From 2584312087207514acd6552767363882cb272311 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukasz Samson Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2026 11:44:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] Add CI check comparing @specs against inferred type signatures make check_specs runs lib/elixir/scripts/compare_specs_and_signatures.exs, which translates stdlib @spec declarations into Module.Types.Descr types and compares them against the compiler-inferred signatures (ExCk chunk) with semantic subtyping, slice-wise per spec clause. Residue that cannot be auto-triaged is executed against concrete witnesses (rejection-sampled in-domain values plus doctest-mined calls) in sandboxed tasks. The gate fails on witness-proven findings, lattice contradictions, and any divergence not acknowledged in compare_specs_exclusions.txt; stale exclusions only warn. Witness sampling is PRNG-seeded so runs are deterministic on a given build. Wired into the deterministic CI matrix entry, ~11s per run.

It executed stdlib functions with sampled arguments -- too much surface for a CI script -- and upgraded no verdicts on the current tree. The gate semantics are unchanged for practical purposes: lattice contradictions and unacknowledged residue entries still fail the run. 443 lines smaller, fully deterministic, no code execution.

Arguments are now qualified as remote types against the caller module before substitution. IO.ANSI translates fully as a result. Untranslatable specs were counted but neither reported nor gated, so a new unsupported typespec construct could silently reduce coverage. They are now listed in the report/JSON with the reason and must be acknowledged in the exclusions file like any residue entry. The nine current ones (Erlang record types in File specs) are baselined.

It remains a distinct verdict in stats and JSON so tightening hints stay discoverable. Shrinks the exclusion baseline from 126 to 60. - The effective inferred return is computed with the checker's own application rule, mirroring Module.Types.Apply.apply_infer/2: positionwise non-disjoint clauses contribute their returns, and a spec slice on which the checker rejects every conforming call escalates to :contradiction. Each function is additionally probed with all arguments set to Descr.dynamic() (the fully-unknown gradual caller) and the relation of that return to the spec is reported. Inferred applications always produce dynamic()-wrapped returns; stack.mode only affects strong signatures, which never occur in ExCk chunks. - Erlang record types #name{} translate as open tuples tagged with the record name (sound over-approximation), removing nine File.* untranslatable entries. The one remaining untranslatable spec (Code.fetch_docs/1) is due to :erl_anno's OTP 28 nominal types and resolves once Code.Typespec.fetch_types/1 returns nominal types.

It now includes untranslatables and the instructions match the actual verdict set, including the dynamic_args probe. Also drops the Code.fetch_docs/1 exclusion: :erl_anno's nominal types resolve now that Code.Typespec.fetch_types/1 returns them (#15562), and the tool reported the entry as stale -- zero untranslatable specs remain.

The comparison script re-checks every module's definitions with each spec'd function's argument domain taken from its translated spec: dynamic(spec_type) under :dynamic mode by default, or raw spec types under :static mode with --bodies-domain static. It reports (a) the warnings the checker emits when arguments are assumed spec-typed and (b) the return type inferred under that assumption, compared per entry against the declared spec return. Informational, never gates. On the current tree the dynamic-domain run finds 66 warnings (91 in static mode): mostly defensive clauses that cannot match spec-conforming inputs (Map.get/3's badmap clause, List.first!/1's empty-list raise, the deprecated Dict module's catch-alls) and spec-vs-deprecated-alias tensions such as System.normalize_time_unit/1 clauses handling plural time units that time_unit() excludes.

It is not a mechanical contradiction either (inference over-approximates, so a non-empty return does not prove returnability) -- route it to :mixed for human judgment. Six stdlib functions surface, all correct no_return() specs over BIF delegations, acknowledged with comments. - The spec-domain body check unions argument positions across spec clauses, admitting cartesian combinations no single clause allows. Findings on multi-clause-spec functions are now tagged "[union domain]" in the report and :per_position_union in the JSON; single-clause specs are exact. Documented in the header. - Literal map types are translated as CLOSED maps; documented why this is the exact Erlang typespec semantics (a map value must have every association matched by the type; extra keys require an explicit optional(any()) => any(), which is handled by the open_rest branch) and not an under-approximation. Also adds visibility for coverage limits: the JSON now lists the 30 spec'd functions without inferred signatures (no comparison possible) and counts entries whose translation was inexact (825), so silent auto-triage under approximation is quantified.
