Kernel: spent attempts hold the item even while a refused Run is queued - #170
Conversation
Closes #158. With a Run in flight, `_decide` returned `nothing, working` before the brakes were asked, so a count already spent was hidden while the Run waited: seed 297 left `held` for `verifying` with no declared move. Now the wanted Run is worked out first. With a Run in flight the brakes are asked about it, or a converged item's act, against the completed Runs since a writer acted, and only a Hold they give is taken. A Pause's deferral keeps the item working, as before; a superseded Run is still no attempt. The act ceiling waits for the Run too: it counts acts, stops only an act, and holding on it while a Run waits made an undeclared move (held -> adjudicating by a Lens) in tests/test_transitions.py. Boundary tests from seed 297's facts, at the Run ceiling, and for the act ceiling; three mutants. Decision 0003 gains one Boundaries row. The simulator's uncovered reviews widen from one seed in six to one in three, which takes in seed 297. On every seed all 300 pass, but the first 40, which a local run and the mutation check use, no longer reach an approval under a Pause or acceptance evidence missing.

… waits The review round on 64d50d4. With a Run in flight, `_decide` asked `on_run` and `on_act` and took only a Hold, but both read the Pause first, so a Pause hid a spent count and the item left `held` for `verifying, working` with no writer acting. `kernel/brakes.py` now holds the ceilings apart from the deferrals: `run_ceilings` (attempts, rounds, the Run ceiling) and `approval_ceilings` (an approval's attempts and the Run ceiling). `on_run` and `on_act` call them after the Pause, as before. While a Run is in flight, `_decide` asks the ceilings alone, against the completed Runs. The guard on the outcome and the act-ceiling filter go: an act, the act ceiling's among them, is not asked about while a Run waits, nor are an approved item's failed approvals. Boundary tests for a Pause, one that cannot be read and an unreadable count of acts while a Run waits, and for r4 superseded. Two test_transitions bases at spent attempts with a Run in flight. Seven mutants on the in-flight path; two brakes mutants follow the move. Decision 0003's row names the new tests, and sim/world.py names the two assertions that fail at spread 1 on 40 seeds.

Adversarial Code Review against

CodeRabbit, on PR #170. `World.paused()` required the Pause's deferral wherever the unpaused decision was a ceiling Hold. Since #158 the Kernel gives that Hold under a Pause while a Run of the item is in flight, so the oracle would have flagged correct behaviour as "a Pause did not defer". The 300 seeds did not reach it. Now, while a Run of the item is in flight (admitted and not completed, as the Kernel reads it), the ceiling Hold must show through the Pause unchanged, and nothing is added to `stopped`: the Pause held nothing back. Otherwise the deferral is still required, as before. A test calls `paused()` with seed 297's Runs, the fourth queued or in progress, under a Pause and one that cannot be read. It fails on the old oracle and passes on this one, and it checks both sides: a hidden Hold in flight breaks the invariant, and with no Run in flight a Hold in the Pause's place still does.

Codex, P2 on #170. The in-flight path's `run_ceilings` call holds an adjudicating item at `max_rounds` while a Run is queued or in progress, but no test reached it: `test_rounds_are_bounded` has no Run in flight. A boundary test: at `max_rounds`, with a ruling queued and one in progress, the item is held; one round short, it is working; with no Run in flight, held and admitted. A mutant on the in-flight call only, which gives it a `max_rounds` the completed Runs cannot reach: the new test kills it, and the older tests do not. Decision 0003's row names the test.

Brings in "Kernel: spent attempts hold the item even while a refused Run is queued" (#170) before the fix round of issue 160. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>



Closes #158.
A count the completed Runs have spent now holds the item even while another Run is queued or in progress. Before, a Run in flight made the item wait, so a refused Run that stayed queued could hide
attempts_exhaustedorrun_ceiling. The rulings are on #158. No new decision record: decision 0003 gains a row.What changes
kernel/brakes.py: the ceilings are asked apart from the deferrals.run_ceilingscovers a Run's attempts, its rounds and the Run ceiling;approval_ceilingscovers an approval's attempts and the Run ceiling.on_runandon_actcall them after the Pause, as before.kernel/decide.py: while a Run is in flight,_decideasks only those ceilings, counted over completed Runs.sim/world.py: uncovered reviews run on one seed in three, not on every seed as ruling 6 asked. At spread 1, the first 40 seeds (CI's mutant runs) no longer reach two paths the coverage tests ask for; the comment names them. Filed as Simulator: uncovered reviews on every seed, with the first 40 seeds still reaching every path #168, "Simulator: uncovered reviews on every seed, with the first 40 seeds still reaching every path". Seed 297 is covered and now ends with r4superseded.on_runoron_actin place of the ceilings. 21 were checked by hand, and all are killed.Left out
