Elamur Groupantsmova-whale-review
The groupant beside tools/whale/src/review.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.md |
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 |

Model text
Descriptant
Review hints: the Whale's own terminal reads the Whale's current description next to the paper parts it describes and answers with typed hint lines (MISSING, WRONG, UNCLEAR, REPHRASE, ORDER). Hints are per-paper working materials, cached by (description hash, paper hash); they guide which questions come first; their text never enters a description. Source: tools/whale/src/review.rs.
Forward approximant
requests(reading, description, parts, max_bytes): frame + description + as many described parts (paper order) as fit; further parts in further requests; each <= max_bytes (100,000 by default, 20,000..100,000); None when the description alone does not fit. parse(answer): KIND: part | text lines (ORDER: text), deduplicated, at most 40. cached/store/latest: hints/index.jsonl + round-NNN.json + round-NNN.md. focus(hints): content words of missing/wrong/unclear hints.
Invariant
A (description, paper) pair is reviewed at most once; every hint answer is kept with the Whale's answers, so the answer-overlap gate refuses any 6-gram copy of it in a description; no request exceeds max_bytes.
Cost
One request per <= max_bytes chunk (usually one); parsing linear in the answer; learn.rs asks only when a round gained fewer than min_gain_words words or the draft passes.
Composition
Parent: whale-workers. Called by learn.rs (when to review, ask, store, journal review/review_cached/hints; gaps orders terms and sentences by focus); configured by batch.rs/learn.rs (review).
behavior_complement
Not done: rewriting or reordering the description from hints (the writer restates in paper order and keeps every restatable clause; rephrase/order hints are journaled as ignored), checking that a hint is right, reviewing parts the description does not cover, a hint vocabulary beyond five kinds. Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.
reverse_reconstruction
round-NNN.json names the description and paper hashes, request hashes and sizes and answer hashes; with knowledge/answers/SHA.txt the answers are recovered. Hints do not determine the answer text.

tests.md
review::tests::hints_are_parsed_bounded_and_cached; learn::tests::review_hints_are_cached_guide_questions_and_stay_out_of_descriptions (2026-11-04): requests <= 100,000 bytes with the description and the paper part; hints stored as json and md; no description reviewed twice; the hinted term is asked; hint text in no description. Red control: a description copying the hint fails the answer-overlap gate.
