Elamur Groupantsmova-elephant-consult
The groupant beside tools/elephant/src/consult.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 | Forward approximant |
| Ast | partial | syntax.json |
| Composition | partial | Composition |
| Cost | partial | Cost |
| Descriptant | present | Descriptant |
| Invariant | partial | Invariant |
| Tests | finite evidence | 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.
| relation | type | label | where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavior complement | behavior complement | partial source derived model | Behavior complement |
| Reverse reconstruction | reverse reconstruction | partial source derived model | Reverse reconstruction |
Model text
Descriptant
The Elephant's consultants: profiles of private terminals (two Sols through the Codex CLI in our deployment) for the purposes edges and approaches, and the journaled question with the teachers' rules. Source: tools/elephant/src/consult.rs.
Forward approximant
submit: validate -> operator_word required -> profile serves the purpose -> the terminal is the profile's own -> bounded plain text -> hash not in the journal -> terminal ready? -> reserved (fsync) -> ask -> answered (answer hash) | limit | failed.
Invariant
No word, no question; a question hash is asked at most once (uncertain reservations never replayed); a terminal is never shared between profiles; answers are kept as evidence (admitted false).
Cost
One terminal question per call; pacing 600 s per terminal by default.
Composition
Parent: elephant. Uses nautilus::teacher (PrivateTerminal, plug, journal, states); called by work.
Behavior complement
Never writes the graph or the lists; never retries a limit or a failure. Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.
Reverse reconstruction
consult.jsonl holds every question's hash, size, profile, outcome and answer hash.
Tests
Checks
consult::tests: no word, asked once, another's terminal, unserved purpose, over the bound, limit not retried, shared terminal refused. These are finite fixtures and measurements; not a proof.
