Audit-driven migrate-and-retire wave (one read-only auditor per
carrier batch, verdicts row-checked through the full corpus gate):
every retired carrier's assertions are now owned by declarative
fixtures or an existing owner. 238 new fixtures land (corpus 1,239 ->
1,477; cells 2,954), covering enum/str/slice/tagged array elements,
inferred-length arrays, global slice/str zero-init and literals,
global array/pointer field reads and stores, struct-literal slice
fields, struct returns, float arithmetic, size/int limits, sort and
log-vstream behavior, place-addressed stores, and append places.
Rejection rows STRENGTHEN the old nonzero-exit checks to required
diagnostic fragments; all byte-id claims fold into the blanket
test-data-byteid sweep (now 1,142 compared, 0 pinned-divergent).
Four carriers were fully redundant with existing fixtures/lang tests
(749, 722, 765, and 771's byteid rows) and retire without new rows.
Native carriers 171 -> 147 (residual 135 -> 111).
PROJECT_PLAN.md was a historical disclaimer wrapping five still-open
T1 driver items — those move to docs/test-system-v2.md (Open driver
work); the rest is dated 2026-08-05 design history, archived in git.
Also retired-mechanism cleanup: both drivers drop the *.combined.ww
enumeration skip (the amalgamator is gone; leftover debris now fails
loudly instead of being silently accommodated), the consumer-less
m4_combined_epoch.md5 pin is deleted, and the wwi.ww/ww.h/check.ww
comments that still described combined.ww as the live path are
re-cited to the sep reality.
Wwstage-driver-leg byte identity gets one owner. The three carriers'
content identity is already blanket-owned by their r815_/r940_/r951_
corpus twins via test-data-byteid; their only non-redundant assertion
was the ww_ww driver leg, which 989_lib_byteid's 43-unit sweep covers
apart from the zero-dep root-only edge — folded in as a new probe row
(44 units). r940 fixture comments re-cited off the retired carrier.
The four graduated pin families byte-compared under test-data-byteid
but their original fixtures masked the miscompiles at runtime (lone
frame slot, dead code path, pointer accident). Add the discriminating
programs as run fixtures: adjacent-element clobber for the 2-byte
deref store, second-variant match dispatch for fn-type dedup, payload
integrity across the tagged widen of a padded struct, and base64
clear() actually zeroing its buffers. Corpus pins move to 1,229
fixtures / 137 run / 766 run-exit / 2,458 cells with the new identity
hash; the data-byteid floor moves to 915.
Every probe's assertion is owned by a current gate: the compile and
link probes by make all and the bootstrap fixed point; build/run and
cs/ww byte identity by the fixture corpus, test-data-byteid, and
989_lib_byteid; wwstage driver and toolchain parity by 993/995;
checker-diagnostic parity by the corpus' both-stage //ww:error rows.
The wwdump -t/-a dump-parity probes gated the frontend port's
convergence, which the compiler-output identity gates now own end to
end; carrier ran green at retirement.
What was still uniquely alive migrates: smoke.ww becomes corpus
fixture selfhost_smoke (upgraded from a cstage-only build to both
frontends, byte-identical, exit 42 on both toolchains; corpus pins
move to 1,225/763/2,450 with the new identity hash in the same
commit), and sym_link.ww's scope/sym behavior rows become in-language
lib/ww/syntax/symtest.ww under LIBRARY_TESTS. uses.ww (parser-stub-era
-a fixture) and the already-orphaned tagged_ptr_ret.ww/trypromote.ww
retire with the probe corpus. Bootstrap native gates drop to six;
frontend numeric-sync comments now cite the rule-6 mirror instead of
the retired diff probe.
test-system-v2.md is the authoritative owner table and target graph;
CLAUDE.md rule 13 moves from the sizelint gate to authoritative layout
helpers and rule 14 names the new targets; PROJECT_PLAN.md is marked
historical where superseded.
