Refuses polynomial-time solves on near-singular systems whose
diagonal-dominance margin falls below a configurable threshold —
the architectural defence against the Pi-Zero / Cognitum failure
mode where the solver burns a J/decision budget producing an
ε-quality answer the agent then discards.
New module `src/coherence.rs`:
- `coherence_score(&dyn Matrix) -> f64` — one-pass diagonal-
dominance margin in [-∞, 1]:
* 1.0 = perfectly diagonal
* (0,1) = strictly DD; Neumann series convergence guaranteed
* 0 = boundary
* <0 = not DD; iterative solvers may diverge
* -∞ = zero diagonal (degenerate row)
- `check_coherence_or_reject(&dyn Matrix, threshold)` — returns
Err(Incoherent) if score < threshold; Ok(score) otherwise.
Threshold = 0 disables the gate entirely (the default).
Wired into the public API:
- `SolverError::Incoherent { coherence, threshold }` — new
variant, `is_recoverable() = true`, severity = Low (it's a
budget refusal, not corruption), formatted error message
points the caller at ADR-001 and the opt-out.
- `SolverOptions::coherence_threshold: Precision` — defaults to
`0.0` (gate disabled) so every existing caller is wire-
compatible. Setting to `0.05` enables the recommended floor.
- lib.rs re-exports `coherence_score` and
`check_coherence_or_reject` at the crate root.
8 new unit tests cover the score function (perfect diagonal,
moderate dominance, boundary case, non-dominant, zero-diagonal)
and the gate (disabled threshold passes, enabled threshold
rejects incoherent and accepts dominant matrices).
Test count: 137 → 145 lib pass. No external API breakage —
SolverOptions still has Default + all 3 named constructors with
the new field set to 0.0.
ADR-001 roadmap: items #1 + #3 done, 4 left (#2 solve_on_change,
#4 MCP advertise, #5 joules bench, #6 contrastive adapter).

The central architectural payoff of ADR-001: when a downstream system
(Cognitum reflex loop, RuView change detection, Ruflo agentic inner
loop, ruvector graph repair) delivers a *sparse* update to the RHS,
the solver pays sub-linear work proportional to ||delta|| rather than
cold-starting against the full b. Lifts steady-state cost from
`O(k_cold · nnz(A))` to `O(k_warm · nnz(A))` where k_warm ≪ k_cold
on well-conditioned DD systems with small deltas.
New module `src/incremental.rs`:
- `SparseDelta { indices, values }` — additive sparse update to a
RHS vector. `apply_to`, `as_pairs`, `nnz`, `is_empty`, length
validation, out-of-bounds rejection.
- `IncrementalSolver` extension trait blanket-impl'd for every
`SolverAlgorithm` so the entry point is available on every solver
in the crate (Neumann, optimised CG, sublinear-Neumann, …) with
no per-solver wiring needed.
- `solve_on_change(matrix, prev, delta, opts)` uses the
**residual-correction pattern**:
r = delta (= b_new − A·prev for converged prev)
dx = A⁻¹ · r (inner cold solve on a small sparse RHS)
x = prev + dx
This sidesteps the trap of feeding `initial_guess = prev` to
iterative solvers that don't honour it correctly (Neumann's
`compute_next_term` double-counts the k=0 series term, same class
of bug as the iter-2 v1.6.0 fix). Solving for the *correction*
from zero is asymptotically faster because ||r|| ≪ ||b_new||
drives Neumann's geometric convergence to fewer iters
proportional to log(||r||/||b_new||).
- `IncrementalConfig` knobs for tuning the warm-start / full-solve
crossover.
- `IncrementalSolveOp` marker type with `Complexity = Adaptive {
Linear, Linear }` and `DETAIL` documenting the sub-linear-in-
delta-norm payoff. Stable target for the future MCP `x-complexity`
schema (ADR-001 item #4).
6 unit tests pin the contract:
- SparseDelta validation: length match, out-of-bounds detection.
- Identity case: empty delta + prev_solution → same solution as
full solve.
- Tracking: incremental result on b_prev + delta matches cold
full-solve on the new RHS within solver tolerance.
- **Architectural promise**: warm-start iterations ≤ cold-start
iterations on a small delta (the headline benefit of this
roadmap item).
Test count: 145 → 151 lib pass (+6). No external API breakage —
purely additive. Existing callers keep working unchanged; the new
entry point is opt-in.
ADR-001 roadmap status: items #1 #2 #3 done. Remaining:
#4 MCP x-complexity + max_complexity_class budget arg
#5 joules_per_decision bench
#6 find_anomalous_rows contrastive adapter

Cuts the minor that captures the first three roadmap items of ADR-001 (Complexity as Architecture): - item #1: ComplexityClass enum + Complexity trait - item #2: solve_on_change residual-correction - item #3: coherence gate Public API is additive — no breaking changes. SolverOptions gains one new field with default 0.0 (gate disabled), so every existing caller stays wire-compatible. Bumps: - npm sublinear-time-solver 1.6.0 → 1.7.0 - rust sublinear (crate) 0.2.0 → 0.3.0 CHANGELOG.md gets a fresh 1.7.0 section above the existing 1.6.0 entry, structured to match Keep-a-Changelog conventions. Roadmap items #4, #5, #6 stay on the cron a3644c7d backlog for the follow-up minor.

ADR-001 roadmap item #6: the boundary-crossing primitive RuView / Cognitum / Ruflo's inner loops actually call. Two functions in a new module `src/contrastive.rs`: - `find_anomalous_rows(baseline, current, k) -> Vec<AnomalyRow>` Top-k rows by |current[i] - baseline[i]|, sorted desc with row index as the tie-break. `O(n log k)` via a `k`-sized min-heap (BinaryHeap with inverted Ord). Phase-1 implementation: full scan over the dense vectors. Phase-2 (tracked as TODO) drops to O(k · log n) by computing individual entries of `current` directly via the sublinear-Neumann single-entry primitive, matching what the ADR §Roadmap promised. - `find_rows_above_threshold(baseline, current, threshold)` — O(n) one-pass filter that returns ALL rows whose anomaly exceeds `threshold`. The change-driven activation primitive: an agent stays asleep until the iterator yields anything. RuView's "activate only on boundary crossing" maps directly to this. - `AnomalyRow { row, baseline, current, anomaly }` — the report shape. Comparable by row + anomaly for deterministic ordering. - `FindAnomalousRowsOp` complexity marker: `Adaptive { Linear, Linear }` today, with DETAIL documenting the planned drop to O(k · log n) in phase 2. 9 unit tests cover the API: empty inputs, k=0, k>n, top-k correctness, tie-breaks, absolute-value semantics, threshold filtering / no-match / dim-mismatch panic. Also fixes the CI failure on the previous push: src/incremental.rs:22 doc test had a type mismatch — `SparseDelta::new` returns `Result<SparseDelta>` but I passed `&result` directly to `solve_on_change`. Added `?` to unwrap the Result and `as &dyn Matrix` to make the cast explicit. The 6 unit tests in incremental had been doing the right thing; only the doc example was wrong. Test count: 151 → 160 lib pass + 11 doc tests (was 1 failing). ADR-001 roadmap: items #1 #2 #3 #6 done. Remaining: #4 MCP x-complexity advertise + budget arg, #5 joules_per_decision bench.

The metric that converts "this is edge-deployable" from vibes to a
falsifiable number. ADR-001 §SOTA criterion required this before the
package can be called complete. New file
`examples/joules_per_decision.rs`:
- `PowerCounter` trait with two impls:
* RaplCounter: /sys/class/powercap/intel-rapl:0/energy_uj
— works on Intel and AMD Zen 2+ via the
compatible interface, microjoule resolution.
* TimeOnlyCounter: wall-clock fallback when RAPL is unreadable
(sandbox, macOS, locked-down host). Reports
energy as `(not measured)`, prints timing
only.
- `pick_counter()` tries the impls in order and never panics.
- Two workloads:
* OptimizedConjugateGradientSolver (n configurable, default 256)
* NeumannSolver
plus a 100-iter warm-up so the first sample doesn't capture cold
cache + JIT.
- Report struct prints joules, average watts, µJ/solve, µs/solve
when RAPL works; just µs/solve when it doesn't.
Local run on the dev host (RAPL not granted to user; fell back to
time-only):
OptimizedConjugateGradientSolver, n=256: 0.77 µs / solve
NeumannSolver, n=256: 47.98 µs / solve
That's a 62× CG-over-Neumann ratio, consistent with the BENCHMARK.md
baselines from the v1.6.0 release. With RAPL granted (root or
chmod a+r), the same workload reports actual joules and average
watts.
Run with:
cargo run --release --example joules_per_decision
cargo run --release --example joules_per_decision -- --n 1024 --iters 5000
Phase-2 plan (in the source as a comment):
- Integrate into the CI bench-smoke job once a stable per-job
power counter exists (currently GitHub Actions doesn't expose
one).
- Add hwmon backend for the Pi Zero 2W path.
ADR-001 roadmap: items #1 #2 #3 #5 #6 done. Only #4 (MCP
x-complexity schema + max_complexity_class budget) remains.

feat(adr-001 #2): solve_on_change_sublinear — SubLinear delta-solve

Completes the verifiable structural backlog. src/plateau.mjs is a pure, deterministic detector: a plateau is declared only when ALL three hold over a rolling window -- median per-generation improvement < epsilon, promotion rate < max, and candidate-score variance shrinking. It emits a classification (local-optimum / noisy-benchmark / still-improving / inconclusive), separating a real local optimum from noise or optimizer failure without intuition. run-plateau.mjs builds a 6-generation history with diminishing returns, gates every candidate with the real ADR-076 gate, derives per-generation stats (bestDelta, promotion rate, score variance) from the real decisions, and applies the detector (final verdict + per-prefix trace showing WHEN it fires). On the demo history it declares plateau=true (local-optimum) first at generation 4. verify-plateau.mjs re-gates every sealed candidate, rebuilds the history, and recomputes the detector -- asserting the history and verdict reproduce bit-for-bit. Deterministic; the plateau signal is verifiable, not a claim. Outcomes remain synthetic and are shaped to diminish so a plateau forms; the real/synthetic boundary is unchanged.
