# Iteration 1 — the principles doc
|
|
|
|
> Format: `product/story-iteration-template`. Part of
|
|
> [Story — one language, one runtime, one database, one binary](00-story.md).
|
|
|
|
## Goals
|
|
|
|
- The repo gains `docs/00-principles.md`: one page stating the thirteen
|
|
writeonce principles — the doctrine every later iteration links back to
|
|
instead of re-arguing.
|
|
- The thirteen: one binary is the whole system; zero dependencies (kernel
|
|
primitives only); memory safety without a GC tax (MVS ownership, opt-in
|
|
`@gc`, per-shard collection); no inheritance ever; thread-per-core shards
|
|
with ownership moves; the runtime never stops (blue-green slots, embedded
|
|
source); RAM authoritative + WAL durable; samples force the grammar;
|
|
Linux is the target; capabilities are typed builtins (no FFI); plain
|
|
diagnostics are the product; the runtime is a recipe box; statically
|
|
typed all the way to the register (no `Dynamic`, untagged VM slots,
|
|
annotations as the compile-time ORM).
|
|
|
|
## Acceptance Criteria
|
|
|
|
- What to achieve?
|
|
- **Given** a new contributor opening `docs/`,
|
|
- **when** they read `docs/00-principles.md`,
|
|
- **then** each principle is a short statement plus a one-line why plus
|
|
a link to the spec or doc that enforces it, and no principle
|
|
contradicts a locked spec decision.
|
|
- What to achieve?
|
|
- **Given** CLAUDE.md's "Where to read next" list,
|
|
- **when** the iteration lands,
|
|
- **then** it contains one pointer line to the principles doc and
|
|
nothing else about it changed.
|
|
|
|
## Out Of Scope
|
|
|
|
- Rewriting or relocating existing doctrine text in specs/plans — the doc
|
|
links, it does not duplicate.
|
|
- Any `.wo` example content (iterations 2+ own code-adjacent artifacts).
|
|
|
|
## Info
|
|
|
|
- `docs/` numbering starts at `01-problem.md`; the `00-` slot is free and
|
|
reads as "start here".
|
|
- Spec governing this slice: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-07-logwatcher-sample-and-principles-design.md` §3.
|
|
|
|
## Proposed Solution
|
|
|
|
- Author the page with the thirteen principles in the order listed in the
|
|
governing spec (the thirteenth — static typing — added 2026-08-08 by
|
|
story amendment); verify every link resolves; add the CLAUDE.md pointer
|
|
line; record the commit draft in `.dev/commit.md`.
