`@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.

Wire Gcinfer.infer into runner.ml's owner_str/emit_str so the unit tests
classify GC-ness identically to the driver (prerequisite for removing @gc: its
tests read the golden .wo through the library).
That exposed owner-err/borrow-escape.wo, which tested WO-E304 on *class*
escapes — now legally demand-promoted. Retargeted it to CONTAINER (`multi Text`)
escapes, which are owned and never promoted, so it still exercises the three
WO-E304 shapes (stored-in-field, returned, moved-to-take). Assertion positions
+ golden re-blessed.
Verified: woc-test 566/0, test_diag 14/0, oop-e2e 79/0.

The escape hook promoted the borrow-root local's class, so `return h.box`
over-promoted the container `Holder` alongside `Box`. Now `owner.ml`'s
`transfer` passes the escaping place's type (`place_ty p`) as `~promote_class`,
so only the value that actually escapes is promoted.
- escape: takes ~promote_class; records it in collect mode, else reports WO-E304.
- borrow-escape.wo now promotes only Box (was Box + Holder); rc.wo sans @gc
still promotes Cache.
Verified: woc-test 566/0, test_diag 14/0, oop-e2e 79/0.

Extract the structural+demand classification out of main.ml's typecheck_all
into `Gcinfer.infer : parsed -> symbols -> symbols`, so a single library entry
point runs the whole pass. The driver calls it once (before typecheck); the
unit-test helpers can call the same function, so is_gc_class classifies
identically in the binary and in tests (prerequisite for removing the @gc
keyword, whose tests read the golden fixtures through the library directly).
- dune: gcinfer moved after owner (it now runs ownership in collect mode).
- main.ml typecheck_all: the split structural-inject + post-typecheck demand
loop become one `Gcinfer.infer parsed syms` call.
- Documented the known demand-promotion imprecision (promotes the escaping root
local's class, over-promoting the container) to refine with Phase 3.
Behavior-neutral: woc-test 566/0, test_diag 14/0, oop-e2e 79/0.

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).

GC-ness now comes from the inference pass, not only the annotation. A class is
traced if the structural SCC put it in `syms.traced`, OR (temporary bridge
until demand-promotion lands) it still carries `@gc`.
- Types.symbols gains a `traced : StringSet.t`; is_gc_class reads it (union'd
with the surviving @gc annotation). All symbols literals + both merges carry
the field.
- typecheck_all injects the classification once (Gcinfer.classify -> traced)
into the merged table AND every module table, before typecheck/owner/emit.
- emit.ml routes the class gc-flag and the union/drop decision through
is_gc_class instead of the raw `.is_gc`, so structurally-inferred gc classes
get the runtime flag. Field-kind derivation already routed through is_gc_class.
- gcinfer.traced_names exposes the traced set for injection.
Effect: docs/examples/gc-cycle now COMPILES with no annotation (the WO-E301
use-after-move at the ring-closing store is gone) — traced classes alias
freely. Bytecode is byte-identical to writing `@gc class Node`.
Verified: woc-test 566/0 (goldens unchanged — every current @gc class stays gc
via the annotation branch, and no golden has a structural-gc-non-annotated
class); oop-e2e 79/0 (gc corpus green).
Not in this slice: demand-promotion (the acyclic-aliased PriceCache case still
needs the @gc bridge) and @gc-in-source-as-error (Phase 2b); the ring RUNNING
(the RC runtime doesn't implement nullable-gcref `?Node` fields — Phase 3).
WO-W201 still fires on gc-cycle (retired in Phase 4).

Structural half of the inference pass, additive — it backs `woc --dump-gc`
and does NOT yet feed field-kind derivation (that is Phase 2 at the
Types.is_gc_class seam), so no emitted bytecode or golden changes.
- compiler/src/gcinfer.ml: build the class-reference graph (edges from
Scalar/Multi/Map fields, unwrapping ?; ref and backlink contribute NO edge),
run Tarjan SCC, classify any class in a non-trivial SCC or with a self-loop
as `gc`, else `owned`; carry a cycle-path reason.
- --dump-gc mode in bin/main.ml (mirrors --dump-owner) + usage line + dune.
Verified:
- docs/examples/gc-cycle -> `Node gc (cycle Node -> Node)`, `Segment owned`.
- docs/examples/employee -> Department/Employee both `owned` (ref/backlink
make no edge, so no false cycle) — the load-bearing correctness case.
- just woc-test 566/0 (goldens untouched, build clean both flavors).
Remaining Phase 1: a --dump-gc golden fixture (deferred — verified manually to
avoid golden-harness churn this slice). Phases 2-4 per the plan.

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,

- `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`

- `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)

- DB_SCAN(64): class -> multi<Int> of every row id, materialized up
front (the 9b cursor-stability rule: the loop body point-reads, so a
row updated mid-loop cannot disturb iteration)
- DB_GET_FIELD(65): class,id,field -> the field decoded to a fresh VM
value (the out-gate copy); a table-class value IS its row id at
runtime, so this is how a compiled query reads a column, and a ref
field decodes to the target id for navigation
- DB_PROBE(66): class,index,key -> multi<Int> of ids whose first

old engine value freed; proven by test_table (unique refusal keeps
the row, released key becomes insertable)

- .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

its field values -- no transfer, no E304; node is trap-capable and

- emit: builtin 61 window = class-id const + one slot per DECLARED

- blocking stdlib calls that PARK (net.accept, socket read/write,
time.sleep, a child wait) no longer restart the syscall when the
stop flag is set on an interruption: a server sitting in accept
ignored SIGTERM and only `kill -9` ended it
- a stop is NOT a trap -- builtin.h's WO_SYS_STOPPED carries no error
record and no catch handler sees it (`try` must not swallow
SIGTERM); the VM unwinds the whole stack through the same drop
machinery an uncaught trap uses, so nothing leaks on the way out
- wo_vm_call gained a third outcome (1 = stopped); the CLI maps it to
the status the program's own `return 0` would have given, and a
regular-file read keeps its plain EINTR retry -- it does not park
- an ASSIGNMENT was not an ownership boundary: `api_key =
j.mcp.apiKey` moved the field pointer into the local, so the local
aliased the record and the first unwind freed the same string twice

Text local was ever dropped — that, not the missing stdlib table, was the
leak. Text is now Owned, which forces an answer for what it does at an
ownership boundary, and the answer is uniform: it is COPIED. Into a
container (push/set/`m[i] = v`, already true), into a field (SETF), out of a
function (return), into a binding (`let s = other`), and into a loop cursor.
The source keeps its value; a freshly built Text stays the caller's and is
dropped at the site
- owner.ml: resolve_callee answers for three shapes it never knew — reserved
stdlib members, builtins, and a class's `static` members — so their results
get a type, an owner and a drop
- vm/builtin: WO_B_TEXT_COPY, the one new builtin the rule needs; SETF copies a
TEXT field in; emit copies a Text read out of a container, bound from a
place, returned from a place, or loaded into a cursor, and drops a freshly
built one after a copying store
- sysio.c: fs.read_all/net.read allocated their cap then relabelled the buffer
with the short length — but wo_str_free sizes a block by its len (no size
headers, obj.h), so a 1 MiB buffer wearing a 30-byte length went onto a
32-byte free list and never came back. They copy out at the true size now
- two regressions the corpus caught, fixed in the same pass: a @gc value read
out of a container is a plain borrow, not an rc-counted alias; and push's @gc
escape is keyed on "push is not a user-declared fn" rather than "the callee
did not resolve", which stopped being true once builtins resolved
- docs: Task 1 closed in the executable plan with its before/after numbers, and
the status board's item 1 records the deeper root cause

The unsoundness is closed. All four MCP tools now answer correctly over HTTP
(get_running_crons, list_logs, tail_log -> ["info two","error three"],
search_log -> its match) where `tail_log` used to return
{"isError":true,"text":"tool failed: not a text value"}. corpus 71/0,
woc 565/0, wovm gates green, ASan clean on the container fixtures.
- builtin.c: multi_push, map_set (key AND value) and multi_set COPY a TEXT
element into the container. The container's declared kinds already make it
the owner of what it holds, so storing a caller-owned pointer gave one
string two owners — `push(res, e.log_path)` freed a record's field out from
under it. OWNED/GCREF elements still move (not copyable; the @gc escape
keeps their counting), so `set`'s @gc gap is untouched and still recorded
- emit.ml: `drop_fresh_text` — after push/set and the `m[k] = v` / `m[i] = v`
sugar, a value that was freshly BUILT (call result, `..` chain,
interpolation) is dropped here, while a value read out of a place is left to
its owner. That asymmetry is the point: before the copy the borrowed case
double freed and the fresh case leaked
- obj.c: the runtime's output stream is line-buffered. A long-running program
writing progress with `print` was invisible when stdout was a file or a pipe
(full buffering), and a killed one lost its log entirely; byte-exact
fixtures are unaffected
- scripts/log-watcher-accept.sh + `just log-watcher`: the acceptance test for
the sample — compile, watch (alert), run (schedule), and three MCP checks.
Hardened after it lied to me: a per-run port (a stale server on a fixed port
answered for it), a connect-probe that fails loudly when OUR server did not
come up, replies read by Content-Length rather than to EOF (the sample never
closes), and kill -9 on teardown
- docs: the copy rule is in the builtin surface; the status board records the
gap as closed and adds the new one — a blocking accept/read swallows SIGTERM,
which belongs to the shard-actor runtime's event loop, not to a patch here

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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by running the compiled log-watcher, not by reading code: the supervisor
rejected every cron line ("malformed schedule: * * * * *") because a `*` field
expands to 0 and `?Int`'s nil was also 0, so `a == nil` was true for a real
value. Both log-watcher subcommands now behave: `watch` alerts on a live file,
`run` reports SCHEDULE /var/log/backup.log: * * * * *. corpus 71/0, woc 565/0,
wovm gates green.
- a nullable SCALAR (?Int/?Bool/?Timestamp/?Id) spells nil as WO_NIL_SCALAR
(-2^62), not the zero word. Heap-shaped optionals keep 0 — a null pointer is
unambiguous. The value is -2^62 and NOT INT64_MIN on purpose: the compiler's
integers are OCaml's 63-bit natives, so INT64_MIN is not expressible there
(and `min_int * 2` silently wraps to 0 — the first attempt did exactly that)
- the class table marks such fields (WOB_FIELD_NIL_SCALAR in field_class), so
the runtime writes the right absence where it produces absence itself:
json.decode leaving a key absent or seeing `null`, and parse_int on
unparseable input (so parse_int("0") is now distinguishable from a failure).
json.encode renders a nil scalar as JSON null
- emit.ml: `nil` takes its word from its destination (annotation, field,
return type); a comparison against `nil` emits the literal with the other
operand's type, so ?scalar compares against the sentinel and ?heap against 0
- vm.c: EQS accepts a nil operand — two `?Text` values compare with it, and the
answer is "both absent is equal, one absent is not". Trapping there made
`a != b` on optionals unusable (it was trapping BOUNDS "null text" in the
supervisor's rescan). A non-nil operand must still be a real Text
- docs: both normative docs now state the heap-vs-scalar nil split and the EQS
rule; the stale duplicate vm_unwind comment is gone

- docs/00-status.md: NEXT PLAN is now iteration 5's strictness half (?T forced
handling, pub(read) writes, using, #if) plus an ASan run over the workload;
iterations 6 and 7 marked landed; a "Landed 2026-08-14" section records what
actually shipped, and a new known-gaps block records what did not — lenient
optionals, unenforced pub(read), the borrowed-Text-into-container hazard,
json's Bool/float limits, net fd lifetime, no ASan over the workload, and no
corpus fixtures for the new surface (by direction: the sample is the test)
- runtime/src/CODE-LOGIC.md: file map, the loader-is-the-only-validator and
traps-never-leak invariants, the catch stack, records the VM fills but cannot
name, class metadata + json, program mode, and where to look when it breaks
- compiler/src/CODE-LOGIC.md: the pipeline, why there are two type derivers and
the stay-silent-when-underivable rule, how contextual values get a
destination, the node-id/label contract between owner.ml and emit.ml, the
four kinds of qualified call, predeclared records, the constant-interning
trap, register discipline, and how to verify a change

docs/examples/log-watcher now COMPILES AND RUNS: `wovm lw.wob watch app.log 2 1`
tails a live file, classifies levels and fires its alert
("last entry is error, quiet for 2s"). corpus 71/0, woc 565/0, wovm gates green.
- program mode: the entry is `fn main` taking nothing or one `multi Text`;
runtime/src/main.c builds that list from the program's own arguments (not
the program name, not the image path) and the entry's return value is the
process exit code (low byte); the loader accepts a 0- or 1-arg free-fn entry
- `+` on Text is now WO-E201 pointing at `..`. This was a memory-safety hole,
not a style nit: the emitter lowered it to ADD on two heap pointers, and the
workload's own `out = out + char_of(c)` produced a wild pointer that
segfaulted the VM inside starts_with. Reported off confident types only
- `x == nil` / `x != nil` lower to EQ (a word compare), never EQS: nil is the
zero word and EQS dereferences its operands, so a nil guard would trap
instead of answering
- docs/examples/log-watcher: seven `+`-on-Text sites corrected to `..`
(logtail sanitize, mcp header/body/carry assembly, supervisor detections
line) — the sample was carrying the Haxe habit, and the language reserves
`+` for arithmetic by doctrine
- wovm CLI takes arguments after the image path (`wovm <file.wob> [args...]`)

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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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

log-watcher parse errors 7 -> 3 (only `as` left); corpus 71/0, woc 565/0.
- wob.h/builtin.c/loader.c: WO_B_MULTI_SET — `m[i] = v` for a multi, dropping
the element it replaces (the mirror of map_set, which the format doc's sugar
rule already had; the "no element write" gap is closed)
- ast/parser: `for k, v in m` — the second name binds the value for that key
- types.ml/owner.ml: the two cursors take the map's key and value types; both
are borrows of what the map owns, so neither is dropped per iteration
- emit.ml: map form lowers to len + key_at/val_at over slot indexes (insertion
order, cont.h's parallel arrays), same loop skeleton as the multi form
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
log-watcher diagnostics 272 -> 129 (parse errors 7, stdlib-module calls 49,
lowering gaps 72). corpus 71/0, woc runtest 565/0, wovm unit gates green.
- nil (haxe-parity Task 6's literal half): `nil` keyword, Ast.NilLit, lowered
to the zero word for every `?T` — the representation the format doc already
fixes ("a nullable field stores exactly what T stores and spells nil as 0"),
so no boxing, no unbox on read, and every drop plan already skips it.
Contextual on its destination in both type derivers, like `[]`/`{}`
- 23 new builtins (wob.h ids 16..38, loader arities, builtin.c): len, byte_at,
print_err, starts_with, ends_with, index_of, last_index_of, substr, trim,
to_lower, char_of, parse_int, split, split_ws, join, slice, pop, shift,
sort, reverse, remove, key_at, val_at
- fresh-Text/fresh-multi results allocate in the VM; `split`/`split_ws` fix
their element kind (Text), `slice` copies its source's — and COPIES Text
elements so a slice and its source never both own one value
- pop/shift hand the element's ownership to the caller; remove drops the
map's own key and value; key_at/val_at expose slot-ordered enumeration
(what `for k, v in m` will lower onto)
- parse_int is optional-shaped: unparseable is 0, `?Int`'s own nil
- obj.c/obj.h: wo_str_alloc (uninitialized Text of known length) so `join`
builds its result in one allocation instead of one per element
- types.ml/emit.ml: builtin signatures, argument-shape requirements and
return types for all 23 — the return table is also what classifies a `let`
holding a fresh Text or multi as owned, so an omission there is a leak

VM catch frames + expression-form try/catch in the compiler. Uncaught traps
keep byte-for-byte today's surface. log-watcher parse errors 18 -> 7;
corpus 71/0, woc runtest 565/0, wovm unit gates green (both dispatch flavors).
- wob.h: WOP_TRY (A sBx: push catch frame, handler at pc+sBx) / WOP_ENDTRY;
WO_B_ERR_FILL builtin (fills the catch record: 0 code, 1 line, 2 method,
3 msg — the field-order contract with the compiler)
- vm.h/vm.c: catch stack (depth, handler pc, error reg) + the caught error;
vm_unwind takes a stop depth, so a caught trap kills every frame above the
catching one exactly as an uncaught trap would, then releases only what the
try region owned in the catching frame (drop-entry diff against the handler
pc) and resumes at the handler; RET/RET0 drop the catch frames of the frame
they leave; TRAPF resumes instead of returning when the trap was caught
- builtin.c: err_fill allocates the method/msg Texts into the record the
compiler owns, so the pending error never has to outlive the landing
- loader.c: TRY's handler target validated like a jump, error register like
any register operand; err_fill arity
- lexer/token/ast/parser: `try`/`catch` keywords; `try expr catch (e) expr`
and `catch (e) { block }`, newline allowed before `catch`; try binds looser
than every operator, so `try a / b catch (e) 0` catches the division
- types.ml: predeclared `Error` record (merged table only), catch binding,
arm-type agreement reported only when both arms are confidently typed
- owner.ml: analyze_try — the catch arm is an alternate flow join off the
entry state, the error record is an owned handler-scope local
- emit.ml: TRY/body/ENDTRY/JMP + handler prologue (NEW Error, err_fill),
join drops on both arms, `Error` class entry only for programs that catch

Driving goal: compile docs/examples/log-watcher (1285 lines of .wo).
Diagnostics on that program: 481 -> 379; parse errors 85 -> 18.
tests/corpus via scripts/oop-e2e.sh stays 71 checks / 0 failures.
- ast.ml: `Let.ty` is a full `field_ty` (was a bare name), so `multi Text`,
`map<K, V>` and `?T` annotate a local; new `ListLit`/`MapLit` expressions;
`method_decl.is_static`; `field.pub_read`
- parser.ml: let annotations go through parse_field_ty; `[]`/`[a, b]` and
`{}` literals in expression position; `static const`/`static fn` in class
bodies (one token of lookahead — `static` stays an identifier);
`pub(read) field: T`; a `;` ends a statement on its own, so one-line
guard bodies (`{ skip(...); return; }`) parse
- emit.ml: list/map literals lower to multi_new/map_new + one multi_push per
element, element kinds from the destination's declared type (WO-E403 with
no typed destination, same rule multi_new already had); `static fn` gets a
receiverless method record (arg_cnt = params) and lowers `Cls.fn(args)`
through emit_direct with no `self`; a static can satisfy no interface
- types.ml: a written `let` annotation is now the authority for the binding's
type (the only thing that types `[]`/`{}`/`nil`); `static_method_of` +
static-call return types; method_info.is_static is wired from the AST
- owner.ml: container literals are fresh owned values, elements read in place
(inherits push()'s open borrowed-element gap, noted in the code)
- plan doc: `Spec:` header line so planboard's lint accepts the plan
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Modules: `use`/`pub`, directory-as-module, per-module symbol resolution (a
flat first-wins merge silently ran the wrong `pub fn` body), six reserved
stdlib namespaces typed UNKNOWN-BUT-RESERVED.
- Surface: `and`/`or` (own precedence tier, short-circuit, Bool-only), `${}`
interpolation desugared at parse time, `const`, break/continue with
drop-correct exits, do-while, inline-fn rejection.
- switch expr/stmt: required `default` over scalars/Text, arm unification,
EQ/EQS+JZ lowering, per-arm drop scopes with N-way JOIN-DROP; `default`
sorted last by a shared lowering order (textual order made arms dead).
- typedef records: structural, same shape = one class entry; `?name: T`
nullable-by-shape; emit_ctor fills omitted defaults; `type` as field name.
- Enum variants: all-bare unions = int ordinals; any-payload = one class
entry per variant, tag IS the header class_id (no header field, no format
bump); exhaustive switch without `default`; arity checked both directions.
- Payload escape modeled as move-out (pointer-kind fields only — a scalar
escape is a copy); caller reaps owned heap temps passed by borrow: two
unbounded LSan-blind leaks, 10.5 MB -> 1.5 MB flat over 300k iterations.
- Fixed en route, each with a RED repro: dead E209 builtin-arg check and
`int_to_text` missing from both types.ml builtin tables (both segfaulted
wovm), multi-file phantom double-report, emit_ctor's field temp clobbering
dst in tail position (pre-existing), warnings swallowed without an error.
- Two fenced VM builtins: `int_to_text` (13), `variant_tag` (14).
- 14+565 unit (was 14+401), corpus 71 (was 32) plain and under wovm_asan,
wovm-test + cli_smoke green. Log-watcher 307 -> 93 diagnostics (85 E101 /
4 E207 / 1 E208 / 3 W202); the 5 non-E101 residuals await Task 7 grammar.
- `woc` now emits `.wob` that `wovm` runs: emit.ml lowers the typed,
owner-annotated AST (scope-stack registers with a >64 WO-E401 diagnostic,
Lua-style call windows, ICALL by slot, dedup const pool, drop maps, line
tables, implicit terminators); disasm.ml backs `--dump-bc` goldens.
- Ownership lowering consumes the four owner tables verbatim; RESIDUAL is the
only source of borrow ops, coalesced per operand. Review caught the emitter
consuming only 2 of owner.ml's 4 residual producers — an assignment-anchored
aliasing violation ran to exit 0 instead of trapping; fixed, plus a backstop
raising WO-E404 for any residual region left unconsumed.
- Conformance harness `scripts/oop-e2e.sh` (`just oop-e2e`): four fixture
kinds with exact outcomes — byte-exact stdout, one WO-E### anchored on
`error CODE:`, numeric trap code, gc trace. 25 fixtures incl. pricing-demo
logic, the ownership suite, and DB_STUB's parse-but-trap. `tests/` un-ignored
so the corpus is actually tracked.
- `woc build` produces a self-contained binary: wovm copy + appended image +
20-byte trailer, self-exec via /proc/self/exe. Verified relocated outside
the repo, argless, and against adversarial trailer corruption.
- Milestone 1's five spec criteria all MET (`just oop-accept`). Criterion 3
closed by WO-E405 — the entry must return `Int`, since program mode already
says its return value is the exit code — which deletes the leak class
without adding return-type metadata to the format. `gc/held-cycle` retired:
an externally-held cycle is not expressible in a post-exit pump.
- New spec: inferred GC + incremental per-shard tri-color mark-sweep, retiring
`@gc` and reference counting. Story gains iterations 7b (that work) and 9b
(`@table`, relations, compiler-checked query); `.dev/reference` gains a
sparse System.Linq checkout. Priority: 5→6→7 (log-watcher) then 7b, 8, 9, 9b.
- Board renamed docs/plan/00-kanban.md -> docs/00-status.md and rebuilt: ▶ NEXT
PLAN pointer (iteration 4 — emitter, corpus, `woc build`) then six buckets —
stories, in progress, done, pending, discarded, learnings. It covered only the
Rust runtime before, so the whole OOP track was invisible. All 16 inbound refs
repointed; `Kanban:` banners renamed to `Status:`.
- New discarded.md (settled rejections with reasons: inheritance, `abstract`,
Money/SKU/Float, Dynamic/cast/macro/extern, AOT-to-C, Menhir, shared engine
state) and learnings.md (plumbed≠enforced, vacuous goldens, exit-0-wrong-
output, malloc-path ASan trick, deferred checks that never reach the VM).
- RECOVERED docs/plan/exploration/blue-green-vm/00-vision.md — gone from disk,
never committed (gitignored path), cited by five docs incl. principle 12.
Root cause was broader: all seven forward-roadmap plans in
docs/superpowers/plans/ were untracked and ignored, on one disk only. Dropped
the docs ignore rules with a do-not-re-add note; added __pycache__/*.pyc.
- Repaired broken links across docs/, 270 -> 36: fixes a regression from the
earlier reference/ -> .dev/reference/ move (relative paths at ../../ and
deeper were skipped), plus depth and reorg drift. The 36 residual point at
content that does not exist and need decisions, not paths.
- New spec docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-10-logwatcher-gap-closure-design.md,
applied: `and`/`or` verdict row; Part 3 gains `env` (six modules), swaps
time.mono for iso/local, adds 22 bare core builtins; throw/time.mono/is cut
(0 uses in the sample). Plan 8: Task 2 gains and/or, Task 5 drops throw,
abstract+`is` task deleted, 8/9 renumber to 7/8. Plan 9 gains core builtins.
Plan 10 gains the 307 -> 0 diagnostic gate. WO-E205 re-filed unreachable-by-
design. types.ml header drops its false satisfaction-set claim. 00-code-
review.md reduced to a stub — its rival Phase 1-4 roadmap retired.
Completes plan 2 Tasks 7-8. owner.ml: mutable-value-semantics flow analysis
producing the four plan-3 emitter tables (moves, drops incl. LIVE-MASK for trap
unwinding, rc with elision, residual borrow sites) plus WO-E301-304 two-site
diagnostics. Alias questions run over canonicalized places, so a double-mut
reached through let-bound aliases lands in the residual table like the direct
form; dump.ml's contract notes the emitter must coalesce guards per operand.
main.ml: directory discovery, cross-file programs (symbols merge before bodies
check), diagnostics ordered by (file,line,col), new WO-E214 for a name declared
in two files. New docs/plan/oop-vm/01-error-catalog.md (14 emitted + 10 reserved
codes), un-ignored so both plan tracks can cite it; justfile regains woc-*.
builtin_scalars is now the five that work: Int, Bool, Text, Timestamp, Id.
Money/SKU/Float and the abstract_types allowlist are gone — `abstract` never
lexed, and Float had no literal syntax and no wob kind, so no value could exist.
Fixtures and samples retype Money->Int, SKU->Text. The abstract newtype feature
is rejected outright (verdict row adopt->reject); haxe-parity Task 7 keeps `is`.
nullable-types-implementation.md corrected: ?T is plumbed but UNENFORCED
(E211-213 declared, never emitted; probe exits 0), handed to haxe-parity Task 6
as next work item. Records all 10 dead codes incl. E205 — interface satisfaction
is unchecked. crates/rt keeps its Money/SKU fixtures (opaque strings, Stage 2).
Gate: build warning-clean, 14 + 264 checks 0 failures, pricing golden exit 0,
docs/examples histograms unchanged (13/70, zero WO-E225).
- 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
