latex-macros-stage1
The groupant beside latex/src/macros.rs in the Mova repository: what the code computes, what it never does, how to go back from its outputs, its invariants, cost and checks.
Facts
Implementation material. A Mova code model describes this code at one source revision: partial models, finite checks and their stated scope. It is not a reviewed general exposition, and its labels are shown as written, never raised.
Components
| component | label | where |
|---|---|---|
| approximant | partial | approximant |
| ast | partial | ../syntax.json |
| composition | partial | composition |
| descriptant | present | descriptant |
| invariant | partial | invariant |
| tests | executed bounded checks | tests |
Obernants
The typed relations around the forward model: the behaviour complement (what the code never does), the reverse reconstruction (every input compatible with an output) and specialised views.
| id | type | label | where |

reverse_reconstruction | reverse_reconstruction | partial source derived model | reverse_reconstruction |

Model text
descriptant
latex-macros-stage1
read_newcommand consumes optional star/name, optional count0..9, optional default only if nargs>0, then one token/group body. read_def consumes name and parameter text to Open, reads balanced body, then requires parameter numbers1,2,... in encounter order. read_let consumes optional equals and one target; declareop builds CmdRaw(operatorname), optional star, braces and text.
Epoch 2026-10-31: replaced stage topic lists with concrete transitions, exclusions and compatible antecedents. Four meaningful typed views replace the previous six-view bookkeeping catalog. Shared syntax and source byte bounds are unchanged.
approximant
Scoped forward relation
read_newcommand consumes optional star/name, optional count0..9, optional default only if nargs>0, then one token/group body. read_def consumes name and parameter text to Open, reads balanced body, then requires parameter numbers1,2,... in encounter order. read_let consumes optional equals and one target; declareop builds CmdRaw(operatorname), optional star, braces and text.
This is an exact source-derived partial model, not an executable approximate replacement.
invariant
Scoped invariants
Newcommand count10 or nonnumber cannot succeed. A default is not read when count0. read_def out-of-order diagnosis cannot precede an unclosed-body error because body is read first. read_let failure may consume its invalid Close/End target.
newcommand missing name precedes count validation, which precedes body availability; def missing/unclosed body precedes parameter order checks. Body parameter references are not checked against nargs here.
DeclareMathOperator emits a raw operatorname token so a macro of that name cannot intercept the generated operator. Its output braces and star are manufactured at the supplied command position.
composition
Scoped interaction
Successful readers return borrowed-name/Macro pairs for scan or parser-local commit. No reader itself inserts a macro table entry.
The manifest binds this stage to the unchanged parent syntax projection and exact source byte range. Parent cost remains an upper accounting context; no independent whole-file invocation or execution count is assigned to this fragment.
models
behavior_complement
Newcommand count10 or nonnumber cannot succeed. A default is not read when count0. read_def out-of-order diagnosis cannot precede an unclosed-body error because body is read first. read_let failure may consume its invalid Close/End target.
reverse_reconstruction
Simple def and newcommand may construct equal zero-argument bodies from different spellings. Definition outputs omit name braces/star syntax except declareop's semantic star. Error tuples constrain the first failing read and position but do not recover consumed prefixes.
definition_precedence
newcommand missing name precedes count validation, which precedes body availability; def missing/unclosed body precedes parameter order checks. Body parameter references are not checked against nargs here.
raw_operator_encoding
DeclareMathOperator emits a raw operatorname token so a macro of that name cannot intercept the generated operator. Its output braces and star are manufactured at the supplied command position.
tests

macros::tests::scans_definitions; macros::tests::delimited_def
Selected library filters ast:: lex:: macros:: parse:: print:: table:: and integration gate excluding document_extraction_with_preamble_macros and random_token_soup_never_panics_and_roundtrips. Direct rustc --test latex/build.rs exercises private helpers. All selected tests twice debug/release with identical sorted names. Four compiled mutants at build/AST/parser/printer boundaries fail assertions then exact restoration passes. These do not individually cover every source. Build-main failure effects, allocation failures and universal roundtrip are unproved. Strict Clippy reports existing lints. No corpus/live VMM/API/GPU/full-school/held-out tests.
