Framing revision 3, plus the ledger and handoff updates the lane owes.
docs/active-work.md's "NEEDS A LANE" block is replaced rather than
annotated: the lane now has a branch, a framing, an implementation and
verification, so the old text's premise ("no branch, no framing yet")
was the part that needed removing. Its stale figures go with it — the
273-dark reading at 74301d1 and the seven-item clippy list, both
superseded and both explicitly labelled do-not-quote in the new block.
The corrections this lane produced, all now recorded where the next
reader will hit them:
* m10_10_perf is a CI-DEFAULT REGRESSION TRIPWIRE, not a bench. Its
bounds are deliberately generous "to catch catastrophic regressions,
not to verify a tight perf claim", so #[ignore]ing it to give it a
perf job would have reduced coverage inside a coverage lane. The
framing had this backwards through revision 1 and says so.
* gpu-render runs `cargo test -p pmacs-gpu` — a DIFFERENT PACKAGE from
the root-package GPU suites. The long-recorded fix-shape of "move
the GPU-requiring crdt suites onto gpu-render, it already has
lavapipe" does not work as written.
* PMACS_REQUIRE_GPU is not uniform: absent from
gpu_invocation_acceptance and gpu_initial_target_acceptance
entirely, so it cannot serve as blanket proof the GPU suites ran.
* The dark-test classification found THREE dispositions, not two:
benches awaiting a job, deliberately-manual operator tests, and
known-defect markers. Collapsing the second into the first gives a
CI job to tests whose #[ignore] reason says not to.
* §1.1's own target-column claim was wrong, and scripts/feature-census
caught it. Eleven targets run with zero tests under CI's flags;
eight of those gain tests under crdt and three are helper binaries
with no tests in either. The framing had merged two true statements.
Acceptance 9 is revised rather than quietly met at a lower bar. The
planned deliberately-broken-test bite is replaced by the --covers
coverage assertion plus the CI count reconciliation, and the doc states
what that trades: stronger on the claim specific to this lane (the old
job STRUCTURALLY cannot see these tests), and no longer proving that a
failing crdt test turns the job red — which is generic cargo and Actions
behavior, not anything this lane changes.
The handoff gains a census hazard beside the existing sweep note,
because every trap in it was hit while writing the script and one of
them survived two framing revisions: libtest prints `name: test` with no
space before the colon, a zero-test target prints only its Running line,
and both configurations need an --ignored pass or pre-existing ignores
get attributed to the feature.
The ledger also records what is NOT established, which is the lane's
whole remaining risk: the sweep is green SERIALIZED ON A DEVELOPER
MACHINE, and the failures this lane expects are hosted-runner timing and
concurrency. That green removes the "tests are wrong" explanation and
leaves the expected one untested. It must not be quoted as evidence the
CI leg will be green.
