Seven runtime-tree and flavour doors for the engine shed (contract 4.0) by YellowSnnowmann · Pull Request #123 · tinyhumansai/tinymemory

YellowSnnowmann · 2026-08-31T14:31:42Z

Summary

Round two of the contract surface openhuman#5560 needs before the host can stop linking tinycortex and tinymemory-core. Round one (#122, released as v1.13.5) shipped five doors and left two items as blocked residue: the tree_runtime operation set and flavour.rs. These are the doors that clear them. METHODS goes 131 → 138.

Behaviour is unchanged. The engine keeps running exactly as it does today — just inside the module cdylib, reached over the contract instead of as a linked crate.

The six runtime members are the markdown time tree addressed node by node, which is what the host's tree_summarizer_* RPCs report verbatim:

member	answers
`RuntimeBufferWrite`	buffer content, answering with the landing path
`RuntimeReadNode`	one node, or `None`
`RuntimeReadChildren`	a node's direct children
`RuntimeTreeStatus`	one namespace's shape and coverage
`RuntimeSummarize`	drain the buffer, answering with the hour node written
`RuntimeRebuild`	rebuild the tree from its hour leaves

Append, DrillDown, Seal and Cascade are the same tree at a coarser grain, and each folds away a piece of the reply those RPCs carry — migrating that surface onto them would have changed the host's wire format, and a door that changes what the host reports is not a door but a new surface. FlavourProfile collapses the whole compiled-root lookup the host ran against the engine directly behind one scope-shaped question.

⚠️ Breaking: the contract goes to `(4, 0)`

is_compatible compares the major half only, so a (4, 0) contract refuses the bind against every deployed v1.13.5 module. Hosts must re-pin; there is no negotiated degradation path for this.

All seven members land on Tree — a family a driver may already advertise. version.rs is explicit that this cannot be made minor-safe, because negotiation is family-granular, not method-granular: there is no way to advertise "Tree, but without the new methods", so an older driver still advertising Tree would be bound and then asked for a method it has never heard of. The major half is what refuses that bind up front instead of discovering it at the call.

Round one did not bump, and neither did #85/#86/#89/#90. The repo's own version_tests.rs already classifies that pattern as "drift, not precedent"; this round declines to extend it, and the test comment now records #122 alongside the others.

The openhuman host is pinned to v1.13.5 today and will re-pin in its own PR, #5875.
For whoever cuts the release: a major contract bump argues for v1.14.0 rather than v1.13.6. Flagging it as your call — I have not presumed it, and nothing in this branch touches crates/tinymemory/Cargo.toml.

openhuman#5560. Round-2 sibling of #122.

API or behavior changes

Breaking (contract): CONTRACT_VERSION (3, 0) → (4, 0), per the paragraph above.

Additive (API): seven new MemoryTree members. Every one is defaulted to Err(MemoryError::unsupported(Capability::Tree)), so a driver built against the older contract keeps compiling untouched.

The three members that answer with tree nodes are checked against the response ceiling and refuse with BUDGET_EXCEEDED rather than failing during frame encoding. A level's max_tokens bounds a node's summary and nothing else; metadata carries a pending-fold receipt naming every buffer file the pass drained, so it grows with how much was buffered rather than with any budget. The pre-existing tree members that skip this check are untouched — see the review thread on service/mod.rs.

One deliberate behavioural difference from the coarser siblings: RuntimeSummarize and RuntimeRebuild resolve the summarisation provider before the engine is asked anything — ahead of even the "is there work" check. These are a person's explicit "run now", and a runner that could not have run must say so rather than answer None as if it had looked. Seal and Cascade keep their empty short-circuits; they are the scheduler's, called unconditionally.

Validation

Every command below was run locally and passed:

cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo build --all-targets --all-features
cargo test --all-features — and cargo test (default features), and cargo test --workspace

Plus the gates that live outside those four:

cargo clippy -p tinymemory-tinycortex --all-targets --no-default-features -- -D warnings
cargo clippy --manifest-path crates/tinymemory-module/Cargo.toml --all-targets -- -D warnings
cargo fmt/cargo test on the module workspace — it is excluded from the root workspace, so cargo test --workspace does not touch it
Loader E2E, all 13 cases, one process per test
RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps --all-features
Both cargo llvm-cov production-source floors
scripts/ci/engine-containment.sh
cargo run -p tinymemory --example basic

Tests

New coverage for all seven doors:

full_provider_conformance.rs — the store doors over a real workspace (landing path, metadata in front-matter, filing under the caller's timestamp), absence-is-data (None node, empty child list, all-None status), validation refusals, and the flavour door's None-until-a-body-exists ladder.
tree_tests.rs — TreeNode and TreeStatus wire round-trips; absent timestamps must decode back to None rather than an epoch.
names_tests.rs — spellings plus absolute wire slots (131–137). Pinned by index rather than from the tail, because a tail-measured assertion moves silently under the next append.
engine/test.rs — the front-matter strip, all four branches.
service/test.rs — the response-ceiling behaviour: a node inside its level budget whose metadata still overruns the ceiling must refuse; the realistic shape (including a full 31-child month) must not. The wiring is asserted too, by seeding an oversized node through the engine's own writer and reading it back through MemoryService — mutation-tested by deleting the check, which fails the test.

A coverage regression this round introduced, and the fix

The module's production-source floor is 80%. On v1.13.5 it sat at 80.33% — 0.33 points of headroom. This round adds 74 delegation lines to service/mod.rs that are reachable only through the loader E2E, which is #[ignore]d and therefore invisible to llvm-cov. All 74 landed uncovered and the gate fell to 77.41%.

Two tests in service/test.rs fix it — the refusal a driver without the Tree family must give, and the answers the port carries back from one that has it (real provider over a tempdir). Result: 80.84%, above the v1.13.5 baseline.

I mutation-tested the first one to prove it is not vacuous: stubbing flavour_profile to return Ok(None) makes it fail, as it should.

Worth noting for reviewers that this is a structural blind spot rather than a one-off — cargo test --workspace cannot see the module crate at all, and the loader E2E that does exercise these paths is invisible to coverage by construction.

Documentation

Every new trait member carries a rustdoc block with an explicit # Errors contract, and states why it exists next to its coarser sibling rather than restating what it does.
crates/tinymemory-bus/README.md said "120 members" — the same hardcoded-count drift round one fixed in lib.rs by switching to METHODS.len(), but missed in the README. Fixed here the same way.
version_tests.rs's history note now records Five contract doors for the openhuman engine shed #122 among the rounds that skipped the bump.

Two pre-existing gaps I found and did not fix

Both predate this branch and are untouched by it — raising rather than folding them in:

EXPECTED_METHODS in module_e2e.rs compares BTreeSets, not sequences, so it does not pin order — and it has been out of METHODS order since before v1.13.5 (they diverge at index 5). The real in-order guard is the_served_members_are_exactly_the_published_contract in the module's lib tests, which compares Vecs and passes. The module_e2e.rs comment reads as though it pins order; it does not.
LOADER_CASES lists 12 of the 13 #[ignore]d E2E cases — bootstrap_connection_finds_its_provider_registry_inside_the_module is missing, so the in-process runner skips it. CI's --ignored --list loop still covers it (I ran it manually; it passes).

Checklist

The change is focused on one logical change
No new #[allow(...)], #[ignore], or relaxed lints
No secrets, tokens, or .env contents in the diff or the description

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds seven runtime tree methods to the Tree API, TinyBus module, MemoryService, and Tinycortex provider. It adds wire-name and serialization tests, updates the contract version to 4.0, and adds service and provider conformance coverage.

Changes

Runtime tree surface

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Wire and API contract `crates/tinymemory-api/src/provider/content.rs`, `crates/tinymemory-bus/...`	The Tree API gains seven default methods. TinyBus exports their names, tests their wire positions and serialization, and changes the contract version to 4.0.
Tinycortex provider implementation `crates/tinymemory-tinycortex/src/engine/...`	Tinycortex implements tree writes, reads, status, summarization, rebuilding, flavour profiles, namespace validation, and front-matter handling.
TinyBus service wiring `crates/tinymemory-module/src/...`	The module exports the new methods. `MemoryService` forwards calls to the Tree capability and maps errors.
Routing and provider validation `crates/tinymemory-module/src/service/test.rs`, `crates/tinymemory-module/tests/module_e2e.rs`, `crates/tinymemory-tinycortex/tests/full_provider_conformance.rs`, `crates/tinymemory-tinycortex/src/engine/test.rs`	Tests cover unsupported providers, delegated results, method manifests, tree persistence, validation, summarization failures, and flavour profiles.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 74c73

The PR currently has a lint/build readiness failure from missing documentation on a public export, and several runtime responses may exceed the message-size limit instead of returning a bounded error. These issues can block validation or cause production calls to fail unexpectedly, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed.

Round two of the contract surface openhuman#5560 needs before the host can stop linking tinycortex and tinymemory-core. Round one (tinyhumansai#122, v1.13.5) left the tree_runtime operation set and flavour.rs as blocked residue; these are the doors that clear it. METHODS goes 131 -> 138. The six runtime members are the markdown time tree addressed node by node, which is what the host's tree_summarizer_* RPCs report verbatim: RuntimeBufferWrite buffer content, answering with the landing path RuntimeReadNode one node, or None RuntimeReadChildren a node's direct children RuntimeTreeStatus one namespace's shape and coverage RuntimeSummarize drain the buffer, answering with the hour node written RuntimeRebuild rebuild the tree from its hour leaves Append, DrillDown, Seal and Cascade are the same tree at a coarser grain, and each folds away a piece of the reply those RPCs carry — migrating onto them would have changed the host's wire format, and a door that changes what the host reports is not a door but a new surface. FlavourProfile collapses the whole compiled-root lookup the host ran against the engine directly behind one scope-shaped question. The contract goes to (4, 0). All seven land on Tree, a family a driver may already advertise, and version.rs is explicit that such an addition cannot be made minor-safe: negotiation is family-granular, not method-granular, so there is no way to advertise "Tree, but without the new methods" and an older driver still advertising Tree would be bound and then asked for a method it has never heard of. The major half refuses that bind up front instead of discovering it at the call. is_compatible compares the major half only, so this refuses the bind against every deployed v1.13.5 module and hosts must re-pin; the openhuman host re-pins in openhuman#5875. Round one did not bump, and neither did tinyhumansai#85/tinyhumansai#86/tinyhumansai#89/tinyhumansai#90 — version_tests.rs already calls that drift rather than precedent, and its history note now records tinyhumansai#122 alongside them. Every trait method is defaulted to unsupported(Tree), so a driver built against the older contract keeps compiling. The two provider-backed members resolve the summariser before the engine is asked anything: these are a person's explicit "run now", and a runner that could not have run must say so rather than answer None as if it had looked. Seal and Cascade keep their empty short-circuits; they are the scheduler's. The three members answering with tree nodes are checked against the response ceiling. A level's max_tokens bounds a node's summary and nothing else — the fold applies it to the body alone — while metadata carries a pending-fold receipt naming every buffer file the pass drained, so it grows with how much was buffered rather than with any budget. Without the check an oversized node fails during frame encoding; with it the caller gets BUDGET_EXCEEDED and a reason. The pre-existing tree members that skip the check are left alone. The module's seven service members are covered in pairs — the refusal a driver without the Tree family must give, and the answers the port carries back from one that has it. Without them the module's production-source coverage gate fell to 77.4%: the seven delegations are only reachable through the loader E2E, which is `#[ignore]`d and so invisible to llvm-cov, and v1.13.5 had just 0.33 points of headroom over the 80% floor. The tinymemory-bus README's member count was still the hardcoded 120 that round one replaced with METHODS.len() in the crate docs but missed here.
