Summary

  • Refactors jitos-graph so WarpNode stores payload_bytes: Vec<u8> instead of JSON.
  • Updates graph commit digest to hash payload bytes as-is (SPEC-WARP-0001), preventing JSON canonicalization from leaking into semantics.
  • Adds tests to lock determinism: insertion-order invariance and payload-bytes (not JSON semantics) sensitivity.
  • Updates M1 checklist to reflect this progress.

How to Verify

  • Run cargo test.
  • Run cargo fmt --all -- --check and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings.

Notes

  • This intentionally does not change NodeId allocation semantics (SPEC-0005).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Updates

    • Node payloads are now opaque byte sequences; edges may carry optional opaque bytes. Graph commit digest includes node and edge payload bytes; digest is byte-exact and byte-order sensitive (no JSON canonicalization).
  • Documentation

    • Roadmap checklist updated to mark related determinism/spec items as completed.
  • Chores

    • Simplified crate manifest by removing a workspace flag for a dependency.

✏️ Tip: You can customize this high-level summary in your review settings.

Walkthrough

Replaced JSON node/edge payloads with opaque byte payloads, removed the workspace flag for serde_json in the crate manifest, updated graph-commit digest hashing to include raw payload bytes (edge payloads optional; None vs Some([]) distinct), updated tests to use raw byte vectors and verify byte-exact hashing, and marked related roadmap determinism items complete.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Dependency Configuration
crates/jitos-graph/Cargo.toml
Removed serde_json.workspace = true from [dependencies], changing workspace resolution for serde_json.
Core Types & Hashing
crates/jitos-graph/src/lib.rs
Replaced WarpNode.data: serde_json::Value with payload_bytes: Vec<u8> and added WarpEdge.payload_bytes: Option<Vec<u8>>; graph commit digest, node/edge ID derivation, and commit structures now include raw payload bytes (presence and exact bytes affect identity and digest).
Tests
crates/jitos-graph/tests/graph_commit_digest_tests.rs
Updated test helpers/fixtures to accept raw byte vectors (br#"..."#.to_vec()); added/adjusted tests verifying graph hash invariants, payload-byte sensitivity, distinction between None and Some(vec![]) for edges, and byte-order sensitivity.
Documentation / Roadmap
docs/ROADMAP/M1-Kernel-Alpha/README.md
Marked SPEC-WARP-0001 and SPEC-WARP-0002 complete and clarified wording to state GraphCommitDigest treats node/edge payloads as opaque bytes (no JSON canonicalization).

34-34: Node-edge payload asymmetry creates architectural liability.

WarpNode carries payload_bytes: Vec<u8> and properly serializes it to NodeCommitV0 (SPEC-WARP-0001 compliant). WarpEdge, however, has no payload_bytes field. When converting edges to EdgeCommitV0, the field is hardcoded to None (line 120) with no mechanism to populate it.

Per SPEC-WARP-0001, edge payloads are optional, so None is technically valid. But this creates asymmetry: if future code needs to attach opaque data to edges (as it can to nodes), the current WarpEdge struct cannot represent it. Retrofitting this later requires invasive changes.

Either:

  1. Add payload_bytes: Vec<u8> to WarpEdge to match WarpNode's capability and allow actual edge payload usage.
  2. Document explicitly why edge payloads are intentionally unsupported despite being optional in the spec, and mark payload_bytes: None as a design constraint.

The current state—optional field that can never be populated—is a landmine for future maintainers.

13-25: LGTM: Test helper correctly updated to byte-based payloads.

The signature change from serde_json::Value to Vec<u8> aligns perfectly with the refactoring objective. Clean and straightforward.


28-74: Tests correctly updated for byte-based payloads.

Both tests properly verify:

  1. Insertion order invariance (lines 28-60): Critical for deterministic hashing
  2. Payload sensitivity (lines 62-74): Hash must change when payload changes

The use of JSON-shaped byte literals (br#"{"k":"A"}"#) is fine—they're still raw bytes, and the readability helps. The new test at lines 76-95 covers the critical case of byte-level vs semantic differences.

docs/ROADMAP/M1-Kernel-Alpha/README.md (2)

1-462: Documentation is consistent; no stale references or specification gaps.

Verification confirms that all referenced specification files (SPEC-0001, SPEC-0005, SPEC-NET-0001, SPEC-WARP-0001) exist and are present in docs/SPECS/. No stale references to old field names (WarpNode.data, serde_json::Value) or JSON payload semantics exist across the documentation. The M1 Kernel Alpha README and main ROADMAP README consistently use payload_b64 terminology with opaque byte semantics throughout. The coding guideline requirement to update READMEs and API documentation is satisfied—documentation properly reflects the binary payload model via base64 encoding, not JSON.


337-337: Specs exist and are properly documented—no action needed.

SPEC-WARP-0001 and SPEC-WARP-0002 are confirmed in docs/SPECS/ with matching content. SPEC-WARP-0001 explicitly states "payload_bytes are opaque bytes. The kernel MUST NOT interpret them for hashing," which aligns exactly with line 337's checklist item. Both specs define test requirements sections. The checklist marks at lines 337, 352–353 are justified.

✅ Addressed CodeRabbit feedback in commit 22232a3:

  • Clarified WarpNode.payload_bytes doc comment so it matches semantics (bytes are hashed as-is; no parsing/normalization).
  • Added WarpEdge.payload_bytes: Option<Vec<u8>> and included it in edge ID + commit digest so edge payloads are representable and deterministic.

@flyingrobots: I've analyzed commit 22232a3. While the WarpNode clarifications are solid, the edge payload implementation has CRITICAL GAPS that make this unshippable:

🔴 BLOCKER: ZERO TEST COVERAGE FOR EDGE PAYLOADS

Your tests only use payload_bytes: None. You have NO tests proving:

// MISSING: Does edge payload affect graph hash?
#[test]
fn graph_hash_changes_when_edge_payload_changes() {
    let mut g1 = WarpGraph::new();
    let a1 = insert_node(&mut g1, node_id(1), "A", b"data".to_vec());
    let b1 = insert_node(&mut g1, node_id(2), "B", b"data".to_vec());
    g1.edges.insert(WarpEdge {
        source: a1, target: b1, edge_type: "link".into(),
        payload_bytes: Some(b"payload1".to_vec()),
        attachment: None,
    });

    let mut g2 = WarpGraph::new();
    let a2 = insert_node(&mut g2, node_id(1), "A", b"data".to_vec());
    let b2 = insert_node(&mut g2, node_id(2), "B", b"data".to_vec());
    g2.edges.insert(WarpEdge {
        source: a2, target: b2, edge_type: "link".into(),
        payload_bytes: Some(b"payload2".to_vec()),
        attachment: None,
    });

    assert_ne!(g1.compute_hash(), g2.compute_hash());
}

// MISSING: Byte-level sensitivity (not JSON semantics)
#[test]
fn edge_hash_depends_on_payload_bytes_not_json_semantics() {
    // Parallel to your node test but for edges
    let mut g1 = WarpGraph::new();
    let a1 = insert_node(&mut g1, node_id(1), "A", b"x".to_vec());
    let b1 = insert_node(&mut g1, node_id(2), "B", b"y".to_vec());
    g1.edges.insert(WarpEdge {
        source: a1, target: b1, edge_type: "link".into(),
        payload_bytes: Some(br#"{"a":1,"b":2}"#.to_vec()),
        attachment: None,
    });

    let mut g2 = WarpGraph::new();
    let a2 = insert_node(&mut g2, node_id(1), "A", b"x".to_vec());
    let b2 = insert_node(&mut g2, node_id(2), "B", b"y".to_vec());
    g2.edges.insert(WarpEdge {
        source: a2, target: b2, edge_type: "link".into(),
        payload_bytes: Some(br#"{"b":2,"a":1}"#.to_vec()),
        attachment: None,
    });

    assert_ne!(g1.compute_hash(), g2.compute_hash(),
               "edge payload must be treated as opaque bytes");
}

🔴 BLOCKER: UNDOCUMENTED SEMANTIC AMBIGUITY

Line 120 in lib.rs: &e.payload_bytes is included in edge_id computation. This means:

// These will produce DIFFERENT edge IDs:
payload_bytes: None
payload_bytes: Some(vec![])

This is IDENTITY-LEVEL semantics (affects edge_id, not just state), but you have:

  • NO documentation explaining None ≠ Some(vec![])
  • NO tests proving this behavior
  • NO rationale for why this choice is correct

🟡 SEMANTIC DESIGN QUESTION: PAYLOAD IN EDGE IDENTITY

Your implementation makes edge payload part of edge identity (Line 115-125). This means:

  • Two edges with identical (source, target, edge_type, attachment) but different payloads are DIFFERENT EDGES
  • This differs from a model where payload is mutable edge state

Is this intentional? If yes:

  1. Document it explicitly in WarpEdge struct doc
  2. Add test proving two edges with same endpoints but different payloads coexist
  3. Explain why this is the right semantic choice

If no, edge_id should NOT include payload.

🟡 ASYMMETRY UNEXPLAINED

Line 48: Nodes have payload_bytes: Vec<u8> (required)
Line 60: Edges have payload_bytes: Option<Vec<u8>> (optional)

Why the asymmetry? What's the use case for:

  • An edge without payload (None)?
  • An edge with empty payload (Some(vec![]))?

If you can't articulate distinct use cases for these three states, collapse to Vec<u8> (like nodes) for consistency.

🟡 INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTATION

Line 58-60: Your doc comment says:

"If present, these bytes are hashed as-is for the graph commit digest."

This is INCOMPLETE. It should say:

"Optional opaque payload bytes for edge-level data (SPEC-WARP-0001).
These bytes (if present) are:

  1. Included in edge_id computation (affecting edge identity)
  2. Hashed as-is for the graph commit digest
    The kernel MUST NOT parse, decode, normalize, or otherwise interpret
    the structure or semantics of these bytes."

📋 MISSING SPEC CLARIFICATION

SPEC-WARP-0001 says EdgeId must be "stable and deterministic" but doesn't specify HOW it's derived. Your implementation derives it FROM payload. Consider:

  1. Adding a subsection to SPEC-WARP-0001 documenting edge_id derivation
  2. Or creating SPEC-0006-edge-identity if edge ID semantics deserve separate treatment

VERDICT

REJECT until:

  1. ✅ Add tests for edge payloads with Some(...) values
  2. ✅ Add test proving byte-level sensitivity for edge payloads
  3. ✅ Document None vs Some(vec![]) semantics or justify why it matters
  4. ✅ Clarify whether payload-in-identity is intentional + document
  5. ✅ Improve WarpEdge.payload_bytes doc comment to mention identity impact
  6. ⚠️ Consider: Justify asymmetry or make edge payload required like nodes

The WarpNode changes are excellent. The edge payload addition is architecturally sound but dangerously undertested and underdocumented.

1-1: CRITICAL: Remove the TypeScript directive from this Rust file.

// @ts-check is a TypeScript/JavaScript pragma that instructs type-checking tools. It has absolutely zero semantic meaning in Rust and indicates either:

  1. A copy-paste accident from a JS/TS file, or
  2. Some rogue tooling configuration artifact

27-62: Insertion order invariance test is structurally sound.

The test constructs two logically identical graphs with different insertion orders and verifies hash equality. The byte-literal payloads (br#"..."#.to_vec()) are idiomatic and explicit.

One observation: you're testing with JSON-shaped bytes, which is fine, but doesn't exercise the full generality of "opaque bytes." The prior review already flagged this—consider adding a companion test with truly arbitrary binary payloads (e.g., vec![0xFF, 0xFE, 0x00, 0x01]) to prove the system doesn't choke on non-UTF8 data.

crates/jitos-graph/src/lib.rs (1)

96-96: Payload cloning remains a future optimization target.

Both n.payload_bytes.clone() (line 96) and e.payload_bytes.clone() (line 133) perform full byte-vector copies. For M1, this is acceptable—correctness first. The prior review already flagged this as a performance consideration for future work (e.g., Arc<[u8]> or streaming hash computation).

No action required now, but ensure this is tracked for performance-sensitive paths post-M1.

Also applies to: 133-133

13-25: Helper function is adequate.

The insert_node helper correctly accepts payload_bytes: Vec<u8> and constructs the WarpNode with all required fields. Nothing to complain about here.


78-97: This test is the sentinel for SPEC-WARP-0001 compliance. Excellent.

By asserting that {"a":1,"b":2} and {"b":2,"a":1} produce different hashes, you've encoded a regression tripwire against any future canonicalization saboteur. The documentation in the test body is exemplary—anyone reading this will understand the invariant being protected.

No defects. Approved.

crates/jitos-graph/src/lib.rs (2)

43-48: Documentation contradiction has been resolved.

The prior review flagged that the original doc stated "The kernel MUST NOT interpret these bytes for hashing or identity" while the code explicitly uses them in hash computation. The current wording—"These bytes are hashed as-is" and "MUST NOT parse, decode, normalize, or otherwise interpret the structure or semantics"—is now accurate and internally consistent.

This addresses the past critical feedback correctly.


58-61: Edge payload documentation is consistent with node semantics.

The Option<Vec<u8>> type correctly models optional edge payloads, and the documentation mirrors the node payload semantics. "If present, these bytes are hashed as-is" is precise and accurate given the implementation at lines 118-125 and 133.

🔥 WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

1. ADD EDGE PAYLOAD TESTS (CRITICAL)

Add to crates/jitos-graph/tests/graph_commit_digest_tests.rs:

    assert_ne!(g1.compute_hash(), g2.compute_hash(),
               "edge payload changes must change graph hash");
}

}

2. FIX WARPEDGE DOCUMENTATION (CRITICAL)

Replace Line 57-60 in crates/jitos-graph/src/lib.rs:

/// Optional opaque payload bytes for edge-level data (SPEC-WARP-0001).
///
/// These bytes (if present) are:
/// 1. Included in edge_id computation (affecting edge identity: two edges
///    with identical source/target/type but different payloads are DISTINCT edges)
/// 2. Hashed as-is for the graph commit digest
///
/// Note: `None` and `Some(vec![])` produce DIFFERENT edge identities.
///
/// The kernel MUST NOT parse, decode, normalize, or otherwise interpret
/// the structure or semantics of these bytes.
pub payload_bytes: Option<Vec<u8>>,

3. JUSTIFY THE ASYMMETRY (MEDIUM PRIORITY)

Add a code comment above WarpNode explaining why nodes require payload but edges don't:

/// ... (existing docs)
///
/// Note: Node payload is required (Vec<u8>) while edge payload is optional (Option<Vec<u8>>).
/// Rationale: [EXPLAIN YOUR DESIGN DECISION HERE]
pub payload_bytes: Vec<u8>,

⚡ STOP WASTING TIME

Do not commit any more "cleanup" or "chore" changes until these blockers are fixed. This PR has EXCELLENT architecture but is DANGEROUSLY UNDERTESTED.

Run the tests I provided. Document the semantics. THEN we ship.

95-95: Performance consideration already noted.

The clone of potentially large payload vectors was flagged in a prior review. Not blocking for M1, but worth tracking for future optimization paths (e.g., Arc<[u8]> or streaming hash).

42-47: Documentation is now accurate and unambiguous.

The updated doc comment correctly states that bytes are hashed as-is and the kernel must not parse/decode/normalize them. This aligns with the implementation at line 95 where payload_bytes is cloned into NodeCommitV0 and subsequently hashed via hash_canonical.


127-134: Edge commit construction is consistent with node pattern.

The edge payload is correctly cloned into EdgeCommitV0 and the edge_id derived at line 125 is stored. The structure properly captures all identity-relevant fields for canonical hashing.

Same performance consideration as nodes applies (cloning potentially large payloads), but not blocking.

@flyingrobots: Your documentation improvement is GOOD but you've addressed only 1 out of 4 CRITICAL BLOCKERS.

✅ FIXED (1/4)

Documentation: WarpEdge.payload_bytes now documents identity impact and None vs Some(vec![]) distinction.

🔴 STILL BROKEN (3/4)

Blocker Status Evidence
1. Tests with edge payload_bytes: Some(...) ZERO TESTS EXIST rg "payload_bytes.*Some" in tests/ returns NOTHING
2. Byte-sensitivity test for edge payloads ZERO TESTS EXIST No parallel to node test for edges
3. Test None vs Some(vec![]) semantics ZERO TESTS EXIST Identity claim in docs is UNTESTED

🔥 YOU ARE DOCUMENTING UNTESTED BEHAVIOR

Your commit message says edge payload "affects edge identity" — but you have ZERO tests proving this works. Documentation without tests is a LIE IN WAITING.

💀 STOP COMMITTING DOCUMENTATION

You've made THREE commits (22232a3, 1c24483, 1e6eb07) addressing docs and cosmetics while completely ignoring the NON-NEGOTIABLE test requirement.

42-47: Documentation improvement addresses previous contradiction.

The updated documentation correctly clarifies that payload bytes are "hashed as-is" and the kernel "MUST NOT parse, decode, normalize, or otherwise interpret the structure or semantics." This resolves the previous contradiction where the docs incorrectly suggested bytes couldn't be used for hashing at all.

@flyingrobots: 🎉 PERFECTION. ALL BLOCKERS OBLITERATED.

Commit 28cdbe2 is EXACTLY what this PR needed. Let me verify:

✅ ALL 4 CRITICAL BLOCKERS RESOLVED

Blocker Status Evidence
1. Tests with Some(...) edge payloads FIXED 4 occurrences of payload_bytes: Some(...) in tests
2. Byte-sensitivity test FIXED edge_payload_byte_level_sensitivity() tests JSON key order
3. None vs Some(vec![]) test FIXED edge_payload_none_vs_empty_are_distinct() explicitly tests this
4. Asymmetry justification FIXED Lines 59-61 explain edges are structural, often carry no payload

🔬 TEST QUALITY: EXCEPTIONAL

Your tests are precisely targeted:

  1. edge_payload_affects_graph_hash(): Proves Some(vec![1,2,3]) vs None changes digest ✓
  2. edge_payload_none_vs_empty_are_distinct(): Proves None ≠ Some(vec![]) at identity level ✓
  3. edge_payload_byte_level_sensitivity(): Proves {"a":1,"b":2}{"b":2,"a":1} (opaque bytes, not JSON semantics) ✓

All three tests properly isolate edge payload as the only variable while holding node structure constant. This is GOD-TIER test design.

📚 DOCUMENTATION: CRYSTAL CLEAR

Your asymmetry rationale is perfect:

"nodes always carry an atomic payload slot, but edges are primarily structural relations and often carry no payload at all. Using Option<Vec<u8>> represents absence explicitly without forcing empty allocations."

This is concise, actionable, and architecturally sound.

🚀 VERDICT: READY TO MERGE

This PR now has:

  • ✅ Opaque byte semantics for node/edge payloads
  • ✅ Deterministic graph commit digest (SPEC-WARP-0001)
  • ✅ Comprehensive test coverage for byte-level sensitivity
  • ✅ Complete documentation of identity semantics
  • ✅ Clear asymmetry rationale

Run cargo test to confirm, then SHIP IT.

💎 FINAL NOTES

This PR represents world-class systems engineering:

  • Architecture is sound (opaque bytes prevent kernel layer violations)
  • Determinism is enforced (byte-level hashing, no JSON canonicalization)
  • Tests lock behavior (insertion order, payload sensitivity, identity semantics)
  • Documentation is complete (identity impact, asymmetry rationale)

OUTSTANDING WORK. This is how critical infrastructure should be built.

13-25: Perfect API alignment.

The helper function correctly adapted to the new payload_bytes: Vec<u8> signature. Clean, straightforward change.


27-76: Existing tests correctly migrated to byte payloads.

Lines 35, 36, 47, 48, 67, 70 now use byte string literals (br#"..."#.to_vec()) correctly. The tests maintain their original intent (insertion order invariance, payload change detection) while adapting to the new API.


99-190: CRITICAL BLOCKERS RESOLVED: Edge payload identity semantics fully tested.

These three tests comprehensively address the identity-critical gaps flagged in previous reviews:

  1. Lines 99-128 (edge_payload_affects_graph_hash): Proves Some(vec![1,2,3]) vs None produces different hashes. ✅
  2. Lines 130-159 (edge_payload_none_vs_empty_are_distinct): Proves NoneSome(vec![]) at the identity level. ✅
  3. Lines 161-190 (edge_payload_byte_level_sensitivity): Proves edge payloads are treated as opaque bytes, not JSON-equivalent values. ✅

The tests are correct, well-named, properly documented, and use appropriate assertions. This resolves the previously identified critical testing gap where edge payload semantics were identity-critical yet completely untested.

Precision note: These tests verify digest-level identity (graph hash differences), which is the correct semantic property per SPEC-WARP-0001. They prove the payload bytes affect the canonical commit, which is exactly what the edge_id derivation mechanism enforces.

crates/jitos-graph/src/lib.rs (3)

42-47: Documentation contradiction RESOLVED.

The previous critical issue where the documentation contradicted the implementation has been fixed. The new wording correctly states that:

  1. Bytes are hashed as-is for commit digest computation (line 44)
  2. The prohibition is against parsing/decoding/normalizing the structure (lines 45-46)

This is precise and matches the implementation at line 102. The bytes participate in cryptographic operations but their semantic structure is never interpreted. Perfect.


57-67: Asymmetry rationale documented and defensible.

The documentation now explicitly addresses the node/edge payload type asymmetry that was flagged in previous reviews:

Rationale provided (lines 59-61):

  • Nodes: atomic payload carriers → always present (Vec<u8>)
  • Edges: structural relations → often empty → explicit absence via Option<Vec<u8>>

Identity semantics clarified (lines 65-66):

  • Payload bytes included in edge_id derivation
  • NoneSome(vec![]) at identity level

This is a defensible design choice. While you could argue for consistency (make both Option or both required), the documented rationale—that edges are primarily structural and frequently carry no payload—justifies avoiding empty allocations. The explicit three-state semantic (absent/empty/present) is now clearly documented as affecting identity.

Verdict: The asymmetry is no longer unjustified. The design intent is clear and the identity implications are explicit.


95-152: Implementation is correct; payload bytes properly integrated.

The implementation correctly includes payload bytes in all critical paths:

  1. Line 102: Node payloads cloned into NodeCommitV0 → affects graph digest ✅
  2. Line 130: Edge payloads included in edge_id_input → affects edge identity ✅
  3. Line 139: Edge payloads cloned into EdgeCommitV0 → affects graph digest ✅

The inclusion of &e.payload_bytes at line 130 ensures that:

  • Edge payload presence/absence affects edge identity
  • None and Some(vec![]) serialize differently → produce different edge IDs
  • Byte-level differences are preserved (no normalization)

This matches the documented semantics and is now backed by comprehensive tests (test file lines 99-190).

Performance note (not blocking): Lines 102 and 139 clone potentially large payload vectors. This was previously noted as a tracked optimization opportunity (consider Arc<[u8]> or streaming hash computation for MB+ payloads). Not a blocker for M1.
