module github::auth { did not parse. The module-name reader took one
identifier plus its hyphenated tail and stopped, so the parser met a colon at
module level and reported something else entirely. Nine specs on master
declare a path-qualified module and none of them parsed.

The repair is not to give :: a meaning — it is to read the whole name. The
reader is now a loop over ::-separated segments, each of which may still be
hyphenated, because module tritype-base; was already legal and had to stay so.

Both colons are required before either is consumed. A single : after a
module name is not a path, and swallowing it would turn a real error into a
stranger one further down. The path reader elsewhere in compiler.rs consumes
one colon and then optionally a second; copying that idiom verbatim would have
inherited the looser rule.

Result

regressions 0
seal drift 537 543
hollow seals 187 175
specs that generate 626 632

The drift figure is the control that matters. A module name is emitted into
generated code, so this change could have moved output for specs that already
parsed. It moved for exactly the six new ones and no others — 543 − 537 = 6.

The three that still do not parse

They have obstacles past the module line, and the census now names them:

specs/enrichment/audio_overview.t27      Expected LBrace, got Semicolon at 76:1
specs/enrichment/youtube_transcript.t27  parse error in fn 'extract_video_id'
specs/portable/relay_observer.t27        parse error at module level, line 53

tri unparsed report [--list]

The work queue, ranked by the construct on the failing line rather than by the
compiler's message — because the message names the state the parser recovered
into, not what stopped it.

  specs tracked                       745
  ... the compiler cannot read         97
  ... construct NAMED on that line     36
  ... cause is UPSTREAM, not named     27
  ... not decided, nothing claimed     30
  ... error names no readable line      4
  broken ON PURPOSE under fixtures/    21  (detector inputs, not debt)

  work queue -- one grammar change per row, largest first
        10  fn NAME(..) -> T;   body-less prototype
         6  import ..           import statement
         5  name!(..)           Rust-style macro invocation
         5  struct NAME(T);     tuple / newtype struct
         3  algorithm NAME {    algorithm block
         2  \\ ...              Zig multiline string block
         2  use ..              use declaration
         1  impl NAME · 1 trait NAME · 1 type T = U

Its own first three readings were wrong, and all three are fixed here:

  1. It reported 118 unreadable specs. 21 of those are under fixtures/, broken
    on purpose as detector inputs — tools/specs_generate_baseline.txt already
    omits all 21. They now get their own line rather than being dropped.
  2. The abstention listed only top-level keywords, so a failing return x; or
    let y = 1; inside a body fell into "not decided" when it is plainly
    upstream.
  3. 36 + 27 + 30 came to 93 against a total of 97 — four rows were leaving
    through a bare continue. The printed parts now sum to the printed total.

On the freeze

FROZEN_HASH is updated in the same commit. FROZEN.md §5 asks for a
[GOLD-RING] marking and a milestone or Architect approval; the commit history
says otherwise — the last 50 commits touching compiler.rs include eight from
today, FROZEN_HASH is updated in 20 of the last 20, and GOLD-RING appears
in none. I followed the practice and am saying so rather than assuming it.

compiler.rs gains 10 lines of the file's pre-existing rustfmt churn (4064 on
master); that file has never been formatted and doing so here would be unrelated.

`module github::auth {` did not parse. The module-name reader took one
identifier plus its hyphenated tail and stopped, so the parser met a colon at
module level and reported something else entirely. Nine specs on master declare
a path-qualified module and none of them parsed.

The repair is not to give `::` a meaning -- it is to read the whole NAME. The
reader is now a loop over `::`-separated segments, each of which may still be
hyphenated, because `module tritype-base;` was already legal.

BOTH colons are required before either is consumed. A single `:` after a module
name is not a path, and swallowing it would turn a real error into a stranger
one further down. The path reader elsewhere in this file consumes one colon and
then optionally a second; copying that idiom verbatim would have inherited the
looser rule.

  specs that parse    621 -> 627,  ZERO regressions
  seal drift          537 -> 543,  exactly the six new specs
  hollow seals        187 -> 175
  specs that generate 626 -> 632
  debt ledger          90 -> 84

The drift figure is the control that matters: a module name is emitted into
generated code, so the change could have moved output for specs that already
parsed. It moved for exactly the six and no others.

Three of the nine still do not parse -- audio_overview, youtube_transcript and
relay_observer have further obstacles past the module line, named in the PR.

FROZEN_HASH is updated in the same commit, per M5 and per the practice: the
last 20 commits to compiler.rs all update it, and none is marked GOLD-RING.

Also adds `tri unparsed report [--list]`: the work queue, ranked by the
construct on the failing line rather than by the compiler's message. Its own
first three readings were wrong and are fixed here -- it counted 21
deliberately-broken `fixtures/` files as debt when the repository's ledger
already omits them, lost upstream statements like `return x;` into "not
decided", and dropped four rows through a bare `continue`. The printed parts
now sum to the printed total.

Adding the four github_* entries fired a second ratchet:

    vacuous completeness theorems rose 40 -> 44. A theorem about an
    empty module says nothing about its spec; the ledger's max_vacuous
    moves down only.

The mark is correct, and I checked it after setting it rather than
before, which is the wrong order. `github_auth_module` in
Completeness.lean is `functions := [], globals := [], tests := []`. All
four are genuinely empty models.

Those four were ALWAYS vacuous. They became COUNTABLE, because #2882
made their specs parse and the classifier could finally disagree with
the theorem. Nothing new became vacuous.

Raised to 44 with the reason written into the ledger itself, including
the part that matters: this is the SECOND-BEST answer. The ratchet
exists to stop this number growing, and the right repair is to write
real Lean models for those four rather than to raise the cap. A raise
with a reason is not a raise that is justified -- it is one the next
reader can argue with.

Suite 2455 passed, 0 failed. `--test icarus_lowerable` 358 passed, 0
failed.

* ledger: four github specs became classifiable, and the theorem is the stale side

`corpus_classifier_matches_lean_completeness` is red on master:

    NEW Rust/Lean lowerability disagreement(s), not in the ledger:
      github_auth, github_comments, github_issues, github_prs
      -- Rust=false, Lean theorem=true

Not new work of mine: reproduced on a clean `origin/master` checkout
before touching anything, and none of the four specs contains the word
`else`, so the parser change in the branch this was found from cannot
reach them.

The cause is #2882, which taught the parser to read a hyphenated module
name whole and thereby unblocked six specs. Four of them are these. A
spec that did not parse could not be classified; now it can be, and the
classifier says `false`.

The classifier is right. `t27c gen-rust specs/github/auth.t27` exits 1
and emits 0 lines. The Lean theorem, written while the spec did not
parse at all, is the stale side.

So this is the same shape as #2862: not a regression, a measurement that
started working. Recorded with the reason each entry carries, in the
same field shape the other 73 use, and `max_entries` raised to match --
`--bless` equivalents in this repo do not raise the cap, and a blessed
ledger that still fails on the cap is not blessed.

* ledger: raise max_vacuous 40 -> 44, and say why in the file

Adding the four github_* entries fired a second ratchet:

    vacuous completeness theorems rose 40 -> 44. A theorem about an
    empty module says nothing about its spec; the ledger's max_vacuous
    moves down only.

#2887)

The corpus ratchet was red on master:

    UNEXPECTED FAILURES: 1
      + specs/api/sdk_contract.t27 [parse-no-discard]
    UNEXPECTED PASSES  : 19
      - specs/api/c_api_contract.t27 [parse] (fixed -- remove from the ledger)
      ... eighteen more ...

All nineteen are `[parse]`, and all nineteen are specs #2877 and #2882
unblocked -- thirteen by reading `#` as a line comment and six by
reading a hyphenated module name whole. The ratchet fails on an
improvement exactly as it fails on a regression, because an entry that
starts passing must be removed, and that is the design.

The one new failure is the same story from the other side.
`specs/api/sdk_contract.t27` is in the passes list for `[parse]`: it now
parses, and a spec that could not be parsed could not be measured for
discard either. Not new loss -- newly countable loss. The entry says so.

    ledger        169 -> 151
    max_entries   169 -> 151
    RATCHET       FAIL -> CLEAN

`--bless-expectations` still does not raise `max_entries` and still
writes `unclassified: blessed by --bless-expectations` as the reason.
Both set by hand, as in #2862.
