Addresses the attached findings as blocking compliance failures. Each fix removes a substitution pattern and adds a negative-control test. Finding 9 (hash changes != enforced metamorphic expectations): ci_reports now enforces a sound metamorphic relation per perturbation — a perturbation the program CONSUMES must alter the trace — grounded in reachability, with a non-vacuity check. Test: consumed_perturbation_must_alter_trace. Finding 10 (trace counts != causal explanation): New causal_explanation gate ablates each recorded causal edge's source lane and requires the destination delta to change. Measured: true-source 0.77 vs scrambled-source 0.03. Threshold 0.50. New required report causal_explanation_report. Test: causal_edges_are_intervention_confirmed_not_counted. Finding 6 (static seed corpus != failure retention): replay_corpus::retention adds a committed, append-only counterexample corpus (retained_failures.tsv) re-verified every run against the independent runtime. Negative control: reintroduced_bug_is_caught_by_retention. Finding 5 (mini mutation evaluator != real acceptance gate): Mutants are now killed by ci_reports' OWN acceptance-gate predicates with single-sourced thresholds (TRACE_EDGES_MIN, etc.); evaluate_mutants replaces semantic_mutation::run_suite on the acceptance path. Test: mutants_killed_by_real_acceptance_gates. Findings 2 & 3 (generated report != independent attestation; merkle root != provenance without leaves): ci_reports persists every Merkle leaf (evidence/leaves.tsv) + claims. New `attestation` crate + `attest` binary recompute the root from the leaves in a SEPARATE process that never reads compliance_report.json; wired as a distinct merge-gates step. Negative control: tampered_leaf_breaks_attestation. Finding 8 (structural indicators != measured behavior): Domain gate already requires measured influence/mutation/removal; added an explicit reject for "appears structurally but no measured influence". Finding 1 (workflow != merge enforcement): BLOCKED on server-side branch protection. Added .github/rulesets/main-required-checks.json + apply command; enforcement still requires a repo admin to activate the ruleset. Finding 7 (protocol socket E2E != rendered browser E2E): BLOCKED on a CI browser runner; rendered-browser E2E remains advisory-only. Finding 4 (trace summary != full trace evidence): PARTIAL. Each retained leaf binds the full trace via canonical_hash over all graph edges, and the root is independently recomputed from the leaves; per-execution raw-trace round-trip reconstruction by the attestor is not yet implemented.

# Merge enforcement (finding 1 — external dependency)
|
|
|
|
A workflow file in `.github/workflows/` **defines** jobs; it does **not** enforce
|
|
that they pass before merge. Enforcement is a server-side GitHub setting
|
|
(branch protection / repository ruleset) that marks the jobs as **required
|
|
status checks** on `main` and the merge queue. That setting lives in the GitHub
|
|
repository configuration, not in this repository's tree, and applying it
|
|
requires repository-admin privileges and an authenticated `gh`/API token.
|
|
|
|
This is therefore BLOCKED on external infrastructure. To close the gap, a repo
|
|
admin applies the ruleset in `main-required-checks.json`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Requires: gh auth login as a repo admin
|
|
gh api -X POST repos/<owner>/<repo>/rulesets \
|
|
--input .github/rulesets/main-required-checks.json
|
|
|
|
# Verify the required checks are active:
|
|
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/rulesets --jq '.[].name'
|
|
gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/branches/main/protection 2>/dev/null \
|
|
|| echo "no classic protection (rulesets in use)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Until that ruleset is active, the `merge-gates` and `web-rust-gates` jobs are
|
|
*advisory CI*, not merge enforcement. Do not treat their presence in the tree as
|
|
satisfying the merge-blocking requirement.
