+- **2026-05-06** — Phase 6 `getLine`/`getContents`/`readFile`/`writeFile`. `hk-force`
+  extended: 0-arity builtins (`arity=0` dicts) are called immediately when forced,
+  making `getLine`/`getContents` work naturally as IO actions (no arity-0 application
+  needed — `>>=` forces them and gets the `("IO" value)` result). `getLine` pops
+  from `hk-stdin-lines`; `getContents` drains it joining with `"\n"`; `readFile`
+  reads from `hk-vfs` (dict), errors on missing key; `writeFile` sets `hk-vfs` key.
+  `hk-run-io-with-input` resets both io-lines and stdin then runs. `>>=` and `>>`
+  added to `hk-binop` for infix operator path. Bug caught: `sx_replace_node` on the
