- 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.

- 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 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.

`@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.

- `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>
- `order by <field> [desc]` on whole-row queries: a selection sort over
the result multi, re-reading the key per element via the range var
(DB_GET_FIELD); O(n^2), KISS, no cost planner — the result sets are
small by design
- Text order keys use a new WO_B_STR_LT builtin (content compare, reusing
the WO_B_SORT elem_cmp); scalar keys use the LT opcode. The bug this
fixes: op_lt on two Text pointers compares ADDRESSES
- `take N`: clamp to count, slice [0,N). `take` is the KwTake keyword,
not an Ident — matched as the token
- two bugs found + fixed while testing: multi-line query clauses (skip
the separating newlines) and the key-kind read (must bind the range
var BEFORE ty_of_expr of the order key, or a Text key silently uses
op_lt); Index typechecks to the container's element type (`ds[0]`)
- fixture run/db-query-order; oop-e2e 75/0, woc-test 566/0, 15 runtime
suites, log-watcher 7/0
- employee `seed`/`list`/`staff` modes now compile and run; report
(group-by+projection), raise (update), drop (delete) remain

- `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

- 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,

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

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 diagnostics 55 -> 48 (all json-rooted now). corpus 71/0, woc 565/0.
- emit.ml: a field default may now be `nil`, `{}` (a fresh empty container of
the field's declared type) or `Rec {}` (a record built from its own field
defaults) — the workload's `st: TailState = TailState {}` and
`scheduled: map<Text, CronWatch> = {}` shapes
- parser.ml/main.ml: a top-level `const` is visible to every file of its
module, not just its own file — files in a directory are one module by the
discovery contract, and the workload reads logtail.wo's `const CHUNK` from
mcp.wo. A file's own const still wins on a name collision

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

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.
- 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
