docs(plan): the parity bar is every kernel kind, and the gaps are named - #1897
Conversation
§Graphics promised Python reaches every GPU capability Rust authoring reaches. It reaches every kernel kind. #1777 came to land four loudly-named graphics refusals against a claim that admits none, which is the moment to narrow the claim to what is true rather than let the tree quietly disagree with the plan. The bar becomes every kernel kind — already §Graphics' own vocabulary and GLOSSARY's kind-shaped Kernel — and the four capabilities Python cannot reach are written into the plan by name. They are not symmetric, so they do not land together: vertex and index buffers, and storage- and uniform-buffer bindings, are Python-reach gaps against a Rust capability that exists, and go inside the DECIDED entry where the claim is read; depth attachments and MSAA are unbuilt in every language and go into the trailing OPEN entry, because equalising a construction surface with no pass to render against would buy nothing. Two sentences deliberately do not move. "No kernel capability" appears twice in §Graphics with two meanings, and the second is about the deleted bridge traits and runtime absence rather than language parity; the shipped compute-at-parity claim stays true as written. The ADR that owns the decision is annotated in place rather than replaced: the chosen shape is unchanged and only its scope narrows. Its differentiator claim survives unnarrowed, because being a proxy to Rust-powered GPU work claims a relationship, not a surface area. Owner-approved 2026-08-17, including the ruling that the buffer-binding gap does not block MVP: the data-table case it would block is reopened through a texture by widening #1758, which is already open on the milestone.

Apply the narrowed parity claim to the architecture entry.
Line 187 adds kernel-kind-parity-bar, but Lines 195-198 still state that Python reaches every GPU capability and that no kernel capability is Rust-only. This contradicts the replacement specified in docs/plan/changes/kernel-kind-parity-bar.md:127-141.
Apply the replacement to the DECIDED entry. Keep Lines 212-215 unchanged because they describe runtime capability availability, not language parity.

Include the ADR annotation in this change. docs/decisions/python-kernel-api.md is absent from the diff, and decision 1 still states that Python reaches every GPU capability Rust authoring reaches. Add the supersession annotation described in the plan, or update the plan to match the change.

#1909) The change's one ticket is #1777, merged 2026-08-18 by PR #1896, and it declares no REMOVED bullets, so the gate has nothing to verify. Both obligations the owner ruling created are already discharged: #1758 was widened 2026-08-18 to cover CPU write into an acquired texture, and #1898 is filed post-MVP on Graphics Kernel Buildout for gap 1. The fold was entirely outstanding. The change file records that "the narrowed prose and the ADR annotation ride #1777 / PR #1896"; neither did. PR #1896 touched only the python-kernel-surface change file, and PR #1897 landed this change file plus one header line. So until this commit the plan's own decision source promised Python "reaches every GPU capability Rust authoring reaches" — five days after the owner narrowed it — and the ADR that owns the decision read unannotated. Applied as the change wrote them, paste-ready: - §Graphics' parity entry narrows to every kernel *kind*, with the two gaps a Python processor cannot reach named inside the entry where the claim is read: vertex and index buffers with indexed draws, and storage- and uniform-buffer bindings. Both undesigned. - §Graphics' trailing OPEN entry names gaps 2 and 4 — depth attachments and MSAA — which are unbuilt in every language rather than Python-reach gaps, so they land in OPEN and not in the DECIDED entry. - The ADR's decision 1 is annotated in place, not overwritten, per the docs-policy supersession form. Its differentiator claim survives unnarrowed: being a proxy to Rust-powered GPU work claims a relationship, not a surface area. The two markers the change commissions are CI-runnable and were run: both pass in 0.02s with no GPU. §Graphics stays IN-FLIGHT with no arrow — no live change drives it, and it cannot flip while its last [python-kernel-api] entry, the Rust bindings-at-dispatch convergence, is unbuilt and has no change file. No diagram edit is owed, re-verified rather than assumed: system.mmd's kernel references are neither kind- nor capability-scoped.

Summary
/propose-changeartifact, owner-approved 2026-08-17. §Graphics promises Python reaches everyGPU capability Rust authoring reaches; it reaches every kernel kind. PR #1896 (#1777) lands
four loudly-named graphics refusals against a claim that admits none, so this narrows the claim
and writes the four gaps into the plan as named dispositions.
Two files: the change artifact, and the one-line §Graphics in-flight flip. No code.
What it does
every GPU capabilitytoevery kernel kind. The enumeration and "Python names and drives" survive verbatim — theenumeration is what the ruling narrows to.
storage/uniform-buffer bindings. Both are Python-reach gaps against a Rust capability that
exists, so the absence belongs where the claim is read.
parity gap: no pass in any language renders against a depth attachment, and MSAA is refused for
every caller. The residual asymmetry is stated rather than smoothed — Rust can construct a
depth-testing pipeline Python cannot name.
docs/decisions/python-kernel-api.mddecision 1 in place, dated, per thesupersession form.
:17-19is left standing deliberately: the differentiator claim survivesbecause Python still drives every kind.
Two sentences that must not move
ARCHITECTURE.md:214-215also says "no kernel capability", but about the deleted bridge traits andruntime absence — a find-and-replace narrowing would gut it.
:209-210, the shippedcompute-at-parity claim, stays true. Both are named in the artifact so the fold cannot trip on them.
Owner ruling recorded
The buffer-binding gap does not block MVP on its own terms. Push constants carry a filter's knobs
(128 bytes guaranteed, 256 on NVIDIA) but not a data table — a colour LUT, a film curve — and every
fallback is independently closed today. The ruling: widen #1758, already open on MVP, to cover
CPU write into an acquired texture, reopening the LUT-as-texture route with no buffer work. Gap 3
files no new ticket; gap 1 files post-MVP on
Graphics Kernel Buildout.Notes
REMOVED:bullets, verified not assumed. The gate reports the file declares none andexits 0. A removal bullet here would be harmful: the plan and ADR live in trees the gate excludes
from its content sweep, so it would search a string the gate cannot see and pass green forever.
/derive-ticketsmints nothing for the narrowing — precedentmcp-served-with-the-node,where a subtraction inside ticketed work folded rather than filed. Only the ruling generates
tickets.
importing a foreign DMA-BUF …is an open removal bullet of the in-flight
python-kernel-surfacechange — unfinished work withan owner (feat(engine): cross-process texture import for Python processors #1778), not a permanent gap.
python-kernel-surfaceis live, so this fold marks onlythe two entries it names.
