Integration train 16. Three lanes, each reviewed and signed off on its own, merged --no-ff onto main @ b9c9bb50 (with rerere off).

Lanes

  • lane/readability-help-honest @ ad8c8b84: the --readability help, README and EVALS §8 now use the pinned v0.6.2 figure (96.0% of 412 pairs, 388/404) instead of a figure that does not reproduce. The help cites only docs/EVALS.md §8.
  • lane/reuse-decline-demotions @ 282fad56: adds gate arms for the reuse-decline demotions. A new kFacetAttrs row makes demoted new-clone-of-reused-helper rows emit idiom=. Top-level help now uses the kind name that is actually emitted.
  • lane/slice-defuse-order @ b19aee6e: --slice=SYM:VAR rows are in def-use order, and the root says so with order="defuse". Also adds an EVALS pre-registration and result, fixes a G4 bug (-- inside a full-tier XML comment), and adds slicecheck arm 10d.

Conflicts

  • The only textual conflict was test/printf_parity.manifest (help_all), in both the second and third merges. It is a generated file, so I took either side and re-pinned it (below).
  • src/cli.h, docs/EVALS.md and docs/COMMANDS.md merged cleanly. All three help hunks and both new EVALS sections are intact.

Regenerated artifacts (from the merged binary, not hand-merged)

  • test/printf_parity.manifest: UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 UPDATE_GOLDEN_EXPECT=help_all. Only help_all moved; the other 41 are unchanged.
  • docs/COMMANDS.md: rebuilt with docs_commands_build.py. The clean textual merge had carried the slice lane's stale dictv=fd7a59c7… (from before its fix round). The merged binary emits dictv=2d9cec7852fd809b entries=704.
  • docs/captures/COMMANDS_showcase_2026-09-14.md: the recorded --legend-dict size was 68,575 B, which is the value from the slice lane's c02f8f2d. Its fix round b19aee6e made the order= definition exactly 57 B longer and did not update the figure. The merged binary gives 68,632 B on 705 lines; dictv and entries match what the capture already records.
  • gatecount_build.py --check (647) and limits_build.py --check both pass.

Fix found by the train suite

  • portablebuildcheck Front page: drop the pilot anecdote from the hero #6/#6b failed on the slice lane's new sliceDefUseRowOrder: std::sort/std::binary_search over string_view used the default comparator, which aborts the Linux G1 leg. This was already red at the lane tip; the gate was not in the lane's signoff list. Fixed in 847c9d89 with rw::sortutil::svLess, which gives the same total order, so the output does not change. slicecheck, sliceflowcheck, sliceflowsenscheck and mcpslicecheck pass.

Verification (head 847c9d89)

  • pargates -j 6: gates=662 pass=659 skip=3 fail=0. The skips are environment-only: argvdiffcheck and editchecknotecheck (no base reference binary), g1freshcheck (no asan tree).
  • Determinism: two default-map runs diff -q identical. xmllint --noout clean.
  • --quality-delta=b9c9bb50..HEAD: gating=0, target_ref == HEAD, clean tree. It reports three rows and none gate: sliceDefUseRowOrder complexity 16 against a bar of 15 (origin=new-symbol), plus two sev="minor" +1-line verbosity rows on kHelpHead and kCompactAttributeReadings.
  • Merge-specific checks: --help=all exits 0 and each lane's help change appears exactly once, with no stale reuse-decline), 484 or t14-cleanup text. --slice=mix:x emits rows 4,2,5 with order="defuse". A demoted new-clone-of-reused-helper row carries sev="minor" idiom="threshold-ladder".

Supersedes the three lane branches; no lane PRs were opened.

…e root states

slicecheck (order): mix:x must emit 4,2,5 (def-use coverage desc, then line) with order="defuse" on
the root, defined in both legend tiers and --help, and a flow run must keep the seed rows in that order.
Red on origin/main 15a2085 (all six assertions): rows come out 2,4,5 in source order, unstated.

PRE-REGISTERED (2026-09-22, written before any src/ change and before any number below was computed):

Rule under test: R1 def-use coverage. A --slice=SYM:VAR row's score is the number of distinct
sliceable locals with an occurrence on that line; rows emit score-descending, then line ascending,
then binding line ascending (file is constant: one definition). Zero fitted parameters.

Measurement: bench/slice/run_slice_linerecall.py from lane/research-arise-slice (LocBench V1 test,
py single-function rows), plus one scratch arm that reads the EMITTED order: per (scored instance,
inventory variable) whose v1 rows hold a gold line, Recall@{1,3,5,10,20} and MRR of the l= values in
emission order against gold & rows, versus a uniform random permutation of the same rows (200
shuffles, seed 20260920, own RNG). Population: every inventory variable (unseeded); the gold-touched
subset is reported beside it, never instead of it.

Decision: ADOPT R1 ordering iff the new binary's emitted-order MRR beats the random control's MRR on
the all-inventory population. Otherwise stop ranking: emit in source order, and state that order in
the header as a presentation order, not a ranking.

…ot says so (order="defuse")

The seed rows came out in source order with nothing on the root naming it. Measured on the
lane/research-arise-slice harness (LocBench V1 test, py single-function rows, 173 scored
instances, 478 instance x variable pairs holding a gold line), source order pinpoints a gold line
WORSE than a uniform shuffle of the same rows: MRR 0.525 vs 0.602, @1 0.198 vs 0.268.

Rows now emit by def-use coverage (distinct sliceable-local NAMES with an occurrence on the line —
unbound identifiers such as a called builtin do not count), descending, then line, then binding
line, then fold index: a total order, zero fitted parameters. Emitted order after: MRR 0.628,
@1 0.285, @3 0.743, @5 0.847 (random 0.602 / 0.268 / 0.676 / 0.827); @10/@20 tie the shuffle
(0.937 vs 0.939, 0.983 vs 0.983). The pre-registered rule (first commit of this lane: adopt iff
emitted-order MRR beats the random control) is met. In-sample, legitimately: nothing was fitted.
The emitted order equals the harness's own R1 over the same rows on 478/478 pairs.

The root carries order="defuse" in VAR mode (flow runs too: the seed rows keep this order, the flow
rows keep their stated (d=, l=, v=) order); the full legend, the compact slice legend, the default
compact layer's slice readings and --help define it. The inventory (<v>) order is unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… what the new reading moved

- The full legend's order="defuse" clause is cut to one line: sliceflowcheck (30b) holds the v1
  legend to 4,608 B and the longer clause took it to 4,808 B.
- sliceflowsenscheck's sentinel re-derives the SOURCE-order reaching rule from the tool's own rows;
  it walked them in emission order, which is no longer line order. It now sorts by line first.
  Every rd= value is still checked row by row, unchanged.
- The new compact reading adds one dictionary entry: the showcase capture's recorded --legend-dict
  figure is corrected in place (dictv=fd7a59c7c536eb85 entries=704, 68,575 B on 705 lines), and
  docs/COMMANDS.md is regenerated from it and from the new --help.
- printf_parity.manifest re-pins help_all: the --slice help entry moved on purpose.

…v0.6.2 figures

--readability's --help text, README.md and docs/COMMANDS.md quoted "484 matched
pairs ... 30.2%" for the construct-validity proxy. That number came from an
unpinned `git log --all` walk over a clone whose branch set changes every time
a lane is pushed, and does not reproduce (413/38.3% and 409/38.4% on reruns
that touched nothing in src/readability.h).

Pinned to the immutable v0.6.2 tag, the same instrument gives 412 function
pairs, 154 right-direction (37.4%), and the inversion is mechanical: the sign
of a function's token-count change predicts the lens's direction in 96.0% of
pairs (388/404), with Halstead volume driving 91.1% of the wrong-direction
pairs. Source: docs/research/readability-construct-validity.md §3a/§3c on
lane/research-readability-validity @9aecbc96.

The retracted 484/30.2% figure is kept visible as history in docs/EVALS.md §8
rather than silently replaced. docs/COMMANDS.md is regenerated via
docs/docs_commands_build.py, never hand-edited. test/printf_parity.manifest's
help_all entry is re-pinned (UPDATE_GOLDEN=1) to the new --help bytes; the
verified diff moves exactly that one entry.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…om shipped help

The previous fix for the non-reproducing 484/30.2% figure landed shipped
--help text that pointed a reader at `(lane/research-readability-validity
@9aecbc96)` and carried an internal label, `MEASURED (t14-cleanup #8,
revised)`. Neither resolves for a reader of a released binary, and the
research lane may never merge — nothing that ships should depend on an
unmerged branch to be understood.

--help now states only what it needs to: the pinned v0.6.2 measurement
(412 pairs, 96.0% token-count-sign agreement) and how to read a move,
trimmed from a nine-line paragraph to six, with the secondary figures
(37.4%, 91.1%, the retracted 484/30.2% history) left to docs/EVALS.md §8
where they already lived. README's matching parenthetical now points at
EVALS §8 alone instead of the branch/commit. EVALS §8 itself keeps citing
the research note's derivation, but by PR (#313, open) rather than by
branch name and commit — the standard way to reference draft work that
may not land.

docs/COMMANDS.md regenerated via docs/docs_commands_build.py;
test/printf_parity.manifest re-pinned (UPDATE_GOLDEN=1) — the verified
diff moves exactly help_all.

… demotions, fix the idiom disclosure gap

reportReusedClones (new-clone-of-reused-helper) already reuses reportNewClones's idiom demotion
(CloneIdiomVerdict::demoted) and all-test-script skip (isTestScriptPath) as of 5a31662 — verified
ancestor of this branch's own base, landed by an earlier session via train-13. That commit shipped
without a dedicated behavioral gate for either demotion on THIS kind, so test/qualitykindscheck.sh's
§3 NEW-CLONE-OF-REUSED-HELPER section gains three arms:

  - 3c: an idiom-shaped collision (the threshold-ladder pair test/cloneidiomcheck.sh already proves
    demotes `duplication`) containing a preexisting fan-in>=3 helper must demote to sev="minor", not
    gate — reusing the SAME CloneIdiomVerdict, never a second idiom test.
  - 3d: a clone group entirely composed of test scripts (a preexisting fan-in>=3 shell helper cloned
    by a new sibling gate script, both under test/*.sh) must be skipped outright — no row at all.
  - 3b strengthened into an explicit CONTROL: a genuine, non-idiom, non-test-script reuse-decline
    still carries gating="1" with no sev="minor"/idiom= — proving the demotions narrow the kind
    without blunting it.

Proved red-first by temporarily reverting quality.h's `vd.demoted` (used `false` unconditionally,
matching the described defect) and the allTestScript continue, rebuilding, and confirming both new
arms failed (exit 2, gating="1") before restoring the real source.

While wiring 3c, found a real gap the T13 fix left behind: quality.h's kFacetAttrs table (the single
kind->attribute-name map every emitter — XML, JSON, MCP — reads through facetAttrName) had no entry
for "new-clone-of-reused-helper", so a demoted row correctly carried sev="minor" but never printed
idiom=, silently dropping the disclosure the legend promises ("the name is printed so the call can
be overruled by reading"). Added the missing table row; no emitter branch changes since all three
already call facetAttrName generically.

Verified: qual*/clone*/legend*/mcp* gate families (71 gates) all pass; qschemetripcheck.sh confirms
no kQSnapCacheScheme bump is needed (report-time demotion only, no Snapshot semantics changed);
determinism and xmllint hold; --edit-check on facetAttrName/kFacetAttrs reports unchanged contracts.

…tually spells it

The top-level --help summary for --quality-delta listed the ten kinds ending in "reuse-decline", an
informal name that never appears in emitted output: the kind= value (src/quality.h), the verb's own
legend (src/verbs_quality.h) and docs/COMMANDS.md all say "new-clone-of-reused-helper". A reader of
the catalog grepping for what they just saw in a report would not find it in --help. The emitted name
wins; renamed the --help line only, never an emitted attribute value.

Re-pinned test/printf_parity.manifest with UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 UPDATE_GOLDEN_EXPECT="help_all" — the gate
confirmed exactly that one label moved (was red on help_all only before the re-pin, confirming the
manifest's own byte-parity check catches this class of drift). Regenerated docs/COMMANDS.md via
docs/docs_commands_build.py (never by hand); the diff is the same one-word substitution.

… and close a pre-existing G4 comment bug

MEDIUM (adversarial review rv-slice-defuse): the --help/COMMANDS.md comparative claim about order="defuse"
had no in-tree measurement record, and src/slice.h's comment cited docs/research/slice-line-recall.md,
which exists only on the unmerged lane/research-arise-slice. docs/EVALS.md now carries the pre-registration
(quoted from 48a4f07) and the measured result: population corrected to "478 pairs whose rows hold a gold
line" (not "all inventory", which the scratch arm's own label overstated), the before/after/control table
at @1/@3/@5/@10/@20/MRR, the control's shuffle spread and paired-bootstrap CI, the per-pair split (182
better / 227 worse / 69 tied — the gain concentrated at @1/@3), and the Python-only, in-sample scope. Both
the --help clause and the slice.h comment now point at that section instead of the absent doc, and the
--help comparative clause is narrowed to what the table actually shows ("puts a gold line first more often
than a random shuffle") rather than the unqualified "ranks above it" the per-pair split does not support.

LOW: "distinct sliceable locals" in both legend tiers, --help and the compact "order" reading said locals
(bindings) where the code counts distinct binding NAMES on one line (Go `v := v + 1` counts one, not two);
reworded to "distinct local names" everywhere it appears. The compact "order" reading also implied every
<s> row is reordered by this rule; scoped it to "seed s rows (no v=)" and stated that flow rows keep their
own (d=,l=,v=) order, which the full legend already documents.

Pre-existing G4 bug, fixed here rather than tracked (both on this lane and on origin/main 15a2085, not
introduced by this lane): the --slice-flow full-tier legend's own XML comment mentioned "seed --at=" —
a literal double-hyphen inside an XML comment, which xmllint rejects. Every well-formedness arm in
slicecheck.sh/sliceflowcheck.sh/sliceflowsenscheck.sh before this commit only linted the DEFAULT (compact)
tier, so nothing caught it. Reworded both the full-tier flow addendum and the (unreachable at runtime, but
textually identical) compact-branch mirror in sliceLegendText to name the flag without its dashes, matching
the house convention already documented throughout graphlegend.h and friends. Swept every other XML-comment
-emitting call site in src/ for the same class (adjacent-string-literal join across all 49 <!-- --> sites)
and found no other occurrence. Added slicecheck.sh arm (10d): --legend=full well-formedness for plain and
--slice-flow=both, proven red against both this lane's pre-fix binary and the reviewer's own 15a2085 build.

Re-derived: sliceflowcheck (30b) legend budget 4600/4608 (v1) and 1388/1400 (flow addendum, more headroom
than before); printf_parity.manifest re-pins help_all (only label moved, UPDATE_GOLDEN_EXPECT confirmed);
docs/COMMANDS.md regenerated; the showcase capture's --legend-dict figure corrected in place to the new
dictv (entries unchanged at 704), the same in-place-correction shape c02f8f2 already used for this exact
line.

…inary

All three lanes edited src/cli.h help text, so each lane's generated pins
were valid only for its own binary.

- test/printf_parity.manifest: UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 with UPDATE_GOLDEN_EXPECT=help_all;
  moved={help_all}, 41 unchanged.
- docs/COMMANDS.md: docs_commands_build.py --bin build/ripwire. The textual
  merge carried the slice lane's pre-fix-round dictv=fd7a59c7c536eb85; the
  merged binary emits dictv=2d9cec7852fd809b entries=704.
- docs/captures/COMMANDS_showcase_2026-09-14.md: the --legend-dict block's
  byte figure recorded 68,575 B, the c02f8f2 value; b19aee6 lengthened the
  order= definition by exactly 57 B without re-deriving it. The merged
  binary's --legend-dict is 68,632 B on 705 lines (dictv/entries unchanged).

…he default comparator

Found by the train-16 full suite: portablebuildcheck #6/#6b failed on
src/slice.h's new sliceDefUseRowOrder (std::sort + std::binary_search over
vector<string_view>, and std::sort over vector<pair<uint32_t, string_view>>,
all with the default comparator, which aborts the Linux G1 leg). The gate
was already red at the lane tip b19aee6; the lane's signoff gate list did
not include it. This is not a merge interaction.

svLess is the same total order operator< defines (infra/sortutil.h), so the
emitted row order is unchanged; slicecheck, sliceflowcheck,
sliceflowsenscheck and mcpslicecheck pass on the fixed binary.

Comment thread README.md Outdated
"Halstead volume drove 91.1% of the pairs where the lens ran opposite the
commit's direction (154/412, 37.4%, ran the commit's own direction)" put the
right-direction count directly after the opposite-direction clause, so 154/412
read as the population the 91.1% describes. It is the complement. Both counts
are now named: 154 (37.4%) ran with the commit, 258 (62.6%) ran opposite, and
the 91.1% is of those 258. EVALS section 8 names the 258 too, so the README no
longer states a figure its own cited derivation does not.

Owner decision 2026-09-22: the ordering claim is withdrawn (the flag orders
by Halstead volume/token count, not readability), so the NAME was the last
thing overclaiming. --biggest-first promises almost nothing and delivers
exactly that.

- kBoolFlags row renamed to --biggest-first (same Config::readability
  member; the field itself is not renamed). --readability becomes a
  hand-written alias (deprecatedReadabilityFlag, same one-shot-per-run
  stderr shape as deprecatedOrderFlag's --stable/--most-important-last/
  --no-auto-order): it still works, is dropped from --help, and prints
  "ripwire: --readability is deprecated -- use --biggest-first instead" to
  STDERR exactly once. stdout is byte-identical between the two spellings
  (proved for the default map, --json and --legend=compact; new gate arm
  H in test/readabilitycheck.sh, RED on the base binary, GREEN on this
  one). kHandWrittenFlagArms 22->23, kTotalFlagArms 212->213.
- Coordinator-flagged defect in the base lane (readability-withdraw-
  ordering @ 47725a7): that lane rewrote the one-line --help summary to
  drop the ordering claim but left the detail body ("LEAST readable
  first") and the Config field comment asserting it, directly
  contradicting the same entry's own WITHDRAWN paragraph. Fixed here
  (src/cli.h ~194/~1383, src/verbs_quality.h dispatch comment,
  skills/ripwire-fresh-eyes/SKILL.md, the showcase caption) to say what
  the order IS -- largest Halstead volume/token-count/length first, a
  size proxy, never a readability order. caught-by: review (train 17
  builder), site src/cli.h help block.
- Renamed the FLAG only. Left untouched, and confirmed unchanged in the
  gates that pin them: the emitted XML root <readability>,
  schema="ripwire.readability/v1", compactlegend.h's rootTag/key/onTag/
  onKey, every emitted attribute, and src/lintcatalog.h's unrelated
  cat="readability" (--lint rule category). --ensemble's and
  --quality-panel's own emitted legend wording ("readability lens/rank")
  is unchanged -- it describes the still-unrenamed XML tag, so leaving it
  is consistent rather than a skip.
- README.md, docs/COMMANDS.md (regenerated from this binary), the
  COMMANDS_showcase_2026-09-14.md caption/heading (hand-edited in place,
  never re-recorded), present/deck5_ripwire_build.js, skills/ripwire-
  fresh-eyes/SKILL.md and test/showcase_capture.py updated to the new
  name; test/deckcheck_allowlist.txt and test/flagsurfacecheck.sh's/
  test/helpbudgetcheck.sh's deprecated-alias exemption lists gained a
  --readability row mirroring --stable's.
- CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased]: the rename; PR redhat-et#321's carried-forward entry
  on the construct-validity caveat's retracted proxy number (closed
  unmerged, superseded before it shipped); and train 16's three lanes
  (PR redhat-et#322, merged 2026-09-22, ships in the next release) -- that section
  was never written.
- test/printf_parity.manifest: re-pinned help/help_all only (UPDATE_
  GOLDEN=1; confirmed via diff that exactly those two rows moved, twice).
  Both rows hash the FULL --help/--help=all text, so they move on any
  wording change to this block regardless of a per-flag entry -- the
  base lane's own commit re-pinned the same two rows for its own
  addition to this entry, for the same reason.
- Gates naming readability, plus readmedriftcheck/deckcheck/docscommands
  check/ripwirepubliccheck/dispatchordercheck/helpbudgetcheck/printffmt
  paritycheck/mcpcontractcheck/gatecountcheck and the mandatory source-
  grep sweep over this change's file list: green.
