P13-S26 EXECUTED: invariant 10 names its derived reference surface
Item 10 said only that "every cross-cutting structure's references resolve to
extant objects", naming no individual class, while the checker enforced a
surface spanning cross-cutting structures, structural top-level references,
meter references at every level a MeterChange appears, an attachment-internal
reference, event-internal references and the tempo map's segment anchors. The
Rust doc comment named many of those and not all. The two were incomplete in
different places, so neither could be repaired from the other; both are now
written from one table derived by reading every emitted condition in the four
functions that raise the tag -- 41 tokens, each with its resolution target and a
symbolic anchor back to the control flow that enforces it.

Two of the ledger row's own claims did not survive scoping and were corrected at
ratification rather than carried: the G3a aside is ambiguous, not false, and the
two-sided repair stands on incompleteness rather than on a falsehood.

Guarded by exact (token, target) set equality in a new testkit suite, against an
oracle validated before use. Ordering and vocabulary are separate assertions
because an out-of-vocabulary term sorts perfectly well. Duplicates are checked on
the raw extraction, which set comparison cannot see. Item 10's opening sentence
is the slice anchor as a complete literal, required to occur exactly once, so
pin 3's retention of it is machine-observed rather than asserted. t12 is narrowed
and renamed, not deleted: cargo test -p epiphany-core must still fail when the
doc block is destroyed, and testkit is another crate.

Chapter 3 gains req:time:aleatoric-reference-locality -- an aleatoric region's
ordering and bounds references must name events of that same region, a locality
rule the checker always enforced and no requirement stated. Its three count
constants were measured at execution, never predicted: 214/285/285 -> 215/286/286.

38 mutations, 38 matching radii, every one against the full workspace with
--no-fail-fast and restored by hand write-back. M3 is the single passing control:
with equality weakened to actual.is_subset(&expected), M1-B stops failing, which
is what makes exactness load-bearing rather than assumed. Two harness faults
halted the run and are recorded in the annex rather than smoothed over; the
second exposed a real weakness in the requirement guard, reported and left for
amendment 3.

Files two candidates this rung does not repair: P13-S29, the invariant-10 tag
multiplexing Chapter 3/4 failures through a public API and its Display; and
P13-S30, the repository-wide assumption that TeX is spelled exactly, whose
requirement-block branch is demonstrated by this rung's own M20.

Baseline 42 suites/1583 -> 43/1586: one new suite, three tests, none removed.
Clippy and the pinned fmt gate clean on 1.95.0; core_spec.pdf rebuilt with zero
undefined references.

epiphany-core

The Epiphany score graph: the in-memory representation of all musical content in a score, implementing the normative requirements of Chapters 2–5 of the core specification (spec/core_spec.pdf). This is Agent B's crate per spec/QUICKSTART.md — the largest scope — building only on Agent A's epiphany-determinism.

The graph is the canonical truth about the music; layout, serialization, and editing operations are downstream projections and consumers of it. — Chapter 5, Design Principles

The identity discipline this crate enforces

  1. Replica + counter, big-endian canonical bytes. Every typed identifier is (replica << 64) | counter; its canonical 16-byte form is to_be_bytes() (8-byte replica, 8-byte counter) and the numeric Ord is the Appendix-D lexicographic byte order. Identity is exact, never tolerant.
  2. A reserved system namespace. ReplicaId::SYSTEM_DERIVED is rejected by ReplicaId::generate/from_entropy; system-derived ids (derive_system_id, derive_promoted_voice_id) live only in that namespace, with counters trunc64(BLAKE3(domain_tag || canonical_inputs)) via epiphany-determinism.
  3. Cross-kind confusion is a compile error. Each object kind has its own newtype; TypedObjectId tags them apart with a discriminant that is part of canonical content.

Graph invariants as property tests

The Chapter 5 invariants are property tests in CI, not runtime assertions in release builds (QUICKSTART). check_invariants returns every violation with a small witness. For each invariant generators provides:

  • a positive generator (valid_score / arbitrary_graph_corpus) whose output passes every check, and
  • a negative generator (violating_score) plus a shrinker (shrink) that minimizes a violating graph to a small witness while retaining only the structure the violation needs.

Generation is deterministic (a vendored SplitMix64), so a failing case reproduces from its seed — no platform entropy enters generation (Appendix D §"Randomness").

Implementation decisions

Per QUICKSTART "Decisions you'll need to make" (full rationale in DECISIONS.md):

  • Replica entropy: getrandom (decision 1). ReplicaId::generate re-draws until the value is not the reserved namespace.
  • Event-arena storage: slotmap (decision 2) plus a hash index for the required O(1) EventId lookup and generation-checked stale handles.
  • Sync only (decision 4): no async anywhere.
  • Current stable Rust (decision 5); MSRV pinned at the workspace's 1.77.
  • RationalTime's promoted arm uses num-rational's BigRational, the spec's reference design (Ch. 3 §"Recommended Implementation").
  • unsafe is forbidden crate-wide (#![forbid(unsafe_code)]).

Hand-off criteria (QUICKSTART, Agent B)

  • Every invariant has both a generator and a shrinker (generators::{valid_score, violating_score, shrink}; one per invariant, property-tested), plus targeted tests for the cross-cutting/anchor/tie sub-rules.
  • The arbitrary-graph corpus runs clean (generators::tests::positive_corpus_runs_clean, 500 graphs), and a breadth corpus (valid_score_rich: concurrent metric/proportional/ aleatoric regions, measures, triplet, tie, spanner, marker, chord symbol, decomposition, tombstones) runs clean over 200 seeds.
  • cargo test -p epiphany-core clean (69 unit + 5 integration).
  • cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings clean; cargo doc clean under RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings".

Depth of the invariant checks

The checks are not surface-level. In particular: invariant 3 computes per-clock event intervals and detects both disorder and overlap; invariant 7 resolves region extents to absolute wall-clock coordinates (wall-clock leaves, plus event/region/measure-start anchors — an event anchor is its region origin plus its region-relative position) and only skips pairs that can't be placed without the deferred tempo map; invariant 9 sweeps every reachable anchor (region extents, meter changes, measure starts, clef/key changes, user breaks, spanners, spelling ranges); invariant 10 resolves all graph references — cross-cutting anchor targets, annotation layers, tuplet parents, graphic objects, and event-internal references (indeterminate alternatives, trajectory event-pitches, graphic-event objects, cue sources); invariant 11 covers every id kind, plus tombstone/live collisions, SYSTEM_DERIVED misuse (including the score's own identity context), and arena index/well-formedness integrity (catching post-get_mut corruption); invariant 17 validates explicit and implicit (pitch-id-ascending) tie pairings, per-class adjacency, and the cross-voice position rule; invariant 18 recomputes the deterministic promoted-voice derivation. Enharmonic equivalence is a sounding notion (octave matters: C4 ≠ C5). Empty pitched events are rejected at the arena boundary and re-checked; IdentityContext::try_new rejects the reserved replica and counters use checked_add so a counter is never silently reused.

Known bounded limitations (deferred dependencies)

  • Tempo conversion integrates the piecewise map in closed form for Constant/Linear/Exponential segments (Chapter 3 §"Conversion"); only TempoShape::Curve is deferred to the open numerical algorithm (TempoError::CurveIntegrationUnsupported). Segment boundaries that cannot be placed without the score graph, and malformed segment sequences, return a TempoError, never a wrong answer. The inverse round-trips ordinary rhythms via a documented continued-fraction approximation (DECISIONS P11-7).
  • Region time-overlap (invariant 7) resolves extents to absolute wall-clock, now including musical event positions placed through the region's effective tempo map (its local_tempo_map, else the score map). Extents that still cannot be placed (no tempo defined, or a deferred curve) are skipped rather than rejected. Sound (no false positives), incomplete (DECISIONS P11-4).
  • System-promoted voice derivation (invariant 18) retains the winning and losing operation ids on VoiceOrigin::SystemPromoted; the checker recomputes the exact four-input derivation used by epiphany-ops.
  • The Chapter 4 tuning catalog — PitchSpace/TuningSystem/ AccidentalRegistry definitions, the built-in catalog, the hierarchical resolver, and the position→frequency resolution function — is not an Agent B deliverable (the QUICKSTART lists those as referenced-by-id). This crate models the identifiers and the score-level ScoreTuningContext; Pitch::sounding_equivalent takes a caller-supplied frequency resolver. See DECISIONS P11-5.

Scope boundaries

The full Chapter 5 top-level Score shape is modeled (metadata, instruments, staff groups, parts, tuning context, tempo map, analysis layers, views) along with the complete CrossCuttingRegistry (slurs, ties, beams, tuplets, spanners, markers, repeats, analytical annotations, comments, graphic gestures, lyrics, chord symbols). The reference- and identity-bearing fields are modeled in depth; deeper bodies (tuning resolution, tempo-curve integration, part layout, view recipes, glyph/engraving detail) are Chapters 3/4/7 and later companions.

Engraving-display detail (StemConfiguration, ClefChange, KeySignatureChange, articulations, dynamics, line styles, spanner/marker visual kinds) is introduced informally here and fully defined in Chapter 7 — it belongs to Agent E (epiphany-layout-ir), and this crate carries minimal, clearly-marked placeholders for it. Operation envelopes, stamps (HLC), causal contexts, the canonical reduction, tombstone tracking, and conflict records are Chapter 6 / Agent C (epiphany-ops); epiphany-core defines only the OperationId they hang off and the tombstone-aware invariants.

Ambiguities discovered while building are not resolved in code — they are batched as Pass 11 candidates in DECISIONS.md (QUICKSTART, Process notes).
