T
TheRON 70787ea17d stock: records delegates to the descriptor, and the descriptor stops gating
geom.records no longer computes the section, cavity or laminae. It calls mechcomp.stock, so the shape of a piece of stock is defined once. All 123 oracle cases unmoved: 482 passed. stock.py also becomes a leaf module, ending an import cycle with geom that resolved only by accident of ordering.

Three defects in f5651d3 corrected. Provenance raised on an empty source, which made an unattributed dimension unrepresentable and blocked the ordinary use of the tool: type what the caliper reads, print, measure the print, adjust. Provenance now records and travels with the output. Fit refused negative clearance on the argument that interference is not assemblable, which is a design judgement and not the compilers to make. Interference is now computed and reported. CATALOGUE read as a whitelist and is documented as starting points, with a test asserting an entry built from nothing is as valid as one pulled from the dict.

emt_template takes the diameter, fit, designation and note from the caller. There is no standards table and no lookup. A parametric compiler cannot require its subject to be catalogued before it will run.

STOCK.md section 5 amended, since the refusals were implementing it. An entry without provenance no longer fails to ship, it ships labelled unattributed. The principle that a number must not appear from nowhere looking authoritative survives; the door does not.

Tests compare records and stock against a hand transcription of the reference rather than against each other, which would be tautological after delegation. Mutation testing found four gaps before landing: a dropped lamina stacking offset, emt_template silently ignoring its fit argument, describe discarding the note exactly when provenance was unverified, and a guard on float arithmetic that asserted a tautology.

"""
COTS stock: what you buy, and the void it needs in the printed part.
``docs/STOCK.md`` is the specification; this is its first code.
WHAT THIS MODULE IS FOR
The compiler describes commercial off-the-shelf hardware and generates the
printed part that encloses, interfaces with, or augments it. The pallet
strap is not the subject of the library -- it is the first stock entry, and
it is currently inlined into ``geom.records.Geo`` rather than described.
``Geo`` conflates three unrelated things:
width, strap_t, count the stock <- belongs here
clearance the fit <- belongs here
wall_*, min_wall the wall policy <- stays in Geo
This module names the first two. It does not yet change ``Geo``: the point
of this step is to prove the descriptor reproduces the existing geometry
exactly, before anything depends on it. ``tests/test_stock.py`` is that
proof. Nothing in the build path imports this module yet, so the frozen
oracle cannot move.
WHY FIT IS NOT A PROPERTY OF THE STOCK
A strap that slides through a channel, a conduit meant as a press fit, and
a bolt that must clear a hole are three different clearances at the same
nominal size. Fit belongs to the joint. An entry carries a sensible default
and every placement may override it.
WHY NOMINAL IS NOT ACTUAL
Trade size is not outside diameter. Nominal lumber is not actual lumber.
Every entry stores the measured section with a source, and refuses to be
constructed without one -- see ``Provenance``. A plausible wrong dimension
is worse than a missing one, because the missing one stops the build.

Where a dimension came from. Recorded, never required.
An earlier version of this class raised when the source was empty. That

it made the ordinary case -- type the number your caliper shows, print,
measure the print, adjust -- impossible without first satisfying a
bureaucratic check. Parametric means the dimension is an input at every
run, not a fact to be established before the tool will start.
So an unattributed dimension is representable, and says so. What matters
is that the record TRAVELS WITH THE OUTPUT, so a part on the bench can be
traced to the numbers that produced it and a later measurement can
supersede an earlier guess. A quiet guess is the failure; a labelled one
is just an early draft.

An earlier version refused it, arguing the part could not be
assembled. That is a design judgement and it is not the compiler's to
make: a conduit core that must not rattle wants interference, and PLA
deflects. The compiler computes the interference and reports it;
whether it is acceptable, and whether the print survives being pressed
