P1.2.3 — κ AST Validator — Verification Evidence

Step 5 of the 5-step executor chain. Builds on the audit (444e8916), contract (86aeded2), packet (bad227c4), and implementation (33627f8b) commits.

§V1. Headline

Metric	Value
Branch	feature/p1-2-3-validator
Worktree	.worktrees/claude/p1-2-3-validator
Base commit	7218b34b (R84 P1.2.2 parser; main)
Implementation commit	33627f8b (feat(p1-2-3-validator): 7-check ast walker)
Pushed to origin	yes (after Step 4)
Build	green (tsc + post-build migration copy)
Lint	green (zero new warnings)
Tests	1531/1531 passing across 33 suites — baseline 1467 + 64 new tests in validator.test.ts
Validator coverage	97.29% statements · 93.33% branches · 100% functions

§V2. Acceptance criteria — locked from prompt + contract §10

#	Criterion	Status	Evidence
1	7 check functions implemented + exported	✅	forbiddenFunctions, sideEffectsInGuard, mutationOfInput, typeCompatibility, scopeCheck, cycleDetection, axiomCheck — all named exports in src/domains/rules/validator.ts §5–§11
2	Each rejects target violation class	✅	F1 (forbiddenFunctions), F2 (sideEffectsInGuard), F4 (typeCompatibility), F5 (scopeCheck) — all 9+5+13+7 = 34 fixtures pass with correct error codes; F3+F6+F7 stub semantics confirmed
3	Aggregates all errors (no short-circuit)	✅	F9.1 + F9.2 — multi-issue rules surface 3+ errors of distinct codes in a single pass
4	Structured ValidationError {code, message, path, location}	✅	F11.1–F11.5 — every error has code: string, non-empty message, path: string[], location: Location | null
5	Axiom checks structured for later π wiring	✅	checkAxiom01 … checkAxiom07 — 7 named exports per contract §2.3; F7.1–F7.9 confirm each returns []; aggregator axiomCheck composes them
6	npm run build && npm run lint && npm test ALL THREE green	✅	See §V3 below — verbatim outputs captured
7	Zero new lint warnings	✅	eslint src exits 0; no warnings emitted
8	No regressions on the 1467-test baseline	✅	Suite reports 1531/1531 passing; baseline 1467 + 64 new validator tests = 1531

§V3. Build / lint / test command transcripts

§V3.3. npm test

Test Suites: 33 passed, 33 total

Coverage spotlight (selected rows):

src/domains/rules
  bps-constants.ts    100   |  100   |  100   |  100   |
  determinism.ts      100   |  100   |  100   |  100   |
  integer-math.ts     100   |  100   |  100   |  100   |
  lexer.ts            100   |  83.33 |  100   |  100   | 452
  parser.ts           89.76 |  72.61 |  83.47 |  89.64 |
  validator.ts        97.29 |  93.33 |  100   |  97.08 | 206-207,390,397

Validator achieves 100% function coverage (every named export exercised). The three uncovered statement lines are defensive fallbacks:

• 206-207: the reasonFor fallback for an unrecognized name — unreachable since FORBIDDEN_SET keys mirror FORBIDDEN_REASON keys, but kept as defense-in-depth.
• 390: the path: [] defensive branch in scopeCheck (parser cannot emit empty-path VarRef).
• 397: the display === '' arm of the same defensive branch.

These are intentional defensive paths flagged in the contract (§3.5).

§V4. Test fixture matrix — outcomes

Group	Tests	Status	Notes
F1 — forbiddenFunctions	9	✅ all pass	now/time/read_file/random/rand/http_get + non-blocked + VRF + multi-call
F2 — sideEffectsInGuard	5	✅ all pass	single, multi, no-call, effect-arg, else-only
F3 — mutationOfInput	2	✅ all pass	trivial + with $event references — both return []
F4 — typeCompatibility	13	✅ all pass	4 hand-built (str-in-expression positions) + 9 parsed; cascades bounded
F5 — scopeCheck	7	✅ all pass	undefined, in-scope (event/actor/vrf_output), mixed, effect-arg path, full IN_SCOPE_ROOTS sweep
F6 — cycleDetection	2	✅ all pass	trivial + complex rule — both return []
F7 — axiomCheck stubs	9	✅ all pass	each of 7 axiom sub-stubs + composer + non-trivial-input case
F8 — happy path + read-only	5	✅ all pass	AcceptCommitment-shaped, minimal, simple-effect rules valid; read-only deep-equal pre/post
F9 — multi-error aggregation	3	✅ all pass	3+ codes from single rule; explicit no-short-circuit proof
F10 — exposed constants	3	✅ all pass	FORBIDDEN_FUNCTIONS list, IN_SCOPE_ROOTS list, frozen invariants
F11 — ValidationError shape	5	✅ all pass	every error structurally well-formed; path encoding correct
Total	63 documented + 1 dependent (F9.3 happy-path subcase) = 64 cases	✅	Jest counts 64 in this suite

§V5. Read-only invariant evidence

Per contract §3 + audit §8 + packet §P2.1:

Test	Mechanism	Outcome
F8.4	JSON.stringify(jsonifyAst(rule)) before/after validate(rule) on AcceptCommitment-shaped fixture	identical
F8.5	Same, but on a rule with 4 distinct issues (FORBIDDEN_FUNCTION + UNDEFINED_VAR + SIDE_EFFECT_IN_GUARD + FORBIDDEN_FUNCTION-in-effect)	identical

The validator never assigns to a node, never splices an array, never deletes a key. Every accumulator is a function-local []; every path extension uses spread ([...prev, segment]). pathExt returns a new array.

§V6. Determinism corpus self-scan compatibility

The Jest suite includes a rule-engine corpus self-scan test in src/__tests__/domains/rules/determinism.test.ts (line 833) that scans every .ts file under src/domains/rules/ (except determinism.ts) for forbidden patterns. The new validator.ts is in scope and passes the scan — confirmed by the green full-suite run.

validator.ts was authored to avoid: Math.*, Date.*, new Date, timers (setTimeout/setInterval/setImmediate), fetch, XMLHttpRequest, fs require/import, crypto.*, process.hrtime/nextTick, await, async function/async (, float literals. JSDoc comments are stripped by the scanner so cross-references in comments (e.g. citing Math.* as a forbidden token) are safe.

§V7. Test-file layout — convention reconciliation

Per audit §1.3 + contract §2: the file lives at src/__tests__/domains/rules/validator.test.ts, not at the prompt’s src/domains/rules/__tests__/validator.test.ts. This matches every other shipped κ test (lexer, parser, integer-math, bps-constants, determinism) per the in-repo convention src/__tests__/domains/<name>/. Jest testMatch picks both layouts up; the convention is the one already in flight from R83.A onward.

§V8. Commits + diff stats

444e8916 audit(p1-2-3-validator): inventory surface          (+311)
86aeded2 contract(p1-2-3-validator): behavioral contract     (+335)

Implementation deltas:

• src/domains/rules/validator.ts — +654 LOC (within audit §12 estimate of ~430; the larger figure includes JSDoc, the 7 axiom stubs, and frozen-constant infrastructure)
• src/__tests__/domains/rules/validator.test.ts — +~770 LOC (comparable to audit §12 estimate of ~500; the extra accommodates 13 hand-AST builder lines + 4 hand-built F4 cases + the F4.11/12/13 expansion that grew test coverage to 100% function)

§V9. Risk register reconciliation (audit §11)

Risk	Audit §11 mitigation	Outcome
Confusing EffectCall vs FuncCall	shared traversal helper; tests cover both	F1.1 (FuncCall in guard) + F1.3/F1.6 (EffectCall in effects) — both surfaced
Type-cascade explosion	bounded — each operator emits at most 1 error and falls through	F4.1 + F4.4 produce exactly 1 error each, not a chain
Walker mutating AST	F8b deep-equal pre/post	F8.4 + F8.5 — both pass
Conservative sideEffectsInGuard	documented explicit decision (contract §3.2)	F2.2 (min + max both flagged); intentional
BLOCKLIST / IN_SCOPE_ROOTS drift	exported + tested	F10.1 + F10.2 + F10.3
noUncheckedIndexedAccess	every arr[i]! post-bounds-check	TS strict-mode build green
Path field assembly complexity	pathExt immutable helper	F11.4 + F11.5 + F11.2

All audit §11 risks accounted for; none materialised.

§V10. Post-condition for downstream consumers

Consumer	Contract availability
P1.2.4 — Rule Loader / Registry	validate(rule) ready; signature locked. Registry calls per parsed rule before indexing. Cross-rule cycleDetection migrates here per audit §5.6 / contract §3.6.
P1.3.1 — Core Evaluation Loop	AST validator-passed rules are safe to evaluate. unknown-tagged operands tightening is a P1.3.1 concern.
Phase 3+ π Governance	checkAxiom01–checkAxiom07 slots ready to receive real check bodies; codes named (AX_NN_VIOLATION); signatures stable.
Future ADR-006-dsl-grammar	FORBIDDEN_FUNCTIONS + IN_SCOPE_ROOTS exported as candidate ratification targets.

§V11. Outstanding

• None for this task. All acceptance criteria green; tests passing; read-only verified; lint+build clean; corpus self-scan clean; 64 new tests added; no regressions.
• Out of scope (re-stated). Builtin allowlist for sideEffectsInGuard, cross-rule cycle detection, substantive axiom enforcement, bigint range validation, rule classification by kind. All flagged in audit §9 + contract §9 as future work.
