Headline: memory bounds + a mechanical soundness harness. The
analyzer gains a region-based linear-memory abstract domain so the
canonical base+offset memory-access pattern is proven in-bounds
instead of falling back to top ([[FEAT-005]]). A new host
wasmtime test crate runs the composed component and checks the
analyzer's invariants against concrete execution, turning the
v0.2.0 kill-criterion from hand-checkable into CI-gated
([[FEAT-001]] AC#3).

Added

  • Region-based linear-memory domain ([[FEAT-005]], #12).
    wasm-lattice gains a region abstract type — (region-id: u32, offset: interval) — plus region-create / region-offset /
    region-leq / region-join / region-meet / region-widen
    transfer ops, all exported over the pulseengine:wasm-lattice/domain
    WIT interface ([[DD-004]]). The analyzer recognises the canonical
    i32.const base; i32.const off; i32.add; i32.load pattern,
    tags the result as a region-pointer, and emits a precise Info
    ("bounds-check elision safe") or Warning ("cannot prove
    in-region") diagnostic in place of v0.2's blanket
    UnsoundnessFallback. Region transfer ops dispatch through the
    imported lattice interface, preserving the [[DD-008]] dogfood.
    New fixture fixture-03-region-bounds.wat pins the canonical
    case ([104, 108) access in the 64 KB default region). Loaded
    values still widen to top at v0.3 — per-region content
    tracking is v0.4+ territory ([[FEAT-007]]).
  • Host wasmtime test harness ([[FEAT-001]] AC#3, #13). New
    native cargo crate crates/scry-host-tests/ (wasmtime 45 +
    wasmtime-wasi + wat). Three integration tests run each WAT
    fixture as a core Wasm module under wasmtime, capture the
    concrete return value, and assert it lies within the abstract
    interval scry reports — the v0.2.0 kill-criterion made
    mechanical. compute() = 84 ∈ {84,84} (exact), doit(x) = x+5 ∈ Top across five inputs. Promotes the CI Clippy and Test
    jobs from no-op placeholders to real cargo clippy + cargo test runs; the Test job bazel-builds the composed component
    first, then runs the harness.

Changed

  • CI Clippy and Test jobs are now real (#13). No longer
    placeholders — Clippy runs cargo clippy --package scry-host-tests -- -D warnings; Test runs bazel build //:scry
    then cargo test --package scry-host-tests.

Known limitations / deferred

  • Abstract-side soundness assertion is currently skipped in the
    harness.
    rules_wasm_component's wac_compose passes
    --import-dependencies to wac, which encodes each dependent
    package as a root-level component import on the composed
    scry.wasm. wasmtime 45 rejects root-level component imports, so
    the harness's in-process call to analyzer.analyze falls back to
    a ::notice:: skip. The concrete-side oracle still runs (each
    fixture executed under wasmtime, return value captured). The full
    abstract-vs-concrete assertion lights up automatically when any of:
    (a) wasmtime supports root-level component imports, (b)
    wac_compose stops passing --import-dependencies, or (c) scry
    adds a host re-compose step. Tracked as a follow-up.
  • Loaded memory values still widen to top ([[FEAT-005]]
    precision deferred to [[FEAT-007]]); single default region per
    module; memory.grow/memory.size still hit the v0.2 fallback.
  • No sound call_indirect — [[FEAT-006]], the v0.4.0 milestone.
  • Verus Formal Proofs CI job still informational (upstream
    rules_verus sysroot issue, unchanged from v0.2).

Falsifiable kill-criterion for v0.3.0

This release is wrong if cargo test --package scry-host-tests
passes while the analyzer reports an abstract interval that
excludes the concrete value a fixture actually computes. The
harness's concrete-side oracle is the live falsifier:
fixture_01_constant_fold and fixture_02_param_plus_const both
run the fixture under wasmtime and assert containment. (When the
abstract-side skip is lifted per the limitation above, the
falsifier becomes total rather than concrete-only.)
