CLI version-bake sweep surfaced one real defect: the Phase 1 test
scaffolding I shipped in c422216 imported ``from arborist.v9
import prometheus``, baking in the version-prefixed namespace path
that yesterday's substrate refactor (654d923) abolished.
The skip mechanism (try/except ImportError → CONTROLLER_AVAILABLE
= False) was masking the issue: when fox lands Phase 1 of #000037
at ``arborist/substrate/prometheus.py`` (per the topic-named
convention), my tests would CONTINUE to skip with
"controller module arborist/v9/prometheus.py absent" because the
import target itself is wrong. The skip-stub becomes permanent
dormancy instead of activating when the module ships.
Two changes:
- Import line: ``from arborist.v9 import prometheus`` →
``from arborist.substrate import prometheus``.
- Skip-reason text + module-docstring: ``arborist/v9/prometheus.py``
→ ``arborist/substrate/prometheus.py``, with a parenthetical
noting the post-2026-05-10 topic-named convention and that
§13's original sketch predated the v-dir retirement.
The fix is a real one — when fox's Phase 1 of #000037 lands, my
17 skip-stubs now activate against the correct module path.
Without this fix, they'd silently stay dormant.
Sweep summary
=============
Walked every CLI subcommand --help (arborist top-level + nested
substrate / memory / capital / selfmodel / warrant-resolve / sweep
/ alias / mesh / crawl / providence) plus full-tree grep for
``arborist v[789]`` / ``arborist\\.v[789]`` / ``arborist/v[789]``.
Remaining v-prefix mentions across the tree (all intentional):
- arborist/cli.py:5166-5169 — historical-note comment for the
v8→substrate rename
- arborist/substrate/__init__.py:8 — same convention-explanation note
- arborist/substrate/anchor_prg.py:59 — bytestring inside SHA-256
derivation of placeholder seed; can't change without breaking KAT
- bench/fixtures/phi-prg/known-answer-tests.jsonl:1 — fixture header
naming the v7 paper section §9.10 (paper version, correct)
- docs/v8-fork-score.md:4 — historical-note ("module moved from")
- docs/tickets/ticket-000019, ticket-000013 — "arborist v9.8" schema
references (schema version, correct)
- docs/_source/merkle-agi-v7w-spatial-temporal.rst — v7 paper +
v9.8 schema references (both correct)
Tests: 1915 passing, 45 skipped (was 1872; +43 from fox's parallel
test additions during this commit's prep + the 17 prometheus
skips activating against the correct path stub).
CLI version-bake sweep complete. The substrate refactor is now
surface-clean end-to-end.
