1// nx_tool_run.nx -- R0 of the EXECUTABLE-API rung: the sovereign exec+capture primitive the ecosystem
2// is missing. Today nishifamily.com/api/tools + /mcp only LIST tools (a read-only registry) and MCP
3// tools/call returns a SAFE STUB ("invoked X (capability-authorized)") -- there is NO way to actually
4// RUN an organ and hand back its real stdout. This organ is that missing capability, built hardware-up
5// from raw syscalls (fork/pipe/dup3/execve/wait4), reusing the EXACT proven wrappers from nx_hostctl's
6// hc_dfork_exec so it inherits the same never-brick discipline. NO /bin/sh, NO shell string, NO PATH
7// search -- callers pass an ABSOLUTE ELF path (the allowlist layer that maps tool-name -> path is R1,
8// nx_tool_registry). Synchronous (wait4), unlike hc_dfork_exec's detach -- because an API tools/call
9// needs the child's OUTPUT and EXIT CODE, not a fire-and-forget daemon.
10// license_tier: ORIGINAL
11// syscalls.nx -- thin __syscall wrappers used across modules.
12//
13// Sovereign path: no libc. Every memory allocation, file op, and
14// clock read in the rest of the runtime routes through one of these
15// helpers. Numbers match Linux RV64; NishiOS uses the same set.
16//
17// Extracted from runtime.nx and ir.nx's copy-pasted helpers so the
18// module-import build doesn't produce duplicate symbols.
19
20// Tier aliases (nx_size / nx_idx / nx_fd / ...) ride along with the
21// syscall shelf: 141 runtime files use `as nx_size` etc. and only
22// compiled historically because the old parser silently void-cast
23// unknown type names (T#nx-int-alias-size-0 closed that hole LOUDLY,
24// which exposed the missing import). nx_tier.nx is pure type
25// aliases (0 funcs); prepass_register_aliases skips duplicates, so
26// modules that also import it directly stay fine.
27// nx_tier.nx -- substrate-wide tier configuration.
28//
29// Single point of edit for scale-agnostic substrate. Per user
30// directive 2026-05-13: "with the i64 it looks hardcoded everywhere
31// if we really want this dynamic dont we want that to be a changeable
32// value everywhere so it can switch to i128 and i256 etc."
33//
34// Per cardinals:
35// - feedback-numeric-tier-ladder.md (N0..N9 swap)
36// - feedback-scale-agnostic-substrate.md (MCU..HPC swap)
37// - feedback-substrate-additive-not-restrictive.md (declare cost)
38//
39// SEMANTIC ALIASES (not all should swap simultaneously):
40//
41// nx_int -- DEFAULT ARITHMETIC integer. Swappable across the
42// numeric tier ladder. Swap this to i128 to make the
43// entire substrate compute in 128-bit integers.
44//
45// nx_size -- MEMORY-SIZE integer. Always platform-pointer-width.
46// Used for buffer sizes, mmap byte counts, struct
47// sizes. Does NOT swap with nx_int -- changing this
48// would break pointer arithmetic. Stays i64 on RV64.
49//
50// nx_idx -- ARRAY-INDEX integer. Same width as nx_size on
51// flat-memory targets. Distinct alias so future
52// GPU/distributed targets can change indexing without
53// touching arithmetic.
54//
55// nx_byte -- The byte type. Stays u8. Distinct alias so MCU
56// targets that emulate u16-byte memory could rebind.
57//
58// HARDWARE-TIER BUFFER SIZES (declare cost, don't restrict):
59//
60// NX_BUF_TINY -- 64 B (MCU-friendly; stack-safe)
61// NX_BUF_SMALL -- 256 B (MCU heap-friendly)
62// NX_BUF_MEDIUM -- 4096 B (page-size; workstation default)
63// NX_BUF_LARGE -- 64 KiB (server-friendly)
64// NX_BUF_HUGE -- 1 MiB (HPC; assumes virtual memory)
65//
66// Use these instead of `sys_mmap(4096)` etc. so the substrate
67// announces its memory footprint and tier-incompatible code can
68// be flagged by audit.
69//
70// HARDWARE TIER (informational; downstream code may branch):
71//
72// NX_TIER_MCU = 0 -- microcontroller, kilobytes RAM
73// NX_TIER_SOVEREIGN_CHIP = 1 -- custom silicon, ~MB RAM
74// NX_TIER_FAMILY_DEVICE = 2 -- phone/router, ~GB RAM
75// NX_TIER_WORKSTATION = 3 -- laptop/desktop, ~10-100 GB RAM

84// Every other substrate module uses the aliases below.

116// AND its immediate refinement (same session): every alias collapsing
117// to i64 is "y2k incestuous" -- relabeling, not genealogy. Real
118// semantic types pick the APPROPRIATE underlying width based on
119// the physics of the values they represent:
120//
121// - Small sealed enums (15 outcomes, 18 probe kinds) -> u8
122// - Display pixel coords (~32M max realistic) -> i32
123// - Q10 / Q14 fixed-point (values * 1024 / 16384) -> i32
124// - 32-bit color packs (RGBA8888) -> u32
125// - Q20 fixed-point (values * 1048576) -> i64
126// - Wide color packs (RGBA16161616, PRESERVE_ALL) -> u64
127// - Timestamps (ns / us / ms / cycles) -> i64 (2038 Y2K38)
128// - 64-bit hash digests -> u64
129// - Cryptographic hashes (SHA-256, SHA-512) -> STRUCT (multi-word; queued)
130// - Virtual addresses on 64-bit ISA -> u64
131//
132// Each type is a child of its PHYSICALLY-APPROPRIATE parent
133// (i8/u8/i32/u32/i64/u64), not blanket-i64. This breaks the

468// ===== SMALL-ALLOCATION BUMP ARENA (2026-08-06, debt 1785516350 / 1786055008) =====================
469// MEASURED FIRST, THEN BUILT. nx_arena_probe: 20,000 x sys_mmap(32) -> VmSize 80,172 kB,
470// VmRSS 80,024 kB. 640 KB of requested data cost 78 MB of RESIDENT memory -- 4096 bytes per 32-byte
471// request, exactly one page and one kernel VMA each. Across the corpus nx_mmapbal deep counts 17,157
472// functions / 43,498 sites that allocate and never return, so this multiplier is the actual shape of
473// the leak: the call sites are not individually wrong so much as individually EXPENSIVE.
474//
475// One VMA per call is also a HARD CORRECTNESS CEILING, not just a memory cost: vm.max_map_count
476// defaults to 65530, after which mmap returns -ENOMEM and callers write through the failed pointer.
477// That is precisely the dmesg-proven nx_hostctl SEGFAULT at 0xfffffffffffffff4 described below.
478//
479// SO: requests <= NXA_SMALL_MAX are bump-allocated out of a 256 KiB chunk (one VMA per ~5,400 small
480// allocations instead of one per allocation). Larger requests take the ORIGINAL path untouched --
481// they are the ones plausibly relying on page alignment, and they are not where the leak lives.
482//
483// THE ZEROING CONTRACT IS LOAD-BEARING AND IS PRESERVED BY NEVER RECYCLING. Callers rely on mmap
484// returning zeroed memory (nx_mmapbal: "mmap zeroes, so an untouched slot reads empty with no init
485// loop"). Bytes handed out here come from a freshly mmapped chunk and are NEVER handed out twice, so
486// every region is zero-filled exactly as before. LIFO give-back on munmap was deliberately REJECTED:
487// it would recover memory but hand back dirty bytes, silently breaking every caller that trusts the
488// zero -- a correctness regression traded for a memory win, which is the wrong trade.
489//
490// KNOWN TRADE-OFF, stated rather than hidden: small allocations are now ADJACENT within a chunk
491// instead of isolated in their own pages. An overrun that today walks off the end of a page and
492// SIGSEGVs loudly may instead corrupt a neighbouring allocation quietly. NXA_GAP puts slack between
493// allocations and NXA_SMALL_MAX is kept deliberately low to bound the exposure, but the risk is real
494// and is the reason this starts at 256 rather than a page.

548// then write over each other. The chunk refill, the ring-canary scan and the nxa_st[2] counter have
549// the same shape. MEASURED while shipping structured concurrency: eight pool workers calling a
550// helper that allocates a 16-byte timespec raced this cursor and produced ARENA-OVERRUN
551// prev_alloc_size=16 followed by SIGSEGV. It generalises to EVERY small allocation from more than
552// one thread, which is why the scoped-spawn child body was written to allocate nothing at all.
553//
554// WHY A LOCK AND NOT A LOCK-FREE BUMP. A fetch-and-add on the cursor fixes only the fast path; two
555// threads can still both observe the chunk exhausted and both refill, and the canary ring and the
556// counter would still race. One lock over the whole mutable region is correct by inspection, which
557// on the allocator that every organ in the estate calls is worth more than a clever fast path.
558// THE COST IS NOT THE DOMINANT COST HERE: this function ALREADY walks all NXA_RING canary slots on

622// sys_statfs and statvfs with corpus_complete=1. nx_res_census records the same absence in its own header.
623// The capability was not missing, it was DARK: nx_system_triage.tr_free_gb has read filesystem space since
624// 2026-06-10, in an _hdl_build organ that is NOT REGISTERED (nx_job_run refuses it as "not an unpinned
625// GREEN tool"), so the one instrument that could have warned was unreachable by any caller.
626// A CAPABILITY THAT EXISTS IN ONE UNREACHABLE ORGAN IS INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM ONE NOBODY BUILT.
627//
628// WHY THE RAW 137 AND NOT A SYS_ CONST. This file's dual-arch blocks are gated on TARGET_X86_64, which is
629// HARD-PINNED UNDEFINED, so the RV64 branch is what compiles and the x86 backend translates each number at
630// emit through x86ctx_rv64_to_x86_64_syscall -- whose default is `return num`. There is NO row for RV64 43
631// (statfs), so a SYS_STATFS=43 const would pass through unmapped to x86_64 43 = ACCEPT: a different
632// syscall, silently, on a path pointer. That is not a hypothesis -- nx_system_triage PROBE-PROVED it on
633// 2026-06-10: "rv64 43 returns -9 through the translation table; 137 raw matches df exactly." So 137 is
634// the MEASURED-CORRECT number for the target we actually emit, and it is named here ONCE instead of
635// sitting as a bare literal at each call site.
636// ⚠NAMED FOLLOW-UP, conflict-checked and deliberately NOT taken here: adding `if num == 43 { return 137 }`
637// to x86ctx_rv64_to_x86_64_syscall would make the arch-correct const work too. Nothing passes 43 as an x86
638// number (43 appears only as a translation TARGET, from RV64 202 accept), so the row is safe -- but it is a
639// COMPILER change that activates only on the next nx_cc self-host rebuild, and the working path needs none.
640//
641// struct statfs (x86_64) as i64 slots: 0 f_type, 1 f_bsize, 2 f_blocks, 3 f_bfree, 4 f_bavail, 5 f_files.

690// FAIL-CLOSED ON A REFUSED MAPPING (2026-08-07). MEASURED: the corpus has 90,817 sys_mmap call sites
691// and SIX of them check the result -- all six in test probes whose response is sys_exit anyway. So
692// 90,811 sites take whatever this returns and write through it. When the kernel refuses, that value is
693// -errno, and the write lands at 0xfffffffffffffff4 (-12, ENOMEM). That is not a hypothetical: dmesg
694// on this host recorded it hourly in nx_web_shard_compact, and 18 times in nx_web_crawl_step.
695// Returning a poisoned pointer to 90,811 unguarded callers is the defect. Dying here is strictly safer
696// than dying there: the process ends either way, but this way there is no memory corruption first and
697// the failure is NAMED instead of arriving as a bare segfault address an operator has to decode.

699// KNOWN COST, stated: nx_mmap_probe / test_munmap deliberately provoke a refusal to observe it. They
700// now exit here with code 12 rather than printing their own verdict. Six probes lose a diagnostic;
701// 90,811 sites stop corrupting memory.
702// ===== TEMPORARY DIAGNOSTIC -- ARENA OVERRUN CANARY (2026-08-07) =====================================
703// ⛔DO NOT BLESS A COMPILER BUILT WITH THIS. The canary writes 0xC7 into the NXA_GAP slack that a
704// caller could otherwise legitimately read as zeros, so it changes observable behaviour for any code
705// that reads past its declared size -- which is precisely the code being hunted.
706// PURPOSE: at NXA_SMALL_MAX=256 the compiler produces 14 SPURIOUS type diagnostics (it reports
707// `arg 2 is an INTEGER but the parameter is a POINTER` against a parameter DECLARED `j: *u8`), i.e.
708// something writes past its allocation and corrupts the parser's type table. At threshold 64 the same
709// requests each get a 4096-byte page whose slack absorbs it. Reading the source found nothing: the
710// two obvious suspects (nx_ir.nx:70 sys_mmap(104), nx_parse.nx:868 sys_mmap(256)) are both correctly
711// sized and bounded. So stop reading and MEASURE: stamp each small allocation's gap, verify the
712// PREVIOUS one on the next call, and print the size of whichever allocation was overrun.
713// Writes to fd 2 without allocating -- it borrows scratch inside the arena state page, because a
714// reporter that called sys_mmap would recurse into the thing it is instrumenting.
715// Dump n bytes at src to fd 2, unprintables as '.', using scratch at state+256 (the ring starts at
716// state+512 and the decimal scratch sits at +64/+128, so this cannot collide with either). n is

1501// WHY IT EXISTS, MEASURED 2026-08-25. wait_exit_code is WEXITSTATUS and is correctly named:
1502// bits 8-15 of the status word. But a child KILLED BY A SIGNAL has no exit status at all, and
1503// those bits are ZERO -- so a SEGFAULTING process is indistinguishable from a clean exit 0 to
1504// every caller that reads only wait_exit_code. Measured live: a gate that SIGSEGV'd mid-run was
1505// served by /api/gate_run as exit_code 0, verdict GREEN. A CRASHED GATE WORE A PASS.
1506//
1507// This is not a new discovery in this estate -- and that is the point. nx_gatekit_lib's
1508// gk_wait_code already carried exactly this rule, with its own measurement recorded (two gates
1509// the 60 s watchdog KILLED journaled `GREEN exit=0 ms=60443`). It was fixed THERE in August and
1510// left unfixed in nx_tool_run, which is the shared exec primitive sitting behind /api/gate_run,
1511// /api/build and 51 other consumers. A LAW APPLIED IN ONE ORGAN AND NOT ITS SIBLING IS HALF A
1512// LAW, AND THE HALF LEFT UNDONE IS THE ONE ON THE PRODUCTION PATH. So the rule now lives HERE,
1513// beside the two accessors it is composed of, and gk_wait_code delegates to it: one ruler.
1514//
1515// Shell convention 128+signal (137 SIGKILL, 139 SIGSEGV) is deliberate: it makes the death both
1516// VISIBLE and NON-ZERO, so every existing caller that branches on rc != 0 sees it with no change.

1925// whole tree (corpus_complete=1), so the mechanism nginx, HAProxy and Envoy all use for hitless
1926// replacement -- MOVING the listening descriptor rather than re-binding it -- could not be written
1927// at all. SO_REUSEPORT co-binding is an ACCEPT-DISTRIBUTION primitive, NOT a handoff primitive:
1928// LWN documents that changing the set of listening sockets on a port drops connections during the
1929// three-way handshake, so co-binding proves two binders and can never prove zero drops.
1930//
1931// EVERY OFFSET BELOW IS MEASURED, NOT RECALLED. They were read out of the platform's own headers
1932// with offsetof/sizeof/CMSG_LEN compiled for x86_64:
1933// msghdr 56 = name 0 | namelen 8 (u32) | iov 16 | iovlen 24 | control 32 | controllen 40 | flags 48 (u32)
1934// iovec 16 = base 0 | len 8
1935// cmsghdr 16 = len 0 (u64) | level 8 (u32) | type 12 (u32), data at 16
1936// CMSG_LEN(4)=20 CMSG_SPACE(4)=24 sendmsg=46 recvmsg=47 socketpair=53
1937// AF_UNIX=1 SOL_SOCKET=1 SCM_RIGHTS=1 MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC=1073741824
1938// A WRONG LAYOUT HERE DOES NOT FAIL LOUD. The syscall still returns a positive byte count and
1939// simply transfers no descriptor, which is why the gate for this proves the property by passing a
1940// REAL descriptor between two REAL processes and then USING it, never by reading a return code.
1941// x86_64 Linux numbers, DELIBERATELY UNGUARDED, and the reason is a measurement rather than a
1942// preference. The first draft of this block wrapped these three in the same
1943// @ifdef TARGET_X86_64 / @ifndef pair every other syscall number in this file uses. On an x86 build
1944// that made every call ENOSYS, and the probe that caught it printed why:
1945// CONSTS SYS_SENDMSG=211 SYS_RECVMSG=212 SYS_SOCKETPAIR=199 SYS_WRITE=64
1946// N sendmsg PLAIN via the CONST rc=-38 (211 is unassigned on x86_64)
1947// N2 sendmsg PLAIN via the LITERAL rc=1
1948// SYS_WRITE reading 64 is the tell and it is NOT MINE: the file's own original guarded block
1949// resolves to its RV64 branch when the constant is referenced, on a build whose sys_write plainly
1950// works. So a constant inside these guards is not reliably the value the guard appears to select.
1951// !! A GUARD THAT SILENTLY SELECTS THE OTHER TARGET'S NUMBER IS WORSE THAN NO GUARD: the call still
1952// compiles, still returns, and dispatches a DIFFERENT SYSCALL. Syscall 199 on x86_64 is
1953// fremovexattr, which is why socketpair appeared to answer EFAULT for every input including a NULL
1954// vector and an unsupported domain -- varying the ARGUMENTS can never reveal that the NUMBER is
1955// wrong, because every variant was equally wrong.
1956// => RV64 support for these three is an OPEN, NAMED requirement, blocked on that toolchain
1957// behaviour. It is left undone and stated rather than papered over with a guard measured not to
1958// work. The estate already keeps nx_syscalls_x86_64.nx as the explicit single-target mirror for

2450// that empty capture to _jobs/job_<id>.out, and its own receipt tells every caller that an EMPTY
2451// ARTIFACT MEANS THE JOB IS STILL RUNNING. So a tool that never started and a tool still working are
2452// THE SAME OBSERVATION, forever: the caller either waits without bound or concludes the work landed.

2458// limit no larger total-argv budget relaxes -- but the SILENCE was ours, and that is what this fixes.

2492// report to be scanned: a diagnostic and a result belong in the same buffer and the caller reads
2493// both. It is exactly WRONG when stdout carries an ARTIFACT. The sovereign compiler writes assembly
2494// to stdout and progress to stderr, so a caller that captures it merged and writes the buffer to a
2495// .s file produces a file with diagnostics glued to the front -- which the assembler then rejects
2496// with an error about the SOURCE, sending the reader at the compiler instead of at the plumbing.
2497// Measured 2026-09-04: that mistake cost a gate five failing teeth and read exactly like a broken
2498// compiler while the compiler was correct.
2499//
2500// THE ESTATE ALREADY HAD THIS AND COULD NOT REACH IT. `sbr_run` inside nx_sov_build_run does fork +
2501// redirect + execve correctly, but it lives inside a PROGRAM, so every other consumer must either
2502// duplicate it or work around it -- the duplicate-ruler defect in its most common form. This is the
2503// same mechanism lifted into the lib both consumers already import, so there is one of it.
2504//
2505// Contract: stdout -> out_path (created/truncated), stderr -> err_path when non-zero, else the
2506// child's stderr is left on the parent's. Returns the child's exit status, or 128+signal if it died
2507// to one -- because a SEGFAULTED tool whose status decodes as 0 is a silent fake success, which is
2508// the defect the shell convention exists to prevent. Negative returns are the same named plumbing

4909// ======================= NISHIOS BACKEND SPEC (the swap-in seam) =======================
4910// When NishiOS's native process API lands, REPLACE the Linux backend above (or @ifdef-branch it once
4911// nx_cc has OS-target guards) with these ~8 functions over NishiOS's DIRECT kernel process table --
4912// superior to procfs: no /proc text-parsing, no USER_HZ, a real syscall query. The interface the LOGIC
4913// layer depends on (and ALL it depends on) is exactly:
4914// osp_list_pids(pids,cap)->count nishi_proc_enumerate (live pids)
4915// osp_ppid(pid)->ppid nishi_proc_parent
4916// osp_starttime_ticks(pid)->ticks nishi_proc_starttime (osp_hz() ticks/sec)
4917// osp_cmd_argv0(pid,out,cap)->len nishi_proc_argv0 (basename of argv0)
4918// osp_hz()->ticks_per_sec native rate (not the Linux-100 assumption)
4919// osp_uptime_s()->secs sys_clock_gettime_mono (already OS-neutral)
4920// osp_selfpid()->pid nishi_getpid
4921// osp_boot_epoch()->epoch nishi_boot_epoch
4922// Interop: NishiOS ships the superior backend; Linux stays supported for the current NAS deploy; the
4923// LOGIC (nx_heal) compiles unchanged on both. THAT is the point of this file.
4924
4925// Direct-child enumeration does not depend on CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE's
4926// optional /proc/<pid>/task/<pid>/children file. The caller owns the output
