mova-nightingale-consult
The groupant beside tools/nightingale/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 Nightingale's own Sol: profile, journaled bounded questions with the Elephant's consultant rules, the question text and the strict answer parser. Source: tools/nightingale/src/consult.rs.
Forward approximant
submit: operator_word -> own terminal -> bounded text -> hash not journaled -> ready -> reserved -> ask -> answered/limit/failed; question: at most 10 items; parse: one line per item, four columns, a known verdict.
Invariant
No word, no question; a question is asked at most once; answers are evidence only.
Cost
One terminal question per call; pacing 1 800 s by default.
Composition
Parent: nightingale.
Behavior complement
Never writes a model, list or manual; never retries. Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.
Reverse reconstruction
sol.jsonl keeps every question's hash, size, profile and outcome.
Tests
Checks
consult::tests. These are finite fixtures and measurements; not a proof.

First model, written with the source (the Nightingale: one per language under the Eel; a standard naturalness model with variety deltas).
