Summary

  • add an optional result binding to Core branch nodes;
  • lower effectful branch-yield let expressions into isolated Core blocks with one joined result;
  • preserve bounded common-type selection regardless of branch order;
  • retain the proof hardening merged through Lower bounded control flow and digest-bound lawpack facts into Core #193 and regenerate the provider contract pack.

Plain-English Walkthrough

TL;DR

Edict can now compile a bounded let whose value is chosen by an effectful branch into honest, canonical Core instead of rejecting the source before Core exists. [claim:branch-yield-core, confidence:1.00] Both branches remain isolated, one selected result becomes the declared local, and incompatible results still fail during typechecking.

This is compiler infrastructure, not an application operation or an Echo runtime intrinsic. [claim:generic-boundary, confidence:0.99] Target IR deliberately continues to reject every Core branch node, so downstream execution remains a separate generic capability.

Walkthrough

Previously, Edict could lower statement-only branches, but a branch could not produce a value for later Core nodes. The new representation gives CoreNode::Branch an optional binding: statement branches omit it, while a branch-yield let binds exactly one result selected from its two blocks. [claim:optional-binding, confidence:1.00]

The compiler checks each block in its own local environment, determines one compatible bounded result shape, and creates the outer binding only after both blocks succeed. [claim:isolated-join, confidence:1.00] Explicit annotations remain authoritative. Without an annotation, bare integer literals may inherit the other branch's width, while other compatible bounded values use common-type selection after both shapes are known. Record results join recursively by field, so two branches may each be wider in a different bounded field without making the whole record incompatible. [claim:fieldwise-record-join, confidence:1.00] List results likewise join their item shape and length cap independently. [claim:list-dimension-join, confidence:1.00] This keeps bounded common-type selection independent of branch order.

Successful yield-block shape and branch-environment inference are memoized within one compilation. [claim:bounded-inference, confidence:1.00] Authoritative lowering still visits both blocks once in source order. The deep-source regressions assert successful compilation; the elapsed RED/GREEN observations below calibrate the fix but are not a deterministic inference-step oracle.

The changed flow is:

flowchart LR
    A[Branch-yield let source] --> B[Check then block in isolation]
    A --> C[Check else block in isolation]
    B --> D{Compatible bounded result?}
    C --> D
    D -->|yes| E[Core Branch with one result binding]
    D -->|no| F[TypeMismatch before Core]
    E --> G[Canonical Core encoding]
    G --> H[Target IR rejects branch as unsupported]

Caption: Branch-result compilation boundary
  1. The source branch enters two isolated typechecking paths.
  2. Only compatible bounded results join into one typed outer local.
  3. Incompatible results stop before any Core artifact exists.
  4. Canonical Core can carry the result binding, while Target IR support remains explicit downstream work.

The important authority boundary is therefore preserved: Edict owns source checking and Core meaning; this PR does not smuggle application vocabulary, callbacks, mutation plans, or runtime behavior into the compiler or Echo.

The branch also contains an ordinary signed merge from the already-merged #193 line. [claim:integrated-parent, confidence:1.00] Conflict resolution retained both #193's bounded-helper proof hardening and this PR's branch-result semantics. The full integration gate exposed one parent-side CoreNode::Branch test fixture that now declares binding: None explicitly.

The Core CDDL makes binding optional, so existing statement-branch encodings remain valid and continue to use Null block results. [claim:wire-compatibility, confidence:0.99] Rust consumers that destructure the enum must account for the new field, which is the intended compile-time compatibility signal.

RED/GREEN and validation

The review fixes used behavior-calibrated RED tests rather than implementation assertions. [claim:branch-order-proof, confidence:1.00] [claim:source-order-proof, confidence:1.00]

All passed. In local calibration, the formerly timed-out 24-level one-sided case completed in 0.01 seconds and the 20-level complementary case fell from a 10-second timeout to about 0.04 seconds. Those elapsed values are observations, not deterministic test assertions. cargo xtask verify includes 73 passing compiler-spine tests. cargo deny check reports only the repository's existing duplicate-version warnings; advisories, bans, licenses, and sources pass.

**/*: Never amend Git commits, use git rebase without explicit user approval, or force any Git operation; use new commits and regular merge commits instead.
Do not create draft pull requests, and never use a codex prefix in branch names, pull request titles, or commit messages.
Pull requests for issue work must include GitHub auto-close text such as Closes #123`` for every issue they intend to close.
Use codex-think --remember --json when starting a session, entering the repository, or regaining context, and record significant durable events with `codex-think "..." --json`. Treat Think as memory rather than repository truth.
Every pull request body must contain `## Plain-English Walkthrough` with `### TL;DR` and `### Walkthrough`, explaining the prior behavior, new model and dataflow, invariants, failures, compatibility, and verification as applicable.
Use Mermaid diagrams for nontrivial flow, lifecycle, ownership, or component interaction when clearer than prose; every diagram requires an introductory paragraph, the diagram, the exact collapsed caption structure, and a concluding interpretation.
Tag each material technical claim at first occurrence as `[claim:, confidence:]`, cite evidence using repository-relative paths, line numbers, and Git SHAs, and end the explanatory body with a collapsed citations appendix.
If CodeRabbit is actively reviewing, obtain its approval before merge; if unavailable due to limits or credits, request `@codex review please` and wait for the alternate response. Do not treat unavailability as approval unless a maintainer explicitly overrides the gate.
For release preparation, write the release thesis first, reconcile changes from the previous tag, update release policy and tests, verify the milestone has no open issues and no unauthorized crates.io publication occurred, and record a durable release report.
Run `cargo xtask verify` before claiming a branch is ready.

docs/topics/**: Topic shelves document landed behavior: README.md describes current HEAD truth, test-plan.md records verification and known gaps, and optional architecture or rationale pages contain durable supporting information.
For every nontrivial behavior, contract, workflow, release, schema, validation, or public-surface change, identify or create the owning topic shelf, update test-plan.md, add executable evidence, update README.md only after behavior exists, and run cargo xtask verify.
Do not update topic shelves for purely mechanical edits that do not change a contract; explain the omission in the pull request or final report.

For nontrivial behavior, contract, workflow, release, schema, validation, or public-surface changes, follow RED/GREEN TDD: update the owning test-plan.md, write the deterministic test first, observe the RED failure, implement the smallest coherent fix, then mark the case implemented only after executable evidence exists.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/edict-syntax/src/compiler.rs`:
- Line 2422: Add comments at both cache-key sites in infer_yield_block_shape,
including the std::ptr::from_ref(block).addr() usages, documenting that
pointer-address keys remain stable because the TypeChecker holds a shared borrow
of resolved for its entire lifetime, keeping reachable YieldBlock values
immutable and alive.

In `@crates/edict-syntax/tests/compiler_spine.rs`:
- Around line 1902-1930: The tests
nested_complementary_record_inference_remains_bounded and
nested_branch_yield_integer_inference_remains_bounded do not observe bounded
work, only successful compilation. Prefer exposing a crate-visible TypeChecker
inference-call or cache-hit counter and using the staged
resolve_module/type_check path to assert linear work with nesting depth;
otherwise rename both tests to describe successful deep compilation, remove
boundedness wording from their expect messages, and update CSPINE-TP-033 to
avoid claiming exponential-work prevention.

In `@docs/topics/core-ir/test-plan.md`:
- Around line 64-65: Update the statement-branch fixture workflow so these
fixtures are either registered in CORE_GOLDEN_CASES and generated by cargo xtask
core-goldens, or explicitly marked in both fixture rows as test-owned with
manual regeneration requirements. Ensure the documented determinism guarantee
matches the selected workflow and aligns with canonical_encoding.rs.

**/*

📄 CodeRabbit inference engine (AGENTS.md)

**/*: Never amend Git commits, use git rebase without explicit user approval, or force any Git operation; use new commits and regular merge commits instead.
Do not create draft pull requests, and never use a codex prefix in branch names, pull request titles, or commit messages.
Pull requests for issue work must include GitHub auto-close text such as Closes #123`` for every issue they intend to close.
Use codex-think --remember --json when starting a session, entering the repository, or regaining context, and record significant durable events with `codex-think "..." --json`. Treat Think as memory rather than repository truth.
Every pull request body must contain `## Plain-English Walkthrough` with `### TL;DR` and `### Walkthrough`, explaining the prior behavior, new model and dataflow, invariants, failures, compatibility, and verification as applicable.
Use Mermaid diagrams for nontrivial flow, lifecycle, ownership, or component interaction when clearer than prose; every diagram requires an introductory paragraph, the diagram, the exact collapsed caption structure, and a concluding interpretation.
Tag each material technical claim at first occurrence as `[claim:, confidence:]`, cite evidence using repository-relative paths, line numbers, and Git SHAs, and end the explanatory body with a collapsed citations appendix.
If CodeRabbit is actively reviewing, obtain its approval before merge; if unavailable due to limits or credits, request `@codex review please` and wait for the alternate response. Do not treat unavailability as approval unless a maintainer explicitly overrides the gate.
For release preparation, write the release thesis first, reconcile changes from the previous tag, update release policy and tests, verify the milestone has no open issues and no unauthorized crates.io publication occurred, and record a durable release report.
Run `cargo xtask verify` before claiming a branch is ready.
