M5b plan: task 03, the model's tags and neutralise

Task 03 is now the tag list and sanitize::neutralise; refuse moves to 04 and flag
to 05. The list is the 33 control and user-defined entries of the model file
straylight's router loads (Ornith-1.5-35B-Q4_K_M.gguf, snapshot 12393612fd4f,
llama-server b10964-b29c606), each checked with /tokenize on 2026-09-26 to be one
token with its id. Review focus 1 is decided by the same measurement: a tag
inside a word is still the token and is neutralised; upper or mixed case, a
zero-width, space or line-feed split, and full-width brackets are not, and are
left as is. Each shape is pinned by a given test.

Checks: the given tests fail before (E0432, no bxcore::sanitize); the reference
passes make gate on titan (rustc and clippy 1.98.1) with 981 tests (963 + 18);
16 mutations of tags.rs, all caught; no failure message prints a tag; /tmp
unchanged around the gate; the task's edits applied to a fresh ref 02 tree give
a tree byte-identical to the reference; no plan or given file holds a tag whole;
given files pass rustfmt and are under 500 lines.

# M5b task 03: the model's tags, and `sanitize::neutralise`
**Branch:** `m5b` (run `git switch m5b`; `git status --short` must be empty, otherwise stop)
**Commit subject:** `bxcore: the model's tags and sanitize::neutralise`
## Read this first: the markup strings
This task is about your own model's chat-template tags: the think tags, the tool-call tags, the
turn markers and the rest. Your model uses these same strings to mark its reasoning and its tool
calls. **If you spell one out, even in your thinking, it ends your reasoning or your turn.** That
stopped M5a task 04 twice. So:
- Every file here builds the tags from pieces (`concat!("<", "/", "think", ">")`), and this task
names them only in words. Call them "the markup strings" if you must refer to them.
- **Do not open** the three given test files (`sanitize_tags.rs`, `sanitize_corpus.rs`,
`support/tags.rs`), and do not work through their cases in your reasoning. You copy them; you
never need to read them. Their failure messages name a case or a token id, never a tag.
- The two functions you write never look at what a tag says: one finds any listed string, the
other rewrites two characters. Write them from their comments.
## Goal
A tag in a fetched page, a user message or a recalled note becomes the model's own token when it
reaches the model, so the text can end its turn and forge a system turn (M5b spec, section 6.2).
This task adds the list of those tags and `neutralise`, which writes each listed tag's angle
brackets as `&lt;` and `&gt;`. The model still reads the tag's name; the tokenizer sees ordinary
characters. `loopd` will call it in a later task; nothing calls it yet.
It adds a module `bxcore::sanitize` with one file, `tags.rs`, given as a skeleton. Later tasks add
`refuse` and `flag` beside it.
| Name | What it is |
|---|---|
| `bxcore::sanitize::Tag` | `pub struct Tag { pub text: &'static str, pub id: u32 }` |
| `bxcore::sanitize::TAGS` | `pub const TAGS: &[Tag]`: the 33 tags, in id order (given, filled in) |
| `bxcore::sanitize::neutralise` | `pub fn neutralise(text: &str) -> std::borrow::Cow<'_, str>` (given) |
| `next_tag` (private) | `fn next_tag(text: &str) -> Option<(&str, &'static Tag, &str)>`: **you write it** |
| `push_escaped` (private) | `fn push_escaped(out: &mut String, tag: &Tag)`: **you write it** |
## Files
- Copy, from `docs/plans/M5b/files/` (the same path under it):
- the skeleton `crates/bxcore/src/sanitize/tags.rs` (you fill two functions in it)
- tests: `crates/bxcore/tests/sanitize_tags.rs`, `crates/bxcore/tests/sanitize_corpus.rs`,
`crates/bxcore/tests/support/tags.rs`
- Create: `crates/bxcore/src/sanitize/mod.rs` (its whole text is below)
- Modify: `crates/bxcore/src/lib.rs`, `docs/implementer-log.md`
## Facts you need
- **Where the list comes from** (measured on straylight, 2026-09-26; you need not check it). The
model file the router loads for `ornith-1.5-35b-a3b` is `Ornith-1.5-35B-Q4_K_M.gguf` (snapshot
`12393612fd4f`), served by llama-server b10964-b29c606. Its vocabulary has 248,320 entries; 27
have the type "control" and 6 "user-defined", and all 33 are tags. The server's `/tokenize`
turns each into exactly one token, with the id in the table. The other 243 special-looking
entries (type "unused") are not parsed as one token and are not listed.
| Ids | The tags, in words |
|---|---|
| 248044 to 248046 | the angle-bar end of text, start of turn, end of turn |
| 248047 to 248052 | the angle-bar object-ref, box and quad markers, each a start and an end |
| 248053 to 248057 | the angle-bar vision start and end, and the vision, image and video pads |
| 248058, 248059 | the opening and closing tool-call tags (user-defined) |
| 248060 to 248065 | the angle-bar fill-in-the-middle prefix, middle, suffix and pad, repo name, file separator |
| 248066, 248067 | the opening and closing tool-response tags (user-defined) |
| 248068, 248069 | the opening and closing think tags (user-defined) |
| 248070, 248071, 248076 | the angle-bar audio start, end and pad |
| 248072 to 248075 | four angle-bracket text-to-speech markers |
The template's other markup (its tools, function and parameter elements) is not a vocabulary
entry: it is ordinary text, not listed, and left alone (a code-work case).
- **Which shapes are neutralised** (review focus 1, measured the same day for all 33 tags; each
row is pinned by the test named):
| Shape | The tag's token? | So | Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| the tag alone, or twice in a row | yes | neutralised | `each_tag_alone_…`, `adjacent_…` |
| inside a word: letters or digits on both sides | yes | neutralised | `a_tag_inside_a_word_…` |
| upper case, or only its first letter upper case | no | left as is | `a_tag_in_another_case_…` |
| split by a zero-width space, joiner, non-joiner, word joiner, byte order mark or soft hyphen | no | left as is | `…_invisible_character_…` |
| split by a space or a line feed; full-width angle brackets | no | left as is | `…_full_width_brackets_…` |
| the neutralised form, or one bracket escaped | no | left as is | `neutralised_text_is_left_as_is` |
So matching is exact, case-sensitive, and anywhere in the text. A zero-width split reaches the
model as ordinary text; memory refuses the invisible character itself (a later task).
- **No tag holds another**, and each is ASCII with one `<` first and one `>` last, so the order of
`TAGS` does not change what matches, and `'<'` is always at a character boundary.
- **`Cow`**: `neutralise` returns `Cow::Borrowed(text)`, the caller's own slice, when nothing
matches, and `Cow::Owned` otherwise. The tests check the borrowed case is the same slice.
- The calls you need, all in the standard library:
| Call | Signature, and what it gives |
|---|---|
| `str::match_indices` | `text.match_indices('<')`: an iterator of `(usize, &str)`, the byte offset of each `<` |
| `str::split_at_checked` | `fn split_at_checked(&self, mid: usize) -> Option<(&str, &str)>`: `None` off a boundary |
| `str::starts_with` | `from.starts_with(tag.text) -> bool` |
| `str::get` | `from.get(n..) -> Option<&str>`: the rest after `n` bytes |
| `Iterator::find` | `TAGS.iter().find(…)`, with the closure of the comment: `Option<&'static Tag>` |
| `str::chars`, `String::push_str`, `String::push` | walk a tag's characters; append a `&str` or a `char` |
## The edits, exactly
**E1.** Create `crates/bxcore/src/sanitize/mod.rs` with exactly this text (one newline at the end):
```rust
//! The sanitizer (M5b spec, section 6): what is done to text from outside before it reaches the
//! model or memory. Neutralising the model's chat-template tags (6.2) is in `tags`.
mod tags;
pub use tags::{TAGS, Tag, neutralise};
```
**E2.** In `crates/bxcore/src/lib.rs`, the lines
```rust
pub mod memory;
#[cfg(feature = "secrets")]
```
become
```rust
pub mod memory;
pub mod sanitize;
#[cfg(feature = "secrets")]
```
Nothing else in `lib.rs` changes.
## Steps
- [ ] **1. Copy the given tests.** From the repository root, four commands:
```sh
mkdir -p crates/bxcore/tests/support crates/bxcore/src/sanitize
cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/bxcore/tests/sanitize_tags.rs crates/bxcore/tests/
cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/bxcore/tests/sanitize_corpus.rs crates/bxcore/tests/
cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/bxcore/tests/support/tags.rs crates/bxcore/tests/support/
```
- [ ] **2. See them fail.** `cargo test -p bxcore --test sanitize_tags --test sanitize_corpus`:
neither compiles, each with one error `E0432`, unresolved import `bxcore::sanitize`.
- [ ] **3. The module.** Copy the skeleton, then make edits E1 and E2:
```sh
cp docs/plans/M5b/files/crates/bxcore/src/sanitize/tags.rs crates/bxcore/src/sanitize/
```
`cargo test -p bxcore --test sanitize_tags --test sanitize_corpus --no-fail-fast` now compiles
(warnings about unused variables in the two unfilled functions are expected). In
`sanitize_tags`, 3 pass and 12 fail; in `sanitize_corpus`, 3 fail. Every failure is
`not yet implemented`.
- [ ] **4. Fill `push_escaped`**, from its comment. `cargo check -p bxcore`.
- [ ] **5. Fill `next_tag`**, from its comment. `cargo check -p bxcore`. Change nothing else in
`tags.rs`: not `TAGS`, not the macros, not `neutralise`.
- [ ] **6. See them pass.** The command of step 3: `sanitize_tags` 15 passed, `sanitize_corpus` 3
passed.
- [ ] **7. Run the gate.** `cargo fmt --all`, then `make gate`, with a shell timeout of 600000 ms.
Expected last line: `gate: ok`, with 981 tests: 963 before this task, plus 15 in
`sanitize_tags.rs` and 3 in `sanitize_corpus.rs`.
- [ ] **8. Log and commit.** `git status --short` lists `crates/bxcore/src/lib.rs` as modified and
four new entries (`crates/bxcore/src/sanitize/`, the two test files, `tests/support/tags.rs`)
besides your log. Stage with
`git add crates/bxcore docs/implementer-log.md Cargo.lock`, then commit as `AGENTS.md` says.
`Cargo.lock` does not change in this task; the `git add` is harmless.
## Done when
- `make gate` prints `gate: ok` with 981 tests.
- `git diff HEAD~1 --stat` lists only `crates/bxcore/src/lib.rs`, the five new files under
`crates/bxcore/`, and `docs/implementer-log.md`.
## Stop and report if
- The quoted "before" block of E2 is not in `lib.rs` exactly as shown, or is there more than once.
- Step 2 or 3 shows a different result: another error, or other counts.
- After step 6 a test fails although both functions follow their comments. Do not open the test
to find out why, do not change a test or `TAGS`: stop, and give the failing tests' names.
- A test outside `bxcore` fails in the gate: check once whether it fails without your change, then
stop and report both results.
- The gate passes with a count other than 981.
- A comment in the skeleton does not fit the code under it. Quote it and stop.
