+# doc-engine coverage baseline
+
+Measured by `tools/test-doc-engine-coverage.sh`, which runs the crate's
+unit tests plus `tests/materialize.rs` under `-C instrument-coverage` in
+a fully isolated, self-deleting environment (own toolchain, own cargo
+home, everything under one `mktemp` directory removed by a shell trap).
+
+Baseline (2026-08-17, toolchain 1.97.1, llvm-cov **lines** percent):
+
+| File | Lines | Regions | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `src/controller.rs` | 98.68% | 93.45% | remaining lines are defensive: batch-compensation arms that only fire on mid-batch op-application failure |
+| `src/crdt/document.rs` | 97.63% | 95.13% | remaining arms are split-replay RGA link guards and CRDT-tolerance skips (ops whose anchors never arrive) |
+| `src/crdt/operations.rs` | 100% | 100% | |
+| `src/crdt/version_vector.rs` | 100% | 100% | |
+| `src/history.rs` | 92.00% | 88.34% | the honest floor: `Compensation::inverse` arms unreachable through the public controller API (undo/redo expand groups before materializing) plus one `unreachable!` |
+| `src/projection/text.rs` | 100% | 94.19% | |
+| **TOTAL** | **99.00%** | **97.54%** | |
+
+`src/lib.rs`, `src/session.rs`, `src/crdt/mod.rs` and `src/projection/mod.rs`
+carry no executable lines (module roots and re-exports), so the report
+never lists them and the floor table deliberately has no entries for
+them — a floor on an unmeasured file fails the run loudly, by design.
+
+## What is NOT measured, and why
+
+- **Widget-level consumers.** This crate is UI-free by construction
+  (serde + serde_json only); the `CrdtDocEditor` surface in nigig-build
+  is exercised by its own 800+-test lib suite, not here. Reading
+  99% as "the doc feature is 99% tested" would be wrong in exactly the
+  way the CAD baseline warns about: it is the *engine* that is.
+- **Defensive CRDT arms.** A handful of match arms exist so that ops
+  arriving before their anchors (or after duplicate ids) degrade
+  silently instead of corrupting order. Some are constructible only by
+  forging op ids below the controller API; they are reported as
+  uncovered rather than hidden.
+
+## Floors
+
+Total 96% lines; per-file floors a couple of points under the table
+above, enforced by the script and the `coverage` job in
+`.forgejo/workflows/doc-engine.yml`. Lowering a floor is a reviewable
+edit to the script, not something to do quietly.
+
+## Regenerating
+
+```
+./tools/test-doc-engine-coverage.sh                 # gated run
+KEEP_COVERAGE=1 ./tools/test-doc-engine-coverage.sh # keeps the env and writes
+                                                    # an uncovered-line listing

+## Engine source coverage (gated)
+
+The doc engine now has what the CAD engine got first: a measured,
+gated coverage number instead of an assertion.
+`tools/test-doc-engine-coverage.sh` runs the crate's unit tests plus
+`tests/materialize.rs` under `-C instrument-coverage` in an isolated,
+self-deleting environment and enforces a total floor (96% lines)
+against a measured baseline of 99.00% (97.54% regions), with per-file
+floors so losing one module's tests cannot hide inside the total. The
+harness needed no shim layer: doc-engine is UI-free (serde +
+serde_json), which is also why the whole run takes seconds. The run
+report named real gaps, closed in the same tranche: offset-addressed
+text insert/delete, block alignment materialization, batched cell
+group undo/redo, the `#MP_CRDT_V1` wire round trip, and
+toggle/batch-reject guards. Two assertions came back inverted and were
+pinned as DOCUMENTED behavior instead: writes and style ops
+addressed to blocks or cells whose anchors have not arrived are
+accepted into the op log (CRDT store tolerance — they must merge when
+the anchor lands) while conjuring no blocks, rows or columns into the
+rendered document. The baseline, the
+exclusions, and what the number does not mean live in
+`crates/apps/doc/doc-engine/COVERAGE.md`; the gate runs in the
+doc-engine workflow.

+# WHAT THIS COVERS
+# ----------------
+# `doc-engine` is the pure engine the doc workspace builds on: the CRDT
+# document/order core, the projection (styled runs, tables, nodes), the
+# controller op surface, undo/redo history and the session wire format.
+# It is dependency-free beyond serde + serde_json, so unlike nigig-build
+# it can be instrumented DIRECTLY -- no host-only shim crate, no Makepad
+# checkout, no native packages. The harness copies the crate (sources
+# plus tests/materialize.rs, the real integration suite) into a scratch
+# directory outside the workspace and runs it under
+# -C instrument-coverage.
+#
+# WHAT IT EXCLUDES FROM THE REPORT (step 4 of the coverage plan)
+#   - the cargo registry / git dirs -- third-party code
+#   - the rustc sysroot               -- std
+# There is no Makepad generated code and no platform startup in this
+# crate at all: it is a plain `lib` target, which is exactly why it can
+# be measured without the CAD-style shim gymnastics.
