From f1992a65d986c8abb095c9b376af92d51afd2ccb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Levi Neuwirth Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:21:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/49] docs(framing): open the GPU probe SIGINT teardown lane MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit `ctrl_c_on_launcher_group_does_not_reach_spawned_daemon` fails in gate stage `sweep-crdt` with "child did not exit within 5s". It is PRE-EXISTING on main --- 72da24a fails it in a clean worktree with its own target dir --- so while it reds, no branch can present a green sixteen-stage gate, main included. §5b is held behind this lane. Framing revision 1, and it proposes NO FIX, because the mechanism is not known. What it does instead is fix the shape of the problem so the next attempt is not another guess: - Ground truth, cited: neither binary handles signals. `run_gpu` (src/main.rs:324) blocks in `command.status()` with no handler, and grepping all of pmacs-gpu/src for signal machinery returns nothing. The probe polls at 50ms. Two processes with default SIGINT disposition should both die at once --- this deepens the puzzle rather than explaining it, and the framing says so. - Ruled out by measurement, with the method for each: load, tmpfs (tested by experiment, not argument), leaked daemons, inotify, --workspace feature unification, and any specific preceding test. - The reduction paradox stated as the problem's real shape: 5/5 in the full sweep, 0/N in every reduction, including all 37 preceding targets plus the suite. - One retracted claim kept as a warning, because it was mine: the "mechanism located" report described a healthy teardown. The sampler behind it caught 394 launchers with a 5s maximum lifetime while the failing instance must live 8s or more. The first step is diagnostic only: an instrument keyed on the FAILING instance --- launchers outliving ~6s --- capturing /proc//status signal masks, since SigIgn survives fork and exec while handlers do not. Acceptance criteria are written now so the fix cannot quietly become "make the test pass": a demonstrated mechanism with a mutation-tested witness, sweep-crdt green three consecutive times, the reduction paradox explained or recorded as unexplained, and no deadline raised or test skipped.

The >6s selector could not have captured the failure. Both reproducing binaries finish in ~5.19s INCLUDING the 5s timeout (:3097, :3131), so the failing launcher lives about 5.1s. This also falsifies my earlier retraction, which had argued the instance "must live >=8s" --- so the "mechanism located" claim is NOT refuted by that argument. It stays unproven for a different reason: the suite spawns launchers from five call sites, so command line alone cannot attribute one to this test. Key on the PID the test records. 2. Diagnostics rewritten to DISCRIMINATE blocked delivery, inherited ignore, and an escaped process group: before-and-after snapshots for test parent / launcher / probe, per-thread SigBlk from /proc//task/*/status, SigPnd/ShdPnd, and PID/PPID/PGID/SID. Relatedly, "two processes with default disposition" is withdrawn --- SIG_IGN is inherited across fork and survives exec, so absence of handler code says nothing about runtime disposition, and inherited ignore is the leading hypothesis precisely because the source is silent. Revision 1 contradicted its own hypothesis. 3. Counts corrected: 119 green result summaries and TWO red binaries, not "119 binaries green, one red". Reductions are now enumerated R1-R10 and F1-F5 with command, run count and log each, preserved off the tmpfs --- /tmp is a tmpfs and these were nearly lost mid-lane. 4. Acceptance contract corrected: A2 now requires three consecutive green runs on the reviewed fixed head of this branch, not on main, which is unobtainable before approval and merge; journey step 12(a) "closing is clean" is named, since revision 1 reasoned from grade movement which §20 warns against; and A5 is explicitly conditional on D4, with bet 1 restated as a bet --- the witness uses a wrapper and headless probe, not the real GUI path. 5. Portability closed: this branch now tracks githubsucks/gpu-probe-sigint-teardown, and panel-mapping-generation was pushed to 16cf3a2 so its retraction travels.

From 4e1ca68b4ca214d2a3890f100070e3aa3a1be9ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Levi Neuwirth Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:36:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 03/49] docs(framing): revision 3 --- R9 did not run the same binaries Five findings on revision 2, all upheld. The first invalidates its strongest claim. 1. R9 executed gpu_initial_target_acceptance-91f51d0b and gpu_invocation_acceptance-6b4b8223; the failing sweeps executed -5d9105cb and -d4dae4f0. Verified byte-different by sha256. Cargo's target selection changes the fingerprint, so command shape changes the executable. "Same binaries" is now "same target names and order". What the evidence supports is an INTERACTION --- prior targets alone green (R9), workspace artifacts alone green (R10), both together red (F1-F5) --- so --workspace selection is not sufficient by itself and NOT ruled out. The claim that other packages "cannot be implicated" because their targets run after the failure is withdrawn: later-selected packages can affect the build graph and fingerprints before their tests ever run. 2. Both ledgers made internally consistent and portable. This branch's asserted default-disposition death and then withdrew it further down; the assertion is gone. panel-mapping-generation still carried "119 binaries green one red", the >=8s arithmetic, the default-action claim and the >6s selector --- corrected on its own branch and pushed at 779a6bd. 3. Provenance is now a pushed document, docs/probe-sigint-evidence.md: exact command, worktree, HEAD, cleanliness, artifact family, result and log digest per physical run. R1 and R2 have no preserved log, and revision 2 double-counted one log as both R2 and R6. Cleanliness is UNKNOWN for every pre-manifest run and is not inferred. R1-R10 ran in the panel-mapping-generation worktree, not at main. D0 now precedes every other diagnostic: re-run the matrix at main under a harness capturing provenance AND the artifact hashes executed. 4. "The probe never blocks indefinitely" narrowed to "the event loop wakes at least every 50ms". The stdin reader blocks in read_to_end (:1109) and, once ready, the loop leaves only when stdin closes (:1212), so the process is not bounded. 5. Launcher call sites: six under --features crdt (:509 :534 :544 :574 :725 :1097, inside #[cfg(feature = "crdt")] mod crdt). The other two --gpu arguments are under #[cfg(not(...))] and compiled out. Revision 2 said five while citing eight.

From 9332d5a6168206728490dbdf94c37ae3df17fbe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Levi Neuwirth Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 15:50:53 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 04/49] docs(framing): revision 4 --- and the failure has a datable onset MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Four findings on revision 3, all upheld. Answering finding 1 turned up something that reframes the lane. THE ONSET. sweep-crdt appears SEVENTEEN times in this target directory's gate logs. The ctrl_c failure appears in exactly the LAST THREE, and the test passed --- both copies, "... ok" --- inside the stage before them. Last green 20260815T185708Z, first red 20260816T063330Z, no reboot between. The three earlier red sweeps failed on unrelated rows. So "pre-existing on main" holds (F1 at 72da24a reproduces it) but "always broken" was never established and is now contradicted. D0 gains a first part: bisect that window. A test that passed fourteen times in this stage and then failed three times running has a change behind it, and that is worth more than further reduction --- which has isolated nothing. 1. Both ledgers still carried the falsified R9 conclusions. This branch listed --workspace unification and preceding tests as ruled out while the section above described an interaction; said "five call sites" immediately before correcting to six; and labelled the framing revision 2. The held branch was worse: --workspace refuted, R9 "same binaries", later packages not implicable, cause cumulative across 37 binaries. All corrected and pushed (5b9abd8). §11 no longer asserts the held lane is clean; it records a re-verified checklist, since asserting that prematurely is what went wrong. 2. Manifest now carries complete argv for R7-R9 and F5 --- abbreviations are not reconstructable invocations. F5 is disambiguated: the framing cited gate ...-2144707 while the manifest cited ...-2375685, two distinct real runs. Enumerating them gives F1-F7: the red count is SEVEN, not five, each with its own log digest. F5 also carries an extra failing binary the others do not. 3. "Workspace artifact family" conflated Cargo suffix with byte identity and is withdrawn as a grouping. Demonstrated: F1 in the main worktree executed the same suffixes -5d9105cb and -d4dae4f0, but the bytes there are e0578039/00f06aeb versus the panel worktree's 1b3cc86c/ede0c07d. Each run now records the suffix its log shows and byte identity as UNKNOWN, since target dirs have been overwritten and a hash computed today is not the hash that ran. 4. The interaction table is demoted to a description of what was observed. Revision 3 disclaimed its inputs and then asserted a finding from them, which cannot both hold. A3 no longer speaks of an established "R9 paradox" --- there is none to explain, because the comparison was never made; it requires D0 to recreate it first.

The third changes what the lane should do next. 1. Section summaries still carried revision-3 language while the manifest carried revision 4's. Framing and ledger now agree: seven red runs (F1-F7), not five; the observation table is keyed on compilation set rather than an invented "workspace artifact family"; and it is labelled an observation, not an isolated interaction. 2. The onset count was wrong. Per test copy across the 17 sweep-crdt logs: 13 with both copies ok, 1 where NEITHER executed because the stage died compiling pmacs (error[E0308]), and 3 with both failed. Revision 4's "14 runs, 11 green, 3 red on other tests" mis-stated both the count and the kind --- one of those runs never reached the test. The two genuinely red-on-other-tests sweeps did execute ctrl_c, and it passed. 3. D0a cannot be a source bisect, and the evidence argues against one. Reflog and commit times put HEAD at 7599661 during the last green (3c06176 landed 40s after it finished) and at 724b785 during the first red (5174f73 landed 08:45:41, after that run ended 08:42:01; the manifest had recorded F6 at 5174f73, which was wrong). Cleanliness was captured at neither endpoint. And 72da24a is an ANCESTOR of the passing 7599661 yet fails today --- no source-monotonic cause produces that. D0a now reproduces the two endpoints CLEAN, in isolated target directories, and a bisect is justified only if they differ. 4. Manifest completed: R9 carries full argv rather than a recipe; R7 lists only gpu_invocation-6b4b8223, since R7 does not select gpu_initial_target; R10 lists both -5d9105cb and -d4dae4f0. Also withdraws "byte-different" everywhere. The bytes a historical run executed are not knowable --- target dirs have been overwritten, and a hash computed today is the current occupant's. Three levels are now kept apart in the manifest: suffix (known), today's bytes at a path (known), and the bytes a past run executed (UNKNOWN). Differing suffixes mean differing Cargo metadata hashes, which is enough to void the comparison and is all that is claimed.

The ancestry argument overreached. 72da24a failing today while its descendant 7599661 passed on 08-15 shows exactly one thing: outcome is not determined by commit alone, since the observations come from different environments at different times. Revision 5 said a source cause was "positively discouraged", that the ancestry "says to expect" equal endpoints, and that the change was environmental. None follows. It cannot discriminate an environmental change, a source/environment interaction, or a fix before 7599661 with a regression before 724b785 --- and an ancestor OUTSIDE the interval is irrelevant to whether the interval regressed, since a bisect over 7599661..724b785 needs only that the clean endpoints differ now. D0a is unchanged as an action but is now stated as a decision procedure with NO predicted outcome: endpoints differ -> bisect that interval; endpoints agree -> ask what else changed across the window. 2. The byte-identity withdrawal was incomplete in both ledgers. This branch's said the artifacts "are byte-different" and then withdrew it two lines later, still said R9 ran "different binaries", and still promised an "artifact family". The held ledger still said "byte-different" and still called the window a bisect target with revision 4's onset conclusion. Both now say "different Cargo suffixes/compilations" throughout; historical byte identity is UNKNOWN and is never claimed. 3. Provenance slips: R9's observation-table row listed only -6b4b8223 although it executed both -91f51d0b and -6b4b8223; R10's suffixes are at log lines 3 and 24, not 3 and 4; R9's are at 3066 and 3087, not 3066 alone. All corrected against the logs.

The ancestry pair supports nothing causal. Revision 6 had already retreated to "outcome is not determined by commit alone"; that is withdrawn too, because different commits CAN deterministically produce different outcomes --- this document's own fix-then-regression scenario is an example. The two observations differ in commit AND environment AND time, so they are simply NON-COMPARABLE. The held ledger's "no source-monotonic cause does that" goes with it. 2. D0a was not a valid decision procedure: one unspecified run per endpoint cannot establish a regression for a failure that only appears in the full sweep. Now specified --- N = 5 full sweep-crdt runs per endpoint, INTERLEAVED A/B/A/B so session drift hits both arms, identical captured conditions including uptime/free//tmp/ leaked-daemon count, and a bisect permitted ONLY on a clean split. A mixed result means intermittency under fixed source, and no bisect is justified at all. 3. "Neither binary contains signal-handling code" is FALSE. The pmacs binary does: install_signal_handlers (src/daemon.rs:628) registers SIGINT and SIGTERM; it is simply not on run_gpu's path. A grep of project sources also cannot exclude a runtime or dependency installing a disposition. The established fact is narrow --- no explicit installation on run_gpu's path --- and "whatever disposition they hold was inherited" is restored to a HYPOTHESIS that D2 must measure. 4. Artifact wording finished: no "artifact family", "reduction/ workspace artifacts" or "different binaries" remain. Every manifest row now carries its exact Cargo suffixes read from its log, with a stated caveat that those logs are machine-local and this manifest is the portable transcription of them. 5. Held ledger pointed at revision 5; it now points at revision 7.

The old one-run D0 rule survived in three durable places --- the manifest, this branch's ledger, and the framing's own §4a --- each still permitting a bisect when the endpoints merely "differ". That contradicts the N = 5 clean-split contract added in revision 7. All three now defer to that contract, and §4a's "needs only that the two clean endpoints differ now" is marked as the superseded rule it is. 2. D0a still overstated its evidence, in three ways now fixed: - "context-sensitive by construction, appearing only in the full sweep" is downgraded to what has been OBSERVED so far; - the historical 7/7 and 13/13 are stated as NOT endpoint-specific rates --- of seven reds only F6 ran at 724b785, of the greens only the last at 7599661, both with unknown cleanliness; - five runs are named a PREDEFINED EVIDENTIARY THRESHOLD chosen so the outcome cannot be argued after the fact, not something that mathematically separates intermittency. And the bisect now specifies its own classifier: every intermediate commit uses the identical N = 5 protocol, and a mixed classification ABORTS the bisect rather than being guessed, skipped, or rerun until it agrees. A bisect with cheaper steps than its endpoints would inherit the weakness the contract exists to remove. 3. The artifacts column is now exact per run, read from each log: R1/R2 UNKNOWN (no log preserved), R3 -5d9105cb/-d4dae4f0, R4 and R5 -6b4b8223 only, R6 -91f51d0b/-6b4b8223. R8's citation was half2.log:1; the executable lines are 438 and 459. The framing's last "not same binaries" is now "not the same compilations". 4. (Held ledger, 5274d6b.) It named a stale ledger tip and two different framing revisions on consecutive lines.

The classifier was not total. "Clean split" and "mixed" left five outcomes unprescribed, and two of them are in the historical logs already: 20260815T182846Z-708693 died compiling pmacs so neither copy executed, and ...-2839374 / ...-830195 were red on unrelated rows while both ctrl_c copies passed. A run is now classified from THE TWO COPIES OF THE TARGET TEST and nothing else --- green (both ok), red (both FAILED), split (copies disagree), void (either did not execute). A sweep red only on unrelated tests is therefore a green run, with the unrelated failures recorded as evidence about environment stability. A split STOPS the procedure, since two copies of one source disagreeing within a run is its own defect. Voids are discarded and re-run on a budget of 3, after which the environment is too unstable to classify anything and D0a stops. Endpoint verdicts are uniform green, uniform red, or mixed, and a six-row table prescribes every combination: clean split permits the bisect; an inverted split is a real difference that falsifies which endpoint was believed good; both-uniform-green and both-uniform-red each mean the difference is not captured by those commits; mixed at either endpoint means intermittency under fixed source and forbids a bisect. The manifest had attached "difference is not captured" to the mixed case --- that conclusion belongs to the uniform-same rows, and is moved. 2. Strict A/B/A/B does not make drift "hit both arms equally": B always follows A and owns the final time point. Runs are now counterbalanced AB BA AB BA AB, which removes systematic order confounding; the residual last-slot asymmetry is accepted and stated rather than claimed away.

The edit's anchor did not match and the script reported success anyway, so the commit touched only active-work.md and the framing. The manifest now defers to §7 D0a for the governing contract and states the three verdicts with the conclusions that actually belong to them: clean split permits the bisect, mixed means intermittency under fixed source, both-uniform-same means the difference is not captured by those two commits. Process note, since this is the third silent no-op of its kind in this lane: an unasserted string replace that misses its anchor is indistinguishable from one that succeeded.

The causal conclusion overreached, in the same way this lane has overreached before. Uniform-red at both endpoints today proves only that the two commits DO NOT DISCRIMINATE UNDER CURRENT CONDITIONS. "Source hypothesis eliminated", "the interval cannot contain the transition" and "unreachable by source" are withdrawn from the framing, the manifest and the ledger: a historical regression could be masked by a later environmental effect, or by a source/environment interaction under which both commits now fail. Failing to discriminate is not the same as not differing. "No bisect is justified under current conditions" is what survives, and the approved endpoint table's two uniform-same rows are corrected to say the same thing. 2. D0b was still mandatory, and going to D1/D2 would have skipped an approved step. It is now RETIRED AS A PRECONDITION with the reason recorded: it existed to make the reduction matrix trustworthy so the subset-vs-full comparison could locate the mechanism indirectly, and D0a has since produced a reliable direct reproduction that D1/D2 measure against. Re-running ten reduction rows to sharpen an indirect instrument while a direct one is in hand is the wrong order of work. The obligation is NOT discharged: A3 still binds, so if D1/D2 fail to account for why every subset passed, D0b runs before this lane closes. 3. Provenance is now portable. The exact per-run command and a transcribed ten-row table --- start time, class, red bins, load, freeMB, daemon count, log digest --- are committed, rather than delegated to a machine-local results.tsv. Raw logs stay local by design. The transcription also surfaces something the delegation hid: the leaked-daemon count climbs 72 -> 108, four per run, monotonically while every run classifies identically. Recorded, not implicated.

It was not. That script asserted its anchors and died on the second one --- the endpoint-table rows carry a two-space indent my anchor omitted --- and since it writes only at the end, NONE of the framing edits landed. The manifest and ledger edits in that commit are real; the framing ones were not, and I pushed the claim anyway. The assertions worked exactly as intended and I ignored their verdict: the shell chain ran `git commit` regardless of the script's exit status. Asserting the edit is not enough if the commit does not depend on it. Now actually applied to the framing: - §4b: "source hypothesis is eliminated", "the interval cannot contain the transition" and "not reachable by source" are withdrawn. What survives is that the two commits DO NOT DISCRIMINATE UNDER CURRENT CONDITIONS, so no bisect is justified now. A historical regression could be masked by a later environmental effect or a source/ environment interaction; failing to discriminate is not the same as not differing. The onset window is deprioritised, not excluded. - §7 endpoint table: both uniform-same rows now say the commits do not discriminate under current conditions, rather than that the interval does not contain the transition. - §7 D0b: retired as a precondition, with the reason recorded and the obligation preserved under A3 --- if D1/D2 do not account for the subset-vs-full difference, D0b runs before this lane closes.

The portable provenance was corrupted and incomplete --- worse than the machine-local pointer it replaced, because it looked verifiable and was not. Every log digest had lost its leading hex character (A#1 recorded as 1c0fe47d55d8f5e... where the value is e1c0fe47d55d8f5e): the extraction started one byte late in `logsha=`. The captured /tmp and MemAvailable columns were dropped, and the command block used ellipsed paths. All ten digests are corrected, both columns restored, and the command is written out in full with only two named placeholders. Separately: `uptime` was NEVER CAPTURED. §7's condition list names it; the harness kept the load averages from it and discarded the elapsed time. It is now recorded as UNKNOWN for all ten runs, with the condition list marked as only partially satisfied rather than implied met. The classifications stand --- none depends on uptime --- and D1/D2's harness must capture the whole list. 2. Retiring D0b materially changes the approved diagnostic sequence, which made D0b mandatory before every other diagnostic. The document still claimed revision 9, approved at 15c25ec, for a decision that approval does not contain. Promoted to revision 10 and marked AWAITING APPROVAL; D0a's execution and result are reported under revision 9, and D1/D2 do not begin until revision 10 is approved.

Nothing it does changes what the test asserts. It found the mechanism on the first reproducing run, and the answer is that I caused the failure. SIGINT was IGNORED by every process in the target group. SigIgn=0x1007 on the test parent, the launcher and the probe --- signals 1, 2, 3, 13, and signal 2 is SIGINT. All SigPnd/ShdPnd and every per-thread SigBlk are zero, so this is ignored delivery, not blocked delivery; launcher and probe share pgid, so nothing escaped the group. kill(-pgid, SIGINT) is a no-op, the launcher waits in do_wait for a child never told to stop, and the 5s deadline fires. The ignore is inherited from the shell. Measured both ways: a foreground child has SigIgn=0x1000 (SIGPIPE only), a `setsid nohup ... &` child has SigIgn=0x0007 (SIGHUP|SIGINT|SIGQUIT). SIG_IGN is inherited across fork AND survives exec, so it reaches the probe. Controlled experiment, same command and tree minutes apart: foreground both copies ok, backgrounded both copies FAILED. I adopted `setsid nohup ... &` on 08-16 to stop the Bash tool's ten -minute cap truncating gate runs. That is the "onset" this lane spent nine revisions investigating. The subset-vs-full distinction was never real --- every reduction ran foreground, every full sweep backgrounded, perfectly confounded --- so §4's matrix measured my invocation method. D0a's both-uniform-red is consistent: it backgrounded both arms. Consequences: bet 1 is falsified and A5 struck, since an interactive terminal does not ignore SIGINT and Ctrl-C on a real session works. The probe's shutdown path is not defective. What remains is a runner practice and a test that fails obscurely when its precondition is absent. Framing promoted to revision 11, AWAITING APPROVAL, because the problem statement has changed and the §7/§8 remedy no longer follows.

The operative contract still said the opposite of §4c. Bet 1 read as open; §7 said the mechanism was unknown with D3/D4 pending; §8 kept the old criteria and a conditional A5; §9 claimed a journey-12(a) product repair; the ledger and the revision-10 paragraph still said D1/D2 had not started. Each is now rewritten as executed, withdrawn, discharged or superseded --- §9 in particular now records journey steps touched: NONE, for the stated reason that no product behaviour changes, with gate trustworthiness named as what the lane does affect. 2. The causal evidence is now portable and cleanly reproduced. The first capture came from d12.log, which finished five minutes BEFORE afe3631 committed the diagnostic code and ran in the reused d0a-B target --- inadmissible provenance, now marked as the first sighting only. Replaced by controlled arms on committed head 38f2af4, dirty=0, in this worktree's own target, with BYTE-IDENTICAL binary hashes across arms (0890b78cca22ac1e, ef6ff1c15e11062a): foreground exit=0 ok=2, background exit=101 failed=2 SigIgn=0x1007. The outer invocation is recorded as a first-class column, since it is the causal variable and every earlier "exact command" omitted it. The historical foreground/background mapping is marked RECONSTRUCTED from the transcript, not captured --- no pre-existing row carries an outer-invocation field, which is precisely why the matrix stayed confounded for nine revisions. 3. D4 was never executed, so bet 1 is WITHDRAWN BY SCOPE rather than falsified, and A5 is RETIRED BY SCOPE rather than struck. Nothing here shows a real wgpu session behaves correctly; what is shown is that no observed evidence of a user-facing defect survives. The lane is now gate/test correctness only. 4. The remedy is not selected. §7b evaluates four candidates --- runner normalisation, an early gate guard, fixture isolation via pre_exec, and a test-local precondition assertion --- with portability as a selection criterion, noting /proc is Linux-only while the suite is cfg(unix) and sigaction querying is unsafe. Likely R-b + R-d, but nothing is chosen or implemented here. Revision 11's leap from "pre_exec is unsafe" to "therefore an assertion" did not follow. Also renames the meaningless african_close() helper (38f2af4).

Withdrawn claims were still asserted elsewhere. The header and §4c's consequences still said bet 1 FALSIFIED, A5 STRUCK, and that a real pmacs --gpu "behaves correctly" --- none of which D4 established, since D4 never ran. Both now say withdrawn/retired BY SCOPE, with the explicit note that nothing here shows a real session is correct, only that no observed evidence of a user-facing defect survives. §4c's pre_exec-implies-assertion conclusion is replaced by a pointer to §7b/§7c. A3/D0b are marked SATISFIED by the controlled explanation --- D0b is not owed and will not run. §9's "Beyond step 12(a)" is gone, since no journey step is touched. The ledger no longer says implementation-absent, mechanism-unknown, or D1/D2-next. 2. Provenance made portable. Both arm commands are fully expanded rather than delegating to a machine-local arms.sh. Full SHA-256 of the two executed binaries are recorded; the 16-character log values are relabelled PREFIXES and carry no claim. The standalone foreground/background SigIgn table is labelled UNRECORDED CORROBORATION --- read ad hoc, no head, no log, no digest --- and the portable probe supersedes it as the recorded check. Remedy selected, §7c: R-b + R-d through one checked-in helper wrapping a behavioural probe --- sh -c 'trap "exit 23" 2; kill -INT $$; exit 0' --- which exits 23 when SIGINT is deliverable and 0 when inherited as ignored. Verified here in both contexts. POSIX shell only, so it answers §7b's portability criterion: no /proc, so not Linux-only, and no sigaction, so no unsafe. scripts/gate fails immediately with the explicit diagnosis; the target test reports the same precondition failure if run directly; no override, because a gate under ignored SIGINT cannot produce valid evidence. R-c rejected. The Linux-only D1/D2 instrumentation is removed once its evidence is portable. A1-A5 are replaced for the new work --- guard bite, direct-test diagnosis, foreground success unaffected, mutation, and an otherwise unchanged gate --- with the old teardown criteria kept in §8b, marked non-binding, so the change of target is visible rather than silent.

The arm provenance was malformed and over-claimed. The "fully expanded" background command still contained and placeholders; both table rows were one cell short of the header, putting log prefixes under "binary hashes" and leaving the digest column empty; and the full binary hashes had been read later from reused paths, which cannot retroactively prove what each arm executed --- the same provenance rule this document states in §7, applied against my own record. Rather than weaken the claim, the arms were re-run at head 77b623c with FULL SHA-256 captured per run, immediately after each run, before anything could rebuild them. Both arms: identical 0890b78c...4124c and ef6ff1c1...c696, dirty=0, fg exit=0 ok=2, bg exit=101 failed=2 SigIgn=0x1007. Byte identity is now carried by the capture rather than by inference. Commands are written out with no placeholders, and the table cells line up. 2. The ledger still transported superseded operative instructions: a "remedy not selected" heading, D0b still owed under A3, journey step 12(a) still assigned, and the old three-consecutive-run A2 contract. All four now match revision 12's §8/§9 --- remedy selected, D0b satisfied and not owed, journey steps NONE with gate trustworthiness named instead, and A1-A7 replacing the three-run contract, which was written for a flakiness that is now explained. 3. The helper contract was not total. The raw probe reaches exit 0 both when the kill was a no-op AND when the kill itself failed, so a broken probe would report "inherited SIG_IGN" and fail the gate for the wrong reason. The helper now owns the classification and returns one of safe / ignored / error; consumers consume the verdict and never re-derive it. `error` is not folded into `ignored` --- it fails the gate with a different diagnosis, because "your environment ignores SIGINT" and "the guard could not run" are different problems. A6 witnesses the distinct error outcome, A7 requires a non-Linux unix exercise or an explicit statement of what was tried, and A4 gains a mutation for collapsing error into ignored. R-b's stale "needs an explicit override" is reconciled with §7c's no -override decision.

The inner probe's `|| exit 24` arms are the load-bearing part --- without them a FAILED kill also falls through to exit 0 and gets misread as inherited SIG_IGN, which is the one wrong answer the helper exists to prevent. R-b: scripts/gate runs it before any stage and stops on a non-zero status, surfacing the helper's stderr unchanged and adding only that no stage ran. It does not re-derive the classification or supply its own wording. Plan/print modes skip it, since they run nothing. No override. R-d: the target test calls the same helper first and panics with "precondition failed --- this is NOT a teardown defect" plus the helper's own stderr, instead of reaching the misleading "child did not exit within 5s". The Linux-only /proc D1/D2 instrument is removed now that its evidence is portable, taking the platform dependency with it. Witnesses: A1 backgrounded gate stops before stage 1 with the ignored diagnosis, exit 1. A2 backgrounded direct test reports the precondition failure, NOT the 5s deadline. A3 foreground: both target copies pass in 0.16s and the guard is silent. A4 mutations measured, each biting its named row --- removing the trap bites A3 (fg 0->2), treating inner 0 as safe bites A1/A2 (bg 1->0), collapsing error into ignored bites A6 (forced 2->1). A5 the full default gate passes all 8 stages foreground, and --print-plan is byte-identical to HEAD's: no stage added, removed, reordered or made conditional. A6 forced probe failure yields exit 2 and the error wording, not the ignored wording. A7 exercised on Linux x86_64 only, all three outcomes; no non-Linux unix was reachable, so A7 stays OPEN there and the portability argument is labelled contract-level, not measured. Also records that this session's tool-level background mode leaves SIGINT deliverable while setsid nohup ... & does not --- so the construct that caused this lane was never necessary for long runs.

R-b's non-zero handling was unreachable. scripts/gate runs under `set -eu`, so the bare helper invocation killed the shell at exit 1 or 2 and neither `sigint_status=$?` nor the refusal messages ever ran; an unexecutable helper would have escaped as raw 126/127 rather than boundary error 2. Reproduced before fixing. The first repair was ALSO wrong, and worse: `if ! helper; then sigint_status=$?; fi` captures the status of the NEGATED condition, which is always 0, so the gate printed the ignored diagnosis and then ran the entire suite. The working shape is `helper || sigint_status=$?` --- failure handled, so `set -e` does not fire and `$?` is the helper's own --- which is the idiom the helper already uses internally. Statuses 1 and 2 pass through unchanged; everything else, including 126/127, maps to 2 at the boundary and is never reported as "SIGINT is ignored". The guard also moved to immediately after the worktree resolves, before any log directory, ambient root or tmpdir exists, so a refused run leaves nothing behind. 2. The behaviour had no durable coverage, which is exactly why 27 passing gate tests missed both bugs. Four rows added: helper safe, helper ignored, helper error (and never ignored), and gate refusal before stage 1. Ignored-SIGINT is simulated with `trap "" INT`, which is the real mechanism --- SIG_IGN inherited across fork and surviving exec --- not a stand-in. Verified to bite: mutating the gate back to either shipped bug fails gate_refuses_to_start_when_sigint_is_ignored and nothing else. 3. The ledger now records the implementation, both bugs, the four rows and their mutation check. 4. A7 is recorded SATISFIED BY DISCLOSURE, which is the fallback revision 12 allows when no non-Linux unix is reachable. The earlier "stays open" contradicted the approved contract and is withdrawn. Tried: Linux x86_64, all three outcomes, all consumers. Not tried: every non-Linux unix. Claimed: POSIX shell only, no /proc, no sigaction --- labelled a contract argument, not a measurement. The full default gate passes all eight stages foreground; it caught a rustfmt violation in the new test code on the first attempt, which is the guard-and-gate arrangement working as intended.

A6 was witnessed only for the helper. Both consumers now have real -path rows. Gate side, driven through a stub worktree --- a temp git repo holding a copy of scripts/gate and a controlled helper --- so the gate's own code path runs against each verdict without touching the checked-in helper: a stub exiting 2 refuses with the ERROR wording and never "SIGINT is ignored"; a NON-EXECUTABLE stub maps 126 to boundary error 2 with its own wording. That second case is what the original guard got wrong twice. R-d side: the precondition is split into sigint_diagnosis() -> Result, so the message is testable rather than reachable only through a panic in a test that cannot run under the condition it describes. The new row asserts safe proceeds, ignored says so and says "NOT a teardown defect", error says "could not determine" and never "ignored", and an unrunnable helper is undecidable at the boundary. 2. The refusal row violated this suite's no-recursion constraint: it invoked the ordinary gate, so a regression of the exact `if !` bug would have launched eight real gate stages inside the gate suite. It now uses --self-test, which drives the same runner over a hardcoded synthetic plan, so the negative path stays bounded whatever the guard does. under_ignored_sigint() also takes the program and arguments POSITIONALLY --- `exec "$@"` --- instead of interpolating them into script text, which broke for any path containing a space or shell metacharacter, and every path here comes from a tempdir or CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR. 3. The portable checkpoint is recorded: implementation at 3206433, pushed, signed, clean, full default gate green 8/8 foreground. The framing header no longer says implementation "may proceed" --- it reports IMPLEMENTED. And docs/agent-handoff.md §3 gains the durable rule: never start the gate or cargo test from a shell that ignores SIGINT, `setsid nohup ... &` is forbidden, SIG_IGN is inherited across fork and survives exec, the gate refuses with no override, and scripts/check-sigint-deliverable answers the question directly. 35 gate-acceptance rows, 16 gpu_invocation_acceptance rows, full gate green.

The ledger said 35 gate-acceptance rows. The suite has 33. The 35 was git_status_stage1_acceptance's result line, which sits immediately below gate_script_acceptance's in the sweep log; I read the wrong one. The correction names the misread so the next reader can see how a transcription from a sweep log goes wrong. The framing header newly attributed revision 12's approval to 7752bcb. It was 1fc0df6 --- as the ledger says and as 7752bcb's own commit message says in its first line. Restored. The full gate is re-run on THIS commit rather than on the tree that preceded it; the previous run finished twenty seconds before 167d830 was committed, so it described an uncommitted tree.

The preceding attempt on the SAME head is kept rather than dropped. It failed 04-lib-crdt and 07-sweep on four wall-clock rows --- the composition budget, the summary-flatten scaling row, dired's 200ms budget and a lean4 progress notification --- none of which touches this lane's change. Load average was 49.6 and an unrelated ./verify_task_state.sh run was compiling under a separate toolchain at /usr/local/rustup, having started about three minutes in and overlapping precisely the two failing stages. That overlap is recorded as evidence of WHEN, not proof of WHY.

An unexecutable helper makes macOS /bin/sh exit 1, which the ABI already reads as `ignored`, so the gate told the operator their environment ignores SIGINT when in fact the guard never ran. Linux returns 126 and mapped it correctly, which is why local gating never saw it. Five of six SIGINT rows pass on macOS; this is the sixth. My proposed repair --- move `ignored` from 1 to 3 --- was rejected in review, correctly: it relocates the collision rather than closing it, since an execution failure can return any nonzero status. The generalisation is what matters: NO EXIT STATUS CAN PROVE THE HELPER RAN. Revision 13 therefore replaces the status-only ABI with a validated (status, token) pair --- 0/1/2 paired with pmacs-sigint-v1:safe / :ignored / :error, token on stdout, diagnostics on stderr. Any other pair, including macOS's status 1 with no token, is a boundary error mapped to 2. The public status meanings are preserved; what changes is that a status must now be corroborated by something only the helper could have printed. Every refusing branch must also print the observed status and the token state --- valid, missing or unexpected --- as diagnostic context, never as the classifier. Revision 12 printed the number only in its catch-all, so the macOS path had to be identified indirectly by which message text appeared. A4 gains four token mutations, each named against the row it must bite, including accepting a missing token --- the shipped defect itself. A6 is extended to cover missing, mismatched and unknown tokens in both consumers, and a new A6a makes the macOS case a concrete obligation: status 1 with no token must classify as boundary error, never ignored, and the row is satisfied only when that platform is green. Also records that A7 earned its keep: satisfied by disclosure because the portability claim was argued rather than measured, and wrong the first time it was measured. No implementation. PR #241 stays blocked.

The first was the worst: the document specified a validated pair and then printed an algorithm that emits no tokens and a consumer flow that proceeds on exit 0 alone --- accepting 0 with a missing token, the exact defect revision 13 forbids. 1. The algorithm now emits exactly one token per arm on stdout with diagnostics on stderr; the consumer flow is pair-validation with explicit normalisation (strip one trailing newline, trim ASCII whitespace, require exactly one line); and the outcome table is keyed on pairs, with a fourth row for boundary error including macOS's status 1 with no token. `safe` is validated like the others --- a status arriving without its token did not come from this helper. 2. A6a is SCOPED TO THE GATE. R-d never sees a shell status: the gate goes through /bin/sh, which turns an exec failure into an exit status, while Rust's Command returns a spawn error with no status at all --- conformance row 12, not row 5. And macOS CI does not compile R-d's test, which is crdt-gated while the macOS jobs build without crdt. R-d on macOS is unexercised, and the framing says so rather than implying coverage. 3. A7 is restated against measurement. It cannot still say no non-Linux unix was tried when macOS ran and went red: five of six helper/gate rows pass there, one defect is named, R-d is recorded Linux-only, and the remaining portability claim is labelled a contract argument. 4. "Both consumers use the same helper so they can never disagree" is withdrawn --- true when the status WAS the verdict, false once each consumer validates a pair independently in a different language. Replaced by a twelve-case conformance matrix both validators must agree on, including the macOS case and a normalisation case. 5. The token-to-stderr mutation is remapped from A2 to A1/A3, with the reasoning recorded: with stdout empty every outcome becomes boundary error, which still satisfies A2 as written since A2 only requires "not the deadline message". A2 stays broad and A6 pins which diagnosis appears. The ledger is aligned: the mechanism is established rather than hypothesised, the "stderr prints the raw status" claim is corrected --- the number appears only in the catch-all, and this failure took the other branch --- and revision 12 is marked superseded.

The first defeats the whole design if left standing. 1. Boundary errors trusted unvalidated stderr. A helper exiting 1 with NO token but the canonical "SIGINT is ignored" text would classify as boundary error --- correctly --- and then tell the operator their environment ignores SIGINT. A6 satisfied in the classification, violated in the message actually read. Now: a validated pair's stderr IS the diagnosis and is surfaced unchanged; a boundary failure's stderr is untrusted, and the consumer emits its own wording, omitting the child's or labelling it untrusted. New A6b witnesses exactly that case (conformance row 23), with a mutation for a consumer that surfaces it anyway. 2. The matrix did not prove exact-pair validation: no invalid status-2 pair existed, and the expected column collapsed validated (2, :error) with boundary errors, so a validator accepting every status 2 passed all twelve rows. The matrix is now a 23-case cross-product distinguishing `error (validated)` from `error (boundary)`, with (2, missing), (2, :safe), (2, :ignored) and (2, unknown-version) all boundary. New A6c pins it. 3. Normalisation was internally inconsistent and not implementable identically. "Strip one newline then trim ASCII whitespace" removes further newlines, so TOKEN\n\n would have validated while the same clause demanded single-line output --- and POSIX $() strips ALL trailing newlines while Rust returns raw bytes, so the consumers could not have agreed even on a correct rule. Replaced by one byte grammar, stdout := TOKEN | TOKEN LF, with NO trimming, plus the shell sentinel idiom `out=$(helper; printf x); out=${out%x}` so the shell preserves what it must compare. Vectors added for extra newline, leading newline, surrounding spaces, CRLF and doubled token. 4. The ledger's old A7 assertion --- satisfied by disclosure, Linux-only, no non-Linux unix reachable --- contradicted its own macOS record twenty lines above. Marked explicitly as revision-12 history with the live record named.

The sentinel idiom destroys the helper status. In out=$("$helper"; printf x) the last command is printf, so the assignment returns 0 whatever the helper did --- measured: a helper exiting 1 gives assignment status 0. 2. A shell variable cannot carry the byte grammar. Command substitution drops NUL in POSIX sh and bash --- and, measured here, zsh KEEPS it. So TOKEN NUL validates in one shell and not another, which is worse than lossy for a contract two consumers must implement identically. Both defects live in variable capture, so the spec now uses file-backed capture: redirect stdout and stderr to files, read the helper's own status directly, and compare bytes with `cmp` against generated want/want_lf files. Files preserve every byte including NUL; Rust compares out.stdout against TOKEN and TOKEN+LF. If a future consumer must use a variable, the status has to be carried out explicitly and the NUL divergence still bars a byte-equality claim --- both recorded. 3. The matrix was not the claimed cross-product: it omitted (1, unknown-version) and applied malformed and whitespace cases only at status 0, so a validator that checked tokens strictly for 0 and accepted arbitrary status-1 output passed all 23 rows. Replaced by a generated ten-token-class x three-status cross-product --- only the diagonal validates, the other 27 combinations are boundary errors --- plus four out-of-band cases: out-of-range status, spawn failure, the untrusted-stderr case, and stderr noise on an otherwise valid pair. 34 cases. The stale "same twelve cases" sentence is gone.

The file-backed snippet dropped `|| status=$?` and invoked the helper bare. Under scripts/gate's `set -eu` that terminates the gate at the helper's non-zero exit, before the status is ever read --- which is the ORIGINAL shipped bug, reintroduced in the very section written to replace it. The load-bearing shape is restored and commented as such. 2. $tmp does not exist where the guard runs. The guard sits immediately after the worktree resolves and deliberately precedes the log directory, ambient root and GATE_TMPDIR, so it must create and own its capture directory --- with the cleanup trap armed BEFORE the helper is invoked, and a disarm on the safe path so the gate's own later trap setup is undisturbed. New A8 witnesses that no capture directory survives any path, including failure to create one: the guard was placed early to leave nothing behind, and a capture directory must not weaken that. 3. The case count was fiction. T0 + LF is a valid third encoding per status --- and is what the shipped helper actually emits, since it prints with echo --- and "a different valid token" has two possibilities per status, so sampling one left half the mismatches untested. Now enumerated: two valid encodings, six mismatched valid-token pairs each in both encodings, eight malformed classes, giving 14 per status x 3 = 42, plus four out-of-band cases = 46. Earlier drafts claimed twelve, then twenty-three, then thirty-four, each a count of a set that had not been enumerated; the document now says so.

The shell algorithm now removes and disarms its guard-local capture on the safe path, selects the expected token through an explicit status case before any set-u-sensitive use, and sends every out-of-range status straight to boundary error. The load-bearing `|| status=$?` remains in place. A mechanical set-eu exercise covers safe, ignored, validated error, status 126 and capture-creation failure; every path returns the specified public status and leaves no capture residue. The conformance accounting now distinguishes the 45 cases shared by the shell and Rust validators from Rust's additional no-status spawn-error case. A shell exec failure necessarily becomes a shell status, so it cannot exercise that Rust-only input. The text also stops claiming that Rust uses file-backed capture: only the shell needs files, while Rust compares Command::output byte vectors directly. No remedy implementation.

This closes the macOS defect CI found: a shell that cannot execute the helper exits 1, which the status-only ABI read as `ignored`, so a broken guard told the operator their environment ignores SIGINT. Gate (shell consumer): - guard-local capture directory, created before the gate's own temporary roots exist, with cleanup armed BEFORE the helper runs and disarmed on the safe path so the gate's later trap is undisturbed; - `|| sigint_status=$?` retained --- a bare invocation dies under `set -eu` before the status is read, which was the original bug; - `expected_token` selected by an explicit status case before any `set -u`-sensitive use, since an out-of-range status has none; - byte comparison via `cmp` against both permitted encodings, because a shell variable neither preserves NUL nor carries the child status; - the helper's stderr is surfaced ONLY for validated verdicts; a boundary failure prints the gate's own wording and withholds the untrusted child output; - every refusing branch prints status= and token=. R-d (Rust consumer) validates the same pair from Command::output() bytes. It needs no capture files, and its spawn-error path has no status at all --- the boundary the shell cannot represent. Conformance: 45 shared cases generated as a cross-product over token class, encoding and status, run by BOTH validators so they cannot diverge, plus Rust's X2 for 46 overall. 34 gate rows, 16 GPU rows, full gate green. Mutations, each biting its row: accepting any status 2 regardless of token; surfacing child stderr on a boundary failure; emitting the token to stderr. The first is caught by the dedicated error row rather than the conformance set --- most of the set's boundary cases have empty stderr, so they cannot tell which branch produced the exit 2 --- and that limitation is recorded rather than left implicit.

Neither suite distinguished a validated refusal from a boundary error. Both exit 2 (and both produce Err in Rust), so comparing exit codes or is_ok() let a validator that accepts EVERY status-2 pair pass the whole matrix --- the precise defect A6c exists to catch. Every stub now emits a sentinel on stderr, and an Outcome enum (Safe / ValidatedIgnored / ValidatedError / Boundary) is asserted branch-exact: a validated verdict must surface the sentinel, a boundary failure must withhold it. Verified: mutating the gate to accept any status 2 now fails the MATRIX, where before it only failed a dedicated row. Each helper arm's exact stdout token is asserted as well. 2. The 45-case set was duplicated in both suites and could drift while both still reported length 45. It now lives in tests/common/sigint_conformance.rs and both validators consume the same vectors. 3. A8 was incomplete --- nothing forced capture-directory creation to fail. A bounded row points TMPDIR at a missing directory so `mktemp -d` fails, asserting boundary error 2, no stage execution and no residue; mutating the failure branch to fall through makes it fail. Temporary directories are RAII throughout, replacing the keep()-plus-manual-cleanup shape. 4. The R-d comment still claimed a shared helper means the consumers "can never disagree" and described status-only behaviour. Both were withdrawn by revision 13; the comment now points at the shared matrix as what actually keeps them in step. 36 gate rows, 16 GPU rows, clippy clean, full gate green.

The first was red CI that my local gate could not have caught. 1. `crate::common` cannot resolve when gpu_invocation_acceptance.rs is compiled as a nested module of gpu_initial_target_acceptance.rs, where `crate::` is the outer test crate. Now `super::common`, which resolves in both modes --- verified by compiling each target explicitly. Clippy's `(Some(1 | 2), true)` folding applied too. The reason this shipped: plain `./scripts/gate` omits sweep-crdt, the only stage that compiles the nested target under crdt, while 04-lib-crdt builds the lib alone. This lane gates with `--protocol`, and the ledger now says so. 2. X3 and X4 had stopped being the cases the framing specifies: stub_script() gave every case the same sentinel stderr, so X3 lacked the canonical ignored text and X4 was byte-identical to 0/V/safe/bare --- 45 entries, 43 distinct inputs. Case now carries an explicit stderr payload; X3 emits the canonical wording with no token, and both consumers assert they never repeat it. 3. The capture-creation-failure row asserted exit, wording and stage output but not residue. It now inspects the temporary root before its RAII drop and requires it empty. 4. The exact-token test covered safe and error but not ignored, despite the ledger claiming all three. The ignored arm now asserts its exact stdout, driven through a SIGINT-ignoring shell. 5. The ledger's claim that the status-2 mutation is caught only by the dedicated row is superseded --- the sentinel matrix catches it --- and the self-referential "this commit" is replaced by bc7d776. Also records two PRE-EXISTING crdt-only failures found while gating properly (m4_24_bare_string_glob_stays_relative and m4_24_d3_fallback_base_is_the_smallest_attachment_dir): they reproduce in isolation and fail identically at 72da24a, so they are not this lane's, and no cause is claimed for them.

Both suites asserted only `cases.len() == 45`, so the exact 45-entries-over-43-distinct-inputs regression could recur unnoticed --- the one where X3 collapsed into 1/E/empty and X4 into 0/V/safe/bare, leaving two framing-specified cases silently unexercised. shared_cases() now asserts uniqueness over (status, stdout, stderr), inside the generator so no consumer can forget it. Verified by reverting both payloads to the sentinel: it fails naming X3. 2. Comments and ledger still said every stub emits the sentinel, which the explicit X3/X4 payloads had made false. They now say the BRANCH-DISCRIMINATING cases carry it while X3 and X4 deliberately carry their own --- X3 the canonical ignored wording with no token, X4 noise --- and that this is what makes them distinct inputs. The duplicated `self::`/`super::` explanation left over from the nesting fix is reduced to the correct one.
