Summary

This branch makes the copied-workspace symlink regression pass under the serial
Make test environment without changing the production boundary verifier's
full-target Cargo command. The focused real Cargo check names only the two
materialized external test targets and removes irrelevant dev dependencies from
its disposable copied manifest.

It follows merged #448 and remains below #449 in the Rust baseline train.

Review walkthrough

  • Start with scripts/boundary_compile.py, which owns the immutable target-selection and Cargo execution contracts for the disposable external-test check.
  • Review scripts/check_boundary_contract.py, which retains an injectable compiler seam for probe tests while its production default remains cargo check --package cuprum-streams --all-targets --all-features.
  • Finish with scripts/tests/test_boundary_workspace.py, which preserves metadata parity, copied-link materialization, original bytes and modes, and unsafe-probe coverage before the scoped real compile.
  • developers' guide records the reuse boundary: named selections are exclusive to disposable regression fixtures, while production verification retains full target and feature coverage.

Validation

Current head: be83558a23f6d26a2e7b2f4e8d60de913b70b804.

  • env CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1 RUSTFLAGS='-C codegen-units=1' uv run pytest -v scripts/tests/test_boundary_*.py: 116 passed in 6.25s.
  • Focused Ruff, Pylint, and df12 Python-lints: passed; both Pylint runs rated 10.00/10.
  • Focused Ty and interrogate --fail-under 100: passed.
  • cs delta --output-format json: no introduced CodeScene findings.
  • mdtablefix --check --wrap --renumber --breaks --ellipsis --fences docs/developers-guide.md, markdownlint-cli2 docs/developers-guide.md, typos --config typos.toml docs/developers-guide.md, and nixie --no-sandbox docs/developers-guide.md: passed.
  • The initial regression test passed three fresh isolated roots in 5.17s, 5.20s, and 5.19s; the pre-change test timed out at 30.14s.
  • Hosted CI run 35539444200, Rust boundary run 35539444031, and CodeScene delta 7623453 passed at 3959ec425076d2592e91990d6a6075c8cedfd4bb; this head requires fresh hosted checks.

References

Compile only the materialized external test targets in the integration
regression, while retaining the boundary verifier's full-target production
contract. Remove unused copied dev dependencies for that empty-target
compile so the serial Make test environment remains below its timeout.

Summary

  • Preserve the production boundary command: cargo check --package cuprum-streams --all-targets --all-features.
  • Scope disposable regression checks to selected materialised external test targets.
  • Add immutable, slotted CompileTargets validation and named command contracts.
  • Remove unused development dependencies from the copied manifest.
  • Verify metadata parity, symlink materialisation, source bytes, file modes, and unsafe probes.

Validation

Reported validation passed, including boundary tests, Python linting and typing checks, sequential local gates, hosted CI, Rust boundary checks, and CodeScene analysis.

Walkthrough

Added validated Cargo target selection, integrated it into boundary compilation, and expanded workspace tests for external-link preservation, full compilation, scoped integration compilation, and invalid target names.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

The pull request adds a new internal tooling abstraction and changes the boundary compile contract, but it changes no documentation. scripts/boundary_compile.py introduces CompileTargets and compile_arguments; _compile now supports scoped Cargo checks, while the workspace regression removes copied dev dependencies and compiles named materialised external targets. The developer guide documents only the general make boundary-contract check and the unsafe-probe predicate. It has no reference to the new module, APIs, full-versus-scoped commands, target-name validation, or copied-workspace regression procedure. The PR also contains no documentation, roadmap, or execplan changes.

Resolution

Update docs/developers-guide.md with a clear boundary-verification tooling section. Document scripts/boundary_compile.py, the CompileTargets and compile_arguments contracts, the preserved production command (cargo check --package cuprum-streams --all-targets --all-features), the scoped named-test command, target-name validation, and the copied-workspace symlink regression procedure, including removal of irrelevant copied dev dependencies. Update the relevant design document or ADR if this compile-boundary decision is treated as an architectural decision.

Full details: Testing (Property / Proof)

Explanation

The change introduces input and ordering invariants over an unbounded target-name domain. CompileTargets.integration_tests must accept every non-empty name matching [A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9_-]* and reject every other name, while compile_arguments must preserve the order and cardinality of any selected name sequence. The added tests cover only four invalid examples and one fixed two-name sequence. They do not exercise the range of valid and invalid names or other sequence sizes and orderings. The repository already provides Hypothesis and uses it for similar order-independent boundary invariants, so the parameterized table is not complete for this contract.

Resolution

Add Hypothesis property tests for CompileTargets.integration_tests and compile_arguments. Generate valid target-name sequences, including varied lengths, repeats, and orderings, and assert that construction succeeds and the output contains the matching ordered --test, name pairs. Generate non-matching strings, including empty strings, option-like values, whitespace, path separators, and Unicode or punctuation cases, and assert that construction raises ValueError. Keep the existing examples as focused regression cases.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR stabilizes the copied-workspace symlink regression by separating the unchanged full production Cargo check from a validated, focused check of the two materialized external integration-test targets. The test fixture trims irrelevant dev dependencies and strengthens isolation assertions to cover source bytes and modes while retaining metadata and unsafe-probe coverage.

@leynos: Keep this change as written.

The review found no actionable defects at commit 3959ec425076d2592e91990d6a6075c8cedfd4bb.

The production path retains the full --all-targets --all-features command. The disposable external-link regression compile selects only relative and absolute. The target selection is immutable and validates names before it constructs Cargo arguments. The tests also preserve the symlink materialization and original-source integrity checks.

The inspection sandbox did not run repository tests.

@leynos Approve pull request #451 at be83558a23f6d26a2e7b2f4e8d60de913b70b804.

The inspected remediation preserves the production command:

cargo check --package cuprum-streams --all-targets --all-features

Keep named CompileTargets selections limited to the disposable copied-workspace fixture. The constructor now enforces the required immutable target-name invariant for direct and factory construction. The updated tests and developer documentation define and verify this boundary.

No remaining substantive defect was identified. The inspection did not execute repository tests.

Learning: In `scripts/boundary_compile.py`, `CompileTargets.__post_init__` enforces the Cargo integration-test target invariant for both direct construction and `CompileTargets.integration_tests()`. It requires a non-empty tuple of strings whose names match `TARGET_NAME`, so Cargo option strings such as `"--all-targets"` cannot become `--test` values.

Learning: In the Cuprum boundary compilation workflow, `CompileTargets` named selections are permitted only for disposable copied-workspace regression fixtures. Production verification must call `compile_arguments` without target selections, which preserves `cargo check --package cuprum-streams --all-targets --all-features`. `CompileTargets` validation must reject names that could select Cargo flags.

`test_main_materializes_external_source_file_symlinks` reaches the real
`cargo check`, which the Makefile forces serial via
`PYTEST_CARGO_BUILD_JOBS ?= 1`. Main's #448 added the test, and every input
it depends on is byte-identical to `df0b4f6c`, so the timeout against the
suite-wide `timeout = 30` was an inherited budget defect rather than a
branch regression: `make test` failed the batch and aborted the rest, while
a hosted runner's warm Cargo/sccache state passed it in 21.85s.

Main's #451 has since narrowed that compile to the two materialized
integration-test targets and dropped the unused copied dev-dependencies,
which is the better fix. It does not retire the bound here: even narrowed,
the build measured 181s cold and 98s warm on this host under the forced
serial build. Keep the raised bound and describe the command it now runs.
It sits above `boundary_compile._compile`'s own `timeout=600`, so a genuine
compile failure still surfaces its diagnostic instead of a timeout.

Main's #451 also added 1,758 bytes of guide prose, putting the merged guide
433 bytes over skylos's per-file cap and bringing back SKY-U001. Cut this
branch's own restatement rather than inherited text: the telemetry
paragraph and the act section each repeated material their owning documents
already carry, so both now point at ADR-014, the telemetry contract, ADR-015
and the local validation guide. The guide measures 299,928 bytes, 72 under
the cap, with the ADR index entries, the workflow-harness row, and both
should_terminate_others mentions intact.

Record the tenth and eleventh replays in the plan. The plan's new prose
also needed an `mdtablefix` reflow: `make check-fmt` reported 10 lines
that would be reformatted, and the fix is purely a rewrapping of prose at
80 columns with no byte-size change and no semantic difference.

…219) (#420)

* Measure the pipeline, not worker start-up, in the benchmark ratchet

The `benchmark-ratchet` job compared a within-run Rust-to-Python ratio
over payloads where the interpreter start, the `cuprum` import, and the
per-iteration pipeline set-up were most of both means. Comparing ratios
cancels runner speed only for cost the two backends pay in the same
proportion, and they do not pay the fixed cost in the same proportion, so
the gate was deciding largely on the spread of start-up — which is why
PR #158 failed on a 35.4% "slowdown" from a pull request that touched no
streaming path (issue #219).

Raise the signal above that floor, and state the policy where it is
applied:

- Measure a dedicated 64 MiB payload tier, selected by a new
  `--ci-ratchet` flag and labelled `ratchet` in the scenario matrix, so
  the workload is named rather than borrowed from the smoke tier.
- Accept only the 32-128 MiB band in the CI profile. The floor is the
  first tier past every measured crossover; the four backend/mode
  combinations reach theirs between about 4 MiB and 22 MiB per iteration.
- Five worker iterations and twenty hyperfine runs per command, both
  stated explicitly in the workflow rather than left to defaults.
- Bump `BENCHMARK_PROFILE_VERSION` to `pipeline-worker-release-ratio-v5`.
  A payload size is not recorded in a sample, so the version gate is the
  only thing that stops a v4 ratio being compared with a v5 one; the
  window refills with compatible `main` samples.
- Pass `--noise-sigmas` and `--history-window` explicitly, and move the
  `0.30` threshold to a single authoritative home in
  `benchmarks/ratchet_history.py`, held to the workflow's literal by a
  contract test.

`--max-regression` stays at 0.30. The 1 KiB ratio's own observed spread
exceeded it between two repeats on one machine, so widening the floor
would have hidden real regressions while leaving the cause in place.
Contract tests also pin that sample recording and baseline upload depend
only on the measurement, never on the ratchet's verdict; the ticket's
"optional CI hardening" note assumed otherwise.

Measured at the CI shape on a quiet host: no-callback ratio 0.8344 with a
0.81% relative standard deviation across three repeat invocations, and
0.9638 with 5.60% in callback mode. Full tables, cost-model decomposition
and wall-clock budget are in the new debugging record.

* Correct review findings in the ratchet documentation

CodeRabbit's review of the previous commit raised five distinct points.
Three were real and are fixed here:

- The debugging record's crossover and wall-clock tables had no captions,
  and its two existing captions collided with the two tables added since.
  All six tables are now captioned and numbered in document order.
- The wall-clock table assumed the eight-scenario matrix: the profile
  selects the four two-stage entries, one per backend and callback mode,
  so the workload is four commands and roughly half the projected time.
  The job timeout quoted alongside it was also wrong — 60 minutes, not
  the ticket's 15 — and the table now cites the measured four-command
  figure instead of a projection.
- The ci.yml comment and the profile contract test carried percentages
  the record did not support (63/86 against the measured 62/57/87). Both
  now state the four measured figures or none, and the contract test
  names the two-stage selection explicitly.

Two were not applied. Both asked for the two oxendict base patterns
("Azure Architecture Center", "GitHub Flavored Markdown") to move out of
typos.toml into typos.local.toml. Neither pattern is a local edit:
typos.toml is generated, the patterns arrive from the shared base
dictionary at .typos-oxendict-base.toml, and regenerating the file
reproduces them byte-for-byte and adds nothing. Adding them to
typos.local.toml would duplicate what the base already supplies and
would import an estate-wide pattern into a repository-local overlay.

Also added the module docstring CodeRabbit asked for on
test_ci_benchmark_ratchet_profile: what the helper's filter protects
against, and a pytest invocation, following the example already set by
test_rust_streams.

All six commit gates pass.

* Correct three prose claims about the CI ratchet selection

A second CodeRabbit pass over the previous commit found three statements
that the code does not support:

- The profile contract test's docstring and the module docstring both said
  a mis-set band would leave the job reporting an empty selection. It
  would not: `select_ci_ratchet_scenarios` raises ValueError once nothing
  survives, and `main` calls it before building or running any hyperfine
  command, so the job fails on the runner. Both now say so.
- The fixture comment said four scenarios were expected to survive
  selection, but the assertion below it lists six — the four tuned ones
  plus the probes that sit exactly on the inclusive floor and ceiling.
  The comment now matches the assertion.
- The wall-clock section said "two-stage depths". The profile keeps only
  stages == 2, so it is one depth; the four scenarios are one payload,
  one depth, two callback modes and two backends.

The remaining finding, asking again for the two oxendict base patterns to
move into typos.local.toml, is still not applied for the reason given in
the previous commit: they are estate-wide patterns the shared base
supplies, and typos.toml regenerates to exactly this content.

All six commit gates pass.

* Make the smoke/ratchet workloads mutually exclusive on the CLI

CodeRabbit's third round observed that `--smoke` and `--ci-ratchet` select
contradictory payload matrices and that only `default_pipeline_scenarios`
rejected the pair, so `--smoke --ci-ratchet` reached the scenario builder and
failed there as an uncaught `ValueError` traceback rather than a usage error.
The two flags now share a mutually exclusive argparse group, and two tests pin
the CLI contract: the pair exits 2 with a usage message, and each flag alone
still selects only its own workload.

`_parse_args` and `main` take an optional `argv` sequence, matching the sibling
CLIs, so the new group is testable without monkeypatching `sys.argv`.

The same round flagged that `description=__doc__` reflows the now
multi-paragraph module docstring into one unreadable block in `--help`. Both
CLIs in this change adopt the pattern already documented in
`cuprum/unittests/test_fetch_main_benchmark_baseline_cli.py:22-27`: a
module-level `_CLI_DESCRIPTION` literal decoupled from the docstring, so
`--help` stays a single line while the docstring carries the prose.

Also corrected `CI_RATCHET_PAYLOAD_BYTES`' label from `64 MB` to `64 MiB`, the
exact value. The sibling labels on that file still say MB; changing only the
constant this branch introduced keeps the diff scoped to the branch's own work.

Gates: ruff check and ruff format clean on all four files; 98 tests pass across
test_benchmark_suite.py, test_ci_benchmark_ratchet_profile.py and
test_benchmark_gate_ci_contract.py. Full gate run via scrutineer follows.

* Reject non-finite ratchet payloads and correct two doc claims

CodeRabbit's fourth round raised three findings; two were real.

`_require_numeric_payload_bytes` accepted any int or float, and `json.loads`
parses the bare `NaN` and `Infinity` literals. Every comparison against a NaN
is false, so a NaN payload passed the non-negative check, the 32 MiB floor and
the 128 MiB ceiling in turn, and was selected for measurement; only infinity
was dropped, by the ceiling, for the wrong reason. The helper now rejects
non-finite sizes outright and three tests pin NaN, `Infinity` and `-Infinity`.
This is defensive rather than a live path — the plan comes from our own dry
run — but the band is the module's whole contract, and a payload that is not
a number has no place inside it.

The debugging record said five worker iterations keep a measured run "a few
hundred milliseconds". That is true of the no-callback mode (0.45-0.54 s in
Table 5) and wrong for callback mode, which measures 1.42-1.57 s. The same
sentence quoted the streaming share as 63%/86%; the measured values are 62%
for the pure-Python no-callback pump, 57% for the native one, and 87% for both
in callback mode. Both are now stated per mode, and the mode-neutral reading
that produced them is gone.

Skipped: the third finding asks to move the `Azure Architecture Center` and
`GitHub Flavored Markdown` patterns out of the generated `typos.toml` and into
its source configuration. Both already ship in the estate-wide base dictionary
at `.typos-oxendict-base.toml:191-192`, which is untracked and refreshed from
`leynos/agent-helper-scripts`; `merge_dictionaries` unions its
`ignore_patterns` into the generated file, and regenerating produced a
byte-identical `typos.toml`, so there is nothing to move. This is the same
finding as round 1, which the same evidence answered.

Gates: ruff check and format clean, `make check-fmt` rc=0, 18 tests in
test_ci_benchmark_ratchet_profile.py pass. CodeRabbit round 5 and the full
scrutineer gate set follow.

* Scope the payload finiteness check to floats and trim two docstrings

CodeRabbit's fifth round raised five findings; four were real and are applied
here, and the fifth is the typos.toml finding for the third time.

The finiteness check added in the previous commit called `math.isfinite` on
whatever the numeric guard returned, and `json.loads` keeps arbitrary-precision
integers. `math.isfinite(10**400)` raises `OverflowError`, so a plan carrying a
payload too large for a float would have surfaced a traceback instead of a
verdict. An `int` is always finite and only a float can be NaN or infinite, so
the check now runs on floats alone; an oversized integer falls to the ceiling,
which is the bound that is actually about size. A test pins that path.

Two helper docstrings had grown NumPy-style sections that the repo does not use
for private one-liners — `ruff`'s `ignore-one-line-docstrings = true` means the
sections were only required because I wrote the summary across two elements —
and every sibling CLI in `benchmarks/` documents `_parse_args` in a single line.
Both now match, with the non-obvious NaN rationale kept as an inline comment.

The debugging record said Table 3's 1 KiB rows were "two retained at 1 KiB
(one probe aborted)" while claiming four repeats for every cell. The 1 KiB MAD
bands are over two values, which the trend statement should not paper over: the
limitation now says so plainly, and notes that those two rows are a sanity
check on a familiar payload rather than a measurement.

Skipped: the typos.toml finding asks again to move the `Azure Architecture
Center` and `GitHub Flavored Markdown` patterns into the generator's source.
They already live in the estate-wide base dictionary
(`.typos-oxendict-base.toml:191-192`), which is untracked and fetched from
`leynos/agent-helper-scripts`; `merge_dictionaries` unions its patterns into
the generated file, whose regeneration is byte-identical. Same evidence as
rounds 1 and 4.

Gates: ruff check and format clean, `make check-fmt` rc=0, 70 tests pass.

* Dispatch payload validation with match and drive the CLI through main

The commit-gate run caught a real violation in the previous commit's helper:
`df12-python-lints` R9101 fires when a function type-tests the same value in
more than one branch, which the finiteness rewrite did. Restructured as a
`match value:` over `bool()`/`int()`/`float()`/`float() if isfinite`/`_`,
which is both what the rule asks for and a clearer statement of the four cases
— the guard on the finite branch is what keeps `int` out of `math.isfinite`.
`make lint` now exits 0, which also lets `rust-lint` and `github-actions-lint`
run; the latter validates the modified `ci.yml`, so the workflow edit is
verified rather than merely unopposed.

CodeRabbit's sixth round asked for the two new CLI tests to exercise the
public entry point instead of the private `_parse_args` alias. They now call
`pipeline_throughput.main` with `--dry-run` and assert on the plan it writes:
the pair of workload flags exits 2, and each flag alone plans its own payload
tiers (1 KiB/64 KiB/1 MiB for `--smoke`, 64 MiB alone for `--ci-ratchet`).
That tests what the CLI does rather than how argparse assembles it — and the
alias import is gone.

Its remaining findings: one doc precision point, applied — the design doc said
comparing within-run ratios "cancels out" runner-speed differences; it reduces
sensitivity to them, but the cancellation is exact only for cost the backends
pay in the same proportion, and they do not respond to contention identically.
The paragraph after it had already made that argument, so the two were merged.
The other two findings are the typos.toml request a fourth time; the patterns
ship in the untracked estate-wide base dictionary and regeneration is
byte-identical, so there is nothing to move.

Gates: `make lint` rc=0, `make check-fmt` rc=0, 52 + 19 tests pass.

* Link issue #219 so the reflow cannot make it a heading

`make markdownlint` failed on the previous commit with MD022 and MD025: the
`mdtablefix` reflow put `# 219` at the start of a line, which markdownlint
reads as an H1. Re-joining the lines does not survive the reflow — the wrap
point depends on the paragraph's width — and `make check-fmt` was happy with
the same text, so the two gates genuinely disagree about this construct. The
clause now carries the issue as a Markdown link, which keeps the `#` mid-line
however the paragraph wraps and matches the surrounding prose's habit of
linking issues.

`make check-fmt` and `make markdownlint` both exit 0 on the result.

* Correct the hyperfine command order in the ratchet documentation

The design doc claimed hyperfine "times each backend's block as a unit".
That is not what the profile selects. `select_ci_ratchet_scenarios` sorts
by payload, then `with_line_callbacks`, then backend, so the surviving
four scenarios are ordered python-nocb, rust-nocb, python-cb, rust-cb —
a matched pair per callback mode, not one Python block followed by one
Rust block.

Verified against the running selection rather than read off the sort key:
`pipeline_throughput.py --ci-ratchet --dry-run` writes eight scenarios,
`select_ci_ratchet_scenarios` returns four, and the rendered
`CUPRUM_STREAM_BACKEND` prefixes confirm that order. The old twelve-
scenario smoke matrix *was* python-block-then-rust-block, which is where
the wrong picture came from.

The conclusion is unchanged — a pair is still measured consecutively
rather than simultaneously, so drift still biases the ratio — but the
reason is adjacency within a pair, not monolithic per-backend blocks.
Both the design doc and the debugging record are corrected, since the
debugging record's limitation carried the same claim.

Refs #219.

* Use binary units and per-table load ranges in the noise record

Two review findings on the debugging record, both verified against the
artefacts rather than taken on trust.

The payloads the old profile measured are 1 KiB and 64 KiB, not "1 KB" and
"64 KB": the fixtures are 1024 and 65536 bytes exactly, and the doc uses
KiB/MiB everywhere else, including the two pages either side of this line.

The limitations bullet also gave two different load ranges for the later
measurements — "5-23" for Table 3 and "0.6-3.8" for the rest — while the
Table 5 prose above it says 1.6-3.2. Only the transcript's raw load
readings settle which is true, and 3.8 is not among them: the decomposition
probes that produced Table 4 logged loadavg 0.64-1.84, and the sweep moved
from about 23 down to about 2.5 (hyperfine's own "load average 23 at times"
note). The bullet now attributes a range to each table, and Tables 3, 4 and
5 carry their own range in the caption so the page cannot read as one
session again.

Refs #219.

* Correct the transition wording for the refilling ratchet window

Three sites claimed the noise band needed seven compatible `main`
samples before it applied. Seven is the window's cap
(`DEFAULT_WINDOW_SIZE`), not the point the band engages at: the band
comes from `noise_tolerance`, which returns zero below
`_MIN_SPREAD_SAMPLES = 2`. So the transition is: no compatible sample
skips the comparison, one sample falls back to the single-sample bar
where the flat threshold decides alone, and the band exists from the
second sample onwards. Confirmation re-measurement guards the whole
transition.

Also drops an unsupported "ten-minute budget" claim: the measurement
has no such bound, only the 30-minute subprocess timeout.

* Default --ci-ratchet to the worker count it measures at

`--worker-iterations` defaulted to 20 for every workload, while CI measures
the ratchet at five. The count is part of the profile metadata the ratchet
checks when deciding whether a sample is comparable, so a developer running
`--ci-ratchet` recorded twenty iterations against a five-iteration history and
got zero compatible samples — the comparison was skipped, not failed. A local
reproduction was therefore quietly unrepresentative rather than visibly wrong.
This is CodeRabbit's finding on PR #420; the behaviour it describes was
confirmed against the CLI before changing anything.

`--ci-ratchet` now defaults to `CI_RATCHET_WORKER_ITERATIONS` (owned by the
scenario module, next to the payload that constant's sibling comment already
explains) and the sweep and `--smoke` keep 20. The flag's argparse default
becomes `None` so an omitted flag can be told from an explicit one, resolved by
`_resolve_worker_iterations`; an explicit `--worker-iterations` still wins,
because a developer tuning the workload has to be able to change it.

Three tests hold the decision down, each falsified by mutation before being
relied on: a truth table over the four resolution paths in
`test_benchmark_suite.py`, and a contract test in
`test_benchmark_gate_ci_contract.py` that fails if the workflow's
`--worker-iterations` and the CLI default stop agreeing. Without the latter the
two could drift apart silently, which is the same class of defect.

The design note, the debugging record, the changelog and the workflow comment
say what changed and why; `--smoke`'s help text loses a "fewer iterations"
claim that was never true of any workload.

* Project the 64 MiB wall clock from the cell it belongs to

Table 6's twenty-run column claimed to project all four rows but the 64 MiB row
quoted 84.4 s measured, from Table 5, where the other three rows doubled their
own ten-run figure. Mixing a second session's reading into a column of
projections is what made the row look inconsistent: 74.3 s at ten runs implies
roughly 142 s at twenty under the row's own rule, not 84.4 s. Table 5's three
repeats already spread across a nominal 84.4 s figure, so quoting it as the
twenty-run cell was a draw rather than a reading.

The column is now projected from each row's own ten-run measurement at the same
`(20 + 1) / (10 + 1)` factor the other rows used, and the ten-run figures were
re-derived from the retained hyperfine JSON rather than transcribed: they move
by a few tenths of a second as a result. The budget sentence follows the
corrected 64 MiB row — about two and a quarter minutes of measurement in the
common case, about four and a half with the confirmation pass — which is still
well inside the job's sixty-minute timeout.

Table 5's figure is kept and explained rather than deleted, because the reason
it was rejected is the point: a single session's nominal reading with a spread
that wide cannot carry a projection across run counts.

This is CodeRabbit's first finding on PR #420, taken as a real inconsistency
though not for the reason stated: the suggested ~148.6 s was its own arithmetic
on the old 74.3 s cell, and the checked figure for that cell is 71.6 s.

* Take the ratchet fixtures' iteration count from its owner

Four fixtures restated the CI ratchet's worker-iteration count as their own
literal — `conftest.py`, `test_benchmark_ratchet_history.py`,
`test_ci_benchmark_ratchet_profile.py` and the noise behaviour test — while
their comments each claimed to mirror the protocol the job runs. Nothing tied
the two together, so a change to the real count would have left every fixture
silently describing a protocol the gate no longer ran, and, because the
comparability check reads that field, the fixtures would have kept passing
while describing samples the ratchet can never compare.

Each now imports `CI_RATCHET_WORKER_ITERATIONS` from the scenario module that
owns it. The alias form (`... import CI_RATCHET_WORKER_ITERATIONS as
WORKER_ITERATIONS`) is what df12-pylint's C9105 requires: an assignment whose
value is an imported name is indistinguishable from a re-export alias, so the
rebinding has to be spelled as an import. In the profile fixture the constant is
used under its own name, since it already sat beside the payload constant.

Verified by moving the constant to another value and watching the fixtures
follow it, with the workflow contract test still failing on the workflow's
independent literal — which is the one place that should stay independent,
because it is the thing being checked against.

This is CodeRabbit's round-5 finding on PR #420, which was raised twice at
different severities and is the same request both times.

* Make the ratchet tuning record honest about its scratch harnesses

The record's header claimed each measurement was reproducible from the
commands and artefacts it cites, but the two harnesses that produced the
tables are scratch files under `/tmp` and were never part of the
repository. The claim was true of the workload and false of the repeating,
and a completed record should not overstate what a reader can rerun.

Reproducing now names the workload as the repository's own two-step path —
plan with `--ci-ratchet --dry-run`, then profile and measure through
`ci_benchmark_ratchet_profile.py` — which is what the job runs rather than a
copy of it, and says plainly that the looping harnesses are not retained.

Checking the surrounding prose against the retained hyperfine exports found
three stale claims, each contradicted by the artefacts:

- Table 3's intro said every cell was ten runs at `--iterations 5`; the
  1 KiB cell is five runs at `--iterations 20`, and its ratios match those
  exports exactly.
- Table 3's intro also said four repeats per cell stood behind all rows.
  Four were run at 1 KiB; the retained two are what the table has, which
  the Limitations section already recorded.
- Table 6's caption said its ten-run column and Table 5's 84.4 s came from
  one session. Table 5's per-execution cost is 1.63x lower than that
  session's, so it is a separate, quieter one, and the column is projected
  within its own session to keep a row's entries comparable.

Measurements unchanged; only the prose describing them.

* Stop claiming the ratchet ratio's spread falls with payload

CodeRabbit flagged the section heading and two rounds of my own prose for
asserting a monotone relationship the table contradicts: the no-callback
bands run 13.1, 6.7, 31.5, 22.9 and 11.2 across the sweep, and callback mode
68.8 at 32 MiB against 2.4 at 100 MiB. Read as a trend in payload, the table
says something it does not measure — the sweep ran across a load average
falling from 23 to about 2.5, so the cells differ by condition as much as by
size.

The heading now says what the evidence supports: the spread is
load-sensitive and settles rather than trending once past the crossover.
The section states the non-monotone bands explicitly, notes that the 1 KiB
row is a sanity check at a different iteration count, and points the 64 MiB
choice at the cost decomposition and the quiet-machine re-measurement rather
than at a row's tightness. Limitations gains the iteration-count difference
so that cross-reference resolves.

The 100 MiB bullet was wrong on its own arithmetic in two ways: the wall
clock is 1.4x the 64 MiB cell within one session, not "roughly twice", and
its tighter band is a cross-session comparison against a cell measured
earlier under a heavier load, so it is no evidence that a larger payload
buys stability.

Also collapses `_resolve_worker_iterations`'s docstring to the one-line form
`pyproject.toml` prescribes for private helpers, moving its rationale to an
inline comment. Behaviour unchanged; the three-branch truth table still
passes.

* Guard each ratchet setup command so its failure reaches the caller

`run_ratchet_benchmarks` is invoked as a condition operand on the
confirmation path, and Bash suspends `errexit` for a function body invoked
that way. Without a guard on each command, a failed `make develop` or a
failed benchmark fell through to the next command and the function returned
the *last* command's status, so the confirmation branch could read a stale
or missing plan as a measured result. An explicit `set -e` inside the body
does not restore aborting; only the per-command `|| return $?` does.

The contract tests pin all three properties and were mutation-checked: each
fails when the guard is removed, when `--ci-ratchet` becomes `--smoke`, and
when the publication condition's conjunction becomes a disjunction.

* Name the workload a benchmark plan measured in its summary

The comparison summary called every candidate "smoke benchmark results",
including the CI ratchet's own run, because a scenario matrix cannot say
which workload produced it: the smoke matrix and the CI ratchet both carry
per-backend scenarios, so the label had to be a guess.

`benchmark_workload.py` now owns the workload vocabulary and the plan key
the runner records, and the report renders the recorded identity with the
protocol it was measured under — profile version, payload, and worker
iteration count. `WorkloadProtocol` omits fields the plan did not carry
rather than defaulting them: a default would state a measurement protocol
as fact when nothing recorded it. `read_workload` still defaults a *missing*
workload to the sweep, which is the only compatibility allowance older plans
need, but rejects an unknown one rather than summarising it as the sweep.

The report-serialisation and rendered-summary tests were mutation-checked
against a restored stale smoke label and against defaulting an absent worker
iteration count; both defects are detected.

* Document the CI ratchet workload and its measurement protocol

The users' guide had no entry for `--ci-ratchet`: not the 64 MiB payload,
not the worker-iteration default it changes, and not its mutual exclusion
with `--smoke`. The developers' guide still claimed the ratchet records
"ten measured runs" and "three-sample outliers", both of which the profile
left behind when it moved to twenty runs.

The debugging plan's note on `_CI_RATCHET_RUNS` said it governed the warmup
and run counts together. It governs `--runs` only; the single warm-up is a
separate `--warmup 1` literal in the same hyperfine invocation, so the two
counts are independent and only the run count links the step to the job's
measurement.

* Split the widest helpers out of the benchmark gate modules

CodeScene flagged three findings against this branch: a complex method in
the CI-ratchet workload reader, a complex method in the workflow-condition
scanner, and low cohesion in the benchmark gate contract test. All three
are branch-attributed — the workload module is new here and the contract
test grew from 27 to 36 functions — and recent merged pull requests passed
CodeScene, so these gate merges rather than being advisory.

Payload sizes: `_payload_sizes` reached complexity 10 because it validated
each scenario's declared size inline as well as collecting it. The
per-scenario read moves to `_scenario_payload_size`, which owns the
"absence is not an error, a wrong type is" rule and the message naming the
scenario's position. The collector is left as a set comprehension over it
(complexity 6).

Condition scanning: `top_level_operators` threaded four pieces of state
(depth, quote, count, skip) through one branch-per-field loop. That state
is now a `_ScanState` dataclass and one `_scan_char` step returns its
successor, so the loop is a fold over characters (complexity 7). The step
is deliberate: naming the scan's state is what makes it a state machine
rather than a branch pile. Equivalence with the original implementation
was checked differentially over 200,000 generated expressions across both
operators — 400,000 comparisons, no mismatches.

Cohesion: the contract test had accumulated four shell-text readers
(`top_level_operators`, `shell_statements`, `shell_function`,
`flag_value`) that answer questions about shell text, not about the
workflow carrying it. They move to `tests/helpers/workflow_shell.py`,
beside `script_runs_command`, which answers a fifth such question and
already had its own home. The module drops to 32 functions and a mean
complexity of 1.53, from 36 and 1.86. `shell_function` gains a
keyword-only `step` parameter so its failure message still says which step
the function was expected in, rather than naming the throughput step from
a module-level constant it no longer knows. `flag_value`'s message
generalizes from "the ratchet comparison" to "the invocation" for the same
reason.

No behaviour change: the contract tests assert exactly what they did
before, and the readers are exercised through them.

* Split the ratchet's measurement protocol out of the gate contract

CodeScene reported Low Cohesion on the gate contract test: 32
responsibilities across its 32 functions, against a threshold of 4. The
flagged module does two separable jobs. It asserts whether the paid
`benchmark-ratchet` job runs at all — the path filter, the `needs` edge, the
`if:` expression. It also asserts what that job measures once it does: the
ratchet's thresholds, its workload flag, its worker-iteration count, and the
conditions under which a `main` run publishes the sample it measured.

The second job is measurement protocol and belongs with the ratchet, so it
moves to `test_benchmark_ratchet_protocol_contract.py` along with the six
constants only those tests read. Both halves now score 10.0, measured with
`cs review` on real files and a liveness control — an injected complex method
moves the same file from 10.0 to 8.9 with a named `Complex Method`, so the
tool is demonstrably analysing the text rather than falling back to its
unanalysable-input default.

Grouping the tests into a class was measured too, since it was the shape
suggested to us: it leaves the module at 8.03 with Low Cohesion intact. The
flag tracks what the tests talk about, not how they are collected.

Collecting the same 35 tests before and after; the two modules carry no
duplicated test.

* Refuse payload floats the plan reader cannot read back

`_require_numeric_payload_bytes` accepted a finite float and returned it, and
the retained scenarios are written out verbatim as the filtered plan. A plan
spelling a whole payload as `67108864.0` therefore passed the band filter and
produced a filtered plan that `benchmark_workload` rejects with "payload_bytes
must be an int" — the plan is written, and the measurement that reads it fails
later, away from the cause.

The helper now returns the `int` its name and both callers already assumed: a
whole float is converted, so the value the filter validated is the value the
reader sees. A fractional payload is refused outright rather than truncated,
since no measurement reports a fractional byte count and rounding would record
a payload the plan never declared. Renamed to `_require_payload_bytes`, as
"numeric" no longer describes what it returns.

Also closes a gap in the errexit guard test. `shell_statements` split on
newlines only, so `make develop ...; true || return $?` was one statement
ending in the guard, and the test would have reported an unguarded command as
guarded. It now splits on unquoted `;` as well, and drops comments
quote-aware — a `#` inside a quoted string is part of that string, not the
start of a comment. Six direct cases pin the reader, so the guard test's
reliability no longer rests on the workflow happening to be one command per
line.

* Report the ratchet's payload sizes and reject a workload that is not a string

Three findings from the review of the measurement-protocol work, each a case
where a declared contract was looser than what the code actually requires.

`ComparisonReport.as_dict` omitted `payload_bytes`. `WorkloadProtocol` carries
the sizes, the Markdown summary renders them, and the ratios in the JSON are
meaningless without them: "Rust is 1.3x Python" is a claim at a payload, and a
consumer reading the JSON had only the other metadata to place it. The sizes
are now serialized as a list.

`PipelineBenchmarkConfig.__post_init__` tested `self.workload not in WORKLOADS`
without first checking the type. A non-string workload reaches the membership
test and is reported as an unknown workload — a `ValueError` describing a
value the caller never passed a string for. Every other field in the same
`__post_init__` goes through `_require_non_empty_string` first; the workload
now does too, so a non-string raises `TypeError` naming the field.

* Reject status functions in the publication conditions

The publication test's docstring states the contract as "`!cancelled()` rather
than GitHub's implicit `success()`" and its name is
`test_the_main_sample_is_published_whatever_the_ratchet_decides`, but nothing
in it rejected a status function. A condition of
`success() && !cancelled() && ... && artefact-available` satisfies every
assertion the test made — `!cancelled()` present, no top-level disjunction, at
least two conjunctions, the artefact guard present, no step state other than
`candidate-artefacts` — while withholding the sample of exactly the runs the
window needs. Verified by running each assertion against that condition.

`success(` and `failure(` are now refused by name. `always(` is deliberately
left alone: like `!cancelled()` it runs whatever the verdict, so it does not
make publication depend on the outcome.

* Guard the publication steps against every step-state spelling

The publication contract requires the `Record this run's benchmark sample`
and `Upload main benchmark baseline artifact` conditions to read exactly one
piece of step state: whether this run produced candidate artefacts. Reading
the ratchet's own outcome is what would let a failing run withhold the sample
the window most needs, which is the low-biased window of issue #219.

That requirement was enforced with `steps\.([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)\.`, which sees
only the dotted spelling. GitHub also reaches step state as
`steps['ratchet']`, so a condition of the form

    steps['ratchet'].outcome == 'success'

read the verdict while passing every assertion in the test — including the
`success(`/`failure(` rejection, since it calls neither function. The hole was
reproduced before the fix and the reproduction rejects after it.

Both spellings are now collected in `_referenced_steps`, and the test still
requires the resulting set to be *exactly* the artefact step rather than
merely free of names someone thought to list. That is the stronger of the two
remedies the finding offered: rejecting a known-bad operand set is open-ended,
while requiring the permitted set is closed.

`test_the_published_step_reader_sees_both_step_spellings` checks the reader
directly, so the publication test's reliability no longer rests on the
workflow happening to spell its steps one way.

* Group the gate contract tests by subject

`.rules/python-00.md:103` asks for related tests to be grouped in a class,
and this module's 26 tests were all module-level. The request to group them
was sound; the form it asked for was not.

Putting all 26 into a single `TestBenchmarkGateCiContract` breaks the lint
gate. Ruff's `too-many-public-methods` (PLR0904) and pylint's R0904 both fire
at `26 > 20`, and neither is exempted for test files — pylint enables
`too-many-public-methods` explicitly in `[tool.pylint."messages control"]`,
and ruff's per-file-ignores for `**/test_*.py` list asserts, argument counts,
magic values, and boolean traps but not this. Measured on a faithful
class-wrapped copy of this file:

    too-many-public-methods: Too many public methods (26 > 20)

The rule says *related* tests, so the tests are grouped by the subject they
actually share, into six classes of 2-7 methods — comfortably under the
ceiling and a better statement of what each test is about than one class
holding the whole module would have been. Collection is unchanged at 29
tests, and CodeScene holds at 10.0, so the cohesion score this module was
split to recover is preserved.

Test bodies are untouched. The only edits beyond indentation are five lines
that the added indent pushed past 88 columns, and three class docstrings.

* Group the ratchet protocol contract tests by subject

The sibling gate contract module now states its tests as classes, per
`.rules/python-00.md:103`. This module asserts a different contract — what the
job measures once the gate lets it run — but it is one of the same pair, and
leaving the newer of the two on the older convention would have the pair read
as an accident rather than a decision.

Four classes of one to two methods each: the policy, the measurement, the
publication condition, and the reader tests that the condition tests rest on.
The last group is what makes the grouping worth more than tidiness — those two
check the readers behind the assertions above them, and naming that
relationship in the structure is clearer than leaving it in docstrings.

Test bodies are untouched; the only edit beyond indentation is one line pushed
past 88 columns by the added indent. Collection is unchanged at 8 tests and
CodeScene still reports 10.0.

* Spell "recognized" the way the estate's spelling gate requires

The assertion message added with the step-spelling reader used "recognised",
which `typos-config-builder gate` rejects: en-GB-oxendict (ADR-009) keeps
Oxford -ize, so the -ise form is a violation rather than a variant. The
sweep for siblings found none — `advertise`, `exercise`, `compromise`, and
`surprise` are -ise in Oxford spelling and stay as they are.

* Move workload protocol prose out of the protocol value object

`WorkloadProtocol` carried the measurement data a plan recorded *and* the
prose a report renders from it, so the same unit had two reasons to change.
Worse, `describe_workload()` indexed a private table by `self.workload`,
which was declared `str`: a public instance built directly with an unknown
workload made an apparently pure query raise `KeyError`.

The prose now lives with the report that renders it, as
`comparison_report.describe_protocol()` and
`comparison_report.describe_workload()`, both accepting a
`WorkloadProtocol`. The value object validates on construction instead:
the workload must be one the runner can produce, an optional profile must be
a non-empty string, an optional iteration count must be a positive int, and
the payload sizes must be the distinct ascending tuple a plan reads back as.
`WorkloadProtocol` therefore describes a measurement some run could have
made, and the report lookup is total rather than merely annotated.

Rendered text is unchanged. The workload-validation and
worker-iteration-validation rules now have a single home, shared with the
plain-`str` readers, so the two entry points cannot drift apart.

* Test the workload parsers directly, and property-test payload sizes

`read_workload` and `read_workload_protocol` decide what a plan's workload
and measurement protocol are, and nothing downstream re-derives either from
the scenario matrix — so every documented rejection and every accepted shape
is pinned here, against the parser rather than through a rendered report.

`payload_bytes` is the invariant worth a property: a matrix names the same
size for several scenarios and writes them in build order, so the parsed
result must be the distinct ascending sizes the plan declared, whatever order
it declared them in. The property recomputes its expectation from the
generated scenarios rather than from the reader's own helper, and asserts
permutation invariance over the same sequence reversed.

Verified non-vacuous and discriminating: over 300 examples the generator
produced duplicate sizes 133 times, omitted sizes 271 times, and more than
one distinct size 115 times; three mutants of `_payload_sizes` (dedup
removed, order reversed, omitted sizes counted as zero) are all detected
while the real implementation passes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Pin the dry-run plan's workload to the configured one

The plan records the workload that selected its scenarios because
nothing downstream can recover that from the matrix alone: the smoke
and ci-ratchet matrices differ only in the payload sizes they carry.
Two halves of that contract were covered separately — the CLI tests
pin the workload a plan is configured with, and the protocol tests
round-trip the workload a plan records — but nothing exercised the
serialization step between them, so swapping the recorded field or its
plan key left the JSON byte-identical and the suite green.

The dry-run test now configures the CI-ratchet workload, a non-default
value, and asserts the written plan carries it, which makes a constant
or a wrongly-sourced field fail.

An unknown workload is rejected by the config rather than written into
a plan, so the companion test covers the three ways a workload can be
unusable: an identifier the runner cannot produce, a blank string, and
a non-string.

* Describe the benchmark ratchet's measurement the way it runs

The users' guide still described the CI gate as a smoke-mode run that
measured each command ten times and published smoke artefacts, with a
summary table labelled `small-*`. The gate has not worked that way since
`--ci-ratchet` landed: it measures one 64 MiB payload at five worker
iterations per process, twenty measured runs after one warm-up, and the
labels it retains are `single-*` and `multi-*`. A reader following the
guide would have looked for artefacts and labels the job no longer
produces, and read the ten-run figure as the current protocol.

The developers' guide gains the module boundary the workload identity
lives on: which workloads exist, why the workload cannot be inferred
from a plan's scenarios, why an absent field reads as the sweep, and why
the value object validates on construction while the report owns the
prose. That separation is the reason a wording change in the summary
cannot reach the data a plan recorded, so it belongs in the guide a
maintainer consults before adding a workload.

The design doc's report paragraph now records what the summary says
about the protocol it rendered, including that an absent field is
omitted rather than defaulted.

* Hold the workload descriptions against the workloads

The report's description table is keyed by WorkloadName, and the previous
commit described that as making the lookup total. It does not. `ty`
accepts a literal-keyed dict literal that omits a member of its key
type, so adding a workload to WORKLOADS without a description would have
raised KeyError while rendering the workflow summary of the very job the
ratchet exists to report — in a step no test covered.

The new test reads the description for every workload the runner can
produce, which fails on exactly the missing entry. Verified by deleting
the smoke entry: only the [smoke] parametrization fails, with
KeyError: 'smoke'. The comment and the developer guide now state what
the key type does and does not guarantee, and name the test that closes
the gap.

The users' guide and design doc also named the ratchet's shared scenario
labels as `single-nocb`. Stripping the backend prefix from
`python-ratchet-single-nocb` leaves `ratchet-single-nocb` — the label the
repository's own conftest uses — so the documented labels are now the
ones a summary row actually carries.

* Property-test the shell readers the ratchet contracts rest on

The ratchet contract tests assert that a workflow command carries an errexit
guard, and that the publication condition binds no ratchet outcome. Both
assertions are only as strong as the shell reader behind them: a reader that
counted an operator inside quotes would call a disjunction conjunctive, and one
that lost an unguarded command into the next command's guard would report it as
guarded. Six fixed examples pin those shapes, but they pin only the shapes they
happen to spell, and a state machine is exactly the kind of code whose bugs live
in the inputs nobody wrote down.

`top_level_operators` is checked against a model that builds an expression and
its expected count together: the model adds one when it joins two expressions
with `&&`, and adds none when it wraps one in quotes or parentheses. The
expectation therefore comes from how the expression was built rather than from a
second reading of the scanner, so the two cannot agree on a shared mistake. The
`shell_statements` properties are metamorphic instead — a commented-out guard
must not change what a command reads as, a semicolon and a newline must separate
equally, a quoted separator and a line continuation must not separate at all.
Each states a relation between two bodies rather than restating the splitting
rule, so a reader that implemented the rule differently and wrongly still has to
satisfy them.

Both were mutation-checked against the reader before being committed. Disabling
quote tracking, disabling parenthesis-depth tracking, keeping comments,
disabling quote tracking in the statement split, dropping the semicolon
separator, and removing continuation folding each fail exactly the property
named for it and nothing else; the helper was restored byte-identical after
every one.

One property deliberately does not claim more than the reader promises: the
quoted-separator cases assert the body is not split rather than that it is
returned verbatim, because `shell_statements` documents that it collapses
whitespace.

Generated with an agent team, with the model construction, the mutation
evidence, and the wording reviewed against the reader's contract.

* Prove protocol validation reaches the comparison boundary

`compare_candidate_backend_results` reads its protocol through
`read_workload_protocol`, and the summary it builds names that protocol as the
measurement behind every ratio it reports. A plan recording a workload the
runner cannot produce, a blank profile version, or a run count no run could have
had would be summarized as though it described a real measurement — so the
rejection has to happen on the way in. The parser had direct unit tests, but
nothing drove a malformed plan through the entry point the workflow actually
calls, which is what proves the validation is reached on that path rather than
being skipped by an earlier return.

Four cases go through the public entry point: an unknown workload, a blank
profile version, and a non-positive and a non-integer worker-iteration count.
The accepting half is tested too — a plan with no workload key at all is read as
the throughput sweep and compared, because recorded plans outlive the code that
wrote them and the field's absence is a statement about when a plan was made,
not a malformed plan. Without that case, an implementation that rejected every
plan omitting the field would satisfy the four rejections just as well.

Mutation-checked: replacing the boundary's protocol read with a fixed sweep
protocol fails all four rejection cases plus the two existing tests that pin the
serialized protocol, and nothing else. The one positionally-rejected case
asserts the message the parser actually raises — `must be an int`, not the
`must be an integer` the first draft guessed.

* Pin the protocol description the summary publishes

`describe_protocol` renders the line a maintainer reads in the workflow
summary to learn what the ratios beneath it measured. It had no test beyond
its own doctest, so nothing held its wording in place.

The cases pin the singular and the plural payload wording, each field's
omission, and the full ordering of a protocol that recorded everything. An
omission row matters most: every fixture elsewhere in this module carries
every field, so only a deliberately bare protocol can show that an unrecorded
field is left unnamed rather than reported as a default.

Seven mutations of `describe_protocol` -- dropping the profile, dropping the
iterations, forcing either payload wording, naming the workload alone,
defaulting the profile, and defaulting the protocol version -- each fail this
test and nothing else.

* Record the ratchet protocol change in the migration guide

The migration guide covers what a 0.2.0 upgrade changes for someone who has to
act on it. The ratchet's measurement protocol changed in this release: the job
measures one 64 MiB payload at five worker iterations instead of a payload
sweep whose means were mostly interpreter start-up, and
`BENCHMARK_PROFILE_VERSION` was bumped with it.

That bump is the part a reader can be caught by. The ratchet refuses a plan
whose recorded version differs rather than comparing it, so a locally cached
plan or a saved baseline from before this release must be regenerated, not
reused. The entry says so, and states that the section concerns the harness in
`benchmarks/` rather than the `cuprum` library, since callers of the library
need no change.

`docs/contents.md` summarised the guide's scope and no longer matched it.

* Spell the new test prose the way the estate's spelling gate requires

The spelling gate rejected two `-ise` forms in the docstrings added by the two
preceding test commits: "singularises" and "parenthesised". The estate's
ADR-009 requires Oxford `-ize`, so both are respelled here.

Caught by `make markdownlint`, whose spelling step runs the typos gate over
prose and source. Neither form appears anywhere else in the touched files.

* Extract the payload entry check from the size validator

CodeScene rates `_require_payload_bytes` at cyclomatic complexity 9, the
threshold it reports [Complex Method] against. The method carried two
distinct jobs: requiring a tuple, and requiring every entry to be a
non-boolean integer. The second is now `_require_payload_byte_size`, which
raises the same `TypeError` for the same two inputs.

The validation boundary and both error messages are unchanged, and
`WorkloadProtocol.__post_init__` still calls `_require_payload_bytes`. The
entry check now runs in a tuple comprehension, so the cast that followed it
is no longer needed and is gone.

Seven mutations of the validator — dropping the bool rejection, the
non-int rejection, the tuple requirement, the canonical-order check, the
`set` call, the `sorted` call, and the per-entry application — each fail a
test in `cuprum/unittests/test_benchmark_workload.py`.

* Bring the guides back inside the gates after the rebase

Two post-rebase gate failures, both in documentation the rebase carried.

`docs/contents.md` was hand-wrapped when its conflict was resolved, and the
fill stopped one word earlier than mdtablefix wants, so `make check-fmt`
reported `+2 -2`. The line is refilled to the width the gate requires.

`docs/developers-guide.md` crossed skylos's 300,000-byte documentation cap.
The cap is per file and silent: `_read_public_docs` skips any doc above it, so
`_PipelineWaitState.should_terminate_others` stopped being credited as
documented and `make lint` failed with `SKY-U001 unused function` on a file the
branch never touched. The branch's own additions plus main's growth took the
guide from 287,232 B before the rebase to 300,226 B after it. Restored to
299,632 B, which is under the cap with headroom.

The trim removes prose that restated its own source rather than facts:

- The ratchet paragraph repeated the filtering, payload, and run-count details
  the users' guide and the module docstring already carry. The `_CI_RATCHET_RUNS`
  finding it exists to record is kept, as is the independence of the run count
  from the worker iteration count.
- The parsing/rendering paragraph restated `benchmarks/benchmark_workload.py`'s
  module docstring. The dependency direction, the extension recipe, and the
  contract test that holds the two collections together are kept.

Every claim in both edits is still present; this is a deletion of duplicated
prose, not of documentation.

Verified: `mdtablefix --check` is clean on both files, and `skylos cuprum
--exclude cuprum/unittests --category dead_code --gate` exits 0. A control run
with the guide padded back over the cap reproduces the identical `SKY-U001`
finding, confirming the mechanism.

* Cut guide prose that restated its owning sources

Rebasing onto 7606b063 left docs/developers-guide.md at 300,409 bytes,
past the 300,000-byte cap skylos's dead-code liveness scan reads public
docs under. Neither side alone crossed it: main's #451 added a boundary
section and this branch's ratchet prose added more.

Trim only what another file already owns, so no fact is dropped:

- `benchmarks/comparison_report.py`'s own comment on
  `_WORKLOAD_DESCRIPTIONS` already states that the keyed lookup stops a
  misspelt key but cannot be made total at the type level, and names the
  test that holds the two collections together. The guide now points at
  it rather than restating it.
- `read_workload`'s docstring already owns the absent-field default, and
  the migration guide already states that the job measures `--ci-ratchet`.

The guide keeps the facts only it carries: the field and type names, how
to add a workload, and that `_CI_RATCHET_RUNS` does not govern the
warm-up. 299,932 bytes, 68 below the cap; the skylos dead-code gate
passes and mdtablefix reports the file unchanged.

* Restore the fail-fast query call site and document the workload boundary

Rebasing this branch onto 7606b063 inherited a tree in which
``_process_completed_task`` no longer called
``_PipelineWaitState.should_terminate_others``: the commit that followed
(13dc6399, on main) had bound the decision to
``record_completion``'s return value instead. Main restores the
command/query split; this branch's base predates that restore, and the
branch never touched the file.

The lost call site was not merely untidy. skylos credits a symbol as
documented only while the doc naming it stays under 300000 bytes, so the
orphaned method made ``docs/developers-guide.md`` size-gated: at 299932 B
the dead-code gate passed, and padding the same file past the cap
reproduced ``SKY-U001 unused function``. Applying main's two-line change
makes the gate pass at 306048 B, so the constraint was a symptom of the
dropped call rather than of the guide's length.

The documentation change resolves PR #420's remaining Developer
Documentation finding. ``benchmarks/benchmark_workload.py`` is now
documented as the benchmark-plan workload parsing and validation
boundary: its workload identifiers and ``WORKLOADS`` membership set, the
``WORKLOAD_PLAN_KEY`` plan field with the legacy absent-field default,
the frozen slotted ``WorkloadProtocol`` value object and its
absence-preserving fields, the ``read_workload`` and
``read_workload_protocol`` readers, and the validation contract for
workloads, profile metadata, worker iterations, and scenario payload
sizes. Rendering stays with
``benchmarks/comparison_report.py::describe_protocol`` and
``describe_workload``, which must not invent omitted metadata. The
implementation-boundaries list carries the same split, and the users'
guide keeps the CLI flags.

* Render each payload size in the unit that keeps it legible

The protocol summary scaled every payload size to whole MiB, so the
throughput sweep's 1 KB tier and the smoke plan's 64 KB tier both
rendered as "0". The existing test rows only pinned sizes at or above
1 MiB, so the defect survived: a maintainer reading "payloads 0/1/100
MiB" was told the ratios beneath it were measured at a payload that
rounds to nothing.

Choose the unit per size — whole MiB at or above 1 MiB, whole KiB
below — and render each size with its own suffix instead of appending
one shared "MiB" to the joined list. A mixed plan now reads
"payloads 64 KiB/1 MiB".

The singular/plural payload labelling is unchanged, and the docstring
example is corrected: it recorded the zero rendering as intended
output. New table rows pin the sub-MiB and mixed-unit texts, because
the rows that existed could not have caught this.

Replace the second-person pronoun in the migration guide's reproduction
sentence, per the documentation style guide's rule against first- and
second-person pronouns outside the README.

* Close the ratchet review's remaining oracles and keep sub-KiB sizes non-zero

The two findings CodeRabbit raised against 504d7eef were the payload
renderer's sub-MiB rounding and a second-person pronoun in the migration
guide. Both are fixed, and the two changed behaviours its Testing check
asked to be protected by an independent oracle now are.

`_render_size` now keeps a non-zero sub-KiB size from collapsing to `0`
as well, so a plan carrying any positive payload renders as something
readable rather than nothing. The docstring records the rule.

Two oracles, neither of which could have been satisfied by the existing
tests:

- `tests/behaviour/test_benchmark_suite_behaviour.py` drives the real CLI
  as a subprocess in dry-run mode for the default, `--smoke`, and
  `--ci-ratchet` cases and asserts the recorded `WORKLOAD_PLAN_KEY` matches
  the workload that flag selects. The unit-level coverage declared the
  constant through a hand-built config, so nothing held the flag-to-workload
  mapping itself; the new rows do.
- `test_load_plan_rejects_incompatible_profile_version` gains the literal
  the profile carried before the payload and iteration change
  (`pipeline-worker-release-ratio-v4`), so the bump to v5 is pinned against
  the version it superseded rather than against a generic mismatch string.
  Its fixture is otherwise valid for the current profile, so the rejection
  is attributable to the version alone.

Both new payload rows assert exact text: the 1 KiB tier and the mixed
`64 KiB/1 MiB` line, plus the smallest positive size, so a formatter that
reverted to a single shared unit fails rather than silently rounding.

Also state the migration guide's reproduction sentence impersonally without
the ambiguous "turns on", which read as "switches on" rather than "depends
on".

* Split the recipe readers out of the shell matcher

`make lint` fails on this branch: Pylint C0302 reports
`tests/helpers/workflow_shell.py` at 433 lines against the project's 400-line
ceiling (`AGENTS.md`: "No single code file should be longer than 400 lines";
`max-module-lines = 400`). `tests/helpers/` carries an `__init__.py`, so unlike
`cuprum/unittests/` Pylint's recursive walk does reach it, and the file is in
this branch's change surface.

The file already described two jobs in one module — matching a command against
a whole script, and reading what an already-selected body says. The readers
move to `tests/helpers/workflow_recipe.py` on that boundary, leaving the
matcher's tokenizing and here-document tracking behind, which also keeps that
machinery out of readers that never tokenize. Both halves are now well inside
the ceiling (208 and 251 lines).

The readers never tokenize, so the move needs no re-export shim and no behaviour
change; only the two import sites and the prose that named the old home are
updated. The four `script_runs_command` importers keep importing from
`workflow_shell`, which still owns it.
