gate.rs

1//! ⟨0.24⟩ THE GATE — SPEC §6.2 matching over an ALREADY-ACCUMULATED signature, and the ONLY copy of
2//! that matching in the stable toolchain.
3//!
4//! **THE SEAM.** [`GateInput`] is the boundary between *what produced the signature* and *what §6.2
5//! does with it*. Every field is already accumulated: this module runs no fixpoint, opens no file and
6//! consults no scan state, so the same matching code serves both routes in —
7//!
8//!   - `candor-scan … --policy <f>` builds a `GateInput` from the classifier's transitive accumulators
9//!     (`crate::gate::policy_violations`, which is now a thin wrapper);
10//!   - `candor-query gate --report <loc> --policy <f>` (SPEC §3.1 ⟨0.24⟩) builds one from a WRITTEN
11//!     report and nothing else.
12//!
13//! That split is the whole point of §3.1 ⟨0.24⟩: until it existed the gate was reachable only THROUGH
14//! the classifier, so a defect in the gate and a defect in the classifier were indistinguishable from
15//! any test that could be written. Do NOT re-implement the matching on the report side — the §6.2
16//! clause that mandates the verb was written about exactly that mistake.

162///
163/// **WHY IT IS A FUNCTION NOW.** It was inline in [`gate`], and the provable-purity disclosure
164/// ([`crate::policy::unverified_hole_rule`]) carried its own second copy that asked a coarser question:
165/// "does the rule NAME an effect this function has?", computed from `r.effects` alone. That copy could
166/// not see a narrowing filter, so it disagreed with the gate on exactly the rules the ⟨0.24⟩ rung added
167/// — and the disagreement ran the LOSING way. A hole is a function that PASSES its rule while `Unknown`,
168/// so a rule the gate TOLERATES (`deny Unknown[reflect]` over an `indirect` hole) was read by the
169/// disclosure as a violation-that-isn't and dropped from the output: `unverified` printed **"every
170/// function in a pure/deny layer is PROVABLY clean ✓"** over a function the gate had just declined to
171/// clear. MEASURED 2026-07-28 on a one-function crate; reachable with NO alias in play, one layer below
172/// the alias-widening defect `ea0df4f` closed.
173///
174/// The caller does the SCOPE test and owns the disposition of `withheld`; this answers only "given that
175/// this rule governs this function, what does it charge, and what could it not evaluate?".
176///
177/// `reason_classes` is the ACCUMULATED (post-fixpoint) class set — `None`/empty means the signature
178/// carries none, which is NOT determinable and is withheld, never floored. `net_classes` is the fn's
