qagen-main-parsing
The groupant beside qagen/src/main.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 source model | forward |
| ast | partial | ../syntax.json |
| composition | partial source model | composition |
| cost | partial source model | cost |
| descriptant | partial source model | epoch-memory |
| invariant | partial source model | invariant |
| tests | partial source model | checks |
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.

Model text
forward
opts consumes interleaved positionals and --key value pairs; num parses optional typed values; batches_opt parses comma-separated usize; validate_options applies command/subcommand whitelist.
invariant
Successful opts never accepts missing value or consumes another option as value. Unknown keys error before main dispatch.
behavior-complement
No key=value grammar, no abbreviation matching, no duplicate rejection; negative numeric tokens are values and typed parser decides validity.
reverse-reconstruction
A parsed map has multiple preimages differing in option order and overwritten duplicates. Defaults erase distinction between absence and explicit default value at num output.
cost
O(argument bytes + K log K) parsing with owned clones; batches list allocates one usize per comma component.
composition
Whitelist includes batches for both run branches and replaces only fix gate; command arity remains validated by existing match.
missing-value
Both last option without next token and option followed by --token error.
typed-domain
num delegates FromStr; unsigned negatives/overflow reject, float NaN remains permitted by existing downstream contract.
whitelist
Selection, run, sample, fix-select and fix-gate get separate allowed key sets; prompt/gate accept no options.
precedence
Lexical parse errors precede whitelist errors; whitelist precedes command arity and typed conversion.
checks
Synthetic embedded Rust tests, 1024 independent coverage cases, preflight sentinel artifacts, callback trace and compiled branch/arithmetic controls; debug and release twice, model-loading test explicitly skipped. See parent evidence.md for observed outcomes, not proof.
epoch-memory
Prospective model was saved before repair on 2026-10-30. Old source failed four library witnesses and one CLI witness. The tie control initially survived because [2,1,2] selects 2 for both first and last ties; the corrected [2,1] witness distinguishes them. Preserve this observation: duplicate-endpoint fixtures can hide tie regressions.
references
Original project implementation and rule v2: docs/context.md, qagen/src/gate.rs and qagen/src/run.rs. Model conventions: docs/groupants.md, docs/mathematical-modeling.md and docs/mathematical-modeling.md. No external solution code copied.
limitations
Finite local tests and partial syntax projections, no semantic AST or universal proof. Allocation failure and callback panic are outside successful-return model; filesystem races and write failures can interrupt publication. No live model/teacher/database/corpus used. No useful certified numeric surrogate is attached to these categorical/effectful interfaces; no invented error budget, substitution or speed claim.
