Cleanup of defects found while fixing issues #16#18. Every item below was reproduced on c5e8665 before being touched.

The important one: ArbBall::bessel_jn was unsound

It hulled Jₙ(lo) and Jₙ(hi) — valid only for a monotone function. J₀ on [-1, 1] has equal endpoints (≈0.7652), so the hull collapsed to a point that excluded J₀(0) = 1, the function's own maximum. An enclosure that doesn't contain the value is a wrong answer, not a loose one.

Rewritten as midpoint + mean-value bound, rigorous at every order: |Jₙ| ≤ 1 for all real x, and |Jₙ′| ≤ 1 from J₀′ = −J₁ plus the recurrence. Verified: J₀ over [-1,1] now encloses [0, 2], containing the true range [0.7652, 1.0].

This was latent, not liveIntervalEval::eval_node refused bessel outright, which is what issue #16's follow-up reported as a coverage gap. Wiring that refusal up without auditing the kernel, which is exactly what "it's a one-line fix" would have done, would have converted an honest refusal into a confident wrong answer.

eval_node's Func arm now dispatches through the primitive registry rather than a third hand-written name list, so the accepted set is the advertised set by construction. That required a unary guard on all 24 numeric_ball impls — several took args[0] unconditionally, so sin(x, y) would have returned a rigorous enclosure of sin(x). It also fixes atanh, which had a real ball kernel but lost its numeric_ball bit because probe_caps probed at 1.0 only and its domain is the open interval (-1, 1).

A silent error in UniPoly.coefficients()

2**100 * x**2 + 1 returned [1, 0, 0] — not saturation, actual zeros, so a quadratic read as the constant 1 with no exception and no flag. Core already had an exact Vec<rug::Integer> accessor; the binding called the i64 one. Reachable from ordinary use: factor_z, resultants and pseudo-division all grow coefficients past 64 bits.

verified_no_roots and endpoint roots

x on [0,1] returned undecided though 0 is a root at the endpoint. The box is closed, so a point of it at which f is proven zero is a root — no continuity or sign change required. Proof is admitted only from a degenerate [0,0] enclosure or exact symbolic substitution at a seed point; an enclosure that merely contains zero is never used. A control case whose value is below any computable enclosure width stays undecided. Randomised sweep of 240 cases with roots on endpoints, midpoints and interiors: no wrong verdict in either direction.

CI: cranelift was never linted

cargo clippy --features cranelift had no CI step and did not pass, though cranelift ships in the default PyPI wheel since PR #299. Three lints fixed and a step added. The too_many_arguments fix was a restructure rather than an #[allow], and it removed a real hazard: the old signature took point_idx and n_points as independent Options, so a half-specified batch layout was representable and silently fell through to the scalar branch — now an enum. CONTRIBUTING.md told contributors to run --all-features, which cannot build without LLVM+CUDA and so reported nothing; it now documents the per-feature loop CI actually runs.

Docs, examples, and a mis-set test

  • representations.md was wrong in six places (bad sparse_interp parameter names raising TypeError, wrong return type, wrong ordering, missing import). All 8 blocks now execute and every # output comment matches. UniPoly.leading_coeff bound as a property.
  • Four broken examples, two failing silently with exit 0: risch_integration.py printed "ERROR: should have raised" (∫√(x³+1)dx is genus 1 and legitimately returns EllipticF now), and lean_certificates.py printed an empty Lean export.
  • test_budget.py was not marginally flaky, it was mis-set: 5.3 s actual against a 6.0 s bound on an idle box; 24.9 s under load. Now bounded on process CPU time (5.3 → 8.8 s under 24 spinners, against 60 s), plus an assertion that the fallback mechanism actually fired, so it still fails if the bound stops working.

Verification

pytest tests/ 3009 passed / 61 skipped / 0 failed · cargo test --workspace --release 2056 passed / 0 failed · clippy clean for default and cranelift · cargo fmt, ruff clean · silent-error gate 0/241.

Bessel soundness and the coefficient truncation were both re-verified independently of the agents that fixed them.

Noted, not fixed

jit's numeric_f64 impls take args[0] unconditionally at any arity — the same hazard fixed here for numeric_ball. No polynomial type exposes to_symbolic to Python; binding it naively would produce garbage for a mismatched pool, so it needs a pool threaded through PyUniPoly first.

coefficient truncation

Post-merge cleanup of defects found while fixing issues #16-#18.

alkahest-core/src/ball: `ArbBall::bessel_jn` was unsound. It hulled
`Jn(lo)` and `Jn(hi)`, which is only an enclosure for a *monotone*
function. `J0` on [-1, 1] has equal endpoints (~0.7652), so the hull
collapsed to a point that excluded `J0(0) = 1` — the function's own
maximum. Rewritten as midpoint + mean-value bound, rigorous at every
order (|Jn| <= 1, and |Jn'| <= 1 from J0' = -J1 and the recurrence).
Latent rather than live, because `IntervalEval::eval_node` refused
bessel outright — so wiring that refusal up without auditing the kernel
would have converted an honest refusal into a confident wrong answer.

`eval_node`'s Func arm now dispatches through the primitive registry
instead of a third hand-written name list, so the accepted set *is* the
advertised set by construction. That required a unary guard on all 24
`numeric_ball` impls: several took `args[0]` unconditionally, so
`sin(x, y)` would have returned a rigorous enclosure of `sin(x)`.
Also fixes `atanh`, which had a real ball kernel but lost its
`numeric_ball` bit because `probe_caps` probed at 1.0 only and its
domain is the open interval (-1, 1).

verified_no_roots: a root sitting exactly on a box endpoint came back
`undecided`. The box is closed, so a point of it at which f is *proven*
zero is a root — no continuity or sign change needed. Proof is admitted
only from a degenerate [0,0] enclosure or exact symbolic substitution at
a seed point; an enclosure that merely contains zero is never used.

UniPoly.coefficients() truncated silently: `2**100 * x**2 + 1` returned
[1, 0, 0], a quadratic reading as the constant 1, with no exception.
Core already had an exact accessor; the binding called the i64 one.
Reachable from ordinary use — factor_z, resultants and pseudo-division
all grow coefficients past 64 bits.

CI: `cargo clippy --features cranelift` had no step and did not pass,
though cranelift ships in the default wheel since PR #299. Three lints
fixed (the too_many_arguments one by restructuring, which also removed a
representable-but-invalid half-specified batch layout) and a step added.
CONTRIBUTING told contributors to run --all-features, which cannot build
without LLVM+CUDA and so reported nothing; it now documents the
per-feature loop CI actually runs.

Docs and examples: representations.md was wrong in six places and now
executes end to end; `UniPoly.leading_coeff` bound as a property; four
broken examples fixed, two of which were failing *silently* with exit 0.

tests/test_budget.py was not marginally flaky, it was mis-set: 5.3 s
actual against a 6.0 s bound on an idle box, and 24.9 s under load. Now
bounded on process CPU time, plus an assertion that the fallback
mechanism actually fired.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request strengthens interval dispatch and Bessel enclosures, adds certified point-root detection, exposes exact polynomial coefficients, refactors Cranelift input layouts, updates fallback timing checks, and synchronizes documentation, examples, tests, and CI lint coverage.

Changes

Interval evaluation and primitive dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry-backed interval evaluation
alkahest-core/src/ball/mod.rs, alkahest-core/src/primitive/*, tests/test_evaluate.py
Interval function evaluation uses PrimitiveRegistry, numeric-ball probing uses broader domains, unary kernels reject incorrect arity, and Bessel enclosures use midpoint expansion with soundness tests.

Validated root certification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Certified root detection
alkahest-core/src/validated/bounds.rs, tests/test_validated_bounds.py
Root searches certify exact endpoint, center, and sampled-point roots while retaining Undecided when only an enclosure contains zero.

Exact polynomial API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Exact polynomial coefficient API
alkahest-core/src/poly/unipoly.rs, alkahest-py/src/lib.rs, tests/test_api.py
UniPoly.leading_coeff and arbitrary-size Python coefficient conversion preserve exact integer values, including zero-polynomial behavior.

Cranelift and fallback validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cranelift evaluation layout
alkahest-core/src/jit/cranelift_backend.rs, alkahest-core/src/jit/mod.rs, .github/workflows/ci.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md
Cranelift uses shared evaluation targets and explicit scalar or batch layouts. CI and contributor instructions add feature-specific Clippy checks.
Cooperative fallback timing validation
tests/test_budget.py
Fallback timing checks use process CPU time and validate the fallback error details and CPU threshold.

Documentation and examples

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation and example alignment
docs/mdbook/src/representations.md, examples/*, CHANGELOG.md
Documentation and examples use current symbolic APIs, output formats, solver modes, integration behavior, and documented release changes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 96659

The PR improves interval evaluation, endpoint-root certification, coefficient access, and CI/examples, but coefficient access can still reject valid exact values with more than 4,300 decimal digits, while several docs and examples remain inconsistent with the exposed API. This creates a bounded merge-readiness issue for affected users and requires owner follow-up before merge.

rug 1.30.0 Integer to_string_radix Rust API

💡 Result:

In the rug crate (including version 1.30.0), the Integer::to_string_radix method is used to convert an arbitrary-precision Integer into a String representation for a specified base [1][2]. ### Method Signature The method is defined as follows [1][2]: rust pub fn to_string_radix(&self, radix: i32) -> String ### Details - Functionality: It returns a String representing the Integer value in the provided radix [1][3]. - Radix Constraints: The radix must be in the range 2 to 36 (inclusive) [1][3]. - Panics: The method will panic if the specified radix is less than 2 or greater than 36 [1][2]. ### Example Usage rust use rug::Integer; let mut i = Integer::from(0x1234cdef); // Convert to base 4 let s = i.to_string_radix(4); assert_eq!(s, "102031030313233"); // Convert to base 16 i.assign(0xabcdef); assert_eq!(i.to_string_radix(16), "abcdef"); This method is the inverse of Integer::from_str_radix, which parses a string into an Integer given a specific base [3][2].

Avoid decimal parsing for arbitrary-size coefficients.

On Python 3.11 and later, the default 4,300-digit limit can reject the decimal strings passed to int by both accessors. Use to_string_radix(16) with int(..., 16), or construct integers from bytes. Add a regression test with a coefficient above this limit.

`UniPoly`, `MultiPoly` and `RationalFunction` do **not** currently expose a
symbolic conversion. Read their coefficients (`UniPoly.coefficients()`,
`MultiPolyFp.terms`) or keep the original `Expr` alongside the polynomial —
`from_symbolic` does not consume it.

Correct the MultiPoly accessor reference.

MultiPoly exposes no Python coefficient or terms accessor. terms belongs to the separate modular MultiPolyFp type. State that MultiPoly has no coefficient accessor, or add MultiPolyFp to the listed types.

Keep the documented symbolic alternative executable.

If numeric=True is removed, solve returns symbolic expressions. The later rounding, residual comparisons, and :.2e formatting require numeric values. Keep numeric=True, or add a separate symbolic-output path.

"examples/risch_integration.py" "ExprPool" "NonElementary"

💡 Result:

In the Alkahest computer algebra system, the examples/risch_integration.py script serves as a showcase for algebraic Risch integration, specifically implementing Trager's algorithm [1][2]. The NonElementary guard is a component of this implementation used to identify and handle elliptic integrals [3][1]. Because the current algebraic integration module is limited to genus-0 integrals—which involve sqrt(P(x)) over the field of rational functions where the polynomial P(x) has a degree of 0, 1, or 2—the system raises a NonElementary exception when it encounters cases where deg(P) >= 3 [1][4][2]. The example code in examples/risch_integration.py demonstrates this behavior by attempting to integrate sqrt(x^3 + 1). When the integrator processes this input, it detects the elliptic nature of the integrand (due to the degree of the polynomial being 3) and correctly raises the NonElementary exception, which the example script catches and reports [3].

Catch IntegrationError and validate E-INT-004.

Alkahest exposes IntegrationError, not a Python NonElementary exception. Catch IntegrationError and confirm e.code == "E-INT-004". Report or fail for other errors.

NonElementary exception.

Two CI failures on the previous commit.

CodSpeed: `test_ball_sin_cos_eps1e2` 226.6us -> 5468.1us. Routing
`IntervalEval`'s Func arm through the registry was right, but it used
`default_registry`, whose construction probes 41 primitives across six
argument shapes — ~1.2ms of one-time work landing on whichever call
touched the registry first. Steady state was never the problem; locally
the new dispatch is *faster* than the static match it replaced (19us vs
30us). It is invisible to a wall-clock test and very visible to an
instruction-counting one.

This path never reads a capability bit: it calls `numeric_ball` on the
primitive and treats `None` as unsupported. So it now builds through a
new `dispatch_registry`, which registers the same primitives without
probing. First call 1.18ms -> 0.24ms; steady state unchanged at 0.02ms.
`default_registry` keeps its behaviour by probing in one pass at the end,
so `capabilities()` is untouched.

The anti-drift guarantee is unchanged and arguably stronger: the accepted
set is now the set whose `numeric_ball` kernel returns `Some`, which is
ground truth rather than a probed summary of it.

rustdoc: public docs on `verified_no_roots` linked to the private
`root_exists_witness`, which `-D warnings` rejects. Now a plain code
span — same fix as `search_plan` earlier in this series.

`diff_impl` built `PrimitiveRegistry::default_registry()` *inside* the
recursive walk, so every `Func` node reconstructed all 41 primitives —
and `default_registry` additionally probes each one's capability bundle,
work this path never reads: it only calls `diff_forward` and treats
`None` as an unknown function.

Now a `OnceLock` built with `dispatch_registry`, the same pattern
`ball::registry` uses since PR #302. CodSpeed reported a ~14% regression
on `test_series_sin_order12` (which differentiates) after `gamma` gained
a ball kernel and made that probe more expensive; this removes the probe
and the per-node construction from the path either way.

Honest caveat: I could not reproduce the regression reliably on this
box — medians ranged 0.234-0.313 ms on both sides, so the local signal
is inside run-to-run variance. This change stands on its own merits
rather than on a measured fix.

AregGevorgyan added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 15, 2026
Found the mechanism behind CodSpeed's ~14% regression on
`test_series_sin_order12`, which I could not reproduce from wall-clock
alone: `PrimitiveRegistry::default_registry()` construction went from
~400us on main to ~767us on this branch. `probe_caps` calls each
primitive's `numeric_ball` at *registration*, and once `gamma`,
`bessel_j0/j1` and `lambert_w` had real kernels those probes became
arbitrary-precision MPFR evaluations rather than cheap Option checks.
`default_registry()` is reached from `diff` and `series`.

`NUMERIC_BALL` is now resolved when the bit is read, memoised per
primitive, exactly as `TAYLOR_MODEL` has been since PR #302. Registry
construction is 211us — half of main's, because the ball probe is off
the registration path entirely rather than merely cheaper. The series
benchmark's first call goes 4.07ms -> 1.19ms against main's 3.90ms;
steady state is unchanged.

Capabilities are identical: 23 taylor_model, 25 numeric_ball, ball-only
{floor, ceil}. Same probe points as before, so `atanh` keeps the bit its
(-1, 1) domain would cost it at the 1.0 probe.

Third regression from this one mechanism. Both expensive capability bits
are now lazy, which should close the class rather than the instance.
