docs: add the Inside Edict architecture explainer - #209
Conversation
Add docs/EXPLAINER_inside-edict.md, a draft zero-familiarity walkthrough of the toolchain as implemented in crates/, written against the code rather than the specs. It follows the hello-echo fixture from source through the front-end check, Core IR, Target IR, the domain-framed digests (reproduced independently in Python), and the Wasmtime provider crossing, then records a measured claims-versus-code ledger: check accepts a zeroed lawpack digest that the golden check rejects, project cannot take a lawpack and exits 0 with errors, the only in-repo lowerer is a fixture returning CBOR null, the ExecutableOperation build kind has no end-to-end test, and the README's nutrition-label, HOLMES, and reveal passages have no implementation. All five Mermaid diagrams validated with mmdc. Index the document in docs/README.md and note it under Unreleased/Added. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UFEnDmv9L1VGJp3PCrG2GX

In `@docs/EXPLAINER_inside-edict.md`:
- Line 566: Update the prose containing “proven end to end” to use the compound
modifier “proven end-to-end,” without changing the surrounding documentation.
- Around line 17-24: Update the explanatory body of the document so each
material technical claim receives a [claim:<claim-id>, confidence:<value>] tag
at its first occurrence, followed by a repository-relative path, line number,
and Git SHA citation. Add a collapsed citations appendix at the end of the
explanatory body containing the referenced evidence, while preserving the
existing claims and structure.
- Line 5: Restructure the documentation so this page has one primary job: a
zero-familiarity walkthrough of the Edict toolchain. Move sections 5–7,
including the audit report, evidence map, and maturity roadmap, to a separate
audit page and link to it from this walkthrough, preserving the existing content
without mixing reader goals.
- Around line 94-96: Update the Hello Echo output, size and digest examples,
test total, and CI ledger in the inside-edict explainer so they are generated
from or explicitly recorded as dated evidence from the existing lawpack-goldens
and cli-goldens fixtures, preventing the documentation from drifting from
validated results.

Tests must assert software behavior and stable error kinds or structured artifacts, not implementation details, prose, paths, or merely `is_err()`; documentation-tool tests may test validator behavior.

…findings Move the claims ledger, measurement method, and maturity criteria into docs/audit/2026-09-10_inside-edict-claims-audit.md so the explainer has one reader job, and mark both pages as dated snapshots of e4fa81d because the hello-echo fixture digests have since changed on main. Correct claims flagged in review: lawpacks are digest-locked, not signed; only the build path derives facts from a lawpack; Core keeps the effect coordinate for Target IR lookup; the edict.digest/v1 frame covers canonical artifacts only; the provider host permits the type-only protocol import; both build kinds are public and executableOperation is the default; project exit 0 on compiler errors is the CLI-REQ-014 contract; the provider sandbox is distinct from the unimplemented runtime sandbox; arbitrary is present transitively via cranelift-codegen.

Summary
Adds
docs/EXPLAINER_inside-edict.md, a draft zero-familiarity walkthrough of the toolchain as implemented incrates/, written against the code and real binary runs rather than the specs. The README and specs appear only on the claims side of a claims-versus-code ledger.The document follows the
fixtures/lawpack/hello-echo/example end to end:edict checkJSONL, the decoded Core module, the decoded Target IR step, and the digest chain (manifest digest pinned in source → Coreimports→ Target IRsemanticClosure→ Target IR digest);["edict.digest/v1", <domain>, <value>], reproduced independently in Python for both the Core and Target IR goldens;compile_to_core), the lawpack digest check inprepare_lawpack_compilation, thebuild_applicationcrossing, and the Wasmtime host configuration and limits.Findings recorded (all at
e4fa81dd; onlycrates/edictwas added onmainsince)edict checkis parse + surface validation and accepts a zeroed lawpack digest with exit 0;cargo xtask lawpack-goldens --checkrejects the same tamper.projectcannot take a lawpack, so the canonical example cannot be projected through the CLI; without facts it reportsstate: blocked/MissingContextFactand still exits 0.0xf6(CBORnull); theExecutableOperationbuild kind has no end-to-end test inedict-cli.reveal(not a keyword), the sandbox banner wrong in both directions, Current Status still says "beyond JSONLcheck" although the CLI has three operations.xtask verify, the goldens loop,contract-check, and any fuzzing.include_bytes!inedict-syntax/tests/lawpack.rs; what CI lacks is the xtask regenerate-and-diff loop.Closes with a "what mature looks like" checklist ordered by how much of the README each item would make true.
