rosetta[ruby]: cross-language consistency — 0 red / 2 amber metrics, 3 ledgered shapes #2594
Description
Part of #2560 — per-language tracking for the keyword-rosetta control corpus (built for #1096). Planted intent is identical in every language, so every deviation below is measured bias vs. the 46-language median, validated in the corpus's deviation ledger. 🔴 = beyond ±50% of the cross-language median, 🟡 = ±25–50%.
Triage order (per the epic): structure detection first, then signal/keyword rules, then risk-score consequences — §3's numbers are downstream of §1–§2 and re-baseline as those fix. Cross-cutting engine issues (e.g. #2535/#2546) fix many languages at once; this issue tracks this language's residual after each cross-cutting fix lands, and closes when the language sits inside the ±25% band on every comparable metric (or every remaining deviation is ledgered as intended morphology).
1. Structure detection (fix first)
In band — no structure-level deviations.
2. Signal / keyword deviations
- 🟡
safety_bypasses: 3 vs median 2 (+50%)
3. Risk-exposure consequences (downstream)
- 🟡
risk_cognitive_load: 22.4565 vs median 15.1444 (+48%)

note = "if eval fails, try open"(string): if counts branch +1 AND eval counts safety_bypasses +1 (ruby classes eval as bypass, and it is NOT shielded — supporting the high-risk-family-only shielding theory, as shell); push/pop 2 raw state tripled to 6.

Closed 2026-09-06 as superseded by #2812 (
docs/contract_roadmap.md, decision D2). Every out-of-band cell for ruby is accounted for (the gate reads 0 unexplained) and is now tracked by cause family, not by language: the ledger entry that explains it, its cause category in keyword-rosetta'sdocs/bias_data.json["cell_categories"](echo / inherency / extraction / correlation / scoring), and the family issue #2812 lists for that cause. Live standing at any time:python tools/language_deviations.py rubyin keyword-rosetta, ordocs/findings_by_language.md#ruby.This is a change of axis, not a claim that ruby is green. The §10 capstone in
docs/language_status/ruby.mdis written when the language reads clean bylanguage_deviations.py, by whichever family PR gets it there — no longer tied to this issue.
