ticket #000036 Tier-2: dav1d Option B (conservative B1 envelope) applied in v1
Per fox: apply the conservative max_envelope B1 model by changing the
v1 calculator's default — NOT by forking a v2. CALCULATOR_VERSION stays
"t3-bound-v1-bottou-refinement" (the descriptor names the unchanged B3
term); b1_model is echoed in the output AND the inputs dict so KAT
replays are unambiguous about which model produced a row.

Calculator (bench/scripts/t3_bound_calculator.py):
- New b1_model kwarg + --b1-model CLI flag, choices:
    max_envelope         (default)  max(fraction_channels, aggregate_bias)
    fraction_channels               g · W · log₂(1 + G/σ)
    aggregate_bias                      W · log₂(1 + g·G/σ)
    effective_control_v1            g · W · log₂(1 + g·G/σ)   (old non-worst-case)
- Default is now max_envelope — genuinely upper-bounding across both
  interpretations of g (dav1d review §3 closure blocker, RESOLVED).
- Every output reports all three concrete B1 variants
  (B1_fraction_channels / B1_aggregate_bias / B1_effective_control_v1),
  b1_selected, and both SNR readings (snr_grad = g·G/σ,
  snr_per_channel = G/σ) regardless of which b1_model was requested.
- model_assumptions[] now carries f"B1_model_{b1_model}".
- inputs echo now includes c_b1/c_b2/c_b3/b1_model (replay-complete).
- Invalid b1_model rejected with a ValueError naming the field.
- Baseline I_window: 625.8716 (effective_control_v1) → 6183.0154
  (max_envelope: B1=aggregate_bias 5849.63 dominates fraction_channels
  1729.72), certification_status NOT_CERTIFIED_BY_BOUND at W=10000.

KAT fixture (bench/fixtures/t3-bound/known-answer-tests.jsonl):
- Regenerated 2026-05-11 — 12 entries: the 8 §7-derived configs under
  the new max_envelope default, a g=0 edge case, plus explicit-mode
  pins for effective_control_v1 / fraction_channels / aggregate_bias.
- Each entry carries b1_model, expected_b1_selected,
  expected_b1_{fraction_channels,aggregate_bias,effective_control_v1},
  expected_snr_per_channel, expected_certification_status.

Tests (tests/test_t3_bound_calculator.py, 75 → 83):
- test_t3_bound_known_answer_tests no longer skips (fixture active);
  pins b1_model, b1_selected, certification_status + numbers, tolerates
  optional new fields on older fixtures.
- New: test_b1_max_envelope_exact_formula, test_invalid_b1_model_rejected,
  test_cli_b1_model_flag (effective_control_v1 / fraction_channels /
  aggregate_bias). test_b1_exact_formula renamed
  test_b1_effective_control_v1_exact_formula and now passes the explicit
  model. Updated baseline / below-256 / CLI tests for the new numbers.

Doc (docs/soft-hash-channel-t3-bound.md):
- Header + §0 + §3.1 + §6 + §7 (worked examples) + §8 (operator
  guidance W-solving) + §10 (closure blockers RESOLVED) + §10.1 +
  §11 (calculator schema) + §12 all updated for the max_envelope
  default. §8: target-256 W drops from ~4196 to ~415 steps under the
  conservative model — the ~10× cost of not assuming which g-reading
  holds; operators who can measure effective-control applies can use
  --b1-model effective_control_v1 for the looser W (a calibration
  claim they must justify, not a default).

Status (#000036 ticket + TICKETS.md): both prior dav1d closure
blockers cleared (B1 worst-case model + active KAT fixture); remaining
= fox's final close-or-iterate call.

AUTOCOUNT markers bumped 75 → 83. Full suite: 2288 passed, 28 skipped.

Raw Blame History

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.
