bpo-29026: Clarify documentation of time.time (#34)
399f023
* bpo-29026: Clarity documentation of time.time

Clarify the documentation of time.time by more
precisely defining what is meant by "seconds since
the epoch" on most platforms. Additionally explain
how gmtime and localtime may be used to extract
calendar components and convert to a more common
date format.

* bpo-29026: Minor improvements for time.time doc

* bpo-29026: Consistency fixes for time.time doc

W-PERF Class A F-1: codegen-time gate-correctness instrumentation
315bdce
Phase B prereq item 4 per supervisor 06:27:29Z dispatch + theologian
06:28:41Z DRAFT + 06:29:45Z (B)-confirm.  Closes the catch-class gap
that exposed Phase A 5830b49 inert-scaffolding via librarian
00:04:37Z grep at frame_asm_c.c:527-532 (gate_passes_full_inline
computed then (void)-cast).  Pythia python#412/python#415/python#417 named the same
class repeatedly: "scaffolding-tier code can fail correctness while
passing every behavioural test."

F-1 attaches two pydebug/env-gated falsifiers to the existing gate
computation, both production-zero-overhead:

F-1.a oracle agreement (pydebug-only):
  assert(gate_passes_full_inline
         == frame_asm_c_full_inline_gate_oracle(hir_func));
The oracle in the new file Python/jit/codegen/frame_asm_c_oracle.c
re-derives the 4-condition predicate from theologian's design intent
(lightweight + non-generator + numCellvars==0 + numFreevars==0)
without re-reading the production gate.  Structural independence:

  - separate translation unit
  - reverse condition ordering (cellvars/freevars first; frame mode
    middle; generator last)
  - jit_get_config()->frame_mode lookup against JIT_FRAME_LIGHTWEIGHT
    enum vs. production's jit_hir_func_get_frame_mode +
    FRAME_MODE_LIGHTWEIGHT local #define
  - co_flags & {ASYNC_GENERATOR|COROUTINE|GENERATOR|ITERABLE_COROUTINE}
    bitmask spelled out in-line vs. production's jit_hir_func_is_gen
  - sequence of early-exit returns vs. &&-chained boolean compose

Production builds compile out the assert; the oracle then has no
caller and the linker may strip it.

F-1.b population coverage (env-gated PYTHONJITGATESTATS=1, both
build modes):
  per-JIT-compile fprintf to stderr with verdict + running true/false
  totals + each input field + qualname.  A single Phoenix smoke run
  produces a distribution that verifies >0 functions take each
  branch and shows which input decided each false case.

F-1.c sample test cases for theologian review post-build:
  - simple identity (lambda x: x): gate MUST be true
  - closure factory (def outer(): x=1; def inner(): return x; return
    inner): outer gate MUST be false (cellvars), inner gate MUST be
    false (freevars)
  - simple generator (def g(): yield 1): gate MUST be false (non-gen
    requirement fails)

F-1.d cross-arch: same input → same boolean on x86 and ARM64; per-
codepath counter distribution must match cross-arch within ±1.

Q1 oracle scope clarified pre-implementation per
[feedback_query_before_pivot]: gate is the 4 codegen-time
conditions only (theologian 06:29:45Z (B)-confirm); hasRtfsFunction
stays a runtime branch in Phase B (F0 measures its true-rate).

Auth chain: supervisor 06:27:29Z F-1 dispatch; theologian 06:28:41Z
F-1 design DRAFT + 06:29:45Z scope clarification; F-1 PASS gates F0
runtime branch-rate per supervisor 06:27:29Z.

Removal of F-1 instrumentation per I-F1.4 is a separate post-Phase-B
commit; this commit lands the instrumentation only.
