V3 distances for CLAM: read the row's regions, never the whole row. Two commits, additive only — no existing API touched.

Why

ClamTree::build / build_with_config default to hamming_inline over the whole point. Correct for flat fingerprints; a category error for a V3 SoA row (key(16) | edges(16) | value(480)): the key is an address, and Hamming between addresses clusters on address noise — plausibly, since every number stays well-formed. First measured downstream as a degenerate tree (1 cluster, radius 0) that looked fine and said nothing.

What's in

src/hpc/clam_v3.rs — two region-pure distances plus the reading handle:

  • RailSpec { reg, levels, stride, cont } — the ClassView's reading made portable. ndarray never resolves a classid; the caller derives WHICH bytes carry the rail register from its ClassView/WideFieldMask and passes the handle. Both real carvings are expressible, and the second is not decorative: the interleaved-pair reading was measured and rejected on the medcare bake (fits 44.25 % of paths; the per-axis slab fits 99.62 % in twelve levels).

    carving levels stride constructor
    interleaved (u8:u8) pairs in the facet payload 6 2 v3_facet(RailAxis)
    contiguous per-axis slab, discontiguous continuation 12 1 slab(reg, levels, cont)

    RailAxis::{Lo, Hi} is an enum with explicit discriminants — a third axis cannot be conjured by arithmetic, and the pair stays two separate bytes, never widened (a widened word has no axis; that is why the flat tail is V1-legacy).

  • V3RailGeodesic — tree distance on the walked axis: d = depth(a) + depth(b) − 2·lca, a handful of byte compares; hole rule ([1,0,7] is depth 1, never 2); stacking instead of widening via .stacked(at) for a continuation register (e.g. edge lane), depth to 2×levels.

  • v3_value_hamming — content distance over 32.. only, bare-fn DistanceFn-compatible: plugs into build_with_fn(rows, 512, …) today with zero changes to CLAM.

  • No edge-block distance16..32 needs edge_codec_flavor resolved; refused rather than guessed.

Tests (8/8)

The limits are pinned as named green tests, not footnotes: the triangle inequality over a closed set (the property rho_nn's pruning actually relies on); the pseudometric boundary (distinct nodes past stored depth measure 0 — documented, tested); axis independence (the test a widened u16 could not pass); the medcare slab carving mirrored byte-exact (value 44..56 + continuation 68..80, with the foreign part_of register between them proven invisible); value distance never reads the address.

Downstream

MedCare-rs #478 consumes this (dev-dep probe: the wave through ClamTree over the rail geodesic — 37,669 clusters, discriminating CHAODA census, named outliers). Merge this first; #478 cannot build from a clean clone until this reaches master (medcare consumes branch = "master").

ClamTree::build defaultet auf hamming_inline ueber den GANZEN Punkt.
Fuer flache Fingerprints richtig; fuer eine V3-SoA-Zeile ein
Kategorienfehler: key(16)|edges(16)|value(480) sind drei Regionen mit
drei Bedeutungen, und der Key ist eine ADRESSE. Hamming zwischen
Adressen clustert auf Adress-Rauschen — und sieht plausibel aus, weil
jede Zahl wohlgeformt ist.

Zwei Distanzen, jede liest genau eine Region:

  V3RailGeodesic   Rail-Register    Baum-Geodaete d(a,b)=da+db-2*lca
  v3_value_hamming 32..             Inhalt; DistanceFn-kompatibel

Das Facet-Payload wird als 6x(u8:u8) gelesen — sechs Ebenen, je ein
Achsen-PAAR (X:Y, z.B. part_of:is_a), zwei getrennte Bytes, niemals zu
u16 verbreitert (ein verbreitertes Wort hat keine Achse; genau deshalb
ist der flache Tail V1-legacy). Der erste Entwurf dieser Datei las
3xu16 HEEL/HIP/TWIG — die zurueckgezogene V1-Kaskaden-Lesart; vom
Operator mitten im Schreiben gefangen.

Die LESART gehoert der ClassView, also ist sie hier ein PARAMETER:
RailSpec (Register-Offset, Achse als Enum, optionales gestapeltes
Fortsetzungs-Register z.B. in der Edge-Lane) wird vom Aufrufer aus
seiner ClassView/WideFieldMask abgeleitet. ndarray loest niemals eine
classid auf — es weigert sich nur zu raten. v3_facet() ist der
Zero-Fallback-Default und sagt das dazu. Stapeln statt verbreitern:
stacked() verkettet ein zweites Register, Tiefe 0..=12, gleiche
Loch-Regel.

Grenzen als Tests gepinnt statt als Fussnoten: Dreiecksungleichung
(was CLAMs Pruning wirklich braucht) ueber eine geschlossene Menge;
die Pseudometrik-Grenze (zwei echt verschiedene Knoten jenseits der
gespeicherten Tiefe messen 0) als BENANNTER gruener Test; Lo sieht Hi
nicht (der Test, den ein u16 nicht bestehen koennte); Wert-Distanz
liest die Adresse nie. Keine Distanz ueber den Edge-Block ohne
aufgeloesten edge_codec_flavor — verweigert, nicht geraten.
…egruendet

Der erste Wurf konnte nur interleaved 6x(u8:u8)-Paare (stride 2) lesen.
Die medcare-Bake hat genau diese Paar-Lesart GEMESSEN UND VERWORFEN
(traegt nur 44,25 % der Pfade; der per-Achse-Slab fasst 99,62 % in
zwoelf Ebenen, rails.rs). Ihre aufgeloeste Lesart ist: zusammenhaengender
12-Byte-Slab je Achse, stride 1, diskontinuierliche Fortsetzung.

RailSpec traegt jetzt { reg, levels, stride, cont } und drueckt beide
Carvings aus:

  v3_facet(axis)          6 Ebenen, stride 2   (Facet-Payload, Fallback)
  slab(reg, levels, cont) N Ebenen, stride 1   (per-Achse-Register)

Welches Carving eine Zeile nutzt, ist Eigenschaft ihrer Bake und wird
dort aufgeloest, wo die ClassView lebt — hier bleibt es ein Parameter.
RailAxis bekommt explizite Diskriminanten (Lo=0, Hi=1), damit der
Byte-Versatz die Achse IST statt sie zu kodieren.

Neuer Test spiegelt die medcare-Carving byte-genau (Wert 44..56 +
Fortsetzung 68..80, zeilen-absolut 76..88/100..112) und pinnt, dass das
fremde Register dazwischen (part_of, 56..68) unsichtbar bleibt. 8/8.

Distance behavior validation
src/hpc/clam_v3.rs
Tests holes, axis independence, continuation registers, slab traversal, truncation, triangle inequality, and bounded-depth pseudometric behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to fa253

The PR adds V3 region-based distances for CLAM, but truncated inputs currently return zero in cases where values differ, which can violate the advertised metric contract and produce incorrect tree pruning. The change is not merge-ready until malformed rows are rejected or the distance is made length-aware.

Poem

A rabbit hops through rails of three,
Counts each branch with accuracy.
Values hum from byte thirty-two,
Holes and continuations too.
“The distance paths are clear,” says Bun,
And bounds the work when tests are done.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not report truncated-row handling as a metric distance.

Lines 281-283 return zero when either row ends before the value region. Let a and b be full rows with different values, and let t be a[..16]. Then distance(a, b) > 0, but both distance(a, t) and distance(t, b) are zero. This violates triangle inequality while V3ValueHamming::is_metric() returns true.

Reject malformed rows before this Distance implementation, or define a length-aware distance and add regressions for truncated and unequal-length rows.

P1 Badge Provide a CLAM builder that retains RailSpec

When a caller derives a RailSpec at runtime—particularly for the documented slab carving—this Distance implementation cannot actually be supplied to ClamTree: build_with_fn accepts only a bare fn pointer, ClamTree never consumes the Distance trait, and a function pointer cannot capture this wrapper's spec. Consequently the primary rail-distance feature requires a hand-written static/global adapter and cannot support per-ClassView configuration as described; add a construction/search path that stores the configured distance.

P1 Badge Keep compressed searches within the value slab

When a tree built with v3_value_hamming is later used with compress_database and query_compressed, hamming_to_compressed starts with this value-only center distance but XorDiffEncoding::hamming_from_query adjusts differences at every encoded position, including bytes 0..32. Address or edge changes therefore corrupt the reported distance—and a negative adjustment can wrap to a huge u64—so compressed searches can miss content-identical rows. The compressed adjustment must use the same 32.. region, or this distance must be rejected for that path.

P2 Badge Reject truncated rows instead of making them zero-distance

When either argument ends at or before byte 32, returning zero makes that truncated row distance zero from every full row. For two full rows with different values, this yields d(short, a) = d(short, b) = 0 while d(a, b) > 0, violating the triangle inequality relied on by CLAM; a truncated search query consequently reports every visited row at distance zero. Reject malformed rows or define a distance that preserves the metric property rather than silently returning zero.
