a per-target declaration that stays falsifiable

 that cannot be built in any openkal graph, each with its reason; a member that
 fails is measured and published, not excluded.
 
+`[not-portable.<member>]` declares one TARGET of one member unbuildable by
+construction, with the reason. It exists because `[excluded]` is whole-member
+and some members are neither: `cmp-module` runs on `x86_64-windows-gnu` and
+cannot build on `x86_64-linux-gnu`, because asio's `detail/config.hpp`
+includes `<linux/version.h>` whenever `__linux__` is defined, outside every
+`ASIO_DISABLE_*` guard. Excluding the member outright would discard a result
+that is true in order to hide one that is also true.
+
+**The bar is that no manifest key reaches it.** Upstream source asking in the
+preprocessor qualifies; a generated configuration header this index writes
+does not, and belongs in the recipe instead. `curl`'s `linux/tcp.h` is the
+second kind — `#define HAVE_LINUX_TCP_H 1` inside `#if defined(__linux__)` in
+`pkgs/c/compat.curl.lua`, which reads a correct fact about the kernel as a
+claim about which userspace headers are installed.
+
+**The cell is measured anyway, and `compat.py check` fails if it builds.** A
+declaration that takes a cell out of the figure on the strength of a sentence
+has to stay falsifiable; one that nothing can contradict is a permanent
+excuse. The cost is a build that was already being paid for before the
+declaration existed.
+
+### curl's two failures have two different causes
+
+Both are recipe defects, and neither is the same defect:
+
+| target | first diagnostic | cause |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `x86_64-linux-gnu` | `lib/setopt.c:31: 'linux/tcp.h' file not found` | `#define HAVE_LINUX_TCP_H 1` inside `#if defined(__linux__)`. The kernel IS Linux, so the predicate is right; what is wrong is reading it as "glibc's userspace headers are installed". The honest test is `__has_include(<linux/tcp.h>)`. The same block also asserts `HAVE_GLIBC_STRERROR_R`, which is false over musl. |
+| `x86_64-windows-gnu` | `curl_setup.h:591: "too small curl_off_t"` | The recipe's `windows` branch omits `HAVE_CONFIG_H` so that `curl_setup.h` reaches the checked-in `lib/config-win32.h`, and links `-lws2_32` with Schannel. Over openkal that target presents POSIX and is **LP64**, while `config-win32.h` is written for LLP64 and the Win32 API. |
+
+**The second is the interesting one: the recipe branches on the PLATFORM where
+the question is about the C ENVIRONMENT.** Those two agreed on every target
+this index had until openkal presented POSIX on Windows, and mcpp has the
+predicate for the question actually being asked — `cfg(c-abi = "musl")`
+(mcpp docs/22, "Adaptation To The Resolved Target Side"). Selecting the
+generated POSIX configuration there, rather than the checked-in Win32 one, is
+the shape; it also needs this index's OpenSSL over the same environment, so
+it is a larger change than the first and is not folded into it.

+
+**门槛是「没有任何清单键伸得进去」。** 上游源码在预处理期发问,算;本索引自己生成的配置头,不算,那属于配方。`curl` 的 `linux/tcp.h` 就是后者——`pkgs/c/compat.curl.lua` 在 `#if defined(__linux__)` 里写了 `#define HAVE_LINUX_TCP_H 1`,把一个关于内核的正确事实读成了关于「装了哪些 userspace 头」的断言。
+
+**这个格子照常测量,而 `compat.py check` 在它构建成功时会红。** 一条凭一句话把格子移出统计的声明必须保持**可证伪**;没有任何东西能反驳的声明就是一张永久豁免。代价是一次在声明存在之前本来就要付的构建。
+
+### curl 的两条失败是两个不同的真因
+
+两条都是配方缺陷,而且不是同一个缺陷:
+
+| 目标 | 首条诊断 | 真因 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `x86_64-linux-gnu` | `lib/setopt.c:31: 'linux/tcp.h' file not found` | `#if defined(__linux__)` 里写死了 `#define HAVE_LINUX_TCP_H 1`。内核**确实**是 Linux,谓词没错;错的是把它读成「glibc 的 userspace 头都装好了」。诚实的判据是 `__has_include(<linux/tcp.h>)`。同一个块里还有 `HAVE_GLIBC_STRERROR_R`,在 musl 上它是假的。 |
+| `x86_64-windows-gnu` | `curl_setup.h:591: "too small curl_off_t"` | 配方的 `windows` 分支**有意**不定义 `HAVE_CONFIG_H`,好让 `curl_setup.h` 去取仓库里checked-in 的 `lib/config-win32.h`,并链 `-lws2_32` 走 Schannel。而在 openkal 上,那个目标呈现的是 POSIX 且是 **LP64**,`config-win32.h` 写的是 LLP64 与 Win32 API。 |
+
+**第二条才是有意思的那条:配方按「平台」分支,而问题问的是「C 环境」。** 在 openkal 于 Windows 上呈现 POSIX 之前,这两者在本索引的每一个目标上都同答案。mcpp 有那个真正被问的谓词——`cfg(c-abi = "musl")`(mcpp docs/22「按解析出的目标侧适配」)。在那里改选生成的 POSIX 配置而不是 checked-in 的 Win32 配置,就是它的形状;它还需要本索引的 OpenSSL 跑在同一个环境上,所以比第一条大,不与它合并。

 ## 3. 何时运行
 
 `.github/workflows/openkal-compat.yml` 每周运行、可手动触发,测量全部列出的成员。对 PR,openkal 家族或 `tests/openkal` 变化时测量全部成员,否则测量依赖了被修改描述符的成员。除非启用下文的比较,它不阻止合并。
