This PR comes out of a 5+3 council on the multiplicity rows of cypher-mask-lowering-v1. The ratified spec is .claude/plans/cypher-mask-multiplicity-contract-v1.md, amended by its §7 before merge.

The defect

After a hop, the plan lowered count(*) to the popcount of the final mask. Cypher counts one row per binding (path), not one per node. Measured on KNOWS = {1→2, 1→3, 2→3, 3→4, 4→5}:

query DataFusion mask chain
(a)->(b)->(c) RETURN count(*) 4 3
count(DISTINCT c.id) 3 3
*1..2 from id 1, count(*) 4 3
count(DISTINCT b) 3 forward dst₁ = 4

The last row is a second defect: a forward hop chain gives the exact support of the terminal variable only.

Changes

  • LogicalOperator::consumer_semantics() classifies the carrier a RETURN consumer needs: TerminalSet, EarlierSet, TerminalCount, EarlierCount or Bindings.
    • It is pure and fails closed, including for hops that do not chain and for a variable bound twice (Codex review).
    • It is not Serialize, and a guard test with a can-fire arm enforces that.
    • Seven disables each turned the tests red, then green on restore: sensitivity forced off; focus forced to the terminal; the cross-variable filter check dropped; Join let through; the chain check removed; the per-hop rebind check removed; the scan-level rebind check removed.
  • DataFusion pins in tests/test_datafusion_varlength_complex.rs: DAG 4 vs 3 (2-hop), 4 vs 3 (*1..2); on a cycle {1→2, 2→1, 2→2}, DataFusion returns 5 walks (the trail count is 4).
  • The W0-b census now uses the classifier. Full dropped from 117 to 70 (313 queries read; the classifier-test queries joined the corpus, Full unchanged).
  • Plan corrections. T-1..T-7, T-11, R-6..R-8, §4.1, §4.6 and the wave oracles are narrowed, not deleted; eleven rows carry a post-hop qualifier.
  • Contract §7 (amendment, docs only).
    • v1 semantics is WALK: DataFusion, Ladybug (PathSemantic::WALK default, no r1 <> r2 for fixed-length patterns) and SQL joins all compute it. D-CMM-5 is reclassified accordingly; TRAIL is a separate mode.
    • §0's "walks and trails diverge only on cycles" is struck: (a)->(b)<-(c) on the single edge {1→2} is 1 as a walk and 0 as a trail.
    • A carrier-sufficiency table, measured by exhaustive enumeration over every 3-node multigraph with up to 4 edges (python3 .claude/tools/carrier_sufficiency.py; every "no" prints its witness). Node support answers only Exists/Support under WALK; per-node counts add Count/CountBy; the last hop's edge population adds the previous node; no per-node or per-edge carrier answers a TRAIL question two hops on.
    • The mask-RISC ScatterOrU32 survival rule stays; §7.4 states the exact condition under which a later PR may relax it.
  • Board. D-CMM rows (D-CMM-7 added, D-CMM-5 reclassified), the findings entry, an INTEGRATION_PLANS correction for the stale 35/9/9 tally, and an AGENT_LOG entry.

Gates

All cargo gates ran with debug info off:

  • cargo test -p lance-graph --lib logical_plan: 29 passed.
  • --test test_datafusion_varlength_complex: 22 passed.
  • cargo clippy -p lance-graph --all-targets -- -D warnings: clean; cargo fmt --check: clean.
  • citation_decay.py, append_only_gate.py, entries_index.py --check: clean locally. No Cargo.toml changes.

Not in this PR

  • No count-lane (plus-times) operator (D-CMM-4).
  • No DataFusion change.
  • No step/carrier types in code; the next PR lowers a single step in Quack.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Query compatibility classification now distinguishes distinct endpoint results from path counts and binding-sensitive results. Queries that depend on path multiplicity are no longer classified as fully supported when only distinct-node results are available.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified the difference between WALK and TRAIL results for cyclic paths, and documented which query results can be derived from available path data.

A mask is the support of a frontier, never its multiplicity. Pins the
KNOWS 2-hop fixture (count(*)=4 vs count(DISTINCT c)=3) and states the
Frontier/ConsumerSemantics/Unfold contract before any code.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change distinguishes mask support from Cypher bag multiplicity. It adds a logical-plan consumer classifier, uses its results in the corpus census, updates lowering documentation, and adds DataFusion tests and a carrier-sufficiency tool to record path, endpoint, walk, and trail results.

Changes

Cypher Mask Multiplicity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define multiplicity contract
.claude/plans/cypher-mask-multiplicity-contract-v1.md, .claude/plans/cypher-mask-lowering-v1.md, .claude/board/*, .claude/board/entries/README.md
The plans distinguish terminal support from path multiplicity and define v1 lowering limits. Board records track the ratified contract, gates, measured results, and status.
Classify consumer semantics
crates/lance-graph/src/logical_plan.rs, crates/lance-graph/examples/w0b_corpus_census.rs
LogicalOperator::consumer_semantics() classifies query consumers into five carrier kinds and returns Bindings for unsupported shapes. The census assigns a specific grace reason to each kind other than TerminalSet. Tests cover classifications and confirm that the enum is not serializable.
Measure multiplicity and carrier sufficiency

DataFusion tests compare path counts with distinct endpoint counts and record walk counts on a cyclic fixture. The tool exhaustively compares carrier observations for WALK and TRAIL patterns. The board entry records results and open items.

- Around line 389-393: Reconcile the “Nine rows” count in the multiplicity
qualifier sentence with its listed rows: either correct the count to match all
11 entries or clarify which subset the count refers to. Preserve the existing
row labels and qualifier distinctions.
- Around line 501-502: Clarify the §4.6 `count(DISTINCT)` support table so
unsupported multiplicity means binding, value, or path multiplicity, not
distinct terminal-node counting. Keep `count(DISTINCT c)` supported for terminal
nodes and make the unsupported case explicit alongside the `how many BINDINGS
(paths)?` row.

CodeRabbit on #1305: the list named 11 rows; count(DISTINCT) in the
multiplicity row now says value/binding/path, not terminal-node distinct.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VSQE2ErQwkg1zbUir7TbeM
DataFusion, Ladybug (PathSemantic::WALK default, no r1<>r2 in
rewriteMatchPattern) and SQL joins all compute walk semantics, so v1
adopts WALK and TRAIL becomes a separate mode. D-CMM-5 is reclassified
from "DataFusion divergence" accordingly.

Strikes §0's "diverge only on cycles": a direction change reuses an edge
on an acyclic graph ((a)->(b)<-(c) on {1->2}: 1 walk, 0 trails).

Adds §7.3, a carrier-sufficiency table measured by exhaustive
enumeration over every 3-node multigraph with up to 4 edges
(.claude/tools/carrier_sufficiency.py, every "no" prints a witness):
node support answers only Exists/Support under WALK; per-node counts
add Count/CountBy; the last hop's edge population adds the previous
node; no per-node or per-edge carrier answers TRAIL two hops on.

§7.4 keeps the mask-RISC ScatterOrU32 survival rule and states the
exact condition under which a later PR may relax it.

Docs and board only; no code change.

Revises §11 the same day after reading #1305's committed work (support
is not bag; forward chains give terminal support only; DataFusion counts
walks; consumer_semantics() names five carrier kinds).

- Stable socket: population, relation (a population with two index lanes,
  not a fourth primitive), step(observation) -> answer or Insufficient.
  mask-risc's MASK/TRANSPORT/REDUCE move below it as lowering vocabulary.
- One directed hop is one existing mask-risc Program over the edge table;
  the five #1305 kinds map onto its five observations exactly at k = 1.
- Frozen as law (spec only): carrier sufficiency; explicit walk/trail;
  zero is false only inside a declared (space, epoch) domain; rendering
  outside computation; replaceable backends.
- Measured: mask-risc's zero fallback plus length-only foreign checks
  turn not-evaluated into false
  (ISS-MASK-RISC-ZERO-FALLBACK-IS-NOT-EVALUATED-FALSE).
- ScatterOrU32 prohibition not relaxed; the condition for a future
  relaxation is recorded. CausalEdge64 stays above: a value lane, not
  a relation.
- Next PR: quack observation types + the existing doc-line-partner
  DuckDB oracle.

No code.

#1305 closes unmerged. Kept: support-not-bag fixture (4 vs 3), terminal-only
exactness of a forward chain, walks vs trails (5 vs 4; 1 vs 0 acyclic), three
pattern-shape refusals, the census drop to 70/313, and the pre-hop caveat on
v1's terminal rows. D-CML-2 no longer ports consumer_semantics(): per-path
carriers are refused, not carried. Evidence stays on ccr-2fcc2bd3-8o7m2l@67abd29.

Closing without merging, by the operator's decision. The Cypher direction is now #1306 (cypher-mask-lowering-v2).

That plan is a fork-owned mask engine. It calls the upstream parser and planner read-only and makes no edits to upstream files, so consumer_semantics() in logical_plan.rs cannot land. Queries whose answer depends on how many paths exist are refused, not carried through the hops. That rules out the count lanes (D-CMM-4/5/6).

Six measurements from this PR carry over into #1306, in .claude/plans/cypher-mask-lowering-v2.md §12 (551e18c2):

  1. A mask counts nodes, while Cypher count(*) counts paths: 4 vs 3.
  2. A forward chain gives an exact node set only for the last variable.
  3. DataFusion counts walks, and walks are not trails: 5 vs 4 on a cycle; 1 vs 0 without one.
  4. Three pattern shapes must be refused rather than treated as a chain: hops that don't connect, a variable bound twice, and disconnected patterns.
  5. The census drops to 70 fully lowerable queries out of 313.
  6. v1's terminal rows are valid only before the first hop.

The branch ccr-2fcc2bd3-8o7m2l at 67abd29 is kept as the full evidence.

… pipeline

- A push hop answers only RETURN b; count/exists/sum/WHERE over it are
  R-CHAIN (count(DISTINCT) only via CountKeyRunsU32 on a key-ordered lane).
- sum/avg after a hop refused (R-BAG); min/max stay (idempotent under
  repetition).
- R-SHAPE: the three #1305 pattern-shape refusals get their own variant.
- run's pipeline is explicit: parse -> label check (before planning, so
  R-UNBOUND-LABEL is reachable) -> semantic/plan (R-UNPLANNED) -> classify
  with binding + lane catalogue -> lower.
- Answer is one item per RETURN item; any refused item refuses the query.
- Relative-target hop partitions the source by each row's own offset;
  the all-zero (unbound) locus excluded.
- Entry states 37.3 % as an upper bound beside #1305's 70/313.
