Lower and verify Edict compare-and-set operations with recovery evidence

[flyingrobots]

Plain-English Walkthrough

TL;DR

Edict-authored compare-and-set operations can now lower to Echo's existing bounded update program, pass the separately implemented verifier, and execute through scheduler-owned Actions. Previously this provider path selected only create-if-absent. [claim:provider-selection, confidence:0.95]

The exact package emitted by a pinned public Edict compiler now has executable witnesses for matched updates, stale-digest noncommit, invalid projection refusal, replacement bounds, and fresh-host recovery. [claim:runtime-witness, confidence:0.95] This addresses the Echo prerequisite in #763. Keep content-addressed storage is outside this change.

Walkthrough

The lowerer selects the program from the authenticated operation profile and requires agreement with the adapter intrinsic, write class, Target IR and target configuration. Compare-and-set configuration supplies an explicit expected-digest input field distinct from the node-key and replacement fields. The verifier reconstructs the expected package independently and rejects substituted digest paths. [claim:provider-selection, confidence:0.95] Both providers retain their own validation code; no shared acceptance oracle or new dependency is introduced.

The projected invocation has a distinct wire schema. Its canonical application input participates in invocation identity, and static admission requires the input's 32-byte expected digest to equal the invocation precondition. Legacy invocation encodings and create projections retain their prior field sets. [claim:input-binding, confidence:0.95]

The flow preserves the compiler, provider and runtime authority boundaries:

Caption: Compiler output through witnessed execution

1. The compiler emits artifacts from authored source rather than test-manufactured Core or Target IR.
2. Separate provider verification precedes runtime admission of pinned package bytes.
3. The scheduler evaluates the explicit basis and expected value under installed authority and budgets.
4. Fresh hosts reconstruct pending Actions, committed results and stale-value obstructions from the retained WAL.

The new test uses the ordinary Action API and registers no application callback. It checks the target's type and bytes, committed result bytes, receipt digest and commit identity. Because the target is detached, it does not confuse an unchanged reachable-state root with absence of a write. [claim:runtime-witness, confidence:0.95]

Compatibility and limits

The configuration ABI remains v1 with a new program-kind choice; older providers reject the unsupported choice. The generated schema and checked provider components change identities together. Two clean component build rounds produced byte-identical lowerer/verifier binaries. [claim:production, confidence:0.95]

The retained public build uses Edict commit 2405a550e93e1e97fff640caa44bbd0f65ffff3c, not an unspecified latest compiler. Its executable-package SHA-256 is 4d671f8d9515c7d60c82e938103e59231eecab3c60782874f2d6fc2ff27c0d17. The runtime test pins those bytes. [claim:production, confidence:0.95]

The public run-edict-operation CLI still selects create-if-absent. The compare-and-set lifecycle witness uses the trusted-host API and explicit projected wire encoding. This is not general application-input schema validation, Keep adoption, or an encryption feature.

Integration and validation

Merged main through 2c976ef5 in 7bda832c15960e6ddd54e0d6c1fa91a079b9b20f, preserving source functions and observation sessions. The subsequent argument-binding fix is f25c39d4; 7fa935a1 adds only missing fixture-documentation license headers. Historical run coordinates below are deliberate: they do not assert that every check has been rerun after the fix.

Evidence scope	Observed result	Remaining limit
Argument-binding fix, native providers	cargo +1.96.0 test --locked -p echo-edict-provider-verifier --test executable_operation_package: 70 passed; corresponding lowerer suite: 13 passed; strict provider-library Clippy passed	Affected provider/host checks completed; full local workspace gate not claimed
Corrected production components	Two clean builds reproduced both components byte-for-byte; generated-artifact/package checks passed	Reproducibility does not prove semantic completeness
Corrected public compiler controls	Direct input reproduced the original 2472-byte package and 912-byte report; transformed replacement returned structured ProviderLowererRefused, exit 2, and no published CBOR artifacts	Historical erroneous package was not executed
Runtime witnesses at 4894eb4b, before main integration	Five edict_projected_cas_tests passed, including exact 256-byte acceptance / 257-byte refusal; strict test-target Clippy passed	Rerun passed after the package-admission fix
Main integration before argument fix	Lowerer executable 13, contracts 45, verifier executable 69, schema 2, package 17, corpus 4 passed	Two remaining-gate runs were stopped by resource-monitor Docker unpause errors; these are incomplete runs
Earlier host contract at 8a09a4ab	51 passed across conformance/helper/host/package/resource suites	Current-source Docker rerun passed 51 tests
Header-only fix at 7fa935a1	SPDX CI job 113218091104 passed	Other current-head jobs and reviews must complete

Observed behavioral RED/GREEN: projected invocation lost input before the codec fix; providers initially refused the new program; the under-budget witness exposed acceptance of three steps; generated-schema witnesses rejected valid compare-and-set shapes. The argument-binding regression then failed because a transformed effect argument was accepted. The fix independently validates the direct application-input reference in both providers. [claim:direct-input-closure, confidence:0.95] Later runtime characterization tests are not claimed as new RED/GREEN cycles.

The argument-binding finding is addressed in code and focused production controls. Logs and receipts are retained in Reader delivery c604bc0e-c363-4e7f-903b-3366330b42a1; executable tests and compiler artifacts are checked in. Arbitrary transformed arguments remain unsupported and are explicitly refused.

The final current-source contract run passed 45 lowerer-contract tests, 17 package tests, four corpus tests and 51 provider-host tests in guarded Docker. Reader delivery and raw receipts retain this scoped result; it is not a full local workspace gate.

The package-admission follow-up in 7658303a rejects projected packages whose digest-path presence conflicts with their program before installation. [claim:package-program-binding, confidence:0.95] The pre-fix regression failed because an incompatible create package admitted. After the fix, 22 operation unit tests, five exact compiler-output runtime tests, two schema tests and strict runtime-library/test Clippy passed in guarded Docker. Formatting alone failed that campaign; a separate check passed after e174c70f applied the reported layout changes. Logs and launch/result receipts are retained in Reader delivery 66963ddd-2264-40c0-80ab-03812647e8d9.

CodeRabbit withdrew and resolved the constants-duplication request after inspecting the existing behavioral coverage. Its malformed-path coverage and package-admission findings are fixed, published and resolved. This is not an approving review.

Review remains pending. Complete current-head Code Lawyer audit, independent agy approval, required CI and independent approval are not established. Main CI and independent build comparison passed at 7fa935a1; current-head CI must finish. No merge approval is claimed.

Documentation impact: current architecture, README entrance, fixture reproduction instructions and CHANGELOG updated. No new dependency, release, tag or publication.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds projected compare-and-set support to Edict provider schemas, lowering, verification, and Warp Core invocation handling. It adds compiler-produced fixtures and integration tests for admission, execution, stale-precondition outcomes, replacement limits, and WAL recovery.

Changes

Projected compare-and-set

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Compare-and-set provider contract crates/echo-wesley-gen/src/provider_artifacts.rs, crates/echo-wesley-gen/tests/provider_cas_schema.rs	The provider schema accepts compare-and-set configuration with an expected-value-digest binding and an optional digest path in result projection. Tests cover valid and rejected configuration and projection shapes.
Program lowering and verification crates/echo-edict-provider-lowerer/src/executable_operation.rs, crates/echo-edict-provider-verifier/src/executable_operation.rs, crates/echo-edict-provider-*/tests/*, crates/echo-wesley-gen/assets/..., schemas/edict-provider/package/v1/provider-manifest.echo.json, xtask/src/provider_lowerer_component.rs, CHANGELOG.md	The lowerer and verifier support create and compare-and-set profiles. Both require the effect input to reference the declared arg.0 local. Compare-and-set requires a distinct expected-value-digest field and at least four steps. Related tests and package digest pins are updated.
Projected invocation encoding and admission crates/warp-core/src/echo_operation.rs	Warp Core recognizes a projected compare-and-set schema, retains the optional expected-digest path, and validates that its application-input value matches the invocation precondition.
Compiler-produced compare-and-set evidence crates/echo-edict-provider-verifier/tests/fixtures/compiler-produced-cas/*, crates/echo-edict-provider-verifier/tests/fixtures/compiler-produced-cas/counterexamples/*, docs/architecture/application-contract-hosting.md, CHANGELOG.md	The fixture builder prepares compare-and-set compiler inputs and checks successful builds or structured refusals. Retained fixtures include a compiled package, verification report, authored operation, and transformed-argument counterexample.
Runtime execution and recovery tests crates/warp-core/tests/edict_projected_cas_tests.rs, .ban-nondeterminism-allowlist, README.md	Integration tests cover Action scheduling, WAL recovery, stale-digest obstruction, admission refusals, and replacement-size boundaries. The README distinguishes the trusted-host Action API from the CLI runner’s create-if-absent path.

• flyingrobots/echo#697: Adds a package-declared obstruction coordinate that the compare-and-set package path also uses.
• flyingrobots/echo#701: Adds compiler-owned result projections and canonical application-input retention that the compare-and-set invocation path extends.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7fa93

Projected compare-and-set support looks well covered by the added tests. Package admission may not check that the digest binding matches the program kind, so a malformed package could install and then reject every invocation. The impact is narrow, but confirm the check before merging. Broader host and runtime validation and CI on the current head are also still outstanding.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7fa93

The examined update path binds application input to the expected digest, preserves runtime authorization, and checks the current value before writing. No introduced authorization bypass was established. Remaining risk concerns downgrade compatibility and incomplete deployment coverage.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The newly reachable provider operation can replace an existing typed attachment rather than only create an absent node. Each examined CAS transition writes one addressed attachment, but node identity and digest agreement are not themselves tenant authorization. Maximum tenant or environment exposure depends on runtime-owner grants and deployment policy not supplied here.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Substituted invocation digests and ungranted authority are refused before execution. Aliased digest projections are refused structurally even when the mutated package identity is independently pinned. Application-facing handles cannot invoke the runtime-owner installation method.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Generic package admission does not require projection digest-binding presence to agree with program kind. An owner-pinned CAS package with a non-CAS projection can therefore be installed yet reject every invocation. The missing package-level consistency check and unusable projected-CAS combination predate this PR; provider-generated CAS packages now supply the required binding, and invocation admission remains fail closed.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Enforce program/projection digest-binding consistency during package construction and admission, preventing a runtime owner from durably installing a package that cannot accept any invocation. This is defense in depth for an existing acceptance weakness, not an observed authorization bypass.
• proposed — Define the downgrade boundary before enabling persisted projected-CAS packages: either retain a compatible reader or require a documented recovery strategy that does not replay new package encodings through an older reader.

Compare-and-set PR 776: current-main integration

PR #776 now has merge commit 7bda832c15960e6ddd54e0d6c1fa91a079b9b20f integrating main through 2c976ef5. Source-function and observation-session behavior is retained alongside compare-and-set support. The branch is pushed; no merge to main is claimed.

Production evidence

Two clean designated build rounds reproduced combined-source components:

• Lowerer SHA-256: ca019b31e52ee5e4864b076197e3078e6d4c2baa075549132f377c94bc13e3ac.
• Verifier SHA-256: 6bd97a79e4720ac7605648f359c9a495d56b503bd954006a280d2ba3a48d2f92.
• Provider package identity: sha256:7eaf4213424fd9a0c8e9149ef2df03a742f2e326452409568e1af4f21180d114.
• Manifest raw SHA-256: f9da945403ce869a2513655d0f9ee8f124c81d65688b5b3e07fafa00db0cb1fd.

The public compiler build with the merged components succeeded and produced byte-identical executable package (2472 bytes) and accepted report (912 bytes), compared directly with committed fixtures. Generated package/artifact consistency checks passed. Duplicate candidate exports were removed after matching retained checked binaries.

Validation limits

Integrated lowerer tests passed (13 executable, 45 contract, one ignored regeneration entrypoint), as did 69 verifier executable tests. The retry completed schema 2, package 17 and corpus 4. Provider-host conformance 5 and helper 6 also completed, but the host suite was interrupted. Remaining runtime and Clippy commands did not complete on this merged head.

Both aggregate-guarded attempts ended when Docker reported that the worker was not paused during the monitor's unpause operation. The fail-closed guard stopped the worker. This is a monitoring interruption, not an observed regression assertion and not a passed gate. The cause is unresolved. Both workers were confirmed stopped after the repeated interruption. No new heavy work should begin without rechecking their actual state and restoring reliable resource measurement. The last recorded pre-run aggregate values were build 13953976846 bytes, data 4146870798 bytes and logs 23247374 bytes; post-interruption aggregate measurements are unavailable.

Earlier five-test runtime/Clippy evidence remains valid for the pre-merge candidate and is not substituted for current-head checks. Current-head Code Lawyer audit, input-binding semantic audit, CI and agy independent review remain outstanding. Agy still has no current verdict while quota-blocked. The full goal remains active.

The latest runs used no git-locks Docker wrapper or container flock. Resource budgets and fail-closed monitoring were retained. Reader deliveries are courier receipts, not filing or independent review.

Code Lawyer finding on 7bda832c:

Severity	File / lines	Finding	Evidence	Acceptance check
P2	crates/warp-core/tests/edict_projected_cas_tests.rs:39-55 and .ban-nondeterminism-allowlist	The new filesystem WAL fixture uses temporary-directory selection, owned directory I/O and PID-based disambiguation without the repository's required exact-path/rule waivers.	Determinism Guards failure: std-env, std-fs, std-process matched. Inspection confirms these APIs only select/create/remove the private test WAL directory; the package, worldline, node, invocation and authority data use fixed test inputs.	Add three justified fixture-only entries following existing WAL tests; run the unchanged determinism scanner in Docker. Do not widen production or whole-file exemptions.

@codex: second opinion requested. This is an intentional test I/O boundary requiring a documented exception, not evidence of semantic nondeterminism. The CI failure is the observed RED/static witness; no new behavior test is needed.

Code Lawyer blocking finding on 647a5569 (provider implementation and components unchanged from 7bda832c):

Severity	File / lines	Finding	Evidence	Acceptance check
P1	crates/echo-edict-provider-lowerer/src/executable_operation.rs:920 (validate_core) and matching verifier validation / projection binding	The providers accept a transformed authored effect argument but still bind the mutation to top-level caller input.	A real pinned public compiler build of cell.compareAndSet({basis: input.basis, key: input.key, expected: input.expected, message: "forced"}) succeeded with zero errors and an accepted verification report. Decoding its exact package shows application_input_replacement_path = ["message"]. Both providers omit validation of the effect argument's relationship to this binding. Runtime admission explicitly equates that input field with replacement bytes.	Preserve the authored replacement or explicitly refuse this unsupported argument shape. Add a real-source transformed-argument refusal/correctness witness plus direct-input positive control, and independent lowerer/verifier regressions. Cover expected-digest and node-key transformations as well as replacement; rebuild the checked components and public fixtures after the fix.

The source transformation was accepted by the actual compiler; this is not a hand-authored malformed Core fixture. Runtime execution of this transformed package has not yet been performed, so the wrong-write consequence is inferred from the emitted binding and existing runtime admission/evaluation code, not presented as an observed write. The accepted package's binding mismatch is directly observed. Mainline create-if-absent uses the same validation model and must be assessed rather than assumed unaffected.

@codex: second opinion requested. This blocks merge regardless of green CI. The audit remains open; no full Code Lawyer approval is claimed.

Code Lawyer audit progress: compare-and-set PR 776

PR: #776
Current head: 7273a409a9ad2247d2e02094649a35f8df0496a6. The complete audit is not finished and merge remains blocked.

Findings and actions

Severity	Finding	Action and evidence	State
P2	New filesystem WAL fixture lacks exact-path determinism boundary waivers.	CI observed RED in three groups: std-env, std-fs, std-process. Commit 647a5569 adds three narrowly scoped reasons following existing WAL fixture conventions. The unchanged bash scripts/ban-nondeterminism.sh passes in the guarded Docker worker.	Fixed and pushed; no behavior change or extra behavior test needed.
P1	Providers accept transformed effect arguments while retaining top-level caller-input mutation bindings.	Actual pinned compiler builds cell.compareAndSet({basis: input.basis, key: input.key, expected: input.expected, message: "forced"}) with zero errors. Its exact verification report says accepted; its package binds replacement to ["message"]. Counterexample source and package/report bytes are committed in 7273a409.	Confirmed production/binding mismatch; implementation fix and regression still required.

Blocking review finding: #776 (comment)

The counterexample is valid authored source accepted by the real compiler, not malformed synthetic Core. Its runtime wrong-write consequence is inferred from the observed binding and runtime admission code; this exact counterexample has not been executed. Preserve that distinction. The original direct-input compiler source remains a positive control.

Next: write independent lowerer/verifier regressions for transformed replacement, expected digest and key arguments. Inspect the canonical Core argument shape and either correctly preserve supported transformations or explicitly reject unsupported shapes. Assess create-if-absent because it uses the same validation pattern. Rebuild both components and repeat public compiler/runtime witnesses after the fix. Do not enshrine the erroneous accepted artifact as a positive golden fixture.

Review inventory: all PR conversation/review pages and all review-thread pages were retrieved; zero formal reviews and zero review threads existed at inspection. CodeRabbit reports a temporary free-review limit; the Codex review bot reports usage exhaustion. Neither is approval. Agy remains quota-blocked with no current verdict.

The successful guard and compiler-probe runs used no git-locks Docker wrapper or container flock. The worker was stopped after each. Final probe measurement: build 14219379774 bytes, data 4148253758 bytes, logs 23257960 bytes, within unchanged 20 GiB / 4 GiB / 128 MiB limits. Earlier full provider-host/runtime gate interruptions remain unresolved; these successful narrower runs do not replace them.

The first probe launch had a Python quoting setup error before invoking the compiler. The corrected probe used a byte-preserving script transfer and produced the actual accepted artifact. No setup failure is claimed as a compiler RED.

[flyingrobots]

Argument-binding fix in Echo PR 776

Commit f25c39d refuses transformed effect arguments in both bounded mutation profiles. Each provider independently validates the direct canonical application-input reference and its unique declaration. This prevents silently substituting caller fields for authored arguments; it does not add arbitrary argument evaluation.

The deterministic regression first failed because the lowerer accepted a transformed argument. Final native suites passed 70 verifier and 13 lowerer tests, with strict provider-library Clippy passing. Both components reproduced byte-for-byte in two builds. The real pinned compiler still produced exactly the original positive package/report; the retained literal-replacement counterexample now produced structured ProviderLowererRefused, exit 2, and no published CBOR outputs.

Remaining gates: broader integrated host/runtime checks, current-head CI, completed Code Lawyer audit and independent agy review. No merge approval is claimed. Shared workers were handed off for another agent's #728 phase; no worker operations are underway by this agent.

Last measured aggregate resources: build 14,474,922,795 bytes, data 4,153,527,083 bytes, logs 23,515,231 bytes; host free 709,650,403,328 bytes and VM free 674,487,468,032 bytes. These are retained run measurements, not a current disk snapshot.

Echo PR 776 local validation closeout

Head: e174c70.
PR: #776

The final guarded contract run exited 0: lowerer_contract 45 passed (one ignored regeneration entrypoint), provider_package 17 passed, provider_package_corpus four passed, and provider-host suites 51 passed (three ignored child entrypoints). These complete the remaining affected local provider/host checks after the argument-binding and package-admission fixes.

Prior retained final-source checks passed 70 verifier executable tests, 13 lowerer executable tests, 22 operation unit tests, five actual compiler-output runtime/recovery tests, two schema tests and relevant strict Clippy. Formatting passed after the final layout-only commit. This is a scoped affected-check result, not a claim that the full local workspace gate ran.

Activity Summary

Item	Source	Commit	Evidence	Outcome
Authored effect argument silently replaced	Code Lawyer P1	f25c39d	Native RED/GREEN plus real public compiler acceptance/refusal controls	Fixed; arbitrary transformed arguments explicitly refused
Program-incompatible projection installs	CodeRabbit	7658303	RED create admission; GREEN both program cases; exact package-ID pinning	Fixed before installation
Malformed digest-path segments lacked coverage	CodeRabbit	3abe3f9	Empty/non-text segments return OwningRootRejected	Coverage added, GREEN-first characterization
Duplicated provider constants	CodeRabbit	Existing behavioral coverage	Reviewer inspected cross-crate positive controls for both programs	Request withdrawn and thread resolved
Fixture README license headers	CI	7fa935a	Failed SPDX job followed by successful check	Fixed

All three CodeRabbit threads were resolved. Resolved comments are not approval. Current-head CI must complete, and complete Code Lawyer judgment plus independent agy approval remain outstanding. The latest retained agy attempt reported RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED; there is no current-head verdict. No merge is authorized by this report alone.

Documentation accuracy inspection found no stale create-only/unsupported-CAS claims in the relevant entrances/provider docs; the public CLI create-only limit remains accurate. The architecture owner and CHANGELOG describe both behavioral fixes.
