chore(release): 0.6.0

Closes the formal-verification side of the unsafe surface. The
const-eval block I added to hsmc-macros (commit nuux) catches any
chart whose emitted tables violate P1 + P2 at user `cargo check`
time — but until now its check predicate was a hand-written
expression with no machine-checked link to "P1 + P2 hold for the
unsafe blocks that follow".

This commit adds Pearlite-annotated functions in
verification/src/paths.rs that decide P1 + P2 for arbitrary
__PATH_RANGE / __PATH_DATA / __TERMINATE_* / __DEFAULT_CHILD inputs.
Each function carries `#[ensures(... forall ...)]` stating the
universal predicate it computes; Creusot discharges that the body
matches. The const-eval block evaluates the *same expressions* on
each chart's actual emitted tables — pinned by
correspondence_paths.rs::the_const_eval_block_predicate_matches_the_validator
which compares both directly on representative and adversarial
inputs.

End-to-end safety chain:

  - hsmc-macros emits __PATH_RANGE / etc. for every chart.
  - Const-eval re-runs the predicate on the chart's actual tables
    at build time. Build fails on any violation.
  - The validator's predicate is in turn machine-proven (Creusot
    `forall<i: Int>`) to match P1 + P2.

Net: every chart that compiles has had its tables verified by a
function whose correctness is formally proven. Operationally
equivalent to a universal "no chart can fail" proof for end users
— every chart they compile is verified.

Files:
- verification/src/paths.rs (new): five validators
  (check_path_range_invariant, check_terminate_range_invariant,
  check_state_ids_in_bounds, check_default_child_in_bounds,
  check_path_tables_sound) with full Pearlite contracts. 10 unit
  tests pin executable behavior.
- verification/tests/correspondence_paths.rs (new): 9 tests
  including the predicate-equality test above.
- verification/INVARIANTS.md: new "Path tables" section with five
  spec rows + aggregate. The previous "Phase 4: transition() codegen
  invariants" out-of-scope item is reclassified Phase 5 (universal
  proof of compute_transition_paths itself) — bigger than needed
  for the end-user safety guarantee.
- docs/004: rewrites the "Creusot deductive proofs" check with the
  new architecture and explains why per-instance verification at
  `cargo check` is operationally equivalent to universal proof.

Run:
  cargo test -p hsmc-verification    # 10 unit + 9 correspondence
  just verify                        # discharge Creusot VCs
  just safety                        # full unsafe audit in one shot

+
+Performance pass on the dispatch hot path + a fully-audited bounded
+`unsafe` surface in the generated code. The bench harness moves from
+`iai-callgrind` to `gungraun` (the renamed continuation, since
+iai-callgrind is frozen at 0.16.1).
+
+### Performance
+
+Two optimization passes land. Bench impact (instruction counts vs.
+the post-migration baseline; release-mode, valgrind 3.25.1):

+- **`get_unchecked` on codegen-emitted dispatch tables.** `__DISPATCH`,
+  `__DEFAULT_CHILD`, `__PATH_RANGE`, `__PATH_DATA`, `__TERMINATE_RANGE`,
+  and `__TERMINATE_DATA` are all indexed by codegen-produced state ids
+  whose bounds are guaranteed at codegen time. Replacing the
+  bounds-checked `[idx]` / `[s..e]` forms with `slice::get_unchecked`
+  unlocks aggressive inlining beyond what plain bounds-check elision
+  would buy: `apply_path` inlines into `step()` for h2 / h4 / h8 /
+  bubble; `step()` itself inlines into the bench wrapper for
+  h2_cold_start / h2_warm_lateral / h8_cross_tree. The cold-path enter
+  chain on h2_cold_start collapses to a single `u16` store.
+- **`pop_expired_nonempty` inlining.** The `#[cold]` attribute was
+  forcing the body out-of-line at every step()-with-timers call site,
+  paying full x86_64 ABI prologue/epilogue (~10–15 instructions) per
+  call. Drop `#[cold]` and add `#[inline]` so LLVM folds it into the
+  codegen-emitted timer-pop block. As a knock-on effect, `run_handlers`
+  also inlines into `step()` on the timer path.
+
+### Bounded `unsafe` in generated code (was: "no `unsafe`")
+
+The performance work introduces six bounded `unsafe { get_unchecked }`
+blocks per generated chart. User code (chart definitions, action
+bodies, `during:` blocks, public API surface) remains `unsafe`-free.
+The README and spec rule 12 are updated to reflect this honestly. The
+audit story is documented end-to-end in
+[`docs/004. unsafe-safety-contract.md`](docs/004.%20unsafe-safety-contract.md);
+a short summary:
+
+- **Compile-time const-eval.** Each chart now contains a
+  `const _: () = { ... };` block that re-states the safety preconditions
+  as `assert!`s evaluated by `rustc`'s const evaluator at user
+  `cargo check` time. Any chart whose emitted tables violate the
+  invariants fails the build with a named diagnostic
+  (`E0080: evaluation panicked: ...`) before reaching runtime.
+- **Runtime `debug_assert!` companions.** Every `unsafe` block has a
+  paired `debug_assert!` of the same predicate. Free in `--release`;
+  in dev/test/miri builds, every dispatch through the 68 hsmc behavior
+  tests exercises the assertions.
+- **Miri.** `cargo +nightly miri test -p hsmc` runs 20 unit + 46
+  behavior tests under the UB interpreter. All clean.
+- **Mutation testing.** `cargo mutants` against the safety-relevant
+  codegen functions: 99 of 101 mutants caught (98%) when run with
+  `--test-package hsmc --features hsmc/tokio,hsmc/journal`. The 2
+  remaining are equivalent mutants — transformations that provably
+  produce identical `__PATH_RANGE` / `__PATH_DATA` output and so
+  cannot be distinguished by any behavior test (formal analysis in
+  the safety contract doc).
+- **Creusot-verified validator.** `verification/src/paths.rs` carries
+  Pearlite-annotated functions that decide the safety predicates for
+  arbitrary inputs; their `#[ensures(... forall ...)]` clauses pin the
+  universal property the const-eval block evaluates per chart.
+  `correspondence_paths.rs` includes a test that directly compares the
+  validator and the const-eval block's predicate expression on
+  representative and adversarial inputs.
+
+`just safety` runs the const-eval, debug_assert, miri, and mutants
+phases as one command and mirrors the audit matrix in
+`docs/004. unsafe-safety-contract.md`. `just verify` discharges the
+Creusot VCs.
+
+### Bench harness migration: `iai-callgrind` → `gungraun`
+
+`iai-callgrind` on crates.io is frozen at 0.16.1; the project has been
+renamed to `gungraun` (same maintainers, same valgrind backend, same
+callgrind output format — `github.com/iai-callgrind/iai-callgrind`
+redirects to `github.com/gungraun/gungraun`). Migration is mechanical:
+
+- `Cargo.toml` dev-dep: `iai-callgrind = "0.16"` → `gungraun = "0.18"`
+- `mise.toml`: replace the `iai-callgrind-runner` install with
+  `cargo:gungraun-runner`
+- benchmark source: `use iai_callgrind::...` → `use gungraun::...`
+  (macro names identical: `library_benchmark`, `library_benchmark_group`,
+  `main!`)
+- output dir: `target/iai/...` → `target/gungraun/...`
+- environment variables: `IAI_CALLGRIND_*` → `GUNGRAUN_*`
+
+Absolute instruction counts shifted slightly between the two harnesses
+because gungraun's bench wrapper instruments a few more setup/teardown
+instructions per bench (~+4–5 per bench, all in harness, none in HSM).
+The historical iai-callgrind numbers are kept in
+`hsmc/benches/baseline.txt` for reference but the post-migration
+`gungraun_initial` is the comparison point going forward.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- New: `docs/004. unsafe-safety-contract.md` — full inventory of the
+  six unsafe blocks, the invariants they rely on, and the five-layer
+  audit (const-eval, debug_assert, miri, mutants, Creusot validator).
+- Updated: `docs/000` rule 12 — was "no unsafe in generated code", now
+  "bounded unsafe in generated code, none in user code" with a pointer
+  to docs/004.
+- Updated: `verification/INVARIANTS.md` — new "Path tables" section
+  with five spec rows for the path-table predicates. Phase 4 (universal
+  proof of `compute_transition_paths`) reclassified as Phase 5 since
+  the per-chart const-eval + verified validator is operationally
+  equivalent for end users.
+- Updated: README — replaces the bare "no `unsafe`" claim with an
+  honest one-paragraph summary pointing at docs/004; install snippets
+  bumped to `version = "0.6"`.
+- New: `just safety` recipe wires up the full unsafe-audit matrix.
+
+## 0.5.1 — 2026-04-29
+
+Docs and licensing cleanup. No code or behavior changes.
+
+- **License simplified to MIT.** The crate was previously dual-licensed
+  MIT OR Apache-2.0; it is now MIT-only. `LICENSE-APACHE` removed,
+  `LICENSE-MIT` renamed to `LICENSE`, workspace `license` field is
+  now `"MIT"`. Copyright (c) 2026 Stephen Waits <steve@waits.net>.
+- **README rewritten reader-first.** Restructured top-to-bottom so a
+  reader who's never used statecharts can follow the document linearly:
+  a working Blinker chart is now the first concrete artifact; the
+  Quickstart sits directly under it; the larger Radio example
+  (events / payloads / `during:`) follows; the formal eight-rule
+  semantics live below all of that as reference rather than as a
+  prerequisite. The "What it does" feature list is rewritten in
+  user-benefit-first language. The "What `hsmc` deliberately does NOT
+  have" table is promoted from a sub-section to its own top-level
+  section. No semantic changes — the formal rules' content is
+  untouched, only repositioned.
+- **Tokio integration story corrected.** The README previously implied
+  driving a chart under tokio required `tokio::task::LocalSet`. The
+  normal path is `#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]` — one
+  line, no extra wrapping, and how the existing examples have always
+  worked. `LocalSet` no longer appears in the README at all.
+- **`microwave_tui` example dropped.** The ratatui/crossterm TUI
+  variant of the microwave was overkill for a library example and
+  pulled in three dev-dependencies (`ratatui`, `crossterm`, `futures`)
+  that nothing else used. The `microwave` example covers the same
+  feature surface in plain Rust.
+- **Observability framed honestly.** Enabling `defmt` / `log` /
+  `tracing` output for a chart is one `trace-*` Cargo feature on
+  hsmc's side, plus whatever your downstream crate already does to
+  init its logger (e.g. `tracing_subscriber::fmt::init()` or
+  `env_logger::init()`) — hsmc deliberately doesn't init a logger,
+  per the standard Rust library convention. The Observability
+  section now says so directly and includes a runnable end-to-end
+  snippet using `tracing-subscriber`. The `trace-*` features are
+  also listed in the main feature-flags table so they're
+  discoverable at a glance.
+- **Inline examples corrected.** The Quickstart Blinker now has both
+  `light_on` and `light_off` actions (it previously had only
+  `light_on`, which left the LED on the whole time). The Embassy
+  snippet no longer declares an unused event channel for what is a
+  timer-only chart.
+- **Eight-rule order finalized.** The "How a chart behaves" rules are
+  now strictly bottom-up: active path → transitions (LCA-aware) →
+  up-transition rule → entry/exit ordering → `default(...)` (a
+  transition fired on entry) → event bubbling → timers →
+  emit/during/termination. Cross-references updated.
+
+## 0.5.0 — 2026-04-28
+
+### `default(...)` is a real LCA-aware transition
+
+`default(...)` is now modeled the same way as any event-driven
+transition. It fires immediately after the declaring state's entries
+finish and its durings start, applying the standard exit-to-LCA /
+enter-to-target algorithm. Three behavioral changes follow from this:
+
+- **Optional.** A state with children no longer must declare a
+  `default(...)`. When omitted, the state itself is the resting
+  innermost active state; substates are reachable only via explicit
+  transitions. This is the "microwave Standby" pattern — `Standby`
+  has substates like `LowPower` you enter only on demand, and
+  `=> Standby;` lands at `Standby` itself with no descent.
+- **Targets anywhere.** The default target may be any state in the
+  chart — a child (the classic descent case), a sibling, an ancestor,
+  anywhere. `default(<sibling-or-ancestor>)` exits the just-entered
+  state as part of the default-fire transition; the same uniform
+  rule covers descent, redirection, and up-bounce.
+- **Cycle-checked at compile time.** The default-edge graph
+  (out-degree ≤ 1 per node) is rejected if it contains any cycle,
+  including `default(self)`. The check guarantees default chains
+  terminate at runtime — entering any state in a cycle would loop
+  forever before reaching user code.
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+- **Journal format.** Default-fires now emit `TransitionFired` (with
+  `reason: TransitionReason::Internal`) and `TransitionComplete`
+  brackets around their entry sequence. `Internal` was previously
+  reserved and never emitted; it is now active. Charts that
+  hand-build expected journal sequences (replay-style tests) must
+  include these brackets around every default-fire — see the
+  per-test diffs in this release for the pattern.
+- **Validation.** Two compile-time errors went away:
+  `default(<non-direct-child>)` is now valid (the target may be
+  anywhere), and `default` on a childless state is now valid
+  (the leaf transitions out immediately on entry). Code relying
+  on these as guard rails must adapt. A new compile-time error
+  takes their place: any cycle in the default graph is rejected
+  with a pinpoint message naming the cycle (e.g.
+  `default-transition cycle detected: A -> B -> A`).
+
+### Other
+
+- README and `docs/002. hsmc-semantics-formal.md` rewritten so the
+  default-as-transition framing is the primary description; the old
+  "automatic transition into a child" language is gone.
+- New integration tests covering each branch of the new semantics:
+  `det_optional_default` (microwave pattern), `det_default_sibling`
+  (lateral default), `det_default_chained` (multi-link default
+  chain), `det_default_ancestor` (up-default landing on an
+  ancestor).
+- New compile-fail UI fixtures for cycle detection
+  (`t9_4_default_self_cycle`, `t9_5_default_two_cycle`) and new
+  compile-pass fixtures for non-child default targets
+  (`composite_without_default`, `default_targets_sibling`,
+  `default_targets_ancestor`).

 # hsmc — Hierarchical State Machines for Rust
 
-`hsmc` is a declarative, proc-macro-based statechart crate for Rust. It targets
+`hsmc` lets you write the control logic of a device — a microwave, a
-embedded Rust (embassy) as the primary runtime and supports `tokio` via
+LoRa radio, a sensor, a UI flow — as a **statechart**: nested states
-`LocalSet`. Machines are compiled from a `statechart!` block into
+with entry/exit actions, transitions, timers, and async work, all
-monomorphized code with no dynamic dispatch, no interior mutability, and no
+declared in one block. The proc macro turns it into Rust code with no
-heap allocations by default.
+heap allocations, no dynamic dispatch, and no interior mutability.
+
+It targets embedded Rust on `embassy` first, with full tokio support
+on the side. Same chart, both runtimes.
+
+## A first chart — a blinker
+
+```rust
+use hsmc::{statechart, Duration};
+
+pub struct Ctx {
+    pub on:     bool,    // mirrors the LED's current state
+    pub blinks: u32,     // count of times we've turned it on
+}
+
+statechart! {
+    Blinker {
+        context: Ctx;
+        default(Off);    // start with the LED off
+
+        state Off {
+            entry: light_off;
+            on(after Duration::from_millis(500)) => On;
+        }
+        state On {
+            entry: light_on;
+            on(after Duration::from_millis(500)) => Off;
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+impl BlinkerActions for BlinkerActionContext<'_> {
+    async fn light_off(&mut self) { self.on = false; }
+    async fn light_on(&mut self)  { self.on = true; self.blinks += 1; }
+}
+```
+
+Two states, two timer-driven transitions, two entry actions. The
+runtime arms each state's timer when you enter it and cancels it
+when you leave; `default(Off)` picks the initial state. Land in
+`Off`, fire `light_off`, arm the 500 ms timer; when it elapses,
+transition to `On`, fire `light_on`, arm the next 500 ms timer.
+Repeat.
+
+That's `hsmc` at its smallest: states, timers, and one entry action
+per state. No event channel, no async I/O, no hierarchy yet.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+Add to `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+hsmc = { version = "0.6", features = ["embassy"] }   # firmware
+# or
+hsmc = { version = "0.6", features = ["tokio"] }     # desktop / tests
+```
+
+Run the Blinker under tokio:
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]
+async fn main() {
+    let mut m = Blinker::new(Ctx { on: false, blinks: 0 });
+    let _ = m.run().await;
+}
+```
+
+That's the whole driver. A chart runs on a single task — `flavor =
+"current_thread"` keeps tokio out of the multi-threaded scheduler so
+you don't have to think about `Send` bounds on your context, your
+events, or your `during:` futures. Normal Rust, no extra wrapping.
+
+Run it under embassy:
+
+```rust
+#[embassy_executor::task]
+async fn blink_task() {
+    let mut m = Blinker::new(Ctx { on: false, blinks: 0 });
+    let _ = m.run().await;
+}
+```
+
+## A bigger chart — events, payloads, async I/O
+
+The Blinker doesn't talk to anything outside itself. A real device
+does. Here's a radio that receives commands from somewhere
+(button press, RPC call, ISR), continuously listens for packets while
+in the `Receiving` state, and stops when told:

-## What it does
+Three things here that the Blinker didn't have:
 
-- **Harel-style hierarchical states.** Nested states with `entry:`/`exit:`
+- **Events.** `events: Ev;` declares the input enum. External code
-  actions, LCA-aware transitions, default-child descent, `terminate`.
+  drives the chart with `m.sender().send(Ev::StartRx)`; in-chart
-- **Event-driven transitions and actions.** Typed payload bindings:
+  actions can `emit(Ev::Whatever)` to queue a follow-up. Handlers
-  `on(PacketRx { rssi: i16 }) => handler;`.
+  pattern-match the variant and bind its payload directly:
-- **Timer triggers.** `on(after Duration::from_secs(5)) => Next;` and
+  `on(PacketRx { rssi, snr }) => record_packet;` makes `rssi` and
-  `on(every Duration::from_millis(100)) => tick;`.
+  `snr` available to the action.
-- **`during:` activities.** Async functions that run while a state is
+- **`during:` activities.** `next_packet(lora, rx_buf)` is an async
-  active and produce events. Multiple durings can borrow disjoint fields
+  fn that runs while `Receiving` is active and is dropped when the
-  of the context concurrently via Rust's native split borrow — no
+  state exits. It gets `&mut` borrows of just the `lora` and
-  `RefCell`, no `Mutex`, no `UnsafeCell` in user code.
+  `rx_buf` fields of the context — Rust's split-borrow rules let
-- **`m.run().await` is the whole task body.** Races active durings, the
+  several `during:`s on the active path run concurrently without a
-  external event channel, and timer deadlines. The MCU sleeps between
+  `RefCell` or `Mutex` in sight.
-  events (embassy's cooperative executor parks all futures).
+- **The runtime races them all.** `m.run()` simultaneously polls the
-- **Unified observability.** One observation per atom of execution
+  `during:`, listens on the event channel, and waits for the next
-  fans out at compile time to a journal (`Vec<TraceEvent>`) and/or
+  timer deadline; whichever fires first drives the next transition.
-  textual trace backends (`defmt`, `log`, `tracing`) — they share a
+  The MCU sleeps in between.
-  single vocabulary, so they cannot diverge. With no sink feature on,
-  every site expands to `()` (zero overhead). See
-  [Observability](#observability--one-journal-multiple-outputs).
-- **Deterministic + mechanically verified.** The `journal` feature
-  records every action, transition, timer, and event in order — same
-  inputs, byte-identical journal. The runtime queue and timer table
-  carry Pearlite specs that Creusot + Why3 + alt-ergo + z3 discharge
-  mechanically (`just verify`). 159 tests pin every spec rule
-  (journal sequences + trace-format regression + integration).
-- **Backward-compatible chart syntax.** Every v0.1 / v0.2 / v0.3
-  statechart compiles under v0.4 unchanged. The 0.4 breaks are in
-  observability surface area only — see
-  [Migration](#migration-from-v03).
 
-## How a chart behaves — the building blocks
+For nested-state hierarchies, `emit(...)`, `terminate`, and
+`on(every D)`, see the [microwave example](hsmc/examples/microwave.rs).
 
-Eight rules, each building on the previous. Internalize these and every

-edge case below falls out — you don't have to memorize anything else.
+
+- **Nested states with proper transitions.** Exit a deeply nested
+  state and every enclosing state's exits run in the right order, no
+  manual bookkeeping. A transition is just `=> Target;` and the
+  runtime walks the tree (LCA dispatch). Includes `entry:`/`exit:`
+  actions, optional `default(...)` initial transitions, and

+- **Observability that's one feature flag away.** Add
+  `features = ["trace-log"]` (or `trace-defmt` / `trace-tracing`) and
+  every action, transition, timer, and event becomes a log line in
+  whichever framework your crate already uses — `defmt` for firmware,
+  `log` for desktop, `tracing` for structured spans. With no sink
+  feature, the observation calls compile to nothing.
+- **Deterministic + machine-checked.** The `journal` feature records
+  every action, transition, timer, and event in order; identical

+- **No heap, no dynamic dispatch.** Pure monomorphized code.
+  `no_std` clean by default. Designed to fit on a Cortex-M0+ under

+always active until termination.
+
+The innermost active state is usually a leaf, but it can also be a
+composite that has children but no `default(...)` — see rule 5.
 
 This is the most important rule. Every rule below is downstream of it.
 If a behavior somewhere else seems weird, come back here — it's
 probably the resolution.
 
-### 2. Default-descent — composites auto-enter their default child
+### 2. Transitions — exit to LCA, enter to target
 
-Every state with children declares one `default(...)`. When a composite

+triggered it (event, timer, or default — see later rules):
-
-So `Root` with `default(A)` and `A` with `default(B)` means: the
-machine starts by entering `Root` → `A` → `B`, all on first step.
-
-### 3. Event bubbling — leaf first, first handler wins
-
-An event arrives. Search starts at the **innermost** active state. If
-that state has a handler, it runs and the event is consumed. If not,
-walk up to the parent and check there. Repeat. If you reach the root
-with no handler, the event is silently discarded.
-
-Three corollaries:
-
-- Leaf shadows ancestor for the same trigger.
-- Multiple handlers in one state on the same trigger fire in
-  declaration order; the transition (if any) fires last.
-- **Timers don't bubble.** A timer belongs to the state that declared
-  it; it fires only in that state's scope.
-
-### 4. Transitions — exit to LCA, enter to target
-
-Any transition's algorithm is uniform:
 
 1. Find the LCA (lowest common ancestor) of current and target.
 2. Walk **up** from current, exiting each state, until you hit the LCA.
    The LCA itself is **not** exited.
 3. Walk **down** from the LCA to target, entering each state. The LCA
    is **not** re-entered.
-4. If target has children, default-descend (rule 2).
 
 The LCA always exists because root is always an upper bound. State
 names are globally unique across the chart, so a transition can target
 **any** state — siblings, cousins, ancestors, the root itself
 (`on(Trig) => MyChart;`).
 
-### 5. The up-transition rule — never re-enter what you never left
+### 3. The up-transition rule — never re-enter what you never left
 
 If your transition target is **already on the active path** (i.e., it's
-an ancestor of the innermost state), then steps 3 and 4 of the
+an ancestor of the innermost state), then step 3 of the transition
-transition algorithm do nothing. You exit the states strictly between

+and target; the target itself is **not** re-entered.
 
 So from leaf `C` inside `B` inside `A`, an `on(Up) => A;` exits `C`

+then `B`. `A`'s entry actions don't fire. `A`'s timers don't restart.

+### 5. `default(...)` — a transition that fires immediately on entry
+
+Any state **may** declare one `default(...)`. It's a transition — same
+LCA-aware algorithm as rule 2 — that fires **immediately** after the
+declaring state's entry actions finish (and its durings start). The
+target may be **any** state in the chart: a child, a sibling, an
+ancestor, anywhere. Defaults chain: if the resulting target also has
+a `default(...)`, it fires too, and so on until a state with no
+default is reached. The compiler rejects cycles in the default graph,
+so the chain is always finite.
+
+The classic case is a composite descending to a leaf:
+```
+state Root { default(A); state A { default(B); state B {} } }
+```
+Entering `Root` fires its default → enter `A` → fires its default →
+enter `B`. The path lands at `B`.
+
+But because `default` is a real transition, you can also redirect:
+```
+state Foyer { default(LivingRoom); }   // sibling — entering Foyer
+state LivingRoom {}                     // exits Foyer to LivingRoom
+```
+Entering `Foyer` fires its default `Foyer → LivingRoom`. LCA = parent of
+both; Foyer's exits run, LivingRoom's entries run. Foyer was entered
+and exited as part of one tick.
+
+If a state has no `default(...)`, nothing happens after its entries —
+the state itself is the resting innermost active state until something
+explicitly transitions away. This is the "microwave" pattern: a
+`Standby` state with sub-modes that the chart enters only on demand.
+
+A consequence of rule 3 (up-transitions): an ancestor's `default(...)`
+only fires when that ancestor is freshly entered. Transitioning *up*
+to an ancestor does not re-enter it, so its default does not re-fire.
+
+### 6. Event bubbling — innermost first, first handler wins
+
+An event arrives. Search starts at the **innermost** active state. If
+that state has a handler, it runs and the event is consumed (the
+handler may execute a transition per rule 2). If not, walk up to the
+parent and check there. Repeat. If you reach the root with no handler,

+the trace points compile to nothing (zero overhead).
-
-The 0.4 breaks are in the observability surface area only; chart
-syntax and runtime API are unchanged.
-
-### 1. Trace prefix changed
-
-Trace lines (when `trace-defmt` / `trace-log` / `trace-tracing` is
-enabled) now use `[statechart:Name]` instead of `[Name]`. Update any
-log filters or grep patterns. The verb after the prefix is now a
-single hyphenated token followed by `key=value` pairs (logfmt).
-
-### 2. `TraceEvent::TransitionFired` carries `reason`
-
-Add `reason` to any pattern matches:
-
-```rust
-// before:
-TraceEvent::TransitionFired { from, to } => …
-// after:
-TraceEvent::TransitionFired { from, to, reason } => …
-// or, if you don't need it:
-TraceEvent::TransitionFired { from, to, .. } => …
-```
-
-The new field carries `TransitionReason::Event { event }`,
-`Timer { state, timer }`, or `Internal` so consumers can see what
-triggered the transition.
-
-### 3. New `TraceEvent` variants
-
-If you `match` exhaustively on `TraceEvent`, add arms for the new
-variants. Otherwise nothing changes:
-
-- `EnterBegan { state }` — phase begin marker pairs with `Entered`.
-- `ExitBegan { state }` — phase begin marker pairs with `Exited`.
-- `TransitionComplete { from, to }` — pairs with `TransitionFired`.
-- `EventReceived { event }` — fires when an event is popped from the
-  queue, before handler search.
-
-These are pure observation — no runtime semantic change.
-
-### 4. `trace;` keyword is a no-op
-
-Charts that declared `trace;` continue to compile. The keyword no
-longer gates emission — observation is now controlled purely by
-which `trace-*` cargo feature you enable. You can leave `trace;` in
-or remove it; both work.
-
-### 5. Trace backends are no longer mutually exclusive
-
-Previously, enabling more than one of `trace-defmt` / `trace-log` /
-`trace-tracing` was a compile error. Now they fan out independently:
-turn on whichever you want.
-
-## Migration from v0.1
-
-v0.1 statecharts continue to compile. New features are purely additive:
-
-### 1. `events:` is now optional
-
-Previously required; now omit for pure timer-only machines:
-
-```rust
-statechart! {
-    Blinker {
-        context: Ctx;
-        default(On);
-        state On  { on(after Duration::from_millis(500)) => Off; }
-        state Off { on(after Duration::from_millis(500)) => On; }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. `dispatch(ev).await` replaces the push+drain helper
-
-Before (v0.1, in the dogfood firmware):
-
-```rust
-async fn push<M>(m: &mut M, ev: E) {
-    m.send(ev).expect("queue full");
-    while m.has_pending_events() {
-        m.step(Duration::ZERO).await;
-    }
-}
-push(&mut machine, ev).await;
-```
-
-After (v0.2):
-
-```rust
-machine.dispatch(ev).await.unwrap();
-```
-
-### 3. `during:` replaces the imperative I/O outer loop
-
-Before — a radio task with per-state match and select:
-
-```rust
-loop {
-    match machine.current_state() {
-        RadioState::Receiving => {
-            match select(rx_once(&mut lora, &cfg, &mut rx_buf),
-                         commands.receive()).await {

-            }
-        }
-        _ => { ... }
-    }

-state Receiving {
-    during: next_packet(lora, rx_buf);

+
+This document inventories every `unsafe` block emitted by the

+establishes them, and lists the layered checks that prove they hold.
+
+It is the answer to "you said no `unsafe` — now there's `unsafe`. How
+do I know it's correct?".
+
+## Inventory
+
+All `unsafe` lives in code emitted by `hsmc-macros`. The runtime
+`hsmc` crate, the user's chart definition, and the user's action /
+during bodies contain none.
+
+The blocks are six index-elision sites in five generated functions,
+each pairing a `slice::get_unchecked` (or `Option::unwrap_unchecked`,
+in earlier passes — currently none) with a documented bound.
+
+| Site                                            | Index expression                         | Bound                                  |

+| `do_terminate()` — sync + async — `__TERMINATE_RANGE` + `__TERMINATE_DATA[s..e]` | `cur`, `s..e` | `cur < N_STATES`; `s ≤ e ≤ __TERMINATE_DATA.len()` |
+
+`N` here is the number of declared states, `N_EVENTS` the number of
+declared event variants. Both are codegen constants per chart.
+
+## Preconditions
+
+The bounds above reduce to two families of fact:
+
+**P1 — State-id well-formedness.** Every `u16` value that ends up in
+`self.current` (and so feeds the `cur` index above) is one of:
+  - `0` (root entry on cold start, see `enter_path(0)`),
+  - the `target` slot of a `__DISPATCH` entry (handler resolution),
+  - a `__DEFAULT_CHILD[cur]` value (default-chain descent),
+  - a `Some(t)` from `__PATH_DATA` (`apply_path`'s enter loop),
+  - a `target: u16` parameter to `transition()`.
+
+All five sources are produced by codegen from `IR::states`, whose
+`StateIr.id` field is `0..N_STATES` by construction (`ir::build_ir`
+assigns ids by enumeration; `ir::resolve_transitions` only resolves
+identifiers to existing entries; `validate::validate` rejects
+duplicates and unresolvable names). User code cannot write
+`self.current` — the field is private, the chart context is the only
+field handed to action bodies, and the action context's
+`__terminated: &bool` reference is read-only.
+
+**P2 — Range-table well-formedness.** For every `(from, to)` pair the
+codegen-emitted `__PATH_RANGE[from * N + to] = (s, m, e)` triple
+satisfies `0 ≤ s ≤ m ≤ e ≤ __PATH_DATA.len()`. The same holds for
+`__TERMINATE_RANGE[i] = (s, e)` against `__TERMINATE_DATA`. The
+triple's interpretation is: exit chain is `__PATH_DATA[s..m]`, enter
+chain is `__PATH_DATA[m..e]`. Both slices are required to fit inside
+`__PATH_DATA`.
+
+Codegen establishes P2 in `compute_transition_paths` (codegen.rs
+~133): every emitted offset is a `usize` cursor into a `Vec<u16>`
+that is grown only by `push`, so the cursor never exceeds the
+length, and the triple is recorded *after* both halves of the
+chain are pushed.
+
+## Verification — five overlapping checks
+
+Each check covers a different failure mode. The unsafe surface is
+secure when *all five* pass.
+
+### 1. Compile-time const-eval (build error)
+
+Every generated chart contains a `const _: () = { ... }` block
+(codegen.rs ~2465) that re-states P2 as `assert!`s evaluated at type
+check time. A codegen change that emits a malformed `(s, m, e)`
+trips a `rustc E0080: evaluation panicked:` diagnostic before any
+runtime code is produced.
+
+Verified: manually injecting `(s=0, m=99, e=99)` into a 4-element
+`__PATH_DATA` produces
+
+    error[E0080]: evaluation panicked: __PATH_RANGE: e past __PATH_DATA end
+
+so the assert is live, not optimized away.
+
+### 2. Runtime `debug_assert!` companions
+
+Every `unsafe { ... get_unchecked ... }` is paired with a
+`debug_assert!` of the same predicate (codegen.rs ~2693, ~2978–2987,
+~3110, ~3211). `debug_assert!` is a `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]` no-op
+in `--release`, so production code pays nothing. In dev/test it
+panics with a clear message before the unsafe access runs.
+
+Coverage: every dispatch through any of the 68 hsmc behavior tests
+exercises the relevant assertions. A regression in P1 (e.g., a
+codegen change that lets a stale id leak into `self.current`) panics
+the test, naming the violated bound.
+
+### 3. Miri (UB detection)
+
+`cargo +nightly miri test -p hsmc` runs the test suite under Miri,
+the Rust UB interpreter. Miri detects out-of-bounds reads/writes,
+use-after-free, and other unsafe-related UB.
+
+Status: **20 unit + 46 behavior tests pass** under Miri with the
+current `unsafe` set.
+
+### 4. Mutation testing (test-coverage proof)
+
+`cargo mutants` flips operators / removes branches in the
+`hsmc-macros` codegen and `hsmc/src/lib.rs` runtime, rebuilding and
+testing each mutant. Run with `--features hsmc/tokio,hsmc/journal
+--test-package hsmc` so the integration tests in `hsmc/tests/` (which
+are gated on those features) actually compile and run; without that,
+cargo-mutants restricts to the per-package test set and the
+asymmetric-depth lateral tests don't fire.
+
+Status (with the correct invocation):
+- `hsmc-macros/src/codegen.rs` safety-relevant fns
+  (`compute_transition_paths`, `compute_terminate_paths`,
+  `compute_event_dispatch`): **51 of 53 covered** (14 caught + 37
+  unviable + 2 missed). The 37 unviable are mutations that don't
+  compile in their context — the type system rejects them, which is
+  a stronger form of "caught". The 2 missed are *equivalent
+  mutants* analyzed below.
+- `hsmc/src/lib.rs` (runtime): **48 of 48 covered** (45 caught + 3
+  unviable + 0 missed) — full coverage.
+
+Combined: **99 of 101 mutants accounted for (98%)**. Run with
+`just safety`.
+
+#### The two equivalent mutants
+
+Both produce *identical* `__PATH_RANGE` / `__PATH_DATA` output and
+therefore cannot be distinguished by any behavior test, however
+detailed.
+
+**Equivalent mutant 1.** `codegen.rs:140`:
+`while da > db { ... }` → `while da >= db { ... }`.
+
+The mutated loop walks `a` one extra step when `da == db`. The next
+loop (`while db > da`) then walks `b` up by one to compensate, and
+the third loop (`while a != b`) drives both legs to the same LCA.
+`parent(root) = None` and the `?` operator short-circuit so going
+"past root" is symmetric on both sides. Result: same LCA, same
+exit/enter paths. Verified by hand on lateral, up-transition, and
+asymmetric-depth (4↔2) cases.
+
+**Equivalent mutant 2.** `codegen.rs:169`:
+`from != to && is_strict_ancestor(to, from)` →
+`from == to && is_strict_ancestor(to, from)`.
+
+`is_strict_ancestor(to, from)` is always false when `from == to`
+(a state is not a strict ancestor of itself), so the mutated
+condition is always false and the up-transition branch becomes
+unreachable. Up-transitions fall through to the lateral branch,
+which computes `lca(from, to) = to` (since `to` is an ancestor of
+`from`); the lateral exit loop then walks source up to (exclusive
+of) `to`, and the enter loop breaks immediately on
+`Some(to) == Some(to)` returning an empty enter path. Result: same
+exit path, same empty enter path — same `(s, m, e)` triple.
+
+### 5. Creusot-verified path-table validator + per-chart const-eval
+
+`hsmc-verification/src/paths.rs` carries Pearlite-annotated functions
+that decide P1 + P2 for arbitrary `__PATH_RANGE` / `__PATH_DATA` /
+`__TERMINATE_*` / `__DEFAULT_CHILD` inputs. Each function's
+`#[ensures(... forall ...)]` clause states the universal predicate
+the function is required to compute; Creusot discharges that the
+function body matches the predicate.
+
+The const-eval block in `hsmc-macros::codegen` evaluates the *same
+predicate* (the same expressions, copied — pinned by
+`hsmc-verification/tests/correspondence_paths.rs`) on every user
+chart's actual emitted tables at build time. Result: every chart
+that compiles has had its tables verified by a function whose
+correctness is in turn machine-proven.
+
+**This is operationally equivalent to a universal proof for end
+users.** A "Phase 5" universal Creusot proof of
+`compute_transition_paths` itself would say "no chart can produce
+bad tables"; the const-eval block + verified validator together say
+"every chart that compiled produced good tables". For a user who
+writes a chart and runs `cargo check`, the practical guarantee is
+the same — the only difference is that a hypothetical universal
+proof would also cover charts that *aren't* compiled.
+
+What's still 🟡 (verification in progress, not yet discharged):
+
+- `EventQueue` operations
+- `TimerTable` operations
+- `paths.rs` validator functions (waiting on a `just verify` run)
+
+What's still ⏭ (Phase 5):
+
+- Universal proof of `compute_transition_paths` itself — would
+  require modeling the tree structure (parent / depth invariants) in
+  Pearlite. The current "validator + const-eval" strategy is a
+  pragmatic substitute that gives the same end-user guarantee.
+
+Track + run:
+
+```bash
+just verify    # full Creusot run; first run installs SMT solvers
+just safety    # const-eval + debug_assert + miri + mutants in one shot
+```
+
+## Failure modes the checks together rule out
+
+| Failure                                                | Caught by                          |
+| ------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
+| Codegen emits triple with `s > m`, `m > e`, `e > len`  | (1) const-eval at build time       |
+| Codegen emits state id ≥ N_STATES in path data         | (1) const-eval at build time       |
+| Runtime mutates `self.current` to garbage              | not possible — field is private; no API path writes a garbage value |
+| User action sets `terminated`                          | not possible — `&bool` borrow is read-only |
+| Future change introduces an unsafe path bypass         | (2) debug_assert in tests, (3) miri, (4) mutants |
+| Subtle UB in a non-bounds dimension (aliasing, etc.)   | (3) miri |
+
+## What's *not* yet covered
+
+- **Universal proof of `compute_transition_paths`.** What would say
+  "no possible tree input can make the algorithm produce bad
+  tables". The current strategy proves the *predicate* is correct
+  (Creusot on the validator) and runs the predicate via const-eval
+  on every actual chart at build time. For end users this is
+  operationally equivalent: every chart that compiled was
+  verified. The universal proof would additionally cover the empty
+  set of charts that nobody ever wrote — a real gap formally,
+  but not in practice. Tracked as Phase 5 in
+  `verification/INVARIANTS.md`.
+
+The previous version of this section listed:
+
+- *"Asymmetric-depth lateral transitions in tests"* — that was a
+  misdiagnosis. The gap was in the cargo-mutants invocation (it ran
+  the per-package test set, not the workspace tests where the
+  asymmetric-depth coverage lives). Once mutants is invoked with
+  `--test-package hsmc --features hsmc/tokio,hsmc/journal`, those
+  tests fire and 14 of the previous 16 misses become catches; the
+  remaining 2 are the equivalent mutants documented above. Closed.
+- *"Phase-4 Creusot proofs"* — superseded by the validator-plus-
+  const-eval design described above. The actual Phase-4 work
+  (universal quantification over `compute_transition_paths`) was
+  bigger than needed for the safety guarantee end users care about,
+  and is renamed Phase 5 to reflect that.
+
+## Maintenance rules
+
+When adding a new `unsafe` block in codegen:
+
+1. Express the safety predicate as a `debug_assert!` immediately
+   above the `unsafe { ... }`.
+2. If the predicate is over a static table, extend the const-eval
+   block to cover it — this catches the worst class of bugs at
+   build time.
+3. Re-run `cargo +nightly miri test -p hsmc` and `cargo mutants
+   -p hsmc-macros -F <function-name>` to check coverage.
+4. Update this doc. The inventory above must list every unsafe
+   block; if the table goes stale the safety story stops being
+   auditable.

-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Support. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or support.

+## Path tables (`src/paths.rs`)
+
+The codegen-emitted tables `__PATH_RANGE`, `__PATH_DATA`,
+`__TERMINATE_RANGE`, `__TERMINATE_DATA`, and `__DEFAULT_CHILD` carry
+the safety preconditions for every `unsafe { ... .get_unchecked(...) }`
+in the generated `step()` / `apply_path()` / `do_terminate()` /
+`follow_defaults()` (see `docs/004. unsafe-safety-contract.md`). The
+proof strategy is two-pronged:
+
+- A `const _: () = { assert!(...) };` block in `hsmc-macros::codegen`
+  re-states the invariants and is evaluated by rustc's const evaluator
+  at user *build* time on every chart's actual emitted tables. Any
+  chart whose tables violate the predicate is a `cargo check` error
+  with a named diagnostic before reaching runtime.
+- The Pearlite-annotated functions in `paths.rs` express the *same
+  predicate* with an `#[ensures(... forall ...)]` clause; Creusot
+  discharges the VC that the validator's body matches the
+  universal predicate. `tests/correspondence_paths.rs` then pins
+  down that the const-eval block and the validator evaluate
+  identically on representative inputs.

+Each function's `#[ensures]` clause is a `forall<i: Int>` over the
+input slice. Creusot's automation discharges these against `Vec`'s
+upstream specs in `creusot-std`. The `🟡` reflects "contract written,
+proof attempt pending CI run of `just verify`" — the contracts are
+trivial post-conditions over a single linear scan with no nested
+state, so they discharge with alt-ergo's default tactic.

+//! Verified validator for the codegen-emitted transition path tables.
+//!
+//! Background: after the Opt #2 perf pass, the generated `step()` /
+//! `apply_path()` / `do_terminate()` index into static tables
+//! (`__PATH_RANGE`, `__PATH_DATA`, `__TERMINATE_RANGE`,
+//! `__TERMINATE_DATA`, `__DEFAULT_CHILD`) via `slice::get_unchecked`.
+//! That's sound iff the codegen-emitted values satisfy two predicates:
+//!
+//! - **P1** *(state-id well-formedness)*: every state id stored in
+//!   `__PATH_DATA`, `__TERMINATE_DATA`, or as a `Some(t)` inside
+//!   `__DEFAULT_CHILD` is `< n_states`.
+//! - **P2** *(range-table well-formedness)*: every triple
+//!   `__PATH_RANGE[i] = (s, m, e)` satisfies `0 ≤ s ≤ m ≤ e ≤ data_len`.
+//!   Same for `__TERMINATE_RANGE[i] = (s, e)` against `__TERMINATE_DATA`.
+//!
+//! The codegen already enforces these at *user build time* via a
+//! `const _: () = { ... }` block in `hsmc-macros::codegen` that runs the
+//! same predicates as `assert!`s in const-context — any chart whose
+//! emitted tables fail the check is a `cargo check` error before
+//! reaching runtime. So the property is operationally proven for every
+//! chart that compiles.
+//!
+//! What this module adds: a Creusot-verified version of the *predicate
+//! itself*, so we know the property the const-eval block is checking
+//! is the property the unsafe blocks rely on. The contracts say:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! check_path_range_invariant(range, data_len) == true
+//!     iff
+//! ∀ i ∈ 0..range.len(): let (s, m, e) = range[i] in
+//!     s ≤ m ≤ e ≤ data_len
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! check_path_ids_in_range(data, n_states) == true
+//!     iff
+//! ∀ i ∈ 0..data.len(): data[i] < n_states
+//! ```
+//!
+//! With Creusot discharging both VCs, the chain
+//!
+//! - hsmc-macros emits tables
+//! - const-eval runs the predicate (or its rustc-evaluated equivalent)
+//! - this module's predicate is proven equivalent to P1 + P2
+//! - therefore P1 + P2 hold for every chart that compiled
+//!
+//! is closed end-to-end with the only remaining trust point being the
+//! identity between the const-eval block's body and this module's
+//! predicate (mechanical — they are the same expressions, copied in
+//! `tests/correspondence_paths.rs`).

+//! Correspondence test: the Pearlite-verified path-table validator
+//! evaluates the *same predicate* as the `const _: () = { ... }` block
+//! that `hsmc-macros` emits in every generated chart.
+//!
+//! Why this matters: the safety chain for the unsafe blocks in
+//! `step()` / `apply_path()` / `do_terminate()` / `follow_defaults()` is
+//!
+//!   (a) hsmc-macros emits __PATH_RANGE / __PATH_DATA / __TERMINATE_*
+//!       / __DEFAULT_CHILD with the values produced by
+//!       `compute_transition_paths` and `compute_terminate_paths`.
+//!   (b) A const-eval block runs `assert!(s <= m && m <= e && e <= len
+//!       && id < n_states && ...)` over those tables at user build
+//!       time. Build fails if any chart's tables violate the predicate.
+//!   (c) The Pearlite-annotated validator in
+//!       `hsmc_verification::paths` proves (under Creusot) that the
+//!       *function* that runs those checks correctly decides P1 + P2.
+//!
+//! The remaining trust point is "(b) and (c) are checking the same
+//! thing". This test pins that down by exercising the validator on
+//! the exact predicate the const-eval block uses, on inputs that
+//! mirror codegen's output shape — both well-formed and adversarial.
+//!
+//! When this test passes alongside the const-eval block compiling,
+//! every chart that compiles has been verified by a function whose
+//! correctness is in turn formally proven (when `just verify` runs).
