Root cause (decision 1): cross-shard send/call/monitor pointer-shared the
message into the receiver's shard (e->payload = msg_val), so a worker read and
eventually dropped an object living in the sender's arena — a double free, then
a class-0 forge, then a modulo self-route livelock, all downstream of that one
broken invariant ("VM heaps are never read cross-shard", which wo_db_rpc keeps).
- actor_marshal: the sender encodes the message into an arena-independent neutral
form (wo_db_val_encode, the same marshal wo_db_rpc uses) and drops its own
original — no pointer crosses an arena boundary, so the double-free class is
gone by construction. actor_unmarshal rebuilds it in the receiver's arena
(wo_val_decode_vm) and frees the neutral. Applied to the 4 cross-shard
producers (send x2, call, monitor) + the 3 consumers (kinds 0/5/7). Same-shard
paths untouched (the WO_SHARDS=1 fast path never failed). Call replies are
scalars by contract, so kind 6 needs no marshal.
- eng_settle_inboxes: undrained kind-0/5/7 payloads at teardown are the neutral
form now — free with wo_db_val_free, not wo_drop_obj (caught by ASan mid-fix).
- decision 2: wo_route_free traps a shard_id >= nshards header (a corrupt/freed
block) instead of self-routing it into the settle livelock.
- proof: tests/regress/lang-41/cross-shard-marshal.wo (a multi<Text> sent +
called cross-shard, both sides drop) — clean 12x/5x under WO_SHARDS=4 + ASan;
shard-settle repro still clean 8x; full runtime suite 0 fail (same-shard
byte-unchanged). `just db-actor` extended with the new fixture.
- unblocks porch 9. Follow-ups: poison-on-free (decision 3), corpus fixture (4).

- root cause: a worker's runtime is initialised lazily on first fiber
adoption, and rt.shard_id is stamped only there — but INBOX_READY[i]
is set at thread creation. A shard that never adopts is still settled
at shutdown, carrying rt.shard_id 0 from the memset
- it then impersonated shard 0: wo_drop_obj saw 0 == 0 for anything the
primary allocated, took the "we are home" branch instead of routing,
and called class_free against rt->classes, which lazy init never
filled. &rt->classes[class_id] off a NULL base is the faulting read
- fix: stamp the runtime's real identity at thread creation. An
uninitialised shard owns nothing, so its true id makes every payload
correctly foreign and routes it to an owner that can free it
- ASan could not name this: the arena is one hand-managed malloc block,
so intra-arena reuse is invisible and it surfaces as a bare SEGV
- pinned by tests/regress/lang-41, driven from db-actor-accept. Needs
multiple shards (the corpus runner pins WO_SHARDS=1) and the ASan
build. SEGVs twice per run unfixed, clean fixed
- the HANG is a separate defect and is NOT fixed: with this in place the
harness stops losing whole sections, but idempotent-stop-2 still
fires ~1 run in 6. The story records where to look

(cherry picked from commit 4c82461634d45f11eca1a252702031c03d999c7f)
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.

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.

Task 2 of docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-26-table-residency.md.
- the check lives in `check_field_types`, which already runs over the raw AST
(so the diagnostic lands at the field's own position, once per declaration)
in Pass 2 with `syms` fully built
- only the durable -> volatile direction is refused. volatile -> durable is
legal: the referencing row is the one that disappears, so nothing is left
holding a stale id
- the message names both classes and both escapes, because "this is wrong" is
less useful than "make Session durable, or declare Order volatile too"
- sees through a `?` wrapper, so `?ref S` is caught too
- code picked as 24 by sweeping `<stage>_prefix ^ "NN"` — 01-23, 25, 26 and
50 were taken, so 24 was a genuine hole. Grepping the literal WO-E224
would have found nothing, which is how ten codes once went missing
- catalogued in the same commit, and the completeness sweep re-run: 53
emitted, 54 catalogued (the extra is retired WO-W201), none missing
PLAN CORRECTION: the plan's second step said to apply the same check to
`backlink` fields. Dropped — a backlink is "NOT a stored column" (ast.ml:72),
so after a restart it resolves to an EMPTY COLLECTION, which is a legal state
indistinguishable from "nothing references me". There is no id to dangle.
Implementing it would have refused correct programs; a spurious diagnostic is
worse than a missing one. A run fixture now pins that the backlink shape stays
legal, so the check cannot silently grow over-broad later.
Gates: woc-test 557/0, oop-e2e 118/0 (was 116 — one compile-fail and one run
fixture added), employee 8/0, db-actor 8/0; employee, db-bench, db-actor,
porch, log-watcher and gc-cycle all still typecheck.

- 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

Gates: oop-accept MET, site 21/0, web-app 46/0, fibers 10/0,

- 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

- monitor(watched, observer, msg): registration lives on the watched
actor's home thread (kind-7 envelope cross-shard); actor_die walks
the list; already-dead fires NOW; the notice msg moves; a full
observer's notice drops with a stderr line (no fiber to trap)
- time.after(ms, addr, msg): per-shard timer list riding the deadline
machinery (uring tick min + epoll timeout both include timers;
fired from the same sweep); ms <= 0 delivers now; NO cancel — the
generation-counter idiom is pinned by run/timer-generation
- runtime_notify: one runtime-sourced delivery path (notices, timers) —
reserve-or-drop, cross-shard via kind-0 envelopes
- compiler: monitor typed as a bespoke free fn (notice typed against
the OBSERVER's mailbox — the three-argument deviation, disclosed);
time.after as a stdlib row whose msg arg is EXEMPT from the module-
call fresh-arg drop (it moves — the double-own bug the timer fixture
caught); owner move slots for both

- runtime: mailbox slots grow caller metadata (wo_msg), call parks on
WO_PARK_INBOX (the DB-RPC protocol) and the resume consumes a SCALAR
reply; FIBER_DONE ships the receive's return value home (same-shard
unpark or kind-6 envelope); kind-5 carries cross-shard calls
- actor death is real now: a receive trapping uncaught marks the actor
dead, error-unparks the in-flight caller AND every queued caller,
drops queued payloads + state, releases cap slots; send-to-dead
drops silently, call-to-dead traps — a call never hangs. Fixes the
pre-existing leak/dangle in TRAPF's fiber-death path (cur_msg leaked,
a->active dangled, the mailbox rotted)
- compiler: reply typing through actor-M erasure — every receive(M)
program-wide must agree on one return type and it must be a copyable
scalar (v1); WO-E226 names disagreeing classes / void receives /
non-scalar replies; call's message moves exactly like send's (owner)
- corpus: run/call-echo (park + ordered replies), run/call-dead-trap
(mid-call + to-dead, both catchable), compile-fail/call-void-receive,
compile-fail/call-reply-disagree; cross-shard call proof rides the
chat gate next

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

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
results; pinned by corpus run/catch-msg-place

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)

latency floors max(4x,100us); quick mode skips poll-bound mix

- 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).

- 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)

- 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

- emit_return's place test matched only bare Ident/Field/Index, so
`return "${p.content}"` (p a loop borrow) returned the part's own

arena corruption surfacing two requests later (multipart slice)
- the return test now sees through Interp exactly as copy_place_text

Ident/Field/Index behavior at return unchanged

- release-build crash; invisible to ASan (in-arena free, no redzones)

The disclosed "move-on-push" gap detonated on iteration 16's route-table
pattern: `push(self.routes, r)` moved the Route into the container while the
`take r` parameter's scope-end DROP still fired — the container's own drop
plan (multi_free) then freed the element a second time. ASan: SEGV in
class_free during trap unwind; latent until now because pushed elements were
Texts, which copy at the boundary (2026-08-14).
owner.ml analyze_call: `push`'s value slot and `set`'s key/value slots now
TRANSFER an Owned, non-copy-stored place (record_move, exactly the take-arg
shape), so the pusher's drop disappears. Text/json.Value keep the copy-store
path (stores_by_copy) and the caller still drops the fresh copy. Traced (gc)
values remain exempt (tracing owns them). A user-declared push/set fn of the
same name wins, per the builtin shadowing rule.
Pinned by tests/corpus/run/container-owned-move (route table: interface-

- field_class gains WOB_FIELD_BOOL (a plain `Bool` field) and
WOB_FIELD_NIL_BOOL (a `?Bool`: WO_NIL_SCALAR nil + bool encoding) — the
kind byte alone cannot tell a Bool slot from an Int slot, so the metadata
carries it. Emitter writes them (field_class_meta); loader whitelists
them; json.c encodes `true`/`false` (and `null` for a ?Bool nil), decode's
null/omitted-key pre-write covers NIL_BOOL.
- A JSON number with a fraction or exponent is MALFORMED for an Int field:
the checked decode (`json.decode(t) as T`) yields nil for the whole
document instead of silently truncating 3.7 to 3 — the language has no
float, and corrupting data quietly was the one thing a "checked decode"
must never do. Floats stay representable through a raw `json.Value` field.
- corpus: run/json-bool-fidelity pins the round-trip (true/false both ways,
?Bool null both ways, fraction AND exponent rejected).
- Board's two known-gap entries struck; format doc's field_class marker list
extended.
Verified: oop-e2e 87/0; runtime test + test-iso OK; woc-test 540/0;
log-watcher 7/0; employee 8/0.

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

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

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

`@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.

Structural inference (2a) covers cyclic classes; this adds the DEMAND half for
the acyclic-but-aliased case, so @gc is now redundant everywhere.
- owner.ml: a `promote` sink on ctx. In collect mode, a class value that would
raise WO-E304 (escape) records its class instead of erroring — because a
class that MUST escape cannot be owned (second-class borrows can't be stored
or returned), so it must be traced. `class_of_ty` extracts the class from the
escaping local's type. analyze/analyze_fn take ?promote.
- main.ml typecheck_all: after structural injection, a fixpoint runs ownership
in collect mode over every file, unioning promotions into syms.traced (and
every module table), before owner/emit see it. Terminates (promotions only
grow, bounded by class count).
- gcinfer.render_final: --dump-gc now reads the authoritative is_gc_class
(structural + demand + the remaining @gc bridge), with the reason.
Effect: a class that escapes is inferred `gc` with no annotation — e.g. `Cache`
(rc.wo sans @gc) shows `gc (alias escape (demand))`; `Box` returned out of
`leak` is promoted and the program is valid. No false positives: employee's
Department/Employee stay owned; the 566 goldens + 14 test_diag unchanged.
Corpus: compile-fail/borrow-escape-return reclassified to run/ (prints 1) —
returning a borrowed class is now legal under demand promotion; the fixture
encoded pre-7b behavior.
Verified: woc-test 566/0 + test_diag 14/0; oop-e2e 79/0; employee 8/0;
log-watcher 7/0.
NOT in this slice: removing the `@gc` KEYWORD (parser rejection + rewriting the
RC/@gc golden + test_diag assertions + moving the inference injection into the
library so unit tests see it) — coupled to Phase 3, which deletes the RC
machinery those tests cover. The ring still needs Phase 3 to RUN (nullable
`?Node` gcref path).

- 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,

- `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

- `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

- .wob v3: class records carry an index tail (flags bit0 = unique,
col_cnt, columns) -- @table(index:[a,b]) entries plus one unique
single-column entry per @unique field; loader validates columns in
range and scalar/Text-kinded; emitter validates the declarations
(unknown column, un-indexable kind => diagnostic)
- engine: db_index hash multimap per table, built from the class
table at first touch, maintained ONLY inside wo_row_insert/
wo_row_remove; unique checks re-compare actual column values (a
hash is a hint); replay re-indexes via wo_row_raw_commit AFTER
slots are filled, so recovered tables carry their indexes
- WO_T_UNIQUE = 10; a violating insert is un-applied whole (bitmap,
hash, count, and the never-observable id reclaimed) and traps
catchably -- the employee SEED-DUP pattern
- wo_row_insert gains err_kind so db.c maps UNIQUE/OOM/other to the
right trap; test images and the runner's loader mirror speak v3
- fixtures: trap/db-unique-violation (code 10 exact) and
run/db-unique-catch (catchable dup, composite index accepts
duplicates, next id dense after a refusal)

- 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

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

log-watcher diagnostics 129 -> 55 (json is what is left: 13 encode sites,
3 `as` parses and their cascade). corpus 71/0, woc 565/0, wovm gates green.
- runtime/src/sysio.c (new): 17 builtins behind the reserved module names —
fs.exists/list/stat/read_all/read_at/append, time.sleep/local/iso,
env.get/stopping, net.listen/accept/read/write/close, proc.run. Thin
blocking libc calls; a failed syscall traps the new WO_T_IO with errno's
own message, which `try ... catch` is how a program handles
- record-returning members (fs.stat, time.local, proc.run) take their
result record's CLASS ID as the last argument, so the VM allocates what
it fills without knowing any source type name (the err_fill pattern)
- absence is the zero word: a missing path from fs.stat and an unset
env.get are nil, not traps
- env.stopping installs SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers on first use only
- types.ml: predeclared Stat/TimeParts/Proc records (field order is the
contract with sysio.c) + the stdlib member table (arity, builtin id,
return type, result record) + stdlib return types in confident_typ
- emit.ml: stdlib member calls lower to their builtin with the record class
id appended; WO-E406 now means "no such member", not "not linked";
predeclared records enter the class table only when a program needs them
- emit.ml: fstate carries the method's declared return type, so a tail
`return []` / `return {}` gets its element kinds; a non-empty list literal
falls back to its own element type when there is no declared destination
- types.ml: confident_typ chases a container read (`c[i]`), which is what
makes a switch over a value pulled out of a map resolve; a void `try` arm
no longer demands its catch arm agree
- corpus: lang-use-stdlib-not-linked now pins WO-E406 for an unknown MEMBER
(fs.slurp) — the "not linked" premise is gone now that fs is linked
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.
- `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.
