+# Freeze rig for the construction_interface dichotomy gap-closing (dichotomy
+# wave #2479 gap port). Auto-imported on interpreter start
+# (PYTHONPATH=scripts/ci_freeze_seams:src) by BOTH the truth generator
+# (scripts/gen_construction_interface_truth.py) and the shared harness's
+# --verify mode, so frozen truth is byte-reproducible in any process:
+#
+# * EVERY RUNE_*_CORE gate is pinned to "python" — the oracle runs its
+#   pure-Python floors end to end (construction_interface, scaffold,
+#   structural_store, construction_decision, construction_mode, capability
+#   ledger, programme continuation, layout contract, ...). The shared
+#   harness's _pin_oracle_cores cannot reach the transitive gates; this
+#   blanket pin is the poisoned-truth law for the whole dependency cone.
+# * The wall clocks are FROZEN: rune.structural_store.now and
+#   rune.scaffold.now (bound import) report CI_FROZEN_NOW. The oracle
+#   stamps need ids, observed_at, checkpoints and closure records through
+#   these two seams; the frozen truth carries the constant instant.
+# * uuid.uuid4 is a deterministic counter (submit_need mints contract ids
+#   from uuid4().hex[:6]); the counter RESETS per rig helper call so a
+#   case's ids depend only on how many mints happen inside it.
+# * CI_FREEZE_HOME (default /tmp/ci_gap_freeze_home) roots every per-case
+#   hermetic store: cases/<case>/proj/.rune/scaffold — deterministic
+#   per-case dirs, because envelopes that carry paths (mini_doc) must
+#   replay byte-identically.
+# * DOC-CARRYING SEAMS: the Rust kernel is a pure doc-in/doc-out membrane
+#   (the store stays with the facade), so every stateful seam below takes
+#   the FULL input doc as an argument — the frozen args replay in the Rust
+#   battery without any store. The input docs are built by the deterministic
+#   builder helpers (build_doc/submit_doc/walk_doc) that the GENERATOR
+#   calls; the seam injects the doc into a fresh hermetic store, runs the
+#   ORACLE method, and returns the envelope (plus oracle-derived doc
+#   outputs where the kernel's contract includes them).
+# * write_mini_doc is redirected into the case dir (the oracle's default
+#   routes through the SOURCE TREE — a repo-dependent absolute path).
+#
+# KNOWN-NONDETERMINISTIC SEAM (memory_consolidation precedent): the
+# obligation ids in _obligations_projection carry Python's
+# process-randomized str hash. Cases whose output carries those ids live
+# in the SEPARATE frozen_ci_truth_hash.json battery (captured + verified
+# with PYTHONHASHSEED=0) and are SHAPE-pinned in the Rust battery and the

+"""Freeze the dichotomy-wave gap truth for src/rune/construction_interface
+through the SHARED harness (scripts/freeze_truth.py — one law).
+
+The oracle is a stateful facade (ConstructionInterface over a Scaffold
+store) with clock/uuid nondeterminism, so this generator runs under the
+freeze rig (scripts/ci_freeze_seams/sitecustomize.py):
+pinned RUNE_*_CORE=python floors, frozen clock, deterministic uuid mint,
+hermetic per-case stores (deterministic per-case dirs — envelopes that
+carry paths, like mini_doc, replay byte-identically), and DOC-CARRYING
+seam bindings the shared harness can getattr: the Rust kernel is a pure
+doc-in/doc-out membrane, so every stateful case carries the full input
+doc in its args and replays in the battery with no store.
+
+Run (from the repo root):
+    rm -rf /tmp/ci_gap_freeze_home
+    CI_FREEZE_HOME=/tmp/ci_gap_freeze_home \
+      PYTHONPATH=scripts/ci_freeze_seams:src \
+      python3 scripts/gen_construction_interface_truth.py
+
+Verify (byte-identical, same rig):
+    CI_FREEZE_HOME=/tmp/ci_gap_freeze_home \
+      PYTHONPATH=scripts/ci_freeze_seams:src \
+      python3 scripts/freeze_truth.py --verify \
+      src/rust/construction_interface/frozen_ci_truth.json \
+      --module rune.construction_interface
+
+Every public function and branch is exercised. The obligation-id seam
+(_obligations_projection carries process-randomized str hash) lives in
+the SEPARATE frozen_ci_truth_hash.json battery (captured + verified with
+PYTHONHASHSEED=0) and is SHAPE-pinned downstream — never value-frozen
+here.

+"""gen_contracts_gap_truth.py — freeze/replay parity truth for the contracts
+gap-close (dichotomy wave, #2479 tranche).
+
+Freeze mode (default): exercises the LIVE Python oracle
+(src/rune/contracts.py — the 7 functions the audit names as missing:
+_ct_core, _resolve_and_project, _run_contract_python, capture_signatures,
+save_signatures, load_signatures, main, plus run_contract/run_all_contracts
+companions) and records the truth into
+src/rust/contracts/src/ct_gap_truth.json.
+
+The file has two sections:
+
+* ``cases`` — shared-harness schema, re-verifiable with
+  ``PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/freeze_truth.py --verify
+  src/rust/contracts/src/ct_gap_truth.json --module rune.contracts``.
+  Contract-taking fns cross via the harness ``recv`` form: the receiver
+  spec rebuilds a live ``Contract`` (cls __new__ + attrs, no IO) and the
+  fn is called as an unbound-style first argument. ``expect_type`` stays
+  None because a type object is not JSON-safe — the type-check branches
+  are covered by the pre-existing 58-case ``ct_truth.json`` battery,
+  replayed through the new ``_run_contract_python`` Rust kernel.
+  ``check_signature_drift()`` reads the real signatures file (no args) so
+  it stays out of the harness set (its compare kernel is already frozen
+  in ct_truth.json's drift_cases).
+* ``extra`` — oracle-derived rows the harness cannot round-trip
+  (``ContractResult`` dataclasses are not JSON-native; ``save/load`` touch
+  the signatures file; ``main`` drives argv/stdout/exit-code):
+  ``result_cases`` (run_contract / _run_contract_python asdicts),
+  ``run_all`` (42 asdicts), ``probes`` (loader-state -> gate bool),
+  ``file_cases`` (per-case deterministic dirs, no paths in expectations),
+  ``main_cases`` (argv/stdout/exit-code). Embedded VERBATIM in the
+  ``gap_battery`` alongside ``cases``.
+
+Replay mode (--replay): re-runs the SAME scenarios with the Rust core
+delegation ACTIVE and asserts facade-level and kernel-level parity.
+
+Poisoned-truth law: freeze pins RUNE_CONTRACTS_CORE=python BEFORE any
+oracle import (the shared harness also pins it per module stem).
+Mutation law: case inputs are deep-copied BEFORE they reach the oracle.
+Deterministic-dirs law: file/main cases redirect SIGNATURES_FILE into
+/tmp/ct-gap-freeze/<case>/ (fixed names — identical at freeze, --verify
+and --replay); expectations never embed the paths.

+
+**Phase:** closed · **Mode:** n/a · **Depth:** n/a
+
+## What was built
+
+Close the identity_anchors dichotomy-port PARTIAL gaps (#2479 wave): port the 8 audit-missing functions (show_anchors, show_rules, show_pronouns, _announcement_patterns, _pronoun_patterns, _hedge_patterns, _sycophancy_patterns, _cc_core) from the Python oracle src/rune/identity_anchors.py into the existing cognition_core Rust kernels (src/rust/cognition_core/src/broker.rs — extended, no new crate) name-preserving, logic 1:1: the behavior lattices are the core port surface (embedded JSON snapshots generated from the frozen truth, replay-verified); the show surface renders behind the data-injection seam (table as argument, Python data stays the runtime authority); _pattern_triples is the real 35-row authority; check_genuineness matches over the embedded performative lattice; _cc_core is the pin-decision mirror; identity_handle_hook carries the 'default' envelope. doc-envelope FFI cc_* family via cc_loader (freeing via cc_free_string, never re-exported) + facade delegation pinned by the existing RUNE_COGNITION_CORE gate. Freeze shared-harness truth (scripts/freeze_truth.py, RUNE_COGNITION_CORE=python pinned via the ia_freeze_seams rig, show_* stdout captured by the rig wrappers, no absolute paths in truth) embedded VERBATIM in the Rust battery; clippy --all-targets -D warnings 0; crate builds; live parity 100% on the new fns both pins; Python suite both pins green; Phase B language-advantage pass (OnceLock lattice caches, prefixed() combinator, fmt::Write renderers).
