…the trust gate off 3.9.0's trust fix made `relation_confidence` tri-state and wired `E-PSLQ-004` into `guess_relation`, but `_supplied_bits` classified the input by *type* — and four ordinary conversions change the type without changing the value (autoresearch run 2026-08-19, issue #4, High). `guess_relation([float(pi), float(e), float(log 2)])` refused; `guess_relation([mpf(x) for x in the same floats])` at `mp.dps = 300` returned the exact spurious relation the release was written to refuse, `[-60771139, 67263243, 11653676]`, with `credible=True` and 277 "spare" digits. And `relation_confidence([Fraction(str(x)) for x in floats], that relation)` reported `credible=True, precision_source='exact'` for a relation whose exact residual is 1.1e-9 — a refutable claim, certified. Three changes, in `python/alkahest/__init__.py`: - `mpmath.mpf` is now *unknown* precision rather than `value.context.prec`. That attribute is the ambient `mp.dps` at the moment of asking, not a property of the value, so the same objects judged before and after an unrelated `mp.dps = 300` got opposite verdicts. Accuracy is not recoverable from the object either — every `mpf` is exactly a dyadic rational — which is why the mantissa-bitcount fix is wrong: it reports 0.30 digits for `mpf(1), mpf(2), mpf(3)` and refutes the true relation `[1, 1, -1]`. An `mpf` is now treated exactly as a decimal string is, and `digits=` is how a caller declares better. - Exact inputs are *evaluated* rather than assumed. `available_digits` is `inf` on the `exact` branch, so no affordability test could fire and `credible=True` was unfalsifiable there. `Σ aᵢ·cᵢ` is now computed in exact `Fraction` arithmetic for `int`/`Fraction` constants; a nonzero residual refutes the relation (new `exact_residual` key on the verdict dict) and `guess_relation` raises the new `E-PSLQ-005`, a refutation rather than a precision complaint. - `guess_relation` gained the `digits=` escape hatch it was missing. `digits=` rescued `relation_confidence`, but on `guess_relation` `precision_bits` is the width of the *search*, so the entry point that raises `E-PSLQ-004` had no way for a caller who knows their input precision to be judged at all. Keyword-only and additive; no Rust surface changed, so semver-checks is unaffected. Also item 26n: the cost formula `n·log10(H)` collapses to 0 at `H = 1`, so a relation with unit coefficients was free however many constants it spanned. Coefficients bounded by `H` select one of `(2H+1)ⁿ` integer vectors, so the cost is `n·log10(2H+1)`; a 40-term ±1 relation now costs ~19 digits instead of 0. The refuted half of 26n — "it never evaluates the relation it is judging" — is left alone: affordability remains the contract, and evaluation now happens only on the exact branch, where it is the only thing that can decide. Item 26o: `E-PSLQ-*` had zero occurrences under `docs/`. All five codes are now in `docs/mdbook/src/errors.md`, in the per-class table, the refusals table and the subsystem axis. Regression tests in `tests/test_relation_precision_guard.py` (54 total, 23 of them failing before this change): the `mpf` lift at `mp.dps = 300`; the ambient-precision dependence, asserted as *equality* of the verdict across `mp.dps`; each of `Fraction(str(x))`, `Fraction(Decimal(repr(x)))` and a 20-digit `nstr` truncation reporting a false relation and being refused; the `mpf(1), mpf(2), mpf(3) → [1, 1, -1]` guard against the known-wrong fix; the `H = 1` cost formula; and the new escape hatch on `guess_relation`.

…a q-recurrence, cross-check terms Four false-red / coverage defects in the M11 novelty filter (autoresearch 2026-08-19, issues #23, #24, #25, #26q), all visible at once in a single symptom: the filter returned `not_found` for the Fibonacci recurrence against A000045, from 25 candidate lines of which 0 were usable. #24 — the recurrence lives in the entry's *name*, `Fibonacci numbers: F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2)`, which nothing read. `OeisEntry.candidate_lines()` now puts the name first; the parser accepts any single letter as the sequence, accepts an identifier passed as `RecurrenceClaim.from_text(..., names=…)` (the entry's own A-number, passed automatically by `_scanned`), and reads juxtaposition as multiplication (`2a(n-2)`). One line may still name only one sequence, so `a(n) = a(n-1) + A002026(n-1)` is refused exactly as before, and every parsed line is still held to reproducing the entry's own terms. Measured over the 377-entry live corpus the run used: 156 -> 252 lines parsed, 121 -> 195 usable statements, 114 -> 174 entries with at least one. #23 — `fmt=json` returns at most ten results with no total count, and `OeisWeb` reported `exhaustive=True` after one page, collapsing `unavailable` into `not_found`. A `terms=` search now continues at `&start=` until a short page arrives (exhaustive; recorded in the cache as a complete answer) or `max_results` is reached (not exhaustive; deliberately *not* recorded, since a truncated page list stored under that key becomes a false negative on every later offline run). `max_results` defaults to 50. An `ids=` lookup is not paged and stays exhaustive after one request, which was always correct. #25 — `QRecurrenceClaim`: normal form, `claim_hash` and equality for `Sum_i c_i(q, q^n)*u(n+i) = 0`, coefficients in Q(q, q^n) cleared to Laurent polynomials. Scale, index shift (which acts on the coefficients, since n -> n+1 sends q^n to q*q^n), a common monomial or polynomial factor, and zero padding are quotiented out; the tag is `q-recurrence/1` against `recurrence/1`, so the hash spaces cannot collide. No source here can state one, so `check_novelty` reports OEIS sources as `unavailable` for it rather than manufacturing a negative — sources declare what they can state with `CLAIM_KINDS`. #26q — `terms=` was lookup-only. It is now also checked against the claim, on the same lenient trailing-window rule a source's own formula line must pass: `NoveltyVerdict.terms_check` is "holds"/"fails"/"not_checked" and appears in `report()`. `check_novelty` takes `start=`, meaning exactly what `RecurrenceClaim.holds_for`'s `start` means; it is never sent to a source. Tests are offline. `tests/data/oeis_novelty_fixture.json` gains A000045 and its `id:A000045` query; `tests/data/oeis_paging_fixture.json` is new — raw `search?...&fmt=json` pages keyed "query|start", served to `OeisWeb` through a fake transport so the paging behaviour is covered without the network.

…ph layer Autoresearch 2026-08-19 issues #18-#22 and 26m. #22 `RecurrenceClaim.from_text` collapsed shift gaps. `_parse_relation` returns a sparse `{shift: coefficient}` map and the constructor reads its list positionally, so passing the values at the *sorted* keys closed every gap: `a(n) = a(n-1) + a(n-3)` and `a(n) = a(n-2) + a(n-4)` both produced the Fibonacci `claim_hash` (`clm_8023cee0d17e234d`) verbatim. Fill the window densely with explicit zeros. Measured over the run's 377-entry live OEIS corpus: 33 gapped lines, all 33 recovered, one of them a Fibonacci collision. It was a 21% false-red loss of parsed statements, never a forging hazard -- a mangled reading still has to reproduce the entry's own terms to be indexed. #20 `verify()` bound every free symbol to the same sample value, putting the evaluation on the diagonal `x = y = z`, where `sin(x)cos(y) = sin(y)cos(x)` and `x + y = 2x` are both true and came back `numeric_ok` with `|residual| <= 0`. Offset each symbol by its rank in sorted name order, so the point is off the diagonal and the single-symbol case is unchanged. A sample an offset pushes out of a domain is skipped and reported; none evaluating is `inconclusive`, not a verdict. The detail string no longer implies the points were independent. #21 `verify()` cast high-precision decimal constants to `float`, so an exact relation given at 60 digits (alpha a root of 5144503108x^2 - 5945642943x + 1) picked up a 9.5e-7 rounding residual against a true 6.7e-52 and, with `mark_refuted=True` the default, was marked `refuted` -- the only place in the graph machinery where `verify()` destroyed a true claim. Compute the `numeric_relation` residual exactly in `Fraction`, propagate each input's own half-ulp, and decide from where the band `|R| +- U` sits relative to the tolerance: inside is `numeric_ok`, outside is `failed`, straddling is `inconclusive` ("not enough digits to decide"). This also catches the mirror false green (exact residual 1, float residual 0). #18 `record(result, statement=X)` transplanted a machine-checked status onto arbitrary prose: `record(integrate(sin(x), x), statement="0 = 1")` was `exactly_verified`, `machine_checked`, `[VERIFIED]`. A caller-supplied statement without a `check` recipe no longer inherits a machine-checked status; it is badged `asserted` / `[ASSERTED, UNCHECKED]` with the result's own status kept under `verification["result_status"]`. Assertions the engine renders itself (`_infer_assertion`, the capture path) are unaffected. `smt.md` and `tests/test_smt.py` shipped exactly the flagged pattern and are updated to record the result as itself. #19 Re-recording a statement dropped the second record's `check` recipe, so the one supported way to link a statement to its evidence was a no-op: `verify()` reported `skipped` in one order and `refuted` in the other. `ClaimGraph.add` now adopts a recipe the stored claim lacks; an existing one is never overwritten. 26m `_HEDGE_RE` missed "It appears that", "seems that", "Probably", "believed", "verified up to n" -- each the same statement about the same epistemic status as "conjecture". `claim-graphs.md` gains the `numeric_ok` sampling caveat, the precision caveat and its escape hatch, the `asserted` rule and the recipe-merge rule; `smt.md` gains the corrected recording pattern.

… its verdict tri-state, and stop refusing a basis `guess_holonomic` absorbed a corrupted term into roots of the leading coefficient and still reported `confirmed=True`. A single typo in an otherwise order-2/degree-1 sequence is fitted, at the *default* `max_degree = 4`, by multiplying the true operator by the cubic vanishing at exactly the three indices whose equations the typo breaks — and the result came back with `dimension` 1, 55 surplus equations and no untested candidates, every number a caller reads to judge a fit looking perfect. Scoped fairly: this is not unsoundness. The returned relation satisfies every equation the terms supplied, and it holds on the *clean* sequence too, being a left multiple of the true operator, so no re-check can catch it. What it is not is the sequence's recurrence, and the tell is that its leading coefficient has roots inside the data, where every coefficient vanishes at once, the equation reads `0 = 0` and the fit was therefore unconstrained. * `GuessedRecurrence.singular_indices` is a first-class field carrying exactly those indices — the same name and meaning as `ModularEvaluation.singular_indices`, with the difference that a modular evaluation must refuse (`E-HOLO-007`) where a fit can be returned and flagged. Computed by exact Horner evaluation over the indices the fit's own equations were written at. * `GuessedRecurrence.status` names the verdict from the closed vocabulary `GUESS_STATUSES` (`confirmed` / `singular` / `underdetermined` / `unconfirmed`), glossed by `GUESS_STATUS_MEANINGS` and `.means`, in the shape `experimental.NoveltyVerdict.status` uses. `confirmed` is correspondingly `True` / `False` / `None`, the discipline `relation_confidence`'s `credible` already had — and which `novelty.py`'s module docstring already claimed this attribute had. * `dimension > 1` returns `GuessedRecurrence.basis`, the whole solution space, instead of raising. That refusal made the `(order, degree)` cell unusable and closed OEIS A277060 entirely, though `zeilberger` decides it immediately. Only a fit that consumed its own evidence is still refused (`E-HOLO-005`). The guard is unchanged in the direction it was built for: ten non-P-recursive sequences still answer `None` after a full sweep, and too few terms still raises `E-HOLO-005` naming the shortfall. Also in the same surface: * `supercongruence_sweep` records `E-HOLO-006` in `skipped()` instead of raising it out of the sweep, when it is `p**(k + extra_precision)` past the machine-word ceiling — the same "out of reach of this backend" that `E-HOLO-008` was already recorded for. Propagating it destroyed every residue already computed. The *other* `E-HOLO-006`, a composite in `primes`, is a fact about the call and still raises; it is now decided up front so the two halves can be told apart. * `experimental.asymptotics_from_recurrence` takes `n` optionally, from the new `ZeilbergerCertificate.n` getter or from a pool made on the spot for integer coefficients. A foreign `n` was an uncoded `PoolError` from several frames inside the coefficient walk; it is now `E-POOL-001` naming the argument and the fix. * `zeilberger(minimal=True)` is documented as establishing minimality *at certificate degree `<= max_degree`* rather than "genuinely minimal". Documentation only; a sweep of seven families found no counterexample. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…orem on The verdict was a bare tag with an implied "for every n" attached to it, and that quantifier was false in two ways. Empty ranges. F = C(n,k)^2 over limits=(5, 3) -- an empty range, so every S(n) is 0 -- returned boundary="nonzero", implies_sum_recurrence=True and a degree-9 b(n) whose residual sum_i a_i(n)*S(n+i) - b(n) ran 4, 107, 800, 2725, 2450, -23716, -162288 at n = 3..9: a valid certificate implying a false recurrence for the sum, the class of defect this verdict exists to close. The cause is that k_hi < k_lo - 1 makes the declared range run backwards, where a sum is 0 under the empty-sum reading and a signed sum under the reversed-sum one, and every piece of the boundary analysis silently used the second. The realistic form is n-dependent and worse: limits=(3, n-3) is empty at n = 3, 4 and a range after, so the returned b(n) was wrong at exactly the n a loop reaches first. `boundary_verdict` now returns the verdict together with `valid_from`, the smallest n it is claimed for -- 5 for k = 3..n-3, checked against the sum -- and a range that runs backwards at every n, or at every large n, is Unknown: there is no domain left to claim it on. k_hi = k_lo - 1 (k = 0..-1, k = n+1..n), the one empty range both readings agree is 0, keeps its "vanishes", which is what the two treatments disagreeing was. `boundary_status` keeps its signature and fails safe: a verdict false at some n >= 0 comes back as Unknown naming the restriction. Interior poles. C(n,k)/(n-2k+1) over k = 0..n returned "vanishes" although S(n) is undefined for every odd n and the certificate itself has a pole at k = (n+3)/2, an integer strictly inside the range -- so the telescoping breaks in the middle of the sum, where neither boundary value can see it. Those points are searched for (rational roots of the summand's and G's denominators on a bounded grid at two sample n, then verified exactly over Q(n), then order-counted to drop the ones a gamma zero cancels), reported in `certificate_poles`, and the verdict is Unknown when there are any. The same closes C(n,k)/(k-3) over k = 0..n, whose sum does not exist for n >= 3. Verdicts that were already right are unchanged and now have guard tests: the 0-times-infinity endpoint continuation C(n,k)/(n-k+1) over k = 0..n (a certificate pole exactly at k = k_hi+1, cancelled by a zero of the summand), negative-slope lower limits, and every classical natural-boundary identity. Both new fields are additive: BoundaryVerdict is a new non_exhaustive struct alongside the unchanged BoundaryStatus, and cargo semver-checks reports no semver update required.

… the box Two critical soundness bugs in `ArbBall`, both the same mistake: evaluate at the endpoints, take the hull, assume monotonicity. `tan` guarded its pole with an `f64` `v % π` test at the two endpoints plus "`tan(lo) > tan(hi)` means we crossed one". Neither sees a box that crosses a pole and comes back out in increasing order: `tan` over `[0.1, 3.3415926535897933]` was reported as `[0.1003…, 0.2027…]` while `tan(1.5) = 14.101…` and `1.5` is in the box. The pole test is now an enclosure of `cos` over the same box — the rule `validated::taylor::TaylorModel::tan` already applies one module over, and the one that actually proves the box lies inside a single branch. A box that fails it widens to `[-∞, ∞]`, which is what `tan` does there. `pow_f` hulled the four corners of `[lo_b, hi_b] × [lo_e, hi_e]`, which encloses the range only where `x ↦ x^y` is monotone in `x`. Its guard admitted a negative base with an integer-valued exponent, where it is not: `x**2.0` over `[-1, 3]` claimed `[1, 9]`, missing `x = 0`, and `x**-2.0` claimed the *finite* `[0.111…, 1]` for a function unbounded on the box. The corner hull is now kept only for a base that stays `≥ 0`; a base reaching 0 or below routes through `powi`, which assumes no monotonicity and returns `∞` when its reciprocal step straddles zero. Audited the rest of the module for the same pattern and fixed what it turned up: * `add_rounding_error` bumped by `|mid|·2^-prec`, covering the rounding of `mid` and nothing else. Every kernel that also rounds its `rad` — each endpoint hull, `cosh`, `erf`, `Mul` — could report a ball an ulp narrower than the truth, and where the radius dwarfs the midpoint that ulp is the whole error. It now bumps by `(|mid| + rad)·2^-(prec-3)`. * `lo()`/`hi()` rounded `mid ∓ rad` to *nearest*, handing every kernel a bound strictly inside the interval. They now round outward. * The monotone kernels (`exp`, `log`, `sqrt`, `sinh`, `cosh`, `tanh`, the inverse trig/hyperbolic family, `digamma`) and the `Div` corner hull now evaluate at `prec + 32` and reduce once, outward, through `from_endpoints`. * `erf`/`erfc` rounded their Lipschitz constant `2/√π` to nearest; a Lipschitz constant rounded down is not one. Rounded up. * `digamma` rejected its pole by walking *every* integer in the box — 10^18 iterations on `[1, 1e18]` — and evaluated at `f64`-reduced endpoints, which moves them inside the box. Now an O(1) test on the smallest integer in the box, evaluated at full precision. Regression tests, each verified to fail before the change: four in `ball::rounding_soundness_tests` (the two bugs, a tightness guard so the fix cannot be "return ∞ always", a 200-interval random sweep over 22 kernels sampling from the balls' own endpoints, and the digamma pole test), and three in `tests/test_ball_enclosure_soundness.py` — that file bound only *point* balls, which is why neither bug was reachable from it.

…inters
`str`, `latex` and `unicode_str` all rendered `(-1)^n` as `-1^n`, which under
standard precedence — Python's, sympy's, LaTeX's, and this crate's own parser's
(`BP_UNARY` < `BP_POW`) — means `-(1^n) = -1`. Nothing internal was wrong;
only the exported text was, and it was wrong in the place that hurts most:
an M1 boundary inhomogeneity handed to a caller for external checking.
`b(n) = -16·(-2)^n` printed as `-16 * -2^n`, worth -64 at n=2 inside alkahest
and +16 once re-parsed — enough to make an audit harness report a correct
engine as unsound.
The three printers now agree that a base binding looser than `^` needs
parentheses:
* `display.rs` gains `PREC_NEG` (25, mirroring the parser's `BP_UNARY`) and
`literal_prec`, so a rendered literal carrying a leading `-` no longer
claims `PREC_ATOM`. LaTeX/Unicode rationals drop to `PREC_MUL` as well —
a fraction is a quotient, not an atom — except for the Unicode
vulgar-fraction glyphs (`½`), which are.
* `pool.rs` gains `fmt_pow_base`, which wraps anything `fmt_pow_atom` wraps
plus any base rendering with a leading `-`.
Deliberately unchanged: negative *exponents* (`x^-1`) stay bare, since `^` is
right-associative and unary minus binds looser, so no ambiguity is possible;
and `parse` itself, which was applying standard precedence correctly to the
bad string it was handed.
Regression tests: `tests/test_printer_roundtrip.py` checks
`sympify(str(e).replace("^","**"))`, `parse(str(e))`, `latex` and
`unicode_str` over negative, fractional, sum, product, negative-exponent and
nested-power bases; `display.rs` and `pool.rs` gain unit tests for the same.
Before the fix 4 of the 7 new Rust tests and 24 of the 58 new Python tests
fail; after, all pass, as does `cargo test --workspace` and `pytest tests/`.

…in claim Retracts a false mathematical claim recorded in five places and pinned by a passing test, and lands the search fix behind it. ## The false claim (issue #28) The previous round recorded that the homogeneous ternary Motzkin form requires multiplier power N=2, and called reaching it "a genuine, quantified numerical-hardness finding". The premise is false: (x²+y²+z²)(x⁴y²+x²y⁴−3x²y²z²+z⁶) = (½x³y+xy³−3⁄2xyz²)² + ¾(x³y−xyz²)² + (xy²z−xz³)² + (x²yz−yz³)² + (x²y²−z⁴)² This identity is precisely why Motzkin is the standard example of a PSD non-SOS form that becomes SOS after one factor of Σxᵢ². Re-verified here by exact rational expansion and independently in sympy before any edit. `psd_search_does_not_yet_reach_homogeneous_motzkin_times_sum_of_squares` asserted `is_none()`, *passed*, and its comment said the refusal was "expected to stay None permanently" — so CI defended the bug. It is replaced by its contrapositive, `psd_search_certifies_homogeneous_motzkin_times_sum_of_squares_at_n1`, which passes. The claim is corrected in positivity.md, alkahest-skill/alkahest.md and CHANGELOG.md (retraction kept alongside the original text so the reasoning is not re-derived); the planning doc is corrected in the temp-alkahest repo. ## The search fix (issue #29) `psd_search` did no half-Newton-polytope reduction. Reznick: if p = Σqᵢ² then Newton(qᵢ) ⊆ ½·Newton(p) for every i, so restricting the Gram basis to the lattice points of ½·Newton(p) is complete, not heuristic. `half_newton_reduce` decides membership exactly over Q with the module's own rational simplex. This is a *dimension* reduction and nothing else. On σ·Motzkin_hom it cuts the basis 15 → 9 and the family 75 → 18 parameters; on both bases the certificate is the unique PSD point, rank 5, λ_min exactly 0, so λ_min does not distinguish them — what changes is that the numeric solution lands *on* the certificate instead of ~0.96 away from it in parameter space. More Douglas-Rachford does not substitute. Robinson (15 → 15) is the guard case and is asserted unchanged. Measured, same host and load, psd_search alone: σ·Motzkin_hom N=1 123.0 s refuse -> 3.7 s certificate σ·Choi-Lam N=1 549.6 s refuse -> 21.1 s certificate σ·Robinson N=1 54.0 s cert -> 50.2 s certificate (unchanged) ## The silent ceilings (issues #31, 26h, 26g) Three budgets converted "we did not look" into a verdict that reads like "we looked and found nothing", all producing the same bare E-SOS-002: - MAX_FREE_PARAMETERS (200) dropped whole families with nothing logged. For the Horn/C₅ form that meant *no multiplier power was ever searched* (N=1 has 420 free parameters), so its refusal was not a search result. Now logged as NOT SEARCHED, and applied before `solve_affine` using pack_len(n) − rows as a dimension lower bound — C₇'s N=1 was paying for a 924x3570 exact Gauss-Jordan that was then discarded. - MAX_MULTIPLIER_BASIS_LEN (90) compared the *unreduced* monomial_basis count. C₇'s N=1 was rejected at 120 > 90 though its real basis is 84. Now uses psd::searched_basis_len, and logs both numbers. - The refusal text said "no Reznick multiplier up to N=4 made σ·p SOS within the search budget", implying four powers were tried. Now "that was actually searched", with the full trace appended and reachable via the new SosError::search_trace / hit_a_search_ceiling accessors (additive, semver-clean — no new enum variant). C₇ end to end: 1294.0 s -> 783.6 s, refusal unchanged but now fully traced. Also: SosOpts::basis_degree now reaches multiplier_search, which derived its basis degree from deg(σ·p) alone and never read the option — so the path was bit-identical at every setting while E-SOS-002 told callers to raise it. And a doc comment on symmetry_reduced_search claiming Douglas-Rachford "reliably closes the gap", citing a test that never existed, is corrected. ## Still open Horn/C₅ and C₇ at N=1. Their Newton polytopes are already full, so the reduction does not help, and their families (420 and 2646 free parameters) are above the numeric-search ceiling. Closing them needs an interior-point SDP solve, which must run on the reduced family. This is now reported rather than hidden. Verified: cargo fmt, clippy -D warnings, cargo test --workspace (2290 passed, 0 failed), pytest tests/test_sos.py (13 passed), tests/test_error_code_registry.py + tests/silent_errors/ (328 passed).

…ore verified_sign monotonicity; make the searches interruptible Four findings from the 2026-08-19 autoresearch run, all in the validated-bounds surface. #11 (High) — `verified_integral` refused bounded, continuous integrands and called them "singular". `asin`/`acos`, `sqrt(1-x^2)`, `sqrt(x)`, `x^x`, `(1-cos x)/x^2` and `(x-1)/log x` on [0,1] all came back E-VALIDATED-003 "the integrand is singular at the right endpoint", which for `asin` — value pi/2 there — is not a conservative approximation but a false statement. The refusal was identical across a full order x prec x tol x max_subdivisions sweep and one ulp wide. Every Taylor-model rule needs a derivative bound, and asin/sqrt/log/recip have none at the end of their domain, so no model exists on the last panel however far it is bisected. Such a panel is now closed with a derivative-free `width x range` bound, the range from directed-rounding interval arithmetic over the extended reals (new private `validated::interval`). Endpoints stay exact — `1 - x^2` on [1-h,1] hits `[0, ...]` on the nose instead of dipping below sqrt's domain — and unboundedness is representable, so `log([0,h]) = [-inf, log h]` composes with the factor that tames it and `x^x = exp(x log x)` comes out in [0,1]. The same bound is also used to narrow a panel the Taylor model covers badly, which is what keeps the quadrature inside its subdivision budget near such a boundary; and the descent now stops at the existing width floor rather than running away into it. Separately, `RemovableQuotient::piece` now iterates Cauchy's mean value theorem, which is what `(1-cos x)/x^2` needs. Unbounded integrands have no bounded range and still refuse: -log x, (log x)^2, 1/sqrt(x), 1/sqrt(1-x^2), log(x) log(1-x), 1/x and sin(x)/x^2. The refusal message no longer calls a finite integrand singular; it names the rule that stopped and keeps the "no enclosure exists" vs "the integral does not exist" distinction. #12 (Medium) — `verified_sign` was not monotone in the box. The endpoint collar is only strong when the box endpoint *is* the tight point, so a dead band of left endpoints from ~1e-300 to 1e-9 answered `undecided` between two `true` regions: shrinking a box lost a proof. An `undecided` 1-D box stopping short of x = 0 is retried with the collar planted at 0; `true` on the superset implies `true` on the box, and only `true` is taken. Tightness elsewhere still shows the effect and is now documented. 26i (Medium) — the four validated entry points were uninterruptible from Python: a `signal.setitimer(60)` around a 109.9 s `verified_sign` fired at 182.8 s. Releasing the GIL is not enough, because CPython runs a main-thread signal handler only between bytecodes. The call now runs on a scoped worker thread while the calling thread polls `PyErr_CheckSignals` every 25 ms; a pending signal sets the cooperative cancellation flag, and the searches check it at every subdivision and wind down exactly as an exhausted `max_subdivisions` does — wider answer, sooner, never a wrong one. A 3 s timer now fires at 3 s. 26j (Medium, docs) — `bounds_supported`'s docstring and `docs/mdbook/src/validated-bounds.md` still listed bessel_j0, bessel_j1, digamma, lambert_w and gamma as outside Taylor-model coverage; all five were covered in 3.9.0. Verified against the build and corrected in both places, with the example moved to `floor`. A test asserts the live answer so the prose cannot drift again unnoticed. Verification: cargo test --workspace (2298 core tests), clippy -D warnings and cargo fmt clean; tests/test_validated_bounds.py 107 passed (23 of them fail against the pre-fix build, checked by stashing); the R4 fuzzers unchanged (fuzz_ball_trim 51788 samples / 5 failures, all the known ArbBall::tan one; fuzz_composition_notan 4000 trials / 0 failures); and 1209 random `verified_integral` enclosures checked against mpmath with no containment failure.

…connect parametric elimination to rosenfeld_groebner Five defects from the 2026-08-19 autoresearch run (#8, #13, #14, #16, #17), plus three prolongation bugs found while wiring #16 — without which the composition #16 asks for returns relations the system does not imply. #8 — `ParametricGroebnerBasis.contains` / `.reduce` rejected their own `to_exprs()` output. The basis lives in `Q(params)[vars]`, so its generators carry `den**-1` factors in the parameters by construction, and the membership entry points routed them through the denominator-free `Expr -> GbPoly` conversion. New `expr_to_param_gbpoly` converts straight to `ParamGbPoly`, treating a negative power whose base is free of the ring variables as what it is: an element of the coefficient field. A denominator in a *ring variable* is still refused. `equals_ideal` / `contains_ideal` answer the question the issue says a loop actually needs — exactly, over the fraction field, with neither basis's `conditions()` entering the answer. #14 — `specialize(values, verify=True)` re-solves the specialised system over Q and compares, instead of refusing on the recorded conditions alone. `conditions()` is sufficient but not necessary, so a quarter to a half of refusals on small-integer grids are unnecessary. Reproduced the run's oracle exactly on its own 8-system {-2..2} sweep: 646 refused, 334 now returned, 312 still refused (239 genuine poles + 73 necessary). Completeness only — the refusals were separately verified sound, and the default path is unchanged. #16 — `rosenfeld_groebner(dae, params=[...])` raised `TypeError`. `rosenfeld_groebner_parametric` runs the prolongation loop over `Q(params)` and returns a `ParametricRosenfeldGroebnerResult`. #13 — `eliminate=[...]` plus `minimal=True`, and a `UserWarning` when an earlier round would have done. On SIR: 0.03s and one 4-term relation at the first informative round, against no result in ten minutes one round later. `minimal_prolongation_rounds` is documented as a cost signal, not a certificate — it is known to be wrong for multi-output models. #17 — one sentence, with its hypothesis: an IO-elimination route answers multi-experiment identifiability, by Ovchinnikov-Pillay-Pogudin-Scanlon (arXiv:2004.07774) Theorem 19, which requires the IO equations to be the characteristic presentation of `I_Sigma ∩ C(theta){y,u}` — something a lex elimination at a hand-picked jet order does not guarantee. Prolongation, found on the way to #16 and fixed because #16 is meaningless otherwise: * `differentiate_equation` counted a promoted derivative twice, once from its own state pair and once from the pair the previous round added; * a jet that was never promoted had its contribution dropped, because the next differentiation treated it as a constant. On `R' = I, I' = -I` the two together force `I = 0`; * the jet ranking was recomputed each round and is not append-only that way, so a jet reachable only through the previous round's equations could drop out and shift every later exponent slot under already-padded polynomials. On the issue log's own `x' = a*x` repro this dropped the input equation from the basis and replaced it with `x*x'' - x'`. Regression tests fail before and pass after: 16 new Python tests in tests/test_parametric_groebner.py, 9 new Rust tests in parametric.rs and diffalg/mod.rs. `cargo test --workspace --features "parallel egraph cranelift groebner"` 2292 passed / 0 failed; `pytest tests/` 3439 passed / 61 skipped; clippy clean; `cargo semver-checks` reports no semver update required.

…26-08-19 # Conflicts: # CHANGELOG.md
… abort 2026-08-19 issues #5, #10 and 26d — three resource gaps, one theme: the engines could not say "no". #5 (High). `telescope_md` on the m = 4 multinomial, **at its own default arguments**, ran ~20 minutes and then died with `GNU MP: Cannot allocate memory (size=8)` and a core dump. Two more subsystems reached the same end by different routes and with a second allocator. There was no exception, no `BudgetExceededError`, no `try`/`except` that could help, and no memory analogue of `Budget.wall_ms` — so an unattended loop lost the whole interpreter and every result it was holding, not just the offending call. This cannot be fixed inside the allocator, and the commit does not pretend otherwise. GMP's contract for a replacement allocation function forbids returning NULL — the library has no failure path to take — and a Rust `panic!` may not cross a C frame. What a replacement *can* do soundly is count. `budget::memory` wraps GMP's own allocation functions (delegating to them, never allocating, never unwinding, never returning NULL where they would not) and maintains a live-byte total; the refusal then happens in ordinary Rust at Alkahest's own cooperative checkpoints, *before* the allocation that would have died. Two ceilings feed those checkpoints: * `Budget(max_bytes=...)` / `budget::enter_with_memory` (`E-BUDGET-004`) — the size budget the engines were missing. Their existing ceilings bound the *shape* of a linear system (how many unknowns); it is the *size of its numbers* that exhausts memory. * the address-space guard (`E-BUDGET-005`), which needs **no budget at all**: under a finite `RLIMIT_AS` (`ulimit -v`, a container limit) the process refuses within a reserve of its own limit. The operator already said how much the process may have, and stopping inside that number is strictly better than dying at it — which is what makes the default-arguments case survivable. What remains, stated plainly: the guard is checkpoint-granular, so a single allocation large enough to cross the whole reserve in one step still aborts; address-space usage is only observable on Linux; and `max_bytes` counts GMP memory, not Rust-side allocations. #10 (Medium/High). `q_zeilberger` consulted no budget and had no ceiling — `Σ_k [2n;k]_q` ran 8+ minutes at the documented defaults and had to be killed, while `Σ_k [n;k]_q` decides in half a second. It now has ceilings of the same shape `telescope_md` has (per-probe and cumulative system size) plus the two the shape ceilings are blind to: a size ceiling on `Q(q)(x)` elements, and a bit-length/work ceiling on the `Z[q][x]` subresultant gcd underneath every field operation, where a *small* system spends its minutes. The gcd ceilings are opt-in via `qfield::GcdWorkScope`, so `RatK` arithmetic in engines that have not asked for them is untouched. 26d (Medium). `prove_nonneg` ran 418.5 s inside `Budget(wall_ms=3000)` and ended in `E-SOS-002`. Budget checks at the search-loop boundaries, and — the part that matters more than the timing — the trip is recorded out of band so the bindings raise `BudgetExceededError`. `E-SOS-002` already conflates exhausted / budget-limited / never-attempted, and a loop that reads a timeout as "not SOS" records a false negative. Every engine error enum here is public and exhaustive, so none of them grows a `Budget` variant; the real cause travels through `budget::record_trip` / `take_trip` and the bindings re-raise it, the pattern `calculus::limits::last_budget_trip` established. `Budget` itself is unchanged for the same reason — `max_bytes` rides beside it via `enter_with_memory`, and `cargo semver-checks` reports no semver update required. Also replaces the wall-clock assertion in `chained_product_at_original_bounds_refuses_fast_via_resource_ceiling` with the deterministic quantity the ceiling actually bounds (unknowns spent on large probes). That assertion was measuring the machine — ~76 s idle against 1100-1300 s loaded — not the ceiling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Enforce the documented params disjointness precondition.
The doc comment states that params must be disjoint from the DAE's variables, derivatives, and time variable. Nothing checks it. param_vars_for_dae and ranked_jet_vars both filter listed symbols out of the ring, so a caller that lists a state or a jet by mistake gets a basis over a smaller ring with that unknown silently treated as a coefficient. The result is a plausible but wrong basis rather than an error.
The Python binding builds param_ids from caller input, so the precondition is reachable from user code.

A ceiling refusal inside order_state is reported as an ordinary miss, and the poisoned result is then cached.
order_state returns Ok(None) when PolyY::exact_div or q_gosper_normal_form fails. Both fail on a refusal: PolyY::div_rem in alkahest-core/src/holonomic/qzeil/field.rs returns None after note_refusal, PolyY::exact_div propagates that None, and q_gosper_normal_form returns None from its own PolyY::gcd/exact_div steps. This continue at Line 573 runs without bail_on_field_refusal!, so refused_by_ceiling stays false and the final SearchExhausted omits the ceiling note. That is exactly the false negative the module documents against.
The caching makes it worse. states is filled once per order, so a refusal-poisoned None at order J is reused for every remaining degree probe at that order, even after clear_field_refusal() resets the flag.
Check the refusal before treating a missing state as a miss, and do not cache a state that was refused.
🐛 Proposed fix

- states.push(order_state(f, &p, states.len() + 1)?);

let Some(state) = &states[order - 1] else {

};bail_on_field_refusal! already expands to continue for a size/work stop and to

Equal ideals do not make spec a Gröbner basis, so the returned value can break the specialize contract.
The two containment checks prove ⟨spec⟩ = ⟨oracle⟩. They do not prove that spec is a Gröbner basis of that ideal. On the degeneracy locus a leading coefficient of some generator can vanish under σ, which lowers that generator's leading monomial; the leading-term ideal of spec is then strictly smaller than the leading-term ideal of the true basis, even though the ideals agree.
specialize documents its result as "the reduced Gröbner basis of the specialised ideal under the same order" (lines 727-731), and this method returns spec under that same contract. A caller that runs contains, eliminate, or normal-form reduction on the returned generators can then get a wrong answer, because those operations assume a Gröbner basis.
spec_gb is already the recomputed basis. Return its generators instead, which is both a Gröbner basis and the same ideal.

Uncompensated intermediate nearest rounding in alkahest-core/src/validated/interval.rs. Both sites compute a value at prec + 32 with round-to-nearest and then apply the directed outward step. The nearest step can move the value inward, and the directed step at the coarser precision does not always undo that, so a bound can end up narrower than the true one by up to about 2^-33 of a prec ulp. The module documentation at Lines 45-47 states that no rounding step can ever narrow an interval; one rounding, taken in the outward direction from the exact operands, is what establishes that.
alkahest-core/src/validated/interval.rs#L88-L100: replace the two-step pattern inroundedandxmulwith a singleFloat::with_val_round(prec, <incomplete computation>, dir)call, and apply the same change to every caller that currently forms aprec + 32intermediate —add,mul,recip,powi,mid_rad,panel_integral, and eachincreasing/decreasingclosure.alkahest-core/src/validated/interval.rs#L405-L428: computecentrein the outward direction per side, or widenradby one working-precision ulp before forming the band, so the Lipschitz collar still covers the whole panel.
No current result is wrong, because the shortfall is far below the width of any panel this module runs on. Fix it anyway: this module's only purpose is to supply a rigorous last-resort bound.

powi(i64::MIN) overflows on the negation and never terminates.
Line 257 computes self.powi(-n)?.recip(). For n == i64::MIN the negation overflows. In a release build it wraps back to i64::MIN, so powi recurses on the same argument forever and the process aborts on stack exhaustion. In a debug build it panics on the overflow.
The value is reachable. eval at Line 533 calls b.powi(n.0.to_i64()?) for any ExprData::Integer exponent, and to_i64() succeeds for i64::MIN. A caller that builds x ** pool.integer(-2**63) therefore crashes the process, and a Rust panic or abort crossing the FFI boundary is not catchable as a Python Exception.
Refuse on overflow instead. The same self.powi(-n) shape exists in ArbBall::powi in alkahest-core/src/ball/mod.rs around Line 339; apply the same guard there.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
The poll loop adds a fixed ~25 ms to every validated-bounds call.
handle.is_finished() is checked immediately after spawn, so a worker that has barely started reports false, and the calling thread then sleeps a full INTERRUPT_POLL. Every bound_on_box, verified_integral, verified_no_roots, and verified_sign call therefore pays one sleep interval, even when the native work takes microseconds. These are called in loops by search-style callers.
Use a short first interval and back off toward INTERRUPT_POLL.
⚡ Proposed fix: ramp the poll interval
-/// How often the calling thread comes back for the GIL to look for signals.
-const INTERRUPT_POLL: std::time::Duration = std::time::Duration::from_millis(25);
+/// How often the calling thread comes back for the GIL to look for signals,
+/// once the call has proved to be long-running.
+const INTERRUPT_POLL: std::time::Duration = std::time::Duration::from_millis(25);
+
+/// First poll interval. Short so that a call finishing in microseconds — the
+/// common case for `bound_on_box` on a small box — does not pay a full
+/// `INTERRUPT_POLL` of latency it cannot use.
+const INTERRUPT_POLL_FIRST: std::time::Duration = std::time::Duration::from_micros(200); let value = py.allow_threads(|| {
std::thread::scope(|scope| {
let handle = scope.spawn(f);
+ let mut wait = INTERRUPT_POLL_FIRST;
while !handle.is_finished() {
- std::thread::sleep(INTERRUPT_POLL);
+ std::thread::sleep(wait);
+ wait = (wait * 2).min(INTERRUPT_POLL);

Fixes the issues found by the 2026-08-19 orchestrated autoresearch run
(
temp-alkahest/testing/autoresearch-issues-2026-08-19.md, 32 issues againsta1f26bf— 2 Critical, 13 High). Eleven fix agents worked in isolated worktrees;each commit below is one self-contained branch and is independently revertable.
Both Critical soundness bugs
ArbBall::tanaccepted a box crossing a pole and returned the hull of the twoendpoint values;
ArbBall::pow_fhulled four corners across a sign change, at onepoint claiming a finite bound of width 0.89 for a function unbounded on the box.
The reference repro goes 8 unsound enclosures → 0, and
tanstays tight whereit should (
[0.1, 1.0] → [0.100334, 1.557407]).tannow reuses the Taylor path'sown
contains_zero(cos)rule rather than a second, weaker pole test.The audit that came with it found five more soundness defects in the same
module, one broader than either Critical:
lo()/hi()roundedmid ∓ radtonearest, handing every kernel in the module a bound strictly inside the interval.
Also
add_rounding_errorignoringrad's own rounding,erf/erfcrounding theLipschitz constant down, and
digammawalking 10^18 integers to find its pole.They survived because the enclosure-soundness test only ever bound point balls —
now a 19-row 40-digit
decimaltable, a pow-by-every-exponent-route test, and anoracle-free wide-ball sweep, plus 200 random wide balls × 22 kernels in Rust.
A false mathematical claim, and the capability behind it
The previous round recorded that
(x²+y²+z²)·Motzkin_homneeds multiplier powerN = 2. It is SOS atN = 1— the classical fact. The claim had propagated intofour documents and was pinned by a passing test whose comment said the refusal was
"expected to stay
Nonepermanently".All five locations are corrected and the test is now its contrapositive, passing:
psd_search_certifies_homogeneous_motzkin_times_sum_of_squares_at_n1. The CHANGELOGkeeps the original text under a retraction banner so the wrong reasoning is not
silently re-derived.
The engineering item behind it landed too — a half-Newton-polytope reduction:
Robinson admits no reduction at all, so it is the guard that this is a genuine no-op
there. Horn/C₅ and C₇ still do not certify — full Newton polytopes, 420/2646 free
parameters against a 200 ceiling — and now say so explicitly instead of returning an
undifferentiated
E-SOS-002.The process abort
telescope_mdat its own default arguments died withGNU MP: Cannot allocate memoryand dumped core — no exception, noBudgetExceededError, taking the wholeinterpreter and every result it held.
gmp_set_memory_functionsis installed as a counter, not a failure path — GMP'scontract forbids a replacement allocator returning
NULL, and a Rustpanic!througha C frame is UB. The refusal happens in ordinary Rust at our own checkpoints, before
the allocation that would have died.

Found while fixing, not in the report
The differential-elimination prolongation engine emitted false consequences: on the
report's own

a·x = 1. Cause: the jet ranking was recomputed each round ratherthan being append-only. Fixed here, with two related bugs (a promoted derivative counted
twice; an unpromoted jet's contribution dropped, which together force
