Second tranche of the motivic stack, after the algebra engine (#266, merged).

Blocked on #292 — nothing else.

What this is

The deformation approach to the C-motivic Adams E₂: resolve over the mod-τ algebra with the ordinary engine, then lift.

  • CTauAlgebra$A_C/\tau$ presented as an ordinary $\mathbb{F}_2$ Algebra. This is what the existing resolution engine resolves, unchanged, so the classical path stays bit-identical.
  • MotivicResolution — resolve the trivial module over $A_C/\tau$, then lift the differential to $A_C$ by correcting along the weight grading. τ-powers are never threaded through the engine; they are recovered from the weight.
  • persist — cache the resolution and the lift to disk.
  • resolve_motivic_ctau example.

Why it needs #292

$A_C/\tau \cong \mathbb{F}_2[\xi_i] \otimes E(\tau_i)$ is the odd-primary dual's shape with $2^i$ in place of $p^i$, so its product is the classical Milnor product at $p = 2$: the exterior commutation shifts by $2^k$ and the signs collapse over $\mathbb{F}_2$. CTauAlgebra therefore multiplies through milnor_product from #292 rather than reimplementing the walk — one algorithm under test instead of two, which is the motivation #292 itself gives.

A test cross-checks that against the engine's independent product (the Kong–Lin closed form from #266) over every pair up to total degree 5, and asserts some product genuinely drops a τ-divisible term.

⚠️ One trap worth recording: milnor_product takes its left factor first, while the engine's product_indexed orders its arguments the other way. The two agree exactly under that transposition, but the failure mode is a well-formed wrong answer rather than an error.

Deferred to the follow-ups

The Ext DGA, the deformation spectral sequence, products and Massey products (#289, #290). Their module declarations and the tests that assert on them land with those tranches — so persist's round-trip test arrives with the cohomology tranche, since it asserts on τ-module torsion.

Status

build/clippy (full cargo hack feature powerset) and nightly fmt --all clean, 0 rustdoc warnings. 3 motivic tests in ext (module descriptors, and the lift being a complex that reduces correctly mod τ) and 30 in algebra, including the cross-checks against the classical Milnor algebra.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to af43e

This PR adds a new motivic resolution and persistence path, but unsupported modules may still panic, malformed operation descriptions can be misinterpreted, failed lifts may produce partial differentials, and shared cache directories can load results for the wrong module. The PR is not yet merge-ready without addressing or explicitly accepting these bounded correctness and reliability risks.

`multiply_with_allocation` branched on `generic()`, but the two arms were the same
computation: `multiply_qpart(m1, 0)` returns `[(1, m1)]`, so the classical arm is the
generic one with an empty exterior part. Collapse them into `milnor_product`, a free
function that reports each `(coefficient, basis element)` through a callback, leaving
the index lookup and excess filter to the caller. `multiply_qpart` becomes free too; it
only ever read the prime.

`generic` was a `bool` field written once as `p != 2` and never mutated. Derive it
instead. That also drops its `#[cfg(feature = "odd-primes")]` gate: without the feature
`ValidPrime` is the zero-sized type 2, so the comparison folds to a constant on its own.

existing zero check and diagnostic message.
- Line 160: Bound the parsed Q_ index before shifting q_part in the relevant
parser, rejecting indices 32 or greater instead of performing an out-of-range
shift; use checked shift behavior so failure propagates as malformed-input
rejection. Extend test_ctau_basis_element_from_string_round_trips with a Q_32
case that verifies rejection without panic.
- Line 133: Update the basis-product flow around milnor_product to pass a
reusable PPartAllocation through PPartAllocation::with_local, returning the
allocation from milnor_product so with_local can restore it for the next product
instead of creating PPartAllocation::default() each time.
- Around line 136-138: Update the index lookup in the product-term handling
around ac.index_of within enum_basis so a missing degree-t monomial is surfaced
as an invariant failure via expect rather than silently skipped; preserve the
existing result.add_basis_element call for valid lookups.

In `@ext/examples/resolve_motivic_ctau.rs`:
- Around line 39-46: Update the example to call the public
MotivicResolution::trivial_module helper instead of manually constructing
CTauAlgebra, FDModule, and BiVec, and replace the explicit FiniteChainComplex
type with the public CTauResolution alias. Preserve the existing Arc-wrapped
chain-complex construction and downstream behavior.

- Around line 206-210: Clamp the parsed MOT_MARGIN value to a minimum of 1

modules whose s = 0 cells lack determinable weights; ensure downstream methods
such as lift_generator, delta, mod_tau_support, and entry_weight never encounter
unseeded generators.
- Line 532: In the power calculation near the motivic cell construction,

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The non-convergence justification does not hold at the only call site.

lift_generator (Lines 345-346) calls lift_cell only when in_cone is true. Every lift_cell invocation is therefore an in-cone cell, and this comment states that in-cone cells converge. If the loop exhausts the 256-iteration cap, the code's own reasoning says a real invariant failed, yet the result is a debug! log and a silently partial differential. The solveNone path at Lines 693-695 carries the same stale "out of range" justification.

Promote the outcome so a genuine failure is visible.

Include a stable module identity in motivic-lift.bin. MotivicResolution::with_module accepts any module and save directory. Resolution::new_with_save validates cache dimensions only, not module actions. load_lift accepts a cache when only the magic and (max, compute) match, so two same-sized modules can reuse one cache and produce incorrect lifted differentials. Store a stable module/algebra fingerprint and reject mismatches.

Every cache I/O error in persist.rs is discarded. The save path and the load path both swallow io::Error, so a user who passes save_dir gets no diagnostic when the directory is unwritable, the disk is full, or motivic-lift.bin is corrupt.

Add a round-trip test for the lift cache.

No test passes a save_dir to MotivicResolution::with_module, so save_lift and load_lift are entirely uncovered. The failure mode of this code is silently wrong results rather than a crash, which makes the gap material.

Add a test that resolves a small box into a temporary directory, rebuilds from the same directory, and asserts three things: load_lift returns true, the reloaded weights and lifted equal the freshly computed ones, and a run with a different max rejects the cache.

Carve the motivic resolution layer out of the integration branch as the
next tranche after the algebra engine (SpectralSequences#266, merged).

Adds CTauAlgebra, the A_C/tau view the ordinary resolution engine resolves,
and MotivicResolution: resolve the trivial module over A_C/tau, then lift
the differential to A_C by correcting along the weight grading. Includes
the resolution cache and the resolve_motivic_ctau example.

A_C/tau is F_2[xi_i] tensor E(tau_i) — the odd-primary dual's shape with
2^i for p^i — so its product is the classical one at p = 2: the exterior
commutation shifts by 2^k and the signs collapse over F_2. It therefore
multiplies through `milnor_product` from the parent commit rather than
reimplementing the walk, and a test cross-checks that against the engine's
independent closed-form product, which comes from Kong-Lin duality instead.

Note that `milnor_product` takes its left factor first while the engine's
`product_indexed` orders its arguments the other way; the two agree exactly
under that transposition.

Parsing and product invariants in CTauAlgebra:

- `Q_k` with k >= 32 was shifted into a 32-bit exterior mask: a debug panic,
  and in release a masked shift that silently produced the wrong monomial.
  Module descriptors are untrusted input, so reject it instead.
- A product term absent from the degree-t basis was skipped. `enum_basis`
  holds every such monomial, so a miss is a broken invariant, not a term to
  drop; say so.
- Reuse the `PPartAllocation` across basis products rather than allocating
  one per call.
- The decomposition residual check guarded a silently wrong result, so it
  now holds in release too.

In the resolution:

- `MOT_MARGIN` below 1 shrank the compute box under the report box, so
  readers indexed generators the lift never populated. Clamp it.
- The tau-power cast wrapped a negative difference to near u32::MAX, which
  also defeated the `power >= 1` test guard. Fail on it.
- Only the (s=0, t=0) generator is seeded with a weight, so a module that is
  not cyclic on a degree-0 class left generators unweighted and panicked in
  the verify path far from the cause. Reject such modules up front. Seeding
  caller-supplied cell weights is left for the follow-up that needs them.

The example now uses `trivial_module` and the `CTauResolution` alias instead
of rebuilding both.

Opening the save directory is a recoverable I/O condition that
`Resolution::new_with_save` already reports as a `Result`; turning it into a
panic left callers of a public constructor no way to handle a bad or
unwritable path. Propagate it instead.

The examples that build resolutions live in the follow-up tranches, so they
are updated when those rebase onto this.

723-732: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The non-convergence justification still contradicts the only call site.

lift_generator (Line 344) calls lift_cell only when in_cone is true. Every lift_cell call is therefore an in-cone cell. The comment states that in-cone cells converge, so exhausting the 256-iteration cap means a real invariant failed. The code reports that failure with tracing::debug! and returns a partial differential. Raise the log level, or propagate the failure. The solveNone path at Lines 710-712 carries the same stale justification.

recoverable error handling for unsupported generators, and propagate that error
through with_module using ?. Update the module_from_json rustdoc example or
wording so it no longer advertises unsupported modules as valid input.

Comment thread ext/src/motivic/mod.rs
Now that the constructors return `Result`, the cyclic-module restriction is
reportable: `compute_weights` bails instead of asserting, and `with_module`
propagates it.

The `module_from_json` example (the Moore space) is cyclic on x_0 and so is
supported; say what the restriction actually is rather than leaving a reader
to find it by hitting it.
