pingqiu 9b6e103dde G5-5C mini-plan v0.4.3 → v0.4.4: engine/runtime/master split + 6 boundary rules in scope, 3 forward-carry, audit gate
Architect framing 2026-04-27: enumerate ten protocol boundary rules
and address engine-evolution question.

Engine vs primary runtime vs master split:
- Engine owns: recovery FSM, single in-flight per peer,
  generation/epoch fence, probe→decision, backoff/cooldown policy,
  stale-ack-cannot-promote-health rule, recovery reason / projection
- Primary runtime/adapter owns: timer / degraded-peer loop, transport
  probe execution, feeding probe result into engine, executing
  engine-emitted commands, ReplicationVolume / ReplicaPeer connection
  lifecycle
- Master owns: identity / topology / assignment / health observation
  ONLY. No runtime recovery. No epoch bumps for short up/down.

Six in-scope boundary rules (#1, #2, #3, #4, #7, #8):
- #1 Admitted Peer Rule — already INV-G5-5C-PRIMARY-RECOVERY-AUTHORITY-BOUNDED
- #2 Generation Fence — NEW INV-G5-5C-GENERATION-FENCE
- #3 Single In-Flight Per Peer — NEW INV-G5-5C-SINGLE-INFLIGHT-PER-PEER
- #4 Probe Before Catch-Up — NEW INV-G5-5C-PROBE-BEFORE-CATCHUP
- #7 Backoff/Cooldown — NEW INV-G5-5C-RECOVERY-BACKOFF (extends v0.4
  fixed-5s into 5s→10s→20s→40s→60s cap, reset on success)
- #8 Stale Ack Guard — NEW INV-G5-5C-STALE-ACK-NO-HEALTH-PROMOTION
  (cross-refs G5-5 round-14 gate-degraded artifact)

Three forward-carries OUT of G5-5C (per §5):
- #5 Durability Mode Explicit → G5-2 / G5-6
- #6 RF Health Reporting Separate From Recovery → future master
  observability batch
- #10 Status Surface (recovery reason, effective RF, last probe) →
  G5-3 metrics/backpressure

One citation (#9 Replica-side lineage check): already enforced by T4
acceptMutationLineage gate; G5-5C cites, no new code.

§1.H code-start audit gate: sw audits per-INV current owner location
BEFORE writing any code. Halt-condition: if recovery FSM is embedded
in ReplicationVolume, fence is re-derived per call site, in-flight is
implicit, or stale-ack guard is missing — sw stops and re-scopes as
engine-evolution batch instead of layering ifs in core/replication/.
Audit findings published as commit note pre-code; PR includes
audit-summary.

§2 acceptance criteria: add #13 (stale-ack guard), #14 (backoff
progression), #15 (code-start audit). Acceptance count now 15
covering 7 INVs (6 new + reconnect orthogonality from v0.4.3).

Standing by for architect single-sign of v0.4.4.

V2 Design

This directory currently contains both the active V2 design canon and a large set of working notes, migration packs, and historical comparison material.

Use this README as the navigation layer. If a document is not listed under Core Canon, treat it as supporting or historical context rather than the current source of truth.

Core Canon

These are the documents that define the current V2 model and should be read first.

  • v2-protocol-truths.md — the stable semantic rules
  • v2-sync-recovery-protocol.md — sync, keepup, catchup, and rebuild protocol meaning
  • v2-rebuild-mvp-session-protocol.md — rebuild session contract and data/control lanes
  • v2-automata-ownership-map.md — assignment, session, and projection ownership
  • v2-protocol-claim-and-evidence.md — claims and current proof posture
  • v2-validation-matrix.md — Rebuild Ready, Restore Ready, and V2 Ready gates
  • v2-capability-map.md — capability-to-proof-tier mapping
  • v2-proof-and-retest-pyramid.md — proof layering and retest strategy

Implementation Guides

These help maintainers understand how the current model maps into code.

  • v2-engine-maintainer-tutorial.md
  • v2-protocol-aware-execution.md
  • v2-session-protocol-shape.md
  • v2-two-loop-protocol.md
  • v2-assignment-translation-unification.md
  • v2-reuse-replacement-boundary.md

Validation And Rollout

These define how the active design is validated, staged, or operationalized.

  • v2-validation-matrix.md
  • v2-acceptance-criteria.md
  • v2-product-completion-overview.md
  • v2-first-launch-supported-matrix.md
  • v2-legacy-runtime-exit-criteria.md
  • v2-controlled-rollout-review.md
  • v2-bounded-internal-pilot-pack.md
  • v2-pilot-preflight-checklist.md
  • v2-pilot-stop-conditions.md

Working Reference

These are still useful, but they are not the shortest route to the current truth.

  • v2-open-questions.md
  • v2-phase-development-plan.md
  • v2-execution-muscles-inventory.md
  • v2-scenario-sources-from-v1.md
  • v2_scenarios.md
  • v1-v15-v2-comparison.md
  • v2-algorithm-overview.md
  • v2-algorithm-overview.zh.md
  • v2-detailed-algorithm.zh.md
  • v2-semantic-methodology.zh.md
  • v2-protocol-closure-map.zh.md

Migration And Historical Working Set

These files are mostly valuable for reconstruction of design history, migration intent, or earlier prototype shapes. They should usually not be the first docs opened during current development.

  • v2-first-migration-batch.md
  • v2-first-migration-task-pack.md
  • v2-second-migration-batch.md
  • v2-second-migration-task-pack.md
  • v2-third-migration-batch.md
  • v2-third-migration-task-pack.md
  • v2-phase14plus-semantic-framework.md
  • v2-pure-runtime-rf1-bootstrap.md
  • v2-volumev2-single-node-mvp.md
  • v2-loop1-surface-draft.md
  • v2-rf2-runtime-bounded-envelope.md
  • v2-rf2-runtime-bounded-envelope-review.md
  • v2-separation-port-layer-audit.md
  • v2_mini_core_design.md
  • wal-replication-v2.md
  • wal-replication-v2-state-machine.md
  • wal-replication-v2-orchestrator.md
  • wal-v2-tiny-prototype.md
  • wal-v1-to-v2-mapping.md
  • v2-dist-fsm.md
  • v1-v15-v2-simulator-goals.md
  • protocol-version-simulation.md

Process

  • protocol-development-process.md
  • agent_dev_process.md

Cleanup Rule

When a document is superseded, prefer:

  1. keeping one canonical file in Core Canon
  2. leaving older reasoning in Migration And Historical Working Set
  3. avoiding duplicate "read first" lists across many files

Future cleanup should physically move or archive files only after their inbound references are reviewed.

Execution Note

  • active development tracking lives under ../.private/phase/
  • current phase contract and slice packages live there rather than in this directory

The original project-level copies under learn/projects/sw-block/design/ remain as shared references for now.
