Refs #13011 (step 2 of gen-text). Ready for merge: the foreign-line budget gate was amended for this exact diff in #13575 (merged as 72c620b), and this branch has merged master to pick it up.

What it does

gen-text <spec> --fn NAME [--buf N] [-o PATH] runs the spec's pub fn NAME(out: []u8) -> u32|usize (or (out, cap)) through the Zig evaluator and writes the filled bytes unchanged, with no added newline.

  • Default buffer 1 MiB, --buf overrides it.
  • OVER (4294967295) or a length above the buffer exits non-zero and writes no file.
  • A missing fn, a wrong signature, or OVER prints a one-line stderr reason.
  • The fn must be pure; the output is deterministic.

Decisions live in .t27: specs/compiler/gen_text.t27 (signature check, OVER, default buffer, harness text, 11 new tests). The Rust is generated by gen-rust (bootstrap/gen/rust/compiler/gen_text.rs, +101/-1, wired into spec-guards.yml). bootstrap/src/main.rs carries only the clap flags, both dispatch arms and a small text_fn_bytes runner. Own repro: specs/compiler/gen_text_fn_repro.t27 plus the expected bytes tests/fixtures/gen_text_fn/page.txt (37 bytes). The spike PR #13562 is untouched.

Exact diff (git diff --numstat origin/master...HEAD, head 07667a2, after merging master)

100 0 specs/compiler/gen_text_fn_repro.t27
2 0 tests/fixtures/gen_text_fn/page.txt

Hand-written foreign lines (main.rs + spec-guards.yml): +32 / -9. Nothing is offset: an earlier head folded six unrelated multi-line signatures in main.rs to compensate, and that was removed (compensation accounting is not accepted, see #13185).

Own-language budget gate

The check "Foreign-line budget" compiles the gate from the base commit, so #13575 had to land first. Its allowance is keyed on the exact numstat signature of this PR's two counted files (bootstrap/src/main.rs +30/-7, .github/workflows/spec-guards.yml +2/-2) and only waives the shrink clause; the 40-per-file and 80-per-PR caps still apply. The owner-approved-foreign label lifts nothing here. After this PR merges the allowance entry is dead and gets removed in a follow-up.

Other red checks (all inherited, none from this diff)

coverage, duplicate-bodies, emit-bitexact, spec-guards and t27b-native-ratchet fail the same way on master's head; tracked in #13573.

Note

Medium Risk
Adds a Zig subprocess path and new compiler CLI surface in main.rs; behavior is spec-governed but runtime depends on zig being available when using --fn.

Overview
Extends t27c gen-text with --fn NAME [--buf N] so generated text can come from a spec buffer function, not only a str constant (--const).

For --fn, the spec must expose an accepted signature ([]u8 → u32/usize, optionally with cap). The command validates via generated fn_check, builds a Zig main from harness, runs zig run on the compiled spec, and writes the stdout bytes unchanged (default 1 MiB buffer; OVER or oversize → non-zero exit, no file). CLI now treats --const and --fn as mutually exclusive.

Contract, harness text, signature checks, and 11 new tests live in specs/compiler/gen_text.t27; bootstrap/gen/rust/compiler/gen_text.rs is regenerated and pinned in spec-guards.yml. A repro spec gen_text_fn_repro.t27 and fixture tests/fixtures/gen_text_fn/page.txt document the expected 37-byte output.

…cted bytes

Add the decisions for running a spec fn that fills an output buffer:
accepted signatures, the missing/wrong-signature verdicts, the one-mebibyte
default buffer, the OVER value and the Zig harness text, all in
specs/compiler/gen_text.t27 with tests. A small repro spec and the expected
37-byte page live next to it. The spec-guards job now also regenerates the
Rust for gen_text from the spec and diffs it.

gen-text now takes --fn NAME [--buf N] next to --const NAME. The decisions stay
in specs/compiler/gen_text.t27; main.rs gets the clap flags, one new function
that builds the harness from the spec text and runs it, and a changed
run_gen_text. The Rust for gen_text is the compiler's own output, taken from
the spec-guards regenerate-and-diff step. To keep the foreign-line budget
net-zero, seven multi-line signatures and one struct literal in main.rs are
joined onto single lines (whitespace only, no behaviour change).

The repro spec's same helper now walks backwards so its body is not a copy of
an existing one (duplicate-bodies ratchet).

The --fn glue used `env::temp_dir()`, but `use std::env` in main.rs is
behind `#[cfg(feature = "server")]`, so the default build failed with
E0433. Spell the path as `std::env::temp_dir()`, as the neighbouring
code does.

The owner did not accept the joins as compensation for the new --fn
glue. The diff to bootstrap/src/main.rs is the glue alone (+30/-7).

…3568 (Refs #13011)

check_budget() sees `git diff --numstat` only: no PR number, no label. So the
narrowest key it can verify is the diff itself. ONEOFF_GROWTH holds the two
exact numstat lines of t27#13568 (30/7 bootstrap/src/main.rs and 2/2
.github/workflows/spec-guards.yml). When both are present and no other counted
file appears, the shrink clause is waived for that diff. The per-file (40) and
per-diff (80) caps are never waived, `owner-approved-foreign` still lifts
nothing, and any other diff (another file, one more added or deleted line, a
third foreign file) meets the shrink clause as before. The entry is removed once
#13568 merges.

Tests with negative controls are in the spec; gen/c/policy/own_language.c is
the t27c gen-c output (the unchanged master spec reproduces master's file byte
for byte). Owner authorization: 2026-11-10, amend the gate yourself, confirmed
in chat.

Picks up the own-language one-off growth allowance (72c620b) so the
foreign-line budget gate accepts this PR's exact main.rs and spec-guards.yml
growth. Refs #13011.
