Tier-L survey plus the full review trail. v1 was REJECTED by adversarial
review with four blocking findings; this is v2, and the finding below is
the reviewer's as much as mine.
The root cause is neither v1's story ("coverage scope is too narrow" —
true but shallow) nor the reviewer's cheaper one ("the link check points
at one file" — true but catches 3 of 7). It is:
Every coverage instrument in this project counts NAMES. None counts
ASSERTIONS. M-D1-COV counts covers: tags; M-D1-LNK counts rule-ID
strings. Both answer "is this rule mentioned?" and neither answers
"does anything fail if this rule is violated?"
Four of seven defects found this pass are named in the source and inert,
so no name-based check finds them. This subsumes the oldest error class:
all five prior harness-does-nothing instances have the same shape.
Two are mutation-proven, because the reviewer set that bar for findings
they had only read:
AM-7 — folding a 100k-event log from fresh(999) instead of fresh(42),
an unrelated genesis state, leaves the test green. The hash reaches
only a println!; the sole assertion is on elapsed time. And the log is
built across games seeded 42,43,44... so it could not be asserted as
written. evidence/CB-EV-0001 reports "AM-7 replay met, 2,290x" —
unearned on the hash-identical clause. HDN instance #6.
K9 — making Snapshot::take discard its EventSeq and store 0, which
destroys the half of K9 that says "+ the EventId it includes", leaves
the test green. On the acceptance criterion GameKernel §2.4 is zero of
three, not two of three.
Also found: K10, K14, K18 named nowhere in source; AM-10 vacuous (a K6
determinism lint reported under a D4 leak row, over a cb-*-api crate that
does not exist); AM-11's conformance suite does not exist; AM-1b measured
and omitted from the evidence scoreboard.
All twelve challenge findings conceded, none defended on its facts. v1's
prediction was rejected as unfalsifiable AND already determined; the
replacement names its refuting outcome and is beatable in both
directions.
Chaos d4=1, no override. Declaration 1 of the 12-declaration window.
