Closes #1485. Epic #1397, program tracker #1448. Base: develop @ e914636 (DC7 #1440 / PR #1484).

What moved

The four domains whose legacy answer is already terminal now own their pending state. A rider's plan,
update phase, settings write or free-space refresh exists in exactly one place — the domain that
owns its lifecycle — and both compositions (the pass, and the legacy drain the production hosts still
run) reach it through the same seam.

Per-domain seam inventory

Domain Type & file State it took over Seam
Navigator NavigatorMachine, firmware/obc-app/src/navigator.rs Activity::{nav_request, nav_cancel, detour_request, detour_commit, detour_cancel}, plus App::freeze (RerouteFreeze) admit_intentnext_effect / next_plan_effect / next_commit_effectApp::apply_navigator_outcome
SettingsMachine firmware/obc-app/src/settings.rs HostPending's whole persist half (revision, PersistState, backoff deadline, seven methods) admit_intent / note_editednext_effect(in_subtree, now_ms)apply_outcome
DfuState firmware/obc-app/src/dfu.rs Activity::dfu_request admit_intentnext_effectApp::apply_dfu_outcome
StorageInfo firmware/obc-app/src/device_core/storage_info.rs Activity::card_scan_request and App::card_free_bytes admit_intentnext_effectapply_outcome

Navigator carries the two rules the drain used to hide:

Navigator is now the single writer of RerouteFreeze; the module is unchanged (S5 deletes it and
derives the freeze from CoreMode). App::reroute_freeze_active, plan_in_flight,
nav_arena_precondition and debug_set_plan_live keep their signatures and read through the domain.

App::on_nav_planned / on_detour_planned / on_detour_committed stop being protocol handlers:
what survives is land_route_plan / land_detour_plan / land_detour_commit, the UI's reaction to a
Navigator state change, reached by both the typed outcome and the legacy event. One land_* per
product event, not one per protocol.

The pass

  • Stage 1 consumes navigator, settings, DFU and storage outcomes (seven token owners now, not three).
  • Stage 8 advances Navigator and emits at most one effect; the ActiveRouteRemoved and activation
    handling is unchanged.
  • Stage 9 advances SettingsMachine, supplying the two levels the decision needs (where the
    rider is standing, and the frame clock).
  • Stage 11 advances DfuState and StorageInfo. Bond stays on the legacy path — its removal is
    confirmed by a link fact, not a reply, so it cannot validate a token (EPIC — Device core: one product kernel, typed effects, thin platform executors #1433 §4.3).

Deviation: no ui → navigator / dfu / storage connections

The issue's target-file list expected three new Connections rows delivered at stage 4. I did not
add them
, and connections.rs now says why: a screen names its request straight to the owner
through Ctx::{navigator, dfu, storage} as the gesture happens. That is strictly stronger than a
same-pass slot — the request is with its owner before stage 1, not at stage 4 — and it is the only
shape that also works for the production hosts, which run drain_host_commands and no pass at all
until S6. A slot beside the domain's own pending state would be the second copy this slice exists to
remove. The stage-4 doc and the connections table both record the reasoning.

The eight drain arms

peek_host_command asks the domain a non-consuming question; drain_host_command asks for the next
effect and translates it with the compat.rs row it already had:

HostCommandClass::PlanRoute => {
    self.navigator.next_plan_effect(PlanFamily::Route).and_then(|e| navigator_row(e).command())
}
HostCommandClass::Dfu => self.dfu.next_effect().and_then(|e| dfu_row(e).command()),
HostCommandClass::ScanCardFree => self.storage.next_effect().and_then(|e| storage_info_row(e).command()),

The two cancel arms are the exception the rows themselves demand: LegacyOwned::PlannerRelease refuses
to derive a cancel from NavigatorEffect::Release, because that effect is issued on success too. They
go through App::deliver_plan_cancel, which takes the domain's one-shot and releases its freeze.

DRAIN_ORDER, class(), HostCommand and HostEvent are unchanged.

Deleted (in the same PR as their replacements)

  • Activity: nav_request, nav_cancel, detour_request, detour_commit, detour_cancel,
    dfu_request, card_scan_request and every request_* / take_* / has_* / pending_* / remap_*
    method reaching them (−183 production lines).
  • host.rs: the entire HostPending type, PersistState, retry_deadline_reached,
    SETTINGS_RETRY_BACKOFF_MS (moved to settings.rs), note_settings_edited,
    reset_settings_clean, settings_persist_ready, drain_settings_persist, on_settings_persisted,
    on_settings_persist_failed, arm_settings_save (−186 lines). The store-commit counter is a bare
    App::store_changed: u32.
  • App::card_free_bytes and its apply_event arm.
  • App::freeze (moved into NavigatorMachine), note_plan_started, note_plan_ended and their four
    call sites inside drain_host_command.
  • The protocol halves of on_nav_planned / on_detour_planned / on_detour_committed.

One behaviour was nearly lost and is now covered by a test: the drain's CancelDetour arm used to
clear the detour preview polyline. It is now App::sync_detour_preview, a falling edge on Navigator's
own detour level — the shape is derived from the plan, and a preview drawn over the active route
must not outlive it. cancelling_a_detour_drops_its_preview_polyline fails without it.

Conformance-matrix delta

The DC7 gate is green with the same disposition table: 1 Corrected row and 3 Accepted
LegacyOwned::ObjectNamespace cells, over the identical six (scenario, runner) cells. No new
differing cell, and no row retired
PlannerPacing and PlannerRelease stay with S6 because the
legacy host still paces and releases the planner itself.

What changed in the harness:

Before After
store_ownedpass_owned 4 classes 12 — the four store classes plus PlanRoute, PlanDetour, CommitDetour, CancelRoutePlan, CancelDetour, Dfu, PersistSettings, ScanCardFree. A DeviceCore runner asserts none of them ever reaches the mailbox.
serve_mailbox "the legacy half, for the six domains without a machine" "…for the two": Recorder and Bond, each with the LegacyOwned row saying why.
serve_typed catalog + retention only, assert!(!effects.has_pending()) + navigator, settings, DFU, storage; the assertion now reads "recorder, weather and bond are the domains a host cannot reach in Phase 1".
serve_scripted (new) the detour-splice and settings answers were delivered per-pass inside serve_mailbox one shared step for both DeviceCore executors, delivering typed outcomes under the typed executor and HostEvents under the compatibility one. Two of the corpus's answers are scripted at the action and cannot be request-keyed — the splice's (the Press happens on a preview the corpus hands in directly) and a stale settings ack for a superseded revision, which is the whole point of that scenario.
the_pass_owns_the_classes_it_took_over 4 classes + a table walking five scenarios and asserting the rider's request left as its domain's typed effect.
Mandatory trace #1 (an_outcome_after_cancellation_changes_nothing) adapter + a hand-rolled TokenSource now also drives the real machine: debug_start_nav → the effect → Gesture::Back → the answer arrives anyway → no route adopted, no overview shown. The adapter half stays, because it proves the adapter hands the token straight back.
a_transfer_during_planning_withdraws_heavy_capability !plan.effects.has_pending() asserts per slot instead — no navigator, DFU, catalog or retention effect. The settings write is deliberately not withdrawn: a transfer holding the store has nothing to say about a settings revision, and that distinction is what Capabilities is for.

device_core_compat.rs also moved: the boot pass now translates two commands (the retention stamp
and the settings write the trusted-clock stamp makes owed), and the test gained a tail showing what an
answerable domain buys — the settings answer reaches SettingsMachine and its correlation slot frees,
where the catalog and retention stay wedged (#1439's documented one-operation cost).

the_conformance_replay_wake_profile_and_pass_cost: unchanged, still (366, 6, 236, 124).

All 20 DC1 scenarios × 5 runners green; the 8 DC1 legacy behaviour traces green.

Added Removed Net
Production 899 574 +325

Above the issue's "flat to +250" for production. The overrun is the four machines' own bodies and doc
comments (navigator.rs +381 production alone) against a smaller deletion than expected: the four hand
lists, the legacy enums, compat.rs, migration.rs and feeders.rs all die at S6, not here. State
moved; no mechanism was removed. Suggest updating the epic's Area C row to this shape.

    a bare u32 (−8 B).
  • in: NavigatorMachine 96 B (two bounded planner requests, the per-family phase, and the
    RerouteFreeze that moved in from App), StorageInfo 24 B (the free-space figure
    card_free_bytes used to hold, plus its token), SettingsMachine 12 B, DfuState 8 B.
  • The residue is padding plus the four token generations the ownership rule requires — a domain that
    cannot validate a token cannot own an outcome (EPIC — Device core: one product kernel, typed effects, thin platform executors #1433 §4.3). This is the "seven slots leave, four
    token generations arrive" trade the issue predicted; it does not net to zero.

resource_baseline.json is re-pinned only for compile_time_allocations.app (50,904 → 50,928 on
both profiles), with that note. Nothing else in the file changed, and resource_guard.py report matches.

Open questions answered

  1. Should the three small domains ship here? Yes — done. They share the peek/drain plumbing and the
    conformance harness with Navigator; splitting would have touched both twice.
  2. One PR or two? One.
  3. Area C's −195 LOC row should be rewritten to this slice's shape (see LOC above).
  4. store_writable cannot come back down — untouched here. It is a fact-vocabulary gap
    (ExternalFacts has no unmount fact), and it belongs with whoever adds that fact.

…n pending state

The four domains whose legacy answer is already terminal now own the rider's
request end to end: an intent, an operation token, a bounded effect, and one
`admit_intent` / `next_effect` / `apply_outcome` seam beside the state they
already hold. A plan, an update phase, a settings write and a free-space refresh
each exist in exactly one place.

Navigator is the load-bearing half. It owns the planning lifecycle per family
(`Idle → Requested → Planning → PreviewReady → Committing → Active | Failed`),
the #499 post-time annihilation, the #1146 per-family freeze release, and
late-answer refusal by token — and it is the single writer of `RerouteFreeze`,
which moved in from `App`. `SettingsMachine` absorbs `HostPending`'s persist half
(the dirty revision, the subtree debounce, the retry backoff, the #810 stale-ack
rule); `HostPending`'s remaining store-commit counter folds into `App`.

Pass stages 8, 9 and 11 stop being empty and advance real machines; stage 1
consumes their outcomes. The eight `peek_host_command` / `drain_host_command`
arms become translation only, through the `compat.rs` rows those effects already
had. `DRAIN_ORDER`, `class()`, `HostCommand` and `HostEvent` are untouched.

There is deliberately no `UiRuntime` → Navigator/DFU/StorageInfo connection: a
screen names its request straight to the owner through `Ctx`, which reaches the
domain before stage 1 rather than at stage 4, and is the only shape that also
serves the hosts still driving `drain_host_commands` — no host runs the pass
until S6. A slot beside it would be the second copy this slice exists to remove.

Deleted with their replacements: seven `Activity` one-shot slots and their
`take_*` / `has_*` / `pending_*` families, `App::card_free_bytes`, the whole
`HostPending` type, and the four `note_plan_started` / `note_plan_ended` call
sites inside the drain.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 51b62

The PR consolidates pending state ownership across navigation, settings, DFU, and storage while preserving the documented behavior and passing the supplied conformance and trace checks. It is mergeable with owner awareness that a changed documentation comment still contains revision and epic history references that should be cleaned up.

Route the settings fault through the fault connection.

Stage 1 calls self.on_warning directly. The stage-2 handler at Line 401 raises the same class of notice into self.pass.connections.faults, and the stage-13 documentation states that every fault raised in a pass reaches the rider together. Use the connection here so the settings failure follows the same path as every other in-pass fault.

Adversarial review — S2 #1486

I tried to refute this one. The architecture holds up: the four seams are real, the deletions are genuine (I grepped every named symbol — HostPending, card_free_bytes on App, all seven Activity slots and their method families are gone with no second copy anywhere), RerouteFreeze really does have exactly one writer, and the pass/drain pair reach the same state through the same doors. The disposition table is byte-for-byte unchanged and the wake profile never moved.

Three things I could not talk myself out of. None is a blocker; all three are real.

app.rs integrity verdict: INTACT

Given the disclosed mid-run git checkout and transcript replay, I audited app.rs specifically rather than trusting the diff summary:

  • The diff is 887 lines across 41 hunks; I read every hunk. Every one is slice-related. Non-hunk regions are identical to origin/develop by construction.
  • Function inventory diffed develop vs HEAD: the only deltas are the 7 expected additions (land_route_plan, land_detour_plan, land_detour_commit, land_card_scan, land_settings_failure, deliver_plan_cancel, end_plan, sync_detour_preview, admit_navigator_intent, apply_navigator_outcome, apply_dfu_outcome, note_store_changed, and the one new test) and the 9 expected removals (note_plan_started, note_plan_ended, on_nav_planned, on_detour_planned, on_detour_committed, on_settings_persisted, on_settings_persist_failed). Nothing unrelated vanished.
  • Duplicate-symbol check (a replay's characteristic failure): the set of repeated fn names is identical on both sides (new/poll/record, all test-helper impls). No block was pasted twice.
  • Constants and moved helpers are verbatim: SETTINGS_RETRY_BACKOFF_MS = 2_000 and retry_deadline_reached's now.wrapping_sub(deadline) < 0x8000 are byte-identical after the move to settings.rs, and every semantic doc block that left (HostPending's state table, the card_free_bytes contract, the freeze-edge reasoning) reappears at its new owner rather than being dropped.
  • peek_host_command's and drain_host_command's 18 arms are all present; DRAIN_ORDER, class(), HostCommand, HostEvent untouched.

No lost method, no changed constant, no dropped comment with semantic content.


SHOULD-FIX

1. CardScanned { free_bytes: None } no longer blanks the rider's Card free figure — undisclosed, untested, and contradicted by the comment on its only producer

firmware/obc-app/src/device_core/storage_info.rs:142

pub(crate) fn note_measured(&mut self, free_bytes: Option<u64>) {
    if let Some(free_bytes) = free_bytes {
        self.free_bytes = Some(free_bytes);
    }
}

The code this replaces assigned unconditionally:

HostEvent::CardScanned { free_bytes } => {
    self.card_free_bytes = free_bytes;   // develop
    self.ui.map_dirty = true;
}

Three problems, in ascending order:

  • The only real producer means "no medium", not "the scan failed". firmware/obc-fw-nrf54l/src/ride.rs:1485 sends free_bytes: storage.as_ref().and_then(|s| s.card_free_bytes()) — the outer and_then yields None when there is no mounted storage at all. The comment two lines above it (ride.rs:1482) still states the old contract in so many words: "or a None → the screen keeps -- when there's no card / no FSInfo free count". That sentence is now false and was left untouched. Meanwhile app.rs:3371's new comment asserts the opposite — "an unqualified None is the failed scan" — which is not what the board sends.
  • The domain contradicts itself. storage_info.rs:10-12 justifies splitting StorageInfoError::NotMounted from ScanFailed because they are "different sentences to put in front of a rider" — then apply_outcome (line 125) collapses both, plus Cancelled, into the same silent no-op. The distinction the slice paid for is never used.
  • Nothing tests it either way. I grepped every CardScanned site: device_core_legacy_traces.rs:361 and the corpus only ever assert Some(8_388_608); device_core_compat.rs:502 uses None purely as a reply-class representative. So a rider looking at "Card free: 8.0 GB" on a device with no card in it is a state no suite can see — which is precisely why the DC1 traces stayed green through this change.

Fix direction: either restore the blanking (simplest, and it is what "behaviour preserved" claims), or — better, since the vocabulary now exists — blank on NotMounted and keep the last figure only on ScanFailed, map the legacy bare None onto NotMounted, update ride.rs:1482, and put the chosen rule in a test. Whichever way it goes, the PR body's behaviour-preservation section should name it.

2. Navigator's token layer is single-operation while its freeze layer is per-family — and the test named for #1146 does not pin the half that matters

firmware/obc-app/src/navigator.rs:338 (next_plan_effect), :326 (next_release), :589 (the test)

RerouteFreeze deliberately carries two flags, and its own docs say why: "two runs live at once is not a state the UI can reach today, and a tag would have to pick a winner if it ever did — two levels simply hold the freeze until both are done." NavigatorMachine then layers a single ops: TokenSource and a single live: Option<PlanFamily> over it, and TokenSource::issue() (device_core/shared.rs:124) bumps one generation, so at most one token is ever current across both families.

The consequence, mechanically:

  1. next_plan_effect(Route)live = Some(Route), token T1, freeze.route_live = true.
  2. next_plan_effect(Detour)supersede(Detour) is a no-op (live != Detour), then self.ops.issue()T2. T1 is now stale.
  3. The route search's genuine answer arrives as PlanFinished { token: T1 }accepts() (:364) returns false → refused → land_route_plan never runs → end_plan(Route, …) never runs → freeze.route_live is stuck true.

That is verbatim the regression reroute_freeze.rs names in its own doc comment: "a map that never redraws again with an unfrozen matcher drifting under it." next_release(Detour) (:326) has the same shape — it issues a fresh token while another family's operation is live.

The sharp part: a_detours_terminal_edge_never_releases_a_route_freeze (:589) is the test the PR body cites for "two live searches holding it until the last one ends (#1146, both directions)", and it reaches state (2) exactly — it starts a detour search while the route search is live. It does not observe the breakage because it drives note_answer(...) directly instead of going through accepts(), so the token layer is never exercised. The test's claim is broader than its coverage.

I accept this is not reachable through today's UI (route planning and detour planning cannot be interleaved), and I am not asking for speculative per-family tokens against the repo's own rule. But RerouteFreeze did provision for it, on purpose, and this slice silently un-provisions it one layer up while a test asserts the opposite. Fix direction: either give live/ops the same per-family shape the freeze has, or keep the single generation and make the machine honest — a debug_assert!(self.live.is_none() || self.live == Some(family)) in next_plan_effect/next_release plus a sentence in the live field doc saying a second concurrent family would invalidate the first's answer, and narrow the test's doc comment to what it actually pins.

3. Two consumers of the same cancel one-shot, with different reach — under the compat composition the pass wins and the cancellation dies

firmware/obc-app/src/navigator.rs:326 vs firmware/obc-app/src/app.rs:1820

NavigatorMachine::next_effect() offers next_release(Route) / next_release(Detour) first, and next_release calls take_cancel(family) — the same one-shot App::deliver_plan_cancel takes for the CancelRoutePlan / CancelDetour drain arms. Stage 8 runs before drain_host_commands, so whichever composition runs the pass consumes the cancel there.

Under Executor::Typed that is fine — the Release reaches the executor. Under Executor::Compatibility it is not: navigator_row(NavigatorEffect::Release { .. }) is AnsweredRow::Absent(LegacyOwned::PlannerRelease) (compat.rs:365), untranslatable by design. So on a host running run_pass + LegacyAdapter, the rider's cancel is consumed by stage 8, emitted as an effect the adapter cannot express, and the executor is never told to drop the planner — while the drain arm that was supposed to carry it finds nothing.

The conformance suite does not catch this because the corpus's legacy executor treats CancelRoutePlan / CancelDetour as no-ops (device_core_conformance.rs:718), so no rider-visible cell moves. It is not production-reachable today (no shipped host runs both compositions). But the PR body presents the two cancel arms as the path a cancellation takes, and says nothing about the pass racing them for the same flag. Fix direction: no code change necessarily needed — state it at the seam. A sentence on next_release and on deliver_plan_cancel saying these consume one flag and that under the adapter composition the Release is dropped as PlannerRelease, so S6 inherits a known gap rather than discovering one. If you would rather close it, next_release could skip the release while a legacy drain is the active composition, but I'd take the honest comment over new mechanism here.


NIT

  • SettingsMachine::note_persist_failed returns true unconditionally (settings.rs:2276). The guarded if above it makes the true read as a guard result, and the doc says "Returns whether the rider is told." It never returns false. This is legacy-faithful (on_settings_persist_failed always raised the card, stale revision or not) and I am not asking to change the behaviour — but a_failed_write_backs_off_and_retries_once's assert!(machine.note_persist_failed(revision, 1_000), …) is vacuous, and the next reader will assume a stale failure is silent. Say "the rider is always told a save failed; the revision guard decides only whether it stays retryable."
  • NavigatorMachine::reset_detour (:496) clears the three one-shots but not the new detour phase or live. A fresh session therefore inherits PlanPhase::PreviewReady/Active describing a detour that was just dropped, so detour_planned() and detour_committing() outlive the state they report. The old Activity::reset_ride had no phase to reset, so this is new surface, not a regression — but the field belongs in the same reset, and the destructure-based assert_boot_state pattern used elsewhere in this PR would have caught it.
  • ride.rs:1482's comment is stale — see SHOULD-FIX 1. Worth fixing regardless of which way that one lands.
  • test_ctx leaks three Box::leaks per call (screen/mod.rs:243-245). Documented and #[cfg(test)]-only, and I see why (&mut for a lifetime the helper cannot own). But it is called from a lot of screen tests, and the callers that actually assert already hand in their own via struct-update — which is the shape that does not need the leak. Not worth churn now; worth not spreading.

Conformance claims, independently checked:

  • Disposition table: the Disposition::Corrected / Accepted rows region is completely untouched by this diff — 1 Corrected + 3 Accepted ObjectNamespace, same six cells. No new differing cell, no row retired. LegacyOwned::ALL still has all 10 rows and every_legacy_owned_row_names_the_slice_that_deletes_it is green.
  • the_conformance_replay_wake_profile_and_pass_cost: the (366, 6, 236, 124) tuple does not appear in the diff at all — genuinely unchanged.
  • pass_owned 4 → 12: verified, the eight added classes are exactly LegacyReply::ALL's command side.
  • The serve_mailbox "six → two" split is accurate: only Recorder and Bond remain, each with its LegacyOwned row.
  • Baseline re-pin is compile_time_allocations.app only (50,904 → 50,928 on both profiles) plus the _compile_note_s2_1485 note. No other key moved.

Deviation 1 (no ui → slots; screens reach the owner via Ctx) — I checked the guard story rather than taking the argument on faith. apply_event and apply_derived refuse on pass.in_pass() (app.rs:3357, :3576); apply_gesture has no such guard — but it never did, and it has always mutated Activity the same way. The pending state moved from one un-guarded-door-reachable place to another, so DC5's determinism contract is exactly as strong (or as weak) as it was before this slice. The deviation itself is well argued and I agree with it: a slot beside the domain's own pending state would have been the second copy the slice exists to delete. Worth noting for S6 that apply_gesture is now the un-guarded door into four domain machines rather than one struct of one-shots — if the guard ever gets extended, that is the call site.

Behaviour preservation — the 8 DC1 legacy traces are unchanged files and green, which is the strongest evidence available that the legacy path did not move. The two deliberate timing changes I found are both disclosed and both improvements: the detour preview polyline now drops at gesture time rather than drain time (covered by cancelling_a_detour_drops_its_preview_polyline), and the boot pass's PersistSettings now leaves via stage 9 rather than the drain (device_core_compat.rs updated to match; next_effect's Awaiting transition makes a double-emit impossible across the two compositions — I checked). The one behaviour change that is not disclosed is SHOULD-FIX 1.

Peek/drain arms — all eight are translation-only through the existing compat.rs rows. The two cancel arms are the documented exception and the reason given (PlannerRelease is issued on success too) is correct. No policy left in any arm.


Good work on the hard part. Navigator's #499 annihilation, the delivery-time (not admission-time) #1146 release, and the land_*-per-product-event collapse are all right, and the reasoning recorded for deviation 2 is the kind of thing that saves the next reader an afternoon. Fix 1, decide what you want to do about 2 and 3, and this is ready.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Review of #1486 found one rider-visible regression and two latent ones.

`StorageInfo::note_measured(None)` silently kept the last byte count where
develop assigned unconditionally, so a rider who pulled the card kept seeing
"Card free: 8.0 GB" — and the board's only producer sends `None` for exactly
that case. The assignment is unconditional again: a measurement that produced no
figure leaves a `--`. `NotMounted` and `ScanFailed` both blank (neither produced
a figure; they stay distinct because they are different facts), a `Cancelled`
leaves the figure alone because nothing was attempted, and the stale contract
comment on the board's producer is corrected.

Navigator hands out **one operation at a time**. Its token source is a single
generation, so a second concurrent operation superseded the first, its genuine
answer was refused, and that family's freeze flag was stranded — verbatim the
"map never redraws again" #1146 names. `next_plan_effect` and
`next_commit_effect` now refuse while one is in flight (the request stays queued
— backpressure, never a loss, as `CatalogState` does), `next_release` no longer
mints a token while another family is live, and the `ops`/`live` docs state the
constraint where the next author meets it. The #1146 test drives the real seam —
`next_effect` and `accepts` — instead of `note_answer`, so the token layer is
actually exercised.

The two consumers of the cancel one-shot are documented at both doors, including
the gap the pass-plus-adapter composition inherits (`PlannerRelease` is
untranslatable by design) and why no shipped host reaches it.

Also: `reset_detour` clears the detour phase it left behind; the settings fault
is raised into the fault connection so it reaches the rider with every other
notice at stage 13 (this moves two replay passes from sleep-until-event to
timed, re-pinned with the reason; the two gated figures are unchanged); the
`note_persist_failed` doc says it always returns true and a test pins why; and
the conformance transfer trace asserts the settings effect rather than tolerating
its absence.

Review round — all three SHOULD-FIX addressed, commit 15fcad32

Thank you for the audit, especially the app.rs integrity pass. All three findings were real; two got code fixes rather than comments, because in both cases the mechanism turned out to be the cheaper answer.

1. CardScanned { free_bytes: None }fixed, and you were right about all three parts

note_measured assigns unconditionally again, so a None blanks the row back to --. On the rule: I took blank on any failure rather than your "blank on NotMounted, keep on ScanFailed", for one reason — the second needs compat.rs to remap the bare legacy None onto NotMounted, and DC6's recorded reasoning there ("'not mounted' is a claim the legacy event never made") is correct: ride.rs's storage.as_ref().and_then(|s| s.card_free_bytes()) is None for a missing mount and for a missing FSInfo count, and nothing downstream can tell which. Blanking on both restores develop exactly, on both paths, without rewriting a true comment into a false one.

That does mean the two errors have the same effect on the figure, so I said why in apply_outcome instead of leaving the contradiction you spotted: they stay distinct because they are different facts, not because the figure differs — neither produced one. A Cancelled is now the one answer that leaves the figure alone, because nothing was attempted.

  • ride.rs:1482 rewritten to state the real contract.
  • app.rs's "an unqualified None is the failed scan" is gone — it now says the None means only "no figure".
  • Tests: a_failed_measurement_blanks_the_figure_and_is_not_retried (both error variants), an_abandoned_measurement_leaves_the_figure_alone, and — the one that would have caught this — a_card_scan_with_no_figure_blanks_the_free_space_row, driving the real App::apply_event path the board uses.

2. Single token generation over per-family freeze flags — fixed mechanically, not asserted away

I went for the enforcement rather than the debug_assert!, because the invariant is real and the machine can simply keep it: next_plan_effect and next_commit_effect refuse while live is Some. The refused request stays in its own slot and goes out on a later pass — backpressure, never a loss, the same shape CatalogState::next_effect already uses. Your step (2) can no longer happen, so T1 is never superseded and route_live cannot strand.

next_release had the same shape and is fixed the same way: it mints a token only when live is clear, i.e. only when the cancelled family's own operation was the one in flight. A cancellation with nothing of its own to stop is a host-side no-op, and issuing a generation for it while another search ran was your bug by a different door.

The ops and live field docs now state the single-generation constraint and what a second concurrent operation would cost, sitting exactly where the next author mints a token. And the test you called out is rewritten to drive the real seam — next_effect and accepts, never note_answer — so it observes the route search's genuine answer still being accepted after a cross-family cancel and a refused detour request. a_second_operation_is_refused_rather_than_superseding_the_first pins the refusal on its own.

One consequence is now pinned rather than hidden: host_commands_drain_in_canonical_order_and_exactly_once drains 16 classes in its first batch, not 18, and then asserts the retained detour plan and commit come out on the next two drains in canonical order with nothing lost.

3. Two consumers of one cancel one-shot — documented at both doors, as you suggested

No new mechanism. NavigatorMachine::next_release and App::deliver_plan_cancel both say they consume the same flag, that stage 8 wins under a composition running both, and that the resulting Release is dropped as PlannerRelease — untranslatable by design, because a Release is issued on success too. Both note that no shipped host runs both compositions (nothing calls App::run_pass until S6, which is also what gives Navigator an executor that answers a Release), so S6 inherits a stated gap rather than discovering one.

Fix 2 shrank it in passing: a cross-family cancel now emits no Release at all, so the only case that reaches the gap is a cancellation of the family that actually had the operation.

NITs

  • note_persist_failed returns true unconditionally — kept, exactly for the reason you gave. The doc now says so outright and says what the revision guard does decide; the vacuous assert! is gone; and a_stale_failure_is_still_shown_but_re_arms_nothing pins both halves — the rider is told, and the newer revision is owed immediately rather than parked behind a backoff it never earned.
  • reset_detour left the phase behind — fixed, with a_session_reset_leaves_nothing_describing_the_dropped_detour. live and the token are deliberately not reset: an executor may still hold that operation, and its answer is what hands the workspace back.
  • ride.rs:1482 — fixed under 1.
  • test_ctx's three Box::leaks — skipped, agreed on "worth not spreading". Every caller that asserts already hands in its own via struct-update; the leak only serves the callers that never touch the domains.

CodeRabbit

Replied and resolved all three: the navigator one (same fix as your 2), the settings one (behaviour kept — legacy-faithful — docs and test fixed; note_seeded returns (), so there was nothing to change there), and the conformance one (taken: let _ = plan.effects.settings.take() would have passed just as happily if the write had stopped going out, so it is an assert! now). Its nitpick was also taken — the stage-1 settings fault is raised into connections.faults so it reaches the rider with every other notice at stage 13, which is what the stage-13 docs already promised.

Verification

Check Result
cargo test --workspace 3,939 passed, 0 failed (192 suites)

Disposition table: still unchanged — 1 Corrected + 3 Accepted ObjectNamespace, same six cells, no new differing cell, no row retired.

One ratchet moved and is re-pinned with its cause. Routing the settings fault through the fault connection moves two replay passes from sleep-until-event to timed: (366, 6, 236, 124)(366, 6, 238, 122). The card and the wake its timeout arms now land at stage 13 of the same pass instead of before stages 2–12 run — same pass, same card, same rider-visible state. The two figures the epic gates — 366 passes and 6 immediate wakes — are untouched, which is the claim that matters: nothing polls. The reason is written into WAKE_PROFILE's doc rather than left as a number that moved.

Resources: resident 304,832 B and size_of::<App>() 50,928 B are unchanged from the last round (the fixes cost no RAM). Flash 1,449,328 → 1,449,768 B (+440 B for the guards and docs), against the 1,524,676 B ceiling; the baseline note's flash figure is updated with it. Poll frame, task future, arena, residual stack all unchanged.

Verdict: APPROVE

Re-reviewed 15fcad32 against my three SHOULD-FIXes and the four nits. All seven are addressed, and I could not find a new defect. No remaining blocker. Details of what I actually checked, since two of these fixes deserve more than "looks right".

SHOULD-FIX 1 — the None blank: restores develop exactly

Composing the new call chain and comparing to the old arm:

// develop
HostEvent::CardScanned { free_bytes } => { self.card_free_bytes = free_bytes; self.ui.map_dirty = true; }

// HEAD: apply_event → land_card_scan → StorageInfo::note_measured
self.storage.free_bytes = free_bytes;   // note_measured, now unconditional
self.ui.map_dirty = true;               // land_card_scan

Byte-for-byte the same assignment and the same repaint, and Render::card_free_bytes reads storage.free_bytes(). ride.rs:1482's comment is now true rather than contradicted.

The new test drives the real legacy door (apply_event(CardScanned { free_bytes: None })), not the domain seam, which is what I asked for — it is the one path the board actually produces, and it would have failed against the previous if let Some(…) body. Splitting Cancelled out to leave the figure alone is a genuine improvement and cannot affect develop parity: no legacy event maps to Cancelled. Keeping NotMounted and ScanFailed distinct as facts while both blank the figure resolves the self-contradiction I flagged — the vocabulary now earns its keep without pretending the legacy None can tell them apart.

SHOULD-FIX 2 — the strand: structurally impossible now, not merely untested

I walked my original trace against the new code and then tried to find any way around it.

The trace, step by step:

  1. next_plan_effect(Route) → guard passes → live = Some(Route), token T1, freeze.route_live = true.
  2. next_plan_effect(Detour)if self.live.is_some() { return None; } → no token minted. T1 stays current. The strand is prevented at step 2.
  3. PlanFinished { token: T1 }accepts()trueend_plan(Route, …) → freeze released.

Then the exhaustive check, because a guard is only as good as its coverage. There are exactly three token mints in navigator.rs, and every one is guarded:

Line Site Guard
365 next_release self.live.is_none().then(|| … ops.issue())
391 next_plan_effect if self.live.is_some() { return None; } at 378
404 next_commit_effect if self.live.is_some() { return None; } at 398

No unguarded mint exists, so a second operation can never supersede a running one, so a running search's genuine answer can never be refused, so its freeze flag can never be stranded. That is a structural argument, not a test-coverage one — which is what I wanted, given the failure mode is "the map never redraws again."

live is always cleared, so the refusal cannot wedge Navigator. Writes to None are at 316 (supersede), 422 (note_answer), 446 (note_commit). Every path that sets live (390, 403) is terminated by one of those on both protocols — NavPlanned/DetourPlanned/DetourCommitted on the legacy side, the typed terminal outcomes on the other — and a rider's Back always reaches supersede, so there is an out even under a silent executor. Worth noting this is strictly better than develop: where the old code superseded and left a stuck freeze (a frozen map), the new code queues and waits (a live UI).

next_release minting without setting live is correct and now says so — handing the workspace back owes no product answer, so nothing is waiting on it.

The retained-request test can genuinely fail. In both next_plan_effect and next_commit_effect the is_some() guard sits at relative line 2 and the take() at relative lines 6-7 and 5 — guard before take, so a refused request is retained rather than consumed. That ordering is exactly what the tests pin: move the guard below the take and a_second_operation_is_refused_rather_than_superseding_the_first's post-answer next_plan_effect(Route).is_some() fails, and the app.rs batch test's second- and third-drain PlanDetour / CommitDetour assertions fail with it. Not vacuous.

The #1146 test now drives next_effect and accepts instead of note_answer, so it pins the layer that could actually break, and its doc no longer claims coverage it does not have. The HOST_COMMAND_CLASSES - 2 change is honest bookkeeping for the new backpressure, and the follow-on drains prove deferral rather than loss. Serialization is not rider-visible: a route plan and a detour plan cannot both be pending through the UI, and the queued work goes out one pass later regardless.

SHOULD-FIX 3 — the cancel double-consumer

Documented at both doors (next_release and deliver_plan_cancel), naming the composition, the PlannerRelease reason, the fact that no shipped host runs both, and S6 as the closer. Fix 2 also shrank the gap: next_release now emits only when the cancellation had an operation of its own to stop, so the cross-family case no longer even reaches the untranslatable effect. note_cancel_delivered still runs ahead of the guard, so the freeze release edge fires whether or not an effect goes out — I checked that specifically, since tying the release to the effect would have been an easy regression to introduce here.

Nits

All four closed. note_persist_failed's always-true is now stated outright and backed by a_stale_failure_is_still_shown_but_re_arms_nothing, which pins the real distinction (told vs. retryable) instead of asserting a constant. reset_detour clears detour and explains why live and the token deliberately stay. ride.rs:1482 fixed. Moving the stage-1 settings failure onto the fault connection is a nice extra — it puts stage 1 on the same "notices reach the rider together at stage 13" convention as the rest of the pass.

Wake ratchet — attribution accepted

(366, 6, 236, 124)(366, 6, 238, 122). The two gated figures are unchanged: 366 passes and 6 immediate wakes. Only the timed/sleep split moved, by two, and the mechanism is exactly what the constant's new comment says — raising SETTINGS_ERROR through the fault connection lands the card (and the wake its timeout arms) at stage 13 rather than before stages 2-12 run, so two passes cross from sleep-until-event to timed. Same pass, same card, same rider-visible state; the disposition table is untouched. Nothing here polls, which is the property the ratchet exists to protect.

The only baseline edit in this commit is the flash figure inside the _compile_note_s2_1485 prose (1,449,328 → 1,449,768, a note field, not a gate); compile_time_allocations.app is untouched at 50,928 on both profiles, and I reproduced every gated number independently.


Good round. Fix 2 in particular came back stronger than what I asked for — I would have accepted a debug_assert and an honest comment, and instead the constraint is enforced where the token is minted, with backpressure that provably loses nothing. Ship it.
