CONTRACT-P6.md 12.1 has carried "a ratchet recomputes the 184 in CI and asserts it only
ever falls" as an obligation since P6. The roadmap handed it to P6.5; the P6.5 line never
received it, and scripts/ci/ has never had anything that computes this number. ID-P7-7
gives it to P7 wave 0. This is it.
scripts/link_ratchet.py mechanises a6's hand experiment: partition the per-object output
of the single MobileGL target into SERVER / FRONTEND / SHARED, then compute
(SERVER undefined) - (SERVER defined) - (SHARED defined) intersect (FRONTEND defined),
which is the undefined-symbol list a real link of a server-only image would print. The
partition is an explicit table with a rationale per row, because it IS the module boundary
the build system does not have (SOURCE_FILES is one flat list; boundaries are P13's work).
An object matching no row is a hard failure, as is a build whose CMakeCache lacks the three
disaggregated options, or an empty role set - every way this gate could go green without
having measured anything is an explicit exit 2.
Measured on 78b7d6be: 186 symbols. The three backend buckets reproduce a6's hand-made
101 / 14 / 60 exactly, as do its per-object referrer and definer distributions
(UniformManager 90, VulkanRenderer 60, Managers 53, DirectGLES 51; TextureObject 59,
SamplerObject 30, BufferObject 18, FramebufferObject 16, PipeFill 9). Nothing from a6's
184 has been cleared; the +2 are both P6.5's:
Client::ClientSession::StartSpawned() - fork-per-session
GLState::ProgramArtifactsSchemaFingerprint() - archive v2 caps
The baseline stores the LIST, not a count (ID-P7-7): a count-only ratchet goes green on the
day one symbol is cleared and another added. --assert-monotone fails only on symbols absent
from the baseline and names each one's defining object and every referring object; symbols
that disappeared are reported with an instruction to re-baseline in the same commit, and
never fail.
The CI step goes in build-linux-split, not build-linux: build-linux takes the three options
from MOBILEGL_CI_DISAGGREGATED, which is ON only on feat/disaggregated and
codex/fix-github-ci, so on any other branch it builds a monolith and the gate would measure
a SERVER set with no transport half. The JSON is uploaded even when the gate fires.
Two findings for the integrator, both written up in the note:
- a6's four published bucket totals sum to 181 against its own headline of 184. These
buckets are a strict partition and always sum to the headline; the difference is in
a6's core bucket, which it listed selectively.
- 5 of the 14 "P3b/P4b" symbols are MG_Pipe slot-allocator and apply-thread plumbing
that sits under MG_Impl/Pipe/ by file location alone. P3b/P4b cannot clear them by
migrating Espryt functionality; they need P13's module move. That bucket's floor is
5, not 0, so the plan's 0.5-day Tier 1 estimate for "D12's 14 symbols" should be
re-cut against 9. All 7 symbols from that object carry a `# P13` annotation.
red-once (R-16) is recorded verbatim in the note. Worth knowing: the plan's own example
(SamplerObject::GetMinFilter) does NOT turn this gate red, because it is already in the
baseline - the ratchet reddens on new symbols, so a negative control has to pick one that
is not in the 186. A reach to GetBorderColorForm() from DirectGLES/Utils.cpp does, naming
the symbol, its definer and its referrer, exit 1; reverted and green again.
Integrator ruling, completing the alignment package L started. The split retrace job now also
exports MOBILEGL_MAGMA_R11G11B10F_FALLBACK for every DirectVulkan row and
MOBILEGL_MAGMA_DISABLE_BLENDED_DEPTH_WRITE for improved-transparency-minecraft-26.3, copied
from the monolith job (:2180 / :2195) with the same guards.
The point is comparability, not the knobs: a split retrace whose monolith control ran a
different repair set cannot say whether a divergence is a transport fact. With the three
iterationRP repairs from the previous commit, every DirectVulkan row of the 154-cell split
matrix now runs the quirk configuration its control runs.
retrace-verify is left alone, as the ruling says.
Three changes, one theme - making the two halves comparable, then gating what measured green.
retrace-split's "Retrace and validate under MOBILEGL_TRANSPORT" step exported no Magma knob at
all, while the monolith retrace job (:2183) exports three iterationRP repairs for
minecraft-1.21.4-fabric-iris-iterationrp-in-world x DirectVulkan. Those repairs are tri-state
quirks defaulting to device auto-detection and lavapipe is on no auto list, so that cell of the
split matrix (154 cells, and it contains that case x DirectVulkan x {inproc, spawn}) was being
compared against a monolith control running a different repair set. The same backend+case guard
is now copied verbatim into the split job.
Two gating steps for the lanes this wave added, and ONLY because they measured green on the
first run: integration-magma-{spawn,tcp} run like the existing magma-split step, and the
nineteen application-buffer cases get require_green BY NAME on both new arms - the tcp arm's
required list includes TcpServer.Start / Stop on purpose, because ctest lists the fixture
entries under the label and a lane whose supervisor failed to start has nothing to say about the
nineteen. The informational integration-magma-all-* tier is deliberately in no gating step.
Both steps were executed locally, not merely linted: spawn 19/19 and tcp 19/19 with
"require-green: N PASS, 0 skip, 0 failed, complete discovery". All 99 run: blocks in the
workflow pass bash -n.
The note records the first run in full: per-lane PASS/FAIL/SKIP, the two blocker groups the
first registration attempt produced (both lane plumbing, neither a server abort, wrong pixels
nor a hang), the arming evidence, both red-once demonstrations, the parity and G14 numbers,
what was NOT verified (no device, no retrace run, no G1) and six findings for the integrator -
the first of which is that P7 exit gate 1 has no host-side red list at all, which the wave 2
plan is built on top of.
wave 0 item 5. Three instruments P7's device window needs, and the CI steps that
can make each of them red.
run_tcp_matrix.py --backend DirectVulkan end to end. --backend already existed and
already filtered by each case's ci_backends; what did not exist is a per-backend
GOLDEN. The two backends shared `golden` plus an optional `alternate_golden`, and
alternate_golden is an OR across backends, not a per-backend key - so a
DirectVulkan run that matched the DirectGLES picture passed, which is the "went
green on the wrong arm" shape the exit gate exists to catch. trace_cases.json
gains `backend_overrides.<backend>` ({golden, alternate_golden, ssim_threshold}
only: restating target_call or a crop would stop the two backends retracing the
same frame through the same window). A per-backend golden REPLACES the shared
pair, matching another backend's declared image is refused BY NAME, and a --case
named explicitly that does not run a requested backend is an error instead of one
plan fewer and no message. The CMake emitter and the APK matrix refuse a case that
declares the key rather than silently emitting one golden for both arms.
DirectGLES is unchanged and that is asserted, not asserted-in-prose: a case with no
override resolves to itself, and the key is dropped from the resolved case even for
the backend that overrides nothing - so giving DirectVulkan its own golden does not
move the DirectGLES identity fingerprint and does not invalidate its checkpoints.
Each results.json row now records the golden, alternate golden and threshold it was
scored against.
run_android_retrace_local.py gets --matrix (the CI split subset, 39 cases, each
running only its own ci_backends - not --all, which adds the rd12 workload ID-P7-4
excludes), --repeat N, and --archive-dir. The archive is the point: the result root
is keyed by case and backend and by NOTHING else, so repeat 2 overwrites repeat 1
and the only artefact that survives a three-repeat run is the last one, which makes
"were the three repeats the same picture?" unanswerable after the fact - in the one
place where re-running to find out is expensive. It also refuses --benchmark with a
non-monolith --transport, which has always produced a monolith run under a spawn
label (run_benchmark_case passes args.env alone; p6/README.md records the pitfall).
compare_actuals.py computes the pair result.json cannot: SSIM between two actual
PNGs, plus a case x repeat x ssim-vs-golden x ssim-vs-first-repeat table over an
archive. It is the retrace gate's OWN SSIM - a transcription of ComputeChannelSsim
/ ComputeRgbSsim (trace_replay_core.cpp:630/:671), the only SSIM in the tree - and
the crop comes from each repeat's own result.json, so the two columns describe the
same rectangle. PNG decode is stdlib zlib, because an unavailable Pillow in the
device window would turn "the repeats diverged" into "the tool did not run".
TraceReplayActivity: resolveSpawnServerPath's two decisions were String.contains()
on the whole joined K=V;K=V list and neither was entry-aware. The one that bit:
`--env MOBILEGL_IPC_SERVER_PATH` with no '=' is the documented UNSET spelling
(trace_env_overrides_test.cpp:92) and the only way to ask for "spawn with no image"
and watch LaunchServer refuse by name - it did not match "MOBILEGL_IPC_SERVER_PATH="
so a resolved path was appended AFTER it and, because ApplyEnvOverrides applies in
order with setenv(...,1), the deliberate unset was silently undone. That is exactly
the "silently replacing it would make that knob untestable" the method's own comment
forbids. Two more: the key inside another entry's VALUE flipped both decisions the
wrong way, and the transport match was case-sensitive while ConfigLoader lower-cases
the value before matching (ConfigLoader.cpp:322). The parse moves to
SpawnServerPath, a class with no android.* import, so test_android_lifecycle.py
compiles and runs it with plain javac - the parse had no host-side coverage at all,
and its on-device failure mode is "the knob had no effect".
Only spawn gets a path, deliberately: it is the only transport that execs an image.
Red-once, all four: a stub case whose result names the DirectGLES golden fails a
--backend DirectVulkan run with "matched a golden another backend declares"; a
synthetic PNG pair with a closed-form SSIM (identical = 1.0 exactly, constant
black vs white = C1/(255^2+C1), inverted halves = (C2-2v)/(2v+C2)); the pre-fix
resolveSpawnServerPath body fails eight of SpawnServerPathTest's checks; and the
DirectVulkan TCP proof battery is the DirectGLES one under the other prefix,
because an empty prefix selection raises nothing and reads as a clean pass.
CI: test_run_tcp_matrix.py and test_compare_actuals.py join the R-16 step. The
matrix driver's stub regressions had NO CI step - they were run by hand and
recorded in a note - and they guard the tool that decides whether a device golden
run passed.
Counts in WSL: test_run_tcp_matrix 12 -> 18, tcp_lane_tools 4 -> 6,
test_compare_actuals 12 new, test_android_lifecycle green with the new Java unit.
The spawn work had the two roles append to one MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH under
O_APPEND. It was correct - two processes at one offset would corrupt the file,
O_APPEND made each write atomic - but it put two sessions' lines in one place
and made every per-side assertion a search. This splits the sink: the client
role writes <base>.client.log and the server role writes <base>.server.log.
THE BASE NAME NAMES NO FILE ANY MORE, AND THAT IS THE POINT. Leaving the
client at the old unsuffixed path would have been the compatible choice and the
wrong one: a reader that was not updated would go on finding a file, go on
passing, and go on seeing only half the session - and a refusal census that
reports a confident zero for the half it cannot see is worse than one that
fails. With both names moved, an un-updated reader gets "file not found" and
says so. There were 34 such readers; every one is moved here.
THE ROLE IS PER-THREAD, not per-process, because under inproc both roles are
threads of one process. Log.cpp keys the sink on a thread-local role: the apply
thread declares itself server (ServerLoop.cpp), a spawned image is server for
its whole life (MOBILEGL_IPC_ROLE=server, read once), and everything else is
the client. The naming rule (RoleLogPath) and the two whole-log operations
(ReadRoleLogs / TruncateRoleLogs) are EXPORTED from the library, so no reader
reimplements the derivation - a second copy is the copy that falls behind.
Readers, by how they read:
- unit mains set MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH and read a role file: they keep the
base in the env and derive the client path from the library helper.
- the death-test child runners (ReadLog) now concatenate BOTH roles: a death
test asserts the CHILD said something, and the applier's refusals - the very
diagnostics these check - are written under the server role.
- the offset-based Emit readers derive the client path once after setenv.
- PipeStatsWindow reads both, because draws/vbs increment in the backend's
PrepareForDraw - the apply thread, the server role - so the summary line is
in the server file even under inproc.
- run_trace_case.cmake's split census reads both files; the client keeps the
transport markers.
- split_log_paths.py (and its self-test, and the control stub) derive both
role files from the declared base.
- the Android script pulls both role files off the device and concatenates
them, so every downstream check is unchanged - and it judges a role file by
CONTENT, because `run-as test -f` through `exec-out` returned 0 for a missing
file on the device and `exec-out` folds cat's own not-found line into stdout.
The monolith arm legitimately has no server file, and that is a silent skip
rather than a one-line server log.
Guarded so a pull build is untouched: RoleLogPath and the role sink are wholly
inside MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED; a non-disaggregated build writes the base
path exactly as before. G1 re-measured - 0 symbol diff, .text unchanged at
0xa52203.
Verified on device 2f7cbe2e: monolith writes only the client log (no phantom
server log), inproc and spawn each write both and pass their transport proofs
(spawn: server role in pid 16125). Unit 2353 (one pre-existing environmental
failure), integration-split 186/186, integration-spawn 102/102, retrace 6/6,
control smoke 12/12, split-log-paths self-test 9/9.
Exit gates 9.2 and 9.3. Until now nothing ran the integration suite across a
process boundary at all - the spawn shape was proven only by the retrace lane,
which exercises one trace per case and no scenario assertions.
integration-spawn: 102 cases, 102 green.
THE SET IDENTITY IS THE POINT, AND IT IS NOT MAINTAINED BY HAND. 9.2 asks that
the spawn lane's case-name set equal the split lane's. Registering the spawn
arm as a second copy of each block would satisfy that today and drift the first
time somebody adds a scenario to one of them - and a spawn lane covering LESS
goes green while proving less, with nothing about a smaller green lane looking
wrong. The eleven split-environment blocks become eleven calls to one macro
that emits BOTH arms from one filter, so a case added to either is added to
both or to neither.
scripts/ci/spawn_lane_parity.py asserts it anyway, because a macro is one edit
from a hand-written block. It compares SETS rather than counts - a count can
agree while the membership does not - and carries exactly one sanctioned
asymmetry, named in the file: integration-split also labels the PUSH-MONOLITH
arm, whose scenario is monolith-only by construction. R-16: introduce a
split-only block and it reds naming the case and the macro to use.
THREE CASES SKIP UNDER SPAWN, BY NAME. CtWireScenario reads PipeApplier's
in-process tallies through ServerVerbs(); under spawn those live in the SERVER's
process and this one's copy is 0 forever, so the assertions were failing about
somebody else's memory. That is a harness limit, not a product defect - the
records themselves cross, which the retrace lane proves. They are SKIPPED and
not deregistered: a case dropped from the registration would make the two sets
differ silently, which is the drift the macro exists to prevent. What retires
the skip is cross-process telemetry, which is also what S8's SessionFaultCount
needs.
TWO REAL REGRESSIONS THE EXISTING GATES CAUGHT, both from this refactor:
* the macro dropped the per-block TEST_LIST variables, which were what
SplitLogPaths fed to give every entry a PRIVATE MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH.
SplitLogPaths.PrivateAndDistinct went red naming the first orphan. The
macro accumulates list NAMES now, so a block added later is covered without
anyone remembering to extend a list - and the names have to be unique,
because gtest_discover_tests' TEST_LIST is populated when CTEST runs, not
at configure time, so one shared variable held only the last block's
entries. That matters more on the spawn arm: there TWO PROCESSES append to
the path, so a shared file interleaves two sessions rather than merely
being ambiguous.
* the configure_file that substitutes those names ran BEFORE the F1 and Ct
blocks registered, so it captured neither. Same gate, naming
F1WireScenario.ClearBufferfiPixels. It now runs last.
junit_tally gains --require-spawn-ran beside --require-split-ran: the prefix IS
the arm, and a shared flag would let one lane tally the other's entries and call
itself run. Verified to discriminate - the spawn junit reads 96/0/5 under its
own flag and 0/0/0 under the split flag, which correctly fails.
Two death tests follow the ADOPT_TIER message the census commit retagged with
Fatal{UnimplementedAdoptTier}; their regexes asserted the old wording.
Unit 2353 (one pre-existing environmental failure), integration-split 186/186,
integration-spawn 102/102, retrace 6/6, fatal census 0 unmarked, G1 0 symbols
and .text unchanged at 0xa52203.
Exit gate S7, and the precondition for CONTRACT-P6 5.2's funnel rather than
its replacement.
S7 says "a bare abort() added outside Session::Fail -> the census gate goes
red". Session::Fail does not exist: it is the 93-site refactor 5.2 describes,
and it is not in this commit. What IS checkable today is the property that
funnel exists to guarantee and that every consumer already depends on - every
death under MG_Remote/ names a FAMILY, in a Fatal{Word} marker a grep can
find. run_trace_case.cmake reds a split retrace on any `Fatal{` line, the
retrace lane's refusal census counts them by name, and MEASUREMENTS quotes
the distinct words. A death with no word is invisible to all three.
TWO RULES, BECAUSE ONE WOULD LAUNDER THE OTHER. An abort must carry a marker
within twelve lines; and every WireLogFatal call must carry one in its format
string. WireLog.cpp's own abort is exempt from the first rule ONLY because its
five callers satisfy the second - a funnel that accepted an unmarked string
would be a hole shaped exactly like the rule.
THE BASELINE BOUNDS SILENCE, NOT DEATHS. Abort sites may grow freely; a new
family word may not appear unrecorded. Freezing the total would make every new
guard a gate change, which is how a gate stops being run. The wire's FatalCode
has seven values and the internal vocabulary is thirty-two, which is the
divergence D2 exists to bound - so growing it has to be an act, not an
accident.
THE CENSUS ALSO CORRECTS ITSELF. Its first run reported WireLog.h's own PROSE
as an unmarked death: the comment explaining why the stderr echo exists
contains the words std::abort(). So the scanner strips comments before
matching, with a character-level pass rather than a regex - a `"http://"`
inside a string literal is not a comment - while KEEPING string literals,
because the markers it looks for live in them. Real numbers after that fix:
93 abort sites, 32 family words, 0 unmarked. a6 had counted 92 and 30 from a
scan that did not make the distinction.
AND THE ONE REAL FINDING. a6 named two aborts with no marker at all;
WireLog.cpp's is the sanctioned funnel, so the genuine one is
PersistentMapTracker's invalid-MOBILEGL_IPC_ADOPT_TIER death. It now carries
Fatal{UnimplementedAdoptTier}, which is what makes the census zero.
R-16 both ways, run: a bare std::abort() reds it naming the file and line, and
a new family word reds it naming the word and how to record it.
The Android retrace matrix gains a third lane, spawn-acceptance, beside
monolith-control and inproc-acceptance. Until now nothing in CI had ever
started a second MobileGL process on a device at all.
The apk.yml retrace job already carried a `transport` matrix dimension and
already branched on it, so the lane itself is three edits: a row in
github_transport_matrix, an elif in the retrace step, and a summary to render.
What needed thought was the gate.
THE SPAWN LANE IS APK-ONLY, and that is a statement about where evidence is
missing rather than about what spawn can do. Linux already has
test.yml's `retrace-split`, which is {backend, case, transport} over inproc AND
spawn with the two negative controls that make it mean anything. A spawn row in
the Linux transport matrix would pay for a second full sweep proving nothing -
and test.yml's `retrace` job stages no server image, so the lane would not
merely be redundant, it would be red. self_test_transport_matrices now asserts
the absence in both directions, because an accidental removal of the `if apk`
has to be caught in the self-test rather than in CI.
--require-spawn REQUIRES TWO SENTENCES, and the second is the one that matters.
ConfigLoader's marker proves the VALUE RESOLVED - it exists only in the Spawn
arm, which exists only under MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED - but that is a
statement about a parser. `spawn ARMED - the server role runs in pid N` is
written only after the launch, the connect and the handshake have all
succeeded, and the pid in it is the SERVER's. It is the only line in the log a
same-process run cannot produce.
Both halves red once, measured:
* a monolith run demanded to prove spawn: REFUSED, transport_resolution_marker
false, server_pid null - while the retrace itself scored ssim=1.000000,
which is exactly the trap. OpenRA matches its golden under monolith too, so
the picture has never been the evidence.
* the same run's real spawn log with the one ARMED line deleted: REFUSED,
transport_resolution_marker TRUE and server_pid null. That is the
"resolved the transport and then never left the process" case, isolated.
THE PROOF USES `any` WHERE THE inproc GATE USES `all`, and the difference is
load-bearing rather than a relaxation. Under spawn two processes append to one
MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH, and the launcher deliberately scrubs every
MOBILEGL_IPC_* from the child's environment (anti-recursion catch (b)) - so the
server's own `Config: IPC` line reads strict=0 role-split-state=0 BY
CONSTRUCTION. Demanding every line match would red every spawn run for the one
thing the design requires.
--use-pbuffer is not optional on this lane: until P12 a spawned server cannot be
handed a window, because an ANativeWindow* is a pointer into the CLIENT's
process (Rule H). MOBILEGL_IPC_SERVER_PATH is deliberately NOT passed -
nativeLibraryDir carries an install-time hash that nothing off the device can
spell, and the Activity resolves it.
The local runner now passes the same knobs and the same --require-* flag CI
does, so "it works locally" can no longer mean "it ran monolith locally". That
change immediately caught its own omission: the first local run with the gate
armed failed on client_ipc_line_present=false because the runner had been
sending MOBILEGL_TRANSPORT alone.
Verified on device 2f7cbe2e: OpenRA.DirectGLES spawn, ssim=1.000000,
mismatchPixels=0, "real spawn transport, server role in pid 9885, and zero
Fatal records confirmed".
It was one case on one backend under one transport: OpenRA, DirectGLES,
inproc. It is now every CI case, both backends, inproc AND spawn - 154 CI
entries, 156 local ctest entries - because every defect the spawn work turned
up was a question about the SERVER's process and not about any one trace or
either backend.
THE DirectVulkan ARM. tools/trace_replay/CMakeLists.txt carried "a
DirectVulkan arm would be measuring a server nobody has written yet". True
when P5 wrote it; false since P5f/P7 landed Magma's server consumers and its
run-ahead readiness gate. Leaving it would have shipped a split shape whose
second backend nothing ever ran - the same class of hole as a lane that runs
monolith under a name that says split. Magma now brings up a server process
of its own and OpenRA retraces across it at ssim=1.000000, which is only
possible because this branch also taught the child to load its config: before
that, a DirectVulkan session brought up a DirectGLES server and the two
halves disagreed about which backend the capability mask describes.
`split` BECOMES AN OPT-OUT. It began as an opt-in naming one case, because
one case was the work. Marking 39 cases `"split": true` would carry no
information and would reinstate the hole the key was written to close, only
mirrored: a case added later would get the monolith arms and be silently
absent from the split ones, and absent is the one state nothing reds on. A CI
case is now in the subset unless it says `"split": false`, which is a
reviewable claim that a trace cannot cross a role boundary.
THE CI MATRIX GAINS A THIRD DIMENSION. The job took {backend, case} and
hard-coded MOBILEGL_TRANSPORT=inproc in its own run block, so `spawn` had no
way into CI at all; the .SPAWN ctest entries existed only for a local build.
It is {backend, case, transport} now, the backends are the case's own
ci_backends rather than a hard-coded DirectGLES, and the artifact names carry
the transport or the two arms of one {backend, case} would overwrite each
other's uploads.
inproc STAYS AS THE CONTROL. Same library, same codec, same applier, same
picture; the only difference is which process the server role runs in.
Running only spawn would leave "did the transport break it?" and "did the
phase break it?" answerable only together - which is the question every
failure in this phase has turned on, including the SIGSEGV that D1 explained.
BOTH NEGATIVE CONTROLS FOLLOW THE ARM. retrace_pull_library_control.sh and
retrace_drop_draw_control.sh each exported MOBILEGL_TRANSPORT=inproc
themselves, so on a spawn job they would have gone on proving something about
the other arm while spawn ran unguarded. They read SPLIT_TRANSPORT now, and
default to inproc so a caller that sets nothing behaves exactly as before.
scripts/ci/control_smoke_test.sh: 22 passed, 0 failed against the stubbed
ctest, including the two modes that matter most - a red whose SSIM never fell
and a knob that armed and dropped nothing.
The spawn arm needs a second binary and the inproc arm needs none, so the job
places libMobileGLServer.so only on the spawn arm and a missing one is a
named failure there rather than a LaunchServer refusal 78 jobs deep.
Measured locally as this lands: 39 of the 78 SPAWN entries complete, all
green. The rest are still running.
The step located the Android CMake identity by reading CMakeCache.txt next
to each compile_commands.json, but the trace flavor's build also produces
.cxx/tools/<flavor>/<abi>/compile_commands.json copies whose cache lives in
the real per-ABI build dir, so the proof failed on a file-layout assumption
rather than on missing evidence. Remove the step and its artifact upload.
5310ff62 generates the R11F_G11F_B10F chain with a real GPU shader blit and gives
F1WireScenario.GenerateMipmapPackedFloatPixels pixel assertions, so the entry now
passes under strict split state and `Magma:mipmap-native-format@P7` survives in no
source file. The old arm would therefore have failed its own `test rc -ne 0`.
Both halves of the arm are retired in one commit, because either alone is a lie:
CMakeLists' fm loop drops the special case that gave this slot the
`integration-magma-p7-known-red` label, so the entry is discovered by the ordinary
`integration-magma-split` lane - the same label, environment and pixels assertion
as GenerateMipmapPixels and GenerateMipmapDepthPixels next to it, and the same
label the dual-block census lane already re-runs.
The lane membership alone would not be the old gate's equal: a lane counts its
entries' exit codes, not their absence. So the CI step keeps its shape and inverts
its expectation - the same single named entry, discovered and run by name under
MOBILEGL_IPC_STRICT_ERRORS=1 and MOBILEGL_IPC_ROLE_SPLIT_STATE=1, now asserted
through split_log_paths.py's require_green, which rejects a skip, a missing entry
and a failure alike. No assertion is skipped away or weakened: the pixels are
checked by the test, and the named-refusal check the log carried is what the GPU
blit retired.
The remove-artifact-clutter jobs deleted trace fixtures and results while
reading job/artifact inventories through unchecked process substitution, so
a failed GitHub API page looked like 'no failed cases' and fixtures for a
red retrace could be deleted. test.yml cleanup also did not wait for the
retrace-split lane even though those jobs download the same fixtures.
Read both paginated inventories into files before any deletion so an API
failure fails the step, add retrace-split to the cleanup dependencies, and
retain fixtures plus result artifacts for failed cases in all three lanes.

on the tier and its cost is NOT confined to the opt-in tier lanes - a plain glMultiDraw* now
waits on the auto -> ext default too. NumDraws > 1 is the narrowest wire fact that contains
the reaching set; kDrawIsIndirect is excluded so Sodium's indirect draw, which resolves by
handle and pulls nothing, keeps running ahead. (b) The read is a SAVE/RESTORE of a GL binding
name around the tier's own scratch buffer, not a data dependency - so it can be retired
outright by giving BoundDrawIndirectBufferId the handle arm its neighbour
ResolveBoundIndexBuffer already has, and this escalation withdrawn. That is three lines in
MultiDraw.cpp, which ID-113 gives to mv, so it is reported rather than edited here.
- The client's half is verb-keyed because the fill decision is asked before the record exists:
{MultiDrawArrays, MultiDrawElements, MultiDrawElementsBaseVertex} is exactly the set whose
record can carry NumDraws > 1 without kDrawIsIndirect. The inclusion goes that way round on
purpose - a record the server calls barriered whose fields the client did not fill would be
an ADMITTED pull of a stale value, which is worse than the abort.
- ID-134: the two ClientVertexArrayScenario entries get the label integration-clientarrays-split
and an expected-red CI step that asserts the MARKER, shaped like gl's Magma lane. ID-131 heeded
by COUNTING, not by assuming: -L integration-split 181 -> 179, -L integration-gpu 1359 -> 1357,
the new label selects exactly 2. The step branches on whether run-ahead is actually ARMED,
because kMGPipeP5eRunAheadReady is a BUILD constant: on a head where it is false the refusal is
unreachable and the entries are legitimately green, so an unconditional demand for red would
fail for the one reason that is not a defect. The client says which world it is in in its own
log line; delete the green branch when the flip lands for good.
- CONTRACT-P5E §3.5 amended to the code: "outside a barriered fill" rested on the caller's claim
about the FUTURE, and a guard whose exemption cannot be false on the class it exists for is not
a guard - it never fired on any of the 70 red entries. The landed rule is "not while the applier
is inside, barriered fill or not", with the fill sites taking §2.5's forced wait first, twice
per filling verb because the block is written either side of the emitters.
- AND §3.2 IS MARKED UNLANDED, which nobody had noticed: "the server's stamp is server-private
… never into the shared block" describes storage the applier owns, and
MGPipeServerStampVerbBoundary still writes m_filled / m_currentVerb / m_serverStampedVerb into
gPipeInputs itself. That gap is what made the race possible. Splitting the stamp is the P11
item - but per-role stamps WITHOUT versioning the BARRIER_PULLED values would be worse than
today, because it turns a loud Fatal into a silent stale read.
- §2.1 carries escalation (iii) as a row, per its own rule that a new escalation is a ruling and
a row in the contract rather than a condition at a call site.
- Gate on the flipped head: unit 2256/2256, isplit 179/179 HARD GREEN, gens rc=0, doc citations
rc=0 (the three remaining are CONTRACT-P5.md's and pre-date this branch).
- Both DirectVulkan.Split.NamedBlit entries carried LABELS "integration-split" and abort under
strict on GetFramebufferBindingSlot@Clear (VulkanRenderer.cpp:7648). P5e does not unbarrier that
field on Magma - it retires there in P7 - so the Espryt lane could not go hard green with them
in it.
- ARGUED RATHER THAN ASSUMED, because the brief allowed either reading: admitting the row instead
is the WORSE option. FieldOwnership.def carries ONE retiring-phase string for both backends
("P5e (Espryt unbarriered), P7 (Magma)"), so a rule that admitted the pair for Magma would admit
it for Espryt too - and an Espryt Clear reading the frontend's binding slot again is exactly the
regression fb's handle arm exists to prevent. The lane split costs two entries; the admission
would cost the gate.
- THE LABEL IS `integration-magma-split`, NOT `integration-split-magma`, and the spelling is
load-bearing: `ctest -L` takes a REGEX, so `-L integration-split` matches a label spelled
`integration-split-magma` as a substring. Measured with the obvious name first: both DirectVulkan
entries were still listed by `ctest -N -L integration-split`, i.e. the split looked done in every
listing and had not happened.
- Its CI step asserts the run is RED **and** that a private log carries the named marker, so
"Magma is expected red" cannot decay into "Magma did not run". Measured: 0/2 under strict with
two logs carrying Fatal{UnmigratedPipeInput, "GetFramebufferBindingSlot@Clear"}, and 2/2 green
without the knob. integration-split is 117 and integration-magma-split is 2.
- CONTRACT-P5E section 7 states the split and the reason it is not an allowlist entry.
Three measured defects in the strict lane, one commit each in spirit and one in fact because
they are the same step.
1. THE LOG SET CAME FROM A DIRECTORY. The CI step grepped MG_IntegrationTest/split-logs/, which
holds 90 of the lane's entries. The ones it could not see were the F1. readback block, both
NamedBlit pairs, the four Ct. entries and PersistentMapArm - precisely the readback population
the allowlist is ABOUT, plus the only DirectVulkan entries in the lane. split_log_paths.py
gains a `markers` mode that walks ctest's own {entry: MOBILEGL_LOG_FILE_PATH} map and
classifies every Fatal{ and Admitted{ line. Measured on this head: 113 of 113 entries read.
The lane is now a TWO-SIDED RATCHET - an unadmitted marker fails, an admitted pair not in
Harness/strict-expected-markers.txt fails, AND an expected pair that no longer appears fails,
so the lane cannot rot green by outliving its own debts.
2. THE `rsp` CHECK GREPPED FOR A COUNTER NO SPLIT ENTRY EMITS, and the pin behind it was vacuous:
CountBarrierPull's unbarriered arm is [[noreturn]] and runs BEFORE ++g_residualPulls, so
"rsp = 0 on unbarriered records" was true of every possible implementation. Replaced by an
assertion where the counter actually is - one entry, DirectGLES.Split.StrictArming., with
MOBILEGL_PIPE_STATS=1, MOBILEGL_PIPE_STATS_PERIOD=1 and a private log path of its own (a
whole-lane env flip races under -j: the library opens that path "w"). It asserts
rsp == 0 || rsp >= draws, which is the device evidence's shape - rsp ~= the draw count under
inproc, 0 under monolith - so the draw path's retirement is visible as rsp ceasing to scale.
3. THE LANE HAD NO POSITIVE CONTROL (ID-115). Of the seven entries that passed strict, three were
monolith transport - where nothing stamps a verb boundary, so the whole mechanism is
structurally unreachable - two self-skipped, one was a death test and one was a Python check.
Not one was a record-carrying split GL scenario, so "green" and "strict was never armed" were
the same observation. New push-only counter `vbs` (PipeStats::ServerVerbBoundaries), counted
at MGPipeServerStampVerbBoundary behind Enabled(), and the same entry asserts vbs > 0 on a
frame that drew. It is deliberately NOT rsp: rsp reaches zero when the phase SUCCEEDS, so a
control built on it would start failing on the day the debt is paid.
- Measured on this head (base 7c6f6886, before pa and mv): isplit 119/119; under strict the
census is Fatal{ GetProgramForDraw@DrawArrays 52, GetBoundVertexArray@DrawArrays 9,
GetProgramForDispatch@DispatchCompute 7 - exactly what pa and mv owe - and Admitted{ on ten
pairs, three of them ADMITTED-ESCALATED. The expected-marker file carries all ten and says in
its header that the wave-3 merge retires three of them.
- CONTRACT-P5E §7 rewritten around what is now checkable: the derived allowlist and its three
disjuncts, the two-sided ratchet, the restated rsp pin, and the positive control.
- ID-116's static rule failed on a row no package in this phase may touch. pa retired the
per-draw program pull, which unmasked GetTransformFeedbackProgram@DrawArrays (11 entries):
BARRIER_PULLED, on kWaitNone draw_vbo, and ruled out of P5e entirely by CONTRACT-P5E section
5.7, with a retiring phase of "P3b/P4b (Espryt), P7 (Magma)". The rule was wrong, not the code.
- A pull is now admitted if the field is BARRIER_PULLED, the verb has a stamp row, the field is
in the verb class's may-read mask, and EITHER the verb's op is statically barriered OR the
field's retiring phase does not name P5e. This table is only ever consulted on a record the
server already stamped BARRIERED - CountBarrierPull's unbarriered arm is [[noreturn]] and
fires first - so the pull is legal by construction and the only open question is whose debt it
is. The retiring-phase column is exactly that answer and was already in the table.
- A verb with NO stamp row still admits nothing under either disjunct: the server stamps only
MGP_VERB_OP_LIST's ops, so any other bit would be a row nothing can exercise. 111 -> 174 pairs.
- The phase column is matched as a TOKEN, not a substring, so a "P5" or a future "P5e2" cannot
answer for "P5e".
- All six of ID-125's survivors checked: GetFramebufferBindingSlot@ReadPixels and
GetTextureUnitObject@CopyTexImage2D by disjunct 1; GetTransformFeedbackProgram@DrawArrays
(P3b/P4b), GetTextureObject@CopyImageSubData (P7) and ValidateProgramName@ShaderStorageBlockBinding
(P9) by disjunct 2. GetTextureObject@CopyImageSubData holds by BOTH, asserted separately.
GetProgramForDraw@DrawArrays, GetBoundVertexArray@DrawArrays and
GetProgramForDispatch@DispatchCompute stay rejected.
- Magma's GetFramebufferBindingSlot@Clear is NOT admitted and cannot be: the retiring-phase
column is one string for both backends and it names P5e for Espryt. The DirectVulkan entries
get their own lane label instead (item 7), which keeps the Espryt allowlist about Espryt.
- StrictErrorsAlsoPromotesTheStickyForwards is RENAMED to
StrictErrorsReachTheStickyForwardsAndNameThemByField and restated. Not one of the seven sticky
forwards names P5e (P7, P7/P9, P7/P13, P9), so on a stamped verb they are all admitted now.
The claim that still has teeth is that the detector REACHES them - asserted by rsp moving and
by the marker naming the field and its phase, so "did not abort" cannot pass for "never
detected". The Fatal half keeps its own case next door on GetBoundVertexArray, a P5e row.
- Six new derivation controls, including one that makes GetTransformFeedbackProgram this phase's
debt and requires it to leave the unbarriered verb's allowlist - without which disjunct 2
could be a constant `true` and every other control would still hold.
- ra landed a hand-kept 13-row copy of CONTRACT-P5E section 7 in .github/workflows/test.yml, and
it was wrong in BOTH directions at once: it omitted GetFramebufferBindingSlot@ReadPixels (21
entries, the lane's largest survivor) and carried GetTextureObject@CopyImageSubData, which
resource_copy_region's kWaitNone makes a genuine unbarriered read of client memory. Neither
error is visible by reading the list. Both are obvious once the list is derived.
- gen_pipe_field_ownership.py now joins the three tables ID-84 already states the rule in -
kMGPipeFieldOwnership, kMGPipeWaitClasses (generated/PipeWire.inc) and kMGPipeClassFieldMask /
kMGPipeVerbClass (generated/PipeFillPoints.inc) - and emits kMGPipeAdmittedPullMask plus
MGPipeBarrierPullAdmitted(field, verb): 101 admitted pairs across 12 barriered verbs.
- The three inputs are READ, never restated, so the allowlist moves with the code: retiring a
verb's wait class narrows it with no edit anywhere, and a new BARRIER_PULLED row widens it only
on verbs that wait. A verb with no stamp row admits nothing - only MGP_VERB_OP_LIST's ops can
ever be the record a pull is reported against.
- --print-admitted gives the CI shell the SAME table the C++ answers from, which is what makes
the hand copy unnecessary rather than merely corrected.
- Three new negative controls (each source renamed away must stop the script - a missing source
yields a silently EMPTY allowlist, which reads as rigour and is blindness) and five derivation
controls that move an input and read the allowlist back.
- Red-once: dropping the wait-class conjunct from build_admitted fails the self-test by name -
"3 admission-derivation control(s) did not hold: unbarriering ReadPixels' op removes every
@ReadPixels pair; unbarriering ResourceCopyRegion removes every @CopyImageSubData pair; no pair
is admitted on an unbarriered verb (DrawArrays)" - and the new unit case fails with
"GetBoundVertexArray@DrawArrays is admitted on a verb no barriered op stamps".
- CONTRACT-P5E §7. integration-split-strict was an EXPECTED-RED control: every entry
aborts on its first BARRIER-PULLED read, so the step gated on the run failing for
that reason. After the flip it is a HARD GREEN GATE - an unbarriered record's pull is
Fatal whatever the knob says (§3.3), so strict adds only the barriered rows, and those
are a short named allowlist of <field>@<verb>. A revert of any handle arm in
vi/sb/pg/tx2/fb then goes red HERE, by field and verb, instead of in a picture.
- THE ARM IS CHOSEN BY THE TREE. The step greps kMGPipeP5eRunAheadReady out of
MG_Backend/Init.cpp, which is the one constant the integration commit flips and is
exactly the fact the lane's expectation depends on. A lane whose flip is a separate
human step is a lane that is wrong for as long as that step is outstanding - and the
pre-flip arm is unchanged, so this commit moves no CI verdict today.
- The allowlist names the package that retires each row: readbacks and the pack PBO
(P8/P9), the CopyTex endpoint and GenerateMipmap (tx2), set_storage_block_binding
(pg), XFB (P3b/P4b/P9), resource_copy_region's GL names (the declared P5b debt). A
row leaves it by deletion, never by widening. The lane also warns on a non-zero rsp,
which after P5e can only be a barriered row.
- The allowlist is built with printf rather than a heredoc: a quoted heredoc's
terminator has to start at column 0, which inside a YAML block scalar would end the
scalar instead of the heredoc.
- ARCHITECTURE §11.6: the wait rule is the generated WaitClass column now, not the call
class, and it REPLACES the BatchWaits skip; glFinish stops being a no-op under
run-ahead; the forced waits (EGL forwarders, the map/readback family) and glGetError's
named window are listed. §11.7: the P9 plan is code - the producer blocks, the drain
clears AND rings, the client's parks break on the latch, and two named refusals remain
for the impossible cases. §14: the present credit is client-minted, 1-based, one per
swap, paid before the encode. §17.7: what P5e is, in one section - the predicate, rule
F, gPipeInputs' ownership, the latch and the control arms.
- 附 A gains MOBILEGL_IPC_RUN_AHEAD and moves MOBILEGL_IPC_PRESENT_CREDIT out of the
"P6+" line: a knob listed as not-yet-effective while it paces the frame is how an A/B
stops being one.
Layer 1 arms the texture object surfaces at MipmapStorage (the one point every concrete
texture class and view forwards through): AllocateStorage, TruncateMipmapLevels,
UpdateMipmapSubData, MapMipmapData, MarkStorageDirty(Region), IsStorageDirty,
GetStorageDirtyRegion(s) take Fatal{RoleViolation, texture-legacy-arm} from the apply
thread with an active transport. What the lane then exposed is fixed, not exempted: the
completeness gate answers from the staged store's defined-ness, the two logging reads go
through the descriptor macro, and the remint replay loop keeps its named
Fatal{UnmigratedEmulation} ahead of the guard. Magma's texture sync read path is the one
named exemption (MGPipeTextureLegacyArmScope, P7). Layer 2 wires InBarrierWait as the
client half of the gPipeInputs single-writer rule (RefusePipeInputsTouchWhileApplierOwnsIt:
applier owns it AND this thread not in a barrier wait => Fatal{RoleViolation,
gPipeInputs}; the barrier-off negative control is deferred to its own Fatal), and stale
reads of RECORD-SUPPLIED / APPLIER-DERIVED fields under a server stamp now report
RoleViolation with the field named. The RemoteGuards suite pins all nine texture surfaces
plus HasDefinedContent by name, and a negative control for the fill window. CI gains the
integration-split-strict job: unit lane as the hard gate under MOBILEGL_IPC_STRICT_ERRORS=1,
the scenario lane expected-red with the marker asserted (rewritable to plain green once P7
retires the object-class rows). rsp is per-frame in the stats line and measured on the
locally available traces (bsl in-world 948.5/frame avg over 123 frames, complementary
1591.9, iterationrp 286 until its named remint-pull Fatal); value-class pulls are zero by
rv's pinned list, what remains is the object-class fifteen.
Evidence: unit 2187/2187 (also under STRICT_ERRORS=1); integration-split 111/111; red-once
per layer (the texture guard and the gPipeInputs guard each turned their named death test
red and restored green). CONTRACT-P5C sections 5.4, 6.
