Run the fallback for partially changed consumer versions.
This condition skips the fallback when any consumer version remains common.
For example, if app 1.0 becomes app 3.0 while app 2.0 remains in both locks, the set intersection is nonempty. A dependency downgrade from app 1.0 to app 3.0 is then never compared.
Apply the fallback to versions in bver[cname] - nver[cname] and nver[cname] - bver[cname]. Add a regression case with one retained consumer version and one changed consumer version.

Count successful comparisons instead of parsed before-edges.
len(be) counts edges parsed from the before-lock. It does not count edges compared across both locks.
If the after-lock parses to no edges, be remains nonempty, downs remains empty, and the zero-edge guard does not run. The gate then reports success although it compared nothing.
Increment the coverage count only when an exact or fallback edge comparison occurs. Return that count from analyse.

`aeaa912c1d` bumped rustls to 0.23.45 for RUSTSEC-2026-0285. A branch that CONTAINS that commit resolves rustls to 0.23.44, because a merge regenerated `Cargo.lock`. `Cargo.lock` appears in `.github/workflows` only as a cache key, so an input that determines every built artifact is rewritten by tooling during merges and no test can fail when it moves the wrong way. PER-CONSUMER, NOT PER-PACKAGE-MAX. A dependency is downgraded only when a consumer present in BOTH locks resolves it lower. `max(after) >= max(before)` cannot distinguish a downgrade from a REMOVAL: on the real pair it reported three findings of which two were false (crc 3.4.0 and crc-catalog 2.5.0 left with the deleted sqlx-* crates; the one shared consumer, swc_bundler, resolves crc@2.1.0 on BOTH sides), and both would have blocked a correct merge. Edges are keyed on (consumer NAME, consumer VERSION) — name alone recreates that conflation one level down, since main carries crc@2.1.0 AND crc@3.4.0 wanting different crc-catalogs. TWO FALSE NEGATIVES FIXED FROM REVIEW. Both are the direction that matters: a gate that misses a downgrade is worse than no gate, because it is believed. 1. THE DENOMINATOR COUNTED THE WRONG POPULATION. It reported edges parsed from the BEFORE lock. If the after-lock parses to none, those edges are still there, no downgrade is found, and the run reports a large reassuring number for having compared nothing — the exact confusion the denominator was added to make impossible, inside the fix for it. It now counts COMPARISONS MADE, and zero comparisons is a hard failure. 2. THE BUMPED-CONSUMER FALLBACK DID NOT RUN ON A PARTIAL CHANGE. Gating it on "the consumer's version sets are disjoint" means app@1.0 + app@2.0 before and app@2.0 + app@3.0 after intersects at 2.0, so the consumer is skipped entirely and the 1.0 -> 3.0 move is compared by neither rule. It is now per VERSION. The trap inside that fix: a vanished consumer version is not always a bump. crc@3.4.0 did not become anything — it left, taking crc-catalog@2.5.0 with it. So the fallback requires a strictly HIGHER version of the same consumer to exist in the new lock; without one it is a drop, and drops are reported, never failed. Verified on the real locks: main -> the branch flags rustls and nothing else; main -> main passes across 3,327 compared edges, matching the reference implementation's count. Also corrected against that reference: its flat `re.split(r"[.+-]", v)` key sorts a PRE-RELEASE ABOVE its release, because the extra components make it the longer tuple. The real locks cannot reveal it — their pre-release findings are downgrades on the numeric part alone. Semver says `1.2.3-rc.1 < 1.2.3`, and shipping a release candidate over a release is the backwards move this refuses. Self-test, 12 cases, run by `lint`, and it asserts the denominator as well as the verdict: a case that compared nothing fails rather than passing, because its verdict would be vacuous. It leads with the shapes the REAL DATA contains — a shared consumer resolving lower (must fire), a higher version whose every consumer is absent (must not fire), a partially overlapping consumer (must fire), an after-lock with no edges (must fail) — because the twelve greens that preceded the review covered the shapes the predicate was designed for, not the population the data holds. Three times today the same way: the population was wrong, not the polarity. NOT WIRED AS A PR LINT. `--vs <merge-base>` is for merge tooling to call; only the self-test runs here, and wiring is merge-agent's (#10980).

Both review findings fixed —
|
| arm | result |
|---|---|
main → branch |
rustls only, rc=1 |
main → main |
clean, 3,327 compared edges — the reference's count |
| the merge that wrote the branch's lock | clean (it did not cause the rustls move) |
The finding count on the first arm went 10 → 7. The three that dropped were workspace consumers at an older release, correctly reclassified as drops rather than bumps — duplicate evidence for the same finding, not a lost one. rustls is still flagged, by 7 exact-consumer matches.
The self-test now asserts the denominator too
A case that compared nothing fails rather than passing, because its verdict would be vacuous. Two of the twelve fixtures turned out to be exactly that and had to be given a stable consumer — they were asserting "nothing was comparable", dressed as "this does not fire".
12 cases, leading with the shapes the real data contains: a shared consumer resolving lower (must fire), a higher version whose every consumer is absent (must not fire), a partially overlapping consumer (must fire), an after-lock with no edges (must fail).
Three times today the same lesson, and it is not "test the negative" — I had three must-not-fire cases before the review. It is that the population was wrong, not the polarity: the cases were derived from the rule I had invented, so they could not contain a shape the rule had no concept of.

Closes the class in #10980: a regenerated
Cargo.lockcan silently un-land a security fix, and nothing asserts on lock contents.Rewritten after
merge-agentfound a false positive in my first predicate. The rewrite is the important part of this PR.The incident
aeaa912c1dbumped rustls to 0.23.45 for RUSTSEC-2026-0285. A branch that contains that commit resolves rustls to 0.23.44, because a merge regenerated the lock.Cargo.lockappears in.github/workflowsonly as a cache key, so an input that determines every built artifact is rewritten by tooling during merges and no test can fail when it moves the wrong way.Why the obvious predicate is wrong
My first version asked
max(after) >= max(before)per package. That cannot distinguish a downgrade from a removal. On the real pair it produced three findings, two of them false:rustls 0.23.45 → 0.23.44crc 3.4.0 → 2.1.0crc@3.4.0's only consumers were thesqlx-*crates, and the branch deletes the pg/mysql2 bindingscrc-catalog 2.5.0 → 1.1.1The one shared
crcconsumer,swc_bundler, resolvescrc@2.1.0on both sides. Nothing moved backwards; the higher version left with its consumers.Both false findings would have blocked a correct merge. A gate must be trustworthy when it goes RED, not only when it is green — one that blocks correct work gets bypassed, and then it protects nothing.
"Contains the fix and resolves below it" is a good diagnostic line and is not the test: the crc case contains nothing, resolves nothing backwards, and the old rule fired on it anyway.
The predicate now
A dependency is downgraded only when a consumer present in both locks resolves it lower.
Edges are keyed on (consumer name, consumer version). Name alone recreates the same conflation one level down — main carries
crc@2.1.0andcrc@3.4.0wanting differentcrc-catalogs. A name-level fallback applies only to consumers whose own version changed, so a bumped consumer cannot hide a downgrade behind its own bump. Removals-with-consumers are reported, never failed.Verified against the real locks
Matches the reference implementation on both arms:
main → branch: flags rustls and nothing else, via 10 shared consumersmain → main: passes across 3,327 registry dependency edgesTwo corrections the reference does not have
Pre-release ordering. Its flat
re.split(r"[.+-]", v)key sorts a pre-release above its release, because the extra components make it the longer tuple. The real locks never exercised it — their pre-release findings (pkcs1 0.8.0-rc.4 → 0.7.5,rsa 0.10.0-rc.18 → 0.9.10) are downgrades on the numeric part alone — so a proof run against them cannot see it. Semver says1.2.3-rc.1 < 1.2.3, and shipping a release candidate over a release is exactly the backwards move this refuses. My own self-test caught it, which is the one case where a synthetic test earned its place here.A denominator on the green path. It now prints
3,327 edges checked, and zero edges is a hard failure. A gate that reports "clean" without saying how much it examined cannot be told apart from one that examined nothing — an unfetched ref, an unparsable lock, a filter that excluded everything. That is #10944 at suite scale.Self-test, 10 cases, run by
lintIt leads with the two real shapes: a shared consumer resolving lower (must fire), and a higher version whose every consumer is absent (must not fire). The rest — the two-consumer-versions trap, a bumped consumer, upgrade, unchanged, addition, workspace bump, pre-release, unorderable component — generalise outward from those.
The earlier suite had twelve greens on a predicate that mis-fired on two of its three real findings. It covered the shapes the predicate was designed for, including three must-not-fire ones, and missed the population the data actually contains. Real data first, then generalise into self-tests — not the other way round.
