- [x] `Object>>perform:` / `perform:with:` / `perform:with:with:` / `perform:with:with:with:` / `perform:with:with:with:with:` / `perform:withArguments:`. Universal in `st-primitive-send`; routes back through `st-send` so user methods, primitives, super, and DNU all still apply. Selector arg can be a symbol or string (we `str` it). 10 new tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/reflection.sx`.
- [x] `Object>>respondsTo:`, `Object>>isKindOf:`, `Object>>isMemberOf:`. Universal in `st-primitive-send`. `respondsTo:` searches user method dicts (instance- or class-side based on receiver kind); native primitive selectors aren't enumerated, documented limitation. `isKindOf:` walks `st-class-inherits-from?`; `isMemberOf:` is exact class equality. 26 new tests in `reflection.sx`.
- [x] `Behavior>>compile:` — runtime method addition. Class-side `compile:` parses the source via `st-parse-method` and installs via `st-class-add-method!`. Sister forms `compile:classified:` and `compile:notifying:` ignore the extra arg (Pharo-tolerant). Returns the selector as a symbol. Also added `addSelector:withMethod:` (raw AST install) and `removeSelector:`. 9 new tests in `reflection.sx`.
- [ ] `Object>>becomeForward:` (one-way become; rewrites the class field of `aReceiver`)
- [x] `Object>>becomeForward:` — one-way become at the universal `st-primitive-send` layer. Mutates the receiver's `:class` and `:ivars` to match the target via `dict-set!`; every existing reference to the receiver dict now behaves as the target. Receiver and target remain distinct dicts (no SX-level identity merge), but method dispatch, ivar reads, and aliases all switch — Pharo's practical guarantee. 6 tests in `reflection.sx`, including the alias case (`a` and `alias := a` both see the new identity).
- [ ] Exceptions: `Exception`, `Error`, `signal`, `signal:`, `on:do:`, `ensure:`, `ifCurtailed:` — built on top of SX `handler-bind`/`raise`
