- 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.

# 03 — Client runtime
|
||
|
||
**Context sources:** [`./00-overview.md`](./00-overview.md) §§ "`.htmlx` with live subscriptions — target format" (L127–166) and decisions 1–2, [`./01-htmlx-format-spec.md`](./01-htmlx-format-spec.md) (the manifest schema this runtime consumes), [`reference/crates/wo-sub/src/lib.rs`](../../../../.dev/reference/crates/wo-sub/src/lib.rs) (the v1 frame model the wire format mirrors), [`docs/examples/ecommerce/shared/components/order-row.htmlx`](../../../examples/ecommerce/shared/components/order-row.htmlx) (the live workload the runtime must update without reload).
|
||
|
||
## Goal
|
||
|
||
Ship a ~500-line vanilla-JS client at `crates/ui/assets/wo-runtime.js` that, on page load, reads the `<script data-wo-manifest>` JSON, opens one WebSocket back to the originating app, subscribes to every declared `LiveSubscription`, and patches DOM in place on `Insert`/`Update`/`Delete` frames — without a framework, without a build step, served as a static asset at `/_wo/runtime.js`.
|
||
|
||
## Design decisions (locked)
|
||
|
||
1. **Vanilla JS, no transpiler.** The file shipped is the file written. Anchored in [`./00-overview.md`](./00-overview.md) L25, L198–199.
|
||
2. **JSON over WebSocket.** Frame schema mirrors `reference/crates/wo-sub` semantics evolved into this phase's predicate-subscription model. `{ subscription_id, kind: "snapshot"|"insert"|"update"|"delete", key, row|fields }`.
|
||
3. **Targeted DOM patching, not virtual-DOM.** `update` ⇒ `document.querySelectorAll('[data-wo-subscription="<id>"] [data-key="<k>"] [wo\\:bind="<f>"]')` ⇒ `el.textContent = row[f]`. Matches the Zone-less Angular note in 00-overview decision 9.
|
||
4. **Reconnect = full snapshot resync.** On reconnect the runtime re-subscribes and replaces each `<wo:live>` body with the fresh snapshot. No diff, no replay buffer.
|
||
5. **Backpressure = drop all but latest update per `data-key`.** A coalescing queue keyed by `(subscription_id, key)` collapses queued `update` frames; the latest wins. New frames of other kinds (`insert`/`delete`) flush the queue.
|
||
6. **Asset baked into binary, served at `/_wo/runtime.js`.** `crates/ui/src/runtime/asset.rs` does `pub const RUNTIME_JS: &[u8] = include_bytes!("../../assets/wo-runtime.js");`. Phase 05 mounts the route in the per-app binary.
|
||
|
||
## Scope
|
||
|
||
### New files
|
||
|
||
| File | Responsibility | Port source |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| `crates/ui/assets/wo-runtime.js` | The runtime — reads manifest, opens WS, dispatches frames, patches DOM | new (~500 LOC JS) |
|
||
| `crates/ui/src/runtime/mod.rs` | Re-exports `RUNTIME_JS`, `runtime_etag()`, `Frame` | new (~20 LOC) |
|
||
| `crates/ui/src/runtime/asset.rs` | `include_bytes!` of the JS + sha256 ETag | new (~30 LOC) |
|
||
| `crates/ui/src/runtime/frame.rs` | Wire-frame `enum Frame` mirroring the JS schema | new (~120 LOC) |
|
||
|
||
Total: ~170 LOC Rust + ~500 LOC JS.
|
||
|
||
### `Cargo.toml` change
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[dependencies]
|
||
serde = { version = "1", features = ["derive"] }
|
||
serde_json = "1"
|
||
sha2 = "0.10" # ETag for the runtime asset
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`serde` / `serde_json` were already pulled in by phase 01. `sha2` is new for the asset ETag.
|
||
|
||
### Wire frame schema (mirrored in JS and Rust)
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{ "kind": "snapshot", "subscription_id": "orders-live-0", "rows": [ {…}, … ] }
|
||
{ "kind": "insert", "subscription_id": "orders-live-0", "key": "42", "row": {…} }
|
||
{ "kind": "update", "subscription_id": "orders-live-0", "key": "42", "fields": { "status": "Paid" } }
|
||
{ "kind": "delete", "subscription_id": "orders-live-0", "key": "42" }
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## API shape (target)
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
use ui::runtime::{RUNTIME_JS, runtime_etag, Frame};
|
||
|
||
// Phase-05 router mounts:
|
||
router.route(Method::GET, "/_wo/runtime.js", |_req| {
|
||
Response::ok()
|
||
.header("Content-Type", "application/javascript")
|
||
.header("ETag", runtime_etag())
|
||
.body(RUNTIME_JS.to_vec())
|
||
});
|
||
|
||
// Phase-06 wire-protocol handler emits frames:
|
||
let frame = Frame::Update { subscription_id: id.into(), key: k.into(), fields: patch };
|
||
ws.send_text(serde_json::to_string(&frame)?)?;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Exit criteria
|
||
|
||
1. `cargo build -p ui` green; `wc -c crates/ui/assets/wo-runtime.js` ≤ 25 600 bytes (25 KB cap, slack on the 20 KB target).
|
||
2. **Frame round-trip test.** A Rust unit test serialises one of each `Frame` variant; a Node-driven test (`node --test`) parses the same JSON, asserts shape.
|
||
3. **DOM-patch test (jsdom).** `node crates/ui/runtime-tests/run.mjs` loads a stub HTML containing one `<wo:live>` block and a manifest, fakes a WebSocket emitting `snapshot` → `insert` → `update` → `delete` frames, and asserts each patch hits the right element.
|
||
4. **Reconnect test.** Killing the fake WS triggers exponential backoff; on resume the runtime re-issues subscriptions and replaces the body with the new snapshot.
|
||
5. **Asset served.** Once phase 05 lands, `curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/_wo/runtime.js` returns the file with a stable `ETag` matching `sha256(RUNTIME_JS)`.
|
||
6. `cd reference/crates && cargo build && cargo test`.
|
||
|
||
## Non-scope
|
||
|
||
- **No browser test matrix.** jsdom is the only target; Playwright/headless-Chrome are deferred.
|
||
- **No optimistic UI.** Action buttons (`data-action="…"`) POST and wait — no client-side state mutation before the server confirms.
|
||
- **No client-side routing.** Page navigation is full-page reload.
|
||
- **No framework integration.** No React/Vue/Solid bindings.
|
||
- **No gzip / Brotli.** The JS ships uncompressed; HTTP-level compression is a phase-08-style concern.
|
||
- **No `<noscript>` fallback.** Pages with `<wo:live>` without JS show the SSR snapshot frozen.
|
||
|
||
## Verification
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
cargo build -p ui
|
||
cargo test -p ui --test wire_frames
|
||
|
||
# JS unit test (jsdom) — repo will need node ≥ 20
|
||
node crates/ui/runtime-tests/run.mjs
|
||
|
||
# Size budget
|
||
wc -c crates/ui/assets/wo-runtime.js
|
||
test "$(wc -c < crates/ui/assets/wo-runtime.js)" -le 25600
|
||
|
||
# v1 regression
|
||
cargo run --bin wo -- run docs/examples/blog &
|
||
PID=$!; sleep 1; curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:8080/ >/dev/null; kill $PID
|
||
|
||
cd reference/crates && cargo build && cargo test
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## After this phase
|
||
|
||
Phases 01 + 02 + 03 together cover the prototype demo path: a `##ui` block compiles to `.htmlx`, the SSR pass renders it with a manifest, the runtime opens a WebSocket and patches the DOM on commit. Phase 05 (`05-per-app-binaries.md`) bakes `RUNTIME_JS` into each app binary; phase 06 (`06-shared-db-daemon.md`) is the WebSocket origin that emits the frames defined here.
