Codes/scripts/integrity_audit.py pre-existing truncation (no __main__ block; silently exits 0 with no output) — OPENED 2026-05-27 (Math420 cascade verification side-finding) — MEDIUM priority (infrastructure)
Details
[OPENED 2026-05-27 — discovered during Math420 verification layer execution] Context: Codes/scripts/integrity_audit.py (516 lines, in git since commit 5bf49bc 2026-05-15) is truncated mid-token at the end of main(). The last 5 chars are pri (incomplete print(). Python's ast.parse() happens to accept this because pri parses as a valid name-reference expression statement (NameError only at runtime, not at parse-time). The file is missing the if __name__ == "__main__": sys.exit(main()) invocation block. Net effect: python3 Codes/scripts/integrity_audit.py silently defines main(), calls nothing, and exits 0 with empty stdout/stderr. This means the 8-axis CLAUDE.md §20 infrastructure-theory consistency check has been a NO-OP for 12+ days. The defect predates Math420 by 12 days; Math420 cascade verification only surfaced it.
Closure criteria:
- Read the last-known-good version of
integrity_audit.py from git history (pre-truncation; likely before 5bf49bc), OR
- Re-derive the missing tail: complete the
print("integrity_audit.py — TECT 8-axis consistency check (CLAUDE.md §20)") line; print the per-axis results (result.checks_run, result.passes, result.defects); for each defect emit a TodoWrite-formatted line; return exit-1 if defects > 0 and --warn-only is unset, else exit-0; and add if __name__ == "__main__": sys.exit(main()) invocation block.
- Use atomic_write (CLAUDE.md §11.5.2 absolute prohibition on Edit/Write for tracked files).
- Verify by
python3 -u Codes/scripts/integrity_audit.py and confirming non-empty banner output.
Falsification gate: if the repair takes more than 30 minutes (which would indicate the truncation removed substantial axis-summary logic that needs rebuilding from scratch), escalate to a Math420-AddB infrastructure-rebuild note rather than inline repair.
Owner: next infrastructure-touching session (NOT a theory blocker — theory work proceeds normally; the silent no-op only means
