Levi Neuwirth 2740a6c53c TransposeInterval: the faithful transpose, and the frozen one it replaces
Closes P12-K2. The reducer, the payload at wire discriminant 30, and the
editor authoring that emits it.

TransposeIntervalOp carries targets: CanonicalSet<PitchId> -- a set at the
type level, not a Vec plus a dedup() someone can forget. PitchId's Ord is its
canonical byte order, so a BTreeSet iterates in canonical order and cannot
hold a duplicate. Encoding it is the wire table's seq-strictly-increasing by
construction. The frozen Transpose keeps sorted_canonical and its multiset.

Reduction refuses atomically. Every mutable target is resolved before any is
written, so an untransposable one leaves the whole chord alone -- a chord
transposed except for one note is a different chord. Tombstoned and
SYSTEM_DERIVED targets are still skipped: a deleted pitch is not an
untransposable pitch, it is one the operation has nothing to say about. The
three refusals map to PitchSpaceMismatch (6, un-reserved -- detecting a
non-Cmn position reads a discriminant, never the tuning catalog its doc
claimed to need), AcousticRealizationPinned (14), TranspositionOutOfRange (15).

The refusal reads pitch values, which exist only under reduce_onto, so it is a
graph-aware-only precondition that passes base-free -- the convention
modify_identified_pitch's system-derived check already set. It writes nothing
base-free either, so both modes agree on objects, and on the effect log for
every operation whose targets are all transposable, which is all base-free
reduction can see.

Spelling propagates. Core Ch2 requires transposing operations to produce
Propagated attachments; Transpose produced none, so an authored spelling
survived a transposition still pinned to the notehead it was written against.
simplest_spelling on a Cmn position returns the authored letter verbatim, so
the attachment carries exactly what the interval's diatonic component decided:
a diminished sixth up from C4 records A-double-flat, not the enharmonic G.

Editor. transpose_selection now takes a TranspositionInterval; a scalar cannot
tell "up an octave" (7,12) from "C with twelve sharps" (0,12), which is
P12-K2 itself. The "+1 semitone" key became alter_selection(+-1). TransposeOp
is now unused in editor-core's lib, so the compiler enforces "never authored".

Tests, five mutations verified: the graph write removed; the refusal made
non-atomic (skip the offender, move the rest); spelling propagation dropped;
and -- for the freeze -- graph_transpose_pitch "helpfully" repaired to use the
real algebra, which the_frozen_transpose_keeps_its_saturating_alteration_
semantics correctly rejects. That test guards against rewriting history, not
against a bug.

The two old transpose tests were false locks, but the fix was not to rewrite
them as the design gate promised. What they assert -- skip-tombstoned,
skip-system-derived, refuse-missing -- are effect-log properties, correctly
checked base-free. The defect was one test's NAME: it claimed the live target
"shifts" and checked nothing of the kind. Renamed to say what it proves; the
shift itself is now locked by two graph-aware tests against reduce_onto.

fuzz::gen_payload gained arm 27, so below(27) became below(28) and the seeded
stream reshuffled; the canonical-base digest is re-pinned consciously, per
that test's own instruction and the Phase-D precedent. Nothing leaked --
canonical_bytes embeds effects, conflicts and anomalies, never payload values.
The frozen Transpose keeps fuzz arm 6 and its testkit corpus authoring: it
must reduce correctly forever, and a generator is now the only thing that will
ever produce one.

Gate: fmt clean, clippy 0, 30 targets / 982 passed / 0 failed, docs 0 under
-D warnings, conformance 8/8, zero golden churn.

epiphany-ops

The Epiphany concurrent semantics: the operations through which the score graph becomes a live model, and the deterministic reduction by which a set of operations becomes a materialized score state. Implements the normative requirements of Chapter 6 (Semantic Operations and Concurrent Reduction) of the core specification (spec/core_spec.pdf). This is Agent C's crate per spec/QUICKSTART.md, building on Agent A's epiphany-determinism and Agent B's epiphany-core.

A score's state is defined by the set of operations committed to it. Any materialized graph is a deterministic reduction of that set; caches, snapshots, and partial reductions are acceleration structures, never the source of truth. — Chapter 6, Design Principles

The thesis in one paragraph

The replicated operation set is a grow-only CRDT: replicas accumulate envelopes and converge on the same set. The materialized graph is not a CRDT — it is the deterministic reduction of that set in a single canonical order (causal-first, then the HLC tuple). Any permutation of the same envelopes reduces to byte-identical materialized state. That property is the determinism heart of the architecture, and the reduction fuzzer is its tripwire.

The determinism this crate enforces

  1. A single reduction-order function. canonical_reduction_order performs deterministic causal topological ordering, using the intrinsic stamp tuple (physical, logical, replica, counter) only among ready operations.
  2. Order-independent equivocation. A duplicate OperationId with different canonical bytes transitions its slot to Equivocated regardless of which envelope arrived first (Pass 10). Equivocated slots contribute nothing to reduction; dependents are held pending.
  3. Content-derived facts. ConflictId and IntegrityAnomalyId are derived from content, so two replicas reducing the same set agree on every conflict and anomaly id — the conflict registry and anomaly register are deterministic materialized facts, not local bookkeeping.
  4. Byte-identical materialized state. MaterializedState::canonical_bytes serializes the effect log, conflict registry, anomaly register, object existence, spellings, and LWW fields in their normative orders.
  5. Real graph materialization. OperationSet::reduce_onto(&base_score) returns GraphMaterialization { state, score }. The graph is mutated in the same canonical order and compares by canonical event identity, independent of arena storage order.

Hand-off gates

Run the gate harnesses (QUICKSTART, Agent C):

cargo test -p epiphany-ops
cargo run --release -p epiphany-ops --example fuzz_reduction          # 10k iters, seed 0
cargo run --release -p epiphany-ops --example fuzz_reduction 100000 7 # soak, seed 7
  • Reduction determinism — every randomized envelope set reduces to byte-identical materialized state under any acceptance order (v0 acceptance criteria 1 and 5).
  • Equivocation order-independence — every duplicate-id-with-different-bytes scenario equivocates regardless of arrival order (v0 acceptance criterion 3).

The integration tests (tests/concurrent_reduction.rs) exercise these plus transaction atomicity, descriptor precedence, anomaly exclusion, and forward undo through the public API.

Scope and decisions

Chapter 6 specifies the framework and a representative selection of operations; the full ~6080-primitive catalog is an explicit open question (§6.11) deferred to the Operation Catalog companion. This crate implements the framework in full and the representative operations, which is sufficient to exercise every reduction discipline. The representative operations can also reduce onto an epiphany_core::Score: insert/delete, voice promotion, supported cross-cutting structures, system breaks, migration checks, transaction rollback, and undo mutate the real graph while preserving Agent B's invariants. reduce() remains the base-free CRDT/bookkeeping API; reduce_onto() is the graph-aware editing path. See DECISIONS.md for remaining payload boundaries.

Per QUICKSTART "Don't do these": undo is the spec's forward compensating operation, never inverse-based; unsafe is forbidden; everything is sync.
