R1's rules win where both sides decided the same question: a zero-byte file is
not a store (refused as unreadable in every runtime), only nothing at the path is
empty, a dangling link is an I/O error, refusals never echo stored values and echo
a header only as cultcache.store.v<digits>, writes report Rejected, NotReplaced
and ReplacedNotDurable. C2a's rules win on what it added: the v3 element-id
header, variants, whole-file proof, typed unreadable errors in C#, TypeScript and
Python. Rust keeps R1's CultCacheStoreUnreadable{path, kind}; C2a's
StoreUnreadableError is deleted. The readability manifest's zero-byte row is
refuses x4.
Not yet built or tested: verification follows in the next commits.

F1: RecordUnappliedEntry keeps the primary's wire entry on the in-memory log
entry (internal Relayed) and ToLogEntryMessage returns it through the same
normalisation the store uses, so a replica with no store no longer relays a
skipped put as a delete; memory and disk relay identically.
Soul's 4d probes are committed (chained replica keeps the row, key-prefixed
reads serve only owned keys, primary-all serves everything; the two
measurements are explicit) with a memory/disk relay-parity test.
Rust: captured-bytes cases for unowned_schema and variant_unsupported (with and
without a subscription).
The error-code set is stated as a closed enum in the schema description (both
copies) and in cultnet-distributed-database.md: adding a code is one
coordinated change across runtimes, since Rust and TypeScript refuse an unknown
code. The Soul 4c probe file's header says what it guards.

Q1: HandlePutAsync/HandleDeleteAsync catch a CultNetShardLogException (or an
AggregateException holding one) before the generic catch and answer nothing: the
write committed and was published, so the peer is not told it was refused. It is
logged at warning level. The wire has no committed-with-degraded-log message.
Q2: GetAsync/GetAll/GetByName/GetByIndex, the shard-less snapshot, the selection
and the subscription snapshot serve only rows a shard owns, so read and watch
agree; the CultMesh collections follow through GetAll, and the Mesh untyped
variant fallback checks ownership. The raw cache still holds everything.
Q3: a replica log apply skips a row its shard does not own, as the snapshot path
does, and still records the entry so a chained replica sees no gap.
API: rowFilter is internal (public CreateSelectionResponse and
CreateRawSnapshotResponse signatures restored, internal overloads added);
exception tags on the write methods; Commit's unwrap rule is XML doc; the
unowned refusal answers on the wire with code unowned_schema (schema enum in both
copies, Rust CultNetErrorCode, CultNetErrorMessage.ForUnownedSchema) and put and
delete log it at warning level.
Dispose keeps journal-first; a test now fails if the observer goes first.

CultWitnessContractPin, CultWitnessArtifactEntry and CultWitnessTimingEntry get
an id slot. The JSON schema contract and the Python schema copy gain an optional
id per element, and the Python and TypeScript fixtures carry and assert ids.

Reconcile's withdrawal sent an untyped error with no subscription id and left the
peer holding the rows the subscription had delivered. It now sends removals for
those rows, then a variant_unsupported error whose details carry
field "subscriptionId" and the id (the existing details slots; no new wire key).
The subscribe and per-change paths use the same code. The error schema and the
Rust CultNetErrorCode accept variant_unsupported, so a Rust peer decodes it
instead of refusing an unknown code.

Adds citer-both-in-target to the shared fixture, the first row in file (and
row-order) to cite "dup-key" through Design - both leaf_a and leaf_b at that
key are in Design's declared target, unlike citer_narrow's narrow_ref above
it (only ever one in-target candidate). Adds the matching vector case to
both runtimes' case lists and regenerates both written vector files
(CULTNET_WRITE_VECTORS=1), so cross-runtime agreement on this shape is
pinned by the parity check, not just asserted per-runtime.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fixture had zero duplicate record keys across its ten rows and no
ordinal tied across two different schemas - both shapes this fix batch's
rulings needed and neither runtime's parity vectors ever covered.
R-AF adds a "citer_narrow" schema (real SHA-256 id, computed the same way
CultDocumentRegistry does - a probe run against a type matching the
eventual C# type's exact namespace/nesting confirmed it) whose one
reference targets leaf_a only, plus rows for both shapes from Soul's
table: a lone out-of-target row at a key (refuses), and two rows sharing
a key where only one is in-target (accepts, resolving the in-target one
regardless of row order).
Also drops "targetSchema" from every reference entry: it was never
anything but documentation (SelectionParityVectorTests.BuildDocument and
cultnet-rs's build_row both already read only targetKey) and keeping a
field the wire does not actually have would contradict the rule R-AF just
established.
R-AJ adds a tied-ordinal pair across leaf_a and leaf_b, with keys chosen
opposite to the real schema ids (probed) on purpose, so a schemaId-first
order and a recordKey-first order are forced to disagree regardless of
which real id happens to sort first - see the row-tiebreak test this
enables.
selection-vectors.cs-written.json and selection-vectors.rs-written.json
are regenerated from the new fixture (CULTNET_WRITE_VECTORS=1 on both
sides) and cross-checked in both directions locally.

share one alias rule
selection-vectors.fixture.json's "//aliases" comment still called the
two alias forms a cross-runtime defect ("no candidate string that
resolves through both"). That was true before the Rust alias port; it
is not true now. Both runtimes resolve a schema alias the same one way
(strip a trailing .vN, compare the remainder against the descriptor's
declared SchemaName): nameAlias resolves through both, and hashAlias -
kept in the fixture on purpose - is refused as unmatched by both, since
neither runtime's production call sites produce or accept it.
Prose-only change to this shared fixture file, as ruled: no vector
values, schema ids, or row data touched.
Also recorded for Self's map: cultnet-rs's alias port (R-E) does not
carry SchemaVersion or CompatibleSchemaIds - no Rust call site needs
either, so schema_alias::matches folds them away and agrees with the C#
rule only on the subset it actually uses (candidate/id/name comparison,
not version or compatibility-list matching).

CultNetErrorMessage is a MessagePack-CSharp map-mode object, so every
declared key is written on the wire, nil included - the same fact R-S
already established for the raw document header. cultnet.error.schema.json
was missing routingHint entirely and typed code/details as always-present
non-null values; Soul's P7 found real bytes failing it on exactly this.
routingHint, code and details are now `required`, with nullable types
matching CultNetErrorMessage/CultNetErrorDetails. A new test decodes real
bytes for all four refusal codes (selection_invalid, cursor_stale,
cursor_invalid, reference_outside_target) against the schema.
MiniJsonSchemaValidator:
- implements minimum, maximum, maxLength and maxItems, which were declared
in committed schemas (fieldPredicate's number pattern, selection.limit,
...) but silently never checked;
- anchors `pattern` to a full match (Index==0 && Length==value.Length)
instead of Regex.IsMatch's "search anywhere", so .NET's `$` (which,
unlike ECMA-262's, matches immediately before one trailing newline even
without RegexOptions.Multiline) can no longer let e.g. "5\n" pass a
schema author wrote as "exactly one digit";
- refuses a schema node that uses a keyword this validator gives no
constraint semantics to, instead of silently ignoring it. Running every
committed contracts/cultnet/*.schema.json schema through this found 12
such uses, none reached by any existing test: `allOf`/`if`/`then`/`else`
in cultnet.database-change-raw.schema.json, and `uniqueItems` (six
places) plus one `anyOf` in the cultmesh.verse-catalog-*.schema.json
pair. contentEncoding, $schema/$id/$defs/title/description/default and
the x-cult-runtime-type vendor extension are treated as metadata with no
constraint semantics to implement, not refused.

New contracts/cultnet/cultnet.raw-document-header.schema.json for
CultNetRawDocumentHeader - it has no payload/payloadEncoding members at all,
so headers must not $ref the record schema (which required both). The
response page's own schema now lists every property CultNetSnapshotResponseRawV1Message
declares as `required` (present on the wire, nil included) rather than only
the four that happened to be non-nullable - MessagePack-CSharp's map-mode
formatter writes every declared key regardless of null, so `headers`/`documents`
are always both present, one an array and the other an explicit null by
projection. The old `oneOf: [{required:[headers]},{required:[documents]}]`
matched both branches on every real page (both keys present) and so never
validated anything; it is now `oneOf` over each key's type (array vs null),
which is mutually exclusive. cultnet.raw-document-record.schema.json gained
schemaName/schemaVersion/schemaContentHash (present on every real record, not
previously in the schema at all - any real page would have failed
additionalProperties:false on them). fieldPredicate's two oneOf branches each
gained `not: {required: [the other]}`, so `values` and `number` cannot both
be present (previously only `required` was checked, which does not exclude
the sibling key).
Added MiniJsonSchemaValidator, a deliberately small draft-2020-12 subset
validator (type/required/additionalProperties/properties/items/const/enum/
pattern/minLength/minItems/oneOf/$ref, same-document and cross-document) -
no schema-validation dependency existed in this repo, and this only needs to
cover what contracts/cultnet/*.schema.json actually use. CultNetSchemaContractTests
decodes real wire bytes from a live CultNetDatabaseServer (header projection,
document projection, and a hop with edges) through MessagePackSerializer.ConvertToJson
and checks them against the committed schema files, plus three
fieldPredicate-shape tests pinning the values/number exclusivity.

R-N: cultnet.error.v0 gains additive code/details fields (contracts/cultnet).
CultNetErrorMessage grows ForSelectionInvalid/ForCursor/ForReferenceOutsideTarget
factories; both C# servers (CultNetDatabaseServer for snapshot+live,
CultNetDatabaseSubscriptionServer) use them at every existing catch site, plus
two sites that previously let the exception escape uncaught instead of reaching
the peer (CultNetDatabaseServer's v1 subscribe snapshot branch,
CultNetDatabaseSubscriptionServer's Subscribe around CreateProjectedSnapshot).
CultNetSelectionCursorException now carries AsOf/Current for cursor_stale.
R-P: CultNetDatabaseSubscriptionServer.CreateMatchedRecord (the live fast path)
authorized against descriptor.SchemaId; the snapshot path (CreateProjectedSnapshot)
already authorized against the wire id. Both now call the same
CultNetDocumentRegistry.WireSchemaId (made internal, was private) so one id
reaches the authorizer on the snapshot, live and reconcile paths alike.
R-T(a): CultNetSelectionEvaluator.MatchesSchemaKeysFields no longer reads a
Removed change's (always-null) document against Fields - it matches on
keys/schemas alone and treats a field predicate as unknown instead of throwing
TryGetIndexValue(null).
R-T(b): EnsureWithinDeclaredTarget no longer skips the out-of-target check when
TargetType is null; it checks against every registered leaf (unconstrained is a
real, checked target set, not a bypass). CultCache's ResolveReferenceTarget also
now infers the target from a many reference's CultRecordRef<T> element when no
explicit [CultReference(typeof(...))] is declared, which was the one remaining
source of a null TargetType reaching that check on a real, testable path.

Ran CULTNET_WRITE_VECTORS=1 dotnet test tests/GameCult.Networking.Tests -c
Release --filter FullyQualifiedName~WriteSelectionVectors on Yggdrasil
against b1932d9 and committed its output verbatim. 17 vectors total (up from
15): the 4 door-refusal vectors now include
refuses_unmatched_cites_target_schema and
refuses_cites_target_by_hash_shaped_alias.
Per the brief, this is the fix-batch-3 report's parity-vector table baseline.
The C# reader (SelectionVectorsWrittenByRustDecodeAndEvaluateIdenticallyIn
TheReference) now passes all 16 of rs-written.json's vectors, up from 14/16 -
rs-written.json already carried both refusal vectors; only this file and the
door check that makes it agree were missing on the C# side. rs-written.json
itself was not touched (Rust-owned).

Self's ruling, 2026-09-22 ("the C# reference's alias rule is the rule"): an
alias is a schema *name* with a trailing .vN suffix, resolved against the
descriptor's declared name - never against a hash id. C#'s production call
sites (CultNetSelection.cs:438, CultNetSelectionEvaluator.cs:88,340) all use
the descriptor overload of CultNetSchemaAliasMatching.Matches, never the bare
id-vs-id overload.
- Row gains schema_name() (defaults to schema_id() for rows with no separate
name, e.g. raw wire records); RowSet gains schema_name(schema_id) ->
Option<String>. Both stand in for CultDocumentDescriptor.SchemaName, which
this crate has no type for (D7).
- schema_alias::matches/matches_any now take (candidate, schema_id,
schema_name) and resolve a candidate's inferred name against the declared
name, exactly as the C# descriptor overload does - not against schema_id's
own inferred name, which is what the deleted hash-stripping matcher did.
- Every call site (reachable_schemas, the cites.target door check,
matches_schema_keys_fields's D6 fast path, matches_citation) now resolves
and passes a schema's name instead of comparing two schema-id strings.
- Deleted: the hash-stripping schema_alias::matches(candidate, schema_id)
two-string overload. A hash-shaped alias ("<hash>.v1") is not a wire form
either runtime's production rule ever resolves.
Behaviour verified against a standalone run of the exact C# algorithm
(CultNetSchemaAliasMatching, CultNetDatabase.cs:47-97) covering exact-id
match, bare-name match, .vN alias resolution, MatchesAny's empty-matches-all
convention, ordinal case sensitivity, ".v" with no trailing digits, and
multiple ".v" markers (last one wins) - every case is now a Rust unit test
in schema_alias::tests.
Test fixture (tests/selection.rs) updated: the fixture's hashAlias entries
are now a shared negative check (neither runtime resolves them), and the
nameAlias entries now resolve in Rust too, fixing the confirmed cross-runtime
defect (schemas_by_name_alias). Regenerated
contracts/cultnet/interop/selection-vectors.rs-written.json (15 -> 16
vectors): added refuses_cites_target_by_hash_shaped_alias, renamed
hop_by_role_cites_hash_alias to hop_by_role_cites_name_alias.
cultnet-rs: cargo test 223/223. C# reader (rs-written.json): 14/16 - the two
failures are both the pending unmatched-cites.target door refusal
(CultNetSelection.cs:361-391 has no such check yet), not a Rust defect; the
other Hands' C# door fix covers both.

Companion to the C# side's shared-fixture commit. Replaces the
invented fake sha256-shaped LEAF_A/LEAF_B/CITER/LEAF_A_ALIAS consts
with lazily-loaded values read from
contracts/cultnet/interop/selection-vectors.fixture.json (a
std::sync::OnceLock-backed loader; FixtureRowSet's declared_indexes/
declared_roles/is_numeric/target_leaves become runtime string
comparisons instead of const match patterns). NARROW_CITER stays a
local, unshared id - it never appears in a cross-runtime vector.
base_rows() keeps S2-S23's original 7-row set (now sourced from the
fixture's first 7 rows, unchanged in value or order, so every test
that enumerates it - orders_by_ordinal_then_identity_and_reverses,
pages_exactly_once_and_refuses_a_stale_or_mismatched_cursor,
matched_is_the_total_count_not_the_page_count, ... - still holds
unchanged). A new all_fixture_rows() carries all ten rows (the
fix-batch float-tie and astral/BMP rows too) for the two parity-vector
functions only.
write_selection_vectors_for_the_reference gains float_tie_exact_ge,
astral_key_code_point_order, and the fixture's hash alias
(leaf_a_hash_alias(), a synthetic ".v1" this crate's own schema_alias
resolves) and name alias (leaf_a_name_alias(), "leaf_a.v9" - the form
only CultNetSchemaAliasMatching's descriptor overload resolves)
probes, mirroring the C# side. selection_vectors_written_by_the_
reference_decode_and_evaluate_identically_in_rust no longer panics on
the first disagreement (evaluate_vector now returns a Result instead
of .expect()'ing); it collects every vector's mismatch and fails once
with the full list, matching the C# reader's same change.
Regenerates selection-vectors.rs-written.json from the shared fixture.

Reconciles the two Hands' independently-regenerated parity vectors
(Soul's whole-cut pass, F3): the C# fixture used schema *names*
("leaf_a") as literal ids, the Rust fixture used invented fake
sha256-shaped ids - every vector carrying an id failed when read by
the other runtime.
Adds contracts/cultnet/interop/selection-vectors.fixture.json: the one
row set both writers now build from, keyed by each schema's real
SHA-256 content-hash id exactly as CultDocumentRegistry computes it
(dumped via a temporary DumpFixtureSchemaIds run). Carries the rows
either runtime needs - astral/BMP-private-use keys, a float tie,
cites/cited, a cites target reached by alias - plus two DIFFERENT
alias forms, because the two runtimes' alias matchers key off
different descriptor attributes and no single candidate resolves
through both (see the fixture's "//aliases" note and the report).
Rewrites SelectionParityVectorTests.cs to load the fixture instead of
hand-building rows (BuildFixture/BuildExtendedFixture deleted), assert
the fixture's declared schema ids still match what the registry
computes (fails loudly on drift instead of silently comparing wrong
ids), and use the real schema id (not SchemaName) as a row's
cross-runtime identity. Also fixes a real bug this file carried since
before the shared fixture: both the writer and the reader compared
`evaluation.Rows.Count` (the page size) against "matched" instead of
`evaluation.TotalMatched` (the total, per R-G) - selections with a
Limit were writing/checking the wrong number. The reader now collects
every vector's mismatch instead of stopping at the first one, so a
real parity defect is reported in full.
Regenerates selection-vectors.cs-written.json from the shared fixture.

The Rust half of the Cut 1 fix batch (docs/cultnet-selection-cut.md, "Self's
rulings for the Cut 1 fix batch, 2026-09-22"), against packages/cultnet-rs.
- R-B: hop edges now follow the hop's direction - cites keys an edge off its
From (the citer), cited off its To (the citee), each in page-row order
then (from, role, to) code-point order. Before this, both hop kinds keyed
off From, so a cited selection's edges were silently empty unless the
citer also happened to be on the page (Soul's F2). build_incoming_index
iterates the caller's own row slice, never a HashMap, for its own order.
- R-C: code-point order was already Rust's default str::cmp (UTF-8 byte
order); no change needed there.
- R-D: canonical_number::render_f32/render_f64 render the exact IEEE-754
decimal expansion from mantissa and exponent, via a small fixed-point
bignum (~60 lines), replacing the previous shortest-round-trip-form path
that rounded ties differently from .NET. expand_scientific_notation and
its test are gone (R-M); the Display probe test is kept per the map.
- R-E: schema_alias (ported from CultNetSchemaAliasMatching's string
overload) is the one schema-identity rule for `schemas` and
`cites.target.schemaId`; an unmatched cites target is refused at the
door. Found and fixed along the way: matches_schema_keys_fields must not
use schema_alias::matches_any's own "empty candidates matches everything"
shortcut (correct for the door/reachability call sites it mirrors from
C#) - v0's snapshot server calls matches() directly, without validate(),
so an empty-but-present schemas list must still match nothing there too.
- R-F: select() validates first and returns the typed refusal; matches()'s
hop guard is a real assert!, not a debug_assert! a release build would
compile out.
- R-G/P-1: Evaluation and SelectionPage both carry matched, the total match
count, not the page count.
- R-H: Cursor::compute_digest is length-prefixed for every string and list,
closing the collision Soul found (["a|b"] and ["a","b"] used to digest
the same).
- R-I: select_page projects a selection into the wire's SelectionPage -
headers or documents under Selection::projection, matched, and edges; a
header projection carries no payload, in edges too (S20).
Test fixture: real SHA-256-shaped schema ids (sha256:<hex>.v1) replace the
old fixture's schema names doubling as ids, which had silently masked the
R-E gap (vectors passed only because "leaf_a" happened to already be both
the alias and the id).
Two documented discrepancies against the map's own worked numbers, both
verified independently outside this crate (Rust bit decomposition plus a
Node/BigInt cross-check): an f32 of 3e20 is 300000006012263202816, not the
map's 300000002010536247296; 1e-7 as f64 is its own 79-digit exact
expansion, not "0.0000001" (a stale shortest-form assertion this fix batch
did not originally touch).

Regenerated contracts/cultnet/interop/selection-vectors.cs-written.json
under R-B/R-C/R-D/R-E/R-I.
SelectionParityVectorTests.cs: the six original cases' fixture
(BuildFixture) is left untouched, because SelectionVectorsWrittenByRustDecodeAndEvaluateIdenticallyInTheReference
reads the already-committed selection-vectors.rs-written.json against
it, and a new row reachable by an unfiltered or loosely-filtered case
(descending_with_limit, gt_numeric_boundary) would silently change that
case's expected page. The fix-batch rows and cases live in a new
BuildExtendedFixture/Cases set, additive over BuildFixture, used only
by WriteSelectionVectors:
- float_tie_exact_ge: a row at 2233759.25f, on the round-to-even tie
R-D's exact BigInteger rendering fixes (its canonical decimal is
"2233759.25" regardless of which shortest form a runtime's ToString
would have picked).
- cites_target_by_alias: cites.target.schemaId given as "leaf_a"
(ParityLeafA's SchemaName) against a-eq's real content-hash SchemaId,
exercising R-E's alias-matched cites (the pre-fix code required an
exact SchemaId match and this always missed).
- astral_key_code_point_order: two rows sharing one ordinal, keyed by
a BMP private-use character (U+E000) and an astral character
(U+1F602, surrogate pair 😂), pinning R-C's code-point
tiebreak order.
- header_projection/document_projection: the same hop-bearing match set
under each projection.
Known-expected failure: SelectionVectorsWrittenByRustDecodeAndEvaluateIdenticallyInTheReference
fails against the currently-committed selection-vectors.rs-written.json
(incoming_exists_true's edge count) because that file predates R-B and
was not touched here - the parallel Rust Hands owns it. Re-run once it
regenerates.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- cultnet.selection.schema.json: schemas/keys gain minItems: 1 (present
and empty is refused at the door, never "every schema/key" - omit the
field instead); limit documents that it is clamped 1..=200 by the
answering server rather than refused outside that range.
- cultnet_py/interop_peer.py: handle_server_message refused only an
exact ".v1" suffix, so a v2+ selection message fell through to a
silent empty-list answer instead of a loud refusal. is_unsupported_cultnet_version
matches any cultnet.*.vN with N > 0 instead. test_cultnet.py's R-2
test now covers v2 and v10, not only v1.
- mutate-dotnet.ps1: an entry's File (from -Entries, often written with
"/") is looked up against the $targets dictionary keyed by -Target's
own spelling; a "\\" vs "/" mismatch didn't throw at the lookup -
$targets[$file] silently returned $null - so the crash surfaced one
call later as a null-argument error inside a .NET path API instead of
as "unknown target". Both -Target and every File read from an entry
now normalise through Normalize-TargetPath before indexing $targets.
Discrepancy: the ruling names "both R-2 sites" for the Python fix; only
one site with this exact narrow-match bug exists in packages/cultnet-py
and packages/cultmesh-py (cultmesh_py/server.py's handle_message already
refuses every unrecognised schemaVersion, v1+ included, through its own
default branch). Fixed the one that exists; did not invent a second.

Two things landed on this branch while commit 3 was in flight, both addressed
here rather than left for the vectors to paper over:
**Self's ruling, 2026-09-22 (commit 2 fix batch, 568e8e3/021e3f1): empty
lists, blank entries, and v0's own cleaning.** Rust already refused an empty
schemas/keys list (inherited from before the ruling); it now also matches
the reference's three further decisions exactly, not just in spirit:
- The door's refusal field is the plain list name ("schemas"/"keys"), not an
indexed "schemas[i]" - selection::validate's SelectionInvalid.field now
matches CultNetSelectionInvalidException("schemas", schema, ...) literally,
because the parity vectors compare this string across runtimes.
- snapshot_query.rs's lower_v0_list now deduplicates a mixed list the same
way CultNetV0SelectionLowering.Lower does (Distinct(StringComparer.Ordinal)
- order-preserving, first occurrence wins), not just blank-filters it.
A new test (serve_read_only_raw_snapshot_lowers_an_empty_or_blank_v0_schema_list_to_no_filter,
extended) pins the dedup case directly.
- Two mutation entries (RS-EmptySchemas-Revert, RS-EmptyKeys-Revert) added
for the door's original empty-list refusal, which had tests but no
mutation coverage before this commit.
**S12: the two-way parity vectors**, contracts/cultnet/interop/selection-vectors.{cs,rs}-written.json,
eight vectors each: the six evaluated selections from commit 3 (any_of+ge
conjunction, descending+limit, gt boundary, cited exists true/false, three
rows sharing one index value) plus two door-refusal vectors added for this
ruling - `refuses_empty_schemas_list` (schemas: []) and `refuses_blank_key_entry`
(keys: ["a-eq", " "]) - which decode their selection bytes and assert
`validate`/`Validate` refuses at exactly the named field, never evaluating.
The blank-key vector could not be generated before this commit: the door
rule it exercises did not exist in the reference until 568e8e3 landed.
`cites`-based hop vectors are deliberately absent (documented in both test
files): MatchesCitation compares Citation.Target.SchemaId against the
reference's real SHA-256 schema id exactly, with no SchemaName fallback,
and this fixture pair has no way to agree on that hash across runtimes;
`cited` (role/existence, matched by record key alone) is the hop direction
both sides can cross-check, so incoming_exists_true/incoming_negation carry
that coverage instead. Both reader tests pass:
SelectionVectorsWrittenByRustDecodeAndEvaluateIdenticallyInTheReference (C#)
and selection_vectors_written_by_the_reference_decode_and_evaluate_identically_in_rust
(Rust), each judging the other runtime's file.
**The remaining mutation matrix.** Of the coordinator's named set (S1, S2,
S6, S9-S15, S17, S20, S23): S1 was already covered (RS-EmptySchemas/Keys,
RS-BlankSchema/Key); S2 (any_of matches membership, RS-S2-Revert) and S6
(cites.role filters the hop, RS-S6-Revert) are newly covered - S6 needed a
new fixture (cites_role_excludes_a_second_reference_at_the_same_target)
because base_rows()'s citer-1 only ever carries one reference, so a mutant
dropping the role filter had nothing else to wrongly match and survived
against the original hops_one_edge_by_declared_role test; that finding is
recorded in-line as a comment, not silently swapped for an easier mutant.
S9-S15 (subscription reconcile, v0-lowering-of-subscribe) do not apply:
D7 - no Rust caller subscribes in this cut, so there is no subscription
client to mutate. S17 (inherited alias reaches every leaf) does not apply
either: Rust's toy Row/RowSet has no inheritance to begin with - both
leaves in the fixture declare "mass" independently, which is the Rust
spelling of the same guarantee, already exercised throughout the suite
without a dedicated mutant (there is no shared base-type discovery path to
revert). S20 (edges only for a hopping selection) was investigated and
found structurally vacuous in Rust as built: `edges` is only ever populated
inside the cites/cited branches, so a mutant on the has_hop() gate cannot
produce a different observable result for a non-hopping selection - no
entry added; a real gap would need the evaluator's structure to change
first. S23 (matches every row sharing an index value, never a cache's
unique-index winner) has no revertable bug surface: Rust's Row/RowSet
never had a unique-index map to begin with (D7), so this is pinned by
construction, not by a mutation-testable rule; matches_every_row_sharing_an_index_value
still exists as a positive test naming it.
**A pre-existing, unrelated flaky test, found and worked around, not
fixed.** tests/cultnet.rs's reactive_document_coalesces_direct_same_schema_alias_member_writes
fails consistently when the mutation harness runs the full tests/cultnet.rs
binary (both default-parallel and RUST_TEST_THREADS=1), but passes 5/5 in
isolation and passes in a plain `cargo test -p cultnet-rs` run - state
pollution from another test in that binary under the harness's specific
invocation path, not a race this campaign's code participates in (nothing
here touches reactive_document machinery). RS-V0Lowering-Revert's Command
is narrowed to `cargo test --test cultnet serve_read_only_raw_snapshot`
(filtering both M0 and the entry's own run to this campaign's test) so the
suite does not depend on that unrelated test's health; the flake itself is
reported here as a finding, not patched.
Tests: cultnet-rs 174 passed, 0 failed (default parallel run).
GameCult.Networking.Tests 196 passed, 1 skipped (WriteSelectionVectors,
env-gated), 0 failed.
Mutation harness: 24 entries (was 22 in commit 3; +RS-S2-Revert, +RS-S6-Revert;
RS-BlankSchema/BlankKey and RS-V0Lowering-Revert's anchors and field-name
assertions updated to match the landed fix batch's exact spelling), all
KILLED, M0 green.
Negative grep: `rg -n "untagged" packages/cultnet-rs/src packages/cultcache-rs/src` empty.

Corrects commit 1's Number field: docs/cultnet-selection-cut.md section 2
"Numbers" (added 2026-09-22, superseding the map's own stale float64 text)
specifies canonical decimal strings per the operator's Q-J ruling, and
commits 0/1 shipped double instead - the Rust Hands caught the conflict
before writing a line and stopped; this is the correction the map's
Progress block calls for before Rust starts.
- CultNetFieldPredicate.Number: double? -> string?. New CultNetCanonicalNumber
(CultNetSelection.cs) is the wire's canonical grammar and comparator:
IsCanonical validates ^-?(0|[1-9][0-9]*)(\.[0-9]*[1-9])?$ and excludes "-0"
(the regex alone matches it); Compare orders by sign, then the integer
part's length, then its digits, then the fraction padded on the right to
equal length - a pure string function, no double anywhere on the path.
ValidateField refuses a non-canonical number at the door
(selection_invalid) rather than normalising it.
- CultNetSelectionEvaluator.CompareNumber now takes two canonical strings and
switches on CultNetCanonicalNumber.Compare's sign instead of comparing
doubles directly.
- CultCache.cs: CultDocumentDescriptor.TryGetIndexNumber and
PersistedMember.NumberOf render a member's exact canonical decimal instead
of a double. An integer renders exact (no 2^53 limit); decimal strips
trailing fractional zeros; float/double use .NET's shortest round-trip
ToString(), rewritten out of exponent notation to positional digits
(ExpandScientificNotation) before the shared CanonicalizeDecimalDigits
strips zeros and collapses a negative-zero result to "0"; NaN and infinity
render null (TryGetIndexNumber returns false, matching "matches no
comparison").
- contracts/cultnet/cultnet.selection.schema.json: "number" is now a string
with the canonical pattern (a defence-in-depth (?!-0$) lookahead beyond
what the door enforces in code), not a JSON number.
- Tests: CultNetCanonicalNumberTests (new) pins IsCanonical/Compare directly,
including the door's five named non-canonical spellings, magnitude vs.
lexicographic ordering, sign, integer-part length, and a long past 2^53
against its float64 rounding. CultNetSelectionEvaluatorTests gains
ValidationRefusesNonCanonicalNumberSpellings (+1, 1.0, 01, 1e3, -0) and its
existing Number literals become canonical strings.
CultDocumentSelectionSurfaceTests gains a dedicated FixtureLeafNumbers
fixture and four tests: the 2^53+1 long rendering exactly, a decimal's
trailing zeros stripped, a double's exponent notation rewritten to
positional digits (1e21, 1e-7), and NaN/Infinity answering false.
Mutation entries (scripts/mutate-dotnet.ps1): four new Caching entries
(integer-through-float64, decimal trailing zeros, exponent expansion,
NaN/Infinity) and five new Networking entries (the door's regex, the door's
explicit "-0" exclusion, the comparator's integer-length check, a
lexicographic-whole-string mutant, and the comparator's sign check) - all
KILLED. The two pre-existing S16 (le/ge boundary) entries had to be
re-anchored: their Old text quoted CompareNumber's previous double-based
`left <= right`/`left >= right` spelling, which no longer exists now that
CompareNumber switches on Compare's int result: `cmp <= 0`/`cmp >= 0`.
Verification: dotnet test - GameCult.Networking.Tests 192/192 (was 183 before
these additions), GameCult.Caching.Tests 192/192 (was 188), GameCult.Mesh.Tests
252/253 (one pre-existing unrelated skip, unaffected by this commit - no Mesh
source touched). Caching mutation run: 10/10 KILLED (6 pre-existing + 4 new),
M0 and final both green. Networking mutation run: 15/15 KILLED (10
pre-existing + 5 new, across CultNetSelectionEvaluator.cs, CultNetDatabase.cs
and CultNetSelection.cs), M0 and final both green.

docs/cultnet-selection-cut.md section 2/4/6/7/8: CultNetSelection (schemas,
keys, fields, cites, cited, projection, descending, limit, cursor) with its
door validation (S1), and CultNetSelectionEvaluator: the single-row Matches
fast path (D6) and the full Select (order, hop, cursor, paging). Neither
reflects over a document; both read only through the cache's public surface
(commit 0).
Three v1 messages beside v0 (cultnet.snapshot_request.v1,
cultnet.database_subscribe.v1, cultnet.snapshot_response_raw.v1), their
schema files under contracts/cultnet, registry entries and dispatch arms.
CultNetSchemaAliasMatching goes internal -> public (D4), the one alias
matcher. CultNetDatabase gains LastWriteSequence(schemaId, key), confirmed
at the one append site (AppendMutationLogEntry) that every committed write
takes a shard-log sequence, including a local PutAsync outside any shard.
Three engines deleted, one evaluator wired in their place:
- CultNetDocumentRegistry: CreateRawSnapshotResponse's reflection loop over
cache.AllEntries and MatchesRequestedSchema gone; cache.AllStoredDocuments
replaces the reflection entirely. v0 lowers into a Selection and walks the
evaluator's own pages so a v0 caller still sees its whole matching set
(D3: v0 has no engine of its own). CreateSelectionResponse/SelectPage/
ToRawRecord/CreateSnapshotRequestV1 added.
- CultNetDatabaseServer: CreateChangeMessage/CreateRawDocumentRecord/Matches/
MatchesSchema/InferSchemaName (122 lines) deleted; CreateSubscription lowers
v0 into a Selection and matches through the evaluator.
- CultNetDatabaseSubscriptionServer: CreateAuthorizedChange/CreateChange/
CreateChangeCore/ResolveWireSchemaId/MatchesRequestedSchema/CreateRawRecord
(92 lines) deleted, replaced by CreateMatchedRecord. _projectRecord and
CreateProjectedSnapshot's collapse are commit 2's, per the map's own
deletion line, and are untouched here.
Discrepancy found and fixed (not in the map): CultNetDocumentBinding can
carry a schema id different from its descriptor's own
(CultNetDocumentBinding.ForDocument's schemaId override), which the old
per-engine matchers checked and a descriptor-only evaluator cannot see by
design (it stays decoupled from CultNetDocumentRegistry). Fixed at the two
call sites and in CultNetDocumentRegistry.SelectPage by resolving the
binding's schema id into the effective selection before evaluation
(CultNetSchemaAliasMatching.WithBindingSchemaAlias,
CultNetDocumentRegistry.ExpandSchemaBindingAliases), not in the evaluator.
Found by DatabaseSubscription_FiltersLiveChangesByWireSchemaBinding timing
out; both call sites now pass.
Second discrepancy, reported not fixed: CultNetDatabase.cs:1707 has a fourth,
undocumented copy of schema-matching logic (MatchesRequestedSchema, private,
serving CreateShardSnapshotResponse), which the map's section 1 audit did not
name among "three separate selector engines". Left untouched this commit:
it is out of the map's explicit deletes list and touching it risks shard
snapshot behavior with no budgeted verification.
Verification: dotnet test tests/GameCult.Networking.Tests - 162 passed (150
existing + 12 new), 0 failed; the seven map-named tests all still pass, two
rewritten for the new signatures (CreateChangeMessage now takes
CultNetSelection; CreateChange/CreateAuthorizedChange collapsed into
CreateMatchedRecord, returning CultNetRawDocumentRecord? directly).
tests/GameCult.Mesh.Tests - 252 passed, 1 pre-existing skip, 0 failed (no
Mesh source touched this commit). tests/GameCult.Caching.Tests - unaffected
(188, unchanged from commit 0).
Negative greps: GetProperty|GetField|GetCustomAttribute in
GameCult.Networking - only against the generic `object change` dispatch
(CultNetDatabaseChange<T>) and CultRecordHandle<T> construction, pre-existing
and out of this cut's scope, never against a document's declared values.
_projectRecord survives in CultNetDatabaseSubscriptionServer.cs (expected,
commit 2). CultNetSchemaAliasMatching is the only schema matcher outside the
one reported discrepancy.
scripts/mutate-dotnet.ps1: the caching mutation runner generalized into a
shared dotnet/NUnit harness (Target/TestProject/Entries/ControlFilter),
replacing scripts/mutate-cultnet-selection-caching.ps1 with an entries file
of the same six mutations (re-verified: all six still KILL). It is now
generic to any NUnit project in this repo, not only this campaign's two
targets - a candidate to sit beside tools/eureka-mutations.ps1 as the
dotnet-side counterpart. Nine new networking entries (S3, S5 x2, S7 x2,
S16 x2, S18) all KILLED. Not yet mutation-run: S1, S2, S6, S23 (pinned by
tests, not by a committed mutant); S9-S15 (subscription reconcile lowering,
v0 no-engine-of-its-own); S17, S20 (pinned by tests only). S19/S21/S22 are
cache-layer, covered in commit 0.

REC-032 commit 1: move the canonical 33 TS + witness-artifact-bundle
schema files (34 total) into runtime-neutral CultLib/contracts/cultnet,
move the interop-note schema (and delete the zero-consumer discovery-*
schemas per D3, tagged parked/cultnet-discovery-contracts) into
contracts/cultnet/interop, and delete the 27 C# and 24 Rust duplicate
copies after confirming byte-for-byte equivalence (only
cultnet.snapshot-request differs: TS carries shardId/shardEpoch, a
known drift already resolved in favor of the TS shape).
Rewrite every $id from https://github.com/GameCult/cultnet-ts/contracts/
and .../cultnet-ts/integration/contracts/ to
https://github.com/GameCult/CultLib/contracts/cultnet/(interop/); give
the two shard-catalog schemas URL ids per D1, replacing the bare
cultnet.shard_catalog_*.v0 identifiers; leave ghostlight.agent-state's
Ghostlight-owned $id untouched per D5.
Repoint every runtime's load path and id literal at the new location:
C# csproj EmbeddedResource + LogicalName, Rust include_str! paths,
TS contracts.ts imports + swarm-contracts manifest/tooling + package.json
files/prepack, and the id/path literals in the C#, Rust, Python and
Kotlin interop tests and peers. Python and Kotlin still build their own
schema JSON in-process (D2); only their base constants, id literals,
and (for Kotlin) contentHash literals were swapped. Every Kotlin
contentHash was recomputed from the final canonical files using the
runtime's own stable-stringify + SHA-256 function; all matched the
planner's precomputed values except cultnet.schema-catalog-response,
where the planner's proposed value did not match recomputation and the
freshly computed value was used instead.
REC-032, decisions D1/D2/D3/D5.
