- 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

- runtime: mailbox slots grow caller metadata (wo_msg), call parks on
WO_PARK_INBOX (the DB-RPC protocol) and the resume consumes a SCALAR
reply; FIBER_DONE ships the receive's return value home (same-shard
unpark or kind-6 envelope); kind-5 carries cross-shard calls
- actor death is real now: a receive trapping uncaught marks the actor
dead, error-unparks the in-flight caller AND every queued caller,
drops queued payloads + state, releases cap slots; send-to-dead
drops silently, call-to-dead traps — a call never hangs. Fixes the
pre-existing leak/dangle in TRAPF's fiber-death path (cur_msg leaked,
a->active dangled, the mailbox rotted)
- compiler: reply typing through actor-M erasure — every receive(M)
program-wide must agree on one return type and it must be a copyable
scalar (v1); WO-E226 names disagreeing classes / void receives /
non-scalar replies; call's message moves exactly like send's (owner)
- corpus: run/call-echo (park + ordered replies), run/call-dead-trap
(mid-call + to-dead, both catchable), compile-fail/call-void-receive,
compile-fail/call-reply-disagree; cross-shard call proof rides the
chat gate next

- cap 1024 (WO_MAILBOX override at boot): sender-side atomic
reserve/release on every path — same-shard, cross-shard envelope,
OOM rollbacks; full mailbox traps the SENDER catchably; delivery
pop releases; overshoot bounded by in-flight sends (disclosed)
- test_mailbox 12/0: exact cap single-threaded, two racing senders win
exactly cap slots, drain/refill clean
- corpus run/mailbox-full-trap: parked sleeper, send loop catches
"actor mailbox full" after >= 1024 sends

- 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.

- language: `spawn Cls { fields }` expression (ctor semantics — fields
MOVE; result is the address); `actor M` parametric field type
(contextual like multi/map — actor stays a legal identifier); `send`
is a builtin free-fn name, not a keyword (shadowing rule applies)
- typing: M inferred from Cls's receive(msg: M); WO-E221 when receive
is missing, mis-armed, or M is not a class/record/union; send checks
addr is `actor M` and the message IS an M (silent when underivable);
ctor half of spawn delegates to the Ctor arm (completeness, ?T, E207)
- ownership: send's message TRANSFERS (sender's later use = WO-E301,
corpus-pinned); spawn's fields move via the ctor machinery; an
address is Copy
- emit: spawn lowers to ctor + LOADK receive's method index + BUILTIN
68; send is BUILTIN 69 with the message excluded from fresh-arg drops
(the runtime owns it now)
- runtime: wo_actor (moved-in instance, receive idx, growable FIFO
mailbox, one delivery fiber at a time); delivery reuses the fiber
context across messages and re-queues per message (fairness — an
actor never monopolizes); the runtime drops each message after its
receive returns; actor state/queued/in-flight messages are GC roots;
teardown drops everything (main-return reap included); loader knows
the two arities
- corpus: run/actor-echo (typed spawn/send, one-at-a-time delivery
interleaved with main by budget — output exact, ASan-clean),
compile-fail/spawn-no-receive (WO-E221), send-after-move (WO-E301)

Closes json's two documented fidelity limits (iteration 5 strictness):
- field_class gains WOB_FIELD_BOOL (a plain `Bool` field) and
WOB_FIELD_NIL_BOOL (a `?Bool`: WO_NIL_SCALAR nil + bool encoding) — the
kind byte alone cannot tell a Bool slot from an Int slot, so the metadata
carries it. Emitter writes them (field_class_meta); loader whitelists
them; json.c encodes `true`/`false` (and `null` for a ?Bool nil), decode's
null/omitted-key pre-write covers NIL_BOOL.
- A JSON number with a fraction or exponent is MALFORMED for an Int field:
the checked decode (`json.decode(t) as T`) yields nil for the whole
document instead of silently truncating 3.7 to 3 — the language has no
float, and corrupting data quietly was the one thing a "checked decode"
must never do. Floats stay representable through a raw `json.Value` field.
- corpus: run/json-bool-fidelity pins the round-trip (true/false both ways,
?Bool null both ways, fraction AND exponent rejected).
- Board's two known-gap entries struck; format doc's field_class marker list
extended.
Verified: oop-e2e 87/0; runtime test + test-iso OK; woc-test 540/0;
log-watcher 7/0; employee 8/0.

The compiler no longer emits reference-counting ops anywhere, and the format
reserves them. With Phase 3a's collector this completes the runtime half of
iteration 7b: spec success criteria 3 (no RC ops in any image, opcodes
reserved) and 6 (corpus ASan-clean) are met — `just oop-accept` is fully green.
- owner.ml: the rc machinery is deleted outright — rc_site/rc_op types, the
rcs table, fn_rcs/rc_groups/rc_escaped, record_rc, release_gc, gc_escape,
resolve_rc, and the clobber rule (its only consumer was elision). The
`push`-of-a-gc-value RC_INC special case is gone (the bug class cannot recur
without RC). Drop tables (owned + LGc kinds) are untouched — the gc mask is
what feeds the collector's root maps.
- emit.ml: emit_rc, the v_rc view, the escape-acquire anchor, and every
caller deleted; assignment displacing a traced value emits nothing (the VM's
store barrier owns it); scope-ended LGc handles clear their gc-mask bit so
root maps stay precise.
- .wob v4: WOB_VERSION 3 -> 4 in wob.h + emit.ml + disasm.ml + the runner's
loader battery; opcodes 27-28 removed from the enum/jump table/interpreter
and REJECTED by the loader like any unknown opcode.
- dump.ml: the == RC == owner-dump section is gone; 6 goldens re-blessed
(owner dumps lose the section, elision.wo's bc dump loses its RC ops).
- runner.ml: rc-table/ELIDED assertions deleted; the elision test now asserts
the WHOLE image contains no RC op; the table-contract sweep asserts rc ops
never appear.
- test_unwind.c: the rc-opcodes test becomes two — the loader rejects reserved
opcode 27, and an abandoned traced instance is freed by rt_destroy
(ASan-proven).
Verified: woc-test 540/0 + test_diag 14/0; runtime test + test-iso all suites
ASan/UBSan (test_unwind 12/0); cli_smoke; oop-e2e 79/0 (v4 images end to end);
employee 8/0; log-watcher 7/0; ring runs + reclaimed (freed=3) with zero RC
ops in its image; `just oop-accept` ALL CRITERIA MET.

Reference counting and Bacon-Rajan trial deletion are gone from the runtime.
Traced (inferred-gc) objects now die only by the collector; owned values keep
deterministic drops exactly as before.
- wo_hdr: rc retired; borrow and the freed 4 bytes become a union — non-traced
values keep the borrow word, traced objects use the 8 bytes as the intrusive
sweep-list link. Header stays exactly 16 bytes. WHITE is now the all-zero
color (allocations born white by memset); WO_F_BUF retired.
- gc.c rewritten: snapshot-at-beginning tri-color mark-sweep. Roots (frames'
gc+owned masks) shaded atomically at cycle start; Yuasa deletion barrier
shades the OLD target of every gcref edge deleted while marking (SETF
overwrites + every owned-death path, which all funnel through wo_drop_kind's
GCREF case); allocations mid-cycle born black. Mark AND sweep budgeted
(WO_GC_BUDGET objects/slice), sweep resumes via a cursor; gray-worklist OOM
degrades to a blacken-all cycle (frees nothing, never wrong). Owned interiors
walked eagerly (single-owner trees), pruned by a per-class may-gcref bit
computed at rt_init (fixpoint over kinds + v2 field_class/field_elem;
conservative when metadata is absent).
- vm.c: safepoints at NEW (the heap-goal trigger), CALL, and backward JMP;
root scan follows vm_unwind's governing-pc convention. Unwind's gc-mask
branch just nulls the register. RC_INC/RC_DEC are accepted as no-ops until
the emitter stops producing them (next commit) — which also deletes the old
RC_DEC-on-nil trap that broke `?Node` gcref field stores.
- main.c pump: post-exit, a rootless cycle frees everything unreachable in
budgeted slices; the trace line moved into wo_gc_slice (one format for pump
and in-program slices). rt_destroy frees traced remnants (trap paths, tests).
- WO_GC_GOAL joins WO_GC_BUDGET/WO_GC_TRACE as an rt-owned knob (default 256
KiB; a tiny goal forces mid-program cycles for testing).
- tests: test_cycle.c rewritten (abandoned cycle freed, rooted cycle survives,
slices bounded, cycle-through-multi, repeated-cycle leak-freedom, and the
spec's load-bearing DELETION-BARRIER test: an object hidden behind a black
object mid-mark must survive). test_rc.c re-pinned to owned drops + the
owned/traced boundary; test_obj.c asserts tracked-white-linked instead of
rc=1.
Verified: make test + test-iso (all suites, ASan/UBSan; test_cycle 42/0,
test_rc 14/0) + cli_smoke; oop-e2e 79/0 (gc corpus traces unchanged: the new
slice math reproduces steps=1/freed=2 and steps=2/freed=4); employee 8/0;
log-watcher 7/0. THE RING RUNS: docs/examples/gc-cycle prints
`ring a -> b -> c -> a`, is reclaimed post-exit (freed=3 remaining=0), is ASan
clean, and survives an in-program cycle while rooted (WO_GC_GOAL=64: mid-run
slice frees 0, post-exit frees 3).

- 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]]

- `order by <field> [desc]` on whole-row queries: a selection sort over
the result multi, re-reading the key per element via the range var
(DB_GET_FIELD); O(n^2), KISS, no cost planner — the result sets are
small by design
- Text order keys use a new WO_B_STR_LT builtin (content compare, reusing
the WO_B_SORT elem_cmp); scalar keys use the LT opcode. The bug this
fixes: op_lt on two Text pointers compares ADDRESSES
- `take N`: clamp to count, slice [0,N). `take` is the KwTake keyword,
not an Ident — matched as the token
- two bugs found + fixed while testing: multi-line query clauses (skip
the separating newlines) and the key-kind read (must bind the range
var BEFORE ty_of_expr of the order key, or a Text key silently uses
op_lt); Index typechecks to the container's element type (`ds[0]`)

- DB_GET_FIELD(65): class,id,field -> the field decoded to a fresh VM
value (the out-gate copy); a table-class value IS its row id at
runtime, so this is how a compiled query reads a column, and a ref

the row, released key becomes insertable)

- .wob v3: class records carry an index tail (flags bit0 = unique,
col_cnt, columns) -- @table(index:[a,b]) entries plus one unique
single-column entry per @unique field; loader validates columns in
range and scalar/Text-kinded; emitter validates the declarations
(unknown column, un-indexable kind => diagnostic)
- engine: db_index hash multimap per table, built from the class
table at first touch, maintained ONLY inside wo_row_insert/
wo_row_remove; unique checks re-compare actual column values (a
hash is a hint); replay re-indexes via wo_row_raw_commit AFTER
slots are filled, so recovered tables carry their indexes
- WO_T_UNIQUE = 10; a violating insert is un-applied whole (bitmap,
hash, count, and the never-observable id reclaimed) and traps
catchably -- the employee SEED-DUP pattern
- wo_row_insert gains err_kind so db.c maps UNIQUE/OOM/other to the
right trap; test images and the runner's loader mirror speak v3

- compiler: `insert Class { ... }` is a typed Ast.Insert in statement
AND expression position, sharing the ctor literal's field grammar;
typechecked with the ctor's omittable rule; result = the row id (Int)
- owner pass: the engine copies at the row API, so an insert BORROWS
its field values -- no transfer, no E304; node is trap-capable and
carries a live-mask drop entry like DbStub did
- emit: builtin 61 window = class-id const + one slot per DECLARED
field in declaration order; omitted defaults emitted, omitted ?scalar
gets WO_NIL_SCALAR, other omitted optionals the zero word; fresh
argument values reaped after (the push/set copy semantics)
- runtime: database/src/db.c executes via the choke-point row API;
rt.db/rt.wal opaque handles on wo_rt; WO_DATA=<dir> = replay
<dir>/shard-0.wal at boot + commit-before-ack per statement (the
builtin's return IS the ack until iteration 8 ticks); failed commit
un-applies the row and traps WO_T_IO; loader validates the class-id

run/pricing-set-price-insert printing engine-allocated ids;

- 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

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

Found by running the compiled log-watcher, not by reading code: the supervisor
rejected every cron line ("malformed schedule: * * * * *") because a `*` field
expands to 0 and `?Int`'s nil was also 0, so `a == nil` was true for a real
value. Both log-watcher subcommands now behave: `watch` alerts on a live file,
`run` reports SCHEDULE /var/log/backup.log: * * * * *. corpus 71/0, woc 565/0,
wovm gates green.
- a nullable SCALAR (?Int/?Bool/?Timestamp/?Id) spells nil as WO_NIL_SCALAR
(-2^62), not the zero word. Heap-shaped optionals keep 0 — a null pointer is
unambiguous. The value is -2^62 and NOT INT64_MIN on purpose: the compiler's
integers are OCaml's 63-bit natives, so INT64_MIN is not expressible there
(and `min_int * 2` silently wraps to 0 — the first attempt did exactly that)
- the class table marks such fields (WOB_FIELD_NIL_SCALAR in field_class), so
the runtime writes the right absence where it produces absence itself:
json.decode leaving a key absent or seeing `null`, and parse_int on
unparseable input (so parse_int("0") is now distinguishable from a failure).
json.encode renders a nil scalar as JSON null
- emit.ml: `nil` takes its word from its destination (annotation, field,
return type); a comparison against `nil` emits the literal with the other
operand's type, so ?scalar compares against the sentinel and ?heap against 0
- vm.c: EQS accepts a nil operand — two `?Text` values compare with it, and the
answer is "both absent is equal, one absent is not". Trapping there made
`a != b` on optionals unusable (it was trapping BOUNDS "null text" in the
supervisor's rescan). A non-nil operand must still be a real Text
- docs: both normative docs now state the heap-vs-scalar nil split and the EQS
rule; the stale duplicate vm_unwind comment is gone

docs/examples/log-watcher (1285 lines, 7 files) now compiles clean: 0
diagnostics, a 35KB .wob written. corpus 71/0, woc runtest 565/0, every wovm
unit gate green (both dispatch flavors).
- .wob v2: each class row gains three u32 per-field arrays — the field's NAME
constant, the CLASS it refers to (or the json-raw marker), and a container
field's ELEMENT kinds. json is then a runtime service driven by metadata
instead of per-type generated code. loader/emitter/disassembler/test
assembler all read and write v2; field-name constants are interned with the
rest of the pool (interning during serialization silently loses them)
- runtime/src/json.c (new): encode by static kind + object headers + class
table (nested records need no static knowledge); decode parses and BINDS
straight into the target class — keys matched to field names, nested objects
built as the field's class, arrays as a multi of the field's element kind,
unknown keys skipped, absent keys nil. Malformed input is nil, never a trap
- `as`: `json.decode(text) as T` is the one cast this language has (WO-E403
for any other `as`, and for a bare json.decode with no target type). Its
result is `?T`, which is why the decode and the target are one instruction
- json.Value: a reserved type name for a value the source does not inspect —
the raw JSON slice, kind TEXT, re-emitted verbatim by encode
- docs: 00-wob-format.md is now the v2 reference (class metadata, TRY/ENDTRY,
the whole builtin surface, WO_T_IO); 08-builtin-surface.md documents the
text/container builtins, the OS modules with their predeclared records, and
json's two documented limits (Bool encodes 0/1, floats truncate)

log-watcher diagnostics 129 -> 55 (json is what is left: 13 encode sites,
3 `as` parses and their cascade). corpus 71/0, woc 565/0, wovm gates green.
- runtime/src/sysio.c (new): 17 builtins behind the reserved module names —
fs.exists/list/stat/read_all/read_at/append, time.sleep/local/iso,
env.get/stopping, net.listen/accept/read/write/close, proc.run. Thin
blocking libc calls; a failed syscall traps the new WO_T_IO with errno's
own message, which `try ... catch` is how a program handles
- record-returning members (fs.stat, time.local, proc.run) take their
result record's CLASS ID as the last argument, so the VM allocates what
it fills without knowing any source type name (the err_fill pattern)
- absence is the zero word: a missing path from fs.stat and an unset
env.get are nil, not traps
- env.stopping installs SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers on first use only
- types.ml: predeclared Stat/TimeParts/Proc records (field order is the
contract with sysio.c) + the stdlib member table (arity, builtin id,
return type, result record) + stdlib return types in confident_typ
- emit.ml: stdlib member calls lower to their builtin with the record class
id appended; WO-E406 now means "no such member", not "not linked";
predeclared records enter the class table only when a program needs them
- emit.ml: fstate carries the method's declared return type, so a tail
`return []` / `return {}` gets its element kinds; a non-empty list literal
falls back to its own element type when there is no declared destination
- types.ml: confident_typ chases a container read (`c[i]`), which is what
makes a switch over a value pulled out of a map resolve; a void `try` arm
no longer demands its catch arm agree
- corpus: lang-use-stdlib-not-linked now pins WO-E406 for an unknown MEMBER
(fs.slurp) — the "not linked" premise is gone now that fs is linked

log-watcher parse errors 7 -> 3 (only `as` left); corpus 71/0, woc 565/0.
- wob.h/builtin.c/loader.c: WO_B_MULTI_SET — `m[i] = v` for a multi, dropping
the element it replaces (the mirror of map_set, which the format doc's sugar
rule already had; the "no element write" gap is closed)
- ast/parser: `for k, v in m` — the second name binds the value for that key
- types.ml/owner.ml: the two cursors take the map's key and value types; both
are borrows of what the map owns, so neither is dropped per iteration
- emit.ml: map form lowers to len + key_at/val_at over slot indexes (insertion
order, cont.h's parallel arrays), same loop skeleton as the multi form

log-watcher diagnostics 272 -> 129 (parse errors 7, stdlib-module calls 49,
lowering gaps 72). corpus 71/0, woc runtest 565/0, wovm unit gates green.
- nil (haxe-parity Task 6's literal half): `nil` keyword, Ast.NilLit, lowered
to the zero word for every `?T` — the representation the format doc already
fixes ("a nullable field stores exactly what T stores and spells nil as 0"),
so no boxing, no unbox on read, and every drop plan already skips it.
Contextual on its destination in both type derivers, like `[]`/`{}`
- 23 new builtins (wob.h ids 16..38, loader arities, builtin.c): len, byte_at,
print_err, starts_with, ends_with, index_of, last_index_of, substr, trim,
to_lower, char_of, parse_int, split, split_ws, join, slice, pop, shift,
sort, reverse, remove, key_at, val_at
- fresh-Text/fresh-multi results allocate in the VM; `split`/`split_ws` fix
their element kind (Text), `slice` copies its source's — and COPIES Text
elements so a slice and its source never both own one value
- pop/shift hand the element's ownership to the caller; remove drops the
map's own key and value; key_at/val_at expose slot-ordered enumeration
(what `for k, v in m` will lower onto)
- parse_int is optional-shaped: unparseable is 0, `?Int`'s own nil
- obj.c/obj.h: wo_str_alloc (uninitialized Text of known length) so `join`
builds its result in one allocation instead of one per element
- types.ml/emit.ml: builtin signatures, argument-shape requirements and
return types for all 23 — the return table is also what classifies a `let`
holding a fresh Text or multi as owned, so an omission there is a leak

VM catch frames + expression-form try/catch in the compiler. Uncaught traps
keep byte-for-byte today's surface. log-watcher parse errors 18 -> 7;
corpus 71/0, woc runtest 565/0, wovm unit gates green (both dispatch flavors).
- wob.h: WOP_TRY (A sBx: push catch frame, handler at pc+sBx) / WOP_ENDTRY;
WO_B_ERR_FILL builtin (fills the catch record: 0 code, 1 line, 2 method,
3 msg — the field-order contract with the compiler)
- vm.h/vm.c: catch stack (depth, handler pc, error reg) + the caught error;
vm_unwind takes a stop depth, so a caught trap kills every frame above the
catching one exactly as an uncaught trap would, then releases only what the
try region owned in the catching frame (drop-entry diff against the handler
pc) and resumes at the handler; RET/RET0 drop the catch frames of the frame
they leave; TRAPF resumes instead of returning when the trap was caught
- builtin.c: err_fill allocates the method/msg Texts into the record the
compiler owns, so the pending error never has to outlive the landing
- loader.c: TRY's handler target validated like a jump, error register like
any register operand; err_fill arity
- lexer/token/ast/parser: `try`/`catch` keywords; `try expr catch (e) expr`
and `catch (e) { block }`, newline allowed before `catch`; try binds looser
than every operator, so `try a / b catch (e) 0` catches the division
- types.ml: predeclared `Error` record (merged table only), catch binding,
arm-type agreement reported only when both arms are confidently typed
- owner.ml: analyze_try — the catch arm is an alternate flow join off the
entry state, the error record is an owned handler-scope local
- emit.ml: TRY/body/ENDTRY/JMP + handler prologue (NEW Error, err_fill),
join drops on both arms, `Error` class entry only for programs that catch
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Modules: `use`/`pub`, directory-as-module, per-module symbol resolution (a
flat first-wins merge silently ran the wrong `pub fn` body), six reserved
stdlib namespaces typed UNKNOWN-BUT-RESERVED.
- Surface: `and`/`or` (own precedence tier, short-circuit, Bool-only), `${}`
interpolation desugared at parse time, `const`, break/continue with
drop-correct exits, do-while, inline-fn rejection.
- switch expr/stmt: required `default` over scalars/Text, arm unification,
EQ/EQS+JZ lowering, per-arm drop scopes with N-way JOIN-DROP; `default`
sorted last by a shared lowering order (textual order made arms dead).
- typedef records: structural, same shape = one class entry; `?name: T`
nullable-by-shape; emit_ctor fills omitted defaults; `type` as field name.
- Enum variants: all-bare unions = int ordinals; any-payload = one class
entry per variant, tag IS the header class_id (no header field, no format
bump); exhaustive switch without `default`; arity checked both directions.
- Payload escape modeled as move-out (pointer-kind fields only — a scalar
escape is a copy); caller reaps owned heap temps passed by borrow: two
unbounded LSan-blind leaks, 10.5 MB -> 1.5 MB flat over 300k iterations.
- Fixed en route, each with a RED repro: dead E209 builtin-arg check and
`int_to_text` missing from both types.ml builtin tables (both segfaulted
wovm), multi-file phantom double-report, emit_ctor's field temp clobbering
dst in tail position (pre-existing), warnings swallowed without an error.
- Two fenced VM builtins: `int_to_text` (13), `variant_tag` (14).
- 14+565 unit (was 14+401), corpus 71 (was 32) plain and under wovm_asan,
wovm-test + cli_smoke green. Log-watcher 307 -> 93 diagnostics (85 E101 /
4 E207 / 1 E208 / 3 W202); the 5 non-E101 residuals await Task 7 grammar.
- 16 tasks complete: arena, object model, borrow word, containers,
RC + budgeted cycle collector, wob_build, validating loader,
interpreter core (dual dispatch), object opcodes, drop-map unwinding,
builtins + DB_STUB + TRAP, ICALL, wovm CLI + just recipes
- 13 test suites × 2 dispatch flavors (ASan+UBSan) + CLI smoke, all green
- .wob v1 format pinned in src/wob.h + docs/plan/oop-vm/00-wob-format.md
- wo-rt.c reference event-loop preserved for sub-project 2
This is Iteration 2 of the OOP milestone; compiler front (Iteration 3)
is in progress on this branch. They meet at Iteration 4 (emitter+e2e).
