SWG-4A-02 — ExactScoreDocument

level-2 text  ->  ExactScoreDocument  ->  ScoreBuilder  ->  griff_core::Score
   4A-06..08          (this task)          4A-09

Only the middle box. No parser, no builder, no formatter, no SourceMap, no
dispatch, no conversion in either direction, and no caller. One new module
under swang/src/syntax/ast/, one pub(crate) mod v2; line beside v1, and
two test suites.

Level 2 is not frozen and Phase 4A is not closed.

Commits (no squash — the order is the evidence)

# commit what
1 f447fcc red — shape and boundary witnesses, tests only
2 8cd3b13 greensyntax/ast/v2.rs + private module wiring
3 2e30663 docs closure
4 57feec5 review docs — give the deferred obligation a landing point
5 0160eee review tests — check the boundary, not the version number
6 1ef0642 review tests — walk the trees where the ban is absolute

Commits 1–3 are the task. Commits 4–6 each come from an independent review
round and are docs- or tests-only; no production line changed after
8cd3b13
. f447fcc → 8cd3b13 is the RED→GREEN pair, and it is the reason
this history must not be squashed: flattened, the tests and the
implementation appear together and the evidence disappears.

There is no falsification-repair commit. The mutation round found no hole,
so none was grown to make the count look tidier.

RED evidence, for the lib test target at f447fcc:

error[E0432]: unresolved import `super::v2`
  --> swang/src/syntax/ast/v2_tests.rs:20:12
error: could not compile `griff-swang` (lib test)

plus 3 of the 6 boundary witnesses failing on the missing module and file.
The other 3 pass at commit 1 — they guard state that already holds and had to
survive commit 2, which is the only thing a boundary test can usefully do.
Counting them as RED would have been arithmetic, not evidence.

Two decisions worth the review's attention

Raw shapes, not canonical types. A note's pitch is a u8, not a Pitch;
a meter is two u8s, not a TimeSignature; confidence is a raw u16.
Reaching for the canonical newtypes would move every refusal into a struct
definition — pitch 200 would become unbuildable, and the diagnostic that
should name it (4A-07's, or 4A-09's) would have nowhere left to be raised
from. So the document can hold ppqn 0, meter 0/3, ticks 100..10,
velocity 255, confidence 65535. None of that says such a text will be
accepted; it says this task did not decide. The converse matters more:
everything §3 calls inhabitedchannel 200, duplicate Voice.id,
tuplet 0/0, a zero-duration rest, a string past the tuning — must be
representable, or the exact writer's own output would have no syntax form to
be parsed back into.

marks is a Vec, though the canonical NoteMarks is a set. This is the
one field where §6.2's "order within a repeated slot is semantic" does not
apply, and a sequence is still the right shape. A set would have accepted
marks [tap accent] and handed back [accent tap], and swallowed
[accent accent] — normalization performed by a struct definition, with no
diagnostic, no author, and no place for 4A-09 to say which rule was broken.
The alternative to a sequence is not "no order"; it is "an order chosen
silently". Recorded in decisions.log.md.

Everything else is named slots rather than a concrete syntax tree: nothing
records that a track was written above a master_bar, because §6.2 gives
slot order to the formatter. note/rest are one sum type in one sequence;
the four warning variants are likewise one sequence, not four vectors.

Falsification: sixteen mutations, none survived

Five-state classifier inherited from #190/#192, including the rebuild guard

F11 let the evaluator name the type CAUGHT-BY-COMPILE E0603: module ast is private

On the shape of that table, stated rather than left to be inferred: 14 of
16 are the compiler refusing, not an assertion firing. For a task whose whole
contract is expressed through types, visibility and the absence of an API,
that is the right falsification mechanism — but "16 caught" should not be
read as 16 behavioural tests, and it is not one.

F11 also found the boundary is stronger than the tests claim. mod ast is
private to syntax, so nothing outside the AST can name the document at all,
whatever its own visibility. The text witnesses are the backstop for someone
widening mod ast too — which is exactly what F6c exercises.

Two harness repairs during the round

Both the recurring diagnosis in this series — a pattern too narrow for the
data it runs over
:

  1. The witnesses read doc comments as code. the_document_has_no_serialization_format
    tripped on the module doc saying "there is no Serialize", and
    the_document_performs_no_conversion on the rustdoc link
    [Pitch]: griff_core::event::Pitch. Prose explaining a boundary is not a
    breach of it. Fixed by stripping comment-only lines before searching, with
    a non-vacuity check that the stripped text still contains a known code
    line — otherwise a stripper that removed everything would make every
    witness pass.
  2. The runner's compile classifier missed a resolver failure. F10 makes
    cargo print error: cyclic package dependency and build nothing at all —
    the strongest possible catch — and the classifier scored it NOT REBUILT.
    Widened to recognise it.

The review rounds (commits 4–6)

Commit 4 — the deferred obligation had no landing point. 4A-02 correctly
refused to claim the backlog bullet "after lowering, the evaluator sees only
Score"
— lowering does not exist yet — and split it into a structural half
proven now and a dynamic half deferred to 4A-09. But the deferral existed
only as prose inside a task that was closing, under a *(done)* heading. The
backlog's own rule is that every task carries an Acceptance and that
acceptance must be able to fail; an agent opening 4A-09 would work its local
list, satisfy it honestly, and never learn an obligation had been assigned to
it. SWG-4A-09 now carries it as an explicit acceptance bullet, and 4A-02's
closure points at it.

The closure also claims less than the original entry did in one more
place: "holds author order only until canonical formatting" overstates what
was built, and is corrected.

Commit 5 — Codex P2: the re-export test banned a version number, not a
boundary.
It asserted the token v2 appears nowhere in syntax.rs, which
is stricter than the property it claims: SWG-4A-06's pub use parser::v2::…
exposes no part of the document, so the test would have failed on exactly the
wiring that task exists to add, while its message went on saying "the exact
document stays crate-private" — which was still true. The predicate is now
pub use ast::v2, factored into re_exports_the_level_two_ast so the
narrowing is itself checkable, with a test pinning both directions over
synthetic lines.

Commit 6 — CodeRabbit: a hardcoded ten-file list. The gap is real, but
the suggestion as written (walk swang/src recursively, excluding
syntax/ast) would have reintroduced the defect above two files over: 4A-08's
parser will legitimately produce an ExactScoreDocument and 4A-09's builder
will consume one, and neither lives under syntax/ast. So the two
prohibitions are separated — core/src and cli/src walk recursively, where
the ban is absolute at any depth; the griff-swang surfaces stay named,
leaving the future pipeline free. Verified both ways: a mention added to
core/src/slice.rs, a file the old list never named, is caught; a
parse_exact stub returning the document is allowed.

Codex P1 on 1ef0642 — not a defect, refuted with evidence. It reported
that 8cd3b13 adds the implementation and both test files, with a parent
containing neither. 8cd3b13's sole parent is f447fcc, which holds both
test files and no v2.rs; 8cd3b13 touches only v2.rs and one
pub(crate) mod v2; line. The RED was re-derived in a clean worktree at
f447fcc (E0432, boundary suite 3 passed / 3 failed). No history was
rewritten to satisfy a misreading of the flattened diff — the per-commit
split is visible in git log, which is the rule's own point.

Checks

  • 1418 tests green across core, swang, pattern, cli, ui-core.
  • cargo fmt --all --check and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets clean.
  • cargo check --workspace --all-targets clean, cockpit/preview/plugin
    included, via a stub alsa.pc (libasound is absent in this environment).
    fuzz/ pins nightly and is left to CI — 14/14 green on 1ef0642.

Out of scope, deliberately

The parser (4A-06..08), the checked builder (4A-09), SourceMap (INF-04),
the resource gate (INF-06), level dispatch, a level-2 formatter,
Level2Root, GrammarVersion, Parsed<T>, AstId, FieldRef, any
From/to_score/validate, any serialization, and the level-2 freeze.

Also untouched: the task-index rows for 4A-03 and 4A-04 are still missing the
*(done)* marker their own sections carry. Pre-existing bookkeeping, noted
again rather than folded in.

Tests only. The single non-test line is the `#[cfg(test)] mod v2_tests;`
registration in `syntax/ast.rs`, which is test wiring — there is no way to
add an in-crate test without one.

Two suites, because the claims need two vantage points:

`swang/src/syntax/ast/v2_tests.rs` is inside the crate, where a
`pub(crate)` type is visible, and states what `ExactScoreDocument` must be
able to **hold**:

- the whole §6.1 reference document as data, every level of the tree;
- `note` and `rest` in one ordered slot, so `note, rest, note` survives;
- all four warning variants in one ordered slot, with duplicates intact;
- marks as written, neither deduplicated nor reordered into `NoteMark::ALL`;
- the three `source` states, `None` vs `Some("")` for a track name, and an
  omitted `repeat` distinct from one spelled as the default;
- the six group kinds, eight span techniques, seven marks, two evidence
  sources, four warnings;
- the ugly-but-inhabited states §3 lists: channel 200, duplicate voice ids,
  `tuplet 0/0`, zero durations, a string beyond the tuning, explicit
  evidence at confidence 0;
- and the states a **later** task will refuse: ppqn 0, pitch 200, velocity
  255, meter 0/3, an inverted tick range. Not a claim that such a text will
  be accepted — a claim that 4A-02 did not decide. The scalar parser
  (4A-07) and the checked builder (4A-09) each still have their refusals to
  make, and a struct that could not hold the value would have made those
  refusals unreachable and unattributable;
- `u64` indices past `u32::MAX`, because CORE-01 closed H3 there and a
  narrower syntax form would lose the value on the way in;
- arbitrary UTF-8 in every string, since level 1's `StringLiteral` refuses
  quotes and line breaks by construction and §6.5 gives level 2 escapes
  precisely so the value side does not have to.

`swang/tests/exact_document_boundary.rs` is outside the crate, where the
type's *absence* from the public world is what can be observed. The risk
here is not that the document will be wrong; it is that it will be useful
and quietly become a second durable musical model. Four boundaries:

- `griff-core` does not depend on `griff-swang`, asked of `cargo tree`
  rather than of a manifest, because a grep cannot see a dependency arriving
  through a feature, a rename, or a path two crates long;
- the document is not re-exported from `syntax` or the crate root, and its
  module is `pub(crate) mod`, never `pub mod`;
- nothing outside the AST mentions it — not the evaluator, not the pattern
  compiler, not `griff-core`, not the CLI;
- it has no serialization format of its own, no `Hash`, and no conversion:
  no `From`, `to_score`, `build`, `validate`, or any mention of
  `griff_core`, so the checked constructors stay 4A-09's business.

The text-reading witnesses each also assert their search can find something
— the `pub use ast::v1::{` line, the `pub(crate) mod v1;` line, the derive
list — because a search that cannot fail is not a witness.

RED evidence:

    error[E0432]: unresolved import `super::v2`
      --> swang/src/syntax/ast/v2_tests.rs:20:12
    error: could not compile `griff-swang` (lib test)

and in the boundary suite, 3 of 6 fail on the missing module and file. The
other 3 pass already: they guard state that exists today and must survive
the next commit, which is the only thing a boundary test can usefully do.

`swang/src/syntax/ast/v2.rs`, plus one `pub(crate) mod v2;` line beside
`v1`. Nothing else in the tree changes: no parser, no builder, no formatter,
no conversion, no caller.

The whole module is data. The two decisions worth naming:

**Raw shapes, not canonical types.** A note's pitch is a `u8`, not a
`Pitch`; a meter is two `u8`s, not a `TimeSignature`. Reaching for the
canonical newtypes would move every refusal into a struct definition —
`pitch 200` would become unbuildable, and the diagnostic that should name it
(4A-07's, or 4A-09's) would have nowhere left to be raised from. So the
document can hold `ppqn 0`, `meter 0/3`, `ticks 100..10`, `velocity 255`.
That is not a claim any such text will be accepted; it is the claim that
this task did not decide. The converse matters more: everything §3 lists as
*inhabited* canonical state — `channel 200`, duplicate `Voice.id`,
`tuplet 0/0`, a zero-duration rest, a string past the tuning — must be
representable, or the exact writer's own output would have no syntax form to
parse back into.

**Named slots, not a concrete syntax tree.** §6.2 already settled what is
semantic, so the fields are typed and named: order *between* slots belongs
to the formatter and is not recorded, order *within* a repeated slot belongs
to the music and is a `Vec` that nothing sorts or dedups. `note` and `rest`
are one sum type in one sequence; the four warning variants are likewise one
sequence, not four vectors.

The one deliberate exception is `ExactNote::marks`, a `Vec` although the
canonical model's `NoteMarks` is a set. A set here would silently accept
`marks [tap accent]` and hand back `[accent tap]`, and silently swallow a
repeat — normalization performed by a struct definition, with no diagnostic
and no author. Keeping what the text spelled leaves that refusal to whoever
should make it. Flagged rather than buried, since it is the one place the
"order within a slot is semantic" rule does not apply and the shape still
preserves order.

`#![allow(dead_code)]` is the honest annotation, not an oversight: nothing
outside the module's own tests constructs one of these yet, because 4A-06..08
fill the form from text and 4A-09 lowers it. Wiring it into a caller now is
exactly what the boundary suite forbids.

No `Serialize`, no `Hash`, no `From`, no `to_score`, no mention of
`griff_core`. The exact score text is this document's serialization; a
second one would be a compatibility promise nobody agreed to freeze.

Marks 4A-02 done in the index and its own section, records the acceptance
actually met, and moves the "next" marker to INF-04, which can now design
`SourceMap`, `AstId` and `FieldRef` against a real v2 shape instead of an
imagined one.

Two corrections to the original entry, both in the direction of claiming
less:

**"Holds author order only until canonical formatting"** overstates what was
built. §6.2 assigns the order *between* slots to the formatter, so nothing
records that a `track` was written above a `master_bar`. What is kept is the
order *within* each repeated slot, which is semantic. Recording the rest
would have made this a concrete syntax tree preserving information the spec
calls meaningless.

**"After lowering, the evaluator sees only `Score`"** cannot be discharged
here and is deliberately not claimed. Lowering does not exist at 4A-02, so
no test can observe what the evaluator receives after it. The bullet splits:
the structural half is proven now — the document cannot reach the evaluator
at all, because `mod ast` is private to `syntax` and importing the type from
outside is `E0603` — and the dynamic half stays open until 4A-09. Proving
the second half with code that does not exist is how a backlog starts
believing its own plans.

The decision log gains the one real design decision (marks stored as a
sequence although the canonical counterpart is a set, so that normalization
is never performed by a struct definition with no diagnostic and no author)
and the record of that two-part split.

Level 2 is not frozen and Phase 4A is not closed.

Verified: 16 census witnesses still green.

…g point

Docs only. No production change, no test change, no RED/GREEN rewrite.

Independent review found a real hole in the closure, not in the code.
SWG-4A-02 correctly refused to claim "after lowering, the evaluator sees
only `Score`" — lowering does not exist yet — and split the bullet into a
structural half proven now and a dynamic half deferred to 4A-09. But the
deferral existed only as prose inside a task that was closing. The backlog's
own rule is that every task carries an Acceptance, and that acceptance must
be able to fail; a sentence buried under a `*(done)*` heading satisfies
neither. An agent opening 4A-09 would work its local list, satisfy it
honestly, and never learn an obligation had been assigned to it.

So the obligation moves to where it must be discharged: SWG-4A-09 gains an
explicit acceptance bullet — lowering consumes an `ExactScoreDocument` and
returns a canonical `Score`, and no evaluator, generator, or other
downstream semantic consumer accepts or observes an `ExactScoreDocument` —
with a short note on which half 4A-02 already proved and why the rest could
not be. 4A-02's closure now points at that bullet instead of describing the
split and stopping.

Moving an obligation out of a task that is closing, without moving the point
at which someone must discharge it, only makes it easier to lose — which is
the same failure the split was meant to avoid, one level of bureaucracy up.

Verified: 16 census witnesses still green.

P2 Badge Limit the re-export test to the document type

When the planned SWG-4A-06 level/root and formatter dispatch is added, syntax.rs may legitimately mention a v2 parser or formatter without exposing ExactScoreDocument. This assertion would then fail solely because the token v2 exists, blocking the required level-2 wiring even though the following ExactScoreDocument check still enforces the intended boundary; constrain the test to re-exports of the transient AST rather than every use of the version name.

Correct, and fixed in 0160eee.

The assertion was stricter than the property it claimed. A pub use parser::v2::… from SWG-4A-06 exposes no part of the document, so the test would have failed on legitimate work — while its message went on saying "the exact document stays crate-private", which was still true. A red test that lies about why is worse than a missing one.

The predicate is now pub use ast::v2, factored into re_exports_the_level_two_ast so the narrowing is itself checkable. A new test pins both directions over synthetic lines: pub use ast::v2::ExactScoreDocument; and pub use ast::v2 as level_two; must be seen; pub use parser::v2::parse_exact; and pub use format::v2::format_exact; must be allowed. Narrowing a check is only safe if it still fires on what it was narrowed away from.

The whole-token ExactScoreDocument check stays, so a rename in the re-export path doesn't get around it. Re-ran the two mutations that exercise this boundary: making the module pub is still caught, and the combined "public module and AST re-export" is still caught by four witnesses including this one.

Tests only, from Codex's P2 on #193. No production change.

`the_exact_document_is_not_re_exported` asserted that the token `v2` appears
nowhere in `syntax.rs`. That is stricter than the property it claims. When
SWG-4A-06 adds level/root dispatch, a `pub use parser::v2::…` or
`pub use format::v2::…` is exactly the wiring that task exists to add, and it
exposes no part of the document — but the assertion would have failed on it
while its message went on saying "the exact document stays crate-private",
which was still true. A red test that lies about why costs more than a
missing one, and this one would have fired two tasks from now, on legitimate
work, with a misleading explanation attached.

The predicate is now `pub use ast::v2` — a re-export of the level-2 **AST** —
factored into `re_exports_the_level_two_ast` so that the narrowing itself is
checkable rather than asserted. `the_re_export_check_reads_the_boundary_and_
not_the_version_number` runs it over four synthetic lines and pins both
directions: the document re-exported by name and the module re-exported under
an alias must both be seen; a level-2 parser and a level-2 formatter must
both be allowed. Narrowing a check is only safe if it still fires on what it
was narrowed away from, and that is now a test rather than a claim in a
commit message.

The whole-token `ExactScoreDocument` check stays, so a rename in the
re-export path does not get around it.

Verified: the two probes that exercise this boundary still land.
`make the module public` → CAUGHT by `the_module_itself_is_crate_private`;
`public module AND AST re-export together` → CAUGHT by four witnesses,
`the_exact_document_is_not_re_exported` among them.

Tests only, from CodeRabbit's nitpick on #193. No production change.

`no_production_code_outside_the_ast_mentions_the_document` checked a
hardcoded list of ten files. The gap is real: a production module added
tomorrow is not on that list, so it could name `ExactScoreDocument` and the
witness would not notice. That is the same defect this series keeps finding
— a check whose reach is narrower than the property it claims — one level
up, in the choice of files rather than the choice of pattern.

The suggestion as written was to walk `swang/src`, `core/src` and `cli/src`
recursively, excluding `swang/src/syntax/ast`. Taken literally that would
reintroduce the defect Codex had just caught two files over: SWG-4A-08's
parser will legitimately **produce** an `ExactScoreDocument` and 4A-09's
builder will legitimately **consume** one, and neither lives under
`syntax/ast`. A crate-wide ban would fail on precisely the work 4A-02 is a
prerequisite for.

So the two prohibitions are separated, because they are different:

- **`core/src` and `cli/src` are walked recursively.** The document must
  never cross into the model crate or the CLI, at any depth, now or later.
  A module added tomorrow is covered without anyone remembering to list it.
- **Inside `griff-swang` the named surfaces stay named** — the evaluator,
  the pattern compiler, the exact writer, and the two entry points. The
  pipeline that 4A-08 and 4A-09 will build is deliberately left free.

The walk asserts it found something (at least three files per tree, at least
fifteen overall), because a recursive scan that silently walks nothing is a
witness that passes for the wrong reason.

Verified both directions. A mention added to `core/src/slice.rs` — a file
the old hardcoded list never named — is now CAUGHT. A `parse_exact` stub in
`swang/src/syntax/parser.rs` returning an `ExactScoreDocument`, which is
what 4A-08 will actually add, is allowed.

Addressed CodeRabbit's nitpick on the hardcoded file list in 1ef0642, but not as written — the literal suggestion would have reintroduced the defect Codex caught two files over.

The gap is real: a production module added tomorrow isn't on a hardcoded list of ten files, so it could name ExactScoreDocument unnoticed.

The suggested fix was to walk swang/src, core/src and cli/src recursively, excluding swang/src/syntax/ast. Taken literally, that bans the name across griff-swang — but SWG-4A-08's parser will legitimately produce an ExactScoreDocument and 4A-09's builder will legitimately consume one, and neither lives under syntax/ast. The test would then fail on exactly the work this task is a prerequisite for, which is the same shape as the v2-token check Codex flagged.

So the two prohibitions are separated, because they are different:

  • core/src and cli/src are walked recursively — the document must never cross into the model crate or the CLI at any depth, now or later, and a module added tomorrow is covered without anyone remembering to list it.
  • Inside griff-swang the named surfaces stay named — evaluator, pattern compiler, exact writer, and the two entry points. The pipeline 4A-08 and 4A-09 will build is deliberately left free.

The walk asserts it found something (≥3 files per tree, ≥15 overall), since a recursive scan that silently walks nothing passes for the wrong reason.

Verified both directions: a mention added to core/src/slice.rs — a file the old list never named — is now caught; a parse_exact stub in swang/src/syntax/parser.rs returning an ExactScoreDocument, which is what 4A-08 will actually add, is allowed.

P1 Badge Split the tests and implementation into red and green commits

This commit introduces ExactScoreDocument and its supporting types while also adding v2_tests.rs and exact_document_boundary.rs; its sole parent contains neither, so there is no preceding commit in which the new tests demonstrably fail. Split the failing tests into a red commit before adding this implementation, as the repository explicitly requires judging the red-green sequence per commit rather than from the flattened diff.

The RED commit exists and precedes this one — no change made, because the premise is factually wrong about what these two commits contain.

The finding says 8cd3b13 adds v2.rs "while also adding v2_tests.rs and exact_document_boundary.rs", and that "its sole parent contains neither". Both halves are checkable, and both are false:

$ git log --format='%h parent=%p %s' c456e1b..HEAD
f447fcc  parent=c456e1b  test(swang): SWG-4A-02 red — the exact document's shape and its boundaries
8cd3b13  parent=f447fcc  feat(swang): SWG-4A-02 green — ExactScoreDocument

$ git show --stat f447fcc          # the RED commit — tests only
 swang/src/syntax/ast.rs                |   9 +      <- #[cfg(test)] mod registration
 swang/src/syntax/ast/v2_tests.rs       | 590 +++
 swang/tests/exact_document_boundary.rs | 250 +++

$ git show --stat 8cd3b13          # the GREEN commit — no test files at all
 swang/src/syntax/ast.rs    |   1 +
 swang/src/syntax/ast/v2.rs | 362 +++

8cd3b13's sole parent is f447fcc, which contains both test files and does not contain v2.rs. The GREEN commit touches only v2.rs and one pub(crate) mod v2; line.

And the RED is a real one, not merely an earlier timestamp. Checked out in a clean worktree at f447fcc:

$ ls swang/src/syntax/ast/
v1.rs  v2_tests.rs                     # v2.rs absent

$ cargo test -p griff-swang --lib
error[E0432]: unresolved import `super::v2`
  --> swang/src/syntax/ast/v2_tests.rs:20:12
error: could not compile `griff-swang` (lib test)

$ cargo test -p griff-swang --test exact_document_boundary
test result: FAILED. 3 passed; 3 failed

The three that pass at f447fcc guard state that already held and had to survive the GREEN commit; that is stated in the commit message and in the PR body rather than counted as RED.

One plausible source of the confusion: the per-commit split is visible in git log, but not in the PR's flattened diff, where the tests and the implementation appear together. The repository rule the finding cites is exactly why the history is not squashed.
