Core physics test scope

Tests here exercise the implemented nodal pressure, integration and diagnostic contracts. The suite does not establish the ontology or dimensional completeness of TNFR. TESTING.md owns execution instructions.

Balance tests exercise divergence, temporal secants, sector decomposition and operator-to-tracker wiring. The P3 counterexample distinguishes an unweighted sum from degree-weighted cancellation. Role/registry checks verify configured policies; they do not derive energy bounds. Zero capacity suppresses the unforced form row, not every possible evolution channel.

Contract coverage

Intended contract Retained executable owner
Capacity multiplies pressure once; zero capacity suppresses the unforced rate Stable neighbor pressure, particularly test_nodal_integration_applies_capacity_once_and_zero_capacity_freezes
Optional forcing remains a distinct model at zero capacity Nodal forcing scope
Represented nodal updates and retained remainder encoding Nodal remainder kernel
Finite capacity/pressure admission, advancing substep clocks and solver-output failure restoration Integrator numerics
Signed EPI, serialized scalar embeddings and richer-form rejection EPI scalarization, operator EPI domain
Form-chart equivalence and capacity identifiability under a fixed pressure law Nodal foundations, capacity scope
Pressure scalar admission, live public weights and optional model boundaries Pressure read contract, phase path controls, constitutive scope
Circular phase admission and mutation atomicity U3 hard invariant
Structural potential on declared distances and pressure Potential accuracy
Actual nested structure creation and protected failure paths Self-organization atomicity
