P3b/P4b wave 2-D package D2 — the Espryt stream, part 2

The verification gates P3b/P4b owes, plus the texture / program split-scenario census. Base 7ed5da52 (feat/disaggregated), worktree ~/w7/p7-espryt-d2, branch p7/espryt-d2.

Package D1 owns MG_Backend/DirectGLES/{DirectGLES.cpp,Managers.cpp}, the XFB/readback scenarios and their split-arm registrations. Nothing here touches those; every MG_IntegrationTest/CMakeLists.txt edit sits in a block headed package D2.

Slice 1 — TextureViewAliasScenario

The verification half of "按存储属主键控的发射游标与 view 索引重映射". The code half landed in P4a/P5e: the drain cursor is owner-keyed (MG_Impl/Pipe/TextureEmit.h, NoteLevelDirty + DrainTextureSubData), the index remap is TextureObjectView::ToOwnerLevel / ToOwnerUploadTarget / ToOwnerRegionOffset, the wire half is MGPSamplerView + MGPResourceDesc::ViewOf.

Four cases, each asserting on TWO channels at once — sampled texels AND MGPipeTextureEmitter::SubDataCount() / RefusedSubDataCount() / DrainListSize(), read through the new Harness/TextureEmitPeek.{h,cpp}:

case	direction	drains
SubImageThroughAViewIsSampledThroughTheOwner	view upload → owner sample	1
SubImageThroughTheOwnerIsSampledThroughTheView	owner upload → view sample	1
TheViewUploadDrainRunsAgainAfterADrawBoundary	view upload → owner sample	3
TheOwnerUploadDrainRunsAgainAfterADrawBoundary	owner upload → view sample	3

Red-once (R-16)

TextureObjectView::MarkStorageDirtyRegion patched to call PipeNoteLevelDirty on ITSELF instead of forwarding to the storage owner — the two-cursor shape the design rejects.

DirectGLES.TextureViewAliasScenario.TheViewUploadDrainRunsAgainAfterADrawBoundary  FAILED
  the first view write, through the owner: 11408 of 11408 pixels disagree;
    first at (2, 2) is rgba(50,160,30,255), expected rgba(255,0,255,255)
  Expected: (window.SubDataDelta()) > (0u), actual: 0 vs 0
    the SECOND drain (first view write after a draw boundary): the client texture emitter
    described 0 texture(s) across this draw and put NO resource_subdata on the wire.
  ... and the same pair again for the THIRD drain.

Both channels red simultaneously, which is the property the file was written for: stale texels AND a drain that emitted nothing.

Deviation from the plan's prescription, recorded rather than papered over. The plan says "case (a) must go red". It does not — case (c) does. Case (a) creates the texture, writes through the view and drains ONCE, and that first drain of a texture's life carries the whole level anyway (the storage definition already marked it dirty), so a cursor keyed on the wrong object still ships the right texels by accident. It is the SECOND and THIRD drains, where only the sub-region written since the last validate point is owed, that can lose a record. Cases (c)/(d) exist for exactly that and are where the red lands. The scenario header states this; case (a) is kept because it is the cheapest statement of the remap itself.

A defect this slice FOUND: owner writes are invisible through a sampled view under split

TheOwnerUploadDrainRunsAgainAfterADrawBoundary is red on inproc, spawn and tcp, green under monolith, on the unmodified tree.

Once a view has been SAMPLED, a later glTexSubImage through the OWNER's own name never becomes visible through the view. The client half is provably correct — the case's own counter assertions pass, so the records were emitted and the applier accepted them.

• The server's per-texture clean gate BackendTextureObject::IsDrawSyncCleanByRecord (Managers.cpp:15433) compares the VIEW's record.Serial and record.PendingUploads.
• An owner-side resource_subdata moves only the OWNER's (MG_Pipe/PipeApply.cpp:1175).
• Nothing propagates a serial bump from a storage owner to the records that view it. MGPResourceDesc::ViewOf is a forward edge with no reverse index, and the applier reads it only in the descriptor-equality helper (PipeApply.cpp:666).
• Under monolith the same gate reads GetContentVersion() THROUGH the view, which TextureObjectView forwards to the owner (TextureObjectView.cpp:100-102). The split gate has no equivalent of that forwarding.
• MG_Remote/CONTRACT-P5E.md:387-395 states the split gate in full and has the same hole, so the implementation is faithful to the contract. The contract is what is wrong.

KHR-GL43.texture_view.coherency is exactly this test and reads Pass in the CTS baseline — which is a monolith reading (notes/p7/device-window-1/CTS-base/README.md:16).

Not fixed here. The fix is either at the gate (Managers.cpp — package D1's file) or at the publisher (MG_Pipe/PipeApply.cpp's ApplyTextureUpload, outside D2's declared footprint), and the publisher-side form needs either an O(#texture records) scan per resource_subdata or a new reverse index on MGPipeResourceRecord — a design decision with a contract amendment attached. The case is excluded by name from the three split arms with the cause stated in the CMake comment, kept in the monolith lanes where it is the regression net for the forwarding that works, and listed in split-scenario-census.md. G14: the name still exists in every lane.

The tcp arm was green-skipping everything

MOBILEGL_ESPRYT_ENABLE_TEXTURE_VIEW=1 on MGL_ITEST_GLES_TCP_ENVIRONMENT is not enough: the tcp lane's server is pre-started by the TcpServer.Start fixture, not spawned from a client that carries the lane environment, so the server withheld GL_ARB_texture_view and all four cases SKIPPED while the identical Split and Spawn arms ran. Fixed by putting the knob on the fixture entry's own ENVIRONMENT property (tcp_server_fixture.py builds the supervisor's environment from os.environ and strips only the transport keys). A feature knob that reaches two arms of three is the worst of the three states: the lane is green and tests nothing.

Slice 2 — TextureUploadShapeScenario promoted from record to gate (R-11 / D-D4)

RecordProperty → EXPECT_EQ against a gold row measured on this cursor, plus a third texture uploaded through a glTextureView so the view/owner remap is inside the counted workload.

The gold row

Workload constants kScatteredRects=40, kFrames=3, one contiguous band, three textures.

	emit	box	rect	jobs	client emitter
gold (this cursor)	9	9	0	9	9
P4a's record (two textures, no client emitter)	6	6	0	6	ctu=0

Identical on all four arms — DirectGLES.TextureUploadShape. (monolith), .Split., .Spawn., .Tcp..

The client half is read from the emitter, not from ctu=

Measured, and it is a correction rather than a preference:

arm	where tex[] is	where ctu= is
monolith	the one log	same line
inproc	the SERVER's log (two files, one process, one counter set)	same line
spawn / tcp	the SERVER's log	the CLIENT process's own counters, on a different Present cadence — measured ctu=13 against emit=9, and usually not yet written at all when the case reads

So ctu == emit is not a well-posed comparison under spawn/tcp from the summary lines. The log field is kept as a RECORD and asserted only where the two are window-aligned (decided by asking PeekSplitRuntime() which transport resolved — not by testing whether the number is >= 0, which was this case's first mistake: the server publishes a perfectly readable ctu=0 under spawn and the comparison silently became 0 == 9). The ASSERTION reads MGPipeTextureEmitter::SubDataCount() in-process, which is the same counter's source and is the client's true count in every arm, because the test process is the client under all four.

Harness/PipeStatsWindow.h gains LastFromClientLog() / LastFromServerLog() for this.

Red-once (R-16)

The prescribed flip does not reach this workload, and that is a finding. Flipping summedArea * 4 >= unionArea * 3 in MipmapStorage::GetDirtyRects leaves the gate GREEN. Four attempts, in order, all green:

1. flip summedArea*4 >= unionArea*3 → green
2. rects.size() < 2 → rects.empty() → green
3. remove the union-box re-seed in MarkDirtyRegion → green
4. MOBILEGL_ESPRYT_DISABLE_UNPACK_RING=1 alone → green

The reason is two gates downstream of the predicate, either of which alone forces the box arm:

• Managers.cpp:8764 rectShape = subRectEligible && dirtyRectCount >= 2 — the SERVER needs at least two rects, and the client's list collapses to one for this workload; and
• Managers.cpp:8652 if (BufferImpl::UnpackRingAvailable()) dirtyRectCount = 0; — by design: "through the unpack ring every glTexSubImage is a GPU copy job (Mali), so ~100 sprite rects become ~100 jobs whose fixed cost dwarfs the union box's extra bytes… One box, one job."

So box=9 rect=0 is not an accident of the scatter pattern: it is the unpack-ring policy's intended output, and no client-side predicate can move it while the ring is available. The gold row pins the policy's output, which is the right thing to pin.

The red-once that DOES bite makes GetDirtyRects hand back the union box cut in two AND disables the unpack ring:

DirectGLES.TextureUploadShape. ... FAILED
  the BOX/RECT split moved: 6 box emissions against a gold of 9
  the BOX/RECT split moved: 3 rect-list emissions against a gold of 0
  the JOB count moved: 12 against a gold of 9
  tex[emit=9 box=6 rect=3 jobs=12]

and all 26 pixel cases of TextureView / TextureViewAlias / SampledSetStaleness / ImageSizeAfterRespec / CopyImageLevelRange / ClearThenReadPixels stay GREEN under the same patch — the required property, and the point of the gate: SSIM and every pixel assertion are blind to a shape that inverted.

The Mali frame-time delta is NOT published

D-D4 asks for the +6 ms/frame reading beside the gold. Not schedulable: this phase has one device, a Redmi with an Adreno, and no Mali part. Recorded as a declared deviation in the scenario header and in docs/Disaggregated/MEASUREMENTS.md as "Adreno-only; Mali delta deferred" rather than modelled or copied from the 2026 measurement's conditions. What the gate pins is the SHAPE, on the reasoning that the shape is the cliff's cause and the frame time is its consequence on one vendor's hardware.

Stale prose corrected

All three said the client emitter had not landed. MG_Impl/Pipe/TextureEmit.h's EmitOneLevel increments CallClass::ClientTextureUploadEmissions on every piece it emits, and the build's own probe hits (MGITEST_PIPE_CLIENT_TEXTURE_UPLOAD_EMITTER_PRESENT=1 is in every lane's environment).

• Scenarios/TextureUploadShapeScenario.cpp header and the client-half comment block
• MG_IntegrationTest/CMakeLists.txt, the probe's comment ("Once package B's texture emitter lands"). The else() arm is KEPT — it is what makes the arming decision falsifiable in both directions — but it is unreachable on this tree and now says so.
• notes/p4a/p4a-results/gates-v1.md's re-run table

Slice 3 — the memo purity gate

scripts/ci/espryt_memo_purity.py, a sibling of link_seam_purity.py, wired into test.yml beside it. Scoped to the BRACES of the families the plan names (ResolvedTextureBindingMemo, SamplerPassMemo, UnitSamplerLookupMemo, TwinLookupMemo, StateBackendObjectRegistry) plus the image sweep's seven file statics, because these two files pass frontend pointers around legitimately in hundreds of places and a file-wide grep would be a list of exceptions.

Guard-awareness is a small conditional walker, not a preprocessor: it recognises #if MOBILEGL_PIPE_LEGACY_MEMOS, #if !MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED and the #else of #if MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED, which is every spelling these files use.

Six allow-list entries, each with its reason. The two that matter: StateBackendObjectRegistry's UnorderedMap<StateObject*, Entry> (Managers.h:330, and the m_entries member behind it) and ResolvedTextureBindingMemo's type-erased const void* program are the PULL build's only arms — deleting them moves pull .text and fails G1, so they retire with the pull path (P13). The other four are memo VALUES rather than keys.

Red-once (R-16): 7 negative controls in --self-test, 4 positive controls (a LEGACY_MEMOS arm, the #else of a DISAGGREGATED arm, the allow-listed type-erased key, and a frontend pointer outside every memo family) — plus one taken against the real tree: injecting MG_State::GLState::ProgramObject* regressionKey into the actual ResolvedTextureBindingMemo reddens the gate and names DirectGLES.cpp:7266.

What the sweep found that is NOT in scope: seven unguarded frontend-pointer-keyed containers under MG_Backend/DirectVulkan (VkTextureManager's five TextureIdentity-keyed containers, VkClearManager's two, VkRenderPassManager's two raw RenderbufferObject* maps, and VulkanRenderer::VaoDrawMemo's vaoKey+vaoLifetimeId pair sitting beside the correctly fenced handle key). Magma's key inventory is P7 wave 2's, so the gate does not look there; recorded here so the next pass meets a known list.

Slice 4 — R-5 (D-K2's dependency rule in one place) and R-3

R-5

The rule had six statements and nothing compared them, and two of the four prose ones were wrong in the same way: MG_Pipe/MGPipe.h:115-125 and MG_Backend/DirectGLES/Managers.h:690-695 both said "THREE OF THEM HAVE A DEPENDENCY" (there are six rows) and both said "the mirror pairs (10 without 11, ...) are all fine" — when 10-without-11 is precisely D-K2's FOURTH row (ID-14/ID-15), refused by the server and withheld by the client, with PipeFill.cpp saying so out loud: "The brief's original 'bit 10 without 11 is fine' is WITHDRAWN for P4a as built." Neither wrong comment could fail anything. Managers.h's copy is in the header of the file that implements the refusal.

The rows, once, in MG_Pipe/SubsystemDeps.def (X-macro, FatalFamilies.def's convention), expanded by MGPipe.h into kMGPipeSubsystemDependencies[] / MGPipeSubsystemRequires() / MGPipeSubsystemDependenciesAreSet(), with four static_asserts over it:

family	requires
bit 8 VertexInput	bit 7
bit 9 Framebuffer	bit 10
bit 10 TextureResources	bit 7 and bit 11
bit 11 Samplers	bit 10
bit 12 Programs	— (a ROW, not an absence)
bit 13 BufferBindings	bit 7

Bits 8 and 13 were the two the old comment did not know about; bit 13's row lived fifteen lines further down in MGPipe.h, which is how "THREE OF THEM" survived two phases.

The two readers do NOT yet read it, deliberately. MG_Impl/Pipe/PipeFill.cpp is the contract package's file for the whole phase (TextureEmit.h states that rule) and MG_Backend/DirectGLES/Managers.cpp belongs to package D1 while it is in flight. Switching them is two one-line changes for the integrator. The anti-drift property does not wait for it: MG_Test/Backend/DirectGLES/SubsystemDepsTest.cpp is the first thing in the tree that calls BOTH readers at the same mask, sweeping the phase constants, the two documented refusal lanes and one mask per row, and compares each against the .def. It is in that binary because that binary is the one that links both sides.

Both comparisons are one-directional, and each for a measured reason:

• the server resolvers also fold in the family's own bit and (for the framebuffer one) D-C3's separate wire-caps refusal, so a resolver may say NO for a reason of its own but may never say YES at a mask the table refuses;
• MGPipeP4aFamilyEmits is a QUADRUPLE — the operator's bit, the wired constant, a registered consumer, and the dependency rule — and the first version of this case asserted equality and reddened at 0x1fff on the sampler and program families because a bare unit binary registers no consumer. That was the assertion being wrong, not the product; it is recorded because the temptation to assert equality here is strong and wrong.

Red-once (R-16), twice:

1. drop D-K2's fourth row from the .def → compile-time failure, MGPipe.h:225 and :230 ("D-K2's fourth row (bit 10 requires bit 11) has gone missing again").
2. make the SERVER's ResolveSamplerSubsystemArm stop checking bit 10 (throwaway patch to Managers.cpp, reverted) → TheServerConsumerGateNeverArmsAFamilyTheTableRefuses reds and names the mask: "at MOBILEGL_PIPE_PUSH=0x9ff the SERVER's ResolveSamplerSubsystemArm ARMED the handle arm for family 0x800 while MG_Pipe/SubsystemDeps.def says its dependency bits are not all set." 0x9ff is exactly the lane CMakeLists.txt already pins for G12.

Stale prose corrected in MGPipe.h (both blocks), MG_Impl/Pipe/PipeFill.h and MG_Impl/Pipe/TextureEmit.h. MG_Backend/DirectGLES/Managers.h:690-695 is NOT corrected here — it is package D1's file. Its two defects are named above so the integrator can take them in one line.

R-3 (the cheap half)

MG_Remote/CONTRACT-P5.md already claimed the image-access, sampler-view-target and draw-buffer encodings as contract, but did so by pointing at package-header line ranges, and all three had drifted — ImageEmit.h:146-159 no longer holds the encoding at all, SamplerEmit.h:900 is off by six lines, FramebufferEmit.h:146-163 by one. That is the exact failure the table's own MGPSubData::Target row warns about.

All three rows now state the encoding by enumerator and function name rather than by line, and the two confusable siblings are named out loud: MGPImageBind::Access carries the raw GL token (not this encoding), and SamplerEmit.h's SamplerTarget[] is a different, biased encoding of the same enum living 200 lines from the wire one.

The remaining half of R-3 is stated, not closed: MGPSamplerView::Target has no Count bound, no ...IsValid predicate and no Fatal{ProtocolCorruption} for an out-of-range value, unlike MGPipeResourceTarget. Giving it the MGPipeImageAccess treatment in MGPipeValueTypes.h is a MG_Pipe change outside this package's declared footprint.

Slice 5 — the raw-depth-fetch sampler, step 1 only

Step 1 done: ContextEpochTest gains a case that drives GetRawDepthFetchSampler() on BOTH arms in one process and asserts they are two different BackendSamplerObjects — the observable form of DirectGLES.cpp:334-336's prose claim that the legacy pair "is not constructed or consulted by the server".

Step 2 NOT done, and the package's own condition is why. Every deletion candidate — the two file-static SharedPtrs (DirectGLES.cpp:82-83), the monolith arm (:361-371), NeedsRawDepthFetchSampler (:393-399) and the pre-handle sampler-pass branch (:8015-8024) — is UNCONDITIONAL code. None sits behind #if !MOBILEGL_BUILD_DISAGGREGATED; the pull build (DISAGGREGATED=OFF, PIPE_PUSH=OFF) compiles and links all of it, and the monolith arm is the ENTIRE body GetRawDepthFetchSampler has there. Deleting any of it moves pull .text and fails G1's 0/0/0/0 — ARCHITECTURE.md:340 states that rule for exactly this class of retired-but-compiled code. Filed as P13, beside the existing S7 entry in notes/p5f/f0-statics.md.

---

Slice 6 — the census

notes/p34b/split-scenario-census.md carries the table. Twelve scenarios newly gating in the three GLES split arms; ProgramPipelineScenario's nine non-storage-block cases deliberately not registered (ScenarioFixture's armed-lane rule); DirectVulkan arms deliberately none, with the tier-2 informational replay named as the reason it is not a coverage hole.
