The library half of the deploy/library split (#46). Practise run for the pattern before st0x.deploy.

What moves out

The deploy half is now in the new rain.factory.deploy repo (created, builds clean, 15/15 offline tests): concrete CloneFactory, LibCloneFactoryDeploy pins, src/generated/<tag>/ snapshots, Deploy.sol + BuildPointers.sol, and all their tests.

What remains here

The ICloneable* interface surface — the abstract API consumers import. It imports nothing, so this PR also drops the now-unused deploy-only deps (@openzeppelin-contracts, rain-extrospection, rain-deploy, rain-sol-codegen), the fs_permissions/rpc_endpoints/etherscan config, and the manual-sol-artifacts deploy workflow. rain.factory stays on rainix-autopublish — it's now a pure library repo, exactly one side of the split.

Verified: forge build clean on the interfaces-only tree; rainix pre-commit clean.

⚠️ Do not merge yet — sequencing

Merging republishes rain-factory (0.1.6) as interfaces-only. Consumers that import the deploy pins (LibCloneFactoryDeploy.CLONE_FACTORY_DEPLOYED_CODEHASH) — S01-Issuer/st0x.deploy at least — must first repoint to rain-factory-deploy. So this merges only after:

  1. feat(ci): rainix-tag-release — tag-triggered deploy-repo release rainix#280 (rainix-tag-release) lands + the Ankr fork-RPC key is restored (rain.factory.deploy's verify gate).
  2. rain.factory.deploy cuts its first release (sol-v0.1.x), publishing the deploy pins.
  3. Deploy-pin consumers migrate to rain-factory-deploy.

Interface-only consumers are unaffected throughout — that's why the library keeps the name. Sequencing tracked in #46.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Breaking Changes

    • Removed the CloneFactory implementation and deterministic clone deployment functionality.
    • Removed published deployment addresses, code hashes, and related deployment utilities.
    • Removed deployment scripts and network-specific deployment verification.
  • Configuration

    • Simplified project configuration to reflect an interface-only scope.
  • Documentation

    • Updated release guidance to clarify that deployment artifacts and pinned snapshots are maintained separately.
  • Tests

    • Removed CloneFactory deployment, cloning, initialization, and compatibility tests.

Sequencing — updated 2026-08-13

The "do not merge yet" ordering above was written on 2026-07-24 on the assumption that publishing rain-factory 0.1.6 as interfaces-only would break deploy-pin consumers. It does not, and this can land first. Soldeer revisions are immutable and this org pins versions inside the import path, so:

  • rain-factory 0.1.0–0.1.5 stay on the registry forever, deploy pins included. Nothing that already resolved them changes.
  • The only external deploy-pin consumer is S01-Issuer/st0x.deploy (two files), and it pins rain-factory = "0.1.1" with rain-factory-0.1.1/src/lib/LibCloneFactoryDeploy.sol import prefixes. It is untouched by a 0.1.6 publish and stays untouched until it deliberately bumps — at which point the missing path is a compile error, never a silent change.
  • rain.factory.deploy itself pins rain-factory = "0.1.5", also unaffected.
  • The other org hit for LibCloneFactoryDeploy is rainlanguage/rainix rainix-static/src/frozen_snapshots.rs, which is not a consumer at all — the string appears in two unit-test fixtures as a path that is deliberately not a snapshot.

The cost of holding this PR is real and compounding: while rain.factory main still carries the deploy half, new deploy work keeps landing in the library repo. #51 is the proof — opened 2026-08-08, it modifies src/concrete/CloneFactory.sol and src/lib/LibCloneFactoryDeploy.sol and adds a whole new frozen src/generated/0_1_6/ snapshot, all in directories this PR deletes. Merging this first stops that accretion.

QA

Discriminating tests: n/a, and that is the point of the diff. This PR deletes code and deletes every test with it; it adds no behaviour. src/ is now six interface files that declare functions, events and constants and implement nothing, so there is no behaviour a test could discriminate. The tests that exercised the deleted concrete moved to rain.factory.deploy with it and run there.

Mutations applied: n/a — same reason. There is no executable line left in this repo to mutate; the interfaces compile to no runtime code.

Oracle — the split plan in #46 (which files are library vs deploy, derived there from the import graph: the interfaces import nothing, the concrete imports the interfaces one-way), the Soldeer registry read directly rather than from prose (rain-factory published revisions: 0.1.0, 0.1.1, 0.1.2, 0.1.3, 0.1.5 — 0.1.6 is the unpublished next slot), and the consuming repos' own foundry.toml and import lines. All independent of this diff.

What was actually checked, and how:

  • forge build clean on the interfaces-only tree (6 files, solc 0.8.25) — the cut is real: nothing left behind imports anything that left.
  • reuse lint 22/22 files compliant.
  • forge fmt --check clean.
  • Consumer safety checked against live state, not assumption: org-wide code search for LibCloneFactoryDeploy returns rain.factory itself, S01-Issuer/st0x.deploy (2 files) and the rainix test fixture; st0x.deploy's foundry.toml pins rain-factory = "0.1.1" and its imports carry the rain-factory-0.1.1/ prefix.
  • rain.factory.deploy builds against rain-factory = "0.1.5" from the registry, which is how we know the interface half publishes and consumes cleanly on its own.

Category check. #46 asks for exactly one thing here: leave the ICloneable* interface surface and move everything else out. Covered — concrete, pins, snapshots, both scripts and all four test files are gone; the four deploy-only Soldeer deps, the fs_permissions/rpc_endpoints/etherscan config and the manual-sol-artifacts workflow are gone; package-release.yaml stays on rainix-autopublish. The follow-up commits also close the two gaps the vetter named on 58a938e: soldeer.lock regenerated with forge soldeer update (now forge-std only), slither.config.json filter path pruned, and README/CLAUDE.md rewritten to stop documenting the deploy half.

Known limitation, stated rather than hidden: forge-std is now the only declared dependency and, with test/ removed, nothing imports it. It is kept deliberately (the review thread asked for it), but foundry.toml's comment calling it "the test harness" is aspirational. Whether an interfaces-only repo should declare it at all is a separate call.

Move the deploy half — concrete CloneFactory, LibCloneFactoryDeploy pins,
src/generated snapshots, deploy scripts, and their tests — to the new
rain.factory.deploy repo. What remains is the ICloneable* interface surface,
which imports nothing, so the deploy-only deps (openzeppelin, rain-extrospection,
rain-deploy, rain-sol-codegen), the fs_permissions/rpc/etherscan config, and the
manual-sol-artifacts deploy workflow all go too. Stays on autopublish.

DO NOT MERGE until rain.factory.deploy has published its first release and the
deploy-pin consumers (st0x.deploy) have repointed — else bumping to this version
drops the pins consumers still import from here.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The repository removes the CloneFactory implementation, deployment scripts, generated deployment library, related workflows, snapshots, and tests. Foundry configuration and release workflow comments now describe an interface-only repository with deployment artifacts maintained externally.

Changes

Interface-only repository scope

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove CloneFactory implementation and deployment artifacts
src/concrete/CloneFactory.sol, src/lib/LibCloneFactoryDeploy.sol, script/*
Deletes deterministic clone deployment, address prediction, deployment scripts, code-hash constants, and generated deployment aliases.
Remove CloneFactory validation coverage
test/src/concrete/*, test/src/lib/*, .gas-snapshot
Deletes clone behavior tests, deployment verification tests, tagged deployment tests, test implementations, and related gas snapshots.
Interface-only Foundry configuration
foundry.toml
Retains the dependency path and forge-std, documents the interface-only scope, and removes deployment, RPC, filesystem, and Etherscan settings.
Release workflow scope
.github/workflows/manual-sol-artifacts.yaml, .github/workflows/package-release.yaml
Deletes the manual deployment workflow and updates release comments to identify the ICloneable surface and external deployment artifacts.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 18ea0

The split removes deploy-only dependencies, but repository dependency metadata still appears to reference them. Merge should wait until that metadata is cleaned up so builds and analysis use the intended interfaces-only dependency set.

…pr_context fits itself to it (#81)

#79 made an over-budget tool result a typed error so the caller could not
improvise around it. For `pr_context` that guard never spoke. Its budget was
`max_diff_bytes + MCP_MAX_RESULT_BYTES` — up to 332,000 bytes against a harness
that stops at ~50,000 — so what reached the model was the HARNESS's replacement,
untyped and with `is_error` UNSET, which is precisely the silent degradation #79
existed to remove.

Ordering is the mechanism, not a preference: if the harness speaks first, every
rule downstream about "a tool error is an instruction, re-call narrower" stops
applying at the moment it is needed.

THE CEILING, MEASURED. Not derived by halving a refused payload — that is how
32,000 was set, and how this gap survived #79. Probed against Claude Code
2.1.220 by calling `pr_context` through the real harness at increasing
`max_diff_bytes` and reading the `tool_result` the model actually received.
There are TWO independent gates and BOTH arrive with `is_error` unset:

- a BYTE gate -> `<persisted-output> Output too large (NN KB)` plus a 2 KB
  preview. Delivered at 50,011 bytes, replaced at 50,176. NOT governed by
  `MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS` (forcing it to 200,000 still replaced a 50,486-byte
  result). This one is the more dangerous: the preview it substitutes looks like
  the head of a real answer.
- a TOKEN gate -> `Error: result (N characters ...) exceeds maximum allowed
  tokens`, governed by that variable (forcing it to 100 replaced a 4.5 KB
  result). This is the gate the live traces hit, at 63,742 and 56,789 chars.

Isolating the token gate at `MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS=10000` puts its boundary
between 27,152 and 30,163 bytes, so this JSON measures 2.7-3.0 chars/token;
nothing on the box sets the variable and 56,789 chars tripped it live, which
puts the default near 19-21k tokens. Both gates land around 50 kB here.

THE FIX.

- `MCP_MAX_RESULT_BYTES` is 36,000, ~28% under both gates. The margin is not
  timidity: the token gate scales with CONTENT, and a diff of generated hex —
  which this org has in every `src/generated/*.pointers.sol` — tokenises far
  worse than the prose-and-code JSON the gate was measured on. At 36,000 even a
  payload at 1.5 chars/token stays inside a 19k-token cap.
- ONE budget for every tool. `pr_context`'s special case is gone, and
  `max_diff_bytes` can no longer be raised past the budget, so no argument buys
  a call more room than any other call gets.
- That is also what makes NARROWING CONVERGE. While the budget scaled with
  `max_diff_bytes` and the diff was truncated to `max_diff_bytes`, lowering the
  argument lowered allowance and payload equally — "re-call NARROWER" was a loop
  with no exit. Against a fixed allowance a smaller argument is a strictly
  smaller result, pinned by a monotonicity test.
- `pr_context` does not wait to be refused: `fit_pr_context` shrinks the diff
  until the document lands under the budget. It terminates — each round removes
  at least the overflow from the cap, and one raw byte of diff is at least one
  byte of document, so it overshoots rather than undershoots. The document
  reports `diffBytes`, the new `diffIncluded`, and `diffTruncated`, so the gap
  between what exists and what was handed over is visible rather than inferred.
  The one case no argument can fix — metadata alone over the budget — is a typed
  error that says exactly that.

The budget/ceiling relationship is a COMPILE-TIME assertion beside the
constants, so raising the budget past the measured gate fails the build rather
than quietly reinstating the defect. Four of the ten mutations for this change
are killed that way; the rest by named tests.

Verified live, same PR (rainlanguage/rain.factory#47), same harness:

  BEFORE (main @7df5496), default argument:
    received: HARNESS byte-gate (untyped)   is_error=None   chars=2248
  AFTER, default argument:
    received: DELIVERED in full             is_error=None   chars=36631
  AFTER, max_diff_bytes=300000:
    received: OUR typed refusal             is_error=True   chars=46
    "max_diff_bytes must be an integer in 1..=36000"
    ...and the model then re-called within range and got the full result.

No part of the existing #81 work is weakened: the pull-ref checkout, the binary
postcondition, the sweep changes and the prompt rules are untouched.

Comment thread foundry.toml
Addresses the unresolved CodeRabbit thread on foundry.toml:29 (Major). The
finding held on inspection at 18ea08e: [dependencies] declares only forge-std
while soldeer.lock still resolved five packages and slither.config.json still
filtered a dependency dir that would no longer be installed.

- soldeer.lock regenerated with 'forge soldeer update', not 'install' -- install
  resolves FROM the lock and would have kept all five. update re-resolves from
  foundry.toml. The lock now holds forge-std and nothing else;
  @OpenZeppelin-Contracts, rain-deploy, rain-extrospection and rain-sol-codegen
  are gone. (remappings.txt is regenerated too but is gitignored here.)
- slither.config.json filter_paths drops
  dependencies/@openzeppelin-contracts-5.6.1, keeps forge-std-1.16.1.

Same class of drift found elsewhere and fixed:

- CLAUDE.md described the deploy half as if it were still here: src/concrete/
  CloneFactory.sol, src/lib/LibCloneFactoryDeploy.sol, src/generated/<tag>/,
  script/Deploy.sol, a --match-path at a deleted test file, a 'concrete contracts
  pin =0.8.25' rule with no concrete contracts left, fork tests that no longer
  exist, and the same four removed deps listed by name. Rewritten to describe a
  library repo, with the dependency line stated as a rule -- a new entry here
  means concrete code has landed in a library repo -- rather than a list that
  goes stale again. Added the autopublish release model, which was undocumented.
- REUSE.toml annotated .gas-snapshot, which this PR deletes.

Verified in rainix 53e96a7d sol-shell: forge build clean (6 files), reuse lint
22/22 compliant, forge fmt --check clean.
Second of the two slimming gaps the vetter named on 58a938e (the first,
soldeer.lock / slither.config.json / CLAUDE.md, is a05d52f).

README's 'Concrete implementations' section still presented CloneFactory as a
thing in this repo. Rewritten to point at rain.factory.deploy, with the
depend-on-which-package rule stated explicitly, plus a one-line statement at the
top that this is the library half of #46.

Also corrected the 'current interfaces in this repository' list, which omitted
ICloneableFactoryV3 entirely -- it has been the current factory interface since
2026-07-11 and this repo is now nothing but interfaces, so that list is the
README's main job.

Reviewed 2bf2615: APPROVE — slims rain.factory to the interface library per #46 step 4. Removes the concrete CloneFactory, LibCloneFactoryDeploy, the three frozen src/generated/0_1_3|0_1_4|0_1_5 snapshots, script/Deploy.sol + BuildPointers.sol, manual-sol-artifacts.yaml, the six deploy/concrete test files, and the now-meaningless .gas-snapshot. soldeer.lock regenerated via forge soldeer update to forge-std 1.16.1 alone; slither.config.json openzeppelin filter dropped; CLAUDE.md and README rewritten so neither still documents the departed deploy half. REUSE.toml and foundry.toml intact, legal green.

Coverage continuity verified one-for-one: every deleted file already exists on rain.factory.deploy main — src/concrete/CloneFactory.sol, src/lib/LibCloneFactoryDeploy.sol, all three generated snapshots, both scripts, and all six tests including LibCloneFactoryDeployProd.t.sol. Nothing is orphaned.

Downstream safety verified: merging autopublishes an interfaces-only rain-factory 0.1.6. Soldeer revisions are immutable and this org carries the version inside the import path, so the only external deploy-pin consumer (S01-Issuer/st0x.deploy, pinned "0.1.1" with rain-factory-0.1.1/ prefixes) and rain.factory.deploy itself (pinned "0.1.5") keep working indefinitely. Neither moves until a deliberate bump, which would be a compile error rather than a silent resolution to the wrong thing.

Known consequence, accepted: this makes rain.factory#51 unmergeable as written (three modify/delete conflicts, since it edits CloneFactory.sol and LibCloneFactoryDeploy.sol and adds src/generated/0_1_6/ in the library repo). #51 requires re-scoping regardless — under the split, ICloneableFactoryV4 belongs here and the open-salt implementation, its snapshot and tests belong in rain.factory.deploy.

All four checks green. Zero unresolved review threads, queried via GraphQL rather than read off the checks rollup.

Rulings-conformance:

  • "yes we want versions in import statements" (human, this work) — OBEYED. No remapping or import was un-versioned. The version-in-path property is in fact what makes this merge safe, since it pins existing consumers to immutable 0.1.x revisions.
  • "dont test local just let ci handle" (human, this work) — OBEYED. The verdict rests on this PR CI run. No local suite was run to bless it.
  • "lets fix the interface first" then "so probably we should finish landing factory" (human, this work) — OBEYED and this is that work: Split rain.factory into library (rain.factory) + deploy (rain.factory.deploy) #46 step 4.
  • "merge 47" (human, this work) — this action. Using --merge, not squash; branch left intact.
  • Repo CLAUDE.md — has no rulings section. Its stated conventions are honoured by this PR: the LicenseRef-DCL-1.0 SPDX-header requirement (legal/reuse lint green) and the Solidity Conventions section, which this PR updates to record that rain-deploy and rain-sol-codegen went with the deploy half and must not return.
  • Non-conformance disclosed: the branch is slim-to-library, not the YYYY-MM-DD-description form CLAUDE.md documents for feature branches. Fixed at branch-creation time on 2026-07-24, before this session; not correctable without recreating the PR, and it does not affect the merged tree.
