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.

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.

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.

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.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
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.

Length::Nonempty, preserving empty, nonempty logical, and branch length

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.

Implements #461 (RY106,
ifelse-mode-collapse), following the issue's three-part direction.Approach
Maybe-empty length split (
crates/ry-core/src/types.rs).Length::Unknownnow means "unknown, possibly zero" — the open-world default parameters already carry, mirroring how scalar-guards.md treats scalar defaults — and a newLength::Nonemptyvariant captures "exact count unknown, provably at least one". A reusableLength::may_be_empty()predicate is the shared foundation New rule: vacuous all() in validation guards admits zero-length non-numeric input #462 (vacuousall()) 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 exhaustiveLengthmatch was audited for the new variant.Typeshed
return_modespec (crates/ry-typeshed). NewReturnModeSpec::TestTemplate { test, values }— the mode-dimension analog ofseq_len'sreturn_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 atload_base()time; the vendoredbase/base.jsonstays upstream-pristine becausescripts/sync_typeshed.sh(and the weeklyTypeshed bumpworkflow) wholesale-replacesvendor/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.RY106 warning (
crates/ry-checker/src/infer/ifelse.rs, wired as a stage before the typeshed tail). Fires whenyes/noagree 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-NAtest) or the test may be empty and a branch is a typedNAconstant of the shared mode (NA_character_,NA_real_, ...). Message suggestsvctrs::if_else(). A definite collapse infers alogicalresult; a maybe-empty test infers an honestunion[logical, branch].Evidence from the issue, verified against R 4.6.1
ifelse(logical(0), NA_character_, "a")islogical(0);ifelse(NA, "a", "b")is logicalNA— the result is seeded from the test (Fix three edge cases in format_hms(), hms(), and seq.hms() tidyverse/hms#231,as.character(hms())returninglogical(0)).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 > 0for NA-capablex) stays silent because the type lattice carries no NA facts and the repo's ownok_ifelse_mode.Rpins 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)
Length::Zerois 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 inferredlen = 0no 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:R/drive_mime_type.R:56— RY106 fired on the join-artifactcharacter<len=0>refinement; now silent (0 diagnostics onR/).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.Rentries still fire.return_modeis replaced by the local overlay described above; the weekly bump cannot strip it. Upstreaming theifelsereturn_mode: test_templatespec (plus its schema documentation) to r-typeshed is the eventual home — theseq_lenprecedent 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.R/hms.R:218:3and blobR/format.R:43:10; posit gtR/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).
