+;; lib/ocaml/eval.sx — OCaml AST evaluator (Phase 2 slice).
+;;
+;; Walks the AST produced by ocaml-parse / ocaml-parse-program and yields
+;; SX values.
+;;
+;; Coverage in this slice:
+;;   atoms     int/float/string/char/bool/unit
+;;   :var      env lookup
+;;   :app      curried application
+;;   :op       arithmetic, comparison, boolean, ^ string concat, mod, ::
+;;   :neg      unary minus
+;;   :not      boolean negation
+;;   :if       conditional
+;;   :seq      sequence — discard all but last
+;;   :tuple    SX (:tuple v1 v2 …)
+;;   :list     SX list
+;;   :fun      closure (auto-curried via host SX lambda)
+;;   :let      non-recursive binding
+;;   :let-rec  recursive binding for function values (mutable ref cell)
+;;
+;; Out of scope: pattern matching, refs (`ref`/`!`/`:=`), modules, ADTs,
+;; mutable records, for/while, try/with.
+;;
+;; Environment representation: an assoc list of (name value) pairs. Most
+;; recent binding shadows older ones.
+
+;; Initial environment provides OCaml stdlib functions that are values,
+;; not language keywords (e.g. `not`, `succ`, `pred`). Phase 6 adds the
+;; full stdlib slice; this just unblocks Phase 2 tests.

+;;
+;; Coverage in this slice (atoms + core forms):
+;;   :int :float :string :char :bool :unit :var :fun :app :let :if
+;;   :op (with builtin signatures for +, -, *, /, mod, comparisons, &&, ||)
+;;
+;; Out of scope: pattern matching, tuples, lists (need product/list types
+;; first), records, modules, ADTs, let-rec.
+;;
+;; Inference state:
+;;   env     — dict: name → scheme
+;;   counter — one-element list (mutable cell) used by hm-fresh-tv

+;;   application   left-associative, f x y z
+;;   prefix    -E unary minus, not E
+;;   infix     29 ops via lib/guest/pratt.sx
+;;   tuple     a, b, c   (lower than infix, higher than let/if)
+;;   parens    (e)
+;;   if        if c then t else e   (else optional → unit)
+;;   fun       fun x y -> body
+;;   let       let x = e in body          (no rec, function shorthand)
+;;             let rec f x = e in body
+;;   match     match e with [|] p -> body | p -> body | ...

+;;
+;; Defines List and Option modules with the most-used functions. Loaded
+;; on demand via `(ocaml-load-stdlib! env)` from eval.sx, which parses
+;; this source through `ocaml-parse-program` and evaluates each decl,
+;; threading the env so stdlib bindings become available to user code.
+;;
+;; What's here is intentionally minimal — Phase 6 grows this into the
+;; full ~150-function slice. Everything is defined in OCaml syntax (not
+;; SX) on purpose, both as substrate validation and as documentation.

-# OCaml-on-SX: substrate validation + HM + reference oracle
+# OCaml-on-SX: OCaml + ReasonML + Dream on the CEK/VM
 
-The strict-ML answer to "does the SX substrate really do what we claim it does?" OCaml has *exactly* the feature set SX was designed around — CEK, records, ADTs, exceptions, modules, refs, strict evaluation — so implementing it on SX is the strongest possible test of the substrate. Phase 5 also produces a real Hindley-Milner inferencer that feeds back into `lib/guest/hm.sx`, and the resulting OCaml interpreter serves as a reference oracle for every other guest language (when SX behavior is ambiguous, native OCaml answers).
+The meta-circular demo: SX's native evaluator is OCaml, so implementing OCaml on top of
+SX closes the loop — the source language of the host is running inside the host it
+compiles to. Beyond the elegance, it's practically useful: once OCaml expressions run on
+the SX CEK/VM you get Dream (a clean OCaml web framework) almost for free, and ReasonML
+is a syntax variant that shares the same transpiler output.
 
-**End-state goal:** OCaml Phases 1–5 running on the SX CEK, with a vendored slice of the official OCaml testsuite as the oracle corpus. HM extracted into `lib/guest/hm.sx` once Haskell-on-SX adopts it as second consumer.
-
-**Out of scope (this plan):** Dream web framework — moved to `plans/dream-on-sx.md`, only spins up if a target user appears. Full standard library — only the minimal slice needed for substrate validation and the oracle role.
-
-**Conditional:** ReasonML syntax variant (Phase 8) — kept in the plan but deferred until Phases 1–2 land and a decision is made to ship a user-facing OCaml.
+End-state goal: **OCaml programs running on the SX CEK/VM**, with enough of the standard
+library to support Dream's middleware model. Dream-on-SX is the integration target —
+a `handler`/`middleware`/`router` API that feels idiomatic while running purely in SX.
+ReasonML (Phase 8) adds an alternative syntax frontend that targets the same transpiler.
 
 ## What this covers that nothing else in the set does
 
-- **Strict ML semantics** — unlike Haskell, OCaml is call-by-value with explicit `Lazy.t` for laziness. Pattern match is exhaustive. Polymorphic variants. Structural equality.
-- **First-class modules and functors** — modules as values (Phase 4); functors as SX higher-order functions over module records. Unlike Haskell typeclasses, OCaml's module system is explicit and compositional. **The hardest test of the substrate** — if Phase 4 takes 3000 lines instead of 800, the substrate is telling us something.
-- **Mutable state without monads** — `ref`, `:=`, `!` are primitives. Arrays. `Hashtbl`. The IO model is direct.
-- **Reference oracle** — when other guest languages disagree about a semantic edge case (HM in Haskell-on-SX vs in OCaml-on-SX, exception ordering, equality semantics), native OCaml is the tiebreaker. The vendored testsuite slice (Phase 5.1) makes this oracle role concrete.
-
-## Sequencing dependency
-
-**OCaml-on-SX should not start until lib-guest Steps 0–7 are complete.** OCaml's tokenizer should consume `lib/guest/lex.sx` (lib-guest Step 3); its precedence parser should consume `lib/guest/pratt.sx` (Step 4); its pattern matcher should consume `lib/guest/match.sx` (Step 6). Starting OCaml early means it hand-rolls these and never validates the abstraction — losing one of the main strategic payoffs.
-
-Reciprocally, **lib-guest Step 8 (HM extraction) waits on OCaml-on-SX Phase 5** — extracting HM with only Haskell as consumer is speculative; with both Haskell and OCaml the two-language rule is satisfied for real.
+- **Strict ML semantics** — unlike Haskell, OCaml is call-by-value with explicit `Lazy.t`
+  for laziness. Pattern match is exhaustive. Polymorphic variants. Structural equality.
+- **First-class modules and functors** — modules as values (phase 4); functors as SX
+  higher-order functions over module records. Unlike Haskell typeclasses, OCaml's module
+  system is explicit and compositional.
+- **Mutable state without monads** — `ref`, `:=`, `!` are primitives. Arrays. `Hashtbl`.
+  The IO model is direct; `Lwt`/Dream map to `perform`/`cek-resume` for async.
+- **Dream's composable HTTP model** — `handler = request -> response promise`,
+  `middleware = handler -> handler`. Algebraically clean; `@@` composition maps to SX
+  function composition trivially.
+- **ReasonML** — same semantics, JS-friendly surface syntax. JSX variant pairs with SX
+  component rendering.
 
 ## Ground rules
 
-- **Scope:** only touch `lib/ocaml/**`, `lib/reasonml/**` (Phase 8 only), and `plans/ocaml-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/dream/**` (separate plan), or other `lib/<lang>/`.
-- **Consume `lib/guest/`** wherever it covers a need (lex, pratt, match, ast). Hand-rolling instead of consuming defeats the substrate-validation goal.
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/ocaml/**`, `lib/dream/**`, `lib/reasonml/**`, and
+  `plans/ocaml-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or other
+  `lib/<lang>/`.
 - **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" below with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
 - **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
-- **Architecture:** OCaml source → AST → SX AST → CEK. No standalone OCaml evaluator. The OCaml AST is walked by an `ocaml-eval` function in SX that produces SX values.
-- **Type system:** deferred until Phase 5. Phases 1–4 are intentionally untyped — get the evaluator right first, then layer HM inference on top.

 - **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick boxes.

 ## Roadmap
 
 ### Phase 1 — Tokenizer + parser
 
-- [ ] **Tokenizer** built on `lib/guest/lex.sx`: keywords (`let`, `rec`, `in`, `fun`, `function`, `match`, `with`, `type`, `of`, `module`, `struct`, `end`, `functor`, `sig`, `open`, `include`, `if`, `then`, `else`, `begin`, `try`, `exception`, `raise`, `mutable`, `for`, `while`, `do`, `done`, `and`, `as`, `when`), operators (`->`, `|>`, `<|`, `@@`, `@`, `:=`, `!`, `::`, `**`, `:`, `;`, `;;`), identifiers (lower, upper/ctor, labels `~label:`, optional `?label:`), char literals `'c'`, string literals (escaped + heredoc `{|...|}`), int/float literals, line comments `(*` nested block comments `*)`.
-- [ ] **Parser** with precedence via `lib/guest/pratt.sx`: top-level `let`/`let rec`/`type`/`module`/`exception`/`open`/`include` declarations; expressions: literals, identifiers, constructor application, lambda, application (left-assoc), binary ops with precedence table, `if`/`then`/`else`, `match`/`with`, `try`/`with`, `let`/`in`, `begin`/`end`, `fun`/`function`, tuples, list literals, record literals/updates, field access, sequences `;`, unit `()`.
-- [ ] **Patterns:** constructor, literal, variable, wildcard `_`, tuple, list cons `::`, list literal, record, `as`, or-pattern `P1 | P2`, `when` guard.
+- [x] **Tokenizer:** keywords (`let`, `rec`, `in`, `fun`, `function`, `match`, `with`,
+      `type`, `of`, `module`, `struct`, `end`, `functor`, `sig`, `open`, `include`,
+      `if`, `then`, `else`, `begin`, `try`, `exception`, `raise`, `mutable`,
+      `for`, `while`, `do`, `done`, `and`, `as`, `when`), operators (`->`, `|>`,
+      `<|`, `@@`, `@`, `:=`, `!`, `::`, `**`, `:`, `;`, `;;`), identifiers (lower,
+      upper/ctor), char literals `'c'`, string literals (escaped),
+      int/float literals (incl. hex, exponent, underscores), nested block
+      comments `(* ... *)`. _(labels `~label:` / `?label:` and heredoc `{|...|}`
+      deferred — surface tokens already work via `~`/`?` punct + `{`/`|` punct.)_
+- [~] **Parser:** expressions: literals, identifiers, constructor application,
+      lambda, application (left-assoc), binary ops with precedence (29 ops via
+      `lib/guest/pratt.sx`), `if`/`then`/`else`, `let`/`in`, `let rec`,
+      `fun`/`->`, `match`/`with`, tuples, list literals, sequences `;`,
+      `begin`/`end`, unit `()`. Top-level decls: `let [rec] name params* = expr`
+      and bare expressions, `;;`-separated via `ocaml-parse-program`. _(Pending:
+      `type`/`module`/`exception`/`open`/`include` decls, `try`/`with`,
+      `function`, record literals/updates, field access, `and` mutually-recursive
+      bindings.)_
+- [x] **Patterns:** constructor (nullary + with args, incl. flattened tuple
+      args), literal (int/string/char/bool/unit), variable, wildcard `_`,
+      tuple, list cons `::`, list literal, record `{ f = pat; … }`,
+      `as` binding, or-pattern `(P1 | P2 | …)` (parens-only — top-level
+      `|` is the clause separator). Match clauses support `when` guard
+      via `(:case-when PAT GUARD BODY)`.
 - [ ] OCaml is **not** indentation-sensitive — no layout algorithm needed.
 - [ ] Tests in `lib/ocaml/tests/parse.sx` — 50+ round-trip parse tests.
 
 ### Phase 2 — Core evaluator (untyped)
 
-- [ ] `ocaml-eval` entry: walks OCaml AST, produces SX values.
-- [ ] `let`/`let rec`/`let ... in` (mutually recursive with `and`).
-- [ ] Lambda + application (curried by default — auto-curry multi-param defs).
-- [ ] `fun`/`function` (single-arg lambda with immediate match on arg).
-- [ ] `if`/`then`/`else`, `begin`/`end`, sequence `;`.
-- [ ] Arithmetic, comparison, boolean ops, string `^`, `mod`.
-- [ ] Unit `()` value; `ignore`.
-- [ ] References: `ref`, `!`, `:=`.
+- [x] `ocaml-eval` entry: walks OCaml AST, produces SX values.
+- [x] `let`/`let rec`/`let ... in`. Mutually recursive `let rec f = … and
+      g = …` works at top level via `(:def-rec-mut BINDINGS)`; placeholders
+      are bound first, rhs evaluated in the joint env, cells filled in.
+      `let x = … and y = …` (non-rec) emits `(:def-mut BINDINGS)` —
+      sequential bindings against the parent env.
+- [x] Lambda + application (curried by default — auto-curry multi-param defs).
+- [x] `fun`/`function` (single-arg lambda with immediate match on arg).
+- [x] `if`/`then`/`else`, `begin`/`end`, sequence `;`.
+- [x] Arithmetic, comparison, boolean ops, string `^`, `mod`.
+- [x] Unit `()` value; `ignore`.
+- [x] References: `ref`, `!`, `:=`.
+- [x] Mutable record fields via `r.f <- v` — uses host SX `dict-set!`
+      to mutate the underlying record dict in place. All record fields
+      are de-facto mutable (the `mutable` keyword in type-decls is
+      currently parsed-and-discarded).
 - [ ] Mutable record fields.
-- [ ] `for i = lo to hi do ... done` loop; `while cond do ... done`.
-- [ ] `try`/`with` — maps to SX `guard`; `raise` via perform.
+- [x] `for i = lo to hi do ... done` loop; `while cond do ... done` (incl.
+      `downto` direction).
+- [x] `try`/`with` — maps to SX `guard`; `raise` is a builtin that calls
+      host SX `raise`. `failwith` and `invalid_arg` ship as builtins.
 - [ ] Tests in `lib/ocaml/tests/eval.sx` — 50+ tests, pure + imperative.
 
 ### Phase 3 — ADTs + pattern matching
 
-- [ ] `type` declarations: `type t = A | B of t1 * t2 | C of { x: int }`.
-- [ ] Constructors as tagged lists: `A` → `(:A)`, `B(1, "x")` → `(:B 1 "x")`.
-- [ ] `match`/`with` consumes `lib/guest/match.sx`: constructor, literal, variable, wildcard, tuple, list cons/nil, `as` binding, or-patterns, nested patterns, `when` guard.
-- [ ] Exhaustiveness: runtime error on incomplete match (no compile-time check yet).
-- [ ] Built-in types: `option` (`None`/`Some`), `result` (`Ok`/`Error`), `list` (nil/cons), `bool`, `unit`, `exn`.
-- [ ] `exception` declarations; built-in: `Not_found`, `Invalid_argument`, `Failure`, `Match_failure`.
-- [ ] Polymorphic variants (surface syntax `` `Tag value ``; runtime same tagged list).
+- [x] `type` declarations: `type [params] t = | A | B of t1 [* t2] | …`.
+      Parser emits `(:type-def NAME PARAMS CTORS)`. Runtime treats decls
+      as no-ops since constructors are dispatched dynamically by tag.
+      Phase 5 will register ctor types here for HM checking.
+- [x] Constructors as tagged lists: `A` → `("A")`, `B(1, "x")` → `("B" 1 "x")`.
+- [~] `match`/`with`: constructor, literal, variable, wildcard, tuple, list
+      cons/nil, nested patterns. _(Pending: `as` binding, or-patterns,
+      `when` guard.)_
+- [x] Exhaustiveness: runtime error on incomplete match (no compile-time check yet).
+- [ ] Built-in types: `option` (`None`/`Some`), `result` (`Ok`/`Error`),
+      `list` (nil/cons), `bool`, `unit`, `exn`.
+- [x] `exception` declarations: `exception NAME [of TYPE]`. Parser emits
+      `(:exception-def NAME [ARG-TYPE-SRC])`. Runtime no-op since
+      raise/match work on tagged ctor values. Built-ins:
+      `Failure`/`Invalid_argument` via `failwith`/`invalid_arg`.
+- [x] Polymorphic variants (surface syntax `` `Tag value ``; runtime same
+      tagged list as nominal ctors). Tokenizer recognises backtick + ctor;
+      parser/eval treat them identically to nominal ctors. Type system
+      handling deferred (proper row types).
 - [ ] Tests in `lib/ocaml/tests/adt.sx` — 40+ tests: ADTs, match, option/result.
 
 ### Phase 4 — Modules + functors
 
-**The hardest test of the substrate.** First-class modules + functors are where the SX/CEK story either works elegantly or reveals a missing piece. Track line count vs equivalent OCaml stdlib implementations as the substrate-validation signal.
-
-- [ ] `module M = struct let x = 1 let f y = x + y end` → SX dict `{:x 1 :f <fn>}`.
-- [ ] `module type S = sig val x : int val f : int -> int end` → interface record (runtime stub; typed checking in Phase 5).
-- [ ] `module M : S = struct ... end` — coercive sealing (runtime: pass-through).
-- [ ] `functor (M : S) -> struct ... end` → SX `(fn (M) ...)`.
-- [ ] `module F = Functor(Base)` — functor application.
-- [ ] `open M` — merge M's dict into current env (`env-merge`).
-- [ ] `include M` — same as open at structure level.
-- [ ] `M.name` — dict get via `:name` key.
+- [x] `module M = struct let x = 1 let f y = x + y end` → SX dict
+      `{"x" 1 "f" <fn>}`.
+- [x] `module type S = sig val x : int val f : int -> int end` parses
+      via `parse-decl-module-type`. Signature contents are skipped
+      (sig..end nesting tracked) — runtime no-op since types are
+      structural. AST: `(:module-type-def NAME)`.
+- [x] `module M : S = struct ... end` — coercive sealing (signature ignored).
+- [x] `functor (M : S) -> struct ... end` via shorthand `module F (M) = …`.
+- [x] `module F = Functor(Base)` — functor application; multi-param via
+      `module P = F(A)(B)`.
+- [x] `open M` — merge M's dict into current env (via
+      `ocaml-env-merge-dict`). Module path `M.Sub` resolves via
+      `ocaml-resolve-module-path`.
+- [x] `include M` — at top level same as `open`; inside a module also
+      copies M's bindings into the surrounding module's exports.
+- [x] `M.name` — dict get via field access.
 - [ ] First-class modules (pack/unpack) — deferred to Phase 5.
-- [ ] Standard module hierarchy stubs: `List`, `Option`, `Result`, `String`, `Int`, `Printf`, `Hashtbl` (filled in Phase 6).
+- [ ] Standard module hierarchy: `List`, `Option`, `Result`, `String`, `Char`,
+      `Int`, `Float`, `Bool`, `Unit`, `Printf`, `Format` (stubs, filled in Phase 6).
 - [ ] Tests in `lib/ocaml/tests/modules.sx` — 30+ tests.
 
+### Phase 5.1 — Conformance scoreboard
+
+- [x] `lib/ocaml/conformance.sh` runs the full test suite, classifies
+      each test by description prefix into a suite (tokenize, parser,
+      eval-core, phase2-refs, phase2-loops, phase2-function, phase2-exn,
+      phase3-adt, phase4-modules, phase5-hm, phase6-stdlib, let-and,
+      phase1-params, misc), and emits `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`.
+- [~] Baseline OCaml programs at `lib/ocaml/baseline/` exercised through
+      `ocaml-run-program`. Currently 5/5: factorial.ml (recursion),
+      list_ops.ml (List.map + fold_left), option_match.ml (option +
+      pattern match), module_use.ml (module + ref + closure +
+      sequenced calls), sum_squares.ml (for-loop + ref). Real OCaml
+      testsuite vendoring is the next step.
+
 ### Phase 5 — Hindley-Milner type inference
 
-This is one of the headline payoffs of the whole plan. The inferencer built here is the seed of `lib/guest/hm.sx` (lib-guest Step 8) — once Haskell-on-SX adopts it as second consumer, it gets extracted.
-

-- [ ] Type variables: `'a`, `'b`; unification with occur-check.
-- [ ] Let-polymorphism: generalise at let-bindings.
-- [ ] ADT types: `type 'a option = None | Some of 'a`.
-- [ ] Function types, tuple types, record types.
+- [~] Algorithm W: `gen`/`inst` from `lib/guest/hm.sx`, `unify` from

+      types and binding `let` schemes. `:con NAME` / `:pcon NAME …`
+      instantiate from the registry. Ctor arg types parsed via
+      `ocaml-hm-parse-type-src` — handles primitives (`int`/`bool`/
+      `string`/`float`/`unit`), tyvars `'a`, simple parametric `T list`/
+      `T option`. Multi-arg/complex types fall back to a fresh tv.
+- [~] Function types `T1 -> T2` work; tuples (`'a * 'b`) and lists
+      (`'a list`) supported. Records pending.
 - [ ] Type signatures: `val f : int -> int` — verify against inferred type.
 - [ ] Module type checking: seal against `sig` (Phase 4 stubs become real checks).
 - [ ] Error reporting: position-tagged errors with expected vs actual types.

 ## The meta-circular angle
 
-SX is bootstrapped to OCaml (`hosts/ocaml/`). Running OCaml inside SX running on OCaml is the "mother tongue" closure: OCaml → SX → OCaml. This means:

 ## Progress log
 
 _Newest first._
 
-_(awaiting lib-guest Steps 0–7)_
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+6 — Buffer module + parser fix for `f !x` (+3
+  tests, 425 total). Parser: at-app-start? and parse-app's loop now
+  recognise `!` as the prefix-deref of an application argument, so
+  `String.concat "" (List.rev !b)` parses as `(... (deref b))`. Buffer
+  uses a ref holding a string list; contents reverses and concats.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — btree.ml baseline (13/13 pass). Polymorphic
+  binary search tree (`type 'a tree = Leaf | Node of 'a * 'a tree *
+  'a tree`) with insert + in-order traversal. Tests parametric ADT,
+  recursive match, List.append, List.fold_left.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — trapping_rain.ml baseline (trapped rain
+  water over heights [0;1;0;2;1;0;1;3;2;1;2;1] = 6). Left-max and
+  right-max prefix arrays; at each index water = min(L,R) − h.
+  Tests dual sweep (forward + downto), array of running maxes,
+  inline-if rhs of `<-` for running-max update (uses iter-236
+  fix). 203 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — gas_station.ml baseline (find unique start
+  station for circular gas tour, gas=[1;2;3;4;5] cost=[3;4;5;1;2]
+  → start at index 3). Classic O(n) greedy: walk once tracking the
+  total tank delta (if negative, no solution → -1) and a running
+  tank that resets to 0 when it goes negative, advancing start
+  past the failing index. From station 3: tank 3,3+5,3+5−3,…
+  succeeds. Tests `total` + `curr` parallel accumulators, reset-
+  on-failure pattern. 202 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — min_jumps.ml baseline (greedy BFS-like
+  min jumps to reach end of [2;3;1;1;2;4;2;0;1;1] = 4). At each
+  position track the farthest reach within the current "BFS
+  layer"; when i reaches the layer end, bump jumps and extend to
+  farthest. Optimal jump sequence 0→1→4→5→9 = 4 jumps. Tests
+  greedy-with-frontier idiom, three parallel refs (jumps, cur_end,
+  farthest), mixed for-style index loop using ref. 201 baseline
+  programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — combinations.ml baseline (C(9, 4) = 126
+  enumerated). Pascal-style recursive split: with first element h,
+  combinations either include h (recurse with k−1 on rest) or
+  exclude h (recurse with k on rest); identity choose k [] = [].
+  C(9, 4) = 126 = 9!/(4!·5!). Tests pure-functional combination
+  enumeration with `List.map` + closure over `h`, `@` append,
+  and `[] | h :: rest` pattern match on shrinking input.
+  200 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — unique_paths_obs.ml baseline (count
+  monotone paths in 4×4 grid with obstacles at (1,1),(2,3),(3,0)
+  = 3). Standard 2D DP with obstacle gating: dp[i][j] = dp[i-1][j]
+  + dp[i][j-1] when grid[i][j]=0, else 0. Complements grid_paths.ml
+  (no-obstacles version): the same DP but obstacles zero out
+  cells, reshaping the path count. 199 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — daily_temperatures.ml baseline (monotonic
+  decreasing stack of waiting days until warmer; sum over
+  [73;74;75;71;69;72;76;73] = 10). For each day i, pop all stack
+  entries whose temperature is strictly less than today's,
+  recording `i - top` for each. Result vector [1,1,4,2,1,1,0,0]
+  sums to 10. Complementary to next_greater.ml — same monotonic-
+  stack skeleton but stores the distance to the next greater
+  element instead of its value. Tests pattern `match !stack with
+  | top :: rest when condition -> … | _ -> exit` inside while.
+  198 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — count_bits.ml baseline (sum of popcount for
+  0..100 = 319). DP recurrence: popcount(i) = popcount(i/2) +
+  (i mod 2) — drop the low bit and recurse, adding back the bit
+  if it was 1. Avoids needing host bitwise ops (i mod 2 stands in
+  for `i land 1`, i/2 for `i lsr 1`). Sum over 0..100 = 319.
+  Tests pure-arithmetic popcount, accumulating ref + array.
+  197 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — bs_rotated.ml baseline (binary search in
+  rotated sorted array; encoded result -66). For [4;5;6;7;0;1;2]:
+  - search 0 → index 4
+  - search 7 → index 3
+  - search 3 → −1 (not present)
+  Encoded: 4 + 3*10 + (-1)*100 = -66. Each step decides which half
+  is sorted by comparing arr[lo] vs arr[mid], then checks whether
+  the target falls in that sorted half. First baseline with a
+  negative top-level result; test runner uses literal `grep -qF`
+  so the leading minus is fine. 196 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — task_scheduler.ml baseline (task cooldown
+  formula, "AAABBC" with n=2 → 7 intervals). Counts each letter,
+  finds max frequency `m` and the number of letters that hit that
+  max `k`. Formula: `(m-1)·(n+1) + k`, taking the larger of that
+  and the total task count when interleaving fills the schedule.
+  Witness: A,B,C,A,B,idle,A satisfies cooldown 2 between A→A and
+  B→B. Tests String.iter with side-effecting closure (count
+  histogram update via Char.code arithmetic). 195 baseline
+  programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — min_subarr_target.ml baseline (sliding-
+  window min subarray with sum ≥ target on [2;3;1;2;4;3] target=7
+  = 2). Two-pointer: expand right, then shrink left while sum
+  stays ≥ target, recording the min length seen. Optimal window
+  is [4, 3] (positions 4-5) with sum 7, length 2. Tests `for` +
+  inner `while` shrinking loop, ref-tracked sum updated on both
+  expansion and contraction, sentinel `n + 1` for "not found".
+  194 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — min_meeting_rooms.ml baseline (sweep-line
+  for min concurrent meetings on 8 intervals = 4). Separate starts
+  and ends arrays sorted independently, then a two-pointer sweep:
+  on start<end push a new room (busy+1), else release one (busy-1).
+  Intervals: (0,30) (5,10) (15,20) (10,25) (5,12) (20,35) (0,5)
+  (8,18). At time 8: meetings (0,30), (5,10), (5,12), (8,18) all
+  active → 4 simultaneous = answer. Tests local recursive helper
+  `let bubble a = …` for in-place sort, dual-pointer sweep on
+  ordered events. 193 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — activity_select.ml baseline (greedy
+  earliest-end-time activity selection on 11 intervals → max
+  non-overlapping 4). Sort intervals by end time (bubble sort to
+  avoid relying on List.sort with tuple comparator), then sweep
+  and accept whenever start ≥ last_end. Optimal selection:
+  (1,4) → (5,7) → (8,11) → (12,14) = 4 activities. Tests double-
+  loop bubble sort on tuple array with let-pattern destructure
+  for swap key extraction, in-place swap of tuple cells via temp.
+  192 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — count_paths_dag.ml baseline (count
+  source-to-sink paths in the same 6-node DAG as topo_sort.ml,
+  paths 0→5 = 3). Topological sort via Kahn's (BFS), then relax
+  edges in topological order: paths[v] += paths[u] for each edge
+  u→v. paths[source] = 1. The three witnesses:
+    0 → 1 → 3 → 5
+    0 → 2 → 3 → 5
+    0 → 2 → 4 → 5
+  Tests Queue-driven Kahn order + List.rev to topological order,
+  module-level mutable arrays (in_deg / paths), accumulation in
+  topological traversal. 191 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — stock_two.ml baseline (max stock profit
+  with at most 2 transactions on [3;3;5;0;0;3;1;4] = 6). Two-pass
+  DP: left[i] = max single-transaction profit in prices[0..i]
+  (forward, tracking running min), right[i] = max single-transaction
+  profit in prices[i..n-1] (backward, tracking running max). Final
+  answer = max over i of left[i]+right[i], partitioning at the
+  best split. Optimal: buy@3, sell@5 (profit 2); buy@0, sell@4
+  (profit 4); total = 6. Tests parallel forward + backward passes
+  on parallel DP arrays, mixed ref+array state, downto + ascending
+  scans on same data. 190 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — house_robber.ml baseline (linear-DP
+  max non-adjacent-sum on [2;7;9;3;1;5;8;6] = 22). dp[i] =
+  max(dp[i-2]+houses[i], dp[i-1]). Optimal pick {7, 9, 5, 8} but
+  that's adjacent (5 next to 8). Re-check: {7, 9, 1, 8} sum 25?
+  Wait 9 at index 2, 1 at index 4 not adjacent; 1 at index 4, 8 at
+  index 6 not adjacent. But 7,9 are at indices 1,2 — adjacent!
+  Actual optimum: skip 0, take 7 (1), skip 2, take 3 (3), skip 4,
+  take 5 (5), skip 6, take 6 (7) = 7+3+5+6=21. Or take 2,9,1,8 =
+  20. Or 2,9,5,6 = 22? indices 0,2,5,7 (non-adjacent). 2+9+5+6=22.
+  ✓ Tests linear DP with early-return edge cases for short arrays,
+  inline-if rhs for max-of-two. 189 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — interval_overlap.ml baseline (count
+  overlapping interval pairs in 7-interval set = 6). For each pair
+  (i, j) test `s1 ≤ e2 && s2 ≤ e1`. Intervals: (1,4) (2,5) (7,9)
+  (3,6) (8,10) (11,12) (0,2). Overlapping pairs:
+    (1,4)&(2,5), (1,4)&(3,6), (1,4)&(0,2),
+    (2,5)&(3,6), (2,5)&(0,2), (7,9)&(8,10)
+  = 6 pairs. Tests double for-loop with both-side tuple destructure
+  via `let (s1, e1) = arr.(i) in`, conjunctive comparison, list-to-
+  array conversion. 188 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — count_palindromes.ml baseline (count
+  palindromic substrings of "aabaa" = 9). Expand-around-center
+  with 2n−1 centers (n odd-length, n−1 even-length); for each,
+  walk outward while characters match and both indices in range.
+  Decomposition: c/2 and (c+1)/2 gives both odd (c even) and even
+  (c odd) starting pairs. Palindromes in "aabaa": 5 singletons
+  + 2 "aa"s + 1 "aba" + 1 "aabaa" = 9. Complements lps_dp.ml
+  (longest subsequence) and manacher.ml (longest substring); this
+  one counts ALL palindromic substrings. 187 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — count_subarrays_k.ml baseline (count
+  contiguous subarrays of [1;1;1;2;-1;3;1;-2;4] summing to k=3
+  = 7). Prefix-sum brute force in O(n²): build cumulative array,
+  enumerate (i,j) pairs and check prefix[j]−prefix[i]=k. The 7
+  witnesses include [1,1,1], [1,1,2,−1], [1,2], [2,−1,3,1,−2],
+  [−1,3,1], [3], [1,−2,4]. Negative-valued arrays exercise our
+  evaluator's mixed-sign integer arithmetic (no underflow at the
+  JS safe-int boundary). 186 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — floyd_cycle.ml baseline (Floyd's tortoise
+  -and-hare cycle detection on f(x) = (2x+5) mod 17; μ=0 λ=8 →
+  encoded 8). Three phases: (1) advance slow/fast until they
+  collide inside the cycle, (2) restart slow from x0 and advance
+  both by 1 until they meet — the count is μ (tail length),
+  (3) advance fast around the cycle once until it meets slow — the
+  count is λ (cycle length). For x0=1, f(1)=7, f(7)=2, … cycles
+  through all 8 distinct values 1,7,2,9,6,0,5,15 before returning
+  to 1, so μ=0 λ=8 → 0*100+8=8. Tests three sequential while
+  loops sharing ref state, double-step `fast := f (f !fast)`,
+  meeting-condition flag pattern. 185 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — kth_two.ml baseline (8th smallest in
+  merged [1;3;5;7;9;11;13] ∪ [2;4;6;8;10;12] = 8). Two-pointer
+  merge that advances the smaller-head pointer k times. Pick rule:
+    pick_a = (j past end) ? true
+           : (i past end) ? false
+           : a[i] <= b[j]
+  Combined order is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,…; 8th element = 8. Tests
+  nested `if/else if/else` flowing into a bool, dual-ref two-
+  pointer loop, separate count counter for the k-th constraint.
+  184 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — permutations_gen.ml baseline (enumerate all
+  24 permutations of [1;2;3;4], count those with first<last = 12).
+  Recursive build via fold-pick-recurse:
+    permutations xs = ∪ over x ∈ xs of x :: p for p ∈ permutations
+                       (xs \ {x})
+  The pattern `[a; _; _; b] when a < b` then filters fixed-length
+  4-element permutations on the head/tail relation. Exactly half
+  (12) satisfy a < b by symmetry. Tests `List.filter`, recursive
+  fold with append, `[a; _; _; b]` fixed-length list pattern with
+  multiple wildcards and a `when` guard. 183 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — regex_simple.ml baseline (recursive `.`/`*`

+  Cases per pattern:
+    .a.b   — 1 match (aabb)
+    a.*b   — 2 matches (aabb, axb)
+    x*     — 2 matches ("" and "x")
+    a*b*c  — 2 matches (abc, aaabbbc)
+  Two-position lookahead for `p.[j+1] = '*'` to decide between
+  zero-match and consume-one-char-and-retry. Complements
+  wildcard_match.ml (LIKE-style `*` / `?` semantics); this one
+  has Leetcode-style `.` (any char) and `<c>*` (zero+ of c).
+  182 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — palindrome_part.ml baseline (minimum
+  palindrome-partition cuts in "aabba" = 1). Two-phase DP:
+    1) `is_pal.(i).(j)` table via length-major iteration.
+    2) `cuts.(i)` = min cuts for prefix s[0..i]; if s[0..i] itself
+       is a palindrome, 0; else min over j of (cuts.(j-1) + 1)
+       where s[j..i] is a palindrome.
+  For "aabba" the optimal partition is "a" | "abba" = 1 cut.
+  Tests sequential 2D DP passes sharing the same `is_pal` matrix,
+  inline `if/else begin/end` blocks under length-major fill, mixed

+    {(3,5),(3,6),(4,5),(5,3),(5,4),(5,5)}
+    {(4,0),(5,0),(5,1)}
+  Complementary to flood_fill.ml which measures largest component;

+  one fill per island root. 180 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — dp_word_break.ml baseline (word-break DP
+  over 5 strings with 9-word dictionary; 4 strings segmentable).
+  dp[i] = ∃ word w of length wl ≤ i with prefix s[i−wl..i]=w and
+  dp[i−wl]=true. Inputs: applepenapple, pineapplepenapple,

+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — histogram_area.ml baseline (largest
+  rectangle in histogram [2;1;5;6;2;3] = 10). Linear-time stack
+  algorithm: push indices while heights are non-decreasing; on
+  drop, pop and compute the bar's max-width rectangle. Sentinel
+  iteration at i=n with h=0 flushes remaining stack. The bars at
+  indices 2 and 3 (heights 5 and 6) form a width-2 rectangle of

+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — lps_dp.ml baseline (longest palindromic
+  subsequence in "BBABCBCAB" = 7). Classic 2D O(n²) DP over
+  substring lengths: dp[i][j] = dp[i+1][j-1] + 2 when s[i]=s[j],
+  else max(dp[i+1][j], dp[i][j-1]). Witness LPS is "BABCBAB" (or
+  "BACBCAB" etc.) of length 7. Complementary to manacher.ml
+  (substring, length 7) — this is the subsequence variant.
+  Tests length-major fill order, mixed strict/inline if for

+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — bs_bounds.ml baseline (lower_bound /
+  upper_bound binary search; counts of {3,2,5,9,4} in
+  [1;2;2;3;3;3;5;7;9] encoded as 3211). Standard half-open

+  Classic 2D DP: dp[i][j] = dp[i-1][j] + (s[i-1]=t[j-1] ? dp[i-1][j-1]
+  : 0). Three witnesses correspond to which `b` in "rabbbit" is
+  dropped: positions 2, 3, or 4 (0-indexed of the three b's).
+  Complements existing subseq_check.ml which just tests presence.
+  Tests 2D DP with `Array.init … (fun _ -> Array.make …)`, edge-
+  case base row dp[i][0]=1 (empty t is a subseq of any prefix).
+  175 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — bracket_match.ml baseline (multi-bracket
+  parenthesis matching over 9 test strings, 5 balanced). Stack-

+  Sequence: `() [{()}] ({[}]) "" (( ()[](){} (a(b)c) (() ])` →
+  yes/yes/no/yes/no/yes/yes/no/no = 5.
+  Tests `begin … match !stack with [] -> … | top :: rest -> … end`
+  with side-effecting match arms inside a `while` body, ref-of-list

+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — wildcard_match.ml baseline (recursive `*`
+  /`?` wildcard matcher; over 3×6 = 18 (pattern, text) combos,
+  6 match). Cases:
+    a*b   — 1 match (aaab)
+    ?b*c  — 1 match (abc)
+    *x*y* — 4 matches (abxyz, xy, xyz, axby)
+  is_match uses `||` for the `*` alternation (consume zero or one
+  more char and recurse) and `&&` for the literal/`?` case.
+  Tests deeply nested short-circuit, char equality in pattern
+  predicate, doubly-nested `List.iter` to enumerate the cross
+  product. 173 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — powerset_target.ml baseline (count subsets

+- 2026-05-11 Phase 5.1 — parser: top-level tuple patterns
+  (`match e1, e2 with | p1, p2 -> …`). `parse-pattern` now collects
+  comma-separated patterns into a `:ptuple`, mirroring the scrutinee
+  side which already builds tuples via `parse-tuple`. Real OCaml
+  accepts this ad-hoc tuple shorthand without surrounding parens.
+  lru_cache.ml reverts the iter-258 workaround back to the natural
+  `match n, lst with | 0, _ -> [] | _, [] -> [] | _, h :: r -> …`

+  cache of capacity 3, fingerprint 100 + (-1) + 300 + 100 = 499).
+  Each `get` / `put` removes the existing entry then conses the
+  fresh one to the front; `put` evicts the tail when over capacity.
+  Tests `match … with [] -> … | (k', v) :: rest when k' = k -> …`
+  pattern matching with `when` guards over tuple-cons patterns,

+  prefix_sum n = 64; after +100 at index 1, prefix_sum n = 164;
+  64 + 164 = 228. Because our `land` evaluator implementation only
+  handles non-negative operands (iter 127 bitwise-via-arithmetic
+  workaround), and Fenwick relies on `i & -i` to extract the
+  lowest set bit, we replace `i land (-i)` with a portable

+  Magic constant for an n×n square is n(n²+1)/2 = 5·26/2 = 65.

+  for 2 eggs, 36 floors = 8). Classic O(e·f²) DP: dp[e][f] = 1 +
+  min over k of max(dp[e-1][k-1], dp[e][f-k]). Closed form via
+  triangular numbers gives ⌈(√(1+8·36)−1)/2⌉ = 8, matching the

+  (2,5), (0,3); shoelace sum |Σ(x_i·y_{i+1} − x_{i+1}·y_i)| = 32 so
+  the area is 16, and we return the doubled form to stay integral.
+  Tests `let (x1, y1) = arr.(i) in` tuple destructuring from array
+  access (previously suspected broken in bfs_grid but works here —

+  because their rhs was always safe regardless of lhs, but a guard
+  like `if nr >= 0 && grid.(nr).(nc) = 0 then …` crashes with
+  "nth: list/string and number" when nr = -1 because `grid.(-1)`
+  still gets evaluated. Fix: dispatch `&&` and `||` specially in
+  `:op` to evaluate lhs first and only evaluate rhs if needed.
+  Bug latent since baseline 1; surfaced by bfs_grid with bounds-

+  84 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — tree_depth.ml baseline (binary tree depth,
+  longest path = 4). Same `tree = Leaf | Node of int * tree * tree`
+  ADT as iter 159, but recursion now ignores the value

+  Splits text on `'\n'` then folds with the contains predicate. Test
+  text has 4 lines, 3 contain 'fox' (incl 'foxes'). 43 baseline
+  programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — pretty_table.ml baseline (Buffer + Printf
+  width specifiers, total length 64). Builds a 4-row scoreboard via
+  Buffer + `Printf.sprintf "%-10s %4d\n"`. Each row is exactly 16
+  chars (10 name + 1 space + 4 score + 1 newline) regardless of
+  actual content length thanks to width padding. 4 rows = 64 chars.
+  Combines Buffer.add_string + Printf.sprintf with `%-Ns` /
+  `%Nd` width specifiers + List.iter on tuple-pattern args. 42
+  baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — bitwise ops `land`/`lor`/`lxor`/`lsl`/`lsr`/
+  `asr` + bits.ml baseline (popcount-sum = 21) (+5 tests, 607 total).
+  The binop precedence table already had these but eval-op fell
+  through to "unknown operator". Implemented in eval.sx via
+  arithmetic on the host (mod / floor / div) since SX doesn't expose
+  bitwise primitives. asr aliased to lsr (no sign extension at our
+  bit width). bits.ml exercises `m land 1` + `m lsr 1` inside a while
+  loop. 41 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — ackermann.ml baseline (Ackermann function,
+  ack(3, 4) = 125). Three-arm recursion: m=0 base, n=0 reduces m,
+  else doubly-nested recursion `ack (m-1) (ack m (n-1))`. ack(3, 4)
+  expands to ~6700 frames in our spec-level evaluator, so a useful
+  exercise of the call stack and control transfer. Real OCaml
+  evaluates the same in milliseconds; ours takes ~2 minutes on a
+  contended host but completes correctly. 40 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — rpn.ml baseline (Reverse Polish Notation
+  evaluator using Stack). Walks the token list with List.iter, pushes
+  ints onto the stack, on operator tokens pops two operands and
+  pushes the result. `[3 4 + 2 * 5 -]` evaluates as 3+4=7, 7*2=14,
+  14-5=9 → 9. Exercises Stack.create / push / pop, mixed branch on
+  string equality, multi-arm if/else if, int_of_string for token
+  parsing. 39 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — newton_sqrt.ml baseline (Newton's method
+  for sqrt, sqrt(2)*1000 truncated → 1414). 20 iterations of
+  `g := (g + x/g) / 2` converges to ~1.414213562 for x=2. Multiplied
+  by 1000 and int_of_float'd gives 1414. First baseline that
+  exercises `for _ = 1 to N do ... done` (wildcard loop variable),
+  pure float arithmetic with `+.` `/.`, and the `int_of_float` fix
+  from iteration 117. 38 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — hanoi.ml baseline (Tower of Hanoi move
+  count, n=10 → 1023). Classic doubly-recursive solution returning
+  the number of moves: `hanoi n from to via = hanoi (n-1) from via
+  to + 1 + hanoi (n-1) via to from`. Counts to 2^10 - 1 = 1023 for
+  n=10, exercising tail-position addition + 4-arg recursion +
+  conditional base case. (Uses `to_` instead of `to` to avoid
+  collision with the `to` keyword in for-loops — OCaml conventional
+  workaround.) 37 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — validate.ml baseline (Either-based input
+  validation, 3 errors × 100 + 117 sum = 417). validate_int returns
+  `Left msg` on empty / non-digit, `Right (int_of_string s)` on a
+  digit-only string. process folds inputs with a tuple accumulator
+  `(errs, sum)`, branching on the result. ["12"; "abc"; "5"; "";
+  "100"; "x"] → (3, 117) → 417. Exercises Either constructors used
+  bare (no qualification), char range comparison, tuple-pattern
+  destructuring on let-binding, recursive helper inside if-else. 36
+  baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — word_freq.ml baseline (Map.Make on String,
+  count distinct words → 8). Defines a StringOrd module + applies
+  Map.Make to it. Folds the input through SMap.find_opt + SMap.add to
+  count each word, then reports SMap.cardinal. "the quick brown fox
+  jumps over the lazy dog" — "the" appears twice, so 8 distinct
+  words. First baseline using Map.Make on a string-keyed map. 35
+  baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Either module + Hashtbl.copy (+4 tests, 602
+  total). Either: left, right, is_left, is_right, find_left,
+  find_right, map_left, map_right, fold, equal, compare. Constructors
+  are bare `Left x` / `Right x` (per OCaml 4.12+). Hashtbl.copy
+  builds a fresh cell, walks `_hashtbl_to_list`, and re-adds; mutating
+  one copy doesn't touch the other (verified by `Hashtbl.length t +
+  Hashtbl.length t2 = 3` after a fork-and-add).
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — json_pretty.ml baseline (recursive ADT
+  serialization). Defines a JSON-like ADT (JNull / JBool / JInt /
+  JStr / JList) and recursively pretty-prints to a string, then
+  measures length. Tests algebraic data types with five constructors
+  (one nullary, three single-arg, one list-arg), recursive `match`
+  with five arms, `String.concat "," (List.map ...)`, and string
+  concatenation. `[1,true,null,"hi",[2,3]]` → 24 chars. 34 baseline
+  programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — shuffle.ml baseline (Fisher-Yates with
+  deterministic Random.init seed). In-place swap loop using `for i =
+  n - 1 downto 1` and `a.(i) <- a.(j)`. Sum is invariant under
+  permutation, so the test value (55 for [1..10]) verifies that the
+  shuffle is a valid permutation regardless of which one. Exercises
+  Random.init / Random.int + Array.of_list / to_list / length /
+  arr.(i) / arr.(i) <- v + downto loop. 33 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — pi_leibniz.ml baseline (Leibniz formula,
+  1000 terms × 100 → 314). Side-quest: `int_of_float` was wrong —
+  defined as identity in iteration 94 instead of truncation. Fixed
+  to `if f < 0.0 then ceil else floor` (truncate toward zero, real
+  OCaml semantics). Float.to_int still uses floor since OCaml's
+  documentation says "result is unspecified if the argument is nan
+  or falls outside the int range" — close enough for our scope. 32
+  baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Float module fleshed out (+6 tests, 598
+  total). New Float members: zero, one, minus_one, abs, neg, add,
+  sub, mul, div, max, min, equal, compare, to_int, of_int,
+  of_string. Most just lift the host operators (`+.` is already
+  available as a global). Aligns Float with Int module's API and
+  unblocks idiomatic float arithmetic in baselines.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — balance.ml baseline (paren/bracket/brace
+  balance using Stack). is_balanced walks a string; on opener push,
+  on closer check stack non-empty + top matches expected opener (else
+  fail). Returns ok && is_empty stack at end. 5 test cases:
+  "({[abc]d}e)" ✓, "(a]" ✗, "{[}]" ✗ (mismatched closers), "(())" ✓,
+  "" ✓ → 3 balanced. Exercises Stack.create / push / pop / is_empty /
+  s.[!i] / while + bool ref short-circuit. 31 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — safe_div.ml baseline + Result.equal /
+  compare / iter_error (+3 tests, 592 total). safe_div divides only
+  if divisor non-zero, returns `Error "..."` otherwise. sum_safe folds
+  pairs with `Ok q -> acc+q | Error _ -> acc`.
+  `[(10,2);(20,4);(30,0);(50,5)]` → 5+5+0+10 = 20. Result additions:
+  equal/compare take separate eq/cmp for Ok and Error sides; Ok < Error
+  (-1) and Error > Ok (1). 30 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — List.equal / List.compare (+5 tests, 589
+  total). Both take an inner predicate / comparator and walk both
+  lists in lockstep. equal short-circuits on first mismatch.
+  compare returns -1 if a is a strict prefix, 1 if b is, 0 if both
+  empty, otherwise the first non-zero element comparison. Mirrors
+  real OCaml's signatures: `List.equal eq a b`, `List.compare cmp
+  a b`.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Bool module + Option.equal / Option.compare
+  (+5 tests, 584 total). Bool: equal, compare (false < true via if
+  ladder), to_string, of_string, not_, to_int. Option additions
+  take an `eq` or `cmp` parameter for the inner-value check, mirroring
+  real OCaml's signature: `Option.equal eq a b`, `Option.compare cmp
+  a b`. None < Some _ for compare.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — bag.ml baseline + String.equal/compare/cat/
+  empty (+3 tests, 579 total). bag.ml: split a sentence on spaces,
+  count word frequency in a Hashtbl, return the maximum count.
+  Sentence "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog the fox" has
+  "the"×3 as the most frequent → 3. Exercises String.split_on_char +
+  Hashtbl.find_opt/replace + Hashtbl.fold over (k, v) tuples. 29
+  baseline programs total. String additions: equal, compare (via host
+  `<`/`>`), cat (alias of `^`), empty.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — fraction.ml baseline (rational arithmetic
+  via record + gcd canonicalization). Defines `type frac = { num;
+  den }`, `make` that reduces via gcd and forces den > 0, `add` and
+  `mul` constructors. Computes (1/2 + 1/3) + (2/3 * 3/4) = 4/3, sums
+  num + den = 7. Exercises records, recursive gcd, `mod`, `abs`,
+  integer division, and the new `Int.rem`-style truncate-zero
+  division semantics from iteration 94. 28 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Seq module (eager, list-backed) (+4 tests,
+  576 total). Real OCaml's Seq is lazy (a thunk producing
+  Cons / Nil); ours is just a list, which is adequate for most
+  baseline programs that don't rely on infinite sequences. API:
+  empty, cons, return, is_empty, iter, iteri, map, filter,
+  filter_map, fold_left, length, take, drop, append, to_list,
+  of_list, init, unfold. unfold takes a step fn `acc -> Option (elt
+  * acc)` and threads through until it returns None. Lets us write
+  `Seq.fold_left (+) 0 (Seq.unfold (fun n -> if n > 4 then None else
+  Some (n, n + 1)) 1)` → 10.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — unique_set.ml baseline (Set.Make + IntOrd
+  functor app, count uniques in [3;1;4;1;5;9;2;6;5;3;5;8;9;7;9] →
+  9). First baseline that exercises the functor pipeline end to
+  end: defines an Ord module with `type t = int` + `compare`, applies
+  Set.Make to it, then folds the input list adding each element to
+  the set and queries `IntSet.cardinal`. 27 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — Set.Make / Map.Make functor application
+  smoke tests (+3 tests, 572 total). Functors were already wired
+  through ocaml-make-functor in eval.sx but had no explicit tests
+  for the user-defined Ord application path. Confirms that
+  `module S = Set.Make (IntOrd) ;; let s = ... in S.elements s`,
+  `S.mem 2 s`, and `Map.Make (IntOrd) ;; M.cardinal m` all work end
+  to end.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Filename module + Char.compare/equal/escaped
+  (+7 tests, 569 total). Filename: basename, dirname, extension,
+  chop_extension, concat, is_relative + dir_sep / current_dir_name /
+  parent_dir_name constants. Forward-slash only, doesn't try to
+  detect Windows separators. Char additions: equal, compare (via
+  code subtraction), escaped (handles `\n`/`\t`/`\r`/`\\`/`\"`).
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — basic labeled / optional argument syntax
+  (label dropped, positional semantics) (+3 tests, 562 total). Three
+  parser changes:
+  (1) `at-app-start?` returns true on op `~` or `?` so the app loop
+      keeps consuming labeled args;
+  (2) the app arg parser handles `~name:VAL` (drop label, parse VAL),
+      `?name:VAL` (same), and `~name` punning (treat as `(:var name)`);
+  (3) `try-consume-param!` drops `~` / `?` and treats the following
+      ident as a regular positional param name.
+  Order in the call must match definition order — we don't reorder
+  args by label name. Optional args don't auto-wrap in Some, so the
+  function body sees the raw value for `?x:V`. Lets us write
+  `let f ~x ~y = x + y in f ~x:3 ~y:7` and `let x = 4 in let y = 5
+  in f ~x ~y` (punning).
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — merge_sort.ml baseline (user-implemented
+  mergesort, sorted sum = 44). Stress-tests `let (a, b) = split rest
+  in (x :: a, y :: b)` (let-tuple destructuring inside a recursive
+  match arm), nested match-in-match for the merge merge step, and
+  the (op) operator section `(+)` as fold accumulator. 26 baseline
+  programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — top-level `let f (a, b) = body` tuple-param
+  decl (+3 tests, 559 total). parse-decl-let (which lives outside
+  the ocaml-parse scope and lacks parse-pattern access) uses a
+  source-slicing approach: detect `(IDENT, ...)`, scan tokens to
+  matching `)`, slice the pattern source string, store as
+  (synth_name, pat_src). After collecting params, wrap the rhs
+  source string with `match SN with PAT_SRC -> (RHS_SRC)` for each
+  tuple-param, innermost first, then ocaml-parse the wrapped
+  string. End result is the same shape as the inner-let case: a
+  function whose body destructures a synthetic name.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — `let f (a, b) = body in body2` tuple-param on
+  inner-let bindings (+3 tests, 556 total). Mirrors iteration 101's
+  parse-fun change inside parse-let's parse-one!: same `(IDENT, ...)`
+  detection, same `__pat_N` synth name, same innermost-first match
+  wrapping — but applied to the rhs of the let-binding (which is the
+  function value). Lets us write `let f (a, b) = a + b in f (3, 7)`,
+  `let g x (a, b) = x + a + b in g 1 (2, 3)`, and `let h (a, b)
+  (c, d) = a * b + c * d in h (1, 2) (3, 4)`.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — `fun (a, b) -> body` tuple-param destructuring
+  (+4 tests, 553 total). parse-fun's collect-params now detects
+  `(IDENT, ...)` (lookahead at peek-tok-at 1/2 to distinguish from
+  `(x : T)` and `()` cases), generates a synthetic `__pat_N` name as
+  the actual fun param, and remembers the pattern in tuple-binds.
+  After parsing the body, wraps it innermost-first with one
+  `match __pat_N with PAT -> ...` per tuple-param. Also retroactively
+  simplifies `Hashtbl.keys`/`values` from
+  `fun pair -> match pair with (k, _) -> k` to plain
+  `fun (k, _) -> k`.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Random module (LCG-based, deterministic) (+4
+  tests, 549 total). Linear-congruential PRNG with mutable seed
+  (`_state` ref). API: init, self_init, int, bool, float, bits.
+  `int bound` returns `|state| mod bound` after stepping. Same seed
+  reproduces same sequence — useful for testing shuffles and Monte
+  Carlo demos. Real OCaml's Random uses Lagged Fibonacci; ours is
+  simpler but adequate for baseline programs.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Hashtbl.keys / values / bindings / remove /
+  clear / reset / to_seq / to_seq_keys / to_seq_values (+4 tests, 545
+  total). Two new host primitives `_hashtbl_remove` and
+  `_hashtbl_clear`; the rest are pure OCaml-syntax helpers in
+  runtime.sx that map over `_hashtbl_to_list`. `keys` and `values`
+  pattern-match the (k, v) tuples to extract one side. Note: a
+  detour to also support top-level `let (a, b) = expr` was reverted
+  — `parse-decl-let` lives in the outer ocaml-parse-program scope
+  which doesn't have access to parse-pattern; will need a slice +
+  inner-parse trick later.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — `let PATTERN = expr in body` tuple
+  destructuring (+3 tests, 541 total). When `let` is followed by `(`,
+  parse-let now reads a full pattern, expects `=`, then `in`, and
+  desugars to `(:match expr ((:case PATTERN body)))`. Reuses the
+  pattern parser used by match. `let (a, b, c) = (10, 20, 30) in
+  a+b+c` → 60. Also retroactively cleans up the Printf width-pos
+  packing hack from iteration 97 — it's now `let (width, spec_pos)
+  = parse_width_loop after_flags in ...` like real OCaml.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Printf width specifiers `%5d` / `%-5d` /
+  `%05d` / `%4s` etc. (+5 tests, 538 total). Walker now parses
+  optional `-` (left-align) and `0` (zero-pad) flags after `%`, then
+  optional decimal width digits, then the spec letter. After
+  formatting the arg into a base string, pads to the width using
+  spaces (or zeros if `0` flag and not `-`). Encoded width+spec_pos
+  return as `width * 1000000 + spec_pos` because the parser does not
+  yet support tuple destructuring in `let` (TODO: lift that
+  limitation; for now this round-trips losslessly for any practical
+  width). Examples: `%5d` 42 = "   42", `%-5d|` 42 = "42   |",
+  `%05d` 42 = "00042".
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Printf.sprintf adds %i, %u (aliases of %d),
+  %x (lowercase hex), %X (uppercase hex), %o (octal) (+5 tests, 533
+  total). New host primitives `_int_to_hex_lower`, `_int_to_hex_upper`,
+  `_int_to_octal` build the digit string by repeated host
+  `floor (/ n base)` + `mod`. The Printf walker fans out specs to the
+  right host helper. Examples: `%x` 255 = "ff", `%X` 4096 = "1000",
+  `%o` 8 = "10", multi: `%x %X %o` 255 4096 8 = "ff 1000 10".
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — List.sort upgraded from O(n²) insertion sort
+  to O(n log n) mergesort (+3 tests, 528 total). split + merge are
+  inner functions of sort; tuple destructuring on the split result is
+  expressed via nested match (pattern parser needs explicit
+  paren-wrapping of tuple patterns inside match arms in some places —
+  inline let-tuple destructuring on a match RHS would be cleaner if
+  multi-binding `let (a, b) = ...` were promoted, but this works
+  today). Should make sort-using baselines noticeably faster on
+  larger lists; existing sort_uniq automatically benefits.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — integer `/` is now truncate-toward-zero on
+  ints, IEEE on floats. Both operands integral → host floor/ceil based
+  on sign; otherwise host `/`. Fixes `Int.rem` (which was returning 0
+  for `Int.rem 17 5` because `a / b` was producing a float). Also adds
+  Int.{max_int,min_int,zero,one,minus_one,succ,pred,neg,add,sub,mul,
+  div,rem,equal,compare} and global max_int/min_int/abs_float/
+  float_of_int/int_of_float (+5 tests, 525 total).
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Array.sort/stable_sort/fast_sort + sub +
+  append + exists + for_all + mem (+5 tests, 520 total). All
+  delegate to the corresponding List operation on the cell's
+  underlying list (sort mutates by replacing the cell, the rest are
+  pure observers). Array round-trip via of_list → sort → to_list
+  works as expected.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — brainfuck.ml baseline (subset interpreter,
+  five `+++++.` groups → cumulative 5+10+15+20+25 = 75). No loop
+  brackets — the interpreter only handles `> < + - .`, but that's
+  enough to exercise Array.make, arr.(i), arr.(i) <- v, prog.[!pc],
+  ref/!/:=, while loop with conditional update via nested if/else.
+  25 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — sieve.ml baseline (Sieve of Eratosthenes,
+  count of primes ≤ 50 = 15). Stresses Array.make + arr.(i) +
+  arr.(i) <- v + nested for/while loops + `begin..end` block. 24
+  baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — `arr.(i)` and `arr.(i) <- v` array indexing
+  syntax (+3 tests, 515 total). parse-atom-postfix's `.(...)` branch
+  now disambiguates between let-open and array-get based on whether
+  the head is a module path (`:con` or a `:field` chain rooted in a
+  `:con`). Module paths still emit `(:let-open M EXPR)`; everything
+  else emits `(:array-get ARR I)`. Eval handles `:array-get` by
+  reading the cell's underlying list at index. The `<-` assignment
+  handler now also accepts `:array-get` lhs and rewrites the cell
+  with one position changed. Lets us write idiomatic OCaml array code:
+    let a = Array.make 5 0 in
+    for i = 0 to 4 do a.(i) <- i * i done;
+    a.(3) + a.(4)              (* = 25 *)
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Array module (ref-of-list backing) + (op)
+  operator sections (+6 tests, 512 total). Array implements
+  make/length/get/set/init/iter/iteri/map/mapi/fold_left/to_list/
+  of_list/copy/blit/fill in OCaml syntax in runtime.sx; backing is a
+  `ref of list` so set is O(n) but mutation works. (op) sections in
+  parse-atom: when the token after `(` is a binop and the next is
+  `)`, emit `(:fun ("a" "b") (:op OP a b))` — `(+)` becomes `fun a b
+  -> a + b`. Recognises any binop in the precedence table including
+  `mod`, `land`, `^`, `@`, `::`, etc. Lets us write `List.fold_left
+  (+) 0 xs` and `((-) 10)` partial applications.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — csv.ml baseline (split on '\n' then ',',
+  parse-int the second field, fold-left). Exercises char escapes
+  inside string literals, two-stage String.split_on_char, mixed
+  List.fold_left + int_of_string + List.nth. Sums column 2 of a
+  4-row inline CSV → 1+2+3+4 = 10. 23 baseline programs total.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — polymorphic variants confirmation (+3 tests,
+  506 total). The tokenizer was already classifying `` `Tag `` as a
+  ctor identical to a nominal one, but it had never been exercised by
+  tests. Now verified that nullary, n-ary, and list-of-polyvariants
+  patterns all match: `` `Foo``, `` `Pair (5, 7)``, `[`On; `Off]`.
+  Effectively free since OCaml-on-SX is dynamic — there's no
+  structural row inference, but matching by tag works.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — List.sort_uniq / List.find_map (+2 tests, 503
+  total). sort_uniq sorts then dedups consecutive equals. find_map
+  walks until the user fn returns `Some v` and returns it (or `None`
+  on empty/all-None). Closes two of the most-asked-for list ops; both
+  defined in OCaml syntax in runtime.sx.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — String.iter / iteri / fold_left / fold_right /
+  to_seq / of_seq (+3 tests, 501 total). All implemented in OCaml
+  syntax inside the runtime stdlib; iter / iteri walk via index +
+  side-effecting `f`, fold_left / fold_right thread an accumulator,
+  to_seq returns a char list, of_seq concats a char list back to a
+  string. Round-trip: `String.of_seq (List.rev (String.to_seq
+  "hello"))` → "olleh".
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — frequency.ml baseline + Format module alias
+  (+2 tests, 498 total). frequency.ml builds a Hashtbl of char→count
+  via `Hashtbl.find_opt` + `Hashtbl.replace` inside a `for` loop, then
+  uses `Hashtbl.fold` to find the maximum count. `count_chars
+  "abracadabra"` → max is 5 (a×5). Format module added as a thin
+  alias of Printf — sprintf / printf / asprintf all delegate.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — `lazy EXPR` + `Lazy.force` (+2 tests, 496
+  total). Tokenizer already had `lazy` as a keyword. parse-prefix now
+  emits `(:lazy EXPR)`; eval creates a one-element cell with state
+  `("Thunk" expr env)`. Host primitive `_lazy_force` flips the cell to
+  `("Forced" v)` on first call and returns the cached value on
+  subsequent calls. Memoization confirmed by tracking a side-effect
+  counter through two forces (counter increments only once).
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Hashtbl.iter / Hashtbl.fold (+2 tests, 494
+  total). New host primitive `_hashtbl_to_list` returns the entries
+  as a list of OCaml tuples (`("tuple" k v)` form, matching the AST
+  representation that pattern matching expects). Hashtbl.iter / fold
+  in runtime walk that list with the user fn. Closes a long-standing
+  gap: previously Hashtbl was opaque after writing to it.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 6 — Printf.sprintf with %d/%s/%f/%c/%b/%% (+4
+  tests) and global `string_of_int`/`string_of_float`/`string_of_bool`
+  (+1 test). 492 total. sprintf walks fmt char-by-char accumulating
+  a prefix; on a recognised spec it returns a one-arg fn that formats
+  the arg and recurses on the rest of fmt — naturally curries to the
+  right arity since the spec count drives the chain. Dynamic typing
+  lets us return either a string (no specs) or a function (≥1 spec)
+  from the same expression, which OCaml proper would reject.
+  Examples:
+    Printf.sprintf "x=%d" 42                = "x=42"
+    Printf.sprintf "%s = %d" "answer" 42    = "answer = 42"
+    Printf.sprintf "%d%%" 50                 = "50%"
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 4 — `assert EXPR` (+3 tests, 487 total). Tokenizer
+  already classified `assert` as a keyword; parse-prefix now handles
+  it like `not` (advance, recur, wrap). Eval evaluates the operand and
+  returns nil on truthy, raises `Assert_failure` on false (host-side
+  error so existing try/with handles it). `try (assert false; 0) with
+  _ -> 99` → 99.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — levenshtein.ml baseline (recursive edit
+  distance, no memo). Sums distances for five short pairs:
+  ("abc","abx")=1 + ("ab","ba")=2 + ("abc","axyc")=2 +
+  ("","abcd")=4 + ("ab","")=2 = 11. Exercises curried four-arg
+  recursion + s.[i] equality test + min nested twice + mixed empty
+  string base cases.
+- 2026-05-09 Phase 5.1 — caesar.ml baseline (ROT13 with String.init +
+  s.[i] + Char.code/chr). Side-quests:
+  (1) top-level `let r = expr in body` is now treated as an expression
+  decl when has-matching-in? returns true at the dispatcher. Slices via
+  skip-let-rhs-boundary which already opens depth on a leading let
+  with matching in;
+  (2) added String.make / String.init / String.map to runtime;
+  (3) bumped lib/ocaml/baseline/run.sh per-program timeout 240→480s
+  for headroom on contended hosts.
+  Test = `Char.code r.[0] + Char.code r.[4]` after ROT13 round-trip on
+  "hello" → 215 (h+o).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — `s.[i]` string indexing syntax (+3 tests, 484
+  total). parse-atom-postfix now handles `.[expr]` after `.`,
+  emitting `(:string-get S I)`; eval reduces to host `(nth s i)`.
+  Pairs with the existing `M.(expr)` and `.field` postfixes — all three
+  share one dot loop. `let s = "hi" in for i = 0 to String.length s -
+  1 do n := !n + Char.code s.[i] done; !n` returns 209 (h+i).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — roman.ml baseline (Roman numeral greedy
+  encoding). Side-quest: top-level `let () = expr` was unsupported by
+  ocaml-parse-program — now parse-decl-let recognises `()` as a unit
+  binding (`__unit_NN` synthetic name), matching the inner-let handling
+  in parse-let. roman.ml uses recursive pattern match on
+  `(int * string) list` greedy table + `List.fold_left + String.length`
+  to compute the cumulative length of 9 encoded numbers (44).
+  Bumped test.sh server timeout 180→360s for headroom on contended
+  systems.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — `M.(expr)` local-open expression form (+3
+  tests, 481 total). Implemented in parse-atom-postfix: after
+  consuming `.`, if next token is `(`, parse the inner expression and
+  emit `(:let-open M EXPR)` instead of `:field`. Cleanly composes with
+  existing `:let-open` evaluator. `List.(length [1;2;3])` → 3,
+  `Option.(map (fun x -> x * 10) (Some 4))` → Some 40.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — `let open M in body` local opens (+3 tests, 478
+  total). Parser detects `let open` as a separate let-form, parses M
+  as a path (Ctor(.Ctor)*), and emits `(:let-open PATH BODY)`. Eval
+  resolves the path to a module dict and merges its bindings into the
+  env for body evaluation. `let open List in map (fun x -> x * 2)
+  [1;2;3]` → `[2;4;6]`.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — `:def-mut` / `:def-rec-mut` inside module
+  bodies (+2 tests, 475 total). `ocaml-eval-module` now handles
+  multi-binding `let .. and ..` decls. `module M = struct let rec a n =
+  ... and b n = ... end` works.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — bfs.ml baseline (20/20 pass). Graph
+  breadth-first search using Queue + Hashtbl visited-set + List.assoc_opt
+  + List.iter. Returns the count of reachable nodes (6 for the demo
+  graph A→B→D→F, A→C→{D,E}, E→F).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1 — type annotations on let-bindings and parens
+  expressions (+4 tests, 473 total). `let NAME [PARAMS] : T = expr`
+  and `(expr : T)` parse and skip the type source. Runtime no-op
+  (dynamic). Works in inline let, top-level let, and parenthesised
+  expressions: `let f (x : int) : int = x + 1 in f 41`.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+5.1 — type aliases + poly_stack baseline (+3
+  tests, 469 total + 19 baseline). Parser dispatch on the post-`=`
+  token: `|` or `Ctor` → sum, `{` → record, otherwise → alias (skip
+  to boundary). AST `(:type-alias NAME PARAMS)` with body discarded.
+  Runtime no-op. poly_stack.ml baseline exercises a functor whose
+  parameter has `type t = int` (record alias) + `let show : t ->
+  string`. Stack uses ref + module field lookup to format ints.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2+3 — `try ... with | pat when GUARD -> body` guard
+  support (+3 tests, 467 total). parse-try mirrors match/function;
+  eval-try clause loop now dispatches on `case`/`case-when` and falls
+  through to next clause when guard is false.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+3 — `function | pat when GUARD -> body | …`
+  guard support (+3 tests, 464 total). `parse-function` mirrors the
+  match-clause when-handling.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — anagrams.ml baseline (18/18 pass). Counts
+  anagram-equivalence groups via Hashtbl + List.sort + String.get +
+  for-loop. `["eat";"tea";"tan";"ate";"nat";"bat"]` → 3 groups.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — lambda_calc.ml baseline (17/17 pass). Untyped
+  lambda calculus interpreter using two ADTs (`type term = Var | Abs |
+  App | Num`, `type value = VNum | VClos`), an env as `(string * value)
+  list`, and recursive eval. `(\x.\y.x) 7 99 = 7` end-to-end. Demonstrates
+  the substrate handles a non-trivial AST + closure-based evaluator
+  written in OCaml-on-SX.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — Char predicates: is_digit/is_alpha/is_alnum/
+  is_whitespace/is_upper/is_lower (+7 tests, 461 total). All written
+  in OCaml in runtime.sx using Char.code + ASCII range checks.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — HM for top-level `let..and..` decls (+3
+  tests, 454 total). `ocaml-type-of-program` now handles `:def-mut`
+  (sequential generalization) and `:def-rec-mut` (mutual recursion
+  with shared tvs) decls. Mutual `even`/`odd` and `map`/`length`
+  type-check at top level.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — memo_fib.ml baseline (16/16 pass). Memoized
+  fibonacci using `Hashtbl.find_opt` + `Hashtbl.add`. fib(25) = 75025.
+  Demonstrates mutable dict semantics through the OCaml stdlib API.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — queens.ml baseline (15/15 pass). 4-queens
+  count via recursive backtracking with `List.fold_left`. Returns 2
+  (the two solutions of 4-queens). Per-program timeout in run.sh
+  bumped to 240s — tree-walking interpreter is slow on heavy recursion
+  but correct. The substrate handles full backtracking + safe-check
+  recursion + list-driven candidate enumeration end-to-end.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — mutable_record.ml baseline (14/14 pass).
+  Counter-style record with two mutable fields, bump function uses
+  `r.f <- v` to mutate. End-to-end validates type decl + record
+  literal + field access + field assignment + sequence operator.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2 — mutable record fields `r.f <- v` (+4 tests, 451
+  total). `<-` added to op-table at level 1 (same as `:=`). Eval
+  short-circuits on `<-` to mutate the lhs's field via host SX
+  `dict-set!`. Tested with for-loop accumulator (`for i = 1 to 5 do
+  r.x <- r.x + i done`) and string-field reassignment. The `mutable`
+  keyword in record-type decls is parsed-and-discarded; runtime
+  semantics: every field is mutable.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+3 — record type declarations `type r = { x : int;
+  mutable y : string }` (+3 tests, 447 total). Parser dispatches on
+  `{` after `=` to parse field list (`mutable` keyword tracked).
+  AST: `(:type-def-record NAME PARAMS FIELDS)` with FIELDS each being
+  `(NAME)` or `(:mutable NAME)`. Runtime is no-op (records already
+  work as dynamic dicts). Field-type sources are skipped; HM type
+  registration deferred.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — fizzbuzz.ml baseline (12/12 pass). Classic
+  fizzbuzz using ref-cell accumulator, for-loop, mod, if/elseif chain,
+  String.concat, Int.to_string. Verifies output via String.length.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2+6 — print primitives wired to host `display` (+2
+  tests, 444 total). `print_string` / `print_endline` / `print_int` /
+  `print_newline` now use SX `display` (no auto-newline) plus an
+  explicit `"\n"` for endline. Prior version referenced `print`/
+  `println` host primitives that don't exist. `let _ = expr ;;`
+  top-level decl works as expected (already supported by the
+  wildcard-param parser).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — HM let-mut / let-rec-mut inference (+3 tests,
+  442 total). `ocaml-infer-let-mut` infers each rhs in the parent env
+  and generalizes sequentially; `ocaml-infer-let-rec-mut` pre-binds
+  all names with fresh tvs, infers each rhs against the joint env,
+  unifies, generalizes, then infers body. Mutual recursion works:
+  `let rec even n = ... and odd n = ... in even : Int -> Bool`.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — Option/Result/Bytes extensions (+9 tests, 439
+  total). Option: join, to_result, some, none. Result: value, iter,
+  fold. Bytes: length, get, of_string, to_string, concat, sub (thin
+  alias of String — SX has no separate immutable byte type). Ordering
+  fix: Bytes module placed after String so its closures capture String
+  in scope.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — `Stack` and `Queue` modules in OCaml (+5 tests,
+  430 total). Stack: ref-holding-list LIFO with push/pop/top/length/
+  is_empty/clear. Queue: amortised O(1) two-list `(front, back)` queue
+  with push/pop/length/is_empty/clear. Both written entirely in OCaml
+  via lib/ocaml/runtime.sx.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1+1+2 — calc.ml baseline (11/11 pass) — a
+  recursive-descent calculator parsing `(1 + 2) * 3 + 4` to 13. Two
+  parser bugs fixed along the way: parse-let now handles inline
+  `let rec ... and ... in body` via new `:let-rec-mut` / `:let-mut`
+  AST shapes (eval supports both); `has-matching-in?` no longer stops
+  at `and` (which is internal to a let-rec, not a decl boundary). The
+  baseline exercises mutually-recursive functions, while-loops, and
+  ref-cell-driven imperative parsing.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — word_count.ml baseline (10/10 pass). Uses
+  Map.Make(StrOrd) + List.fold_left to count word frequencies; tests
+  the full functor pipeline with a real OCaml idiom.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — Map/Set extensions: iter/fold/map/filter/
+  is_empty + Set.union/inter (+4 tests, 422 total). Functor
+  bodies grow naturally — all in OCaml syntax.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — `Map.Make` / `Set.Make` functors written in
+  OCaml (+4 tests, 418 total). Sorted association list / sorted list
+  backed (linear ops, but correct). Both take an `Ord` module supplying
+  `compare`. Tested: `module IntMap = Map.Make(IntOrd) ;; IntMap.find
+  …` and `IntSet.elements (IntSet.add 3 (IntSet.add 1 …))` returning
+  `[1; 2; 3]`. Strong substrate-validation for the functor system —
+  Map.Make is a non-trivial functor implemented entirely on top of the
+  OCaml-on-SX evaluator.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — `Sys` module constants (+5 tests, 414 total).
+  os_type, word_size, max_array_length, max_string_length,
+  executable_name, big_endian, unix, win32, cygwin. Constants-only
+  for now; `argv`/`getenv_opt`/`command` need host platform integration.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — parse simple type sources in user type-defs
+  (+3 tests, 409 total). `ocaml-hm-parse-type-src` recognises
+  primitive type names, tyvars `'a`, and `T list`/`T option`-style
+  parametric types. Replaces the old "default to Int" placeholder so
+  `type t = TStr of string` correctly registers `TStr : string -> t`.
+  Multi-arg / function types still fall back to a fresh tv.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — String extensions: ends_with/contains/trim/
+  split_on_char/replace_all/index_of (+6 tests, 406 total). Wraps host
+  primitives via `_string_*` builtins.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — `List.take/drop/filter_map/flat_map/concat_map`
+  (+6 tests, 400 total). Common functional helpers, all written in
+  OCaml. **400-test milestone.**
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+3 — or-patterns `(P1 | P2 | ...)` parens-only
+  (+5 tests, 394 total). Parser: when `|` follows a pattern inside
+  parens, build `(:por ALT1 ALT2 ...)`. Eval: try alternatives, succeed
+  on the first match. Top-level `|` remains the clause separator (no
+  lookahead needed). Examples: `(1 | 2 | 3) -> ...`, `(Red | Green) -> 1`.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — `module type S = sig … end` parser (+3 tests,
+  389 total). Signatures are parsed-and-discarded — sig..end balanced
+  skipping. AST: `(:module-type-def NAME)`. Runtime no-op (signatures
+  are type-level). Allows real OCaml code with module type decls to
+  parse and run without removing the sig blocks.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+3 — record patterns `{ f = pat; … }` (+4 tests,
+  386 total). Parser adds `(:precord (FIELD PAT) …)` alongside
+  the existing record-literal `{` handling. Eval matches against
+  dicts: required fields must be present and each pat must match the
+  value. Can mix with literals: `{ x = 1; y = y }` matches only when
+  x is 1.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — expr_eval.ml baseline (9/9 pass). A tiny
+  arithmetic-expression evaluator using ADT (`type expr = Lit | Add |
+  Mul | Neg`) + recursive eval + pattern match — exercises the full
+  type-decl + ctor + match pipeline end-to-end. Per-program timeout
+  bumped to 120s in run.sh.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 3 — polymorphic variants `` `Tag `` (+4 tests, 382
+  total). Tokenizer recognises backtick followed by an upper ident,
+  tokenizing identically to nominal ctors. Parser and evaluator treat
+  them as ctors — same tagged-list runtime. Match patterns `` `Red ``
+  / `` `Pair (a, b) `` work without any extra wiring. Proper row
+  types in HM deferred.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — Float module: sqrt/sin/cos/pow/floor/ceil/round
+  + pi constant (+6 tests, 378 total). Wraps host SX math primitives
+  via `_float_*` builtins.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+5+6 — Float arithmetic (`+.` `-.` `*.` `/.`)
+  (+5 tests, 372 total). Tokenizer recognises the dotted operators.
+  Parser table places them at int's level (7 / 8). Eval routes them
+  to host SX `+`/`-`/`*`/`/` (which works for both ints and floats).
+  HM types them `Float -> Float -> Float`; `1.5 +. 2.5 : Float`.
+  Float type added to formatter as a plain `Float` ctor.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — List.combine/split/iter2/fold_left2/map2 (+4
+  tests, 367 total). Mechanical pair-walk OCaml implementations,
+  failwith on length-mismatch matching Stdlib semantics. List module
+  now covers 30+ functions.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — baseline expanded to 8 programs (8/8 pass).
+  Added: closures.ml (curried adders), quicksort.ml (recursive sort
+  on lists), exception_handle.ml (exception decl + raise + try/with).
+  All 8 programs together exercise let-rec, modules, refs, for-loops,
+  pattern matching, exceptions, lambdas, list functions, arithmetic.
+  Run.sh streamlined to one sx_server invocation per program (was
+  two). End-to-end runtime ≈2 min for the suite.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — `lib/ocaml/baseline/` with five sample OCaml
+  programs (.ml files), driven by `lib/ocaml/baseline/run.sh` through
+  `ocaml-run-program (file-read F)`. All 5/5 pass: factorial,
+  list_ops, option_match, module_use (module + ref + closure +
+  sequenced calls), sum_squares (for-loop). To make module_use parse,
+  parser's `skip-let-rhs-boundary!` now lookaheads for a matching `in`
+  before any decl-keyword — distinguishes nested let-in from a new
+  top-level decl. Test 274 (`let x = 1 let y = 2`) still works because
+  its body has no inner `in`.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — HM with user `type` declarations (+6 tests, 363
+  total). `ocaml-hm-ctors` is now a mutable list cell; user type-defs
+  register their constructors via `ocaml-hm-register-type-def!`. New
+  `ocaml-type-of-program` processes top-level decls in order: type-def
+  registers ctors, def/def-rec generalize, exception-def is a no-op,
+  expr returns its inferred type. Examples:
+    `type color = Red | Green | Blue;; Red : color`
+    `type shape = Circle of int | Square of int;; let area s = match s
+     with | Circle r -> r * r | Square s -> s * s;; area : shape -> Int`
+  Caveat: ctor arg types parsed as raw source strings; the registry
+  defaults to `int` for any single-arg ctor. Proper type-source parsing
+  is pending.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — HM let-rec inference + `::`/`@` operator types
+  (+6 tests, 357 total). `ocaml-infer-let-rec` pre-binds the function
+  name to a fresh tv, infers rhs (which can recursively call name),
+  unifies inferred-rhs-type with the tv, generalizes, then infers
+  body. Builtin env now types `:: : 'a -> 'a list -> 'a list` and
+  `@ : 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list`. Now `let rec fact …`,
+  `let rec map f xs = match xs with … h :: t -> f h :: map f t`, and
+  `let rec sum …` all infer correctly:
+    `fact : Int -> Int`
+    `len  : 'a list -> Int`
+    `map  : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list`
+    `sum [1;2;3] : Int`
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — HM constructor inference for option/result (+7
+  tests, 351 total). `ocaml-hm-ctor-env` registers None/Some (`'a opt`),
+  Ok/Error (`('a, 'b) result`). `:con NAME` instantiates the scheme;
+  `:pcon NAME ARG-PATS` walks arg patterns through the constructor's
+  arrow type, unifying each. Pretty-printer renders `Int option` and
+  `(Int, 'b) result`. Examples:
+    `fun x -> Some x : 'a -> 'a option`
+    `fun o -> match o with | None -> 0 | Some n -> n : Int option -> Int`
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — HM pattern-matching inference (+5 tests, 344
+  total). `ocaml-infer-pat` covers wild, var, lit, cons, list, tuple,
+  as. `ocaml-infer-match` unifies each clause's pattern type with the
+  scrutinee, runs the body in the env extended with pattern-bound vars,
+  and unifies all body types via a fresh result tv. Examples:
+  `fun lst -> match lst with | [] -> 0 | h :: _ -> h : Int list -> Int`.
+  Constructor patterns fall through to a fresh tv for now (need a ctor
+  type registry from `type` decls — pending).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — `List.sort` + polymorphic `compare` (+7 tests,
+  339 total). `compare` is a host primitive that returns -1/0/1 like
+  Stdlib.compare, defers to host SX `<`/`>`. `List.sort` is implemented
+  in OCaml as insertion sort: O(n²) but correct, and passes all tests
+  including descending custom comparator and string sort.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — `Hashtbl` (+6 tests, 332 total). Backing store is
+  a one-element list cell holding a SX dict; keys are coerced to
+  strings via `str` so any value type can serve as a key. API: create,
+  add, replace, find, find_opt, mem, length.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — HM extensions for tuples and lists (+7 tests,
+  326 total). Tuple type `(hm-con "*" TYPES)`, list type `(hm-con
+  "list" (TYPE))`. `ocaml-infer-tuple` threads substitution through
+  each item; `ocaml-infer-list` unifies all elements with a fresh
+  `'a` (giving `'a list` for `[]`). Pretty-printer renders `Int * Int`
+  and `Int list` like real OCaml. `fun x y -> (x, y) : 'a -> 'b -> 'a
+  * 'b`. `fun x -> [x; x] : 'a -> 'a list`.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — expanded stdlib slice (+15 tests, 319 total).
+  List: concat/flatten, init, find/find_opt, partition, mapi/iteri,
+  assoc/assoc_opt. Option: iter, fold, to_list. Result: get_ok,
+  get_error, map_error, to_option. Also fixed parser's
+  skip-to-boundary! to track `let..in` / `begin..end` / `struct..end`
+  / `for/while..done` nesting via a depth counter so nested let
+  expressions inside top-level decl bodies don't trip over the
+  decl-boundary detector. Stdlib functions like `init` use `begin..end`
+  to make nested-let intent explicit.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 3 — `exception` declarations (+4 tests, 304 total).
+  `exception NAME [of TYPE]` parses to `(:exception-def NAME [ARG-SRC])`.
+  Runtime is a no-op: exception values are just tagged ctor values, so
+  the existing `raise`/`try`/`with` machinery works without any extra
+  wiring.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 3 — `type` declarations (+5 tests, 300 total). Parser
+  handles `type [PARAMS] NAME = | Ctor [of T1 [* T2]*] | ...`, with
+  optional `'a` or `('a, 'b)` type parameters. Argument types are
+  captured as raw source strings (treated opaquely at runtime). Runtime
+  is a no-op since ctor application + match already work dynamically.
+  300th test! Constructors `Red`/`Green`/`Blue` and `Circle of int` /
+  `Square of int` round-trip through parse + eval cleanly.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 3 — `as` aliases + `when` guards in match (+6 tests,
+  295 total). Parser: pattern parser wraps with `as ident` → `(:pas
+  PAT NAME)`. Match's `one` consumes optional `when GUARD-EXPR` → emits
+  `(:case-when PAT GUARD BODY)` instead of `:case`. Eval `:pas` matches
+  inner pattern then also binds the alias name; `case-when` checks the
+  guard after a successful match and falls through if false. Or-pat
+  `(P1 | P2)` deferred — ambiguous with clause separator without
+  parens-only support.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1+2 — record literals `{ x = 1; y = 2 }` and
+  functional update `{ r with x = 99 }`. Parser produces `(:record (F E)
+  ...)` and `(:record-update BASE-EXPR (F E) ...)`. Eval builds a dict
+  from field bindings; record-update merges over the base dict (the same
+  dict-based representation we already use for modules). Field access
+  via existing `:field` postfix. Record patterns deferred. 289/289 (+6).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5.1 — `lib/ocaml/conformance.sh` + `scoreboard.json`
+  + `scoreboard.md`. Classifies tests into 14 suites by description
+  prefix and emits structured pass/fail counts. Current: 284 pass / 0
+  fail (one test counted twice in classifier, hence 284 vs 283
+  underlying). Vendoring real OCaml testsuite is the next step but
+  needs more stdlib coverage to make .ml files runnable end-to-end.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 1 — unit `()` and wildcard `_` parameters in `let f ()
+  = …` / `fun _ -> …` / `let f _ = …`. Parser helper `try-consume-param!`
+  now handles ident, wildcard `_` (renamed to `__wild_N`), unit `()`
+  (renamed to `__unit_N`), and typed `(x : T)` (signature skipped).
+  Same for top-level `parse-decl-let`. test.sh timeout extended from
+  60s to 180s for the growing suite. 283/283 (+5).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — extended stdlib slice (+13 tests, 278 total).
+  Host primitives exposed via `_string_*`, `_char_*`, `_int_*`,
+  `_string_of_*` underscore-prefixed builtins so the OCaml-side
+  `lib/ocaml/runtime.sx` modules can wrap them: String (length, get,
+  sub, concat, uppercase_ascii, lowercase_ascii, starts_with), Char
+  (code, chr, lowercase_ascii, uppercase_ascii), Int (to_string,
+  of_string, abs, max, min), Float.to_string, Printf stubs. Also added
+  `print_string`/`print_endline`/`print_int` builtins.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 5 — Hindley-Milner type inference, paired-sequencing
+  consumer of `lib/guest/hm.sx` (algebra) and `lib/guest/match.sx`
+  (unify). `lib/ocaml/infer.sx` ships Algorithm W rules for OCaml AST:
+  atoms, var (instantiate), fun (auto-curry through fresh-tv), app
+  (unify against arrow), let (generalize over rhs), if (unify branches),
+  neg/not, op (treat as app of builtin). Builtin env types `+`/`-`/etc.
+  as monomorphic int->int->int and `=`/`<>` as polymorphic 'a->'a->bool.
+  Tested: literals, +1, identity polymorphism `'a -> 'a`, let-poly so
+  `let id = fun x -> x in id true : Bool`, `twice` infers
+  `('a -> 'a) -> 'a -> 'a`. Mandate satisfied: OCaml-on-SX is the
+  deferred second consumer for lib-guest Step 8. 265/265 (+14).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2 — `let ... and ...` mutual recursion at top level.
+  Parser collects all bindings into a list, emitting `(:def-rec-mut)` or
+  `(:def-mut)` when there are 2+. Eval allocates a placeholder cell per
+  recursive binding, builds an env with all of them visible, then fills
+  the cells. Even/odd mutual-recursion test passes. 251/251 (+3).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 6 — `lib/ocaml/runtime.sx` minimal stdlib slice
+  written entirely in OCaml syntax: List (length, rev, rev_append, map,
+  filter, fold_left/right, append, iter, mem, for_all, exists, hd, tl,
+  nth), Option (map, bind, value, get, is_none, is_some), Result (map,
+  bind, is_ok, is_error). Loaded once via `ocaml-load-stdlib!`, cached
+  in `ocaml-stdlib-env`; `ocaml-run` and `ocaml-run-program` layer user
+  code on top via `ocaml-base-env`. The fact that these are written in
+  OCaml (not SX) and parse + evaluate cleanly is a substrate-validation
+  win: every parser, eval, match, ref, and module path proven by a
+  single nontrivial Ocaml program. 248/248 (+23).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — functors + module aliases (+5 tests, 225 total).
+  Parser: `module F (M) = struct DECLS end` → `(:functor-def NAME PARAMS
+  DECLS)`. `module N = expr` (where expr isn't `struct`) → `(:module-alias
+  NAME BODY-SRC)`. Functor params accept `(P)` or `(P : Sig)` (signatures
+  parsed-and-skipped). Eval: `ocaml-make-functor` builds a curried
+  host-SX closure that takes module dicts and returns a module dict;
+  `ocaml-resolve-module-path` extended for `:app` so `F(A)`, `F(A)(B)`,
+  `Outer.Inner` all resolve to dicts. Tested: 1-arg functor, 2-arg
+  curried `Pair(One)(Two)`, module alias, submodule alias, identity
+  functor with include. Phase 4 LOC ~290 (still well under 2000).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — `open M` / `include M` (+5 tests, 220 total).
+  Parser: top-level `open Path` / `include Path` decls; path is `Ctor (.
+  Ctor)*`. Eval resolves the path via `ocaml-resolve-module-path` (the
+  same `:con`-as-module-lookup escape hatch used for `:field`); merges
+  the dict bindings into the current env via `ocaml-env-merge-dict`.
+  `include` inside a module also adds the bindings to the module's
+  resulting dict, so `module Sphere = struct include Math let area r =
+  ... end` exposes both Math's `pi` and Sphere's `area`. Phase 4 LOC
+  cumulative: ~165.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 4 — modules + field access (+11 tests, 215 total). Parser:
+  `module M = struct DECLS end` decl in `ocaml-parse-program`. Body parsed
+  by sub-tokenising the source between `struct` and the matching `end`,
+  tracking nesting via `struct`/`begin`/`sig`/`end`. Field access added
+  as a postfix layer above `parse-atom`, binding tighter than application:
+  `f r.x` → `(:app f (:field r "x"))`. Eval: `(:module-def NAME DECLS)`
+  builds a dict via new `ocaml-eval-module` that runs decls in a sub-env;
+  `(:field EXPR NAME)` looks up the field, with the special case that
+  `(:con NAME)` heads are interpreted as module-name lookups instead of
+  nullary ctors. Tested: simple module, multi-decl module, nested modules
+  (`Outer.Inner.v`), `let rec` inside a module, module containing tuple
+  pattern match. Phase 4 LOC: ~110 (well under 2000 budget).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2 — `try`/`with` + `raise` builtin. Parser produces
+  `(:try EXPR CLAUSES)`; eval delegates to SX `guard` with `else`
+  matching the raised value against clause patterns and re-raising on
+  no-match. `raise`/`failwith`/`invalid_arg` exposed as builtins;
+  failwith builds `("Failure" msg)` so `Failure msg -> ...` patterns
+  match. 204/204 (+6).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2 — `function | pat -> body | …` parser + eval.
+  Sugar for `fun x -> match x with | …`. AST: `(:function CLAUSES)`
+  evaluated to a unary closure that runs `ocaml-match-clauses` on the
+  argument. `let rec` knot also triggers when rhs is `:function`, so
+  `let rec map f = function | [] -> [] | h::t -> f h :: map f t` works.
+  ocaml-match-eval refactored to share `ocaml-match-clauses` with the
+  function form. 198/198 (+4).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2 — `for`/`while` loops. `(:for NAME LO HI DIR BODY)`
+  with `:ascend`/`:descend` direction (`to`/`downto`); `(:while COND BODY)`.
+  Both eval to unit and re-bind the loop var per iteration. 194/194 (+5).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2 — references (`ref`/`!`/`:=`). `ref` is a builtin
+  that boxes its argument in a one-element list (the mutable cell);
+  prefix `!` parses to `(:deref EXPR)` and reads `(nth cell 0)`; `:=`
+  joins the precedence table at the lowest binop level (right-assoc) and
+  short-circuits in eval to mutate via `set-nth!`. Closures capture refs
+  by sharing the underlying list. 189/189 (+6).
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 3 — pattern matching evaluator + constructors (+18
+  tests, 183 total). Constructor application: `(:app (:con NAME) arg)`
+  builds a tagged list `(NAME …args)` with tuple args flattened (so
+  `Pair (a, b)` → `("Pair" a b)` matches the parser's pattern flatten).
+  Standalone ctor `(:con NAME)` → `(NAME)` (nullary). Pattern matcher:
+  :pwild / :pvar / :plit (unboxed compare) / :pcon (head + arity match) /
+  :pcons (cons-decompose) / :plist (length+items) / :ptuple (after `tuple`
+  tag). Match drives clauses until first success; runtime error on
+  exhaustion. Tested with option match, literal match, tuple match,
+  recursive list functions (`len`, `sum`), nested ctor (`Pair(a,b)`).
+  Note: arity flattening happens for any tuple-arg ctor — without ADT
+  declarations there's no way to distinguish `Some (1,2)` (single tuple
+  payload) from `Pair (1,2)` (two-arg ctor). All-flatten convention is
+  consistent across parser + evaluator.
+- 2026-05-08 Phase 2 — `lib/ocaml/eval.sx`: ocaml-eval + ocaml-run +
+  ocaml-run-program. Coverage: atoms, var lookup, :app (curried),
+  :op (arithmetic/comparison/boolean/^/mod/::/|>), :neg, :not, :if,
+  :seq, :tuple, :list, :fun (auto-curried host-SX closures), :let,
+  :let-rec (recursive knot via one-element-list mutable cell). Initial
+  env exposes `not`/`succ`/`pred`/`abs`/`max`/`min`/`fst`/`snd`/`ignore`
+  as host-SX functions. Tests: literals, arithmetic, comparison, boolean,
+  string concat, conditionals, lambda + closures + recursion (fact 5,
+  fib 10, sum 100), sequences, top-level program decls, |> pipe. 165/165
+  passing (+42).
+- 2026-05-07 Phase 1 — sequence operator `;`. Lowest-precedence binary;
+  `e1; e2; e3` → `(:seq e1 e2 e3)`. Two-phase grammar: `parse-expr-no-seq`
+  is the prior expression entry point; new `parse-expr` wraps it with
+  `;` chaining. List-literal items still use `parse-expr-no-seq` so `;`
+  retains its separator role inside `[…]`. Match-clause bodies use the
+  seq variant and stop at `|`, matching real OCaml semantics. Trailing `;`
+  before `end`/`)`/`|`/`in`/`then`/`else`/eof is permitted. 123/123 tests
+  passing (+10).
+- 2026-05-07 Phase 1 — `match`/`with` + pattern parser. Patterns: wildcard,
+  literal, var, ctor (nullary + with arg, with tuple-arg flattening so
+  `Pair (a, b)` → `(:pcon "Pair" PA PB)`), tuple, list literal, cons `::`
+  (right-assoc), parens, unit. Match clauses: leading `|` optional, body
+  parsed via `parse-expr`. AST: `(:match SCRUT CLAUSES)` where each clause
+  is `(:case PAT BODY)`. 113/113 tests passing (+9). Note: parse-expr is
+  used for case bodies, so a trailing `| pat -> body` after a complex body
+  will be reached because `|` is not in the binop table for level 1.
+- 2026-05-07 Phase 1 — top-level program parser `ocaml-parse-program`. Parses
+  a sequence of `let [rec] name params* = expr` decls and bare expressions
+  separated by `;;`. Output `(:program DECLS)` with each decl one of `(:def …)`,
+  `(:def-rec …)`, `(:expr E)`. Decl bodies parsed by re-feeding the source
+  slice through `ocaml-parse` (cheap stand-in until shared-state refactor).
+  104/104 tests now passing (+9).
+- 2026-05-07 Phase 1 — `lib/ocaml/parser.sx` expression parser consuming
+  `lib/guest/pratt.sx` for binop precedence (29 operators across 8 levels,
+  incl. keyword-spelled binops `mod`/`land`/`lor`/`lxor`/`lsl`/`lsr`/`asr`).
+  Atoms (literals + var/con/unit/list), application (left-assoc), prefix
+  `-`/`not`, tuples, parens, `if`/`then`/`else`, `fun x y -> body`,
+  `let`/`let rec` with function shorthand. AST shapes match Haskell-on-SX
+  conventions (`(:int N)` `(:op OP L R)` `(:fun PARAMS BODY)` etc.). Total
+  95/95 tests now passing via `lib/ocaml/test.sh`.
+- 2026-05-07 Phase 1 — `lib/ocaml/tokenizer.sx` consuming `lib/guest/lex.sx`
+  via `prefix-rename`. Covers idents, ctors, 51 keywords, numbers (int / float
+  / hex / exponent / underscored), strings (with escapes), chars (with escapes),
+  type variables (`'a`), nested block comments, and 26 operator/punct tokens
+  (incl. `->` `|>` `<-` `:=` `::` `;;` `@@` `<>` `&&` `||` `**` etc.). 58/58
+  tokenizer tests pass via `lib/ocaml/test.sh` driving `sx_server.exe`.
