mova-whale-roles
The groupant beside tools/whale/src/roles.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 |

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
Descriptant
Crab ExternalRoleHandler adapter for Whale pool and swarm. Source: tools/whale/src/roles.rs. Public, domain-agnostic: concrete prompts, schemas, gate parameters and deployments come from pinned configuration.
Forward approximant
status(config, swarm): swarm::status(swarm) when Crab has a swarm configuration, else pool::status(config); start(config, swarm): swarm::start or pool::start; marker: pool::marker. serve installs WhaleRoles through mova_crab::angel::serve_with_roles.
Invariant
The adapter adds no path or program choice of its own; every effect is gated by the delegated module's pins and Crab's request/journal gates.
Cost
O(1) dispatch plus delegated cost.
Composition
Top of the public Whale tree; installed by an embedding Crab binary or mova-whale crab.
behavior_complement
Excluded: any operation without trusted server-side configuration (relative or missing paths fail closed); swarm markers (handled by Crab itself). Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.
reverse_reconstruction
A returned status admits the delegated module's compatible states; the dispatch branch is recoverable from whether a swarm configuration was present. No unique inverse is claimed.
tests.md
1 test: delegation fails closed without trusted configuration.
Command: cargo test --manifest-path tools/whale/Cargo.toml --offline --locked (74 tests, fake teachers/executables; two identical runs on 2026-11-03). These are finite fixtures; no live run, model call or deployment was exercised.
