Neuron	e0b2c0ea54	bench: arm the Phase 4 gate -- proven to pass clean AND fire on a quadratic ... Adds tests/native/test_lexer_scaling.el, the regression gate for el #132. Both directions are proven on LIVE workloads, not synthetic series: healthy per-character scan 1821 3251 6007 10422 us -> O(n) PASS rescan-from-zero (the #132 shape) 922 3667 13524 44792 -> O(n^2) FAIL A gate only proven to pass is decoration. The quadratic specimen exists so the gate is proven to FIRE. Also fixes elb_spread_ok to judge the ASYMPTOTIC TAIL (last three ratios) rather than the whole sweep. Measured on a genuinely linear scan the ratios ran 3.37 2.92 1.76 1.65 -- the head looks quadratic because it is cold cache, the tail is the truth. Whole-sweep spread rejected correct data. A complexity bound is an asymptotic claim and must be judged asymptotically. That fix came from the classifier refusing to rubber-stamp my own bad measurement: it reported INDETERMINATE on an unwarmed sweep rather than passing it. Warmup is now taken and discarded at every sweep point. Reverts the == workarounds in test_elbench.el now that el #137 has landed; the natural form generates no str_eq and all 13 fitter tests stay green. The workaround remains -- the Plus arm is still open.	2026-08-15 21:58:46 -05:00
Neuron	6a6b589ba0	bench: real black_box barrier + three-signal growth-curve gate ... Adds el_black_box (inline asm, +r constraint, memory clobber) and runtime/elbench.el: a growth-curve classifier that gates time AND allocation-count AND allocation-bytes, failing if any exceeds its declared curve. Refusal is a first-class verdict. The classifier REFUSES rather than classifying when the largest measurement is below the floor, or when a series is hard-flat across an 8x input range -- the shape produced when the optimiser deletes the work. Reporting O(1) there would be a confident answer with nothing behind it. Disagreeing ratios report INDETERMINATE rather than a guess. Deviation from DESIGN.md 6.2, stated in the source: uses consecutive ratios on a mandated geometric sweep rather than least-squares over candidate curves. Ratios are directly interpretable on a doubling sweep and need no floating point; the cost is weaker O(n) vs O(n log n) separation, reported as an ambiguous band rather than guessed. Documents the counter scope limit: engram_*.c and libcurl malloc are NOT tracked, so a flat curve over engram/HTTP-dominated work is not evidence of anything. 13 tests prove the classifier against real measured series from fitprobe.el -- including that an accumulator's allocation COUNT is linear while its bytes are quadratic, and that el #132's pure-CPU shape reads FLAT on both allocation signals and is caught only by time.	2026-08-15 21:45:13 -05:00
Neuron	3e7ab07e82	test framework phase 1: forward decls, void-return fix, suite migration ... Completes the Phase 1 runner and migrates the 11 test files onto it. - forward-declare the registry accessors in the test preamble; they are defined at the end of the unit but the El runner is compiled in between - eltest.el: explicit trailing return in the void emit_* helpers, which otherwise lower to 'return println(...)' and fail to compile - test files import runtime/eltest.el explicitly, using the language's own textual import mechanism rather than compiler-side auto-injection - DESIGN.md 6.5: gate on allocation COUNT AND BYTES, not count alone Verified: self-hosting fixpoint byte-identical (gen2 == gen3). 6 of 11 suites run and report per-test timing. The other 5 fail to COMPILE, and fail identically under the committed compiler -- pre-existing breakage this framework makes visible for the first time.	2026-08-15 21:28:30 -05:00
