# Phase 70-A: Relay Runtime Guard
**Status**: Implementation Phase
**Date**: 2025-12-13
---
## Overview
Phase 66 enabled multihop relay acceptance at the analysis/plan layer (`plan_to_p2_inputs_with_relay` / `plan_to_p3_inputs_with_relay`). However, the **runtime lowering path** (actual MIR generation) does not yet support multihop execution.
This phase establishes a **Fail-Fast boundary** with a standardized error tag to clearly indicate "analysis OK, runtime not yet supported."
---
## Current State
| Layer | Multihop Support | Status |
|-------|-----------------|--------|
| `plan_to_p2_inputs_with_relay` | ✅ Accepts | Phase 66 complete |
| `plan_to_p3_inputs_with_relay` | ✅ Accepts | Phase 66 complete |
| **P3 runtime lowering** | ❌ Rejects | Phase 70-A guard |
| P2 runtime lowering | ❌ Not integrated | Future |
---
## Fail-Fast Tag
**Standard Tag**: `[ownership/relay:runtime_unsupported]`
When multihop relay (`relay_path.len() > 1`) is detected at runtime:
```
[ownership/relay:runtime_unsupported] Multihop relay not executable yet: var='sum', owner=ScopeId(0), relay_path=[ScopeId(2), ScopeId(1)]
```
**Diagnostic fields**:
- Variable name being relayed
- Owner scope ID
- Relay path (inner → outer)
- Relay path length
---
## Implementation Location
**File**: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/pattern3_with_if_phi.rs`
**Function**: `check_ownership_plan_consistency()`
**Behavior**: On `relay_path.len() > 1`, return `Err` with standardized tag.
---
## Release Conditions (Phase 70-B+)
The `[ownership/relay:runtime_unsupported]` guard can be removed when:
1. **Exit PHI merge** implemented at owner scope
2. **Boundary carrier propagation** for intermediate scopes
3. **Integration tests** passing for 3+ layer nested loops
4. **No regression** in existing Pattern3 tests
---
## Test Coverage
**Test**: `test_phase70a_multihop_relay_runtime_unsupported_tag`
Verifies:
- 3-layer nested loop AST (L1 owns `sum`, L3 writes `sum`)
- Runtime path returns `Err`
- Error message contains `[ownership/relay:runtime_unsupported]`
