Transaction Science f2513980d8 WIV1 and WIR1 gate 7 (WIP, committed before running): the direct predictors and step leave production
The arithmetic guards of the direct decodes (their own predictors, and the
saturating step of wir1_arith) no longer run outside the test-only decode;
the stage operators carry them now.

- int_video::predict is E10 on an RGB8 frame (the encoder predicts with it,
  as the decode does); the direct predictor, verbatim, is
  int_video::legacy::predict, test-only.
- staged::wir1: the direct decode's pred_at and step are legacy's. The
  encoder predicts with the decode's E11, E12 or the element below
  (ops::prediction) and steps with E9; it refuses a stage below of the wrong
  shape or element type up front. ops::{up2_prediction, rate_prediction} are
  E11 and E12 on the interleaved layouts, which the staged-measurement and
  staged-corpus tools now call.
- staged::predict's up2_at, rate_at, rate_index and rdiv, and the
  wir1_arith module, are test-only (legacy_int; and cfg(kani), for the
  harnesses that still prove them); rate_len, the rate predictor's geometry,
  stays. wai-verify declares legacy_int.
- The predictors' proofs move to the operators a decode runs: wai-ops'
  e11_up2_between_its_neighbours, e12_rdiv_matches_its_definition and
  e12_rate_at_reads_only_source_samples, in the stage shard.

Gate 6's results, for the record (the switch at 9a377f9b): gate.sh GREEN;
the release fast-kernel step; staged_verify.py and int_payload_verify.py;
wai-web native 32 and wasm32, verify_int_payload_wasm and verify_staged_wasm
(69 of 69 cases, 146 unit stage hashes equal the native ones); include/wai.h
unchanged. Falsified with the switch live: E10's half-pel rounding without
its +1 and E12's rdiv halves toward zero turn the file-based goldens red
(byte-exact wiv1_keyframe_0_payloads_are_byte_identical, video_real frame 2;
int_video_real_footage_exercises_the_half_pel_predictor;
staged_audio_rate_ladder_is_byte_exact; wai-rs int_video_halfpel), and the
corpora (wai_int_payload_vectors verify, FAIL video_real; wai_staged_vectors
verify, the encoder's reconstruction differs from the decode); the Python
verifiers stay green. The decode cloning the previous frame for E10 turns
int_payload_cost red: int_video held 42524 bytes against 35612 declared.

name: wai formal verification (integer core)
# The other half of the determinism contract.
#
# `wai-byte-equality` establishes byte-exactness by SAMPLING: it decodes fixed
# vectors on five real OS/arch combinations and asserts identical bytes. That
# proves the paths agree on the inputs someone thought to write down.
#
# This job REASONS instead. It runs a model checker (Kani/CBMC) over the same
# sources, for every input in a bounded window, and discharges the property the
# byte-exactness claim actually rests on: arithmetic totality. Rust integer
# overflow panics in debug and wraps in release, so an overflowing decoder is
# not one implementation but two, and which one a sink runs depends on how it
# was compiled. A decoder proved free of overflow, out-of-bounds access and
# non-termination is a decoder whose bitstream means exactly one thing.
#
# This is not redundant with the matrix: the matrix decodes WELL-FORMED vectors,
# so it cannot see defects that only a malformed or adversarial stream reaches.
# Four such defects in the bypass escape were found here and fixed, and the
# harnesses stand so they cannot come back.
#
# The proofs are bounded (small symbolic CDFs, fixed-length symbolic streams,
# explicit unwind limits). Bounded is not universal, and the job claims only
# what it checks.
#
# It also checks the integer operator set (wai/extensions/integer-operators.md):
# the harnesses of its test plan, in wai/wai-ops/src/proofs/, which the host
# includes beside the operator set's sources. They prove the roundings, the
# requantisation, a 32-bit fabric's limb product and epilogue, the soundness of
# the bound rules against the interpreter, the stage operators' totality and
# refusal order, the plans, and the graph form's parse. Each harness states its
# window. The harnesses run in shards; the first job holds the shards to
# covering every harness exactly once.
# One run per branch at a time. A push supersedes the run before it.
#
# There is one `macos` runner and it is the dev Mac, so every macOS job in this
# repo queues on it. With no concurrency group, a session pushing four versions
# of a branch queued four complete sets of runs and every one of them had to
# drain: on 2026-10-05 a PR's 21 contexts settled none in 70 minutes behind a
# backlog of 25 runs, and the queue grew faster than it cleared. Only the newest
# commit's verdict is wanted, so the older runs are cancelled.
#
# Verified on this forge (Forgejo 16.0.5) in `ci-test` before being added here:
# the key parses, and a newer push moves an older run to `cancelled` even while
# it is still queued, which is the case that matters.
#
# `cancel-in-progress: true` also applies to `main`. That is deliberate and
# safe here: main advances by merge commits whose tree contains the commits
# before them, so the newer run covers the older one's changes.
