Extraction cost model and support APIs

This is the core half of the greedy-DAG extraction split. It does not add
:extractor greedy-dag to core egglog; that syntax and heuristic live in the
downstream experimental PR:

Related context:

Changes

  • Separates the requirements of tree and DAG extraction:
    • Cost is the ordered, cloneable value needed to rank tree candidates.
    • TreeCostModel computes enode/container annotations and folds them with
      selected child costs. Its cost type does not need an addition operation.
    • MonoidCost adds a lawful identity and associative, commutative,
      monotone combination operation.
    • DagCostModel returns intrinsic enode, container, and base-value costs
      suitable for once-paid DAG accounting.
    • TreeCostModelFromDag explicitly adapts a DAG model to tree extraction by
      combining each intrinsic cost with its selected child costs.
  • Replaces the old additive model with AdditiveCostModel { node_cost }. Its
    default u64 configuration preserves unit-node costs and constructor
    :cost declarations.
  • Renames and re-exposes the reusable tree extractor as
    TreeExtractor<'g, C>. Callers can prepare costs for selected root sorts and
    repeatedly extract individual values while its borrow keeps the e-graph
    immutable.
  • Adds batch EGraph::extract_best_with_cost_model and
    EGraph::extract_variants_with_cost_model methods with named result structs
    and one shared TermDag.
  • Keeps the singular default-cost convenience API as
    EGraph::extract_value(&sort, value).
  • Represents an unextractable root as None in ExtractedTerms; strict
    command paths convert that case to ExtractError where required.
  • Routes builtin extraction, output, and function-printing paths through the
    refactored tree extractor. Batched best extraction reuses one reconstruction
    memo across roots.
  • Exposes normal-mode support needed by downstream custom extractors:
    container traversal/reconstruction and Function::is_unextractable.
    Downstream combines these with the already-landed
    Read::enodes_for_eclass lookup.

Public Interfaces

Extraction:

  • Cost, MonoidCost
  • TreeCostModel<C>, DagCostModel<C>, TreeCostModelFromDag<M>
  • AdditiveCostModel, DefaultCost
  • ExtractedTerm<C>, ExtractedTerms<C>, ExtractedTermVariants<C>
  • TreeExtractor<'g, C>
    • compute_costs_from_rootsorts(rootsorts, egraph, cost_model)
    • extract_best_with_sort(termdag, value, sort)
    • extract_variants_with_sort(termdag, value, nvariants, sort)

EGraph:

  • extract_best_with_cost_model(roots, cost_model)
  • extract_variants_with_cost_model(roots, nvariants, cost_model)
  • extract_value(sort, value)
  • container_inner_values(sort, value)
  • reconstruct_base_value(sort, value, termdag)
  • reconstruct_container_value(sort, value, termdag, element_terms)

Function:

  • Function::is_unextractable()

Review Notes

The normal (extract ...) command remains tree extraction. Proof extraction
is root-directed and separate after
#941; this PR does not modify that
path.

MonoidCost laws are semantic contracts that Rust cannot enforce. Built-in
implementations are limited to unsigned saturating integers and exact
BigInt/BigRational addition; arbitrary tree costs need only implement
Cost.

Validation

  • Full all-feature test suite
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • RUSTDOCFLAGS='-D warnings' cargo doc --no-deps --all-features
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check
  • Taylor 51 tree extraction, 30 release runs:
    • pre-PR: 691.2 ms +/- 21.5 ms
    • current: 680.3 ms +/- 8.9 ms
    • mean change -1.59%, 95% CI [-3.10%, -0.04%]

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added flexible cost-model support for custom extraction strategies.
    • Added structured results for best-term and multi-variant extraction.
    • Added batch extraction across multiple roots and helper methods for reconstructing extracted terms.
    • Added handling for configurable fallback and additive node costs.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Replaced the previous extraction and cost-model APIs with the new interfaces and result types.
    • Updated command extraction to support best results, variants, and multiple outputs.
  • Documentation

    • Updated extraction guidance, examples, and the changelog for the new APIs.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for custom costs, variants, batching, caching, and unextractable values.

Walkthrough

The extraction system now uses layered cost-model traits and structured batched results. TreeExtractor, EGraph, command handlers, documentation, and tests were updated for total-cost extraction, variants, shared term DAGs, and unextractable roots.

Changes

Extraction API refactor

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cost-model contracts and additive costing
src/extract.rs, CHANGELOG.md
Splits cost calculation into base, marginal, total, and fold traits. Adds configurable additive node and primitive costs.
TreeExtractor and structured extraction results
src/extract.rs
Adds named extraction result structs. Updates cost preparation, enode and container costing, best extraction, variant extraction, and constructor fallback handling.
Batched EGraph extraction and DAG reconstruction
src/extract.rs, src/lib.rs
Adds batched extraction APIs and value reconstruction helpers. Updates function_to_dag for structured terms and unextractable fallbacks.
Command integration and extraction guidance
src/lib.rs, src/lib.md, src/prelude.rs
Updates command extraction to use batched APIs and documents extract_best, AdditiveCostModel, custom costs, variants, and TreeExtractor.
Extraction behavior and API validation
tests/integration_test.rs, tests/api_introspection.rs
Adds coverage for cost models, cost reuse, variants, multi-root extraction, reachable sorts, invalid counts, configured costs, and subsumed enodes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5c42f

The new batched extraction APIs may re-traverse shared subterms when processing many roots, adding bounded performance overhead for large shared DAGs. This does not affect correctness and is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

constructor list from extractable_funcs_by_output_sort just to drop the borrow
before mutating self. Change the builder/storage type for that map to
Arc<[String]> and convert the lists once in prepare so the lookup at
discover_node can keep using .cloned() but only performs a cheap Arc clone;
verify func_names.iter() still works unchanged in the downstream loop.

In `@src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 1692-1694: The variant-count check in the extraction path
currently panics on a negative value, which can abort the interpreter when a
user-supplied expression evaluates to a bad count. Update the logic in the
extraction routine that handles n so it returns an Error instead of calling
panic, and propagate that error through the surrounding extraction/evaluation
flow so malformed input is reported cleanly without crashing.

In `@src/proofs/proof_extraction.rs`:
- Around line 94-97: The proof-term extraction path in proof_extraction.rs drops
the underlying error by using unwrap_or_else(|_| ...), so the panic message
loses the failure cause. Update the extract_best_for_proofs handling in the
proof extraction logic to bind the error value and include it in the panic
message alongside func.name, so failures from extract_best_for_proofs report the
actual Error details.

148-156: 🚀 Performance & Scalability

find_canonical does a full UF-table scan on every call; use the new indexed lookup.

This iterates the entire UF parent table via for_each for each invocation, even though the comment describes it as a one-hop "lookup". The greedy-DAG extractor calls find_canonical per node (compute_cost_node, discover_node, reconstruct_termdag_node_helper), so extraction becomes roughly O(nodes × uf_table_size) — directly at odds with this PR's performance goal. The for_each_matching_col helper added in this PR resolves matches via the lazy column index (with a scan fallback), and the single-parent invariant guarantees at most one matching row, so semantics are preserved.

Things to look into from talking to @oflatt:

  • verify that cycles are not extracted with a small test case, if you combine two extractions that it gives you a cycle?
  • Verify that this works on all examples, that the extraction after output can be turned into an s-expr and then checked against the e-graph to make sure its equal, also do for normal extraction
  • look in again if it could be moved to experimental
  • change producer language to parent if appropriate?

One thing I'd love is to have extraction work inside a ReadState as well as on the EGraph. But not this PR's problem.

I remember we discussed this and decided to keep the existing enode_cost? The original one is also more natural to me.

The existing enode_cost has the problem where its only ever used to produce total cost with the fold, so it seemed like odd to keep it. Like the functions were ever only called changed together, with enode_cost feeding into the total call.

So that it returned a "Cost" type was also a bit weird, really it could return anything that the fold took in, like I had to return odd stuff from it from Python to basically just pass data between them and do all the computation in total_enode_cost.

Did you pass odd stuff because there was no DAG cost model and extractor, or do you still need to do it even with the new DAG extractor?

If we use enode_cost here, TreeCostModel exposes a superset of cost functions of DAG cost model's, which is nice and matches our (my) intuition. My mental model of the tree cost model is that the term is annotated with cost tags and the cost of a term is just a fold over these cost tags. So, for example, the proposed cost model forbids you from doing it if you want to visualize an e-graph with per-node cost annotation, or serialize an e-graph with a custom cost model.

As I understand it, we should have the cost trait reflect what the underlying extraction algorithm needs. The fact that you can split this up into a fold and an e-node cost is an implementation choice of a particular cost model, not a requirement of the extractor.

So for example, you could have a cost model for the tree extractor which says "on this particular e-node multiply the child costs by ten and on this other one multiply the child costs by twenty. In the other interface, you would have to smuggle the e-node ID through the cost output of enode_cost and then interpret it in fold.

If we use enode_cost here, TreeCostModel exposes a superset of cost functions of DAG cost model's, which is nice and matches our (my) intuition.

We can already use any dag cost model as a tree cost model, do you mean something else?

So, for example, the proposed cost model forbids you from doing it if you want to visualize an e-graph with per-node cost annotation, or serialize an e-graph with a custom cost model.

This is already true with fold, which is more general than what is allowed in the visualizer or in serialization. Both of those in fact do not currently support the set-cost even, so if we want to somehow make those features aware of this, we would have to change things.

To me this is not an implementation choice, but the definition of the tree cost model.

The idea is that enode_cost returns all e-graph specific cost information, and fold is an e-graph--agnostic way to combine such information. This gives a clear description of the tree extraction problem, which can be specified as an e-graph with per-node cost information, and a generic fold function. I believe you cannot do this with total_node_cost.

"On this particular e-node multiply the child costs by ten and on this other one multiply the child costs by twenty" is a combine function we can define, while I think smuggling e-node ID is a bad idea. If you want to return odd stuff from enode_cost (e.g., the constant folded result of the children as a loop count estimate), the user can define the cost as a pair (ActualCost, Option) and ignore the second part for comparison, or better, we can tweak the egglog interface to support that.

We can already use any dag cost model as a tree cost model, do you mean something else?

I meant you could convert a tree cost model into a DAG one by disregarding combine.

Both of those in fact do not currently support the set-cost even

But we can implement this, right? Again, a serialized e-graph with node costs + an e-graph--agnostic fold function gives a complete specification of the extraction problem. But committing to total_enode_cost would eliminate this possibility.

Maybe another way to think about this is that TreeAdditiveCostModel and SetCostModel are essentially the same cost model, besides how they obtain the per-node cost, but the new interface loses this connection.

We dont need it. Every use case of it just extracted a few particular nodes, so I cleaned up the interface to just expose that to keep the details more private.

I thought part of the point of the extractor interface is to provide a zoo of different extractor implementations (like extraction-gym for egglog). It would be weird if someone implemented a faster extractor but found they couldn't get a handle on the plain Extractor for comparison. I'm also in favor of minimizing interface changes unless it's a strict improvement.

Another potential use case of the extractor is if the user wants to interactively extract a series of terms, without building the Extractor every time

We don't have an extractor interface. We just have a tree extractor and a dag extractor, and they expose different methods on the e-graph. Without anything that calls this interface, I am not sure what it would be for?

You can of course compare against the main extractor, you just call the methods on the e-graph.

Another potential use case of the extractor is if the user wants to interactively extract a series of terms, without building the Extractor every time

Yeah I just thought since I hadn't seen any use cases in experimental and main that exercised this pattern, we could remove it. That also frees us up to change how the extractor performs in the future. Like now it does this search at a sort level of the e-graph to trim, and does all extractions for that. But we could change it to do a more precise traversal of the e-graph and only build extractions for those expressions, instead of all pieces. By keeping the interface smaller then that doesn't have to be a breaking change.

We will want an extractor interface, right? There are many DAG extractor implementations (ILP, branch and bound, ASP, etc.), and there's the Dijkstra algorithm for tree extraction. Just like we have an interface for extensible schedulers, we should do the same for extractors. I'm all in for standardizing the interfaces around DAG and tree extractors, just like what we did in extraction-gym.

Not in experimental and main does not mean users won't have this pattern? A user could import egglog, build an e-graph, and interactively extract terms from the Rust side.

Sure but would that interface be? We dont define it in this PR and I would opt to defer it.

If we define that interface, then we want a way to actually use that interface in main somehow, like being able to switch extractors.

A user could import egglog, build an e-graph, and interactively extract terms from the Rust side.

Yeah you can do that today with the methods on the e-graph.

Basically I think there are two related points here:

  1. There is a question about having a re-usable extractor interface. I like this idea, but I didn't implement it in this PR. There was no previous extractor trait, just a concrete implementation of extractor. That extractor happened to work in a way that traverses first the e-graph at a sort level first, prepares all of those items, then allows extractions. It's not clear that we would want to use this as "the" interface, because for example, the DAG extractor does not traverse the whole e-graph by sort. It does a depth first traversal based on the actual nodes you want to extract. I would prefer not to standardize an extractor interface in this PR and defer that to later work. If we do have an interface, we should have a way to use that in the e-graph in some way.
  2. There is the loss of functionality with this changes around the default extractor. Previously, you could do the work of creating costs for a subset of the e-graph based on a list of sorts and all their possible children. I have shrunk the API to simply providing a list of expressions and getting their extractions out. I didn't see any uses for this more flexible API. I decided to shrink the exposed syntax to make it easier in the future if we want to change out default tree based extractor to use a different design that might not require traversing the e-graph by sort first. By keeping this public API it keeps us locked into that syntax, so further performance improvements would need to conform to it as well. If there are actual use cases today for this interface that would be helpful to understand why it's important to preserve.

You dont need it. It was only used in the default trait implementation and not used at all in the actual extractor, it was just used in the deafult trait implementation, but that wasn't really needed. so it seems cleaner to remove it. Like there is no reason for a cost to require it.

It provides a default head cost for functions and values. For example, in your implementation of TreeAdditiveCostModel and CustomCostModel, you use the magic number 1. It does not need to be magic if we have unit(). Alternatively, consider how you would make a generic AstSizeCostModel<C> where C: Cost if without unit.

Yeah it provides a default cost, but its not clear to me its worth having there, because if you define your own cost model, its not needed. I.e. cost should be about what the extraction/cost model needs, and its not required, its optional basically.

Like in the current implementation, this is how we implement the cost model for u64:

impl CostModel<DefaultCost> for TreeAdditiveCostModel {
    fn fold(
        &self,
        _head: &str,
        children_cost: &[DefaultCost],
        head_cost: DefaultCost,
    ) -> DefaultCost {
        children_cost.iter().fold(head_cost, |s, c| s.combine(c))
    }

    fn enode_cost(&self, egraph: &EGraph, func: &Function, _enode: &Enode<'_>) -> DefaultCost {
        func.extraction_head_cost(egraph)
    }
}

It isn't clear to me how this is better than doing:

impl CostModel<DefaultCost> for TreeAdditiveCostModel {
    fn fold(
        &self,
        _head: &str,
        children_cost: &[DefaultCost],
        head_cost: DefaultCost,
    ) -> DefaultCost {
        children_cost.iter().fold(head_cost, |s, c| s.combine(c))
    }

    fn enode_cost(&self, egraph: &EGraph, func: &Function, _enode: &Enode<'_>) -> DefaultCost {
        func.extraction_head_cost(egraph)
    }

Small nit: it seems some relatively big files are checked into the git history. Maybe worth doing a squash merge at the end.

* Expose enough e-graph introspection to walk and rebuild a sub-e-graph

Three additions to what a primitive body can see, none of them specific to any
one extension. Together they are what an out-of-tree primitive needs to walk
the term structure under an e-class and build a modified copy of it.

Read::enodes_for_eclass(name, eclass, f) walks a constructor's rows by output
e-class through the backend's lazy column index, instead of scanning the table
and filtering. Cherry-picked from #934 along with the core-relations
ExecutionState::for_each_matching_col and egglog-bridge
TableAction::for_each_output_value it rests on.

Read::table_schema(name) and Read::table_subtype(name) report a table's
declared column sorts and its subtype. EGraph::functions_iter already exposes
this from &EGraph, but a primitive body only ever sees a state wrapper, and
those carried no sort information at all - so a primitive could read rows
without being able to tell an e-class column from a base value. Backed by a
FunctionSchemas map the e-graph shares with the wrappers exactly as it already
shares ActionRegistry, and snapshot/restored across push/pop so a popped table
stops resolving. table_subtype also replaces probing a subtype by starting a
scan and reading the error, which egglog-experimental does today.

Core::rebuild_container(type_id, value, remap) remaps a container value's
contents and interns the result. Out-of-tree code cannot go through
Core::register_container, which requires naming the container's Rust type.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Split table_schema by subtype, and tidy the diff's docs

table_schema returned a schema for either subtype, which reads past the fact
that a constructor's last column is an e-class and a function's is an output.
Splitting it matches how the rest of Read and Write already work - lookup /
eclass_of, constructor_enodes / function_entries, set / add - so it is now
constructor_schema and function_schema, each erroring with WrongSubtype on a
mismatch. table_subtype stays as the error-free predicate to dispatch on when
either subtype is acceptable, which is what retires the subtype probe in
egglog-experimental.

Also applies the tidy-diff-docs skill to the comments this branch adds, and
records a new rule in that skill: import a type rather than naming it by an
inline full path, which is what FunctionSchemas was doing with
crate::util::HashMap.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Store a function's signature once, instead of adding a third copy

The first cut of this branch added a FunctionSchemas registry so a primitive
body could see column sorts. That was a third copy of data egglog already kept
twice: TypeInfo::func_types holds a FuncType {name, subtype, input, output},
and Function holds the same content again as a ResolvedSchema plus decl.subtype
(and a third time, unresolved, in decl.schema). What was actually missing was
not the data but a way to reach it from a state wrapper.

So there is now one store. TypeInfo::func_types becomes the shared cell -
Arc<RwLock<HashMap<String, Arc<FuncType>>>> - and the state wrappers hold a
handle to it, which is what backs constructor_schema / function_schema /
table_subtype. FunctionSchemas is gone. Function points at the same Arc<FuncType>
rather than storing its own copy, so Function::schema() -> &ResolvedSchema
becomes Function::func_type() -> &FuncType and ResolvedSchema is removed, its
get_by_pos moving to FuncType. declare_function reuses the signature
typechecking already resolved instead of resolving the sorts a second time; it
still resolves and records the functions desugaring generates (global bindings,
proof tables), which never go through typechecking.

Two things this had to get right. TypeInfo::clone deep-copies the map: a clone
is an independent e-graph - a pushed copy, or the parallel typechecking the
proof checker keeps - and declaring a function in one must not make it resolve
in the other. And pop restores the pushed contents into the live cell the
registered primitives already hold, rather than swapping in a cell they have no
handle to.

Also drops the second RwLock acquisition per primitive invocation the first cut
introduced: the wrapper holds the unlocked handle and the schema accessors lock
only when called, so a primitive that never asks pays nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Shorten the changelog entry and fold it into the existing API entries

The additions belong with the name-indexed e-graph access entry they extend,
not as a standalone block longer than anything else on the list. The signature
consolidation keeps a one-line breaking bullet next to the other breaking ones.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Let a primitive borrow the e-graph's signatures, instead of locking a handle

The schema accessors read TypeInfo through an Arc<RwLock<_>> the primitive
captured when it was registered. That lock was never guarding a race: declaring
anything needs &mut EGraph, run_rules already holds that borrow for the whole
execution, and nothing on Core/Read/Write can declare. It was there only
because external functions are stored as Box<dyn ExternalFunction + 'static>,
so a wrapper cannot hold a borrow of the e-graph.

So change the route rather than the synchronization. ExecutionState now carries
an ExternalContext - a borrowed value the caller of an operation makes visible
to the external functions it reaches - and egglog passes &TypeInfo into
run_rules and with_execution_state*. The state wrappers read it back with
downcast_ref, so `constructor_schema` hands out a &FuncType borrowed from the
e-graph itself.

With that, the invariant is enforced by the borrow checker instead of stood in
for by a lock: the &TypeInfo is live for exactly the operation that supplied
it, so the e-graph cannot be mutably borrowed to declare a function while a
rule is running. TypeInfo::func_types goes back to a plain owned map, so
get_func_type keeps its original Option<&FuncType> signature and costs a map
lookup again; TypeInfo::clone goes back to derive; and push/pop restore the map
like every other field, with no cell to reattach.

Rebuild paths pass None: they run generated rebuild rules whose actions
evaluate in the Write context, which has no schema accessors.

The one lock left on the invocation path is the pre-existing ActionRegistry
read in RegistryPrimWrapper::invoke, which this does not touch.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Share the signature a function decl carries, and say why it carries one

GenericFunctionDecl held both an untyped `schema: Schema` and a
`resolved_schema: Head`, which for a resolved decl was a whole owned FuncType
inside a ResolvedCall - a fourth copy of the signature - and for an unresolved
one was a placeholder `String::new()` standing in for "not resolved yet".

It is now `Option<Arc<FuncType>>`: no placeholder, and a typechecked decl
points at the same FuncType TypeInfo holds rather than cloning it.

Worth recording why the field survives at all, since it looks redundant next to
TypeInfo. Proof encoding runs over decls that desugaring generates *after*
typechecking - the functions global bindings lower to - which no TypeInfo knows
about until they are executed. Deleting the field and looking signatures up by
name works for every ordinary declaration and then panics on `$I`. The doc
comment now says so, so the next reader does not have to rediscover it.

Also drops ResolvedCall::view_types, whose only caller was one of the two
readers this touches.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Store a function's signature once, everywhere

Two copies were left after the last pass.

GenericFunctionDecl::resolved_schema is gone. I had concluded it was load
bearing, because deleting it and looking signatures up by name panics on `$I`:
proof encoding runs over decls desugaring generates after typechecking, which
no TypeInfo knows about yet. That was the wrong conclusion. The encoder never
needed a FuncType - it needed the column *sorts*, and sorts resolve by name
from TypeInfo like any other. Resolving them from the decl's own untyped schema
drops the field, its ResolvedCall::view_types reader, and the placeholder
`String::new()` an unresolved decl carried in it.

(Populating TypeInfo with the generated signatures instead does not work: the
desugared program is typechecked again afterwards, so recording early trips the
already-bound check.)

ResolvedCall::Func now holds an Arc<FuncType> rather than an owned one, so a
resolved call site shares the signature instead of cloning it - and there are as
many of those as there are calls in every rule. The patterns that matched
`ResolvedCall::Func(FuncType { subtype: Custom, .. })` cannot look through an
Arc, so they match the variant and test the subtype in a guard via a new
ResolvedCall::is_custom_func.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Review pass: tidy the diff's docs, cover the new API, fix two defects

Two reviews, one of them independent, converged on the same two defects:

- Deleting `ResolvedCall::view_types` left its `///` block behind, so the
  public `from_resolution_func_types` was documented as a different function.
- `func_type_of` reported `ApiError::MissingTable` for a table that exists
  whenever the execution carried no context, conflating "no declarations here"
  with "no such table". Now `ApiError::SchemasUnavailable`.

Coverage: the codecov report on the PR put `src/exec_state.rs` at 0% for this
patch - none of the new accessors were exercised in-tree, only from
egglog-experimental. `tests/api_introspection.rs` covers them, pinning
`enodes_for_eclass` against a filtered `constructor_enodes` scan (with a
row-count assertion so the comparison cannot pass vacuously), the subtype
split of the schema accessors, and `rebuild_container`'s three outcomes.
`core-relations` covers the context mechanism itself: an external function
reads back what the caller supplied, `None` when nothing was, and `None`
rather than a misparse when the type does not match.

Also from review: `record_signature` now debug-asserts a cached signature
agrees with the declaration it is reused for, `enodes_for_eclass` documents
that it matches the eclass column as stored, `is_custom_func` moved into the
existing inherent impl, the `context` parameters are documented on the entry
points that gained them, and `FuncType::get_by_pos` - carried over from the
deleted `ResolvedSchema` with no callers in the workspace - is dropped.

Doc tidy per the repo's tidy-diff-docs skill: five comments stated mechanism
instead of contract (the lazy-column-index narration on `for_each_matching_col`
and `for_each_output_value`, the rationale paragraph on `ExternalContext`, the
borrow-checker explanation on `type_info`, and "shares rather than copies" on
two `Arc` fields, which the type already says).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Address review: fewer accessors, fewer strings, and a name that fits

From @yihozhang's pass:

- `func_type_arc` is gone; `get_func_type` returns `Option<&Arc<FuncType>>`, so
  the callers that keep a signature clone the `Arc` and the rest are unchanged.
- `record_signature` is inlined into `declare_function`, its only caller.
- `non_stale()` after a scan was compensating for a bug fixed in this release
  (`9369a702 Filter stale rows in constrained bounded scans`). The invariant is
  now written down on `Table::scan_generic_bounded` and the `scan_bounded` /
  `scan_project` wrappers, and the five vestigial filters over scan output are
  gone. The three in `table/mod.rs` stay: those read pending-insert queues,
  where rows really can be stale.
- `for_each_matching_col` now prefers a sort the table already has, then a
  cacheable column's index, then the constraint during the scan - the order
  `Database::process_constraints` uses. It previously built and refreshed an
  index even when `split_fast_slow` had already answered by binary search.
- `EGraph::with_execution_state{,_tracked}` always pass `&TypeInfo`, so no call
  site has to reason about whether a primitive it cannot see needs it.
- `FunctionSubtype::label` and `TableKind::label` replace a free function and
  two inline matches, and `check_subtype` derives both labels instead of taking
  one as a string. `Display for FunctionSubtype` delegates to `label` rather
  than repeating it.
- `rebuild_container` is `map_container`: it maps a container's contents and
  interns the result without touching the original, and "rebuild" collided with
  egglog's canonicalize-after-union sense. It returns `Option<Value>` now, so a
  `TypeId` that does not match the value is reported rather than looking like
  "nothing changed" - `ContainerEnv` already drew that distinction and only the
  outer wrapper discarded it.

New test: a `ReadPrim` that resolves a signature from inside a `:naive` rule,
covering the path that reaches its execution state through `run_rules` rather
than `with_execution_state`. Verified it fails if that call site passes `None`.

See comments! My main feedback is about trait naming and organization.

I also noticed some documents are sometimes repetitive about, say, optimal substructure property. Also, maybe we should only document these required properties at the cost model declaration site and not the extractor declaration site, since they are properties that make a cost model sound?

Can we collapse this into the other cost models? A cost model defines a function from a term to a cost, and base cost model alone does not define such a function. My understanding is this is for implementation reuse, but this does not seem to save much code I feel.

Similarly, I think we should bake in to this cost model the idea that we combine node costs with + and "DAG" cost. Otherwise, this trait alone does not tell us how to define a cost function. As a corollary of this, FoldCostModel should not require MarginalCostModel

If we do that, I suggest we call MarginalCostModel "DagCostModel" and FoldCostModel "TreeCostModel", to align with the literature. If you want to distinguish them from TotalCostModel, maybe we can call them something like "TreeNodeCostModel" or "TreeMarginalCostModel"?

If you agree with the idea above, here we can duplicate the methods from MarginalCostModel.

Why do we need to store the EGraph?

We could also pass it in on methods, but this way we know its the same e-graph which is required anyways for things to work, so seems better to store it on construction instead of requiring a new one to be passed in.

Also this prevents using the extractor after the e-graph has been mutated which could cause errors.

Maybe name this as extract_best_with_cost_model (similarly for the next function) and bring back extract_value that defaults TreeAdditiveCostModel?

Why greedy dag needs to recompute marginal cost? Can't it just cache that?

One of the reasons why I preferred FoldCM over TotalCM was because you only need to call marginal_enode_cost once to pin down the cost of each e-node. So that nothing stops us if later we want to export/serialize an extraction problem. Does our extractor implementation have to get the cost multiple times?
