Draft. One branch, one PR, no splitting. Merged by the repository owner when every lane has landed.

Four lanes, integrated here as each completes:

lane what it closes
B1c — runtime capacity witnesses limit families whose bound was asserted rather than established
B2 — typed repository model cargo metadata + a real TOML parser + a real Markdown parser replace the hand readers
the smaller module stamps emit into a module containing only stamps, so rustc holds the field; seal.rs and mint.rs are deleted
B5 — tool policy nextest wired with honest doctest accounting, cargo-mutants aimed at xtask, the disallowed-methods population classified

Together these delete both readers that have been answering questions a stronger reader already owns — the source of sixteen of the open docket's rows.

Lane reports land in the commit bodies. Denominator movement is reported per lane.

Greptile Summary

Merge safety

Safe to merge. The update strengthens capacity enforcement, structured repository qualification, and test-harness policy. The repository qualification check passes on the current tree, while controlled copies missing either an obligation’s positive-control row or its reversal row are rejected.

Confidence Score: 5/5

Safe to merge: no blocking failure remains.

No blocking failure remains. The repository check passed, and exercised malformed-obligation paths were rejected as intended.

Reviews (8): Last reviewed commit: "Name the law that moved the pinned denom..." | Re-trigger Greptile

`NonEmptyBounded::admitted` promised an inhabitant while consuming
`LimitWitness`, which admits a zero selection on purpose. Its const twin
`admitted_const` has taken `PositiveLimit` since the witness split; the runtime
road was the one hole left in that ladder, and a family whose evidence selected a
zero magnitude had an inhabitant-promising road every call of which refuses.

`PositiveLimitWitness<L>` closes it. It contains the `LimitWitness` rather than
restating its magnitude, so the selection and the number this witness reports
have one owner, exactly as `PositiveLimit` contains `AdmittedLimit`. It
establishes the family, a positive capacity, and the admitted runtime maximum,
and it establishes nothing about whether that capacity is semantically
appropriate: the owner profile and the evidence select that, no road can check
it, and the type says so at its claim ceiling.

The population that needed it, derived rather than taken on faith: eight limit
families in the machine bound a seat that promises an inhabitant
(`NonEmptyBounded` / `AdmittedPrefix`) and declare no compile-time magnitude.
Seven are collection-shaped refusal bodies; the eighth is the shred denominator's
participant roster, which is not a refusal body and is easy to miss when the
population is read off the refusal families alone. Each said "a declared finite
bound, evidence-selected" in a doc comment and said it nowhere a road could read.
`EvidenceSelectedLimit` is where that sentence becomes a fact the compiler
carries, and it is the bound on the mint, so a family that never made the
declaration has no road to a runtime capacity.

Three reversals, executed and committed. A capacity naming another family does
not typecheck at a consumer naming its own. A family that never declared the
ladder does not reach the mint. A zero capacity refuses — not at compile time,
because a magnitude that does not exist until runtime has no value a `const`
block could read; where that relation IS visible in the source it already sits in
`PositiveLimit`'s `const` gate, which is the stronger seat and stays there.

Drain candidates this exposes:

- `root.positivity-is-the-stronger-witness` and the new
  `root.a-runtime-capacity-is-witnessed-positive` state one relation on two
  ladders. Neither is a restatement of the other today — one is settled by a
  `const` block and one by a checked road — but if `AdmittedPrefix` ever gains a
  runtime mint that makes both roads reachable for one family, the pair wants
  re-reading.
- The doc-comment sentences on the eight families are now weaker restatements of
  their `EvidenceSelectedLimit` declarations. They were rewritten to cite the
  declaration rather than assert the fact; a later pass could drop the prose.

Found and not repaired, deliberately:

- Every `AdmittedPrefix` mint is bounded on `ConstLimit`, so the seven
  evidence-selected refusal bodies still cannot be built at all — the witness
  they would consume now exists and the coupled package has no road that takes
  it. Adding one would be a road with no caller in a home that has no producer;
  it is named in `src/13_declaration/README.md` instead of closed here.
- The derived-population leg is OWED and is fenced out of this worktree: no
  `cargo xtask check` law derives the population of inhabitant-promising limit
  families from the sources and reads the capacity declaration off each one, so
  no `N witnessed / N declared` denominator prints. One side of that join drifts
  loudly meanwhile — the recorded diagnostic in
  `a-capacity-minted-for-an-undeclared-family.stderr` carries the compiler's own
  roster of the ladder, so a family joining or leaving it fails that fixture.
  That is a drift detector over one side, not a denominator over both, and the
  READMEs and the law say so rather than claiming the universal.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a shared repository snapshot system, parser-backed qualification checks, runtime capacity witnesses, module-scoped privacy boundaries, compile-fail coverage, and scheduled nextest and mutation-testing workflows.

Changes

Qualification and repository facts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repository snapshot and decoders
xtask/src/repository/*, xtask/Cargo.toml, Cargo.toml
Repository files, Rust syntax, Cargo metadata, Markdown records, Git revisions, and explicit read failures are captured in one snapshot.
Snapshot-backed qualification checks
xtask/src/checks/*, xtask/src/main.rs, xtask/src/qualification.rs
Checks now consume parsed snapshot data. Alarm, seat-module, and positivity checks replace the removed mint and seal checks.
Runtime capacity evidence
src/types.rs, src/laws.rs, src/*/types.rs, testpak/tests/compile-fail/*
Evidence-selected limit families and PositiveLimitWitness enforce positive capacity for non-empty construction. Laws and compile-fail fixtures validate family declaration and isolation.
Generated module privacy boundaries
src/02_identity/*, macros/macroc/src/*/type_guard.rs, macros/macroc/src/*/types.rs, testpak/tests/compile-fail/*
Generated guards and refusal bodies move into private modules. Public re-exports remain available while construction and fields stay restricted.
Validation workflows and policy configuration
.config/*, .cargo/*, .github/workflows/*, README.md, clippy.toml, deny*.toml
Nextest and cargo-mutants configurations and workflows validate positive runs and deliberate reversals. Documentation records trigger, dependency, fallback, and capacity policies.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f25f3

The PR replaces repository qualification readers and adds CI test policy, but the current implementation can misclassify declarations, validate the wrong reversal test, and mishandle certain repository inputs. These bounded correctness and merge-gating risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

…assify the fallback population

WHAT REMAINS UNPROVEN, FIRST.

NOTHING COUNTS EITHER NEW SURFACE. `.config/nextest.toml`, `.cargo/mutants.toml`
and the two workflows that call them stand outside both published denominators
and outside the repository-laws roster, so deleting any of them fails no stage
of `cargo xtask qualify` and is caught by review alone. That is the one
admission requirement of the six that neither surface arrives with. The exact
opening condition — a law of the shape
`dependency-gate-artifacts-are-present-and-distinct`, reading these four files
and refusing when one goes, is emptied, or stops departing from the rule it
stands against — is written in `.config/nextest.toml` and cited from
`.cargo/mutants.toml`. It is not written here because the checks it belongs
beside are owned by another branch in flight. And exactly as with the dependency
gate, such a law would establish that the FILES are there and never that a
hosted step still runs them.

THE NEXTEST REVERSAL COVERS LESS THAN THE FILE IT GUARDS. It establishes that
the configuration is read, that a profile in it is applied, that a filterset
written there decides what runs, and that a refusal exits with a diagnostic. It
establishes nothing about `fail-fast`, `retries` or `failure-output`, which
stand on a positive invocation alone. The mutation job's counting guard is
written twice, once per step, and a change made to one and not the other is
caught by review and by nothing else.

THE SURVIVING MUTANTS ARE NOT REPAIRED HERE. They are the finding, they are
evidence debt, and each is owed at the home of the source that carries it. Two
of them are in `xtask/src/qualification.rs`, which this change owns and did not
repair either: a repair is a test, and a test written in the same breath as the
measurement that demanded it is a test aimed at a number.

THREE SEMANTIC SILENT FALLBACK SITES ARE NAMED AND NOT REPAIRED, for the same
reason and because each sits in a file another branch owns. They are written
into `clippy.toml`, beside the record whose opening condition asked for them.

DENOMINATORS, BEFORE AND AFTER, MEASURED ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS DIFF:

    red twins (core)        19 discharged / 178 owed   unchanged
    tooling reversals       18 discharged /   3 owed   unchanged
    repository laws         17                         unchanged
    qualification stages    7                          unchanged

Nothing moves because this diff adds no obligation row and no testpak file — the
two populations both ledgers are drawn from — and because nextest does not enter
the stage table. The `before` figures were taken by stashing this work and
running `cargo xtask check` on the clean checkout.

THE MUTATION RUN, EXECUTED. `cargo mutants --workspace` over the whole declared
`xtask` scope, on a working machine, at two jobs:

    648 mutants in 15 minutes: 226 caught, 49 survived, 0 timed out,
    373 did not build

The scope is the whole of `xtask`, so nothing in the declared scope was skipped.
The machine, the services and the judge are out of scope by decision, written at
the config. Survivors by file: placement 16, vocabulary 9, manifest 7, seal 6,
mint 3, qualification 2, supply_chain 2, walk 1, readme 1, obligations 1,
coupling 1. The shapes repeat: a boolean operator flipped inside a character
classifier, a match arm deleted from a hand-written scanner, a comparison
negated. `referenced_heads` in `xtask/src/checks/placement.rs` alone survives 13
distinct damages — every arm of its brace-and-colon walk can be deleted or
inverted and no test notices.

THE NEXTEST PARITY MEASUREMENT, EXECUTED BEFORE ADOPTION:

    cargo test --locked --workspace          532 harness tests + 3 doctests
    cargo nextest run --locked --workspace   532 harness tests + 0 doctests

The two executed sets were compared name by name and the difference is empty in
both directions. Nothing changed hands and nothing was dropped. The three
doctests are `closed_register`, `CLOSED_REGISTER_ROW_CEILING` and
`identity::scope_guard_version`, and the second of them is the one place the
stamp's authoring profile is written down.

SO NEXTEST SUPPLEMENTS AND DOES NOT REPLACE. The `tests` stage is untouched and
still executes all 535 on both hosts, which is why no doctest coverage is
deleted by anything here. The reason it may not become a stage is the
repository's own, already written in `deny.toml`: a stage needing a separately
installed binary would make the entry bar depend on what a machine happens to
have. The harness job therefore runs a strict SUBSET of the bar — 532 of 535 —
deliberately, with no doctest leg of its own, because a third execution of a
control the bar already runs twice would be one claim seated twice.

THE FALLBACK CLASSIFICATION, the first of the two conditions `clippy.toml`
states for its `disallowed-methods` table. Every call of `Result::unwrap_or_default`,
`Option::unwrap_or_default`, `String::from_utf8_lossy` and `Result::ok` was read
at its own site and placed by elimination against the four kinds. The first kind
— the only defect — has three members, named in `clippy.toml` by file and by
function rather than by line, because a named site can be checked by opening the
file and a number cannot be checked by opening anything:

  - `src/00_refusal/types.rs`, `DeclaredCauseOrder::ordinal_of`
  - `xtask/src/checks/vocabulary.rs`, `check_no_personal_names`
  - `xtask/src/checks/vocabulary.rs`, `check_banned_vocabulary`

The third kind turns out to be EMPTY: no operational host read in this tree is
spelled with any of the four methods. The second condition is untouched, so the
table is still not adopted and `clippy.toml` says why in the same breath.

NO TOTAL WAS WRITTEN INTO `clippy.toml`, per its own argument about counts.

WHAT LANDED.

  .config/nextest.toml          the second harness, its claims, its nonclaims,
                                the measurement above, and the `reversal`
                                profile that proves the file is read
  .cargo/mutants.toml           the mutation scope, `cap_lints`, and a report
                                directory that cannot dirty a checkout
  .github/workflows/harness.yml nextest on every change, plus the planted
                                reversal: exit 100 and `timed out`, both
                                required, both MEASURED
  .github/workflows/mutation.yml  scheduled only, conditioned by a POSITIVE
                                list, survivors printed and never fatal, and a
                                planted empty scope its own guard must refuse
  clippy.toml                   the classification, and why the table still
                                stays out
  deny.toml                     what this file does not reach, now that three
                                jobs install a tool from outside its graph
  deny-reversal.toml            an authored count of its own kind, deleted
  .github/workflows/qualify.yml, dependencies.yml
                                two sentences that counted the trunk's
                                bootstrap triggers, and a third one now exists

FOUND OUTSIDE SCOPE, NAMED AND NOT WIDENED INTO.

`cargo mutants` writes `mutants.out` beside `Cargo.toml` by default, which would
fail the qualification road's closing stage on any working machine that ran it.
The config redirects it into `target`; `.gitignore` was left alone.

`referenced_heads`, `strip_comment`, `quoted_assignment` and `split_identifier_words`
are hand-written character scanners whose survivors say the same thing about
each: their tests exercise the shapes they were written for and not the
classifier underneath. That is a test-shape finding for the homes that own them,
not a defect this diff repairs.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…rs that guessed

Two repository laws — `stamped-guards-seal-their-position` and
`refusal-mints-are-inside-the-plane` — asked, of a whole file at a time, whether
anybody had written a road that hands a sealed value out. Answering that means
resolving types, following aliases, deciding what a receiver stands for, and
inferring reachability from visibility and module chains. Between them they were
wrong twelve times, in twelve Rust shapes, and each repair taught one more shape
while leaving the next open.

The defect was never in the readers. Rust's privacy is MODULE-scoped, so a
private field declared in a home's `types.rs` puts every other item in that file
inside its wall — dozens of types — and the only remaining question is a
whole-file audit. So the wall moved.

WHAT MOVED

`scope_guard_version!` now takes the module as an argument and emits the guard
into it:

    pub struct FrameVersion over ReferenceFrameId, seated in mod frame_version;

    mod frame_version { pub struct FrameVersion(AuthorityPosition<..>); impl .. }
    pub use frame_version::FrameVersion;

Nothing hand-written can enter a module that exists only inside an expansion, so
the complete set of roads out of a stamped guard IS the transcriber, and every
other road is a compiler refusal. All twelve production guards moved — the count
is derived from `grep scope_guard_version!` rather than trusted from a note:
schema, history x2, navigation, port, declaration, execution x2, image x2,
derived, application. The proof surface's demonstration guard moved with them and
is stamped `pub(crate)` rather than bare, because a guard with no visibility at
all would be sealed inside a module nothing can name.

The module name is a call-site argument because `macro_rules!` cannot build an
identifier from another identifier on stable and this repository carries no
dependency that can. REJECTED: a dedicated per-band stamps file. It needs a third
type-owned file in nine homes, which the file grammar does not admit, and it
leaves the FILE rather than the expansion as the wall — hand-written code could
still stand beside a guard, which is the whole defect. The `snake_case` module
name is held by `non_snake_case` under the lint wall, with no attribute
suppressing anything.

The seven closed refusal bodies in the services took the same move, minus the
macro: each is now DECLARED in a `mod seat` inside its home's `type_guard.rs`,
carrying that record and the inherent implementations that reach its seat and
nothing else, and re-exported out. `types.rs` publishes it and can no longer
touch the field. The seven were derived, not trusted: every `pub struct` with at
least one field, no public field, that some `Result`'s error position names —
ProjectionPlanning, CompositionRootDeclaration, ExplanationCoverage,
ProjectionClosureRefusal, TemplateConstruction, TriggerViewComposition,
RefusalDeriveRefusal. The five mints that were module-private became
`pub(super)` out of the seat, which is the same reach spelled one module in.

RETIREMENT TABLE

| New authority | Old mechanism deleted | Old claims moved | Old tests deleted | Residual ceiling |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| rustc: `E0616` on the field, `E0423`/`E0603` on the constructor, over a module the stamp writes whole | `xtask/src/checks/seal.rs`, law `stamped-guards-seal-their-position` (1135 lines) | "no public road of a stamped guard hands its position back out" -> the compiler, for every road outside the expansion. "The seat is read off the stamp's own transcriber" -> deleted: the transcriber IS the module now, so there is nothing left to read it against | 13 | A road added to the TRANSCRIBER arrives on all twelve guards and nothing refuses it — the two laundering fixtures keep their diagnostics byte for byte, as their headers already said. The old law read the transcriber; no law does now. That is a real loss, stated rather than papered over; the repair bar is a one-line edit to `src/02_identity/mod.rs` under review |
| `mod seat` + `seat-modules-carry-nothing-else` (`xtask/src/checks/seat.rs`) | `xtask/src/checks/mint.rs`, law `refusal-mints-are-inside-the-plane` (1392 lines) | "a closed refusal body is minted only from inside the crate" -> `testpak/tests/compile-fail/a-services-refusal-minted-outside-its-plane.rs`, ten roads, `E0624` each, plus the seat module now being small enough to read whole. "The population is derived" -> kept, over `seat` modules rather than over bodies, denominator printed on every run | 19 | The law does not decide WHICH records must be seated: a closed record in a module named anything else is outside its population, and the fixture is what names these seven. It does not read what a road INSIDE a seat module returns — what the move buys is that every such road sits in one small module that cannot grow sideways |

The replacement law is a pure syntax question and cannot be wrong: for every
module named `seat`, exactly one struct, and beyond that only `use` items and
inherent `impl` blocks whose subject is spelled like that struct. It resolves no
type, follows no alias, expands no macro, and reads no visibility. The population
is derived from the tree at any depth; no literal count stands anywhere, in the
check or in its tests.

EXECUTED REVERSALS

Four roads planted in `src/11_navigation/types.rs`, compiled, recorded, removed.
Each is a shape the deleted reader lost to, and each is now a COMPILER refusal:

    error[E0616]: field `0` of struct `FrameVersion` is private
      --> src/11_navigation/types.rs:821:13   pub fn take(v) -> AuthorityPosition
      --> src/11_navigation/types.rs:827:22   -> Box<AuthorityPosition>
      --> src/11_navigation/types.rs:836:13   -> LaunderedPosition (a type alias)
      --> src/11_navigation/types.rs:841:15   impl AsRef<AuthorityPosition> for FrameVersion

The false refusal is gone, executed: a PRIVATE module-local trait whose method
hands back a closed refusal body, implemented for a producer and reached on a
live path in `macros/macroc/src/pattern_stamp/plan.rs`. It compiles clean under
the lint wall and every repository law passes. The deleted reader called every
trait road reachable and stopped a build over a road no outside caller has.

The new law's own reversal, executed: one hand-written `fn` inside the
`trigger_view` seat module.

    seat modules: 6 carrying one record alone / 7 declared
    FAIL seat-modules-carry-nothing-else:
    macros/macroc/src/trigger_view/type_guard.rs: a `seat` module carries a free
    function, and a seat module carries its one record, the imports that record
    names, and inherent implementations of it — nothing else, because everything
    written inside the module is inside the seat's wall

DENOMINATORS, BEFORE -> AFTER

    repository laws          17 -> 16
    red twins (core)         19 discharged / 178 owed -> unchanged
    tooling reversals        18 discharged / 3 owed -> unchanged
    collection bodies        27 coupled / 27 declared -> unchanged
    stamped scope guards     12 sealed / 12 stamped -> denominator retired; 12 still stamped, each in its own module, held by rustc
    refusal mints            17 roads / 7 closed bodies -> denominator retired; 7 bodies, each seated
    seat modules             (none) -> 7 carrying one record alone / 7 declared
    xtask reversal tests     32 deleted (13 seal + 19 mint), 15 added (13 seat + 2 coupling)

FOUND AND REPAIRED IN SCOPE

`collection-bodies-are-coupled` resolved a family's body in the declaring home
and treated every inline module as its own scope, so moving a body into `mod
seat` dropped its population from 27 to 21 and produced six false refusals. A
re-export is what puts a name in the enclosing scope, so `read_module` now reads
a body the enclosing module re-exports out of a child into that scope as well —
purely syntactic, one `use` tree, globs excluded. Two planted controls added.
This is correctness closure of this change, not a widening of it.

`proc-macro2` is removed from `xtask` and from `[workspace.dependencies]`: it
arrived for the seal law's transcriber substitution, and no reading here builds a
token stream any more.

FOUND, NOT REPAIRED

The `a-stamped-representation-cannot-be-laundered` fixture's constructor half
moved from `E0603` (private tuple struct constructor) to `E0423` (cannot
initialize a tuple struct which contains private fields). Same road, same
refusal, a more direct diagnostic — the name is a re-export whose constructor's
field is private, rather than a private path. Recorded in the regenerated
`.stderr`; no claim depended on the code.

`cargo xtask qualify`: all 7 stages green on these bytes.
The repository is read ONCE, into one immutable snapshot, and every law is a
pure function over it. No law walks the tree, opens a file, or starts a
process; no reading has a fallback; and no reader re-derives a fact a stronger
reader already owns.

The defect this ends is oracle inversion. A line reader stood where Cargo's own
decoder belongs: it cut a line at its first `=` and read the head as a package
name, so `threadpak-macroc.workspace = true` named a package that does not
exist. Eleven spellings escaped it across one campaign — dotted keys, quoted
keys, bracketed-string headers, escaped keys, literal strings, multi-line
strings, four-quote terminators, unicode escapes, inline tables, a key carrying
an equals sign, and a comment after a header — and each repair revealed the
next, because a spelling admitted one at a time is a set with no last member.
The same shape stood over Markdown (a fenced block chosen by counting fences),
over Rust (a line scan for an underscore field, a substring scan for a `#[path]`
attribute, three separate parses of the same sources), and over the resolved
dependency graph (manifest text answering a question only cargo can answer).

The technique was applied correctly at each site and never elevated to the
class. This elevates it to the class.

DENOMINATORS, BEFORE AND AFTER — every one unchanged

    red twins (core)        19 discharged / 178 owed      ->  19 / 178

    repository laws         17 registered, 17 PASS        ->  17 / 17

MANIFEST CENSUS: 15 -> 19, and the four that moved are the four this work
admitted. Measured before the change across all seven committed manifests: 15
entries, the root manifest declaring none of them because what it carries is a
workspace POOL. After: 19, the difference being `toml`, `pulldown-cmark`,
`serde` and `serde_json`, every one of them an entry of `xtask/Cargo.toml`. Same
manifests, same kinds, same keys, same declared packages and paths everywhere
else. `the_committed_census_is_nineteen_entries` pins it entry for entry.

ADMITTED MECHANISMS. `toml`, `pulldown-cmark`, `serde` and `serde_json`, pinned
exact with default features off and the reason written beside each. Three crates
are new to the resolved graph — `pulldown-cmark`, `bitflags`, `unicase` — and
all three are `MIT OR Apache-2.0`, already on `deny.toml`'s allow list, so no
licence or feature policy needed changing and no duplicate version enters the
lock.

FOUND, NOT REPAIRED

- `xtask/src/checks/mint.rs` carries one `unwrap_or` about which type a receiver
  stands for. It is a declared choice rather than a repair of an unread fact,
  and it is left where it is.
- `testpak/src/*/README.md` declare seat-reservation data blocks that no reading
  joins. They now carry a schema identity and are counted as recognized; nothing
  reads their content, and nothing pretends to.
- The branch `manifest-multiline-refusal` (PR #18) is SUPERSEDED. It repairs the
  hand parser this commit deletes; the ceiling it was written against — a
  multi-line string quoting a dependency table — is closed here by the decoder,
  and `a_spelling_that_changes_the_declaration_changes_it_exactly` pins the new
  answer.

… land

WHAT REMAINS UNPROVEN. Both new laws read committed FILES and neither claims a
hosted step still runs anything: `alarm-artifacts-are-present-and-distinct`
fails open on a workflow somebody edited every step out of, and its ceiling is
executed as a planted test rather than written as a sentence. Its opening
condition is unchanged and unmet — a hosted run publishing the roster of what it
EXECUTED. `inhabitant-promising-limits-are-witnessed` reads the machine's
sources alone: the services declare every limit family through a transcriber no
syntax reader expands, so a services family off the ladder is outside the
population and the module says so. It establishes that a family is ON the
ladder, never that a witness is ever minted.

DENOMINATORS, before and after. red twins 21 discharged / 179 owed, unmoved from
the seal lane (the B2 lane read 19/178 over its own tree). Tooling reversals
18 / 3, unmoved on both. Collection bodies 27 coupled / 27 declared, unmoved —
which is the number this merge had to protect: the seal lane's `read_module`
re-export lifting is what keeps the six services bodies that moved into a `mod
seat` resolving against the family implementations beside them, and without it
the denominator reads 21. Seat modules 7 / 7, unmoved. Manifest census 19
entries across seven committed manifests, unmoved from the B2 lane. Repository
laws 16 on the seal lane and 17 on B2, now 18. Inhabitant-promising limits
8 witnessed / 8 declared, a population that did not exist before.

THE ARTIFACT. `mint.rs` and `seal.rs` are deleted, not ported: 2,270 lines of
source-level reachability analysis that were re-implementing name resolution and
ownership analysis rustc performs, and that were wrong twelve times doing it.
`seat.rs` is reseated on `RepositorySnapshot` — it consumes the one parse like
every other law and opens no file; its unparsable-source reversal moves to a
test adapter, exactly as `coupling.rs` does, because a source the snapshot could
not parse now refuses the whole reading rather than shrinking a population. The
roster is the seal lane's with B2's signature, and its length is set
deliberately at eighteen with the arithmetic written beside it.

`proc-macro2` is RESTORED to the workspace pool and to xtask, and the manifest
paragraph states the hand-over rather than inheriting the old reason: the law
that admitted it is deleted, and B2's `placement.rs` independently earned it by
lexing crate-root references, where a longer identifier ending in `crate` and
the word inside a comment must each be what they are. `Cargo.lock` is not
hand-merged: `cargo metadata --locked` accepts the B2 lane's lock over the
merged manifests unchanged, and `cargo deny check` reports advisories, bans,
licenses and sources ok on the resolved graph.

`table_at` joins `string_at`, `strings_at` and `declares_yes` in
`repository/cargo.rs`, so the alarm law compares two decoded profiles rather
than re-deriving key-path navigation of its own.

FOUND AND REPAIRED, named because it is outside the merge proper: the root
manifest cited `xtask/src/repository/manifest.rs` for the spelling invariant,
and the B2 lane deleted that file; the citation now names
`xtask/src/repository/cargo.rs`, where nine spellings of one declaration are
proven to resolve alike. The stale prose in `.config/nextest.toml`,
`.cargo/mutants.toml` and the root README that said these populations were
counted by nothing is rewritten, because prose that keeps reading as true after
the gap is closed is the same defect one direction over.

FOUND AND NOT REPAIRED: `cargo deny check` prints four `license-not-encountered`
warnings for allowances the graph does not use; unchanged by this merge and
untouched. Also noted rather than changed: the re-export lifting cannot be
removed in silence — deleting the call leaves three functions dead and the lint
wall refuses the build.

Document the compiler-enforced visibility contract.

$vis applies inside mod $home and to the re-export in the invoking module. Require absolute forms: pub, pub(crate), or pub(in crate::…). pub(super) uses different bases at these two depths and causes the re-export to exceed the struct's visibility. An empty $vis keeps the struct private to $home, so the re-export fails. Update the documentation near lines 101–107. Current invocations use pub or pub(crate).

Scope the raw green: counter to the ledger block.

This loop counts every line whose trimmed text starts with green: in the whole README text. The reading it is compared against is schema-scoped: obligation_ledger reads rows only inside the block that declares the obligation schema.

The two numbers therefore no longer measure one population. A green: row written in prose, in a worked example, or in a text fence makes written larger than read, and this test fails with "a green row was written and not read" while no defect exists. xtask/src/repository/markdown.rs Lines 27-31 retire exactly this whole-file scan.

Count the raw rows inside the obligation ledger block instead, so the control still proves nothing was dropped without depending on prose staying free of the row word.

476-485: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude the proof surfaces before requiring the parse.

parsed_under refuses on the first unread source. The PROOF_SURFACES filter runs on its result, so it cannot exclude a proof surface that failed to parse. A proof surface is outside this law's population, but an unparsable one would still refuse the whole law.

Filter first, then require each remaining source.

41-46: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Scope the unread-directory skip to the root.

UNREAD_DIRECTORIES is matched by directory name at every depth. A committed directory named target at any level is therefore dropped from the file map, and nothing records the drop. Every law derives its population from this map, so the loss is silent — the failure the module doc names at lines 18-26.

The two justified directories are both root-level: git's own storage and the build's output. Test inside.is_empty() so the skip applies only at the root.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/harness.yml:
- Around line 125-143: The “The planted reversal must refuse” step must first
run cargo nextest list with the reversal profile, binaries-only list type, and
JSON output, then fail unless the selected test is exactly compile_refusals.
Only after this validation, run the reversal profile and preserve the existing
requirement for exit code 100 and a timed-out test.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 150-152: Update the README statement near “EvidenceSelectedLimit”
to say that a family without the bound has no path to a positive
runtime-capacity witness, rather than no path to runtime capacity at all; leave
the surrounding explanation unchanged.

In `@src/02_identity/README.md`:
- Around line 124-125: Keep the inline code identifier
stamped-guards-seal-their-position on a single line in the surrounding Markdown
paragraph so Markdown does not insert a space into the name.

In `@src/15_execution/types.rs`:
- Around line 693-695: Update the documentation for EffectBatchIssueLimit to
identify effect-batch issues as its subject instead of composition issues, while
preserving the existing explanation of owner-selected magnitude and the
EvidenceSelectedLimit reference.

In `@xtask/src/checks/coupling.rs`:
- Around line 351-362: Update reexported_from to recognize and traverse an
initial self:: path before matching the child module, so reexports such as
self::seat::DemoRefusal are included. Add a regression test covering this
self-rooted reexport and verifying the missing-body offence is not produced.

In `@xtask/src/checks/hygiene.rs`:
- Around line 138-160: Update suppressed_fields to traverse nested items in
implementation method bodies (ImplItem::Fn) and default trait method bodies
(TraitItem::Fn::default), alongside its existing Item::Fn traversal, so structs
and their fields are collected consistently; add focused tests covering both
cases.

In `@xtask/src/checks/placement.rs`:
- Around line 391-411: Update grouped_heads so brace-group recursion only occurs
when the group appears at a top-level head position, preventing nested paths
such as b and c from being collected while still returning a and d for grouped
imports.

In `@xtask/src/checks/positivity.rs`:
- Around line 280-296: Update read_implementation so record_ladder is called
only when declared.modifiers.polarity is None, while preserving the existing
trait and family checks; continue processing implementation members with
read_signature, read_seat, and read_seat as before.

In `@xtask/src/checks/vocabulary.rs`:
- Around line 96-101: Update check_no_personal_names to obtain file contents
through fact.bytes().required(...) instead of fact.text(), then perform ASCII
case-insensitive matching against the banned names as bytes while preserving
offender collection and error propagation.

In `@xtask/src/repository/markdown.rs`:
- Around line 223-226: Update declared_by to parse the info string’s first
whitespace-delimited token and compare that token with DATA_LANGUAGE, so
trailing spaces or attributes such as title=ledger still classify the block as
data while other languages remain BlockSchema::NotData.

…'s instructions

WHAT REMAINS UNPROVEN. No hosted run stands at this head for either alarm. The
second harness's new reversal is executed on a working machine only, both
directions, and those transcripts are the whole of its evidence; the hosted seat
is where it must be watched next, because the defect it replaces is one only a
hosted runner exposed. The mutation alarm is owed a run outright: it carries no
trigger a commit can pull, its job condition and its counting guard were READ
here and are correct, and reading is not running — `gh workflow run mutation.yml
--ref fx-tools` is the command that discharges it. Nothing here claims a hosted
step is still wired: `alarm-artifacts-are-present-and-distinct` still fails open
on a workflow somebody edited every step out of, and its opening condition — a
hosted run publishing the roster of what it EXECUTED — is unchanged and unmet.

DENOMINATORS, before and after. The second harness executes 533 tests, before and
after; the entry bar executes 533 harness tests and 3 doctests, 536, before and
after. Both were written as 532 and 535 and were already stale by one at this
head — re-measured here, with the two executed sets compared name for name and
the difference empty in both directions. The root package alone runs 183, not the
180 the workflow claimed. One test is ADDED and is executed by neither reading:
`the_nextest_timeout_reversal` carries `#[ignore]`, both harnesses report it
skipped, and the reversal step is the one run that selects it. Repository laws
18, red twins 21 discharged / 179 owed, tooling reversals 18 / 3, collection
bodies 27 / 27, seat modules 7 / 7, inhabitant-promising limits 8 / 8, manifest
census 19 entries — all unmoved.

THE ARTIFACT. The second harness's planted reversal is no longer a timing race.
It selected `binary(compile_refusals)` and killed it at one second, calling a
factor of seventeen a margin; the margin was never the test's, it was the
COMPILATION that test pays for, and the positive step in the same job pays it
first. The hosted run at f25f33d is what said so: nextest exited 0 under the
reversal profile, the step requiring a refusal went red, and the newly added
alarm's own negative control was the only red on the board. What stands there now
is a dedicated test whose entire body sleeps thirty seconds, selected by
`test(the_nextest_timeout_reversal)` and killed after one. A sleep has no cache,
so the same thing happens cold, warm, and busy.

The subject carries `#[ignore]`, which is what keeps it out of `cargo test`, the
entry bar's `tests` stage, the harness's own positive step, and every mutation
rebuild. Two flags reach past that and both are MEASURED absences of a
configuration key rather than preferences: `run-ignored` and `no-tests` are not
profile keys on 0.9.132 — each prints `ignoring unknown configuration key` and
changes nothing — so the step spells `--run-ignored only` and `--no-tests fail`.
`only` rather than `all` on purpose: a subject that lost its `#[ignore]` would
silently join every ordinary run under `all`, and under `only` it empties the
selection and reds the step. The step now requires THREE things, because no two
are enough — exit 100, the `timed out` diagnostic, and the subject's own name in
the transcript, since a code with a diagnostic still accepts a run that timed
something else out.

The root manifest's paragraph forcing the workspace member array onto one line is
DELETED, and the readable array is back. It described `no-core-tooling-edge`
reading manifests a line at a time; this branch deleted that reader in
`xtask/src/repository/cargo.rs`, which now decodes with `toml` plus `cargo
metadata --locked --format-version 1`, and the paragraph came back with the merge
at f25f33d — the mechanism's operating instructions resurrected without the
mechanism. It arrived in 6187cb1 on the other lane, and the branch tip before the
merge, 570c31b, carried neither the paragraph nor the one-line array.

FOUND AND NOT REPAIRED, named rather than widened into the diff. The sibling
sweep for prose about readers that no longer exist turns up only PAST-TENSE
records — `xtask/Cargo.toml`, `xtask/src/repository/cargo.rs`,
`xtask/src/repository/markdown.rs`, `xtask/src/checks/{placement,dependency}.rs`
each say what a line reader DID and that it was replaced, which is the hand-over
being written down rather than a live instruction. Three of those files belong to
lanes running in parallel and are untouched here either way. The mutation
workflow's counting guard reads its four rosters with `wc -l`, so a report file
whose last entry carries no trailing newline would be undercounted by one; the
guard's refusals at zero examined and zero caught are unaffected, and it is left
for the run that is owed to expose or dismiss.

And one the mutation alarm's own prose implies is already dealt with, which it is
not: `dependencies.yml` still conditions its `graph` job as `github.event_name !=
'schedule'`. That is the skip-list shape `mutation.yml` line 47 cites as the
lesson — the repair landed on the `advisory` job at line 155 and never reached
`graph`, whose comment now presents the absorption as a convenience ("the push
trigger above needed nothing added here to reach this job"). It already absorbs
`workflow_dispatch` and will absorb the next trigger the file grows. It is inside
this lane's files and outside its three tasks, so it is named here rather than
repaired into this diff; the repair is a positive list of the three events that
job is actually for.

…ever bound

Five repairs to the repository reading, each with an executed reversal.

THE LAST LINE SCANNER. `obligations.rs::declared_laws` still read `src/laws.rs`
as text: a raw `mod ` prefix, a previous line exactly `#[test]`, a current line
opening `fn `. Every valid Rust shape that breaks that grammar vanished from the
join's denominator while cargo went on executing it — `#[test] #[should_panic]`,
`#[test]` written after a `#[cfg]`, an `#[expect]`, or a documentation comment,
and anything inside a nested inline module, which the reader attributed to the
module above it. It also read laws that do not exist: `#[test]` on its own line
inside a string literal opened a phantom. The reading is now
`RustSyntaxSnapshot::functions_in` — the one parse, module path built on the way
down, complete attribute set — filtered by the same `is_the_harness_attribute`
roster the testpak seat population uses. `laws.rs` and `testpak/tests/` are asked
one question by one reader.

THE WALKER'S POPULATION MOVED UNDER PATH SHAPE, three ways. The two exclusions
were basename matches at every depth, so `src/<home>/target/`, `docs/target/`
and `testpak/target/` would have disappeared with no law reporting the absence;
they are root-relative now. `.git` is a DIRECTORY in a clone and a FILE in a
worktree, and only the directory was skipped — so the same committed tree read
as two different populations depending on checkout topology. It was live: this
worktree's `.git` file was in the canonical file map. And `to_string_lossy` was
building path identities, so two non-Unicode names collapse onto one key and one
insertion silently overwrites the other. A lossy rendering is not an identity;
the reading refuses such a name and says why it refuses rather than keying on
platform bytes — every CanonicalPath is a join key against UTF-8 text somebody
wrote, so a name no row can spell is a name no join can resolve.

THE PRINTED COMMIT WAS NOT BOUND TO THE BYTES. The walk ran, git was asked
afterwards, and the run printed `read N files at commit X` — a relationship
nothing had checked. On a dirty tree that sentence was simply false, and `check`
alone never noticed. Git is asked before the walk and again after it, the
checkout is asked what differs, and the reading now carries a CommitBinding:
either the committed tree these bytes ARE, or what stops them from being one. A
commit that moved between the two readings refuses the whole reading. The
opening sentence names no commit it did not bind — which also settles the
`unknown (...)` case, where the run used to state it had no commit and claim a
commit-bound result in the same line.

CARGO METADATA WAS DESCRIBED ONE LEVEL TOO STRONGLY. `packages[].dependencies`
is each package's dependency DECLARATIONS as cargo normalized them, not the
resolved graph, which is `resolve.nodes[].deps`. The normalized declarations are
the right subject for the topology rule — a target-conditional or currently
inactive edge must still be forbidden — so the repair is vocabulary, at every
site: ResolvedWorkspace/ResolvedPackage/ResolvedDependency become
NormalizedWorkspace/NormalizedPackage/NormalizedDependency, `resolved()` becomes
`normalized()`, `dependencies()` becomes `declarations()`. No behaviour moved.

MARKDOWN SCHEMA SELECTION WAS PRIORITY-ORDERED. A block declaring both
`obligations:` and `phase:` was an obligation ledger because that arm was
written first, and the phase reader further down the file found nothing. Every
schema is calculated now and exactly one is required; two is an offence naming
both, refused for BOTH readers rather than won by one. BlockSchema shrank to the
four real schemas and a separate BlockReading carries "exactly one, none, or
many", because "which schema" and "whether there is one" are two questions.

OBLIGATION RECORD IDENTITY is implemented here rather than deferred: an id that
is empty, and two records in one home sharing one, are both offences. B2 would
not be complete without it — the id is what a record's rows are attributed to
and what a routed seat's control marker names back, so an empty one leaves rows
nothing can attribute and a shared one lets one marker discharge two claims.

DENOMINATORS, before and after: files read 311 -> 310, and that ONE file is the
worktree's `.git`, which is now excluded; `git ls-files` reports 310. Repository
laws 183 -> 183, every pair identical, and the number is pinned in
`the_real_seats_are_the_real_laws` because a reader was replaced. Red twins
(core) 21/179, tooling reversals 18/3, collection bodies 27/27, seat modules
7/7, inhabitant-promising limits 8/8, manifest census 19 — all unmoved.

Outside the two owned files, named rather than widened: `main.rs` prints the
binding instead of a commit it had not established, and `checks/dependency.rs`
carries the cargo-metadata vocabulary at its own sites. Both are the same repair
reaching its other end; neither belongs to a parallel agent's surface.
…ile its claim was false

WHAT REMAINS UNPROVEN. Two ceilings are now stated rather than papered over,
and both are the same one: `syn::Expr` is `#[non_exhaustive]`, so neither the
seat walk nor the underscore-field walk enters an item declared inside an
EXPRESSION — a block used as a value, a closure body, a match arm. A reader
completing itself by listing that enum is complete until the decoder gains one
variant, which is the set-with-no-last-member shape this repository has already
deleted readers for. The opening condition is named at both sites: the gap
closes when the one reading gains a visitor owning the whole grammar, not when
a law is taught one more shape. `is_the_marker` likewise admits a LOCAL type
named `PhantomData`; separating it from the marker is name resolution, and the
narrowing deliberately stops short of it. A two-line block-to-items adapter is
now written in both seat.rs and hygiene.rs; its shared home is
`repository/rust.rs`, which another agent owns this wave.

DENOMINATORS, BEFORE AND AFTER, UNMOVED. read 311 files; red twins (core) 21
discharged / 179 owed; tooling reversals 18 discharged / 3 owed; collection
bodies 27 coupled / 27 declared; seat modules 7 carrying one record alone / 7
declared; inhabitant-promising limits 8 witnessed / 8 declared; committed
manifest census 19 entries; repository laws 18. `cargo xtask qualify` runs all
seven stages green on these bytes.

WHAT WAS BUILT. Five silent under-reports, each closed at its class rather than
at the instance that was reported.

1. seat.rs admitted a QUALIFIED self type. `head_of` reduced an implementation's
   subject to its last path segment, so `impl crate::other::Foo` inside a seat
   module declaring `Foo` read as `Foo` and passed — while Rust admits an
   inherent implementation in a module other than the type's own, so that block
   really does sit inside the local record's privacy wall and can construct or
   return it. The subject is now classified: unqualified, single-segment, that
   segment the record's identifier, generic arguments permitted there. No
   `qself`, no leading `::`, no second segment. The ground is stated and is
   syntax-only — a module declaring `struct Foo` cannot also import another
   `Foo` into its type namespace, so the admitted spelling's meaning is settled
   by the declaration beside it. Nothing is resolved.

   SWEPT, same file: the walk entered item-level modules only, so a `seat`
   module written inside a free road, an implementation method, or a trait
   default stood outside the population entirely. It now enters all three.

2. `underscore-fields-are-phantom` missed METHOD bodies. The walk descended into
   free `Item::Fn` bodies and ignored `Item::Impl` and `Item::Trait`, so a real
   underscore field declared inside a method was outside a population the law
   states repository-wide — a regression against the whole-source scan this
   replaced. It now descends into method and default bodies.

3. The same law accepted anything CONTAINING `PhantomData`. The predicate asked
   whether the marker appeared at any depth, so `_hidden: (u64,
   PhantomData<Token>)` passed while carrying a readable `u64`. The outer
   declared type must now BE `PhantomData<…>`; parentheses and invisible groups
   are unwrapped because neither is a type, and references, pointers, tuples,
   arrays, slices and containers refuse.

4. `lint-wall-inherited` never checked the ROOT package. It iterated
   `[workspace].members`, and the root package is a member Cargo never asks
   anybody to list — so deleting the machine crate's own `[lints] workspace =
   true` took it out from under the one wall and this check printed PASS.
   SWEPT PAST THE REPORTED INSTANCE: a path dependency inside the workspace
   directory is an implicit member too, so the population is now DERIVED from
   the tree — every `Cargo.toml` declaring a `[package]` table — with the
   workspace's own `exclude` as the single exemption, read off that declaration.
   The members array is still read for the one claim only it can make: a listed
   member must be one of those packages.

5a. `declared_module_order` excluded every module carrying ANY `cfg`. That
   correctly skipped `#[cfg(test)] mod laws;` and also let `#[cfg(unix)] mod
   production_home;` reach forward without ever entering the order. RULING: only
   the exact proof-surface condition is admitted, and every other conditioned
   declaration REFUSES — the reason being the law's own subject, that this
   reading establishes one order and a module compiled in some builds and not
   others stands in as many orders as there are build populations. The
   alternative is unrepresentable rather than discouraged: the reader refuses
   the declaration instead of passing over it. The same rule now covers the
   machine's band declarations, and `cfg_attr` counts as a condition.

5b. The band population RECOGNIZED `NN_` directories and let everything else
   fall through a silent `continue`. Every direct child of `src/` now resolves
   to exactly one of four states — numbered semantic home, crate root, reserved
   root file, invalid entry — and nothing reaches a silent continue.
   SWEPT, same file: `macros/macroc/src` had the identical hole from the other
   side, where a source no `mod` declaration accounts for stands in no order at
   all; its children are now classified total the same way. And
   `module_references` preferred `name.rs` when both `name.rs` and `name/`
   existed, leaving every source under the directory unread; that ambiguity now
   refuses.

REVERSALS, EXECUTED AGAINST THE REAL TREE, then reverted: a qualified impl
planted in `macros/macroc/src/refusal/type_guard.rs` (seat modules 6/7); an
underscore field in an implementation method and in a trait default; `_hidden:
(u64, PhantomData<u8>)`; the root package's lints inheritance stripped
(`Cargo.toml does not inherit the lint wall`); `#[cfg(unix)] pub mod
production_home;` in the services root; `src/2_4_orchestration/` and
`src/notes.md`. Each is also committed as a planted fixture beside its law.

OUTSIDE THIS DIFF, NOT WIDENED. `check_toolchain_pin` joins four statements of
the floor and no fifth exists in the tree — the hosted workflows install through
the pin rather than restating a version — so that law has no sibling hole.

… homes spell alike

WHAT REMAINS UNPROVEN. `LimitWitness` still has only its crate-internal
`#[cfg(test)]` mint, so production schema validation can neither mint a runtime
capacity nor consume one; what this diff establishes is the ALGEBRA and the
declaration-side population guard, never a production road, and the opening
condition is the schema home carrying a validation path that selects a
magnitude. Beside it, the collection-shaped refusal mints on `AdmittedPrefix`
are bounded on `L: ConstLimit`, so the seven collection-shaped bodies whose
families are on the runtime ladder cannot consume `PositiveLimitWitness<L>` at
all — the witness exists and nothing among them takes it; the opening condition
is a prefix road that takes the runtime witness. Both absences are now written
at the types themselves and in the README, and neither is closed here. The
population leg still reads the machine's sources alone: the services declare
their thirty-four families through one transcriber no syntax reader expands, so
a services family is outside the derivation and the module says so. Declaring an
authority is not supplying a magnitude: a family may name `DeclaredMagnitude`
and never implement `ConstLimit`, which is inert rather than wrong, and no bound
here judges it.

DENOMINATORS, before and after. Red twins (core) 21 discharged / 179 owed →
22 / 179; the one new discharge is this diff's own reversal and no owed row
moved. Tooling reversals 18 discharged / 3 owed, unmoved. Collection bodies
27 coupled / 27 declared, unmoved. Seat modules 7 / 7, unmoved.
Inhabitant-promising limits 8 witnessed / 8 declared, unmoved — the guard around
that population changed and the population did not. Manifest census 19 entries,
unmoved. Repository laws 18, unmoved: the collision refusal is an offence of the
leg that derives the population rather than a nineteenth name, because a reading
that cannot say which family a seat named has no denominator to count and the
refusal belongs where the denominator is built. Files read 311 → 313, the two
being the new fixture and its recorded diagnostic. The `impl Limit` population
was derived by grep and is 106 sites: 70 in the machine's homes (18 declared
magnitude, 8 evidence-selected, 44 unstated), 20 in the proof surface, 11 in
testpak's fixtures, and one transcriber row standing for the services' 34.

THE ARTIFACT. `Limit` carries `type Authority: CapacityAuthority`, and the two
ladders name theirs exactly — `ConstLimit: Limit<Authority = DeclaredMagnitude>`
and `EvidenceSelectedLimit: Limit<Authority = EvidenceSelectedMagnitude>`. An
associated type resolves to one type, so a family declaring both ladders is a
type mismatch at its own declaration. `UnstatedMagnitude` is the third state and
the largest: a family bounding only a `Bounded` seat needs no magnitude, and the
marker makes the families whose prose says "schema-witnessed" while their
declaration says nothing say THAT in the type system.

The reversal is executed and recorded:
`testpak/tests/compile-fail/a-family-declaring-both-capacity-authorities.rs`,
whose committed diagnostic reads `error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving
<TwoAuthorities as Limit>::Authority == EvidenceSelectedMagnitude`. Its green
half is `laws.rs root::a_family_declares_one_capacity_authority`, which asserts
the exclusion nowhere and could not: the exclusion has no expression in this
crate. What that law holds is the positive control — that both bounds are
satisfiable, and that the third state is inhabited — because a pair of ladders
nothing could implement would refuse every reversal ever written against it.

`positivity.rs` keyed a family by its LAST PATH SEGMENT, so two homes declaring
an ordinary name — `IssueLimit` is the obvious one — would have collapsed into
one record, folding one home's ladder onto the other home's seat, silently and
in the direction that makes the offence vanish. A terminal name declared at more
than one SITE now refuses and leaves the population; a site is the file plus its
inline module chain, so two `mod` blocks in one file collide exactly as two
files do. It is refused rather than qualified because the seat side carries only
a terminal name and has no owner to qualify against — until a generated
declaration contract supplies an owner-qualified identity BOTH sides carry,
refusing loud is the honest move. Measured on this tree: no collision exists
today, and the measurement is a test (`the_real_machine_declares_no_family_name_twice`)
rather than a sentence in a report. Three planted reversals stand beside it: two
homes, two inline modules, and the positive control that one family named many
times at one site is not a collision.

DRAINED, because the type system now holds what they asserted. Three prose
claims that a family declaring both authorities was a defect nothing could see
are gone rather than moved: the nonclaim in `EvidenceSelectedLimit`'s rustdoc,
the second claim ceiling in `laws.rs
root::the_runtime_ladder_is_declared_by_its_family`, and the matching stated
ceiling in `positivity.rs`'s module documentation. No law was deleted — the leg
that would have re-derived the same refusal by parsing was never written, and
writing it now would have been the weaker restatement that keeps passing after
the supertrait bounds are gone.

FOUND AND REPAIRED, named because it is outside this diff's subject: the same
law's rustdoc said the seat side of the ladder join "remains owed; no
`cargo xtask check` law derives it", which stopped being true when
`inhabitant-promising-limits-are-witnessed` landed. It now names that leg.

FOUND AND NOT ACTED ON, named rather than absorbed. `Bounded::admitted` takes
`&LimitWitness<L>` under `L: Limit`, so a family whose authority is
`DeclaredMagnitude` can still be handed an evidence-selected magnitude — the
same two-authorities shape one rung down, at the BASE witness rather than at the
positive one. The proof surface already does it:
`root::bounded_construction_is_a_seam` mints a `LimitWitness<SmallDemo>` for a
`ConstLimit` family. It has no production consequence today because that mint is
`#[cfg(test)]`, and tightening the bound is a change to the base algebra with
its own reversal and its own law prose, not a widening of this diff.
