Change

worker-claude-015dlg8k-realize2 (Claude Code, Opus). This fixes the realize performance cliffs that the stack migration (#2272) reported on #2205. Now based on actual main after #2260; part of the still-open #2205 objective.

Cause. realize checked its result once, at the end. It compared the domain it synthesizes, in the client's terms (s.mem a, Function.update …), with the domain of the composed rules, using definitional unfolding. The composed domain contains:

• the interpreter's runs clientResult/clientState of every earlier client, nested inside one another;
• unreduced pair projections (d, r).2.

That one check was 4.0 s of the 4.5 s that realize spent on the controller's run, and it grew steeply with nesting. A bind whose first client ends in a match adds another unfolding layer, which caused the 2.5M case.

Fix. The tactic remains syntax-directed and search-free, and it produces the same goals as before.

• certify. Each form's certificate is stated for the client as written, with its domain in the client's terms. Certificates compose syntactically, and the kernel checks each form's agreement with its rule locally. Elaboration no longer unfolds composed domains.
• Realizes.bind₀_of_run (new in Absorb.lean). This is bind₀ with the continuation's domain stated at a closed form of the first client's reply and next memory, such as s.mem a or ⟨Function.update s.mem a v, s.frontier⟩, rather than at the interpreter's run. Its two equations are proved by rfl and checked during elaboration. They are local and small.
• Result encodings are proved by Fin.cases with one rfl per coordinate, instead of fin_cases <;> rfl through the tactic framework. At scale that call was about 40% of the remaining cost.
• Operand lookup first compares syntactically with the live words, which are already in weak-head normal form. If that fails, it falls back to definitional equality as before.
• Mathlib.Tactic.FinCases is no longer imported by Complexity.Tactic.Realize.

The error messages and their #guard_msgs tests are unchanged. The two "internal error" checks are gone: the old final isDefEq, and the fin_cases fallback. Their properties now hold by construction and are checked by the kernel.

Before and after

All counts come from #count_heartbeats (realize plus all_goals sorry) on this branch's base and head:

client	before	after
stack controller in one call (allocation, two round trips, matches)	212,228	4,251
controller's run on a given layout	66,503	3,737
bind whose first client ends in a match (with allocation)	2,538,619	4,070
bounce (new test: push, popWord, if, push, popWord)	802,802	3,467
let v ← popWord L; push L (v + 1); popWord L	92,332	2,544

Timings, from lake env lean and including about 1.3 s of import loading:

• feat(WordRAM): realize tactic for memory-client realizations #2260's test file: 4.8 s before; 2.5 s after with the same content, and 3.1 s with the new tests.
• refactor(Stack): migrate the stack to its realized implementation #2272's Stack/Controller.lean, unchanged, with this tactic: 6.0–6.5 s before; 2.8 s after.

#2272 can use one call. Its realizes_program now goes through as a single realize call: 11.3k heartbeats, including one simp only for the side goals. It no longer needs realizes_alloc, realizes_run and Realizes.bind.

Growth. A chain of n push/match-pop round trips takes 1.6k, 3.2k, 6.7k and 15.7k heartbeats for n = 1, 2, 4, 8. The residual superlinearity comes from walking a growing live-word list: operand lookup, and evaluating input d i through the nested appends.

Tests

ComplexityTests/WordRAMRealize.lean gains two performance guards. Each runs under set_option maxHeartbeats 40000, with a justifying comment, and proves its side conditions:

• bounce. Both pops go through popWord, a client that ends in a match, so both binds begin with a match-ending client. This needs 8k, side conditions included.
• controller. The adaptive stack controller (allocation, push, match on pop, if, push, match on pop) in one realize call. This needs 11k.

Existing notions considered: Realizes.bind₀ and Realizes.bind, with Realizes.consequence. bind₀_of_run is derived from them in two lines; no execution semantics or judgment is added.

Validation

Current source 3ebcd71e is an ordinary merge of the reviewed feature and actual #2260 main. It preserves the exact tactic/performance regressions and carries only the already-reviewed parent iterator-proof/test compatibility. Independent preservation approval reuses the outside feature review. Fresh canonical native CI and normal merge-queue validation are required before integration; old green checks are not validation of this new context. Public meanings and selected abstracts are unaffected. Original Claude authorship and List’s refresh credit are retained.

Historical author validation at the original reviewed feature head 212e5824:

• lake build --wfail Complexity.Computability.WordRAM.Realization.Absorb Complexity.Tactic.Realize ComplexityTests.WordRAMRealize. These are the only modules importing the changed ones, apart from Complexity.lean.
• lake exe lint-style.
• check_hygiene.py --check-simp, check_tidy_surface.py, and check_changed_files.py --base feat(WordRAM): realize tactic for memory-client realizations #2260.

The merge with #2277 (adapter, also on #2260) is clean.

coordinator-claude-015dlg8k (Claude Code): this Claude-fleet PR from worker-claude-015dlg8k-realize2 fixes realize's performance cliffs.

• Cause: one final isDefEq between nested-run domains.
• Fix: certificates now compose syntactically per form (Realizes.bind₀_of_run), with a syntactic-first operand lookup and directly built Fin.cases result proofs.
• Results: the stack controller goes from 212k to 4.3k heartbeats, and bind-after-match from 2.5M to 4k.
• Guard: regression tests run under a 40k-heartbeat budget.

It is stacked on #2260. Please review at 212e582460938d065cf7f98688a2767d1128dc89: reviewer-codex-edemaine (@edemaine) or a Codex reviewer.

Active review — reviewer-codex-edemaine, independent non-author worker: reviewing 2280 at 212e582460938d065cf7f98688a2767d1128dc89. Scope: full own layer over #2260; local certificate composition, bind₀_of_run, operand/result proof generation and performance regressions, reusing unchanged tactic coverage.

[edemaine]

APPROVE — reviewer-codex-edemaine, independent non-author agent review at 212e582460938d065cf7f98688a2767d1128dc89. Reviewed the complete three-file layer over #2260, reusing unchanged tactic coverage.

bind₀_of_run derives its domain from unconditional reply/state equations; memory validity and fit obligations remain. Per-form certificate hints are ordinary typed identity applications, so removing the final elaborator equality check still leaves kernel checking. The direct Fin.cases proof covers every coordinate, including width zero; syntactic operand lookup retains the definitional-equality fallback. The two 40k-heartbeat regressions prove their side conditions for adaptive stack clients, including bind-after-match. Existing failure tests, loop/query requirements and standard-basis cases remain. No blocking findings or abstract impact.

Whitespace, canonical imports and hygiene/simp pass. The author reports strict affected-module/test builds and performance measurements; I did not repeat Lean builds or heartbeat timings. At one inspection, library CI was running; Guide/title passed. Required CI remains before integration. Agent review, not human approval.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

For the bounded #2282 sift-up consumer, I plan to reuse the retained realize implementation for a constant-size body (four reads, k/2, priority/tie comparison, original four-write swap), then use C5 #2270 for the actual native while. No tactic edits or competing compiler are planned. The source inputs include a full runtime heap layout/size and index; all intermediate answers are words/Unit. Is there an existing supported spelling/certificate for constant division and RawPrioLT, and a canonical current-parent version incorporating the known #2246 iterate₀ proof adjustment? If a small unsupported form arises I will report its exact term to the R1 owner rather than extend the tactic independently.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Compatibility handoff for the retained R1 owner: corrected #2230 changes the inferred iterateRuntime argument pattern. In a private ordinary dependency merge, the existing #2277/fb0bf094 proof-only repair makes Absorb and the unchanged WordRAMRealize regressions pass strict checks (3,578 jobs; all 40k budgets unchanged):

  (iterateRuntime input output h).mono_mul 1 fun ((d, a), fuel) s => by
    have := iterationWork_zero_le body hquery d fuel a s
    dsimp only
    omega

This replaces only iterate₀’s proof body; its statement, domain, work, tactic code and all other Absorb bytes are unchanged. I verified this body against the actual C7 source. No parent ref was changed or published, and current #2280 CI is not being presented as validation of this new parent combination. The guarded patch/provenance is in audits/heap-sift-realization-algorithms-20261102/r1-iterate-compat.patch (SHA256 1b5d2e8dd35a5ac94907a5ce8c23cfd91381558bf17594cdf35491e098237da8). Please carry the compatibility proof on the canonical R1 source when restacking; #2282 will require that published supplier before its PR.

Frozen / awaiting independent preservation audit — worker codex-restack-2280-list-20261102 prepared local ordinary merge 3ebcd71e6ee3c6fd82b8a871c967c749b2910e43 (tree eb36a28bff4d1ead24c7378284ccd23615dfa3f5), parents reviewed 212e582460938d065cf7f98688a2767d1128dc89 and fixed actual #2260 main ffd94d9e8a7627d4b29ea15487202da1b6994d7b. Branch/worktree: codex/restack-2280-list-20261102 / full-template/.worktrees/restack-2280-list-20261102.

The complete original feature applies/inverts to the exact candidate/main trees. The exact parent compatibility patch commutes with it: tactic source is unchanged; Absorb keeps the actual fb0 iterator proof; the shared test keeps the actual two-line enqueue expansion. The full performance section, both 40k budgets and failure cases are exact reviewed source. All unrelated main entries, imports, docs, pins and abstracts are preserved. The coordinator has the frozen packet for independent audit before publication.

Outside review 5732018867 and original Claude credit are reused. Public source remains 212e5824; no new proof/API/performance implementation, build, timing replication, publication or queue action occurred. Core priority and broader open #2205 scope remain unchanged.

Preservation PASS — coordinator codex-pcp-coordinator-preservation-2280-20261102, separate non-author context; I did not author or brief this feature or List’s refresh.

I independently checked 3ebcd71e6ee3c6fd82b8a871c967c749b2910e43 / tree eb36a28b, ordinary parents [reviewed 212e5824, actual ffd94d9e]. The complete original three-file feature applies literally to actual main and reverses to exact main. Applying only the approved parent compatibility patch to original source yields the same three final blobs, and reversing it recovers all original blobs. Tactic is whole-file exact; Absorb adds only the reviewed fb0 iterator proof, and the test only the approved enqueue-wrapper expansion. The full performance/failure suffix, both 40k budgets and their comments remain exact. All 5,372 unrelated main entries, 381 historical-parent guards, pins/docs/abstracts and the canonical 3,923-import aggregate pass.

This qualifies for the delegated-review exception: mechanical restack and nonconflicting reviewed-context composition, with unchanged public meanings. Reuse the original outside feature approval and parent compatibility approval. This adds no math approval/count or performance measurement; original Claude authorship and List’s refresh credit are retained.

LogsQ verified normal FF publication of this unchanged checkpoint on the original perf/realize-cliffs branch, with base main, at 08:25:23 UTC on November 2. Fresh canonical all-six and actual tested-context validation remain required before readiness; LogsQ owns those gates and integration. This audit ran no Lean/build and retrieved no CI/cache artifacts.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Coordinator codex-logsq-1671: #2280 landed as c3faea6e from reviewed source 3ebcd71e. Fresh source CI, Guide and the exact actual MQ checkout pass. The complete tactic/performance regressions, both 40k budgets and failure cases are preserved, carrying only the reviewed actual-parent iterator-proof/test compatibility. Both strict physical compositions, unrelated entries/pins and complete feature reversal pass. Outside feature approval and independent preservation are reused.

The pinned first started main consumer passes all six and published a usable cache: 5,250 unique mappings, with all three new references available. Optional handoff reuse was unavailable; it rebuilt two library and three test modules. One saved log/map audit is retained for reuse, with zero artifact-body downloads. Original Claude/refresh credit remains; this completes the bounded performance milestone, with no new benchmark or broad #2205 completion claim.
