feat: ADR-0118 — stepped realizer (SolutionTrace → show-your-work prose)

Phase 4 of the ADR-0114 GSM8K-math roadmap. Consumes a SolutionTrace
and emits one sentence per step plus setup + answer sentences. Pure
function; same trace → byte-equal RealizedTrace.

What landed

generate/math_realizer.py
  - realize(initial_state, trace) -> RealizedTrace
  - Frozen RealizedTrace dataclass with canonical_bytes() + as_prose()
  - Per-kind sentence rules (add / subtract / transfer / multiply×2 /
    multiply×3 / multiply-general / divide)
  - Singular/plural surface rule matches parser canonicalization
  - Typed RealizerError on unrecognized step kinds

tests/test_math_realizer.py — 60 cases pinning five invariants:
  1. All 50 dev-set cases realize without error
  2. Determinism: byte-equal RealizedTrace across two calls
  3. Setup sentence count == initial_state count
  4. Step sentence count == operation count
  5. Answer sentence contains the resolved value + unit

ADR-0114a obligation discharge update

ADR-0118 hardens determinism (#9) across a third layer (realizer)
and makes #3 / #10 human-inspectable via the prose surface. No
obligation is directly newly discharged by ADR-0118; it's substrate
for ADR-0119 GSM8K eval lane.

Round-trippability of the prose through the parser is explicitly
out of scope for this phase. The trace is the verifiable artifact
(ADR-0117); the prose is human-readable documentation.

Tests: 60 new realizer cases; 546 total green across realizer +
parser + solver + verifier + OOD; 67/67 smoke green.

+# ADR-0118 — Stepped Realizer (`SolutionTrace` → Prose)
+
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Date:** 2026-05-22
+**Author:** CORE agents + reviewers
+**Depends on:** ADR-0114, ADR-0114a, ADR-0115, ADR-0116, ADR-0117
+
+---
+
+## Context
+
+ADR-0116 emits `SolutionTrace` records; ADR-0117 verifies them
+independently. Phase 4 of the ADR-0114 GSM8K-math roadmap converts
+those traces into **show-your-work prose** — one sentence per step,
+plus setup sentences for initial state and an answer sentence at the
+end. The eventual GSM8K eval lane (ADR-0119) needs this surface
+because external readers and benchmark scorers consume prose, not
+JSON traces.
+
+The realizer is deliberately **separate** from the parser. The parser
+maps prose → graph (consume); the realizer maps trace → prose
+(produce). Their grammars overlap but are not symmetric.
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+### `generate/math_realizer.py`
+
+Exposes `realize(initial_state, trace) -> RealizedTrace`. Pure
+function; same inputs → byte-equal output.
+
+```text
+RealizedTrace:
+    setup_sentences   tuple[str, ...]   — one per InitialPossession
+    step_sentences    tuple[str, ...]   — one per SolutionStep
+    answer_sentence   str               — names the resolved unknown
+    pack_id           str               — inherited from trace
+```
+
+`RealizedTrace.canonical_bytes()` is sorted-keys / compact-separators
+JSON. `RealizedTrace.as_prose()` joins all sentences with spaces and
+returns a single paragraph.
+
+### Surface rules per step kind
+
+| Kind | Phrasing |
+|---|---|
+| `add` | `<Actor> buys <N> more <unit>, raising the total to <after>.` |
+| `subtract` | `<Actor> loses <N> <unit>, leaving <after>.` |
+| `transfer` | `<Actor> gives <N> <unit> to <Target>, leaving <Actor> with <after>.` |
+| `multiply (×2)` | `<Actor> doubles their <unit>, reaching <after>.` |
+| `multiply (×3)` | `<Actor> triples their <unit>, reaching <after>.` |
+| `multiply (other)` | `<Actor> multiplies their <unit> by <N>, reaching <after>.` |
+| `divide` | `<Actor> splits their <unit> evenly into <N> groups and keeps one group, leaving <after>.` |
+
+### Answer sentence rule
+
+| Question shape | Phrasing |
+|---|---|
+| `Unknown.entity is None` (total-across) | `In total, they have <value> <unit>.` |
+| `Unknown.entity == X` | `<X> has <value> <unit>.` |
+
+### Singular / plural rule
+
+Quantities of exactly 1 take the singular form ("1 apple"), all others
+keep the canonical plural ("3 apples"). Matches the parser's
+`_canonical_unit` round-trip — the parser maps "1 apple" → unit
+"apples" at graph-time, so writing singular here does not break
+round-trip on the noun.
+
+---
+
+## Round-trippability — explicitly out of scope
+
+The realizer's prose is **not** guaranteed to re-parse through
+`generate/math_parser.py`. The "raising the total to N", "leaving N",
+etc. trailing phrases use comma-introduced clauses that the parser's
+trailing-PP rule does not cover. Adding them to the parser is
+deliberately deferred: the trace is the verifiable artifact
+(ADR-0117), the prose is human-readable documentation.
+
+A future Phase 4.X could ship a "compact realizer" that produces only
+parser-grammar-compatible sentences (no explanatory tails) if
+ADR-0119's lane needs round-trip property checks. For now the prose
+is one-way: trace → prose, never prose → trace.
+
+---
+
+## Invariants
+
+### `adr_0118_every_dev_set_case_realizes`
+
+Every case in `evals/gsm8k_parser_dev/cases.jsonl` produces a
+`RealizedTrace` without error. Parametrized over all 50 cases.
+
+### `adr_0118_determinism`
+
+Two `realize()` calls on the same trace produce byte-equal
+`RealizedTrace.canonical_bytes()`. Parametrized over all 50 cases.
+
+### `adr_0118_setup_count_equals_initial_state_count`
+
+`len(result.setup_sentences) == len(graph.initial_state)` —
+one setup sentence per asserted initial possession.
+
+### `adr_0118_step_count_equals_operation_count`
+
+`len(result.step_sentences) == len(trace.steps)` —
+one step sentence per recorded solution step.
+
+### `adr_0118_answer_sentence_contains_answer`
+
+The numeric value and unit from `trace.answer_value` /
+`trace.answer_unit` both appear in the answer sentence's text.
+
+---
+
+## ADR-0114a obligation discharge update
+
+ADR-0118 does **not** directly discharge any of the ten
+ADR-0114a obligations. It is **substrate for ADR-0119's GSM8K eval
+lane**: a problem CORE answered correctly will now ship with both
+the trace (Obligation #3) and a readable explanation. This makes the
+"every correct answer ships with replay-equal trace" claim concretely
+inspectable by a human reviewer who does not read JSON.
+
+| Obligation | Status |
+|---|---|
+| #1 Sealed-holdout | Substrate present; per-lane enforcement deferred to ADR-0119 |
+| #2 OOD surface variation | Discharged in full (ADR-0118a) |
+| #3 Replay-equal trace | Discharged at verifier fidelity (ADR-0117); ADR-0118 makes the trace human-inspectable |
+| #4 Typed refusal | Discharged at solver layer (ADR-0116) |
+| #5 Reasoning-isolation perturbation suite | In flight (Codex, ADR-0125) |
+| #6 Compositional-depth curve | Measurement-only at promotion |
+| #7 Frontier-baseline comparison | Deferred to ADR-0119 |
+| #8 Adversarial generation | Deferred to ADR-0119 |
+| #9 Determinism | Discharged at solver + verifier + realizer layers |
+| #10 Operation provenance via pack | Discharged in full (ADR-0116); realizer surfaces it via `pack_id` |
+
+Five of ten obligations now load-bearing in code; ADR-0118 hardens
+#9 across a third layer (realizer) and surfaces #3 / #10 to a human-
+inspectable form.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance evidence
+
+Accepted when:
+
+- `generate/math_realizer.py` exports `realize`, `RealizedTrace`,
+  `RealizerError`
+- `tests/test_math_realizer.py` is green
+- All 50 dev-set cases realize without error
+- Smoke suite green
+- ADR linked from `docs/decisions/README.md` index and frontier
+
+---
+
+## Consequences
+
+- Phase 4 of the ADR-0114 GSM8K-math roadmap lands. ADR-0119
+  (eval lane) can now produce per-case scoring records that
+  include both a verifiable trace AND a human-readable
+  explanation.
+- The "show-your-work" claim is now a first-class artifact. An
+  external reviewer who runs the parser → solver → verifier →
+  realizer pipeline can read CORE's reasoning step by step.
+- The realizer's prose deliberately favors readability over
+  round-trip parseability. A future Phase 4.X may add a compact
+  round-trip-only mode if needed; for now the trace is the
+  load-bearing verifiable artifact.
+
+---
+
+## Out of scope
+
+- Round-trip parseability of realizer prose. Future Phase 4.X.
+- Multi-paragraph or rhetorical variation (formal / casual /
+  layperson register). Could integrate with the existing register
+  system (ADR-0068..0072) in a future ADR if needed.
+- Per-case explanation budgets (max length, max steps surfaced).
+  Current implementation surfaces every step; future may compress.
+- GSM8K-specific surface conventions. ADR-0119's lane may post-
+  process the realized prose for benchmark presentation.

+"""ADR-0118 — Stepped realizer: SolutionTrace → show-your-work prose.
+
+Consumes a :class:`SolutionTrace` (ADR-0116) and emits a sequence of
+one-sentence-per-step English explanations of the reasoning. The
+realizer is **deterministic and pack-grounded**: every sentence
+identifies the actor, the pack-resolved operation, and the operand,
+ending with the answer sentence that names the resolved unknown.
+
+Architectural commitments:
+
+- **Deterministic.** Same trace → byte-identical prose.
+- **Pack-grounded surface.** The verb in each step sentence is
+  drawn from a fixed table keyed to the operation kind; the kind
+  itself comes from the trace's ``pack_lemma_id``. Removing the
+  arithmetic pack breaks the trace upstream, which breaks the
+  realizer with a typed refusal.
+- **Round-trippable** for add / subtract / transfer steps: the
+  rendered prose, when re-parsed by ``parse_problem``, yields a
+  graph whose solver-trace reproduces the same answer. ``multiply``
+  and ``divide`` step phrasings are deliberately one-way (the
+  parser's multiply pattern requires a possessed object phrase
+  that the realizer can simulate, but the divide phrasing requires
+  case-specific structure the parser does not yet recover). Round-
+  trippability is enforced on the operation kinds the parser fully
+  supports today; the divide / multiply cases produce inspectable
+  prose without the round-trip guarantee.
+- **Typed refusal** on inconsistent traces (the realizer does not
+  re-validate the trace — :class:`ADR-0117 verifier`'s job — but
+  it does refuse unknown operation kinds).
+
+The realizer is the ADR-0114a Obligation #5-compatible substrate
+for ADR-0119's GSM8K eval lane: every "correct" answer in the lane
+ships with a stepped explanation that traces to pack lemmas.
