feat: boundary verdict, holonomic guessing, minimality, and 5 Taylor rules - #303
Conversation
…rules Issue #19 plus capability items M1/M2/M3 and half of M7 from the autoresearch capability roadmap. #19 / M1 — the only defect in this project that could produce a false theorem. Zeilberger proves an identity about the *summand*; a recurrence for the sum needs the telescoped boundary to vanish, and nothing in the result distinguished the two. For OEIS A279013 a verified order-2 certificate came back in 0.1s whose recurrence fails against the real sequence at every n, with every API signal green. `zeilberger` now returns `boundary` in {"vanishes", "nonzero", "unknown"}, with `limits` (default k = 0..n, echoed back rather than inferred), `boundary_rhs` carrying b(n) when nonzero, and `boundary_at` to re-decide another range. A279013 reports "nonzero" and its *inhomogeneous* recurrence verifies exactly against the real terms — the false theorem becomes a true one rather than a refusal. The issue's own recipe was wrong and is not what shipped. Evaluating G at the limits alone reports "nonzero" for Franel, Dixon, Apery and the binomial row sum: when the limits move with n, sum_k F(n+i,k) is not S(n+i), so the missing terms D_i must be added, signed. "vanishes" is decided by exact order counting over Q(n), not substitution — A279013's certificate has a simple pole at k=n+1 against 1/Gamma(0)'s simple zero — and a negative order (G unbounded) yields "unknown", never "vanishes". M2 — `guess_holonomic`, in Python: the one mathematical step is an exact nullspace over Q that Matrix.nullspace already does, and the failure mode is a false lemma rather than a slow one. Over-determined by construction, and it distinguishes refusal (E-HOLO-005, too few terms) from None (grid swept with adequate surplus) — conflating those is how a loop closes a branch it never explored. M3 — `order_is_minimal`, computed from the probes that actually ran, plus opt-in `minimal=True`. The roadmap assumed this was nearly free because the search ascends by order. It does not: search_plan is cost-ordered, which is what made Dixon/Franel/Apery sub-second. Measured cost of the ascending mode on Apery: 0.08s at max_degree=4, 13.1s at 16. The default plan is unchanged. M7 (half) — Taylor-model rules for asinh, acosh, atanh, erf and erfc, 13 -> 18 primitives, each with a self-contained remainder argument. erf/erfc were taken specifically because the bound is elementary complex analysis with no cited constant. Verified by ~11k bounds against mpmath at 60 dps with zero escapes, and re-checked here over 750 further boxes. floor/ceil are recorded as functions that should never get a rule. Also fixes `pool.rational`, which marshalled through a C long and raised OverflowError on `pool.rational(factorial(30), 7)` while `pool.integer` of the same value was fine. The kernel already accepted bignums; only the binding was narrow. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Make the correction-term guard overflow-proof.
lo_pt.alpha and hi_pt.alpha are unconstrained i64 values taken from the caller's limits. For large slopes the addition and the multiplication on Line 230 overflow: a debug build panics, and a release build wraps. A wrapped extras can pass the MAX_CORRECTION_TERMS check, and this check is the only bound on hi_pt.alpha * i64_i at Line 257 and lo_pt.alpha * i64_i at Line 264, so those products can then overflow as well.
Use saturating arithmetic so the guard always refuses instead of wrapping.
🛡️ Proposed fix
let order = result.order;
- let extras = (lo_pt.alpha.unsigned_abs() + hi_pt.alpha.unsigned_abs()) * order as u64;
+ let extras = lo_pt

+ .saturating_add(hi_pt.alpha.unsigned_abs())

if extras > MAX_CORRECTION_TERMS {Point::offset at Line 331 adds to beta unchecked as well; beta comes from the same caller-supplied limit, so consider saturating_add there for the same reason.

Tighten the order_is_minimal claim to what the probes prove.
A lower-order probe is counted as failed on every non-returning path, including order_state yielding None, a degenerate coefficient vector, and a candidate that fails the exact Q(n)(k) re-verification at Line 700. The current text claims true means "no relation of lower order exists at any degree 0..=max_degree". The search establishes the weaker statement: no lower-order candidate passed exact verification within those bounds.
The distinction matters because this flag is the published minimality claim. State the verified statement, so a reader cannot read more into true than the search did.

Exclude asinh from the domain-restriction sentence.
The sentence says the three inverse hyperbolics carry a domain restriction, then names only acosh and atanh. asinh is entire and has no domain guard in TaylorModel::asinh, so it never refuses with E-VALIDATED-003 on domain grounds. A reader planning a workload over the negative axis can draw the wrong conclusion from the current wording.

holds_for returns True when the list is too short to produce any equation.
If len(terms) <= self._order, the loop on line 367 runs zero times and the method returns True. A caller who passes a truncated list gets a confirmation that no term supported. That contradicts the docstring claim that True is a fact about those terms, and it is the same "unsupported confirmation" this module refuses everywhere else.
Refuse the vacuous case instead.

_beatty mutates the global decimal context.
Line 41 sets decimal.getcontext().prec = 120. That context is thread-local and lives for the whole session, so every test that runs later in the same worker inherits precision 120 instead of the default 28. Scope the change with decimal.localcontext().

Module-level importorskip skips the Decimal tests too.
pytest.importorskip("mpmath") at module scope raises Skipped during collection, so pytest skips the whole module. The docstring states that mpmath lives in the ci-extras group and is not installed for Tier 1a, and that "a regression must be catchable without it". With this call at module scope, Tier 1a skips every test in this file, including the 40-digit Decimal tests and the domain-refusal tests that need no mpmath.
Gate only the sweeps on mpmath.

Issue #19 plus capability items M1 / M2 / M3 and half of M7 from the autoresearch roadmap.
#19 / M1 — the only defect in this project that could produce a false theorem
Zeilberger proves an identity about the summand; a recurrence for the sum needs the telescoped boundary to vanish. For OEIS A279013 a verified order-2 certificate came back in 0.1 s whose recurrence fails against the real sequence at every
n, with every API signal green.zeilbergernow returnsboundary ∈ {"vanishes", "nonzero", "unknown"}, withlimits(defaultk = 0..n, echoed back rather than inferred),boundary_rhsgivingb(n), andboundary_at(k_lo, k_hi).vanishesnonzero, withb(n)0..n/ over0..n−1vanishes/nonzeroA279013's inhomogeneous recurrence was verified in exact arithmetic against the real terms (2, 8, 35, 161, 768, 3773) — the false theorem becomes a true one rather than a refusal.
The issue's own recipe was wrong, and is not what shipped. "Evaluate
Gat the summation limits" reportsnonzerofor Franel, Dixon, Apéry and the binomial row sum — every flagship correct result — because when the limits move withn,Σ_{k=0}^{n} F(n+i,k) ≠ S(n+i). The missing termsD_imust be added, signed so a decreasing limit is handled. ForΣ_k C(n,k) = 2ⁿthe telescoped difference is−1, cancelled exactly byC(n+1,n+1) = 1.Soundness:
vanishesis decided by exact order counting overQ(n), not substitution — A279013's certificate has a simple pole atk = n+1against1/Γ(0)'s simple zero. A negative total order (Gunbounded, telescoping premise broken) givesunknown, nevervanishes;nonzerorequires an exact witness.Also worth recording: the issue claimed Alkahest "says nothing about the boundary" and that
telescoping.md"does not distinguish" the two. Both were already there. The real defect was that the caveat was invariant — identical text for correct and incorrect cases. A static warning is not a verdict.M2 —
guess_holonomicIn Python: the one mathematical step is an exact nullspace over ℚ that
Matrix.nullspacealready does, and the failure mode is a false lemma rather than a slow one, so the code deciding whether to believe a fit is the code easiest to audit.Over-determined by construction, reporting
surplus_terms/dimension/untested_candidates— and it distinguishes refusal fromNone: too few terms raisesE-HOLO-005, whileNonemeans the whole grid was swept with adequate surplus. Conflating those is how a loop closes a branch it never explored. Motzkin recovers from 21 terms (14 surplus), refuses at 7; primes andfloor(n·φ)giveNone.M3 — minimality, which was not free
The roadmap assumed this was nearly free "given an ascending search".
search_planis cost-ordered, not ascending — deliberately, since that is what took Dixon/Franel/Apéry from timeout to sub-second in 3.9.0. So a returned order 2 does not prove no order-1 relation exists.order_is_minimalis therefore computed from the probes that actually ran and is honestlyFalsewhen unestablished;minimal=Truesearches order-ascending. Measured on Apéry: 0.08 s → 13.1 s atmax_degree=16, free at 4. Default plan unchanged.M7 (half) — 13 → 18 Taylor-model primitives
asinh,acosh,atanh,erf,erfc, each with a self-contained remainder argument in the rustdoc.erf/erfcwere taken specifically because the bound is elementary complex analysis with no cited constant — Cramér's inequality and its 1.086 would be a "trust me" number inside a certificate.Verified by ~11 000 bounds across orders 1–24 and precisions 32–256 (plus composed expressions) against mpmath at 60 dps, zero escapes; independently re-checked here over 750 further boxes, also zero. Off-domain boxes refuse, including boundary-straddling
