Host/runtime boundary release handoff

This document is the short release-gate handoff for blocked LinuxCNC runtime families in the WASM/browser port. It summarizes current host readiness, promotion blockers, opt-in probe dispatch state, native evidence acceptance, and the rule that blocked runtime families remain blocked on this host.

Current runtime boundary families

The current runtime-boundary proof families are:

• L4-USER-M-PROCESS
• L4-TOOL-DB
• L4-PYTHON-REMAP

The current Node inventory skip/block summary now has L4-USER-M-PROCESS=1. L4-TOOL-DB is no longer a skipped inventory row, but it remains represented in the runtime-boundary proof ledger with promotion_allowed=0.

Current host readiness is summarized by:

• build/wasm/sim-configs-inventory/runtime-boundary-host-readiness-rollup.tsv
• build/wasm/sim-configs-inventory/runtime-boundary-promotion-blockers.tsv
• build/wasm/sim-configs-inventory/runtime-boundary-opt-in-probe-dispatch-rollup.tsv
• build/wasm/sim-configs-inventory/runtime-boundary-native-evidence-acceptance-gate.tsv
• build/wasm/sim-configs-inventory/runtime-boundary-opt-in-probe-skip-evidence-rollup.tsv
• build/wasm/sim-configs-inventory/blocked-runtime-promotion-lock.tsv

Current rollup state:

host_readiness_status=host_ready_for_all_opt_in_native_probes
family_count=3
host_ready_family_count=3
host_blocked_family_count=0
blocked_families=-
missing_host_requirements=-
ready_opt_in_command_count=3
execution_enabled=0
promotion_allowed=0

Promotion blockers

Each blocked family currently has promotion_ready=0, execution_enabled=0, and promotion_allowed=0.

For L4-USER-M-PROCESS and L4-TOOL-DB, the current blocker keys are:

native_runtime_probe_not_passed
native_pass_evidence_not_ready
node_inventory_gate_not_complete
browser_smoke_gate_not_complete
promotion_lock_active
manual_lock_update_required

For the first Python remap fixture, axis/remap/stop-lookahead/nc_files, the native lifecycle evidence has been accepted and the Node/browser lifecycle gates are complete:

current_probe_status=runtime_lifecycle_probe_passed
native_evidence_status=native_pass_evidence_observed
node_inventory_gate_complete=1
browser_smoke_gate_complete=1
node_gate_status=node_inventory_promotion_gate_complete
browser_gate_status=browser_smoke_promotion_gate_complete
blocking_reason=promotion_lock_active_manual_review_required
next_unblock_action=manual_lock_review_required

The Python row still has promotion_ready=0, execution_enabled=0, and promotion_allowed=0; the remaining blockers are promotion_lock_active and manual_lock_update_required. This proof-chain state does not promote any of the 53 L4-PYTHON-REMAP rows.

For rows that still lack native evidence, the next unblock action is to provide the missing host runtime requirements for the relevant family. Providing host commands is not enough to promote a row; it only allows the next opt-in probe gate to be considered.

Opt-in probe dispatch

The current dispatch rollup is:

dispatch_status=dispatch_allowed_for_all_opt_in_native_probes
probe_count=3
dispatch_allowed_count=3
dispatch_blocked_count=0
dispatch_actions=ready_for_manual_opt_in_native_probe
execution_enabled=0
promotion_allowed=0

These commands are opt-in only and must never run implicitly:

ENABLE_MILLTURN_USER_M_RUNTIME_PROBE=1 bash wasm-port/tests/native/probe_millturn_user_m_runtime.sh
ENABLE_TOOL_DB_RUNTIME_PROBE=1 bash wasm-port/tests/native/probe_tool_db_runtime.sh
ENABLE_PYTHON_REMAP_RUNTIME_PROBE=1 bash wasm-port/tests/native/probe_python_remap_runtime.sh

Only run them deliberately when updating native proof evidence. A passing probe does not enable execution or promotion by itself.

Native evidence acceptance

For rows still blocked before native evidence, runtime-boundary-native-evidence-acceptance-gate.tsv currently records:

• current_probe_status=ready_disabled_by_default
• native_evidence_status=pending_until_native_pass
• skip_evidence_status=skip_contract_not_applicable_dispatch_allowed
• node_gate_status=blocked_until_native_pass_evidence
• browser_gate_status=blocked_until_node_gate_complete
• native_evidence_gate=blocked_until_native_pass_evidence
• evidence_acceptance_allowed=0

A disabled opt-in probe is not a native pass. It only proves that this host is not executing the family-specific runtime probe by default.

For L4-PYTHON-REMAP, the same artifact records accepted native lifecycle evidence for the stop-lookahead fixture:

• current_probe_status=runtime_lifecycle_probe_passed
• native_evidence_status=native_pass_evidence_observed
• skip_evidence_status=native_pass_evidence_observed_skip_contract_closed
• node_gate_status=node_inventory_promotion_gate_complete
• browser_gate_status=browser_smoke_promotion_gate_complete
• native_evidence_gate=native_pass_evidence_accepted
• evidence_acceptance_allowed=1

This is evidence acceptance only. It does not change promotion_allowed=0.

Release gate

Use this gate when touching blocked runtime family reports, host readiness, or promotion policy:

git diff --check
wasm-port/tools/verify_vendor_sync.sh
wasm-port/tools/verify_no_standalone_cnc_semantics.sh
SKIP_INTERP_BUILD=1 wasm-port/tests/wasm/node/verify_sim_configs_inventory_wasm.sh
wasm-port/tests/docs/node/verify_host_runtime_boundary_docs.sh
wasm-port/tests/docs/node/verify_sim_configs_coverage_docs.sh
wasm-port/tests/host/verify_host_smokes.sh

The host aggregate must include:

sim_configs_wasm_node_inventory=ok
host_runtime_boundary_docs_node_smoke=ok
sim_configs_coverage_docs_node_smoke=ok
host_wasm_opfs_browser_smokes=ok

Promotion rule

No blocked family may be promoted until all of these are true:

1. Host readiness allows the family-specific opt-in probe.
2. The explicit opt-in probe passes natively with LinuxCNC-owned runtime behavior.
3. Native evidence acceptance allows the pass evidence.
4. Node/WASM inventory proof passes after native evidence.
5. Browser/host proof passes after Node/WASM proof.
6. verify_no_standalone_cnc_semantics.sh still passes.
7. blocked-runtime-promotion-lock.tsv, docs, and tracker records are updated deliberately.

Until then, L4-USER-M-PROCESS, L4-TOOL-DB, and L4-PYTHON-REMAP remain locked in the runtime-boundary proof ledger with promotion_allowed=0; only the inventory rows explicitly eligible for Node/WASM execution may run.
