# vfs-api-limits

The groupant beside vfs/src/lib.rs in the Mova repository: what the code computes, what it never does, how to go back from its outputs, its invariants, cost and checks.

## Facts

- **kind:** groupant_fragment
- **status:** partial source bound model
- **source:** [`vfs/src/lib.rs`](https://github.com/ElamurAI/mova-free/blob/main/vfs/src/lib.rs)
- **source SHA-256:** `815d266a4f655f39…`
- **covers:** Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. (bytes 2027–3404)
- **part of:** [vfs-api](https://md.groupants.elamur.ai/free/en/mova/vfs/src/lib.rs.groupant/)
- **repository folder:** [`vfs/src/lib.rs.groupant/limits.groupant`](https://github.com/ElamurAI/mova-free/tree/main/vfs/src/lib.rs.groupant/limits.groupant)
- **repository commit:** `855da7bd4a7b`

> **Implementation material.** A Mova code model describes this code at one source revision: partial models, finite checks and their stated scope. It is not a reviewed general exposition, and its labels are shown as written, never raised.

## Obernants

The typed relations around the forward model: the behaviour complement (what the code never does), the reverse reconstruction (every input compatible with an output) and specialised views.

## Model text


### descriptant

#### vfs-api-limits

Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic.

##### Prospective epoch

2026-10-31: source reviewed before edits; prospective review retained under $MOVA_DATA/runs/octopus-wave31-vfs-2026-10-31/prospective.md. Predicted order/cost: O(input bytes), constant fields.

##### Observation epoch

Bounded actual calls and compiled negative controls are recorded in tests.md. Production behavior bytes unchanged; only focused test blocks added. Snapshot constant-time wording is conditional on cwd and destruction; recursive operations may partially commit.

##### Unsupported approximants

No executable percentage surrogate is claimed for these categorical/state/effect observations. Future 1%,2%,5%,10% require a useful metric, explicit domain and exact reference.

### approximant

#### Forward relation

Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic.

Fold comma-separated nonempty assignments over defaults; parse_size trim and checked multiply; dispatch key only after successful number parse.

Domain: bounded inputs with available allocation and nonoverflowing counters unless checked explicitly. The relation is partial and source-derived.

### composition

#### Composition

Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. Shared state and order: Fold comma-separated nonempty assignments over defaults; parse_size trim and checked multiply; dispatch key only after successful number parse.

Scoped children project this same source. Their domains and effects remain conditional; source execution connects these clauses rather than independently proving their wiring. Last duplicate wins; zero allowed; max u64 multiplication checked.

### models

## Typed source models

Source-bound partial relations; no universal finite-test proof.

### behavior_complement

Subject: vfs-api-limits. Domain: Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. Valid allocations, bounded counters, Fault=None unless explicitly named. Observation: one call or the stated finite trace.

Operator: Unknown key cannot be accepted; overflow cannot wrap.

Approximation: source-derived partial relation; complement is an inner excluded-behavior claim under these premises, converse retains compatible antecedents. Evidence: tests.md; unobserved concurrency/resource failures remain unknown.

### reverse_reconstruction

Subject: vfs-api-limits. Domain: Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. Valid allocations, bounded counters, Fault=None unless explicitly named. Observation: one call or the stated finite trace.

Operator: Limits output admits redundant defaults, casing and overwritten earlier assignments.

Approximation: source-derived partial relation; complement is an inner excluded-behavior claim under these premises, converse retains compatible antecedents. Evidence: tests.md; unobserved concurrency/resource failures remain unknown.

### parse_order

Subject: vfs-api-limits. Domain: Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. Valid allocations, bounded counters, Fault=None unless explicitly named. Observation: one call or the stated finite trace.

Operator: Malformed number wins before unknown key error.

Approximation: source-derived partial relation; complement is an inner excluded-behavior claim under these premises, converse retains compatible antecedents. Evidence: tests.md; unobserved concurrency/resource failures remain unknown.

### duplicates

Subject: vfs-api-limits. Domain: Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. Valid allocations, bounded counters, Fault=None unless explicitly named. Observation: one call or the stated finite trace.

Operator: Repeated file assignments choose latest successfully parsed value.

Approximation: source-derived partial relation; complement is an inner excluded-behavior claim under these premises, converse retains compatible antecedents. Evidence: tests.md; unobserved concurrency/resource failures remain unknown.

### units

Subject: vfs-api-limits. Domain: Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. Valid allocations, bounded counters, Fault=None unless explicitly named. Observation: one call or the stated finite trace.

Operator: K/M/G case-insensitive powers1024, no decimal SI.

Approximation: source-derived partial relation; complement is an inner excluded-behavior claim under these premises, converse retains compatible antecedents. Evidence: tests.md; unobserved concurrency/resource failures remain unknown.

### empty_input

Subject: vfs-api-limits. Domain: Limit parsing and binary suffix arithmetic. Valid allocations, bounded counters, Fault=None unless explicitly named. Observation: one call or the stated finite trace.

Operator: Empty comma segments keep defaults; empty size itself fails.

Approximation: source-derived partial relation; complement is an inner excluded-behavior claim under these premises, converse retains compatible antecedents. Evidence: tests.md; unobserved concurrency/resource failures remain unknown.

### tests

#### Checks and limitations

Exact named observations: wave31::parsing_and_trait_composition, limits_parse.

Fresh receipts: $MOVA_DATA/runs/octopus-wave31-vfs-2026-10-31; run.sh retains four profile/repetition sets with raw logs and numeric statuses. native-commands.json and source-test-map.json disambiguate targets. Compiled mutations and exact restoration are separately retained in mutation-summary.json.

These finite observations are not semantic completeness. Source syntax generated twice and compared byte-for-byte. Host effects are limited to owned TMPDIR fixtures. Existing absolute_paths_never_reach_the_host and open_modes are skipped; snapbench main is skipped. Standalone helpers/reexports are only observed through named callers or representation checks; RealFs effect methods unexecuted.

### invariant-and-cost

## Invariant and cost

### Invariant

Last duplicate wins; zero allowed; max u64 multiplication checked.

### Cost

O(input bytes), constant fields.

No timing or numerical error guarantee is inferred from finite tests.
