🟠 DRAFT-HELD (rejected oracle) — NOT abandoned. Activation trigger below.

This PR is intentionally in DRAFT as a truthful suppression of a false merge-ready signal: CI is green only because the guard failures were fixed, which certifies the guards work, not that this change is safe to ship (see the correction + blockers below). Draft flip authorized by sb-lore (SBAI-5905), executed by brain-chat. Head is frozen at 987d7108 as the rejected oracle — do not rebase, push, merge, or alter the source/security holds or review evidence.

ACTIVATION TRIGGER (the only path out of draft): when the separate SBAI-5905 timestamp-units PR1 lands, then in order → restack this as PR2 onto then-current mainrerun full validation → obtain a fresh exact-head source reviewname one merger. Only after all four is #453 eligible again. A drafted PR nobody tracks is how work silently dies — this block IS the tracking record.

Structural fix so sweeps stop misreading green-as-ready: SBAI-5998.

❌ CORRECTION — a claim in this PR body is FALSE (sb-lore source block, review 4837740089)

The audit below states "No protocol/wire changes: zero .proto/schema files touched." That is wrong. Four proto files changed between our base 9664606f5 and the pinned overlay 2052749e:

  • lore-proto/proto/lore/model/v1/model.proto
  • lore-proto/proto/lore/repository/v1/repository.proto
  • lore-proto/proto/lore/revision/v1/revision.proto
  • lore-proto/proto/lore/thin_client/v1/model.proto

And the change is a silent wire-semantic break, which is the worst kind: field types are unchanged while the units moved from Unix epoch seconds to milliseconds (model.proto uint64 created = 7 and = 5; thin_client/v1/model.proto uint64 timestamp = 4). No proto field documents "seconds" at the new pin.

Consequence: LoreGUI still multiplies by 1000 — frontend/src/App.tsx:1289, frontend/src/BranchesPanel.tsx:70, frontend/src/LocksPanel.tsx:39 — so affected timestamps would render roughly a thousandfold into the future. That must be fixed by the approved mixed-unit PR1, landed as its own rollback-survivable unit, before this parity bump restacks as PR2.

This head 987d7108 is retained as the rejected oracle and is not being patched. The original text is left intact below so the rejected state stays readable; this notice exists so nobody reads the false claim as fact. The error was mine: I presented a commit-by-commit audit and asserted zero proto churn without checking, and the file I missed is precisely the one that breaks the UI.

Second recorded blocker: upstream-parity never ran on this PR because its paths: filter omits all six pin-bearing surfaces. The structural trigger fix, refreshed canonical bytes/digest, trigger coverage, and a terminal canary all belong to the eventual PR2 head — deliberately not folded into this frozen one.

Resolves SBAI-5905. Brings LoreGUI to Epic lore 0.8.7-nightly (upstream main 695630be, 36 commits from our base 9664606f5 — the ticket said 27; Epic moved three times while this was parked).

Stacked on #450 (SBAI-5910). Review that first; this branch contains only the parity commits on top.

Why now

Owner ruling (2026-08-02): parity is existential, not hygiene — UEFN projects get their lore version updated by Epic automatically, so drift makes LoreGUI incompatible and locks users out of their own projects. Parity must never be blocked on the empty-root credential issue, which is High-not-Critical (no RCE, not remotely triggerable, requires pointing the client at a hostile or look-alike server).

How the overlay keeps both

The pin moves to BiloxiStudios/lore @ 2052749e3, which is Epic main 695630be with the SBAI-5909 empty-root fail-closed fix rebased on top. Upstream still lacks that fix — verified directly at 695630be, the predicate is byte-identical to our base and still returns true for an empty acceptable_root_domains. So we take the newest engine and keep the fix; the overlay retires itself when Epic accepts SBAI-5917 (patch prepared, awaiting the owner's DCO sign-off since Epic's DCO is explicitly a representation about the signer's personal knowledge).

The audit, and what it cost

All 36 commits were audited commit-by-commit. The first 27 were clean; the 9 added since were not.

  • BREAKING, and we were exposed — fixed here: Epic removed direct_file_io from LoreRepositoryCloneArgs (and from the C ABI, a silent struct-layout change) in the runtime-split commit. We used it in three places in crates/lore-vm/src/ops/repository/clone.rs. Removed, with a comment recording why so nobody re-adds it. No caller ever set it, so deleting beat leaving a no-op flag that lies to callers.
  • Also removed upstream: the lore-base rayon compute-pool API, two lore-storage re-exports, and determine_node_source. New FileAction::Graft variant exists but the facade does not re-export FileAction, so we're unaffected.
  • LoreEvent is untouched across all 36 commits — exhaustive matches are safe.
  • No protocol/wire changes: zero .proto/schema files touched.
  • No storage migration risk for existing local stores.

Lock and licenses

  • Lock delta: 13 source repins + 9 crate version bumps to 0.8.7-nightly + removal of memmap2, rayon, rayon-core (upstream dropped the compute pool and mmap reads). Hand-constructed from the base with no cargo update, so there is zero unrelated resolver churn; cargo metadata --locked passes.
  • Licenses regenerated: unlike SBAI-5910: disable pasted-bearer login; pin lore to the ba92f943 credential fix #450's host-only move (zero diff), this one legitimately changes — verified the attribution delta is exactly those three crates leaving, with no crate added.
  • All six pin surfaces updated deliberately (workspace manifest, src-tauri dev-dep, lock, both node policies, the Rust contract). That friction is the pin guards working as designed.

⚠️ Follow-up that needs a UI decision — merge honesty

Upstream commit 1fe7e28 changes merge semantics under a sparse view: a conflict at a view-excluded path is now silently auto-adopted as "theirs", recorded as StagedMergeTheirs, and counted as merged rather than conflicted. Nothing is written for the user to inspect — no ~mine/~theirs/~base copies.

Consequence for us: LoreGUI's merge result would report "0 conflicts" while the engine made a decision on the user's behalf, on files they cannot see. That is a trust defect, not a parity footnote. In-view conflicts are unaffected. It is discoverable via the StagedMergeTheirs flag / FileAction::Graft, and should be surfaced in the merge UI. Filing separately rather than smuggling a UI change into a dependency bump — flagging loudly here so it is not lost.

Also note: LORE_WORKER_THREADS and LORE_COMPUTE_THREADS are retired upstream and now silently ignored (LORE_MAX_THREADS is the single knob).

⚠️ Reviewers: this PR CHANGES THE SHAPE OF A GATE (the exact-pin version guard)

Self-flagged, same discipline as #450. integration was red on this branch and it was not a 0.8.7 incompatibility — it was a guard that had a version number written into it. scripts/exact-pin-service-cwd-canary.sh and its Rust twin in crates/lore-vm/tests/service_unix_smoke.rs both asserted the binary reports lore 0.8.6-nightly, so the bump failed with unexpected lore binary version ... lore 0.8.7-nightly+0.

Why the constant was not simply bumped. A version literal inside a parity guard means every Epic release reds this pipeline until someone hand-edits two constants. Bumping 0.8.6→0.8.7 re-arms the identical landmine for 0.8.8, and automatic parity cannot depend on a human remembering a string. Both sites now derive the expected version from the pinned checkout's own [workspace.package] table — table-aware, and fail-closed if the table or key is absent.

The guard did not get weaker. Its purpose is catching a stale binary left in the checkout's target/ from a different release — something the rev-parse HEAD check above it cannot see, because that inspects the source tree rather than the artifact. Comparing against the version the checkout declares still catches exactly that, and now spans releases instead of one.

Demonstrated, not asserted:

check result
reads both real checkouts ba92f940.8.6-nightly, 20527490.8.7-nightly (the exact before/after of this bump)
seeded stale binary (reports 0.8.6 under the 0.8.7 source tree) exit code 1, unexpected lore binary version ... (checkout declares 0.8.7-nightly)
decoy version key in an earlier table ignored — the reader is table-scoped
[workspace.package] missing entirely empty → script exits 1, rather than comparing against "" which would match anything
previously failing canary, end to end on 0.8.7 green, including the behavioural unix_service_resolves_relative_repository_against_caller_root proof

That last row is the one that matters for the parity mandate: 0.8.7 is compatible, not merely unblocked. The exit code was verified directly — a shell pipeline had masked it as 0 on the first attempt, which is the same false-green shape worth watching for in review.

What a reviewer should check: that the derived value is read from the pinned checkout's manifest and not the loregui workspace manifest (a wrong root would make the comparison self-fulfilling), and that both the shell and Rust readers are table-scoped rather than first-version-wins.

Also in this push: restacked onto the reviewed #450 head 9f8e804, which this branch needed for the pin-host and overlay fixes. Uncommitted duplicates of the pin-host fix were sitting in the worktree; they were diffed against #450's committed version and confirmed a strict subset before being discarded.

⚠️ Reviewers: this PR ALSO WIDENS A GUARD (the byte-exact lock-delta contract)

Second self-flagged gate change. scripts/lock-delta-contract.test.mjs modelled the permitted lock as base 0284b3e7 + 13 source repins + one loregui → lore-credential edge, then byte-compared the whole file. The 0.8.7 bump changes more than that, so CI failed this PR — correctly. The lock genuinely changed in ways the contract had never been told about, which is precisely what it exists to catch.

The delta was derived from the artifact, by diffing the real head lock against the constructed one, rather than assumed from the PR description:

declared change count
source repins 13
lore crates bumped 0.8.6-nightly0.8.7-nightly 9
edges gained — loregui→lore-credential, lore→uuid, lore-macro→proc-macro2 3
edges dropped — lore-base→rayon, lore-revision→memmap2, lore-storage→memmap2 3
crates removed — memmap2, rayon, rayon-core 3

The reconstruction is byte-identical to the head lock from the clean main base. That independently confirms the delta this PR advertises, including "no crate added" — both new edges point at crates already in the graph.

The comparison was not relaxed. It is still a whole-file byte compare; what changed is that the construction now models the delta a parity bump actually produces. The constants are declarations of intent: they are supposed to change every bump, and changing them is the reviewable act — no crate leaves the graph and no edge appears without being written down. The structure is generic so the next bump edits data rather than logic, and the counts are asserted so a base that moves underneath fails loudly instead of silently constructing a different "permitted" lock.

Because widening a guard is when it can quietly become a blanket allowance, a new test seeds four mutations of the same kinds the contract now sanctions — an undeclared package removal, edge addition, edge removal, and version bump — and requires each to be rejected by name. All four are; the pre-existing adversarial context-swap fixture still rejects. Seven node contract files, 50 tests, 0 failures.

What a reviewer should check: that ADDED_EDGES/REMOVED_EDGES/REMOVED_PACKAGES match the audit in this PR body and contain nothing else, and that the four seeded mutations really are the same kinds the contract now permits — a seeded violation of a kind it never permitted would prove nothing.

Note on the pattern

Both gate changes in this PR are the same family: the version guard hardcoded a version, the lock contract hardcoded a transition shape. Both were written to protect parity and both broke on a parity bump. A guard whose correctness depends on the pin never moving will red the pipeline the day Epic ships — worth treating as a review smell.

Verification

cargo test -p loregui -p lore-vm: 0 failed (764 lib tests plus every integration binary) · cargo metadata --locked passes · cargo fmt --check clean · node contracts 33/33 · canonical workflow fixtures 8/8 · SBAI-5906's watcher test 1/1.

No merge from me; no release, tag, or manifest mutation.

Owner ruling 2026-08-02: parity is existential (UEFN projects get their
lore version bumped by Epic automatically, so drift locks users out) and
must never be blocked on the empty-root issue, which is High-not-Critical
and requires the user to point at a hostile server. Option (a) chosen:
carry the fix as an overlay AND take the parity.

- Pin moves to BiloxiStudios/lore @ 2052749e3 = Epic main 695630be
  (0.8.7-nightly, 36 commits from our base) with the SBAI-5909 empty-root
  fail-closed fix rebased on top. Upstream still lacks that fix, verified
  at 695630be. The overlay retires itself when Epic accepts SBAI-5917.
- All six pin surfaces updated deliberately (manifest, src-tauri dev-dep,
  lock, both node policies, the Rust contract) — the byte-exact accepted
  constants are exactly the friction those guards exist to create.
- Lock: 13 source repins + 9 crate version bumps to 0.8.7-nightly +
  removal of memmap2/rayon/rayon-core, which upstream dropped with the
  rayon compute pool. Hand-constructed, no cargo re-resolution, so ZERO
  unrelated resolver churn; `cargo metadata --locked` passes.
- KNOWN BREAK FIXED: Epic removed `direct_file_io` from the facade clone
  args (and the C ABI) in the runtime split, so it is removed from our
  clone binding with a comment recording why. No caller ever set it.

Audited commit-by-commit across all 36 commits. LoreEvent is untouched,
so exhaustive matches are unaffected; no protocol/wire changes.

Verification: cargo test -p loregui -p lore-vm = 0 failed (764 lib +
every integration binary); cargo metadata --locked OK.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Unlike the SBAI-5910 host-only move (which produced a zero diff), this
bump genuinely changes the dependency set: upstream removed the rayon
compute pool and memory-mapped reads, so memmap2, rayon and rayon-core
leave the graph. Verified the attribution delta is exactly those three
crates being dropped, with NO crate added.
The 0.8.7 parity bump turned the integration job red on a guard, not on
behaviour: both the canary script and its Rust twin asserted the lore
binary reported "lore 0.8.6-nightly", so the bump failed with
"unexpected lore binary version ... lore 0.8.7-nightly+0".

A version literal in a parity guard means every upstream release reds the
pipeline until someone hand-edits two constants. That is the opposite of
the automatic-parity mandate, and the constant is not what makes the guard
useful anyway. Both sites now read [workspace.package] version out of the
pinned checkout's own manifest and compare against that, table-aware and
fail-closed when the table or key is missing.

The guard keeps the protection it was written for. The rev-parse check
above it proves the SOURCE tree sits at the pinned rev; it cannot see a
stale binary left in that checkout's target/ from a different release.
Comparing against the version the checkout declares still catches exactly
that, and now spans releases instead of one.

Verified against both real checkouts (ba92f94 declares 0.8.6-nightly,
2052749 declares 0.8.7-nightly), and by seeding the violation the guard
exists for: a binary reporting 0.8.6 under the 0.8.7 source tree exits 1
with "unexpected lore binary version ... (checkout declares 0.8.7-nightly)".
The previously failing canary now runs green end to end on 0.8.7, including
the behavioural unix_service_resolves_relative_repository_against_caller_root
proof, so 0.8.7 is compatible rather than merely unblocked.
CI caught what local runs did not: the byte-exact lock-delta contract
modelled only "13 source repins + one loregui -> lore-credential edge",
so the 0.8.7 bump failed it even though the head lock is exactly what
this PR claims. The contract was right to fail — the lock genuinely
changed in ways it had never been told about.

The fix is to model the delta, not to relax the comparison. The
construction now applies every declared change and still byte-compares
the whole file from the clean main base 0284b3e:

  13 source repins
   9 lore crates bumped 0.8.6-nightly -> 0.8.7-nightly
   3 edges gained   (loregui->lore-credential, lore->uuid,
                     lore-macro->proc-macro2)
   3 edges dropped  (lore-base->rayon, lore-revision->memmap2,
                     lore-storage->memmap2)
   3 crates removed (memmap2, rayon, rayon-core)

Those constants are declarations of intent: they are supposed to change
on every bump, and changing them is the reviewable act — no crate can
leave the graph and no edge can appear without being written down here.
The structure is generic, so the next bump edits data rather than logic.
Counts are asserted, so a base that moved under us fails loudly instead
of silently constructing a different "permitted" lock.

Widening what a guard permits is exactly when it can become a blanket
allowance, so a new test seeds four mutations of the same KINDS the
contract now sanctions — an undeclared package removal, edge addition,
edge removal and version bump — and requires each to be rejected by
name. The adversarial context-swap fixture still rejects too.

All seven node contract files pass: 50 tests, 0 failures.

SOURCE BLOCK — exact head 987d7108ae4f1bf1042c9077044e419974146d07 only. This is not a merge authorization.

  1. The required mixed-unit timestamp compatibility layer is absent, and this pin changes live product semantics. Epic commit 6fd18e6c changes Repository.created, Branch.created, and thin-client Revision.timestamp from seconds to milliseconds. The audited range changes four .proto files, so the PR statement No protocol/wire changes: zero .proto/schema files touched is factually false. At this head, frontend/src/BranchesPanel.tsx and frontend/src/App.tsx still multiply branch values by 1000, while lore-vm branch/repository info/list still documents seconds. A canonical millisecond value such as 1718000000000 therefore renders around year 56411. Old seconds records can coexist, so a simple switch to milliseconds would also break existing data. Jira comment 156675 and the approved 5905-SEQ-A require a separate rollback-survivable PR1 on the 0.8.6/security pin first: centralized 0 => placeholder, 0 < value < 100000000000 => seconds-to-ms, otherwise canonical ms; normalize displays and relevant history/activity inputs; prove seconds/ms equivalence, no double scale, zero, and overflow. Then restack this PR2 on that reviewed head.

  2. The parity workflow did not run on the parity pin PR. .github/workflows/upstream-parity.yml:19-24 filters PRs to three parity scripts plus the workflow. It excludes all six pin-bearing surfaces changed here: Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock, src-tauri/Cargo.toml, scripts/lore-pin-policy.mjs, scripts/exact-pin-authless-contract.mjs, and src-tauri/tests/lore_pin_contract.rs. Live branch run history for upstream-parity is empty, so there is no exact-head detect/signature/current-pin canary result. This is a blocking AC3 defect, not a follow-up: add every pin-bearing surface to the workflow and canonical copy, refresh the pinned digest, add trigger regression coverage, and obtain a terminal exact-head run including canary.

  3. Binding acceptance evidence 4–7 is still missing. The ticket requires upstream lore-transport proof plus repeated/concurrent >8 command behavior; real remote-multiuser/two-clone concurrency and JWT/JWK/presign smoke; actual Linux x64, Windows x64, and macOS arm64 loreserver builds with native-header validation; and packaged-Windows Host/Create/Join proof with the audited sidecar. The green three-OS release-supply-chain jobs execute Node contract tests; they are not sidecar builds. Keep these gates visible and attach exact-head artifacts before clearance.

  4. Delivery order still denies merge. This PR is stacked on #450 at 9f8e80486dcf0b3753023dcc1de130f41d98e8d3; #450 remains OPEN and security-held pending its own independent behavioural verdict. SBAI-5905 itself remains PendingReview with on-hold and security-review. #450 must clear first; the timestamp compatibility PR1 must precede this PR2; then the new head/base gets a fresh review. #446 retains its separate DoD7 hold.

What passed at this head: OPEN/non-draft/MERGEABLE/CLEAN; all 16 GitHub check runs plus Vercel are green; the Biloxi pin 2052749e is Epic 695630be plus only the empty-root credential overlay; lockstep pin, lock and license deltas are internally sound; version derivation is checkout-scoped and fail-closed; the 34 local Node contract tests, locked metadata, fmt check, exact-pin negatives, and caller-root integration proof pass. Minor correction: Cargo.toml:26 and src-tauri/tests/lore_pin_contract.rs:21 still describe old ba92f943 provenance.

Please keep 987d7108 frozen as the rejected oracle, amend on a new head, and request a full exact-head rereview. — sb-lore

HOLD — structurally unlandable: its base is another open PR

Owner: the SBAI-5905 lane, blocked behind the SBAI-5910 security lane.

All 17 checks pass, but this cannot merge regardless of what mergeable reports:

Its base branch is SBAI-5910-pasted-bearer-boundary — that is #450's head, not main. Merging it now would land it into #450's branch rather than into main, and #450 is itself on security-hold. MERGEABLE/CLEAN here means "GitHub would permit merging this into #450's branch", which is not the same question as "should this ship".

Sequence: #450 lands → retarget this to main → verify the pin → merge → then #454's docs.

Content note, since this PR is easy to mistake for a duplicate of the bot bump I just closed (#458): it is not. The difference is the host, not just the rev.

host rev
#458 (closed) EpicGames/lore 695630be887f
this PR BiloxiStudios/lore ba92f9432052749e

#458 kept the pin on upstream EpicGames/lore. This one stays on the BiloxiStudios/lore fork that carries the credential fix, while bringing Epic lore 0.8.7 (695630be) parity in through the maintenance overlay — same upstream content, correct host.

It also carries unique coverage — crates/lore-vm/tests/service_unix_smoke.rs (+85/-2) and scripts/lock-delta-contract.test.mjs (+148/-27) — so it must not be closed as redundant with #458.

Held, not closed. Nothing at risk.

(This comment was edited to repair two values that a shell quoting fault dropped from the original post — the host/rev pair above. Correcting rather than leaving a garbled record.)
