Public-API field test of the random param-sweep surface, from a standalone
downstream-consumer crate (path-deps only; the public interface = ledger +
glossary + spec 0049 + cargo doc rustdoc; no crates/*/src read). Four bins,
each built from HEAD and run: continuous tuning (200-point random tune ranked
by total_pips), the typed validation gate (all five reachable SweepError
variants pre-run), reproducibility + seed-sensitivity + the full i64::MIN..=MAX
sampler edge, and Space-trait interchangeability (one tune_and_rank<S: Space>
over both GridSpace and RandomSpace).
Findings: 0 bugs, 4 working, 2 spec_gap, 1 friction. The four working findings
confirm the cycle's acceptance criterion empirically — the headline tune reads
as the code a researcher would write, the gate is precise and fires before any
run, the C1 reproducibility promise is checkable in one line, and the Space
trait delivers one-consumer/both-enumerations.
Triage of the actionable findings:
- friction (no named-axis builder for RandomSpace — positional Vec<ParamRange>
must align with param_space() by hand, and a same-kind transposition passes
validation silently): filed as a feature for a future cycle, refs #79
(a RandomBinder sibling to the grid's SweepBinder).
- spec_gap (SweepError rustdoc summary named only GridSpace): fixed inline in a
follow-up doc commit.
- spec_gap (NonNumericRange / Bool-slot ranges unreachable with the shipped
aura-std node roster — no node declares a Bool/Timestamp knob): RATIFIED as
intentional. The variant is a forward-looking structural guard for the C16
"author your own node" path (a Bool/Timestamp param-slot a custom node may
declare); its current untriggerability with the standard roster is expected,
not drift.
