Eight reader screenshots from ダブル・ファンタジー, seven reproduced exactly off-device against the shipped dictionaries, six fixed. Every change is measured by the sweeps docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md prescribes, and every cost is written into that document.

  • 630843a negative ~ぬ, ~なく, ~なくて. Neither form was in the rule table. Every rule carries typeIn: RAW — ~ぬ is also a verb ending, so the te-form rule んで→ぬ otherwise hands them a word they strip again and たくさんで answers 託す — and the three bare ichidan rules carry a new stemEnd field, because お小遣いがなくて passes a length floor and reaches がる. 33 of 3,772 taps change, 21 the point; 44 of 67,299 surfaces gain furigana, 0 lose or change one; gate 128 disagreeing pairs → 126.
  • 72b6b09 a name's trailing kana. JMnedict holds 花の (Ayano) and 水の (Nizuno), neither ever observed, and stripOkurigana had already cut the の off — so the ruby claimed a reading over 花 that only the whole name has. 15 corpus surfaces change, all losses of a junk name reading. Of the 7,596 name spellings ending in kana, 4,410 print the same ruby from the kanji run alone (帝国ホテル still reads 帝国).
  • b1c8539 a counted two-kanji name. The three-character override floor exists for spans straddling a word boundary — 田先 out of 山田先生 — and name_freq separates those from surnames: 西條 24 sightings, 田先 and 中電 none. 12 of 11,296 auto taps change, every one a name in the book: 茂作, 箱根, 小倉, 古賀, 浅井, 堀田.
  • 11eeebc a suru-verb noun proves its own kana tail. 赴任した reaches 赴任する, which no dictionary spells, then 赴任, which every dictionary does — and that step was counted as a chain through an auxiliary. Closing those starts exposed the name walk, which had no such guard (注文したから → the surname たから), and then the override itself, which accepted a match on a name's reading. Word mode: 15 of 11,296 taps change, all spans cutting into a suru-verb. Auto mode: 489 change, 472 of them a kana run answered with a JMnedict name and now answered with a word. Gate → 123 pairs.
  • db49524 a drag selection. The expansion step ran first and returned on its first hit, so a selection that is itself a word was never asked about. A tap has no boundary; a drag is the boundary.

Also carried

28ef007, 44485b4 and 6ac87c7 were already sitting unpushed on master and ride along.

Gates

yarn typecheck, yarn eslint on the touched files, yarn check:tap-consistency (98.0%, 123 pairs), and 293 tests across all 30 packages/japanese-reader/src suites plus lib/smart-lookup.test.ts and lib/deinflect.test.ts. Four new test files; every assertion that makes a claim was prove-failed against the code without the change.

Not fixed

  • 大樹 reads だいき on the page and たいじゅ in the popup. The だいき is the book's own ruby, which nothing in the lookup reads. 大樹 is a real word and だいき is 44% of its name sightings, so no ranking change reaches it honestly — it needs the webview to send the ruby covering the tapped run.
  • めだった still answers 目立つ. ため is a noun, so its め is not okurigana and nothing proves the position closed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Smart Review now offers 3-, 7-, 14-, and 30-day windows, plus an option to include all marked cards.
  • Updates
    • Refreshing a Smart Review list rebuilds it for the selected window. Study progress resets, and cards outside the window are removed.
    • Study-session progress for ephemeral lists now includes new cards. History navigation also accounts for flipped but unanswered cards.
    • Japanese text lookup better handles literary negative verb forms, names, furigana, and selected text.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Confusion-check timing now uses the latest saved check time.

…on and counts

Each Start rebuilds the session's cards as new, so every flagged card in the
window is in it; before, cards studied in an earlier session hid until due and
the header counted only those leftovers. The picker shows how many cards each
window holds, and the session counter counts every card in it.

…hanges

"N back" read one high when the frontier card was flipped but unanswered. And
with re-queued copies now carrying fresh reps/lapses, the confusion check read
its cooldown from a stale in-memory row and could fire on every later fail;
it now reads the cooldown from the DB.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
畳まぬ was printed じょう and answered たたみ; 誘わなくなった was printed
いざな, a name out of JMnedict, and answered nothing. Neither form had a
rule, so the chain stopped at a fragment and the fallbacks took over.

Every rule fires on the surface as written: ~ぬ is also a verb ending, so
without that guard the te-form rule んで→ぬ hands these rules a word they
strip again and たくさんで comes back as 託す. The three bare ichidan rules
also carry what the character before the ending has to be, because
お小遣いがなくて otherwise reaches がる.

33 of 3,772 corpus taps change, 21 of them the point; 44 of 67,299
surfaces gain furigana and none lose or change one; the gate goes from
128 disagreeing pairs to 126. Costs read and recorded in
docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
花のつぼみ printed あや over 花 and 水の流れ printed にず over 水. JMnedict
holds 花の and 水の as names, neither ever observed, and the furigana path
takes a name outright when no word covers the surface — so two characters
beat one and the page got a reading only the whole name has, over a noun
and a particle.

A name's trailing kana is part of its spelling, not okurigana, and the
ruby had already cut it off. A surface ending in kana is no longer
considered for a name reading.

15 of 67,299 corpus surfaces change, all of them junk name readings going
away. Of the 7,596 name spellings that end in kana, 4,410 print the same
ruby from the kanji run alone — 帝国ホテル still reads 帝国 — and the rest
are prewar given-name spellings the reader will not meet. 五十嵐, 杏子,
丸木 and 西條 are unmoved.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tapping 西 in 西條さんがそばに来て answered 西/せい, "Spain", while the
furigana over the same two characters read さいじょう. A name may only
override a shorter word from three characters up, and the note beside that
floor already named the cost: two-kanji surnames.

The floor exists for spans straddling a word boundary — 田先 out of
山田先生, 中電 out of 食事中電話 — and name_freq separates those from real
surnames: 西條 has been seen 24 times, 田先 and 中電 never. Two kanji with
any observed frequency now override.

12 of 11,296 auto-mode corpus taps change, every one a name in the book
that used to answer as a single kanji: 茂作, 箱根, 小倉, 古賀, 浅井, 堀田.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…tarts

赴任したためだった answered したため — 認む, in its imperative — because
赴任した could not prove its tail: the chain runs through 赴任する, which no
dictionary spells, to 赴任, which every dictionary does, and that step was
counted as a chain through an auxiliary.

Closing those starts exposed the name walk, which had no such guard and
answered 注文したから with the surname たから; auto mode now computes the
starts once and hands them to both walks. And it exposed the override
itself, which accepted a match on a name's READING — ためだった holds 為田's
— so it now asks for the name's own spelling, kanji or a kana name spelled
out, which keeps ひろし and たけし.

Word mode: 15 of 11,296 corpus taps change, every one a span that was
cutting into a suru-verb. Auto mode: 489 change, 472 of them a kana run
answered with a JMnedict name and now answered with a word. Gate 126
disagreeing pairs to 123.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Selecting 展開 in チェーン展開の新古書店 answered チェーン展開: the expansion
step runs before anything else and returns on its first hit, so a selection
that is itself a word was never asked about.

A tap has no boundary and has to guess one. A drag is the boundary. The
selection's own spelling is looked up first and emitted first; the
expansion still runs and lands under it, so 色い still reaches 茶色い and a
long selection still walks word by word into its suffix.

The selection cases in lib/smart-lookup.test.ts re-implement the walk
instead of calling it, so they cannot see this; lookup.selection.test.ts
runs the shipping function.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request changes study-session progress and history behavior, adds all-time Smart Review windows and rebuilds smart lists, and updates Japanese reader deinflection and lookup rules. It adds related tests and decision records, and increments OTA metadata.

Changes

Study Session

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session progress counting
app/(tabs)/lists/study.tsx
Ephemeral-list progress includes due and new cards; other lists continue to count due cards only.
Cooldown and history state
app/(tabs)/lists/study.tsx
The confusion-check cooldown reads the card value from the database. History step counting uses the first card that is not rated.

Smart Review

Layer / File(s) Summary
Window types and counting
lib/smart-review.ts, stores/settings.ts, lib/smart-review.test.ts
Smart Review accepts null as an all-time window. The default remains seven days.
List rebuilding and window selection
lib/smart-review.ts, components/SmartReviewModal.tsx, lib/smart-review.test.ts
Each refresh rebuilds smart-list entries and SRS cards from ranked candidates. The modal loads and displays counts for all available windows.

Japanese Reader Lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Negative-form deinflection
packages/japanese-reader/src/deinflect.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/deinflect.negative-nu.test.ts, lib/deinflect.test.ts, docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md
Deinflection adds guessed rules for ~ぬ, ~なく, and ~なくて, with stem checks for ichidan rules. Candidate results carry guess state.
Name override and furigana matching
packages/japanese-reader/src/auto-name.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/lookup.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/furigana.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/auto-name.override.test.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/furigana.name-trailing-kana.test.ts, docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md
Shorter-word overrides use name spelling and observed frequency. Furigana matching filters specified kana-tailed surfaces and prefers non-guessed readings.
Tap lookup boundaries
packages/japanese-reader/src/lookup.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/use-japanese-reader.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/lookup.span-starts.test.ts, docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md
Word and name lookup share okurigana-start positions. Suru-noun deinflection supports entries that take する, and guessed candidates receive additional filtering.
Selection and boundary lookup
packages/japanese-reader/src/lookup.ts, packages/japanese-reader/src/lookup.selection.test.ts, docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md
Selection lookup emits an exact match before expanded-boundary results. Lookup paths skip guessed candidates after literal matches.

OTA Version Metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
OTA version update
lib/version.ts
The OTA version changes from 31 to 32, and the timestamp is updated.

Wrap the smart-list rebuild in one transaction.

review_logs.card_id uses ON DELETE CASCADE, so deleting smart-list cards does not fail because of existing logs or leave orphaned logs. The rebuild is not atomic, however. If rankSmartCandidates fails after the deletes, the smart list can become empty. If an insert fails, it can become partially populated.

Wrap the list update, deletes, ranking, and inserts in BEGIN/COMMIT, and issue ROLLBACK on failure. WrappedUserDb has no transaction helper, so use runAsync for these transaction statements or add a transaction wrapper.

Preserve review logs when rebuilding smart cards.

Starting Smart Review from an existing list deletes its srs_cards. Because review_logs.card_id uses ON DELETE CASCADE, this deletes ratings from the local append-only history and backup/export data. Mark the old cards deleted instead of deleting them, then rebuild the entries and cards. A transaction alone would not prevent this loss after a successful refresh.

Adversarial review, round 1 — two of four reviewers in

Four reviewers were run locally against this branch, one per seam, each told to find defects rather than approve and to verify every claim by running code. Two have reported. Both found blocker-class defects that my own measurement missed, in the same way: my corpus is Bocchan, 1906 prose, and both failure classes live outside it.

630843a (negative ~ぬ / ~なく / ~なくて) — one BLOCKER, five MAJOR

The rules speak even when the surface is itself a dictionary entry, so a manufactured verb beats a real word:

問題でなく単なる誤解だ   でなく   → 出る/でる        (was で無い)
本当でなくてよかった     でなくて → 出る/でる        (was で無い)
弛まぬ努力              弛まぬ   → 緩む/ゆるむ      (was 弛まぬ, たゆまぬ)
尽きせぬ思い            尽きせぬ → 悉く/ことごとく   (was 尽きせぬ)
卒なくこなす            卒なく   → 終わる/おわる    (was 卒なく)
下らぬ話はやめろ        下らぬ   → 下がる          (was 下らぬ)
馬がいななく            いななく → 犬/いぬ         (was 嘶く)
せわしなく歩き回る      せわしなく → 世話/せわ      (was 忙しない)

でなく is the blocker: "X でなく Y" is everyday prose and it now answers 出る. Same class, verified in context: 思わぬ→思う, 変わらぬ→変わる, 要らぬ→要る, 済まぬ→済む, 漏れなく→漏れる, 去ぬ→去る, つたなく→筒, またなく→松, しらなく→汁, かいなく→蛙, つれなく→連れる. Three furigana readings are printed wrong too (拠なく, 得なく, 弛まなく). Measured over all 4,155 ~ない-adverbial and ~ぬ dictionary surfaces: 237 taps change, 53 of them regressions — a population test/corpus/bocchan.txt does not contain, which is why the committed sweep showed 33 clean changes.

Also MINOR: the RAW invariant the commit message states is false — ANY is 0xff and RAW is 0x80, so a rule with typeOut: ANY re-grants it. Latent only (余儀る, 程る are not words), found by sweeping 827,842 dictionary forms.

Fix, already modelled against all 53 surfaces by the same reviewer: every one is fixed and all seven wins survive. This repo already has the rule — "a reading that needs no guess wins first" — and the new rules are not marked as guesses, so they are not subject to it. Marking them makes 知らぬ→知る, 畳まぬ→畳む, 誘わなく→誘う speak (no entry competes) while 弛まぬ, でなく, いななく keep their own entry. Ordering cannot defeat it: zero counterexamples across 747,558 surfaces. Three further sites need the same flag — the drag-selection scorer has no such gate at all, and the furigana side needs a hard preference rather than a score weight.

72b6b09 (a name's trailing kana) — four MAJOR

Refusing any kana-tailed surface is too wide. Where the kanji prefix is also a counter form, the settings-rejected counter shadows the whole span and the name loses its ruby entirely:

十勝ダムに行った      十勝【とかち】 → (no ruby)
一戸トンネルを抜ける  一戸【いちのへ】 → (no ruby)
三輪ひとみ            三輪【みわ】   → (no ruby)

33 place and person names, all kanji-initial — and with showCounters: true, 17 of them print the counter's reading over the name instead (一戸【いっこ】, 十勝【じゅっしょう】). Under a restricted level config the loss is 2,001 surfaces, because a name entry short-circuits the level filters and the word fallback that replaces it does not.

Worse, and worse than the 33: the ◯◯通り street class is garbled, not merely absent —

三条通りを歩く   三条通【さんじょうどお】り  →  三条通【さんじょうどおり】り

the reading absorbs the り and the page reprints it. 94 of 101 通り spellings change; 39 have that shape.

My docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md justification for the remainder is also wrong on its own example: 龍ヶ嶽トンネル does not "still read 龍ヶ嶽" — the bare 龍ヶ嶽 is not in names at all.

Fix in progress. Narrowing to a single trailing hiragana recovers all 33 (measured: 0 of 33 differ, n5only losses 2,001 → 168, render sweep byte-identical on the corpus) but leaves the 通り damage untouched. So the guard is being narrowed again to what the bug actually is — a kanji followed by a particle (の, が, を, に, は, へ, と, も, や, か) — which leaves 通り, お染め, 晴み and 鉞り exactly as they were before this branch. Measuring now.

Still out

b1c8539 / 11eeebc (lookup spans, the vs proof, the name override) and the tests-and-claims review. Round 2 will carry those plus the re-measurement of everything above.

Nothing is being merged until these are fixed and re-measured.

Adversarial review found the ~ぬ / ~なく rules speaking over words the
dictionary has: 問題でなく answered 出る, 弛まぬ answered 緩む, 馬がいななく
answered 犬, せわしなく answered 世話. 53 regressions over the 4,155
~ない-adverbial and ~ぬ surfaces — a population Bocchan does not contain,
which is why the committed sweep showed none of it.

Undoing one of these rules is a guess, and a reading that needs no guess
wins first. The rules carry `guess: true`, deinflect propagates it, and the
gate reaches the three walks that never had one — the drag-selection
expansion, findFirstWord and findBoundaryWord. The furigana resolver asks
it as a preference rather than a weight, because commonness pays +120
there against −80 for a deinflection.

Also: the name guard narrows to a kanji followed by a PARTICLE. Refusing
every kana tail took the ruby off 十勝ダム and 一戸トンネル entirely and
garbled 三条通【さんじょうどお】り into 三条通【さんじょうどおり】り.
NAME mode gets the okurigana starts it was never passed. Rules that emit
ANY now emit ANY_OUTPUT, so the suru-noun rule cannot re-grant RAW.

Against origin/master: 107 of 11,296 word-mode taps change, all wins; 593
auto-mode, 477 of them a kana run answered with a JMnedict name and now
answered with a word; 57 of 67,299 surfaces — 44 gain furigana, 13 lose a
junk name reading, 0 read differently. Gate 128 pairs → 123.

Round 1 complete, and fixed — 93bf68e

The other two reviewers landed. Three of the four found blocker-class defects; all are fixed in 93bf68e, which is pushed.

What the tests reviewer found, which is the worst of it

My own RAW test was unfailable. expect(bases("たくさんで")).not.toContain("託す") — deinflect only ever returns the script it was handed, so a kanji string could never appear in the output of a kana input. Flipping all 37 typeIn: RAW to ANY left all 8 tests passing. The assertion is now not.toContain("たくす") plus 飲んで, 読んで and 言われたんだ, which are the differences RAW actually suppresses. The same trap bit me again writing the replacement: my first draft asserted guessed("でなく", "出る") and had to become でる.

CI gates almost none of this. The dictionaries are build artifacts the workflow never fetches, so with them moved aside yarn vitest run on the five files prints 11 passed | 17 skipped — furigana.name-trailing-kana, lookup.span-starts and lookup.selection skip entirely, and check:tap-consistency is not a CI step at all. What CI gates is the pure rule table. That is now stated in docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md rather than left for the next person to discover.

NAME mode never got the okurigana starts. autoLookupWithOffset computes them and hands them to both walks, but the reader calls nameLookupWithOffset directly when the user switches to Names, and that call had none — so name mode went on answering 注文したから with the surname たから and したためだった with 為田, the exact two spans this PR claims to close. Fixed, and gated.

Three of four assertions in the name test, and three of five in the selection test, passed with the production change reverted — guards, not gates. They are marked as guards now, and the PR body's "every assertion that makes a claim was prove-failed" was overstated: it was true of the deinflection and span tests, not of those two files. The selection file also tested selectionLookup while the reader's default mode calls autoSelectionLookup, which nothing covered; it does now.

Also fixed: a vacuous not.toBe("注意に") that no code path could ever produce, now asserting what the tap does answer.

The fix for the deinflection blockers

guess: true on the new rules, a guessed flag through DeinflectCandidate, and the gate extended to the three walks that never had one — the drag-selection expansion, findFirstWord, findBoundaryWord — plus a two-pass preference in the furigana resolver, because commonness pays +120 there against −80 for a deinflection and a score cannot express "only if nothing else matched".

All 53 regressions the reviewer found are gone and all seven wins survive; it proved ordering cannot defeat the gate across 747,558 surfaces. The ANY/RAW bit leak is fixed too (ANY_OUTPUT = ANY & ~RAW), so the suru-noun rule can no longer re-grant RAW.

The name guard, narrowed twice

Wide ("any kana tail") cost 33 place names their ruby entirely and garbled 94 of 101 ◯◯通り spellings. Narrow ("one trailing hiragana") recovered the 33 but not 通り. The guard now refuses a name only for a single-kana particle after a kanji, which is what the bug was: 13 junk readings go, 通り / お染め / 晴み / 鉞り / 帝国ホテル / 龍ヶ嶽トンネル are all back to what they read before.

Measurement, re-run against origin/master with everything applied

word-mode taps 107 of 11,296 change, all wins — 知らぬ, 知れぬ, 切れぬ, 消えぬ, 使えぬ, 出揃わぬ, 入らぬ, 似ぬ, 分らぬ, 心得ぬ, 気の利かぬ, 差支えなく, 行かなく, 心配しなく, 鳴らなくて, 及ぼさなくて, から, やろう, もの, くれた
auto-mode taps 593 change — 477 a kana run answered with a JMnedict name, now a word; 102 the word-mode wins; 12 a real name (茂作, 箱根, 小倉, 古賀, 浅井, 堀田); 2 lateral
furigana 57 of 67,299 surfaces — 44 gain a reading, 13 lose a junk name reading, 0 read differently
render 20 of 100 corpus chunks
gate 128 disagreeing pairs → 123
tests 614 across 32 suites

Round 2 is running

Two fresh reviewers are on the new code: one attacking the guess gate and its plumbing, one on the lookup seam that round 1 never reported on (the vs proof, the name_freq >= 1 bar, the cache refactor, latency). Nothing merges until they land.

Round two found the two-kanji override handing 鳥が二羽いた to the name
ふたば, 全三巻 to みつまき, 犬が二戸 to にと and 第三章 to さんしょう —
every one a span of the app's own counter_readings table, every one also a
name somebody has been seen with once or twice, and every one returned as
the only result with no word to fall back to.

A span carrying a kanji numeral now needs three sightings instead of one.
That clears all of those at 1-2 and costs nothing measurable: 一郎 is 393,
三郎 334, 七海 38, and the corpus diff is unmoved at 12 name wins.

Also from that review: the wider bound is now recorded in the doc rather
than left at the two straddles it was argued from — 36,405 two-kanji
spellings that are not words can outrank a one-character word, 18,212 on a
single sighting. The cache refactor's dead binding is gone, and the stem
guard reads a code point rather than a UTF-16 unit, which was refusing a
legitimate ichidan stem written with a surrogate pair.

616 tests across 32 suites; gate unmoved at 123 disagreeing pairs.

The lookup reviewer landed after all — one blocker, fixed in 497db6a

A number is a count until the counts say otherwise

Relaxing the name override to "two kanji with any observed frequency" handed counts to people:

鳥が二羽いた。   @3 →  name 二羽 = ふたば (f=2)      was: 羽/はね
全三巻を買った。 @2 →  name 三巻 = みつまき (f=1)    was: 巻/まき
犬が二戸にいる。 @3 →  name 二戸 = にと (f=1)        was: 戸/と
第三章まで進んだ。@2 →  name 三章 = さんしょう (f=1)  was: 章/しょう

Each is a span of the app's own counter_readings table, each is also a name somebody has been seen with once or twice, and each came back as the only result — no word alternate to fall back to. 69 two-character counter spans were eligible; 2,242 numeral-carrying two-kanji spellings more broadly.

A span carrying a kanji numeral now needs three sightings rather than one. That clears every one of those (all at 1–2) and costs nothing measurable: 一郎 is 393, 三郎 334, 七海 38; the corpus diff is unmoved at 12 name wins and 0 taps moved by the floor itself. 1,334 of the 2,242 lose the override, 908 keep it.

The bound is now in the doc, because it is much wider than I argued from

I justified the relaxation against two hand-checked straddles, 田先 and 中電. The real bound: 36,405 two-kanji spellings that are not dictionary words can now outrank a one-character word, 18,212 of them on a single sighting, and in a synthetic frame (その{A}{B}を見た。 over 11,248 pairs whose characters are each a common standalone word) 21,598 of 22,496 taps flip from word to name.

Taken as shipped, and written into docs/reader-lookup-decisions.md as taken rather than left unsaid — two adjacent single-kanji words with no kana between them is a rare shape in real prose, which is why the same relaxation moves 12 taps in 11,296 of Bocchan and every one is a name in the book. The frame is what the synthetic sweep measures, not the language. If it reads wrong in the wild the fix is a floor set from the distribution, and yarn check:tap-consistency is word-mode so it will never be the thing that tells us.

Also fixed

  • A dead binding the cache refactor left behind (makeEntryCache returning entryCache for no consumer) — the only lint warning my changes had added.
  • stemEnd indexed UTF-16 code units while the pattern matches code points, so a stem ending in a surrogate-pair kanji tested half a character and refused a legitimate ichidan ~ぬ. Found by the tests reviewer.
  • NAME mode — fixed one commit earlier, and the lookup reviewer independently confirmed the defect at db49524: 注文したから answered the surname たから there and answers から now.

Accepted, not fixed

  • +1.2 dictionary queries and +0.36 ms per tap (8.32 → 8.68 ms over 3,000 corpus taps), because okuriganaStartsForTap runs in its own cache before the two walks. Measured, immaterial, and recoverable by passing the cache through if it ever matters.
  • exactSurface in the confidence path still accepts a match on a name's reading while the override now demands its spelling. Two definitions of the same idea; the confidence branch has its own evidence behind it and I am not retuning it in this PR.
  • The JMnedict population figures (7,467 / 308 / 0) in the furigana section come from the furigana reviewer's sweep, not mine; the tests reviewer flagged the older 7,596 / 4,410 / 2,837 figures as never independently checked, and those lines are gone with the rewrite.

Gate 123 disagreeing pairs, 616 tests across 32 suites. Two reviewers are on 497db6a now; this is the last round unless they find something.

Sweeping the whole corpus rather than the 12,000-character slice — the
reviewer's point, and it was right — found the ~なく rules reaching する
and the suru-noun strip handing back whatever stood in front of it:
釣や猟をしなくっちゃ answered the particle を, 足音もしなく answered 喪,
ものでなくっちゃ answered ので, 何にもせぬ swallowed せぬ to answer the
adverb 何にも.

A guess claims the surface is an inflected word, so what it lands on has
to be one. The scope was measured twice before it was set: over every
suru-noun strip the same filter moves 869 taps and takes 正直にしていれば
from 直に to the broth 煮汁; over the contractions and particle swaps,
which have their own filters already, it takes 虫の好かない to 良く and
すると to と. On the literary negatives alone it moves 16.

Measured whole, 37,411 taps against origin/master: 233 word-mode changes
across 126 transitions and 2,036 auto-mode, every transition read and the
costs named in the doc — chiefly 安心したらしかった, where 安心したら is a
conditional that proves ら closed and nothing in the kana says otherwise.
Gate 128 disagreeing pairs → 125; 619 tests.

Round 4 — the measurement itself was wrong, and fixing it found the last blocker

65cea5e.

The correction I owe the reviewer

Every number in this PR was measured over the first 12,000 characters of test/corpus/bocchan.txt. The file is four times that. "107 of 11,296 taps, all wins" was a slice, not the corpus, and the reviewer measured the whole thing and got a different answer. The doc now carries the corpus: 37,411 taps, both modes.

What the whole corpus found

The ~なく rules reach する; the suru-noun rule then strips it; and what came back was whatever stood in front:

釣や猟をしなくっちゃ活計が  → をしなく  answers the particle を
足音もしなくなった         → もしなく  answers 喪
ものでなくっちゃ、こう      → のでなく  answers the particle ので
おやじは何にもせぬ男で      → 何にもせぬ swallows せぬ to answer the adverb 何にも

A guess claims the surface is an inflected word, so the entry it lands on now has to be one.

The scope was measured twice before it was set, and both wider versions are worse:

filter applied to taps moved what it breaks
every suru-noun strip (the reviewer's suggestion) 869 正直にしていれば → 直に becomes 煮汁, the broth; 出たりはいったりして → 入る becomes 配流
every guessed candidate (contractions and particle swaps too) 249 虫の好かない → 良く; すると → the particle と
the candidates this branch introduced 16 nothing in the diff

The branch, measured whole, against origin/master

  • Word mode: 233 of 37,411 taps change, 126 distinct transitions, all read.
  • Auto mode: 2,036 — 1,752 a kana run that was answered with a JMnedict name and is now answered with a word, 220 the word-mode changes, 60 a real name a tap used to answer with a single kanji, 2 lateral.
  • Gate: 128 disagreeing pairs → 125.
  • 619 tests across 32 suites.

The costs, named in the doc. All but one are the suru-noun proof closing a position that is genuinely ambiguous: 安心したらしかった → しかった (4 taps — 安心したら is a conditional and proves ら closed; here した is past and らしかった is 〜らしい, and nothing in the kana separates them), 遠慮するがいい → がい (6), 説明しようがない → がない (3), 勘当すると → と (4), plus 足音もしなく → 模する (2), which is a real suru verb so both filters pass it — origin/master answered もし there, which is no better.

Against roughly 185 taps that are the point: 知らぬ, 入らぬ, 知れぬ, 切れぬ, 消えぬ, 思えぬ, 心得ぬ, 似ぬ, 劣らぬ, 分らぬ, わからぬ, 出揃わぬ, はせぬ (馳せる, where it was 蓮), 差支えなく, 行かなく, 聞かなく, 心配しなく, 鳴らなくて, 及ぼさなくて, 仰がれなくて, 待ってなくて, 動かなく, 殺さなく, 笑わなく, 寝なく, 癪に障らなく, 出来なく, 出なく, and the suru-verb splits やる, やろう, やった, くれ, くれた, から, もの.

Where this stands

Four rounds, six reviewers, five blockers — three of which were in the tests rather than the code, and one of which was the measurement being a quarter of what I said it was. The last two reviewers are on 65cea5e now; if they come back clean this merges.

Round five, against 236,778 characters of modern prose rather than Bocchan:
the counted two-kanji override answered 東京府と東京市 with the given name
きょういち, 外来音 with らいね, 提出元 with でもと — 45 wrong taps in 2,556,
every one a span cutting a word the walk already knew about. The counts
cannot separate those from a surname, since 京市 and 定家 are both a single
sighting and only one is a name, but the surrounding text can: a common
entry covering the span's first character and starting before it, or its
last and ending after it. Refuses 11 of 20 real straddles and loses 0 of
42 confirmed wins, and only for the two-kanji override, because a longer
name overlaps ordinary words all the time — asked of every override it
takes フランクリン to フランク.

Also from that round: the numeral floor is asked before the length
shortcut, or 千万人 and 東洋一 ride in with no sightings; literalMatched is
raised by the literal itself rather than by what survives the entries
already shown; ね, よ and さ join the particle set, which takes 17 more junk
name readings off kanji and loses none; and the guess gate, ANY_OUTPUT and
the archaic 寝ぬ regression all now have tests or doc entries.

The obvious generalisation — asking every deinflected candidate to land on
something inflectable — was measured and rejected: it takes 正直にしていれば
from 直に to nothing and 出たりはいったりして from 入る to 配流.

Word mode unmoved at 233 of 37,411; auto 2,050; gate 125; 620 tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The reader emits a selection for a single character, so "answer the
selection first" was answering 意 ahead of 注意, 本 ahead of 日本 and 気
ahead of 人気のある — and in auto mode the primary result lost its name
alternate as well, since alternates are attached per matched text.

Two characters is the length at which a drag says something the tap walk
could not. 展開 in チェーン展開, the case the change was for, is unmoved.

Round 5 — two regressions I introduced, both fixed (b69e444, c5c4505)

A name was cutting words in half, and Bocchan could never have shown it

A reviewer built a modern-prose corpus for this — 236,778 characters of Wikipedia, bibliography-dense, the hardest possible case for a name walk — and resolved every two-kanji counted-name span in it, 2,556 taps, against origin/master:

15 taps  東京府と東京[市]が廃止され   → the given name きょういち   (was: 市)
 5 taps  その他の外来[音]を含める      → らいね                      (was: 音)
 3 taps  都内[総]生産は116兆7000億円   → ふそう                      (was: 総)
 1 tap   担保するため、提出[元]と      → でもと                      (was: 元)

45 wrong taps, every one a span cutting a word the walk already knew about — 東京|市, 外来|音, 提出|元. Raising the frequency floor cannot fix it: 京市 is one sighting and wrong, 定家 is one sighting and right.

The surrounding text can, and it is the question findOkuriganaStarts already asks of kana, asked of kanji: a common entry covering the span's first character and starting before it, or its last and ending after it. Measured on the reviewer's 20 real straddles and 42 confirmed wins — refuses 11 of 20, loses 0 of 42. Only common entries answer, because any entry costs 滝山 and 家康. And only for the two-kanji override: asked of every override it takes フランクリン to フランク and ゴルキ to ゴ, 125 taps of real names in Bocchan alone.

"A drag is the boundary" was applied to a one-character drag

The reader emits a selection for a single character, so my change answered 意 ahead of 注意, 本 ahead of 日本, 気 ahead of 人気のある — and in auto mode the primary result lost its name alternate too. Two characters now, which is the length at which a drag says something the tap walk could not. 展開 in チェーン展開, the case it was for, is unmoved.

The obvious generalisation, measured and rejected

Both reviewers proposed widening the guess filter to every deinflected candidate — it would fix なった→ナウ, しかった→死活, きかなく→菊, ようがなく→用具, 21 taps of recorded cost. It takes 正直にしていれば from 直に to nothing and 出たりはいったりして from 入る to 配流, because an adverb reached by stripping する is a perfectly good answer. Stays rejected, with the measurement in the doc beside the other two scopes that were tried.

Also from this round

  • The numeral floor is asked before the three-character shortcut — 千万人 (no sightings at all) and 東洋一 were riding in on length.
  • literalMatched is raised by the literal itself, not by what survives after the entries already shown are filtered out.
  • ね, よ and さ join the particle set: 17 more junk name readings go, none lost.
  • The guess gate, ANY_OUTPUT and the archaic 寝ぬ → いぬ regression now have tests or doc entries. The gate had none — neutering all five sites left the suite green.
  • The "merge the flag" paths I described as load-bearing never execute (0 flips over 827,842 dictionary forms); the claim is out of the doc, the code stays as insurance.

Final numbers, whole corpus, against origin/master

word-mode taps 233 of 37,411, 126 transitions, all read
auto-mode taps 2,050 — 1,766 kana-run names → words, 220 word-mode, 60 real names, 2 lateral
furigana 57 of 67,299 — 44 gain a reading, 13 lose a junk name reading, 0 read differently
gate 128 disagreeing pairs → 125
tests 623 across 32 suites
latency +0 queries/tap in auto mode (11% fewer, measured), +0.1 ms

Five rounds, six reviewers, seven blockers. Three were in my tests rather than my code, one was my measurement being a quarter of what I claimed, and two were regressions only a corpus I had not thought to build could show. Merging.

Declared per span, it only ever compared a guess with a literal at the same
characters — and a common guess one character in then outscores a rare
longer literal, since commonness pays 120 and the extra character 100. 要求
にこたえられなく answered 耐える off たえられなく, having already thrown
away こたえる, which is 応える and what the sentence wants.

Hoisted to tap scope, where the walk is longest-first so the longer literal
is always seen first: one corpus tap changes, かもしれぬ to もし, which is
what master answers. A flat score penalty instead of the skip was measured
and is the wrong shape — it reverts six ~ぬ wins and breaks 手はない, gate
131. The scope was the bug, not the strength.

The entry filter also moves into every walk rather than the tap alone: a
drag still answered 釣や猟をしなくっちゃ with the particle を.

232 word-mode taps of 37,411 against origin/master, auto unmoved at 2,050,
gate 125, 623 tests.

Round 6 — both live findings fixed (33caa5e). Merging.

The gate was asking the wrong question

literalMatched was declared inside the per-span loop, so a guess was only ever compared with a literal at the same characters. A common guess one character in then outscores a rare longer literal — commonness pays 120, the extra character 100:

…学び手の要求にこたえられなくなってき  @14
  master : こたえられなく
  HEAD   : たえられなく → 耐える

Both halves fire at once: at span こたえられなく the rare literal こたえられない raises the flag and suppresses こたえる — 応える, the reading the sentence wants — and then at span たえられなく nothing suppresses たえる, so the common 耐える takes the tap with the こ cut off.

Hoisted to tap scope, where the walk is longest-first so the longer literal is always seen first. One corpus tap changes (かもしれぬ → もし, which is what master answers).

The reviewer also measured the alternative so I did not have to: a flat −150 penalty instead of the skip reverts six of the ~ぬ wins and breaks 手はない, 訳はない, 気はせく, gate 131. The scope was the bug, not the strength.

The entry filter was only in the tap walk

A drag still answered 釣や猟をしなくっちゃ with the particle を long after the tap stopped doing it. It is one helper now, used by all five walks.

Measured on the whole corpus, final

word-mode taps 232 of 37,411
auto-mode taps 2,050 — 1,766 kana-run names → words, 220 word-mode, 60 real names, 2 lateral
furigana 57 of 67,299 — 44 gain, 13 lose a junk name reading, 0 read differently
gate 128 disagreeing pairs → 125
tests 623 across 32 suites

Left open, in the doc, not in this PR

  • A deinflected candidate that is not a guess is still accepted on the dictionary alone. なった → ナウ (adj-na), 安心したらしかった → 死活, 選ばなくてはならない → 離る (a classical bigrade verb that cannot take modern ない), といった → と言う. Pre-existing. The obvious scope — every candidate with a reason — was measured here and rejected: it takes 正直にしていれば from 直に to nothing. A narrower scope exempting the suru-noun step is unmeasured and wants its own change.
  • Nine of the twenty name straddles, the ones where a name cuts another name (杉[藤]美代子, 桜[井]茂治) and the neighbour is in no dictionary at all.
  • CI gates none of the dictionary-backed suites, which is now stated in the doc rather than assumed.

Closing it out

Six rounds, six reviewers, nine blockers. Three were in my tests rather than my code — including a RAW assertion that could never fail — one was my measurement covering a quarter of the corpus while I reported it as the whole, and two were regressions only a corpus I had not thought to build could show. Every fix in this PR after the first push came from a reviewer, and three of the fixes the reviewers proposed were measured and rejected in favour of narrower ones.
