# Construct a proof for a move commit
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. What a proof is
|
||||
|
||||
- A runnable script that regenerates the commit from its base with the faithful relocation
|
||||
primitives and byte-diffs the result against it.
|
||||
- The property and primitive contracts: `spec-reproduction-utils.md`. Splitting the change
|
||||
so the move is provable: `guide-split.md`. Consuming the proof: `guide-verify-proof.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Auto-generate the script (primary path)
|
||||
|
||||
- `mechanical_refactor_proof_generator.py` infers the recipe from a commit's diff and
|
||||
before-state AST.
|
||||
- It emits and runs a standalone, auditable script — no one hand-writes it.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.1 Commands
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# one commit: print the inferred script and run it (non-zero exit unless PASS)
|
||||
python3 .claude/skills/mechanical-refactor-verify/scripts/mechanical_refactor_proof_generator.py <commit>
|
||||
|
||||
# a range: write a self-contained folder
|
||||
python3 .claude/skills/mechanical-refactor-verify/scripts/mechanical_refactor_proof_generator.py \
|
||||
<base>..<tip> --match -move: --out repro_out
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.2 The range product
|
||||
|
||||
Self-contained, auditable without the skill installed:
|
||||
|
||||
- `repro_scripts/<sha>.py` — one script per commit;
|
||||
- `output.log` + `output.html` — the verdicts;
|
||||
- a copy of `mechanical_refactor_reproduction_utils.py` — the scripts' only dependency.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.3 What the inference covers
|
||||
|
||||
- **Method → existing class**: call sites lowered (`Owner.m(recv, …)` → `recv.m(…)`), the
|
||||
orphaned local import removed.
|
||||
- **Method → module-level free function**: call sites requalified (`Owner.m(…)` → `m(…)`).
|
||||
- **Free function → existing module**: the call stays bare; callers repath their import
|
||||
(`repath_import` when function-scoped; module-level repoints realised as remove-old +
|
||||
add-new).
|
||||
- **New-module extract of scattered defs**: `extract_symbols_to_new_module` under the
|
||||
audited header; a constant that relocated into the header is dropped from the source.
|
||||
A contiguous-tail source still uses `extract_to_new_module`.
|
||||
- **A source file the commit deletes** once its defs relocated: `delete_file`.
|
||||
- **The module-level import diff**, realised directly from the target: gained names added
|
||||
(a wholly new module's statement verbatim, wrapping kept), lost names removed with
|
||||
`remove_imported_name`.
|
||||
- Non-Python files in the commit do not block inference; their diff is noted and left to
|
||||
the residual.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2.4 What it reports `UNSUPPORTED`
|
||||
|
||||
- Single-commit mode prints the verdict with notes and exits non-zero; range mode
|
||||
records it in the outputs.
|
||||
- Review such a commit as prepare, or hand-write the `Repro` (§3).
|
||||
- The cases:
|
||||
- **no definition relocated** — a rename (even a privacy flip `_foo` → `foo`) or a
|
||||
statement-level reorder; reshapes belong in prepare;
|
||||
- **a new-module extract whose symbols are not all top-level in the source** — a
|
||||
method still inside a class; prepare must de-self it out first;
|
||||
- **an extract drawing from more than one source file**, and an **inline-block
|
||||
extract-function** — compose `extract_function` by hand (the body must be unchanged;
|
||||
a de-self / restructure is a separate semantic commit).
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Hand-write the `Repro` when inference falls short
|
||||
|
||||
- Compose the transform from the same primitives (`spec-reproduction-utils.md` §3).
|
||||
- The same byte-diff then certifies it.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
from pathlib import Path
|
||||
|
||||
sys.path.append(".claude/skills/mechanical-refactor-verify/scripts")
|
||||
from mechanical_refactor_reproduction_utils import Repro
|
||||
|
||||
r = Repro(base="<base_sha>", target="<commit>")
|
||||
# Adapt call sites / repath imports BEFORE moving, so a call to a moved method from inside
|
||||
# another moved method is lowered while still in the source and travels with the body.
|
||||
r.lower_call_sites("update_weights_from_ipc", "ModelRunner", paths=["a.py", "b.py"])
|
||||
r.remove_import("a.py", "from x import ModelRunner", in_function="update_weights_from_ipc")
|
||||
r.move_symbol("update_weights_from_ipc", src="a.py", dst="dst.py", into_class="WeightUpdater", dedent=0)
|
||||
r.add_import("dst.py", "import gc")
|
||||
r.run() # PASS = byte-identical; otherwise prints the residual
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. A hand-written transform for a non-relocation mechanical change
|
||||
|
||||
- For a whole-file split or rename — no single symbol relocates — write a `transform()`
|
||||
and call `verify_mechanical_refactor`.
|
||||
- The scaffold (worktree, pre-commit, diff, reporting) lives in the skill's utils.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import sys
|
||||
from pathlib import Path
|
||||
|
||||
sys.path.append(".claude/skills/mechanical-refactor-verify/scripts")
|
||||
from mechanical_refactor_reproduction_utils import verify_mechanical_refactor, git_add_and_commit
|
||||
|
||||
BASE_COMMIT = "<base_sha>"
|
||||
TARGET_COMMIT = "<final_sha>"
|
||||
|
||||
def transform(dir_root: Path) -> None:
|
||||
source = dir_root / "path/to/source.py"
|
||||
lines = source.read_text().splitlines(keepends=True)
|
||||
for target_path, start, end in [("path/to/a.py", 1, 50), ("path/to/b.py", 51, 120)]:
|
||||
target = dir_root / target_path
|
||||
target.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
|
||||
target.write_text("".join(lines[start - 1 : end]))
|
||||
source.unlink()
|
||||
git_add_and_commit("split source.py", cwd=str(dir_root))
|
||||
# A rename is just: for each file, write content.replace(OLD, NEW); commit.
|
||||
|
||||
if __name__ == "__main__":
|
||||
verify_mechanical_refactor(BASE_COMMIT, TARGET_COMMIT, transform)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Publish the proof with the PR
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.1 What to share
|
||||
|
||||
- Share the scripts **plus** the copied `mechanical_refactor_reproduction_utils.py` — the
|
||||
scripts import it, so a lone raw file is not runnable.
|
||||
- Never a `python3 <(curl ...)` one-liner: process substitution gives the script no real
|
||||
directory, so the import breaks.
|
||||
- Flat layouts work: Python puts the script's own directory on `sys.path`, so the utils
|
||||
module can sit either next to the script or one level up (the `--out` layout).
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.2 Author: create a gist
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd repro_out
|
||||
gh gist create --desc "mechanical-move proof for PR #NNNN" \
|
||||
repro_scripts/*.py mechanical_refactor_reproduction_utils.py output.log
|
||||
# prints https://gist.github.com/<user>/<gist_id> -- put it in the PR description
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- `gh gist create` flattens paths — fine per §5.1.
|
||||
- Alternatives: a PR attachment (zip the `--out` folder) or a branch holding it.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.3 Reviewer: download and re-run
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
gh gist clone <gist_id> /tmp/proof # or: git clone https://gist.github.com/<gist_id>.git /tmp/proof
|
||||
cd <repo-root> # the run resolves the repo from the cwd
|
||||
python3 /tmp/proof/<sha>.py # PASS = byte-identical to this commit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Include exactly these commands in the PR description under a
|
||||
"Mechanical move — reproducible" heading.
|
||||
|
||||
### 5.4 Keep the PR mechanical
|
||||
|
||||
- A mechanical PR contains **only** mechanical changes (moves, splits, renames, import
|
||||
fixes, formatting). Semantic changes go in a separate PR.
