Summary

Fixes #4205

Under GUARANTEES.md Row 13 (BUILDABLE), foreign package calls to curated Rust crate flate2 (rust/flate2) must enforce call arity constraints and reject invocations on non-callable types:

  • Non-Callable Package Type: Rejects flate2.writer invocation as non-function with HYB-E1002.
  • Call Arity & Parameter Validation:
    • flate2.new_writer: requires exact 1 argument (level) and validates named parameter level.
    • flate2.write: requires exact 2 arguments (w, data) and validates named parameters w, data.
    • flate2.finish: requires exact 1 argument (w) and validates named parameter w.
  • Positive Controls & Shadowing: Correct calls accept cleanly, and local flate2 bindings preserve user semantics without false positives.
  • Tests: Adds comprehensive regression test battery in compiler/crates/hy-check/tests/flate2_package_call_buildable_soundness.rs.

Settlement Details

Not landed — compile gate FAIL: unresolved merge-conflict markers committed in buildable.rs

Evaluated this cycle (head 7fb240fd, merge-base 1e8673b4). The flate2 validation logic itself (the check_flate2_call_buildable dispatch, per-function arity + named-parameter checks for new_writer/write/finish, the writer non-callable reject) reads sound and the 244-line test fixture is welcome — but the committed blob does not compile, so under the landing protocol this is a hard gate fail.

Evidence (reproduced on the PR head, not on a merge guess)

cargo check -p hy-check on 7fb240fd:

error: unexpected closing delimiter: `}`
error: could not compile `hy-check` (lib) due to 1 previous error

Root cause — two unresolved git conflict markers left in the committed blob:

  • compiler/crates/hy-check/src/buildable.rs line 8164: =======
  • line 8170: >>>>>>> 4ce49a4d (hy-check(buildable): validate call arity and reject non-callable types on foreign rust crate flate2)

The shape shows you developed against a pre-#4093 base, then pulled main (which had landed the fmt scan-family arm) and did not fully resolve the conflict: the opening <<<<<<< is gone, but the ======= separator and >>>>>>> tail survive between the fmt arm's closing } and your if (pkg == "flate2" || pkg == "rust/flate2") { ... } dispatch block. Neither ======= nor >>>>>>> is legal Rust, so the file cannot parse.

Fix (small)

  1. Delete lines 8164 and 8170 (the two marker lines), keeping your flate2 if block in place — it slots in correctly right after the fmt arm, before the generic check_fn_type_arg_arity block.
  2. Line endings: the whole file was committed with CRLF endings (9953 lines LF→CRLF), which turns your +1975-line semantic change into a ±22k-line git diff and will poison blame for every future PR touching this file. Please normalize back to LF (dos2unix / .gitattributes * text=auto eol=lf) — after that your diff shrinks to the real ~2.2k added lines and review is trivial.
  3. Re-push; we will re-run the full four-gate battery on the next cycle.

No silent close — this stays open for your fix. For the record, same failure class as #4097 (string-escape quotes), which landed cleanly after a one-line fix; your path is equally short.

Additional finding while triaging sibling PRs this cycle — heads-up before you fix the markers

Beyond the two fixes in the review above (conflict markers at blob lines 8164/8170 + CRLF normalization), there is a third, deeper issue: neither flate2 nor rust/flate2 is on the M5 curated package allowlist (current allowlist: fmt, os, io, time, sort, strings, strconv, errors, sync, sync/atomic, bufio, net, net/http, net/http/httptest, net/url, encoding/json, encoding/hex, path, path/filepath, rust/serde_json, rust/sha3, rust/regex).

That means once the markers are fixed, import "flate2" (or import "rust/flate2") still rejects at resolve with HYB-E1001 fail-closed — your buildable-phase arm would be unreachable dead code, exactly as happened to #4217 this cycle (positive control failed 5×E1001; evidence posted there). The flate2.writer method-mode machinery referenced in foreign.rs ("flate2.writer" receiver keys) exists for method calls on typed receivers, but the bare package import itself is not allowlisted.

Options: (a) re-target at an allowlisted package (sort/bufio/strconv/url/filepath have open gaps), or (b) propose allowlisting rust/flate2 as a separate spec-change PR (curated surface in foreign.rs + M5 docs + corpus evidence) and build the arity arm on top. Either way the conflict-marker fix and LF normalization are still required first.

…s on foreign rust crate flate2

- Validate call arity on flate2.new_writer (exact 1 arg: level) and enforce named parameter checks
- Validate call arity on flate2.write (exact 2 args: w, data) and enforce named parameter checks
- Validate call arity on flate2.finish (exact 1 arg: w) and enforce named parameter checks
- Reject non-function package type flate2.writer with HYB-E1002
- Add comprehensive regression tests in flate2_package_call_buildable_soundness.rs
