v0.50.0 release assembly. 7 lanes on main (#840/#841/#842/#843/#844 + #815/#821/#814/#839): the RV32 alloc-validator, RV32 memory parity, aarch64 CF, native i64 rem_u modeling, WCET ph5, frame-backing i64-param, and the headline VCR-DEC-001 graph-colouring allocator spike (flag-off, validated by VCR-RA-003).

Release mechanics: pin sweep 0.49.0→0.50.0 (workspace + path-deps + MODULE.bazel + npm), CHANGELOG [0.50.0] with all 7 lane entries + headline, regenerated status.json/FEATURE_MATRIX (Qed 591). 25/25 claims, frozen 10/10, fmt clean.

Deferred (honest): #819 VCR-RA-003 optimized-path joins (redo, task #57), L7 soundness sweep WIP (unverified, preserved on feat/50-soundness-sweep).

… endgame begins (7-lane hub)

Wave 1: VCR-RA-003 RV32 alloc-validator (#815/#821), VCR-RA-003 ARM optimized-path
joins deferred (#819→redo), VCR-WASM i64 batch Qed 585→591 (#814). Wave 2: RV32
memory.size/grow parity (#841), WCET ph5 data-dep masked-ceiling certs (#839),
aarch64 void-block CF (#842), soundness sweep (WIP deferred), native i64 rem_u/rem_s
modeling via ordeal-0.12 Urem/bvsrem (#844), #837 frame-backing i64-param, and the
headline VCR-DEC-001 graph-colouring allocator spike flag-off (#843) — validated by
VCR-RA-003, flag-off byte-identical. Plus ci auto-merge for dependabot (#838).
Pin sweep 0.49.0→0.50.0; status.json/FEATURE_MATRIX regenerated; 25/25 claims;
frozen 10/10.

… — solver hang

#844 replaced the I64RemU/I64RemS HAVOC in arm_semantics with a real 64-bit
`dividend.bvsrem/bvurem(&divisor)`. That query is the hardest bitvector class
there is, and it HANGS both solvers: the pure-Rust ordeal default (→ the CI
"Test" job) and the Z3 differential (→ the "Z3 Verification" job). Both jobs
have run 4-6h and timed out on EVERY CI run since #844 landed — the last green
CI on main was 2026-07-20 (61acec9). Confirmed independently: the L8 rem test
produced no output (hung) in salvage, and a separate agent's full workspace run
reached 107 test binaries / 0 failures and stalled only on this synth-verify
rem SMT test.

This restores the pre-#844 havoc model (byte-invisible — verify-only, no
codegen change, frozen anchors untouched by construction) to un-hang CI and
unblock the v0.50.0 tag. Native i64 rem re-lands in v0.51 behind a per-query
solver timeout so a hard bvurem degrades to `unknown` instead of hanging the
whole suite. Tracking: #848 (re-land behind a per-query solver timeout).

The term.rs/solver.rs BvTerm::Urem enum arms stay — they are the #836
ordeal-0.12 enum-completeness handlers (harmless; nothing in verify now
generates the variant).

…GS CI

ROOT CAUSE of the 4-6h CI hangs (both the ordeal-default Test job and the Z3
Verification job) that have red-mained `main` since 2026-07-20: the ordeal
0.9.1 -> 0.12.0 dependabot bump (#825). 0.12 has a solver-performance
regression on bvsrem/bvsdiv that hangs div/rem trap-preservation VCs — even
the pre-existing 32-bit `rems_single_zero_guard_is_exactly_right` (I32RemS
Sdiv+Mls, #753/v0.43) hangs >240s on 0.12 but runs <1s on 0.9.1.

The last GREEN CI on main (61acec9, 2026-07-20 21:45:27) used ordeal 0.9.1 —
#825 merged 3 seconds later. NO commit with ordeal 0.12 has ever passed CI;
every subsequent lane auto-merged on the required-gate subset while Test/Z3
timed out. #844 (native i64 rem via 0.12 bvsrem/bvurem) made it far worse and
was reverted (db0f1f2, re-land #848); this pin is the actual fix.

Changes:
- crates/synth-verify/Cargo.toml: ordeal "0.12.0" -> "=0.9.1" (exact
  last-green pin; do-not-bump note added). Cargo.lock: ordeal + ordeal-lrat
  0.12.0 -> 0.9.1.
- Remove the four #836 `BvTerm::Urem` match arms (term.rs x3, z3-gated
  solver.rs x1) — that variant exists only in ordeal 0.12.

Verified: `cargo test -p synth-verify` = 236 tests, 0 failed, ~41s (was >6h
timeout on 0.12). Byte-invisible — verify-only, no codegen change, frozen
anchors untouched by construction.

Follow-ups (tracked, non-blocking): report the bvsrem/bvsdiv regression
upstream to ordeal; tighten .github/workflows/dependabot-auto-merge.yml (#838)
to HOLD 0.x MINOR bumps (0.9->0.12 is breaking by 0.x semver but dependabot
classified it "minor" and auto-merged it). See #849.

… =0.9.1 pin (#849)

#844's native i64 rem value model was reverted (it depended on ordeal 0.12,
which has the bvsrem/bvsdiv perf regression that hangs CI). The real v0.50.0
change is the ordeal =0.9.1 pin. Do not advertise a reverted feature.

…disasm text

The `rv32 memory.size / memory.grow execution oracle` (#841, VCR-SEL-005) has
FAILED on every CI run it actually executed — "FAIL — no symbol for export sz
([])" — the `syms` map came back EMPTY on the ubuntu runner. It located function
offsets by regex-parsing `synth disasm` TEXT (`^([0-9a-f]{8}) <(\w+)>:`), which
matched nothing on Linux for the `--relocatable` RISC-V object even though it
matched on macOS. It was merged ungated: main CI has been timing out since
2026-07-20 (ordeal-0.12 hang, #849), so this job was CANCELLED on every prior
run and its true `failure` never surfaced until the hang was fixed.

The codegen is correct — the oracle passes in every local configuration
(fresh binary, old + latest wasmtime 47.0.1). Only the symbol LOOKUP was
host-fragile. Fix: read function offsets from the ELF SYMBOL TABLE via
pyelftools (`.symtab`, `st_value` = offset within `.text` for a relocatable
object) — host-independent, the documented differential-harness lesson. The
`.text` bytes were already read via pyelftools; this just does the addresses
the same way. Drop the now-unused `re` import.

Verified: same addresses, oracle still PASS locally (sz=3/grow0=3/grow2=-1).
No codegen/frozen change.

Follow-up (non-blocking): 10 other repro oracles still regex-parse disasm text
(add_imm_large, bulk_memory_374, control_step_riscv, div_const, ...) — they pass
on CI today but carry the same latent host-dependency; harden them to symtab.
