board: chained-hop exploration map, round 2 (premise audit of (c), falsifier on (a)+(d)) - #1310
Conversation
…(d) survive except two seam cases Premise audit against the Foreign contract's history: 663b879 sanctioned reading a computed mask back as a ForeignPlane; a9a3e9d withdrew it. The repair is ForeignPlane::resident as the only constructor, with no loop-state variant. The falsifier found no case needing mask-risc-owned loop state. Two seam cases (reachability fused with a fold; node-filtered reachability) need at most a typed kernel-owned iterate (b-lite). Two more probes pre-registered.

| **Mechanical vs semantic.** Physical compatibility (`&[u64]`, pub fields, `ir.rs:86-92`) is a found contract smell, not an established equivalence. | ||

| - **R1:** `ForeignPlane::resident(..)` is the ONLY constructor, and the fields become private. Precedent: dir-sim's `Kept` `compile_fail`. |

Making the fields private while exposing ForeignPlane::resident(..) does not prevent the defect this repair is meant to close: a caller can pass the slice backing a freshly produced Out::Mask to that constructor before the next execution. The proposed struct-literal compile-fail and the P-SEAM check for a “raw” literal would both pass even though the forbidden Keep/output-to-Gather pipeline still compiles. The constructor must require provenance that an output buffer cannot supply, or this must remain documented as an unenforced precondition rather than described as closing the gap.

| | reachability, then `AND pred` and `GROUP BY` | **breaks (d) as worded; SURVIVES as d′** | If the kernel returns `v_k`, the next fold could have consumed that population tile by tile: A1 by its letter. d′: for bounded k the kernel returns `v_{k-1}` (a true pipeline breaker), and mask-risc fuses the last step with pred and the fold. For unbounded `*`, returning the converged iterate is legitimate (convergence is a global test). | | ||

This case does not establish that (a)+(d) breaks: the subsequently specified F2 arm recomputes P from its resident row field tile-by-tile during each external-kernel step, which satisfies A1 without sinking a whole predicate plane and still computes reachability on the P-induced subgraph. F1 may eventually prove faster, but that unmeasured performance prediction does not make F2 invalid, so this row cannot support the following conclusion that node-filtered reachability requires b-lite.

| - n = 65,536, functional fk plus a 4-lane variant, predicate plus group key, k = 8. | ||
| - Arms: S1 (kernel returns `v_k`, then fold) vs S2 (d′). | ||
| - Exact against scalar BFS plus scalar group sum. | ||
| - S1 holds exactly one more population buffer. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The stated extra buffer does not follow from these arms. A double-buffered S1 kernel uses v_{k-1} and v_k while computing and retains v_k for the fold; S2 uses two buffers through step k-1 and retains v_{k-1} for the fused final step. Both therefore peak at two population buffers and retain one afterward unless S1 is deliberately implemented with an unnecessarily live scratch buffer. As written, this assertion will misclassify the P-SEAM memory result and should be replaced with explicit lifetime accounting.

Limit the b-lite claim to node-filtered reachability.
The bounded reachability/fold case in the table is handled by d′. Only the node-filtered case remains a possible reason for b-lite, subject to the open Quack and A1 questions.
Suggested wording
-The two breaking cases need **b-lite**: a kernel-owned iterate READ by mask-risc through a named type that is neither `ForeignPlane` nor `Kept`. That is exactly the auditor's **R3**, and a type that names provenance cannot prove it.

Follow-up to #1309. That PR merged before Round 2 of the chained-hop exploration map reached its branch. This PR adds only that section to
.claude/board/entries/2026-10-03-coresearch-chained-hop.md; nothing else changes.Round 2
The operator asked for two challenges before choosing anything.
Option (c): treating a computed
Out::Maskas aForeignPlaneis wrong as wordedThe premise audit (verdict: PREMISE-WRONG) used the Foreign contract's own commit history:
663b8792allowed a computed mask to be read back as aForeignPlane.a9a3e9d4withdrew that on the same day.foreignmust name a resident plane the caller holds.The repair, named correctly:
ForeignPlane::resident(..)becomes the only constructor, and the fields become private.ForeignPlane" is struck.Today only tests and doctests build
ForeignPlanefrom struct literals, and every one of them wraps a resident fixture plane.Options (a)+(d): the falsifier found no case that needs mask-risc to own loop state
Two seam cases need at most b-lite: a typed iterate that the external kernel owns and mask-risc reads.
v_{k-1}, and mask-risc fuses the last step with the fold (d′).Two new probes are pre-registered: P-SEAM and P-FILTERED. The full A1 amendment (b) is held.
This PR ratifies nothing; the operator chooses.
