 - [x] Clause DB: `"functor/arity" → list-of-clauses`, loader inserts — `pl-mk-db` / `pl-db-add!` / `pl-db-load!` / `pl-db-lookup` / `pl-db-lookup-goal`, 14 tests in `tests/clausedb.sx`
 - [x] Solver: DFS with choice points backed by delimited continuations (`lib/callcc.sx`). On goal entry, capture; per matching clause, unify head + recurse body; on failure, undo trail, try next — first cut: trail-based undo + CPS k (no shift/reset yet, per briefing gotcha). Built-ins so far: `true/0`, `fail/0`, `=/2`, `,/2`. Refactor to delimited conts later.
 - [x] Cut (`!`): cut barrier at current choice-point frame; collapse all up to barrier — two-cut-box scheme: each `pl-solve-user!` creates a fresh inner-cut-box (set by `!` in this predicate's body) AND snapshots the outer-cut-box state on entry. After body fails, abandon clause alternatives if (a) inner was set or (b) outer transitioned false→true during this call. Lets post-cut goals backtrack normally while blocking pre-cut alternatives. 6 cut tests cover bare cut, clause-commit, choice-commit, cut+fail, post-cut backtracking, nested-cut isolation.

+- 2026-04-25 — `->/2` if-then-else landed (both `;(->(C,T), E)` and standalone `->(C, T)` ≡ `(C -> T ; fail)`). `pl-solve-or!` now special-cases `->` in left arg → `pl-solve-if-then-else!`. Cond runs in a fresh local cut-box (ISO opacity for cut inside cond). Then-branch can backtrack, else-branch can backtrack, but cond commits to first solution. 9 new tests covering both forms, both branches, binding visibility, cond-commit, then-backtrack, else-backtrack. Total 130 (+9).
 - 2026-04-25 — Built-ins `\=/2`, `;/2`, `call/1` landed. `pl-solve-not-eq!` (try unify, always undo, succeed iff unify failed). `pl-solve-or!` (try left, on failure check cut and only try right if not cut). `call/1` opens a fresh inner cut-box (ISO opacity: cut inside `call(G)` commits G, not caller). 11 new tests in `tests/solve.sx` cover atoms+vars for `\=`, both branches + count for `;`, and `call/1` against atoms / compounds / bound goal vars. Total 121 (+11). Box not yet ticked — `->/2`, `write/1`, `nl/0` still pending.
 - 2026-04-25 — Cut (`!/0`) landed. `pl-cut?` predicate; solver functions all take a `cut-box`; `pl-solve-user!` creates a fresh inner-cut-box and snapshots `outer-was-cut`; `pl-try-clauses!` abandons alternatives when inner.cut OR (outer.cut transitioned false→true during this call). 6 new cut tests in `tests/solve.sx` covering bare cut, clause-commit, choice-commit, cut+fail blocks alt clauses, post-cut goal backtracks freely, inner cut isolation. Total 110 (+6).
 - 2026-04-25 — Phase 3 DFS solver landed (CPS, trail-based backtracking; delimited conts deferred). `pl-solve!` + `pl-solve-eq!` + `pl-solve-user!` + `pl-try-clauses!` + `pl-solve-once!` + `pl-solve-count!` in runtime.sx. Built-ins: `true/0`, `fail/0`, `=/2`, `,/2`. New `tests/solve.sx` 18/18 green covers atomic goals, =, conjunction, fact lookup, multi-solution count, recursive ancestor rule, trail-undo verification. Bug fix: `pl-instantiate` had no `("clause" h b)` case → vars in rule head/body were never instantiated, so rule resolution silently failed against runtime-var goals. Added clause case to recurse with shared var-env. Total 104 (+18).
