How to Read the Rescue Suite
The proof-carrying rescue suite is a replayable evidence artifact. It is not a marketing diagram and not a finished optimizer release.
The Forge manifest lives at:
reports/proof_carrying_rescue_suite_v0_2026_05_26.json
The human-facing Explorer lives at:
https://monogate.dev/explorer/rescue-suite
It can be replayed with:
forge rescue --suite --strict
That emits the manifest, the replay result, the markdown summary, and the generated fixture consumed by the Explorer.
What the Manifest Says
The manifest says four boundary-event rescue lanes exist and each has a transition witness:
| Lane | Meaning |
|---|---|
domain_wall -> log_domain_rescue | positive-coordinate rescue |
overflow_wall -> guard_rescue | output-safety rescue |
phantom_attractor -> interior_sample | precision-sensitivity escape |
saturation_shelf -> corner_concentration | clamp-shelf deshelf replay |
Each lane points at a MachLib obligation name. That lets Forge, MachLib, and the public research notes use the same event language.
What the Replay Checks
The replay validator checks:
- all four lanes exist
- every lane has the expected transition
- every lane names the expected MachLib obligation
- embedded packets agree with the lane summaries
- every lane has a transition witness
- conservative boundary flags remain false
Those false flags matter. The suite does not claim:
- semantic rewrites
- optimizer release behavior
- hardware observation
- completed formal proofs
What MachLib Adds
MachLib has lane-level bridge theorems and now a suite-level structural theorem. At the current abstraction level, the theorem says:
four valid lane witnesses
-> all four obligation witnesses
That is not the final semantic proof of every rescue. It is the formal hook that turns the manifest from a table into a replay object MachLib can talk about.
Why v0 Matters
v0 is the first time the Monogate stack has a complete loop:
source fixture
-> boundary event
-> rescue operator
-> packet witness
-> replay validator
-> MachLib obligation bridge
-> public research page
The next surface should be an Explorer/dashboard view over this exact manifest.
That surface is now live; the broader frontier map is at
