- 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/

- 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.
- Gates: corpus 103/0, test_wal 156/0, web-app 26/0, oop-accept ALL MET.

- 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)

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.

- `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
- employee seed/list/staff/raise/drop now compile+run; only `report`
(group-by aggregation + projection record) remains
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `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
the range var bound to the navigation's element class
- fixture run/db-query-relations proves both directions; oop-e2e 75/0,
woc-test 566/0, log-watcher 7/0
- still ahead for employee: order/take, group-by aggregates, projection
records, delete + update-through-row
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- 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)
- fixture run/db-query-scan (where-filter + select-whole + select-field);
oop-e2e 74/0, woc-test 566/0, log-watcher 7/0
- SLICE scope: group-by aggregation, order/take, and ref/backlink
navigation are the next chunk (employee report/staff/raise need them)

- 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
- old "bare insert is an Ident" unit test rewritten to the new
contract; runner's loader mirror accepts id 61; goldens re-blessed
- gates: oop-accept ALL CRITERIA MET, oop-e2e 71/0, woc-test 566/0,
wovm-test green, log-watcher 7/0
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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

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
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.
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).
- ast.ml: Added Nullable variant to field_ty; param.ty/method_sig.ret/method_decl.ret now use field_ty
- parser.ml: Parse ? prefix for field types, return types, parameters
- dump.ml: Render ?T in --dump-ast output
- types.ml: New typechecker (Task 6) with nullable field-kind derivation (WO_K_NULLABLE=6)
- dune: Added types module
- Added golden test fixtures for nullable types and statement/expression parser
- Added implementation plan doc
