Brummel 862882bc04 audit: cycle 0023 (#48) — drift reconciled; render paths unified
Architect drift review (bb90c42..481172a): no contract drift. C9 (render
reads structure + label()/params()/output() only, never eval), C8 (sink =
zero-output leaf, no special case), C12 (blueprint = root composite is
render-structural only; types stay distinct), C23 (consumer-prefix mirrors
the := binding), #38 (composites stay opaque) — all hold. Three fidelity
items, resolved:

- [high, fixed] spec acceptance over-claimed: the SimBroker slot-stub box read
  as in-scope though the work is deferred. Spec amended — the stub acceptance
  is annotated against #49, the met boxes checked.
- [medium, recorded] no docs/plans/0023: this cycle ran spike→refactor under
  user steering instead of planner→implement, because the edge-label-vs-
  consumer-side fork needed an empirical probe (ascii-dag silently drops edge
  labels on collision) before a placeholder-free plan was possible. A plan
  RECORD (not a task plan) now holds the 0023 slot so the counter pairing
  stays intact and the next cycle takes 0024.
- [low, carry-on] multi_output_field_name's leaf-producer fallback is latent
  and untested (no multi-output leaf in the corpus). Carried as debt.

Regression scripts: none configured (no-op). Build/test/clippy green.
Deferred stub work is tracked in #49 (user-signed).

# Unify the Blueprint Main-Graph Render — Implementation Record
> **Parent spec:** `docs/specs/0023-unify-blueprint-render.md`
>
> **This is NOT a task-by-task plan.** Cycle 0023 was implemented through an
> exploratory spike→refactor path under direct user steering, not the standard
> `planner → implement` decomposition. This file exists to keep the
> spec/plan counter pairing intact (`naming.counter_dirs: [docs/specs, docs/plans]`)
> and to record *why* the standard plan artefact is absent, so the next cycle
> takes slot 0024 and a future reader does not mistake the gap for a lost file.
**Goal:** one shared render path for the blueprint main graph and the composite
`where:` interior — the blueprint is the root composite.
## Why no task-by-task plan
The spec named the direction but left one detail to "the planner/implementer call
against ascii-dag's actual capability": *where* a multi-output producer's selected
field surfaces. Resolving it needed an **empirical** answer, not a paper decision:
1. The obvious default (an ascii-dag per-edge label) turned out to be unreliable —
ascii-dag 0.9.1's `can_place_label` silently drops a label it cannot place
without collision (verified by throwaway probe against the real macd topology).
The Plain path drops it with no legend; the colored path shifts it to a legend.
2. So the field had to move to the **consumer node label**
(`[histogram → Exposure(scale)]`), which also removed the `render_flat`
signature change entirely (no edge-label slot).
A placeholder-free plan could not be written before that probe, so the work ran as
a spike (validate the notation visually with the user) → refactor (collapse the
duplication into one shared `render_graph` over borrowed slices — `LeafFactory`
is not `Clone`, so an owned root-composite adapter is impossible).
## What shipped (commits)
- `5dd9503` — spec: 0023 unify blueprint main-graph render
- `481172a` — feat(aura-cli): unify blueprint main-graph render through one
shared core (`render_graph`; `ParamNames` {Aliases, Factory}; `Entry` unifying
`Role`/`SourceSpec`; deleted the duplicated `blueprint_leaf_label`)
Production change confined to `crates/aura-cli/src/graph.rs`; goldens re-captured
in `crates/aura-cli/src/main.rs`. No engine change. Build/test/clippy green.
## Deferred / debt (filed, not lost)
- **Issue #49** — top-level blueprint multi-input leaves render without `#`-slot
stubs (`stub_ctx: None`); `fan_in_identifiers`/`signature_of` stays
composite-coupled. User-signed deferral.
- **Latent, untested** — `multi_output_field_name`'s leaf-producer fallback
(`from_field > 0` → index string) is unexercised (no multi-output leaf in the
current corpus); carried as latent code, no anchoring test this cycle.
