v0.12 item 2: the last layering cycle, and the properties five milestones of examples missed - #209
Conversation
…es missed **`policy <-> authority` is gone, and `RECORDED_LAYERING_CYCLES` is empty.** I said this one could not be fixed, and gave a reason that was true but incomplete: `_from_section` constructs an `Authority` and `canonical_grants` consumes one, so neither moves below `policy.py`, and moving their two callers up to `control.py` would change what `policy_hash` is taken over, which is evidence in every receipt. All of that holds. What I missed is that the cycle has another side. `authority.py` imported eight names from `policy.py`, and not one of them is `Policy`: schemas, the strict YAML loader, the condition grammar, type-strict equality, key validation. That is the policy **document grammar**, 433 lines of 2031, and it is shared vocabulary rather than either axis's property. It moves to `grammar.py`, so `authority.py` no longer imports `policy.py` at all and the cycle is broken from the side that was actually loose. SPEC-v0.3 §4.5 requires the two axes to share ONE condition evaluator, because a second would be a second place for `True` to start comparing equal to `1`. That is better served now than before: the one evaluator is owned by neither axis. Nothing changed but an address. Every block moved verbatim, comments included, and `policy.py` re-exports all thirty-four names, so SPEC-v0.1 §8's frozen `__init__` block and SPEC-v0.3 §8's `from .policy import Condition, parse_conditions` both stay literally true. `_LOG` is pinned to `ctrlrun.policy` rather than taken from `__name__`, so no operator's handler is re-routed. **Property tests, and the first one corrected me before it passed.** I wrote "one tamper is one break". Hypothesis falsified it on the second example: altering row n also breaks the link at n+1, because n+1 carries prev_hash over what n used to hash to. Two is correct and my expectation was wrong, which is the same mistake in miniature that the file exists to catch, so the docstring keeps it rather than quietly fixing it. The real invariant is sharper and it is the one that catches v0.11 item 1: **every break names a row the store actually holds.** That defect reported `content_altered 99` and `missing 100` on an eight-row chain, because position came from the document rather than the `seq` column. Reinstating it against these tests fails with "reported a break at [3], and this store holds seq 1..2". Four properties: an untouched chain verifies, as the positive control; a tamper names only rows that exist and does not cascade; one unreadable row costs one row; a deleted row is reported, with the truncation case asserted as **undetected**, which is what SPEC-v0.11 §2.4 states and what the anchor exists for. `derandomize=True` and `deadline=None`: a suite that fails once in a while teaches people to re-run it, and #207 had just finished showing what that costs.

…ot supply Adding it to the `dev` extra was half the change. `requirements/*.txt` are hash-pinned locks generated from that extra by `scripts/lock.sh`, and the `package` job's sdist step installs from `requirements/ci.txt` with `--require-hashes`, so it went red with `No module named 'hypothesis'` while every `check` job passed. That split is the point of the sdist step: an sdist that ships tests it cannot run reads as broken to anyone packaging it downstream, and the guard found exactly that. Regenerated with `scripts/lock.sh`, which touches three locks. The diff is `hypothesis` and `sortedcontainers`, its one dependency, and nothing else moved.

Correct the Policy relocation statement.
src/ctrlrun/policy.py#L42-L44 says “Both names moved down,” but Policy remains defined in policy.py. State that Decision moved to decision.py, while Condition and parse_conditions moved to grammar.py and remain re-exported from policy.py.

Cover the two-statement truncation in the generated property.
When target == size, the property deletes the final receipt but leaves receipt_chain at the deleted sequence. It therefore tests head_mismatch, not the documented undetected truncation. The existing example covers this behavior, but this property is intended to generate deletion positions. Add the rewind case to complete that objective.
Proposed fix
connection = sqlite3.connect(database)
connection.execute("DELETE FROM receipts WHERE seq = ?", (target,))
+ if target == size:
+ previous_hash = connection.execute(
+ "SELECT hash FROM receipts WHERE seq = ?", (size - 1,)
+ ).fetchone()[0]
+ connection.execute(
+ "UPDATE receipt_chain SET seq = ?, hash = ? WHERE id = 1",
+ (size - 1, previous_hash),
+ )
connection.commit()
connection.close()

- assert not report.ok

Two things, both of which corrected something I had told you was settled.
The cycle I said could not be fixed
I recorded
policy <-> authorityinRECORDED_LAYERING_CYCLESwith a reason that was true but described one side only:_from_sectionconstructs anAuthorityandcanonical_grantsconsumes one, so neither moves belowpolicy.py, and moving their two callers up tocontrol.pywould change whatpolicy_hashis taken over, which is evidence in every receipt. All of that still holds.The other side was loose.

policy.py's 2031, and shared vocabulary rather than either axis's property. It moves togrammar.py, below both, soauthority.pydoes not importpolicy.pyat all.SPEC-v0.3.md§4.5 requires the two axes to share one condition evaluator, because a second would be a second place forTrueto start comparing equal to1. That is honoured more exactly than before, not repealed: the one evaluator is now owned by neither axis.Nothing changed but an address. Every block moved verbatim, comments included.

RECORDED_LAYERING_CYCLESis empty, which makes the guard strictly stronger: any cycle now fails.Property tests, and the first one corrected me before it passed
I wrote one tamper is one break. Hypothesis falsified it on the second example: altering row
nalso breaks the link atn + 1, becausen + 1carriesprev_hashover whatnused to hash to. Two is correct and my expectation was wrong. The docstring keeps that rather than quietly fixing it, because it is the same mistake in miniature the file exists to catch, an author writing down what they expected instead of what holds.The real invariant is sharper, and it is the one that catches v0.11 item 1:
That defect reported

Reinstating it against these tests:Four properties: an untouched chain verifies (the positive control, first); a tamper names only rows that exist and does not cascade past two; one unreadable row costs exactly one row; a deleted row is reported, with the truncation case asserted as undetected, which is what
SPEC-v0.11.md§2.4 states and precisely what the anchor exists for. Asserting "some break is reported" for every victim would have quietly encoded the opposite.derandomize=Trueanddeadline=None, so a counterexample found in CI reproduces locally by construction. A suite that fails once in a while teaches people to re-run it, and #207 had just finished showing what that costs.Gate
