What

W1c of the bindspace→mailbox_soa arc — adds MailboxSoA::populated(), the prefilter-bound fix the 3-brutal-critic pass surfaced. Strictly additive, tested, nothing deleted.

The bug it pre-empts (PP-13 P1-3)

A zeroed MetaWord passes MetaFilter::accepts (0 >= 0, thinking_mask == 0 accepts all). So a row-bounded sweep (the migration read-shim's meta_prefilter analogue) clamped to the capacity N (e.g. 1024) would return N − len phantom rows versus a BindSpace window of len — silent divergence in the W2 differential. MailboxSoA previously had no logical-size field (n_rows() returns the const N).

Change (crates/cognitive-shader-driver/src/mailbox_soa.rs)

  • MailboxSoA<N> gains populated: usize + populated() / set_populated() (clamped to N).
  • Semantics mirror BindSpace::len: a declared size set once (just as BindSpace::zeros(len) fixes len) — not a per-write high-water-mark, and not shrunk by reset_row (clearing a row's contents doesn't change len). Defaults to 0.
  • Row-bounded sweeps clamp to populated(), never n_rows().

Test (17 mailbox_soa green, clippy clean)

test_mailbox_soa_populated_is_declared_len_not_capacity: default 0; n_rows()=N distinct from populated(); reset_row does not shrink it; set_populated clamps to N.

Why now

Unblocks W2 (the differential harness builds a mailbox with set_populated(len) and clamps its prefilter to populated(), so it sweeps exactly the rows a BindSpace window of len would). Per the consolidated + 3-brutal-critic-hardened wiring plan (bindspace-mailbox-soa-wiring-v1.md, v2). Column migration (W1+W1b) is already on main; this is the last small additive prerequisite before the W2 differential and the W3+W4a atomic read/write re-point.

    • Fixed view implementations to respect the declared logical row count instead of scanning capacity padding, ensuring correct iteration bounds and preventing unnecessary processing of uninitialized rows.

…d fix)

The fix the 3-brutal-critic pass flagged (PP-13 P1-3): a zeroed MetaWord passes
MetaFilter::accepts (0>=0, thinking_mask==0 accepts all), so a row-bounded sweep
clamped to the capacity N (e.g. 1024) returns N−len phantom rows vs a BindSpace
window of len. The migration read-shim's meta_prefilter analogue MUST clamp to a
logical row count, not n_rows().

- MailboxSoA<N> gains `populated: usize` + `populated()` / `set_populated()`
  (clamped to N). Semantics mirror BindSpace::len: a DECLARED size set once
  (BindSpace::zeros(len) fixes len), NOT a per-write high-water-mark and NOT
  shrunk by reset_row. Defaults to 0 (empty mailbox).
- Additive only; nothing deleted; BindSpace untouched.
- test_mailbox_soa_populated_is_declared_len_not_capacity: default 0; n_rows()=N
  distinct from populated(); reset_row does not shrink; set_populated clamps to N.
  17 mailbox_soa tests green, clippy clean.

Unblocks W2 (the differential harness clamps its mailbox prefilter to populated()).
Per the consolidated+critiqued wiring plan (bindspace-mailbox-soa-wiring-v1.md, v2).

🚦 How do rate limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan refill rate.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, the refill rate gradually slows as usage increases.

Walkthrough

MailboxSoA gains a populated: usize field representing the declared logical row count, initialized to 0 in new(). Two new methods (populated(), set_populated() with clamping to N) expose it. MailboxSoaView::n_rows() now returns populated instead of N. A new unit test covers all new semantics.

Poem

🐇 A row is a row, but only if filled,
Not padded with zeros, capacity-willed.
populated now tells us the true count declared,
n_rows() won't wander through emptiness bared.
I clamp, I reset, I test every case —
No stray zeroed rows shall intrude on my space! 🌿

P1 Badge Use populated row bounds in MailboxSoaView

This test cements n_rows() as capacity even after set_populated(4), but the contract trait documents MailboxSoaView::n_rows as the populated row count and downstream generic readers like SoaWavePrimer::project bound their row loop with soa.n_rows(). In the populated < N migration case this means any code receiving MailboxSoA through the trait still scans rows 4..1023, so the zeroed MetaWord phantom-row divergence this change is meant to prevent remains for the shared view surface; n_rows() (or an equivalent trait-visible bound) needs to reflect self.populated before callers can safely clamp through MailboxSoaView.

Fixed in 018b0cd5 — and you caught a genuine contract-alignment bug, not just a test nit. The contract MailboxSoaView::n_rows() is documented "Number of populated rows in the SoA", but the MailboxSoA impl returned the capacity N, so generic view consumers (markov_soa / SoaWavePrimer::project, which bound 0..soa.n_rows()) scanned the zeroed padding rows populated..N through the shared trait surface.

MailboxSoaView::n_rows() now returns self.populated, aligning the impl with its own doc. populated() (inherent) and n_rows() (trait) now agree; N stays the type-level capacity const; edges_raw()/meta_raw() still return the full backing slice (consumers bound by n_rows(), the documented 0..n_rows() pattern). W1c test updated (n_rows() tracks populated(): 0 empty → 4 after set_populated(4) → 1024 after clamp). 17 mailbox_soa tests green incl. the scheduler driving loop; clippy clean. markov_soa is cross-crate generic (never receives a real MailboxSoA) so unaffected.

…apacity N

Codex P1: the contract MailboxSoaView::n_rows() is documented "Number of
populated rows in the SoA", but the MailboxSoA impl returned the const capacity
N. Generic view consumers (e.g. SoaWavePrimer::project / markov_soa, which bound
their row loop with soa.n_rows()) therefore scanned the zeroed padding rows
populated..N through the shared trait surface — the exact phantom-row divergence
W1c's inherent populated() prevents for the migration read-shim but NOT for the
view surface.

Fix: MailboxSoaView::n_rows() now returns self.populated (aligning the impl with
its own documented contract). populated() (inherent) and n_rows() (trait) now
agree; N stays the type-level capacity const. edges_raw()/meta_raw() still return
the full backing slice (consumers bound by n_rows(), the documented pattern).

W1c test updated to assert n_rows() tracks populated() (0 when empty, 4 after
set_populated(4), 1024 after clamp). 17 mailbox_soa tests green incl. the
scheduler driving loop; clippy clean. markov_soa is cross-crate generic (never
receives a real MailboxSoA) so unaffected.

clarify that n_rows() now returns the declared populated value (not the
capacity), that no write path implicitly updates population, and that callers
must explicitly manage population tracking. Ensure the language makes clear that
n_rows() is semantically bound to the populated field and emphasize the manual
population management requirement to prevent future misuse.

After the codex P1 fix bound MailboxSoaView::n_rows() to `populated`
(no longer the const capacity N), three doc sites still described the
OLD semantics. CodeRabbit (PR #519) flagged all three as a doc/code
mismatch that would breed future misuse:

- field doc (~L168): "MUST clamp to populated, never to n_rows() (= N)"
  was self-contradictory now that n_rows() == populated(). Reworded:
  clamp to the logical populated count, not the type-level capacity N;
  noted n_rows() is now bound to populated so either is safe, only N
  is wrong.
- new() init comment (~L232): "until a write bumps the mark" was false
  (no write path bumps populated implicitly). Reworded to "until
  set_populated(...) declares the size".
- populated() getter doc (~L305): "clamp to this, never to n_rows()"
  was stale. Reworded to the logical-size framing and made the
  manual-declaration (never per-write-counter) requirement explicit.

Doc-only; semantics unchanged. 17 mailbox_soa tests green, clippy clean,
no broken intra-doc links.
