Implements #461 (RY106, ifelse-mode-collapse), following the issue's three-part direction.

Approach

  1. Maybe-empty length split (crates/ry-core/src/types.rs). Length::Unknown now means "unknown, possibly zero" — the open-world default parameters already carry, mirroring how scalar-guards.md treats scalar defaults — and a new Length::Nonempty variant captures "exact count unknown, provably at least one". A reusable Length::may_be_empty() predicate is the shared foundation New rule: vacuous all() in validation guards admits zero-length non-numeric input #462 (vacuous all()) builds on. The lower bound is preserved by recycling (Length::binary), c(), rep(), longest_arg_length (including the (Nonempty, Unknown) arm), and the complex %% nonempty proof; every exhaustive Length match was audited for the new variant.

  2. Typeshed return_mode spec (crates/ry-typeshed). New ReturnModeSpec::TestTemplate { test, values } — the mode-dimension analog of seq_len's return_length: param_value — validated like the other semantic fields (unknown params, empty/test-overlapping values, unknown kind all rejected). The spec is declared in a sync-safe local overlay, crates/ry-typeshed/overlay/base.json, merged over the vendored stub at load_base() time; the vendored base/base.json stays upstream-pristine because scripts/sync_typeshed.sh (and the weekly Typeshed bump workflow) wholesale-replaces vendor/ and would strip a vendored-only annotation. A drift test pins every non-annotation field of the overlay entry to the vendored stub, and sync-harness tests prove the overlay survives a sync run.

  3. RY106 warning (crates/ry-checker/src/infer/ifelse.rs, wired as a stage before the typeshed tail). Fires when yes/no agree on a non-logical atomic mode and either the collapse is definite (the test is a literal empty construction — logical(0), character(), NULL, ... — or a literal all-NA test) or the test may be empty and a branch is a typed NA constant of the shared mode (NA_character_, NA_real_, ...). Message suggests vctrs::if_else(). A definite collapse infers a logical result; a maybe-empty test infers an honest union[logical, branch].

Evidence from the issue, verified against R 4.6.1

  • ifelse(logical(0), NA_character_, "a") is logical(0); ifelse(NA, "a", "b") is logical NA — the result is seeded from the test (Fix three edge cases in format_hms(), hms(), and seq.hms() tidyverse/hms#231, as.character(hms()) returning logical(0)).
  • Runtime finding beyond the issue text: a mixed test (ifelse(c(TRUE, NA), "a", "b")) coerces back to character — only zero-length and entirely NA tests collapse. The rule's NA half therefore fires only for definitely-NA tests; a merely maybe-NA test (x > 0 for NA-capable x) stays silent because the type lattice carries no NA facts and the repo's own ok_ifelse_mode.R pins that shape as quiet.

Deviation from the suggested direction

The issue's fallback tightening was invoked: firing on every maybe-empty test with agreeing branches broke ok_dplyr_unknown_schema_data_mask.R (ifelse(!is.na(x), 1, 0) inside mutate pipelines). Instead of the suggested mode-demanding-sink analysis (interprocedural), the maybe-empty half requires a typed-NA branch — the author's written-down mode intent, purely local reasoning. Definite collapses fire only for literal empty or all-NA test shapes.

Review follow-ups (changes-requested)

  • P1 — inferred Length::Zero is not a collapse proof. Both definite premises now rest on the expression's shape (the discipline the NA half already had): a literal empty construction or a literal NA test, with the constructor resolved leniently to base. An inferred len = 0 no longer rewrites the result mode either, unless the binding is open-world. Reproduced at the pinned corpus commits with the pre-fix and post-fix binaries:
    • googledrive@8de11bf R/drive_mime_type.R:56 — RY106 fired on the join-artifact character<len=0> refinement; now silent (0 diagnostics on R/).
    • testthat@9b6f12b R/parallel-taskq.R — RY106 at 194/203 plus the two cascading RY033s at 195/200 fired; now only the pre-existing RY001 at 205 remains.
      All four err_ifelse_mode_collapse.R entries still fire.
  • P1 — sync-safe annotation. The vendored return_mode is replaced by the local overlay described above; the weekly bump cannot strip it. Upstreaming the ifelse return_mode: test_template spec (plus its schema documentation) to r-typeshed is the eventual home — the seq_len precedent went that way (upstream r-typeshed 99581c8, vendored into ry by 5aab09a) — and is left for the maintainer; no upstream PR is filed from here.
  • P2 — corpus ledgers. Both manifests regenerated hermetically; the RY106 delta is exactly five true positives: tidyverse hms R/hms.R:218:3 and blob R/format.R:43:10; posit gt R/format_data.R:4057:3, R/utils_render_latex.R:69:3, R/z_utils_render_footnotes.R:418:18. The googledrive and testthat findings above are gone. RY107 (feat(checker): flag scalar comparisons on any()/all() results #476) merged to main during this review; the branch re-merges main and the corpora are regenerated with both rulesets — the entries coexist additively (RY106's five on top of RY107's glue finding, no interaction). Ledger entries, message ledger, summaries, README index rows, recomputed source_sha256 digests, and ry_commit are updated; both run.sh --check gates and check-ledger.py pass. (The tidyverse digest had also been stale on main since the 0.5.1 vendor reconciliation; it reproduces again.)
  • P3s — CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry; quiet fixtures for vctrs::if_else / dplyr::if_else and a defaulted-test ifelse idiom; the longest_arg_length(Nonempty, Unknown) widening arm; docs/facts.md documents the nonempty facts length kind with a unit test pinning the exported shape.

Fixtures and tests

  • Oracle claim: testdata/oracle/ifelse_mode_collapse_claim.R (# oracle: must-pass, # oracle-claim: RY106), R-verified assertions incl. the mixed-test boundary.
  • Corpus: testdata/err_ifelse_mode_collapse.R (hms shape + both minimal forms, # expect: RY106 x4) and testdata/ok_ifelse_mode_collapse.R (quiet idioms incl. the typed alternatives); fuzz seeds copied per convention.
  • Unit tests in the module (fire/silence/inference pins), a probe in tests/probes.rs, an R7 case and verdict in tests/rule_evidence.rs, rows in docs/rules.md and docs/corpus/rule-evidence-0.9.md, overlay load/drift tests in ry-typeshed, and an overlay-survival test in the sync harness.

Gates: cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace (60 targets), cargo test -p ry-checker --test oracle -- --include-ignored (17), cargo test -p ry-checker --test vendor_snapshot, python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p 'test_*.py' (14), ecosystem/run.sh --check (both manifests), and ecosystem/check-ledger.py on both ledgers — all pass.

The pull request adds RY106 for ifelse() mode collapse, introduces Length::Nonempty, adds a typeshed test-template return mode, and updates checker tests, fuzz seeds, documentation, corpus ledgers, and ecosystem reports.

Changes

ifelse mode-collapse analysis

Layer / File(s) Summary
Length state and propagation
crates/ry-core/..., crates/ry-checker/src/infer/..., crates/ry-cli/...
Length::Nonempty distinguishes proven nonempty values from possibly empty values. Inference, recycling, scalar checks, exported facts, and formatting preserve this distinction.
Typeshed return-mode contract
crates/ry-typeshed/..., scripts/test_sync_typeshed.py
Typeshed supports return_mode: test_template. A local overlay annotates base::ifelse, validates its parameter references, and remains separate from vendored data.
ifelse inference and diagnostics
crates/ry-checker/src/infer/call.rs, crates/ry-checker/src/infer/ifelse.rs, crates/ry-checker/src/infer/mod.rs, crates/ry-checker/src/infer/recall.rs
The checker models empty, all-NA, open-world, and typed-NA tests. It infers logical collapse or a logical union and emits RY106 when the branch modes agree on a non-logical atomic mode.
Rule registration and validation
crates/ry-checker/src/rules.rs, crates/ry-checker/testdata/*, crates/ry-checker/tests/*, fuzz/corpus/*, CHANGELOG.md, docs/rules.md
RY106 is registered as a warning. Positive, negative, oracle, probe, evidence, and fuzz coverage was added.
Corpus and report records
docs/corpus/*, ecosystem/reports/*
Corpus ledgers and reports record two tidyverse findings and three posit findings for RY106.

Reviewed changes

  • Length::Nonempty lattice split (ry-core/src/types.rs) — Unknown re-meaned as "unknown, possibly zero" (the open-world default), plus a new Nonempty variant ("exact count unknown, provably ≥ 1") with a may_be_empty() predicate; the lower bound is preserved through recycling (Length::binary), c(), rep(), longest_arg_length, and the complex %% nonempty proof; display renders 1+ and the facts export gains a nonempty kind.
  • Typeshed return_mode spec (ry-typeshed) — new ReturnModeSpec::TestTemplate { test, values } on FunctionSig, declared on the vendored base::ifelse stub, with validation (unknown params, empty values, test-in-values, unknown kind) and unit tests.
  • RY106 ifelse-mode-collapse (new crates/ry-checker/src/infer/ifelse.rs, wired after every dispatch shape and before the plain typeshed stage) — a definite collapse (zero-length or definitely-NA test) infers a logical result; a maybe-empty test infers union[logical, branch]; the warning fires when the branches share a non-logical atomic mode and either the collapse is definite or the test may be empty with a typed-NA branch.
  • Rule paperwork — oracle claim fixture, corpus err/ok fixtures + snapshot (exactly the four new RY106 entries), probe, R7 case + keep verdict, docs/rules.md row, fuzz seeds.

Verified locally: the full ry-checker (846) and ry-core (99) lib suites, the corpus/probes/rule-evidence/docs-parity targets, cargo fmt --all -- --check, and clippy all pass; falsifiability confirmed by reverting the vendored return_mode stub (8 module tests + 2 corpus tests fail without it); the R-side premises (all-NA length-2 collapse, mixed-test coercion) ride on CI's oracle job as usual, as does the 472-package corpus claim.

ℹ️ CHANGELOG entry missing for RY106

## [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md has no entry for this PR. A new default-on warning rule is user-facing by the repo's new-rule checklist (rules.rs + docs row + probes + verdicts + oracle claim + CHANGELOG bullet), and the facts export's new nonempty length kind is separately consumer-visible.

Technical details
# CHANGELOG entry for RY106

## Affected sites
- CHANGELOG.md `## [Unreleased]` — no `### Added` bullet for RY106 / the `Length::Nonempty` split.

## Required outcome
- An `### Added` bullet under `## [Unreleased]` in the repo's two coexisting styles — here the capability form `- **Title (#461)**: description`, citing the closing issue per convention. Cover the new default-on warning (and optionally the facts `nonempty` kind, which is consumer-visible per the docs/facts.md contract).

ℹ️ Length::Nonempty has no producer yet

Every handling site in this PR only preserves an existing Nonempty (recycling, c(), rep(), longest_arg, the %% proof); nothing introduces one — parameters are Unknown, narrowing pins One/Known, and stub specs cannot spell Nonempty. The variant is therefore inert until #462 adds introduction sites, so its arms (including the facts nonempty kind and the is_coercible_scalar_condition_mode acceptance) are exercised only by unit tests today. That matches issue #461's piece-1 direction, so this is a confirmation request rather than a change request — worth being aware that RY106's silence guarantees currently rest entirely on Unknown/Zero plus the identifier widening.

Review: RY106 ifelse-mode-collapse (PR #472, issue #461)

Verdict: changes-requested. The rule's R semantics, the Length lattice work, the typeshed spec validation, and the local fixtures are all correct and well-tested, and the Deviation B tightening is defensible. But two P1s must be addressed before merge: the Length::Zero "definite collapse" premise is unsound against pre-existing length joins and is currently producing false positives (including two collateral high-severity RY033 false positives that do not exist on main) that make both required corpus CI jobs fail with unowned findings; and the return_mode annotation lives only in the vendored typeshed JSON, which the weekly sync bot will strip.

Findings

P1 — definite_collapse consumes inferred Length::Zero as a proof, but len=0 bindings are pre-existing join artifacts (crates/ry-checker/src/infer/ifelse.rs:123, decision at :136). On real code, parameter refinement and index/subset inference already produce len=0 types that are not actually empty at runtime. Two reproduced instances, both at pinned corpus commits:

  • googledrive@8de11bf R/drive_mime_type.R:56 — type (param, default NULL) refines to character<len=0> via call-site joins (verified: origin/main infers the identical binding), so match(type, ...) gives integer<len=0>, is.na(human_m) is length-zero, and RY106 fires "an empty test ... branches are both integer" on a path where type is non-empty at every runtime call that reaches line 56. False positive; reproduces with the PR binary, silent on main.
  • testthat@9b6f12b R/parallel-taskq.R:194,203 — private$tasks$idle[ready] infers logical<len=0>, so both ifelse(..., "waiting", "done") calls fire RY106 and the result type is rewritten to logical<len=0>, making private$tasks$state == "done" compare logical vs character — two new high-severity RY033 false positives (:195:21, :200:24) that do not exist on main. The Zero-premise does not just add noise; it poisons downstream inference.

Suggested fix, same discipline the PR already applies to the NA half: treat only literal empty tests (logical(0)/character(0)/NULL expressions) as definite collapses, not any inferred Length::Zero. That keeps all four err-fixture entries firing (two are literal logical(0), one literal NA, one maybe-empty + typed-NA) and silences both FP families. Alternatively, fix the len-0 joins — but that is pre-existing scope well beyond this PR.

P1 — the vendored return_mode annotation is not sync-safe (crates/ry-typeshed/vendor/base/base.json:4381). Determination: fail (mechanism below in the dedicated section). The spec must land upstream in r-typeshed (where seq_len's param_value lives) or live in a sync-safe local overlay, or the weekly Typeshed bump workflow will silently delete it and kill RY106.

P2 — both corpus ledgers need the triaged delta; both jobs are red on this PR.

  • Ecosystem (docs/corpus/tidyverse-0.7.1.json), 3 unowned: hms R/hms.R:218 (the motivating bug — true positive), blob R/format.R:43 (pillar_shaft.blob, exact hms shape — true positive), googledrive R/drive_mime_type.R:56 (false positive per P1 above).
  • Posit (docs/corpus/posit-0.9.0.json), 7 unowned: gt x3 (format_data.R:4057, utils_render_latex.R:69, z_utils_render_footnotes.R:418 — all the typed-NA-over-maybe-empty-test shape, true positives), testthat RY106 x2 and RY033 x2 (all false positives per P1). The PR description's corpus claim ("glue/purrr snapshots show zero new findings") checked the vendored-package snapshots but not the ecosystem/posit corpora CI enforces.

P3 — CHANGELOG entry missing. #467 and #468 each added an [Unreleased] entry; #472 (a new default-on warning plus a consumer-visible nonempty facts kind) adds none. Either add the bullet or state the release-rollup convention.

P3 — Length::Nonempty has no producer in this PR. All five sites (Length::binary, c(), rep(), longest_arg_length, the complex %% proof at ry-core/src/types.rs:544) only preserve an existing Nonempty; nothing introduces one from Unknown/Known/literals. The variant is inert until #462 adds introduction sites, so RY106's quiet paths rest entirely on Unknown/Zero plus the identifier widening. This matches issue #461's piece-1 direction — flagging as confirmation, not a defect.

P3 — quiet-fixture near-miss gaps. The 8 idioms cover known-length locals, scalar, logical-branch, disagreeing, mixed-test, project-local, and open-world-plain shapes, but not: vctrs::if_else/dplyr::if_else staying quiet on a collapsing shape (verified silent by hand; worth pinning), and a quiet default-test idiom (the default-test case is only pinned on the fire side, in the unit test).

P3 (nit) — longest_arg_length widens (Nonempty, Unknown) to Unknown where Nonempty would be sound (max of a >=1 and anything is >=1). Moot while no producers exist; worth a comment or the extra arm when #462 lands.

Non-finding (adjudicated): the posit job's seven RY010 "disappeared" findings (lintr x1, testthat x6) are the known main-level ledger drift from #467, with the fix already green on fix/posit-ledger-recovered-tree. Not a PR defect; every other delta in that job is this PR's.

R re-probe results (R 4.6.1, Rscript --vanilla)

  • ifelse(logical(0), NA_character_, "a") -> logical(0). Matches the rule's Zero premise for literal forms.
  • ifelse(NA, "a", "b") -> logical NA; same for NA_integer_/NA_real_/NA_character_ tests and rep(NA, 2) tests. Matches test_definitely_na.
  • ifelse(c(TRUE, NA), "a", "b") -> "a" NA character: a mixed test does not collapse. Matches Deviation A (maybe-NA stays silent).
  • hms shape with empty x (NULL/logical(0)) -> logical(0); with all-NA x -> character (because is.na(NA) is TRUE, not NA) — the rule correctly does not treat is.na(...) as definitely-NA; with nonempty x -> character.
  • c(1,2) == NA -> all-NA -> collapse; !NA -> NA. The comparison-vs-NA and strip-negation handling is sound.

Every firing condition matches observed R behavior; the false positives above stem from the checker's own length facts, not from wrong R semantics.

Typeshed-sync determination: FAIL

python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p 'test_*.py' passes locally (13 tests), but those tests only cover the sync script's backup/restore mechanics. scripts/sync_typeshed.sh does cp -R "$checkout/stubs/." "$staged/" then mv "$staged" "$vendor" — a wholesale replacement of crates/ry-typeshed/vendor from the r-typeshed checkout. .github/workflows/typeshed-bump.yml runs this weekly (Mondays 05:17 UTC) against the latest r-typeshed tag and force-pushes bot/typeshed-bump. Upstream sims1253/r-typeshed's stubs/base/base.json ifelse has no return_mode (checked via API; no open r-typeshed PR adds it), so the next bump deletes the annotation; infer_test_template_call then always returns None, RY106 goes dead, and the four err-fixture expectations fail at the bump PR. The seq_len precedent did this correctly: the param_value spec lives upstream (r-typeshed 99581c8) and 5aab09a's message explicitly minimizes the vendor-vs-upstream diff ("the upstream stub change needs no new length spec"; new vocabulary is documented in r-typeshed's schema). #472 must follow the same mechanism: land return_mode: test_template (plus schema documentation) in r-typeshed and let the vendor snapshot carry it, or teach the sync to merge local specs.

  • Snapshot diff: exactly corpus__checker_fixture_diagnostics.snap, +36/-0 (4 RY106 entries + one empty ok-fixture block); no vendor snapshots changed.

Judgment on Deviation B

Defensible and correctly implemented. The issue's hms case has a typed-NA branch and still fires (verified); ok_dplyr_unknown_schema_data_mask.R is quiet; the union inference only claims the logical member for maybe-empty tests (a maybe-NA-only test keeps the plain branch mode, which is exactly right since a mixed test coerces back), so there is no NA-collapse overclaim. The recall loss (ifelse(is.na(x), "a", "b") without typed NA staying silent) is a reasonable price vs an interprocedural mode-demanding-sink analysis; the irony is that the definite half — meant to be the unconditional core — is where precision actually broke (P1). The typed-NA heuristic for the maybe-empty half survived the whole tidyverse corpus with only true-positive-shaped hits (hms, blob, gt x3).

RY106 (ifelse-mode-collapse) from the tidyverse/hms#231 audit (#461):
ifelse() seeds its result from the test vector and only overwrites the
positions the test selects, so the result mode is logical whenever the
test is zero-length or entirely NA, even when yes/no agree on another
mode. A mixed test coerces back to the branch mode, so the all-NA half
is claimed only for definitely-NA tests.

Three pieces, per the issue's direction:

- Split Length::Unknown into maybe-empty (Unknown, the open-world
  default for parameters, as scalar-guards.md treats scalar defaults)
  and a new provably-nonempty Length::Nonempty, with a reusable
  Length::may_be_empty predicate for the emptiness rules that follow
  (#462 shares it). Recycling, c(), rep(), and longest_arg computations
  preserve the lower bound.
- A typeshed return_mode spec (test_template, the mode-dimension analog
  of seq_len's return_length param_value): base::ifelse now declares
  it, and the checker applies a logical result for definite collapses
  and an honest union[logical, branch] for maybe-empty tests instead of
  the plain yes_or_no join.
- The RY106 warning: fires for definite collapses (zero-length or
  definitely-NA test) and for typed-NA selects where the test may be
  empty -- a typed NA branch is the author's written-down mode intent.
  Plain open-world tests like ifelse(x, 1, 0) stay silent; the mutate
  pipelines in ok_dplyr_unknown_schema_data_mask.R pin that boundary.
  Vendored glue/purrr snapshots are unchanged.
The definite half treated any inferred Length::Zero as proof the test is
empty, but len-0 types are pre-existing join artifacts on values that are
not empty at runtime (googledrive R/drive_mime_type.R:56 refines a
parameter to character<len=0> through call-site joins; testthat
R/parallel-taskq.R:194 infers logical<len=0> for an indexed subset), so
RY106 fired on paths that cannot collapse and the result-type rewrite
cascaded into RY033 comparison false positives downstream.

Both definite premises now rest on the expression's shape, the same
discipline the NA half already applied: only a literal empty construction
(NULL, logical(0), integer(length = 0), ...) is a definite collapse, with
the constructor resolved leniently to base to dodge project-local
shadowing. An inferred Zero no longer rewrites the result mode either,
unless the binding is open-world (parameter, default, or narrowed), where
the lattice answer stands. The maybe-empty half keeps its typed-NA
requirement, and the quiet fixtures gain the vctrs::if_else /
dplyr::if_else non-collapsing calls plus a defaulted-test idiom.
longest_arg_length widened (Nonempty, Unknown) to Unknown, but the
maximum of a provably >=1 operand and anything is still >=1; preserve
Nonempty instead, matching the other lower-bound preservation sites.
The return_mode test_template spec lived only in the vendored
base/base.json stub, but scripts/sync_typeshed.sh (and the weekly
Typeshed bump workflow) wholesale-replaces vendor/ from the r-typeshed
checkout, whose ifelse stub carries no such annotation -- the next bump
would silently delete the spec and kill RY106.

ry-side annotations now live in crates/ry-typeshed/overlay/base.json,
outside vendor/, merged over the vendored base at load_base() time; the
vendored stub returns to upstream-pristine. A drift test pins every
non-annotation field of each overlay entry to the vendored stub so an
upstream change cannot hide behind a stale copy, a load test proves the
overlay reaches load_base, and a sync-harness test proves the overlay
directory survives a sync_typeshed.sh run.

The eventual home for the spec is r-typeshed itself, following the
seq_len param_value precedent (upstream 99581c8, vendored in ry by
5aab09a); upstreaming stays with the maintainer.
Add the [Unreleased] Added entry for RY106 (ifelse-mode-collapse), the
style #467/#468 used, and document the new dump-facts length kind
{"kind":"nonempty"} in docs/facts.md with a unit test pinning the
exported shape.
Hermetic reruns of both manifests against the fixed checker add exactly
five true-positive identities and remove none:

- tidyverse: hms R/hms.R:218:3 and blob R/format.R:43:10 (RY106), the
  motivating typed-NA select of tidyverse/hms#231 and its pillar_shaft
  twin.
- posit: gt R/format_data.R:4057:3, R/utils_render_latex.R:69:3, and
  R/z_utils_render_footnotes.R:418:18 (RY106), all the same shape.

The review's false positives are gone from the runs: googledrive
R/drive_mime_type.R:56 no longer fires (its len=0 test is a call-site
join artifact, not a literal empty), and the testthat
R/parallel-taskq.R:194/203 RY106s -- plus the two RY033s their type
rewrite cascaded into at 195/203 -- are silent.

Both source_sha256 digests are recomputed over the regenerated root
reports, ry_commit points at the generating commit, and the README index
rows and audit-group prose are refreshed. The tidyverse digest had also
been stale on main since the 0.5.1 vendor reconciliation regenerated
ggplot2.root.txt without recomputing it; the recorded value reproduces
again. Both run.sh --check gates and check-ledger.py pass.

@pullfrog addressing your two review findings from 0e75f19 (both adjudicated as valid in the independent review):

CHANGELOG entry missing — addressed in 306f3b5: an [Unreleased] ### Added bullet for RY106 in the style of #467/#468's entries, covering the default-on warning and the motivating hms#231 shape. The same commit also covers the consumer-visible nonempty facts length kind from your inline note: docs/facts.md's length row now documents {"kind":"nonempty"}, and every_mode_and_length_has_a_stable_tag in facts_types.rs pins the exported shape.

Length::Nonempty has no producer yet — confirmed, and left that way by design: this PR only preserves the lower bound (recycling, c(), rep(), longest_arg_length, the complex %% proof); introduction sites arrive with #462, exactly the piece-1 direction of #461. Your (Nonempty, Unknown) widening nit is also fixed (4f59bf5): max(>=1, unknown) now keeps Nonempty. RY106's silence guarantees still rest on Unknown/Zero plus the identifier widening until then.

ℹ️ No critical issues — one minor doc-drift suggestion inline; the prior review's follow-ups are all cleanly addressed.

Reviewed changes

The delta since the prior pullfrog review (0e75f19): one rebase-merge of main plus five follow-up commits.

  • Restricted RY106's definite-collapse premise to literal shapes (5bbac57) — an inferred Length::Zero no longer proves a collapse: the new test_definitely_empty recognizes only a literal NULL or a base atomic constructor call with an absent/literal-zero length (logical(0), character(), integer(length = 0)), with the constructor resolved leniently to base so shadowed names don't qualify; the maybe-empty union[logical, branch] rewrite likewise keeps the plain branch join for pinned-Zero computed tests, eliminating the googledrive/testthat len=0 join-artifact firings while a typed-NA branch over such a test still warns.
  • Kept the nonempty lower bound joining with unknown length (4f59bf5) — longest_arg_length gains the (Nonempty, Unknown) widening arm so paste/paste0/sprintf preserve max >= 1.
  • Moved the ifelse return_mode spec to a sync-safe local overlay (f3fcdb9) — the vendored base/base.json is upstream-pristine again; overlay/base.json is merged in load_base() (one-shot, cached), a drift test pins every non-annotation field of the overlay entry to its vendored twin, and a sync-harness test proves the overlay survives the weekly wholesale vendor replacement.
  • Added the rule paperwork (306f3b5) — CHANGELOG ### Added bullet for RY106, docs/facts.md documents the nonempty facts length kind, and an export_type unit test pins the exported shape.
  • Owned the RY106 corpus findings in both ledgers (bb16403) — exactly five true positives (tidyverse hms R/hms.R:218:3, blob R/format.R:43:10; posit gt ×3, all typed-NA selects), with recomputed source_sha256 digests, ry_commit, notes, README index rows, message-ledger entries, and refreshed SUMMARY tables.

Verified locally: the ifelse module suite (15), ry-typeshed (36, incl. both overlay tests), the corpus snapshot target (5), ry-core lib (101), the sync-harness unittests (9, incl. overlay survival), check-ledger.py on both ledgers, both source_sha256 recipes (each reproduces), the SUMMARY RY106 rows against the committed reports, and the hms/blob identities spot-checked against the pinned upstream sources — all green. The full-corpus reconciliation rides on CI's ecosystem lanes as usual.

ℹ️ No blocking issues — both prior findings are cleanly addressed; one stale count row inline.

Reviewed changes

Reviewed the five commits pushed since the prior review (0e75f19), including the two follow-up commits named in the discussion.

  • Rested RY106's definite premises on literal shapes (5bbac57d) — a definite collapse now requires a literal empty construction (logical(0), NULL, a base constructor with a literal-zero length arg) or a literal NA test; an inferred len = 0 neither warns nor rewrites the result mode unless the binding is open-world, with the googledrive/testthat join artifacts pinned silent by inferred_zero_length_is_not_a_definite_empty_proof and the narrowed_bindings distrust now documented against the length() generic-dispatch hole (#372), as the thread asked.
  • Kept the nonempty lower bound joining unknown length (4f59bf5a) — longest_arg_length(Nonempty, Unknown) now returns Nonempty (the max of a ≥1 operand and anything stays ≥1), matching the other preservation sites; sound under paste's documented zero-length-recycles-as-"" semantics, and mirrored by length_recycling_preserves_nonempty_lower_bound on the binary side.
  • Moved the ifelse return_mode spec to a sync-safe overlay (f3fcdb95) — overlay/base.json merges over the vendored stub at load_base() time, the vendored base/base.json is upstream-pristine again, a drift test pins every non-annotation field of the overlay to the vendored entry, and a sync-harness test proves the overlay survives a wholesale vendor replacement.
  • Added the CHANGELOG entry and the nonempty facts paperwork (306f3b54) — an ### Added RY106 bullet under ## [Unreleased] in the neighboring entries' style, covering the default-on warning and the hms#231 shape; docs/facts.md's length row documents {"kind":"nonempty"} and every_mode_and_length_has_a_stable_tag pins the exported shape.
  • Owned the RY106 corpus findings in both ledgers (bb164033) — exactly five true positives (hms R/hms.R:218:3, blob R/format.R:43:10, gt ×3) with audit notes, refreshed digests, and ry_commit = bce9a5df.

Verified locally: cargo test -p ry-typeshed (36), cargo test -p ry-core --lib (101), the ifelse module tests (15), --test corpus --test rule_evidence --test probes (5/4/9), the every_mode_and_length_has_a_stable_tag bin test, python3 -m unittest scripts.test_sync_typeshed (9, incl. overlay survival), and ecosystem/check-ledger.py on both ledgers with both source_sha256 recipes hand-recomputed to the committed values (the tidyverse digest fix reproduces). The Length::Nonempty-no-producer question stands answered as by-design — introduction sites arrive with #462, exactly the piece-1 direction of #461 — so RY106's silence guarantees resting on Unknown/Zero plus identifier widening until then is the agreed state.

Both open threads from the prior review are addressed and resolved.

PR #476 (RY107, any-all-scalar-comparison) landed on main while this
branch was in review. Re-merge main and regenerate both corpora with the
combined ruleset: the only identity movement is additive -- this branch's
five RY106 true positives (hms, blob, gt x3) on top of #476's glue RY107
finding, with no interaction between the two rules. Both source_sha256
digests are recomputed over the merged root reports and ry_commit points
at the merge; both run.sh --check gates and check-ledger.py pass.

ℹ️ No new issues in this delta — the merge and ledger reconciliation verify cleanly end to end; the one open thread from the prior review still stands.

Reviewed changes

The delta since the prior pullfrog review (bb16403): one merge of main plus one reconciliation commit; the branch's own checker machinery (infer/ifelse.rs, infer/call.rs, ry-core/src/types.rs, the overlay) is byte-identical to the reviewed state.

  • Re-merged main (772fb41b) — brings RY107 (#476) and the recovered-tree reconciliation onto the branch with no branch content lost to the merge resolution: rules.rs, probes.rs, rule_evidence.rs, docs/rules.md, and CHANGELOG.md all carry both rules' entries side by side, and the infer_test_template_call stage wiring (infer/call.rs:388) is untouched.
  • Recomputed both ledgers' provenance over the merged corpus (814ec924) — source_sha256 for posit (f747ebc8…) and tidyverse (ce2bef2e…) both reproduce from the committed root reports via the README recipes, and ry_commit is the full-length merge commit whose combined ruleset produced them.
  • Restored the RY106 rows the merge dropped from the four SUMMARY tables — counts match the committed reports exactly (tidyverse root 2: hms, blob; posit root 3: gt ×3) beside main's new RY107 rows; the five RY106 true positives and RY107's glue finding are purely additive in both ledgers (posit 41 TP / 354 FP, tidyverse 13 / 41 + 23 unowned), consistent with the README table, the audit-group notes, and the message ledger's three gt RY106 entries.

Verified locally: ecosystem/check-ledger.py green on both ledgers (395 / 77 findings, summary counts match), both digest recipes hand-recomputed to the committed values, RY106/RY107 report identities grepped out of the root reports and checked against the SUMMARY rows, and classification labels counted straight from the JSON. The ecosystem and posit CI lanes were still in flight at review time; the Oracle (R) lane is green.

The open thread on the RY106 verdict row (docs/corpus/rule-evidence-0.9.md:106 still reads 0/0 / "0 corpus findings" while these ledgers own five RY106 true positives — now sitting directly above an RY107 row that does report its corpus TP) is unchanged by this delta and still stands.

Re-review: RY106 ifelse-mode-collapse (PR #472, issue #461) — closure verification

Verdict: approve-with-followups. Every finding from the changes-requested review is genuinely closed; I verified each closure claim independently (git-cloned corpus pins, upstream r-typeshed diff, R 4.6.1 semantics, full local gate suite). What remains is (a) the mechanical re-merge after #471 — now MERGED, so this branch currently conflicts with main and needs a union ledger resolution before it can merge (numbers below), and (b) one stale doc row. Neither is a defect in this PR's substance.

Per-finding closure verification

P1 — literal-empty discipline: CLOSED. test_definitely_empty (crates/ry-checker/src/infer/ifelse.rs:251) now accepts only a literal NULL or a base-constructor call (logical/integer/double/numeric/complex/character/raw) whose only (or absent) length argument is a literal zero, guarded by resolves_to_base_lenient against shadowing; test_definitely_na remains literal-NA/comparison-with-NA only. The result-mode rewrite is also disciplined: a definite (literal-shape) collapse rewrites to logical; a maybe-empty test yields union[logical, branch] — except when the test carries an inferred pinned Length::Zero on a non-open-world expression, which keeps the plain branch join (the exact testthat RY033 poison path, unit-pinned by inferred_zero_length_is_not_a_definite_empty_proof).

Independent checks at the pinned commits, using the branch binary built from 814ec92:

  • googledrive@8de11bf R/ — 53 files, 0 errors, 0 warnings (the drive_mime_type.R:56 RY106 is gone; also 0/0 on an origin/main build).
  • testthat@9b6f12b R/parallel-taskq.R — only RY001 at 205:13, which an origin/main binary emits identically (pre-existing); RY106 at 194/203 and the cascading RY033s at 195/200 are gone. Full R/ directory: exactly 1 warning.
  • err_ifelse_mode_collapse.R — exactly 4 RY106s fire (12:3, 15:6, 17:6, 19:6).

P1 — sync-safe overlay: CLOSED. Determination flipped to pass:

  • vendor/base/base.json is byte-identical to upstream sims1253/r-typeshed at the vendored pin (SOURCE f2fe5de); vendor/ is untouched vs main; no "return_mode" anywhere under vendor/ (test-pinned).
  • The spec lives in crates/ry-typeshed/overlay/base.json, compile-time-embedded (include_str!), merged in load_base() where the overlay entry replaces its vendored twin wholesale (overlay wins; a malformed overlay is a build-time panic).
  • Masking analysis (the question I left open last time): upstream changes to non-annotation fields of ifelse are caught by local_overlay_stays_pinned_to_the_vendored_entry, which pins every field except return_mode to the vendored stub. Upstream ifelse (or any base function) gaining its own return_mode is caught by local_overlay_annotates_base_without_touching_vendor's raw-text assertion that the vendored file contains no "return_mode" — so the bump PR's CI fails and forces the overlay entry to be dropped rather than silently masking upstream. The wholesale-replacement design is safe precisely because both drift directions trip a test.
  • scripts/test_sync_typeshed.py::test_sync_preserves_the_local_annotation_overlay runs the real sync script and proves the overlay survives a full vendor replacement. Suite: 14 tests OK (up from 13).
  • The PR body names upstream r-typeshed as the eventual home (seq_len precedent: upstream 99581c8, vendored by 5aab09a) and leaves it to the maintainer. Verified: no PR or branch on r-typeshed adds ifelse/return_mode; nothing was filed upstream from here.

P2 — corpus ledgers: CLOSED. See the corpus section below; both ledger jobs are green on 814ec92 (ecosystem 4m55s, posit 11m42s), the delta is exactly the five adjudicated true positives, all five are real in R, and both digests recompute.

P3s — CLOSED. CHANGELOG [Unreleased] Added entry for RY106, unioned with RY107's. ok_ifelse_mode_collapse.R now pins vctrs::if_else and dplyr::if_else on collapsing shapes plus the defaulted-test idiom (verified silent by CLI). longest_arg_length gained the sound (Nonempty, Unknown) -> Nonempty arm with the right justification. docs/facts.md:299 documents {"kind":"nonempty"} and every_mode_and_length_has_a_stable_tag in facts_types.rs pins the exported shape. pullfrog's two findings were addressed (306f3b5, 5bbac57) with one PR-level reply plus two inline replies from the maintainer, as claimed.

R semantics re-probe (R 4.6.1, Rscript --vanilla) — unchanged conclusions, all confirmed: ifelse(logical(0), NA_character_, "a") -> logical(0); ifelse(NA, "a", "b") and NA_integer_ tests -> logical NA; rep(NA, 2) and c(1,2) == NA tests -> all-NA logical; !NA -> NA; mixed c(TRUE, NA) -> character (coerces back); hms shape collapses only for empty x (all-NA x gives character because is.na(NA) is TRUE — correctly not a definite-NA proof); ifelse(!is.na(c(1,2)), 1, 0) -> numeric, and ok_dplyr_unknown_schema_data_mask.R stays at 0 warnings, so Deviation B holds.

Corpus verification

  • Identities: tidyverse delta vs merge-base is exactly hms R/hms.R:218:3 and blob R/format.R:43:10; posit delta is exactly gt R/format_data.R:4057:3, R/utils_render_latex.R:69:3, R/z_utils_render_footnotes.R:418:18 — all RY106, all true_positive, group ifelse-mode. The googledrive and all four testthat findings are gone (posit's only testthat entries are the pre-existing RY000 test-fixture and RY001 at 205:13). RY107's glue entry coexists additively in both ledgers; ry_commit is 772fb41, the post-merge commit where both rules were active.
  • Counts recomputed from the JSONs: tidyverse 77 = 13 TP / 41 FP / 0 uncertain (+23 unowned); posit 395 = 41 TP / 354 FP / 0. check-ledger.py agrees on both (395, 77). README index rows match.
  • Truth of the five positives: all five are the typed-NA-over-maybe-empty-test shape, and R collapses each one — hms empty x -> logical(0) (the motivating Fix three edge cases in format_hms(), hms(), and seq.hms() tidyverse/hms#231 bug), blob pillar_shaft empty x -> logical(0), gt result == "" with empty result -> logical(0), gt 0-row tbl columns -> logical(0), sprintf_unless_na is the hms shape verbatim. The branch binary fires on all five pinned sources at exactly the ledger locations.
  • Digests: tidyverse ce2bef2e… and posit f747ebc8… both recompute byte-exactly from the committed reports using the README recipes. Staleness history checks out: at 1784245 the tidyverse ledger digest (d9d1fca1…) did not match its reports (27c0c289…), and it reproduces again on both main and this branch.
  • Merge note for the coordinator (the followup that matters): fix(core): flag non-UTF-8 inputs R's parser rejects #471 is now MERGED into main (e3b43fc), and this branch conflicts with main (merge-tree shows 5 hunks; GitHub reports CONFLICTING). fix(core): flag non-UTF-8 inputs R's parser rejects #471's posit delta vs the shared base 1b7123f is exactly one new lintr RY000 true positive (tests/testthat/dummy_packages/cp1252/R/cp1252.R:4:1, plus posit.lintr.root.txt); this branch's is exactly the three gt RY106 TPs. Union resolution: posit-0.9.0.json -> 396 findings, classification true_positive 42 / false_positive 354 / uncertain 0, source_sha256 recomputed over all posit.*.root.txt including posit.lintr.root.txt; posit-messages-0.9.json, the SUMMARY files, and the README posit row (395 -> 396) likewise; tidyverse is untouched by fix(core): flag non-UTF-8 inputs R's parser rejects #471 and needs no re-resolution. After the re-merge, re-run ecosystem/run.sh --check (both manifests) and check-ledger.py.

Overlay assessment

Sound and correctly guarded. Precedence is unambiguous (overlay replaces the vendored entry at load; compile-time embedding means no stale-overlay runtime); the drift test pins all non-annotation fields; the pristine-text test turns "upstream ships its own return_mode" into a CI failure that forces overlay removal instead of silent masking; the sync-survival harness test exercises the real script. The only residual process risk is the human one the PR body already names — the overlay must eventually be deleted when the spec lands upstream in r-typeshed, which the pristine-text test will in fact force at the first bump after that happens.

Local verification (detached worktree at 814ec92)

  • cargo test --workspace — pass.
  • cargo test -p ry-checker --test oracle -- --include-ignored — pass, 17 tests, R fixtures executed.
  • cargo test -p ry-checker --test vendor_snapshot — pass (2; no vendor snapshots changed; snapshot delta confined to corpus__checker_fixture_diagnostics.snap).
  • cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings — clean.
  • python3 -m unittest discover -s scripts -p 'test_*.py' — 14 tests OK.
  • python3 ecosystem/check-ledger.py docs/corpus/posit-0.9.0.json docs/corpus/tidyverse-0.7.1.json — OK (395), OK (77).
  • CLI hand-runs (branch binary, plus an origin/main binary for the pre-existence claims): everything above, plus — mixed test silent; rep(NA,2)/vctrs::if_else/dplyr::if_else/project-local ifelse silent; literal NA and both logical(0) forms fire; f <- function(x) ifelse(x > 0, "pos", "neg") silent; typed-NA over open-world test fires; ok fixtures at 0 diagnostics.
  • Upstream: git clone r-typeshed at the SOURCE pin, byte-diff of stubs/base/base.json — identical; PR list checked — no ifelse/return_mode filing.

Followups (non-blocking)

  1. Re-merge main (fix(core): flag non-UTF-8 inputs R's parser rejects #471) with the union ledger resolution above — 396 posit findings, 42 TP / 354 FP, digest recomputed with posit.lintr.root.txt; both corpus gates re-run. Flagged so the merge coordinator gets the numbers right.
  2. docs/corpus/rule-evidence-0.9.md RY106 row still reads 0/0 / "0 corpus findings" (pullfrog's last-round inline, unanswered at 814ec92) while this PR owns 5 corpus true positives — the row should read 5/0 with the five identities named (compare RY107's row).
  3. Adjudicated acceptable, noting for the record: the narrowed_bindings distrust arm means f <- function(x) { stopifnot(length(x) == 1); ifelse(x, NA_character_, "b") } warns (reproduced) even though a length-1 test cannot collapse. This is the documented RY105-consistent stance (length is a generic with untracked length.* dispatch, RY032's length(x)==1 guard exclusion is dead code in package mode (strict resolves_to_base) — 46 corpus FPs, one-word fix #372) and the cost is one warning on a guard-pinned formal; fine to keep, worth remembering if RY106 volume ever needs trimming.
  4. Upstream the return_mode: test_template spec + schema docs to r-typeshed when convenient (the eventual home per the PR body) — and delete the overlay entry when it lands; CI will enforce the latter.

✅ No new issues found — the one open finding from the prior review is addressed, and the #471 re-merge reconciles cleanly end to end.

Reviewed changes

The delta since the prior pullfrog review (814ec92): one merge of main plus one reconciliation commit; the branch's own checker machinery (infer/ifelse.rs, infer/call.rs, ry-core/src/types.rs, the overlay) is byte-identical to the reviewed state.

  • Fixed the RY106 evidence row (3858765) — docs/corpus/rule-evidence-0.9.md now reads 5/0 with all five identities named (hms, blob, gt ×3), matching the ledgers this branch ships; both open review threads are resolved.
  • Re-merged main (37802e6) — brings #471 (the non-UTF-8 source flag) with no branch content lost to the merge resolution: rules.rs, docs/rules.md, rule_evidence.rs, and CHANGELOG.md all carry RY106 beside the merged entries, and the docs-parity, verdict, and corpus-snapshot targets are green on the merged tree.
  • Reconciled the posit ledger over the merged corpus (3858765) — exactly one new reviewed finding (lintr cp1252 R/cp1252.R:4:1 RY000, true_positive in test-fixture), posit 395 → 396 (42 TP / 354 FP), SUMMARY.posit.root.md RY000 6 → 7, a message-ledger entry, the README row, and fresh provenance — source_sha256 reproduces from the committed root reports and ry_commit is the full-length merge commit itself. The tidyverse ledger was correctly left untouched (its digest still reproduces).

Verified locally: ecosystem/check-ledger.py green on both ledgers (396 / 77), both source_sha256 recipes hand-recomputed to the committed values, the RY106 gt ×3 and RY107 glue identities grepped from the root reports and checked against the SUMMARY rows, README counts cross-checked against the ledger classification, and cargo test -p ry-checker --test corpus --test rule_evidence --test readme_rule_table (5 / 9 / 2) passes. CI: ecosystem and Oracle (R) green; the posit lane was still in flight at review time.

Track all length alternatives in the maybe-empty union.

The ifelse contract allows a logical result for an empty test and for a nonempty all-NA test. Therefore, logical collapse does not occur only at length zero. An open-world test can produce logical(0), a nonempty logical result, or the non-logical branch result.

Copying result.length into both members can infer logical<len=1> | branch<len=1> for scalar branches and lose the empty case. Use Length::Unknown for the logical member and Length::Nonempty for the branch member.

Proposed fix
-            let collapsed = RType::new(Mode::Logical, result.length);
-            return Some(RType::union(std::sync::Arc::from([collapsed, result])));
+            let collapsed = RType::new(Mode::Logical, Length::Unknown);
+            let nonempty_result = RType {
+                length: Length::Nonempty,
+                ..result
+            };
+            return Some(RType::union(std::sync::Arc::from([
+                collapsed,
+                nonempty_result,
+            ])));

Do not treat dispatchable comparisons as definite all-NA tests.

infer_binop invokes try_s3_binop_dispatch before primitive comparison inference. A classed operand can therefore dispatch x == NA to Ops.foo, which may return TRUE or FALSE. test_definitely_na still marks the syntax as all-NA; infer_test_template_call then emits RY106 and forces logical result mode, although base::ifelse can return the branch mode.

Restrict definite detection to literal NA expressions unless primitive comparison semantics are established.
