board: arc entries for #1225 and #1226, ternlog debt re-scoped to an ndarray addition - #1229
Conversation
Hygiene-only — no type, plan, deliverable, or epiphany — so per the termination clause it generates no further arc obligations of its own. PR_ARC_INVENTORY gains entries for both merged PRs. #1226's records the two things a future session would actually need the "why" for. First, five review findings arrived AFTER the eight-review council, two of them regressions introduced by fixing the first — the council is not the last gate, it is the first one that reads the whole diff. Second, a third-party docstring agent committed to the branch mid-review; its commit was read, checked against the code, and KEPT, because four of its five edits corrected drift the branch had introduced that same day in its own doc comments. A doc comment is not a behaviour, so nothing in the suite could have caught any of it. Also recorded: a SHA-locked merge is only as strong as the provenance of its SHA. This session put a fabricated full SHA into a merge instruction by extending a short one from `git log --oneline` instead of running `git rev-parse`. The lock would have refused it, which is the only reason it cost nothing. LATEST_STATE gains the merged delta: the new workspace member, the contract's new borrowed-word forms, the full public surface, and the honest scope of the backend claim (the differential suite runs on ONE backend per build — AVX2 in CI, AVX-512 locally; NEON, WASM and scalar are unexercised). TECH_DEBT's ternlog item is stornoed in place rather than closed. Its two stated options are a false choice: both preserve the duplication. Delegating lgj-abi to the crate points a T1 kernel at a T2 evaluator, which is the membrane backwards; scoping the crate to the evaluator leaves both bridges standing and merely stops mentioning one. The resolution is an additive `mask_ternlog_dyn` in `ndarray::simd` — a 256-arm match on a runtime immediate IS backend realization, so it belongs at T0 — with both consumers delegating to it. That is the missing-capability STOP rule read as written: two consumers hand-rolling the same capability is the signal twice over. SUPERSESSION-INDEX regenerated last, after the board writes (the board is an input to the generator). Byte-identical, correctly: these entries cite no D-ids, so no coverage row moves.

This 2026-09-14 merge update is inserted after the 2026-09-07 #1217 section instead of at the top with the other current entries. Since LATEST_STATE.md is the mandatory "what exists" blackboard and its dated updates are read newest-first, a session reading the head of the file sees PR2/PR3 only as branch state and can miss that #1225/#1226 have merged; move this section before the current line 1.

PR #1225 added borrowed and in-place APIs to AlphaMask and WideFieldMask, but it did not change FieldMask's API; the FieldMask implementation still has no borrowed-word or caller-owned/in-place forms. Because this file is the contract inventory, listing FieldMask here directs consumers toward an API that does not exist.

The PR #1225 merge already publicly re-exported LaneRef, MaskOp, Operand, Planes, Pred, Program, Terminal, and MASKED_SUM_I32_MAX_ROWS, and already exposed words_for; PR #1226 added the executor/fuser/reference/value surfaces and MAX_SCRATCH_SLOTS. Labeling the entire list as added by #1226 makes the permanent inventory contradict the adjacent #1225 skeleton record and gives future provenance audits the wrong introducing PR.

The mask-risc test command was added by PR #1225 and is under the workflow's test job, not member-tests; PR #1226 only added the generated-dispatch check beside it. The member-tests job merely includes the crate in cargo build --workspace and does not run its tests, so this append-only arc entry misattributes both the PR and the job maintainers must inspect for test coverage.

Both are mine, both deny the same fact, and neither needed to be written. 1. The ternlog storno justified the ndarray home with "T0 owns backend realization, and a 256-arm match on an immediate IS backend realization", and framed the rejected options as "a T1 kernel depending on a T2 evaluator". A match on a RUNTIME immediate is a monomorphization fan-out — pure Rust, byte-identical on every backend, nothing to do with AVX-512 vs NEON. It is not backend realization by any reading. The tier story dressed a missing export as an architecturally interesting membrane problem, and made the polyfill look like one tier among several. The real argument needs no tiers: ndarray IS the SIMD polyfill, every SIMD-shaped surface a consumer needs lives there, `mask_ternlog` is `<const IMM: i32>`, a const generic instantiates only from a literal, so a consumer holding a runtime immediate has no export to call. Missing export. Already verified against source in lance-graph-java dfbdfcf. 2. The arc entry and the LATEST_STATE delta both called backend coverage a gap in THIS crate — "medium on the backend claim … NEON, WASM and scalar are unexercised". mask-risc has no backends: no `cfg(target_feature)`, no ISA, no fallback chain, with `the_crate_names_no_isa` enforcing it. So executor-vs-oracle equality is backend-independent by construction and per-realization correctness is ndarray's, with ndarray's parity tests. Describing this crate as carrying five realizations to verify is precisely what the polyfill exists to make untrue. Both corrections are appended, not substituted — the wrong text is quoted in the storno that replaces it, so a future session sees the error and the reason rather than a clean surface. Filed rather than silently fixed: the merged `lib.rs` module doc carries the identical "NEON, WASM and scalar are unexercised" framing and needs the same correction in code. It shipped in #1226, so it is its own commit. SUPERSESSION-INDEX regenerated after the board writes.

#1226 (
0b1ebaa, the mask-risc executor) records the two things a future session would actually need the "why" for.Five review findings arrived after the eight-review council, two of them regressions introduced by fixing the first: the scratch-slot ceiling →
executedisagreeing with the oracle because the ceiling fix ran after the capacity check → a truncatingbytes / repsin the probe → validation quadratic in op count (3.06 s at 65,536 ops) → the oracle sizing its bitmap fromscratch_slotsbeforevalidatechecked it (512 MiB, measured). The council is not the last gate; it is the first one that reads the whole diff.A third-party docstring agent committed to the branch mid-review (
2967143, started by someone other than the authoring session). It was read, checked against the code, and kept — not reverted. Four of its five edits were genuine corrections, three of them to drift the branch had introduced that same day:execute's "before any write" became false when the read-before-write bitmap went caller-owned;validate's numbered list went stale once the ceiling check moved to the front;Program::newsaid "from the ops" where the count is over every operand including the terminal's. A follow-up commit restored theO(n_rows)bound it dropped and narrowed an over-general claim it added. A doc comment is not a behaviour, so no test in the suite could have caught any of it.Also recorded: a SHA-locked merge is only as strong as the provenance of its SHA. This session put a fabricated full SHA into a merge instruction — correct 8-character prefix, 33 invented digits — by extending a short SHA from
git log --onelineinstead of runninggit rev-parse. The lock would have refused it, fail-safe against its own operator, which is the only reason it cost nothing.#1225 (
73d3b41) records the contract's masking debt paid in borrowed words, and that the field-mask vs row-mask distinction was preserved deliberately rather than unified.LATEST_STATEThe merged delta: the new workspace member, the contract's new borrowed-word forms, the full public surface, and the honest scope of the backend claim — the differential suite runs on one backend per build (AVX2 in CI, AVX-512 locally); NEON, WASM and scalar are unexercised, and the module doc says so rather than implying five-backend coverage.
