docs(plan): ship python-kernel-surface — fold into §Graphics and archive - #1907
Conversation
Every ticket of the change is merged: #1773 (named N-binding compute dispatch), #1774 (CPU readback as an always-present capability), #1775 (GLSL source contract), #1776 (batched dispatch), #1777 (graphics and ray-tracing parity), #1778 (cross-process texture import) and #1779 (the device-tensor scope), the last landing as PR #1902 on 2026-08-22. The REMOVED gate is clean — 13 bullets, none referenced and none on disk — so the four bridge traits, their installers, the nine bridge-absent paths, the v1 single-output convention and the three Python refusals are gone from the tree, not merely unused. Six of §Graphics' seven [python-kernel-api] entries are marked SHIPPED with verify markers. The seventh, the Rust bindings-at-dispatch convergence, is out of scope by the change's own sequencing and stays unmarked, so the section stays IN-FLIGHT — now driven by kernel-kind-parity-bar alone. Four facts the implementation established fold into the entries that own them, each an owner-approved consequence rather than a new decision: - The device-write scopes discard on the exception path (owner, 2026-08-07) — one rule for both, because blitting a half-written view back publishes a torn frame that surfaces downstream instead of at the raise. - A write-back is an edit of a frame the processor read; the engine refuses one into a staging no read of that frame landed in, since it cannot tell a consumer's write from uninitialised memory. - Cross-process importability is an allocation flavour the engine derives per acquisition, never a Python dial (approved at #1778's announce gate). - The batch sends one op on leaving the scope rather than holding the privileged gate open across user Python, and carries the two constraints that retire with the Rust convergence — one kernel once per batch, and no surface bound at two kinds in one dispatch. The named-binding error contract joins the kernel-as-object entry: every mismatch raises before any GPU work is submitted, naming the shader's own bindings, checked engine-side so the wheel is never the only guard. No plan text is retired — the REMOVED bullets retire code the plan already describes as deleted. The system diagram's helper→engine edge carries the kernel contract instead of the bare "kernels + texture handles" label. kernel-kind-parity-bar.md is corrected in the same PR, being the file this fold falsifies: its verbatim quote of the parity entry and its paste-ready replacement both carry the SHIPPED clause and markers forward (it narrows the claim, it does not unship it); its fifth-refusal note becomes the record that #1778 discharged it; and its fourteen ARCHITECTURE.md anchors are re-pointed. Those anchors were already stale by +28 lines from #1903's raw-handle entries before this fold moved them again.

Apply the narrowed parity claim in ARCHITECTURE.md.
docs/plan/changes/kernel-kind-parity-bar.md:136-155 changes the claim to “every kernel kind” and names the unsupported vertex/index and storage/uniform gaps. This entry still says “No kernel capability is Rust-only”, so the architecture source of truth still promises Python reachability that this change rejects. Replace this entry before merging.

282-289: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy liftSeparate user-visible binding lifetime from descriptor-set reuse.
Lines 45-49 say bindings are passed per dispatch and never persist on the kernel. This section says the batch restriction exists because bindings still stash on the kernel. If the restriction is caused by engine-internal descriptor-set reuse, state that explicitly and keep user-visible binding values non-persistent. The current wording defines contradictory lifetimes.

The text marks post-dispatch layout publication as best-effort, but also states that a missing publication leaves the service cell at
UNDEFINEDand makes the helper protocol read incorrect state. A successful dispatch can therefore leave a cross-process consumer with stale layout metadata.

…wording Three review findings on the fold, each verified against the tree before acting: - The importability summary dropped two conditions the derivation actually applies (`derive_texture_cross_process_importability`, subprocess_escalate.rs:3990-4017): DMA-BUF needs a single-plane format as well as a probed modifier, and OPAQUE_FD needs the image pool present. As written the plan overstated when an acquisition is importable. The fallback-not-failure rule the function documents is stated too. - The write-back precondition named its subject by pronoun. It now names the refused operation directly. - The diagram label collapsed two distinct things. A kernel output is named by surface id in a downstream bag; the DLPack scope over it is the optional third-party read / write-back, not how every output leaves.
