Unproven first

  • Hosted Linux qualification, Windows qualification, dependency graph, and nextest harness remain pending on this PR head.
  • This boundary does not close B3, B4, or B5. The interrupted mutation campaign remains a separate B5 observation.
  • Production runtime witness minting and the admitted-prefix road remain gated.

What changed

  • Makes runtime capacity authority part of the base LimitWitness type and every admitted consumer; declared and unstated authorities now fail at rustc.
  • Replaces filesystem-walk commit claims with a Git-owned immutable file population and exact blob bytes, while keeping live Cargo metadata a role-distinct observation.
  • Makes malformed obligation items clear record ownership and tightens the bounded Rust/Markdown readers without adding a resolver or line scanner.
  • Preserves caller-relative scope_guard_version! visibility through exact one-level transport into the generated child module.
  • Rewrites the visibility claim honestly: the parent re-export is canonical, while no generated path can widen reach beyond the caller's declaration.

Visibility evidence

The admitted narrow grammar is exercised at two invocation depths across three independent compiler campaigns: wider re-export, wider type alias, and wider public signature. Public forms are consumed from a downstream crate. Opaque forwarded vis fragments fail closed, and the private tuple field/constructor remain inaccessible.

No product runtime, B3 claim/evidence schema, B4 law drain, token capsule, lifecycle implementation, or B5 workflow repair is included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Scope guards now preserve declared visibility across nested modules, aliases, signatures, re-exports, and external consumers.
    • Runtime capacity witnesses are available only for explicitly evidence-selected limit families.
    • Repository checks now distinguish committed snapshots from live Cargo observations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented visibility widening and privacy bypasses for generated scope guards.
    • Improved detection of malformed manifests, duplicate package identities, invalid repository data, and untracked changes.
  • Tests

    • Added extensive visibility, capacity, repository, dependency, and validation coverage.

Greptile Summary

The Git-backed repository checks now read committed tree data, but qualification still rejects repositories with valid non-UTF-8 Git pathnames and repositories containing unrelated binary blobs. These failures prevent otherwise valid repositories from completing qualification.

Confidence Score: 3/5

Repository qualification is not ready to merge for repositories that contain byte-oriented Git pathnames or binary content.

Two independently reproduced qualification failures remain: snapshot construction assumes every Git pathname is Unicode, and the personal-name check assumes every committed blob is decodable text.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • T-Rex posted P1 proofs for findings by publishing an isolated Rust runtime harness and a manifest that exercise invalid pathname and binary blob cases.
  • T-Rex added additional P1 finding proofs documenting further evidence for the same scenarios.
  • T-Rex performed general contract validation of the snapshot vocabulary harness, including before/after fixture logs and vocabulary-check results.

  1. General comment

    P1 Valid Git repositories with non-UTF-8 tracked paths cannot be qualified

    • Bug
      • parse_tracked_blobs rejects any tree pathname that is not UTF-8, even though Git permits arbitrary non-NUL pathname bytes. This prevents RepositorySnapshot::read and every repository law from running on such a committed repository. Separately, check_no_personal_names requires decoded text for every blob, so an unrelated tracked binary blob also causes qualification to fail.
    • Cause
      • The snapshot models canonical paths as str/String and converts raw git ls-tree -z path bytes with std::str::from_utf8 at xtask/src/repository/snapshot.rs:379-385. The global vocabulary consumer requires FileFact::text() for every entry at xtask/src/checks/vocabulary.rs:98-100, treating intentionally unavailable UTF-8 text as a fatal read error.
    • Fix
      • Represent Git paths as platform-safe raw/OS path data (while retaining an escaped diagnostic spelling), and scope text-only laws to declared UTF-8/text surfaces or scan binary content with a byte-safe matcher. If UTF-8 paths and text-only repositories are intentional policy, make that an explicit, separately reported repository law rather than an implicit snapshot construction failure.

  2. General comment

    P1 Repository snapshot rejects committed non-UTF-8 path bytes

    • Bug
      • A clean isolated Git repository with a committed regular filename valid-\xFF-name.txt is refused before a RepositorySnapshot can be constructed. The test observed: git tracks a path with no Unicode spelling ... invalid utf-8 sequence of 1 bytes from index 6.
    • Cause
      • parse_tracked_blobs converts Git's NUL-delimited raw path bytes through std::str::from_utf8 and propagates conversion failure, although Git permits arbitrary non-NUL path bytes.
    • Fix
      • Represent Git paths as platform/raw byte paths through tree enumeration and live-byte validation, or explicitly define and enforce a repository policy forbidding such committed paths before this utility is expected to read arbitrary Git repositories.

    T-Rex Ran code and verified through T-Rex

  3. General comment

    P1 Personal-name vocabulary check refuses an unrelated invalid-UTF-8 binary blob

    • Bug
      • A committed assets/unrelated.bin containing invalid UTF-8 successfully reaches RepositorySnapshot::read (constructed files=1), but check_no_personal_names refuses with assets/unrelated.bin could not be read ... invalid utf-8 sequence of 1 bytes from index 0, even though the blob is unrelated to repository vocabulary.
    • Cause
      • check_no_personal_names iterates every snapshot file and calls fact.text().required(...); binary blobs are intentionally represented as unreadable text by read_tracked_blobs, so any invalid-UTF-8 tracked blob becomes a global check failure.
    • Fix
      • Narrow this vocabulary check to its declared textual scope or make it skip/non-applicable for files whose text cannot be decoded, while retaining explicit validation for files the policy actually requires to be UTF-8.

    T-Rex Ran code and verified through T-Rex

  4. General comment

    P1 RepositorySnapshot rejects committed paths that are not valid UTF-8

    • Bug
      • Reproducibly outstanding. A real committed Git path containing byte 0xFF and otherwise ordinary UTF-8 content causes RepositorySnapshot::read to return an error before any qualification check can run. The capture shows Git's NUL-delimited tree record contains ff, followed by the exact refusal.
    • Cause
      • parse_tracked_blobs converts every raw Git pathname with std::str::from_utf8(raw_path) at xtask/src/repository/snapshot.rs:379-385. Git pathnames are byte sequences and may be non-UTF-8, but the snapshot's CanonicalPath representation requires String/UTF-8.
    • Fix
      • If non-UTF-8 Git pathnames must be supported, make the canonical path identity byte-preserving (for example, Unix OsString/bytes with explicit display escaping) and defer Unicode conversion only to consumers that require text. If UTF-8-only repository paths are intentional policy, document this as an explicit qualification restriction rather than treating it as an incidental snapshot failure.

  5. General comment

    P1 Binary blobs make the personal-name vocabulary check fail after snapshot creation

    • Bug
      • Reproducibly outstanding, and distinct from pathname decoding. A committed ordinary pathname (ordinary.txt) with invalid UTF-8 bytes is accepted by RepositorySnapshot::read (snapshot=OK files=1), but check_no_personal_names then fails because it calls fact.text().required(...). The failure is a read/decoding refusal, not evidence of a personal-name match.
    • Cause
      • The snapshot records raw bytes but represents failed UTF-8 decoding as Read::Unreadable at xtask/src/repository/snapshot.rs:495-500. check_no_personal_names requires text for every file at xtask/src/checks/vocabulary.rs:98-100, so any binary blob causes that law to fail.
    • Fix
      • Decide and state the intended scan population. If the law is byte-oriented and intended for all repository files, search normalized ASCII bytes directly. If it applies only to textual files, define and enforce a deliberate text-file population/extension policy rather than failing an all-file vocabulary verdict due to unrelated binary data.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change restricts runtime witnesses to evidence-selected limit families, transports scope-guard visibility safely, and strengthens repository snapshot, Cargo, parser, and fixture validation.

Changes

Runtime witness authority

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evidence-selected runtime witness contract
src/types.rs, README.md, src/13_declaration/README.md, src/15_execution/types.rs
Runtime witness types and bounded admission methods now require EvidenceSelectedLimit.
Runtime law fixtures
src/laws.rs, testpak/tests/compile-fail/a-capacity-minted-for-an-undeclared-family.rs, testpak/tests/compile-fail/a-capacity-minted-for-an-undeclared-family.stderr
Runtime-selected families use witnesses. Families without runtime magnitudes use empty bounded collections. Compile-fail coverage checks both witness types and admission methods.

Scope-guard visibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Caller-relative visibility transport
src/02_identity/mod.rs, src/02_identity/README.md
scope_guard_version! separates caller visibility from generated internal visibility and rejects opaque forwarded visibility.
Visibility reachability validation
testpak/tests/scope_guard_visibility.rs, testpak/tests/scope_guard_alias_visibility.rs, testpak/tests/scope_guard_signature_visibility.rs, testpak/tests/compile-fail/*scope-guard*, xtask/fixtures/macro-consumer/src/lib.rs
Positive and compile-fail tests cover visibility forms, invocation depths, aliases, signatures, re-exports, methods, and cross-crate access.

Repository validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Committed snapshot and Cargo authorities
xtask/src/repository/snapshot.rs, xtask/src/repository/cargo.rs, xtask/src/repository/types.rs, xtask/src/repository/mod.rs, xtask/src/main.rs
Snapshots read committed Git trees. Cargo manifest census and live metadata normalization are separate authorities. Duplicate package identities and invalid Git data refuse construction.
Repository parser and coupling rules
xtask/src/checks/coupling.rs, xtask/src/checks/dependency.rs, xtask/src/checks/placement.rs, xtask/src/checks/positivity.rs, xtask/src/repository/markdown.rs
Module scopes, re-export paths, dependency authorities, grouped imports, positive trait implementations, and obligation records receive stricter parsing and regression coverage.
Scratch fixture error propagation
xtask/src/checks/scratch.rs, xtask/src/checks/*
Scratch setup and file operations now propagate errors across validation tests. Vocabulary checks use strict UTF-8 conversion.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 724a8

The PR strengthens compile-time authority and visibility enforcement and improves repository snapshot validation. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a documentation-coverage mismatch and bounded Cargo test-validation hardening around environment isolation and lock-file rejection.

596-608: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a direct lock-file validation check for --no-deps. Cargo 0.98.0 preserves packages[].dependencies fields rename, kind, and target. However, the --no-deps path skips dependency resolution, so the hand-written Cargo.lock does not prove that --locked rejects a missing or stale lock file. Add tests for both cases or validate the lock file separately.

Consider qualifying compile_error! as ::core::compile_error!.

The rest of the expansion uses fully qualified paths, for example $crate::identity::AuthorityPosition and ::core::result::Result. A bare compile_error! resolves at the expansion site. A caller that shadows the name with its own macro_rules! compile_error changes what this arm emits. Qualification keeps this arm consistent with the surrounding transcriber.

Control Cargo configuration without clearing RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN.

ask_cargo sets only current_dir, so host Cargo configuration can affect this temporary-workspace test. Add --offline for the path-only fixture and use a scratch-owned CARGO_HOME. Do not clear RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN unless the command also selects an explicit installed toolchain. Keep the lockfile at version = 4 for Rust 1.97.1.
