causal/HLC order, missing predecessor via vector, HLC 100/200/50
quarantine-from-0, tx rollback of member conflicts, causally-ordered
same-position non-promotion, partial-duration overlap), driven through the real
epiphany_ops API with explicit negative controls. Wired into acceptance and the
conformance suite. Crate/README docs updated to match.

Implements Agent E per spec/QUICKSTART.md — the layout intermediate
representation (Chapter 7) and the constraint-solver interface (Chapter 9):
* Four IR stages: LogicalLayoutIR -> ConstrainedLayoutIR ->
ResolvedLayoutIR -> RenderIR (interface only), with the composite-object
taxonomy, spring slots/constraints, vertical-band model, pages/systems,
engraving decisions + overrides, and the incremental dependency/cache model.
* TimeAxisModel tagged enum (Metric/Proportional/Aleatoric/Registered).
* Provenance back-references with manifestation- and synthesis-aware ids
((source, region) and (source, kind, ordinal)), so multiply-manifested and
synthesized objects never collide.
* In-tree Bravura GlyphCatalog (Send+Sync, metrics + render-data interface),
MUSCFNTM-tagged metrics hash with anchors hashed as a name-keyed map.
* Edit-barrier types keyed on OperationKindTag, with precise EditContext /
EditOracle scope/condition evaluation.
* StubSolver: returns SolveStatus::Solved with the input geometry verbatim;
spec-compliant SolveReport, Minimal tier + all-worst (unmeasured) metric
vector (no false conformance claim); rejects ill-formed input.
* f32 staff-space IR coordinates, quantized to the 1/1024 grid only at
canonical ResolvedLayoutIR serialization (Appendix D); non-finite geometry
is rejected, not normalized. Canonical encoding is injective in glyph
identity, provenance, engraving decisions, and catalog identity.
Re-points Agent F's testkit layout harness from its in-tree stub to the real
crate (v0 acceptance criterion 6) and expands its generators to E's public
surface. Expands Agent C's OperationKindTag to the full normative variant set
so edit barriers can prohibit every operation class.
Workspace gates green: fmt, clippy -D warnings, 377 tests, doc tests, rustdoc
-D warnings, and the conformance suite at scale 1. Decisions and Pass 11
candidates recorded in crates/epiphany-layout-ir/DECISIONS.md.
