- database/src/table.{c,h}: per-shard per-class slabs (256 rows,
malloc'd, never moved -- row addresses stable for 9b's row views),
occupancy bitmap, LIFO slot reuse, open-addressing id hash with
tombstones (ids never 0, never reused)
- field encoding walks the same .wob class-table kinds the VM walks:
scalars raw (WO_NIL_SCALAR passes through), Texts copied to db_text,
owned objects flattened recursively to db_rec, containers
element-wise; GCREF refused at encode (the GC bulkhead, defensively)
- two one-way copy gates: insert copies VM values in, read allocates
fresh VM values out -- no VM pointer in a slab, no slab pointer in
the VM, proven by mutating originals after insert
- id discipline: per table per shard, S+1 step N; owner = (id-1) % N;
N-parametric, runs at N=1 until iteration 8, tested at N=3
- choke points: wo_row_insert/wo_row_remove carry the INDEX HOOK
sites Task 4 attaches to; nothing else mutates storage
- runtime/Makefile links database/src into every wovm + test binary
- test_table 827/0 ASan+UBSan; oop-e2e 71/0; log-watcher 7/0;
binding doc docs/plan/oop-vm/04-db-binding.md; CODE-LOGIC.md beside
the code; plan Task 1 checked off

- 08-builtin-surface.md: containers copy a TEXT element/key/value; a freshly
built Text is the caller's to drop, a value read out of a place keeps its
owner; OWNED/GCREF still move and set's @gc retention gap stays open
- 00-status.md: the borrowed-Text double free is struck through as closed by
copy-on-push, with the concrete failure it fixed; new gap recorded — a
blocking accept/read swallows SIGTERM, which belongs to iteration 8's event
loop rather than a patch to the blocking calls

Found by driving the compiled log-watcher's third path — the MCP server. It now
answers real JSON-RPC over HTTP: initialize returns protocolVersion/serverInfo,
tools/list returns the full tool list (1049 bytes of generated JSON), and an
unauthorized request gets 401 {"error":"unauthorized"}. corpus 71/0, woc 565/0,
wovm gates green.
- lexer: `\r` and `\0` escapes. Without `\r` a program cannot write CRLF at
all — the server's `index_of(buf, "\r\n\r\n")` was searching for a literal
backslash-r, so it never found a header terminator and hung on every request
- parser: an interpolated sub-expression now mints node ids from the OUTER id
space. A fresh sub-parser started at 1, so `${...}` nodes collided with the
file's own nodes — and every side table (drops, moves, rc, masks, f_decl) is
keyed by node id. Surfaced as WO-E404 "ownership table names `headers`,
which has no register"; silent misattribution otherwise
- types.ml: `net.Conn` is a reserved SCALAR type (a file descriptor). It was
falling through as "some user class", i.e. WO_K_OWNED, so the frame would
DROP an integer at scope end
- types.ml: confident_typ knows `..` yields Text. Interpolation desugars to a
Concat chain, so without it every interpolated value looked underivable —
which is why the `+`-on-Text check missed two live sites in the workload
- `m[k]` on a map is now the OPTIONAL read (nil for a missing key), while
`get(m, k)` stays the asserting one that traps KEY. That is what makes
`let v = m[k]; if v != nil` — the workload's header lookup — work.
trap/missing-map-key now pins `get(...)`, and the surface doc records the
split
- json.encode of a `json.Value` emits it verbatim (kind 255): an echoed id was
coming back as "1" instead of 1
- disasm: TRY/ENDTRY render instead of ?OP32/?OP33
- status board: the push-of-a-borrowed-Text gap is now recorded with the
concrete failure it produces (tools/call tail_log), plus the leaked
temporary-record shell found in the same disassembly

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

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

- 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).
