- rename the two libraries: writeonce-framework -> writeonce-serve
(`use serve`), wo-html -> writeonce-view (`use view`). Names say the
ROLE now; every sample, script, gate and live doc follows
- stories/specs/plans keep the old names: they are dated records, and
both library READMEs carry a "renamed 2026-08-25" note
- serve/http/files.wo: StaticFiles { dir, max_bytes } — traversal
refused not normalised, extension content types, attachment
disposition for archives. Lifted out of the shop, which had said in
a comment that it belonged in the framework
- shop drops its private copy and mounts the framework's
- site: /dl/*path over $WO_DIST (default ./dist), 16 MiB ceiling
- /install gains supported systems — Linux x86-64, glibc >= 2.38,
not musl — read off `file` and the binaries' GLIBC_ symbol
versions, not off a wish list; plus GitHub release as primary,
/dl as mirror, and the sha256 verify step
- site-accept: 17 -> 21 checks (supported systems, gzip download with
a binary-safe probe, checksum, /dl traversal 404)
Verified on 192.168.0.165: the real 960,820-byte tarball downloads
as application/gzip and its sha256 matches the published digest.
Gates: oop-accept MET, site 21/0, web-app 46/0, fibers 10/0,
db-actor 8/0; shop rebuilt and its /assets served by the framework.

- layout/logo.wo: the mark as inline SVG — dark tile, two-stroke "W"
(white then accent blue). One source: nav brand + /favicon.svg
- favicon/controller.wo: GET /favicon.svg, image/svg+xml, day cache
- install/: GET /install — toolchain tarball, PATH, verify, first
project, build/run, adding a dep. Copy from the real install README
- packages/: GET /packages + /packages/:name — catalogue with the
[deps] line, what each library gives you, and a usage snippet.
Index cards are child components (multi Component)
- wo-html: page_head(title, head, body) and a `head` slot on Layout —
a favicon link or meta tag had nowhere else to go; page() passes ""
- header: Install/Tutorial/Packages/GitHub, brand shows the mark
- main.wo: SITE_HOST picks the interface (loopback default), bound
address printed at startup
- site-accept: 11 -> 17 checks (install, packages x2, 404, favicon,
inline logo)
Verified on 192.168.0.165:8080 — every route, favicon bytes, and the
mark rasterised at 256px and 32px.
Gates: oop-accept MET, site 17/0, web-app 46/0, fibers 10/0,
db-actor 8/0; shop rebuilt clean.

- 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
- story 37 landed and moved to done/

- render() bodies: one HTML line per 'h = h ..' statement, single-
quoted attributes, ${} holes, esc() on data — el() chains gone
- discovered + recorded gap #3: no multi-line expressions or literals
(leading/trailing .. and paren grouping all reject at NEWLINE) —
exactly the tax story 37's raw literal deletes
- 37-target comment blocks dropped (bodies now self-explanatory; the
README states the delta); rebuilt + full buy-flow re-smoked (178.0
total, stock 12->10, 409, traversal 404)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- separate view.html files dropped; every render() now carries its
'-- 37 target:' literal above the hand-lowered body — the pair is
the DX referendum in one file
- story 37 re-pointed: raw multi-line literal + {{ }} auto-escaped
typed holes + {!! !!} raw slots; structural control stays if/for;
w:if/w:for and .html files demoted to later; forks revised
- rebuild verified on untouched toolchain
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- view.html per feature + layout app/header/footer.html: the markup-
first form woc will compile ({{}} auto-escaped, w:if/w:for,
{!! !!} slots, w:component sections); inert today, verified not to
disturb the build
- README: pair is the DX referendum — .html is the target feel,
view.wo is today's cost; doctrine line reworded (templates compile
or don't exist)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- parse.wo: ANY Transfer-Encoding header is 400-and-close (RFC 9112
§6.1) — silently treating chunked as body-less was the smuggling
door the dup-CL fix left open
- net.listen/listen_unix backlog 64 -> 1024: the soak's connect bursts
overflowed the kernel accept queue and BLACK-HOLED clients (three-way
handshake done, server never sees the conn — 35-70 stuck per run,
fully reproduced then gone at 1024; kernel clamps via somaxconn)
- web-app gate grows to 46 checks: TE-reject; the 1k soak — 500 real
conns all served + 500 idle conns all evicted, server fds home
(45 -> 45), RSS 24MB, healthy after
- battery green (site restart + fibers-TSan legs flaked under parallel
battery load, both clean serially — the standing flake pair)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- runtime ids 91-95: net.read_dl/accept_dl/write_dl (per-call deadline,
nil/false = the EXPECTED timeout; ms<=0 = old behavior bit for bit),
net.listen_unix (unlink-before-bind, O_NONBLOCK on the listener —
probe-found: accept4's flag covers accepted sockets only), net.peer
- plane: one-op-per-park stays law — deadlines ride one per-shard
TIMEOUT tick (sentinel user_data) + post-CQE expiry sweep +
POLL_REMOVE tombstone; epoll's deadline scan grew the fd-park case;
fibers POOL instead of freeing mid-run (stale-CQE UAF); plain parks
zero park_deadline (no stale sleep deadlines)
- probe: all five seams verified on BOTH WO_IO backends (timeout
timing exact, peer round-trip, unix rebind)
- framework: parse_request grows first_ms/read_ms; serve_conn — the
keep-alive loop with deadlines where parked idle conns are LEGAL
(close-when-idle RETIRED); App.handle_conn exposes it; plain serve()
unchanged for simple apps
- web-app: app-owned accept_dl loop + ConnWorker actor per connection
(each builds its own App; cross-shard placement rides the DB actor);
WA_IDLE_MS knob; gate grows to 41 checks — two slow requests served
in PARALLEL, stalled client evicted at the idle deadline, slow-loris
torn at the read deadline (400)
- docs: story 35 -> done with banner; SQE/CQE design spec LANDED (was
the review doc); ledger rows (timeouts/unix/keep-alive/peer), graph
(NETSEAM cleared, KEEPAL done), builtin-surface rows, runtime
CODE-LOGIC section, board entry
- battery 13/13 fresh-built
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- progress ledger with commit ids + the two en-route compiler/runtime
fixes; pending list carries each task's remaining shape and the
disclosed deviations (scalar replies v1, three-argument monitor)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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
- battery 12/12 fresh-built (ASan+TSan lanes in fibers/db-actor green)

- docs/examples/wo-html: library dep — esc(), element builders,
Tailwind-style utility sheet as one static string, page() shell;
self-contained responses, no CDN/JS/build step
- docs/examples/site: the language tutorial served by the language —
9 seeded chapters in a @table (hello/values+bitwise/containers/
classes/optionals+traps/tables/actors/deps/serving), server-rendered
via wo-html, seed-if-empty so WAL restarts keep admin edits
- routes: / index, /ch/:slug (styled 404), /health, POST /admin/ch/
:slug (bearer handler-side — mechanism framework's, policy app's;
form-encoded title/body update by assignment, 302 back)
- chapter code samples use the lexer's \$ escape to show ${...}
literally; .. never straddles newlines (accumulator style)
- gate: scripts/site-accept.sh + just site — TWO file:// dep remotes,
11 checks incl. authed-edit-survives-restart; /health polling, no
boot-race sleep
- README: run + nginx sketch for writeonce.de; CODE-LOGIC beside code
- full battery 13/13 (site gate included)

- Req grows internal conn field (net.Conn, filled by parse) — handlers
touch it only through ws_accept
- ws_upgrade_valid: RFC 6455 §4.2.1 (GET, Upgrade token, Connection
token list, 24-char key, version 13); ws_accept_key pure
(base64(sha1(key+GUID)) — the runtime vector already pins the RFC
worked example); ws_accept writes the 101 and returns the fd;
hijacked() = the status-101 sentinel
- serve.wo: 101 skips serialize AND close — the loop forgets the fd
and returns to accept; plain HTTP byte-identical (web-app 26/26)
- codec + end-to-end proof land with the chat sample's gate; battery
12/12 (fibers TSan leg flaked empty under load, 10/10 on rerun;
web-app restart leg has a pre-existing 0.5s boot race, noted)

- one iteration by directive 2026-08-23: call() parks with typed reply
(envelope kinds 5/6 over the DB-RPC park), mailbox cap 1024 +
WO_T_ACTOR fail-fast, monitor(addr, msg) one-way, time.after
one-shot no-cancel
- story 34 resolved: C builtins sha1/sha256/hmac_sha256 over Bytes,
RFC vectors gated
- WS pure .wo: handler-owned upgrade (ws_accept + hijack sentinel),
frame codec over Bytes via 36's bitwise, two actors per connection
(sole-reader + sole-writer)
- chat sample: registry + room actors, python raw-RFC6455 gate —
cross-shard functional, 1k soak, SIGTERM drain, battery unchanged
- status PROPOSED — awaiting review before the plan
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- story 34: premise fixed — iteration 36 landed bitwise/hex, digests
and HMAC now expressible in pure .wo; C-builtin vs pure-.wo is the
story's brainstorm call, not an impossibility
- dependency graph: crypto gate names story 34; net-seam gate names
story 35; radix gate corrected — 22 benched the DB, router scan
still unmeasured, perf-targets entry first
- framework README ledger: timeouts/unix/peer rows point at story 35;
ETag row at story 34; path-matching row repointed off iteration 22
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- brings time.ticks builtin (id 84), bench sample + campaign driver
(scripts/db-bench.py), just db-bench/db-bench-quick recipes, first
baseline recorded, story 22 to done/, postgres study cards
- conflicts resolved: board in-progress table (iteration 36 +
framework rows kept, db-bench row now "22 landed"; dangling order
anchor repointed); story 36 moved back to in-progress/ (dir-rename
inference dragged it to done/ — 36 still awaits the manual pass)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- framework README: three rows still said "until fibers/shards" /
"fibers (11)" — now "arc landed 2026-08-21, parked until own slice";
ledger date 2026-08-22
- dependency graph: crypto-fork gate note updated — bitwise + hex
landed with iteration 36, digests expressible in pure .wo; story
34's brainstorm still owns the pure-.wo vs C-builtin call
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- owns the framework ledger's three seam rows; deadlines compose with
the arc's park plane (POLL_ADD+TIMEOUT fork recorded); framework
knobs explicitly out of scope; stalled-client soak in acceptance
- board + table rows (held seqs bumped); pairs naturally with 24
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- SHA-1 (WS-handshake hard req, RFC 6455 worked example as acceptance),
SHA-256, HMAC-SHA256 over Bytes; hand-rolled C per doctrine, FIPS/RFC
vector fixtures; four forks recorded (namespace, shape, source, file)
- gates chain item 24; digest floor for held 21 + ETag row; 24's
dependency note repointed; board + table rows (held seqs bumped)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- file path IS the wal; dir form byte-identical; one fork (nonexistent
path semantics) leaning recorded; off-chain, driver-only
- board + story table rows (held tail seqs bumped)

- 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
- proof: test_table wo_idx_probe suite (RED first), corpus
query-index-probe 105/0, full battery green, TSan clean, two
campaigns pass the refreshed baseline
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- constraints-and-grammar: gram.y PK/FK productions, pg_constraint,
RI trigger semantics; writeonce direction — @key as unique alias
(id stays THE key), ref actions (@on_delete), backlink-implies-index
(improves on postgres' not-auto-created FK index)
- indexing-and-point-lookup: AM roster + algorithms (Lehman-Yao,
linear hashing), TID = row address; writeonce gap — probe walks
slabs while idx_bucket exists; O(1) slice direction, non-goals
- card index updated; Rust-era plan-10/11/12 links unlinked (rot)
- docs/guides/database-developer-subagent.md: format, paste-ready
agent definition (doctrine/file map/gates), verification, division
of labor

- bench/baseline.json: 74 metrics from the first full campaign;
tolerances tuned by a two-run repeatability check (mix* 50%,
read/query 35%, rest 15% — rationale in _config)
- gate bites: --check mode; doctored copy fails, both real runs 74/0
- headline: durable seed 4.5k/s vs ram 297k/s (23's case); reads
O(table) at ~1.5k/s; mixread 1280 vs 21 ops/s single-vs-multi
(the arc's price); msgrate 13.4M vs 2.45M (mutex-inbox number)
- arc delta recorded in story 8; findings in sample README
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Mixer actors: 90/10 read/write, per-actor histograms merged through
the store itself (Hist rows) — exact aggregate percentiles
- msgrate: one-way flood at a worker-placed sink; measured 15.3M
msgs/s same-heap vs 2.06M cross-shard — the mutex-inbox number
- finding: point lookups are O(table) (probe walks all slabs), so
read-heavy mix is quadratic in store size — all-mode calibrated to
N/10 mix ops; the number 22 exists to publish
- TSan clean both shard counts (setarch -R, fibers-gate pattern)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- seed/read/query/write/wal/verify/verify-acked + all (one-process
campaign: RAM store dies with the process)
- per-op time.ticks, 1us-bucket histogram percentiles (reservoir
deviation: no element-write/sort in language; better tail anyway)
- Meta expectation rows ride the same WAL verify checks
- finding: hand-built multi<TableClass> SEGVs on drop (elems classed
OWNED, refs are scalar ids) — worked around, recorded
- finding: reads ~1.6k/s p50 595us vs 287k/s inserts — probe walks
all slabs; the number 22 exists to surface
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- worker DB builtins marshal to shard 0: requester-side slot encode
(VM heaps never read cross-shard), owner executes serialized in
adopt, reply unparks via new WO_PARK_INBOX park + envelope 3/4
- engine gains thread-agnostic slot entry points (insert_slots,
update_field_slot, val_encode/clone, wo_db_exec_req); traps and
messages byte-identical to the local path
- main.c: engine + replay boot BEFORE shards spawn; workers assert
rt.db/rt.wal NULL; busy shard adopts inbox once per slice
- latent stage-1 bug fixed: shared io_uring params static raced by
lazy worker init lost park wakes (~1/20 hangs); params per-vm,
short submit now fails loud
- new sample docs/examples/db-actor + just db-actor gate 8/0 (multi
x3, uring/epoll forced, single byte-exact, WAL replay pair);
ASan+TSan 6/6; full battery green
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- five-property map in marker doc: atomicity/durability/recovery
proven or held (18); concurrency control = stage 3's property;
space reclamation RAM done (slot reuse), disk = new story 32
- story 08: three stage-3 criteria (one commit per write RPC +
ack-after-owner-fsync, workers WAL-free + replay-before-serve,
no torn reads under TSan corpus); arc plan stage 3 carries them
- refine/32-wal-checkpoint.md: snapshot + truncate, bounded replay,
crash-during-checkpoint safe; four forks; after 23
- chain now stage 3 -> 22 -> 31 -> 24 -> 23 -> 32 in all 10 docs;
boards + seq bumps synced
