What this is

Ruling D189 (2026-09-30, scope: repo, applied-unless-struck; surface standards#787 comment) answered presswerk#118 — "Yes: record machine-filled provenance as metadata in the print path so audit/routing can distinguish it."

That ruling names presswerk's obligation. But "distinguishable" is a property of two sides: blocky-writer writes the document, presswerk reads it, and neither can unilaterally define the marker the other must honour. So the contract lands here, and the two implementations follow it. This PR is the contract; the implementations are filed as the two consumer issues.

New spec — 1-formats/sub-specs/form-fill-provenance/ (FFP v1.0.0, foundation)

Part What it fixes
README.adoc The classification lattice (no-form / blank-form / machine-filled / machine-filled-suspected / filled-unknown / unreadable), precedence, and the honesty rule
spec/MARKER.adoc The declared marker: XMP in the catalog /Metadata, namespace https://hyperpolymath.dev/ns/form-fill-provenance/1.0/, ffp:filledBy. Only machine is defined — human is deliberately not a value, because no producer can evidence it
spec/DETECTION.adoc The algorithm: fillable terminal fields, /FT /Ff /V inheritance, meaningful-value rules, /AP normal-appearance detection, the eight evidence codes, the record shape
spec/PRINT-PATH.adoc Obligations P1–P7 on a print-path consumer: classify at intake, persist with the job and the audit trail, surface it, never silently normalise, and record the blank-print hazard rather than printing it invisibly
spec/conformance/ 14 vectors (incl. negative controls), a reference probe in awk, and a runner. A product detector is tested with FFP_DETECTOR=<command>

Two design choices worth a reviewer's attention:

  1. machine-filled-suspected exists and is distinct from machine-filled. The structural signature (NeedAppearances=true + values + no appearance streams) is exactly what fill_blocks emits today. A print path should not have to choose between calling that "machine-filled" (unproven) and staying silent (useless), so the vocabulary names the strength of the evidence.
  2. blank-form is never promoted. A form with zero meaningful values stays blank regardless of flags, and unreadable is never defaulted to blank-form. Both have vectors (blank-form-need-appearances, unreadable).

Wiring

  • registry row + regenerated .machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml and TOPOLOGY.adoc (34 specs)
  • scorecard with two honest fail rows: M3 (presswerk has no FFP code) and M4 (blocky-writer writes no marker). The four pass rows are grounded with executable checks
  • just ffp-conformance recipe
  • an FFP step in dyadt-verify.yml — same runner, no new action refs, so the actions.lock gate is untouched

Verification (this tree)

just ffp-conformance                                    → 14 passed, 0 failed, 0 orphan
bash scripts/build-registry.sh --check                  → OK (in sync)
bash scripts/build-scorecards.sh --check --strict       → OK (in sync)
  … and all four pass-row `check`s run green by hand (--verify itself needs
    xmllint, which this sandbox lacks)
bash scripts/check-standards-map.sh                     → GATE D PASSED
bash scripts/run-mustfile.sh                            → 16 passed, 0 warning, 0 blocking-fail
check-licence-consistency / check-docs-presence /
check-inline-python / check-canonical-names             → green

Not verified here: this sandbox has no Rust toolchain and no crates.io access, so neither the presswerk patch nor the blocky-writer patch has been compiled. Both are filed as issues carrying the vectors as acceptance criteria.

Reviewer notes

  • The vector PDFs are minimal, uncompressed and ASCII (.gitattributes makes the diff show them as binary; cat shows the structure).
  • probe.awk is explicitly not a PDF parser — its limits are named in spec/conformance/README.adoc, and the spec requires product detectors to use a real library while still passing the suite.
  • machine-filled-suspected is intended to be treat conservatively; whether presswerk should hold such jobs for confirmation is FFP/3 P5 (SHOULD), left to the implementation.

…ath record (D189)

Ruling D189 (2026-09-30, presswerk#118; surface standards#787 comment
5913118060) answered blocky-writer's question — a machine-filled form must be
distinguishable from a hand-completed one in the print path — and scoped the
*recording* to presswerk. The *marker* and the *detection rules* are a
cross-repository contract, and a contract with one signatory is not one, so the
normative text lands here and both implementations follow it.

New spec: 1-formats/sub-specs/form-fill-provenance/ (FFP v1.0.0, foundation)

  README.adoc      classification lattice, precedence, honesty rule. Six
                   classifications: no-form / blank-form / machine-filled /
                   machine-filled-suspected / filled-unknown / unreadable.
  spec/MARKER.adoc declared marker in XMP (catalog /Metadata), namespace
                   .../form-fill-provenance/1.0/, property ffp:filledBy; only
                   `machine` is defined — `human` is deliberately NOT a value,
                   because no producer can evidence it.
  spec/DETECTION.adoc  the algorithm: fillable terminal fields (Tx/Ch/Btn minus
                   pushbuttons, /FT //Ff //V inheritance), meaningful-value
                   rules, /AP normal-appearance detection, evidence codes.
  spec/PRINT-PATH.adoc obligations P1-P7 for a print-path consumer: classify at
                   intake, persist with the job and the audit trail, surface it,
                   never silently normalise, and record the blank-print hazard
                   (values written, appearance streams absent) rather than
                   printing it invisibly.
  spec/conformance/    14 vectors + reference probe (awk) + runner; a product
                   detector is tested with FFP_DETECTOR=<command>.

Wiring: registry row + regenerated REGISTRY.a2ml/TOPOLOGY.adoc, a scorecard with
two honest fail rows (M3 presswerk, M4 blocky-writer — neither implements its
side yet), a `just ffp-conformance` recipe, and an FFP step in dyadt-verify.yml.

Verification (all run here, this tree): just ffp-conformance 14/14; registry-check
in sync (34 specs); build-scorecards.sh --check --strict in sync and all four
pass-row checks green (--verify needs xmllint, absent in this sandbox);
check-standards-map GATE D PASSED; run-mustfile 16 passed; check-licence-consistency,
check-docs-presence, check-inline-python, check-canonical-names all green.

Not verified here: no Rust toolchain and no crates.io access in this sandbox, so
the consumer-side patch (presswerk) and the producer-side patch (blocky-writer)
are filed as issues with the spec as their acceptance criteria, not merged.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a standard for recording and classifying how interactive PDF forms were filled, including form contents, declared provenance and appearance completeness.
    • Added guidance for print workflows on retaining and displaying provenance details and highlighting incomplete appearances.
    • Added 14 conformance examples and a runner for checking compatible detectors.
  • Documentation
    • Added the standard to the specification registry, topology and compliance dashboard.

Walkthrough

This change adds a Form-Fill Provenance specification for interactive PDF AcroForms, covering marker declarations, detection and print-path handling. It also adds a 14-vector conformance suite, integrates the suite with CI and Just, and registers the specification in repository records.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8399b

The registry check will report drift until the registry is regenerated. The normative DETECTION example also contradicts the precedence rules and could mislead implementers. Both are cheap to fix before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8399b

No concrete security regression was established. The standard separates declarations from verified identity and defines preservation and retention controls, but production adoption and failure handling remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The intended downstream exposure includes documents received over network print protocols and their routing, operator displays, job records and audit metadata. The directly inspected executable changes are confined to conformance processing; downstream tenant, service and data-store exposure remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Received PDF and XMP content supplies classification evidence, not authenticated identity. Unrecognized declarations fall back to structural rules; malformed XMP contributes unreadable-XMP evidence without declaring provenance, and undecryptable documents remain unreadable without authorizing decryption attempts.
  • observed — The fixture builders use a fixed local registry and hardcoded document content. Check mode generates into a temporary directory with exit cleanup. Detector command selection comes from the runner environment, not PDF metadata; the inspected workflow uses the default reference probe.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The contract requires missing-appearance hazards to be recorded and visible, and recommends confirmation or review before printing. It also requires provenance records to follow document retention, deletion and export rather than become a separate personal-data store. These are specified controls, not verified production guarantees.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — For production adoption, add lifecycle tests that bind classification to the final submitted bytes after explicit repair and verify job/audit persistence, retries, interruption, concurrent submission and retention cleanup. Define the recovery behavior when either persistent record cannot be written. This would strengthen the specified audit guarantee; no production violation was established here.

Regenerate the registry after staging the FFP files.

The registry records the SHA-256 hash of empty input, but the tracked FFP files produce a different hash. bash scripts/build-registry.sh --check reports the registry as stale and exits with status 1. Stage the FFP files, run just registry, and commit the regenerated .machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml.

Review comment at @.machine_readable/REGISTRY.a2ml at line 291:
Update the source_hash entry in REGISTRY.a2ml so it reflects the tracked FFP
files rather than the SHA-256 hash of empty input; regenerate the registry after
those files are staged.

…seable by real PDF libraries

Three vectors (viewer-filled, filled-with-ap-need-appearances,
machine-filled-declared-generated) and one partially (machine-filled-suspected-
mixed-ap) wrote the widget appearance as

    5 0 obj
    << /Type /Annot /Subtype /Widget ... >> /AP << /N 10 0 R >>
    endobj

Two objects in one indirect object. The reference probe passes them because
dget() matches text without respecting dictionary boundaries, so the suite
looked green — but no conforming PDF parser can see that /AP: lopdf, pdf.js and
the rest parse the first object and stop. A real product detector would report
appearances=incomplete on vectors whose expected line says appearances=generated:
exactly the "MUST still pass this suite" promise in this directory's README,
broken for the detectors the suite exists to test.

- make-fixtures.sh: new field_tx_ap helper puts /AP inside the widget dict; the
  four affected builders use it. `make-fixtures.sh --check` clean afterwards.
- vectors/: the four affected PDFs regenerated byte-for-byte from the generator.
- README.adoc: a "Vector validity" note so the spelling is not lost on the next
  vector edit.

Verification (no Rust toolchain in this environment):
- probe suite: 14 passed, 0 failed, 0 orphan expectation(s)
- an independent transliteration of the presswerk Rust detector over the
  regenerated vectors: 14/14 (before this fix: 11/14, failing exactly the three
  vectors above)
- every indirect object in every vector parsed standalone: one object, no
  trailing tokens
- build-scorecards.sh --check --strict: in sync; check-standards-map.sh: GATE D
  PASSED, entry_count 124

Follow-up in this PR: the three vectors no real PDF parser could pass

While validating the presswerk implementation of FFP/2 (the consumer side, being prepared for hyperpolymath/presswerk#118), a line-by-line transliteration of the Rust detector failed three vectors that the reference probe passes:

  • viewer-filled → detected incomplete, expected generated
  • filled-with-ap-need-appearances → detected machine-filled-suspected, expected filled-unknown
  • machine-filled-declared-generated → detected incomplete, expected generated

Root cause: make-fixtures.sh emitted the widget appearance as a second object after the widget dictionary —

5 0 obj
<< /Type /Annot /Subtype /Widget ... >> /AP << /N 10 0 R >>
endobj

— which is not one object. probe.awk tolerates it because dget() is a text match that ignores dictionary boundaries, so the suite looked green; lopdf/pdf.js/mupdf parse the first object and stop, so /AP is invisible to them. The promise in spec/conformance/README.adoc — "A product detector MUST use a real PDF library. It MUST still pass this suite" — was broken for exactly the detectors the vectors exist to test.

Fixed in 74efd7c (on top of 8399b15): new field_tx_ap helper in make-fixtures.sh writes /AP inside the widget dict; the four affected vectors are regenerated; a "Vector validity" note in the conformance README records the invariant; make-fixtures.sh --check is clean.

Re-verified after the fix:

  • bash run-conformance.sh → 14 passed, 0 failed, 0 orphan expectation(s) (reference probe)
  • the transliterated Rust detector → 14/14 (before: 11/14)
  • every indirect object in every vector parses standalone with no trailing tokens
  • build-scorecards.sh --check --strict in sync; check-standards-map.sh → GATE D PASSED (entry_count 124)

Deliberately not squashed into 8399b15: the vector fix is a change to the oracle, and it should be reviewable on its own.
