roundtrip-volume-residual-literal-copy

The groupant beside tools/roundtrip/src/vol.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.

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.

Description and epoch memory

Seed/remember push literals without counters. code evaluates Whole and bounded candidate set, computes UTF-8 aligned edit, verifies decode, updates last only for From, increments totals then pushes.

Epoch 2026-10-31

Prospective model retained externally before edits. Existing production bytes preserved; only bounded inline tests appended to six owned files. Models distinguish byte reconstruction with residual from semantic understanding and persistent learning. Finite tests and compiled mutants support selected boundaries only. Source inspection identified noninjective projections and explicit admissibility restrictions; no bug repair or performance claim.

Combiner input is this source snapshot, syntax projection, models, costs and retained receipts. Proposed next epoch: target the stated unexecuted branches with bounded witnesses before expanding any claim. AST remains partial, macros opaque; no name resolution or proof.

approximant

Forward relation

Seed/remember push literals without counters. code evaluates Whole and bounded candidate set, computes UTF-8 aligned edit, verifies decode, updates last only for From, increments totals then pushes.

Domain: Valid Piece indices, Sent vectors and nonempty sentence forms; mark/gap UTF-8 boundaries; copy indices and pre/suf within earlier strings; representable counts and finite symbolic bit sums. Annotator and file readers unexecuted.

No executable percentage surrogate is supplied: these categorical codec/effect observations have no justified lossy metric. Future caps are 1/2/5/10% only after defining metric, zero behavior and differential reference.

Source-bound typed models

Each section is a partial source-derived relation on the bound snapshot and declared domain; finite checks are falsification evidence, not a universal proof. Observation horizon is one call unless history is explicitly named.

behavior_complement

Returned copy cannot refer to future entry; equal-price alternative cannot replace best; failed release decode falls back Whole (debug assertion panics first).

Domain and held state: Valid Piece indices, Sent vectors and nonempty sentence forms; mark/gap UTF-8 boundaries; copy indices and pre/suf within earlier strings; representable counts and finite symbolic bit sums. Annotator and file readers unexecuted.
