Adds a Cairn map of Boros: a dossier under .cairn/, manifests for the active core, and verifier verbs. Everything runs in report-only mode. No Rust source changes.

What's in it

  • Dossier (.cairn/): reading order, life map, topology and crate graph, shape census, internal API snapshot, context map, four flow docs (submit, fanout, confirm, peer-discovery), and decisions 0001–0004.
  • Manifests: WORKSPACE.md plus MODULE.md for pipeline, storage and queue.
  • Verifier verbs: justfile (gate, check-deps, check-deps-all, test-storage, test-queue, test-ingest) and tools/cairn_check_deps.py.

The first two commits are the original survey and charter from 2026-08-23. The last two bring that work up to the current cairn/v0 draft:

  • 7b092d6: the deps verifier no longer imports tomllib. python3 is 3.9 on macOS, so check-deps-all used to crash before it checked anything. The verifier now reads only the internal-allowed key, and any other form fails closed.
  • 2ce851b: re-scopes all four manifests:
    • Each manifest declares a short code, has the six SPEC §3.5 Purpose fields, and sets purpose-status = "inferred". That means outcomes, beneficiaries, responsibilities with coverage, owned information, boundary allocation and operating envelope.
    • WORKSPACE.md gains a Composition table that maps workspace responsibilities to the three children.
    • Invariants that are really promises about one operation move to Guarantees under §3.4, with Surface/When/Then fields and a migration note: INV-STORE-001..004, INV-QUEUE-001..004 and INV-PIPE-001..002. Every ID, tier and claim sentence is unchanged.
    • The context map now says that no expectations are declared yet.
  • 5018a6f: records that the queue quota contradicts INV-QUEUE-001 (see Gaps). Its Then clause now states only what the code and test establish, and the separator comments leave the justfile.

Verification

Verb Result
just check-deps-all exit 0: storage, queue and pipeline are all within their allowlists
just gate (clean checkout, no lockfile) exit 101: see below
test-storage / test-queue / test-ingest with the survey's pinned lockfile (pallas 1.0.0-alpha.2) 15 / 11 / 5 passed

A clean checkout of main does not compile, so the test-backed verbs cannot run there. This is decision 0002, and this PR does not fix it. pallas = "1.0.0-alpha.2" now resolves to 1.4.0, and Cargo.lock is gitignored. All 10 errors are in src/ledger/u5c/mod.rs and come from UtxoRPC spec drift:

error[E0609]: no field `index` on type `&...::sync::BlockRef`        --> src/ledger/u5c/mod.rs:121:47
error[E0560]: struct `...::sync::BlockRef` has no field named `index` --> src/ledger/u5c/mod.rs:212:25
error[E0605]: non-primitive cast: `Option<...::cardano::BigInt>` as `u32` --> src/ledger/u5c/mod.rs:296:27, 297:27
error[E0308]: mismatched types --> src/ledger/u5c/mod.rs:301:30, 302:31, 308:32, 309:36, 432:44, 433:31

The structural lint (SPEC §10: L1–L5, L12, L16 IDs, references, coverage and scope vocabularies) was run by hand with a script, because no linter verb exists yet. It found nothing.

Gaps the recharter surfaced (findings, not fixed here)

  • INV-QUEUE-001 overstates the quota. Its claim says the batch quota is "fully distributed (remainder included)", but quota() rounds each share on its own, so a batch can exceed or fall short of the cap (weights 1/1, cap 5 → 6; weights 1/1/1, cap 10 → 9). It also collects the sorted shares into a HashMap, so leftover capacity passes on in hash order and the last queue's leftover is dropped: with cap 50 and two weight-1 queues holding 100 and 1, the batch is 26 or 50. it_should_calculate_quota checks only the exact split 1/2/2 over 10. The ID, bound tier and claim are unchanged, and the contradiction is noted beside them. Demoting the tier or fixing the code is the owner's call.
  • Unallocated dependency ordering. tx_dependence is written by create but never read back. next does not consult it, so dependency-ordered dispatch has no owner.
  • Ingest may wedge. A transaction whose queue is missing from config makes ingest retry the whole batch. INV-QUEUE-002 drains exactly those transactions, so the two may interact.
  • Settlement is invisible to submitters. UtxoRPC WaitForTx, WatchMempool and EvalTx are todo!(), and no status query exists.
  • Chain locks live in memory, per process. They are lost on restart and not shared between instances.
  • INV-PIPE-003 is a pointer, not a constraint. It is kept because IDs are immutable. Retiring it is the owner's call.

Out of scope

Fixes for decisions 0001–0004, CI wiring or enforcement, and flow contracts or models.

scarmuega and others added 4 commits August 23, 2026 13:23
Survey (cairn-survey): census, module topology + instability, internal
API surface snapshot, life map (lifetime basis; repo dormant since
2025-05), four curated flow docs (confirm nominated for a flow contract).

Charter (cairn-charter): WORKSPACE.md + MODULE.md for the active core
(pipeline, storage, queue); justfile verifier verbs (deps allowlist
check, test-backed invariants); report-only routing policy.

Findings recorded as requirements: clean checkout of main does not
compile (floating pallas pre-release + gitignored Cargo.lock, REQ-WS-004);
gasket git-fork pin (REQ-WS-002); mock relay adapter in production
wiring (REQ-PIPE-001); dead Validated status (REQ-WS-003).

Dossier moves from docs/architecture/ to .cairn/ — the framework's
honestly-branded namespace — with unnumbered filenames; reading order
now lives in .cairn/README.md (merges the old ARCHITECTURE.md narrative
with the ownership note). Committed .cairn/.gitignore reserves out/ for
machine exhaust.

Requirements sections retired per the eviction test:
- die-on-fix items became ADRs: 0001 gasket fork (accepted), 0002
  toolchain/dependency pinning (proposed; clean-checkout build failure),
  0003 real relay source (accepted), 0004 Validated status (open)
- REQ-STORE-001 survives as INV-STORE-006 [unverified]
- the Config-cycle note moved to pipeline's non-normative Notes
- INV-DISCOVERY-002 (mock relay) evicted from the flow doc to ADR 0003

Dependency gates re-verified green after the move.

`python3` resolves to 3.9 on macOS, where `tomllib` does not exist, so
`just check-deps-all` failed before checking anything. Parse the one key
the verifier needs and document the blind spot; unknown forms fail closed.

Bring WORKSPACE.md and the pipeline, storage and queue manifests up to the
current cairn/v0 draft: declare short codes, add the six SPEC §3.5 Purpose
fields with purpose-status = "inferred", give the workspace a Composition
table, and move operation-level invariants to Guarantees with Surface/When/
Then fields and a migration note (§3.4). Every ID, tier and claim is kept.

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5018a

This change adds documentation and report-only checks and does not change runtime behavior. The new gate does not build on a clean checkout, and the dependency checker can report a pass it should not. Both are limited to developer tooling and should be followed up, but they do not affect production behavior.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The quota rounds each share independently and walks queues in hash
order, so a batch can exceed or fall short of the cap and the last
queue's leftover is dropped. The Then clause now states only what the
code and test establish; the contradiction sits beside the unchanged
claim and as gaps in RESP-QUEUE-001 and its operating envelope.

Also drops the justfile's decorative separator comments.

The `ingest` gasket stage drains `Pending` transactions by queue priority, optionally signs them server-side, re-validates, and broadcasts them to all connected Ouroboros tx-submission peers. Broadcast marks the tx `InFlight` stamped with the tip slot.

Describe InFlight as channel acceptance, not peer delivery.

The worker sets InFlight after stage.output.send succeeds; it does not confirm that peers received the transaction. src/pipeline/MODULE.md, Line 61, records this boundary. Describe the status as following successful channel handoff, not successful delivery to all peers.

Do not claim unknown queue names fall back to the default.

If a request supplies an unknown queue name, src/server/submit.rs, Lines 45–122, uses the default queue only to decide whether to validate, then stores the original name. src/pipeline/ingest.rs, Lines 82–134, retries when that name is absent from the pipeline configuration. Record this gap or normalize the stored queue before claiming fallback.

Make the new gate runnable on a clean checkout.

The PR reports that just gate exits 101 without the survey’s pinned lockfile: dependency resolution selects pallas 1.4.0 and compilation fails. This makes the new gate unusable in a clean checkout, even though the dependency checks pass. Pin a working dependency resolution before treating gate as a passing verifier. Based on learnings, application crates can commit Cargo.lock for reproducible builds.

Reject a missing internal-allowed field.

If storage’s field is misspelled or removed, manifest_allowlist returns []. Storage has no documented internal dependencies, so the checker then prints PASS instead of reporting an invalid manifest. Fail explicitly when the field is absent or cannot be parsed.

Exclude TOML comments from the allowlist.

For a multiline array containing # "ledger",, re.findall treats the commented-out name as an allowed dependency. A new ledger edge can then pass the check without a declared allowlist entry. Parse the array as TOML, or reject comment syntax that this reader cannot interpret safely.
