graph_build_definition now reduces the recorded DAG before packing the fanin CSR. An edge p->i is dropped when p is already an ancestor of i through another kept producer of the same row: HBG edges carry ordering only (Graph Execution never reclaims node slots mid-run), so reachability is the whole behavior contract and the reduced graph admits exactly the same executions. One forward pass over the topologically-ordered recording maintains two bitmaps per node: ancestors (the node's ancestor closure over the reduced graph) and keep (surviving direct producers). Within a row the entries are decided in reverse order so the deepest producer is kept first and its closure marks the row's transitive shortcuts; survivors are emitted in recording order. O(V*E/64) with 2x128 KiB host scratch at the 1024-node cap, paid once per Definition build and amortized by the Definition cache. Allocation failure falls back to packing the unreduced edge set. The reduction is a projection for the packed image only: the recording itself is untouched, so deps.json keeps the as-constructed edge set (same convention the TMR side documents in docs/dfx/dep-gen.md) and the dep_gen differential gate is unaffected. This is the host-resident DAG reduction the TMR 1-hop investigation deferred - arbitrary depth, no per-submit cost, no slot-identity proof burden because node indices in a recording are stable. Mirrored identically across a2a3 and a5. The unit tests record small DAGs through the real graph_begin/submit/graph_end path and assert the packed CSR: diamond shortcut dropped, three-hop shortcut dropped (out of TMR's 1-hop reach), single-producer row kept, root count unchanged, and the fanin/fanout CSR invariants bind_graph_topology enforces on the device. Design doc: docs/design/hbg-transitive-reduction.md.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds exact host-side transitive reduction during packed Definition construction. It preserves recorded graph data and ChangesHost-build-graph transitive reduction
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change preserves graph behavior but can leave redundant dependency edges in some valid recording orders, reducing the intended device-side efficiency gains; merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up to make the reduction exact and keep exception handling explicit.

IndependentProducersAreKeptdoes not test independent producers.The case records
consumer_inputs = {3}, so the consumer has exactly one producer. The assertionsize() == 1holds for any implementation and proves nothing about two independent producers surviving.Give the consumer two producers that do not reach each other, then assert both remain. The current helper builds one chain, so this needs a second independent root, for example a producer whose only input is the boundary tensor.

The reduction depends on recording order, so it is not exact. Both orchestrators decide drops while walking a row in reverse recording order. The exact reduction requires descending producer index (reverse topological order). A row recorded as [2, 0] over the chain 0 -> 1 -> 2 keeps the redundant 0 -> i edge. The packed image stays valid, so this is a missed reduction, not a wrong graph.

Summary
graph_build_definitionnow runs an exact transitive reduction on the recorded task DAG before packing the fanin CSR. An edgep→iis dropped whenpis already an ancestor ofithrough another kept producer of the same row.This is the host-resident DAG reduction the TMR 1-hop investigation (
docs/investigations/2026-08-tmr-transitive-reduction-depth.md) deferred to hbg: on the host the whole graph exists at build time, so the reduction is arbitrary depth, costs nothing per submit, and needs none of the slot-identity proofs TMR required (node indices in a recording are stable — slots are never reclaimed).Why it is correct
HBG edges carry ordering only — Graph Execution is whole-graph-resident (
on_task_releaseis gone; host-orch never reclaims node slots on device), so there is no per-edge resource-lifetime semantic. Reachability is the whole behavior contract; the reduced graph admits exactly the same executions.Algorithm
One forward pass over the topologically-ordered recording (the CSR fill already rejects
producer >= consumer, so no topo-sort):ancestors(ancestor closure over the reduced graph) andkeep(surviving direct producers) — separate because the closure contains transitive ancestors that never were direct edgesWhat it does not touch
GraphRecordingitself —deps.jsonkeeps the as-constructed edge set (same convention as the TMR side,docs/dfx/dep-gen.md), and the dep_gen differential gate is unaffectedfanout_offsets/fanout_indicesare pure derived data (only validated bybind_graph_topology, no scheduler reader — the wake machinery walks fanin viagraph_first_unmet_producer), rebuilt from the reduced edgesDevice-side payoff
Every redundant edge today lengthens
