RS4A-PATCH2-05 — Authoritative Test Registry and Count — 2026-06-21

Macro: RS4A-PATCH2 · Mục tiêu D (registry) + E (residual tests) (closes Codex re-review residual R4 ID collisions / T-P6-3 count and R5 missing residual tests) Deliverable: 05 of 6 (under rs4a-patch2/) · design-only · criteria, NOT executed (no test run, no validator PASS) Supersedes: all PATCH1 T-PX-* IDs (they collided across PATCH1-03/04/07). Does NOT overwrite PATCH1/RS4A; the baseline 97 is unchanged in origin. Gate: REGISTRATION_HOLD · REGISTRATION_CAN_PROCEED = NO Status: TEST_REGISTRY_AUTHORITATIVE_111 — one row per semantic case, globally unique IDs under PX2-*; deterministic augmented total = 111.


0. The residual defects this file closes (Codex re-review §9 / §12.4 / §12.5)

R4 — ID collisions + T-P6-3 count. Codex found the same T-PX-* ID meaning different things across PATCH1 docs, and the repaired T-P6-3a/b left "kept as two" without a count rule:

ID PATCH1-03/04 meaning PATCH1-07 meaning
T-PX-4 Phase-4 readback confirms draft, no notify same effect, different run_id
T-PX-5 reject envelope fields as nonexistent dot_tools columns fresh approval instance, same effect
T-PX-6 reject envelope in extra_metadata fresh nonce, duplicate effect

PATCH1-07 also merged the two carrier cases into T-PX-8, while PATCH1-04 kept them as T-PX-5/T-PX-6. Codex: "PATCH2 must publish one authoritative test registry with unique IDs and one row per counted semantic case, then recompute the augmented total."

R5 — missing residual tests. Codex requires explicit cases for (1) changed owner/policy ⇒ same U1 effect (authority revalidated, no new registration) and (2) two draft registrations for the same code rejected before commit.


1. Authoritative count rule (deterministic)

1.1 Baseline (Codex-confirmed, unchanged in origin)

Carried (RS3C-10 / RS3B-09, IDs 1–50)                         = 50
RS4A-11 reconciled T-series (P0 9 + P1 6 + P2 8 + P3 8
   + P4 5 + P5 4 + P6 4 + SRC 3)                              = 47
Baseline RS4A reconciled suite                                = 97   (Codex-confirmed)

1.2 T-P6-3 count decision (closes R4 ambiguity)

Decision: T-P6-3a and T-P6-3b are TWO distinct semantic cases. One exercises consumer event handling (an independently-injected context_pack_event); the other exercises active-update outside the registration path (a Phase-6 activation UPDATE). They are different behaviors and cannot share one slot.

The baseline 97 reserved exactly one slot for the original T-P6-3 (the malformed case PATCH1 repaired). PATCH2 re-homes both repaired forms into the authoritative PX2 registry (as PX2-013 and PX2-014) and supersedes the single baseline T-P6-3 slot. Net effect on the count: the one superseded baseline slot is removed (−1) and the two re-homed forms enter via PX2 (+2 inside PX2), a net +1 distinct case versus the baseline — accounted explicitly below so nothing is double-counted.

1.3 PATCH1 T-PX-* supersession (closes R4 collisions)

The 8 PATCH1 T-PX-1..8 cases are superseded by the PX2 registry. Their collisions are resolved by splitting each ambiguous ID into its distinct semantics, so 8 ambiguous IDs expand to 10 distinct cases (PX2-001..010). The PATCH1 "+8 ⇒ 105 augmented" figure is therefore superseded by this PATCH2 registry.

1.4 Authoritative augmented total

Carried (1–50)                                                = 50
RS4A-11 T-series                                              = 47
  less: T-P6-3 (single baseline slot) superseded → PX2-013/14 = −1
RS4A-11 T-series net retained                                 = 46
PATCH2 authoritative registry PX2-001..015 (incl. 2 re-homed
  T-P6-3 forms PX2-013/014)                                   = 15
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Augmented authoritative total                                = 111   (50 + 46 + 15)

= 111. Exact, deterministic, no reused IDs, no double-count. (The illustrative 14/111 in the brief lands on the same 111; this registry reaches 111 with 15 PX2 cases because the superseded baseline T-P6-3 slot is removed — see §1.2 — and one extra explicit success-path-no-audit case (PX2-015) is added for C8/R3. Nothing is forced.)


2. Authoritative PATCH2 test registry (PX2-*) — one row per semantic case

ID Slug Input / state Expected Layer Closes Supersedes
PX2-001 draft-inert-status-write registrar writes status='draft' for a watch-tier (A/B) row ACCEPT as inert; no context_pack_event; post-commit readback confirms status='draft' R/SN C2 T-PX-1
PX2-002 reject-active-at-registration registrar attempts status='active' (source D05 behavior) ACTIVATION_AT_REGISTRATION (reject) R C2 T-PX-2
PX2-003 status-domain-not-db-enforced non-vocabulary status (e.g. published/arbitrary) written at registration (no DB CHECK exists) HOLD STATUS_DOMAIN_NOT_DB_ENFORCED until a governed status CHECK exists R/SCHEMA C2 T-PX-3
PX2-004 phase4-readback-draft-no-notify Phase-4 verifier reads back the committed row PASS only if status='draft' and notify-not-emitted (no other precondition) R C2/C7 T-PX-4 (PATCH1-03 sense)
PX2-005 same-effect-different-run-id same effect presented with a different run_id same effect_identity ⇒ exact-retry returns prior decision (run_id non-keying) R C1 T-PX-4 (PATCH1-07 sense)

PX2-007 same-effect-fresh-nonce duplicate effect presented with a fresh authorization_nonce REPLAY_DUPLICATE (nonce non-identity) R C1/C5 T-PX-6 (PATCH1-07 sense)
PX2-008 uniqueness-axes-u1-u2-u3-u4-separated exercise each axis: U1 effect, U2 nonce, U3 current-head, U4 artifact each enforced separately; U1≠U2≠U3≠U4 (no conflation); all REQUIRED_NOT_PRESENT today ⇒ fail-closed R/SCHEMA C3 T-PX-7

PX2-012 duplicate-draft-head-rejected two draft registrations for the same canonical_target_dot_code (different artifacts) before commit rejected by U3/head policy (DRAFT_HEAD_ALREADY_EXISTS/DUPLICATE_CURRENT_HEAD) before commit; or HEAD_POLICY_UNRESOLVED fail-closed if U3 surface absent R/SCHEMA R2 (new)
PX2-013 injected-context-pack-event-consumer-test a context_pack_event is independently injected/observed (not produced by a registration insert); consumer body exercised consumer effect FAIL_CLOSED/unproven until the consumer body is read (G7-consumer) R C11 T-P6-3a (re-homed)
PX2-014 active-update-outside-registration-test a watch-tier row is set status='active' via an activation UPDATE explicitly outside the registration path (Phase 6) notify fires correctly on AFTER … UPDATE OF status; registration path remains fail-closed/inert; this is not a registration success path R C11 T-P6-3b (re-homed)
PX2-015 phase4-success-verifier-no-audit-required Phase-4 success verifier runs with one draft head + metadata-match + no-notify + resolved verifier-ref + readback, no audit present PASS (success requires no failure_audit_envelope and no success audit) R C8/R3

15 authoritative cases. No ID denotes two semantics; every prior collision is split (PX2-004/005 from T-PX-4; PX2-006/007 from T-PX-5/6 PATCH1-07; PX2-009/010 from T-PX-5/6 PATCH1-04 ≡ T-PX-8).


3. Coverage map (references PATCH2 IDs only)

Codex residual / RS4A category Authoritative PX2 case(s) Plus baseline carrier
R1 — authority not in U1; changed-authority same-effect PX2-005, PX2-006, PX2-007, PX2-011
R2 — duplicate draft head PX2-012
R3 — Phase-4 success needs no audit PX2-015 failure path: baseline T-P5-1
R4 — inert state / readback PX2-001, PX2-002, PX2-003, PX2-004
R4 — axis separation PX2-008
R4 — carrier boundary PX2-009, PX2-010
R4/R5 — T-P6-3 split (consumer / active-update) PX2-013, PX2-014 supersedes baseline T-P6-3

All 13 mandatory RS4A-11 §3 coverage categories remain covered by the baseline (50 + 46) plus the 15 PX2 cases. No execution, no PASS claimed.


4. Final counts (transparent, no silent truncation)

Bucket Count
Carried (RS3C-10 / RS3B-09, IDs 1–50) 50
RS4A-11 reconciled T-series 47
less: baseline T-P6-3 superseded by PX2-013/PX2-014 −1
RS4A-11 T-series net retained 46
PATCH2 authoritative registry (PX2-001..015) 15
Augmented authoritative total 111

Superseded figures (retained for lineage, not re-counted): RS4A-11's 42/92; PATCH1's 97 baseline + 8 ⇒ 105 augmented. The controlling baseline remains 97; the controlling augmented total is 111.

5. Status

  • TEST_REGISTRY_AUTHORITATIVE_111 — 15 PX2 cases, globally unique IDs, one semantic per ID; all T-PX-* superseded; T-P6-3a/b = two cases (re-homed PX2-013/014).
  • Added residual tests: PX2-011 (changed-authority/same-effect), PX2-012 (duplicate draft head), PX2-015 (Phase-4 success no audit).
  • Baseline 97 (unchanged origin) · augmented 111 (deterministic). ACCEPTANCE_SUITE_DESIGNED_NOT_EXECUTED. Gate REGISTRATION_HOLD · CAN_PROCEED = NO.
