Summary

Four autoresearch capability items from temp-alkahest/planning/autoresearch-capabilities.md (M4, M9, M10, M11).

M4 — root-of-unity specialisation for q_zeilberger

QZeilbergerCertificate.specialize_at_root_of_unity(d, n) closes the gap flagged in q_zeilberger's own docs: a Q(q) certificate does not by itself license setting q to a root of unity, which is exactly the step q-supercongruence work needs. It's a three-valued decision ("specializes" / "obstructed" / "unknown"), backed by exact cyclotomic-field arithmetic (Φ_d(q) divisibility over Q, never floating point) — never an assumption.

  • 36 Rust tests, 12 Python tests, all passing.
  • Verified end to end on Σ_k [n;k]_q²·q^{k²} = [2n;n]_q at d = 1..6, independently against a Pascal-recurrence Gaussian binomial and, at the Python surface, against floating-point complex evaluation at the actual numeric root of unity — neither check touches the Rust cyclotomic machinery.
  • Both refusal paths are exercised concretely: a genuine pole at ζ_3, and a case where the summation window shrinks (q-Lucas).

M9 — Gröbner bases over Q(params)

GroebnerBasis.compute(polys, vars, params=[...]) and experimental.ParametricGroebnerBasis run Buchberger over Q(params)[vars] instead of treating rate constants as ring variables — the difference between structural-identifiability elimination working at BioModels scale versus 2–3 state toy models.

  • 25 Rust tests, 22 Python tests, all passing.
  • Measured on a catenary compartmental model: ~15× at 4 states/7 params (0.27s vs 4.2s), and the direct route hadn't finished after 240s at 5 states/9 params where the parametric route took 6.9s.
  • Degeneracy is reported, not hidden: conditions() factors the genericity locus into irreducible hypersurfaces, and specialize() refuses (E-PARAMGB-004) on it — checked against a point where the direct ℚ computation genuinely disagrees, not just a conservative refusal.
  • No naive-gcd swelling: uses FLINT's fmpz_mpoly_gcd, the same discipline holonomic::qfield already established one variable in.

M10 — Positivstellensatz multiplier search (partial, honestly)

sos_decompose now falls back past diagonal dominance to a general PSD Gram search, and past that to a Reznick multiplier search ((Σxᵢ²)^N·p, N ≤ 4).

  • 55 Rust tests, all passing. Budget exhaustion reports E-SOS-002 (undecided), never a disproof; every returned certificate re-expands exactly and composes with to_lean.
  • What doesn't work yet, and why: Motzkin's polynomial and Robinson's form — the two classical examples that motivated this item — are not certified. Diagnosed, not just observed: their multiplier certificates are singular Gram matrices sitting exactly on the PSD cone's boundary, and the annealed alternating-projection search converges monotonically toward that boundary (min eigenvalue ≈ −1.6 → ≈ −0.0018 as the floor anneals to 0) without closing the last, asymptotically slow stretch — the textbook signature of a tangential (non-transversal) intersection. The search machinery itself is independently confirmed sound (an exact affine-family sanity check, and a synthetic planted singular-Gram example that is found and exactly re-verified), so this is a real, scoped algorithmic gap rather than a bug — and the tests/docs/CHANGELOG say so directly.

M11 — novelty filtering against OEIS

experimental.novelty.check_novelty normalises a P-recursive claim to a canonical hash and checks it against OEIS before a search loop can call a rediscovery a finding.

  • 43 Python tests, all offline against a committed fixture recorded once from oeis.org.
  • NoveltyVerdict.found is three-valued and has no novel attribute; bool(verdict) raises, so if check_novelty(...): cannot compile into the overclaim this module exists to prevent.
  • One real bug found and fixed in the process: confirmations()'s start parameter is the true index of terms[0], and a caller passing a misaligned array without adjusting it corrupts every window (not just the misaligned one), since the recurrence's coefficients are genuine polynomials in n. Now documented unambiguously.

Verification

  • cargo test --workspace --release --features "groebner egraph parallel": 2283 passed, 0 failed.
  • pytest tests/ -q: 3285 passed, 0 failed, silent-error gate 0.0%.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --lib --features "groebner egraph parallel" -- -D warnings: clean.
  • RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps --features "groebner egraph parallel": clean.
  • ruff check, ruff format --check: clean on all touched files.
  • scripts/check_error_codes.py: OK, no new codes needed (M10 reuses E-SOS-002/E-SOS-003).
  • scripts/check_api_freeze.py origin/main: additive only (ParamGroebnerError).

What's still missing

  • M4: multivariate telescoping (branch (a) from the original spec) is untouched; free parameters, a q-analogue of guess_holonomic, standalone q-Gosper/q-Petkovšek, and a wall-clock guard are still open.
  • M10: Motzkin/Robinson (see above) — needs a method that reaches tangential/boundary-only PSD certificates reliably (Douglas–Rachford with over-relaxation, or facial reduction, are the standard next things to try).
  • Putinar-style certificates (genuine-SOS, not just non-negative-constant, multipliers on constraints) remain unshipped for M10, as before.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added exact q-Zeilberger specialization at roots of unity, including pole detection, support diagnostics, and clear specialization outcomes.
    • Added experimental parametric Gröbner-basis computation with safe specialization, genericity conditions, elimination, and reduction.
    • Added OEIS novelty checking with recurrence validation, conservative parsing, caching, and tri-state results.
    • Expanded SOS decomposition with PSD Gram searches and bounded Reznick multipliers, backed by exact certificate verification.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new experimental algebra, telescoping, novelty, and positivity capabilities and their limitations.

…pliers, novelty filtering

Four autoresearch capability items (M4, M9, M10, M11):

- M4: QZeilbergerCertificate.specialize_at_root_of_unity closes the
  q-supercongruence gap in q_zeilberger — a three-valued decision (never an
  assumption) on whether a Q(q) certificate survives specialising q to a
  primitive root of unity, backed by exact cyclotomic-field arithmetic.

- M9: GroebnerBasis.compute(..., params=[...]) runs Buchberger over
  Q(params)[vars] instead of treating parameters as ring variables, with an
  honest degeneracy-locus report (conditions(), specialize() refusing on it)
  rather than silent genericity assumptions.

- M10: sos_decompose gains a general PSD Gram search and a Reznick
  multiplier search past diagonal dominance. Infrastructure is solid and
  tested, but the hardest classical boundary-case examples (Motzkin,
  Robinson) are not yet certified — diagnosed as an alternating-projection
  convergence limitation at a tangential PSD-cone intersection, not a
  soundness bug, and the tests/docs say so directly rather than overclaiming.

- M11: experimental.novelty normalises P-recursive claims to a canonical
  hash and checks them against OEIS (offline-fixture-tested) before a search
  loop can call a rediscovery a finding.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5f38c

This PR adds several mathematical search and specialization capabilities, but the current head still has a concrete blocker because multiplier-backed Lean output may not typecheck, along with bounded correctness issues for invalid inputs and short novelty records. Merge should wait for those issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

checked_index bounds against sums but coefficient indexes coeffs.

coefficient(i) validates i < self.spec.sums.len() and then indexes self.spec.coeffs[i]. The core keeps both vectors the same length for a Specializes verdict, so this cannot panic today. The coupling is implicit. Bound each accessor against the vector it reads, so a future core change cannot turn this into a panic across the FFI boundary.

♻️ Proposed change
-    fn checked_index(&self, i: usize) -> PyResult<usize> {
+    fn checked_index(&self, i: usize, len: usize) -> PyResult<usize> {
         if !self.spec.specializes() {

69-88: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider asserting the exactness of the divisor division.

Line 82 falls back to the undivided num when exact_div fails. Φ_f | q^e − 1 for f | e, so this branch is unreachable. If it were ever reached, cyclotomic_polynomial would return a wrong modulus silently, and every downstream valuation and specialization decision would be wrong without any signal. Add a debug_assert! so a future change to RatUniPoly::div_rem fails loudly in tests instead of degrading the certificate silently.

♻️ Proposed hardening
             if e % f == 0 {
                 // `Φ_f` divides `q^e − 1` whenever `f | e`, so the division is
                 // exact; the fallback keeps this total rather than panicking.

565-719: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Gate the diagnostic tests and fix the stale vector count.

The diag module keeps a debugging session as always-on tests: the names encode "step1/step2/step3", and the bodies emit eprintln! trajectory dumps rather than assertions. Both tests run the full 12-stage floor schedule on a 15-monomial basis, and the Motzkin test at lines 529-562 already runs the same search, so cargo test --workspace pays this cost three times.

Keep the two value-carrying assertions (the exact family sanity check at 614-617 and the planted re-expansion at 713-717), and mark the tests #[ignore] with descriptive names so a maintainer can run them on demand.

Line 669-670 also says "five fixed integer vectors" while line 672 builds three.

♻️ Proposed fix for the stale comment
-        // Build a deliberately rank-deficient (rank 3) PSD Gram matrix: five
-        // fixed integer vectors, Q0 = sum of their outer products.
+        // Build a deliberately rank-deficient (rank ≤ 3) PSD Gram matrix:
+        // three fixed integer vectors, Q0 = sum of their outer products.

As per coding guidelines, "Run cargo test --workspace for Rust unit, proptest, and doctest" — these diagnostics run on every such invocation.

Guard or document sum_of_squares(0)

sum_of_squares(0) returns the zero polynomial, so the doc claim about strict positivity is false for this input. The SOS entry points reject empty vars, and certificate verification rejects a zero multiplier. This does not create the stated soundness failure. Add an unconditional assert!(nvars > 0) or document the zero-variable behavior explicitly.

var silently returns the constant 1 for an out-of-range index.

If i >= n_params, the guard leaves exp all-zero and the function still inserts coefficient 1. The result is the constant polynomial 1, not a parameter. A caller with an off-by-one index then computes gcds, degeneracy conditions, and specializations against a different ideal, with no signal.

Fail loudly instead, since n_params is always known at the call site.

Mathlib 4 positivity tactic use hypotheses prove 0 < x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 when x is nonzero

💡 Result:

To prove 0 < x^2 + y^2 when x is nonzero using the positivity tactic in Mathlib 4, you can provide the necessary non-negativity or positivity hypotheses directly to the tactic [1][2]. The positivity tactic works recursively by attempting to prove that subexpressions are positive, non-negative, or non-zero [1]. When an expression like x^2 + y^2 is encountered, the tactic often requires hints to know that x^2 is non-negative and, given x ≠ 0, that x^2 is strictly positive [1][3]. Since x^2 is non-negative for any x, and strictly positive when x ≠ 0, you can use the syntax positivity [h] to pass the required proofs [1]. Example: example {x y: ℝ} (hx: x ≠ 0): 0 < x ^ 2 + y ^ 2:= by positivity [pow_two_pos_of_ne_zero hx] In this example, pow_two_pos_of_ne_zero hx provides the proof that 0 < x^2, which allows the positivity tactic to complete the proof for the entire expression [1][2]. If y^2 is simply non-negative (which is automatic for squares), positivity handles it internally, but the explicit strict inequality for at least one term is necessary to establish the strict positivity of the sum [1]. Alternatively, you can use the bound tactic, which is also designed to handle such inequalities by recursively using hypotheses [4][5]. example {x y: ℝ} (hx: x ≠ 0): 0 < x ^ 2 + y ^ 2:= by bound [pow_two_pos_of_ne_zero hx]

Make multiplier Lean emission typecheck.

lean_multiplier_block uses positivity for a strict sum-of-squares goal without deriving strict positivity from hz/h0. lean_case_split also emits bullets at inconsistent indentation levels. Derive strict positivity from the branch’s nonzero hypothesis and generate consistent Lean indentation. Add a test with multiplier: Some(...) that typechecks the emitted source with the pinned Mathlib toolchain; current tests cover only multiplier: None.

The m == 0 branch cannot produce the solution set it documents.

ncols comes from rows.first(), so when rows is empty ncols is always 0. The branch then returns an empty particular and an empty nullspace, not "every coordinate is free". A caller that passes no constraints for an n-column system receives a 0-dimensional answer and silently loses n free parameters.

The current caller (psd::gram_system) always emits at least one row, so nothing is broken today. Either take the column count as a parameter, or state in the doc comment that an empty rows means a zero-column system.

Reject var from a different ExprPool.

py_cyclotomic_polynomial uses var.id with pool without checking pool identity. A variable from another pool can produce an incorrect polynomial without an error. Add a pool check consistent with the other bindings.

Correct the documented degeneracy conditions.

a*x - y has leading coefficient a, so the computation records a when it makes this generator monic. The condition set includes both a and a + 1. The current example incorrectly suggests that specialize([0]) is regular.

Update the example to show that conditions() includes both factors and that specialization at 0 also raises E-PARAMGB-004. The changelog already states that a = 0 is conservatively flagged.

Proposed fix
-gb.conditions()                # [a + 1] — hypersurfaces the basis assumed non-zero
+gb.conditions()                # includes a and a + 1

Fix the stated scale factor.

The coefficient pairs are (constant, n-coefficient), so shifting [(-2, -4), (1, 1)] to start at u(n+7) gives (-30-4n) and (8+n). Multiplying that by +2 produces [(-60, -8), (16, 2)], which is the snippet. A factor of −2 would produce [(60, 8), (-16, -2)].

The claim_hash equality on line 25 still holds, because the normal form fixes the sign. Only the comment is wrong.

Update the three places that still describe the search as LP-only.

The search now covers the DSOS LP, the full PSD Gram cone, and a Reznick multiplier stage. Three statements written for the LP-only search are now stale:

  • Line 51 of this file: "this search — the LP-representable subcone described below". Stages 2 and 3 are not LP-representable.
  • Line 160 of this file: the comparison table gives the cost of this route as "LP in exact rationals". It is now an LP plus a floating-point search with exact rational verification.
  • alkahest-core/src/errors/codes.rs line 244, the E-SOS-002 remediation: "the search covers the diagonally dominant subcone". This is user-visible error text, so a caller reading it will understand the refusal more narrowly than it is.

When groebner is absent, the suppressed import leaves both names undefined. from alkahest.experimental import * then raises AttributeError. Append the names only when the import succeeds, or define fallbacks that raise ImportError.

The confirmation gate is vacuous when an entry carries few terms.

Line 917 compares against min(_MIN_CONFIRMATIONS, len(self.terms) - claim.order). If len(self.terms) <= claim.order, that bound is 0 or negative, so confirmations = 0 still passes and the parsed statement enters the index unchecked. The docstring states the opposite: a line is believed only once it reproduces the entry's own terms.

A mis-parsed prose line on a short entry can then produce a recorded verdict and suppress a real result. Require at least one confirmation.

🐛 Proposed fix
-                confirmations = claim.confirmations(self.terms, start=self.offset)
-                if confirmations < min(_MIN_CONFIRMATIONS, len(self.terms) - claim.order):
+                confirmations = claim.confirmations(self.terms, start=self.offset)
+                # A statement is only believed once it reproduces the entry's own
+                # data. An entry with too few terms to check cannot confirm
+                # anything, so it must not confirm everything either.
+                required = min(_MIN_CONFIRMATIONS, len(self.terms) - claim.order)
+                if required < 1 or confirmations < required:
                     unusable.append(statement)
                     continue

In `@python/alkahest/experimental/novelty.py` around lines 905 - 929, Update the
confirmation gate in _scanned so its required threshold is never below one,
including when len(self.terms) is less than or equal to claim.order. Reject
statements with zero confirmations and preserve the existing usable/unusable
handling for confirmed claims.

cargo-semver-checks correctly flagged the previous commit: adding a
`multiplier` field to PositivityCertificate — a fully-public,
exhaustively-constructible struct — is a breaking change regardless of the
field's own visibility. Confirmed empirically against three attempts (a
pub field, #[non_exhaustive], and a pub(crate)/private field), each
tripping a different but equivalent cargo-semver-checks lint.

Fix: don't store it. `multiplier()` is now a method that re-derives the
answer by brute-force search over the known-small N range (does
target·(Σxᵢ²)^N equal the re-expanded identity, for N up to the search's
own budget) — the same "recompute, never trust the search" discipline
verify() already applies everywhere else in this module. Adding a method
is never a semver break.

Confirmed locally: `cargo semver-checks check-release -p alkahest-cas
--baseline-rev origin/main --only-explicit-features --features groebner`
now passes (223/223 checks, no update required). Full test suite, clippy,
and rustdoc all clean.
