Reviewer's GuideThe PR centralizes fence classification and compression safety in a shared production transition kernel, routes existing tracking and rewriting through it, and verifies the kernel plus a one-sided region-preservation theorem with Verus, mutation testing, witnesses, and corpus-wide executable checks. Recognition remains outside the proof boundary, and the full lint/typecheck/test gates were not run locally because of a shared Cargo cache lock.

@docs/execplans/issue-486-proof-fence-transition-kernel-and-lem-fence-normalization-preserves-regions.md:
- Around line 373-378: Update obligations 3 and 4 in the proof plan to match the
delivered proof: state obligation 3 as the one-sided non-closing
guarded-interior lemma over parsed LineFeatures, with both runs classifying the
line as Literal, and retain the mutation-gate requirement for the marker check.
Scope obligation 4 to pre-parsed block bodies whose lines satisfy the
compression guard; describe complete-pass equality as executable corpus evidence
from M4, not a general Verus theorem, and retain the issue #480 corpus test.
Review comments at @tests/fence_regions.rs:
- Around line 96-108: Update assert_regions_preserved to record paths whose
reads fail or whose contents are not UTF-8, then assert that no fixtures were
skipped after the sweep; apply the same handling to the corresponding loop
around normalize_fixture_regions.
- Around line 237-247: Update the literal-line preservation check in the test to
classify output lines with classify_regions, filter to Region::Literal, and
compare each source literal line against the next output literal line in order.
Afterward, assert that no output literal lines remain, rejecting both missing,
changed, and extra literal lines.

Taking PR #588 out of draft started the GitHub App review, which reviewed the same commit as the passing CLI round and returned a materially stricter result. The lesson is that a clean CLI pass does not establish that the PR is clean, because the two are separate reviewers with separate rule sets. Add the hosted-review remediation as a progress entry, the four fixes that landed in 4c3b4c5, and the split that landed in 9288d42. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
…Plan The closing-fence rule the kernel implements is now cross-checked against the normative sentences of CommonMark §4.5, and the gate sweep's contention on the shared Cargo package-cache lock is recorded as infrastructure rather than as a code failure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The three remaining Cargo gates are blocked by a closed wait cycle inside another agent's process tree: the holder of the exclusive lock on `.package-cache-mutate` is parked in `do_wait`, its child is parked in `futex_wait_queue`, and that child's own cargo job is parked in `locks_lock_inode_wait` on the lock its grandparent holds. CPU counters are flat across a 100-minute sample and no `rustc` has run for the whole period, so the lock will not release on its own. Forty-six processes are queued behind it. Record the evidence, note that `--offline` still contends for the same lock so there is no supported route around it, and mark this as the escalation the plan's Tolerances section exists to catch: clearing it means killing another agent's job, which is outside this work's authority. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
`assert_regions_preserved` reads each fixture with `let Ok(..) else
{ continue }`, so it never propagates a failure and its `Result` return is
unnecessary. Clippy's `unnecessary_wraps` rejected it under `-D warnings`.
Caught by CI rather than locally: the shared Cargo package-cache lock is
held in a deadlock, so `make lint` could not run on this machine. The
parallel assertion that does use `?` — `assert_literal_lines_survive`,
which constructs a `TempDir` — keeps its `Result`.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
Removing the helper's unused `Result` left its caller with no `?` either, so clippy's `unnecessary_wraps` fired here next. Both sweep tests that only assert are now plain `fn`; the two functions that still construct a `TempDir` or read a formatted file keep theirs, and both use `?`. Detected by the CI lint job, which is the only place `make lint` can currently run: the local Cargo package-cache lock remains deadlocked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The draft PR's `build-test` job caught two `clippy::unnecessary_wraps` errors in `tests/fence_regions.rs` that the local lint gate could not see, and now passes lint, format, markdownlint, and the full suite (2544 run, 2544 passed, 0 skipped, 0 failed). Also note that the four Verus gates are lock-independent — they run `rust_verify` through `uvx` and never touch the Cargo package cache — so a green Verus run says nothing about whether a Cargo gate has been attempted.

Clears all 11 distinct findings from `coderabbit review --agent --base main` (16 finding entries). None was a correctness defect in the proof; the two major ones were API documentation and test structure. The substantive change is in `ObservedFence`. `ParsedLine::observe` was calling `features_of_line(line)`, a second full regex pass over a line the tracker had already parsed, because `ObservedFence` carried only the structural `(indent, marker, info)` capture. Exposing the features the tracker already computed lets `compress.rs` consume them directly. That made `features_of_line` dead in production, so it is deleted along with its re-exports; the parent's `line_features` remains the single producer of kernel features. Also: - Drop the production `.expect()` in `start_fence_block`, handling a missing marker by falling through to the verbatim push instead of panicking. - Document `Region` and `classify_regions` in the `wrap` re-export block. - Consolidate the four `compression_predicate_*` tests into one `#[rstest]` table, and fix the doc comment that contradicted its own assertion. - Compare whole output lines rather than substrings in the corpus sweep, so a literal line cannot be "found" inside a longer rewritten one. - Add `verus-fence-mutation` to `.PHONY`. - Correct the field count in the `verus/lib.rs` `View` doc and the scope restriction in the `spec_rewrite_permitted` doc. - Correct the ExecPlan trace path and bring its Outcomes and Progress into agreement. `make verus` reports 81 verified, 0 errors; `make verus-selftest`, `make verus-fence-mutation`, `make markdownlint`, `make check-static-regexes`, `make check-verification-ledger`, and `cargo fmt --check` pass locally. `make lint`, `make typecheck`, and `make test` remain blocked by the shared package-cache deadlock and are delegated to CI.

The whole-line comparison added in d5e6232 failed in CI on `tests/data/document/mixed_in_fence.dat`, in both `build-test` and the Windows `atomic write contract` job. The cause is not a fence defect. The I/O boundary selects one line ending for the whole document and re-applies it to every line (ADR 0007, `src/io/line_endings.rs`), so that CRLF-majority fixture is emitted entirely as CRLF even where the source used a bare line feed. `lines_of` keeps the `\r` as line content, so the previous `output.contains(line)` assertion had been passing only because a substring match ignores terminators, and comparing raw split lines fails for every deliberately mixed-ending fixture. Strip the terminator from both sides and document why. The payload text still has to match exactly, and the binary confirms on that fixture that `echo hi` survives the full flag set. The weaker assertion was also worse in a second way: it would have accepted a literal line that a pass had merged into a longer one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
CI passes at `e810a01`: 2544 tests run, 2544 passed, 0 skipped, with Format, Markdown lint, Lint, and the Windows `atomic write contract` job all green. Record that, note that the whole-line comparison finding was substantive rather than cosmetic, and open the next Progress item as the CodeRabbit re-run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The re-run returned 3 findings across 2 files, down from 16 across 10. `src/wrap/tests/fence_tracker.rs`: the shared doc above the two region-classification witnesses said an interior marker "never becomes literal", which is backwards — the interior three-backtick line is literal in both witnesses. What actually differs is the trailing line: four backticks closes the opener and is itself a delimiter, three is too short and stays literal interior content. Said so. The ExecPlan: the Outcomes paragraph still credited the CI gate results to `58d4fca` while Progress credited `e810a01`, which is the revision the gates actually ran on. Both now name `e810a01`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The ExecPlan claimed the proof relied on no external contracts, but every fence row in the verification ledger names "fence recognition and blockquote parsing" in its assumptions column. The claim was wrong in the direction that matters: it read as though the obligations covered the parse, when they hold only for pre-parsed line features. State the contract explicitly, name where the ledger records it, and reduce the residual-gaps paragraph to a pointer rather than a second restatement of the same boundary. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
Round 4 returned zero findings, so the concern list is empty and the PR is clear to leave draft. Record the gate results, the CI run ids at b53a7e9, and two findings worth keeping visible: the mutation gate cannot show its own evidence on the pass path because it deletes its temporary directory in a trap, and the review was run against origin/main rather than a local main ref that was 29 commits stale.

All five M5 items are closed: gates green, CodeRabbit rounds 4 clean, and PR #588 out of draft with the required title, Closes line, and session link. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The hosted review found that a line which drops below the open fence's blockquote depth and then opens a fresh fence leaves both states `Some`, so `report_fence_marker` matched the "unchanged" arm with reason `incompatible_active_opener`. Subscribers filtering for state changes missed both the implicit close and the new open. Add a dedicated replacement arm and pin it with a traced test that also asserts the content-free contract. Also address the hosted review's findings on the corpus sweep: a fixture that cannot be read or is not UTF-8 now fails the sweep instead of being skipped, so a corpus read in part cannot pass; and the literal-line check walks both literal subsequences in step rather than testing membership, which rejects a merged, reordered, or duplicated line that the old `contains` check would have accepted. Restate verification obligations 3 and 4 to match the one-sided lemma and the pre-parsed interior scope the proof actually delivers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
`fence_tracker.rs` had grown to 478 lines, past the 400-line limit AGENTS.md sets and this ExecPlan lists as a constraint. The growth came from the kernel-level cases added by this work: the batch `classify_regions` witnesses and the compression-predicate table, which exercise the pure kernel rather than the streaming tracker. Move them to `fence_kernel_tests`, following the split that already exists for `fence_tracker_logging`, and drop the imports that became unused. The file is back to 384 lines and the kernel cases now sit with the concern they test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
Taking PR #588 out of draft started the GitHub App review, which reviewed the same commit as the passing CLI round and returned a materially stricter result. The lesson is that a clean CLI pass does not establish that the PR is clean, because the two are separate reviewers with separate rule sets.

The sweeps split documents on the line feed alone and kept the carriage
return as line content, but the product never produces such a line: it
parses a document into a `SourceDocument`, which strips a leading
byte-order mark, and then splits with `str::lines`, so a line never
carries its terminator.
The mismatch was not benign. `FENCE_RE` excludes carriage returns from
its info capture, so a delimiter carrying a stray `\r` is not
recognised as a fence at all. On `tests/data/document/mixed_in_fence.dat`
that misfiled the closing delimiter as literal content on the input
side, and classified the CRLF output as unbroken prose, leaving the
output-side literal subsequence empty. The comparison then failed with
`left: None, right: Some("echo hi")`, which is the build-test failure
this commit clears.
Split both sides through one helper that mirrors the product, and drop
`line_content`, whose terminator-stripping rationale no longer applies
once neither side carries a terminator.
This also makes the fence-compression sweep real on the eight
carriage-return fixtures, where no fence was previously recognised and
the sweep compared all-prose against all-prose. Verified against the
whole corpus through the real binary: 153 fixtures, zero mismatches,
and the walk still detects the issue #480 defect.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The first explanation put the build-test failure down to ADR 0007 re-applying one line ending to the whole document, and the fix was to strip the terminator before comparing. That made the assertion pass locally and the same failure returned in CI, because the real defect was upstream: the sweep's line model disagreed with the product's. Record the corrected diagnosis, and note that sweep #1 was vacuous on all eight carriage-return fixtures under the old model. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The hosted review flagged that the public `Region` and `classify_regions` API shipped undocumented, and that the developer guide still described the fence architecture before the kernel existed. Correct the stale `src/classify_kernel_macros.rs` reference -- the file is `src/verified_kernel_macros.rs` -- and note that it is now included by the fence kernel as well as the classifier. Add a paragraph on the fence kernel covering its `#[path]` inclusion, the `LineFeatures` recognition boundary that keeps the regex outside the proof build, the `compression_changes_region` guard, and the `verus-fence-mutation` negative control. Add a Batch fence classification section to the users guide describing the accepted input, the one-result-per-line contract, the three region meanings, and the rule that a pass may rewrite a line only while it is `Prose`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Format gate runs `mdtablefix --check` over the tracked Markdown, and the two prose additions were wrapped by hand rather than by the tool that gate uses. Re-wrap them with the same rule set, which changes no content: it reflows the paragraphs and adds one cross-reference from the new batch-classification section to the existing fence-normalization section. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add the documentation milestone and the Format-gate failure that followed it, plus the surprise entry explaining why hand-wrapped prose fails a gate whose authority is mdtablefix's own reflow rather than a line-length rule. Note the two traps that make this easy to hit: `--in-place` without the rule flags is a no-op, and two execplans are already unformatted at origin/main so the gate reports pre-existing failures. Also correct the reconnaissance note that named `classify_kernel_macros.rs`, which no longer exists. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The hosted CodeScene check failed on src/wrap/tests/fence_tracker.rs with 8.03 -> 7.79 and the Large Assertion Blocks biomarker, while main passes the same check at 8.03. The decline is this branch's: three assert_eq! on .features, added mid-run to observe_source_fence_exposes_structural_marker_with_prefix_indent, pushed three consecutive-assert runs from 3 to 4 and took the flagged-case count from 7 on main to 8 here. The biomarker counts consecutive assertions per test case, not assertions per file, which is why splitting fence_kernel_tests.rs earlier changed nothing: the long runs stayed where they were. CodeScene's own wording for it is "Consecutive assert statements indicate missing abstractions", so the remedy is extraction rather than suppression. Every run of four or more is now collapsed to at most three, through helpers named for the invariant under test: assert_fence_state, assert_fence_step, assert_transition, and assert_fenced_line. The property block moved verbatim to fence_tracker_props.rs so both files stay under the 400-line limit; its text and both helpers were diffed against the original and are byte-for-byte identical, and Proptest/Rstest coverage is unchanged. One conversion was weakened in passing -- it substituted in_fence_for_line for a direct observation.is_in_fence, two predicates that agree today but need not -- and has been restored to the direct assertion. Max consecutive-assert run across both files: 8 -> 3. The focused test run could not be executed locally: the Cargo package-cache lock is held by another agent's process and must not be killed. cargo fmt parses both files and reports them clean, so the change is syntactically valid; behavioural verification is owed to the gate run.
The Lint gate failed on the previous commit with clippy::trivially_copy_pass_by_ref at src/wrap/tests/fence_tracker.rs:39: FenceObservation is three booleans behind a Copy derive, so an &FenceObservation parameter is 3 bytes passed by reference, under clippy's 8-byte limit and denied by -D warnings. The helper now takes the value and the three call sites pass it directly. The other two borrowed parameters are correct as they stand: ObservedFence carries a three-tuple of &str plus an Option<LineFeatures> and is well over the limit, and FenceTracker is stateful rather than trivially copyable. Found by the Lint gate. cargo fmt had reported the file clean because formatting only parsed it; the lint needs type information this failure carries, which is why the refactor's structural checks could not see it.
CodeScene now passes at 8.03 -> 10.00 with both the Large Assertion Blocks and Duplicated Assertion Blocks biomarkers cleared, and CI is green at a55e030 including the full test suite. The Duplicated Assertion Blocks clearance was not planned: consolidating the assertions into shared helpers removed duplication a second rule was also flagging. Also records the Lint-gate failure that the first push of this fix hit (clippy::trivially_copy_pass_by_ref) and what it demonstrates -- the structural checks that verified this refactor was faithful could not have caught it, because the defect was in a signature choice rather than in the logic those checks compared. cargo fmt reported the file clean because formatting parses a file; the lint needs type information. Adds the Cargo package-cache deadlock to Constraints, since it blocks lint/typecheck/test locally for the rest of this work and is not this branch's to clear.
The commit that recorded the CodeScene fix was documentation only, so it skipped the Rust gates -- but `make markdownlint` still applied to it, and it failed: MD012/no-multiple-blanks at one stray double blank left behind when an edit re-inserted a bullet into the middle of the Surprises list. Format, the full 3618-test suite and every other job passed in the same run; this lint was the entire failure. Remove the blank and add two Surprises entries. The first draws the lesson that "docs only" narrows which gates apply without removing the obligation to run those that do, and that this is the second time here a structural check caught what reasoning missed. The second records that a stale vendored `target/debug/mdtablefix`, built before the fence work landed, flags two execplans this branch never touched, while the CI-built binary reports all 41 files unchanged -- so a local self-format check that disagrees with CI should have its binary mtime checked against the commit before its result is believed.

Two Progress entries. The first records that all four hosted-review threads are now resolved, and the method that closed them: each finding was verified against the revision it was raised on (6f9ece9 for the CodeRabbit review, 63d4672 for the codex one) rather than against the branch tip, because a finding stale at the tip may still have been valid when raised. All four were valid on their reviewed revision and are fixed at the tip by 4c3b4c5. The codex thread was answered with that provenance and resolved. The second records the MD012 docs-gate failure and its fix in 044abca. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Hosted review remediation entry said the two documentation warnings were "in flight", but the Documentation entry further down records them fixed in b9fe398. Point at that entry instead, so the Progress section does not contradict itself. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>

The hosted review's Linked Issues check found the verification plan's obligations 3 and 4 broader than what the code proves. Obligation 3 is the one-sided guarded-interior lemma over parsed `LineFeatures`, with both runs classifying the line `Literal` and the mutation gate retaining the marker-character requirement; obligation 4 is scoped to pre-parsed block bodies whose lines satisfy the compression guard, with complete-pass equality recorded as executable corpus evidence rather than a general Verus theorem. The same review found the ExecPlan inconsistent: Progress marked M5 complete while the M5 section still read as an open instruction, and the revision note did not record the completed work. Both are corrected, and the revision note gains the 2026-10-04 rebase entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Code <noreply@anthropic.com>
Closes #486.
Summary
Extracts the fence classification every pass depends on into a pure transition
kernel, routes the streaming tracker through it, makes the compression rewrite
decision a pure function of
(opening state, line), and machine-checks theregion-preservation theorem against that same production body.
The classification now answers one question per line —
Delim,Literal, orProse— fromfence_step, a pure function of pre-parsed line features and theprevious state.
FenceTracker's public API is unchanged;observe_parsednowcalls the kernel rather than owning a second copy of the rules.
What is proved, and what is not
LEM-FENCE-NORMALIZATION-PRESERVES-REGIONSis stated one-sidedly: over thelines a delimiter-compression pass leaves alone, no line moves between the
literal and prose regions. The symmetric claim — that every line keeps its
closer status — is false, and the verifier is what caught it: a tilde line
closes a tilde opener but cannot close the three-backtick opener the pass writes
in its place. The pass is nonetheless entitled to respell that line, so the two
runs legitimately disagree about delimiter identity. Nothing but a prover would
have said so, and the theorem was restated over the lines the pass actually
preserves.
Residual boundary, recorded in
docs/verification.mdrather than hidden: theregex-facing recognition (
features_of_line,classify_regions) is excludedfrom the Verus build, so the claims hold for pre-parsed line features, not for
the parse that produces them. That is the same boundary the existing classifier
uses. The
compress_fencespass itself is not proved; what is proved is thepredicate it consults and the region-level consequence of consulting it
correctly, with an executable corpus sweep as the bridge.

rustchas run for the whole period; 46processes are queued behind it.

agent's job. The three gates are therefore delegated to CI, which runs all three
on pull requests. No gate has been observed to fail on this commit.
