PR #122 — Sprint 33 server: economics skeleton
Reviewed by: Tyre (Technical Architect)
Focus: Architecture, decision consistency, API design, scalability.
Overall assessment
Structurally sound. The three-layer architecture maps cleanly to D-178. The pipeline separation is correct — econ-sim reads DB and outputs CSV, generate_corporations is build-time, import_economics.py is the ingestion layer. The decisions are generally respected. But there are items that need fixing before merge.
REQUIRED CHANGES
1. HashMap pervasive in econ-sim — partial D-010 violation
model.rs,db.rs,seed.rs, andcurrency.rsusestd::collections::HashMapthroughout for core simulation state:nodes,commodity_states,presences_by_system,chains_by_output,commodity_map,systems,corridor_z,result(productivity map), andshadow.intensity.generate_corporations/main.rsalready usesBTreeMap/BTreeSetcorrectly (after the fix in commit822fe488).D-010 principle 4 mandates
BTreeMapfor determinism. Yes, econ-sim is a standalone binary — but the stability tests (D-179) require reproducible results across runs and across machines.HashMapiteration order is non-deterministic by default in Rust (random seed per process). The--stability-checkmode depends on consistent tick-by-tick iteration order, andstep()iteratesnodes.keys()before cloning, then processes them. If that order differs run-to-run, test results will differ. This is not theoretical: HashMap randomisation is enabled by default in std since Rust 1.36.The fix in
generate_corporations(commit822fe488) addressed this correctly. The same fix needs to land inecon-sim. Convert:NodeState.commodities,init_nodesreturn type,run()parameter types,seed_all_productivityreturn type and internals,ShadowEconomy.intensity, and the stability check'sby_key/equilibriamaps.Exception:
CurrencyState.net_cross_zone_flowis a single f64, not a map — no change needed there.Tier: Required. Determinism is non-negotiable for D-179 test reproducibility.
2. D-179 Test 3 is not a shock test — documentation is misleading
run_shock_test()does not inject a shock. It checks the 1,000-tick run's output for price explosions and negative prices. The doc comment acknowledges this ("Deliberate supply shock injection... is not yet implemented; the warm start acts as the initial disturbance") but the D-179 spec says Test 3 is: "After a single supply shock, cascade propagates realistically; recovery within 200 ticks."The current test3 cannot detect whether a shock recovers within 200 ticks — it can only detect explosions over the full 1,000-tick run. The
--stability-checkflag signals "D-179 Tests 1 and 2" in the module doc comment but the header doc says all 4 tests. These two need to be consistent.Either: (a) rename it accurately in the doc comment (
run_no_explosion_check) and note explicitly that Test 3 is scaffolded/deferred, and remove the claim that--stability-checkcovers D-179 Test 3; or (b) implement Test 3 using the D-180EconEventstub (DemandShock) inline in the stability check binary once D-180 is wired.The function exists and passes (correctly — no explosion is a real check). The issue is claiming D-179 Test 3 is done when it isn't. This will cause confusion at the Phase 2 gate.
Tier: Required. False D-179 compliance claim is a milestone integrity issue.
3. generate_corporations: uncovered_commodities is a warning, not a hard error
The system coverage failure (uncovered systems >100K without a corp) correctly exits with code 1. The commodity coverage failure (commodities below 3-corp minimum) prints a WARNING and continues to write output. Per D-175, the commodity coverage requirement ("3+ corps per major commodity type") is stated as the Phase 2 gate condition, not a nice-to-have. The asymmetric treatment — system failure is hard, commodity failure is soft — is inconsistent with the decision. Either both should be hard errors or the rationale for treating commodity undercoverage as advisory needs to be documented explicitly.
Tier: Required. Either fix the exit-code asymmetry or document the deliberate policy difference.
4. Duplicate
derive_seedwith different constantsseed.rsandcurrency.rseach define a privatederive_seed(run_seed: u64, key: &str) -> u64. The comment incurrency.rssays "mirrored from seed.rs — kept local to avoid coupling." The constants are actually identical (both FNV-1a: init=0xcbf29ce484222325, mult=0x100000001b3 — just written as decimal vs hex). The duplication is technically fine, but the comment "kept local to avoid coupling" sets a worrying precedent. These are both internal to the same binary. Extract to a privateprng.rsmodule withinecon-sim/src/and have both modules import from there. This isn't coupling — they're already in the same crate. The current pattern means a future maintainer might change one without the other, producing different seeds for the same key, silently breaking cross-module reproducibility.Tier: Required. The shadow of a future divergence bug outweighs the coupling concern.
ISSUES (non-blocking but should be addressed)
5. D-188 reference in model.rs does not exist
model.rsline referencing "D-186, D-188" forfusion_fuelutility demand reduction. D-188 indecisions/architecture.mdis thebiome_summary → planet_classrename. It has nothing to do with fusion fuel demand. This is a stale or misassigned decision reference. The correct reference is D-186 (gate energy transmission) and D-187 (fusion fuel as intermediate). Remove the D-188 citation.Tier: Issue. Wrong decision reference in a comment that will be read by future reviewers.
6.
gate_energy_connecteddefaults ON for NULL systems — inconsistent with D-186 intentIn
db.rsload_systems, the query defaultsgate_energy_connectedto 1 viaCOALESCEhardcode in Rust:unwrap_or(1) != 0. This means any system where the column is NULL (not yet migrated or newly added) gets silently treated as on-grid. D-186 says MARK_PRIMARY zones default tofalseand others totrue— but "others" assumes the zone flag is correctly set first. If a system has NULL forcurrency_zone(COALESCE defaults it toTRACTUS_PRIMARY) AND NULL forgate_energy_connected, it gets on-grid by the Rust default. This is consistent but fragile: the fallback reasoning is split across the Python import script (which sets the column) and the Rust loader (which defaults it). A comment linking these two locations would prevent divergence.7.
assign_brandsscope filter is maximally permissive forsector-scoped corpsassign_brands()ingenerate_corporations/main.rs: theSome("sector")branch returnstrueunconditionally with a comment "we don't have enough info to exclude (permissive)." This means every sector-scoped corp is a brand candidate for every location regardless of geographic sector. The result will be sector-scoped corps from the east reach appearing as brands in west reach locations. Since brand assignment is aesthetic (not mechanically load-bearing for the simulation), this is lower priority, but it's a known fidelity gap that should be a ticket if not fixed here.8.
fill_coverage_gapsusesORDER BY RANDOM()— non-deterministicIn
fill_coverage_gaps(), the SQL query for commodity gap filling usesORDER BY RANDOM() LIMIT 1. This is SQLite's built-in random, not seeded from the ChaCha8 RNG. The rest of the generation is fully deterministic fromcli.seed. A repeated run with the same seed on the same DB will produce a different gap-fill if the RANDOM() picks a different location. Fix: removeORDER BY RANDOM()and use a deterministic ordering (ORDER BY body_idorORDER BY population DESC), then select from the result using the ChaCha8 RNG.9. econ-sim has zero unit tests
names.rsingenerate_corporationshas two tests (deterministic_names,names_not_empty). The econ-sim binary has none. The productivity seeder, tâtonnement step, and shadow economy seeder are all pure functions operating on value types — ideal for unit tests. At minimum: a round-trip test thatseed_all_productivitywith the same seed produces the same output twice, and a basic model step test verifying Leontief cascade (zero input → zero output, adequate input → expected output). The--stability-checkmode is the integration test, but without unit coverage the failure mode when model logic changes will be silent until the stability check runs.10.
behavioral_archetypecolumn added but never populated byimport_economics.pyThe
COLUMN_MIGRATIONSlist addscorporations.behavioral_archetype TEXTto the schema. The import pipeline populates the column via thegenerate_corporationsoutput TOML, butimport_economics.pydoes not readgenerated_corporations.toml— there is no step in the pipeline that reads the Tier-3 TOML back into the DB. The econ-sim binary readsbehavioral_archetypefrom the DB at runtime for archetype inference. Ifgenerate_corporationsis run but its output is not imported, all Tier-3 corps will have NULLbehavioral_archetypeand fall through to specialization-text inference. This is functional but the pipeline is incomplete. Eitherimport_economics.pyshould have a step [9/8] that readsgenerated_corporations.tomland UPSERTs intocorp_presence, or the pipeline documentation needs to explicitly state the manual step.CONFIRMED CORRECT — items I checked and found clean

Items 1–4 are required before merge. Items 5–10 can be addressed in follow-up tickets if preferred, but items 8 (RANDOM() non-determinism) and 10 (pipeline gap for behavioral_archetype) are close to required — they affect correctness, not just code quality.
