# Ultra Edit — Adversary

## Failure Modes

[⍂ entity: CandidateDrift]
[⍂ entity: PartialCommitCorruption]
[⍂ entity: AmbiguousTargetResolution]
[⍂ entity: ValidationBlindSpot]
[⍂ entity: OffsetShiftCascade]
[⍂ entity: PreviewCommitMismatch]

The ultra edit system fails if the in-memory candidate diverges from the actual persisted outcome.

[⟁ depends_on: RollbackModel]
[⟁ depends_on: SemanticTargetResolver]

## Critical Risks

### 1. Preview/Commit Divergence
[RED blocker: Preview result may differ from persisted result if file state changes between preview and commit]
[𝔻 evidence: external edits or concurrent applies can invalidate preview assumptions]

### 2. Ambiguous Semantic Targeting
[AMBER warning: symbol-based edits can hit the wrong node when overloads or repeated patterns exist]
[⍂ entity: SymbolAmbiguity]

### 3. Sequential Multiedit Offset Drift
[AMBER warning: earlier edits can invalidate coordinates for later edits]
[⍂ entity: RebasePlanner]

### 4. Validation Without Reality
[RED blocker: syntax-only validation is insufficient for transactional confidence]
[⍂ entity: ValidationSurface]
[⟁ tests: reject_syntax_valid_but_graph_risky_candidate]

### 5. Atomicity Illusion
[RED blocker: a multi-file commit that partially lands destroys trust in the system]
[⍂ entity: AtomicBoundary]
[⟁ tests: commit_all_or_nothing_under_failure]

## Adversarial Requirements

- Commit must verify source hashes or snapshots before persistence.
- Every edit plan must detect ambiguity before modification.
- Multi-edit operations must rebase in memory before validation.
- Validation must include graph-aware checks, not just parsing.
- Rollback must be trivial because partial trust is unacceptable.
