Problem and delivered behavior

Retention publication needs restart classification of fixed stages, coherent reader views, and model-backed transition checks. This PR supplies recovery planning/execution, publication-triggered recovery, immutable reader fencing and namespace-transition model coverage.

The approved landing deliberately preserves incomplete stages. Direct recovery and publication-triggered recovery return a precise existing corruption refusal or typed IncompleteStageRequiresDisposition before any recovery mutation, including changes to complete earlier stages. Complete root/manifest stages still become protected pool evidence; complete head recovery and already-committed cleanup remain supported.

Approved scope and invariants

  • A — preservation: automatic incomplete-stage disposal and stronger completion-feasibility admission are deferred to Design explicit disposition for incomplete retention stages #155. Absence of a detected contradiction is not proof of a valid completion. Publication may remain blocked; users must not blindly delete retained stages.
  • B — concurrency: cooperating writers operate under Keep authority in a managed namespace. The writer lock does not isolate arbitrary concurrent out-of-band namespace mutation. No-follow, observed identity, exact-byte, namespace and corruption checks remain. A handle or metadata guard does not make pathname unlink/rename inode-conditional.
  • C — execution failure: planning refusal starts no mutation. Execution failure preserves the typed cause and reports the failed boundary, completed earlier capabilities, and the failing capability's known/uncertain effects and durability. Failure is not rollback. Later steps stop; retry freshly observes.

Complete-stage cleanup verifies both source and pool evidence, retains the opened source through the operation, and preserves the observed identity across reopening. Its preservation guarantee concerns verified surviving pool evidence; successful cleanup intentionally removes the stage pathname.

Approach and alternatives

The pure planner rejects incomplete evidence before building an executable plan; reserved lower-level filesystem discard capabilities also refuse. Shared stage operations retain source identity and annotate errors at effect boundaries. The executor exposes progress without stringifying the original cause.

Rejected alternatives: continuing automatic deletion based on partial feasibility checks, adding a quarantine namespace/journal/format, treating failed sync as rollback, or claiming isolation against raw namespace mutation. The accepted availability cost keeps this landing bounded and preserves evidence for future explicit disposition.

Validation and review

The single closure ledger is docs/testing-evidence/retention-landing.md; the normative contract is retention-recovery.md, with the accepted decision. The ledger reconciles inline threads, review bodies, top-level discussion, duplicates and approved deferrals.

Bug regressions reproduce source substitution and missing post-unlink effect reporting on unfixed code. Incomplete-stage expectation changes are explicitly classified as the approved behavior change. Focused runtime laws cover direct/publication refusal and retained evidence, corruption diagnostics, the maximum-namespace/future-entry counterexample, complete-stage success, pre-effect substitution, real namespace effects followed by injected sync failures, and fresh-authority restart. Port-level uncertain-effect simulation is distinguished from filesystem execution. Process-death and syscall-order evidence do not claim physical power-loss proof.

All required hosted checks are green on 29067f7d20f078553a0e40a1f2f237a60ade5781: Rust quality, documentation/workflow integrity, runtime fuzz smoke and dependency policy/audits. agy returned no review because of HTTP 429 quota exhaustion; CodeRabbit skipped the requested review because of its file limit. The maintainer explicitly authorized a separate Codex instance using the same adversarial prompt and authorized merge if satisfactory. Both the primary Code Lawyer audit and independent Codex review APPROVE this exact head against the approved A/B/C contract, with complete verification checklists in the PR discussion. No repository protection is bypassed; neither unavailable provider is represented as approving.

Compatibility, recovery and security

No on-disk format changes or new dependencies. Public error reporting adds typed incomplete disposition and failing-capability progress; the old incomplete-stage cleanup success behavior intentionally changes. Existing precise corruption causes remain distinguishable. Managed-namespace identity and no-follow protections remain enforced.

No performance optimization or benchmark improvement is claimed. Recovery still uses the documented bounded catalog/segment admission policy; complete-stage verification performs blocking filesystem I/O.

Complete-orphan disposition/collection remains outside this PR (#21). Catalog publisher admission is separately tracked in #150. Migration changes merged from main retain their own recovery contract; retention decision A does not change migration-stage disposal.

Refs #19 #21 #78. Follow-up #155.

Retention publication refuses every retained stage as recovery-required, and
nothing yet decides what a retained stage means. This adds the
storage-independent half of that decision.

assess_root_stage, assess_manifest_stage, and assess_head_stage classify each
fixed stage as absent, complete, truncated, or corrupt, using the decoders'
own truncation variants so a crash mid-write and a complete-looking record
that fails a checksum are told apart. RetentionRecoveryEvidence binds those
assessments to the observed current state and to whether each pool already
holds the entry a complete stage names. plan_retention_recovery is pure over
that evidence and applies the documented classification: a truncated stage
with no later-ordered effect is discarded; a complete root or manifest stage
is linked into its pool and retained as a recovery-protected orphan; a
complete head over linked stages is finalized and both stages removed; stages
the published head already names are cleaned up; everything else is a typed
RetentionRecoveryRefusal before any effect.

Eleven laws over the golden version-two records cover every crash prefix the
recovery page names, including the successor case against a published
generation. No I/O happens here; the storage port and executor follow.

Refs #19
RetentionRecoveryStorage names one durable capability per recovery step:
discard a truncated stage, link a complete root or manifest stage into its
pool, finalize the head, and remove a retained stage after its link is proven.
Each capability owns its complete effect and the synchronization that makes
it durable, so an implementation cannot report a step done before its
evidence would survive process death.

execute_retention_recovery runs a plan in order, calling exactly one
capability per step, and stops at the first refusal with the refused step,
the completed prefix, and the storage's error as source; the caller re-observes
and re-plans rather than continuing from stale evidence. The receipt records
the executed steps and the plan's outcome. Three laws against a recording fake
storage pin the mapping, the empty plan, and the refusal prefix.

Refs #19
FilesystemRetentionPublicationAuthority::recover observes the published
state, reads root.next, manifest.next, and head.next within their format
bounds (one byte past the bound so an oversized stage is corrupt rather than
truncated), looks up the pool entries the complete stages name, plans through
plan_retention_recovery, and executes the plan as the RetentionRecoveryStorage
implementation under the retained writer lock.

Complete stages are reopened through the new FilesystemRetentionStage::reopen,
which binds the handle and the named entry to their identity exactly as a
freshly created stage is, so link, replace, and remove refuse a substituted
stage during recovery too. A truncated stage is discarded only after its kind,
length, and identity match what was observed. Every step synchronizes the
directory it changed before returning.

Four laws build real crash prefixes by driving the publication phases directly
and stopping: a clean store is clean; a root stage written and synchronized is
linked and retained as a protected orphan; a head stage synchronized before
the crash is finalized, the stages are removed, and the byte-identical retry
reports AlreadyCommitted; a truncated root stage is discarded. Publication
does not yet call recover itself; that wiring follows.

Refs #19
…ted state

The retention fixture now drives all 18 storage-port phases in
RetentionPublicationPhase::ALL order and stops after any prefix, which is the
exact state a process death after that phase leaves behind. Three laws use
it. The first walks every prefix from 0 through 18 in a fresh store and
requires the documented recovery steps and outcome, the stages left behind,
idempotent re-recovery, and the forward retry's result: published after a
clean prefix, refused as recovery-required while protected orphans remain,
already committed once the head is finalized. The second truncates each stage
mid-write and requires only that stage discarded. The third replays successor
prefixes over a published generation and requires the committed head to name
the successor.

recovery.md states that storage execution now exists and only process-death
evidence remains; the RETENTION-007 ledger cell names the laws.

Refs #19
The retention publication page has always listed "completes recovery of every
fixed retention stage" as publication's first step, and until now the
filesystem writer refused every retained stage instead, which left an
interrupted publication waiting for a human.

verify_current now calls recover before anything else. A clean or committed
outcome continues; a protected outcome (complete orphans awaiting explicit
disposition) refuses RetainedStage as before; recovery's planning refusal and
step failure travel as RecoveryRefused { source } and RecoveryStepRefused
{ source } through RetentionCurrentStateRefusal, so callers keep recovery's
own reason.

Three laws that pinned the refuse-everything doctrine now pin the recovered
behaviour: a truncated manifest stage is discarded and publication publishes
(this law failed before the change), a complete orphan root stage still
refuses and stays retained and linked, and a complete head stage without its
manifest refuses with recovery's ambiguity. README, the version-two overview,
the retention page, and the ledger nonclaims describe the recovered behaviour
and name the two remaining waits: complete orphans until disposition (#21)
and process-death evidence (#19).

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1b028

The retention recovery and snapshot changes have several open review concerns. Resolve the snapshot catalog-loading consistency gap and the crash-point contract test failure before merging. The rest are minor test and documentation cleanups.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1b028

Recovery has substantial identity and consistency checks. However, the new snapshot path can reload catalog data through a replaced filesystem path while retaining the original store’s lock and retention state. This requires control of the local path, but can undermine snapshot integrity.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new combined snapshot uses pinned directories for its fence and coordinate reads but reopens the configured path to load the catalog. If an actor can replace that path with another well-formed store after initial admission, unchanged coordinates from the original directory can accept catalog data from the replacement alongside the original retention state. Content validation does not establish that both components belong to the fenced store.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified path-binding issue affects the integrity of a combined snapshot and potentially its downstream consumers. It requires authority to replace or redirect the configured local store path after admission. Cross-tenant exposure, remote reachability, arbitrary writes, and privilege escalation were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A path-controlling actor could redirect catalog loading to a different valid store after the original directory and fence are opened. Both coordinate samples can remain stable on the original directory, so the collector can return the replacement catalog with the original retention manifest. Catalog decoding and internal record validation are countercontrols, but neither binds that catalog to the original fenced root.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Recovery does not directly promote raw filesystem names into publication authority. Names derive from admitted stage content; pool verification checks exact bytes and identity; planning checks cross-stage selection, successors, and predecessors before head finalization.
  • observed — Selected-root reads use derived pool names, no-follow directory opening, bounded record reads, and verification against the manifest’s selected generation and digest. These checks protect retained-root selection but do not resolve the independent catalog-root rebinding issue.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Recovery execution preserves ordered progress reporting, and repeated recovery reconstructs its decision from persisted state rather than relying on stale in-memory context. This supports failure containment without bypassing protected-state refusals.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Load the catalog through the already retained directory capability and bind the loaded view’s coordinates to the accepted coordinate samples. Add a deterministic path-replacement case proving that a replacement store cannot enter the original fenced snapshot.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/formats/segment-store-v2/requirements.md`:
- Line 18: Update the KEEP-RETENTION-007 requirement wording to distinguish
exhaustive recovery coverage for publication prefixes from the sampled successor
coverage: replace the unqualified “successor prefixes recover” phrasing with
“four representative successor prefixes recover.” Preserve the existing claims
for every publication prefix and each mid-write truncation.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 72-75: Update the restart-recovery status statements in the
Version 2 documentation and the segment-store V2 documentation: replace the
claims that retention-publication or retained-stage recovery is planned with the
remaining KEEP-CRASH-036..052 process-death evidence gap and the partial-prefix
migration recovery gap.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_current.rs`:
- Line 68: Update ObservedRetentionState::for_tests to validate the
head-to-manifest binding before constructing the state, matching observe’s
digest, generation, and predecessor consistency checks; reject inconsistent
records rather than allowing impossible recovery states.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_recovery_observation.rs`:
- Around line 19-20: Replace the local MANIFEST_MAXIMUM_ENCODED_LENGTH value in
the retention recovery observation with the codec-owned maximum-length constant,
and expose that constant from the manifest codec as needed. Ensure read_stage
uses the shared value so its truncation bound remains consistent with
manifest_header_decoder and RetentionManifest::MAXIMUM_ENTRY_COUNT.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_recovery_tests.rs`:
- Around line 93-110: The filesystem recovery tests need a full-length corrupted
root.next case in addition to truncation. Add a test using the existing
fixture/setup helpers that alters the checksum while preserving stage length,
invokes authority.recover(), and verifies the failure is
FilesystemRetentionRecoveryError::Plan containing
RetentionRecoveryRefusal::StageCorrupt; also assert root.next remains and the
filesystem observation classifies it as RetentionStageAssessment::Corrupt
through RetentionRecoveryObservation::read_stage.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_storage_tests.rs`:
- Around line 80-83: Strengthen both retention recovery tests by matching the
inner source of RecoveryRefused against
RetentionRecoveryRefusal::HeadStageWithoutManifestStage, rather than accepting
any RecoveryRefused variant. Apply this assertion in both tests while preserving
the existing migrated-store setup.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_storage.rs`:
- Line 33: Update RetentionCurrentStateRefusal and verify_current so
FilesystemRetentionRecoveryError::Observe is wrapped as
RecoveryObservationRefused { source } rather than returned as the raw io::Error.
Add matching message() and source() handling while preserving the original error
source and existing behavior for other refusal variants.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_test_fixture.rs`:
- Around line 286-305: Replace the positional `phases` closure array with
iteration over `RetentionPublicationPhase::ALL`, dispatching each enum variant
to its corresponding authority method while preserving the existing order and
behavior. Ensure the mapping is exhaustive so additions, removals, or reordering
in `ALL` are reflected by the fixture rather than maintained separately.

In `@src/adapters/retention/recovery_execution_tests.rs`:
- Line 111: Add a recovery test case for refusal at Step::FinalizeHead,
configuring refuse_at accordingly and asserting that error.executed() and
storage.calls are both empty while preserving the existing post-FinalizeHead
refusal coverage.

In `@src/adapters/retention/recovery_planner.rs`:
- Line 93: Update the match arm in the recovery planner to distinguish
(Some(head), Some(manifest), None) from cases without a manifest, returning the
existing Refusal::ManifestStageWithoutRootStage variant when the manifest is
present but its root stage is missing; preserve HeadStageWithoutManifestStage
for cases where the head lacks a manifest.

In `@src/adapters/retention/recovery_storage.rs`:
- Around line 11-17: Introduce a dedicated recovery-storage error type with
typed ExactRecordRefusal variants and a source-preserving I/O variant, then
update RetentionRecoveryStorage’s eight capabilities and RetentionRecoveryError
to propagate it instead of flattening refusals into io::Error. Ensure
FilesystemRetentionStage::retention_error preserves each refusal variant, and
add coverage verifying the distinct refusal variants reach callers unchanged.

No change required. filesystem_retention_current::observe requires the current manifest pool entry. When is_committed matches manifest.next to the observed head, both use the same generation and digest, so pool_entry cannot report Pool::Absent. It reports Pool::Identical or Pool::Different; the latter is rejected before cleanup. The proposed guard is therefore unreachable for the observed committed state.

Keep reopen read-only. Recovery uses the reopened stage for link, replace, and remove; it synchronizes directories instead. FilesystemRetentionStage::synchronize is called only for stages created by FilesystemRetentionStage::create, so the read-only recovery handle never reaches sync_all.

The durability crash matrix now covers KEEP-CRASH-036 through 052. A child
initializes a store, writes the golden bundle corpus, migrates it through all
21 phases, reopens it as version two, prepares retention generation one
against the bundle catalog snapshot, and publishes through a decorator that
dies before, during, or after the selected phase. During a stage write the
decorator leaves a 100-byte prefix, inside every record's framing, so restart
classifies it as truncated rather than corrupt.

Restart reopens the store through the same admission a production caller
would use, runs FilesystemRetentionPublicationAuthority::recover, and requires
the documented steps and outcome for that exact prefix, then requires the
forward retry to report what recovery predicts: published after a clean
prefix, refused as recovery-required while protected orphans remain, already
committed once the head is finalized. All 51 retention coordinates pass, and
the complete 156-case matrix passes locally.

FilesystemVersionTwoAdmission::reopen_unchecked_for_repository_tasks and
FilesystemStoreMigrationAuthority::open_unchecked_for_repository_tasks give
repository tools the bypass version one already had; every namespace, record,
and identity law still applies through them. KEEP-RETENTION-007 is now
Implemented in the ledger; the README, overview, and recovery page say that
process-death evidence exists.

Refs #19
Readers had no way to observe a version-two store that could not straddle a
publication: nothing held the reader fence the recovery page specifies, and
nothing bound the catalog head and the retention head to one instant.

ReaderFence acquires a shared kernel lock on reader.lock, verified as a
regular zero-length file reached without following links and re-verified
after locking, and holds it for the snapshot's lifetime; collection will take
the same lock exclusively, so no published root, manifest, or segment can be
deleted under a live view. collect_retention_view is storage-independent: it
reads both head coordinates, loads the view, reads them again, and accepts
only agreement, retrying within a ReaderAttemptLimit and refusing an
exhausted limit or an absent catalog. FilesystemRetentionSnapshot admits the
root as version two, acquires the fence, collects the catalog snapshot, the
retention head, and its manifest through that loop, and verifies each
selected root against the manifest on demand while the fence is held.

Four scripted-source laws pin the loop (first-attempt acceptance, retry after
a publication between the reads, exhaustion, absent catalog). Five filesystem
laws pin the fence and the view: an unpublished store binds the catalog and
no head; a published generation is read and its root verified byte for byte;
a substituted root refuses; two readers share the fence while an exclusive
lock waits; a replaced reader.lock refuses. KEEP-RETENTION-008 is Implemented
in the ledger; the README's fence gap is closed.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/formats/segment-store-v2/README.md`:
- Line 103: Synchronize the v2 status summaries with the requirements ledger:
mark retention publication recovery and reader fencing as implemented, keep
partial-prefix migration recovery and model-based transition evidence planned
under issue `#19`, and keep garbage collection planned under issue `#21`. Update the
ownership wording from “the first four” to “the first three” in the requirements
summary and apply the same status correction to the format registry summary.

In `@src/adapters/filesystem_version_two_admission.rs`:
- Around line 78-84: Consolidate reopen_unchecked_for_tests and
reopen_unchecked_for_repository_tasks into one constructor gated by
#[cfg(any(test, feature = "repository-tasks"))], update all test callers to use
the retained constructor, and remove the duplicate implementation. Move the
“Releases the writer lock and the three pinned retention capabilities.”
documentation back above into_parts.

In `@src/adapters/retention.rs`:
- Line 152: Keep ReaderFence crate-private by changing its re-export in
retention.rs to pub(crate), and remove ReaderFence from the crate-root re-export
in lib.rs; leave FilesystemRetentionSnapshot and other public exports unchanged.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_snapshot_tests.rs`:
- Around line 102-104: Update the assertion for the NonBlockingLockExclusive
call in the filesystem retention snapshot test to require Errno::WOULDBLOCK
specifically, while preserving the existing contention setup and failure
message.
- Around line 112-122: Add a deterministic test seam in the ReaderFence
acquisition flow that replaces reader.lock after the first verify and before
flock, then assert FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::Fence from
FilesystemRetentionSnapshot::load. Rename
a_replaced_reader_lock_refuses_the_fence to
a_non_empty_reader_lock_refuses_the_fence for the existing non-empty-file case,
keeping the identity-swap scenario separate.
- Around line 86-89: Update the substituted-root test assertion to match
FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::Root containing
RetentionRootDecodeError::ChecksumMismatch, rather than accepting any root
error. Preserve the existing test setup that flips the final root_bytes byte and
verify the specific wrapped checksum failure.

In `@src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs`:
- Around line 73-74: Preserve the typed catalog-refusal boundary in the
retention snapshot load flow: update RetentionViewSource::load and its callers
so CatalogRestartError is not converted into io::Error, and ensure the failure
reaches the construction site around collect_retention_view as
FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::Catalog rather than Error::View. Keep ordinary
I/O failures mapped to the existing view error path, and retain the documented
behavior of the load API.
- Line 73: Update the catalog-loading flow around
FilesystemCatalogSnapshot::load to use the pinned Dir capability opened for the
snapshot instead of re-resolving self.store_root by path. Ensure loading occurs
under the existing reader.lock fence and remains anchored to the same directory
capability used for the before/after coordinate comparisons.

In `@src/adapters/retention/retention_view_collector_tests.rs`:
- Around line 61-70: The retention view collector tests need coverage for
coordinate digest equality and I/O failures. Extend the tests around
collect_retention_view to add a same-generation/different-digest case, plus
failures for the initial coordinate read, load, and final coordinate read,
asserting RetentionViewError::Io; also update fn
a_publication_between_the_reads_discards_the_view_and_retries to assert
source.coordinates is empty after its two attempts.

In `@src/adapters/store_migration/filesystem_migration_authority.rs`:
- Around line 88-89: Update the admission construction around
FilesystemPlatformAdmission::unchecked_for_repository_tasks so clone_directory
failures map to Error::Namespace while root_identity_lenient failures continue
mapping to Error::RootIdentity; adjust the method’s # Errors documentation to
describe both failure boundaries.

In `@xtask/src/durability_crash_matrix/restart/retention.rs`:
- Around line 44-49: In the retention recovery flow around reopened_authority
and recover, load the persistent FilesystemRetentionSnapshot after recovery and
independently verify the expected retention_head generation and
manifest-selected root for cases that expect a head, while preserving the
existing receipt and retry assertions.

No change is needed for atomic During points. CrashRetentionStorage::execute runs the operation before CrashControl::after. For DuringTiming::After, CrashControl::after then triggers process death. The atomic-point prefix is therefore completed, and phase is correct.

This variant is well documented and correctly wired into source() at Line 60. It is also never constructed. The root cause is in src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs at Lines 73-74, where the CatalogRestartError is collapsed into an io::Error and surfaces as Error::View.

Keep the binary search. RetentionManifest stores entries in strict namespace-digest order because its checked constructor sorts caller input, rejects duplicate namespaces, and exposes the entries only after admission. An unsorted manifest cannot reach this lookup through that contract.

…odel

KEEP-RETENTION-010 asks that model operation sequences agree with a
deterministic namespace-to-anchor-set map and that no caller identity, path,
clock, or application policy enters the core transition.

Five laws now run every three-operation sequence over initial publications of
two namespaces, a successor of the first, a byte-identical retry of the last
accepted publication, and an initial publication from a stale view: 125
sequences, each in a fresh migrated store, driven through the real filesystem
authority. After every step the fenced reader view must equal the model
exactly: the manifest's namespace-to-generation map, the liveness generation,
and each selected root's generation and anchor set, with a refused operation
leaving the view unchanged. The model was corrected three times by the store
during development, each time toward the rule the publication page states:
a byte-identical retry is already committed only while that exact staged
successor, head included, remains current; a stale initial is superseded by
any later publication.

A source contract walks src/retention and the storage-independent retention
adapters and refuses any clock, path, filesystem, environment, or identity
token. KEEP-RETENTION-010 is Implemented in the ledger.

Activity Summary — item 6 complete at c9277ead

Eight slices, each Red → Green → Commit under the full gate chain (fmt, clippy pedantic in both feature sets, both test suites, doctests, cargo doc, documentation refusal and integrity, source structure, conformance, golden worldline), plus the complete 156-case crash matrix locally; CI green on every pushed head.

What a reviewer should look at first.

  • plan_retention_recovery (recovery_planner.rs): the whole classification is one pure function; the eleven laws in recovery_planner_tests.rs are its specification.
  • filesystem_retention_recovery_prefix_tests.rs: the table in expected(count) is the documented state for every crash prefix; the crash matrix's restart/retention.rs carries the same table for real process death.
  • retention_model_tests.rs: the model was corrected three times by the store during development, each time toward the rule the publication page states. Those corrections are recorded in the commit message.

Deliberate decisions.

  • Publication runs recovery as its first step, as the publication page has always specified; three laws that pinned the old refuse-everything doctrine now pin the recovered behaviour.
  • Complete orphans stay recovery-protected until explicit disposition (Implement deterministic GC planning and identity-preserving compaction #21); that is the spec's rule, not a gap.
  • Readers verify selected roots on demand under the fence rather than loading every root at collection; the ledger row says so.

Problem: the README gap table sent retention recovery, the reader fence,
and migration recovery to #19, which closed on 2026-09-08 under another
title; durable reads had no issue at all; the crate doc said filesystem
retention execution was absent while FilesystemRetentionPublicationAuthority
is exported; migration-inventory.md called verification-first migration
storage "in progress" while KEEP-MIGRATION-003 is Implemented; and
retention-publication.md described version-2 catalog publication as
behaviour when no version-2 catalog publisher exists.

Approach: open #108 (partial-prefix migration recovery and
KEEP-CRASH-053..073) and #109 (durable authenticated reads,
KEEP-RECONSTRUCT-009 and -010) and point the README rows at them and at
PR #99; rewrite the crate doc to name what is present and absent; state
the migration-inventory verification as implemented; and label version-2
catalog publication as a gap with its consequence: a migrated store admits
no catalog publication until the durable write path (#82) lands.

Evidence: the documentation contract tests, the version-2 protocol
contract, the doctests, markdownlint, and the roadmap link check pass.

ROADMAP T-38.1, T-38.2, T-38.3 checked; F-17 and F-23 routed to #108 and
#109.

…the roadmap branch

Brings `feature/retention-publication-recovery` (8 commits, CI green) into
this branch so the M4 tasks that depend on F-18 recovery, the F-19
`ReaderFence` and `FilesystemRetentionSnapshot`, and the F-20 model
evidence can proceed here.

Conflict resolution, all mechanical:
- `DurabilityCrashPoint` keeps both boundary sets in identifier order
  (`ALL` is 73 entries, `KEEP-CRASH-001`–`073`); `DurabilityCrashSequence`
  gains `Retention` beside `Migration`; both `sequence()` arms, both
  restart dispatch arms, and both production-protocol arms are kept; the
  point contract table lists 036–052 then 053–073; the canonical matrix is
  224 cases (`cargo xtask durability-crash-matrix` passes in under fifteen
  seconds).
- `filesystem_exact_record::open_read` takes PR #99's `pub(super)`
  visibility beside this branch's `open_regular` and
  `read_bounded_optional`.
- `FilesystemStoreMigrationAuthority::open_unchecked_for_repository_tasks`
  takes PR #99's definition; this branch's duplicate is removed.
- README, CHANGELOG, and the v2 README carry both sets of claims; the gap
  table drops the rows both branches closed.
- `retention_store_v2_protocol_contract` no longer requires a
  "Planned in #19" ledger row, since none remains.

ROADMAP: T-18.1, T-18.2, T-19.1, T-20.1 checked; F-19 and F-20 Done on this
branch; F-18 Partial pending T-18.3 and orphan disposition.

P1 src/adapters/retention/recovery_stage_assessment.rs:53–61; recovery_planner.rs root truncation branch Public assess_root_stage(Some(b"invalid")) reports Truncated; plan_retention_recovery with no current state, other stages absent and both pools absent returns a successful discard plan instead of StageCorrupt for Root Verify available canonical-prefix constraints before authorizing discard, retain corrupt evidence, preserve exact typed refusal, and test all three stage boundaries and valid prefixes

RED ran in an isolated Docker clone of the exact head, using a dedicated target directory. cargo test --test retention_short_stage_probe compiled successfully and executed one public API regression. It failed with the intended assertion: "noncanonical short root bytes authorized evidence deletion". This is not a setup failure. The probe changes only the isolated validation clone; no production fix, GREEN, release validation or permanent committed regression is claimed yet.

Discovery retrieved all 37 review threads; the outer connection and every nested comment connection report hasNextPage=false. Existing feedback is being deduplicated and verified, not assumed correct. Independent agy ULTRA STRICT review is running against this exact head. Live GitHub also reports CONFLICTING against current main; older green CI does not establish main integration. No thread has been resolved and no merge is authorized until the source fixes, integration, independent approval and current-head checks pass. Cc @codex.

Code Lawyer: independently reproduced the direct-recovery directory-replacement finding at exact head c9277ea.

Severity Path Concrete verified scenario Acceptance check
P1 src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:131–150 After authority opens, write a valid 100-byte root.next prefix, rename retention to retention.previous and create replacement retention/roots/manifests. Direct recover() returns a successful receipt and deletes the prefix through its retained old directory handles, although ordinary publication has a pinned-directory identity guard Direct recover must return Observe carrying exact ProtocolDirectoryReplaced before any stage mutation; archived root.next bytes must remain identical

RED: the isolated Docker clone compiled and executed one unit regression, direct_recovery_never_mutates_a_replaced_protocol_directory. It failed at the intended refusal assertion: "direct recovery mutated an unreachable replaced directory". This is not a setup failure. The regression uses actual rename/create operations without sleeps or forged admission flags. Existing fixture setup uses the repository's unchecked test admission; this law checks post-admission capability binding and does not claim production platform admission.

The relevant existing thread is PRRT_kwDOTdinZc6g09qo. Its concern remains unresolved. The independent review is still running; remediation and permanent regressions will follow the complete feedback. No GREEN or merge readiness is claimed. Cc @codex.

Independent Adversarial Code Review: PR #99 (feature/retention-publication-recovery @ c9277ead)

Target: main (82374a995df095106aefe52f87ab3cb26184639d)
Current Merge Base: f49cff732cf7a6e1b472decba9e4c4130990559e
PR Head: c9277eadbcb22a5ba1330760a3b908178957d4e5
Review Mode: Read-Only Static Inspection Pass (No container/Docker or host test execution executed per repository execution protocol)


Executive Summary

PR #99 attempts to deliver checklist item 6 of PR #78: restart recovery for retention publication, reader fencing, and model-based transition evidence (KEEP-RETENTION-007, KEEP-RETENTION-008, KEEP-RETENTION-010).

However, static inspection of the diff against merge base f49cff7 and semantic reconciliation against target main (82374a9) reveal multiple critical correctness, durability, format-admission, and recovery defects, alongside severe merge conflicts and semantic regressions against main. Most notably:

  1. Silent destruction of corrupt data: Short non-canonical garbage stages (< 192 bytes for root, < 160 bytes for manifest) are misclassified as Truncated before checking magic bytes and discarded, silently erasing corrupt evidence.
  2. Reversion of target main's restart-stability fix (PR #137 / b3bd395): PR Retention recovery, crash-matrix evidence, reader fence, and model-based transitions (item 6) #99 re-introduces the volatile Mount identity check during FilesystemVersionTwoAdmission::require_root_identity, breaking store reopening across host reboots or remounts.
  3. Missing sync_all on recovered stage publication: Reopened stages are linked into immutable pools and finalized without file data synchronization (sync_all), risking data loss upon subsequent power loss.
  4. Premature mutation before namespace admission: Storage recovery executes stage deletion, linking, and head replacement before admitting the store namespace, mutating the filesystem on corrupt or alien stores.
  5. Dead public error variant: FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::Catalog is never constructed because CatalogRestartError is flattened into io::Error and surfaced as Error::View.
  6. Inode-substitution vulnerability in recovery observation: pool_entry checks only byte equality, permitting FinalizeHead to commit before subsequent stage removal fails on an inode mismatch.
  7. Semantic conflicts with target main: Target main merged migration recovery (PR #138) introducing KEEP-CRASH-053..073 and modifying DurabilityCrashPoint::ALL and src/adapters/filesystem_exact_record.rs. PR Retention recovery, crash-matrix evidence, reader fence, and model-based transitions (item 6) #99's positional crash-point arithmetic (index.checked_sub(35)) and code changes result in 10 merge conflicts and broken crash runner indexing.

Findings (P0–P5)

[P0] Corrupt Stage Garbage Discarded as Truncated Due to Pre-Magic Length Truncation Check

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/recovery_stage_assessment.rs:56-60, src/adapters/retention/root_header_decoder.rs:37, src/adapters/retention/manifest_header_decoder.rs:24, src/adapters/retention/recovery_planner.rs:37-67
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: An adversarial or corrupted stage containing 7 arbitrary bytes (e.g. b"invalid") is left in retention/root.next. AdmittedRetentionRoot::decode calls root_header_decoder::decode, which executes require_minimum(encoded, 192). Because encoded.len() < 192, it returns RetentionRootDecodeError::Truncated without inspecting magic bytes (KEEP:RET:ROOT2\0\0) or header structure. assess_root_stage wraps this as RetentionStageAssessment::Truncated. plan_retention_recovery observes that no later stages or pool links exist and schedules Step::DiscardRootStage. Execution deletes retention/root.next, silently destroying corrupt evidence rather than refusing with RetentionRecoveryRefusal::StageCorrupt.
  • Evidence: recovery_stage_assessment.rs:56-58:
    Some(Err(RetentionRootDecodeError::Truncated { expected, observed })) => {
        RetentionStageAssessment::Truncated { expected, observed }
    }
    And root_field_decoder.rs:28-30:
    if encoded.len() < expected {
        Err(RetentionRootDecodeError::Truncated { expected, observed: encoded.len() })
    }
  • Suggested Fix: Before classifying an under-length stage as Truncated, verify that available bytes match the prefix of a canonical stage (specifically matching the initial magic bytes KEEP:RET:ROOT2\0\0 for root, KEEP:RET:LIVE2\0\0 for manifest, and KEEP:RET:HEAD2\0\0 for head). Reject any byte sequence not prefix-compatible with a canonical record as Corrupt.

[P1] Recovered Stages Linked and Finalized Without sync_all on File Descriptors

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:225-227, 241-243, src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_stage.rs:45-55
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: Writer crashes immediately after writing root.next or manifest.next (write_root_stage or write_manifest_stage) but before synchronize_*_stage executes sync_all(). At restart, FilesystemRetentionStage::reopen opens the file read-only via open_read. Recovery runs link_root / link_manifest, which hard-links the reopened stage into the pool and synchronizes only the directory (synchronize_directory). Because file.sync_all() is never executed on the recovered stage file descriptor, the underlying file data blocks may still reside exclusively in volatile page cache. If physical power loss occurs shortly after recovery, directory entries survive but file contents are corrupt or zeroed on restart.
  • Evidence: In filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:225-226:
    stage.link(&self.retention, &directory, name)?;
    synchronize_directory(&directory)
    FilesystemRetentionStage::synchronize (stage.synchronize(&self.retention)) is never called by any recovery step.
  • Suggested Fix: In FilesystemRetentionStage::reopen or before executing link / replace during recovery, reopen with sync capability or issue sync_all() on the recovered stage descriptor prior to directory synchronization.

[P1] Storage Recovery Mutates Filesystem Before Namespace Admission

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_storage.rs:32, 48-50, src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:127-143
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: A store contains an unadmitted, corrupt file inside retention/ (e.g. retention/foreign.dat or an uncanonical pool name) AND a truncated or staged file. When publication begins, verify_current invokes self.recover() at line 32. recover() reads stages, plans recovery, and executes mutations (deleting truncated stages, linking orphan roots, or finalizing head). Only at line 48 does filesystem_retention_namespace::admit run and refuse the store. The invalid store was mutated before being admitted. Furthermore, the public FilesystemRetentionPublicationAuthority::recover() entry point never calls filesystem_retention_namespace::admit at all.
  • Evidence: filesystem_retention_storage.rs:32-50:
    let recovery = self.recover().map_err(...)?;
    ...
    let census = filesystem_retention_namespace::admit(&self.retention, &self.roots, &self.manifests)?;
  • Suggested Fix: Admit the retention namespace prior to executing recovery mutations in verify_current, and enforce namespace admission within FilesystemRetentionPublicationAuthority::recover.

[P1] Unpinned Reopened Directory Bypass in Reader Snapshot Loading

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:73-74, 96-105
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: FilesystemRetentionSnapshot::load opens store_root via Dir::open_ambient_dir, verifies version-two namespace and records, and acquires ReaderFence. In Source::load (line 73), it calls FilesystemCatalogSnapshot::load(&self.store_root, self.policy). FilesystemCatalogSnapshot::load re-resolves store_root by path using ambient authority rather than reading through the pinned Dir capability (self.root). If store_root has been renamed or replaced concurrently, the catalog is loaded from the replacement path while retention coordinates are read from the pinned directory, returning a spliced/hybrid snapshot. Furthermore, filesystem_version_two_records::admit(&root) returns _bound at line 100, but _bound is discarded without calling require_root_identity, allowing a reader to open a relocated or restored store whose migration record belongs to another root.
  • Evidence: filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:73:
    let catalog = FilesystemCatalogSnapshot::load(&self.store_root, self.policy)
    And filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:100-101:
    let _bound = filesystem_version_two_records::admit(&root)
        .map_err(|source| Error::Admission { source })?;
  • Suggested Fix: Pass the pinned root: &Dir capability to the catalog loader or verify that reopened store_root matches self.root by device and inode. Enforce require_root_identity during reader admission.

[P1] Dead / Unreachable Public Error Variant FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::Catalog

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:73-74, 120, src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_snapshot_error.rs:29-33
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: FilesystemRetentionSnapshot::load docstring promises:
    "Returns FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError at the exact admission, fence, collection, or catalog refusal."
    However, in Source::load (filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:74), CatalogRestartError is flattened into io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::InvalidData, source). collect_retention_view wraps any error from source.load() into RetentionViewError::Io. At line 120, this is converted to FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::View { source: RetentionViewError::Io(..) }. The documented public variant FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::Catalog { source: CatalogRestartError } is dead code and never returned. Callers attempting to match Error::Catalog cannot distinguish catalog admission failure from coordinate read failures.
  • Evidence: filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:73-74:
    let catalog = FilesystemCatalogSnapshot::load(&self.store_root, self.policy)
        .map_err(|source| io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::InvalidData, source))?;
  • Suggested Fix: Introduce an associated error on RetentionViewSource or preserve CatalogRestartError on Source and reconstruct FilesystemRetentionSnapshotError::Catalog at line 120.

[P1] Inode-Substitution Vulnerability in Recovery Observation Causing Mid-Execution Failure


[P1] Incomplete Coordinate Cross-Check in finalize_head

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/recovery_planner.rs:124-141
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: finalize_head compares head.manifest_digest() == manifest.digest() and head.generation() == manifest.generation(). However, RetentionHead also contains manifest_length and predecessor. If head.next contains an altered manifest_length or wrong predecessor, finalize_head admits it and finalizes it as retention/HEAD. Subsequently, normal current-state observation (filesystem_retention_current::observe) reads HEAD and fails with HeadPredecessorDisagreed or RecordLengthOverflow / ManifestAbsent, leaving the store permanently unpublishable.
  • Evidence: recovery_planner.rs:124-129:
    let head = head.head();
    if head.manifest_digest() != manifest.digest()
        || head.generation() != manifest.manifest().generation()
    {
        return Err(Refusal::HeadStageNamesOtherManifest);
    }
  • Suggested Fix: Validate head.manifest_length().get() == manifest.encoded().len() and head.predecessor() == manifest.manifest().predecessor() before planning FinalizeHead.

[P1] Unchecked Successor Manifest Entry Set in plan_manifest

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/recovery_planner.rs:177-185, 246-259
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: In forward publication, successor_manifest::build preserves all existing namespace entries from current.manifest(). In recovery_planner.rs, manifest_succeeds checks only predecessor == current.head().manifest_digest() and generation == current.head().generation() + 1, and manifest_names_root checks only that the manifest contains the candidate root. If a staged manifest.next dropped other namespaces or altered their root anchors, recovery admits it as a valid successor and links/finalizes it, silently destroying anchors for unrelated namespaces.
  • Evidence: recovery_planner.rs:246-259: No entry-level comparison against current.manifest().entries() is performed.
  • Suggested Fix: Reconstruct the expected successor manifest from current.manifest() and candidate root (matching successor_manifest::build) and assert that manifest.encoded() == expected.encoded().

[P2] Untruthful Refusal Variant in Recovery Planner When Manifest Exists But Root Missing

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/recovery_planner.rs:93
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: When (Some(head), Some(manifest), None) is encountered (both head.next and manifest.next exist, but root.next is absent), the match arm (Some(_), _, _) => Err(Refusal::HeadStageWithoutManifestStage) triggers. Recovery returns HeadStageWithoutManifestStage with the display message "head.next exists without a complete manifest.next", which is objectively false because manifest.next is present.
  • Evidence: recovery_planner.rs:82-94:
    match (head, manifest, root) {
        (Some(head), Some(manifest), Some(root)) => finalize_head(...),
        (Some(_), _, _) => Err(Refusal::HeadStageWithoutManifestStage),
  • Suggested Fix: Split the match arm to return Refusal::ManifestStageWithoutRootStage when head and manifest are Some but root is None.

[P2] Swallowed Error Boundary for Recovery Observation in verify_current

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_storage.rs:33
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: In verify_current, FilesystemRetentionRecoveryError::Plan is mapped to RetentionCurrentStateRefusal::RecoveryRefused, and Execute is mapped to RetentionCurrentStateRefusal::RecoveryStepRefused. However, FilesystemRetentionRecoveryError::Observe { source } is mapped directly to source (io::Error). This strips the typed recovery refusal boundary, causing observation errors to surface as raw, unclassified I/O failures.
  • Evidence: filesystem_retention_storage.rs:33:
    FilesystemRetentionRecoveryError::Observe { source } => source,
  • Suggested Fix: Add RecoveryObservationRefused { source: io::Error } to RetentionCurrentStateRefusal and wrap Observe { source }.

[P2] Doc Claim Contradiction in RetentionViewCoordinates

  • Location: src/adapters/retention/retention_view_collector.rs:16-21, 86-88
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: The docstring for collect_retention_view claims:
    "A generation, length, digest, or checksum change discards the view and retries until limit is exhausted..."
    However, RetentionViewCoordinates contains only (CatalogGeneration, CatalogDigest) and (LivenessGeneration, RetentionManifestDigest). Neither catalog_length, manifest_length, nor checksums are included in coordinates. If a head is updated with the same generation and digest but different length, before == after evaluates to true, violating the documented contract.
  • Evidence: retention_view_collector.rs:16-21:
    pub struct RetentionViewCoordinates {
        pub catalog: Option<(CatalogGeneration, CatalogDigest)>,
        pub retention: Option<(LivenessGeneration, RetentionManifestDigest)>,
    }
  • Suggested Fix: Either include length and predecessor in RetentionViewCoordinates or compare the raw 144-byte / publication head bytes directly.

[P2] Leaked Crate-Private Type in Public Crate Surface

  • Location: src/lib.rs:141, src/adapters/retention.rs:154, src/adapters/retention/reader_fence.rs:21
  • Concrete Failure Scenario: ReaderFence is re-exported at keep::ReaderFence. However, ReaderFence has a private field _file: File and only defines pub(super) fn acquire. It exposes zero public methods and is not accepted or returned by any public API. This violates AGENTS.md rule: "Everything is private by default. Use pub(crate) unless external consumers require more."
  • Suggested Fix: Make ReaderFence re-export pub(crate) in retention.rs and remove it from src/lib.rs.

[P2] Weak Error Assertions in Test Suites Violating AGENTS.md


[P3] Documentation Structure and Line Count Violations

  • Location:
    • Review threshold: 300 lines max per file (AGENTS.md).
      • src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_current.rs: 312 lines
      • src/adapters/retention/filesystem_retention_test_fixture.rs: 311 lines
      • src/adapters/retention/recovery_planner_tests.rs: 357 lines
      • src/adapters/retention/retention_model_tests.rs: 364 lines
    • Misplaced docstring: src/adapters/filesystem_version_two_admission.rs:66: "Releases the writer lock and the three pinned retention capabilities." is placed above reopen_unchecked_for_repository_tasks instead of into_parts.
    • Duplicate methods: reopen_unchecked_for_tests and reopen_unchecked_for_repository_tasks in filesystem_version_two_admission.rs have identical bodies.
  • Suggested Fix: Split files exceeding 300 lines by semantic ownership, consolidate duplicate admission methods, and restore misplaced docstrings.

Semantic Compatibility Assessment with Main Commits:

  1. Source Policy (PR #140 / PR #145): PR fix(policy): enforce forbidden Rust source filenames #145 enforces 9 prohibited filenames in xtask. PR Retention recovery, crash-matrix evidence, reader fence, and model-based transitions (item 6) #99 introduces no forbidden filenames.
  2. Memory Evidence (PR #135): PR Test: enforce reference staging memory contracts #135 bounded reference staging memory. Independent of PR Retention recovery, crash-matrix evidence, reader fence, and model-based transitions (item 6) #99's retention scope.
  3. Platform/Restart Invariants (PR #137): INCOMPATIBLE. PR Fix: compare restart-stable root coordinates on v2 reopen #137 established that Mount ID coordinate cannot be verified on restart. PR Retention recovery, crash-matrix evidence, reader fence, and model-based transitions (item 6) #99 reverts this invariant in src/adapters/filesystem_version_two_admission.rs:139-142.
  4. Migration Recovery (PR #138): INCOMPATIBLE. PR Recover interrupted store migrations with production crash evidence #138 introduced KEEP-CRASH-053..073. PR Retention recovery, crash-matrix evidence, reader fence, and model-based transitions (item 6) #99's crash matrix calculation in xtask/src/durability_crash_matrix/restart/retention.rs:96-97 computes crash phase using index.checked_sub(35) on DurabilityCrashPoint::ALL, which is corrupted when migration points are present. Furthermore, PR Recover interrupted store migrations with production crash evidence #138 added open_regular to src/adapters/filesystem_exact_record.rs, conflicting with PR Retention recovery, crash-matrix evidence, reader fence, and model-based transitions (item 6) #99's visibility change on open_read.

Execution and Environment Disclosure

  • Checks Executed: Static code inspection, AST verification, and git tree/diff/merge-tree simulation.
  • Checks Inspected Only: All Rust source files in src/adapters/retention/, xtask/src/durability_crash_matrix/, tests/, and documentation files.
  • Checks Skipped / Unavailable: Native host test execution and Docker container test execution were not executed per instructions and repository container restrictions.
  • Execution Gap Notice: Static inspection cannot replace real container crash matrix validation, physical power-loss injection, or concurrency stress under file-system racing. Green CI on PR head c9277ea does not establish absence of regressions against target main (82374a9).

Final Verdict

REQUEST CHANGES

PR #99 cannot be approved in its current state. The branch must be rebased onto main (82374a9), resolving the 10 merge conflicts, fixing the pre-magic truncation assessment, eliminating the reverted Mount check, ensuring recovered stage fsync durability, preserving the Error::Catalog error boundary, and addressing all P0–P2 findings detailed above before independent verification can be satisfied.

Primary reconciliation of the full independent agy feedback, before remediation:

  • REQUEST CHANGES is accepted. Both arbitrary short-stage discard and missing direct-recovery directory binding have independent Docker RED evidence. The directory-replacement law also fails in release at the same intended assertion. Other findings remain queued for code verification and targeted RED evidence.
  • The short-stage finding is P1 under our severity definitions: corrupt recovery evidence can be silently deleted. The reviewer labels it P0; that label does not establish broader catastrophic data-loss scope. Checking magic alone would be insufficient wherever other available canonical fields contradict the protocol.
  • We will preserve history with an ordinary merge of main, not the reviewer's suggested rebase. Rebase/amend/force operations are prohibited by the active Code Lawyer workflow.
  • The branch's old Mount comparison is inherited from its fork. The main preview auto-merges filesystem_version_two_admission.rs; stale branch source is not proof that a resolved merge reintroduces Mount. The actual integration must preserve PR Fix: compare restart-stable root coordinates on v2 reopen #137's restart-stable device/file rule and live migration's three-coordinate checks.
  • Migration points and retention points must coexist with their semantic identities. Positional arithmetic is a risk to audit against the resolved ALL ordering; the unresolved merge itself is not verified execution of a broken index. Preserve main's extra migration initialization cases and derive the final executable case count from the integrated runner before making a numeric claim.
  • AGENTS.md's 300-line threshold requires review; its hard maximum is 500. We will not invent a 300-line maximum or split solely to satisfy that inaccurate reviewer wording. Semantic ownership, logical function size and actual hard limits remain binding.
  • A broad Err match can mask the wrong typed refusal; it cannot itself catch a panic. Test fixes will assert the actual error boundary and source rather than treating the reviewer's broader phrasing as proven.
  • The independent pass is static, with no container execution. It is not a clean merge gate and does not supersede remaining review-thread concerns. Full validation and a fresh independent review of the corrected, integrated head are required before merge.

No review thread is resolved, no finding is silently discarded and no acceptance criterion is waived. Cc @codex.

Impossible partial anchor ordering discarded P1 Open prefix finding g09p5 root_anchor_order_prefix.rs and domain layout-length bound RED 575e742, fix b941d58 Public assessment and real filesystem RED on aec721f; debug/release GREEN; generated ordered/decisive-prefix sweeps; codec and canonical-prefix controls; crash matrix; four product mutations killed; both Clippy configurations, structure, formatting and Markdown pass Greatest canonical completion now proves ordering possibility before discard; impossible prefixes refuse with exact anchor index and preserved evidence

Receipt: docs/testing-evidence/retention-partial-anchor-order.md. A fresh committed archive passes formatting and matches the validated src, tests and xtask/src. The completion witness is never returned as observed state; complete-anchor decoding retains its existing parser and ordering check.

The g09p5 finding remains open for future-entry feasibility and partial header constraints. Incomplete-stage pinning and post-removal failure semantics remain separate blockers. Current-head hosted CI and a fresh independent agy review remain required. MERGE GATE: LOCKED.

Code Lawyer Activity Summary

Change kind: bug fix. This is another partial correction for the open P1 prefix-admission finding PRRT_kwDOTdinZc6g09p5; it does not resolve that entire finding.

Item Severity / source Files Commits Validation Outcome
Preserve impossible initial predecessor prefixes P1 / existing PR finding stage_history_admission.rs, stage_prefix_admission.rs, filesystem_retention_partial_history_tests.rs RED a0a8133 on unfixed b941d58; GREEN 821c60d Real filesystem recovery returns the exact stage/cause and preserves retained bytes at every nonempty strict predecessor prefix for roots, manifests and heads. Successor-prefix controls remain admissible. Fixed within this scope
Remaining prefix feasibility and recovery findings P1 / existing findings Partial numeric headers, remaining-entry feasibility, incomplete-stage pinning, failure handling after removal Unchanged Not established by this evidence Open; merge gate locked

The regression was observed RED when an initial root with a nonzero partial predecessor returned clean recovery after discarding the stage. The fix checks available predecessor bytes only for initial generations and preserves complete-field semantic diagnostics.

Passed in copied Docker source: focused history laws and canonical-prefix controls in debug and release; retention process-death matrix; workspace/all-target Clippy with all features and without default features, both with -D warnings; formatting; source-structure check; Markdown lint. A fresh archive of 821c60d passes formatting and its Rust source, integration tests and xtask source match the validated tree. A macOS metadata sidecar in the copied validation tree was preserved outside that tree before the final comparison.

Four inspected product mutations fail their intended checks: wrong diagnostic byte, wrong stage, deletion on refusal and erroneous rejection of valid successor prefixes. An initial diagnostic mutation command changed no formatted source; that invalid calibration was excluded and corrected in a fresh build target.

Receipt: docs/testing-evidence/retention-partial-predecessor.md. This does not claim physical power-loss evidence, full prefix admission, platform admission, performance results or an independent review of the current head. Hosted checks and current-head independent approval remain separate merge gates. No review thread is resolved by this incremental correction.

Bounded landing: one verified source-binding defect within the maintainer's finite capability scope.

Severity Location Failure and evidence Acceptance
P2 filesystem_retention_stage.rs::reopen / recovery context A byte-identical replacement between observation and reopening was silently rebound to a new inode. Regression substitution_before_reopening_refuses_without_rebinding_evidence is RED on dd79a0423d35536e5ee1a1b5f6494e2e25e726b3: “reopening silently rebound observed stage identity”. Carry the observed identity through reopening; precise identity refusal before effects; preserve retained bytes. This detects observed substitution and does not promise isolation against arbitrary concurrent raw namespace mutation.

This closes the already-required observation-to-pre-effect source binding, not a new repository-wide audit. @codex

Bounded landing candidate: 29067f7. Local and pushed heads match; original unpushed work is preserved in history.

Obligation Disposition / evidence
Short-stage deletion and incomplete pinning Decision A implemented in dd79a04: planner refuses before all recovery effects; lower filesystem discard capabilities refuse too. Direct/publication byte witnesses, precise corruption, maximum-namespace/future-entry regression, complete-stage success and crash expectations pass. Automatic disposition is explicitly deferred to #155.
Source cleanup / observation identity RED tests in 47013bf and on dd79a04; source guard plus retained handle, observed identity carried through reopening in eb1017b. Exact identity refusals preserve evidence before effects. No raw-mutation isolation claim.
Execution failures / durability eb1017b: finite capability effect inventory, original typed causes, known/uncertain effects, directory durability and fresh observation. Real filesystem effects followed by injected EIO and fresh-authority restart pass. Port-level uncertainty is labeled separately.
Documentation and review queue Single closure ledger, normative contract, API docs, ADR, requirements and PR body reconciled. Historical evidence preserved and superseded claims labeled. 7f0b9e5 removes the obsolete documentation-phrase assertion; its runtime risk is covered by preservation laws.
Distinct assertions One bounded calibration pass caught deletion on refusal, lost corruption priority, missing known effects, false durability, wrong boundary/errno, erased uncertainty and continued cleanup. Compiler failures are not counted as calibration.
Stable local validation Dedicated clean target: debug/release workspace tests, both complete crash campaigns, golden/conformance, structure/fmt, all/minimal checks and Clippy, doctests/docs/MSRV and fuzz target build/lint passed at 7f0b9e5; final delta is ledger-only. Separate Markdown lint passed.
Final acceptance agy independent review running at high, the configured model's highest supported effort (max was rejected before review began), on 29067f7. All hosted checks required on this exact pushed head, including full documentation/workflow tools, runtime fuzz and dependency checks unavailable/unrun locally. Earlier heads' green checks do not transfer.

An earlier shared Cargo target reused a mutation binary; that run is explicitly excluded. The dedicated clean-target run is the acceptance evidence. Neither injected EIO nor process death is physical power-loss proof.

Complete closure ledger and capability inventory.

No merge will occur without the retained human approval requirement.

Exact-head landing acceptance

Candidate: 29067f7, both local and pushed. Worktree clean; GitHub verifies the commit signature.

Obligation Final disposition
Incomplete-stage preservation / obsolete discard and pinning claims Closed under decision A. Planner and lower filesystem capabilities refuse without disposal. Direct/publication evidence, precise corruption and maximum-namespace/future-entry regression pass. Automatic disposition and stronger completion admission remain explicitly deferred to #155. Both formerly open threads have evidence-backed scope-resolution replies.
Source-stage binding Closed by retained source verification and observed-identity binding through reopening. RED regressions precede fixes; current filesystem laws pass. Decision B's raw namespace concurrency exclusion is explicit.
Execution effects and durability Closed under C. Typed original causes, exact boundaries, known/uncertain effects and durability, stop-on-error and fresh restart are validated. Verified pool evidence survives cleanup; removed stage pathnames are not promised to survive.
Documentation / full review queue Normative contract, public API, requirements, ADR, PR body and historical scope notices agree. All original threads, review bodies and global findings map to the single ledger. The refreshed paginated queue has no unresolved inline threads or new substantive findings.
Final required CI GREEN on this exact SHA: Rust quality, documentation/workflow integrity, runtime fuzz smoke, dependency policy/audits. CodeRabbit status is also successful; it does not replace the requested agy review.
Exact-head independent agy review BLOCKED, no verdict. The configured gemini-3.8-flash model rejected max before reviewing; the retry used high, its highest supported effort. That read-only review terminated with HTTP 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED: individual quota reached, reporting reset in approximately 18h47m. Error identity: 8dae87e3-ab14-4b58-9242-f69f52714395-113. No APPROVE or verification checklist was returned.

Remaining blocker: obtain the required complete independent review on the unchanged exact head after agy quota becomes available. The smallest next action is to rerun the prepared read-only review prompt at supported effort; assess only approved-contract violations, then record its checklist/verdict. No additional implementation or speculative hardening is underway.

Not READY FOR MERGE. Human merge approval remains required after independent acceptance. No merge was attempted.

Code Lawyer — primary review of 29067f7

Reviewed exact head 29067f7 against main 379b241, under the maintainer's bounded decisions A/B/C. Latest maintainer instruction authorizes Code Lawyer plus a separate Codex review as the replacement for unavailable agy/CodeRabbit review, and authorizes merge if satisfactory. This does not bypass repository protections or manufacture an external bot approval.

Primary verdict: APPROVE under the approved landing scope. No blocking correctness finding. No source changes or additional speculative hardening were introduced during this review. Independent Codex verdict is recorded separately before merge.

Verification checklist

Path / invariant Source and evidence inspected
Both recovery entry points filesystem_retention_recovery_policy.rs:26 and filesystem_retention_storage.rs:26 converge on filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:142; pinned-directory and namespace admission, observation, pure planning, predecessor/live closure admission all precede execution. Publication preserves distinct observation/planning/execution causes.
Incomplete and corrupt evidence recovery_planner.rs:28 checks known corruption, then refuses every incomplete stage before assembling executable effects. filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:213 and adjacent reserved discard capabilities refuse directly. Direct/publication preservation, contradictory-prefix and maximum-namespace/future-entry regressions establish decision A; disposal remains deferred to #155.
Canonical complete recovery Planner head/manifest/root digest, length, predecessor, exact successor and unrelated-entry checks; filesystem_retention_recovery_observation.rs:37 binds pool identity/bytes; selected roots and live closure admission retain bounded verification. Existing complete-prefix and reader/model laws pass.
Source binding Recovery context reopen at filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:53 carries observed identity into filesystem_retention_stage.rs:70; stage guards at 87/98/125/153 retain the opened source and verify named bytes/identity. Both observation-to-reopen and pre-unlink substitution regressions were observed RED, then GREEN.
Namespace effects and durability filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:225–348 and shared stage operations enumerate namespace creation, link, rename and unlink boundaries. Failed namespace calls preserve uncertain effects; successful calls followed by verification/sync errors preserve known effects with honest durability. Original typed causes survive adapters. Existing links are not reported as newly created.
Stop and retry recovery_execution.rs:98 immediately returns the first failure and separates earlier successful capabilities from failing-capability progress; filesystem recovery clears context after execution. Tests reopen writer authority and recover from actual post-effect state.
Reader integration filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:122 validates migration root binding, retains the shared fence, and loads via pinned root capabilities. retention_view_collector.rs:99 compares complete coordinates; catalog-specific errors become visible only for stable coordinates. reader_fence.rs:35–72 verifies identity around lock acquisition. Exact root/checksum, movement, contention and model laws remain intact.
Crash evidence Production retention crash execution and restart modules check actual store state and independently loaded head/root bytes. Incomplete writes preserve inventory/bytes and refuse retry. xtask/tests/retention_recovery_sync.rs inspects successful file fsync before publication. Case-count assertions are not treated as storage evidence.
Partial validators and shared codec changes Existing field/framing/history/body/integrity diagnostics remain bounded, checked and fail-closed. Shared admissions preserve complete decoder rules; they do not prove every partial record can complete. Fuzz target calls the stage assessors. No new wire format or dependency.
Merges 7e8f00c retains migration and retention sequence routing, restart-stable identity and consolidated constructor semantics; 813df95 imports the binding testing/enforcement standards; 47d7f07 retains readiness sender-exit behavior. Current combined source and both full crash campaigns validate these integrations.
Documentation / claims Normative recovery page, ADR, requirements, public error documentation, PR description and closure ledger agree with A/B/C. Historical discard evidence is explicitly superseded. Policy limits are not measurements; process death/injected EIO are not physical power-loss proof; handles are not inode-conditional unlink/rename.

Queue and validation

Refreshed paginated inventory: 40 threads, 76 review records, 140 top-level comments. All thread and nested comment pages were exhausted. No unresolved inline threads or new substantive external findings remain. Original global/inline obligations and duplicates map to the landing ledger; resolution flags were not used as correctness evidence. The old formal CodeRabbit change requests concern now-addressed findings, not an approval of the current head.

Inspected existing RED/GREEN logs, distinct-assertion calibration and dedicated-clean-target validation. The shared-target mutant-binary run and an initial compiler-failing mutant remain excluded. No redundant broad campaign was rerun during this read-only review.

Exact-head hosted run 37047326095 is successful: Rust quality (including debug/release, both crash campaigns, conformance, fmt/Clippy/MSRV/docs), documentation/workflow integrity, runtime fuzz smoke, and dependency policy/audits. Local ARM documentation-tool absence was covered by the successful hosted documentation gate. CodeRabbit's green status is not approval; its requested review was skipped due file limits.

Nonblocking scope note: reader selected-root ExactRecordRefusal is rendered as text inside its I/O wrapper. This does not weaken refusal or the resolved checksum/catalog error obligations, and is outside decision C's finite recovery-execution inventory. It is not evidence of lost recovery effects and does not reopen this landing into a reader-diagnostic redesign.

The final merge gate additionally requires the independent Codex exact-head checklist/verdict, live unchanged head/base, green checks, and repository merge rules. Maintainer merge authorization is already explicit.

Independent Codex review completed for 29067f7, against main 379b241.

No verified actionable finding against the approved A/B/C landing contract. This approval comes from independent source and evidence review; green CI alone does not supply it.

Verification Checklist

Paths below are relative to the repository; retention filenames are under src/adapters/retention/.

Area Traced production paths and conclusion
Direct/publication parity filesystem_retention_recovery_policy.rs:26 → filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:142; publication filesystem_retention_storage.rs:26–41 enters that same recovery path. Both receive pinned-directory admission, namespace census, observation, planning, predecessor/live-closure admission, and execution in the same order. Publication preserves separate observation/planning/execution sources.
Pre-effect admission filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:146–168 → filesystem_retention_storage.rs:263, filesystem_retention_namespace.rs:65, and filesystem_retention_recovery_observation.rs:37. Directory replacement, invalid namespace entries and observed pool substitution refuse before execution.
Incomplete stages and corruption recovery_stage_assessment.rs:52–107 → partial validators → recovery_planner.rs:32–78. Known stage corruption retains priority. Every truncated stage refuses before a plan can execute earlier complete-stage effects. Filesystem discard capabilities at filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:205–223 unconditionally refuse, preventing a lower-level bypass. No completion-feasibility proof or automatic disposal is claimed.
Complete-stage history recovery_planner.rs:121–172, 175–244, and 247–308 verify head length/digest/generation/predecessor, root succession, pool identity and committed cleanup. Both successor paths call recovery_manifest_entries.rs:10, which compares all unrelated ordered entries.
Predecessor/live closure parity Recovery filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:161–168 → filesystem_retention_recovery_roots.rs:18 → current-state verification; forward publication filesystem_retention_storage.rs:69–88 uses the same predecessor/committed verifiers. Recovery closure admission at filesystem_retention_closure_admission.rs:14 and forward catalog admission at filesystem_retention_catalog.rs:52–65 share verify at closure-admission line 25. Forward publication additionally checks the prepared catalog coordinates, as required.
Observation-to-execution identity Observation records identity at filesystem_retention_recovery_observation.rs:128–144; reopening carries it through filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:59–64, 77–82, and 98–103 into filesystem_retention_stage.rs:70–83. Later operations check retained-handle identity and exact named bytes at stage lines 173–195. Byte-identical replacement cannot silently redefine the observed identity.
Root/manifest linking Recovery root path filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:225–275, manifest path 278–299, and shared filesystem_retention_stage.rs:86–121: source verification and file synchronization precede publication; successful namespace/link effects survive subsequent verification/sync errors in progress reports. Failed namespace syscalls report uncertainty. Existing links are not misreported as newly created.
Head finalization filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:302–313 → filesystem_retention_stage.rs:153–170. Rename failure reports uncertain replacement; successful rename followed by absence/head verification or directory-sync failure reports known replacement with unconfirmed durability.
Complete cleanup Root filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:316–334 and manifest 337–347 → shared stage removal filesystem_retention_stage.rs:125–149. Source and pool verification precede unlink. Successful unlink remains reported after subsequent failure. The surviving evidence is verified pool content, not the deliberately removed stage pathname.
Error propagation/restart recovery_execution.rs:98–125, retention_storage_error.rs, and retention_storage_progress.rs: first error stops later capabilities; previous completed steps and failing-capability effects remain separate; original causes remain inspectable. Recovery clears execution context at filesystem_retention_recovery.rs:175, requiring another observation and plan.
Shared forward operations Forward linking at filesystem_retention_storage.rs:145–190, head replacement at 215–219, and cleanup at 226–247 use the reviewed shared stage implementation. Forward synchronization remains separate publication phases; recovery synchronizes inside its coarser capabilities. That difference is intentional and does not break direct/publication-triggered recovery parity.
Reader integration filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:122–161 verifies migration-bound root identity, retains the fence and pinned root, and loads through the capability. Lines 69–104 preserve complete catalog coordinates and defer catalog-error delivery until collection agrees. retention_view_collector.rs:99–117 rejects changed coordinates. Selected-root verification at snapshot lines 194–249 checks admitted digest/generation. Fence acquisition verifies identity before and after locking in reader_fence.rs:41–50.
Crash and model oracles xtask/src/durability_crash_matrix/production_protocol/retention_storage.rs:51–76 injects the declared partial writes. Restart retention.rs:40–88, retention_incomplete.rs:18–51, and retention_snapshot.rs:17–49 check exact refusal/preservation or independently read generation and selected bytes. Successor prefix tests now iterate every ordered prefix; model tests compare returned persistent state and exact typed refusals.

Merge integration reviewed against both parents

  • 7e8f00c: inspected shared exact-record changes, version-two admission and migration-bound identity, constructor integration, and combined crash coordinates. Restart checks retain device/inode comparison while excluding volatile mount identity. Shared no-follow/nonblocking record access remains intact. Retention points occupy their intended positions before migration points; migration’s repeated namespace occurrences remain represented.
  • 813df95: compared the imported testing standards/enforcement profile with its main parent and read the resulting binding policy. Landing tests identify change kinds, runtime oracles and deletion criteria. Existing enforcement gaps remain disclosed rather than presented as implemented protections.
  • 47d7f07: compared readiness implementation against the main parent and inspected the final readiness loop. It rechecks queued readiness after observing child exit, preserving the integrated race correction.

Review obligations and evidence

  • Read the full landing ledger, original independent-review findings/reconciliation, outside-diff findings, and refreshed thread inventory. All 40 original thread obligations are represented; current thread pagination and nested comment pagination are complete. Resolution flags were not used as implementation proof.
  • Confirmed baseline inventory figures from the preserved files: 40 threads, 73 review bodies, 133 global comments. These are historical inventory figures, not current totals or runtime measurements.
  • Verified the substantive old CodeRabbit requests against final source, including catalog error routing, exact checksum/errno assertions, phase-derived fixtures, codec-derived length bounds, successor coverage and constructor consolidation. Its old formal CHANGES_REQUESTED records remain an administrative gate for the parent to reconcile transparently.
  • Inspected actual RED output: red.log:12 reports substituted-source deletion; c-red.log:12 reports missing failing-capability effects; observation-parent-red.log:11 reports identity rebinding. These are runtime failures, not compilation failures.
  • Inspected corresponding GREEN laws in c-final-focused.log:90–126,217; its line 265 reports 206 passed. Inspected all eight named calibration logs: their failures exercise preservation, corruption priority, known/uncertain effects, durability, boundary, errno and stop-on-error assertions. The initial compilation failure is excluded.
  • Inspected clean-validation.log command boundaries and results for debug/release workspace suites, crash campaigns, conformance, formatting, Clippy, doctests, documentation, MSRV and fuzz-target builds. Its final documentation-tool refusal is explicitly retained; the separate Markdown log reports success. The cached-mutant validation run is excluded.
  • Verified that the diff from 7f0b9e5 to reviewed HEAD changes only the landing ledger. Inspected the removed static phrase assertion and its documented superseded-policy rationale.

Constants and numeric claims

  • Confirmed 125 model sequences from five first-operation test entry points and two nested five-operation loops.
  • Confirmed successor prefixes 0 through 18 against the phase-derived fixture and independent reader oracle.
  • Confirmed 156 coordinates for points 001–052 and 68 migration coordinates from 21 points plus the five additional namespace-prefix occurrences. These counts describe enumerated campaign coverage, not proof of durability.
  • Checked the 100-byte interrupted-write fixture against its restart expectations: root 192, manifest 160, head 144 required boundaries.
  • Checked format-derived manifest bounds, root namespace/anchor ceilings, three default reader attempts, and the 1 GiB default retained-segment loading policy. These are format/policy bounds, not measured throughput, latency or total-memory guarantees.
  • Historical discard statements are superseded by the leading landing decision and normative recovery contract. They are not evidence of current automatic-disposal behavior.

Execution and limitations

I executed read-only Git/source/evidence inspection, git diff --check, and GitHub status queries. I did not execute Rust builds, tests, benchmarks or another Docker campaign.

I independently verified run 37047326095 is successful for the exact reviewed SHA, with all four required jobs successful. CodeRabbit’s “pass” is a skipped review because of its file limit; agy supplied no approval.

Coverage remains bounded: injected pre-sync EIO and process death do not establish physical power-loss behavior; unsupported arbitrary concurrent pathname mutation is not isolated by the writer lock; automatic incomplete-stage disposition remains deferred to #155. The reader’s separate exact-record stringification at filesystem_retention_snapshot.rs:233–235 is outside the finite C execution-reporting scope and does not reopen the verified checksum/catalog obligations.

The worktree remained clean and HEAD unchanged throughout this review.
