A16 and A17: verification assumptions with run manifests, the lock discipline checked on the bytecode - #233
A17: the lock discipline checked on the bytecode, for every execution.
drf/LockDisciplineBytecodeTest runs in mvn test. It reads StreamBuffer's class files with ASM and, for every method of the class and its inner classes, follows the control flow to find the locks held at each instruction.
It checks:
every access to a @GuardedBy field and every call of a @GuardedBy method happens on this, with its lock held on every path;
no field that is neither final nor volatile lacks @GuardedBy;
accessors of inner classes and lambda bodies are covered.
It also checks the README's field table against reflection. That check found ownedPrefix (added in A14) missing from the table; it is now added.
19 negative controls run on class files mutated in memory.
The two reviews' findings are fixed, each with a control:
a value that is the lock on one path only;
another object's lock or field;
lambdas and method references;
the constructor exemption.
A16: assumptions and run manifests.
VERIFICATION-ASSUMPTIONS.md has one row per verification result, V1–V18: property, tool, scope, assumptions and CI job. It also lists the trusted base, the caller contracts, and what no result covers.
The READMEs name each claim's row as [Vn]. VerificationAssumptionsTest fails on a reference to no row or a row named nowhere.
Every job of formal-verification.yml now ends by writing a JSON manifest and uploading it as the artifact manifest-<job>. The manifest records the commit, the run, the tools with version and SHA-256, and the job's counts.
TODO.md: every open verification item is now in one table. A15 (the release gate) comes last and waits until everything else is done, to keep CI times short; this was the owner's decision.
No production code change.
Test plan
mvn verify: 386 tests, including the 21 of LockDisciplineBytecodeTest and the 4 of VerificationAssumptionsTest.
PIT: 100 % in every class. It ran before the review fixes, which changed only test code that reads class files and does not run StreamBuffer.
The manifest steps pass bash -n. The tla-model and tlaps-proofs steps were run on the logs of a full local run: 10 modules with 8,036 obligations, 61 Apalache checks, 33/33 traces.
Two agent reviews (a full one and one on the delta), with every finding fixed or recorded as a known limit under A17 in TODO.md.
CI is green on this branch. The formal jobs other than ESC and RAC run on schedule only, so their manifests appear with the first scheduled run after the merge.
Docs and CHANGELOG updated: README.md, VERIFICATION-ASSUMPTIONS.md, CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md, TODO.md.

…r every execution
LockDiscipline computes, for every method of StreamBuffer and its inner classes, the locks held
at each instruction (a must-hold data flow over the control-flow graph: monitorenter of a value
loaded from a lock field adds it, monitorexit removes it). Every access to a @GuardedBy field and
every call of a @GuardedBy method needs its lock held on every path; a plain field without
@GuardedBy is an error; a @GuardedBy method starts with its lock held; synthetic accessors pass
their needs to their callers; constructors may touch their own fields. It holds for StreamBuffer.
The README's field table is checked against reflection, both ways and by kind; it lacked
ownedPrefix (a @GuardedBy("bufferLock") int since A14), now added. Negative controls on class
files mutated in memory: an unguarded read (bufferLock and signalLock), a read under the wrong
lock, an unguarded call of a guarded method, the annotation stripped from a guarded method, a
lock no longer taken, a plain field without @GuardedBy, a table without a row or with a wrong
kind: each is reported. asm-tree and asm-analysis declared as test dependencies (9.9.1, as
Lincheck brings them).

…, and run manifests
VERIFICATION-ASSUMPTIONS.md: every verification result as a row V1-V18 (property, tool, scope,
assumptions, CI job), which revision a result is for, the trusted base, the caller contracts and
what no row covers. The READMEs name a claim's row as [V<n>]; VerificationAssumptionsTest fails
on a reference to no row, a row named nowhere, or rows not numbered one by one (with negative
controls). Every job of formal-verification.yml ends with src/test/verification/manifest.sh
(commit, run, rows, tools with version and SHA-256, its counts) uploaded as manifest-<job>; the
counts were checked on the logs of the Vultr run (10 modules and 8,036 obligations, 61 Apalache
checks, 33/33 traces).
A17's docs: README "Data-Race Freedom" point 2 is now checked on the bytecode for every
execution; CHANGELOG and CLAUDE.md for both packages. mvn verify: 377 tests; PIT 100 %.

… control each
- a value that is a lock on one path only is no lock: an unknown origin is kept in the join;
- the object itself is tracked (this, this$0 of an inner class): another object's lock or field
is reported, and the constructor's exemption is for its own object only;
- only javac's access$ methods pass their needs on; lambda bodies are checked as methods, a
method reference to a guarded method or field is reported;
- a non-final field of an atomic type counts as plain;
- the test that passed for the wrong reason (a round trip of an unmutated tree) is gone.
New controls: an accessor that needs the lock (reported at the inner class's call), a lock taken
on one branch, a monitor that is the lock on one path only, an access in the handler after the
monitorexit, a lambda body, a method reference, another object's lock, another object's field, a
copy constructor. 20 tests; mvn verify 385 tests. Docs: V3's assumptions (aliasing after the
release, calls through a supertype), the publish rows include V8, the push trigger is main only,
the tlapm hash is the built tarball's; JPF's manifest keys named per harness.

At a call of an accessor that needs a lock, the object passed must be this (javac passes the
receiver the source uses); an accessor's parameter 0 is the object only if it has the outer
class's type; only this$0 is the outer object. A control: the same accessor called with another
object is reported, with this it is not. 21 tests; mvn verify 386 tests. The rest of the delta

The change adds bytecode lock-discipline checks and tests, a V1–V18 verification-assumptions inventory, and JSON manifests uploaded by eight verification jobs. It also updates verification references, documentation, and the roadmap for related verification work.
Adds ASM test dependencies and a checker that analyzes guarded fields and calls, object origins, locks, and control-flow paths.
Checker tests and documented field coverage src/test/java/net/ladenthin/streambuffer/drf/LockDisciplineBytecodeTest.java, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md, TODO.md
Adds positive and negative bytecode tests, compares the README field table with declared fields, and documents the checker and its scope.

Verification results and references VERIFICATION-ASSUMPTIONS.md, src/test/java/net/ladenthin/streambuffer/verification/VerificationAssumptionsTest.java, README.md, src/test/jpf/README.md, src/test/tla/README.md
Catalogs V1–V18 and their assumptions, tools, scopes, and CI jobs. Tests check that README references match the inventory; verification references are added to the documentation.
Manifest generation and CI uploads src/test/verification/manifest.sh, .github/workflows/formal-verification.yml, CHANGELOG.md, CLAUDE.md, TODO.md
Adds a script to generate JSON manifests and updates eight jobs to record job-specific evidence and upload separate artifacts. Documentation records the manifest workflow and related A16 work.
Verification roadmap and run procedure TODO.md
Updates the roadmap, run prompt, and procedure for the A16–A18 sequence and places A15 after the other listed work.
This change adds verification documentation, a bytecode lock-discipline test and CI manifests, and does not alter library behavior. The lock-discipline check can miss removal of a guard annotation on final fields, and a few documentation and manifest details overstate or mis-encode their data. These are worth fixing, but they are unlikely to cause production failures and are not merge-blocking.

- Around line 191-193: Update the @GuardedBy field validation in LockDiscipline
to reject lock fields that are not final. Reuse the field lookup result to
distinguish missing fields from mutable fields, and add a violation for a found
field lacking the final modifier; preserve the existing missing-field check.

- Around line 477-480: Update the documented-guard comparison in
LockDisciplineBytecodeTest to check loaded class-file annotations for every
guarded field, including final fields, and compare both annotation presence and
lock name with the documented guard. Add a negative control that removes
buffer’s @GuardedBy annotation and verifies the comparison reports a mismatch.
Review comments at @src/test/verification/manifest.sh:
- Around line 23-24: Replace the manual escaping in esc() with a dedicated JSON
encoder, and use it for every manifest key and value. Ensure control characters
such as ANSI escapes, tabs, and newlines are encoded as valid JSON rather than
emitted raw or replaced with spaces.
Review comments at @VERIFICATION-ASSUMPTIONS.md:
- Line 22: Update the V1 row to scope the proof to inputs satisfying their JML
preconditions, and include the unproved precondition obligation at the
shouldTrim() call site for decideTrimExecution in the assumptions. Preserve the
existing proof tools and other listed assumptions.

Compare the documented guards with the class-file annotations.
If @GuardedBy("bufferLock") is removed from final field buffer, this comparison still passes because its kind cell contains final. LockDiscipline also accepts the unannotated final field and stops checking its accesses. An unguarded buffer access can then pass both checks while the README still lists the guard.
Compare annotation presence and lock names, including for final fields. Use the loaded class-file annotations. Add a negative control that removes buffer's annotation and requires a mismatch.

- LockDiscipline: a @GuardedBy lock field must be final (a reassigned lock hands the guarded
section to a second thread); control: bufferLock made non-final is reported.
- The field table check compares the guard of every field, final ones too, with the class
file's @GuardedBy (without it the checker no longer checks a final field's accesses); control:
buffer without its annotation is reported.
- manifest.sh encodes with Python's json module, so control characters (an ANSI escape, a tab)
stay valid JSON; tested with both.
- V1 is for inputs that meet the JML preconditions; decideTrimExecution's bound is assumed at its
call site in shouldTrim(), not proved.
mvn verify: 388 tests (23 in LockDisciplineBytecodeTest).
