The branch was 17 ahead / 25 behind with 11 conflicting files, and drifting
further: db.c had been rewritten twice on master since (group commit, then
compaction). Resolved rather than rebased so both histories stay legible.
Conflicts, and how each was settled:
- db.c: BOTH semantics kept. Master's fatal path and compaction check now sit
behind the branch's `table_is_durable` predicate, in all three inline arms —
a volatile table reaches neither the barrier nor the compaction check
- db-bench sample: every mode from both sides (growth, growth-verify, randread,
replayseed, wmix) and ONE `boot` mode, which both sides had added
independently
- db-bench.py: all six legs kept. Both sides had also grown the same
WAL-size helper under different names; collapsed into one
- perf-targets: the branch's §5 (RAM ceiling) then master's §6/§7 — master's
numbering had already assumed a §5 it did not have
- story frontmatter: master's `status` (the landing truth) plus the branch's
`readiness` axis. 03 would have read `done` + `refine`, which is a
contradiction — it was brainstormed and landed on master, so `ready`
- board: both standup blocks newest-first; master's chain rows (a superset);
the branch's databasev2 1-2 rows with master's 3-4. Fixed a stray `|` in
master's row 3
- baseline: master's, then REGENERATED from a full campaign — 143 metrics,
132 checks, 0 failures with both sides' legs present
TWO HALF-EXPOSED FEATURES FIXED, because the merge rule is that master gets
no feature that is honoured in name only:
- `resident: keys` PARSED, set a .wob flag, and did nothing: rows stayed fully
resident. A developer could declare a 120 GB table keys-resident, watch it
compile, and be OOM-killed. The loader now REFUSES it with a message naming
what to write instead, until tasks 5c/5d land. The compiler still parses it
and its AST golden still passes, so the grammar work stays tested
- `durable: false` was honoured ONLY on the inline path. wo_db_exec_req had no
guard at all, so a volatile table written from an actor on a worker shard
would still be logged — precisely porch's session-table case, and precisely
what iteration 2 exists to provide. All three request-path arms now carry the
same predicate. Found by reading the merged code, not by a test: the obvious
probe runs main() on the primary and therefore only exercises the inline path
Verified on the merged tree: wovm-test 0, woc-test 0, oop-e2e 122/0,
residency-accept 8/0, db-bench 132/0, linkcheck clean.

Task 3 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-26-table-residency.md.
- NO LAYOUT CHANGE. The plan said to add descriptor fields; the descriptor
already had a `flags` u32 with only bit0 used, so both properties ride
spare bits (WO_CLASSF_VOLATILE 0x02, WO_CLASSF_RESIDENT_KEYS 0x04). A v7
class record is byte-identical in shape to a v6 one, which is a much
smaller and safer change than the plan assumed
- both spelled as the NON-default, so a zero flags word means exactly what
every pre-v7 image meant: durable, every row resident. A non-@table class
has both clear by construction
- the loader refuses the meaningless pair (bit1+bit2) independently of woc,
on the standing principle that what the loader accepts the interpreter
trusts. Verified by FORGING the flags word in an otherwise valid image,
since woc will not emit one: flags=6 gives "durable:false with
resident:keys", flags=8 still gives "unknown flags"
- WOB_VERSION 6 -> 7. Kept because an OLDER runtime reading a v7 image would
otherwise treat a volatile table as durable and quietly disagree with its
own source. loader.c's check is exact-match, so a v6 image is refused
rather than read with the bits clear — verified by patching a v7 header
back down to 6
GAP FOUND AND CLOSED: woc ACCEPTED `durable: false, resident: keys`. Task 1's
steps covered duplicates and bad values but never the combination, and the
plan had only put that refusal in the loader. The spec wants both, so the
compiler now refuses it too (WO-E102, checked after the argument list is
complete since it is a property of the pair). A compile error is the one a
developer can act on.
VERSION DRIFT: the constant lives in FOUR places, not one. wob.h,
emit.ml:157, disasm.ml:186, and compiler/test/runner.ml:2405 — the last is a
deliberately independent reimplementation of the loader battery, and it
caught the drift as 14 failures rather than silently passing. Its flags mask
and the combination refusal are now in sync too, which is the point of it
being independent rather than shared.
Gates: woc-test 557/0, 18 runtime suites 0 fail, 18 ISO-flavour suites 0
fail, cli_smoke OK, oop-e2e 118/0, employee 8/0, db-actor 8/0, site 21/0.
Zero goldens moved (git diff over golden/ empty).

- lexer: backtick raw text literal — content verbatim, no escape
processing, common source margin removed at lex time; `${ }` raw and
`{{ }}` auto-escaping holes
- `{{ e }}` desugars to `esc(${e})` in parser.ml — a Call on the `esc`
in scope, so types/owner/emit/.wob/VM are untouched
- WO-E004 unterminated raw literal; WO-E005 newline inside "..." —
closes a hole where a missing quote silently ate the rest of the file
- wo-html: `Component` interface, `render_all`, `Layout`, README
- framework: `ok_html` joins ok_text/ok_json in http/types.wo
- site + shop restructured to one-feature-one-module MVC (view +
controller per directory, model at the root, bootstrap-only main)
- removed the filler `pad: Int` convention — verified unnecessary for
plain classes, interface dispatch, containers and actors
- corrected recorded claims: gap #1 blocks neither the build nor the
layout; a class crosses module lines, only a free fn is scoped
- docs/guides/language-surface.md — the full grammar inventory

- monitor(watched, observer, msg): registration lives on the watched
actor's home thread (kind-7 envelope cross-shard); actor_die walks
the list; already-dead fires NOW; the notice msg moves; a full
observer's notice drops with a stderr line (no fiber to trap)
- time.after(ms, addr, msg): per-shard timer list riding the deadline
machinery (uring tick min + epoll timeout both include timers;
fired from the same sweep); ms <= 0 delivers now; NO cancel — the
generation-counter idiom is pinned by run/timer-generation
- runtime_notify: one runtime-sourced delivery path (notices, timers) —
reserve-or-drop, cross-shard via kind-0 envelopes
- compiler: monitor typed as a bespoke free fn (notice typed against
the OBSERVER's mailbox — the three-argument deviation, disclosed);
time.after as a stdlib row whose msg arg is EXEMPT from the module-
call fresh-arg drop (it moves — the double-own bug the timer fixture
caught); owner move slots for both
- corpus: run/monitor-death (trap-death + already-dead notices),
run/timer-delivery (armed + immediate), run/timer-generation
- teardown drops undelivered notices and unfired timers; battery 13/13

- 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
- pre-existing compiler bug found + fixed: a try ARM yielding a Text
PLACE (bare e.msg, try box.field) aliased a register the arm's scope
end freed — ASan use-after-free, SEGV on the next unwind's
double-walk; emit_try now applies copy_place_text to both arm
results; pinned by corpus run/catch-msg-place

- engine: wo_idx_probe answers single-column equality from the index
hash buckets (idx_hash_key1 reproduces idx_hash bit for bit; verify
compares exactly as the slab walk did, so results identical);
composite indexes keep the walk; both executors wired (local + DB
actor RPC)
- compiler: probe_key_of_where lowers "var.col == key" on an indexed
column to DB_PROBE; all where guards still run (guard stays the
final arbiter); keys = ident/int-literal only; Float/Bytes excluded
(engine raw-eq narrower than VM float-eq)
- measured: reads 1.3k -> 1.3M ops/s, p50 600us -> 1us (~x850);
query x830; mixread 1.3k -> 89k s1, 21 -> ~1.9k sN
- gate policy moved into the driver (tolerance_for: refresh-proof);
latency floors max(4x,100us); quick mode skips poll-bound mix
floors; both tolerance classes proven to bite

query-index-probe 105/0, full battery green, TSan clean, two

- 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.

- 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),

- emit_return's place test matched only bare Ident/Field/Index, so
`return "${p.content}"` (p a loop borrow) returned the part's own
string; the caller's eventual drop freed it under the container —
arena corruption surfacing two requests later (multipart slice)
- the return test now sees through Interp exactly as copy_place_text
does (is_borrowed_value_t, container reads excluded); bare
Ident/Field/Index behavior at return unchanged
- interp-borrowed-field fixture grows the return flavor (fn first),
50 iterations exact

- copy_place_text matched only bare Ident/Field/Index, so a Text-typed
single-segment interpolation ("${r.method}", r a loop borrow) passed
the place's own register through a binding/assignment boundary — the
local aliased the row's field and its overwrite freed it
- release-build crash; invisible to ASan (in-arena free, no redzones)
- now asks is_borrowed_value_t && not is_container_read — exactly
drop_fresh_text's place test; Int segments (fresh int_to_text) and
container reads (already copies) stay uncopied as before

[deps] entries now resolve to fetched, locked checkouts and compile as
module roots.
- resolve_deps (driver): .wo-deps/<name>/ cache beside wo.toml, wo.lock
pinning name -> commit SHA. Cold+unlocked: clone at the manifest rev,
record HEAD. Cold+locked: clone and checkout the LOCKED sha — a moved tag
cannot change the build. Warm+locked: HEAD==lock -> zero network.
Divergence is WO-E106 "lock drift" naming both SHAs and pointing at
--update-deps; every git failure (missing binary, bad URL, bad rev,
missing locked commit) is WO-E106 naming the dep and step. Guard rails:
fetched dep must be a writeonce project; a dep with its own [deps] is
refused (flat-only); dep name colliding with a local module dir is
WO-E107. All git via the git binary (Sys.command; output reads through a
temp file) — no network code in the compiler. Full clone, not --depth 1
(a locked SHA must be reachable regardless of tag movement) — recorded
deviation from the plan's clone sketch.
- woc --update-deps <dir>: re-fetch at manifest revs, rewrite the lock.
- Multi-root compile: compile_image gains ~deps; app files first then deps
sorted by name; module_of_multi maps a dep file to `<name>` /
`<name>/<sub>`, so existing use/pub/collision machinery works across the
boundary unchanged. The app root's walk skips .wo-deps via the existing
dot-rule.
- Entry restriction: Emit.emit gains ?entry_ok (default true — test helpers
untouched); the driver excludes dep files, so a dependency's fn main is
never the entry.
Verified end to end against local file:// remotes: cold fetch + lock; `use
niceframework` + `use niceframework/strutil` build and run; offline rebuild
with the remote deleted; moved tag -> cold rebuild stays at the locked SHA;
--update-deps follows the tag and rewrites the lock; cache/lock drift,
transitive [deps], and name collision each produce their named diagnostic;
the dep's fn main (returning 99) never becomes the entry. woc-test 540/0;
oop-e2e 87/0.

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.

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);

GC-ness now comes from the inference pass, not only the annotation. A class is
traced if the structural SCC put it in `syms.traced`, OR (temporary bridge
until demand-promotion lands) it still carries `@gc`.
- Types.symbols gains a `traced : StringSet.t`; is_gc_class reads it (union'd
with the surviving @gc annotation). All symbols literals + both merges carry
the field.
- typecheck_all injects the classification once (Gcinfer.classify -> traced)
into the merged table AND every module table, before typecheck/owner/emit.
- emit.ml routes the class gc-flag and the union/drop decision through
is_gc_class instead of the raw `.is_gc`, so structurally-inferred gc classes
get the runtime flag. Field-kind derivation already routed through is_gc_class.
- gcinfer.traced_names exposes the traced set for injection.
Effect: docs/examples/gc-cycle now COMPILES with no annotation (the WO-E301
use-after-move at the ring-closing store is gone) — traced classes alias
freely. Bytecode is byte-identical to writing `@gc class Node`.
Verified: woc-test 566/0 (goldens unchanged — every current @gc class stays gc
via the annotation branch, and no golden has a structural-gc-non-annotated
class); oop-e2e 79/0 (gc corpus green).
Not in this slice: demand-promotion (the acyclic-aliased PriceCache case still
needs the @gc bridge) and @gc-in-source-as-error (Phase 2b); the ring RUNNING
(the RC runtime doesn't implement nullable-gcref `?Node` fields — Phase 3).
WO-W201 still fires on gc-cycle (retired in Phase 4).

- 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

- `e.field = v` where e is a table row lowers to DB_UPDATE_FIELD
(class, id, field, value) — the row's indexes maintained at the choke
point; heap-object field assignment still emits SETF unchanged
- `delete <row>` expression: DB_DELETE(class, id), yields the id so it
composes in `try delete x catch (e) nil` (restrict/trap surfaces
catchably); Delete AST node threaded through type/owner/dump/emit
- disassembly-caught bug fixed: in tail position dst == the builtin
window's first reg, so moving the id into dst clobbered the class id
— reserve dst past the window (the emit_ctor guard)
- run/db-update-delete fixture; oop-e2e up, woc-test 566/0,
log-watcher 7/0

- `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]`)

- `backlink C.f` field type: parsed, typed as `multi C`, and VIRTUAL —
filtered out of the stored row layout (no column, omittable in
ctor/insert), collected in clsrec.cr_backlinks
- reading a backlink (`d.staff`) lowers to DB_PROBE on the source
class's index for the backing column (backlink_target resolves the
(source class, index number); a backlink with no backing index has
no efficient read)
- `ref C` navigation (`e.dept.name`) chains: a ref value is the target
row's id, so a `Ref C` base navigates into C's fields exactly like a
table-class value, routing to DB_GET_FIELD both in typecheck and emit
- query navigation source `from s in d.staff`: emit_query evaluates the
nav expr to get its id-list instead of DB_SCAN; QNav typechecks with

- Ast.Query node + parser: `from <v> in <src> where* [group..into] [order
by] [take] select <e>`, positional `from` trigger so it stays a usable
identifier; select stays grammar-owned (no DbStub conflict)
- typecheck: range var bound to the source table class; a table-class
value is its row id at runtime but TYPES as the class, so `e.field`
checks against the class fields; result is `multi <select-type>`;
group/order/take/navigation diagnosed WO-E250 not-yet (honest edge)
- emit: `from/where/select` lowers to a bytecode LOOP over DB_SCAN's
materialized id list — DB_GET_FIELD per column read, where-guards skip
the push, select projects, result is a fresh multi; no plan tree, no
SQL text (disassembly-provable)
- field access on a @table-class value routes to DB_GET_FIELD instead of
GETF (clsrec.cr_is_table + is_table_class); non-table classes unchanged
so log-watcher is unaffected
- the ASan-caught bug kept in a comment: a table-class query element is a
SCALAR id, not an OWNED pointer — tagging the result multi OWNED dropped
an id as a pointer (SEGV in wo_drop_obj)

- .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
- fixtures: trap/db-unique-violation (code 10 exact) and
run/db-unique-catch (catchable dup, composite index accepts
duplicates, next id dense after a refusal)

- 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
slot (variable window documented in wob.h + format doc)
- the promised diff: trap/pricing-set-price-db-stub is now
run/pricing-set-price-insert printing engine-allocated ids;
durability smoke prints 1,2 then 3,4 across two WO_DATA runs

- 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

- 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

- 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

- 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

The unsoundness is closed. All four MCP tools now answer correctly over HTTP
(get_running_crons, list_logs, tail_log -> ["info two","error three"],
search_log -> its match) where `tail_log` used to return
{"isError":true,"text":"tool failed: not a text value"}. corpus 71/0,
woc 565/0, wovm gates green, ASan clean on the container fixtures.
- builtin.c: multi_push, map_set (key AND value) and multi_set COPY a TEXT
element into the container. The container's declared kinds already make it
the owner of what it holds, so storing a caller-owned pointer gave one
string two owners — `push(res, e.log_path)` freed a record's field out from
under it. OWNED/GCREF elements still move (not copyable; the @gc escape
keeps their counting), so `set`'s @gc gap is untouched and still recorded
- emit.ml: `drop_fresh_text` — after push/set and the `m[k] = v` / `m[i] = v`
sugar, a value that was freshly BUILT (call result, `..` chain,
interpolation) is dropped here, while a value read out of a place is left to
its owner. That asymmetry is the point: before the copy the borrowed case
double freed and the fresh case leaked
- obj.c: the runtime's output stream is line-buffered. A long-running program
writing progress with `print` was invisible when stdout was a file or a pipe
(full buffering), and a killed one lost its log entirely; byte-exact
fixtures are unaffected
- scripts/log-watcher-accept.sh + `just log-watcher`: the acceptance test for
the sample — compile, watch (alert), run (schedule), and three MCP checks.
Hardened after it lied to me: a per-run port (a stale server on a fixed port
answered for it), a connect-probe that fails loudly when OUR server did not
come up, replies read by Content-Length rather than to EOF (the sample never
closes), and kill -9 on teardown
- docs: the copy rule is in the builtin surface; the status board records the
gap as closed and adds the new one — a blocking accept/read swallows SIGTERM,
which belongs to the shard-actor runtime's event loop, not to a patch here

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 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...]`)

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 55 -> 48 (all json-rooted now). corpus 71/0, woc 565/0.
- emit.ml: a field default may now be `nil`, `{}` (a fresh empty container of

defaults) — the workload's `st: TailState = TailState {}` and
`scheduled: map<Text, CronWatch> = {}` shapes
- parser.ml/main.ml: a top-level `const` is visible to every file of its
module, not just its own file — files in a directory are one module by the
discovery contract, and the workload reads logtail.wo's `const CHUNK` from
mcp.wo. A file's own const still wins on a name collision

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

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

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;

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

- 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

Driving goal: compile docs/examples/log-watcher (1285 lines of .wo).
Diagnostics on that program: 481 -> 379; parse errors 85 -> 18.
tests/corpus via scripts/oop-e2e.sh stays 71 checks / 0 failures.
- ast.ml: `Let.ty` is a full `field_ty` (was a bare name), so `multi Text`,
`map<K, V>` and `?T` annotate a local; new `ListLit`/`MapLit` expressions;
`method_decl.is_static`; `field.pub_read`
- parser.ml: let annotations go through parse_field_ty; `[]`/`[a, b]` and
`{}` literals in expression position; `static const`/`static fn` in class
bodies (one token of lookahead — `static` stays an identifier);
`pub(read) field: T`; a `;` ends a statement on its own, so one-line
guard bodies (`{ skip(...); return; }`) parse
- emit.ml: list/map literals lower to multi_new/map_new + one multi_push per
element, element kinds from the destination's declared type (WO-E403 with
no typed destination, same rule multi_new already had); `static fn` gets a
receiverless method record (arg_cnt = params) and lowers `Cls.fn(args)`
through emit_direct with no `self`; a static can satisfy no interface
- types.ml: a written `let` annotation is now the authority for the binding's
type (the only thing that types `[]`/`{}`/`nil`); `static_method_of` +
static-call return types; method_info.is_static is wired from the AST
- owner.ml: container literals are fresh owned values, elements read in place
(inherits push()'s open borrowed-element gap, noted in the code)
- plan doc: `Spec:` header line so planboard's lint accepts the plan

- 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.
- `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.
