Define deterministic action ordering, secret-safe property reports, and consistent seed replay. Give the Phase 10 roadmap atomic scope and observable completion criteria for the planned dialect.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a property references a named variable or compares two environment values, for_all_actions evaluates against the action taken from result.actions, but this contract replaces its keys with opaque tokens and all values with the same marker. MiniJinja therefore cannot perform the promised semantic comparison—for example, action.env["CC"] becomes inaccessible and two distinct values appear equal—so redaction can change PASS/FAIL/ERROR outcomes despite the following claim. Keep the semantic map available during evaluation and redact only values copied into diagnostics or other external output.

--seed with the exact-replay requirement
When the persisted regression artefact is unavailable, these lines make netsuke test --seed <n> insufficient to replay the failure, while the unchanged functional requirement at lines 322–323 still promises that --seed alone replays a reported failure exactly (and the goal at lines 100–102 still calls this seed-based replay). An implementation cannot satisfy both contracts, so either make the seed independently reproducible or change the CLI/functional requirement to accept and require the reported tuple as well.

Define the byte encoding for deterministic action views.
Reuse RFC 0006 §6.7’s RFC 8785 canonical JSON contract for result.actions, or document a separate encoding with equivalent precision. Define representations for optional fields, scalar values, paths, arrays, and maps. Reference the chosen contract from the roadmap success criterion. RFC 0012 currently defines sort keys and map-key ordering only, so byte-identical views remain ambiguous.

Define one redaction contract for assertions, action views, and replay artefacts.
The RFC requires semantic environment assertions but also redacts the data consumed by those assertions. The roadmap then omits action-view and regression-artefact redaction from its acceptance criterion.

Resolve the conflicting --seed replay contract.
Section 3 permits replay only when persisted tuple inputs are available, but the RFC requirements promise that netsuke test --seed replays a failure exactly. Align these statements with roadmap 10.2.2. Define the result when tuple inputs are absent, and do not call fresh generation replay.

Summary
This branch proposes RFC 0012’s bounded property-testing dialect for generated
build scripts and resolves the verified documentation contracts required before
implementation. It makes action projections deterministic, protects environment
data in result views and regressions, aligns seeded replay, and makes Phase 10
work independently measurable.
Roadmap tasks: 10.1.2–10.3.4.
No ExecPlan is associated with this documentation-only proposal.
