- Parse gate in BastField::parse: maxLength on any kind other than
string/bytes is a clean Schema error (records, arrays, inline
structs, refs, union shared fields all covered; the choke point
needs no ref-following since $defs entries are struct/union/enum)
- Meta-schema FieldDef: if kind in {string, bytes} else maxLength
forbidden — the published alk.dev/bast/v1 contract matches the
parser (N2 dual-layer pattern)
- M5's compute-side record maxLength arm became unreachable and was
deleted (offset-indirect arm stays); the two superseded M5
maxLength tests rewritten as the n3_* parse-rejection family
- ADR-006 remedy message tailored per kind: for records both
annotated remedies are dead ends, so the error text points at the
last-position fix only
- Docs aligned: bast-format.md (FieldDef meta-schema + FieldDef/
Variable-Length Encoding prose), layout-engine.md (Strategy 2 +
ADR-006 paragraph), schema-layer.md, ADR-003 §2/§3a amended,
builder .max_length() doc
- Review #006: N3 resolved (all findings now closed), M5 update
note, test-count bookkeeping note (in-session probes vs static
counts), status lines flipped to fully resolved
Verified: 547 tests green + 2 ignored doctests in BOTH release and
default profiles (a stale debug artifact from an earlier session
masked one H3 roundtrip test in debug; clean rebuild passes both),
clippy -D warnings clean, cargo doc --no-deps zero warnings, wasm
build green.
