The verdict table's reject half is enforced: a Haxe habit fails loudly at
its own position with the doctrine reason, instead of a generic syntax
error — or, worst, compiling clean: `return super.f()` used to exit 0 (the
unresolved ident placeholder swallowed it).
- parser.ml: doctrine_reject_reason maps each rejected word to its spec
reason (inheritance quartet -> principle 4; cast; Dynamic/untyped ->
principle 13; macro; extern -> principle 10; operator). Fired at three
chokepoints: `class B extends A` (with skip-to-brace recovery so the body
still parses), an expression head (`super`, `cast 3`, `untyped x`), and a
top-level declaration head (`macro fn`, `extern fn`).
- types.ml: `Dynamic`/`untyped` as a TYPE name keep their WO-E225 site but
carry the doctrine message.
- corpus: compile-fail/{reject-inheritance,reject-cast,reject-dynamic}.
- catalog WO-E105 row; plan 8 Task 8 reject half ticked (#if still open);
board updated.
Verified: woc-test 540/0 + test_diag 14/0; oop-e2e 86/0; log-watcher 7/0;
employee 8/0; legit identifiers (`extended`) untouched.

The hybrid-boundary inversion is closed: a statically provable interface
violation now fails at COMPILE time instead of reaching wovm as an ICALL
that traps WO_T_BOUNDS at runtime.
- types.ml class_satisfies: the same rule emit.ml's `satisfies` builds
vtable rows from (instance method with matching name + parameter count
for every interface method; `static fn` never satisfies) — one rule, two
consumers, so the check and the vtable can never disagree.
- check_iface_boundary fires wherever a confidently class-typed value flows
into an interface-typed slot: call arguments against the callee's declared
parameters (free fns, methods off confident receivers, interface-method
sigs, statics — resolved exactly as confident_typ resolves returns),
annotated `let`s, and `return`s. Silent when underivable.
- The same per-argument pass extends the ?T boundary to CALL ARGUMENTS
(the previous slice covered stores/returns/operands): nil into a
non-nullable parameter is WO-E212, an unnarrowed ?T argument is WO-E211.
- tests/corpus/trap/unsatisfied-interface -> compile-fail/ with
fixture.code WO-E205, per the fixture's own standing instruction; its
header comment rewritten to the wired reality.
- The new arg checks caught a real mistyped signature in the sample:
log-watcher's rpc_error/rpc_result/call_tool declared `id: json.Value`
while every caller legitimately passes nil (JSON-RPC id-absent) — now
`?json.Value`; dispatch/call_tool/cron-row sites moved to the
bind-then-narrow idiom (including an `or`-guard narrowing:
`if spath == nil or spat == nil { return }`).
- Catalog: E205 gains its main-table row; the "owed gap" section is
rewritten as closed. Board known-gap struck through.
Verified: woc-test 540/0 + test_diag 14/0; oop-e2e 83/0 (fixture now
compile-fail, satisfying-class negative probe compiles clean); oop-accept
ALL MET; log-watcher 7/0; employee 8/0; gc-cycle clean.

The type system now keeps its nullability promise: a `?T` value cannot be
used, stored, or dereferenced as a plain `T` without narrowing. The canonical
evidence probe (return b.v where v: ?Int, fn -> Int) that compiled clean for
months now fails with WO-E211.
- WO-E211 (un-narrowed use): arithmetic and </<=/>/>= operands, and/or
operands (?Bool), interpolation segments, for-iterables, and returns whose
declared type is not nullable.
- WO-E212 (boundary): nil or ?T stored into a non-nullable slot — annotated
let, assignment to a confidently-typed local (cenv, never the placeholder
env — a placeholder target must stay silent) or a resolvable class field.
- WO-E213 (deref): field/index access through a possibly-nil base.
- Narrowing (locals only — a field place can be re-assigned between check
and use, so chains bind to a local first): `if x != nil { }` narrows the
branch; a DIVERGING then-branch (`if x == nil { return }`) narrows after
the if; `x != nil and x.n > 3` narrows and/or right operands
(short-circuit); `while x != nil` narrows the body. The narrow is
un-applied when an else-less then-env leaks out un-diverged (the existing
env-leak convention must not leak the narrow).
- No false positives by construction: env/cenv types are declared or
confidently inferred; the placeholder fallbacks are plain scalars, never
?T. The whole golden suite passed untouched (540/0).
- Samples updated to the bind-then-narrow idiom (log-watcher config decode +
supervisor lock/next_fire, gc-cycle ring print) — 22 genuine unnarrowed-nil
sites; employee needed zero changes. All acceptances green.
- Corpus: compile-fail/{nullable-unnarrowed-use,nullable-nil-into-plain,
nullable-deref-unchecked} + run/nullable-narrowing (all four forms) — 83/0.
- Catalog: E211/E212/E213 move from "Reserved, not yet emitted" to the main
table; nullable-types-implementation.md status flipped to ENFORCED
(historical record kept); plan 8 Task 6 ticked (boxed scalar cells
superseded by WO_NIL_SCALAR); board updated.
Verified: woc-test 540/0 + test_diag 14/0; oop-e2e 83/0; oop-accept ALL MET;
log-watcher 7/0; employee 8/0; gc-cycle ring prints + reclaims.

`@gc` is no longer part of the language: a developer never writes or mentions
it. GC-ness is decided entirely by inference (structural cycles + demand
promotion), which the earlier 7b commits made complete and precise.
- parser: `@gc` on a class is now WO-E104 ("GC-ness is inferred; run
`woc --dump-gc`. Remove it."). `is_gc` stays false; the class classifies by
inference. No `.wo` in the repo carries `@gc` anymore.
- types.ml: retired the WO-W201 machinery (suggest_gc_annotation,
has_recursive_structure(_type), has_unique_field, gc_suggestion_code) — it
suggested `@gc`, now obsolete since inference traces exactly those classes.
- runner.ml: deleted the 8 WO-W201 gc-suggestion test blocks; the @gc-exemption
test's `Cache` is made self-referential so inference classifies it gc without
an annotation.
- fixtures: dropped `@gc` from rc.wo (Cache demand-promotes via its escape),
elision.wo (Cache given a self-ref to stay structurally gc for the rc-elision
dump), pricing-demo.wo (PriceCache doesn't escape -> now owned), and the
abandoned-cycle/budget-steps corpus (Node is structurally gc). rc.wo keeps a
placeholder comment line so its line-indexed rc assertions hold. Goldens
re-blessed.
- docs: error catalog gains WO-E104 and marks WO-W201 retired; gc-cycle README
records the keyword removal.
Verified: woc-test 553/0 (was 566 minus the 13 retired WO-W201 checks),
test_diag 14/0, oop-e2e 79/0, employee 8/0, log-watcher 7/0. `git grep '@gc'`
finds only comments — success criterion 1 met.

- 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.
- Board renamed docs/plan/00-kanban.md -> docs/00-status.md and rebuilt: ▶ NEXT
PLAN pointer (iteration 4 — emitter, corpus, `woc build`) then six buckets —
stories, in progress, done, pending, discarded, learnings. It covered only the
Rust runtime before, so the whole OOP track was invisible. All 16 inbound refs
repointed; `Kanban:` banners renamed to `Status:`.
- New discarded.md (settled rejections with reasons: inheritance, `abstract`,
Money/SKU/Float, Dynamic/cast/macro/extern, AOT-to-C, Menhir, shared engine
state) and learnings.md (plumbed≠enforced, vacuous goldens, exit-0-wrong-
output, malloc-path ASan trick, deferred checks that never reach the VM).
- RECOVERED docs/plan/exploration/blue-green-vm/00-vision.md — gone from disk,
never committed (gitignored path), cited by five docs incl. principle 12.
Root cause was broader: all seven forward-roadmap plans in
docs/superpowers/plans/ were untracked and ignored, on one disk only. Dropped
the docs ignore rules with a do-not-re-add note; added __pycache__/*.pyc.
- Repaired broken links across docs/, 270 -> 36: fixes a regression from the
earlier reference/ -> .dev/reference/ move (relative paths at ../../ and
deeper were skipped), plus depth and reorg drift. The 36 residual point at
content that does not exist and need decisions, not paths.
- New spec docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-10-logwatcher-gap-closure-design.md,
applied: `and`/`or` verdict row; Part 3 gains `env` (six modules), swaps
time.mono for iso/local, adds 22 bare core builtins; throw/time.mono/is cut
(0 uses in the sample). Plan 8: Task 2 gains and/or, Task 5 drops throw,
abstract+`is` task deleted, 8/9 renumber to 7/8. Plan 9 gains core builtins.
Plan 10 gains the 307 -> 0 diagnostic gate. WO-E205 re-filed unreachable-by-
design. types.ml header drops its false satisfaction-set claim. 00-code-
review.md reduced to a stub — its rival Phase 1-4 roadmap retired.
Completes plan 2 Tasks 7-8. owner.ml: mutable-value-semantics flow analysis
producing the four plan-3 emitter tables (moves, drops incl. LIVE-MASK for trap
unwinding, rc with elision, residual borrow sites) plus WO-E301-304 two-site
diagnostics. Alias questions run over canonicalized places, so a double-mut
reached through let-bound aliases lands in the residual table like the direct
form; dump.ml's contract notes the emitter must coalesce guards per operand.
main.ml: directory discovery, cross-file programs (symbols merge before bodies
check), diagnostics ordered by (file,line,col), new WO-E214 for a name declared
in two files. New docs/plan/oop-vm/01-error-catalog.md (14 emitted + 10 reserved
codes), un-ignored so both plan tracks can cite it; justfile regains woc-*.
builtin_scalars is now the five that work: Int, Bool, Text, Timestamp, Id.
Money/SKU/Float and the abstract_types allowlist are gone — `abstract` never
lexed, and Float had no literal syntax and no wob kind, so no value could exist.
Fixtures and samples retype Money->Int, SKU->Text. The abstract newtype feature
is rejected outright (verdict row adopt->reject); haxe-parity Task 7 keeps `is`.
nullable-types-implementation.md corrected: ?T is plumbed but UNENFORCED
(E211-213 declared, never emitted; probe exits 0), handed to haxe-parity Task 6
as next work item. Records all 10 dead codes incl. E205 — interface satisfaction
is unchecked. crates/rt keeps its Money/SKU fixtures (opaque strings, Stage 2).
Gate: build warning-clean, 14 + 264 checks 0 failures, pricing golden exit 0,
docs/examples histograms unchanged (13/70, zero WO-E225).
