+### Phase 7 — end-to-end pipeline + closing the gaps
+
+Phase 1-6 built parser and runtime as parallel layers — they don't yet meet.
+Phase 7 wires them together so APL source actually runs through the full stack,
+and tightens loose ends.
+
+- [ ] **Operators in `apl-eval-ast`** — handle `:derived-fn` (e.g. `+/`, `f¨`),
+  `:outer` (`∘.f`), `:derived-fn2` (`f.g`).  Each derived-fn-node wraps an inner
+  function; eval-ast resolves the inner glyph to a runtime fn and dispatches
+  to the matching operator helper (`apl-reduce`, `apl-each`, `apl-outer`,
+  `apl-inner`, `apl-commute`, `apl-compose`, `apl-power`, `apl-rank`).
+- [ ] **End-to-end pipeline** — entry point `apl-run : string → array` that
+  chains `apl-tokenize` → `parse-apl` → `apl-eval-ast` against an empty env.
+  Verify with one-liners (`+/⍳5` → 15, `1 2 3 + 4 5 6` → 7 9 11, etc.) and
+  with the actual `.apl` source files in `tests/programs/`.
+- [ ] **`:quad-name` AST + handler** — extend tokenizer/parser to recognise
+  `⎕name`, then handle in `apl-eval-ast` by dispatching to `apl-quad-*`
+  runtime fns (`⎕IO`, `⎕ML`, `⎕FR`, `⎕TS`, `⎕FMT`, `⎕←`).
+- [ ] **Bracket indexing verification** — load programs that use `A[I]` /
+  `A[I;J]` end-to-end; confirm parser desugars to `⌷` and runtime returns
+  expected slices.  Add 5+ tests.
+- [ ] **Idiom corpus expansion** — extend `idioms.sx` from 34 to 60+ once
+  end-to-end works (we can express idioms as APL strings, not as runtime
+  calls).  Source-string-based idioms validate the whole stack.
+- [ ] **`:Trap` / `:EndTrap`** — minimal exception machinery: `:Trap n`
+  catches errors with code `n`, body runs in `apl-tradfn-eval-block`,
+  on error switches to the trap branch.  Define `apl-throw` and a small
+  set of error codes; use `try`/`catch` from the host.
