Resolves LAB-1203 (filed by the LAB-903 expert panel as deferred follow-up 1 of 2; predecessor: #47).

Problem

tools/python-frame-reference.py had two generation entry points because neither could do the other's job: generate rewrote the whole fixture from whatever the installed wheel could produce (so any vector the wheel couldn't rebuild was one guard away from silent deletion — the LAB-903 CRIT), and generate-bin-twin existed only to append the protocol 1.1 twin without triggering that hazard. #47's drop-refusal guarded the destructive design instead of fixing it. The tool also reimplemented the ByteStorage envelope codec that tools/wire-format-reference.py already carries — two implementations of the exact encoding these fixtures exist to pin.

Change

  • generate now upserts by vector name: vectors the installed wheel reproduces are rebuilt (rewritten only if content changed), every other committed vector stays byte-untouched. Dropping a committed vector is structurally impossible, so the #47 drop-guard, both wheel-direction refusals, and the generate-bin-twin mode are deleted — the wheel's envelope encoding selects which default-path vector it rebuilds (bin wheel → _bin twin, legacy wheel → legacy original).
  • Envelope codec shared, not duplicated: encode/decode come from wire-format-reference.py (stdlib-only, so verify stays dependency-free), with a generate-time check that the shared encoder reproduces the wheel's envelope byte-identically.
  • Twin-lie protection kept and hardened: before any write, the default-path pair must differ ONLY in envelope encoding — now compared on frame-prefix bytes, not parsed JSON.
  • Provenance: rewritten vectors carry per-vector generator; the top-level claim flips to an explicit mixed-provenance statement the first time a previously-unstamped vector is rewritten. A no-op generate never rewrites the file.

Expert panel (mandatory crypto/protocol gate) — run, findings applied

High-stakes 4-agent panel. 1 CRIT + 2 MAJ found, all fixed in ad90a3f:

  • CRIT: sharing the reader-lenient decode_envelope silently weakened verify (old code required the 0x94 fixarray marker; an array16-headed envelope passed both verifiers). verify now requires byte-identical re-encode via the shared codec — strictly stronger than pre-refactor.
  • MAJ: twin proof compared headers as dicts → header-byte drift could slip through. Now byte-level.
  • MAJ: top-level "unchanged since" provenance could silently become false → mixed-provenance flip.
  • MIN: verify pins declared payload_envelope fields against decoded bytes (previously Node-leg-only); generate prints which vectors it rewrote. Catchphrase agent: no cuts beyond one dead assert.

Verification

  • test-vectors/python-frame.json byte-unchanged by this PR (pure generator refactor).
  • No-op generate under real cachekit 0.17.1: byte-identical, both with and without pyarrow (subset run leaves arrow_dataframe_write untouched — the acceptance proof that a wheel rebuilding only a subset preserves the rest).
  • Mutation suite extended 6 → 8 classes (adds outer-array16 header, declared-field drift): all 8 fail the stdlib verifier; the six pre-existing classes still fail frame-crosscheck.mjs too. The two verifiers remain fully independent — frame-crosscheck.mjs untouched.
  • Coverage floor intact (verify fails unless both int-array and bin observed); twin guard refuses field drift and header-byte drift with named invariants; full local verify.yml suite green, including python -O.

Docs

Tool usage text/docstring rewritten for the new modes; generate-bin-twin had no references in spec/README/CI (checked). CHANGELOG updated. spec/wire-format.md needed no change (documents the fixture + verify commands only, both unchanged).

Out of scope per ticket: verifier merging, new vectors (width-boundary coverage is LAB-868), normative spec text.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Reference-vector generation now updates vectors by name while preserving unreproducible or unchanged data byte-for-byte.
    • Protocol 1.1 and legacy twin vectors are generated together where applicable.
    • Vector provenance is recorded for improved traceability.
    • Verification now checks envelope decoding, canonical re-encoding, declared-field consistency and byte-level twin equivalence.
    • Twin divergence produces a warning rather than failing when it cannot be classified.
    • Generation can continue without optional Arrow support.
  • Tests
    • Added regression coverage for twin-equivalence warnings and incomplete fixtures.

Summary

This PR downgrades the twin-equivalence check in tools/python-frame-reference.py from a hard failure to a stderr warning, resolving a deadlock risk in the vector generate flow.

What Changed

Twin-equivalence check: hard failure → warning

_require_twin_equivalence() previously raised a ValueError (via _require()) whenever the _bin twin diverged from the frozen legacy vector in anything other than envelope encoding. The check now collects all mismatches (value_json, frame prefix bytes, and each payload_envelope field) and prints them to stderr as a warning instead of aborting.

Why: The legacy (array-of-ints) wheel is gone from every installable release, so the legacy vector can never be regenerated. Treating any divergence as fatal would mean that any legitimate future change to the default write path would permanently deadlock generate — the newly-rebuilt _bin twin could never again match a legacy vector frozen at the old write path. generate cannot distinguish a codec/wheel regression from a genuine protocol evolution, so the divergence is now surfaced for a human to review and decide.

New regression test

Adds tools/test_python_frame_reference.py, which pins the new behavior:

  • An identical twin pair emits no warning.
  • A diverged pair warns (naming the diverging field) but does not raise.
  • A partial fixture (missing a twin) still produces the existing skip note.

This test is wired into .github/workflows/verify.yml to run ahead of the existing frame-reference verify step.

Refactor

Error-vector construction is extracted from generate() into a standalone _build_error_vectors() helper so the frame-vector and error-vector flows read independently. A ModuleType return type annotation is added to _load_wire_format_codec(). Documentation comments and the CHANGELOG are updated to describe the warning-based behavior.

…(LAB-1203)

python-frame-reference.py 'generate' rewrote the whole fixture from whatever
the installed wheel could produce, so every vector the wheel could not rebuild
was one guard away from silent deletion — LAB-903 found exactly that as a CRIT
and PR #47 patched it with a drop-refusal. Upsert-by-name dissolves the hazard
instead of guarding it: only vectors the wheel reproduces are rewritten
(matched by name), everything else stays byte-untouched, so dropping a
committed vector is structurally impossible and the drop guard, both
wheel-direction refusals, and the generate-bin-twin entry point are deleted.

The wheel's envelope encoding now selects WHICH default-path vector it
rebuilds: a protocol 1.1 (bin) wheel upserts the _bin twin, a legacy wheel the
legacy original. The pair is still proven to differ only in envelope encoding
before anything is written (the LAB-903 twin-lie protection), and rewritten
vectors carry per-vector generator provenance; a no-op run never rewrites the
file.

The ByteStorage envelope codec is no longer reimplemented: encode/decode come
from wire-format-reference.py (stdlib-only, so 'verify' stays dependency-free),
with a new generation-time fidelity check that the shared encoder reproduces
the wheel's envelope byte-identically. This also makes the Python verifier
enforce the protocol 1.1 flip exclusions (checksum stays int-array, format
stays fixstr) that previously only the Node cross-check enforced.

Verified: fixture byte-unchanged; no-op generate under cachekit 0.17.1
byte-identical; subset run (no pyarrow) preserves arrow vector; six-class
mutation suite still fails in BOTH independent verifiers; full local verify.yml
suite green.
…rence

Panel (high stakes, 4 agents) found one CRIT and two MAJ, all applied:

- CRIT: sharing decode_envelope silently WEAKENED verify — the old tag sniff
  required the 0x94 fixarray(4) marker, the shared decoder tolerates
  array16/array32 outer headers (reader-lenient), and the Node cross-check
  was always lenient there too, so a spec-violating dc0004 envelope passed
  both verifiers. verify now requires the envelope to re-encode
  byte-identically via the shared codec, pinning the canonical rmp_serde
  shortest-form encoding — strictly stronger than the pre-refactor check.
- MAJ: the twin-equivalence proof compared expected_header as a parsed dict;
  a wheel changing header JSON serialization (dict-equal, byte-different)
  could upsert a byte-level non-twin. Now compares frame prefixes
  (magic/version/header) at the byte level.
- MAJ: rewriting a previously-unstamped vector would falsify the top-level
  'unchanged since' provenance claim. generate now flips the top-level field
  to an explicit mixed-provenance statement (idempotent) when that happens.
- MIN: verify pins declared compressed_data_hex/checksum_hex/original_size/
  format against the decoded envelope bytes (previously Node-only);
  generate prints WHICH vectors it rewrote; no-op message no longer reads
  as fixture totals; dead type-narrowing assert removed.

Mutation suite extended to 8 classes — all fail the stdlib verifier; the
twin guard refuses both field drift and header-byte drift with named
invariants. No-op generate remains byte-identical (subset and full venvs),
second runs idempotent, full local verify.yml suite green.

Walkthrough

The Python frame reference generator now uses the shared envelope codec, upserts vectors by name, preserves unreproducible vectors, records provenance, and validates canonical bytes and encoding twins. Arrow generation is optional. The standalone generate-bin-twin mode was removed.

Changes

Frame reference generation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared envelope verification
tools/python-frame-reference.py
The tool loads the shared wire-format codec. Verification decodes and re-encodes envelopes, then checks canonical bytes, fields, checksums, formats, and emitted encoding.
Vector generation and name-based upsert
tools/python-frame-reference.py
Generation creates encoding-specific vectors, optionally regenerates Arrow data, records provenance, upserts vectors by name, preserves unreproduced vectors, validates twins, and writes only changed content. The generate-bin-twin mode is removed.
Twin regression coverage and verification wiring
tools/test_python_frame_reference.py, .github/workflows/verify.yml, CHANGELOG.md
The regression test covers identical, divergent, and incomplete twin fixtures. CI runs the test before verification. The changelog records the updated behaviour.

…ivalence (LAB-1203)

Kody review finding on PR #56: generate() only ever rebuilds the one
default-path vector the installed wheel's encoding selects, but the
twin-equivalence guard hard-required BOTH twins in the merged fixture, so
a partial fixture (fresh bootstrap, or a deliberately removed vector)
aborted before writing anything — a regression from the removed
append-only generate-bin-twin, which tolerated an absent twin.

The guard now no-ops when either twin is absent (nothing is comparable)
and prints a stderr note instead of skipping silently. Enforcement when
both twins exist is unchanged — field drift and frame-prefix byte drift
are still refused before any write. Completeness stays gated where it
always was: verify()'s coverage floor fails the fixture until both
int-array and bin encodings are observed, and _upsert never removes, so
an established fixture cannot regress into the skip branch.

Expert panel (high stakes, 4 agents) on this diff: bug-hunter, security
and pragmatism legs all clear; craftsman's doc findings applied
(docstring states the no-op, comment states the floor pins encodings
not names). Rejected: pinning the twin names inside verify()'s coverage
floor — that reintroduces the same fixture-shape rigidity in the
verifier that this fix removes from the generator.

…AB-1203)

Three CodeRabbit findings on PR #56:

- ANN202: _load_wire_format_codec returns a module, so annotate it
  ModuleType rather than leaving the one unannotated def in the file.
- PLR0915: generate() carried 56 statements against a 50 ceiling. The
  error-vector construction is the natural seam — it depends only on
  raw_frame plus the two generation-time imports and shares no state with
  the frame-vector flow — so it moves to _build_error_vectors(). Every
  real-implementation check moves with it unchanged: each vector is still
  proven rejected by cachekit-py, and the interop vector still proven
  rejected by a strict msgpack reader, before anything can be written.
- CHANGELOG overstated the twin-equivalence guard. Since 3a6cd52 the guard
  no-ops when either twin is absent, so the entry now scopes the claim to
  a complete pair and names the skip.

The extraction is proven behaviour-preserving, not merely assumed: running
generate on the same wheel before and after produces byte-identical output
(both report the fixture already up to date, nothing written), and the
stdlib verify leg — the CI check — passes on all 8 vectors.

verify()'s own PLR0915 (79 statements) is pre-existing and untouched here.

@coderabbitai review

Pushed e803fda addressing all three findings: _load_wire_format_codec annotated -> ModuleType, the error-vector flow extracted to _build_error_vectors() (generate() now under the PLR0915 ceiling), and the CHANGELOG twin-equivalence claim scoped to a complete pair with the skip named. The extraction is proven behaviour-preserving — generate run on the same wheel before and after produces byte-identical vector output. Kody's print()-to-logging finding is rebutted in-thread: this is a stdlib-only CLI whose printed output is its CI-consumed contract.

…tors (LAB-1203)

Expert-panel finding (bug-hunter, security, craftsman, catchphrase; high
stakes). Both quality reviewers converged independently: threading `msgpack`
and `SerializationWrapper` in as parameters bought no seam at a single call
site, and the annotations were vacuous — `type` admits every class and
`ModuleType` every module, so neither constrained what the body actually
needs. The file's own sibling `_build_default_path_vector()` already sets the
convention: no parameters, function-local generation-only imports. Both are
sys.modules-cached by the time this runs, so the re-import costs nothing.

Also dropped the "(PLR0915)" citation from the docstring. This repo has no
pyproject.toml and no ruff config, and CI runs only the vector verify — the
rule came from a review bot's on-diff analysis, so naming it in a docstring
pointed at a gate that does not exist and invited someone to "finish the job"
on verify() (79 statements, deliberately out of scope here).

Still byte-identical: generate on the same wheel reports the fixture already
up to date, and the emitted file diffs clean against the committed one.

Panel findings rejected, with reasons:
- Craftsman: make the two moved invariants raise ValueError via the file's
  _require() convention rather than AssertionError. Both raises predate this
  PR and moved across unchanged; rewriting them would break the
  character-identical-lift property this extraction was accepted on, for a
  pre-existing asymmetry outside the diff. Worth its own ticket.
- Catchphrase: trim the saas wildcard comment to two lines. Kept at five —
  the LAB-1207 memory entry recorded the buggy path==='/*' skip *as design*,
  which is precisely the repeat this comment exists to prevent. The craftsman
  independently judged it sufficient.

Expert panel — high stakes, applied

Ran the mandatory panel (bug-hunter-supreme, security-specialist, code-craftsman, catchphrase-agent) over e803fda. Bug-hunter and security returned NO FINDINGS; both quality reviewers converged independently on one real finding, now applied in e7dfbdc.

Applied

  • _build_error_vectors(raw_frame, msgpack, wrapper)_build_error_vectors(raw_frame). Threading a module and a class through a single call site bought no seam, and the annotations were vacuous — type admits every class, ModuleType every module. The file's own sibling _build_default_path_vector() already sets the convention: no parameters, function-local generation-only imports (both sys.modules-cached by then, so the re-import is free).
  • Dropped the (PLR0915) citation from the docstring. This repo has no pyproject.toml and no ruff config, and CI runs only the vector verify — the rule came from CodeRabbit's on-diff analysis, so naming it pointed at a gate that doesn't exist and invited someone to "finish the job" on verify().

Rejected, with reasons

  • Craftsman: make the two moved invariants raise ValueError via the file's _require() convention instead of AssertionError. Both raises predate this PR and moved across unchanged; rewriting them would break the character-identical-lift property the extraction was accepted on, to fix a pre-existing asymmetry outside the diff. Worth its own ticket, not this one.
  • Catchphrase: revert the extraction entirely as compliance theatre. Rejected on the panel's own reasoning — the file already carries four _build_* / _require_* / _upsert helpers split out of the same flow, so the shape is consistent regardless of what motivated it. Its own verdict was "bad motive, incidentally fine shape. Fix the signature, don't revert the split."

Verification after the panel change: generate on the same wheel still reports the fixture already up to date and the emitted file diffs clean against the committed one — byte-identical. verify passes all 8 vectors. generate() stays under the statement ceiling and the file stays ANN-clean.

Bug-hunter verified the extraction mechanically rather than taking my word: it diffed the extracted body against the pre-commit inline block and found it character-identical modulo the one rename, and confirmed raw_frame is still bound before the call and built_errors still assigned before both _upsert calls and _require_twin_equivalence.

Per the LAB-423 precedent, this diff is tools/ + CHANGELOG only with no spec/ or wire-byte change, so it is format-neutral by construction — but the panel ran anyway rather than claim the exemption.

@coderabbitai review

Pushed e7dfbdc (expert-panel finding: dropped the injected module/class from _build_error_vectors, and the PLR0915 citation naming a gate this repo does not run). PERF203 and TRY003 are rejected in-thread with reasons — both sites are character-identical lifts of pre-existing code that only entered the diff because the extraction moved them, and rewriting them would spend the behaviour-preserving guarantee the extraction was accepted on. The TRY003 point has a real convention asymmetry underneath it; I've suggested it as its own ticket.

Learning: In `tools/python-frame-reference.py`, the two `AssertionError` raises in `_build_error_vectors()` are intentional generation-time invariant failures. They are unchanged lifts from `generate()` before commit `e803fda`, are not caught by callers, and retain detailed messages for direct human diagnosis. Any standardization with `_require()` and its `ValueError` contract should be scoped as separate work rather than included in behavior-preserving extractions.

…e runs (LAB-1203)

Cobel's G3(b) adversarial review of e7dfbdc found a HIGH: the default-path
twin-equivalence check used _require() (raise on mismatch), but the legacy
(array-of-ints) wheel that produced `default_saas_write_msgpack_bytestorage`
is gone from every installable release, so that vector can never be
regenerated. The first legitimate default-write-path change (new header
field, msgpack key reorder, different LZ4 level — anything other than the
encoding flip) would make the freshly-rebuilt `_bin` twin permanently
diverge from the frozen legacy vector, and `generate` would raise forever
with no way to ever pass again.

Downgrade the check to a stderr warning: it still surfaces every diverging
field, but lets generate() finish writing instead of crashing. A human
reviews the warning and decides whether it's a codec/wheel regression (don't
commit) or a genuine protocol evolution (commit, update the twin's
description) — generate() itself can't distinguish the two.

Adds tools/test_python_frame_reference.py (wired into verify.yml) pinning
that an identical pair is silent, a diverged pair warns without raising, and
a partial fixture keeps its existing skip-note behavior.
