Staging branch so Codex can review the latest round without updating upstream Graphify-Labs#3298, whose head is deliberately frozen at 32527ab until the review settles.

Same content as #3, plus two review rounds on top.

79f6666 — three findings from the 23:42 Codex round

  1. Container-side id coercion. 32527ab only fixed the list path. attach_hyperedges, to_json and build_merge pass the graph itself, so "7" in nx.Graph([7]) was still False and a valid group over numeric node ids lost every member.
  2. prefix_graph_for_global rebuilt the coerced relabel map per hyperedge — O(nodes × hyperedges). Measured 1060 _coerce_id calls for 50 nodes and 20 groups.
  3. check_semantic_cache now canonicalizes on read. Gating only writes cannot heal an entry that is merely read, so a pre-gate entry holding only a two-member group replayed as a hit forever.

f229c45 — four findings from the 00:12 round

  1. P1, and caused by the fix in 79f6666. That commit coerced the comparison set but left node_link_data writing the raw node ids, so graph.json came out internally inconsistent — nodes [7, 8, 9], members ['7', '8', '9'], a dangling reference of exactly the shape fix(cache): prune edges/hyperedges referencing never-written node groups Graphify-Labs/graphify#1916 removed, produced by the gate that exists to prevent it. The test for the previous fix only asserted the group survived; it never checked that its members named nodes actually written.

    New build.gate_hyperedges_against_graph(hyperedges, G) compares in the coerced space and returns members in the graph's own id space. to_json and attach_hyperedges both use it, so neither the written file nor the in-memory G.graph can name ids the graph does not use.

  2. to_json raised TypeError before writing anything when a caller left G.graph["hyperedges"] as None — the whole export was lost, not just the hyperedges. A non-list value is now treated as empty.

  3. semantic_cleanup built its surviving-id set raw while members are coerced, so a valid group over numeric node ids lost every member and was dropped before build_from_json could heal the ids. Third site with that same root cause.

  4. A cache test had gone vacuous. Its two-member fixture was dropped by the cardinality gate before the skipped-node prune it exists to test ever ran, so it passed for the wrong reason. Three members now.

cbdb55f — two findings from the 00:32 round

  1. P1 — the same id-space defect, still live in three more writers. f229c45 fixed it only for to_json. The writers that persist node records rather than a graph still coerced the comparison set while writing merged["nodes"] unchanged, so a legacy or externally produced graph with numeric node ids came out holding nodes [7, 8, 9] and members ['7', '8', '9']. Reproduced at the raw --no-cluster writer, at watch's raw writer, and at a third site Codex did not name — _prune_graph_json_sources, whose input is a hand-authored graph.json, the least trusted input in the feature.
  2. P2 — attach_hyperedges rebuilt the graph's id map per candidate. 1060 _coerce_id calls for 50 nodes and 20 groups where linear is 110. merge-graphs is where thousands of groups meet a merged node set. This is the same defect fixed in prefix_graph_for_global in 79f6666 and reintroduced one commit later.

Both came from bridging the two id spaces ad hoc at each site, so there is now exactly one place that does it: _id_map maps a coerced id back to the raw id its container carries, _gate takes that prebuilt map, and gate_hyperedges / gate_hyperedges_against_graph are thin wrappers. Down to 160 calls.

Gate count

The cardinality invariant is enforced at thirteen persistence boundaries, all sharing canonical_hyperedge, and every writer that filters by membership now goes through the single _gate core so members are always returned in the id space they will be written in.

Verification

5306 passed, 56 skipped, and 6 pre-existing environment failures unrelated to this branch (test_ollama*, an exported OPENAI_API_KEY with openai not installed — identical on an untouched worktree). Ruff clean. CodeRabbit CLI: 0 findings across 21 files. Docstring coverage 100% over the 153 touched functions.

Once Codex reports nothing further, this fast-forwards fix/hyperedge-minimum-cardinality, which updates both #3 and upstream Graphify-Labs#3298 in one step. This PR is then closed unmerged.

Treat hyperedges as 3+ member group relationships across semantic cleanup, cache persistence, deduplication, graph construction, incremental pruning, and attachment. Add regression coverage for invalid groups and legacy healing.
The minimum-cardinality gates added in 07330cd read raw producer dicts, so
the invariant they enforce could be both defeated and over-applied:

- cache.save_semantic_cache: both gates now canonicalize a shallow copy via
  _normalize_hyperedge_members before checking. An alias-keyed
  (members/node_ids) three-member group was silently dropped, and a member
  listed twice counted as distinct. The merge_existing union heals legacy
  alias-keyed on-disk entries the same way.
- dedup._remap_hyperedge_members: the new kept-list rewrite turned the
  pre-existing "skip what I can't read" continue into a delete. Entries
  without a canonical nodes list are passed through untouched again, and
  the hardcoded `>= 3` goes through _has_minimum_hyperedge_members.
- build.build: hyperedges are normalized before dedup, for the same reason
  the node alias fold already runs there, so alias-keyed groups are
  actually rewired onto survivors instead of passed through.
- build.build_from_json: member revalidation counts distinct ids. The
  re-key, doc-twin, and norm_to_id remaps all run after the initial dedupe
  and can map two ids onto one, so three positions naming two nodes passed
  as a group.
- build.build_merge: the final revalidation runs whether or not
  prune_sources was given, guarded on the hyperedges key being present so
  to_json's Graphify-Labs#2485 "file already holds hyperedges" diagnostic stays
  reachable.

Behaviour notes: object-shaped members arriving via the skill's
merge-chunks path are now cached as bare ids (as _sanitize_fragment already
does on the extract path); the alias-fold WARNING fires at cache-save time;
and a graph with no hyperedge metadata keeps the key absent on the prune
path too, restoring base-v8 behaviour.

…y dedup return path

Second review round on the cardinality enforcement:

- export.attach_hyperedges: valid_candidate now normalizes a shallow copy
  before reading members. merge-graphs hands persisted hyperedge metadata
  straight to this boundary with no build_from_json in between, so an
  alias-keyed (members/node_ids) group had no `nodes` list and was deleted,
  and object-shaped members were skipped as unhashable.
- dedup.deduplicate_entities: the hyperedge pass (dedupe + minimum
  cardinality) now also runs on the two early returns (single node, empty
  remap), so a direct caller gets the same cleanup whether or not any merge
  happened.

…oundary

Rounds 1-2 fixed the cardinality gates one site at a time and left four
near-identical copies of "canonicalize members, then check". Promote them to
`graphify.build.canonical_hyperedge(he, node_ids=None)`:

- shallow copy, `_normalize_hyperedge_members` (alias fold, member coercion,
  dedupe), reject a non-list `nodes`, optionally filter to `node_ids`, return
  the copy iff it still has MIN_HYPEREDGE_MEMBERS distinct members.
- `node_ids` takes any container of surviving ids — a set or an nx.Graph. The
  guard is `is not None`, never a truthiness test: set() and nx.Graph() are
  both falsy, and skipping the filter for an empty graph would keep a group
  whose every member dangles.
- The non-list guard is load-bearing, not padding. Normalization only assigns
  `nodes` when `nodes` or an alias was already a list, so a string or dict
  value survives to the membership filter, where iterating it yields
  characters or keys and fabricates a well-formed 3-member group out of junk;
  an absent or null value raises instead.

Call sites: cache.save_semantic_cache (both gates, no node set),
export.attach_hyperedges (against G), build_merge's final gate (against G).
build_from_json keeps its own gate — it has the norm_to_id remap and the
per-drop warning the others don't.

Behaviour-neutral for reachable inputs: export.py already copied before its
`surviving == members` branch, members are already hashable post-coercion, and
everything in G.graph["hyperedges"] has been through build_from_json's
normalization, so the alias/object-member deltas cannot arise there.

…very dedup exit

Two gaps the earlier rounds left open.

extract --no-cluster never reaches build_from_json / build_merge / to_json,
whose gates canonicalize members, drop members with no backing node and
enforce the minimum. It dedupes nodes/edges, disambiguates labels and
backfills edge source_file inline for exactly that reason, but wrote
hyperedges verbatim — and merge_raw_extraction carries them through
replace/prune untouched, so deleting a file left a cross-file group naming a
node that was no longer in the graph, sometimes with fewer than three
survivors. Both raw write sites now apply canonical_hyperedge:

- the main raw block, against the final post-dedupe node ids;
- _prune_graph_json_sources (the exclusion-only early exit, which prunes
  graph.json in place and never runs build_merge). It reads the slot with
  `or []` so a legacy {"hyperedges": null} cannot raise, filters None out of
  the surviving-id set (this path keeps id-less nodes, unlike the raw block,
  so a null member could otherwise count towards the minimum), rewrites BOTH
  hyperedge slots so a stale nested copy cannot keep a dropped group looking
  present to the Graphify-Labs#2927 stamp-heal, and prints one line when it rewrites —
  its return value counts nodes, so a hyperedge-only rewrite is otherwise
  completely silent.

deduplicate_entities had three early returns that skipped the hyperedge pass
(single node, empty remap, and the collapse-to-one-unique-node case Codex
found). Rounds 1-2 patched two of them inline. All four returns now go
through one nested _finish(), so the cardinality contract cannot depend on
whether a merge happened.

CodeRabbit's docstring-coverage pre-merge check measures functions whose line
span intersects the diff, and the branch sat at 60.7% against an 80%
threshold. Adds one-line docstrings to the 31 touched functions that lacked
one: 30 test functions and helpers across the hyperedge suites, plus
cli.dispatch_command, which joined the touched set once the --no-cluster gate
edited inside its span.

No behaviour change. PR-scope coverage is now 100% (94 touched functions).

Self-review of the combined diff:

- The --no-cluster hyperedge gate inlined its node-id set comprehension in
  the filter condition, so it was rebuilt for every hyperedge — O(H*N) on a
  large graph. Hoist it to a local. Also filters None ids defensively for
  symmetry with _prune_graph_json_sources, though _dedupe_nodes has already
  dropped id-less nodes by that point.
- sanitize_semantic_fragment's docstring list item 4 picked up an extra
  space of indentation when its wording changed in 07330cd, leaving it
  misaligned against items 1-3.

The dual-slot sync added in 67619fe assumed the nested graph.hyperedges slot
mirrors the top-level one. A node_link_data-only writer emits hyperedges
solely under `graph` with no top-level key at all (Graphify-Labs#2485 — the shape
build_from_json folds onto the top level), so _prune_graph_json_sources read
an empty top-level slot, found nothing to revalidate, and then overwrote the
nested slot with that empty result. A valid three-member group was destroyed
on any exclusion-only incremental run over such a file.

Read whichever slot actually holds the list, preferring the top level. The
isinstance guards also absorb a legacy {"hyperedges": null} the previous
`or []` handled.

Found by a CodeRabbit review of the full PR diff in one pass — the per-commit
reviews could not see it, because the sync and the read were introduced in
the same commit and each looked correct on its own.

to_json took G.graph["hyperedges"] verbatim, so a caller populating that
metadata directly bypassed every gate the rest of this PR added. It is
public API (exported from graphify.__init__), and it is the function that
actually writes graph.json, so a pair, a duplicate-inflated group or a group
with dangling members could still reach both JSON slots. Apply
canonical_hyperedge(..., G) there, with an aggregate warning naming the drop
count. Internal producers all canonicalize upstream, so normal flows drop
nothing.

Also stops to_json mutating the caller's graph. node_link_data hands back
the SAME graph-attrs dict G owns — the by-reference sharing Graphify-Labs#2484 was
diagnosed from — so `data["graph"]["hyperedges"] = ...` was editing the
caller's G in place. That was harmless while it only reordered; once the
list is filtered it would silently delete their hyperedges. Rebind the key
instead, which preserves its position and so the field-order/byte-stability
contract.

test_to_json_sorts_graph_collections_across_insertion_order used two-member
hyperedges; they are now three-member, or the gate would empty both sides
and the test would stop exercising hyperedge sort determinism.

Bare `None` and `""` are hashable, so member coercion kept them — unlike the
equivalent object member `{"id": None}`, which it already dropped. That
asymmetry let them pad the count.

It bites hardest at the semantic cache, which has no node set to filter
members against: a group with two real ids plus a null third passed the
cache gate, so an otherwise hyperedge-only result cleared the
nonempty-result check and the file was stamped as covered. On replay
build_from_json filtered the null out, took the group under the minimum and
dropped it — a cache hit that yields no semantic graph data and never
re-dispatches the file.

Fixed at the root in _coerce_hyperedge_member_refs so every consumer agrees
(build_from_json's normalization, semantic_cleanup, dedup, the cache and
export gates). `ref in (None, "")` is equality, so a numeric id survives: 0
and False are kept, and _coerce_non_string_ids str-coerces real numeric ids
elsewhere.

Also from this review round:
- test_missing_manifest_code_only_preserves_semantic_layer seeds three
  README nodes but asserted only `>= 2`, which no longer matches what the
  committed hyperedge needs. It now names the three ids.
- Docstrings for to_json and two tests the diff pulled into scope.

The null-slot test seeded no stale node, so pruning short-circuited at the
nothing-changed check and returned before the write. It still pinned the
read guard (the member comprehension runs first), but never carried a null
slot through the rewrite or the nested-slot sync. It now prunes a real node,
asserts the return count, and asserts the null slot is healed to [].

Mutation-checked: removing the isinstance guard fails this test with
TypeError and the nested-only test with an emptied set; restoring it passes
both.

"h1 is present" only implies its three members are intact while the minimum
cardinality is 3 — the group would be dropped outright if one went missing.
Assert the membership directly so the test keeps catching a lost member if
that threshold ever changes.

…fest stamping

Two ordering bugs, both from gates running after a step that needed the
canonical shape.

prefix_graph_for_global rewrote members only when `nodes` was already a
list, so merge-graphs left an alias-keyed or object-member group unprefixed
while every node gained its `repo::` prefix. The attach boundary then found
no member backed by a node and discarded the whole group. Reproduced:

    canonical nodes -> ['repo::a','repo::b','repo::c']  attached
    alias members   -> ['a','b','c']                    DROPPED
    object members  -> [{'id':'a'},...]                 DROPPED

It now normalizes before mapping through the relabel table, so every
tolerated member shape is prefixed and survives.

Separately, _stamped_manifest_files counts a hyperedge as output for its
source file (Graphify-Labs#1920), and it ran on the ungated sem_result. A doc whose only
result was an under-cardinality group was therefore stamped as successfully
extracted, contributed nothing to graph.json, and had to wait for the Graphify-Labs#2927
graph heal to be re-queued a run later. sem_result's hyperedges are now
gated on shape and cardinality before both the merge and the stamping, with
a line naming the drop. Membership still belongs to build_from_json and the
raw gate, which is why test_manifest_stamps_hyperedge_only_docs (a 3-member
group whose members do not resolve) keeps its stamp as Graphify-Labs#1920 intends.

_prune_graph_json_sources collects surviving node ids into a set to filter
hyperedge members. A persisted node can carry a malformed list/dict id — the
build path deliberately leaves those for the validator to report rather than
dropping them — and putting one in a set raised TypeError, aborting the whole
incremental --no-cluster prune. Reproduced: TypeError: unhashable type:
'list'. Skip unhashable ids alongside the None filter.

Introduced by this PR: before the hyperedge revalidation there was no id set
to build.

Also drops two accidental duplicate `c` node records from the alias
normalization fixture — padding from 07330cd that contributed no distinct
member, since the fixture's hyperedges only name a, b and c.

…e slot

Two more from review.

A boolean member padded the cardinality count. `False` is hashable and is
not equal to None or "", so it counted as a third member wherever the helper
is called without a node set (the cache and the pre-stamp gate), and was
then dropped on replay against the graph — the same cache-hit-yields-nothing
shape as the null case. The codebase already takes the position that a
boolean is not an id: `_coerce_id` deliberately refuses to str-coerce one
("`True` is not a number the model meant to name a node"), so it can never
match a node id. Rejected alongside None/"". A genuine numeric id still
survives — `_coerce_id` turns 7 into "7" and 0 into "0" — and testing
`isinstance(ref, bool)` keeps 0 and 1 out of that branch despite bool
subclassing int. My earlier note claiming False was safe to keep was wrong;
it conflated booleans with numerics.

The nested hyperedge slot also needed to be part of the change test, not
just the write. The pre-revalidation pruner filtered only the top-level
list, so an upgraded graph.json can hold a stale nested copy of a group the
top level already lost; comparing the top level alone found nothing to do,
returned early, and left that copy for _zero_node_stamped_semantic_sources
to keep counting as coverage (Graphify-Labs#2927). Reproduced with a skewed fixture.

…ct the record

CodeRabbit withdrew its pre-stamp membership finding and suggested a
regression test documenting the accepted recovery. Writing it turned up that
the recovery I had claimed does not happen.

Both CodeRabbit and I had said the residual was a one-run delay covered by
the Graphify-Labs#2927 heal. Measured across two runs, it is not:

  RUN1: llm_calls=1 stamped=True hyperedges=[]
  RUN2: llm_calls=1 stamped=True hyperedges=[]
        "re-queuing 1 manifest-stamped semantic file(s) ... (Graphify-Labs#2927)"
        "semantic cache: 1 hit / 0 miss"

The heal does fire and re-queue the doc. But the group was already cached —
the cache has no node set to reject it with — so the re-queue is served from
cache, the group is dropped again and the doc is re-stamped. The heal
re-fires every run without ever resolving.

It costs no LLM call and puts no bad data in graph.json, so it is noise
rather than breakage, and the decision not to add a raw-id membership gate
still holds (that would re-dispatch docs whose groups do survive, which is
measurably worse). But the justification was wrong and is now corrected in
the PR description. Breaking the loop needs a design change — either
post-build stamping, or the heal invalidating the cache entry it re-queues,
which trades a free loop for a paid one — so it is a follow-up, not a gate.

test_dangling_member_hyperedge_only_doc_stamps_then_re_queues_from_cache
pins the observed behaviour end to end so a future change cannot alter it
silently.

… writer

An object-wrapped boolean bypassed the boolean rejection. The bare and
object branches of _coerce_hyperedge_member_refs each carried their own copy
of the usability rule and drifted twice: first the object branch rejected
{"id": None} while a bare None was kept, then the reverse once booleans were
added to the bare branch only. Measured: {"id": False} was counted as a
third member while {"id": None} was rejected.

Replaced both copies with one _is_usable_member_ref predicate, so the class
of bug cannot recur. Numeric ids still survive (0 and 7 are covered by
tests); the explicit bool test keeps them out of the boolean case.

Separately, watch's raw --no-cluster writer never applied the gate.
_rebuild_code spreads `result` into candidate_graph_data, hyperedges
included, and _reconcile_existing_graph carries an existing group forward on
source eviction and dangling members alone — never cardinality. So
`graphify update --no-cluster` rewrote graph.json preserving a legacy pair
whose members both still existed, unlike the clustered watch path and the
CLI raw path. Added _gated_hyperedges, applied against the deduplicated
candidate node ids, skipping id-less and unhashable ids for the reasons the
CLI prune already documents.

Three legacy fixtures in test_watch.py encoded two-member groups — the same
class 07330cd updated across twelve test files, missed here because nothing
gated this path. Extended to three real members so each test still asserts
what it says it does (Graphify-Labs#1755 preservation, deleted-source pruning) instead of
passing vacuously on a group that is now gated away.

…pes in build_from_json

Three from Copilot's review, all confirmed by measurement.

Numeric and string-equivalent members counted twice. The bare branch of
_coerce_hyperedge_member_refs deduped on the raw Python value while the
build path str-coerces members via _coerce_non_string_ids, so `7` and `"7"`
were two members before replay and one after:

  cache gate            -> ACCEPTED [7, '7', 'b']
  after coercion        -> ['7', '7', 'b']
  gate again            -> DROPPED (2 distinct)

Exactly the empty-cache-hit this gate exists to prevent. The bare branch now
applies _coerce_id, as the object branch always did — the fourth and last
instance of those two branches disagreeing, now that both share
_is_usable_member_ref and the same coercion.

build_from_json only validated a dict with a list-valued `nodes`; every
other shape fell past the member check straight into the kept list, so
G.graph["hyperedges"] could carry metadata this very boundary rejects.
Measured: {"nodes": "a,b,c"}, {"a": 1}-valued nodes, a member-less dict and
a bare string all persisted verbatim. Aliases are folded well before this
point, so a non-list `nodes` here is genuinely malformed; it is now dropped
with a warning rather than handed to the report, wiki, html and watch
consumers that all assume the canonical shape.

Also corrects the to_json docstring I added earlier: it read as though
`force` caused the False return, when force bypasses the shrink guard and
writes, and the non-forced refusal is what returns False.

… overclaim

_remap_hyperedge_members appended every non-str, non-dict entry untouched
and then counted list length, so a direct
deduplicate_entities(..., hyperedges=) caller kept three-POSITION groups
with no usable member in them:

  [None, 7, False]   -> KEPT [None, 7, False]
  [None, None, None] -> KEPT [None, None, None]

That contradicts the cleanup this function is meant to guarantee on every
exit path. Entries are now coerced with _coerce_id and screened by
_is_usable_member_ref before being appended, so a numeric member becomes its
"7" form (and can therefore be remapped and deduped) while None, "",
booleans and unhashables are dropped. The dict branch keeps its bespoke
handling rather than delegating to canonical_hyperedge, which would flatten
object members and lose the extra fields test_object_members_keep_their_
other_fields pins.

Also drops an overclaim from the pre-stamp gate's message. It said the
dropped groups' "source files stay unstamped for the next run", which is
only true when the group was that file's sole output — a file that also
emitted a node, or another valid group, is still stamped. It now states just
what happened: the entries were removed before manifest stamping.

Responds to the upstream health check's coupling finding on
dispatch_command by extracting the inline gate logic, and removes the
duplication that had accumulated across the writers while doing it.

Adds two small primitives to build.py:

- node_id_set(nodes) — the surviving-id set, skipping id-less nodes and
  unhashable ids. Three writers had grown their own copy of this, each with
  its own comment explaining the same two hazards.
- gate_hyperedges(hyperedges, nodes=None) — maps the list through
  canonical_hyperedge and returns (kept, dropped_count). nodes=None means
  shape and cardinality only, for the callers with no node set.

The count is returned rather than logged because the callers word their own
messages: the raw writer, the exclusion-only prune and the pre-stamp gate
each say something different about what a drop means.

cli.dispatch_command's two inline gate blocks become one call each through a
module-level cli._gate_hyperedges seam, which also keeps the graphify.build
import function-local — cli imports only graphify.paths at module scope so
`graphify install` works before networkx is present.

Honest accounting, since the finding was about coupling: this does NOT
meaningfully reduce dispatch_command's fan-out. First-party callees go 70 ->
71 (the previous import aliases were invisible to a first-party counter; a
named helper is not) and all call expressions 219 -> 218. What it does buy
is 14 lines out of the dispatcher, 12 out of _prune_graph_json_sources, 7
out of watch's helper, one implementation of the id-set rule instead of
three, and both gates now unit-testable directly rather than only through
the CLI.

Two real regressions from my own last two commits, both silently discarding
valid groups — the exact failure class this PR exists to prevent.

Member refs are coerced with _coerce_id (07f5f80), so a numeric member
becomes "7". The node-id side was not, so the two were compared in different
spaces:

- node_id_set kept the raw id, making `"7" in {7}` False. Every member of a
  group over numeric node ids was dropped, taking the group with it, in the
  raw --no-cluster writer, the watch writer and the exclusion-only prune.
- prefix_graph_for_global normalized members before mapping them through
  `relabel`, which is keyed by the raw node id. The lookup missed, the member
  stayed unprefixed while its node became `repo::7`, and attach_hyperedges
  then dropped the group for having no member backed by a node — so
  merge-graphs lost groups from any graph carrying numeric ids.

Reproduced both, then fixed by coercing the node side too: node_id_set
applies _coerce_id, and the prefix lookup is keyed in the coerced space.
Numeric node ids are a supported input that Graphify-Labs#2326 heals, so this affects
legacy and external graphs, not only raw output.

…ist the relabel map

Three more from Codex, all confirmed by measurement; the first two are my own
regressions from the previous two commits.

The numeric-id fix in 32527ab only covered the list path. `attach_hyperedges`,
`to_json` and `build_merge` pass the graph itself as the container, so
`"7" in nx.Graph([7])` was still False and a valid group over numeric node
ids lost every member — to_json even wrote [] and warned about it.
canonical_hyperedge now coerces a non-set container once; a set is trusted as
already coerced, and the three graph callers build one with node_id_set so
the walk happens once per call rather than once per hyperedge.

prefix_graph_for_global built the coerced relabel map inside the hyperedge
loop, making prefixing O(nodes x hyperedges). Measured 1060 _coerce_id calls
for 50 nodes and 20 groups; hoisted, and pinned by a test that counts them.

check_semantic_cache now canonicalizes on read. Gating only writes cannot
heal an entry that is merely read: a pre-gate entry whose only output is a
two-member group has a non-empty raw list, so it replayed as a hit, the
downstream gates dropped the pair, and the file was never re-extracted —
every run, forever. An entry with no nodes and no surviving group is now a
miss, so it is re-extracted. Shape and cardinality need no node set;
membership still cannot be judged there and stays with the graph-backed
gates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Hyperedges now use shared canonicalization and require three distinct valid members. Build, deduplication, cache, export, merge, pruning, and watch paths revalidate hyperedges against graph nodes. Tests cover aliases, malformed members, numeric IDs, persistence slots, incremental updates, and raw rebuilds.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 79f66

The PR tightens hyperedge normalization and persistence, but the current implementation can still fail during export, discard valid numeric-ID groups, or drop preserved content during watch reconciliation; rejected legacy cache entries may also cause repeated extraction work. These concrete correctness and availability risks make the PR not merge-ready until the affected code paths and targeted test fixture are corrected.

@codex @coderabbitai please review — this is the staging branch for the latest round.

Do not merge. Upstream Graphify-Labs#3298 is deliberately frozen at 32527ab while this settles; once review is clean, fix/hyperedge-minimum-cardinality fast-forwards to 79f6666 and this PR is closed unmerged.

The delta over #3 is 79f6666, which fixes three findings from the previous round:

  1. Container-side id coercion. 32527ab fixed only the list path via node_id_set. attach_hyperedges, to_json and build_merge pass the graph itself, so "7" in nx.Graph([7]) was still False and a valid group over numeric node ids lost every member — to_json wrote [] and warned while doing it.
  2. prefix_graph_for_global rebuilt the coerced relabel map per hyperedge — O(nodes × hyperedges), measured at 1060 _coerce_id calls for 50 nodes and 20 groups.
  3. check_semantic_cache gates on read. A pre-gate entry holding only a two-member group replayed as a hit forever, because a write-side gate cannot heal an entry that is only ever read.

Marking ready rather than draft specifically so the bots pick it up.

Canonicalize carried members before this membership test.

Line 996 tests raw members against all_ids. A legacy object member such as {"id": "a"} raises TypeError because it is unhashable. The outer handler then abandons reconciliation and drops all preserved content. A numeric member also fails to match its string node ID and drops a valid group. The final gate cannot repair groups that do not reach result.

Normalize or coerce carried members before this check. Alternatively, retain non-evicted hyperedges here and let the final persistence gate validate them against the final node set. Add raw --no-cluster update coverage for object-shaped and numeric carried members.

Four from the staging round on #6, all reproduced first.

P1, and caused by my own previous commit: to_json coerced the comparison set
but node_link_data still wrote the raw node ids, so graph.json came out
internally inconsistent — nodes [7, 8, 9] and members ['7', '8', '9'], a
dangling reference of exactly the shape Graphify-Labs#1916 removed. My earlier test only
asserted the group survived, never that its members named nodes actually
written.

Added build.gate_hyperedges_against_graph(hyperedges, G): compare in the
coerced space, return members in the graph's own ids. to_json and
attach_hyperedges both use it, so neither the written file nor G.graph can
end up referring to ids the graph does not use.

Also:
- to_json raised TypeError before writing anything when a caller left
  G.graph["hyperedges"] as None; a non-list value is now treated as empty.
- semantic_cleanup built surviving_ids raw while members are coerced, so a
  valid group over numeric node ids lost every member and was dropped before
  build_from_json could heal the ids. It uses node_id_set now.
- test_save_semantic_cache_drops_hyperedges_touching_skipped_nodes seeded a
  two-member he_bad, so the cardinality gate dropped it before the
  skipped-node prune it exists to test ever ran. Three members now.

Pushed f229c45 — all four findings from the last round are fixed, each reproduced first.

The P1 was mine: the previous commit coerced the comparison set but left node_link_data writing the raw ids, so graph.json came out with nodes [7, 8, 9] and members ['7', '8', '9'] — a dangling reference of exactly the shape Graphify-Labs#1916 removed, produced by the gate that exists to prevent it. New build.gate_hyperedges_against_graph compares in the coerced space and returns members in the graph's own ids, so neither the written file nor the in-memory graph can name ids the graph does not use.

Also in this commit: to_json no longer raises on a non-list hyperedges value, semantic_cleanup builds its surviving-id set in the coerced space, and a cache test that had gone vacuous (its two-member fixture was dropped by the cardinality gate before the prune it exists to test ever ran) now seeds three members.

Verification: 5303 passed, 56 skipped, 6 pre-existing environment failures unrelated to this branch (test_ollama*, an exported OPENAI_API_KEY with openai not installed — identical on an untouched worktree). Ruff clean. Docstring coverage 100% over the 152 touched functions.

@codex @coderabbitai please take another look. Upstream Graphify-Labs#3298 stays frozen until this branch stops producing findings.

@egarcia74 I found no new defects in commit f229c45.

gate_hyperedges_against_graph() compares IDs in the coerced space and returns IDs from the NetworkX graph. This keeps node_link_data node IDs and hyperedge member IDs consistent.

to_json() now accepts non-list hyperedges metadata without raising. It does not mutate the caller graph while it filters output.

sanitize_semantic_fragment() now uses node_id_set(keep_nodes). This matches the required coerced identifier space for normalized hyperedge members.

The cache test now reaches the skipped-node pruning path with a valid three-member hyperedge.

I reviewed the retrieved semantic-cleanup guidance during this review. I did not merge this staging PR.

Learning: In `graphify/build.py`, `gate_hyperedges_against_graph()` must validate hyperedge member IDs in the coerced identifier space but return the NetworkX graph's original node-ID representation. This prevents `node_link_data` output from containing hyperedge members such as `"7"` when its serialized node ID is `7`.

Two from the 00:32 Codex round on #6, both reproduced first.

P1 — same defect as the last commit fixed in to_json, still live in the three
writers that persist node records rather than a graph. gate_hyperedges coerced
the comparison set but the callers write merged["nodes"] unchanged, so a
legacy or externally produced graph with numeric node ids came out holding
nodes [7, 8, 9] and members ['7', '8', '9']: a dangling reference of the shape
Graphify-Labs#1916 removed, written by the gate that exists to prevent it. Reproduced at
the raw --no-cluster writer, watch's raw writer, and a third site Codex did
not name, _prune_graph_json_sources, whose input is the least trusted in the
feature.

P2 — attach_hyperedges gated one candidate at a time, and each call rebuilt
the graph's coerced id map by walking every node: 1060 _coerce_id calls for 50
nodes and 20 groups where linear is 110. merge-graphs is where thousands of
groups meet a merged node set, so this is the whole cost of the operation.
It is also the same defect I fixed in prefix_graph_for_global last round and
reintroduced here one commit later.

Both come from bridging the two id spaces ad hoc at each site, so there is now
exactly one place that does it. _id_map maps a coerced id back to the raw id
its container carries; _gate takes that prebuilt map, so a caller gating many
groups walks its nodes once. gate_hyperedges (node records) and
gate_hyperedges_against_graph (a graph) are thin wrappers, node_id_set is
set(node_id_map(...)), and build_merge's final gate loses its
node_id_set({"id": n} for n in G) workaround. Indexing the map is direct
rather than .get(m, m): every survivor is one of its keys, and the fallback
could only ever put a coerced id back into a raw space.

attach_hyperedges now gates both lists whole instead of per candidate, which
also drops its valid_candidate closure. Down to 160 calls.

Pushed cbdb55f. Both findings confirmed with measurements before the fix, both replied to on their threads.

The P1 was broader than reported: the same id-space defect was live in a third writer Codex did not name, _prune_graph_json_sources, whose input is a hand-authored graph.json. The P2 is one I introduced — f229c45's new helper rebuilt its id map internally and attach_hyperedges called it per candidate, reintroducing the exact defect 79f6666 fixed in prefix_graph_for_global one commit earlier.

Both had the same root cause: bridging the coerced and raw id spaces ad hoc at each site. There is now one _id_map and one _gate core taking a prebuilt map, with gate_hyperedges and gate_hyperedges_against_graph as thin wrappers over it. Per-candidate gating is gone.

5306 passed, 6 pre-existing env failures, ruff clean, CodeRabbit CLI 0 findings, docstring coverage 100%.

@codex @coderabbitai another pass please. Upstream Graphify-Labs#3298 stays frozen at 32527ab until this branch stops producing findings.

@egarcia74 I found no new defects in commit cbdb55f.

_id_map() and _gate() now centralize the raw-to-coerced ID bridge. The gate validates members in the coerced ID space. It returns IDs from the persisted node container.

to_json(), build_merge(), attach_hyperedges(), _prune_graph_json_sources(), and the watch raw writer use the representation-preserving gate path.

attach_hyperedges() gates each complete list. It does not rebuild the graph ID map for each hyperedge.

The new tests cover numeric raw node IDs, raw graph.json pruning, watch output, and the map-build regression. I also reviewed the retrieved numeric-ID guidance during this review.

I did not merge this staging PR.

Learning: In `graphify/build.py`, persistence-boundary hyperedge gating must use the shared `_id_map()` and `_gate()` flow: validate normalized member IDs in the coerced identifier space, then return the raw node-ID representation from the graph or node-record container. `graphify/export.py` `attach_hyperedges()` must gate complete hyperedge lists rather than individual candidates so it does not rebuild the graph ID map once per hyperedge.

Learning: In `graphify/build.py`, `gate_hyperedges_against_graph()` must validate hyperedge member IDs in the coerced identifier space but return the NetworkX graph's original node-ID representation. This prevents `node_link_data` output from containing hyperedge members such as `"7"` when its serialized node ID is `7`.

Learning: In `graphify/semantic_cleanup.py`, `sanitize_semantic_fragment()` must build its surviving node-ID set with `node_id_set(keep_nodes)`. `_normalize_hyperedge_members()` canonicalizes numeric member IDs to strings, so comparisons must use the same coerced identifier space to preserve valid numeric-ID hyperedges.

Superseded: cbdb55f is now the head of fix/hyperedge-minimum-cardinality, so #3 and upstream Graphify-Labs#3298 both carry everything reviewed here. Codex reported no issues on this commit and all six threads are resolved, so the freeze on Graphify-Labs#3298 is lifted.

Closing unmerged — this branch existed only to hold review rounds off the upstream PR.

Fixes Graphify-Labs#3297.

A hyperedge models a group relationship, so it needs at least three distinct,
resolvable members; a pair belongs in the ordinary edge set. Valid input could
degrade to a pair once unresolved members were pruned, and then persist in the
semantic cache and in graph.json.

Fixing it properly meant settling the SHAPE problem underneath first. Member
alias keys (members/node_ids), object members {"id": "a"}, duplicate ids,
numeric ids equivalent to their string form, and unusable ids (None, "",
booleans) all have to be resolved before a count can mean anything.

canonical_hyperedge is the shared gate: alias fold, member coercion, dedupe,
malformed-shape rejection, cardinality. Membership sits above it in
gate_hyperedges and gate_hyperedges_against_graph, because it needs the id-space
bridge, and one invariant must not have two membership rules.

The audit in the issue found twelve independent writers. Review found a
thirteenth (the git merge-driver) and a fourteenth site applies the gate on the
READ side, so a pre-gate cache entry cannot replay forever.

The id-space rule, which accounts for most of this diff. Member refs are
coerced so they can be compared at all, which means every id set they are
compared against must be coerced too, and whatever survives must be handed
back in the id space the caller is about to persist. Twelve places compared
member refs against node ids and each resolved slightly differently; some
dropped valid groups, some kept invalid ones. There is now one definition:
_member_keys yields the two lookup keys in priority order, _id_map bridges the
spaces, resolve_member_ref returns the raw id for callers writing members back
out, member_in_id_space answers yes/no for callers that only decide.
Duplicate-attribution decisions are made in the exact space before aliases are
added, and a member's own raw form wins over the map's choice, so a member is
never rebound from the node it named to one that merely collides with it.

Pre-existing defects this uncovered, each demonstrated against v8 (33362d9):

- semantic_cleanup filtered members with an exact test, so a ref the graph
  builder heals was removed and the group persisted as a PAIR — issue Graphify-Labs#3297
  itself, reached by a different trigger.
- prefix_graph_for_global left such a ref unprefixed while every node gained
  the repo:: prefix, writing a dangling group after a cross-repo merge.
- watch's reconciliation evicted a group whose members resolve.
- both cache dangling prunes failed to prune a group naming a node
  deliberately never written.
- watch's raw --no-cluster writer, to_json, the raw CLI block and the
  exclusion-only prune had no gate at all.

Defects introduced by this change and found in review, listed because they are
the argument for the structural note below rather than something to hide: the
gate returning coerced members into a raw id space (four writers); the cache's
skipped-node prune breaking once members were coerced; dedup's consolidated
exit coercing members where the old early return had skipped them; the id map
being rebuilt per candidate, O(nodes x hyperedges) on a merged corpus; a second
weaker membership rule left reachable only from tests; a non-dict graph value
raising AttributeError out of the prune; and two collision cases where distinct
ids share a coerced or normalized key.

Structurally: thirteen write boundaries plus one read boundary share a gate,
which is not the same as a single persistence funnel. Two of the fourteen were
found by reviewers rather than by the audit. A funnel is the durable fix and is
larger than this change.

Known shortcomings are documented in the pull request rather than papered over:
a dangling-member group still leaves a doc manifest-stamped and the Graphify-Labs#2927 heal
cannot clear it; membership is deliberately not validated before stamping or
caching, with measurements showing why; and a no-change --no-cluster run exits
before any gate, so a pre-upgrade pair already on disk is not migrated.

Verification: 5,319 passed, 56 skipped. Ruff clean over graphify/ and tests/.
CodeRabbit CLI reports no findings over the full diff. Docstring coverage 100%
across the 190 functions touched. Six local test_ollama failures are
environmental (an exported OPENAI_API_KEY with the openai package absent) and
reproduce identically on an untouched checkout; CI does not set that variable
and passes on 3.10 and 3.12.

Reviewed across many rounds by CodeRabbit, Codex and GitHub Copilot on
#3 and #6.
