v7's canonical integer byte-order was confirmed little-endian by
inspecting merkle-agi-dag_v7.txt §A1 — every to_bytes / astype in the
TLV encoding is little-endian (TLV length prefixes to_bytes(4,'little'),
enc_int to_bytes(8,'little'), quantized tensors '<i8'); no big-endian
anywhere. Per dav1d's 2026-05-11 review rule ("if v7 TLV canonical
integer encoding is little-endian, flip §3.4 to little-endian before
KAT freeze"), flip done — this is the -le variant.
Implementation (arborist/substrate/anchor_prg.py):
- PHI_PRG_VERSION → "phi-prg-v1-hmac-sha512-le" (still "v1";
the -le suffix records the endianness; future re-flip MUST bump).
- _expand: counter.to_bytes(4, 'big') → 'little'.
- _bytes_to_floats: int.from_bytes(..., 'big') → 'little' (the
uint32-word interpretation, for full consistency with v7).
- Module + function docstrings updated: little-endian throughout,
with the merkle-agi-dag_v7.txt §A1 verification note.
- Note: at counter=0 the bytes are identical regardless of
endianness, so 5 of the 10 KAT entries (dim_h ≤ 16, single block)
keep the same output_sha256; the 5 multi-block entries (dim_h 17/
32/64×3/4096) change.
KAT fixture (bench/fixtures/phi-prg/known-answer-tests.jsonl):
- Regenerated under the little-endian counter. Each entry now also
carries a "version" field (phi-prg-v1-hmac-sha512-le). Header
comment updated.
Tests (tests/test_anchor_prg.py, 30 → 31):
- test_module_exports_version_string: assert the -le suffix.
- test_bytes_to_floats_midpoint_maps_to_zero: 2^31 is b'\x00\x00\x00\x80'
in little-endian, not b'\x80\x00\x00\x00'.
- New test_bytes_to_floats_reads_little_endian: pins the byte-order
so an accidental re-flip is caught.
- test_phi_prg_first_block_matches_direct_hmac: uint32-word reads
little-endian (counter=0 bytes unchanged either way).
- test_phi_prg_known_answer_tests: assert kat['version'] == module
version when present.
Spec text (#000035 §3.4): folded the little-endian variant of
dav1d's §9.10 wording — counter_le32, uint32_le word reads, an
"all integers little-endian, matching v7 TLV §A1" preamble, and an
"Endianness — RESOLVED 2026-05-11" note replacing the open
big-vs-little question. soft-hash-channel-analysis.md §9.2/§11 +
#000035 status + TICKETS.md row updated. AUTOCOUNT for
test_anchor_prg.py bumped 30 → 31; PHI_PRG_VERSION refs in docs
bumped to -le.
Full suite: 2312 passed, 28 skipped.

# Arborist tickets — index
|
||
|
||
Arborist uses a flat `ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md` convention for actionable
|
||
proposals: defects with a known root cause, design proposals awaiting
|
||
go/no-go, or scoped enhancements queued for future implementation.
|
||
|
||
## Convention
|
||
|
||
- **Filename:** `docs/tickets/ticket-NNNNNN-<slug>.md`. The ID is a six-digit
|
||
zero-padded integer; the slug is hyphen-lowercase and short enough
|
||
to stay readable on a 100-column terminal.
|
||
- **Numbering:** monotonic, never reused. Pick the next free integer
|
||
greater than every existing ticket. The current next ID is on the
|
||
`Next ID` line below; bump it when you open a ticket and commit
|
||
the bump in the same commit as the new ticket file.
|
||
- **Header:** every ticket starts with
|
||
```
|
||
# Ticket #NNNNNN — <short title>
|
||
|
||
**Status:** open · awaiting go/no-go (or "in progress", "closed")
|
||
**Opened:** YYYY-MM-DD
|
||
**Scope:** <one-liner — what this ticket is for>
|
||
**Audience:** <who reads this>
|
||
**Hard constraint:** <invariants this ticket commits to NOT break>
|
||
```
|
||
- **Body:** problem statement, design choices with trade-offs,
|
||
recommendation, implementation sketch, scope boundaries, status.
|
||
See `ticket-000001-retrieval-keywords-audit-gap.md` for a worked
|
||
template.
|
||
- **Closure:** when a ticket lands, flip Status to `closed · landed in
|
||
commit <sha>` and leave the file in place. Do not delete tickets;
|
||
they are the design log.
|
||
|
||
## Distinction from other docs
|
||
|
||
`docs/` also contains architecture references and bench journey notes
|
||
that are NOT tickets — they describe state of the world rather than
|
||
proposing change. Examples that stay un-numbered:
|
||
|
||
- `seven-point-program.md` (north-star architectural directive
|
||
distilled 2026-05-01; every new ticket / feature / prompt edit
|
||
walks past this; bench harness reports per-mode directive
|
||
coverage)
|
||
- `cti-architecture.md` (architecture reference for the Clause
|
||
Tree Intelligence claim-lattice-pointer mode)
|
||
- `mesh.md` (mesh wire format + group-key state machine)
|
||
- `benchmarks.md` (bench harness orientation — fixtures, signal
|
||
floor, make targets, bench-row schema, addenda index; read
|
||
first when running a bench)
|
||
- `bench-maxing.md` (bench discipline — 5pp signal floor, n=3
|
||
default, avoid negation in prompts, honest verdicts over
|
||
optimistic ones)
|
||
- `qa-modes-bench.md` (rolling bench-journal addenda with
|
||
cross-references to per-ticket bench data)
|
||
- `soft-hash-channel-analysis.md` (analysis doc closing #000018
|
||
open questions §9.1 / §9.2 / §9.3; companion to
|
||
`soft-hash-channel-t3-bound.md`)
|
||
- `soft-hash-channel-t3-bound.md` (#000036 formal derivation of
|
||
the per-window covert-channel budget; companion to the analysis
|
||
doc, both feed the t3_bound_calculator)
|
||
- `tool-action-dag-design.md` (research path for an action-
|
||
provenance layer downstream of `final_label`. Captured pre-ticket
|
||
per the 2026-05-07 arborist-vs-donto comparison; promotes to a
|
||
ticket when an actual agent use case surfaces)
|
||
- `warrant-substrate-cookbook.md` (architecture reference for the
|
||
18 open-licensed textbook substrates backing every claim-pack
|
||
record, written 2026-05-10 after the 18/92 → 92/92 push under
|
||
`#000031`. Per-pillar substrate map, ingest patterns, alias
|
||
discipline, cascade tuning, honest tier breakdown.)
|
||
- `calculator-test-patterns.md` (architecture reference for
|
||
testing calculator / probe-style code. Twelve patterns split
|
||
into two tiers: the original 9-item core (KAT regression,
|
||
hand-computed formula assertions, monotonicity, closure /
|
||
sum-of-parts invariants, parametrized invalid-input cones, CLI
|
||
subprocess, doc parity, module-export shape) plus three
|
||
domain-specific contract pins (projective-contract for one-way
|
||
canonicalizers, dispatch-order pin for Python type-hierarchy
|
||
gotchas, tie-breaking-rule pin for banker's rounding).
|
||
Codified 2026-05-10 from the original three-module pattern
|
||
bench across `t3_bound_calculator` / `phi_alignment_probe` /
|
||
`anchor_prg`; extended same day with the four π* kernel
|
||
exemplars (`pi_star_arithmetic` / `_logic` / `_code` /
|
||
`_time_series`). Explicit "doesn't apply to verifier-style
|
||
code" caveat.)
|
||
|
||
If a doc proposes change AND awaits a decision AND has scoped
|
||
implementation cost, it's a ticket. Otherwise it's reference.
|
||
