chore: pin MSRV 1.97.1 and finish SynapticGraph serde tests by rmems · Pull Request #39 · Limen-Neural/synaptic-mesh

rmems · 2026-08-15T01:44:27Z

User description

Closes #35. Closes #18.

Completes the remaining v0.1.0 — API solidify code work. Do not tag v0.1.0 until this is on main (#33).

#35 — MSRV 1.97.1

Single pin, same as axon-encoder / neuromod:

Cargo.toml rust-version = "1.97.1"
rust-toolchain.toml channel = "1.97.1" (clippy + rustfmt)
CI installs dtolnay/rust-toolchain with toolchain: 1.97.1 (pinned SHA)
CI step Verify MSRV pins agree (Cargo.toml / rust-toolchain.toml / ci.yml)
REVIEW.md MSRV pin rule

Local rustup show reports 1.97.1 via rust-toolchain.toml.

#18 — serde finish

PartialEq on SynapticGraph and SynapseDescriptor (no Eq; f32)
synaptic_graph_json_roundtrip in src/topology/graph.rs

Verification

cargo fmt --check
cargo test --locked (66 unit + 2 doctests)
cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings

Grok Build: Grok 4.6 (medium)

Summary by cubic

Pins the MSRV to Rust 1.97.1 across Cargo, rust-toolchain.toml, and CI, and adds PartialEq plus a JSON round-trip serde test for SynapticGraph and SynapseDescriptor. Previously CI used a rolling stable; now CI enforces pin agreement to ensure reproducible builds and validated serialization.

Migration
- Use Rust 1.97.1 locally; rust-toolchain.toml selects it and clippy/rustfmt run on that toolchain.
- To change MSRV, update Cargo.toml rust-version, rust-toolchain.toml channel, and the CI toolchain: for dtolnay/rust-toolchain together; CI fails if they differ.

Written for commit 1df4a35. Summary will update on new commits.

[!NOTE] Low Risk
Toolchain and documentation pins plus stricter deserialization on topology types; no runtime mesh/router logic changes and invalid JSON now fails at parse time instead of later panics.

Overview**
**MSRV 1.97.1 replaces rolling stable in CI with a pinned dtolnay/rust-toolchain action, adds rust-version in Cargo.toml and rust-toolchain.toml, and runs a Verify MSRV pins agree step so Cargo.toml, rust-toolchain.toml, and ci.yml must match. REVIEW.md documents the single-source-of-truth rule.

Serde / API solidify: PartialEq is added on SynapticGraph and SynapseDescriptor. SynapticGraph gets a custom Deserialize that re-checks CSR invariants (row_ptr shape, monotonicity, edge array lengths, target bounds) instead of accepting arbitrary JSON that could panic later. SynapseDescriptor rejects non-finite or negative weights on deserialize.

Tests cover a JSON round-trip for SynapticGraph and failure cases for invalid graph JSON and bad descriptor weights.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Validate deserialized synaptic graphs and weights before use

What Changed

Rejects malformed graph data with invalid row structure, mismatched edge data, or targets outside the neuron range
Rejects negative, infinite, and non-numeric synapse weights during deserialization
Confirms valid graphs survive JSON serialization and restoration without changes
Standardizes local development and CI on Rust 1.97.1, with CI detecting mismatched version settings

Impact

✅ Fewer panics from malformed graph data
✅ Prevented polarity errors from invalid synapse weights
✅ Consistent builds on Rust 1.97.1

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added equality comparisons for synaptic graphs and synapse descriptors.
- Added safe restoration of serialized graphs with structural validation.
- Added validation to reject invalid synapse weights during deserialization.
Reliability
- Standardized the project’s Rust toolchain on version 1.97.1.
- Added checks to keep toolchain versions consistent across project settings and continuous integration.
Documentation
- Documented the minimum supported Rust version and the process for updating it.

Walkthrough

The project pins Rust 1.97.1 in Cargo, the toolchain file, documentation, and CI. CI verifies that these pins match. SynapticGraph and SynapseDescriptor implement PartialEq and validate deserialized data.

Changes

Project consistency and serialization validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
MSRV pinning and CI verification `Cargo.toml`, `rust-toolchain.toml`, `REVIEW.md`, `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, `CHANGELOG.md`	Rust 1.97.1 is declared across project configuration and documentation. CI extracts and compares the configured versions and fails when extraction or comparison fails.
Graph deserialization validation `src/topology/graph.rs`	`SynapticGraph` implements `PartialEq` and validates CSR structure, edge-array lengths, and target bounds during deserialization. JSON round-trip and malformed-input tests cover the behavior.
Synapse weight validation `src/types.rs`	`SynapseDescriptor` implements `PartialEq` and rejects negative or non-finite deserialized weights. Tests cover invalid weights and valid inhibitory weights.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 86f7b

Graph deserialization can panic for an extreme neuron-count input because row-pointer length validation performs unchecked addition. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed and covered by a regression test before merging.

SynapticGraph derived Deserialize accepted arbitrary field values (mismatched row_ptr length, non-monotonic offsets, out-of-range targets) that from_descriptors() would reject, and later panicked in outgoing()/out_degree() on untrusted JSON. Replace it with a custom Deserialize that re-validates the CSR structure. SynapseDescriptor's documented "weight >= 0" invariant (sign comes from polarity) wasn't enforced on deserialize, so a deserialized inhibitory synapse with a negative weight would flip to excitatory via effective_weight(). Reject negative/non-finite weights during deserialization. Addresses CodeAnt-AI review comments on PR #39.

CodeScene flagged SynapticGraph::deserialize as a Complex Method (cyclomatic complexity 9, threshold 9) with a Complex Conditional (4-term OR chain, threshold 2 branches). Extract each CSR invariant check into its own single-purpose function and drive them from RawSynapticGraph::into_graph via `?`, replacing the OR chain with a loop over named (array, length) pairs. Behavior and error semantics are unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FAa99ukPFNohGQkqGp2AMp

validate_row_ptr computed neuron_count + 1 unchecked, so a deserialized graph with neuron_count == usize::MAX panicked on overflow (debug) or silently wrapped (release) instead of being rejected as malformed input. Use checked_add and reject the input if it overflows. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FAa99ukPFNohGQkqGp2AMp

SynapticGraph's Deserialize validated CSR structure but not that weights are finite, unlike SynapseDescriptor::weight in the same change. JSON can't represent NaN/Inf, but a non-JSON serde format (bincode, postcard, cbor) could smuggle one in, poisoning current sums in SynapticMesh::propagate. Reject non-finite weights during deserialization. Addresses cubic review comment on PR #39.
