Profiling a 10,000-write engine tick showed most of its commit time in three places, none of them rule work: - The patch digest fed BLAKE3 one field at a time, about eight calls per op. It now gathers the same bytes and hashes them in one call, so BLAKE3 can hash several chunks at once. The digest is unchanged; the golden vectors GV-001 to GV-004 pin it. - Reservation built the tick's in and out slots as BTreeSets, which the patch then sorted and deduplicated again. They are now plain vectors, sorted and deduplicated once by the patch. - The patch canonicalized ops through a BTreeMap. A stable sort followed by a last-wins pass over equal keys gives the same order and the same survivors. A new test compares it with the map it replaced over 400 ops that repeat keys. Carried onto main from f118d7e on claude/stack-envelope, as an isolated candidate. The conflict was only lazy-blockers context; main's eager blocked_by is kept unchanged.

Add baseline-derived compatibility vectors for WarpTickPatchV1 (crates/warp-core/src/tick_patch/compat_vectors.rs). Four vectors hand `WarpTickPatchV1::new` unsorted inputs with repeats: - every-kind: every WarpOp variant and each sub-variant the encoding distinguishes (OpenPortal Empty/RequireExisting, UpsertWarpInstance with and without parent, SetAttachment clear/atom/empty atom/Descend), every SlotId kind, all four attachment owner/plane pairs, a 1,100-byte payload (over one BLAKE3 chunk on its own), Committed status. - last-wins: a repeated key for every op variant, with differing values where the op carries one; same edge id from another source and different kinds on one target, which must both survive; Aborted status. - slots-only: repeated slots of every kind, no ops, policy u32::MAX. - generated: 400 ops and 300 slots from a fixed LCG over a small key space. Each vector pins the patch digest, the digest-input length, the full digest-input bytes in hex (all but `generated`), and the canonical order of in_slots, out_slots and ops as indices into the inputs (ops: the last equal input op, i.e. the last-wins survivor). How the expected values were captured. A detached scratch worktree at main 0faaf58 (/Users/j/git/echo-claude-cpvec, created and removed under the .git/ lock) received the same fixture, appended as a test-only module, and a capture test that printed each value: 1. Unmodified main: printed digests and canonical orders. 2. Main with only `use blake3::Hasher` replaced by a scratch shim that forwards every update to blake3::Hasher unchanged and records the bytes: printed the input bytes, their length and BLAKE3 of the recorded bytes. Digests and orders were identical to run 1, and BLAKE3 of the recorded bytes equalled each digest. The pinned literals were generated from run 2's output file by script, not typed. Logs: scratchpad runners/logs/cpvec-capture-pure.log and cpvec-capture-shim.log. The tests on this branch: the vectors match bytes, length, digest and order; `validate_digest` accepts each patch; a coverage test fails to compile on a new op, slot, owner or plane variant and fails if a covered kind leaves the vectors; and the replaced canonicalizers (BTreeMap last-wins for ops, BTreeSet for slots) are kept as an oracle over every vector, beside the existing randomized `op_canonicalization_matches_the_last_wins_map_it_replaced`. To expose the bytes, `compute_patch_digest_v2` now hashes the output of `patch_digest_input_v2`, which holds the unchanged encoding. Consumers of the unsorted slot vectors. Reservation's `in_slots` and `out_slots` (now Vec with repeats, formerly BTreeSet) are built only in `reserve_for_receipt`, carried only in `ReserveOutcome`, destructured only in `commit_with_receipt`, and passed, unread, straight into `WarpTickPatchV1::new`, which sorts and dedups them before anything else. Nothing between (rewrites digest, rule execution, materialization, touched_diff) reads them, and an error or panic drops them. Every other reader (application trie advance, worldline slicing, provenance codec, settlement, observation, coordinator, trusted runtime host, echo_operation) reads `patch.in_slots()`/`out_slots()`, the canonical lists. So no consumer can observe a repeat. The new engine witness `overlapping_footprints_commit_the_same_sorted_slot_sets` commits rewrites whose footprints overlap across rewrites (shared reads) and within one footprint (read and written), and checks the patch carries exactly the sorted, repeat-free union the BTreeSet collection held.

Collecting a tick's slots as plain vectors with repeats (747f320) made peak memory grow with the sum of all footprint claims instead of the distinct slots, and the patch kept the full repeat-sized capacity after dedup, so a committed patch retained it too. Measured with a new peak-live-bytes witness, crates/echo-alloc-witness/tests/commit_overlap_peak.rs (its own counting allocator, which tracks live bytes and their peak; no global elsewhere). 4,096 rewrites, each reading the same 64 nodes and their attachments and writing its own attachment, against a control tick with no shared reads. Peak live bytes above the commit's start, from the logs (scratchpad runners/logs/peak3-*.log): revision control peak overlap peak overlap net live main 0faaf58 15,604,360 58,538,568 -56,143,480 747f320 15,357,224 166,091,952 52,043,144 this commit 15,357,224 60,447,920 -56,143,480 So 747f320 raised the overlapping tick's peak 2.8x over main and kept about 108 MB live after the commit. Now: - `push_slot` compacts a full slot list (stable sort and dedup) before it grows, and doubles only when that frees less than half. The list holds at most about four times the distinct slots, and each compaction is paid for by at least half a list of pushes. - `WarpTickPatchV1::new` shrinks its slot lists to fit after dedup, as the former BTreeSet-to-Vec collection did implicitly. The overlapping peak is now 3.3% above main's. The witness asserts the overlapping peak stays under 6 times the control's: it fails on 747f320 (166,091,952 vs 15,357,224; log peak3-red-747f320c.log) and passes on main (peak3-main.log) and this commit (peak3-candidate.log). Total bytes allocated during the overlapping commit remain higher than main (423,807,536 vs 324,837,616), from the sort buffers and the gathered digest input; they are freed within the commit. Speed on the non-overlapping 10,000-write tick (study bench scheduler_workers, run in a scratch worktree, 31 rounds, alternating sources; logs bench-747-{1,2}.log, bench-cand-{1,2}.log): commit p50 with 1 worker 21.044 and 21.263 ms at 747f320, 21.184 and 21.956 ms with this change; with 18 workers 21.833 and 22.108 ms against 22.327 and 23.032 ms. That is up to about 3% slower than 747f320 on this bench. Slot order, patch bytes and digests are unchanged: the compatibility vectors and the overlapping-footprint engine witness pass.

Reservation already records every admitted footprint, once per key and in order, in the scheduler's conflict sets. The engine collected the same keys a second time into in_slots and out_slots. Read the slots from the conflict sets instead: each kind's read and written sets are merged in SlotId order, so the lists come out sorted and free of repeats with no further sort. This replaces the compacting slot vectors of 60bcf09, which bounded the peak-memory defect of 747f320 at some speed cost; the collection that held repeats is gone. Output ports gain their own set (ports_written), because the combined port set cannot tell b_in from b_out. The conflict sets are now taken at the end of the reserve phase instead of at finalize_tx. A commit whose rule panics leaves its transaction open, and the old sets then outlived it: committing the transaction again rejected any rewrite that overlapped the failed attempt, and reported InternalCorruption("scheduler rejected rewrite but no blockers were found"). The new witness a_failed_commit_leaves_no_reservations_behind fails that way on 60bcf09 and passes here; it also checks that the retry's slots exclude the failed attempt's.

rustfmt orders the new SlotId import and wraps one test line. The CHANGELOG records the behaviour change of ae19693: a transaction committed again after a panicked commit is judged on its own reservations. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Retain only the canonical operation capacity.
When duplicate WarpOpKey values occur, canonical reserves capacity for every input operation but stores only one operation per key. WarpTickPatchV1 retains that excess capacity after construction. Apply shrink_to_fit() after the last-wins pass so the retained patch does not keep storage for discarded operations.

Avoid copying large atom payloads into the digest input buffer.
patch_digest_input_v2 gathers the complete canonical encoding, including AtomPayload bytes, into a Vec<u8> before hashing. validate_digest calls the same encoder again. This adds a second payload-sized allocation compared with the previous streaming blake3::Hasher path.
If patch payloads are not bounded before this path, use streaming hashing for large encodings while retaining the gathered path for bounded patches.

Reusing a transaction after a failed commit is unsupported, so it now fails closed. commit_with_receipt runs the commit under catch_unwind; if it returns an error or a rule panics, the transaction leaves live_txs and the scheduler drops its reservations and pending queue before the error returns or the panic resumes. Applying to the transaction or committing it again then returns EngineError::UnknownTx, whose documentation already covers a closed transaction. This replaces ae19693's behaviour, which let the same transaction commit again with fresh reservations. On main, that path failed with InternalCorruption whenever a new rewrite overlapped the failed attempt. The witness a_failed_commit_closes_its_transaction fails on ca8c3a4's engine (applying to the failed transaction succeeds there) and passes here; it also checks that a new transaction's slots exclude the failed attempt's. Only the panic path is witnessed: commit's error exits before execution end in debug_assert!(false), so a test build panics on them instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
