026919762b docs(plan): WAL group commit — 6 tasks, databasev2 4 part A
Plan for the approved spec. Code-free per the repo convention
(docs/plan/discarded.md:54); the executor writes the code.

- T1 a failed barrier is detected and fatal — one entry point that names
  the operation, errno, WAL path and batch size, then exits. The abort
  path itself stays unexercised and the task says so rather than buying
  coverage with a fault-injection switch
- T2 the barrier moves to the drain point and replies are held; the
  request path stops committing per append. Riskiest task, and its risk
  is one place: the crash legs. Plan says STOP if they fail, do not
  adjust the test
- T3 the inline path takes the same fatal rule but keeps its own barrier,
  with a comment explaining the asymmetry so the next reader does not
  "fix" it. Looks like a no-op; without it the two paths disagree, which
  is the unevenness the spec exists to remove
- T4 prove batches actually form BEFORE measuring the payoff — otherwise
  a win gets attributed to the wrong cause. Also records peak staged
  bytes, settling the no-cap decision with a number
- T5 measure, gate, write it down. If the payoff is absent, say so and
  stop: part B must not start on an unproven premise
- T6 closeout, including the error catalogue — WO_T_IO leaving the write
  path is language-visible and must be written down

Spec corrected while planning: it pointed at durable.s1.seed as the
payoff. Wrong, structurally — worker shards hold no WAL, so a queue only
exists when other shards write, and a serial writer has nothing to batch
with. The real target is durable.sN.mixwrite: 480 ops/s at p99 5888us
against s1's 1023 at p99 664, so adding shards currently makes durable
writing WORSE. That inversion is a better argument for the iteration than
the one the story recorded.

75aedf1216 docs(spec): WAL group commit — databasev2 4 part A
Brainstormed 2026-08-28. The iteration is split: part A batches, part B
(io_uring submission) is deferred until A's measurement says whether the
blocking boundary still dominates.

The story's premise needed correcting first:

- it says "replace fsync-per-commit with io_uring group-commit", but the
  engine commits per STATEMENT — db.c calls wo_wal_commit right after
  every append, all six sites, so each row change is one pwrite + one
  fdatasync
- so two independent wins were being carried as one, and only the second
  needs io_uring. The staging buffer already holds any number of records;
  today it never holds more than one. Part A is mostly deleting calls
- iteration 22's numbers say A is where the payoff is: durable writes
  4460 ops/s, mixwrite 1023 ops/s p99 664us, against 1.28M ops/s reads

Forks settled:

- batch boundary is QUEUE-DRAIN, not the tick this story had recorded: a
  tick adds latency to a lone writer, taxing an idle system to serve a
  busy one. Queue-drain self-tunes and needs no knob
- shard 0 holds each reply envelope instead of sending it, commits once
  when the queue empties, then releases all — so a writer is acked after
  the barrier carrying ITS record, which today is true only because
  every batch has one member
- a failure between "RAM mutated" and "record durable" is a FATAL,
  diagnosed abort. This replaces uneven behaviour that already exists:
  insert rolls back, update and delete do not and say so in a comment
  ("RAM ahead of disk"). Batching would have multiplied that
- consequence stated, not slipped in: WO_T_IO leaves the write path
- no batch cap initially; peak staged bytes is measured so the question
  is settled by a number

One gap disclosed rather than hidden: forcing a real fdatasync failure
needs mount privileges, so the unit test proves the error is DETECTED and
the abort itself stays covered by inspection.

c0b0dbb846 docs: audit all markdown against the code, fix findings, flatten status folders
- README: shipped concurrency/HTTP/WebSockets sat in the roadmap as "not yet
  available"; "no package manager" contradicted [deps]; the deps example
  would not have compiled (the key IS the module name)
- runtime/README: leads with wovm, wo-rt.c demoted to a historical section;
  dropped 2 nonexistent recipes, crates/rt, @gc refcounting, 13 suites -> 18
- employee + log-watcher READMEs claimed "does not compile"; both are gates
- error catalog: +10 emitted codes incl WO-E250, the only diagnostic the
  shipped query surface raises; recorded why the sweep rotted
- language-surface: group-by parses, then the typechecker refuses it
- 00-code-review + 00-link-audit re-run; history kept, not rewritten
- 48 dead Rust-era exploration links de-linked rather than re-pointed (their
  prose names the retired plan by number); successor map -> discarded.md
- 08-project-structure: compiler/plan/ never existed; corpus has 9 dirs, 5 empty
- releasing.md: dropped a --draft step the workflow never had
- new docs/00-doc-audit.md: findings + disposition, incl one row where the
  audit was wrong and the doc it accused was right
- status folders removed: 34 stories flat, status only in frontmatter; 252
  links recomputed from resolved paths; board/board-views/structure retaught
- story 24 -> in-progress, since frontmatter is now the only truth
- new iteration 38: fs mutation verbs + net.connect, the two capability
  families no iteration owned
- new iteration 39: gofiber/fiber v3.5.0 parity study. The ledger called
  CSRF/sessions unblocked by iteration 34's HMAC, but the runtime has no
  source of randomness at all
- linkcheck skips .dev/.superpowers: 0 broken paths, 0 bad anchors

a32550d968 feat: iteration 35 — net seams + the serving slice (fiber-per-connection)
- runtime ids 91-95: net.read_dl/accept_dl/write_dl (per-call deadline,
  nil/false = the EXPECTED timeout; ms<=0 = old behavior bit for bit),
  net.listen_unix (unlink-before-bind, O_NONBLOCK on the listener —
  probe-found: accept4's flag covers accepted sockets only), net.peer
- plane: one-op-per-park stays law — deadlines ride one per-shard
  TIMEOUT tick (sentinel user_data) + post-CQE expiry sweep +
  POLL_REMOVE tombstone; epoll's deadline scan grew the fd-park case;
  fibers POOL instead of freeing mid-run (stale-CQE UAF); plain parks
  zero park_deadline (no stale sleep deadlines)
- probe: all five seams verified on BOTH WO_IO backends (timeout
  timing exact, peer round-trip, unix rebind)
- framework: parse_request grows first_ms/read_ms; serve_conn — the
  keep-alive loop with deadlines where parked idle conns are LEGAL
  (close-when-idle RETIRED); App.handle_conn exposes it; plain serve()
  unchanged for simple apps
- web-app: app-owned accept_dl loop + ConnWorker actor per connection
  (each builds its own App; cross-shard placement rides the DB actor);
  WA_IDLE_MS knob; gate grows to 41 checks — two slow requests served
  in PARALLEL, stalled client evicted at the idle deadline, slow-loris
  torn at the read deadline (400)
- docs: story 35 -> done with banner; SQE/CQE design spec LANDED (was
  the review doc); ledger rows (timeouts/unix/keep-alive/peer), graph
  (NETSEAM cleared, KEEPAL done), builtin-surface rows, runtime
  CODE-LOGIC section, board entry
- battery 13/13 fresh-built

9a9da1b41a docs: spec — chat + actor lifecycle (iteration 24 absorbs 31, 34 resolved)
- one iteration by directive 2026-08-23: call() parks with typed reply
  (envelope kinds 5/6 over the DB-RPC park), mailbox cap 1024 +
  WO_T_ACTOR fail-fast, monitor(addr, msg) one-way, time.after
  one-shot no-cancel
- story 34 resolved: C builtins sha1/sha256/hmac_sha256 over Bytes,
  RFC vectors gated
- WS pure .wo: handler-owned upgrade (ws_accept + hijack sentinel),
  frame codec over Bytes via 36's bitwise, two actors per connection
  (sole-reader + sole-writer)
- chat sample: registry + room actors, python raw-RFC6455 gate —
  cross-shard functional, 1k soak, SIGTERM drain, battery unchanged
- status PROPOSED — awaiting review before the plan

d24c705860 feat: iterations 19 + 17 — Float/Bytes scalars (.wob v5), library kind + internal/
- Float full stack: literals (fraction/exponent; `0..10` still a range), f64
  opcodes 34-41, @table column, WAL bit-exact replay, json fractions in and
  shortest-round-trip out. IEEE-quiet — FDIV never traps where DIV does.
- Bytes: a wo_str with its own class id, so alloc/free/copy are shared but no
  Text builtin accepts one; len/at/slice/eq/concat, base64 both ways, json
  boundary as base64; TEXT_COPY preserves the kind.
- No implicit Int/Float mixing (WO-E201 in the typechecker, not the emitter,
  which picks the opcode from one side and would misread the other).
- One IEEE deviation: float_cmp total order (NaN last, -0.0 == +0.0) for
  indexes and order-by, keys canonicalized to match. `?Float` nil is a
  reserved quiet NaN — the zero word is +0.0, WO_NIL_SCALAR's bits are -2.0.
- Renderer prefers fixed over exponential in 1e-6..1e21: pure shortest makes
  a price of 900.0 read `9e+02`. One renderer for interp/json/float_to_text.
- Fixed en route: lexer double-counted the leading digit; is_scalar_shaped
  took Float/Bytes as Int-shaped; Bytes ownership needed a shared heap-scalar
  predicate or temps never dropped; order-by bit-compared negatives backwards.
- Iteration 17: `kind = "library"` (absent = program; bad value = WO-E109),
  entry-less check mode retiring the `--emit` workaround, Go's `internal/` as
  WO-E108 at the consumer's `use`. Driver-only; VM/.wob/GC untouched.
- Framework reorg: internal/{parse,serve}.wo; http/form.wo split out to keep
  media_type/form_values public (parse.wo had grown public surface).
- Docs: link audit (97 -> 88 broken, conflict markers resolved, 2 duplicate
  stories removed), 00-code-review verified 26/27, iterations re-sequenced.
- Also carries the pre-staged pub(read)/using/#if work from the index.
- Gates: corpus 103/0, test_wal 156/0, web-app 26/0, oop-accept ALL MET.

5521d21a84 docs: pending iterations renumbered by dependency + priority
- developer directive: pending iteration IDs now ARE the priority order;
  LANDED iterations keep historical numbers (code comments and commit
  history cite them — records, not a queue); 8/11 (the half-landed
  arc), 17 (parked, artifacts on a branch), 18 (next, artifacts named)
  also frozen
- mapping (recorded in 00-story): 19<-20 Float+Bytes, 20<-9c attach,
  21<-9d keypair, 22<-9e benchmarks, 23<-9f io_uring WAL, 24<-19 chat,
  25<-10 services, 26<-12 blue-green, 27<-9g query corpus,
  28<-14 skillhost, 29<-13 metaprogramming
- 11 story files renamed; every doc reference re-numbered (word-boundary
  sweep for the lettered 9x ids, phrase-level for numeric ones); the
  iterations table rewritten with Seq == priority and "(was N)" notes;
  story-scoped link check: zero broken
- merge-recovery folded in: the partial master merge had dropped the
  chat story, the fibers exploration note, the arc spec+plan, the
  framework-v2 plan, and the iteration-17 spec+plan — all restored from
  their branches and renumbered consistently

976ccda225 docs: web framework + deps design — spec + iterations 15/16
Brainstorm outcome (forks locked with the developer):
- TLS: proxy-terminated (nginx/caddy gives browsers TLS+ALPN+h2; the
  framework speaks HTTP/1.1 behind it) — zero TLS in the toolchain, no
  doctrine fight; homegrown TLS refused outright.
- Dependencies: a real mini package manager — wo.toml [deps] with exact-rev
  git deps, wo.lock, .wo-deps cache, `use <dep>` as a module root; fetch by
  shelling to the git binary (no network code in woc); flat-only v1.
- HTTP/2: v1 is HTTP/1.1 keep-alive; h2c is the parked successor behind
  iterations 8/9f/11 (multiplexing needs a scheduler to pay off); the
  bytes/buffer type rides with it, not v1.
- Handler model: no function values by doctrine, so Handler/Middleware are
  structural interfaces (ICALL dispatch, WO-E205-checked); middleware returns
  ?Resp and rides the shipped ?T narrowing.
- Incubation: framework at docs/examples/writeonce-framework/, consuming
  storefront at docs/examples/web-app/ importing it THROUGH [deps] — the
  sample exercises fetch -> lock -> build -> serve -> durable-restart.
- Iteration 10 relationship: service blocks later LOWER ONTO this library.

Files: specs/2026-08-18-web-framework-design.md (A deps normative, B
framework normative, C h2c parked); stories 15-deps-package-manager.md +
16-web-framework.md; roadmap + board rows.

28485a271c docs: iteration 7b migration — amend the normative docs (Phase 4)
The spec's §8 migration table, applied:

- 00-principles.md P3: "@gc is a per-class opt-in, reference-counted" ->
  GC-ness is inferred; incremental per-shard mark-sweep in budgeted slices;
  still no global pause by construction.
- OOP spec: decision-table GC row -> inferred (hybrid rule named); §3 rule 5
  -> traced classes alias freely, which classes is inferred; §4 memory model
  -> the RC + Bacon-Rajan paragraph replaced by tracing (snapshot roots,
  Yuasa barrier, born-black, budgeted slices); header rc comment -> union'd
  sweep link; mixing rule restated for tracing.
- 00-wob-format.md: header says version 4; opcodes 27-28 -> reserved (loader
  rejects); the owned-temporary rule's @gc exclusion restated for tracing.
- 08-builtin-surface.md: the push RC_INC special case and the set(m,k,v)
  retention gap DELETED — neither exists without RC; the corpus cycle is
  collected by tracing.
- story 07b: status -> LANDED 2026-08-18 (with the historical note kept);
  board: 7b row ✅ (supersedes iteration 2's RC memory model), pending row
  removed.
- gc-cycle README: Phase 3 flipped to landed (the ring runs, is reclaimed,
  ASan-clean; the ?Node RC_DEC-on-nil trap no longer exists); the barrier
  prose corrected to the as-built design (snapshot-at-beginning + deletion
  barrier + born-black, not per-slice root re-reads).
- plan 2026-08-18: all checkboxes ticked + a completion banner recording the
  four deviations from the plan as written.

(Error catalog was already amended with the keyword-removal commit: WO-E104
added, WO-W201 retired.)

1749440351 docs: borrow/GC analysis for the database engine, into the iterations
- 9b spec gains section 6 "Ownership, borrows, and GC across the
  engine boundary": two one-way copy gates (no VM pointer enters a
  row, everything a select returns is copied out), so the collector
  never traces engine memory and the engine never touches refcounts
- row views are borrows WITHOUT a runtime net: rows share the VM's
  field encoding but not its header, so no borrow word backs them --
  the compile-time escape rule is load-bearing alone
- cursor stability settled: scans materialize their id list before
  the body, row updates through the view stay legal (raise mode
  updates an indexed column mid-scan and is the proving fixture),
  insert/delete on a table with an open cursor is a new WO-E5xx
- GC-pause interaction recorded: collector runs between statements,
  a long scan delays slices -- accepted, documented
- iteration-7b ordering constraint: GC inference must classify before
  table-field validation, diagnostic names the inference reason --
  noted in 7b story, iteration-9 plan constraints, 9b plan tasks

5943bf6890 docs: iteration 9b spec + plan — @table, relations, query (employee)
- spec settles 9b's three forks: SQL/Cypher layer superseded as the
  program surface (design history + wo-db engine-semantics reference);
  comprehension syntax desugared at compile time (no function values);
  System.Linq = operator vocabulary + edge cases, PostgreSQL = execution
  + integrity vocabulary (both references surveyed 2026-08-15)
- aggregate semantics normative: count/sum total 0 on empty, avg/min/max
  are ?T with nil (empty is data, not a fault); nil skipped; sum wraps
  like language arithmetic; GroupBy lowers as group-and-reduce
  (AggregateBy shape), transition/finalize ABI from nodeAgg
- relations: ref = FK with direct-index-probe check (nil passes,
  unchanged-key skips), backlink = secondary-index scan, delete is
  restrict-only; nil never joins, nil is a legal group key
- lowering: the compiler is the planner — queries become bytecode loops
  over cursor/group builtins, longest-prefix index selection, no plan
  tree, no SQL text in the image (disassembly-provable)
- plan: 6 tasks gated by a new docs/examples/employee sample
  (Department/Employee, @unique, composite index, ref/backlink,
  GroupBy report mode) with its own acceptance script + crash step;
  blocked on iteration 9's engine plan
- story 09b + status board updated; 02-wo-language.md carries the
  supersession note

79605cbb4f feat: milestone 1 complete — .wob emitter, conformance corpus, single binary; GC redesign specced
- `woc` now emits `.wob` that `wovm` runs: emit.ml lowers the typed,
  owner-annotated AST (scope-stack registers with a >64 WO-E401 diagnostic,
  Lua-style call windows, ICALL by slot, dedup const pool, drop maps, line
  tables, implicit terminators); disasm.ml backs `--dump-bc` goldens.
- Ownership lowering consumes the four owner tables verbatim; RESIDUAL is the
  only source of borrow ops, coalesced per operand. Review caught the emitter
  consuming only 2 of owner.ml's 4 residual producers — an assignment-anchored
  aliasing violation ran to exit 0 instead of trapping; fixed, plus a backstop
  raising WO-E404 for any residual region left unconsumed.
- Conformance harness `scripts/oop-e2e.sh` (`just oop-e2e`): four fixture
  kinds with exact outcomes — byte-exact stdout, one WO-E### anchored on
  `error CODE:`, numeric trap code, gc trace. 25 fixtures incl. pricing-demo
  logic, the ownership suite, and DB_STUB's parse-but-trap. `tests/` un-ignored
  so the corpus is actually tracked.
- `woc build` produces a self-contained binary: wovm copy + appended image +
  20-byte trailer, self-exec via /proc/self/exe. Verified relocated outside
  the repo, argless, and against adversarial trailer corruption.
- Milestone 1's five spec criteria all MET (`just oop-accept`). Criterion 3
  closed by WO-E405 — the entry must return `Int`, since program mode already
  says its return value is the exit code — which deletes the leak class
  without adding return-type metadata to the format. `gc/held-cycle` retired:
  an externally-held cycle is not expressible in a post-exit pump.
- New spec: inferred GC + incremental per-shard tri-color mark-sweep, retiring
  `@gc` and reference counting. Story gains iterations 7b (that work) and 9b
  (`@table`, relations, compiler-checked query); `.dev/reference` gains a
  sparse System.Linq checkout. Priority: 5→6→7 (log-watcher) then 7b, 8, 9, 9b.

a55971d857 docs: status board at docs/00-status.md; gap-closure spec applied; recover lost doc
- Board renamed docs/plan/00-kanban.md -> docs/00-status.md and rebuilt: ▶ NEXT
  PLAN pointer (iteration 4 — emitter, corpus, `woc build`) then six buckets —
  stories, in progress, done, pending, discarded, learnings. It covered only the
  Rust runtime before, so the whole OOP track was invisible. All 16 inbound refs
  repointed; `Kanban:` banners renamed to `Status:`.
- New discarded.md (settled rejections with reasons: inheritance, `abstract`,
  Money/SKU/Float, Dynamic/cast/macro/extern, AOT-to-C, Menhir, shared engine
  state) and learnings.md (plumbed≠enforced, vacuous goldens, exit-0-wrong-
  output, malloc-path ASan trick, deferred checks that never reach the VM).
- RECOVERED docs/plan/exploration/blue-green-vm/00-vision.md — gone from disk,
  never committed (gitignored path), cited by five docs incl. principle 12.
  Root cause was broader: all seven forward-roadmap plans in
  docs/superpowers/plans/ were untracked and ignored, on one disk only. Dropped
  the docs ignore rules with a do-not-re-add note; added __pycache__/*.pyc.
- Repaired broken links across docs/, 270 -> 36: fixes a regression from the
  earlier reference/ -> .dev/reference/ move (relative paths at ../../ and
  deeper were skipped), plus depth and reorg drift. The 36 residual point at
  content that does not exist and need decisions, not paths.
- New spec docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-10-logwatcher-gap-closure-design.md,
  applied: `and`/`or` verdict row; Part 3 gains `env` (six modules), swaps
  time.mono for iso/local, adds 22 bare core builtins; throw/time.mono/is cut
  (0 uses in the sample). Plan 8: Task 2 gains and/or, Task 5 drops throw,
  abstract+`is` task deleted, 8/9 renumber to 7/8. Plan 9 gains core builtins.
  Plan 10 gains the 307 -> 0 diagnostic gate. WO-E205 re-filed unreachable-by-
  design. types.ml header drops its false satisfaction-set claim. 00-code-
  review.md reduced to a stub — its rival Phase 1-4 roadmap retired.

2de724df11 feat(compiler): MVS ownership pass + woc driver; drop Money/SKU/Float, reject abstract
Completes plan 2 Tasks 7-8. owner.ml: mutable-value-semantics flow analysis
producing the four plan-3 emitter tables (moves, drops incl. LIVE-MASK for trap
unwinding, rc with elision, residual borrow sites) plus WO-E301-304 two-site
diagnostics. Alias questions run over canonicalized places, so a double-mut
reached through let-bound aliases lands in the residual table like the direct
form; dump.ml's contract notes the emitter must coalesce guards per operand.
main.ml: directory discovery, cross-file programs (symbols merge before bodies
check), diagnostics ordered by (file,line,col), new WO-E214 for a name declared
in two files. New docs/plan/oop-vm/01-error-catalog.md (14 emitted + 10 reserved
codes), un-ignored so both plan tracks can cite it; justfile regains woc-*.

builtin_scalars is now the five that work: Int, Bool, Text, Timestamp, Id.
Money/SKU/Float and the abstract_types allowlist are gone — `abstract` never
lexed, and Float had no literal syntax and no wob kind, so no value could exist.
Fixtures and samples retype Money->Int, SKU->Text. The abstract newtype feature
is rejected outright (verdict row adopt->reject); haxe-parity Task 7 keeps `is`.

nullable-types-implementation.md corrected: ?T is plumbed but UNENFORCED
(E211-213 declared, never emitted; probe exits 0), handed to haxe-parity Task 6
as next work item. Records all 10 dead codes incl. E205 — interface satisfaction
is unchecked. crates/rt keeps its Money/SKU fixtures (opaque strings, Stage 2).

Gate: build warning-clean, 14 + 264 checks 0 failures, pricing golden exit 0,
docs/examples histograms unchanged (13/70, zero WO-E225).

5e61b91308 docs: OOP compiler + VM core design spec (milestone 1)
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-01-oop-compiler-vm-design.md (new): approved brainstorming design for the OOP-writeonce track's first sub-project — `woc` (OCaml, stdlib-only, handwritten lexer/recursive-descent parser) compiling `.wo` classes to register bytecode, and `wovm` (C, libc-only) interpreting it. Decisions locked: evolve wo-rt-c into the C runtime (Rust rt stays until parity); plan-13 doctrine kept (no inheritance — structural Go-style interfaces + composition); hybrid borrow enforcement (mutable value semantics, second-class borrows — compiler elides provable sites, VM checks residual sites via header borrow word); per-class @gc opt-out with RC + budgeted per-shard Bacon–Rajan cycle scan (no stop-the-world by construction); shard-actor concurrency reserved (header carries shard id, implementation is sub-project 2); root-level monorepo dirs compiler/ + runtime/ (nothing new under prototypes/). Spec covers .wob module format, ~40-op instruction set, trap/unwind error model with drop maps, conformance-corpus test strategy (run/must-fail-compile/must-trap), and measurable success criteria (<100 ms compile, ASan/Valgrind-clean suite, single-binary build).
