Found by running ctrlrun verify on the payments pack's document (CTRLRun/ctrlpayments, Phase F): a grant with twelve refunds an hour and a first approve rule on counterparty_new_eq: true graded one guarantee and reported twenty-three not applicable, on a document that admits the action twelve times.

Three things, each with its own test

  • select sized every vector for eighteen spends. _fitted_to_budgets fitted each candidate with PROCESSES * 2 + 2 of room, G4's nine landings doubled, for every guarantee. The room is now the scenario's own: DEFAULT_SPENDS, four, unless the scenario says otherwise; G4 passes PROCESSES + 2. A count budget of twelve an hour now grades G1, G3, G4 and G22 (test_a_count_budget_of_twelve_an_hour_grades_the_guarantees_that_spend_a_handful).
  • The synthesizer stopped at the first rule of a decision. A budget on amount cannot measure the vector a counterparty_new_eq: true rule yields, and the next approve rule was the amount band the budget was written for; the report said "a budget on the grant names a metric the action does not carry" about a document whose next rule carried it. _synthesized yields every candidate of a decision, rule by rule, and select tries each before it concludes nothing binds. _synthesize stays as the first of them.
  • A boolean condition was negated with a string. _negate_value(True) returned "ctrlrun-verify", neither answer; the vector landed in the next rule by accident of eq and carried a value no document could mean. A boolean is negated with the other boolean (test_a_boolean_condition_is_negated_with_the_other_boolean).

Tests touched

T413f, T413g and T413k hard-coded eighteen; they now name the number each scenario is sized for (reg.PROCESSES + 1 for G4, DEFAULT_SPENDS otherwise). T413h's two-band document under a 900 budget is now graded under the lower band's own rule, which fits the budget as written, instead of reported not applicable; the assertion says a resize never drops the upper band below its floor under the upper band's name.

Checks

Locally, on this branch: 4485 passed, 7 skipped, with CTRLRUN_TEST_POSTGRES against a local Postgres 14. Two test_cookbook recipe tests fail on my machine for a reason unrelated to this change (the receipts-to-opentelemetry recipe's environment); CI will say.

Not changed: a grant scoped to resources: still matches nothing for an action without a resource: template (GRANT_RESOURCE_NOTE); the pack's in-process payment.refund entry reads that way and its gateway entry does not, so select picks the gateway entry. That one is a real property of the document and stays reported.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected ctrlrun verify budget sizing across scenarios and grant metrics.
    • Improved policy evaluation so later valid rules are considered when earlier candidates exceed available budgets.
    • Fixed boolean neq conditions to produce the correct opposite boolean value.
    • Improved vector resizing to ensure selected results remain compatible with applicable rules and budgets.
  • Documentation
    • Added unreleased changelog entries describing these verification corrections.

…e, negate a boolean with a boolean

Found by running ctrlrun verify on the payments pack's document: a grant with
twelve refunds an hour and a first approve rule on counterparty_new_eq: true
graded one guarantee and reported twenty-three not applicable.

Three things, each in its own test:

- select fitted every candidate to the grant's budgets with PROCESSES * 2 + 2 of
  room, G4's nine landings doubled, for every guarantee. The room is now the
  scenario's own: DEFAULT_SPENDS, four, unless the scenario says otherwise; G4
  says PROCESSES + 2.
- the synthesizer stopped at the first rule of a decision. A budget on amount
  cannot measure the vector a counterparty_new_eq rule yields, and the next rule
  was the amount band the budget was written for. select now tries every
  candidate of a decision, rule by rule, before it concludes nothing binds.
- a boolean condition was negated with a string that is neither answer.

T413f, T413g and T413k hard-coded eighteen; they now name the number each
scenario is sized for. T413h's two-band document is graded honestly under the
lower band's own rule, which fits the budget as written, rather than reported
not applicable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The verification engine now evaluates all validated rule candidates, negates booleans correctly, and sizes scenario vectors using requested spend counts. G4 uses a process-based spend count. Tests cover candidate selection, budget fitting, and value negation.

Changes

Verification scenario fixes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Candidate evaluation and negation
src/ctrlrun/verify/scenarios.py, tests/test_verify_authority.py
Scenario synthesis yields every validated candidate with its rule reason. Boolean negation returns the opposite boolean. Tests cover boolean, numeric, and string negation.
Spend-aware budget fitting
src/ctrlrun/verify/scenarios.py, tests/test_verify_authority.py, CHANGELOG.md
Selection and budget fitting use requested spend room. Ordinary scenarios use DEFAULT_SPENDS, while G4 uses G4_SPENDS based on reg.PROCESSES + 2. Budget and resizing tests use scenario-specific sizing.

🟠 Major · Exclude expired grants from _bind. · src/ctrlrun/verify/scenarios.py:906-971

906-971: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude expired grants from _bind. select now tries every synthesized candidate. If an earlier candidate fails budget fitting, a later candidate can bind an expired grant because _bind checks only matches_shape and constraints_hold. _deciding_grant rejects that grant, but _fitted_to_budgets falls back to the bound grant when no deciding grant exists. An ordinary scenario can then execute the selection, receive AuthorityDenied, and report VerifyInternalError instead of N/A.

Skip grants for which grant.is_expired(self._t0) is true before binding. Do not add task_holds here: _control_for derives and supplies the selected grant's task, and G24 requires selecting task-bound grants.

The branch was cut from `d07d7c8`, before 0.12.0 was released, so its
`[Unreleased]` entries collided with the `[0.12.0]` section on main. Resolved the
way the file is meant to read: these three fixes are post-0.12.0 and stay under
`[Unreleased]`; the released section is untouched.

Merged rather than rebased, deliberately. The branch is somebody else's and the
conflict is one file with an obvious resolution, so rewriting their commit to
save a merge node is the more invasive of the two options, not the tidier one.

Gate on the result: ruff, ruff format, mypy --strict on 54 files, and
4594 passed with CTRLRUN_TEST_POSTGRES against a local Postgres.

An earlier run of the same suite reported one ERROR, a setup failure on
`test_T311[postgres]`. It passes in isolation and did not recur on a clean
re-run; it was connection contention from other suites running on this machine at
the same time, not this change. Recording it rather than dropping it silently.
