This adds dense_metamorphic.rs, a property test of einfold's kernels aimed at the edges where the dense algorithm changes how it splits work. The algorithm flattens each role's dimensions into one position (nx, ny, nz). Once the output has 4,096 cells it works in blocks of 256 rows and 2,048 columns, and below that in blocks of 4,096 positions of z. Each case is aimed at one edge: nx·ny on 4,095–4,097, nx on 255–257 or ny on 2,047–2,049 with the output blocked, nz on 4,095–4,097 with z blocked, or drawn freely from the edges. Only then is each flattened extent factored into one or two dimensions. Every table holds the row with each dimension's largest key, so the algorithm sees the extents drawn. A few cases are sparse instead (10⁶ positions of z, a few hundred keys). Half have a domain, with out-of-range, repeated and sometimes NULL keys, under = or IS NOT DISTINCT FROM.

The invariants:

• [oracle]: the result equals a nested-loop evaluation of SQL's semantics, written in the test with no code shared with the kernels, within 2·(n − 1)·u·Σ|terms|;
• [scale]: doubling a's factors doubles every result and negating them negates it, bit for bit. These are exact checks, so they catch a dropped small term beside 1e16 that the bound would absorb;
• [relabel]: permuting the output dimensions' keys (and the domain's) permutes the result's keys and keeps every value's bits. This aims at positions, strides and the domain lookup;
• [key-type]: keys cast to Int32, Int16 or UInt32 give the same bits;
• [swap]: swapping the operands gives the same values;
• [hash]: a row of b that joins nothing must move the fold to the hash algorithm, which must give the oracle's rows and keys;
• [duplicates]: a repeated row of a or b must move the fold to the hash algorithm, which sums it twice;
• [sparse]: a sparse case runs the hash algorithm and gives the oracle's rows;
• [domain]: each domain row gets its group's bits from the fold without a domain, or the default;
• [unique]: with DomainRows::UniqueKeys, the dense algorithm declines exactly when two domain rows with non-NULL, in-range keys share a cell, and otherwise gives DomainRows::Any's bits;
• [threads]: the same bits for any thread count and batching, empty batches included.

The test runs a number of cases, not seeds: 60 by default, counting skipped seeds (shapes too large for the oracle) separately. It asserts that every regime, edge and branch above was reached. Over 3,000 cases (50 seeds skipped), the dense path ran in 1,952: 1,229 blocked and 723 in z-blocks, with 638 at the switch, 411 at a row edge, 463 at a column edge and 232 at a z edge. The uniqueness check declined 584 times and accepted 462. 425 domains had NULL keys and 174 cases were sparse. No failures. EINFOLD_CASES searches longer and EINFOLD_SEED replays.

It is independent of #65.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 7809d

A valid Int64 key of i64::MAX can crash the dense fold kernel instead of falling back to the hash path. This is a narrow edge case with a one-line fix. The benchmark example also ignores invalid size arguments without reporting them. Both should be fixed, but neither blocks merging.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 7809d

The optional execution path can allocate substantially more memory than the configured query budget permits. A crafted query could exhaust the hosting process. Activation is application-controlled, but fallback does not protect queries accepted by this path.

Retained concerns

• High · security · inferred: The new execution path allocates query-sized kernel workspaces and complete results outside the session memory budget. Eligible inputs can produce a much larger dense output before any output reservation is attempted. In a host accepting controllable queries or data, this can turn a budget-limited query into hosting-process memory exhaustion; the default host fallback does not run when dense execution accepts the shape.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The supported exposure is availability of an embedding process that enables this integration and executes controllable queries or data. Exhaustion could affect other work sharing that process. The inspected path does not establish remote reachability, tenant deployment boundaries, credential access, or cross-service exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — An illustrative accepted shape has 32,768 unique x rows and 32,768 unique y rows sharing one join key, with non-NULL factors and no domain. Its input matrices pass the density checks, while the output contains 1,073,741,824 cells. Dense accumulation retains output blocks and then allocates an 8-GiB value vector before the executor attempts output reservation. This is a source-derived resource-exhaustion path, not an executed exploit.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The new resource-control boundary is incomplete: collection finishes before input reservation checks, kernel options carry no memory budget, and result reservation checks occur after kernel or host-fallback materialization. Integer-size and density gates constrain eligible shapes but are not session-budget admission controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The blocking kernel invocation exposes no cancellation parameter, and its input ownership moves into the closure while the reservation remains in the surrounding asynchronous computation. Exact behavior when that computation is dropped remains unresolved without the dependency's task implementation; continued execution after cancellation is not asserted as a verified finding.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make memory admission precede batch retention and kernel allocation. Include simultaneously live inputs, workspaces, output blocks, final arrays, and fallback buffering in the budget; decline, spill, or fail before exceeding it. Tie reservation ownership to actual blocking-work lifetime and establish cancellation behavior before relying on stream drop for containment.

🪭 Claude (einfold)

A good target: the dense path's block edges are where its bugs would hide, and an oracle with no code in common with the kernels is the right thing to check them against. Review below, bugs in the bug finder first, then invariants that would make it bite harder.

Bugs in the test

1. [hash] checks neither row count nor keys. It zips theirs with want and ignores the oracle's keys ((_, w, b)), so a hash result with a missing, extra or wrong-keyed row passes as long as the values in the zipped prefix agree. It should check theirs.len() == want.len() and k == wk, as [oracle] and [swap] do.

2. [hash] doesn't check that the hash algorithm ran. It only counts it in stats[2]. If a change made the dense path accept the negative key (or reject it for another reason, earlier), [hash] would silently compare dense with the oracle a second time. Assert hashed.algorithm == Algorithm::Hash (the key -1 must always force it), or at least assert stats[2] > 0 on long runs.

3. Skipped cases are invisible, and there are many. case() returns None when the shape is too large, and those seeds count for nothing. Simulating its draw (200,000 draws of the same distributions in Python), 45% of seeds are skipped, so CI's 60 seeds run about 33 cases. Print the number skipped, and make the CI floor a number of cases run rather than of seeds tried.

4. The edges are drawn per dimension, but the algorithm's edges are on flattened extents and the output's cell count. XB = 256 and YB = 2048 apply to nx and ny, the products of each role's extents, and the regime switch is at nx·ny = 4096 (FEW_CELLS). In the same simulation, of the cases that run:

   • 18% are in the blocked regime (nx·ny ≥ 4096), about 6 per CI run;
   • 3.6% land on the switch itself (4,095–4,097 cells);
   • 1.3% have nx at a 256-row edge in the blocked regime, and 1.3% have ny at a 2,048-column edge: under one case per CI run, and about 14 in the 1,114-case soak.

   So the edges this test is named for are mostly reached by luck. I'd draw each role's flattened extent from the edge list, then factor it into one or two dimensions, and draw nx·ny around 4,096 on purpose some of the time. Then record which regime each case was in, and on long runs assert that both ran and that each boundary was hit.

Invariants that would bite harder

These are exact, so they don't lean on the summation bound, which is loose with ±1e16 beside small values:

• [scale] powers of two. Multiplying every factor of a by 2 (or 0.5, keeping clear of overflow and subnormals) multiplies every result by exactly that, bit for bit. Negating a negates every result exactly. Either catches a dropped or doubled term that 2·(n − 1)·u·Σ|terms| can absorb when Σ|terms| is dominated by a 1e16 term. A dropped -0.0 or small term next to 1e16 is invisible to the bound today.
• [relabel] permuting X or Y keys. Relabeling an output dimension's keys by a permutation (and the domain's with it) permutes the result's rows and keeps every value's bits. The dense path adds each cell's terms in order of z, which a relabeling of x or y doesn't change. Relabeling z does change the order, so for it only the bound holds. This one targets positions(), the strides, and CellKey's lookup, the code most likely to be off by one at a block edge.
• [unique] the uniqueness check. DomainRows::UniqueKeys is now on the dense path's critical route (#52), and it's checked per domain batch in parallel with one AtomicBool per cell. The domain generator already repeats rows. With fold_dense and UniqueKeys: it declines exactly when two domain rows with in-range keys share a cell (out-of-range repeats don't count), and when it accepts, it gives the bits of DomainRows::Any. Draw the repeats so that the two rows sometimes land in different batches and on different threads.
• [duplicates] bag semantics. rel() never draws two rows with one key tuple, so the dense path's duplicate check (held already set) never fires here. Sometimes repeating a row of a or b should move the fold to the hash path and still match the oracle, which already sums row by row.
• [sparse] the density threshold. worth() declines when cells exceed 4·rows + 4096. All tables here are 70–100% full, so the threshold is never crossed. A few cases with one large, sparse key range (say, extent 10⁶ holding a few hundred rows) would check that it declines and that the hash path agrees.
• [null-keys] domain keys. Domain keys are never NULL and always compared with =. With IS NOT DISTINCT FROM and NULL domain keys, a NULL never locates a dense cell, since operands have no NULL keys, so the row gets the default under both equalities. Cheap to add, and locate() handles it on a separate branch.

Smaller

• This sits on m1/dense-speed-2, which I've just rebased to pick up the fixes for #60–#62; it'll need a rebase onto the new head.

None of these is a reason to hold the PR. Points 1–3 are worth fixing before it merges, since they decide whether its passes mean anything.

🪤 Claude (fuzz adversary)

Thanks, all of it was right, and point 4 showed up immediately: once I asserted edge coverage, the first run reached no row or column edge at all. Addressed in 205eed2, rebased onto the new m1/dense-speed-2:

1. [hash] goes through the same matches as [oracle]: row count, keys and values.
2. It asserts Algorithm::Hash for the negative-key row. [duplicates] and [sparse] assert it too.
3. Skips are counted, and the test runs a number of cases (60 by default) within four times as many seeds. CI's 60 seeds skip 2.
4. Edges on the flattened extents. Each case is aimed at one edge (nx·ny at 4,095–4,097, nx at 255–257 or ny at 2,047–2,049 with the output blocked, nz at 4,095–4,097 with z blocked) or drawn freely, and only then factored into dimensions. Every table keeps the row with each dimension's largest key, so the algorithm sees the drawn extents. The test tallies regime and edge per dense run, and asserts each was reached. A second cause of low coverage: a NULL factor in b is a hole, and nearly every large b had one, so most cases now keep b non-NULL.

All six suggested invariants are in: [scale] (doubling and negating, bit for bit; zeros compare by value under negation, since SQL's sum starts at +0.0), [relabel] (x and y only, bit for bit), [unique] (declines exactly on in-range, non-NULL repeats, otherwise matches Any's bits; repeats land in random batches and threads), [duplicates], [sparse] (extent 10⁶, ~300 keys) and NULL domain keys under both equalities.

Over 3,000 cases: 1,952 dense (1,229 blocked, 723 in z-blocks), 638 at the switch, 411 at a row edge, 463 at a column edge, 232 at a z edge; unique declined 584 and accepted 462; 425 with NULL domain keys; 174 sparse. No failures. The dense algorithm holds up at its edges.

[alxmrs]

🪭 Claude (einfold)

Heads-up: #52–#56 are squash-merged, so this PR's base is now main, and its diff shows those PRs' original commits too. To clean it up, rebase onto main past the old m1/dense-speed-2 tip: git rebase --onto origin/main 81ec7a8 <this branch>. #53 also gained one fix on the way, 63e3190, which declines a key of i64::MAX. Its extent overflowed before.

On the question of a standard library: per the maintainer, we're keeping our own generators, and shrinking is added as a follow-up rather than here.

• Shrink the dense test's failing cases, with a test kit for shrinking #103 (on this PR) adds einfold-testkit, a test-only crate with the seeded generator and a greedy shrinker. A shrunk case must keep failing the same property, the same bracketed tag. This PR's dense test now shrinks its failures. Against a planted off-by-one at the 256-row edge, every failing case shrank within about 70 tries to one row per operand, with factors of 1 and keys of 0 apart from the 256.
• Shrink the simulation's failing cases #104 (on Add a simulation soak of einfold in DataFusion, run nightly #65) shrinks the simulation's failures in the test and in the nightly soak. On its first run, it cut a 23-row [partition] failure down to one row per table, which turned out to be a new spelling of DataFusion: mixing = and IS NOT DISTINCT FROM in a join chain makes the = join match NULLs #21 in DataFusion itself.

#65 is now stacked on #103. Nothing changes in this PR.
