shoney.arickathil c0b0dbb846 docs: audit all markdown against the code, fix findings, flatten status folders
- README: shipped concurrency/HTTP/WebSockets sat in the roadmap as "not yet
  available"; "no package manager" contradicted [deps]; the deps example
  would not have compiled (the key IS the module name)
- runtime/README: leads with wovm, wo-rt.c demoted to a historical section;
  dropped 2 nonexistent recipes, crates/rt, @gc refcounting, 13 suites -> 18
- employee + log-watcher READMEs claimed "does not compile"; both are gates
- error catalog: +10 emitted codes incl WO-E250, the only diagnostic the
  shipped query surface raises; recorded why the sweep rotted
- language-surface: group-by parses, then the typechecker refuses it
- 00-code-review + 00-link-audit re-run; history kept, not rewritten
- 48 dead Rust-era exploration links de-linked rather than re-pointed (their
  prose names the retired plan by number); successor map -> discarded.md
- 08-project-structure: compiler/plan/ never existed; corpus has 9 dirs, 5 empty
- releasing.md: dropped a --draft step the workflow never had
- new docs/00-doc-audit.md: findings + disposition, incl one row where the
  audit was wrong and the doc it accused was right
- status folders removed: 34 stories flat, status only in frontmatter; 252
  links recomputed from resolved paths; board/board-views/structure retaught
- story 24 -> in-progress, since frontmatter is now the only truth
- new iteration 38: fs mutation verbs + net.connect, the two capability
  families no iteration owned
- new iteration 39: gofiber/fiber v3.5.0 parity study. The ledger called
  CSRF/sessions unblocked by iteration 34's HMAC, but the runtime has no
  source of randomness at all
- linkcheck skips .dev/.superpowers: 0 broken paths, 0 bad anchors

Iteration 4 — single binary end-to-end

Format: product/story-iteration-template. Part of Story — one language, one runtime, one database, one binary.

Goals

  • The two halves meet: woc emits .wob images the VM's loader accepts, a conformance corpus pins language behavior from both sides, and woc build produces the story's headline artifact — one self-contained executable.
  • This is the milestone where "a new language with arithmetic and garbage collection" is demonstrably real: source in, running binary out.

Acceptance Criteria

  • What to achieve?
    • Given the pricing demo's logic subset,
    • when woc compiles it on a developer laptop,
    • then compilation finishes in under 100 ms and wovm runs the resulting module with correct output.
  • What to achieve?
    • Given the three-kind conformance corpus (runs with expected stdout; must-fail-compile with expected WO-E###; must-trap with expected trap code),
    • when the harness runs the full suite,
    • then every fixture lands in its expected bucket and ASan/Valgrind report zero errors across the suite.
  • What to achieve?
    • Given woc build on a sample project,
    • when the produced binary is copied to a machine with no OCaml, no compiler, nothing but Linux,
    • then it runs with no arguments and behaves identically.

Out Of Scope

  • Anything beyond the milestone grammar (iteration 5 grows the surface).
  • Hot reload / deployment mechanics (iteration 11 — but the self-exec trailer this iteration ships is its foundation).

Info

  • The loader's validation battery is the executable spec: every image emit produces must round-trip through it — the golden rule both test suites enforce.
  • The corpus becomes the spine every later iteration extends (lang, sys, db, actor fixture kinds already scaffolded under tests/corpus/).

Proposed Solution

  • Execute the existing plan: compiler/plan/2026-08-01-wob-emit-e2e-single-binary.md (emitter with ownership lowering + drop maps + vtables, corpus harness, pricing corpus, ownership/trap corpora, gc pump e2e, woc build trailer, just oop-accept gate over the five spec success criteria).
