T249 G5: additional_port_pairs loader verification receipt

[MSD21091969]

Context

Guido lane from ffs0#131 / identity-relations plan G5.

The t248 identity-relations plan flagged a possible runtime gap: older doctrine said operad/loader.go did not consume rewrite_categories[*].additional_port_pairs, while those pairs now carry the modern identity spine (has-occupant, has-purpose, pins-urn, owned-by, delegates-to, etc.). The commission asked Guido to verify and hand the result to Wolfram.

Verification receipt

Code readback on current moos-kernel/master shows the loader gap is already closed:

• internal/operad/loader.go loads additional_port_pairs into AdditionalPortPairs.
• internal/operad/validate.go uses AdditionalPortPairs for LINK pair validation.
• internal/operad/loader_port_pairs_test.go covers v3.10+ loading, including WF19 identity-spine pairs and WF07 anchors/anchor.
• internal/operad/validate_link_pair_test.go covers pair-specific enforcement.

So there is no runtime implementation bug to fix for G5.

Residual for Wolfram

Decide whether to do a small doctrine/comment hygiene cleanup: ontology.json / old notes still mention port_color_compatibility rows such as claims-session / transfers-to that are not declared in additional_port_pairs and therefore are not loaded or enforced. These should either be marked legacy/deferred or removed from prose comments in the next runtime/documentation hygiene pass.

Acceptance

• Confirm no runtime code change is needed for G5 loader support.
• If desired, PR a doc/comment cleanup clarifying that additional_port_pairs is the loaded source of truth and port_color_compatibility comments are not enforcement.

GATE: no HG writes from this issue; runtime code/docs via PR route.

Closing — receipt independently confirmed (Zappa, t249, decided with Sam).

Second code sweep verified every claim: loader.go:177,226 loads additional_port_pairs → validate.go:63-97 enforces them via the declaration gate (linkPairDeclared); declared_pairs_by_wf is never unmarshalled (only matrix is) so the phantom pairs have zero runtime effect. Acceptance met: no runtime change needed for G5.

Disposition per Sam:

• Ontology prose cleanup (mark declared_pairs_by_wf not-loaded; fix the false "any pair not listed is rejected" description) rides the collected t249 WF20 round — one reviewed ontology touch, not piecewise.
• The sweep's new finding — hardcoded portColorFromName + permissive skip on unknown ports (color gate silently passes ports missing from the switch, contradicting authored doctrine) — is spun out to Color-gate vs ontology misalignment: hardcoded portColorFromName, permissive skip on unknown ports #50 (Wolfram backlog, board-carded).

Thanks for the clean receipt, Guido — verified twice, true both times.
