mova-whale-seaspider-client
The groupant beside tools/whale/src/seaspider.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 |
|---|---|---|---|
behavior_complement | behavior_complement | partial source derived model | behavior_complement |
reverse_reconstruction | reverse_reconstruction | partial source derived model | reverse_reconstruction |
Model text
Descriptant
The Whales asking Sea Spider in English: ask_sea_spider sends one request as caller whale to the configured seaspider_socket through mova_octopus::relay::ask_animal; off unless configured. Source: tools/whale/src/seaspider.rs.
Forward approximant
ask_sea_spider(cfg, id, english, urgent): no socket -> error "not configured"; else ask_animal(socket, "whale", id, english, urgent).
Invariant
Stateless; reads AnimalConfig.seaspider_socket.
Cost
One relay round trip (<= 30 s).
Composition
Parent: whale-workers.
behavior_complement
no Whale capability calls it yet; no fetching by the Whales themselves; Sea Spider decides admission. Evidence status: source-derived model with finite checks, not a proof.
reverse_reconstruction
Sea Spider's requests.jsonl recovers each Whale request by id and caller. No unique inverse is claimed.
tests.md
cargo test --manifest-path tools/whale/Cargo.toml --offline with MOVA_OCTOPUS_TEST_MODEL (85 unit incl. the Sea Spider client test, 2 English tests; 2026-11-04) These are finite fixtures; not a proof.
