The oracle had two import names, `tools.oracle` for the tools and
`paperspec` for other repositories, which could load the same code twice
in one process and needed a gate keyed on the module name. It now lives
in the standard src layout under its one name.
- git mv tools/oracle -> src/paperspec; the 22 rule modules are unchanged.
- The tools import `paperspec`. `tools/__init__.py` now holds the Python
3.14 and cryptography/jsonschema check and puts src/ first on sys.path,
so the tools run this checkout's code with or without pixi. The
package's own __init__ checks nothing and exposes __version__.
- pyproject.toml: version from git tags via setuptools-scm
(guess-next-dev, node-and-timestamp, src/paperspec/_version.py,
gitignored). The packages stay listed rather than found because
schemas/, sql/ and vectors/ stay at the root: the spec links to them and
the site serves the schemas at their $id URLs.
- pixi.toml: a `dev` feature and environment with setuptools,
setuptools-scm and python-build, and `pixi run -e dev wheel`.
- check.py scans src/paperspec for rule IDs; README, CONTRIBUTING, the
FAQ, the overview, the vectors and tools READMEs and the changelog point
at the new path. The FAQ no longer says the oracle is not a library.
pixi.lock is not re-solved in this commit: with a dynamic version, pixi
builds the package metadata to lock, which needs the conda environment
installed. Run `pixi lock` and commit the result before pushing; the site
workflow installs with --locked.
pixi run check passes; no computed value, vector, fixture, schema or SQL
file changed.

Features for the next six months (accessible HTML export, paperpack and
Lode on packages, the personal bundle):
- Zipped packages: the oracle writes and reads `.sct.zip` archives under
the rules of spec/12 §12.2; validate.py and load.py accept them; a
byte-identical zip of the tiny package joins the fixtures, and two
broken archives (traversal, symbolic link) join fixtures/invalid.
- The target set of targeted F3 (spec/08 §8.10) is computed by the
oracle and pinned by vectors/targets.jsonl under each digit rule; the
rule now covers cells as well as sentences and the leaves of anchored
containers, and defines a node's section.
- scienting-checklist/1 (provisional): a conformance check of an export,
covered by a receipt as ["checklist", id, hash] (spec/08 §8.11), with a
WCAG 2.1 AA fixture and its receipt.
- QA reports are signed like receipts (spec/08 §8.9).
- A `description` annotation body with role alt or long, so an
accessible export can find a confirmed figure description; the layer
fixture carries one, and the store's body-kind constraint allows it.
- scienting-spot-check/1, the seed payload, is registered with a schema.
- exercise, submission and grade are provisional until a course has
used them.
Audit fixes, each with a vector or a broken package where one was
missing:
- Folder packages: symbolic links are refused on validate and load,
manifest paths must not collide under case folding, listed files are
matched by exact name, files are hashed in chunks under a size limit.
- Files are compared byte for byte, so CR LF, a byte order mark, NaN,
a lone surrogate or invalid UTF-8 is refused instead of translated;
integers beyond 2^53 are read as doubles, as canonical JSON writes them.
- Receipts: signature.key must equal by and the key must be valid when
signed; a qa receipt's nodes must be the sample at the original's
hashes, its scope must name qa.of, its errors must be sampled nodes;
statuses are computed once, iteratively, so chains of spot-checks
hundreds deep settle; Base64 and manifest shape errors become refusals
instead of tracebacks; counts and the fidelity of roster-less packages
are recomputed.
- The gate enforces rule 11 of spec/11 §11.4: changed nodes are
validated against the node schema and the references between nodes
are checked, so a set to a bad value, an insert with unknown
properties or a delete of a referenced header cell is refused; a
relabel to null drops the label; a reclassify drops foreign
attributes; a split strips whitespace across runs; ids.jsonl order
follows spec/04 §4.4 in every state; a move after itself is refused.
- Anchors: the relabel rule requires that nothing else changed below the
node; an alias chain ending in a deletion no longer crashes resolve.
- Notation: a script after an empty group applies to the previous atom
({}^{14}C); letters are defined by Unicode block in spec/05 §5.4 and
the oracle; \left) is complex.
- Page fingerprints delete whitespace before folding, so "10 -20" and
"10-20" fold alike (spec/07 §7.1).
- Grades are summed with exact decimals; the reviewer error bound is
computed with integer arithmetic.
- receipts and revocations are keyed by (doc_key, id) in SQL, since one
revocation may be carried by several packages.
Checking:
- tools/stress.py: seeded randomized property tests over canonical JSON,
normalization, notation, random correction walks, anchor resolution,
Merkle roots, spot-check samples, error bounds, fingerprints, mutated
archives and packages, rights and spot-check chains; CI runs it.
- check.py verifies every count and version the prose states against
the repository, the zipped fixture and crafted archives, the checklist
coverage, and nine more broken packages.
- CONTRIBUTING.md gains a release checklist.
