 Keep proof of ownership separate from validity, editability, and readiness. Malformed owned data may still be safely removable. Unresolved identity or applicability must remain unknown rather than be treated as absent, foreign, or aligned.
 
+For lifecycle changes, follow [ownership and completion invariants](docs/tool-design.md#own-the-lifecycle) and select the applicable [lifecycle regressions](docs/testing.md#lifecycle-regressions). Include late handshakes, cancellation during final cleanup, mixed child outcomes, and cleanup retry where those stages exist; active-execution cancellation alone does not cover finalization.
+
 Assess brittleness in touched code during implementation, debugging, review, and maintenance. Fix the producing representation or ownership rule before adding downstream repairs. Normalize once at the owning boundary using format-aware parsers. Remove superseded representations, aliases, wrappers, and redundant tests after verifying affected consumers. Introduce abstractions only when they remove observed complexity.
 
 When fixing a bug, inspect the producing boundary and affected consumers for duplicated interpretation or unclear ownership. Complete any directly related refactor in the same change and remove superseded code. Passing regression tests alone does not establish that the brittleness is resolved. If related cleanup remains, explain what remains and why.

+
+Tracks #3948 under #4027. Measured baseline:
+`c7f6b8bad1a34d5efb30ff2a017672dea1fcdabb`.
+
+The question is which processing phases remain unavailable after a source
+interruption, while keeping native inventory and already collected facts.
+Native identity and provider linkage must stay independent of application-wide
+partial coverage. This is static artifact analysis; no target application or
+native provider runs.
+
+## Observed failure and correction
+
+The interruption producer previously attached one generic failure to every
+remaining relevant file. Graph projection interpreted it as JavaScript AST work.
+Real Joplin reproduced an `analyze-javascript-source` / `ast-static-analysis`
+unavailable scope on keytar's native binary and on unvisited package, HTML and
+source-map files. Public CLI/MCP controls reproduced the same applicability
+problem. Deterministic cancellation before native metadata additionally produced
+a phantom JavaScript semantic module for the binary.
+
+The producer now records the applicable operation/authority and whether the
+phase was entered. `analysis_status: interrupted` includes worker startup and
+does not imply parsing completed; `not-started` identifies unvisited phases.
+Native add-ons need no post-inventory source-processing phase, so neither interrupted
+nor caller-excluded native files acquire AST scopes or semantic modules.
+Actual JavaScript failures, structured-file unknowns, caller selection and byte
+identity remain available. The graph consumes these produced facts.
+
+The AST-only unavailable Evidence helper is replaced by an explicitly typed
+static helper. Normal package/JSON/map gaps also retain their artifact-byte
+authority. Per-file progress uses the same applicability owner: JavaScript keeps
+its source phase, and metadata uses `process_javascript_artifact_metadata`.
+Remaining parsers do not run after interruption. Failure sharing is limited to
+five applicable phases during one interruption; no persistent cache is added.
+
+A second review found the alternate full-analysis semantic builder still
+created modules for every excluded file kind. An actual filesystem-producer
+regression on revision `323fae8cbf3e36677bcb7b22ba31fa1a7e3c5cd4` reproduced
+phantom native/JSON/HTML/package/source-map modules, while selected and excluded
+JavaScript were positive controls. Semantic applicability now belongs to the
+shared `recordUnavailableFile` projection entry point, before retaining limits,
+nodes, roots or unknowns. Three duplicate caller checks are removed. Both full
+and incremental construction use this boundary; actual excluded JavaScript
+continues to carry source-bound unknowns and partial semantic coverage.

+
+Omit `--require-safe` on the baseline timeout run to record its incorrect
+applicability. Its diagnostic exit 0 is not a passing analyst task. A supported
+1 ms deadline includes worker startup; the verifier requires a typed timeout
+and retained partial reference for that cohort. Each structured path supplies an
+independent expected operation and phase-entry status; the safety oracle matches
+all gaps exactly, including unavailable state and unknown confidence. Missing or
+conflicting expectations do not pass.
+
+The native path is explicitly selected. An earlier structured-only run excluded
+it and therefore did not reproduce the native interruption. Input selections
+and that preliminary result remain recorded. Both final cohorts preserve
+partial coverage for unselected/unavailable scopes.
+
+The supplied native Evidence is simulated solely to check exact subject linkage.
+The verifier checks physical companion bytes and the exported parent's root
+digest, validates public CLI/MCP native-trace parity, and reports only after
+owned transport/command/private-file cleanup. Applications and large Evidence
+are regenerable and are not archived.
+
+## Two distinct task projections
+
+The **timeout task** includes the expected typed-timeout preparation, one inline
+native trace and three inline structured-path traces. It checks that native has
+no AST failure and that each unvisited structured phase remains unavailable with
+the appropriate artifact-byte authority and `not-started` status.
+
+The **default-deadline control** models the summary plus one inline native trace.
+Its named structured paths are additionally validated from the already exported
+complete parent, explicitly labelled `exported-parent-validation`. Those checks
+are diagnostic overhead outside the modeled native-task tokens and inside total
+verifier resources. They are not presented as inline metadata answers.
+
+A control that also requested the complete outgoing `package.json` feature trace
+hit stdio admission twice: at least 10,587,373 bytes against a 10,484,736-byte
+result budget, with identical retained parent/trace identities. It is not a
+completed equivalent task or an efficiency baseline. [#4190](https://github.com/morluto/rea/issues/4190)
+records the separate need for exact retained metadata/native fact views. Complete
+export remains available. Do not compare costs across these different tasks.

+file cache, not summed RSS. Counters are observed at payload exit while the
+observer remains alive, not final whole-scope counters. Completed runs verify
+owned cleanup and report no OOM.
+
+Each MCP process is fresh, but input hashing warms its file cache. Build/OS caches
+and shared-host scheduling are uncontrolled. First and repeated retained-query
+wall samples remain separate; isolated query CPU/memory are unmeasured. An
+earlier fixed timeout took 150.173 s wall / 119.468013 s CPU; its exact unchanged
+runtime repeat took 58.827 s / 58.482996 s, with identical non-timing facts,
+Evidence and BPE. Both receipts are retained. The final default control also took 186.085 s wall / 142.371100 s CPU; its
+unchanged-runtime repeat took 62.651 s / 62.240964 s with identical non-timing
+results. The slow final row remains reported. Attribution remains unresolved;
+these runs establish no speedup or performance-equivalence bound.
+
+The stricter post-review verifier reruns also passed without changing production
+code: timeout 162.645 s wall / 125.876114 s CPU / 2,809,643,008 B peak; default
+control 61.367 s / 60.970077 s / 2,526,949,376 B. Both preserve the original final
+analytical fields, identities, coverage and BPE exactly; only timings and the new
+explicit oracle-input field differ. These additional receipts do not replace the
+slower rows above.
+
+After centralizing semantic applicability, both real public controls passed again:
+timeout 60.443 s wall / 59.970344 s CPU / 3,078,295,552 B peak; default control

+BPE and exact CLI/MCP parity remain unchanged. JSON identifies the runtime and
+verifier source manifests for each cohort and keeps all earlier receipts.
+
+Static `cl100k_base`/tiktoken 0.12.0 projections include the selected or complete
+name/description/inputSchema catalog, requests and structured Evidence or parsed
+text errors. Complete-tool-reply alternatives include MCP text/structured
+duplication. The selected two-tool catalog is 5,570 BPE; the complete projection
+is 195,522. Output schemas, host rendering/replay, notifications, model reasoning,
+final answers and billing are unmeasured. Repeated rounds, export, CLI parity,
+tokenization and exported-parent diagnostics are validation overhead outside the
+defined task tokens but inside resource receipts. Removing unsupported claims
+from the incorrect timeout baseline earns no efficiency credit.
+
+## Verification and limitations
+
+The initial production fix had 49 distinct passing cases across eight files. The initial
+pre-progress-cleanup seven-file selection passed 44/44. After progress cleanup,
+the same selection passed 43 and hit the existing 30-second test deadline in one
+native identity case; an unchanged two-file rerun passed both native cases and
+five public CLI cancellation cases. The original deadline was not increased.
+The runtime verifier collects interruption-bearing scopes; separate regressions
+cover native caller exclusion and malformed structured data. Source selection,
+malformed structures, actual worker resource constraints,
+retained large partial observations, cancellation/publication/cleanup, native
+identity and both public adapters remain covered.
+
+The first review found that the real verifier previously accepted any non-JavaScript
+operation with artifact-byte authority and ignored phase-entry status. The
+scenario now supplies exact operation/status expectations independently of the
+production phase map. Six additional oracle cases use the actual retained
+Joplin snapshots and reject wrong metadata operations, entered or missing
+statuses, and absent or conflicting gaps. They passed, bringing the distinct
+coverage to 55 cases across nine files. The production implementation did not
+change during this review correction.
+
+After the shared semantic-boundary correction from the second review, 78
+distinct cases passed across ten files: the nine-file selection passed 65/65,
+and the original root reconstruction file passed 13/13. This includes the
+alternate-builder owning test file's 23 cases. The new producer-boundary
+regression checks both construction paths, all five excluded metadata/native
+kinds, and selected/excluded JavaScript controls. Real Joplin controls exercise
+the public incremental workflow; the alternate full-builder path has filesystem
+boundary verification rather than a separately measured real-app workflow.
+
+Recorded attempts also include the verifier's initial non-null-subject assumption
+and an invalid top-level semantic-module-path absence check. Both were corrected
+before their assertions were used as proof. Corrected cancellation reproduction
+shows the actual native AST scope and phantom module on the baseline. Final
+source and execution-driver versions, source pins, input digests, prior attempts
+and resource receipts are in the [compact JSON record](javascript-interruption-applicability-2026-10-15.json).
+
+Before review, `npm run check && npm run docs:check` passed, including five consistency
+tests: 165.553 s wall / 150.247257 s CPU /
+4,232,491,008 B peak cgroup memory, clean owned exit and no OOM.
+The first full check stopped on a 172-line test callback exceeding the 150-line
+rule. A named assertion helper now shares scope lookup across all four public
+results; the strengthened six-case file passed again before the final gates.
+After the review correction, the full static/docs gate passed again, including
+the five consistency tests: 111.395 s wall / 110.979710 s CPU /
+4,347,125,760 B peak, with clean owned exit and no OOM.
+After centralizing semantic applicability, the final full static/docs gate also
+passed, including five consistency tests: 117.636 s wall / 117.194118 s CPU /
+4,263,153,664 B peak, clean owned exit and no OOM.
+
+At the initial PR revision, 36 CI checks passed; macOS `hdiutil create` failed
+while creating its DMG fixture before REA verification, also failing the aggregate
+check. No Apple fixture/workflow code changed. That attempt provides no passing
+Apple runtime evidence.
+
+Live Electron/application execution, real native-provider behavior, other-platform
+runtime coverage and hosted-agent costs are **NOT_ENOUGH_INFO**. The verification
+does not claim them.

+# Semantic literal byte-budget verification
+
+Tracks #3933 under #4027. All normalized semantic literals and configuration
+defaults use the primitive owner. Its singleton path validates strings/nonfinite
+numbers/negative zero without a Set, sorting or canonical-key serialization.
+Each source analysis owns a bounded set of encountered limit classifications;
+coverage consumes these observations after evaluation. This replaces a recursive
+scan that only saw retained binding/return values. No persistent cache is added.
+
+## Correctness and coverage
+
+Public CLI and actual stdio MCP cases cover quoted strings, cooked templates,
+equivalent concatenation, member receivers, a configuration-only expression
+statement and a small exact control. Direct/default oversized values become
+`resource-limit` unknowns with partial application coverage and
+`javascript_semantic_primitive_bytes = 1048576`. Defaults carry
+`value_resource_limit` inline and an unknown anchored to their config node.
+Known null/false/zero/empty defaults remain exact. Original source/digests and
+CLI/MCP identity parity are preserved.
+
+Member and destructuring projections use the shared slot owner's tagged value.
+An encountered limit stays visible even when a subsequent projection selects a
+healthy sibling: the selected value remains exactly `7`, while file coverage is
+partial. This avoids inferring completeness from the final retained values alone.
+The duplicate raw default reader and superseded retained-value scan are removed.
+
+Boundary controls admit 174,762 UTF-16 units (1,048,574 estimated JSON bytes)
+and reject 174,763 (1,048,580 bytes). Actual arithmetic corrected the earlier
+published 1,048,578 total; the unit-count boundary assertions were already correct.
+The estimate counts six bytes per unit plus two quotes. It does not establish
+actual ASCII JSON size above 1 MiB or an observed OOM.
+
+The initial main baseline reproduced both public literal failures, with addition
+and small controls passing. A mistaken optional-limit-array control was corrected
+before the separate domain reproduction (2 failed/16 passed). Review head
+`40b9d3c5` then reproduced the additional projection/default gaps (8 failed,
+25 passed). The first review correction passed 65/66 focused tests; a doubling
+chain now truthfully retains an additional encountered expression-depth limit,
+so its byte-growth assertion was updated to allow other recorded limits.
+Prior validation on the restored runtime: **66 focused tests** in five files and **932 semantic tests**
+in 36 files, with overlapping domain coverage. The large-wire fixture retains
+16 individually admitted values and at least the former aggregate UTF-16 payload,
+plus complete CLI/MCP delivery, typed identities, empty strings and retained
+tracing. Inputs regenerate from the tests.
+
+## Endpoint identity compatibility
+
+An attempted endpoint normalization at `5808872` passed its new local cases and real Obsidian control, but failed the existing CI endpoint-payload acceptance workflow (1 failed/1,573 passed/19 skipped in that shard). It violated the established full endpoint lookup/trace contract. This extension was reverted; endpoint values are lookup identities, outside the normalized primitive lattice. The original large endpoint is preserved. Corrected public validation passed **7/7** across two files; this adds one acceptance workflow to the previous 66-case focused selection (**67 distinct cases**, not one 67-case invocation). Its acceptance workflow now also normalizes that identical string as an exported primitive, requiring the typed value bound while endpoint lookup, both trace workflows and version comparison remain usable. Prior measurements and failed attempts remain in the JSON record. Production source is restored byte-identical to `38d263a`; the 932-test semantic run belongs to that state. Final full static and documentation gates (five consistency tests) passed after the compatibility correction.

+## Real application control and costs
+
+Official Obsidian 1.14.4 ASAR, selected `package.json` and `main.js`. Follow the
+acquisition/digest and existing verifier command in
+[module-reference verification](javascript-module-references-2026-10-15.md).
+Use three alternating-order query pairs with CLI parity on each revision.
+Application code is not executed.
+
+The final correction retains the exact baseline full parent/view Evidence IDs,
+23-row fact digest, source coverage and unknowns. Static `cl100k_base` task costs
+remain 16,548 with selected name/description/inputSchema contracts, or 204,093
+with the full catalog projection, for the reference workflow. Serial legacy
+reads also keep their original costs. The query projection improvement belongs
+to #4097; these are controls for semantic normalization and coverage.

+# Native handoff byte-identity verification
+
+Tracks #3926 under #4027. Baseline: `9f8659e0536e4e50a438f5b9d5661f3c9624f6ac`.
+Final integration base: `62bf09809ef7bb224028916424f8f07652a20f4f`.
+
+The analyst already knows an ASAR-relative native path and supplies prior native
+Evidence. The question is which Evidence can be linked to that component's exact
+bytes. Discovery and native-provider execution are outside this task.
+
+## Observed behavior and correction
+
+The native-node producer distinguishes a content digest from a canonical path
+whose bytes are unavailable. Its unavailable observation legitimately cites the
+containing archive. The handoff consumer previously treated that supporting
+artifact digest as the native component's digest.
+
+Public CLI/stdio MCP regression: the missing-companion case failed and the
+available-byte control passed. Real Joplin reproduced the same result: missing
+keytar bytes produced an `evidence-linked` handoff with the ASAR digest and the
+simulated container observation. CLI/MCP agreed on that incorrect answer.
+
+The consumer now uses only the node owner's content-digest identity. The fallback
+observation scan is removed. Unavailable native nodes retain their canonical
+path, availability, container-backed provenance and partial coverage in the
+inline graph; they yield no false actionable handoff or native Evidence link.
+An empty handoff list describes eligibility, not absence of native components.
+The per-query node index is allocated only after an eligible target exists; no
+persistent cache, schema, tool or target authority is added.
+
+Final real checks passed both cases with exact CLI/MCP trace parity. The available
+control preserved the complete parent/trace Evidence IDs, native facts, links,
+coverage and all token projections. The missing control preserved its parent,
+native node, source provenance and coverage, while removing the wrong handoff
+and container Evidence link.

+Verify the asset digest above before extraction. The ASAR is 233,575,014 bytes,
+SHA-256 `767df409b18effe60421fbefcca873de237c7e813eac744ecdeebbc5e825a33a`.

+All extracted component hashes are in the JSON record. 7z reported one
+trailing-data warning for the AppImage's embedded SquashFS and exited 0.
+
+Both cases select only `package.json` for static source analysis while retaining
+the inventory. The available case stages all three native companions; the other
+43 unpacked entries are not staged. The missing case stages none. Whole-application
+coverage is therefore partial in both cases, independently of the selected
+native component's known or unknown byte identity. Neither the application nor
+a native analysis provider is executed. Native Evidence is explicitly simulated
+to test exact subject linkage. Live Electron, real Ghidra/Hopper/IDA behavior and
+Windows/macOS verification are **NOT_ENOUGH_INFO**.
+
+## Reproduce the public workflow
+
+Use pinned Node 24.18.0/npm 11.16.0, `npm ci`, then `npm run build:cached`.
+The verifier returns compact records and deletes its private exported parent and
+CLI input after owned cleanup. No downloadable application or large Evidence is
+archived.
+
+```sh
+for mode in available missing; do
+  node scripts/verify/javascript/native-handoffs.mjs \
+    --artifact "$input_root/cases/$mode/app.asar" \
+    --addon-path node_modules/keytar/build/Release/keytar.node \
+    --native-sha256 0700016bcd761cbe02d275f2046c7cc42f39f730a50d66e3d3307aa9d413373a \
+    --source-path package.json --rounds 3 --cli-parity --require-safe
+done
+```
+
+Add `--tokenizer-python /absolute/path/to/python-with-tiktoken-0.12.0` for the
+reported BPE projections. The npm alias `verify:javascript:native-handoffs`
+builds first; recorded costs use the direct Node invocation above after building.
+For a pre-fix observation, run the saved verifier on the baseline build without
+`--require-safe`; `safe_identity: false` is an incorrect answer, not a passing
+analyst task. Paths affect serialized requests and some Evidence identities.
+
+The exact resource runs additionally used the preserved
+[8 GiB observer](https://github.com/morluto/rea/blob/b3bdabab694af1f9801eff7caf75001b92314a58/experiments/analysis-efficiency/resource-run.py)
+and adjacent `resource_payload.py`; both hashes are pinned in the JSON.

+Whole-verifier resources include input hashing, analysis, three retained trace
+queries, export, CLI parity and tokenization. One CPU, 8 GiB hard cap, 6 GiB early
+stop, no swap; cleanup verified and no OOM. Memory includes charged file cache,
+not summed RSS. Counters are at payload exit while the observer remains alive.
+The available control's final wall and CPU times are substantially higher than
+baseline. Earlier post-fix controls on the original base took 61.657/74.956 s wall
+and 61.135962/60.352428 s CPU for available/missing cases; their complete receipts
+remain separately recorded. The final missing case took 59.738 s wall. This
+variability is unresolved and cannot be attributed to the native consumer change.
+These runs establish neither speedup nor performance equivalence. Input hashing warms the ASAR
+cache, build/OS caches and shared-host scheduling are uncontrolled. Fresh MCP
+sessions do not establish OS-cold conditions. First post-analysis and repeated
+warm-query samples are preserved separately; query CPU/memory are unmeasured.
+
+One defined task is one analysis summary plus one retained trace, with the path
+and prior Evidence already supplied. Static `cl100k_base`/tiktoken 0.12.0 counts
+include both requests, replies and name/description/inputSchema contracts:
+
+| Available-byte task, unchanged before/after     | BPE tokens |
+| ----------------------------------------------- | ---------: |
+| Selected catalog + structured replies           |     12,340 |
+| Selected catalog + complete tool replies        |     18,906 |
+| Full catalog projection + structured replies    |    202,292 |
+| Full catalog projection + complete tool replies |    208,858 |
+
+These are alternative reply/catalog projections. The selected catalog alone is
+5,570 BPE; the full projection is 195,522. Output schemas, annotations, host
+rendering/replay, reasoning, final answers and model billing are unmeasured.
+Repeated queries/export/CLI/tokenization are validation overhead outside this
+one-task token count, but inside resource receipts. Missing-case structured-task
+counts change 11,372 → 11,103 by removing unsupported claims; the incorrect
+baseline earns no efficiency credit.
+
+## Regression and verification record
+
+The initial four-file focused selection passed 24 tests. The two public cases
+were rerun after adding named summary-result parsing and correcting an optional
+architecture factory input. Omitting that field instead of passing null produced
+byte-identical normalized simulated Evidence in all four real-case inputs.
+The initial CLI-selector harness error and first typecheck failure are retained
+as harness/validation attempts, not product reproductions.
+
+After syncing the reviewed upstream changes, the updated application workflow
+CLI acceptance file passed 34 tests, bringing the focused selection to 58 distinct
+cases across five files. Both Joplin controls were then repeated on the final
+integration base. Canonical byte identity is also used by the related version
+matching/content comparison consumers; no equivalent observation-digest fallback
+was found there.
+
+Final `npm run check && npm run docs:check` passed on the integration base,
+including five documentation consistency tests: 128.732 s wall, 115.518920 s CPU,
+4,301,684,736 B peak cgroup memory, clean owned exit and no OOM.
+
+Final public and static/docs outcomes are recorded in the
+[compact measurements and source pins](javascript-native-handoff-identity-2026-10-15.json).

+# Atomic RE through Code Mode
+
+This is an **in-progress experiment**, not an integrated provider release. Branch
+`experiment/atomic-codemode-20261016` starts at main
+`42fc6c53ae188978deb3bedfe88287b6b316ba22` and carries the previous atomic-facts
+prototype. Historical measurements in `../atomic-re-tools/` retain their original
+baselines. No PR or merge is intended.
+
+The goal is a real model completing reverse-engineering questions through
+composable facts, with Code Mode as the calling adapter. A configured feature flag,
+a scripted verifier or a small response does not prove that goal.
+
+The reference is [Hex-Rays IDA MCP](https://github.com/HexRaysSA/ida-mcp/blob/df6de7985b534a964c125d5a86e41b26b17b14f6/ida_mcp/mcp.py):
+an on-demand `reference` lookup and an execution entrypoint over a richer analysis
+API. This experiment uses JavaScript and a QuickJS WASM environment rather than
+Python in the host process. It exposes only declared static analysis capabilities.
+It does not add target execution, patching or GUI control.
+
+Three boundaries own the implementation:
+
+- `provider.mjs`, `native-ir.mjs`: existing REA native target/process owners and parsed Kuna
+  string/reference/SSA facts, retained sources, freshness and cleanup.
+- `api.mjs`: named, validated fact/relationship contracts and session admission.
+  SDK callers, CLI scripts and both MCP adapters use these same methods.
+- `executor.mjs`, `server.mjs`, `cli.mjs`: bounded JavaScript composition and
+  presentation. No analysis is reimplemented in the execution environment.
+
+The complete Code Mode MCP catalog is `open_binary`, `reference`,
+`execute_javascript`, `close_binary`. Setting `REA_ATOMIC_ADAPTER=direct` exposes
+the same fact API as `facts_*` MCP operations for comparison. This is a distinct
+experimental server; the production REA catalog is not filtered or replaced.
+
+Use the pinned Node, an existing REA build and a caller-supplied Kuna 1.833:
+
+```sh
+npm ci --prefix experiments/atomic-codemode --ignore-scripts
+node --test experiments/atomic-codemode/*.test.mjs
+REA_KUNA_COMMAND=/absolute/path/to/kuna node experiments/atomic-codemode/server.mjs
+```
+
+The local MCP registration for real model trials is named `rea-codemode`.
+`agent-trial.py --mcp-entrypoint /absolute/path/to/server.mjs
+--server-name rea-codemode --protocol-profile atomic --profile-parent /tmp` creates an isolated
+configuration, home and empty working directory for the model. Shell/file tools,
+web search and delegation are disabled. No repository or oracle is placed in that
+workspace. The copied authentication file is removed with the isolated profile.
+Model output, actual MCP calls, original errors and usage remain in the trial
+directory. `REA_ATOMIC_TRACE` and `REA_ATOMIC_EVIDENCE_DIR` retain actual API calls
+and complete sources outside the model workspace when explicitly selected by the
+evaluator. The ambient environment and credentials are not logged.
+
+Current bounds: 64 MiB guest heap, 32 KiB code and script value/error payloads, 64 host calls per execution,
+120 seconds wall deadline and 2 seconds of guest synchronous execution; native requests have existing supervision, an 8 MiB
+capture budget and 1 GiB function-memory limit. Retained source storage is 64 MiB
+per target, with two resident indexes (each derived from at most 2 MiB diagnostic
+or 8 MiB native wire source). Compressed native graphs admit at most 32 MiB decoded
+JSON plus independent row/text/relationship bounds. One decoded Evidence text view
+up to 32 MiB is also retained per lease; these source bounds are not parsed-heap
+size guarantees. Sources are
+content-digested and retained until close; explicit evaluator copies survive
+close. Capacity failures are explicit, not clipped facts. Leases and snapshot
+handles prevent cross-session joins.
+
+Invocation context and observed source IDs are additional bounded receipt
+metadata; the script payload bound is not a 32 KiB whole-MCP-wire limit. A real
+MCP probe found that a 40,000-byte guest exception bypassed that payload policy
+and produced a 40,183-byte response. Oversized errors now return explicit
+`output_budget` with omission metadata. Escaping expansion is checked too;
+ordinary smaller errors remain intact. `verify-executor.mjs` confirms real MCP
+delivery and continued access to source Evidence collected before the exception.
+It measures response bytes, not model tokens or an analysis speedup. Targeted JS
+tests at this stage totaled 42, alongside the separate real-provider and native-writer checks.
+
+The diagnostic SSA format still has incomplete CFG and phi predecessor coverage.
+The opt-in [native recovered IR experiment](native-engine.md) adds full recovered
+CFG edges, exact value/operand identities, phi incoming-edge bindings, selected
+`values`/`blocks` reads and derived control dependence. It requires an explicitly
+pinned patched engine; stock Kuna does not gain those capabilities from a wrapper.
+Runtime successors, memory aliases and machine-semantic equivalence remain
+unknown. Other providers are not yet wired to this experimental service.
+
+The initial [actual model comparison](trials.md) favors the focused traditional
+workflow. The seeded value-origin task has lower cumulative input and wall time
+through Code Mode, but initially exposes an IR-to-machine-path error. The revised
+trial correctly explains that machine path with lower observed task costs;
+broader claims still require more than this single seeded task.
+
+The large SQLite VM diagnostic task also completes when its native graph exceeds
+capacity. Atomic direct beats Code Mode on cumulative input and wall time in
+that sample, and a traditional reused-project run is fastest. The actual CLI
+client already exposes JavaScript dispatch in every lane, regardless of requested
+feature flags. MCP request counts therefore do not establish fewer model rounds;
+the ledger now records actual model responses and client dispatch/wait calls.
+
+`instructions` reads selected machine byte/decode windows through the same
+owner. Recovered operations use `origin_address` and blocks `origin_start`;
+these locations cannot be substituted for machine branch destinations. The
+value-origin trial demonstrates why this boundary matters. The experiment
+now has fourteen fact methods, still behind the same four-tool Code Mode
+catalog.
+
+`calls` connects recovered call operations to native target specifications and
+separates argument SSA values from passing storage. `values(is_input:true)`
+selects retained callee inputs for exact storage comparisons. These candidate
+links preserve snapshot identities, missing specifications, unknown storage and
+runtime-binding limits. The [cross-function task and oracle](call-oracle.md)
+are fixed before its real-model trials; the graph wire format is version 3, with independent version-1 call facts.
+
+`references` now selects incoming exact-address references or outgoing
+instruction/function references, with native kind filtering, field selection and
+paging. Source Evidence plus `source_row` identifies an occurrence. Function
+applicability, excluded/unattributed rows, indirect targets and discovery stay
+explicit. `fields:[]` requests only the always-retained identity columns across
+projection contracts. The [reference question and independent oracle](reference-oracle.md)
+cover real SQLite VM aggregates and a machine call omitted from optimized IR.
+
+`bytes` reads explicit virtual-address ranges as native loaded-image hex without
+decoding them as instructions. Batched reads preserve short reads and individual
+failures, with 64 KiB aggregate selected-byte capacity to bound hex/bridge growth.
+Complete hexdumps remain in Evidence. The original-file-offset mapping and live
+runtime memory remain unknown. This closes a direct byte-reading contract gap
+for data tables; it does not establish arbitrary memory-alias analysis.
+
+`functions` provides selected name/alias/entry reads. Native snapshots report
+code and recovered-IR facets separately, preserving readable code when graph
+extraction is unavailable. Real capacity and cold/warm MCP checks are documented
+in [native-engine.md](native-engine.md). Whole-model costs and unequal-depth
+comparisons remain separate in the trial report.
+
+The corrected SQLite comparison reaches the formatter implementation in all
+three interfaces. Code Mode uses fewer calls than atomic direct in that sample;
+a traditional run reusing its persistent whole-project cache is faster than
+Code Mode's fresh lease. Cache state, completed-answer coverage and actual
+uncached tokens must therefore accompany any cost comparison.
+
+SDK views share immutable parsed inventories with their owner. A real SDK probe
+initially changed a returned string and made the next query disappear under the
+same Evidence ID. Freezing at the cache boundary fixes that producing rule,
+without copying or parsing the entire inventory for each read. `verify-sdk.mjs`
+checks the real provider's string/metadata/function views and complete retained
+source digest. The fixed probe passes under the bounded runner (1.328 seconds,
+1.144 family CPU seconds, 110.6 MiB kernel family peak, zero OOM kills and verified
+payload cleanup); it is a correctness check, not a model-cost measurement.
+
+Encoded size is another real coverage boundary: two SQLite functions initially
+lose even their C because pretty JSON exceeds transport capacity. The native
+patch now uses bounded compact serialization and a graph-only failure when
+needed. Parser's full graph fits; Pragma retains identical C with an explicit
+missing graph. The 8 MiB bound remains. See the exact sizes, rebuilt engine digest
+and verification scope in [native-engine.md](native-engine.md).
+
+Completion requires actual model Code Mode use, independently checked task
+answers, shared atomic/direct/Code Mode semantics, needed relation coverage,
+failure/cancellation/identity tests, and equivalent completed-task measurements
+including discovery/retries, actual model usage, cold/warm analysis, CPU and
+process-family peak memory. Negative cases such as the small SQLite function
+must remain in the comparison.
+
+The outgoing-reference real-model pair now completes with identical required
+facts and explicit coverage limits. In its single sample, Code Mode uses 264,680
+cumulative input / 93.837 seconds versus direct's 285,086 / 106.183. The shared
+CLI/API also verifies the VM aggregates on unpatched stock Kuna 1.833. These are
+scoped positive results alongside the earlier mixed adapter comparisons, not
+proof of general superiority. Details and retained failed/partial attempts are
+in [trials.md](trials.md).
+
+Recovered calls and their boundary values now survive full-graph capacity
+failure. The real VM capture preserves 416 call operations and 1,294 boundary
+values while its graph remains unavailable. Values clearly state their partial
+scope; definition IDs do not imply readable defining operations. See the
+[boundary question and oracle](boundary-oracle.md) and its completed real-model
+pair in [trials.md](trials.md). Both answers pass, using one VM capture each.
+Code Mode's single-sample latency is lower, with mixed context costs; broader
+efficiency remains unproven. The focused JS suite at that stage passes 49 tests.
+
+Available snapshot call facets now include `by_opcode` known/unknown-target
+counts and their own coverage. The owner derives them once from the same
+validated immutable calls used by selected reads, including dead operations;
+target knowledge is independent of opcode. Empty available facets report zeros,
+while unavailable facets omit counts. This small aggregate addresses an observed
+cost in the real boundary pair: paging the entire call set just to count it.
+Both subsequent real-model answers satisfy the unchanged question/oracle without
+that paging. In the new sample direct is faster and lower on cumulative/uncached
+input than Code Mode, reversing the preceding latency ordering. Whole-task
+effects remain mixed; see [the complete results](trials.md). This aggregate is a
+shared fact-layer improvement, available to either adapter.
+
+The shared owner also checks the native cleanup `Result` before releasing its
+lease or clearing retained state. A tagged cleanup failure now stays retryable;
+MCP errors retain the lease context and reported resources. The real SDK
+failure-injection verifier first reproduces the old false success, then verifies
+both close and target replacement retain the staged file/owner until a successful
+retry. Both public MCP adapters preserve that error and retry successfully.
+These use an injected tagged failure, not an observed engine cleanup incident;
+native reads and subsequent cleanup use the real provider. See the recorded
+scope and resource receipts in [native-engine.md](native-engine.md).
+
+A [subsequent diagnostic probe](projection-experiment.md) measures the VM's full
+17 MB recovered graph and much smaller selected definition neighborhoods. It
+supports trying a bounded operation/value facet, while preserving unresolved
+definitions and unavailable CFG. The following implementation now makes that
+facet callable; the original diagnostic remains separate from public results.
+
+`snapshot.facets.operations` distinguishes a complete recovered graph from a
+bounded call-rooted definition projection. `operations`, `values`, selected
+definition/use `relations` and `slice` share the same parsed operation owner in
+either case. Projection coverage preserves unexpanded definition counts and
+selected slice frontier reasons; CFG/controller reads remain unavailable.
+Native operation reads retain `is_dead` and literal operand/value identities.
+Coverage returns compact counts and bounded issue text, with complete native
+details retained in Evidence. [The new question/oracle](projection-oracle.md)
+are fixed before real-model trials of the PHI format alternatives.
+
+Both first PHI-format model answers pass the full oracle using one VM analysis
+and a six-operation selected trace, with the global graph/use limits intact.
+The trace reveals two format sources at each shared call, verified against byte
+and machine evidence. [Costs and source review](trials.md) also record a direct
+documentation-lookup miss; named discovery needs fixing before rerunning the
+same task. No general adapter speedup follows from that first pair.
+
+Named reference lookup now accepts canonical IDs or exact displayed names,
+including space/comma-separated lists. One presentation map supplies direct
+registration and documentation names; unmatched terms remain explicit. Selected
+schemas come from named contracts, use input semantics (defaulted fields stay
+optional), and are cached immutably by Zod schema identity for the process.
+Validation stays in the API registry; documentation has its own module. Both
+actual MCP catalogs and all fourteen reference schemas validate. The unchanged
+PHI question/oracle were rerun: both answers pass again, but direct has a native
+timeout followed by a successful retry. Complete costs and the unknown timeout
+cause remain in [trials.md](trials.md); this does not isolate an adapter speedup.
+
+The next observed atom boundary is a wide PHI. One real VM operation has 156
+inputs; its old default single-node slice is about 44 KB and exceeds the guest's
+32 KiB result budget. Native operation/slice defaults now return opcode, output
+and exact input/definition/constant counts. Explicit detailed fields still work.
+`relations({kind:"operands",seeds:[id],input_indices:[0,105,155]})` reads selected
+slots; omitting the selector pages all slots. Each slot retains value/definition
+and phi predecessor/edge identity, including null values and definition-free
+constants/inputs. Counts concern recovered facts, not source function arity.
+
+Full and projected native operations use the same owner. Relationship paging
+counts existing groups before materializing only the requested page; identity
+reads deduplicate requested IDs in caller order. Diagnostic SSA explicitly lacks
+native operand relations. The discriminated relation schema advertises the same
+seed types and selector applicability enforced at runtime. The fourteen-method
+API and both adapters remain shared; no new engine or output-budget increase is
+needed. The [seeded wide-operand task/oracle](operands-oracle.md) is separate from
+the earlier PHI-format question and is pinned before model trials.
+
+Both actual wide-operand model answers now pass that fixed oracle, including
+distinct edges sharing a value and absent-slot versus unretained-seed semantics.
+Each performs one native analysis and reads only selected slots, distinct values
+and their immediate definitions. Code Mode takes 95.699 seconds versus direct's
+91.817, with nearly equal cumulative input and lower uncached input. Its four
+discovery lookups prevent fewer MCP requests from becoming fewer model responses.
+These [mixed costs](trials.md#selected-wide-phi-input-relationships) validate the
+fact boundary while leaving broad efficiency unproven. The current shared JS
+suite passes 57 tests; the Python cost-ledger suite passes three.
+
+Discovery now also offers `reference({view:"index"})`: the complete fourteen
+method names and descriptions, without schemas or return contracts. Follow with
+`view:"contracts"` and exact names for only the needed inputs. The default
+contract view and named/topic lookup stay compatible. Both views use the same
+registry and presentation map; index access never constructs unrequested schemas.
+The index describes declared methods, while `snapshot` remains the live coverage
+authority. This addresses observed blind discovery without inventing aliases or
+changing analysis facts; its whole-task effect must be measured on the unchanged
+wide-operand question.
+
+The identical question now completes correctly through both indexed adapters.
+Code Mode uses the intended index plus one named lookup; discovery drops from
+four calls to two, without changing the seven fact reads. The new pair takes
+about 98.8 seconds each; cumulative input favors direct, uncached input favors
+Code Mode. All four wide-operand answers pass, with no retry or OOM. Costs remain
+mixed. A selected-slot read still incurs whole-function native decompilation on
+a fresh lease; phase profiling is the next computation question, separate from
+the now finer fact/query boundary.
+
+The [native phase study](native-compute-study.md) now measures the VM drive at
+about 34 seconds, C rendering at 0.22 seconds and projection at 0.03 seconds.
+Repeated new native processes do not gain the API owner's warm result reuse.
+Its subsequent [bounded codec implementation](native-graph-transport-study.md)
+now returns the complete 21,349-operation VM graph in about 3.79 MB, inside the
+unchanged 8 MiB wire budget. Selected definitions/CFG reads and decoded Evidence
+work through both real MCP adapters; all graph fields and ordinary C/calls match
+the prior complete golden. Same-lease reuse is about 67 ms after a 39.7-second
+fresh capture, with resource limits and no OOM. The [next question/oracle](savepoint-control-oracle.md)
+start from names/error messages and exercise the new condition/CFG coverage.
+Two [real-model pairs](savepoint-control-study.md), including a discovery-guided
+repeat, answer both local guards correctly without a whole-report fetch. Code
+Mode uses fewer MCP requests, but whole-task costs are mixed and a large capture
+time variation remains unexplained. Both clients already provide JavaScript
+orchestration. Source fidelity is not machine equivalence, provider parity or a
+general speedup. The [native switch experiment](switch-study.md) now exports and independently checks
+182 labels over those 149 targets, exposes selected case-to-edge relations and
+keeps them readable when a 2 MiB native output budget omits the full graph.
+Both real models now answer the selected-case/default question correctly using
+one retained capture and focused case/byte reads. Code Mode uses fewer tokens
+in this pair, but unequal native capture time and extra client polling confound
+the comparison. Whole-task costs and limits are in the same study; a general
+efficiency advantage remains unproved.

+# Calls and values surviving full-graph capacity
+
+The question is `sqlite-boundary-question.txt`. Fix it and this acceptance oracle
+before either real-model run. Both lanes use the same complete fourteen-method
+API, preserved engine, model/effort request, common guidance and resource limits.
+This task requires VM decompilation once per fresh lease; it is different work
+from the earlier shallow-reference question. Do not compare their task times as
+an adapter speedup. Actual client JavaScript dispatch is available in both lanes.
+
+Artifact: Debian `libsqlite3-0:amd64` version `3.40.1-2+deb12u2`,
+`libsqlite3.so.0.8.6`, SHA-256
+`2e6eef9a727f081f0d453b4e5e6cbd8b9ef8b6f86cbf7681cbad444d3b0b55c8`.
+The selected VM implementation entry is `0xea6d0`, not its same-name PLT entry.
+
+Pre-model public MCP capture with the new exporter establishes:
+
+- Code is available. Full graph is unavailable with `atomic operation capacity
+  exceeded`. Calls remain available: 416 retained block-member operations,
+  consisting of 395 CALL and 21 CALLIND. The 395 direct targets are known, all
+  21 indirect targets remain unknown. Call-boundary values are available (1,294),
+  covering targets, arguments and outputs only, with 21,349 operations scanned
+  over 1,229 recovered blocks. These do not supply a complete definition/use graph.
+- At `0xf115c`, recovered call ID `0xf115c:6a84` targets `ram:0x296c0`.
+  Input zero is `v1000118d6`, `fspec:0x102f4`, annotation true, width 8.
+  Three recovered inputs use passing storage `register:0x38/8`, `0x30/8`,
+  `0x10/8` (RDI, RSI, RDX in this verified x86-64 lane).
+- At `0xf238b`, call ID `0xf238b:7130` has the same resolved target.
+  Input zero is `v100012a80`, `fspec:0x1030c`, annotation true, width 8.
+  Two recovered inputs use passing storage `register:0x38/8`, `0x30/8`.
+- Both first arguments are the same snapshot-local SSA value `v30000004b`,
+  `register:0x38/8`, `is_input:true`, definition null. Other retained argument
+  values have defining operation IDs outside this boundary view. Exact SSA
+  identity is supported; source parameter ordinals and general aliases are not.
+
+Independent GNU objdump decoding from the exported VM entry verifies the two
+machine CALL targets and register setup. The earlier complete direct-call pair
+oracle contains both. Of the 396 physical direct immediate calls, the only one
+absent from the recovered 395 is `0xf2493 -> 0x29370` (stack check failure).
+The question does not require rediscovering this extra call; the recovered-call
+count must not be claimed as complete machine/runtime coverage.
+
+Required final facts: correct selected entry and facet availability/scope; both
+call-count groups and target-unknown distinction; both resolved targets separated
+from annotation offsets; argument slots/locations; shared first-input identity;
+selected machine checks; explicit unreadable definition/use and alias/runtime
+limits; real Evidence and subject digest. Do not require the model to report
+every additional native metadata counter. Check that its API source arguments
+show only one VM analysis and all relevant reads reuse its snapshot/Evidence.
+
+Raw public verification is retained as `facets-v3-mcp.json` and its Evidence
+directory under `.cache/atomic-codemode/`. The ordinary VM record (C, mappings,
+variables and other ordinary metadata) equals the prior captured engine output.
+The independent oracle and precomputed answer are absent from the model workspace.

+# Cross-function context experiment: pinned question and oracle
+
+This is an experiment acceptance oracle, unavailable to the isolated model.
+The question is `sqlite-call-question.txt`. Fix this question and the required
+facts before launching either model lane. Both adapters expose the same complete
+fourteen-method fact API; Code Mode has four MCP tools, direct has seventeen.
+Use the same pinned engine, artifact, model request, reasoning effort, common
+envelope guidance, fresh target leases and resource limits. Do not change runtime
+sources or HEAD during the model batch. One sample per lane cannot establish a
+general advantage, and the client itself already offers JavaScript dispatch in
+both lanes. This comparison isolates the server calling adapter, not all forms of
+composition or a traditional provider workflow.
+
+The artifact is the local Debian ELF `libsqlite3.so.0.8.6`, SHA-256
+`2e6eef9a727f081f0d453b4e5e6cbd8b9ef8b6f86cbf7681cbad444d3b0b55c8`.
+Independent GNU objdump decoding from the function entries covers `0x64060`
+through `0x65400`; existing earlier captures independently pin the same flow.
+No target execution or source-code answer is used.
+
+Required facts for an equal completed answer:
+
+- Wrapper entry `0x65180`; direct machine CALL `0x65211` targets internal helper
+  `0x64060`. The recovered call operation has an fspec annotation as input zero;
+  that annotation's offset is not the target address.
+- Caller LEA `0x65201` passes post-prologue `RSP+0x20` in RDI. Structured passing
+  storage is `register:0x38`, width 8. The SSA argument and the callee's retained
+  input are separate snapshot-local identities; matching their storage supplies a
+  candidate connection. The direct machine transfer and pointer setup support
+  this particular connection. Do not globally infer source parameter ordinal,
+  alias completeness or runtime binding from a slot number or a name.
+- The helper preserves the input context pointer in RBP. Its 32-bit field at
+  context offset `0x30` is incremented at `0x64693`/`0x64696`/`0x64699` for an

+  `0x65270`/`0x65272` check it. Zero skips the malformed block; nonzero frees the

+  the malformed diagnostic at `0x65281` through formatter call `0x65290`.
+- Return-code-one errors can also reach the malformed block, via
+  `0x65239`/`0x6523c`; return code 18 selects a separate depth-limit diagnostic
+  at `0x65330`. No demonstrated runtime-feasibility or full memory-alias claim.
+
+The producer verifier additionally checks two formatter call targets:
+`0x5f031 -> 0x2adc0` (free PLT) and `0x5f062 -> 0x27e50` (vmprintf PLT), whereas
+their input-zero fspec offsets are `0x10000`/`0x10001`. Resolving these PLT entries
+to runtime implementations is outside this task.
+
+Native producer fidelity is checked against previously retained captures of all
+three functions: C, ordinary metadata/line mappings, blocks, operations, values
+and coverage are identical. Only schema version and structured call records are
+added. Older sources used pretty JSON; their smaller/newer encoded sizes must
+not be attributed to the call exporter. The earlier compact-writer change is a
+separate experiment. Unsupported old schema graphs remain unavailable with valid
+C retained, rather than acquiring guessed call records.
+
+The first paired question runs at `01e5c5955` both explain the primary state flow
+correctly but omit the oracle's separate return-1/return-18 distinctions. Because
+the initial question did not explicitly enumerate those codes, the next round
+clarifies that requirement in `sqlite-call-question.txt` before either lane
+starts. The required facts and independent oracle stay unchanged. Earlier
+questions and costs remain pinned to their original commits; neither incomplete
+sample is counted as a full-oracle success.

+# Client waiting and whole-task cost
+
+The [selected-case pair](switch-study.md) exposes one-second client polls after
+the snapshot execution yields. Direct makes six waits (three one-second then
+three ten-second requests); Code Mode makes three one-second requests. Five
+direct and two Code Mode wait responses still report a running cell. Initial
+execution yields after about 31 seconds in both lanes. This is observed client
+behavior, separate from MCP attempts and native source-capture time.
+
+Native latency remains variable, including in sequential scripted MCP runs
+without models. The [overlap canary](overlap-study.md) did not establish a cause.
+No analysis acceleration or cache invalidation change is proposed here.
+
+## Frozen diagnostic
+
+The opt-in runner flag `--guide-long-waits` appends exactly the same client wait
+policy in both lanes: resume an already-running cell with a 30,000 ms wait,
+respect the advertised schema, and do not sleep or duplicate analysis merely
+to check progress. It changes neither the initial execution yield policy nor
+the provider/Code Mode deadlines. It supplies no analysis facts. The policy,
+flag and instruction digest are recorded in each trial's settings. Older runs
+without this flag remain a separate stratum.
+
+Run Code Mode first, then direct, with the unchanged
+[question](sqlite-switch-question.txt) and [oracle](switch-oracle.md), final
+`a9ca8a8a...` engine, complete four/eighteen-tool catalogs and the same exact
+discovery/envelope guidance as the first pair. Use fresh leases and isolated
+model workspaces, requested `gpt-6.1-sol/high`, Codex 0.161.0 and the same one-CPU,
+4 GiB hard / 3 GiB early-stop resource policy. No runtime edits during the pair.
+Local records use `sqlite-switch-{codemode,direct}-v2*`.
+
+Review complete answers against the frozen independent machine oracle and
+retained source, including selector widths, all requested cases, signed target
+arithmetic, case/edge identities, native default versus machine out-of-range
+guard, provenance and unknown runtime behavior. Require one VM capture and
+focused reads; a lower token count without a correct answer is not a win.
+
+Record actual wait arguments and running/completed responses, model responses,
+all input/cached/uncached/output/reasoning tokens, MCP/API attempts, wall time,
+family CPU, kernel family peak, native source-capture time, identity/freshness
+and cleanup/OOM status. Count discovery, guidance and unsuccessful waits in
+whole-task usage. Fewer polls would establish adherence in this client, not
+causally lower tokens or native latency. A before/after pair remains subject to
+model choices, prompt caches, host contention and run order; do not subtract
+native or polling intervals to manufacture an adapter speedup.
+
+The [official Codex CLI reference](https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/cli/reference)
+documents client configuration but does not establish the `wait` contract used
+here. The actual captured client calls and subsequent run establish behavior;
+no configuration feature flag is treated as proof of the available surface.
+The native/API contracts are unchanged. Results are pending.

+# Task coverage before cost comparison
+
+The callable projection now also has a completed [PHI-format model pair](trials.md).
+Both answers reconstruct all four alternatives with exact retained identities,
+independent machine/string checks and partial-scope limits. An observed reference
+lookup mismatch adds work in the direct lane; its costs remain recorded and that
+discovery boundary needs correction before another same-question comparison.
+
+Code Mode can only compose facts the underlying API actually supplies. A task
+cost is comparable after reviewing the completed answer and its evidence. A
+successful tool call, fewer response bytes or more graph records is insufficient.
+No claim of complete reverse-engineering capability follows from these tasks.
+
+The [boundary-facet question/oracle](boundary-oracle.md) now also has a completed
+real-model pair. Both answers correctly use calls and boundary values despite
+full-graph capacity failure, reuse one VM analysis and preserve definition/use
+and runtime uncertainty. Code Mode is faster in this sample and uses slightly
+less cumulative input, while uncached input and maximum response context are
+higher. See the full costs and independent source checks in [trials.md](trials.md).
+This verifies the narrower recovered-call capability; it does not supply selected
+definition bodies when the full graph is unavailable.
+
+The next completed pair reuses that exact question and oracle after adding compact
+call counts to the shared snapshot facet. Both adapters receive the same new
+metadata, derived after native validation from the complete retained call set;
+the engine, fact methods and selection semantics are unchanged. The hypothesis
+is that avoiding full-set paging for these counts reduces task costs. Count
+coverage remains recovered block-member calls, not complete machine calls or
+runtime binding. Both answers satisfy the same oracle and avoid call-set paging.
+Cumulative input is lower in both new samples, but elapsed/uncached costs improve
+only for direct; direct now beats Code Mode within the pair. These observations
+support useful shared aggregates, without establishing a general efficiency
+effect. Selected rows/full source Evidence remain available for composition and
+audit; all native VM function records equal the earlier captures.
+
+The atomic direct and Code Mode lanes share the same method registry, provider
+owner, selectors, failures and retained sources. The traditional lane selects
+relevant production tools, including the discovery route advertised by its
+errors; its selection and extra discovery guidance are recorded. Use the same
+target, engine, authority and question. Freeze runtime files for each model batch.
+Keep full original errors, retries and partial answers in the record. Never show
+this oracle document or repository sources to a measured model.
+
+Review task facts separately from answer length. A confident false physical
+branch target fails the value-origin task even if its reconstructed IR equation
+is right. An answer stopping at an import stub does not complete a task whose
+other lane traces the formatter implementation. A bounded missing graph is not
+an empty graph. Mark unsupported facts unknown and report incompletion when the
+question actually needs them.
+
+Cache regimes are distinct: fresh analysis captures, a reused capture in the
+same lease, a validated persistent project in a new session, OS file cache and
+the model's reported prompt-cache tokens. These experiments do not clear the OS
+cache. The prototype has no cross-session result cache. Whole-model cold and
+reused-project trials therefore remain separate from the API-only same-lease
+cache benchmark. Report cumulative input, included cached input, uncached input,
+output and included reasoning; do not invent server compute or price savings.
+
+All resource trials are serial with one CPU, 4 GiB hard memory, early stop at
+3 GiB, and an observed cleanup receipt. Kernel family memory includes charged
+file cache. A single stochastic trial is an observation, not a reliable ranking;
+API-only replay cannot replace real model trials or establish their token cost.
+
+The CLI transcripts establish that all lanes have a client JavaScript `exec`
+surface, even with `code_mode=false` requested. Count actual model responses,
+client dispatch/wait calls and MCP requests separately. This comparison is not
+an ablation against a client incapable of code composition. The optional
+`agent-trial.py --normalize-mcp-guidance` adds identical envelope/stopping guidance
+to any lane: select `structuredContent` or parsed text once, avoid printing both
+encodings, stop when supported and close the target. It is recorded explicitly;
+the initial SQLite and VM rounds do not have that later guidance. Their native
+analysis commands/profiles also differ (selected functions versus production
+project and facet workflows); engine equality alone does not isolate Code Mode.
+
+The pinned SQLite artifact is `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6`,
+SHA-256 `2e6eef9a727f081f0d453b4e5e6cbd8b9ef8b6f86cbf7681cbad444d3b0b55c8`.
+The malformed-MATCH oracle and earlier unequal-depth results are retained in
+[trials.md](trials.md). The next VM task is fixed in `sqlite-vm-question.txt`
+before model trials. Its oracle is checked with GNU `objdump -d -M intel` over
+the shipped executable, independently of both model answers and Kuna IR. Dynamic
+symbol inventory (`nm -D --defined-only`) identifies `sqlite3VdbeExec` at
+`0xea6d0`. Reconstructed C and printer line mappings help locate checks, but do
+not replace the physical instruction evidence:

+
+The VM's real native-IR exporter exceeds its operation capacity. It retains
+3,654 lines of reconstructed C and complete source Evidence. This task tests
+whether a model can use those available facts plus selected physical instruction
+windows without inventing a recovered graph. Its local status `5` must not be
+silently promoted to an unconditional final function return: shared error
+processing can still change behavior. No target execution is authorized here.
+
+The post-serialization-fix Pragma task is fixed in `sqlite-pragma-question.txt`.
+It tests a previously inaccessible code facet rather than treating a byte-limit
+failure as a fast completed answer. The two experimental calling modes use the
+same twelve methods and new engine digest `2290e8b1…`, with common normalization
+guidance enabled in both. There is no new traditional cost cell for this task.
+For the same pinned SQLite artifact, independent GNU instruction checks establish:
+
+- `sqlite3Pragma` entry `0xb90e0`; value-pointer test `0xbae56` / branch `0xbae5c`
+  distinguishes the read path from change handling at `0xb9b8c`.
+- `0xb9b90` tests connection byte `+0x65`; zero branches at `0xb9b94` to diagnostic
+  selection at `0xbc58a`. This precedes the additional selector-one bypass at
+  `0xb9b9a` / `0xb9b9f`, so their ordering must be preserved.
+- Allowed local update computes `(value+1)&7`, substitutes one for zero, and
+  stores the selected record's byte `+0x10` at `0xb9bdc`; byte `+0x11` becomes one
+  at `0xb9be3`. The input interpretation and source member names are derivations.
+- The actual diagnostic call is `0xbc596` through `sqlite3ErrorMsg@plt` at
+  `0x2a1e0`; `0xbc59b` jumps to common cleanup `0xb9293`.
+- Cleanup releases both temporary strings, checks the stack canary, and returns
+  at `0xb92d9`. Do not invent a fixed numeric return from this reconstructed
+  void routine. No SQL-level runtime trigger is demonstrated.
+
+Pragma's complete retained code and mappings are checked equal before/after the
+serialization fix. Its recovered graph remains explicitly unavailable at the
+encoded-byte capacity; that is a coverage limitation in both experimental lanes.
+
+The next seeded table-composition task is fixed in `sqlite-table-question.txt`.
+Both experimental modes have the same thirteen methods including `bytes`; a
+traditional comparison is not claimed because its selected catalog/available
+Kuna byte capability has not been established for this task. GNU disassembly of
+the pinned artifact shows `sqlite3GetToken` at `0xe1480`: unsigned input byte load
+at `0xe1480`, class-table base `0x12bcc0` at `0xe1484`, bound `0x1e` at `0xe1492`,
+class reload `0xe1498`, jump-table base `0x12b600` at `0xe149c`, sign-extending
+32-bit table load at `0xe14a3`, base addition `0xe14a7`, indirect jump `0xe14aa`.
+The out-of-range path begins `0xe14f8`.
+
+Independent direct file reads are valid here because `readelf -lW` binds this
+artifact's selected addresses to the same file offsets in its read-only LOAD
+segment (`0x11a000..0x154bfc`). A Python `struct.unpack_from('<i', ...)` check of
+the actual table bytes gives these initial dispatch facts, before model trials:
+
+| Input byte | Class | Signed displacement | Initial machine destination |
+| ---------- | ----: | ------------------: | --------------------------- |
+| `0x2d`     |    11 |             -302928 | `0xe16b0`                   |

+This oracle establishes static table/dispatch arithmetic, not final token
+semantics, future runtime table contents or a feasible SQL input. Models must
+retain those boundaries. This document is not supplied to measured models.
+
+## Cross-function facts work; adapter gains remain mixed
+
+The structured-call experiment closes an observed native export gap: the call's
+fspec annotation does not identify its target code address, and an argument's
+SSA storage is not its passing location. Reusing the native call-spec owner now
+allows a model to connect a caller value to a callee input without parsing a
+display string. Real SQLite answers support this connection with machine
+instructions, trace a shared parenthesis counter across two functions, and
+preserve the limits of recovered slots, aliases and runtime feasibility.
+
+The first question pair omitted oracle-required alternative return paths in both
+answers. Its wording was less explicit than its oracle, so that result stays a
+partial-coverage record. A new question clarification was committed before the
+next pair; both then satisfy the task. The failed engine-pin setup launch also
+remains recorded. No sample is silently converted into a completed task.
+
+In the correctness-equal pair, Code Mode uses 596,978 cumulative input tokens and
+156.821 seconds versus direct's 611,321 and 147.424 seconds. Uncached input,
+output, largest observed response input and family CPU are higher for Code Mode;
+family memory peak is lower. Both use the same fourteen fact methods and a client
+with JavaScript dispatch. The evidence supports usable composable call/input
+facts, without proving that this server adapter is faster or cheaper. Broader
+complex-software superiority and provider parity remain unproven.
+
+Two remaining boundaries deserve independent experiments. First, the initial call view lived inside full recovered IR, so graph capacity
+could hide a small otherwise useful call view. The next exporter revision now
+captures calls and their boundary values independently; real VM verification
+retains both while the graph exceeds capacity. Second, shallow outgoing references should serve a callee/reference list before
+requesting deeper argument/value recovery. The subsequent implementation now
+exposes Kuna's existing `xrefs --from` through the shared parser, with native kind
+filters, explicit scope and paging. Real VM known-target references match an
+independent disassembly pair set, and remain available when the full IR facet
+exceeds capacity. The next pre-pinned model question measures this use directly. Keeping those costs
+and coverage distinctions explicit is more useful than treating a smaller tool
+catalog as proof of better analysis.
+
+The shallow-reference question now completes through both real-model adapters.
+Each composes 396 VM reference rows into 171 exact destinations and 16 calls to
+the selected PLT address, then distinguishes a real stack-check call absent from
+optimized IR. Both keep unresolved indirect/discovery/runtime limits. Native
+reference pairs from both model sessions match the complete independent set of
+396 direct immediate machine calls; the separate 21 indirect instructions are
+not silently included in those known-target totals.
+
+In this one pair, Code Mode takes 93.837 seconds and 264,680 cumulative input
+versus direct's 106.183 and 285,086. Their maximum observed response input
+contexts are almost equal. This is useful positive evidence for selected facts
+plus local aggregation, while prior completed tasks show mixed adapter costs.
+It supports continuing the experiment, not a universal speed/token/provider
+superiority claim. Tool coverage and representation semantics were prerequisites
+for this comparison: a recovered-call-only view would have missed a real call,
+and VM full-IR capacity cannot establish that its shallow references are absent.
+
+An additional shared CLI/API run with the unpatched stock Kuna 1.833 executable
+also returns the same 396/171/16 VM aggregates, with fresh owned HOME/cache. The
+outgoing-reference capability uses native support, independently of the opt-in
+IR exporter. It takes 3.044 family wall / 2.695 CPU seconds and 182.6 MiB peak,
+with cleanup verified and OOM 0; these scripted costs are not model-token data or
+an adapter comparison. Stock external-spec freshness is still outside the engine
+binary digest. Full repository typechecking remains resource-limited as recorded
+in `native-engine.md`; source build, focused tests, changed-test typing and full
+lint/module checks pass.
+
+The bounded call-rooted definition projection now supports a local VM PHI task
+that full-graph capacity previously prevented. Four real-model answers over two
+revisions correctly recover both PHIs, all four alternatives and machine
+transfers, with source identities and global partial coverage retained. This is
+selected static-task coverage, not general complex-software superiority.
+
+The discovery correction removes an observed name-list miss and fixes defaulted
+input schemas, but the second pair does not show stable cost improvement. Direct
+has a 120-second native timeout before a successful retry; Code Mode changes its
+query strategy and costs more than its first run. The complete costs and failure
+remain in [the ledger](trials.md#phi-alternatives-after-named-discovery-correction).
+Fairness requires sufficient facts, correct discovery and honest retry reporting.
+
+The wide-PHI experiment provides a more precise candidate atom: an input slot is
+an individually selectable relationship, not just an array inside an operation.
+Its identity includes the operation and slot index; several relationships can
+share one value while preserving different predecessor edges. A value definition
+can then be composed with selected operation/value reads. Both measured models
+recover those distinctions and separate retained-node absence from unretained
+membership without fetching all 156 slots.
+
+This validates the shared query boundary, not adapter superiority. Code Mode
+groups the same seven fact requests, but four discovery lookups erase the
+MCP-request reduction at the observed model-response/client-dispatch level. Its
+95.699 seconds versus direct's 91.817, nearly equal cumulative input and lower
+uncached input remain a mixed single sample. Discovery is itself part of the
+analyst workflow and deserves a separate test. Broader behavior reconstruction,
+complete large-function CFG/use coverage, aliases and a universal RE basis are
+still unproven. See [the complete scoped results](trials.md#selected-wide-phi-input-relationships).
+
+The same question after adding a static method index again completes correctly
+through both adapters. Code Mode now uses two discovery calls instead of four,
+without changing the seven fact reads. Observed model responses decrease by one,
+but total time increases slightly; direct also takes longer and uses fewer input
+tokens without changing query counts. The second pair is approximately 98.8
+seconds each, with more cumulative and less uncached input for Code Mode. This
+supports the index's discoverability, while leaving whole-task cost mixed.
+
+There is a further distinction to test: an atomic fact API does not itself make
+native computation atomic. A fresh selected-slot question still incurs an entire
+function decompilation and C rendering. Phase costs are unmeasured, so neither
+removing C nor introducing persistent state is yet justified as a speed fix.
+Measure that boundary before claiming analysis-time improvement from narrower
+fact responses.

+# Native computation and retained fact coverage
+
+This diagnostic separates native computation from fact selection and Code Mode
+dispatch after the wide-operand model pairs. It does not change those adapters
+or establish model-token savings.
+
+## Phase instrument and actual measurements
+
+Use experiment commit `7d0da075e` and its versions of both patches to reproduce
+these historical measurements. Apply `kuna-native-ir.patch`, then
+`kuna-atomic-timing-diagnostic.patch`, to Kuna
+`fe01d6294eb0d1053ce343c8943646df88e143fc`. Reuse existing compiled specs and the
+one-job opt-level-1 embed-specs build in `native-engine.md`. Preserved engine:
+`c755184455b8fe8950a5194788d954bc0476602779b6dd614cb893a230f6fde7`;
+overlay: `b2ddfd5b6d3fc4a386cfbb07d97fbd0fcbfd8279837ce68327e62baa3e0f3018`.
+The preceding `a0685486...` public executable remains independently preserved.
+
+The instrument requires `--atomic-facts` and the exact environment value
+`KUNA_EXPERIMENT_ATOMIC_TIMING=1`. It emits nine sequential per-function wall
+intervals to stderr, excluding logging time from the next interval. Disabled
+instrumentation emits none. Analysis parameters and JSON facts are unchanged.
+These are phase wall times, not phase CPU. Loading, preparation before the drive
+and final output encoding are outside the intervals; the residual cannot all be
+attributed to one phase.
+
+`profile-native.mjs` uses production target/installation/process owners and a
+private runtime/cache root. Its diagnostic launcher adds only the timing flag;
+ambient environment is not persisted. It measures two new native processes:
+fresh private cache, then the same cache/staged input. This second process is
+distinct from the API owner's warm result-cache hit. Complete stdout/stderr and
+digests are retained before validation. OS cache remains uncontrolled.

+## Lossless full-graph encoding feasibility
+
+The earlier diagnostic source has 21,349 operations, 35,755 values and 1,229
+blocks, with no omitted definition IDs. Its whole document is 17,801,972 bytes;
+the graph is 17,008,223 bytes, including 2,255,616 bytes of operation display and
+90,013 bytes of value type names. Plain tuple packing was still too large.
+
+```sh
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/resource-run.py --observe-payload-exit -- \
+  python3 experiments/atomic-codemode/measure-native-encoding.py \
+  /absolute/diagnostic-native.json /absolute/new-encoding-report.json
+```
+
+Gzip level 1 makes the graph 2,020,464 bytes. Hypothetical documents retaining
+ordinary C/metadata/calls and replacing only the graph with a typed envelope are:
+
+| Encoding      | Entire JSON bytes | Existing transport budget |
+| ------------- | ----------------: | ------------------------: |
+| gzip + base64 |         3,487,776 |                 8,388,608 |
+| gzip + hex    |         4,834,749 |                 8,388,608 |
+
+The graph byte roundtrip is exact. Python gzip/base64 encode costs 69.037 ms
+wall / 69.037 ms CPU; decode 34.632 / 34.571 ms. Whole sizing task: 0.826 wall /
+0.654 CPU seconds, 169.8 MiB peak, cleanup verified and OOM 0. These are offline
+Python feasibility measurements, not Rust/Node timings, native output, public
+support or agent savings. Source SHA-256:
+`0a31513350be440983094710197b155a2ec8c49d28852bb20a524292091637b7`;
+reproducible receipt: `full-graph-encoding-repro.json` beside its resource log.
+
+This supports testing bounded lossless transport before introducing live-function
+ownership or repeating analysis for missing definitions. Required checks include
+allocation/encoding growth, bounded inflation, exact format/length/row admission,
+malformed-graph isolation from calls/C, complete Evidence access, actual CPU and
+memory, fallback behavior and real-model workflows. The shared owner must return
+selected facts rather than send an encoded graph to the agent. The current
+public engine at this sizing checkpoint still has a bounded call-rooted
+projection. The [subsequent implementation](native-graph-transport-study.md)
+now verifies full recovered-graph access through bounded native/Node encoding
+and both public MCP adapters; real-model verification remains separate.

+# Native recovered IR experiment
+
+Stock Kuna's diagnostic text omits CFG successors and does not encode operand or
+phi edge identities. `kuna-native-ir.patch` is a read-only exploratory exporter
+against [Kuna v1.833](https://github.com/Noelo-Lab/kuna/tree/fe01d6294eb0d1053ce343c8943646df88e143fc).
+It is not an upstream release or an integrated REA capability. No upstream commit,
+PR or merge is being made.
+
+`decompile --json --atomic-facts` captures the live function that produced C.
+The default path does not collect the facet. Graph records include ordered CFG
+edges, native value identities, indexed operands, outputs and phi input bindings
+to particular incoming edges. Duplicate instruction origins or predecessor blocks
+do not collapse identities. Values are local to one snapshot. Constant offsets
+remain hexadecimal u64 address-space offsets, with width and annotation status
+separate; they are not arbitrary-width computed bitvectors.
+
+`native-ir.mjs` owns validation, immutable indexes and selected reads.
+`control-dependence.mjs` derives control dependence using immediate
+postdominators of the reversed graph, with linear retained graph state and a
+bounded work count. It treats zero-successor recovered blocks as exits and
+considers finite paths only. Exit-unreachable blocks, indirect-branch operations,
+missing definitions, runtime successors and memory alias limitations stay
+explicit. This is not a proof of feasible runtime paths.
+
+The shared API adds `values`, `blocks` and `relations(kind:"controllers")`.
+Diagnostic SSA sessions report these missing capabilities explicitly. Native
+definition/use edges include operand and phi bindings; diagnostic printed
+occurrences retain their original, weaker semantics. CLI, SDK and both MCP
+adapters use the same owner. Ordinary source summaries are compact; `evidence`
+retains the exact command argv and separate display argv, complete output and
+digest. Earlier trials substituted display paths in `arguments`; they must not
+be retroactively claimed to have captured exact argv.
+
+To reproduce, check out the pinned upstream revision in a disposable directory
+and apply this patch with `git apply`. Reuse already compiled `.sla` files from
+the corresponding stock release under the same relative `specs/` paths; do not
+recompile specs or replace existing unrelated files. Build from the REA root:
+
+```sh
+env CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0 CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_DEBUG=0 \
+  CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_OPT_LEVEL=1 CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO=false \
+  CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_CODEGEN_UNITS=16 \
+  python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/resource-run.py --observe-payload-exit -- \
+  cargo build --manifest-path /absolute/kuna/decompiler/Cargo.toml \
+  --locked --release -j1 -p kuna-cli --features embed-specs
+```
+
+Select that executable through `REA_KUNA_COMMAND` and explicitly pin its actual
+SHA-256 through `REA_ATOMIC_NATIVE_IR_ENGINE_SHA256`. Native IR requires embedded
+specs and rejects a caller-supplied `--sleighpath`; the provider creates a fresh
+owned engine cache per lease. The executable digest therefore covers its embedded
+assets, without reusing an unvalidated external spec cache. The current prototype
+uses optimization level 1, not the stock release's assumed optimization profile;
+comparisons must retain this difference or use the same engine in all lanes.
+
+Native extraction bounds blocks/operations at 12,000, values at 36,000, input and
+CFG edges at 50,000 and display text at 2 MiB, before the 8 MiB transport bound.
+Capacity overflow makes this facet unavailable, preserving C and a reason. The
+provider retains at most two 8 MiB native indexes (two 2 MiB diagnostic indexes)
+and 64 MiB of complete source captures per lease. The outer observer still
+enforces one CPU, 4 GiB hard memory and early termination at 3 GiB.
+
+Real Linux zlib verification produced 3,860 operations, 5,898 values, 472 blocks,
+779 CFG edges and 790 phi operations. Its 5,533,649-byte native JSON has no omitted
+definitions or reported producer issues. C is byte-identical to the previously
+captured stock 1.833 JSON (52,431 characters), and line mappings are identical.
+The CLI composition independently discovers the string, owning function, store
+and its two local controllers. Its observed cold session takes 9.191 seconds,
+8.887 process-family CPU seconds and 198.9 MiB kernel memory peak, with verified
+cleanup and zero OOM kills. This scripted lane is not a real-model cost result.
+
+Targeted JS checks cover malformed/foreign identities, dangling relations, phi
+order, exact hex offsets, immutable facts, loop/exit coverage, resource failure,
+and all 64 four-node DAGs against an independent path-enumeration oracle.
+Upstream `check-spec` passes. The full upstream corpus, stages and workspace gates
+have not run; this patch is not declared upstream-ready. The model comparisons
+and subsequent boundary findings below do not establish wider provider parity.
+
+The value-origin model comparison exposed a representation boundary: optimized
+recovered blocks can absorb a machine predecessor, so an IR edge is not an actual
+branch instruction target. The experimental API now names operation locations
+`origin_address`, their selector `origin_addresses`, and block locations
+`origin_start`; printed CFG targets use `target_origin`. These replace the old
+ambiguous fields without aliases. Historical captures retain their pinned old
+contracts. Raw upstream JSON is preserved unchanged in Evidence.
+
+The added `instructions` method batches selected machine-address windows, using
+Kuna's existing [disassemble CLI](https://github.com/Noelo-Lab/kuna/blob/fe01d6294eb0d1053ce343c8943646df88e143fc/decompiler/crates/kuna-cli/src/disassemble.rs),
+with exact bytes, decoded text, extent, coverage and per-window errors. Kuna
+already has focused agent-oriented read surfaces; its port ancestry does not
+establish which primitives are missing. No assembly decoding or branch-target
+parser is duplicated in the MCP adapter.
+
+Windows are capped at 4,096 decoded rows and 16 windows per call, sharing the
+8 MiB capture and 64 MiB retained-source budgets. A real maximum-row CLI test
+returns 4,096 rows in an 842,106-byte source, taking 1.227 family wall seconds,
+1.042 CPU seconds and 112.0 MiB kernel memory peak. Both real stock and patched
+MCP tests preserve good windows alongside an unmapped-address failure and report
+the actual `JA 0xe26d` / `JMP 0xd9c9` bytes. The representation revision had 33
+targeted tests; its subsequent real-model trial is recorded below.
+
+That fresh trial now verifies the missing machine path correctly; see
+[actual task costs](trials.md). The SQLite task then exposes a separate missing
+primitive: name/alias lookup across distinct callable entries. `functions` now
+reuses the production inventory parser, preserving every matching entry, import
+stub ambiguity, original aliases, clipped extents and unknown runtime binding.
+The inventory is read/validated once per lease, and query/field/page selection
+returns only the requested view. Batch xref and instruction reads share one
+partial-outcome owner, retaining good observations and source IDs on failures.
+
+A real `sqlite3VdbeExec` capture at `0xea6d0` also exceeds the graph export's
+operation capacity while producing 126,519 characters of valid C. The old adapter
+incorrectly rejects the entire capture. The revised owner validates the function
+envelope and input identity independently, then models graph availability as a
+facet result. Code and its language remain available under the same handle;
+graph counts stay unknown and graph reads return their reason and Evidence ID.
+The real MCP regression reads 3,654 code lines after the graph failure and verifies
+that `sqlite3Fts3ErrMsg` has distinct entries `0x268f0` and `0x5efc0`. Native graph
+capacity remains a real limitation, not a resolved scalability claim.
+
+`verify-cache.mjs` measures a real cold/warm pair within one open lease. Cold zlib
+snapshot reading takes 6,934.4 ms / 6.928 family CPU seconds; warm reading takes
+67.7 ms / 0.068 CPU seconds and preserves the exact snapshot/Evidence ID. The
+cumulative kernel memory peak is 275.1 MiB for both phases; the warm number is an
+upper bound on its isolated phase peak. This is an API-only measurement, with no
+model token result or cross-session cache claim. Targeted tests now total 38,
+including late cancellation retaining partial facts and their provenance.
+
+A subsequent real boundary sweep found a different loss of usable facts:
+`sqlite3Pragma` (`0xb90e0`) and `sqlite3Parser` (`0xb3d00`) stay below the row
+limits but overflow the provider's 8 MiB stdout budget. Both public snapshots
+fail, losing C as well as IR. A separate diagnostic capture with a stated 32 MiB
+observer limit establishes the exact producer sizes; it is not relabeled as a
+successful public-provider workflow. The old engine is preserved locally by its
+`7d357e75…` digest for historical reproduction.
+
+| Function        | Previous pretty JSON bytes | Revised source bytes | C characters | Revised graph                                   |

+
+The structural fix is at the producing serialization boundary. Atomic output
+uses the existing record producer and shared compact ASCII-safe writer.
+`--atomic-output-bytes` takes an explicit encoded-document budget (default 8 MiB);
+the provider passes the same bound it supervises. The writer checks each encoded
+write before growing its bounded buffer, accounting for escaping and newline.
+If necessary, the document drops only the graph and records an exact facet
+failure. C, line mappings and metadata survive under the same Evidence. If even
+the base document cannot fit, the command fails rather than clipping it or
+repeating the analysis. Ordinary non-atomic JSON keeps its previous formatting.
+Row limits alone never promise that the whole encoded graph fits.
+
+The rebuilt local engine is SHA-256
+`2290e8b13caabe30aab6832ab163d92925b2e652eebf7fc0cdbe65b889cb251b`
+(same pinned source/release profile plus the revised patch). Real Code Mode MCP
+verification succeeds for both functions. The preserved C and line mappings are
+identical to the earlier full diagnostic captures; the Parser graph is also
+deep-equal, and retained source hashes verify. Pragma's unknown graph counts and
+failed graph reads retain the correct source ID. No limit was increased.
+
+The first successful revised MCP check took 13.721 family wall seconds, 13.461
+CPU seconds and 326.9 MiB kernel family peak, with verified cleanup and no OOM.
+This is a two-function API regression, not a model-cost comparison or a claimed
+analysis speedup. Native writer/escaping checks (14) and graph-only fallback (1)
+pass in the release test binary; the shared JS tests (38), SDK ownership probe,
+lint and patch apply/reverse checks pass. Full upstream corpus/stages/workspace
+gates still have not run. The first MCP launch used a stale pre-format-build hash
+and was correctly refused; the retained successful retry uses the digest above.
+
+The `bytes` primitive reuses Kuna's existing `read --as data --json` protocol.
+Unlike instruction decoding, it asks for an exact byte range. It disables the
+global `listing` / `fast_funcdisc` passes for this data-only query; instructions
+retain their existing profile. A native probe returns exactly equal JSON with
+and without those flags. Its 484 / 290 ms timings share a workspace and run in
+that order, so they do not establish an isolated speedup. Native/source ownership,
+freshness, decoded-window admission and partial batches remain shared.
+
+Real public MCP checks pass in native Code Mode, native direct and stock 1.833
+Code Mode: a known 53-byte string, a 4-of-16-byte read at a mapped-image boundary,
+an unmapped address, same-source cache reuse and the 64 KiB maximum. Both adapter
+catalogs validate after SDK conversion. The byte parser rejects wrong subjects,
+contradictory duplicated hex, invalid extents and rows, and preserves exact u64
+addresses. Completeness follows examined byte coverage rather than the native
+truncation flag. It never claims these loaded-image bytes are live memory or
+proves an original-file mapping. Targeted JS tests now total 41.
+
+## Structured call relations (wire version 2)
+
+The next observed gap was input zero of CALL: a native `fspec` annotation is an
+internal reference, not a code address. The read-only `atomic_calls.rs` exporter
+now uses the existing `FuncCallSpecs` owner for recovered entry/name, model flags,
+argument passing storage and stack offset. A single operation-to-spec index
+avoids a linear lookup for every call. Input slots and SSA IDs remain separate
+from passing locations. Finalized storage is admitted only at matching arity;
+locked prototype storage is the alternative. Shifted inputs, placeholders,
+missing specs, unavailable storage and unresolved indirect entries remain
+explicit. There is no display-text parser or original-source ordinal claim.
+
+`calls` provides ID/origin filtering, field projection and paging through the
+shared SDK/CLI/MCP owner. Callee `values(is_input:true)` exposes retained input
+values for exact storage candidate matching. Source schemas, unique call
+ownership, call coverage, operand indexes/values and output identities are
+validated before exposing an index; a bad or old-version graph preserves valid
+C. Machine CALL instructions remain the independent check of a recovered edge.
+
+Engine `64c6b3fe5737056fc29c10b0aad6c7cbd489ad7d17bd1726141b77bdcf5e15b7`
+uses the same upstream revision, embedded specs and one-job build profile.
+The rebuild took 317.090 family wall seconds, 315.808 CPU seconds and a 2,145.695
+MiB kernel process-family memory peak (including charged file cache), OOM 0.
+The previous compact exporter engine is preserved by its SHA-256 locally.
+
+Real SQLite MCP verification passes both adapters, including a composed Code
+Mode join: caller `0x65211 -> 0x64060`, argument passing storage
+`register:0x38/8`, one matching callee input, and a bounded definition slice from
+the context updates to that input. Formatter calls `0x5f031`/`0x5f062` point to
+`0x2adc0`/`0x27e50`; their fspec offsets remain `0x10000`/`0x10001`.
+All three functions' C, ordinary metadata/line mappings, blocks, operations,
+values and existing coverage equal retained earlier captures. Those earlier
+sources were pretty-printed: encoded-size changes are not a call-exporter
+performance result. The structured call counts are 8, 33 and 2 respectively.
+
+The Code Mode verifier took 7.872 family wall / 7.573 CPU seconds, 297.1 MiB;
+the direct verifier took 7.771 / 7.499 seconds, 278.7 MiB. These differ in assertion
+calls and warm file-cache state, so they are verification receipts, not a
+controlled adapter speed comparison. Both verified cleanup and OOM 0. The
+existing real zlib controller/phi/instruction verifier also passes with this
+engine (10.992 wall / 10.795 CPU seconds, 285.7 MiB, cleanup verified, OOM 0).
+`check-spec` passes in its default lenient mode; full upstream gates still have
+not run. The independent cross-function question and acceptance criteria are in
+[call-oracle.md](call-oracle.md), pinned before model evaluation.
+
+The strengthened verifier additionally reads all five retained indirect calls in
+this parser and checks their unknown targets. Machine bytes `ff5328` at
+`0x644eb` independently describe a register-indirect CALL. The Code Mode rerun
+passes (16.628 wall / 8.239 CPU seconds, 300.5 MiB); native test compilation was
+also active on the same CPU, so its wall time is not an isolated performance
+sample. The source checks pass 45 JS tests across both prototype directories and
+two Python ledger tests; changed source lint and formatting pass.
+
+A current coverage limit remains: call facts are part of the recovered IR
+facet. A function that exceeds graph capacity also loses these call records,
+even if a selected call-target view could fit. This is a reason to explore
+independent fact facets; it must not be mistaken for proof of no calls or full
+coverage on large functions. No full provider parity claim is made.
+
+The current producer also passes fourteen native JSON-format tests. The initial
+command compiled unrelated integration targets and a non-embedded CLI build,
+which replaced Cargo's mutable `target/release/kuna`. Its 181.103 wall / 172.430
+CPU seconds, 651.6 MiB peak and OOM 0 describe that broader compilation, not just
+JSON test execution. Future focused commands should select `--bin kuna` and
+`--features embed-specs`. The original embedded build restores from Cargo cache
+and has the same `64c6b3f...` digest.
+
+The first model launch after those tests correctly fails at `open_binary` with
+`engine_profile_mismatch`; it produces no target Evidence and is not a completed
+answer. Its rejected-trial costs are retained in `trials.md`. The producing
+boundary is now fixed by preserving an independent executable copy in a directory
+named by the full SHA-256, outside Cargo outputs. The model harness checks the
+explicit experimental engine pin before copying credentials or launching a model,
+and verifies the same bytes after the task. Changed/missing engines reject the
+comparison while retaining costs. Other provider trials keep this field unknown.
+Three regression tests cover missing/malformed pins, replacement and removal;
+a real driver invocation with a wrong pin rejects before output/profile creation.
+
+## Shallow outgoing references without decompilation
+
+Kuna already supplies native `xrefs --from`, including exact-instruction and
+owning-function queries. The shared `KunaReferenceFiles.ts` boundary now owns
+both directions, validates direction-dependent peer fields and query ownership,
+and preserves exact u64 endpoints and source-row occurrences. The old
+incoming-facts-only parser is removed; both experimental consumers use the same
+named query contract. Production incoming address-only queries keep their
+existing projection and bounded cache semantics.
+
+The experimental `references` method adds direction, explicit address/function
+scope, native kind filtering and fields. Incoming function scope is rejected;
+unknown outgoing function applicability, unattributed/excluded rows and unresolved
+indirect/discovery/runtime coverage remain explicit. Native source cache keys
+cover result-affecting query choices while scope, fields and pages reuse the same
+source. `reference-reads.mjs` owns protocol selection/projection; the resource
+owner and CLI/MCP adapters do not reinterpret native endpoint fields. Empty
+field selection now requests the existing always-retained identities, rather
+than being rejected without a format/resource reason.
+
+Real outgoing CLI probes return 396 VM call-reference rows in 205,432 bytes,
+versus one row/737 bytes for selected call site `0xf238b`. Four sequential probes
+(VM function/instruction and wrapper function/instruction) take 6.772 family wall
+/ 6.613 CPU seconds and 120.0 MiB peak. Each command takes about 1.6–1.7 seconds;
+these are native metadata-query measurements with warm uncontrolled file caches,
+not real-model speed/token results.
+

+`0x7e7e`) confirms all 396 `(origin,target)` pairs, 171 distinct exact targets,
+and 16 calls to `0x296c0`. It also finds 21 indirect calls, outside these
+known-target counts. In the wrapper, nine lifted machine call references compare
+with eight retained IR calls: machine `0x6534b -> 0x29370` is an omitted
+`__stack_chk_fail@plt` call. Its absence from optimized IR/C is not absence from
+the executable. No native analysis or C behavior is changed to repair that
+representation difference.
+
+The real Code Mode MCP verifier passes paging, identity-only fields, scope-cache
+reuse, exact sites, unknown applicability and local aggregation. It also captures
+the VM anew: C is available, IR fails with `atomic operation capacity exceeded`,
+and shallow references still work. This verifier takes 48.142 family wall /
+47.803 CPU seconds, 610.1 MiB peak; VM decompilation/source capture itself takes
+35.945 seconds. These are different requested capabilities, not an equivalent
+workflow speedup claim. The direct verifier passes the same reference contract
+without that VM decompilation (12.001 / 11.759 seconds, 256.8 MiB). Both verify
+cleanup and OOM 0. An earlier direct-verifier attempt incorrectly expected target
+metadata on an SDK input-validation error; the corrected verifier respects the
+SDK rejection boundary. That failed assertion receipt is retained.
+
+The exact focused boundary suites pass 38 tests, with a fresh strict production
+build; changed-test strict typechecking and 45 experimental JS tests also pass.
+Full lint/module boundaries and changed-file formatting pass. Repository lint
+warnings remain outside this change. The focused build/test scope peaks at
+3,030.6 MiB, below the 3 GiB early-stop line, with OOM 0. Two full `check:fast`
+attempts (including serial execution and Go runtime memory controls) reach that
+early-stop budget and are terminated before OOM; they are not reported as passed.
+The changed-test typecheck uses 70.1 MiB and standalone full lint 919.0 MiB.
+Full-repository typechecking and full upstream Kuna gates remain unverified.
+The [next question/oracle](reference-oracle.md) are committed before model trials.
+
+## Independent call and boundary-value facets
+
+Graph schema 3 removes embedded call records. An independent `atomic_calls`
+version-1 facet now carries every retained block-member CALL/CALLIND, target-input
+SSA identity, origin/block/opcode/dead status, call specs and boundary values.
+`atomic_values.rs` owns common native value interpretation. The call scan walks
+native block membership without allocating an operation vector for every block;
+its own call/input/value/text budgets do not depend on the 12,000-op graph cap.
+The default native path still does not collect either facet and C analysis phases
+are unchanged. All captures occur after the same C rendering.
+
+The bounded serializer retains fitting facets independently and preserves ordinary
+C/metadata. It tries the full document, graph without calls, calls without graph,
+then the base record with both reasons. This keeps existing graph availability
+when both facets individually fit but their combination does not. Facet contents
+are moved for these bounded alternatives rather than cloned; no reanalysis or
+clipped collection labeled complete is introduced.
+
+The JS owner validates each facet independently with shared ID/value contracts
+and row-wise admission. When both parse, call identities, origins, operands,
+outputs and boundary values must agree with the graph owner. Bad call facts do
+not erase a valid graph; a bad/oversized graph does not erase valid calls. Code
+survives either failure. `values` uses the complete retained graph when present,
+otherwise the explicitly scoped call-boundary set; absent IDs in that set do not
+prove absence from the native function. Defining operation identities may remain
+unreadable, and source signatures, source parameter ordinals, aliases and runtime
+binding stay unknown. `is_dead` is always retained on call rows, like an
+instruction decode status. CLI, SDK and both MCP adapters share these views.
+
+The new preserved engine is
+`e7d3f0cc8d8aae814bd6a2625a567d6aaad96c3fe2405a4f08dc8e065b851588`.
+Its full rebuild took 315.815 family wall / 315.305 CPU seconds, 2,119.4 MiB
+kernel process-family peak. Four focused native atomic-JSON tests pass, including
+both overflow directions, both-overflow C preservation and graph preference when
+the combined document is too large (95.981 / 95.631 seconds including test-target
+compilation, 626.8 MiB). The final CLI rebuild after tests is 26.203 / 25.952
+seconds, 492.7 MiB. It is copied outside Cargo outputs and pinned by full digest.
+All these runs verify cleanup and OOM 0; full upstream gates remain unexecuted.
+
+Real public MCP verification keeps VM C available, reports graph operation
+capacity failure, and now exposes 416 calls plus 1,294 boundary values. The call
+scan examines 21,349 operations over 1,229 blocks. It preserves 395 direct known
+targets and 21 unresolved indirect calls; all direct pairs match independent
+machine pairs except the omitted `0xf2493 -> 0x29370` stack-check call. All 21
+indirect origin addresses also match independent disassembly. Selected
+`0xf115c`/`0xf238b` calls target `0x296c0`; their fspec inputs remain separate
+annotation values. Repeated snapshots reuse the same handle and source, and an
+explicit unavailable graph read fails without hiding these retained facts.
+
+The VM source grows from 273,703 to 793,791 bytes to retain this new data; the
+wrapper grows from 202,206 to 208,083 bytes. Their ordinary records, including C,
+variables and line mappings, are identical to the prior capture. The wrapper's
+blocks/operations/values/coverage also remain identical. These are fidelity and
+source-volume observations, not model-token or speed results.
+
+The real reference/VM verifier passes in 49.471 wall / 49.130 CPU seconds,
+615.8 MiB. The existing cross-function call/input verifier passes in 8.377 /
+8.094 seconds, 292.9 MiB; encoded Pragma/parser C/graph checks pass in 12.403 /
+12.195 seconds, 335.0 MiB. All verify cleanup and OOM 0. The updated contract
+suite passes 47 JS tests, including independent facet failure, cross-facet
+conflicts, input-zero identity and boundary-only value reads. `check-spec` passes
+in default lenient mode, lint and changed-file formatting pass, and the patch
+applies forward to the pinned upstream revision and reverses from the clone.
+Full repository typechecking retains its previously recorded resource limitation.
+The [boundary question/oracle](boundary-oracle.md) are fixed before model runs.
+
+The subsequent real-model pair passes that oracle in both calling modes. Each
+uses one VM analysis and the same retained function record; neither invents a
+complete graph from the available call-boundary values. Source digests, target
+and preserved-engine pins, selected machine checks, cleanup and OOM-zero receipts
+verify. See [whole-task costs](trials.md): the capability survives real model use,
+but a single mixed-context-cost pair does not establish general efficiency.
+
+## Compact counts from the validated call owner
+
+The following API-only change keeps the preserved engine and native source
+format unchanged. Snapshot call metadata includes counts by recovered opcode
+and known/unknown native target, plus call coverage. The owner computes these
+once after validation, before the shared CLI/SDK/MCP views. Counts include dead
+rows and do not infer target knowledge from CALL versus CALLIND. Available empty
+sets have zeros; unavailable sets have no counts. Selected call reads do not
+change this whole-facet summary or require a new analysis.
+
+The focused suite passes 49 tests, including known indirect/unknown direct
+targets, dead rows, immutable summaries and empty/unavailable distinction.
+Both real MCP adapters verify the wrapper's eight direct calls and parser's
+28 direct/five unresolved indirect calls while preserving the existing
+cross-function checks and validating advertised schemas after SDK conversion.
+Code Mode verification takes 29.263 family wall / 21.548 CPU seconds, 283.9 MiB
+kernel family peak; direct takes 32.893 / 22.781 seconds, 280.6 MiB. Both have
+verified cleanup and OOM 0. These are validation runs, not a controlled speed
+comparison with previous verifier timings. An owner replay of the prior
+digest-verified VM source yields the expected 395/21 distribution; it is not
+relabeled as a fresh provider or model run. The identical boundary question and
+oracle are retained for subsequent real-model comparison.
+
+That comparison now passes in both modes. Both consume the compact counts and
+read just the two selected calls, reusing one VM analysis. All native VM function
+records match the preceding pair and all retained sources/digests verify. Direct
+has lower observed task costs than Code Mode in this sample; the before/after
+results remain mixed. [trials.md](trials.md) records cumulative/cached/uncached
+tokens, model responses, elapsed time, CPU and process-family memory, including
+the slower Code Mode result. No native engine or analysis-speed improvement is
+claimed for this shared owner metadata change.
+
+## Tagged cleanup ownership regression
+
+Source inspection finds that the experimental owner awaits but ignores
+`KunaTargetCommands.close()`'s tagged `Result`. On error it would clear its state
+and let `AtomicSession` drop the owner while claiming a successful close. The
+SDK verifier reproduces this before the fix: an injected `ProviderCleanupError`
+does not reject close. Its fallback cleanup still removes the real owned state;
+the original failing result is retained as `cleanup-before.json`.
+
+The owning boundary now uses the existing `requireResult` projection before
+closing its cache root or clearing state. The existing session queue therefore
+retains the owner on failure. Both close and target replacement report
+`cleanup_incomplete`, preserve the staged file identity and original lease, and
+succeed on retry; the file is then absent. MCP's open/close error adapter now
+preserves context and resource details rather than dropping that evidence. The
+CLI already propagates the thrown error as a failed command. No alternate
+cleanup owner or downstream retry workaround is added.
+
+`verify-cleanup.mjs` runs against real provider reads and resources, injecting
+one tagged failure per close/replacement case. `verify-cleanup-mcp.mjs` injects
+one explicit test-only failure in an isolated server, then verifies public
+Code Mode and direct error metadata and successful retry. These are controlled
+boundary failures, not a claim that the real engine failed to stop. The SDK
+check takes 1.730 family wall / 1.567 CPU seconds, 130.4 MiB kernel peak; MCP Code
+Mode takes 1.931 / 1.639 seconds, 200.0 MiB; direct takes 1.730 / 1.489 seconds,
+192.8 MiB. All verify process cleanup and OOM 0. The original failing verifier
+takes 1.226 / 0.985 seconds, 122.7 MiB and also verifies fallback cleanup/OOM 0.
+The 49 focused JS tests, lint and formatting pass. This lifecycle-only change
+follows the recorded model pairs; no new model token or speed claim is made.
+
+## Callable bounded definition projection
+
+The next native exporter retains a version-1 `atomic_projection` independently
+of graph version 3 and call version 1. One checked native membership scan owns
+call roots and an optional index of at most 65,536 operation keys; exceeding the
+index budget disables the projection without discarding calls. Full-graph row
+capacity is checked before rendering its rows. Full and selected facts share
+one operation/value normalizer, including exact identities, indexed operands,
+outputs, phi predecessor edges, flags and display. Default non-atomic analysis
+and C generation are unchanged.
+
+All recovered CALL/CALLIND operations are retained as projection roots, followed
+by backward operand definitions in breadth-first order. The projection bounds
+4,096 operations, 12,288 values, 16,384 inputs and 2 MiB text. Too many roots or
+another admission failure makes the facet explicitly unavailable. Omitted
+definitions retain exact IDs and operation-budget/outside-membership reasons.
+A fitting full graph omits its redundant projection; an encoded-overflow graph
+restores the fitting projection. Facets are moved through bounded alternatives,
+and a valid C/call record survives projection failure. There is no repeated
+decompilation or clipped collection labeled complete.
+
+The JS boundary shares operand/value validation and query indexes between full
+and sparse views. It checks root reachability, exact frontier membership,
+call/value agreement and phi metadata without inventing a CFG. In the absence
+of a full graph, conflicting projection facts do not erase independently valid
+calls. `snapshot.facets.operations` and `facets.values` expose their scopes;
+selected definitions/uses and slices work over the retained set. Uses remain
+selected-only, CFG/controller queries retain their graph error and Evidence ID,
+and slice missing definitions keep their native reasons. A missing projection
+preserves the original graph failure instead of hiding it behind a generic
+not-captured error. All adapters use this owner.
+
+Coverage returns counts instead of global omitted-ID inventories, at most eight
+160-character issue summaries, full issue counts and omission metadata. Complete
+native coverage/frontier details remain in source Evidence. Native operation
+rows retain `is_dead` with their identities; constant summaries add `value_id`
+and `input_index`, preserving exact offset/width semantics. No original-signature,
+arbitrary-width computation, memory-alias or runtime proof is introduced.
+
+Preserved engine SHA-256:
+`a0685486518e09d3c65f756325a7e9fed8df123a2a988aca2972a72335ce8edc`.
+The same one-job/embedded-spec build takes 309.805 family wall / 309.523 CPU
+seconds, 2,099.5 MiB kernel family peak. Six focused native JSON tests pass,
+including projection restoration and independent overflow (99.752 / 98.662
+seconds with test compilation, 626.9 MiB). The final CLI build reuses artifacts
+(0.320 / 0.146 seconds, 28.8 MiB), leaving the preserved digest unchanged.
+
+Real SQLite VM public reads expose 4,096 operations, 7,469 values and 326
+unexpanded definitions, while the complete graph remains unavailable. Source is
+4,008,032 bytes, inside the unchanged 8 MiB public budget. Every selected operation
+and value equals the earlier 17.8 MB diagnostic capture; ordinary C/metadata and
+the complete call facet also equal it. An independent BFS over that retained
+full graph produces exactly the same operation order and frontier. The extended
+`measure-native-projection.py --verify-capture` reproduces these comparisons.
+This is producer-fidelity evidence, not independent machine/runtime equivalence.
+
+Both public MCP adapters read the selected PHI definitions and slices from one
+VM source. Code Mode verifies unavailable controllers preserve the source ID.
+The corrected Code Mode verifier takes 52.706 wall / 47.550 CPU seconds,
+597.4 MiB peak; direct takes 39.696 / 39.418 seconds, 592.5 MiB. The first
+Code Mode verifier incorrectly expected INDIRECT definitions; independent source
+inspection shows MULTIEQUAL. Its 37.070 / 36.781 seconds, 593.3 MiB failed
+assertion is retained, then the verifier is corrected without changing native
+facts. These scripted runs are validation costs, not an adapter speed comparison.
+
+Small-function cross-call checks pass (8.476 / 8.204 seconds, 293.6 MiB); all three
+complete function records equal the prior exporter. Encoded Pragma/Parser checks
+pass (13.712 / 13.507 seconds, 361.5 MiB): Pragma retains 3,627 projected operations
+after graph encoding overflow, while Parser keeps its full 5,164-operation graph
+without a duplicate projection. Zlib control/phi regression passes (10.893 /
+10.700 seconds, 286.3 MiB). Real CLI reads verify both selected PHIs and repeated
+snapshot/source identity (37.367 / 37.174 seconds, 527.1 MiB).
+
+The real VM MCP cache benchmark observes cold snapshot wall 36,448.8 ms / family
+CPU 36.425 seconds, then warm 40.2 ms / 0.041 seconds with the identical handle
+and source. Cumulative family peak is 590.1 MiB, an upper bound on isolated warm
+phase memory. Its complete run is 37.667 / 37.492 seconds. This is same-lease
+capture reuse, not cross-session persistence or a model-token result; OS caches
+remain uncontrolled. All resource runs above verify cleanup and OOM 0.
+
+The focused JS suite passes 53 tests; lint/format, default lenient `check-spec`,
+Python compilation and patch forward/reverse checks pass. Full upstream corpus,
+stages and workspace gates remain unexecuted; the patch is not upstream-ready.
+No whole-repository typecheck pass is claimed beyond the previously recorded
+resource limitation. The [PHI-format task/oracle](projection-oracle.md) are fixed
+before real-model launches. No model benefit is assumed from these smaller facts.
+
+## Named reference discovery and input schemas
+
+The first PHI model pair completes correctly but exposes a documentation boundary:
+direct help displays `facts_*` names while lookup only recognizes raw method
+substrings. A multi-name query returns no matches and causes a full-reference
+fallback. Registration and help now share one explicit name map, with canonical
+identity separate from presentation. Exact lists preserve caller order,
+deduplicate names and retain unmatched terms. Topic/all-contract lookup remain;
+ambiguous labels fail instead of choosing by catalog position.
+
+The real client verifier also catches that plain `z.toJSONSchema` defaults to
+output semantics, making defaulted `offset`/`limit` falsely required in advertised
+input schemas. Reference generation now explicitly selects `io:input`. Converted
+schemas are frozen and weakly cached by schema identity; a replacement schema
+invalidates the conversion, while description/presentation is read separately.
+The documentation module removes the adapter rename pass. No target analysis,
+live-result caching or native-engine change is involved.
+
+The shared suite passes 55 tests. `verify-discovery.mjs` checks both real SDK
+catalogs and reference responses without opening a target, compiles every catalog
+and all fourteen reference schemas with Ajv2020, and validates the same
+omitted-default requests against named reference/direct contracts. It proves the
+six-name query matches all requested contracts without a miss. The all-schema
+verifier takes 1.936 family wall / 1.760 CPU seconds, 138.8 MiB kernel peak,
+cleanup verified and OOM 0. The earlier six-schema probe takes 1.628 / 1.449
+seconds, 128.9 MiB. Its original 1.730 / 1.487 seconds, 128.1 MiB failed
+omitted-default check remains recorded. Six contracts occupy 10,835 Code Mode /
+10,360 direct bytes, versus 21,746 / 20,699 for all fourteen. Bytes do not prove
+token or time savings. The same PHI question/oracle are retained for the next
+actual model pair.
+
+## Wide native operand relations
+
+A retained-source replay exposes a whole-row cost: VM PHI
+`0xea998:14649` has 156 inputs and 156 definition edges. Its normalized old
+operation is 44,447 JSON bytes, and a default one-node slice returns 44,980 data
+bytes. Real QuickJS returns `output_budget` while preserving the source ID.
+This replays real producer facts through the shared parser/executor, without
+a fresh native analysis or model call (`wide-phi-before.json`). Explicitly
+requesting only `inputs` already fits; the gap is default size and lack of
+independently selected/paged operands, not inability to obtain the data at all.
+
+`relations kind:operands` now owns slot-level paging and optional input-index
+selection. Snapshot + operation + input_index identifies the relationship;
+value identity, native definition and exact phi edge are separate fields. It
+retains constants, function inputs and nulls that definition edges cannot cover.
+Requested out-of-range slots of retained seeds are absent, while unretained
+seeds stay explicit/unknown. Seeds and selectors deduplicate in caller order;
+total counts filtered rows before paging. Full graph and projection share this
+owner; diagnostic SSA rejects the unsupported relation with source context.
+
+Paging counts existing relation groups before materializing selected rows,
+avoiding a complete flattened relation copy. Native operation defaults are
+compact summaries with exact input/definition/constant counts; detailed fields
+remain selectable. Repeated value/block identity lookups deduplicate at their
+shared read boundary. A discriminated contract replaces the prior runtime-only
+relation refinement, so advertised schemas also enforce seed types and prohibit
+input_indices on other relationship kinds. No native rebuild, higher native
+capacity, new method or additional authority is involved.
+
+The shared suite passes 57 tests; changed JS lint has zero warnings and formatting
+passes. Both real SDK catalogs and all reference schemas compile; selected
+operand inputs and invalid selector applicability agree with runtime validation.
+That discovery run takes 7.443 family wall / 4.928 CPU seconds, 141.8 MiB peak
+including charged file cache. The real Code Mode VM verifier passes ten calls
+in 54.327 / 47.069 seconds, 597.6 MiB peak. Its default slice fits, selected
+slots preserve exact native facts, and explicit all-input reads still work.
+Both runs verify cleanup and OOM 0. This first public run precedes the final
+identity-deduplication adjustment; subsequent direct/model reads cover it.
+Scripted bytes and costs are not model-token savings or an adapter speed claim.
+The subsequent direct verifier passes all ten calls, including duplicate-value
+deduplication, in 39.385 wall / 39.163 CPU seconds, 591.3 MiB peak, with cleanup
+verified and OOM 0. The different scripted read paths/host state do not isolate
+adapter costs. The [wide-operand oracle](operands-oracle.md) fixes the next seeded
+real-model task before launch; it is not a before/after of the PHI-format task.
+
+## Static method index
+
+The wide-operand pair exposes a discovery cost: Code Mode asks four times for
+help before using the same seven fact requests as direct. `reference view:index`
+now returns the same fourteen canonical/display names and descriptions without
+constructing schemas, return contracts or examples. `view:contracts` preserves
+the existing default and exact-name/topic behavior. Both presentations share one
+named documentation contract/owner and the API's registry; no analysis change or
+engine rebuild is involved. An index is static declared support, never live
+provider capability. Runtime facets remain authoritative.
+
+The shared suite passes 58 tests, including a getter that proves an index does
+not access an unrequested input contract. Changed JS lint/format and both real
+SDK catalogs/reference schemas pass. The first discovery probe takes 5.284 family
+wall / 4.028 CPU seconds, 137.6 MiB peak, cleanup verified and OOM 0. Code Mode's
+index is 7,212 JSON bytes versus 24,010 for all contracts; direct is 7,240 versus
+22,939. These bytes are static discovery output, not demonstrated token/time
+savings. A subsequent focused check and real probe cover moving the input schema
+into the documentation owner and unifying presentation construction. The same
+wide-operand question/oracle are retained for a new real-model pair.
+
+The final real SDK probe passes in 4.380 wall / 3.807 CPU seconds, 141.4 MiB peak,
+cleanup verified and OOM 0. Both subsequent real-model answers satisfy the
+unchanged oracle. Code Mode uses index plus one exact contract query, reducing
+its discovery lookups from four to two. Whole-task costs remain mixed; all
+attempts and limits are recorded in [trials.md](trials.md).
+
+## Fact granularity versus computation granularity
+
+The eight successful real-model VM captures using the preserved `a0685486...`
+engine each retain 4,008,032 bytes, including 126,519 bytes of reconstructed C
+that the selected-operand models never read. Fresh-lease native request wall
+ranges from 36.702 to 53.124 seconds. A separate failed first attempt hits the
+120-second timeout before one successful capture; its cause remains unknown.
+These are fresh private native caches, not controlled OS-cold samples. Same-lease
+warm source reuse remains separately measured above.
+
+Source inspection explains the current computation boundary: the project core
+drives whole-function decompilation, renders C and extracts metadata, then
+collects independent call/graph/projection facets from the live function. The
+new slot atom reduces selected read/serialization scope, but does not implement
+selected-slot native analysis. The complete VM CFG is still unavailable and
+arbitrary definitions outside the retained call-rooted projection cannot be
+expanded by a fact read. Provider parity and general complex-software superiority
+remain unestablished.
+
+At that checkpoint, pipeline/render/metadata/export costs were not separately
+profiled. The [subsequent native computation study](native-compute-study.md) now
+measures them: VM drive about 34 seconds, C rendering 0.22 seconds and projection
+0.03 seconds. Skipping C is a small opportunity for this workload. An offline
+lossless encoding probe also puts the earlier full 17.8 MB diagnostic record
+inside the unchanged 8 MiB transport. The [subsequent codec study](native-graph-transport-study.md)
+now implements and verifies this through both public experimental MCP adapters,
+including complete decoded Evidence and shared text-budget ownership. Actual
+guard/control model behavior is now checked in two real-model pairs. Model
+comparisons share the same computation/fact owners, avoiding a capability
+difference between adapters. The [switch extension](switch-study.md) adds an
+independent native table facet with exact labels and row/edge mapping, selected
+queries and a verified 2 MiB fallback that retains cases without a full graph.
+Its final engine is `a9ca8a8ac224936afb08a9d4be9c1225feb69473ad9f35764e8d1c4f04875b5b`;
+the fixed case/default model question is separate from the earlier guard pairs.

+# Bounded full recovered graphs
+
+This implements the preceding native encoding probe as an opt-in experiment,
+not stock Kuna support, an integrated release or provider parity.
+
+## Format and owners
+
+Logical graph schema 3 stays unchanged. A fitting ordinary record keeps its
+existing representation. Before dropping facts, the writer can encode only the
+graph in a schema-4 `{encoding:"gzip-base64",raw_bytes,data}` envelope. Ordinary
+C/metadata and independent calls keep their fields. Existing graph/call/
+projection/code fallback and explicit failure still apply if encodings do not
+fit; no graph is clipped as complete.
+
+Raw serialization stops at 32 MiB. Envelope overhead and base64 expansion are
+accounted for before allocation; gzip output and encoded alternatives share the
+unchanged caller budget of 8 MiB. Alternatives move ownership instead of cloning
+graphs. Construction separately admits 32,000 operations, 36,000 values, 100,000
+inputs, 12,000 blocks, 50,000 CFG edges and 4 MiB display/type text. Calls and
+projections keep their earlier limits.
+
+Each collector now owns one `TextBudget` for combined display/type charges. The
+initial larger graph exposed a hidden second 2 MiB limit in value collection;
+the first real VM probe rejected it with `atomic text capacity exceeded` while
+preserving calls/C/projection. Passing the collector-owned budget through value
+extraction removes this competing policy. Final graph text is 2,345,629 bytes.
+
+`native-graph-encoding.mjs` owns envelope admission, canonical base64, gzip
+integrity, exact lengths and fatal UTF-8 decoding. Inflation uses Node's
+[`maxOutputLength`](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/doc/api/zlib.md#class-options)
+with an admitted 32 MiB maximum. Logical schema/row/relationship/text admission
+and existing native identity/CFG/phi checks then operate on the same graph.
+Nested encodings fail logical admission; bad graphs preserve independent calls/C.
+
+`evidence` defaults to the exact source wire record and original hash.
+`component:"recovered_ir"` pages decoded graph source with a separate view hash
+and byte count. Well-framed malformed logical facts remain inspectable without
+being accepted as facts. `NativeEvidenceReads` owns one decoded view up to 32 MiB
+per lease; the source owner revalidates bytes on every read. Content identity
+keys the view; successful close clears it. All adapters share these owners.
+
+## Real verification
+
+These graph-only engine/patch measurements use commit `e2205313a` and its
+version of `kuna-native-ir.patch`. The subsequent [switch extension](switch-study.md)
+has its own pinned engine/patch and retains the same logical graph fields.
+
+Kuna upstream: `fe01d6294eb0d1053ce343c8943646df88e143fc`.
+Final preserved engine:
+`677b9795d49a65e459054ecbd3c0df37d603b541d72df9f74b46778947ed3936`.
+Patch SHA-256:
+`9f5754a15bd971326d14085f4c515348735d140be3bf36a371e7cf336fc291f3`.
+Binaries are copied outside mutable Cargo outputs, not hardlinked or committed.
+
+On the pinned Debian SQLite target, both actual MCP adapters under Node 24.18.0
+verify 21,349 operations, 35,755 values, 1,229 blocks and zero omitted definitions.
+The complete graph deeply equals the earlier diagnostic golden, and ordinary
+C/metadata plus all 416 recovered calls are unchanged. Selected old projection
+frontiers now resolve, selected CFG/PHI reads work, both complete Evidence views
+verify and repeated snapshots reuse one source. This establishes producer
+fidelity, not independent machine/IR equivalence or runtime feasibility.
+
+The actual wire document is **3,788,881 bytes**; decoded graph is **17,008,223
+bytes**. The public byte budget remains 8,388,608. Raw receipts/source copies are
+`full-graph-codec-*` under `.cache/atomic-codemode/`.

+All resource runs use one CPU, 4 GiB hard / 3 GiB early-stop bounds, verified
+cleanup and OOM 0. Kernel peak includes charged file cache, not RSS. The system
+Node probe is outside pinned-toolchain validation; the verifier now rejects a
+wrong Node before native analysis. The first failed probe used preserved
+pre-fix `fb717dde...`. Native focused tests pass ten cases; shared JS passes 65.
+Changed JS lint/format, lenient native `check-spec`, applied-source whitespace
+and patch forward/reverse checks pass. Patch-context spaces are format markers.
+The three small-function records retain their prior ordinary representations;
+the current reader also accepts the old engine's explicit full-graph refusal,
+independent calls and 4,096-operation projection through real MCP reads.
+The final native test rerun also passes the same ten selected cases after the
+collector-budget change. Other CLI integration tests were compiled but filtered
+out; they are not additional executed coverage.
+Native full corpus/stages/workspace and whole-REA gates remain unexecuted or
+previously resource-limited; no upstream/PR/integration readiness is claimed.
+
+Fresh-lease snapshot: 39,677.7 ms / 38.726 family CPU seconds. Same-lease warm:
+67.1 ms / 0.068 seconds, identical handle/source. Cumulative peak is 588.4 MiB,
+an upper bound on isolated warm memory. OS cache is uncontrolled; no cross-session
+cache or model-token benefit is inferred from this scripted benchmark.
+
+## From names/messages to conditions
+
+The inventory has two identical VDBE names (`0x288f0`, `0xea6d0`) without aliases.
+The initial CLI assumed uniqueness. Its corrected workflow composes strings,
+incoming references and owning-function addresses before one VM snapshot; then
+constant producers, uses, derived controllers and selected values/definitions.
+It obtains both savepoint guards in sixteen host reads without the C report.
+The final example also checks pagination before treating selected facts as a
+complete set. A retained-source replay derives the two controller relations in
+about 8.9 ms wall; isolated replay CPU/peak memory were not measured.
+
+The [question/oracle](savepoint-control-oracle.md) are fixed before model trials,
+with function name/messages but no supplied code addresses. Selected independent
+machine evidence checks local guards, load/spill/setup and shared call. Recovered
+CFG/use coverage still does not establish full machine flow, memory aliases,
+nontermination or feasible execution. The first [real-model pair](savepoint-control-study.md)
+now passes the frozen question through both adapters; its whole-task costs are
+mixed and include discovery noise and a Code Mode parameter retry. Public
+scripted checks alone do not establish those model outcomes.

+Target: Debian SQLite 3.40.1-2+deb12u2 amd64,

+
+From the retained public-budget native projection: operation `0xea998:14649` is
+`CPUI_MULTIEQUAL`, block 1203, output `v30000f159`, 156 native input slots.
+It is not dead. Input relationships must retain their own identities even when
+four selected slots refer to one value:
+
+| Input index | Value      | Predecessor | Predecessor edge |
+| ----------- | ---------- | ----------: | ---------------- |
+| 0           | v300034de6 |           7 | 7:1              |

+Distinct values and retained immediate definitions:
+
+| Value      | Space  | Offset             | Width | Definition    | Opcode/output                |

+
+Both values are nonconstant, nonannotation and not native function inputs.
+Their offsets are storage offsets, not computed values or machine destinations.
+Slot 156 is absent for this retained 156-slot operation. `0xffff:0` is not
+retained; its existence outside the projection remains unknown, not an empty
+operation. Selected operands plus definition identities suffice; no complete
+input array, C report, exhaustive graph or transitive slice is required.
+
+Public projection: 4,096 operations, 7,469 values and 326 definition-frontier
+entries. Complete recovered CFG is unavailable; uses concern the retained set,
+aliases and runtime feasibility remain unknown. Selected immediate definitions
+are retained, without closing the global frontier. Evidence references and
+target digest must be real. These producer-gold identities were also compared
+to the earlier full diagnostic capture; neither is independent machine/IR proof.

+# Sequential and overlapping public requests
+
+This follows the unexplained 107.804-second source capture in the
+[guided model pair](savepoint-control-study.md). The same preserved `677b9795...`
+engine, target digest, VM entry and three instruction windows are used through
+real stdio MCP. Each case starts a fresh lease/private native cache; cases run
+serially in code/sequential, direct/overlap, direct/sequential, code/overlap order.
+No model is involved and no token savings are inferred.
+
+`verify-overlap.mjs` first requests one full VM capture and the windows, either
+sequentially or with the second request starting 100 ms after the first. The
+client records starts/finishes to prove request overlap; it does not assume
+provider concurrency. `AtomicSession.call` serializes provider admission for
+both adapters. Thus an instruction request can wait behind the snapshot. Its
+API wall time is not its native command execution time.
+
+Every full recovered graph and ordinary function field matches the complete
+golden. Selected instruction items/coverage agree across all four cases. Both
+snapshot and instruction reads repeat under the same retained Evidence and
+handle. Target/frame/decoding selection and all limits are preserved.
+
+| Case               | Fresh task seconds | Fresh family CPU s | VM capture s | Warm task ms | Warm family CPU s |

+CPU is a delta over each complete phase in the owned cgroup; no overlapping
+per-request CPU attribution is attempted. Kernel peaks are cumulative and
+include charged file cache, not RSS; the warm peak is only an upper bound.
+Complete family totals/peaks and cleanup counters are in the resource receipts
+under `.cache/atomic-codemode/overlap-v1-*`. One CPU, 4 GiB hard / 3 GiB early-stop,
+192-task bounds apply. All four cases have verified cleanup, no abort and OOM 0.

+
+The 108-second capture does not reproduce in this matched sample. Request
+queueing is confirmed by the owner and explains waiting outside native source
+times; it does not explain the original long capture itself. There is no basis
+to change provider concurrency or claim a native speed fix. Host contention,
+OS caches and unrecorded native phases remain uncontrolled/unmeasured. This is
+a four-case diagnostic, not a distribution or proof that the anomaly is fixed.
+
+Both repeated tasks are small; Code Mode's additional guest setup is visible
+here. This is not evidence against composition over a larger dependency graph,
+nor a comparison with a client that lacks its own JavaScript executor.

+# Selected definitions after whole-graph capacity failure
+
+Historical probe at REA experiment revision `4d7fccbce`. Use that revision's
+patches to reproduce its preserved diagnostic engine and results below. The
+subsequent callable projection is documented in [native-engine.md](native-engine.md);
+its real-model question/oracle are [pinned separately](projection-oracle.md).
+
+This is a diagnostic feasibility probe following the completed boundary model
+pairs, not a new public provider capability. The analyst question is whether
+selected call-argument definitions can remain readable without materializing an
+entire recovered graph in the public transport. The alternatives are a smaller
+whole-graph encoding and a bounded selection of operations/values. Neither
+fewer bytes nor an offline graph traversal establishes model-token or time gains.
+
+## Actual graph and capacity boundaries
+
+The artifact remains Debian SQLite `3.40.1-2+deb12u2`, SHA-256
+`2e6eef9a727f081f0d453b4e5e6cbd8b9ef8b6f86cbf7681cbad444d3b0b55c8`.
+The selected implementation is `sqlite3VdbeExec`, entry `0xea6d0`.
+The disposable diagnostic patch temporarily admits 32,000 operations, 72,000
+values, 128,000 inputs and 16 MiB text. It is applied after
+`kuna-native-ir.patch`, against the same pinned Kuna upstream revision. Only
+this diagnostic capture uses a 32 MiB encoded/stdout budget. The committed
+public patch, preserved public engine and 8 MiB public budget are unchanged.
+
+| Observed quantity | Value |
+| ----------------- | ----: |
+| Recovered operations | 21,349 |
+| Recovered values | 35,755 |
+| Recovered blocks | 1,229 |
+| Operand inputs | 51,951 |
+| CFG successor edges | 2,061 |
+| Operation statement UTF-8 bytes | 2,255,616 |
+| Value type-name UTF-8 bytes | 90,013 |
+| Compact ordinary graph JSON bytes | 17,008,223 |
+| Entire native document bytes | 17,801,972 |
+
+Raising only the current 12,000-operation bound would not suffice: inputs also
+exceed 50,000, display text exceeds 2 MiB, and the entire document exceeds 8 MiB.
+Values happen to remain below 36,000, with little headroom. Native coverage
+reports no producer issues or omitted defining-operation IDs. This is the
+retained recovered graph, not proof of complete/correct machine or runtime
+semantics. The ordinary function record, including C and mappings, and the
+independent call facet deeply equal the preserved public-engine capture.
+
+`measure-native-projection.py` constructs a lossless tuple encoding of every
+graph field and verifies decoding equals the original graph. Its graph occupies
+8,225,047 bytes; estimated whole-document size is 9,018,796 bytes after retaining
+C/calls/metadata. Thus this simple encoding still does not fit the unchanged
+8,388,608-byte public budget. This is an exact synthetic serialization size and
+roundtrip check, not an implemented native codec or measured codec speed.
+
+## Focused definition facts
+
+Using the two existing call identities at `0xf115c` and `0xf238b` as roots, the
+script follows native operand values to their defining operations. It retains
+exact IDs and complete selected operation/value records. A 512-operation budget
+is not reached in these depth samples; unresolved definitions remain explicit.
+
+| Requested backward depth | Operations | Values | Encoded payload bytes | Unexpanded definition frontier |
+| ------------------------ | ---------: | -----: | --------------------: | -----------------------------: |
+| 1 | 5 | 12 | 4,335 | 6 |
+| 2 | 11 | 24 | 8,589 | 3 |
+| 3 | 14 | 29 | 10,447 | 1 |
+| 4 | 15 | 32 | 11,457 | 1 |
+| 5 | 16 | 33 | 11,934 | 1 |
+
+The same experiment over all 416 recovered call roots gives:
+
+| Requested backward depth | Operations | Values | Encoded payload bytes |
+| ------------------------ | ---------: | -----: | --------------------: |
+| 1 | 965 | 2,269 | 830,233 |
+| 2 | 1,494 | 3,076 | 1,188,208 |
+| 3 | 2,007 | 3,920 | 1,541,735 |
+| 4 | 2,401 | 4,670 | 1,849,015 |
+
+The 4,096-operation probe budget is not reached in these samples. Depth three
+still has 394 unexpanded definitions. These payload sizes cover selected
+operations/values alone, before source/provenance/transport framing. Depths are
+probe parameters, not proposed product limits. This is backward SSA dependence,
+without CFG, control dependence, complete use lists, memory aliases or feasible
+runtime paths. No model receives these offline projections in the completed
+trials. They do not become accessible through an existing snapshot by this probe.
+
+The signal favors trying a bounded call-rooted operation/value facet when the
+full graph is unavailable. The native producer already has the live function at
+the capture boundary, so this could reuse that analysis rather than reconstruct
+definitions from C or force repeated decompilation. A focused initial capture
+is another option; later requests would need a new analysis or a separately
+owned live native model. That lifecycle/time tradeoff remains unresolved.
+
+Any prototype must share native identity/value/operand interpretation, retain
+frontier reasons and source Evidence, expose partial definition/use scope, and
+keep CFG-dependent reads unavailable. A native block/origin ID does not establish
+a machine instruction extent or branch target. Both direct and Code Mode must
+receive the same facts through the shared API before another model comparison.
+
+## Reproduction and measured scope
+
+Apply `kuna-native-ir.patch`, then `kuna-graph-scale-diagnostic.patch`, to pinned
+upstream `fe01d6294eb0d1053ce343c8943646df88e143fc`. Reuse its stock SLA assets
+and the one-job embedded-spec build profile in [native-engine.md](native-engine.md).
+The preserved diagnostic executable has SHA-256
+`6d0d1cef9de13180e19af77a6f62075c417178831740bccc7174bbac0af764cc`.
+It is copied outside Cargo outputs, separately from the public `e7d3f0cc...` engine.
+The initial build launch failed before Cargo because its PATH omitted the existing
+Cargo installation; that setup failure remains recorded, followed by a corrected
+build. No toolchain was installed or upgraded.
+
+The capture reuses `KunaTargetCommands.run`, a fresh private installation
+`configuration.cacheRoot`, owned target staging and normal supervision. Its argv
+is `decompile INPUT 0xea6d0 --addr --json --atomic-facts
+--atomic-output-bytes 33554432 --max-fn-memory 1024`, with matching 32 MiB
+supervised stdout capacity. It does not execute the target. The temporary native
+source changes are restored after capture; diagnostic patch reverse/forward and
+public patch reverse checks pass.
+
+The diagnostic build takes 316.764 family wall / 316.136 CPU seconds, 2,113.5 MiB
+kernel family peak. Native capture takes 37.078 / 36.869 seconds, 551.4 MiB.
+Offline sizing/roundtrip takes 1.428 / 1.242 seconds, 170.0 MiB. All use one CPU,
+4 GiB hard memory, 3 GiB early stop and verify cleanup/OOM 0; peaks include charged
+file cache. OS caches are uncontrolled. There is no equivalent completed-task
+speed comparison, public-provider success claim or model-token measurement here.
+
+Run the bounded sizing script against the retained diagnostic native JSON:
+
+```sh
+python3 experiments/analysis-efficiency/resource-run.py --observe-payload-exit -- \
+  python3 experiments/atomic-codemode/measure-native-projection.py \
+  /absolute/native.json /absolute/new-sizing-report.json
+```
+
+Raw receipts are `graph-scale-diagnostic-engine.json`,
+`graph-scale-diagnostic-receipt.json`, `graph-scale-repro-sizing.json` and their
+resource logs under `.cache/atomic-codemode/`. Binaries and the 17.8 MB native
+capture remain local; they are not committed.

+
+GNU objdump decoding from the exported VM entry independently verifies all four
+LEA origins and addresses. `0xf208d` jumps to `0xf1152`, whose local setup reaches
+the `0xf115c CALL 0x296c0` (`e85f85f3ff`). The alternate release setup jumps at
+`0xf2446` to `0xf238b`; that CALL targets `0x296c0` (`e83073f3ff`). Open setup
+locally reaches the latter call. These selected static transfers do not establish
+runtime path feasibility, memory stability or full function control dependence.
+
+Independent direct file reads check these string bytes only after `readelf -lW`
+binds addresses to identical file offsets in the read-only LOAD segment
+`0x11a000..0x154bfc`. Native loaded-image byte queries have their own source IDs.
+The byte sequences, including terminators, occupy 52, 22, 51 and 54 bytes in the
+table's order. Adjacent bytes must not be merged into the reported format.
+
+Required final facts: correct entry/target digest and facet scope; both call/PHI
+links, all four operand-to-producer alternatives with predecessor edge IDs; the
+four correct addresses and strings; verified LEA/call/jump facts; real Evidence;
+one VM analysis with subsequent reads reusing its snapshot; clear limits for
+unexpanded definitions, complete uses/CFG, aliases and runtime behavior. Judge
+these facts and source arguments separately from answer verbosity or RPC count.
+The oracle and repository are absent from the isolated model workspace.

+# Known-target references versus recovered call operations
+
+This question and acceptance oracle are fixed before either real-model lane.
+The question is `sqlite-reference-question.txt`. Both lanes expose the same
+fourteen fact methods; the server adapters have four/seventeen MCP tools. Use the
+same preserved engine `64c6b3fe5737056fc29c10b0aad6c7cbd489ad7d17bd1726141b77bdcf5e15b7`,
+artifact, model/effort request, common envelope guidance and resource limits.
+The task explicitly requests reference aggregates for the VM rather than
+decompilation. Its cost comparison is limited to this selected task and these
+adapters, with a client that already supports JavaScript dispatch in both lanes.

+The artifact is Debian ELF `libsqlite3.so.0.8.6`, SHA-256
+`2e6eef9a727f081f0d453b4e5e6cbd8b9ef8b6f86cbf7681cbad444d3b0b55c8`.
+Independent GNU objdump decoding from exported function entries establishes:
+
+- Wrapper `sqlite3Fts3ExprParse`, entry `0x65180`, has nine known-target machine
+  CALL references. Its optimized recovered graph retains eight call operations.
+  The omitted machine call is `0x6534b -> 0x29370` (`__stack_chk_fail@plt`), bytes
+  `e8 20 40 fc ff`. Do not patch or reinterpret the graph as complete machine
+  semantics; retain the distinction between representations.
+- VM `sqlite3VdbeExec`, entry `0xea6d0`, has ELF symbol size `0x7e7e`. GNU objdump
+  identifies 396 direct immediate CALL instructions, 171 exact destinations and
+  16 calls to `0x296c0`. The set of all 396 `(origin,target)` pairs exactly equals
+  the native outgoing call-reference set; this is stronger than a row-count-only
+  comparison.
+- The selected VM instruction is `0xf238b -> 0x296c0` (`sqlite3VdbeError@plt`).
+  A name or PLT entry does not establish runtime symbol binding.
+- Independent disassembly also finds 21 indirect CALL instructions in the VM.
+  The requested native known-target totals do not include them. The model must
+  preserve unknown indirect/discovery/runtime coverage; it need not discover the
+  number 21 using an additional full instruction read. Reporting 396 as every
+  possible runtime or machine call would be wrong.
+
+The question's required final facts are the nine/eight wrapper counts, the
+verified differing machine call, all three VM aggregates, the selected VM call,
+real source Evidence and the stated coverage limits. Exact instruction versus
+function scope and source-row identity are also checked by the public MCP
+verifier. An empty or unattributed function query must remain unknown, not proof
+of no references.
+
+Raw independent disassembly and the full pair comparison are retained locally
+in `.cache/atomic-codemode/outgoing-oracle-vm.asm` and
+`outgoing-vm-independent-oracle.json`. The model workspace contains neither.
+Native CLI probes separately show source sizes and costs; fewer source bytes are
+not a model-token or completed-task speed result.

+The exact-name inventory has entries `0x288f0` (16 bytes) and `0xea6d0` (32,384
+bytes), with identical names and no aliases. The inventory alone does not label

+`v30001285f`; input 1 is four-byte `v100012840`, defined by
+`0xedbf8:7056 CPUI_LOAD`. Thus the local recovered guard is a **signed** positive
+loaded 32-bit value, not an unsigned nonzero test.
+
+The release condition is one-byte `v100012bd9`, defined by
+`0xf0384:71b3 CPUI_INT_EQUAL`: input 0 is four-byte `v10001280a`, defined by
+`0xedbe5:7041 CPUI_LOAD`; input 1 is four-byte constant one `v3000393a3`.
+Its local guard is equality to one. Both load contents and aliases remain unknown.
+Models need not invent source member names for either memory object.
+
+Derived controllers return precisely the two relations above for dependents
+1142/1158 in the actual retained-source replay. Coverage is complete for finite
+paths to recovered zero-successor exits; nontermination and runtime reachability
+remain unknown. These are direct/local control relations, not all transitive
+earlier guards or proof of feasible execution.
+
+## Independent selected machine evidence
+
+GNU objdump over the same ELF independently supplies these bytes/transfers;
+ELF file/virtual mappings also verify their raw bytes. The complete recovered
+graph, including these identities, deeply equals the earlier diagnostic native
+golden. That producer comparison is not independent machine/IR equivalence.
+
+| Address | Bytes          | Machine fact                    |

+
+The earlier load at `0xedbe5` and spill at `0xedbec` correspond to the native
+value later compared at `0xf0384`; selected bytes do not prove all intervening
+memory/runtime behavior. Machine setup/branch windows and native optimized CFG
+edges are separate evidence representations. PHI is an IR operation at a shared
+origin, not a machine instruction.
+
+Expected recovered coverage is now a full block-member graph: 21,349 operations,
+35,755 values, 1,229 blocks and zero omitted definition IDs. It includes 416
+recovered calls; 395 known CALL targets and 21 unresolved CALLIND targets. This
+does not establish full machine-flow/call coverage or memory alias resolution.
+The previous call-rooted projection lacked both CBRANCH/Boolean definitions and
+the open-path LOAD, as well as all CFG access; those absences remain recorded.
+
+Grade the complete answer and actual trace, not keywords alone: both formats and
+shared call/PHI alternatives, both edges for each local condition, precise Boolean
+and memory widths/signedness, focused machine checks, real source IDs/digest,
+scope/earlier-guard/alias/nontermination/runtime limits, and retained-capture reuse.

+# Real-agent savepoint control investigation
+
+The [question and oracle](savepoint-control-oracle.md) were committed at
+`e2205313a` before either model launch. Both lanes have the same atomic facts,
+target, engine, question and common envelope/stopping guidance. They start with
+the function name and two messages, without supplied code addresses. This tests
+the newly available full recovered graph, not provider parity or superiority
+over a traditional RE interface.
+
+## Initial pair: natural discovery
+
+Both complete answers pass the frozen source/answer review:
+
+- Incoming string references select `0xea6d0` from two same-name entries before
+  one retained VM capture. Neither lane fetches the complete C report or graph.
+- Both format pointers merge through `0xf238b:ceb7` and reach CALL
+  `0xf238b:7130`, with the correct predecessor/edge bindings and RSI storage.
+- Each answer supplies both successor edges for each nearest local conditional
+  predecessor. The open guard is signed four-byte `0 < loaded32`; release is
+  four-byte equality to one. Both trace one-byte Booleans to the right LOADs,
+  preserve operand indexes/widths and stop before guessing loaded contents.
+- Focused instruction windows check loads, the spill, signed JG/equality JZ,
+  format setups and shared machine CALL. Independent GNU/ELF verification checks
+  eleven instruction sites against the same target bytes. PHI/edge identities
+  remain separate from machine instructions and transfers.
+- Real source IDs and the target digest are present. Each answer limits itself
+  to recovered graph/local guards and states machine-flow, alias,
+  nontermination, earlier-path and runtime-feasibility limits. Neither uses
+  derived controllers or claims a SQL trigger. Both close the lease.
+
+Each answer cites ten observed source IDs. Both have one successful VM capture,
+whose recovered graph equals the complete producer golden; facts come from the
+preserved `677b9795...` engine. Full answers, events, tool context, traces and
+resource receipts are retained locally under
+`.cache/atomic-codemode/sqlite-savepoint-control-{direct,codemode}-v1*`.

+
+Code Mode's fifteen attempts include a rejected `timeout_ms:200000` request;
+the actual schema maximum is 120,000. It retries within that bound. The client
+also initially tries to JSON-parse the validation error's text and gets a
+SyntaxError. Both costs remain in the ledger. There are no recorded inner-API
+failures or resource aborts. Direct has no failed MCP attempt. MCP attempts,
+successful host reads, client execution calls and model responses are distinct
+counts; the trace has no handler entry for the schema rejection.
+
+In this one sample, Code Mode reduces uncached input by about 2.7% but increases
+cumulative input by 18.6%, output by 14.6% and model wall time by 8.4%. Fewer MCP
+requests do not establish a whole-task advantage. The lanes also choose slightly
+different fact selections and output detail. This is an observational pair,
+not a controlled estimate of a single dispatch mechanism's causal effect.
+
+The first client discovery call in both lanes applies a broad `rea.*...` regular
+expression to all tool names/descriptions. It matches unrelated tools, including
+creation tools, and prints large, truncated metadata. This is a real observed
+agent cost, not an analysis-provider failure; it also adds noise to comparing
+the two interfaces. A repeat should give both lanes the same exact-name discovery
+policy while retaining every advertised tool and charging that guidance to the
+whole task. No analysis steps, addresses or answers should be added.
+
+Both runs request `gpt-6.1-sol/high` through Codex 0.161.0; the resolved service
+build is unknown. Per-response usage sums match the runner ledger. Cached input
+is already included in input, and reasoning is included in output. One CPU,
+4 GiB hard / 3 GiB early-stop limits apply. Kernel peak includes charged file
+cache; it is not RSS. Both runs have OOM 0, verified payload/profile cleanup,
+unchanged runtime fingerprints, engine and target digests. Each lease is fresh;
+OS/provider-service caches and remote compute costs are uncontrolled/unmeasured.
+
+## Discovery-controlled repeat
+
+Executed at `7a7c4a6d7`, Code Mode first, then direct. The repeat keeps the same
+question, oracle, native engine and all atomic methods, and uses the runner's existing
+`--enabled-tools` / `--guide-enabled-tools` options with server name `rea`.
+Each manifest lists that lane's complete catalog: seventeen direct tools or four
+Code Mode tools. No analysis method is removed. Captured first client calls
+select these exact function names; neither repeats the broad metadata spill.
+This changes discovery guidance and namespace together for both lanes; it is a
+separate stratum from the natural-discovery pair, not a retroactive replacement.
+
+Both complete answers again pass the same oracle: correct format ownership,
+PHI/call and native edges, signed-positive versus equality guards, Boolean/load
+widths and operand indexes, independent selected machine bytes, real provenance
+and explicit static/alias/runtime limits. Both use one retained VM capture and
+close the lease. Direct cites ten observed source IDs; Code Mode cites nine,
+combining some instruction windows. All recovered graph and ordinary function
+fields equal the earlier full golden in both lanes. Neither fetches a whole C
+report or graph. Neither uses derived controllers; both keep local guards
+separate from all earlier conditions and runtime feasibility.
+
+| Whole-task measure             | Direct atomic | Code Mode |

+| VM source-capture wall seconds |        37.026 |   107.804 |
+
+There are no failed MCP attempts, recorded inner-API failures or resource aborts.
+Per-response usage sums agree; OOM is zero, cleanup is verified, and target,
+engine and runtime fingerprints remain unchanged. Full records use suffix `-v2`
+under the same local artifact directory. Request/model settings and resource
+bounds are unchanged from the first pair.
+
+Code Mode again has slightly lower uncached input (3.7%) and fewer MCP requests,
+but more cumulative input, output, model responses, wall time and family CPU in
+this sample. It has twelve client waits versus three for direct. Discovery
+guidance alone has not established an overall improvement across strata.
+
+The VM capture is a substantial confound: its 107.804 seconds differs from
+37.026 in direct and 38.013/38.871 in the first pair. Source elapsed time includes
+command supervision and retention; it is not an isolated native drive interval.
+No per-command CPU or phase diagnostic was captured during these model trials.
+The additional instruction-window API call overlapped the pending Code Mode
+snapshot; its own wall time also includes waiting beyond the retained native
+source times. Whether concurrency, host contention or another lower boundary
+caused the variation is unresolved. CPU affinity/quota do not give an exclusive
+core. Do not subtract these intervals from whole-task time to manufacture a
+Code Mode speedup or attribute the difference to dispatch alone.
+
+Both lanes actually use the client's `exec`/`wait` JavaScript surface, despite
+the recorded client Code Mode feature flags being false. Direct atomic already
+composes MCP calls through that client executor. These results compare a server
+Code Mode boundary against directly called atomic MCP tools in that environment;
+they do not compare JavaScript composition against its absence. Tool counts and
+configured feature flags cannot establish the client's actual available surface.
+
+## Remaining questions
+
+Four real runs establish this scoped control/data-flow task on the full recovered
+graph, without a stable overall efficiency win. There is no traditional-provider
+cell for this graph-identity question and no general complex-software superiority
+claim. Whole-task cumulative input across all four runs is 2,272,374 tokens,
+including 2,017,408 cached and 254,966 uncached; output is 23,021 including 5,005
+reasoning tokens. Total model wall is 883.590 seconds. These totals retain the
+initial failed request and discovery costs, not a pooled treatment estimate.
+
+The retained graph also exposes the next coverage question: `0xea801:fe` is one
+`CPUI_BRANCHIND` in block 8 with 149 recovered successors. Current edges expose
+identities/destinations but no case values. The native jump-table owner should
+be examined before exporting case-to-edge/target relations; a successor ordinal
+is not a case value. This is a fact-export limitation, not evidence that Kuna
+itself cannot recover the labels. The source-capture/concurrent-read cost
+variation also needs a bounded, matched diagnostic before further speed claims.
+The [subsequent four-case public MCP diagnostic](overlap-study.md) confirms
+provider admission is serialized and does not reproduce the long capture;
+the original cause remains unknown rather than being declared fixed.
+The [native switch extension](switch-study.md) now exports the case labels and
+checks all 182 original targets independently; its new model question is separate.
