swaits 081bd28cca journal + determinism tests + Creusot verification scaffolding
Phase 1 — semantics doc
  docs/002. hsmc-semantics-formal.md

Phase 2 — deterministic execution journal
  hsmc/src/journal.rs (TraceEvent, JournalSink, ActionKind)
  hsmc-macros: __chart_journal! emission at every observable site
    (entry/exit/action/transition/timer arm-cancel-fire/during/emit/
    event delivery/terminate). Per-state during count helpers, stable
    chart-hash via FNV-1a. Action observation moved out of run_action
    and into call sites so ActionKind is accurate.
  Public API on the generated machine: journal(), take_journal(),
    clear_journal(), CHART_HASH.

Phase 3 — verification crate (Creusot scaffolding)
  verification/{Cargo.toml,mise.toml,requirements.txt,INVARIANTS.md}
  verification/src/{event_queue.rs,timer_table.rs} — Pearlite
    contracts on simplified mirrors of the runtime types. cargo
    creusot generates Coma IR cleanly; VCs not yet discharged.
  Correspondence tests drive the verified mirror and the runtime
    type with the same op sequences and assert observable parity.

Tests — 113 deterministic-flow tests across 22 files. Each compares a
  hand-built expected journal byte-for-byte against actual, anchored
  to a spec section: initial entry, lateral/self/up transitions,
  bubbling, timers, emit, ordering, durings, step/dispatch
  equivalence, root-targeting, current_state, termination.

Tooling — mise.toml (root): stable Rust + cargo subcommands.
  verification/mise.toml: pinned nightly-2025-11-13 + opam + python
  venv + uv. just verify is fully self-installing.

Bug fix — root state targetable by the chart's own name (e.g.
  `on(Trig) => ChartName;`) per spec §"How transitions work".

CHART_HASH — stable FNV-1a fingerprint over the chart's structural
  definition; mismatch on replay = different chart.

# Invariants Mapping
Maps spec rules from `docs/002. hsmc-semantics-formal.md` to Pearlite
contracts in this crate. Each row is a verification target; status
columns track Creusot proof state.
## Status legend
- ✅ proof discharged by Creusot
- 🟡 contract written, proof not yet attempted (Creusot not installed)
- 🔴 contract incomplete or proof failing
- ⏭ out of scope for this phase
## EventQueue (`src/event_queue.rs`)
| Spec rule | Statement | Function | Status |
|-----------|-----------|----------|--------|
| S6.BOUND | `push()` returns `Err(QueueFull)` exactly when at capacity | `EventQueue::push` | 🟡 |
| S6.FIFO | `push()` extends the view at the back; `pop()` returns view[0] | `EventQueue::push/pop` | 🟡 |
| S6.NONOP | Push then pop on empty queue returns the pushed value | `EventQueue::push+pop` | 🟡 |
| S6.EMPTY | `is_empty()` ⇔ `view().len() == 0` | `EventQueue::is_empty` | 🟡 |
| S6.CLEAR | `clear()` makes the view empty | `EventQueue::clear` | 🟡 |
| S6.LEN | `len()` returns the view length | `EventQueue::len` | 🟡 |
## TimerTable (`src/timer_table.rs`)
| Spec rule | Statement | Function | Status |
|--------------|-----------|----------|--------|
| S5.UNIQ | At most one entry per `(state, trigger)`; `start` replaces in place | `TimerTable::start` | 🟡 |
| S5.CAP | View length ≤ CAP across all operations | (all) | 🟡 |
| S5.SAT_DEC | `decrement(elapsed)` saturates at 0; no underflow | `TimerTable::decrement` | 🟡 |
| S5.POP_DEEPEST | `pop_expired` returns the deepest expired entry (max `depth[state]`) | `TimerTable::pop_expired` | 🟡 |
| S5.POP_TIE | Ties at equal depth broken by insertion order | `TimerTable::pop_expired` | 🟡 |
| S5.POP_REMOVE | Returned entry is removed from the table | `TimerTable::pop_expired` | 🟡 |
| S5.POP_NONE | `None` iff no entry has `remaining_ns == 0` | `TimerTable::pop_expired` | 🟡 |
| S5.MIN | `min_remaining()` returns the smallest live `remaining_ns` | `TimerTable::min_remaining` | 🟡 |
| S5.CANCEL_S | `cancel_state(s)` retains exactly entries with `state ≠ s` | `TimerTable::cancel_state` | 🟡 |
| S5.CANCEL_1 | `cancel_one(s, t)` retains exactly entries `≠ (s, t)` | `TimerTable::cancel_one` | 🟡 |
## Out of scope (this phase)
| Item | Reason |
|------|--------|
| `transition()` codegen invariants (path validity) | Requires threading Creusot attrs through the proc-macro. Phase 4. |
| `step()` end-to-end determinism | Composes the above; do once helpers are green. Phase 4. |
| Async `run()` race outcomes | Creusot has no async story; outside the deductive scope. |
| User action bodies | User code, not part of the runtime. |
| `duration_from_secs_f64` | Floating-point not modeled. Use `#[trusted]` + property tests. |
## How to verify
```bash
just verify
```
That's it. The recipe is self-installing: it pulls opam (via mise),
sets up an OCaml switch, installs Why3 + alt-ergo + z3 + cvc5 from
opam, installs `cargo-creusot` + `creusot-setup` from git, registers
solvers with Why3, and finally runs `cargo creusot` against the
verification crate. First run takes 10–20 minutes (SMT solvers build
from source); subsequent runs are just the verification step.
Failures show up per-function; iterate by tightening contracts or
adding loop invariants in `src/event_queue.rs` / `src/timer_table.rs`.
## Correspondence with the runtime
The mirrors in `src/event_queue.rs` and `src/timer_table.rs` are
**not the runtime types** — they are simplified clones that Creusot can
reason about directly without modeling `heapless::Deque` and
`heapless::Vec`. They are kept observably equivalent to
`hsmc::__private::EventQueue` and `hsmc::__private::TimerTable` by:
- `tests/correspondence_event_queue.rs`
- `tests/correspondence_timer_table.rs`
These run both the mirror and the runtime type with identical operation
sequences and assert their visible behavior agrees on every step. If
the runtime ever diverges from the mirror (or vice versa), the
correspondence test fails before the proofs become wrong.
