spec/vectors/decode_vectors.txt -- 37 committed byte strings across five surfaces, each with its normative accept/reject verdict. The reference implementation's fuzzers prove its own decoders self-consistent, which says nothing about whether a foreign decoder agrees with the format. This is what one is checked against. Gated in the conformance suite as [7d], and drift-locked: the committed file must equal vectors::render(), so a wire-format change lands in the diff. It found a real defect on its first run. OperationKindTag::TransposeInterval encoded to [30] and its own decoder REJECTED it -- Push 4a added the variant to discriminant() and never to decode_canonical. OperationKindTag is what edit barriers persist, so a barrier prohibiting TransposeInterval could be written and never read back. Silent data loss on reopen. Four things should have caught it. None did, and two made it worse: The round-trip test enumerated DISCRIMINANTS -- (0u8..30).map(decode_canonical) -- starting from bytes the decoder already knew, so it structurally could not notice a variant the decoder was missing. It now enumerates VARIANTS from one all_tags() list, with a completeness check in both directions. The distinctness test's hand-written variant list omitted it too. Same list now. operation_kind_tag_decode_rejects_malformed_bytes asserted that tag 30 is REJECTED, and layout-ir's decode_rejects_unknown_discriminants asserted the same at the barrier surface. Both were locking the bug in place and made it look deliberate. Both now name 31, and a new barrier test round-trips a barrier prohibiting every tag -- the persistence surface where this actually bites. The P2 decode fuzzer fed valid corpus bytes to the tag decoder and tallied the failure as a REJECTION, like any garbage input. It never asserted that an unmutated corpus entry decodes. Both fuzzers now do, as a pre-pass. The harness had the same disease as the code. `check` collapsed "rejected" with "accepted but does not re-encode", so a decoder that silently normalizes non-canonical bytes PASSED the reject vectors it was written to catch. Verified: removing the whole-state guard, and restoring the lenient compression codec, both left the corpus green. `check` now returns Ok(injective) for accept and Err for reject and never conflates them -- silently normalizing non-canonical bytes IS accepting them. With that fixed, all four defect mutations fail the corpus, each naming its class. The corpus pins one vector per class this repo has shipped a bug in: non-canonical-map-order (a guard catches it; no per-site check exists), non-canonical-vec-order (only a per-site check catches it; a guard is blind), lenient-sub-codec (a guard masked it in the manifest; the index had none), plus trailing-bytes, truncated, unknown-discriminant, count-exceeds-remaining. A test fails if one goes missing. Gate: fmt clean, clippy 0, 30 targets / 1024 passed / 0 failed, docs 0 under -D warnings, conformance 8/8 (now including [7d]), zero golden churn.

epiphany-layout-ir
The Epiphany layout intermediate representation and constraint-solver
interface, implementing the normative requirements of Chapter 7 ("Layout
Intermediate Representation") and the interface of Chapter 9
("Constraint-Solver Interface") of the core specification
(spec/core_spec.pdf). This is Agent E's crate per spec/QUICKSTART.md — it
lands last among the implementation crates, building on Agent A's
epiphany-determinism and Agent B's epiphany-core (and on Agent C's
OperationKindTag for the edit-barrier types — see DECISIONS.md).
The IR sits between the score graph and two downstream consumers: the constraint solver, which resolves spacing and positioning, and the renderer, which produces final visual output. — Chapter 7
The score graph is the canonical truth about the music; this crate is a downstream projection of it. The transformation is a pipeline of four stages, each with its own type and a deterministic, provenance-preserving contract for the next.

The stub solver
Per the QUICKSTART, the v0 constraint solver is a stub: StubSolver returns
SolveStatus::Solved with the input geometry verbatim (each glyph's resolved
position is exactly its constrained baseline), preserves provenance, and reports
all hard constraints satisfied. The real solver — Cassowary or otherwise — comes
later (Chapter 9 specifies the interface, not the algorithm); v0 only needs to
round-trip IR through the solver interface to prove the contracts hold. The one
stub validates the full Chapter 7 §7.3.2 catalog identity and all slot, band,
and geometry cross-references before reporting Solved. Explicit constraints
are rejected because this interface-only solver cannot honestly evaluate them.
The round-trip (v0 acceptance criterion 6)
round_trip runs graph → LogicalLayoutIR → ConstrainedLayoutIR →
stub-solved ResolvedLayoutIR → RenderIR and asserts the contract every stage
must satisfy:
- the stub solver reports
Solvedwith all hard constraints satisfied; - the complete
Provenanceof every object —source,synthesis,dependencies, andstable_id— survives every stage unchanged; - no two objects ever share a
stable_id, so manifestation multiplicity is preserved (a source manifested in two regions stays two layout objects); - the stub solver returns the input geometry verbatim;
- the set of score-graph sources recovered from the
RenderIRis exactly the set laid out — a surjection onto graph identity (one source may back several manifestations, each with its own stable id).
Agent F's testkit drives this same entry point (layout_stub::round_trip) on the
10-measure single-staff hand-off fixture and the rich multi-region generator.
Algorithmic scope
Per the QUICKSTART ("a prototype baseline, not the product"), this crate implements the Chapter 7 IR contracts and interface types, not a production engraving engine. The real spacing and casting-off algorithms, quality-metric computation, constraint solver, and renderer remain later implementations of these interfaces.
Determinism
IR coordinates are single-precision staff spaces (StaffSpace(f32),
Chapter 7 §7.2); the canonical ResolvedLayoutIR output quantizes them to
the 1/1024 grid at serialization time
(ResolvedLayoutIR::canonical_bytes), exactly as Appendix D §"Quantized Layout
Coordinates" prescribes — quantization absorbs all f32 variation below 1/2048
staff space, so the canonical output is independent of the floating-point
environment. The glyph-catalog identity hashes its consulted metrics (advance,
bounding box, named anchors) under the MUSCFNTM domain tag, and the
edit-barrier types carry a canonical encoding with set-valued fields emitted in
canonical byte order (sorted and de-duplicated). See DECISIONS.md.
Tests
cargo test -p epiphany-layout-ir covers each module plus the round-trip on
Agent B's valid_score / valid_score_rich generators. The end-to-end v0
acceptance gate (criterion 6) lives in the testkit.
