Native fitness disposes; a bad proposal costs one child budget. Cost discipline: one LLM call ~ thousands of native evals, so plateau-only, cache by (signature, fails) key. Benchmark: the 3M-run best sat on 'level 0 not connected' + 'me1 on wrong level' for \u003e1M evals — moves a plan-reader fixes in one edit.

Deliverable is a WRITTEN assessment (DESIGN.md section): can harbor's programme graph (16 rooms + spine, 2 storeys with stacking constraint) be dualized into slicing trees, how many, and is enumeration of realizing trees tractable?

{"id":"homemaker-py-r5a","title":"Stale leaf-share stamp resurrects when collapse_global commits a leaf back to its stamped code","description":"Found by the homemaker-py-zrx expert review. The homemaker-py-iio fix stops _collapse_value/_usage_quality PROBES from seeing a stale share (share\u003e1, share_type != type), but the COMMIT path still resurrects it: when collapse_global's assignment (or a 2-opt swap in _two_opt_adjacency_polish) relabels a leaf back to its stale share_type, leaf.type == share_type again, graph.leaf_share goes live, and the leaf immediately counts as k rooms with a k*target size centre — a credit the Hungarian matrix valued at 1x (the iio guard cleared the stamp for exactly that probe). The resurrected stamp then SERIALISES (dom._emit's guard passes once type == share_type), so it persists in the output.\n\nConsequences: (1) in-process eval vs dump/reload eval of the SAME tree diverge again — the exact 91f/iio divergence class, reopened through the commit door. Repro (verified today): 12x8 two-leaf tree, left leaf typed b1 carrying stale share=3/share_type=n, programme n(count 3, size 24+-5, w 3+-0.8, p 2+-0.6) + b1(count 1, size 24+-5, w 12+-0.5, p 2+-0.6), leaf_sharing+collapse_insearch on: live eval = 12 fails / score 7.43e-08; dump+reload twin = 19 fails / 7.29e-11 (twin gains '0/l size', 'missing required space n#1' + critical + 3 would-need lines; live instead has 'too many spaces: n (found 4, expected 3)'). (2) The Jacobi valuation (1x, post-iio) and the committed reality (kx) disagree, so assignments are made under one objective and scored under another; the 2-opt reward() sees the kx credit during trial swaps while the Jacobi matrix never did — the two phases of the same optimiser price the same relabel differently. (3) An ordinary retype mutation that happens to restore a leaf's old code resurrects the stamp the same way (no collapse needed), with the same live-vs-reloaded divergence.\n\nRecommended fix: canonicalise stale stamps instead of guarding readers one by one — at _evaluate_full entry (or minimally at collapse_global entry over the supply set), drop share/share_type whenever share_type is set and != type, exactly mirroring dom._emit's serialisation guard, so the in-memory tree can never disagree with its canonical dumped form. Add a dump/reload-agreement regression test in the style of test_collapse_global_dump_reload_agree_with_stale_share but driving the COMMIT (use the repro above: assignment must relabel the stamped leaf back to its stamped code). Note this slightly changes search dynamics (accidental resurrection credit disappears), so re-run a quick harbor-house sanity A/B when landing.

Three confirmed bugs and one hygiene task filed:\n\n- homemaker-py-r5a (P2, CONFIRMED by minimal repro): stale leaf-share stamps resurrect when collapse_global's COMMIT relabels a leaf back to its stamped code — the iio fix guarded the probes but not the commit; live vs dump/reload evals of the same tree diverge again (12 vs 19 fails, score 7.4e-08 vs 7.3e-11 in the repro), and the resurrected stamp serialises and persists. Recommend canonicalising stale stamps at _evaluate_full (or collapse_global) entry, mirroring dom._emit.\n- homemaker-py-cvw (P2, CONFIRMED by probe): n_workers\u003e1 search_staged stage 1 — parent process never clears geometry._cache but substrate_readiness reads geometry there every ranking comparison; dead individuals' id()-keyed entries alias freshly unpickled children (24/300 readiness values corrupted, worst error ~1.0). Address-dependent selection bias; candidate mechanism for part of b8g. Serial runs safe.\n- homemaker-py-sd3 (P3, CONFIRMED on 5 evolved files): driver.collapse_best builds its evaluator with collapse_insearch=True baked in (no way to thread the run flag); the 94g keep-better guard is vacuous (base==coll 5/5, e.g. logs 12-\u003e12 where canonical shows 15-\u003e12) and a canonically fail-increasing collapse would be silently applied. Same gap in search_annealed's final rescore.\n- homemaker-py-pek (P3): fitness.py has two process_storey definitions; the first (~line 1146) is dead code silently shadowed by the second (~1452).\n\nReviewed clean (no defect found): solver.py (experiments-only, not on the scoring path; its residuals ignore share/co_type but nothing in search calls it); gaussian/truncated-e and clipped-gaussian ports; _gaussian_product combination; check_space_counts coverage arithmetic and missing-id suppression; collapse_global's pin/slot accounting, forbid handling, Jacobi synchronous update and the xcy submission-order determinism fix; merge_divided (merges only o/s leaves, so no share-stamp loss); NativeEvaluator deepcopy hygiene (per-eval clear_cache at _evaluate_full entry protects the whole in-eval path including collapse_insearch); collapse_finish's cand-deepcopy id-reuse hazard probed 0/6 (cyclic trees outlive the deepcopy window) — defensive clear recommended in cvw.

Concretely (harbor-house seed=0, budget=20000, full default stack): search reports 37 fails; copy.deepcopy(r.best.root) rescored immediately in-process also gives 37 (exact match, verified 5x); but dom.dump(r.best.root, f)+dom.load(f) then rescored gives a stable, reproducible 53 -- 15 extra fails, dominated by 'missing required space: m*' / 'missing m: would need adjacency/level' for a level-0 count=3 code ('m', Meeting Room) that must be getting satisfied via collapse_insearch's collapse_global relabelling in the live tree but is NOT literally present as a raw leaf.type in the tree (grep of the dumped .dom confirms no leaf typed exactly 'm' anywhere). Ruled out: hash-seed randomness (stable across PYTHONHASHSEED 0-4), naive YAML float-precision loss (dom.load+dom.dump round-trip is byte-stable once loaded), and the known separate collapse_insearch-conf-omission bug in run_staged_search.py's own rescore (homemaker-py-7ua, which produces a DIFFERENT wrong number, 55, via a different mechanism -- missing the collapse_insearch override entirely). This is a THIRD, distinct issue: even with the conf fully correct, dump/reload of the raw (pre-collapse) topology changes what collapse_global's Jacobi-relaxation/adjacency-relabelling converges to. Leading hypothesis (not yet confirmed): dom.py's _link()-reconstructed parent/below/position linkage after a fresh parse does not exactly match the linkage the live, incrementally-mutated search tree carries (module docstring notes 'multi-storey wall-stacking where an upper quad inherits its coordinates from the matching quad below' -- a below-pointer or traversal-order difference could change collapse_global's adjacency graph or leaf iteration order). Needs focused investigation with debug instrumentation inside collapse_global comparing the live vs reloaded tree's leaf order/adjacency graph on the SAME topology. Impact: any workflow that dumps a .dom under the leaf_sharing+collapse_insearch stack and later rescores it from disk (homemaker-fitness CLI, homemaker-collapse, ad-hoc diagnostics) gets a WRONG, but stable/reproducible-looking, fail count -- silently more pessimistic than what the search actually achieved. homemaker-py-91f's fail-category tally works around this by scoring driver.search_staged's r.best.root in-process, immediately, never via a dump/reload round trip (see experiments/run_and_capture_91f.py).","notes":"Correction: the rigorous historical re-verification follow-up is filed as\nhomemaker-py-d86 (not a placeholder ID as in the previous note).","status":"closed","priority":2,"issue_type":"bug","assignee":"Bruno Postle","owner":"bruno@postle.net","created_at":"2026-08-01T15:29:46Z","created_by":"Bruno Postle","updated_at":"2026-08-02T06:54:04Z","started_at":"2026-08-01T19:05:07Z","closed_at":"2026-08-01T20:07:32Z","close_reason":"Closed","dependency_count":0,"dependent_count":0,"comment_count":0}

{"_type":"memory","key":"ld2-13-6-interior-o-seed-diagnostic-all","value":"ld2/§13.6 interior-O seed diagnostic: ALL crinkliness fails in the constructed bal+share seed are UNDER-exposed (crink\u003c0.62, landlocked rooms with no facade + no uncovered-O neighbour) — zero over-exposed sliver fails. So the erc crinkliness residual is genuine under-daylighting, validating the interior light-well premise. Default outside_divisor=6 was too sparse (null: harbor 147-\u003e142, crinkliness even rose). odiv=3 is the seed-optimal joint setting: harbor seed fails 147-\u003e129 (-18), maple 219-\u003e206 (-14), landlocked fails drop, at cost of more leaves (harbor +4, maple +8). Because it ADDS leaves it carries the §13.4 wash-out risk; A/B to convergence pending."}

It is a convergence ACCELERATOR via a deeper local optimum around the constructed topology: wins where that topology is roughly right and budget is scarce (harbor -13%, maple -10% at 20k evals) but DELAYS small programmes where the seed must be restructured by undivide (programme-house regresses at fixed budget, yet reaches the floor given budget - speed, not asymptote). Default-on. Also: n_storeys must honour storey_minimum, not just level: keys (programme-house storey_minimum:2, all rooms level:0 - was seeded 1 storey short; cq1)."}

Reproducibility holds only for a FIXED worker count — serial vs parallel differ because children-per-iteration is 1 vs n_workers (different batch granularity), which is expected, not a bug. The constructive seeder was NEVER nondeterministic: _assign_adjacency_aware has unique idx tiebreaks; comparing topologies with Python builtin hash() of the signature STRING is invalid (PYTHONHASHSEED salts str hashing per process) — use a stable hash (sha1) or genome.signature equality."}
