- keypool.wo:78,89 passed msg.window (µs) straight into pool_pack's
remaining_ms (ms) parameter on the first-hit and post-prune-reset

- fix: pool_pack(1, msg.window / 1000) at both sites — a 60s window
no longer reports reset_at ~16.7h away
- count/allowed were unaffected (computed independently); this only
hit the client-visible reset instant, on the two most common cases
(new key, window rollover)
- extended gate leg 16 to assert reset_at falls within a 5s band of

- add docs/examples/porch/middleware/keypool.wo: one PoolMsg (kind 1 =
count, kind 2 = begin placeholder for task 4), a Verdict class, a
fixed-size actor pool with a byte-sum-mod-N selector
- KeyActor.receive implements kind 1: reads the row, writes the new
count via field assignment (writes through, never delete+insert),
prunes a fully-elapsed window's row instead of resetting it
- window arithmetic on time.ticks(); reset instant sent back is built
from time.now() only
- call's reply must be a copyable scalar (WO-E226), so the count and
remaining window time are packed into one Int by the actor and
unpacked into Verdict by pool_count — the packing stays inside this
file, callers only ever see Verdict

- new `residency` leg in db-bench.py driving docs/examples/residency-bench:
two tables identical except the annotation, control cap + binding cap
- ITS OWN PROGRAM, not a db-bench mode: declaring a resident: keys table
is a WHOLE-PROGRAM constraint, so the no-WO_DATA refusal fires for
every mode in the module. Putting those classes in db-bench's shared
types made growth/ceiling/randread — which run without WO_DATA —
refuse to start. Caught by running the leg, not by reading it
- gates the RATIOS, waives the absolutes: ops/sec under a cap is swap
and disk I/O and belongs to the box. Same split randread makes
- rss_ratio 2.55 floor 2.0 tol 10% (structural, like bytes_per_row);
overcap_vs_swap_x 1.53 floor 1.0; in_ram_cost_x 4.23 ceiling 8.0;
all_collapse_x 105.4 floor 2.0
- all_collapse_x exists because the leg's FIRST run silently measured
nothing: at QUICK's 40k rows a 48 MiB cap binds neither mode, so the
"over-cap" half was not over cap. The cap now scales with N and the
leg asserts it binds
- verified the gate bites: rss_ratio 1.4, overcap_vs_swap_x 0.6 and
in_ram_cost_x 12.0 are all rejected
- task 7 closed: both criteria moved to Met with how each was verified

- the motivating workload was an audit log, which is append-only and so
argues for nothing. A catalogue is the real case: stable ids, and
stock moving on every order while name/price/sku sit still
- Product (durable, resident: all) and Cart (durable: false), with
place_order decrementing stock through a write-through field assign
- run `order` twice and stock goes 10 -> 7 -> 4: a level below the
seeded 10 can only mean an earlier order's UPDATE replayed. That is
the stronger claim — not just that inserts survive, but that a field
change does
- caught by running it three times: my first assertion required
before == 10, which only holds on a fresh seed and failed on the
third run even though the data was correct
- gate gains a leg for the update-replay claim; residency 12/0
- the commented resident: keys block now argues the DESIGN too: only
stock changes per sale, so appending the whole row would rewrite
every field to move one integer on a shop's hottest write path

- docs/examples/residency: one program, two tables filled by the same

and orders replay while sessions do not
- the example checks its own claim (exits 1 if a durable:false table

it in a print
- resident: keys is written out as a commented block with the loader's
exact refusal, so the frontier is visible in the example rather than
only in a story. It documents WHERE the refusal happens: woc compiles
it and emits a .wob; wovm exits 2, because the annotation is a
load-time property
- residency-accept gains two legs: the example runs and its restart
claim holds, and the refusal message the README quotes is checked so
doc and code cannot drift apart
- the gate writes the example's output to /tmp/residency.log,
banner-separated, for tail -F

(cherry picked from commit c9c7e03e62c3918cb65ef7994d1e33a0c5337b71)
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.

databasev2 3, task 6. Documentation, plus three gate-tolerance
corrections that are justified rather than silent.
- 04-db-binding.md: the NORMATIVE rule — compaction may run only where
nothing is staged (a correctness requirement, not scheduling), recovery
is unchanged, and a failed compaction is a missed optimisation rather
than a durability event
- database/src/CODE-LOGIC.md: why one file and not snapshot-plus-tail
(Postgres CANNOT compact — page deltas; ours are full row images, so a
compacted log IS a store), why rename is the whole crash-safety story,
why the dump flushes but does NOT fsync when it does, why the
replacement is preallocated, and where the trigger is checked
- README: the checkpoint knobs, the extended walstats line, the boot mode
- story -> status: done, with criteria split met/outstanding
- board: standup entry in the six-question shape, both rows rewritten
THE OBLIGATION IS AT THE COMPACTOR, not only in a spec: compaction moves
every record, so it invalidates every WAL offset iteration 2's
`resident: keys` stores, and the loop that knows each record's new
position must rebuild that map. Nothing fails today because that storage
half is unimplemented — it would fail later, looking like corruption.
Board claim corrected before it shipped: I wrote that the concurrency
chain is "complete". It is not — chain 5 stays in-progress because
databasev2 4's part B was never done and its premise was invalidated by
part A. Every link has landed its PLANNED work; that is a different
statement.
Gate tolerances, each with the measurement that justifies it:
- ckpt.pause_us_max is no longer gated relatively. The raw pause scales
with the live set and this workload's live set is not fixed (wmix's
hist_dump inserts a row per latency bucket), so gating it gates the
box. Added ckpt.pause_us_per_mb — the engine's own rate, gated for
real, and the metric that would have caught the 8x dump regression —
with the absolute 50ms budget still guarding the raw pause
- ram.*.msgrate 15% -> 70%. PRE-EXISTING, and measured: 10.7M-17.9M
msgs/sec across ten full runs, several predating this work — a 1.67x
spread against a 15% gate
- durable.sN.*.p99us 100% -> 300%, with more evidence than the first
widening: mixread 1043/2318/4147us, mixwrite 1623/4446us on the same
build. Floors stay the real guard and are not slack
Battery: wovm-test 36 suites 0 fail, woc-test, oop-e2e 119/0,
db-bench 117 checks 0 failures, linkcheck clean.

databasev2 3, task 5.
Full campaign, same workload twice, differing only in whether
checkpointing may fire:
- WAL used 1962358 -> 907094 bytes (2.16x reclaimed)
- boot 114 -> 64 ms (1.78x), median of 3
- stop-the-world pause max 2651us against a STATED 50ms budget
The budget is asserted, not assumed: 50ms is a stall a serving process
can absorb without a client seeing a timeout, and the leg fails if it is
exceeded. The pause is O(live rows) — at ~181 MB/s a 1GB live set implies
~5.5s, which is the number an incremental design must be bought against.
The spec deliberately did not buy it in advance.
FOUND BY MEASURING: the dump was 8x slower than it needed to be. It
flushed through wo_wal_commit, which fdatasyncs, so it paid one barrier
per 256 records. Intermediate durability there is worthless — the temp is
not authoritative until the rename and is fsynced once immediately before
it. With a single final barrier:
- ~107KB live: 23948us -> 2903us
- ~500KB live: 36361us -> 7526us
- ~1.98MB live: 107649us -> 13212us
- marginal ~22 MB/s -> ~181 MB/s, sync-bound to bandwidth-bound
Correctness re-proven after that change: wovm-test 36 suites 0 fail,
test_wal 760 pass including the 40-round kill-during-compaction battery.
Two measurement defects of my own, fixed rather than reported:
- boot measured through the driver's run() helper reported 251ms both
with and without checkpointing — run() samples RSS on a 250ms poll, so
every timing floors at the quantum. Measured directly instead, median
of 3
- ckpt.reclaim_x was recorded as lower-is-better by the default detector,
which would have PASSED "reclaimed nothing" and FAILED an improvement:
the feature's central claim, gated backwards. Now higher-is-better,
gated at 15% while the wall-clock metrics stay wide — waiving them all
would have left the leg ungated, part A's task 4 mistake
- sample gains a `boot` mode that does nothing, so boot time is boot time
- walstats now reports compactions, pause max/total and compacted bytes
- baseline refreshed from the FULL campaign (N=20000, crash_reps=3), and
a fresh full run passes 116 checks 0 failures
- gate bites: reclaim_x doctored to 1.0 -> FAIL on exactly that metric
One flake seen and checked, not papered over: durable.sN.query.ops_sec
failed once at 53% below baseline. It is a read-only metric that touches
no WAL code, and a re-run passed 116/0 with the box at load 1.85.

databasev2 4 part A, task 6. Mostly documentation, plus one real fix the
full battery caught.
THE FIX. The drain held EVERY DB reply until the barrier — including
reads, which stage nothing and have no stake in durability. That parked
readers behind an fsync for no reason: durable.sN.mixread.p99 rose from
~1043us to 4057us. Only a statement that actually staged a record now has
its reply held. Caught by the gate, not by review.
THE TRADE, recorded rather than smoothed over. What remains is inherent: a
barrier blocks the owner shard LONGER (more records per fsync) though LESS
OFTEN, so anything queued behind one waits. Three full runs of the same
build gave durable.sN.mixread.p99 of 1043 / 2318 / 4147us and wmix.p99 of
8758 / 20000us — a 2-4x spread with the box near idle. So part A buys ~3x
write throughput at the cost of a longer, noisier tail on the owner shard,
and that is the strongest argument for part B (submit and keep serving).
- durable.sN.*.p99us tolerance widened to 100% WITH the reason in the
code: a 2-4x-variable tail gated at 50% gates the disk, not the engine.
The floor is the real guard and is not slack — mixread's (4172us) came
within 25us of tripping on the worst run. Baseline refreshed; a fresh
full run then passed 106 checks 0 failures
EXIT STATUS MOVED 3 -> 74 (sysexits EX_IOERR). 3 and 4 are already used by
SAMPLES for their own meanings — db-bench's own `verify` exits 3 on a
checksum mismatch, and it is the gate that exercises durability, so a
durability abort exiting 3 would have been indistinguishable from the
mismatch it should help diagnose. The low range belongs to programs.
Docs:
- story: progress, the payoff measured two ways, the cost side, criteria
split met/outstanding, and a "part B — its premise changed" section:
it was justified by "close the 66x gap", but that gap is two problems
and only the concurrent one was a batching problem
- board: standup entry in the six-question shape; both databasev2 4 rows
rewritten. They had said "close the 66x gap" — recorded as MIS-STATED
rather than quietly renumbered
- 00-wob-format.md and 04-db-binding.md: the normative failure contract
("a failed WAL commit traps WO_T_IO after un-applying the row") was
false; corrected, along with the tick-scoped group commit that never
happened
- database/src/CODE-LOGIC.md: where the barrier runs and why there, why
replies are held, why the inline path is asymmetric, the one failure
rule, and how to measure it
- db-bench README: the wmix mode, the env knobs, and the tmpfs warning
Battery: wovm-test 36 suites 0 fail, woc-test, oop-e2e 119/0,
db-bench 106/0, linkcheck clean.

databasev2 4 part A, task 4. Scope extended with developer approval: the
plan authorised touching the sample only for observability, but no
existing leg has enough concurrent durable writes to exercise group
commit at all, so the payoff was unevaluable either way.
The finding that forced it:
- `mix` writes on one op in ten with C=4 (all_mode calls mix_mode(n/10,
4); Mixer writes on i % 10 == 9), so the quick run performs 20 writes
total. Measured mean batch 1.01 over 3112 barriers, peak 3
- that is a property of the WORKLOAD, not the mechanism: peak 3 of a
possible 4 shows batches form whenever writes actually coincide
- `wmix N C` added: every op a durable write, C at once. Updates rather
than inserts, so it is comparable to mixwrite and the row count stays
flat. Histogram kind 2 — a replayed store still holds the seeding run's
kind-0/1 Hist rows and merging those would report someone else's
latencies
- WO_WAL_STATS=1 prints one line at exit: batches, records, peak_batch,
peak_staged. Opt-in, because it would otherwise pollute every durable
program's output. Counters live in wo_wal; no builtin, the numbers are
diagnostic and not part of the language
Measured, and it scales with concurrency exactly as designed:
- C = 4 / 16 / 64 -> mean batch 1.13 / 1.76 / 5.35, peak 3 / 10 / 39
- the gate's own legs: durable.s1 5412 records over 5412 barriers (mean
1.0, peak 1 — the inline path, one barrier per statement BY DESIGN),
durable.sN 7757 over 2296 (mean 3.38, peak 28) at 2x the throughput
- peak staged 1372 B settles the no-cap decision with a number: the batch
is tiny, so the upstream mailbox bound is sufficient
- mean_batch/peak_batch are higher-is-better (the default detector would
have called bigger batches worse)
- only the batch SHAPE metrics are waived to 100%; wmix throughput and
latency keep real tolerances (15% s1, 50% sN) — a blanket waiver would
have left the entire new leg ungated
- the live assertion `mean > 1.0` on the sN leg is what catches inertness
- gate bites: sN wmix ops_sec -60% -> FAIL on exactly that metric, 1 of 86
Verified: db-bench-quick 89 checks 0 failures; baseline refreshed (86
metrics).

Every gate wrote its server output into a per-run mktemp dir that its own
cleanup trap deletes on exit — nothing to follow during the run, nothing
to read after it.
- chat -> /tmp/chat.log, web-app -> /tmp/web-app.log,
site -> /tmp/site.log, log-watcher -> /tmp/log-watcher.log
- truncated once at gate start, appended for the rest of the run, so one
file holds the whole run in order
- each gate PRINTS the path as its first line, with the tail -F command
- legs are banner-separated and name their port and env
(===== leg 2 - port 18902 - env WO_IO=epoll =====)
Appending breaks readiness detection unless it is leg-scoped:
- serve() used to grep the whole file for `listening`, which after the
switch to append would match an EARLIER leg and return before the new
server was up. It now records the line count first and searches only
tail -n "+$LEGFROM"; the ASan scan is scoped the same way
- log-watcher's checks grep per-invocation files, so those are kept and
the output is teed into both — process substitution adds no pipeline
stage, so $! is still the command's pid the gate kills and waits on
- its one SYNCHRONOUS invocation appends after it finishes rather than
teeing: the grep on the next line would race tee's flush
Verified, all green: chat 11/0, web-app 46/0, site 21/0, log-watcher 7/0.

Gate defects, all measured:
- fd check was core-count dependent: `fds_before + 8` read LAZY per-shard
init as a leak. Shards init on first fiber, each taking one io_uring +
one eventfd, capped at nproc; on 20 cores the first wave legitimately
adds 18. Measured 26 -> 44 after 20 clients, still 44 after 40 more.
Replaced with the invariant the check is for: a second wave must not
raise the count. Core-count independent, and catches a slow leak that
any fixed slack would hide
- a failed leg ORPHANED its server: drain inherited $SRV from the soak
leg, so its python died on int("") and the soak server was never
killed — its listener then broke the next run's soak on the same port.
drain now starts its own server; cleanup kills every server a run
started, matched on the run's unique temp dir
- two legs the plan requires were missing: WO_SHARDS=1 (the single-shard
control) and WO_MAILBOX=8 (drop-slow-member backpressure). Both added,
both green. The mailbox leg shrinks the slow client's SO_RCVBUF so it
needs no sleeps
- chat adopted the porch naming (use porch/..., [deps] key) after the
rename landed on master
Decoupling the legs exposed a REAL drain bug, traced and documented in
docs/2026-08-27-chat-drain-finding.md, NOT fixed here:
- on a FRESH server the SIGTERM drain is flaky: 5 of 16 runs left a
client at EOF with no close frame and no diagnostic
- traced: main -> Registry -> Room -> Writer. Registry runs (diag
confirms), the Room NEVER processes its shutdown message, so the
Writer's close branch never runs. Clients that do get a frame are
saved by their own Reader seeing env.stopping()
- ruled out: the spin budget (a 1s wall-clock deadline still failed 2 of
12 — reverted, it fixed nothing and cost 1s per shutdown),
dummy_writer() spawning during shutdown, and write failure
- the fix is an engine guarantee — a send issued before the stop flag is
delivered — which belongs to the actor lifecycle, not a spin count

Closes the last gap in databasev2 1; gives databasev2 3 its "before".
- `boot` mode: does NOTHING. WO_DATA replay runs before main, so a mode
with no work measures replay plus a fixed startup
- `replayseed N M`: N inserts + M updates — same live rows, longer log
- `replay` leg: empty-store startup floor measured and SUBTRACTED, then
two shapes timed, median of 3 boots each
- premise check: updates must actually append WAL records, else the two
shapes are one measurement and the penalty means nothing
- WAL bytes = non-zero prefix, never file size (fallocate'd to 1 MiB)
- per-record cost stored in NANOseconds: as us it rounded 5.5 and 5.3 to
6 and 5, too coarse for the number a checkpoint exists to improve
- 148 checks, 0 failures; gate bites on a doctored ns_per_record
Measured — same 20 000 live rows, different history:
- 20 000 records: 980 035 B WAL, 110 ms replay, 5.5 us/record
- 40 000 records: 1 960 035 B WAL, 211 ms replay, 5.3 us/record
- 1.9x boot cost for an IDENTICAL dataset; per-record cost flat, so
replay is linear in records not rows
- extrapolated: 10M records ~55 s of boot, 100M ~9 min
- databasev2 3 correction: it planned to use "22's aged-store replay
numbers", which never existed — 22 proved restart correctness, never
timed it
- databasev2 3 hazard recorded: compaction rewrites the log and moves
every record, so it invalidates every `resident: keys` offset — an
arbitrary byte in a rewritten file, not stale-but-readable
- databasev2 1 -> status: done

- `randread N R` in the sample: fill N rows, read R across the WHOLE range
- Weyl order `i*2654435761 mod n` — no RNG in the language, none needed;
both legs read the SAME key order so residency is the only variable
- `randread` driver leg: control (256 MiB, does not bind) vs over-cap
(6 MiB + swap), sizes kept modest — quick resolves it in ~5s
- gates the RATIO, not the absolutes: over-cap reads/sec belongs to the
box's swap device, the factor between two runs belongs to the engine
- reads must all resolve (hits == R) or the leg fails; a collapse measured
over unresolved reads is noise
- 133 checks, 0 failures; gate bites on a doctored collapse_x
Measured — this closes the gap the swap leg left:
- resident 1 851 166 reads/sec, p50 0us p99 1us
- over-cap 6 771 reads/sec, p50 128us p99 487us
- 273x throughput, ~480x p99, all 20 000 reads resolving in both
- so the two access patterns sit ~270x apart under identical pressure:
append-mostly insert ~1%, random read 273x
- departure is a STEP not a curve (1us -> 487us, nothing between), which
is why p99_departure_decile finds no knee — there is none
- caveat recorded, NOT inherited: this is demand-paged anonymous memory
through swap (4 KiB/fault, no readahead). `resident: keys` preads via
the page cache — should be better, but databasev2 2 task 7 must measure
its own read path. New criterion added there
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- `Wide` text-heavy reference shape beside Int-only `Item`
- `growth N int|text`: per-decile RSS read from own /proc/self/status
- `growth-verify`: survivor of a crash must be a contiguous intact prefix
- four footprint legs under a rootless cgroup v2 cap, swap on/off
- `ceiling` leg: die at the cap, then replay must come back intact
- footprint read as median-of-marginals; doublings a separate metric
- 121 checks, 0 failures; footprint gated ±10%, kill-timing ±100%
Measured, and it inverted two of the iteration's own predictions:
- footprint 96.5-100 B/row Int vs 320.6-324 B/row text = 3.3x, NOT the
"order of magnitude" three docs asserted
- table storage has NO checked ceiling: SIGKILL signal 9, not a catchable
WO_T_OOM. overcommit lets malloc succeed; kernel kills on page touch
- swap is NOT latency collapse: 900k rows 148s capped-with-swap vs 150s
uncapped. Append-mostly never re-touches cold pages
- ack-after-fsync survives an OOM kill: ~40k rows, no holes, no corruption
- iteration 2's budget dependency is REMOVED not satisfied — there is no
"swap onset" to derive a fraction from
- fix: subprocess returncode -9 was labelled a "checked refusal"; 137 is
the shell spelling of the same signal

Task 4 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-26-table-residency.md — the first
behavioural change in the iteration.
- db.c: one predicate, `table_is_durable`, gating the three EXISTING mutation
sites. Kept as a function rather than an inlined condition so
database/src/CODE-LOGIC.md's "nothing else may mutate storage" claim keeps
holding — the choke points stayed three
- the ack contract is untouched for durable tables: RAM applied, record
staged, one commit before the ack, and a failed commit still removes the row
- replay: a log holding records for a class the image now declares volatile is
a real migration case, not corruption. apply_record returns -2 (distinct
from -1), wo_wal_replay_ex reports the class id, and main.c names it and
exits 2. `wo_wal_replay` stays as the NULL wrapper, so all 156 WAL unit
checks are untouched
- measured, not asserted: 50 inserts wrote 1500 WAL bytes into a durable
table and ZERO into a volatile one. The file's SIZE proves nothing (it is
fallocate'd to 1 MiB up front), so the gate measures the non-zero prefix
BUG I INTRODUCED AND CAUGHT: the mismatch message first printed the class name
with %s, but wo_str.data is `char data[]` with NO NUL terminator (obj.h) — a
buffer over-read. Now %.*s with the explicit length, and re-verified under
ASan.
New gate `just residency` (8 checks), because everything above was otherwise
a one-off manual measurement: restart behaviour, the zero-byte write path, the
mismatch refusal (exit 2, names the class, NOT reported as corruption), and
both compile-time refusals. Its own first run failed two checks for a bug in
the script rather than the feature — `woc | grep` under `set -o pipefail`
returns woc's exit 1 even when grep matches, since woc exits 1 whenever it
reports diagnostics. Captures first now, with the reason noted inline.
Also new: corpus run/table-volatile-inprocess pins that a volatile table is a
FULL table in-process — same @unique enforcement, same index probe, same query
surface. Only survival differs, and that is unobservable from inside one
process.
Gates: woc-test 557/0, 18 runtime suites 0 fail, cli_smoke OK, oop-e2e 119/0
(was 118), residency 8/0, employee 8/0, db-actor 8/0, site 21/0, ASan clean on
the new replay path.

- docs/examples/writeonce-serve -> docs/examples/porch (git mv, history kept);
`[deps]` key and import are now `porch` / `porch/http` / `porch/router`
- name history preserved on the library README, not rewritten into dated
records: writeonce-framework -> writeonce-serve (08-25) -> porch (08-26).
Stories, specs, plans and the audit reports keep the older name by the
repo's own convention; only live docs and every path link were rewritten
- left alone deliberately: `internal/serve.wo`, `pub fn serve`, `serve_conn`,
`app.serve(...)` — those are functions, not the module name
- web-app/wo.toml comment corrected: it claimed hyphens are not identifier
characters and named a key this file never used. lexer.ml's `is_ident_cont`
DOES accept `-` (an internal dash is part of the identifier, which is why
binary minus needs spaces), so a hyphenated key would be legal too
- site now teaches the name: package card, the two-deps chapter and the
handlers-are-classes chapter say `porch`; site-accept asserted the old
/packages/serve route and caught the rename, as a gate should
- gates: web-app 46/0, site 21/0, deps-accept 8/0, oop-e2e 116/0,
linkcheck 0 broken / 0 anchors; porch typechecks entry-less as kind=library

- README: shipped concurrency/HTTP/WebSockets sat in the roadmap as "not yet
available"; "no package manager" contradicted [deps]; the deps example
would not have compiled (the key IS the module name)
- runtime/README: leads with wovm, wo-rt.c demoted to a historical section;
dropped 2 nonexistent recipes, crates/rt, @gc refcounting, 13 suites -> 18
- employee + log-watcher READMEs claimed "does not compile"; both are gates
- error catalog: +10 emitted codes incl WO-E250, the only diagnostic the
shipped query surface raises; recorded why the sweep rotted
- language-surface: group-by parses, then the typechecker refuses it
- 00-code-review + 00-link-audit re-run; history kept, not rewritten
- 48 dead Rust-era exploration links de-linked rather than re-pointed (their
prose names the retired plan by number); successor map -> discarded.md
- 08-project-structure: compiler/plan/ never existed; corpus has 9 dirs, 5 empty
- releasing.md: dropped a --draft step the workflow never had
- new docs/00-doc-audit.md: findings + disposition, incl one row where the
audit was wrong and the doc it accused was right
- status folders removed: 34 stories flat, status only in frontmatter; 252
links recomputed from resolved paths; board/board-views/structure retaught
- story 24 -> in-progress, since frontmatter is now the only truth
- new iteration 38: fs mutation verbs + net.connect, the two capability
families no iteration owned
- new iteration 39: gofiber/fiber v3.5.0 parity study. The ledger called
CSRF/sessions unblocked by iteration 34's HMAC, but the runtime has no
source of randomness at all
- linkcheck skips .dev/.superpowers: 0 broken paths, 0 bad anchors

The published v0.1.0 binaries need less than the page claimed:
woc imports up to GLIBC_2.35, wovm up to GLIBC_2.34. The page said
2.38, which was measured on a dev workstation (glibc 2.39) before CI
existed — and understating support turns working platforms away.
- supported systems: glibc 2.35+, covering Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+,
Fedora 36+
- RHEL 9 (2.34) runs wovm but not woc: build elsewhere, copy the
self-contained binary
- say plainly that the floor is set by the machine that BUILT the
release, which is why CI pins ubuntu-22.04
- site-accept follows the new string
This is the pinned-runner decision paying off: 2.38 -> 2.35.

- 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.

- docs/examples/chat: registry (call consumer) / room / reader+writer
actor pair per connection over ws_accept + wsframe; presence,
broadcast, cross-room isolation, mailbox-full = drop-from-room;
reader tail sends hardened (a full writer no longer orphans the fd)
- RUNTIME SEMANTICS CHANGE (the drain): SIGTERM no longer kills parked
fibers from outside — the plane WAKES them and each wait RESOLVES
(deadline'd waits answer their timeout result, sleeps return early,
plain waits answer WO_SYS_STOPPED and unwind THAT fiber alone; main's
STOPPED still ends the program). Workers keep adopting their inboxes
after stop until eng_shutdown. This is what lets a program drain:
chat's close frames now reach clients (byte-verified 0x88), then
main returns and the reap runs
- also: SIGPIPE ignored process-wide (EPIPE trap instead of death);
two-phase engine teardown (real drops while arenas+routing live,
settle passes for routed frees) — fixes the registry-map leak and
the drain UAF ASan found
- gate scripts/chat-accept.sh + just chat: handshake independently
verified, functional matrix on BOTH backends, 1k-hot-room soak
(1000/1000 in ~35ms), drain close-frames, SIGTERM exit 0, ASan leg
clean. OPEN: soak-fds check (18 fds settle slower than the window)
+ full battery after the semantics change — NOT yet run
- committed for manual testing at the user's request
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

- 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

- 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

- 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

- worker DB builtins marshal to shard 0: requester-side slot encode

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

- 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

- 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.

- spawn placement: round-robin across shards (same-shard when the
engine is absent/single); the actor's mailbox and delivery belong to
its HOME thread — a spawn to another shard travels as an ADOPT
envelope, a send as a SEND envelope (mutex-guarded inbox + eventfd
wake; the spec's lock-free rings stay a disclosed deviation until
9e measures the mutex)
- workers: first envelope triggers lazy full-vm init UNDER the inbox
mutex (TSan caught the memset racing a concurrent push, twice — the
second was inbox_push reading wake_efd outside the lock; both fixed,
gate x8 + battery clean); serve loop = adopt -> run to drained ->
wait on the plane (the wake eventfd is watched by io_uring POLL_ADD
oneshot / epoll level-triggered on BOTH backends)
- ownership across heaps: every allocation stamps rt->shard_id into
the header (the field reserved since iteration 2); a drop on the
wrong shard routes home as a FREE envelope — the owner's arena stays
single-threaded by construction; at teardown routed frees become
no-ops (arenas die wholesale) which is what un-danced the freed-mutex
ASan SEGV the first ordering had
- WO-E222: an actor's state or message type that is (or transitively
contains) an inferred-traced class refuses at the spawn/send — with
round-robin every actor is potentially remote; corpus-pinned
(compile-fail/traced-send, inference-aware: Box contains ?Node)
- determinism narrowed per spec: oop-e2e pins WO_SHARDS=1 (exact
outputs); the fibers gate grows multi-shard SET assertions + a TSan
run (wovm-tsan target; setarch -R fallback for kernel 6.5+ ASLR)
- NEXT_RUNNABLE honors engine shutdown for parked workers (deadlock
hole closed); io_wait's adopt-wake (rc 1) no longer reads as fatal
- battery: oop-e2e 93/0, fibers 10/0 x8 (+WO_IO=epoll), log-watcher

- docs/examples/fibers: part 1 is TIMING-FREE and byte-exact — main
sends three messages then burns reductions; each budget expiry hands
the Counter actor exactly one delivery (cooperative mechanics,
preemptive fairness, BEAM's shape); part 2 parks a Sleeper actor
mid-receive on the I/O plane while main keeps ticking — the wake
lands between ticks, proving a sleeping fiber blocks nobody
- the missing "sleeper: up" on the first run was main-return-reap
working as specced (main ended before the deadline); the demo's
window widened so the wake is observable
- scripts/fibers-accept.sh + `just fibers` (8 checks): build, part-1
exact + part-2 ordering invariants on auto/uring/epoll backends,
and an ASan-runtime rebuild+run
- README points at the doctrine writeup (exploration/fibers)

- http/multipart.wo: RFC 7578 whole-body parsing within BODY_MAX —
boundary from the raw content-type (quoted or bare, key
case-insensitive), parts split on --boundary, each part = headers,
blank line, content; filename + per-part content-type kept (lowercased)
- strict malformed-is-nil: no closing --boundary-- marker, a part
without content-disposition, missing blank line, no boundary param,
wrong media type — all nil, the caller's 400
- part_named(parts, name): first matching field's content, caller-owned
- web-app CreateProduct now accepts multipart/form/JSON (curl -F shape)
into the shared insert path
- probe 13/13 + 3x reuse loop (fields, crlf-in-content, quoted boundary,
file part, zero-part close, five malformed shapes) release + ASan
- gate grows 19 -> 21: multipart create 201, missing closing marker 400
- README: multipart row ✅ (all three body hooks done), limits updated;
story 16 + board record the landing
- gates: web-app 21/0, oop-e2e 89/0, deps-accept 8/0, log-watcher 7/0,
employee 8/0, woc-test green

- media_type(req): content-type lowercased, "; charset=..." stripped,
"" when absent — the content-negotiation hook
- form_values(req): application/x-www-form-urlencoded body -> decoded
pairs through the existing query decoder ('+' as space, %XX); nil on
any other content-type so a JSON body is never misread as a form key
- web-app CreateProduct accepts form OR JSON; shared create_product
insert path; field/number validation answers 400
- probe 7/7 (plus/pct decode, empty value, case + charset param, json
and missing content-type nil, empty body, media_type strip) + ASan
- gate grows 17 -> 19: form create 201 with decoded name, non-numeric
price 400; hit() gains a content-type argument
- README: checklist row form ✅ (multipart stays candidate), limits
paragraph updated; story 16 + board record the landing
- gates: web-app 19/0, oop-e2e 89/0, deps-accept 8/0, log-watcher 7/0,
employee 8/0, woc-test green

- App.get/post/put/delete_(pattern, take h: Handler) — the take-interface
shape probe-proven release + ASan before landing; retires plan-16
deviation 1; delete_ because delete is the query keyword
- dispatch matches path-first: wrong method on a known path answers 405
with Allow in registration order; unknown path stays 404
- HEAD routed as GET, body suppressed, Content-Length names the body a
GET would carry (serialize gains head_only)
- Logging middleware (request line to stderr) ships in router/
- set_header(mut r, name, value) — the builder escape hatch
- web-app registers through the helpers (dogfood); README documents all
- gate grows 14 -> 16: 405+Allow, HEAD-vs-GET content-length equality
- all gates green: web-app 16/0, woc-test 540/0, oop-e2e 89/0,
deps-accept 8/0, log-watcher 7/0, employee 8/0
- board/story: iteration 17 parked (spec+plan ready on library-internal),
16 carries the v1-polish landing, order list updated

scripts/deps-accept.sh: 8 checks over local file:// remotes built at run
time (network-free) — cold fetch + lock + use <dep>/<dep>/sub + app-entry-
wins (the dep's fn main returns 99 and must never run), offline rebuild
with the remote deleted, lock-beats-moved-tag, --update-deps refresh,
cache/lock drift WO-E106, transitive refusal, WO-E107 collision, missing-rev
manifest shape. `just deps-accept` wired. 8/0.

Close the 3 gaps between "builds in the repo" and "installs from a tarball
like Go", so writeonce can ship to other developers.
- VERSION file at repo root single-sources the toolchain version (0.1.0).
- `woc version` -> "writeonce 0.1.0 linux/amd64"; `wovm --version` -> "wovm
0.1.0" (stamped by the Makefile from VERSION; --version handled only in the
plain-wovm path so a built app never shadows its own `version` arg).
- wo.toml `[runtime] wo = ">= X.Y"` is now ENFORCED: woc refuses a project
requiring a newer toolchain than itself (>= and bare version parsed;
unknown operators accepted forward-compatibly). Was parsed-and-ignored.
- woc self-locates wovm: --runtime > [build] runtime > $WO_RUNTIME > a `wovm`
beside the woc binary (Sys.executable_name) > runtime/wovm rel CWD. An
installed woc in <prefix>/bin finds its sibling wovm from any cwd.
- `just dist` (scripts/mkdist.sh) packages writeonce-<ver>-linux-amd64.tar.gz,
Go-shaped (archive root writeonce/, bin/{woc,wovm}, README, VERSION), with a
drift guard asserting VERSION == woc == wovm. dist/ gitignored.
- `just install-accept` (scripts/install-accept.sh) is the gate: extract, PATH,
version, build+run a project from an unrelated cwd, constraint refusal — 6/0.
Verified: install-accept 6/0; woc-test 565/0; wovm suites + cli_smoke;
log-watcher 7/0. Linux-amd64 only (a cross matrix is future work).

- 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
- fixtures trap/db-fk-restrict (code 11) + run/db-fk-restrict-catch;
oop-e2e 79/0, woc-test 566/0, 15 runtime suites, log-watcher 7/0,
employee-accept 8/0
- 9b story + status board updated
