Adds LibDecimalFloat.agree(absolute, proportional, lowest, highest):

highest - lowest <= max(absolute, proportional * max(abs(lowest), abs(highest)))

Why it belongs here rather than in a consumer

It cannot be composed from the public surface. That surface reverts
ExponentOverflow rather than truncating an exponent, and both abs and sub
do so at the extremes:

  • abs(min-negative-value) cannot fit the magnitude back into an int224 with
    the exponent already at its maximum.
  • The spread from the most negative to the most positive representable value
    fits no packed value at all.

Both verified by probe before writing this. A closeness test asked about
representable values should answer rather than revert, so it has to work below
that surface. testAgreeAcrossTheWholeRange pins it, and
testAgreeNeverReverts fuzzes arbitrary bit patterns in all four operands to
assert the no-revert promise directly.

The unpacked comparison set

eq was the only comparison on unpacked values, so anything working below the
public surface had to reach for compareRescale and compare its results by
hand. agree needed one, and adding lte alone would have left the library
answering the same question at different levels depending on which operator you
reached for.

So the whole set now lives unpacked in LibDecimalFloatImplementation —
lt, lte, gt, gte, min, max beside the existing eq — and the packed
lt, gt, lte and gte unpack and delegate to it, which is how packed eq
already worked. Each of those four packed bodies previously hand-rolled
compareRescale plus a bare operator; that logic exists once now. No behaviour
change: the 72 existing packed comparison tests pass untouched.

Also added:

  • absCoefficient — magnitude without repacking. Exact, because an unpacked
    coefficient is an int224 widened to an int256, where the packed abs has to
    fit it back into an int224 and cannot.

The design

Both tolerances, and the LARGER of the two terms is the limit. A
proportional tolerance alone collapses as the values approach zero, because the
quantity it is a proportion of shrinks with them — -0.001 and 0.001 read as
200% apart while agreeing by any practical measure. An absolute tolerance alone
does not scale.

The same form as math.isclose
(PEP 485) and Julia's isapprox.
numpy.isclose
sums the two terms instead.

The proportion is of the larger magnitude of the two extremes. Every other
value in a set lies between them, so that is the largest magnitude in the set.
One anchor for the set is what makes a single highest-to-lowest check
equivalent to checking every pair.

Tolerance validity is the caller's business. A negative tolerance is
dominated by the other term; two zero tolerances make this an exact equality
test. Consumers needing those rejected can reject them.

The precision boundary, documented rather than changed

agree accepts a spread an exact comparison would refuse, when the spread
lands exactly on the limit and the subtraction discarded digits that would have
carried it over. agree(0, 1, -1e-100, 1) is such a case: the real spread is
1 + 1e-100, needing 101 significant digits against the coefficient's 76, so
sub returns exactly 1 and 1 <= 1 holds.

Left as is, for two reasons. sub reports that same spread as exactly 1 when
asked directly, so resolving the boundary the other way would put agree at
odds with the library's own arithmetic and make it stricter than every other
operation here. And the excess admitted is bounded by one unit in the last place
of the aligned coefficient — under 1e-76 of the spread's own magnitude, with
alignment capped at ADD_MAX_EXPONENT_DIFF.

Raised by CodeRabbit, reproduced, and answered in thread. Correcting it properly
needs remainder-aware add and sub unpacked — the sign of the discarded
remainder decides the comparison, so a lossy flag is not enough — which is a
change to the library's precision model rather than a local fix in agree.

The boundary is stated in the natspec with its mechanism and bound, and pinned
so the claim cannot drift.

QA

  • Discriminating tests: all 26 in LibDecimalFloat.agree.t.sol, the 16 in the absCoefficient / lte / max files and the 9 in LibDecimalFloatImplementation.comparisons.t.sol fail on base, where these functions do not exist and the files do not compile. Within the design, boundaries are constructed to distinguish it from its alternatives: the proportional boundary rejects if anchored on the lower value, testAgreeLimitIsTheLargerNotTheSum uses a spread falling between the max and the sum, testAgreeStraddlingZero fails if the anchor is the highest rather than the furthest from zero, and testDualities pins the four new comparisons to each other rather than leaving each independently plausible. testAgreeBoundaryCliffLocated locates the precision cliff by walking the exponent gap and asserts the transition happens exactly once, which sampling either side of it cannot do.

  • Mutations applied: 12 via mutation-probe, 12/12 killed, 0 survived, 0 no-run, 0 harness errors, against a baseline the probe proved green at 157.

    • F01 lte boundary <= -> < → KILLED by testLteSameExponent, testLteReflexive, testLteTotalOrder, +2
    • F02 unpacked max returns the smaller → KILLED by testMaxSameExponent, testMaxDifferentExponents, testMaxDoesNotRescaleTheWinner, +2
    • F03 absCoefficient is a no-op → KILLED by testAbsCoefficientMostNegativeIsExact, testAgreeAgainstIntegerOracle, testAgreeBoundaryMirroredAboutZero, +2
    • F04 spread computed backwards → KILLED by testAgreeAcrossTheWholeRange, testAgreeBoundaryCliffLocated, testAgreeAgainstIntegerOracle, +2
    • F05 absolute term dropped → KILLED by testAgreeAbsoluteBoundary, testAgreeBoundaryExactOnlyToRepresentablePrecision, testAgreeExtremeTolerance, +2
    • F06 proportional term dropped → KILLED by testAgreeBoundaryCliffIsScaleInvariant, testAgreeBoundaryLossIsOneDirectional, testAgreeAgainstIntegerOracle, +2
    • F07 unpacked lt accepts equality (< -> <=) → KILLED by testLtOneEAny, testGteXNotLtY, testMinXYLess, +2
    • F08 unpacked gt accepts equality (> -> >=) → KILLED by testGtX, testGtOneEAny, testMaxXYGreater, +2
    • F09 unpacked gte refuses equality (>= -> >) → KILLED by testGteX, testGteXEAnyVsXEAny, testMinTieReturnsB, +2
    • F10 unpacked min returns the larger → KILLED by testMin, testMinMaxPartitionThePair, testMinTieReturnsB
    • F11 packed lt wired to unpacked gt → KILLED by testLtExamples, testLtReference, testLtNegativeVsPositive, +2
    • F12 packed gte wired to unpacked lte → KILLED by testGteReference, testGteXNotLtY, testGteXPositiveYNegative, +2

    F11 and F12 are the mutants this PR most needed. Four packed functions now
    route through one unpacked set, so a mis-wiring is a single token that still
    compiles and still looks right. F12 survived a first run against a narrower
    suite scope — not because coverage was missing, but because the scope excluded
    LibDecimalFloat.gte.t.sol. Scope widened to every suite exercising the
    changed code, and it dies there.

  • Oracle: testAgreeAgainstIntegerOracle computes the predicate in plain int256 arithmetic sharing nothing with this library, over a domain where both paths are exact. testAgreeMatchesIntegerComparisonInsidePrecision does the same away from the cliff, which bounds the imprecision to the cliff rather than leaving it as something that might apply anywhere. Fixed-case expectations are derived from highest - lowest <= max(absolute, proportional * max(abs(lowest), abs(highest))) before running, not read back from output. The extremes case is derived from the packing bounds — a spread of ~2^224 exceeds an int224 coefficient — and confirmed by probing that packed abs and sub revert on those inputs. The cliff position is derived from ADD_MAX_EXPONENT_DIFF and then confirmed by the walk, not asserted from a single observation.

  • Category check: adds one public function, the comparison set it needs, and absCoefficient; all covered by their own tests. The only change to existing functions is the four packed comparisons delegating instead of hand-rolling, which is behaviour preserving and held by their 72 existing tests plus the two wiring mutants.

Note on the scoped probe baseline

The probe runs against the suites reachable from this change rather than the
full suite, because the full suite has two pre-existing fuzz failures unrelated
to it, both of which reproduce on origin/main:

They reproduce on base at 14 and 27 fuzz runs respectively, and testSubPacked
was reproduced again on main at ae02d84 with the identical counterexample
while preparing this PR. CI shows main green because the fuzz corpus had not
reached those inputs; seeding it while probing surfaces them. Anyone running
this suite to judge the library should know that green is seed luck on those
two.

Structure

agree is split into private helpers because one frame holding four unpacked
values plus the intermediates exceeds the stack.

Context

Written for agree in rainlanguage/rainlang#592, which currently carries this
logic in the opcode. Once this releases, that word becomes a stack walk for the
extremes plus one call. Until then the logic exists in two places, and this is
the copy under review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a decimal-float comparison that checks whether two values fall within the larger of an absolute or proportional tolerance.
    • Tolerance limits are compared, not added. With both tolerances set to zero, values must be equal; negative tolerances are not validated.
    • Comparison operations now support values with different exponents, using representable-precision arithmetic.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for tolerance boundaries, signed and scaled values, equivalent representations, comparison ordering, precision limits, and extreme values.

…erance

`agree(absolute, proportional, lowest, highest)` is

    highest - lowest <= max(absolute, proportional * max(abs(lowest), abs(highest)))

It belongs here rather than in a consumer because it cannot be composed
from the public surface. That surface reverts ExponentOverflow rather
than truncating an exponent, and both `abs` and `sub` do so on the
extremes: `abs(min-negative-value)` cannot fit the magnitude back into
an int224 with the exponent already at its maximum, and the spread from
the most negative to the most positive representable value fits no
packed value at all. A closeness test asked about representable values
should answer, not revert, so it has to work below that surface.

Doing that needed three primitives the implementation library did not
have. `eq` was the only comparison on unpacked values, so callers
staying below the public surface had to reach for `compareRescale` and
compare its results by hand:

- `abs` / `absCoefficient` — magnitude without repacking, exact because
  an unpacked coefficient is an int224 widened to an int256.
- `lte` — comparison without repacking.
- `max` — the larger of two, without repacking.

On the design: both tolerances are taken and the LARGER of the two
terms is the limit. A proportional tolerance alone collapses as the
values approach zero, since the quantity it is a proportion of shrinks
with them; an absolute tolerance alone does not scale. Taking the larger
rather than the sum is the form math.isclose (PEP 485) and Julia's
isapprox use; numpy.isclose sums them, which PEP 485 rejects because two
tolerances of similar size then allow about twice the intended
difference.

The proportion is of the larger magnitude of the two extremes. Every
other value in a set lies between them, so that is the largest magnitude
in the whole set, and holding one anchor for the set is what makes a
single highest-to-lowest check equivalent to checking every pair.

`agree` is split into private helpers because one frame holding four
unpacked values and the intermediates exceeds the stack.

Walkthrough

The decimal float library adds agree, which compares the spread between two values with the larger of absolute and proportional tolerances. It also adds unpacked-value comparison and selection helpers, and routes public comparison operations through the implementation library. Foundry tests cover comparison behavior and agreement boundaries.

Slither's unused-return detector reads `return f(...)` on a
tuple-returning call as an ignored return value, failing the static CI
job on all three agree helpers. Each now binds the result to locals and
returns those.

No behaviour change; agree stays at 11 passing and slither goes from 3
results to 0.

The first cut of these tests carried 11 cases where the rainlang opcode
has 37. Most of that gap is correct — integrity, parse errors, operand
handling, the stack walk and the list-level property are all opcode
concerns that do not belong here. Four things were arithmetic and should
have moved:

- straddling zero: the anchor is whichever end is further from zero, not
  simply the highest.
- a zero anchor collapses the proportional term whatever its size.
- the proportional term scales with the values and the absolute does
  not, which is the reason for taking both.

And the strongest test did not move at all. Everything here was a
hand-derived assertion, so a misread of the formula would have been
written into both the code and its expectations with nothing to catch
it. `testAgreeAgainstIntegerOracle` computes the predicate in plain
int256 arithmetic sharing nothing with this library, over a domain where
both paths are exact, so the two can disagree.

That also gives the file its first fuzz coverage; every case before this
was fixed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two things this repo's conventions expect that the first cut skipped.

`abs(coefficient, exponent)` was added and never called — `agree` uses
`absCoefficient`. Removed, with its rationale folded into the function
that survives.

`absCoefficient`, `lte` and `max` had no test files, against a clear
per-function convention here that 15 existing files follow. They were
reachable only through `agree`, so a defect in one would have surfaced
as a confusing `agree` failure rather than where it lived. Each now has
its own file covering the case that motivates it: `absCoefficient` on
the most negative coefficient, where the packed form cannot produce the
answer at all; `lte` and `max` on operands with different exponents,
where the larger coefficient is not the larger value.

The mutation probe shows the difference. `lte`'s boundary and `max`
returning the smaller were previously caught only downstream in `agree`;
they are now killed by the tests for the functions themselves.

Blocked on #279, not on anything in this diff.

rainix-sol / static is the only red check here; the other seven pass. That
failure is forge lint -D warnings, which rainix added to the shared workflow
on 2026-09-15 and which fails on unmodified main — every open PR in this repo
is red on it. #279 fixes it.

I verified locally that this branch merged with #279 compiles all 101 files and
reports zero lint warnings, so agree introduces none of its own and needs no
changes. Once #279 lands, merge main in here and static goes green.

The natspec argued for taking the larger of the two tolerance terms by
comparing `math.isclose`, `isapprox` and `numpy.isclose` and relaying
what PEP 485 says about summing. Those are other languages' libraries;
they are not why this library does it, and quoting their reasoning made
an appeal do work the paragraph above it already does on this library's
own terms.

The external implementations stay as a one-line pointer for a reader who
wants prior art. The discussion comparing them is gone.

`agree` needed a comparison on unpacked values, because the spread it
checks may exceed what packs, and it added `lte` alone. That left the
library with `lte` unpacked and `lt`/`gt`/`gte` only packed: the same
question answered at different levels depending on which operator you
reach for, and an open invitation to bolt on the missing three the next
time something needs one.

The set now lives at the unpacked level. `lt`, `gt` and `gte` join `eq`
and `lte` there, plus `min` beside `max`, and the packed `lt`, `gt`,
`lte` and `gte` unpack and delegate — which is how packed `eq` already
worked. The four packed bodies each hand-rolled `compareRescale` and a
bare operator; that logic now exists once.

No behaviour change: the 72 existing packed comparison tests pass
untouched.

Tests for the four new unpacked functions, including the dualities that
pin them to each other rather than leaving each independently plausible
(`gt(a,b) == lt(b,a)`, `gte == !lt`, `lte == lt || eq`), `lt`
transitivity across rescaling, and that `min`/`max` partition the pair
they are given.

Full suite: 53 suites, 485 tests, 0 failed. Lint, fmt and slither clean.

Handle minimum-exponent endpoints without requiring maximization.

`agree` accepts a spread that an exact comparison would refuse, when the
spread lands exactly on the limit and the subtraction discarded digits
that would have carried it over. `agree(0, 1, -1e-100, 1)` is such a
case: the real spread is 1 + 1e-100, needing 101 significant digits
against the coefficient's 76, so `sub` returns exactly 1 and 1 <= 1
holds.

Documented rather than changed. `sub` reports that same spread as
exactly 1 when asked directly, so resolving the boundary the other way
would put `agree` at odds with the library's own arithmetic, and the
excess it admits is bounded by one unit in the last place of the aligned
coefficient — under 1e-76 of the spread's own magnitude.

Nine tests, because a documented claim with nothing asserting it rots:

- The cliff is LOCATED rather than sampled. Walking the exponent gap
  1..120 pins the flip at ADD_MAX_EXPONENT_DIFF + 1 and asserts the
  transition happens exactly once, so a scatter of accepts and refusals
  would fail where sampling two points could not tell the difference.
- The cliff is scale invariant across seven orders of magnitude, which
  is what distinguishes a relative precision limit from an absolute one.
- The loss is one directional: with both extremes positive the discarded
  term shrinks the spread, and the truncated and exact answers agree, so
  the imprecision cannot cause a refusal.
- A refusal is always backed by `sub` reporting a spread over the limit,
  fuzzed across gaps straddling the cliff.
- The mechanism is asserted directly, not inferred: `sub` on those
  operands returns exactly 1.
- Inside precision the check is exactly the integer comparison, which
  bounds the imprecision to the cliff instead of leaving it as something
  that might apply anywhere.

The gap constant is named once rather than cast twice. Plain `//` and not
natspec, because solc rejects a doc comment on a file level constant and
`-D warnings` makes that fatal.

Full suite 53 suites, 494 tests. The one failure, `testSubPacked`
reverting ExponentUnderflow, reproduces on main at the same fuzz seed
with the same counterexample and is untouched by this change. Lint, fmt
and slither clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
`agree`'s natspec promises an ANSWER rather than a revert for
representable values, and that promise is the whole reason the function
works unpacked. Nothing asserted it.

Two tests. A fuzz over arbitrary bit patterns in all four operands,
tolerances included, so nothing about the packing is assumed sane; and
the exact counterexample `testSubPacked` fails on, driven through
`agree`.

That second one is the case worth pinning. `sub` reverting
`ExponentUnderflow` is a live bug in this library, but it is in the
PACKED wrapper, which packs the result. `agree` never packs back, so it
cannot inherit it. That now rests on a test rather than on reading the
call graph, and a future change to the packing path cannot quietly make
`agree` revert.

Mutation coverage for the comparison set added in the previous commit:
12/12 killed against a baseline the probe proved green at 157, over
every suite that exercises the changed code. The six new mutants cover
`lt`, `gt`, `gte` and `min` at their equality boundaries, `min` returning
the larger, and two MIS-WIRINGS of the packed delegations — packed `lt`
routed to unpacked `gt`, packed `gte` routed to `lte`. The wiring
mutants are the point: four packed functions now route through one
unpacked set, so a mis-wire is a single token that still compiles and
still looks right.

@coderabbitai assess this PR size classification for the totality of the PR with the following criterias and report it in your comment:

S/M/L PR Classification Guidelines:

This guide helps classify merged pull requests by effort and complexity rather than just line count. The goal is to assess the difficulty and scope of changes after they have been completed.

Small (S)

Characteristics:

  • Simple bug fixes, typos, or minor refactoring
  • Single-purpose changes affecting 1-2 files
  • Documentation updates
  • Configuration tweaks
  • Changes that require minimal context to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 5-10 minutes

Examples:

  • Fix typo in variable name
  • Update README with new instructions
  • Adjust configuration values
  • Simple one-line bug fixes
  • Import statement cleanup

Medium (M)

Characteristics:

  • Feature additions or enhancements
  • Refactoring that touches multiple files but maintains existing behavior
  • Breaking changes with backward compatibility
  • Changes requiring some domain knowledge to review

Review Effort: Would have taken 15-30 minutes

Examples:

  • Add new feature or component
  • Refactor common utility functions
  • Update dependencies with minor breaking changes
  • Add new component with tests
  • Performance optimizations
  • More complex bug fixes

Large (L)

Characteristics:

  • Major feature implementations
  • Breaking changes or API redesigns
  • Complex refactoring across multiple modules
  • New architectural patterns or significant design changes
  • Changes requiring deep context and multiple review rounds

Review Effort: Would have taken 45+ minutes

Examples:

  • Complete new feature with frontend/backend changes
  • Protocol upgrades or breaking changes
  • Major architectural refactoring
  • Framework or technology upgrades

Additional Factors to Consider

When deciding between sizes, also consider:

  • Test coverage impact: More comprehensive test changes lean toward larger classification
  • Risk level: Changes to critical systems bump up a size category
  • Team familiarity: Novel patterns or technologies increase complexity

Notes:

  • the assessment must be for the totality of the PR, that means comparing the base branch to the last commit of the PR
  • the assessment output must be exactly one of: S, M or L (single-line comment) in format of: SIZE={S/M/L}
  • do not include any additional text, only the size classification
  • your assessment comment must not include tips or additional sections
  • do NOT tag me or anyone else on your comment
