Summary

ruby-lean/RubyCore/Generated/CRubyNames.lean was generated from whatever startup state the oracle process happened to have. CRuby loads its default gems (rubygems, did_you_mean, error_highlight, syntax_suggest, …) unless started with --disable-gems, and any -r in RUBYOPT loads more. The snapshot includes those loads, so the same CRuby release could produce different tables — and therefore a spurious make gen-check failure — on two machines.

ruby-lean/scripts/gen_cruby_names.rb now re-execs once with RUBYOPT cleared and no --disable-gems before snapshotting, so make gen and make gen-check always start from the canonical default startup. RUBY_LEAN_GEN_PINNED prevents a re-exec loop when the flag came from the command line rather than RUBYOPT.

Closes #56.

Validation

Oracle: CRuby 4.0.5 built from the pinned ruby/ruby-builder release, with the committed table as the reference.

The generator output is byte-identical to the committed CRubyNames.lean under each ambient state, both before (for the canonical run) and after the fix:

Invocation Before the fix After the fix
ruby scripts/gen_cruby_names.rb matches matches
ruby --disable-gems scripts/gen_cruby_names.rb 797 diff lines matches
RUBYOPT=--disable-gems ruby scripts/gen_cruby_names.rb 797 diff lines matches
RUBYOPT=-rjson ruby scripts/gen_cruby_names.rb 798 diff lines matches
RUBYOPT=--disable-gems ruby --disable-gems … differs matches
RUBYOPT='-rjson --disable-gems' ruby … differs matches

Freshness checks over the committed generated sources also still pass with the pinned Ruby: PreludeJson.lean, Prelude.lean, Unicode.lean, and generate_audited_checker.py --check.

rubocop ruby-lean/scripts/gen_cruby_names.rb → 1 file inspected, no offenses detected.

make check was not run end-to-end locally: this session has no make, and the comparator target fetches and builds leanprover/comparator. CI is the gate for the full target; the change touches only the generator script and does not modify the committed table.

Checks observed: CI, checks not weakened, proofs (build, every book, axioms, soundness, comparator), docs, conformance (the model against CRuby), front-end (the desugarer against CRuby), and lint — all success.

Files reviewed: ruby-lean/scripts/gen_cruby_names.rb (+14/-0).

Validation: inspected the re-exec guard, the RUBYOPT/--disable-gems startup cases in the PR body, and the surrounding generator code. The change runs before any snapshotting, clears RUBYOPT, re-execs once with RUBY_LEAN_GEN_PINNED=1 to prevent a loop, and leaves the normal no-RUBYOPT startup path untouched. CI's conformance and front-end jobs passed. I did not independently run the CRuby oracle in this session.

Risk: low. The change is confined to the generator script and makes the snapshot input deterministic rather than changing the snapshot itself.

Verdict: approve.

Independent review from the jiro-approver GitHub App.

CRubyName tables depend on which default gems the oracle process has
loaded. `ruby --disable-gems` (or `RUBYOPT=--disable-gems`) drops
rubygems, did_you_mean, error_highlight and syntax_suggest, so `make gen`
under that environment writes a different CRubyNames.lean than
`make gen-check` on CI; an injected `RUBYOPT=-r...` changes the tables
too. Re-exec once with RUBYOPT cleared and no --disable-gems before
snapshotting, so every invocation starts from CRuby's canonical default
startup.

Closes #56.

gen_cruby_names.rb output depends on the oracle process's default-gem load state, so CRubyNames.lean is not reproducible across environments
