- frames a writeonce port of ~/projects/skillhost (C++ MCP host that
links libllama in-process, discovers filesystem skills, runs their
scripts confined) as the sample that drives host capabilities into
the open — the way log-watcher drove the systems stdlib
- names each gap as a candidate iteration (surveyed 2026-08-16 vs the
running compiler + skillhost source):
- Blocker A: in-process native-lib FFI (no FFI today) — fork:
FFI-as-language vs out-of-process model driver over proc/net+json
(llama-server, needs nothing new); leaning out-of-process
- Blocker B: stdio transport — no stdin/stdout builtins; port uses
a TCP socket meanwhile; io.stdin_read/stdout_write a candidate
- Blocker C: bounded/killable subprocess — proc.run has no timeout/
signal/process-group kill; smallest + most broadly useful, do 1st
- partials: recursive fs walk, exec-bit check, symlink-resolving
confinement (realpath) — one small fs-metadata iteration
- records what is already expressible (catalog via @table/9g skill-
catalog, discovery, frontmatter text-parse, config, single-thread
serve, context-gate arithmetic — no VRAM query needed)
- out of scope: in-process libllama/CUDA, VRAM introspection, exact
sampler chain / per-turn memory clear
- roadmap + board rows added

- method: an embedded-SQL app is a grammar corpus; catalogue what it
actually uses and add only that, translating its statements 1:1 as
the acceptance (the postgres/System.Linq reference pattern applied to
a whole application)
- corpus #1 = ~/projects/skillhost (C++ MCP host, embedded SQLite skill
catalog): surveyed, entire SQL footprint is one file — 1 table, a
single-row parameterized INSERT, 4 SELECTs. 3 of 5 statements already
run on the 9b surface (insert, where name==?, order by name; PK ≈
@unique). Exactly 2 are the real gap:
- whole-query `count` (group-free; the degenerate aggregate, NOT
the parked group-by)
- correlated `not exists` subquery (skillhost's roots-of-the-tree)
- notable finding: skillhost's NOT EXISTS is naturally a `backlink`
emptiness in writeonce (children backlink + len==0), so the corpus
may be fully expressible once len(query) is confirmed — the iteration
may collapse to "confirm len(query) + add exists"; forks record this
- explicitly parks everything skillhost does NOT use (join/having/
offset/distinct/CTE/window/union/upsert/returning/json/fts/triggers)
and the full group-by; each enters only when a corpus demands it
- acceptance: docs/examples/skill-catalog mirroring skillhost's schema
+ its 5 catalog ops as writeonce translations
- roadmap + board rows added

- FK restrict: deleting a row a non-nullable `ref` still points at traps
WO_T_FK (11), catchable. The compiler now records a `ref` field's
target class in the class-table field_class metadata; the engine
(wo_row_has_referrers) scans referencing scalar columns before a
delete. Correctness-first full scan; the backlink-index optimization
is recorded for later
- docs/examples/employee now COMPILES AND RUNS all six modes against a
WAL-durable database: seed (+@unique trap across restart), report
(per-dept aggregates + payroll), staff (unique probe + backlink +
ref nav), raise (update-through-row), drop (FK restrict), and
persistence via replay
- group-by SYNTAX parked to a future iteration (user decision): the
report mode is hand-rolled from the shipped primitives meanwhile
(same numbers). "table relations and FK" is complete
- scripts/employee-accept.sh (8 checks) + a `just employee` module;
manifest parser tolerates iteration 9c's [share]/[[share.clients]]
sections so `woc .` builds the sample on this branch
- fixtures trap/db-fk-restrict (code 11) + run/db-fk-restrict-catch;
oop-e2e 79/0, woc-test 566/0, 15 runtime suites, log-watcher 7/0,
employee-accept 8/0

- captures the toCSV/reflection thread: principle 13 forbids runtime
reflection, so a generic serializer can't be a user-written function;
Rust answers with derive macros (compile-time codegen), and
json.encode is already a single hand-built instance of exactly that
- iteration generalizes json.encode's mechanism into a reusable derive
facility: @derive(Json/Csv/Eq/Hash/Show) -> the compiler generates
per-type routines from the class-table metadata it already emits,
monomorphic, no runtime type tag, no dynamic dispatch
- closes the query-result-serialization gap
(csv.encode(from e in Employee ... select e)) that has no expression
today; acceptance requires json.encode retrofitted onto the framework
with byte-identical output, and disassembly proving no reflection
- four forks: request surface (lean @derive annotation), invocation
(lean compiler-recognized encode builtins, no UFCS/methods), Eq/Hash
sharing the engine's key comparison, static applicability checking
- out of scope: full trait/typeclass system, user proc-macros, general
generics, cross-channel derive -- a CLOSED compiler-known derivable
set, the pragmatic 80% without the type-system weight
- numbered 13 to echo the principle it lives inside; roadmap + board

- 9e durability/throughput/scale: the measurement backbone -- run the
employee program, restart to prove persistence, benchmark read/write
through compiled .wo, ~1M-row mixed load with throughput floor + p99
ceiling + flat RSS; the gate every optimization signs (before/after
delta required, no measured delta = not accepted)
- 9f io_uring group-commit: replace fsync-per-commit with batched
io_uring durability overlapped on shard threads; same ack-after-
durable contract, crash battery unchanged, automatic fsync fallback
on kernels without it; deliberately LAST (needs 8's threads to
overlap and 9e's baseline to beat)
- wired the existing levers into the arc: iteration 8 (thread-per-core)
= "optimize multithreading", 7b (mark-sweep) = "implement GC" --
each now gated by re-running 9e and recording the delta
- explicit sequence recorded in 9e: 9b lands -> 9e baseline -> 7b
re-bench -> 8 re-bench -> 9f re-bench
- roadmap + board rows for 9e/9f; four forks each for the specs
(load generator, absolute vs relative budgets, what "1M" means,
durable vs RAM headline; ring model, liburing vs raw, batch
boundary, fallback testing)

- promotes 9c's identity fork to its own iteration: program identity
is a keypair (first-boot generated into WO_DATA, 0600, printable
fingerprint); A's [share] grants name PUBLIC KEYS, B pins A's key
in [connect.a]; mutual challenge-response, fresh nonces, transcript-
hash signing (protocol tag + fingerprints + nonces + channel)
- acceptance criteria: registered-key attach carries 9c rights
unchanged; unregistered key refused pre-statement with fingerprint
logged; same-uid-wrong-key refused (uid SUPERSEDED, not
supplemented); impostor on A's socket path aborted by B's pinned-key
check; handshake replay refused; rotation = manifest change
- four forks recorded: crypto provenance (lean: vendored compact
Ed25519 as the one sanctioned vendored component), keygen home
(lean: first-boot into WO_DATA), signed-transcript layout, uid
survival (lean: keys only, peer-cred demoted to log enrichment)
- out of scope: transport encryption, CA machinery, key escrow,
root-attacker protection
- plan folds into 9c's when specced (neither ships alone); 9c fork 3

- program B attaches to running program A's persistent database via an
IPC string in B's wo.toml [connect.<name>]; A registers clients by
name with read / read+write rights in its [share] manifest section;
unregistered = refused at connect, under-privileged = catchable trap
- doctrine preserved: A stays the single writer -- B's statements
execute inside A through the same choke-point row API, B never
touches A's WAL or slabs; typed statements checked by B's compiler
against A's table shapes, schema handshake at attach
- four forks recorded for the spec: channel carrier (lean: unix
socket + SO_PEERCRED), how B's compiler learns A's shapes (lean:
project reference + live handshake), grant granularity (lean:
whole-db rights, name+uid identity), blocking semantics (lean:
blocking round-trip, stop-flag rule applies)
- acceptance sketch: employee sample as A, a thin employee-report
client as B (read-only GroupBy over the wire) + audit-log writer
exercising the rights matrix
- slots after 9b (shares its typed surface), before 10 (HTTP is the
external face; this is the writeonce-native one); prior art:
04-client-api.md wire protocol + the WAL's value encoding

- 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

- Task 5: net.close on every path out of a serve iteration (400
included) and the listener on stop; measured 4 -> 54 fds over 50
requests before, 4 -> 4 over 200 after. The loop's comment claimed
the iteration-end drop IS the close -- wrong twice (net.Conn is a
scalar, and a drop would not close an fd); it now says what is true
- Task 6: LW_SOAK=<seconds> in the acceptance script -- each mode under
load, resident+descriptor deltas against a WARMED baseline (warm-up
includes load: cold-to-high-water is not growth), 256 KiB / zero
tolerance; LW_ACCEPT_WOVM soaks another build
- the soak caught ~1.6 MiB/min of in-arena leaks ASan cannot see (the
arena is one allocation to LeakSanitizer); an arena size-class
census + pointer trace attributed five bugs:
- jparse_string sized every decoded string at "rest of the input"
and relabeled len after -- blocks filed on free lists their next
allocation never reads (fs.read_all's mis-size, again); copy out
exact, free at the taken size
- `!=` never dropped fresh operands (headers["authorization"] !=
"Bearer ${key}" leaked both sides per request); Ne now reaps as Eq
- an Int interpolation segment is a fresh int_to_text, not a borrow;
is_borrowed_value_t asks the segment's type
- json.encode(Ctor{...}) had no owner -- record + both field copies
leaked per tool call; its bespoke lowering now drops the argument
- a discarded expression statement owns its result: `pop(lines);`
leaked the popped element; reader builtins excluded
- after: arena live bytes flat per request on every handler; release
soak 30 s per mode watch 0 / run 0 / mcp +20 KiB, descriptors flat;
ASan build flat at 14600 KiB across 601686 requests in 90 s past its
~1200-request quarantine warm-up

- blocking stdlib calls that PARK (net.accept, socket read/write,
time.sleep, a child wait) no longer restart the syscall when the
stop flag is set on an interruption: a server sitting in accept
ignored SIGTERM and only `kill -9` ended it
- a stop is NOT a trap -- builtin.h's WO_SYS_STOPPED carries no error
record and no catch handler sees it (`try` must not swallow
SIGTERM); the VM unwinds the whole stack through the same drop
machinery an uncaught trap uses, so nothing leaks on the way out
- wo_vm_call gained a third outcome (1 = stopped); the CLI maps it to
the status the program's own `return 0` would have given, and a
regular-file read keeps its plain EINTR retry -- it does not park
- an ASSIGNMENT was not an ownership boundary: `api_key =
j.mcp.apiKey` moved the field pointer into the local, so the local
aliased the record and the first unwind freed the same string twice
(SIGSEGV in class_free). `let` copied a Text place, assignment now
does too -- the same double free was latent on the normal exit path,
hidden by the order the compiler happens to emit drops in
- log-watcher-accept is 7 checks: the seventh is the stop itself, with
the hard kill demoted to a fallback whose use is the failure
- measured under ASan: mcp parked, mcp after traffic, watch and run
all exit rc 0 with zero leaks; SIGINT behaves as SIGTERM

- program mode built the entry's `multi Text` of arguments and never
freed it: the entry only BORROWS a parameter (never a `take`, and
the drop tables never drop one), so the runtime that built the
container owns it
- dropped after the entry returns and after a trap alike -- the
container outlives the unwind; `multi_free` recurses, so the
argument strings go with it
- one site covers both invocation shapes: `self_rc` picks the argv
offset, it does not build a second container
- measured: watch, run and the full MCP mix now report ZERO leaks
under ASan -- the clean baseline the soak (Task 6) reads against

- the drop tables track bindings only, so six shapes had no owner: a
comparison operand (`if parse_expr(s) == nil` abandoned a schedule
record and its five containers per cron line), a borrowed call
argument (a 1 KB string per MCP request), a container read's copy,
a loop's iterable, a projected record, and any of those escaped by
a `return` from inside the statement that built them
- `c[i]` is the one place expression whose register holds a COPY:
no second copy at a boundary (`let u = tokens[0]` copied twice and
abandoned the first), and a drop where every other place is left be
- never drop an argument register after a CALL — the callee's frame
overlaps it; the reap moved into call_window's pre-call stash
- a statement-owned temporary is parked in a LOCAL slot: a loop
reclaims every temp for its body, and the end-of-statement DROP was
releasing the loop counter instead of the record
- reader builtins (get/latest/key_at/val_at) keep arg0 alive — their
result points into it — but their key argument is ordinary
- measured: run 2 112 B -> 64 B, flat 8 s to 20 s; MCP mix 21 312 B /
63 -> 64 B / 1; every handler flat from 2 to 6 requests; the 64 B

Measured on the workload's supervisor mode, eight seconds, clean SIGTERM exit:

- owner.ml: `oclass_of` called `Text` a builtin scalar, so it was Copy and NO
Text local was ever dropped — that, not the missing stdlib table, was the
leak. Text is now Owned, which forces an answer for what it does at an
ownership boundary, and the answer is uniform: it is COPIED. Into a
container (push/set/`m[i] = v`, already true), into a field (SETF), out of a
function (return), into a binding (`let s = other`), and into a loop cursor.
The source keeps its value; a freshly built Text stays the caller's and is
dropped at the site
- owner.ml: resolve_callee answers for three shapes it never knew — reserved
stdlib members, builtins, and a class's `static` members — so their results
get a type, an owner and a drop
- vm/builtin: WO_B_TEXT_COPY, the one new builtin the rule needs; SETF copies a
TEXT field in; emit copies a Text read out of a container, bound from a
place, returned from a place, or loaded into a cursor, and drops a freshly
built one after a copying store
- sysio.c: fs.read_all/net.read allocated their cap then relabelled the buffer
with the short length — but wo_str_free sizes a block by its len (no size
headers, obj.h), so a 1 MiB buffer wearing a 30-byte length went onto a
32-byte free list and never came back. They copy out at the true size now
- two regressions the corpus caught, fixed in the same pass: a @gc value read
out of a container is a plain borrow, not an rc-counted alias; and push's @gc
escape is keyed on "push is not a user-declared fn" rather than "the callee
did not resolve", which stopped being true once builtins resolved
- docs: Task 1 closed in the executable plan with its before/after numbers, and
the status board's item 1 records the deeper root cause
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every remaining item is now traced to a measurement on the sample; anything the
sample does not exercise is deferred by name with the measurement that says so.
- new plan docs/plan/compiler/2026-08-14-logwatcher-executable.md — six tasks
between "it runs" and "you can leave it running": the ownership pass learning
stdlib return types (>1 MB leaked in 8s of `run` mode, one fs.read_all
result), dropping a projected temporary (`for e in parse_dir(d).entries`
leaks the shell per rescan), the runtime's own argv container (128 B every
run), honouring the stop signal in blocking calls (a server in accept ignores
SIGTERM), closing accepted connections (net.close exists, unused), and a soak
that would have caught all of it. Opens with the measured starting point and
closes with an explicit out-of-scope list
- story 7 (log-watcher proof): status banner separating the met compile-and-run
half from the executable half, plus a new Given/When/Then — clean SIGTERM
exit, zero leaks, flat RSS and descriptors across a soak
- story 5: grammar half landed, strictness half deliberately deferred
- story 6: landed for the surface the workload uses, with the two lifetime
defects it exposed pointed at the new plan
- story 7b: recorded as off this workload's path, measured — the sample has no
@gc class, 0 RC_INC/RC_DEC against 78 DROPs
- 00-status.md: NEXT PLAN is the executable list; story table and in-progress
row point at the new plan; deferrals carry their evidence
- plan 8 (haxe-parity): banner now says on hold behind the executable plan, and
its task states are corrected — Task 5 shipped, Tasks 6 and 7 are half done
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 08-builtin-surface.md: containers copy a TEXT element/key/value; a freshly
built Text is the caller's to drop, a value read out of a place keeps its
owner; OWNED/GCREF still move and set's @gc retention gap stays open
- 00-status.md: the borrowed-Text double free is struck through as closed by
copy-on-push, with the concrete failure it fixed; new gap recorded — a
blocking accept/read swallows SIGTERM, which belongs to iteration 8's event
loop rather than a patch to the blocking calls

Found by driving the compiled log-watcher's third path — the MCP server. It now
answers real JSON-RPC over HTTP: initialize returns protocolVersion/serverInfo,
tools/list returns the full tool list (1049 bytes of generated JSON), and an
unauthorized request gets 401 {"error":"unauthorized"}. corpus 71/0, woc 565/0,
wovm gates green.
- lexer: `\r` and `\0` escapes. Without `\r` a program cannot write CRLF at
all — the server's `index_of(buf, "\r\n\r\n")` was searching for a literal
backslash-r, so it never found a header terminator and hung on every request
- parser: an interpolated sub-expression now mints node ids from the OUTER id
space. A fresh sub-parser started at 1, so `${...}` nodes collided with the
file's own nodes — and every side table (drops, moves, rc, masks, f_decl) is
keyed by node id. Surfaced as WO-E404 "ownership table names `headers`,
which has no register"; silent misattribution otherwise
- types.ml: `net.Conn` is a reserved SCALAR type (a file descriptor). It was
falling through as "some user class", i.e. WO_K_OWNED, so the frame would
DROP an integer at scope end
- types.ml: confident_typ knows `..` yields Text. Interpolation desugars to a
Concat chain, so without it every interpolated value looked underivable —
which is why the `+`-on-Text check missed two live sites in the workload
- `m[k]` on a map is now the OPTIONAL read (nil for a missing key), while
`get(m, k)` stays the asserting one that traps KEY. That is what makes
`let v = m[k]; if v != nil` — the workload's header lookup — work.
trap/missing-map-key now pins `get(...)`, and the surface doc records the
split
- json.encode of a `json.Value` emits it verbatim (kind 255): an echoed id was
coming back as "1" instead of 1
- disasm: TRY/ENDTRY render instead of ?OP32/?OP33
- status board: the push-of-a-borrowed-Text gap is now recorded with the
concrete failure it produces (tools/call tail_log), plus the leaked
temporary-record shell found in the same disassembly
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- docs/00-status.md: NEXT PLAN is now iteration 5's strictness half (?T forced
handling, pub(read) writes, using, #if) plus an ASan run over the workload;
iterations 6 and 7 marked landed; a "Landed 2026-08-14" section records what
actually shipped, and a new known-gaps block records what did not — lenient
optionals, unenforced pub(read), the borrowed-Text-into-container hazard,
json's Bool/float limits, net fd lifetime, no ASan over the workload, and no
corpus fixtures for the new surface (by direction: the sample is the test)
- runtime/src/CODE-LOGIC.md: file map, the loader-is-the-only-validator and
traps-never-leak invariants, the catch stack, records the VM fills but cannot
name, class metadata + json, program mode, and where to look when it breaks
- compiler/src/CODE-LOGIC.md: the pipeline, why there are two type derivers and
the stay-silent-when-underivable rule, how contextual values get a
destination, the node-id/label contract between owner.ml and emit.ml, the
four kinds of qualified call, predeclared records, the constant-interning
trap, register discipline, and how to verify a change

docs/examples/log-watcher now COMPILES AND RUNS: `wovm lw.wob watch app.log 2 1`
tails a live file, classifies levels and fires its alert
("last entry is error, quiet for 2s"). corpus 71/0, woc 565/0, wovm gates green.
- program mode: the entry is `fn main` taking nothing or one `multi Text`;
runtime/src/main.c builds that list from the program's own arguments (not
the program name, not the image path) and the entry's return value is the
process exit code (low byte); the loader accepts a 0- or 1-arg free-fn entry
- `+` on Text is now WO-E201 pointing at `..`. This was a memory-safety hole,
not a style nit: the emitter lowered it to ADD on two heap pointers, and the
workload's own `out = out + char_of(c)` produced a wild pointer that
segfaulted the VM inside starts_with. Reported off confident types only
- `x == nil` / `x != nil` lower to EQ (a word compare), never EQS: nil is the
zero word and EQS dereferences its operands, so a nil guard would trap
instead of answering
- docs/examples/log-watcher: seven `+`-on-Text sites corrected to `..`
(logtail sanitize, mcp header/body/carry assembly, supervisor detections
line) — the sample was carrying the Haxe habit, and the language reserves
`+` for arithmetic by doctrine
- wovm CLI takes arguments after the image path (`wovm <file.wob> [args...]`)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `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.
- 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.
