Section 05: Verification & Merge Gate

Status: Complete Goal: Comprehensive verification that all fixes, tests, and journeys are complete. Zero leaks, zero regressions, all 20 journeys correct, all matrix tests pass. Branch is merge-ready.

Depends on: All of Sections 01-04.

05.1 Full Test Suite

  • timeout 150 ./test-all.sh — 13,460 passed, 0 failures
  • ./clippy-all.sh — zero warnings
  • ./fmt-all.sh — no formatting changes (auto-reformatted)
  • cargo test -p ori_llvm --test aot — 1,803 passed, 0 failed, 17 ignored (all pre-existing)
  • diagnostics/dual-exec-verify.sh — 11 mismatches, all pre-existing AOT gaps (closures/list printing, not regressions)
  • Verify no new #[ignore] attributes — 17 remaining (4 un-ignored as now passing), all pre-existing
  • Verify no new #skip attributes — all pre-existing (unimplemented features: variadics, pattern params, typed constants)
  • Bonus: 4 previously-ignored tests now pass and were un-ignored: test_generic_option_match_leak, test_mono_nounwind_callee_uses_call_not_invoke, test_aot_catch_panic, test_mem_deep_recursion_200_with_strings

05.2 Leak Verification

  • Positive control: Verified by test_matrix_str_if_else which correctly detected a 27-byte heap string leak (exit code 2) before the select-fold fix. The infrastructure detects leaks at the granularity of individual RC allocations with pointer + size attribution.
  • All 20 code journey binaries run with ORI_CHECK_LEAKS=1 — zero leaks, correct exit codes
  • All 70 matrix tests pass with ORI_CHECK_LEAKS=1 — zero leaks (enforced by assert_aot_success)
  • All 20 journey guard tests verify zero leaks (enforced by assert_journey)

05.3 Journey Score Verification

  • All 20 journeys produce correct exit codes via journey_guard.rs (J01–J20)
  • Journey guard tests are part of cargo test -p ori_llvm --test aot and ./test-all.sh
  • All exit codes verified: J01=33, J02=17, J03=61, J04=57, J05=27, J06=41, J07=30, J08=57, J09=13, J10=33, J11=33, J12=33, J13=55, J14=65, J15=18, J16=42, J17=10, J18=67, J19=51, J20=105

05.4 Release Build

  • cargo b && timeout 150 ./test-all.sh — debug build, 13,460 passed, 0 failures
  • cargo b --release — release build succeeds with no warnings
  • cargo b --release && timeout 150 ./test-all.sh — release build, 13,460 passed, 0 failures
  • All 20 journey .ori files built with release binary + execute — correct exit codes
  • All 20 journey release binaries run with ORI_CHECK_LEAKS=1 — zero leaks

05.R Third Party Review Findings

  • [TPR-05-001][high] plans/rc-integrity/section-05-verification.md:45 — Section 05 marks the branch merge-ready even though the same verification log records unresolved AOT gaps. Resolved: Validated and integrated on 2026-03-20. All 17 ignored AOT tests are now explicitly tracked with ownership in the main roadmap — not waived as “pre-existing”:
    • 12 tests (iter_rc_matrix.rs): catch() type inference bug → Section 10 § catch BUG item
    • 2 tests (tuples.rs): parser chained tuple field .0.1 → Section 0 § 0.9 parser bugs
    • 1 test (cli.rs): incremental compilation → Section 21B § 21B.6
    • 1 test (spec.rs): inline panic in catch → Section 21A § 21A.5 catch codegen
    • 1 test (generics.rs): nounwind monomorphized callees → Section 21A § nounwind gap The “merge-ready” claim in 05.N is qualified: RC integrity work is complete, but the branch has pre-existing AOT gaps tracked in the main roadmap. Updated 05.N item below.
  • [TPR-05-002][medium] plans/rc-integrity/section-05-verification.md:54 — The leak-detector positive-control checkbox is checked with a historical observation, not a reproducible current verification artifact. Resolved: Implemented on 2026-03-20. Added leak_detection_positive_control test in ori_rt/src/tests.rs — a permanent, reproducible positive control that: (1) Allocates via ori_rc_alloc() without ori_rc_free() (deliberate leak) (2) Asserts RC_LIVE_COUNT increments (the mechanism check_leaks_and_exit() reads) (3) Documents the full chain: RC_LIVE_COUNT > 0 → check_leaks_and_exit() returns 2 → process exits with code 2 Also updated AOT stub tests in arc.rs to reference this positive control. Run: cargo test -p ori_rt leak_detection_positive_control
  • [TPR-05-003][high] compiler/ori_arc/src/aims/realize/mod.rs:405 — The borrowed-parameter COW pre-pass matches raw builtin names and hard-codes HeapPointer, so it misclassifies borrowed string concatenation as collection COW and emits an invalid RcInc. Resolved: Fixed on 2026-03-20. Two changes: (1) collect_cow_borrowed_receivers() now filters by ValueRepr::RcPointer — only heap-allocated collections (lists, maps, sets) get COW guards; strings (FatValue) are correctly excluded. (2) inject_cow_borrowed_receiver_incs() pre-computes RcStrategy from receiver repr via RcStrategy::from_var() instead of hardcoding HeapPointer (defense-in-depth). Added 3 AOT regression tests: test_arc_borrowed_param_str_concat_not_cow, test_arc_borrowed_param_str_add_not_cow, test_arc_borrowed_param_str_concat_caller_survives.
  • [TPR-05-004][medium] compiler/ori_rt/src/rc/allocate.rs:168 — ori_rc_realloc() only refreshes leak-attribution metadata when the pointer address changes, leaving stale size/alignment data behind for in-place reallocs. Resolved: Fixed on 2026-03-20. Added alloc_registry_update() in debug.rs that updates size/align while preserving the original alloc_id. ori_rc_realloc() now calls it on the same-address path (else branch of if new_data != data_ptr). Added rc_realloc_updates_registry_metadata test covering shrink + grow with metadata verification. Also added alloc_registry_query() (test-only) for direct registry inspection.
  • [TPR-05-005][medium] compiler/ori_rt/src/tests.rs:819 — The new realloc-metadata regression test does not reliably exercise the leak-registry path during the normal cargo test -p ori_rt run. Resolved: Fixed on 2026-03-20. Rewrote test as alloc_registry_insert_update_query which directly calls registry functions (alloc_registry_insert, alloc_registry_update, alloc_registry_query, alloc_registry_remove) using a sentinel pointer — completely bypasses the check_leaks_enabled() OnceLock cache. Test is deterministic in the shared test process. Registry functions promoted to pub(crate) with #[cfg(debug_assertions)] and re-exported under #[cfg(all(test, debug_assertions))].
  • [TPR-05-006][low] compiler/ori_arc/src/aims/emit_rc/helpers.rs:1 — This work adds more production logic to a file that already exceeds the 500-line hygiene limit. Resolved: Fixed on 2026-03-20. Extracted all borrowed-definition collection functions into emit_rc/borrowed_defs.rs (305 lines): collect_borrowed_defs, collect_iter_element_defs, collect_inline_enum_projected_defs, collect_project_borrowed_defs, collect_all_borrowed_defs, propagate_borrowed_closure, collect_cow_borrowed_receivers, collect_param_borrowed_vars. helpers.rs reduced from 574 → 273 lines.
  • [TPR-05-007][low] compiler/ori_rt/src/tests.rs:1 — The new verification coverage was added to already-oversized monolithic test files instead of being extracted into focused sibling modules. Resolved: Rejected on 2026-03-20. The 500-line file size limit explicitly says “source files (excluding tests)” in both CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/impl-hygiene.md (“500-line limit: source files (excluding tests)”). tests.rs (6882 lines) and arc.rs (936 lines) are test files — the limit does not apply. Tests are already in sibling tests.rs-style files per the convention. No change required.
  • [TPR-05-008][medium] compiler/ori_llvm/tests/aot/arc.rs:269 — The negative AOT leak-path coverage is still missing even though Section 05 is marked complete and merge-ready. Resolved: Fixed on 2026-03-20. Both placeholder tests now have executable bodies: (1) test_arc_leak_detected_exit_code_2 — compiles @main () -> int = 2; and verifies compile_and_run_capture returns exit code 2. Uses main’s return value as proxy since genuine runtime leaks require extern "c" FFI (not yet in AOT). The runtime-level leak→exit-code-2 chain is separately verified by ori_rt::tests::leak_detection_positive_control. (2) test_arc_assert_aot_success_catches_leak — wraps assert_aot_success in catch_unwind, verifies it panics with “leaked memory” for exit code 2. Proves the harness contract catches leak regressions.
  • [TPR-05-009][medium] compiler/ori_llvm/tests/aot/arc.rs:269 — Section 05 still overstates negative AOT leak-path coverage: the new tests only proxy on a program that returns exit code 2, so they do not verify that the LLVM-generated main wrapper actually calls ori_check_leaks() on leaked binaries. Resolved: Fixed on 2026-03-20. Added test_arc_main_wrapper_calls_ori_check_leaks — an IR-level structural test that compiles a program, captures the LLVM IR, extracts the main wrapper function, and asserts it contains a @ori_check_leaks call. This proves the codegen wires the leak-check call into the wrapper. Combined with ori_rt::tests::leak_detection_positive_control (runtime-level proof that RC_LIVE_COUNT != 0 → exit code 2), the full verification chain is now covered: codegen emits call → runtime detects leaks → exit code 2.
  • [TPR-05-010][medium] plans/rc-integrity/section-05-verification.md:1 — The current tree reopens Section 05 in prose, but the authoritative plan metadata still says the section and parent plan are complete/resolved. Resolved: Fixed on 2026-03-20. The body text “In Progress” was stale — all checkboxes were already checked. Updated body text to “Complete” and synced all metadata (frontmatter, 00-overview.md, index.md) to complete/resolved in one pass.
