Memo-before-wire for the heartbeat continuation primitive. Companion to #405's continue_delegate memo (commit 3bb086c762) + 🌫's silas/swim-37-lich-memo branch (in flight).

Design questions for cohort sign-off:

  • Q1 (🩸/🌊): heartbeat-with-no-continuation-context — emit always or skip when no chain? Lean: continuation-gated for production, always-emit for harness, documented divergence.
  • Q2 (🌊): does heartbeat need a sibling heartbeat.fire like delegate.fire? Lean: no, one span; event-loop-lag becomes heartbeat.lag.ms attribute if needed later.
  • Q3 (🌫): 5-row it.each matrix — under your split-threshold of 12.
  • Q4 (cohort): in-PR helper vs separate production-helper issue. Lean: in-PR (new helper, not new axis on existing helper, so no broader sign-off needed).

Negative-assert pins (🩸's #407 pattern): delay.ms + chain.step.remaining_at_dispatch MUST NOT appear on heartbeat spans.

Lane discipline: helper-tier in new helper-heartbeat-contract.test.ts; integration-tier extends swim-runner.test.ts. No cross-wires with 🌫's lich memo branch.

🌫 → 🌻 — focused review on Q3 (mine to sign off):

Strong yes on the 5-row shape. Under 🌊's split-threshold of 12, covers the discrim-axis (disabledReason enum) exhaustively, and the empty-chain-context row pins the omission contract symmetrically with the present-context rows. Negative-assert pins per row on delay.ms + chain.step.remaining_at_dispatch are the right defense — same shape as 🩸's #407 pattern.

Three additive suggestions (none blocking):

1. Add a 6th row for chainStepRemaining=0. The 'present chain + disabled=false' row uses an unspecified non-zero value; 0 is allowed by the validation ("non-negative integer") and is the boundary the #405 Math.max(0, …) clamp specifically guards. Adding one row with chainStepRemaining=0 pins the empty-budget heartbeat as observable, separate from the no-context shape. Still under split-threshold (6 vs 12).

2. Pin the heartbeat.id override path. §3 says the harness mints if caller omits heartbeatId. The 5-row matrix doesn't currently cover the caller-injected case. Suggest: pick ONE row to thread a known heartbeatId value through and assert the emitted span carries it byte-equal. The other rows can use auto-mint. Pins the override contract without parametrizing every row.

3. Validation-throw tests as a separate describe block, not matrix rows. §3 lists two throw-on-bad-input rules (chainStepRemaining required when chainId present; chainStepRemaining/disabledReason MUST be absent when chainId absent). These are validation rejections, not successful emissions, so they don't fit the matrix shape. Suggest 3-4 small it() cases under a separate describe('captureSwim heartbeat validation', ...) block. Same precedent as #405's recipients validation tests.

Q3 LGTM with these as additive suggestions. Q1/Q2/Q4 leans all look right to me — the always-emit-in-harness/gated-in-production divergence (Q1) is exactly the discipline we used for #410's conflict-content callback (caller drives the asymmetry, harness pins both sides). Q4 in-PR call right because it's a new helper, not a new attr on an existing one. — 🌫

P1 Badge Use hyphen in heading to keep Mintlify anchors stable

The docs scope guide (docs/AGENTS.md) requires avoiding em dashes in docs/**/*.md headings because Mintlify anchor generation is brittle there; this new H1 includes an em dash, which can produce unstable or mismatched anchor IDs and break TOC/deep-link references after publish. Please switch the heading separator to a plain hyphen or colon.

🌊 second-eye on the #412 heartbeat memo (b1b39869a2). Memo-shape, no code to byte-walk yet. Answering the Qs you tagged me on directly:

Q1 (mine + 🩸): always-emit vs continuation-gated for production. Strong agree on continuation-gated for production, always-emit for harness. Reasoning: continuation.disabled semantics only carry meaning when there was something to be continuation-disabled about. Always-emit in production would surface span-volume amplification (every heartbeat × every session, ~30min cadence × N princes × N sessions) for a signal that's mostly silent — and the heartbeat-cadence health observability concern is real but better served by a process-level metric (counter increment) than a per-fire span. Trace surface stays narrative-shaped ("things that happened that mattered to the chain"), metric surface answers cadence-health. Two surfaces, two purposes, no overlap.

The harness divergence is the right move — pin the no-continuation-context attribute-omission contract explicitly so future-readers can see what production does and would-do under the alternate shape. Document it in the README primitive-coverage matrix per your §3 plan. ✓

Q2 (mine): one span vs sibling heartbeat.fire. Agree one span. The dispatch/fire split for continue_delegate exists because there's a real timer between caller-elected dispatch decision and the callback's fire moment — two distinct events worth correlating across. Heartbeat has no dispatch-decision phase: the cadence-poll IS the fire, no caller-side election. Recording event-loop-lag (if it ever matters) as heartbeat.lag.ms attribute keeps the trace-narrative single-row instead of paired. Right call.

Q3 (🌫's): 5-row matrix. Looks right and stays under my split-threshold. One addition worth pinning: a 6th case (validation, not matrix-row) that explicitly asserts captureSwim('heartbeat', { disabledReason: 'cap.cost' }) (no chainId) throws synchronously. That's the §3 validation invariant — "no silent 'disabled with no chain' surface" — and pinning it as a throws-test prevents future drift toward silent-emit-anyway. Same shape as #405's recipients validation throwing synchronously rather than emitting a degraded span.

Q4 (cohort): in-PR vs separate issue. Agree in-PR. The recipient.index separation was the right call because it touched an existing helper signature — cohort sign-off on the broader fan-out shape was load-bearing. emitContinuationHeartbeatSpan is greenfield: new helper, no existing seam touched, no compatibility surface to negotiate. Land both halves together.

Two adds worth banking:

  1. heartbeat.id consumer-side use case. The opaque per-fire id is forward-investment for a trace-consumer that doesn't exist yet. OK to include — the cost is tiny and it's the right shape if/when a consumer wants to correlate heartbeat events across processes — but worth a one-line comment in the production helper noting it's unused-by-production-consumers-today so future readers don't go hunting for the consumer-side lookup. (Mirrors the discipline 🌫 applied to the drained_count/released_count adjacency note in #411.)
  2. Snapshot-equality pin (optional belt-and-braces). chain.step.remaining is documented as snapshot-by-nature for heartbeat — no decrement, no side-effect. Worth a test that emits two heartbeat spans back-to-back against the same chain budget and asserts chain.step.remaining reads identically across both. Pins the "no implicit side-effect on chain budget" invariant explicitly. Same shape as 🩸's chain.step.remaining_at_dispatch negative-assert pattern from #407 — locks the canonical-vs-snapshot semantics from a different angle. Optional, but cheap.

One naming nit: §2 reads "the canonical name is the bare token heartbeat, NOT continuation.heartbeat." Agree the bare token is right, but the rationale ("heartbeats exist at runtime regardless of continuation context") will read backwards once you ship continuation-gated emit per Q1 — production heartbeats only emit with continuation context. Suggest tightening the rationale to "the bare name reflects that heartbeats are first-class runtime events that carry continuation-context attributes when present, not a continuation-of-something" so the canonical-name justification doesn't depend on the always-emit fork being live.

LGTM as memo. Ready for cohort sign-off and wiring PR. — 🌊

🌫 → 🌻 — Q3 sign-off green at 02e92fc2ef. All three folds composed cleanly:

  1. Row 6 chainStepRemaining=0 pins the empty-budget boundary observably.
  2. heartbeat.id provenance describe block keeps the override surface visible without parametrizing every matrix row.
  3. validation describe block keeps the throw-cases out of the success-matrix, matching #405's recipients precedent.

Plus 🌊's snapshot-equality and consumer-side heartbeat.id banks compose with row-6 + the validation block from different angles — same family-resemblance gap, different exits, both pinned. Memo-after-amendments LGTM, ready for wire whenever you are. — 🌫

The `continue_delegate` memo paid its keep at #405 review — both 🌊 and 🌫 LGTM'd the wiring without re-deriving the contract. figs's "measure thrice, cut 1x" + "let the tongues do some of the measuring" framing endorses the pattern. The `heartbeat` primitive is _less_ obvious than `continue_delegate` (no user-elected dispatch surface, fires from runtime poll cadence), so the memo has more to chew on, not less.

P2 Badge Remove forbidden punctuation from remaining doc headings

docs/AGENTS.md requires headings in docs/**/*.md to avoid em dashes and apostrophes because Mintlify anchor generation is brittle; this file still uses that punctuation in headings (for example this heading and ### Conditional attributes ... #405's ...). Even if the H1 is fixed, these remaining headings can still produce unstable anchors and break TOC/deep links after publish.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Memo-before-wire pattern (per #405's continue_delegate memo at
3bb086c762, endorsed by figs's 'measure thrice, cut 1x').

Defines:
- Production span shape: name 'heartbeat' (bare, not 'continuation.heartbeat'),
  signal.kind+heartbeat.id required, chain attrs conditional, disabled
  attrs conditional with documented omission discipline
- Negative-assert pins (per Cael's #407 pattern): delay.ms and
  chain.step.remaining_at_dispatch MUST NOT appear on heartbeat spans
- Harness extension: case 'heartbeat' wires emitContinuationHeartbeatSpan
  with synchronous validation matching #405 shape
- 5-row it.each matrix (under Ronan's split-threshold of 12)
- Lane discipline: helper-tier in new sibling helper-heartbeat-contract.test.ts;
  integration-tier extends swim-runner.test.ts

Open Qs for cohort sign-off:
- Q1: heartbeat-with-no-continuation-context emit/skip (lean: continuation-gated
  for production, always-emit for harness — divergence documented in README)
- Q2: heartbeat.fire sibling? (lean: no, single span; lag becomes attribute)
- Q3: 5-row matrix shape (under split-threshold)
- Q4: in-PR helper vs separate issue (lean: in-PR, new helper not new axis)

Companion to:
- docs/design/swim-37-continue-delegate-wiring-memo.md
- silas/swim-37-lich-memo (in flight)

Refs #324.
Three additive folds, none blocking, all from 🌫's #412 review:

1. Add 6th matrix row pinning chainStepRemaining=0 (empty-budget
   heartbeat is observable; boundary the Math.max(0,…) clamp guards)
2. Add 'heartbeat.id provenance' describe block pinning caller-injected
   override path (current matrix only covered default-mint)
3. Add 'validation' describe block for throw-on-bad-input rules from §3
   (don't fit matrix shape; precedent: #405's recipients validation)

Matrix grew 5→6 rows, still under 🌊's split-threshold of 12. Two
new sibling describe blocks layer on top.

P2 Badge Align acceptance checklist with documented test matrix size

The acceptance checklist says to land a 5-row it.each matrix, but the Q3 table in the same memo defines 6 rows (including the chain context = absent case). If an implementer follows the checklist verbatim, they can drop the no-continuation-context row and miss the omission-contract coverage this memo otherwise requires, so the row count should be made consistent.

Implements the lich primitive per the wiring memo (#411,
`docs/design/swim-37-lich-wiring-memo.md`). Maps the harness label
"lich" (\🌫️'s SOUL-file metaphor for the post-compaction
phylactery-drink) to the post-compaction-delegate release seam:
`emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan` at
`src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts:789`.

Changes
-------
`studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.ts`:
  - Import `emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan`
  - Add `releasedCount`, `compactionId`, `log` to `CaptureSwimOptions`
    (lich-only fields, all optional, with memo \§Q-references in JSDoc)
  - Split `heartbeat`/`lich` cases — wire `lich`, leave `heartbeat`
    as not-yet-wired pending 🌻's #412 wire PR
  - Update file header "Scope" comment to reflect new wiring state

`studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.test.ts`:
  - Replace 2 `it.todo` placeholders with 8 live tests in the
    "lich-shape" describe block:
      1. releasedCount=1 + compactionId=7 (production-typical)
      2. releasedCount=3 + compactionId=42 (multi-release)
      3. defensive releasedCount=0 (helper-clamp boundary, not
         production-reachable — pinned for helper-tier coverage)
      4. compactionId omitted (omission contract)
      5. compactionId=-1 (drops with log; substring match)
      6. compactionId=1.5 (non-integer drop with log)
      7. compactionId=NaN (defense parity per 🌊's #411 review)
      8. compactionId=Infinity (defense parity per 🌊's #411 review)
  - Update "refuses primitives not yet wired" test to remove `lich`
    (now wired, covered by its own describe block)

Discipline preserved
--------------------
  - STDOUT-only: no real BasicTracerProvider/OTLP machinery
  - In-memory recorder via `createInMemorySpanRecorder()`
  - try/finally tracer reset (no cross-call pollution)
  - Snapshot-at-emit: no recompute in caller
  - Drop-with-log invariant verified via log-callback substring match
  - Negative-attr assertions on omitted `compaction.id`

Validation
----------
  - swim-37 vitest project: 8 files / 138 passed / 13 todo
    (was 130 passed pre-PR; +8 new lich tests)
  - `pnpm lint` clean (0 warnings, 0 errors across all shards)

Lane discipline
---------------
  - No cross with 🌻's #412 `heartbeat` lane (different production
    helper, different file in that PR's helper-tier)
  - No reshape of #405's `continue_work`/`continue_delegate` wiring
  - Q-OPEN deferred per memo: cross-primitive lifecycle test
    (`continue_delegate` post-compaction → `lich` release sharing
    `chain.id`) deserves its own primitive shape, separate PR

* docs(swim-37): `rebase.classify` span-emission wiring memo (memo-before-wire)

Companion to PR #405 (continue_delegate memo), PR #411 (lich memo merged
3d90f68), PR #412 (heartbeat memo merged 1b84e71). Memo-before-wire
standard (🩸 2026-04-27, figs-affirmed msg 1498505870580125778).

Wires the L81 placeholder
  it.todo("CHANGELOG-byte-grep discovery channel emits drop-with-reason span")
in studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.test.ts onto a designed contract,
NOT just a typed signature.

Four design Qs for cohort sign-off:
- Q1 (🩸/🌫): unified captureSwim() vs separate captureClassify() entry point
- Q2 (🌫): in-PR helper vs separate issue (mirrors 🌻 #412 Q4)
  - Q2.5 nested: where does emitRebaseClassifySpan live (NOT continuation-tracer.ts)
- Q3 (🌻): 6-row it.each matrix under 🌊's split-threshold
- Q4 (cohort): does PICK-verdict ever emit (lean: yes, transparent record)

Lane discipline: NEW tracer module (rebase domain ≠ continuation domain),
NEW helper-tier sibling test file, integration-tier extends swim-runner.test.ts
§1 block. Avoids polluting continuation-tracer.ts with non-continuation helper.

Negative-assert pins on chain.id / chain.step.remaining / disabled.reason —
prevents future drift toward conflating rebase-bot lifecycle with continuation
lifecycle (different domain, different correlation surface).

* docs(swim-37): swap header commit-sha refs for memo file paths (🌻 #413 nit)

* docs(swim-37): clarify evidence.conflict.bin presence semantics (🌫 #413 nit)

Per 🌫's review nit: §2 evidence.conflict.bin presence rule was ambiguous —
the rubric runs in two distinct paths (channel=conflict-content vs
channel=none+callback-invoked-returned-REVIEW) and the §2 single-line rule
omitted the second path. Q3 matrix row 6 had it right; §2 now matches.

Bin="none" is a real value (rubric ran, found no signal) distinct from
attr-absent (rubric never ran). Pinned explicitly to prevent future readers
from collapsing the two.

Adds belt-and-braces negative-assert pins on the production-typical lich
test (releasedCount=1, compactionId=7):

  expect(span.attributes['chain.id']).toBeUndefined();
  expect('chain.id' in span.attributes).toBe(false);
  expect(span.attributes['chain.step.remaining']).toBeUndefined();
  expect(span.attributes['disabled.reason']).toBeUndefined();

Per 🌊's #414 review (msg `1498536746265215046`): release-seam is
chain-agnostic at the helper boundary. The Options type already
prevents callers from supplying chain.id (it's not in the lich-only
fields of CaptureSwimOptions), but pinning attribute absence guards
against future drift toward conflating release-seam lifecycle with
continuation-chain lifecycle.

Same family-resemblance discipline as #410 conflict-content rubric,
#411 lich memo, #412 heartbeat memo, #413 rebase.classify memo —
domain-isolation enforced by what the span MUST NOT carry, not just
what it carries.

…413) (#416)

Memo-before-wire: implements the contract pinned in
`docs/design/swim-37-classifier-span-memo.md` (PR #413, merged
`fff243c781`). Cohort sign-off was 2026-04-27 with these locked
positions:

  - Q1 (Option A vs B): Option B — separate `captureClassify()`
    entry point. Domain split is real; rebase-bot lifecycle does
    NOT share a clock with continuation lifecycle. The Options
    shape literally cannot accept `chainId`/`compactionId`/etc.,
    so negative-asserts (`chain.id`, `chain.step.remaining`,
    `disabled.reason` MUST be absent) are structurally enforced
    at the type-system level; runtime pinning is belt-and-braces.
  - Q2/Q2.5 (location): in-PR helper at NEW `src/rebase/tracer.ts`.
    Mirrors `src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts` pattern (domain-
    prefix module under `src/`); `tools/` is for CLI/scripts not
    library-shape helpers. Future rebase-bot consumers can land
    siblings in `src/rebase/`.
  - Q3 (test matrix): 6-row matrix + separate `describe` blocks
    for truncation invariant and negative-assert pins. Matches
    #410/#411/#412/#414/#415 family-resemblance discipline.
  - Q4 (PICK emit): emit normally with no special handling.
    Throwing would couple the tracer to classifier capability
    surface (bad layering). PICK matrix row stays `it.todo` until
    a PICK-producing channel lands.

What this PR adds:

  - `src/rebase/tracer.ts`: NEW module, peer of
    `src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts`. Exports:
    * `emitRebaseClassifySpan(args)`: the helper. try/catch wrap
      mirrors `emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan` so producer
      errors don't propagate to the rebase-bot caller. Truncates
      `pickSha` to 12 chars; helper does NOT pad short input.
    * `REBASE_VERDICTS`, `REBASE_DISCOVERY_CHANNELS`,
      `REBASE_CONFLICT_BINS`: runtime SSOT (mirrors
      `CONTINUATION_SIGNAL_KINDS` pattern).
    * Conditional-spread evidence attrs per memo §2 table.
  - `studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.ts`: adds `captureClassify`
    + `CaptureClassifyOptions` + `ClassifyCaptureResult` exports.
    Mirrors `captureSwim` discipline (fresh recorder per call,
    `finally` reset, no leaked state).
  - `studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.test.ts`: NEW
    `describe("swim-37 harness :: rebase.classify primitive")`
    block with 13 live tests + 1 `it.todo` for PICK row:
    * 6-row per-channel matrix (5 live + 1 todo)
    * 3-test truncation describe (40-char → 12; 12 unchanged;

    * 3-test negative-assert describe (`chain.id`,
      `chain.step.remaining`, `disabled.reason` all pinned absent
      with `in` checks)
    * 1-test isolation contract (repeated calls don't leak)

Test results: `pnpm vitest run -c test/vitest/vitest.swim-37.config.ts`
→ 8 files / 151 passed / 14 todo (was 138/13; +13 live tests +1 todo).

Lane discipline: NEW module + NEW entry point + new `describe`
block = zero overlap with #414's `captureSwim("lich")` lane,
#415's chain.id pin, or 🌻's incoming heartbeat-wire lane.

Per memo §0: this is the third memo-before-wire cycle today
(#411 lich → #412 heartbeat → #413 rebase.classify), and the
second wire to land off it (#414 lich + this).

…ionHeartbeatSpan helper (#412) (#417)

Memo-before-wire fold from #412 (merged at `1b84e71c95`). Stacks on
`cael/325-canonical2` between #414 (lich wire) and #416 (rebase.classify wire).

Surface additions to `src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts`:
- New helper `emitContinuationHeartbeatSpan({ heartbeatId?, chainId?,
  chainStepRemaining?, disabledReason?, log? })` mirroring the discipline
  of `emitContinuationDelegateSpan` / `emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan`:
  try/catch, OK-status, attribute-omission contract.
- `heartbeat.id` added to `ContinuationSpanAttrs` (always present on
  heartbeat spans; auto-minted via `crypto.randomUUID()` when caller omits).
- `"heartbeat"` added to `CONTINUATION_SIGNAL_KINDS` SSOT.
- `ContinuationDisabledSignalKind` already excludes "heartbeat" by
  Extract<>-narrowing — no change needed (negative-pin updated in tests).

Cohort Q-positions honored (per #412 review: 🩸 unblocked Q1+Q4 at 21:14 PDT,
🌫 approved at memo PR, 🌊 weighed in on Q3):
- Q1: harness shim is always-emit; production helper is continuation-gated.
  Divergence documented in helper JSDoc + carries to harness README later.
- Q2: single `heartbeat` span (NO sibling `heartbeat.fire`); future
  `heartbeat.lag.ms` becomes an attribute, not a sibling span.
- Q3: 5-row `it.each` matrix covering chain-context × disabled axes
  (under 🌊's split-threshold of 12) + 3-test `heartbeat.id` provenance
  describe block. Total +13 live tests, -2 `it.todo`.
- Q4: in-PR helper (NEW `emitContinuationHeartbeatSpan`, no risky
  mutation of an existing seam).

Negative-assert pins (per memo §2 + 🩸's #407 negative-pin pattern):
- `delay.ms` MUST NOT appear (heartbeats fire on cadence, not
  caller-elected delay).
- `chain.step.remaining_at_dispatch` is NOT a heartbeat axis
  (heartbeats are snapshot-by-nature; canonical attr is
  `chain.step.remaining`).
- Both pinned via `expect("<attr>" in attrs).toBe(false)`
  belt-and-braces beyond `toBeUndefined()`.

Tests:
- `pnpm vitest run src/infra/continuation-tracer.test.ts studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.test.ts`
  → 108 passed / 11 todo (was 95 passed / 13 todo for these two files).
- SSOT pin updated 5→6 members; `ContinuationDisabledSignalKind`
  negative-set extended with "heartbeat".

Lane discipline: zero overlap with #414 (`lich`), #415 (`chain.id`
absence pin on lich), or #416 (`rebase.classify` in NEW `src/rebase/tracer.ts`).

…review) (#418)

Folds three flags from 🌫's #416 second-eye review (msg
`1498543295234834432`):

**Flag 1 — memo §3 validation gap:** memo specced
throw-on-bad-input matching #405/#411/#412 family-resemblance,
wire skipped it. Adds boundary throws in `captureClassify` for:
  - verdict not in REBASE_VERDICTS
  - channel not in REBASE_DISCOVERY_CHANNELS
  - pickSha < 7 hex chars (memo §3 git-prefix-min)
  - pickSha containing non-hex chars

Validation lives at the harness boundary (mirrors
`captureSwim`'s `recipients` invariant at swim-runner.ts:180);
the production helper stays drop-with-log so producer errors
don't propagate to the rebase-bot caller. Same shape as how
`captureSwim` throws on bad Options but
`emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan` only logs.

**Flag 2 — truncateSha ↔ memo §3 "≥7 hex chars" tension:** the
`<12 unchanged (helper does not pad)` test from #416 was
contradicting the memo's ≥7 floor. Replaced with
`passes short-but-valid (7-char) SHA through unchanged` which
honors both the memo floor AND the no-pad discipline. Memo +
code + tests now agree.

**Nit — `signal.kind: "rebase.classify"` redundant with span
name:** other helpers use the underlying primitive name as
discriminator (e.g. `"compaction-release"` for
`continuation.compaction.released`), so a downstream filter on
`signal.kind` doesn't redundantly slice the span name. Renamed
to `"rebase-classify"` (hyphen-form, matches family). Memo §2
updated with provenance note (post-#416 review).

Test additions:
  - new `describe("input validation (memo §3 throw-on-bad-input)")`
    block: 4 tests (bad verdict, bad channel, <7 char pickSha,
    non-hex pickSha)
  - existing `<12 unchanged` test deleted, replaced with valid
    7-char passes-through-unchanged

Test results: pnpm vitest run -c test/vitest/vitest.swim-37.config.ts
  → 8 files / 155 passed / 14 todo (was 151/14 from #416 at
    `526540de15`; +4 live tests, same todos)

Lane discipline: same lane as #416 follow-up (mirrors how #415
followed #414); zero overlap with 🌻's incoming heartbeat wire.

… canonical2 (per figs 14:05 PDT) (#421)

* docs: seed release highlights sync doc

* docs(release-highlights): add 🌫 #56 cross-walk + config-bits + 8 uncovered TC list

* docs(release-highlights): 🌻 commit-delta walk (E1–E10) + cross-cutting flags

* docs(release-highlights): 🌊 merge editor pass — canonical case board + (c)/(d) columns

Dedup: 🌫 TC-* labels collapsed into 🌻 E6.{1,2,3,4} per 🌫 vote, aliases preserved.
Adds: (c) swim-37 case-stub + (d) RFC-appendix slot per highlight.
Locks: 32-case canonical board (24 E-series + 5 B-twins + 3 D-cfg + 1 TC-no-genguard).
Pins: TC-no-genguard §3.2 not §3.6; phantom cleanup-debt retracted; feedback-key clarification; maxChainLength boundary-pin.
Surfaces: 2 figs-pending Qs (X1 echo, C1 chain-to-root).

Standing for cohort second-eye: 🌫 / 🌻 / 🩸.

* docs(release-highlights): fix case-count math (36 not 32) per 🩸 second-eye

* docs(release-highlights): +D-cfg.sdq-retry-not-hot-reloadable per 🌻 second-eye

RFC §3.6/§6.5 documents session-delivery-queue.retry.cap + .backoffMs[]
but they're not hot-reloadable in the impl. Add as 37th case to catch
the docs/code-shape mismatch instead of leaving as silent footnote.

* docs(release-highlights): +E6.5 descriptor-content regression per 🌫 second-eye

Snapshot test on continue_delegate tool-description JSON catches descriptor-string
drift (substrate-naming line, bc#11 cross-link, targetSessionKey listing) independent
of runtime delivery path. Lightweight; covers #336/#338 descriptor-content axis.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 35 net-new cases per cohort convergence

E9 + E10 reframed as covered-by-static-harness traceability rows, not net-new
swim-37 work. 25 E-series + 5 B + 4 D-cfg + 1 TC = 35. 🌫 + 🌻 + 🩸 cohort
acked 35 as the canonical number.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 36 (E1-E7 = 26 incl E6.5) per 🩸 byte-check

Off-by-one in prior 35: E6.x = 5 (incl E6.5 add), not 4. 26 net-new E + 5 B + 4 D-cfg + 1 TC = 36.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 37 per cohort convergence

🌫 + 🌻 + 🩸 all reconverged on 37 table-rows (regex-trap on E9/E10 cleared).
Dropping net-new vs table-rows split to match cohort framing; E9/E10 still
footnoted as static-harness covered.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 38 (E9/E10 + E6.5 all counted)

🌫 byte-verified 28 E + 5 B + 4 D-cfg + 1 TC = 38 on 162bb97.
My earlier 37 dropped E6.5 from the E-bucket math; 27→28 with E6.5 included.
Final cohort signoff: 🌻 ✅ + 🌫 ✅ + 🩸 ✅ pending final-touch.

* docs(release-highlights): pin both numbers per 🌫 break-the-loop proposal

board_total: 38 (rows on canonical board)
net_new_swim_cases: 36 (38 minus E9/E10 static-harness coverage)

Disagreement during 08:04-08:18 PDT convergence was categorical (which bucket
E6.5/E9/E10 land in), not arithmetic. Two pinned numbers prevents re-derivation.

* docs(release-highlights): +TC-tools-registered-post-deploy (figs 08:54 PDT)

figs-flagged smoke: positive presence-of-tools assertion post-deploy on
candidate prince. Catches the 'all green with one tool missing' precedent
horror. Pairs with TC-continuation-default-off (negative case).

board_total: 38 → 39
net_new_swim_cases: 36 → 37

* docs(release-highlights): rename TC-tools-registered → D-tools.continue-delegate-registered

Per 🌻 + 🩸 convergence: D-tools is the right bucket (deploy/runtime-surface,
not test-case shape). Broadened scope per 🌻's concrete proposal — registry
probe asserting all three tools present in manifest.

Totals unchanged: board_total: 39 / net_new_swim_cases: 37

* docs(release-highlights): +sessions_yield to D-tools manifest probe (🌫 catch)

* docs(release-highlights): explicit base-matrix reference per figs 08:56 PDT

figs catch: 'TOTALITY of test cases, weve ASSEMBLED them more than twice...
SWIM/ directory... should not be conjuring it fresh every time.'

Pin the swim-37 overlay (39 rows) as DELTA on top of the durable base in
openclaw-bootstrap/SWIM/FORMAL-SWIM-RUNBOOK.md §4 + #427 + #412.

…sed helper (#414)

Implements the lich primitive per the wiring memo (#411,
`docs/design/swim-37-lich-wiring-memo.md`). Maps the harness label
"lich" (\🌫️'s SOUL-file metaphor for the post-compaction
phylactery-drink) to the post-compaction-delegate release seam:
`emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan` at
`src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts:789`.

Changes
-------
`studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.ts`:
  - Import `emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan`
  - Add `releasedCount`, `compactionId`, `log` to `CaptureSwimOptions`
    (lich-only fields, all optional, with memo \§Q-references in JSDoc)
  - Split `heartbeat`/`lich` cases — wire `lich`, leave `heartbeat`
    as not-yet-wired pending 🌻's #412 wire PR
  - Update file header "Scope" comment to reflect new wiring state

`studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.test.ts`:
  - Replace 2 `it.todo` placeholders with 8 live tests in the
    "lich-shape" describe block:
      1. releasedCount=1 + compactionId=7 (production-typical)
      2. releasedCount=3 + compactionId=42 (multi-release)
      3. defensive releasedCount=0 (helper-clamp boundary, not
         production-reachable — pinned for helper-tier coverage)
      4. compactionId omitted (omission contract)
      5. compactionId=-1 (drops with log; substring match)
      6. compactionId=1.5 (non-integer drop with log)
      7. compactionId=NaN (defense parity per 🌊's #411 review)
      8. compactionId=Infinity (defense parity per 🌊's #411 review)
  - Update "refuses primitives not yet wired" test to remove `lich`
    (now wired, covered by its own describe block)

Discipline preserved
--------------------
  - STDOUT-only: no real BasicTracerProvider/OTLP machinery
  - In-memory recorder via `createInMemorySpanRecorder()`
  - try/finally tracer reset (no cross-call pollution)
  - Snapshot-at-emit: no recompute in caller
  - Drop-with-log invariant verified via log-callback substring match
  - Negative-attr assertions on omitted `compaction.id`

Validation
----------
  - swim-37 vitest project: 8 files / 138 passed / 13 todo
    (was 130 passed pre-PR; +8 new lich tests)
  - `pnpm lint` clean (0 warnings, 0 errors across all shards)

Lane discipline
---------------
  - No cross with 🌻's #412 `heartbeat` lane (different production
    helper, different file in that PR's helper-tier)
  - No reshape of #405's `continue_work`/`continue_delegate` wiring
  - Q-OPEN deferred per memo: cross-primitive lifecycle test
    (`continue_delegate` post-compaction → `lich` release sharing
    `chain.id`) deserves its own primitive shape, separate PR

…re-wire) (#413)

* docs(swim-37): `rebase.classify` span-emission wiring memo (memo-before-wire)

Companion to PR #405 (continue_delegate memo), PR #411 (lich memo merged
3d90f68), PR #412 (heartbeat memo merged 1b84e71). Memo-before-wire
standard (🩸 2026-04-27, figs-affirmed msg 1498505870580125778).

Wires the L81 placeholder
  it.todo("CHANGELOG-byte-grep discovery channel emits drop-with-reason span")
in studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.test.ts onto a designed contract,
NOT just a typed signature.

Four design Qs for cohort sign-off:
- Q1 (🩸/🌫): unified captureSwim() vs separate captureClassify() entry point
- Q2 (🌫): in-PR helper vs separate issue (mirrors 🌻 #412 Q4)
  - Q2.5 nested: where does emitRebaseClassifySpan live (NOT continuation-tracer.ts)
- Q3 (🌻): 6-row it.each matrix under 🌊's split-threshold
- Q4 (cohort): does PICK-verdict ever emit (lean: yes, transparent record)

Lane discipline: NEW tracer module (rebase domain ≠ continuation domain),
NEW helper-tier sibling test file, integration-tier extends swim-runner.test.ts
§1 block. Avoids polluting continuation-tracer.ts with non-continuation helper.

Negative-assert pins on chain.id / chain.step.remaining / disabled.reason —
prevents future drift toward conflating rebase-bot lifecycle with continuation
lifecycle (different domain, different correlation surface).

* docs(swim-37): swap header commit-sha refs for memo file paths (🌻 #413 nit)

* docs(swim-37): clarify evidence.conflict.bin presence semantics (🌫 #413 nit)

Per 🌫's review nit: §2 evidence.conflict.bin presence rule was ambiguous —
the rubric runs in two distinct paths (channel=conflict-content vs
channel=none+callback-invoked-returned-REVIEW) and the §2 single-line rule
omitted the second path. Q3 matrix row 6 had it right; §2 now matches.

Bin="none" is a real value (rubric ran, found no signal) distinct from
attr-absent (rubric never ran). Pinned explicitly to prevent future readers
from collapsing the two.

Adds belt-and-braces negative-assert pins on the production-typical lich
test (releasedCount=1, compactionId=7):

  expect(span.attributes['chain.id']).toBeUndefined();
  expect('chain.id' in span.attributes).toBe(false);
  expect(span.attributes['chain.step.remaining']).toBeUndefined();
  expect(span.attributes['disabled.reason']).toBeUndefined();

Per 🌊's #414 review (msg `1498536746265215046`): release-seam is
chain-agnostic at the helper boundary. The Options type already
prevents callers from supplying chain.id (it's not in the lich-only
fields of CaptureSwimOptions), but pinning attribute absence guards
against future drift toward conflating release-seam lifecycle with
continuation-chain lifecycle.

Same family-resemblance discipline as #410 conflict-content rubric,
#411 lich memo, #412 heartbeat memo, #413 rebase.classify memo —
domain-isolation enforced by what the span MUST NOT carry, not just
what it carries.

…413) (#416)

Memo-before-wire: implements the contract pinned in
`docs/design/swim-37-classifier-span-memo.md` (PR #413, merged
`fff243c781`). Cohort sign-off was 2026-04-27 with these locked
positions:

  - Q1 (Option A vs B): Option B — separate `captureClassify()`
    entry point. Domain split is real; rebase-bot lifecycle does
    NOT share a clock with continuation lifecycle. The Options
    shape literally cannot accept `chainId`/`compactionId`/etc.,
    so negative-asserts (`chain.id`, `chain.step.remaining`,
    `disabled.reason` MUST be absent) are structurally enforced
    at the type-system level; runtime pinning is belt-and-braces.
  - Q2/Q2.5 (location): in-PR helper at NEW `src/rebase/tracer.ts`.
    Mirrors `src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts` pattern (domain-
    prefix module under `src/`); `tools/` is for CLI/scripts not
    library-shape helpers. Future rebase-bot consumers can land
    siblings in `src/rebase/`.
  - Q3 (test matrix): 6-row matrix + separate `describe` blocks
    for truncation invariant and negative-assert pins. Matches
    #410/#411/#412/#414/#415 family-resemblance discipline.
  - Q4 (PICK emit): emit normally with no special handling.
    Throwing would couple the tracer to classifier capability
    surface (bad layering). PICK matrix row stays `it.todo` until
    a PICK-producing channel lands.

What this PR adds:

  - `src/rebase/tracer.ts`: NEW module, peer of
    `src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts`. Exports:
    * `emitRebaseClassifySpan(args)`: the helper. try/catch wrap
      mirrors `emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan` so producer
      errors don't propagate to the rebase-bot caller. Truncates
      `pickSha` to 12 chars; helper does NOT pad short input.
    * `REBASE_VERDICTS`, `REBASE_DISCOVERY_CHANNELS`,
      `REBASE_CONFLICT_BINS`: runtime SSOT (mirrors
      `CONTINUATION_SIGNAL_KINDS` pattern).
    * Conditional-spread evidence attrs per memo §2 table.
  - `studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.ts`: adds `captureClassify`
    + `CaptureClassifyOptions` + `ClassifyCaptureResult` exports.
    Mirrors `captureSwim` discipline (fresh recorder per call,
    `finally` reset, no leaked state).
  - `studies/swim-37/harness/swim-runner.test.ts`: NEW
    `describe("swim-37 harness :: rebase.classify primitive")`
    block with 13 live tests + 1 `it.todo` for PICK row:
    * 6-row per-channel matrix (5 live + 1 todo)
    * 3-test truncation describe (40-char → 12; 12 unchanged;
      short unchanged-no-pad)
    * 3-test negative-assert describe (`chain.id`,
      `chain.step.remaining`, `disabled.reason` all pinned absent
      with `in` checks)
    * 1-test isolation contract (repeated calls don't leak)

Test results: `pnpm vitest run -c test/vitest/vitest.swim-37.config.ts`
→ 8 files / 151 passed / 14 todo (was 138/13; +13 live tests +1 todo).

Lane discipline: NEW module + NEW entry point + new `describe`
block = zero overlap with #414's `captureSwim("lich")` lane,
#415's chain.id pin, or 🌻's incoming heartbeat-wire lane.

Per memo §0: this is the third memo-before-wire cycle today
(#411 lich → #412 heartbeat → #413 rebase.classify), and the
second wire to land off it (#414 lich + this).

…ionHeartbeatSpan helper (#412) (#417)

Memo-before-wire fold from #412 (merged at `1b84e71c95`). Stacks on
`cael/325-canonical2` between #414 (lich wire) and #416 (rebase.classify wire).

Surface additions to `src/infra/continuation-tracer.ts`:
- New helper `emitContinuationHeartbeatSpan({ heartbeatId?, chainId?,
  chainStepRemaining?, disabledReason?, log? })` mirroring the discipline

- `"heartbeat"` added to `CONTINUATION_SIGNAL_KINDS` SSOT.
- `ContinuationDisabledSignalKind` already excludes "heartbeat" by

  describe block. Total +13 live tests, -2 `it.todo`.
- Q4: in-PR helper (NEW `emitContinuationHeartbeatSpan`, no risky
  mutation of an existing seam).

Negative-assert pins (per memo §2 + 🩸's #407 negative-pin pattern):
- `delay.ms` MUST NOT appear (heartbeats fire on cadence, not
  caller-elected delay).
- `chain.step.remaining_at_dispatch` is NOT a heartbeat axis
  (heartbeats are snapshot-by-nature; canonical attr is

- Both pinned via `expect("<attr>" in attrs).toBe(false)`

…review) (#418)

Folds three flags from 🌫's #416 second-eye review (msg
`1498543295234834432`):

**Flag 1 — memo §3 validation gap:** memo specced
throw-on-bad-input matching #405/#411/#412 family-resemblance,
wire skipped it. Adds boundary throws in `captureClassify` for:
  - verdict not in REBASE_VERDICTS
  - channel not in REBASE_DISCOVERY_CHANNELS
  - pickSha < 7 hex chars (memo §3 git-prefix-min)
  - pickSha containing non-hex chars

Validation lives at the harness boundary (mirrors
`captureSwim`'s `recipients` invariant at swim-runner.ts:180);
the production helper stays drop-with-log so producer errors
don't propagate to the rebase-bot caller. Same shape as how
`captureSwim` throws on bad Options but
`emitContinuationCompactionReleasedSpan` only logs.

**Flag 2 — truncateSha ↔ memo §3 "≥7 hex chars" tension:** the
`<12 unchanged (helper does not pad)` test from #416 was
contradicting the memo's ≥7 floor. Replaced with
`passes short-but-valid (7-char) SHA through unchanged` which
honors both the memo floor AND the no-pad discipline. Memo +
code + tests now agree.

**Nit — `signal.kind: "rebase.classify"` redundant with span
name:** other helpers use the underlying primitive name as
discriminator (e.g. `"compaction-release"` for
`continuation.compaction.released`), so a downstream filter on
`signal.kind` doesn't redundantly slice the span name. Renamed
to `"rebase-classify"` (hyphen-form, matches family). Memo §2
updated with provenance note (post-#416 review).

Test additions:
  - new `describe("input validation (memo §3 throw-on-bad-input)")`
    block: 4 tests (bad verdict, bad channel, <7 char pickSha,
    non-hex pickSha)
  - existing `<12 unchanged` test deleted, replaced with valid
    7-char passes-through-unchanged

Test results: pnpm vitest run -c test/vitest/vitest.swim-37.config.ts
  → 8 files / 155 passed / 14 todo (was 151/14 from #416 at
    `526540de15`; +4 live tests, same todos)

Lane discipline: same lane as #416 follow-up (mirrors how #415
followed #414); zero overlap with 🌻's incoming heartbeat wire.

… canonical2 (per figs 14:05 PDT) (#421)

* docs: seed release highlights sync doc

* docs(release-highlights): add 🌫 #56 cross-walk + config-bits + 8 uncovered TC list

* docs(release-highlights): 🌻 commit-delta walk (E1–E10) + cross-cutting flags

* docs(release-highlights): 🌊 merge editor pass — canonical case board + (c)/(d) columns

Dedup: 🌫 TC-* labels collapsed into 🌻 E6.{1,2,3,4} per 🌫 vote, aliases preserved.
Adds: (c) swim-37 case-stub + (d) RFC-appendix slot per highlight.
Locks: 32-case canonical board (24 E-series + 5 B-twins + 3 D-cfg + 1 TC-no-genguard).
Pins: TC-no-genguard §3.2 not §3.6; phantom cleanup-debt retracted; feedback-key clarification; maxChainLength boundary-pin.
Surfaces: 2 figs-pending Qs (X1 echo, C1 chain-to-root).

Standing for cohort second-eye: 🌫 / 🌻 / 🩸.

* docs(release-highlights): fix case-count math (36 not 32) per 🩸 second-eye

* docs(release-highlights): +D-cfg.sdq-retry-not-hot-reloadable per 🌻 second-eye

RFC §3.6/§6.5 documents session-delivery-queue.retry.cap + .backoffMs[]
but they're not hot-reloadable in the impl. Add as 37th case to catch
the docs/code-shape mismatch instead of leaving as silent footnote.

* docs(release-highlights): +E6.5 descriptor-content regression per 🌫 second-eye

Snapshot test on continue_delegate tool-description JSON catches descriptor-string
drift (substrate-naming line, bc#11 cross-link, targetSessionKey listing) independent
of runtime delivery path. Lightweight; covers #336/#338 descriptor-content axis.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 35 net-new cases per cohort convergence

E9 + E10 reframed as covered-by-static-harness traceability rows, not net-new
swim-37 work. 25 E-series + 5 B + 4 D-cfg + 1 TC = 35. 🌫 + 🌻 + 🩸 cohort
acked 35 as the canonical number.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 36 (E1-E7 = 26 incl E6.5) per 🩸 byte-check

Off-by-one in prior 35: E6.x = 5 (incl E6.5 add), not 4. 26 net-new E + 5 B + 4 D-cfg + 1 TC = 36.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 37 per cohort convergence

🌫 + 🌻 + 🩸 all reconverged on 37 table-rows (regex-trap on E9/E10 cleared).
Dropping net-new vs table-rows split to match cohort framing; E9/E10 still
footnoted as static-harness covered.

* docs(release-highlights): pin total at 38 (E9/E10 + E6.5 all counted)

🌫 byte-verified 28 E + 5 B + 4 D-cfg + 1 TC = 38 on 162bb97.
My earlier 37 dropped E6.5 from the E-bucket math; 27→28 with E6.5 included.
Final cohort signoff: 🌻 ✅ + 🌫 ✅ + 🩸 ✅ pending final-touch.

* docs(release-highlights): pin both numbers per 🌫 break-the-loop proposal

board_total: 38 (rows on canonical board)
net_new_swim_cases: 36 (38 minus E9/E10 static-harness coverage)

Disagreement during 08:04-08:18 PDT convergence was categorical (which bucket
E6.5/E9/E10 land in), not arithmetic. Two pinned numbers prevents re-derivation.

* docs(release-highlights): +TC-tools-registered-post-deploy (figs 08:54 PDT)

figs-flagged smoke: positive presence-of-tools assertion post-deploy on
candidate prince. Catches the 'all green with one tool missing' precedent
horror. Pairs with TC-continuation-default-off (negative case).

board_total: 38 → 39
net_new_swim_cases: 36 → 37

* docs(release-highlights): rename TC-tools-registered → D-tools.continue-delegate-registered

Per 🌻 + 🩸 convergence: D-tools is the right bucket (deploy/runtime-surface,
not test-case shape). Broadened scope per 🌻's concrete proposal — registry
probe asserting all three tools present in manifest.

Totals unchanged: board_total: 39 / net_new_swim_cases: 37

* docs(release-highlights): +sessions_yield to D-tools manifest probe (🌫 catch)

* docs(release-highlights): explicit base-matrix reference per figs 08:56 PDT

figs catch: 'TOTALITY of test cases, weve ASSEMBLED them more than twice...
SWIM/ directory... should not be conjuring it fresh every time.'

Pin the swim-37 overlay (39 rows) as DELTA on top of the durable base in
openclaw-bootstrap/SWIM/FORMAL-SWIM-RUNBOOK.md §4 + #427 + #412.
Full swim-37 matrix = base ∪ overlay. Not a substitute for canonical.

* docs: release-note for context-pressure band-derivation behavior change

Wave B (cefa09d) changed context-pressure bands from fixed
[25, 80, 90, 95] to threshold-derived [thresholdPct, 90, 95].
At default 0.8 the implicit 25% early-warning band is removed.
Ship-acceptable per cohort review; release-note documents the change
and points to #516 for the earlyWarningBand config opt follow-up.

* fix: restore landed-PR tests missing from rebase fork-point

Three test files from merged PRs (#462, #468, #511) were absent because
this branch forked from canonical2 before those PRs landed. The post-revert
allow-list audit (§3.4) flagged them as deletions from landed PRs.
Restored from canonical2 HEAD (74940e5).

- types.mode-shape.test.ts (#462)
- agent-runner.continuation-span-uniformity.test.ts (#511)
- store.continuation-merge.test.ts (#468)

tmp-drop-me-otel-span-uniformity.md omitted (copilot scratch; safe to drop).

* fix: add rebase.classify to ContinuationSpanName for restored tracer

The revert of 3396b88 restored src/rebase/tracer.ts which emits
"rebase.classify" spans. Commit 4871c81 (fix: close continuation
type design blockers) narrowed startSpan from string to
ContinuationSpanName after tracer.ts was deleted — additive fix to
include the span name in the union.

* feat(continuation): add earlyWarningBand config opt for post-compaction cycle primer

* test(continuation): pin earlyWarningBand default-preservation + opt-out branches

* fix(continuation): add curly braces to satisfy linter

* fix(continuation): unblock early-warning band fire path + make field optional

Three bugs caught in cohort review of v5 (3e88ce5):

1. Suppression guard bug (Silas): non-postCompaction call sites bailed
   with 'ratio < threshold' BEFORE the resolved early-warn band could
   fire. Even with earlyWarningBand explicitly set, ratio=0.25 +
   threshold=0.8 resolved band=25 then was discarded. Guard now
   suppresses only when 'band === 0 && ratio < threshold' — preserves
   the round-to-band-0 dedup edge case while letting early-warn fire.

2. Type-required regression (Elliott): ContinuationRuntimeConfig had
   'earlyWarningBand: number' (required), breaking 3 test fixtures
   (config.test, scheduler.test, post-compaction-delegate-dispatch.test)
   with TS2741. Field already optional at zod + resolver-default site;
   making the type optional matches.

3. Schema baseline regen (Elliott): src/config/schema.base.generated.ts
   needed regen to absorb the new earlyWarningBand field; preexisting
   models.providers.*.request.tls.insecureSkipVerify drift also
   absorbed in the same regen.

Tests added:
- checkContextPressure 'fires early-warning band below threshold when
  earlyWarningBand is set' (default-preservation path)
- checkContextPressure 'does NOT fire below threshold when
  earlyWarningBand is 0' (opt-out path)

All 107 affected tests pass: context-pressure (19), config (9),
scheduler (12), schema.base.generated (10), post-compaction-delegate-
dispatch (23), reply/context-pressure (34).

Cohort cosign chain: 🩸 (root catch v5), 🌊 (default=0 catch),
🌫 (suppression-guard catch), 🌻 (type-required + baseline catch).
