8+
| Multi-hop bugs filed | ✅ DONE | Issue #872 created |
9+
| Alloy README update | ✅ DONE | Scope/limitations documented |
10+

## Issues Created
13+
14+
- **#871**: Meta: GFQL Testing & Verification Roadmap
15+
- **#872**: Fix multi-hop + WHERE backward prune bugs in cuDF executor
16+
17+
## Branch Structure
18+
19+
```
20+
master (includes PR #851 hop ranges - MERGED)
21+
└── PR #846: feat/issue-837-cudf-hop-executor (same-path executor)
22+
└── PR #852: feat/issue-838-alloy-fbf-where (alloy proof) ← CURRENT

```
24+
25+
## Execution Order
26+
27+
### Phase 1: PR #846 Tests (on branch `feat/issue-837-cudf-hop-executor`)
28+
29+
**Status: ✅ COMPLETE**
30+
31+
Tests added to `tests/gfql/ref/test_cudf_executor_inputs.py`:
32+
33+
| # | Test | Status | Notes |
34+
|---|------|--------|-------|
35+
| 1 | WHERE respected after min_hops backtracking | xfail | Bug #872 |
36+
| 2 | Reverse direction + hop range + WHERE | xfail | Bug #872 |
37+
| 3 | Non-adjacent alias WHERE | xfail | Bug #872 |
38+
| 4 | Oracle vs cuDF parity comprehensive | xfail | Bug #872 |
39+
| 5 | Multi-hop edge WHERE filtering | xfail | Bug #872 |
40+
| 6 | Output slicing + WHERE | ✅ PASS | Works correctly |
41+
| 7 | label_seeds + output_min_hops | ✅ PASS | Works correctly |
42+
| 8 | Multiple WHERE + mixed hop ranges | xfail | Bug #872 |
43+
44+
**Key Finding**: The cuDF executor has architectural limitations with multi-hop edges + WHERE:
45+
- Backward prune doesn't trace through intermediate edges
46+
- `_is_single_hop()` gates WHERE filtering
47+
- Non-adjacent alias WHERE not applied
48+
49+
These are documented in issue #872 for future fix.
50+
51+

52+
53+
### Phase 2: Rebase PR #852 onto master
54+
55+
```bash
56+
git checkout feat/issue-838-alloy-fbf-where
57+
git fetch origin
58+
git rebase origin/master
59+
# Resolve any conflicts
60+
git push origin feat/issue-838-alloy-fbf-where --force-with-lease
61+
```
62+
63+
---
64+
65+
### Phase 3: PR #852 Verification Updates (on branch `feat/issue-838-alloy-fbf-where`)
66+
67+
**Status: ✅ COMPLETE**
68+
69+
| # | Change | File | Status |
70+
|---|--------|------|--------|
71+
| 1 | Clarify hop ranges NOT formally verified | `alloy/README.md` | ✅ DONE |
72+
| 2 | Note reliance on Python parity tests | `alloy/README.md` | ✅ DONE |
73+
| 3 | State verified fragment precisely | `alloy/README.md` | ✅ DONE |
74+
75+
**P1 - Add scenario checks (optional, strengthens claims)** - Deferred to future work.
76+
77+
**Next steps:**
78+
```bash
79+
git checkout feat/issue-837-cudf-hop-executor
80+
git stash pop # Apply the test changes
81+
git add -A && git commit
82+
git push origin feat/issue-837-cudf-hop-executor
83+
# Wait for CI green, then merge PR #846 to master
84+
```

## Test Implementation Details
89+
90+
### Test 1: WHERE after min_hops backtracking
91+
92+
```python
93+
def test_where_respected_after_backtracking():
94+
"""
95+
Graph: a -> b -> c -> d (3 hops)
96+
a -> x -> y (2 hops, dead end for min_hops=3)
97+
98+
WHERE: a.value < d.value
99+
100+
Backtracking for min_hops=3 should:
101+
1. Prune x,y branch (doesn't reach 3 hops)
102+
2. Keep a,b,c,d path
103+
3. THEN apply WHERE to filter paths where a.value < d.value
104+
105+
If WHERE not re-applied after backtracking, invalid paths may remain.
106+
"""
107+
```
108+
109+
### Test 2: Reverse direction + WHERE
110+
111+
```python
112+
def test_reverse_direction_where_semantics():
113+
"""
114+
Graph: a -> b -> c -> d (forward edges)
115+
116+
Chain: [n(name='start'), e_reverse(min_hops=2), n(name='end')]
117+
WHERE: start.value > end.value
118+
119+
Starting at 'd', reverse traversal reaches:
120+
- c at hop 1, b at hop 2, a at hop 3
121+
122+
With min_hops=2, valid endpoints are b (hop 2) and a (hop 3).
123+
WHERE compares start (d) vs end (b or a).
124+
125+
Verify WHERE semantics are consistent regardless of traversal direction.
126+
"""
127+
```
128+
129+
### Test 3: Non-adjacent alias WHERE
130+
131+
```python
132+
def test_non_adjacent_alias_where():
133+
"""
134+
Chain: [n(name='a'), e_forward(), n(name='b'), e_forward(), n(name='c')]
135+
WHERE: a.id == c.id (aliases 2 edges apart)
136+
137+
This WHERE clause should filter to paths where the first and last
138+
nodes have the same id (e.g., cycles back to start).
139+
140+
Risk: cuDF backward prune only applies WHERE to adjacent aliases.
141+
"""
142+
```
143+
144+
### Test 4: Oracle vs cuDF parity (parametrized)
145+
146+
```python
147+
@pytest.mark.parametrize("scenario", COMPOSITION_SCENARIOS)
148+
def test_oracle_cudf_parity(scenario):
149+
"""
150+
Run same query with Oracle and cuDF executor.
151+
Verify identical results.
152+
153+
Scenarios cover all combinations of:
154+
- Directions: forward, reverse, undirected
155+
- Hop ranges: min_hops, max_hops, output slicing
156+
- WHERE operators: ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=
157+
- Topologies: linear, branch, cycle, disconnected
158+
"""

## README Update for PR #852

165+
```markdown
166+
## Scope and Limitations
167+
168+
### What IS Formally Verified
169+
170+
- WHERE clause lowering to per-alias value summaries
171+
- Equality (==, !=) via bitset filtering
172+
- Inequality (<, <=, >, >=) via min/max summaries
173+
- Multi-step chains with cross-alias comparisons
174+
- Graph topologies: fan-out, fan-in, cycles, parallel edges, disconnected
175+
176+
### What is NOT Formally Verified
177+
178+
- **Hop ranges** (`min_hops`, `max_hops`): Approximated by unrolling to fixed-length chains
179+
- **Output slicing** (`output_min_hops`, `output_max_hops`): Treated as post-filter
180+
- **Hop labeling** (`label_node_hops`, `label_edge_hops`, `label_seeds`): Not modeled
181+
- **Null/NaN semantics**: Verified in Python tests
182+
183+
### Test Coverage for Unverified Features
184+
185+
Hop ranges and output slicing are covered by Python parity tests:
186+
- `tests/gfql/ref/test_enumerator_parity.py`: 11+ hop range scenarios
187+
- `tests/gfql/ref/test_cudf_executor_inputs.py`: 8+ WHERE + hop range scenarios
188+
189+
These tests verify the cuDF executor matches the reference oracle implementation.

26+
## Scope and Limitations
27+
28+
### What IS Formally Verified
29+
- WHERE clause lowering to per-alias value summaries
30+
- Equality (`==`, `!=`) via bitset filtering
31+
- Inequality (`<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`) via min/max summaries
32+
- Multi-step chains with cross-alias comparisons
33+
- Graph topologies: fan-out, fan-in, cycles, parallel edges, disconnected
34+
35+
### What is NOT Formally Verified
36+
- **Hop ranges** (`min_hops`, `max_hops`): Approximated by unrolling to fixed-length chains
37+
- **Output slicing** (`output_min_hops`, `output_max_hops`): Treated as post-filter
38+
- **Hop labeling** (`label_node_hops`, `label_edge_hops`, `label_seeds`): Not modeled
39+
- **Null/NaN semantics**: Verified in Python tests instead
40+
- **Hashing**: Treated as prefilter and omitted (exactness rechecked in model)
41+
42+
### Test Coverage for Unverified Features
43+
Hop ranges and output slicing are covered by Python parity tests:
44+
- `tests/gfql/ref/test_enumerator_parity.py`: 11+ hop range scenarios
45+
- `tests/gfql/ref/test_cudf_executor_inputs.py`: 8+ WHERE + hop range scenarios
46+
47+
These tests verify the cuDF executor matches the reference oracle implementation.
48+
49+
