The spec's §8 migration table, applied:
- 00-principles.md P3: "@gc is a per-class opt-in, reference-counted" ->
GC-ness is inferred; incremental per-shard mark-sweep in budgeted slices;
still no global pause by construction.
- OOP spec: decision-table GC row -> inferred (hybrid rule named); §3 rule 5
-> traced classes alias freely, which classes is inferred; §4 memory model
-> the RC + Bacon-Rajan paragraph replaced by tracing (snapshot roots,
Yuasa barrier, born-black, budgeted slices); header rc comment -> union'd
sweep link; mixing rule restated for tracing.
- 00-wob-format.md: header says version 4; opcodes 27-28 -> reserved (loader
rejects); the owned-temporary rule's @gc exclusion restated for tracing.
- 08-builtin-surface.md: the push RC_INC special case and the set(m,k,v)
retention gap DELETED — neither exists without RC; the corpus cycle is
collected by tracing.
- story 07b: status -> LANDED 2026-08-18 (with the historical note kept);
board: 7b row ✅ (supersedes iteration 2's RC memory model), pending row
removed.
- gc-cycle README: Phase 3 flipped to landed (the ring runs, is reclaimed,
ASan-clean; the ?Node RC_DEC-on-nil trap no longer exists); the barrier
prose corrected to the as-built design (snapshot-at-beginning + deletion
barrier + born-black, not per-slice root re-reads).
- plan 2026-08-18: all checkboxes ticked + a completion banner recording the
four deviations from the plan as written.
(Error catalog was already amended with the keyword-removal commit: WO-E104
added, WO-W201 retired.)
