+## Notes
+
+- The spec interpreter is correct but slow (call/cc + dict-based ivars per send).
+- Larger Life multi-step verification, the 8-queens canonical case, and the glider-gun pattern are deferred to the JIT path.
+- Generated by `bash lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh`. Both files are committed; the runner overwrites them on each run.

-
-## APL-specific gotchas
-
-- **Right-to-left, no precedence among functions.** `2 × 3 + 4` is `2 × (3 + 4)` = 14, not 10. Operators bind tighter than functions: `+/ ⍳5` is `+/(⍳5)`, and `2 +.× 3 4` is `2 (+.×) 3 4`.
-- **Valence by position.** `-3` is monadic negate (`-` with no left arg). `5-3` is dyadic subtract. The parser must look left to decide. Same glyph; different fn.
-- **`¯` is part of a number literal**, not a prefix function. `¯3` is the literal negative three; `-3` is the function call. Tokenizer eats `¯` into the numeric token.
-- **Strands.** `1 2 3` is a 3-element vector, not three separate calls. Adjacent literals fuse into a strand at parse time. Adjacent names do *not* fuse — `a b c` is three separate references.
-- **Scalar promotion.** `1 + 2 3 4` ↦ `3 4 5`. Any scalar broadcasts against any-rank conformable shape.
-- **Conformability** = exactly matching shapes, OR one side scalar, OR (in some dialects) one side rank-1 cycling against rank-N. Keep strict in v1: matching shape or scalar only.
-- **`⍳` is overloaded.** Monadic `⍳N` = vector 1..N (or 0..N-1 if `⎕IO=0`). Dyadic `V ⍳ W` = first-index lookup, returns `≢V+1` for not-found.
-- **Reduce with `+/⍳0`** = `0` (identity for `+`). Each scalar primitive has a defined identity used by reduce-on-empty. Don't crash; return identity.
-- **Reduce direction.** `f/` reduces the *last* axis. `f⌿` reduces the *first*. Matters for matrices.
-- **Indexing is 1-based** by default (`⎕IO=1`). Do not silently translate to 0-based; respect `⎕IO`.
-- **Bracket indexing** `A[I]` is sugar for `I⌷A` (squad-quad). Multi-axis: `A[I;J]` is `I J⌷A` with semicolon-separated axes; `A[;J]` selects all of axis 0.
-- **Dfn `{...}`** — `⍺` = left arg (may be unbound for monadic call → check with `⍺←default`), `⍵` = right arg, `∇` = recurse. Default left arg syntax: `⍺←0`.
-- **Tradfn vs dfn** — tradfns use line-numbered `→linenum` for goto; dfns use guards `cond:expr`. Pick the right one for the user's syntax.
-- **Empty array** = rank-N array where some dim is 0. `0⍴⍳0` is empty rank-1. Scalar prototype matters for empty-array operations; ignore in v1, return 0/space.
-- **Test corpus:** custom + idioms. Place programs in `lib/apl/tests/programs/` with `.apl` extension.

-## Common-Lisp-specific gotchas
-
-- **`handler-bind` is non-unwinding** — handlers can decline by returning normally, in which case `signal` keeps walking the chain. **`handler-case` is unwinding** — picking a handler aborts the protected form via a captured continuation. Don't conflate them.
-- **Restarts are not handlers.** `restart-case` establishes named *resumption points*; `signal` runs handler code with restarts visible; the handler chooses a restart by calling `invoke-restart`, which abandons handler stack and resumes at the restart point. Two stacks: handlers walk down, restarts wait to be invoked.
-- **`block` / `return-from`** is lexical. `block name … (return-from name v) …` captures `^k` once at entry; `return-from` invokes it. `return-from` to a name not in scope is an error (don't fall back to outer block).
-- **`tagbody` / `go`** — each tag in tagbody is a continuation; `go tag` invokes it. Tags are lexical, can only target tagbodies in scope.
-- **`unwind-protect`** runs cleanup on *any* non-local exit (return-from, throw, condition unwind). Implement as a scope frame fired by the cleanup machinery.
-- **Multiple values**: primary-value-only contexts (function args, `if` test, etc.) drop extras silently. `values` produces multiple. `multiple-value-bind` / `multiple-value-call` consume them. Don't auto-list.
-- **CLOS dispatch:** sort applicable methods by argument-list specificity (`subclassp` per arg, left-to-right); standard method combination calls primary methods most-specific-first via `call-next-method` chain. `:before` runs all before primaries; `:after` runs all after, in reverse-specificity. `:around` wraps everything.
-- **`call-next-method`** is a *continuation* available only inside a method body. Implement as a thunk stored in a dynamic-extent variable.
-- **Generalised reference (`setf`)**: `(setf (foo x) v)` ↦ `(setf-foo v x)`. Look up the setf-expander, not just a writer fn. `define-setf-expander` is mandatory for non-trivial places. Start with the symbolic / list / aref / slot-value cases.
-- **Dynamic variables (specials):** `defvar`/`defparameter` mark a symbol as special. `let` over a special name *rebinds* in dynamic extent (use parameterize-style scope), not lexical.
-- **Symbols are package-qualified.** Reader resolves `cl:car`, `mypkg::internal`, bare `foo` (current package). Internal vs external matters for `:` (one colon) reads.
-- **`nil` is also `()` is also the empty list.** Same object. `nil` is also false. CL has no distinct unit value.
-- **LOOP macro is huge.** Build incrementally — start with `for/in`, `for/from`, `collect`, `sum`, `count`, `repeat`. Add conditional clauses (`when`, `if`, `else`) once iteration drivers stable. `named` blocks + `return-from named` last.
-- **Test corpus:** custom + curated `ansi-test` slice. Place programs in `lib/common-lisp/tests/programs/` with `.lisp` extension.

-# SX Primitives — Meta-Loop Briefing
-
-Goal: add fundamental missing SX primitives in sequence, then sweep all language
-implementations to replace their workarounds. Full rationale: vectors fix O(n) array
-access across every language; numeric tower fixes float/int conflation; dynamic-wind
-fixes cleanup semantics; coroutine primitive unifies Ruby/Lua/Tcl; string buffer fixes
-O(n²) concat; algebraic data types eliminate the tagged-dict pattern everywhere.
-
-**Each fire: find the first unchecked `[ ]`, do it, commit, tick it, stop.**
-Sub-items within a Phase may span multiple fires — just commit progress and tick what's done.

-- [x] Stop new-language loops: send `/exit` to sx-loops windows for the four blank-slate
-      languages that haven't committed workarounds yet:
-      ```
-      tmux send-keys -t sx-loops:common-lisp "/exit" Enter
-      tmux send-keys -t sx-loops:apl          "/exit" Enter

-      tmux send-keys -t sx-loops:tcl          "/exit" Enter
-      ```
-      Verify all four windows are idle (claude prompt, no active task).
-
-- [x] E38 + E39 landed: check both Bucket-E branches for implementation commits.
-      ```
-      git log --oneline hs-e38-sourceinfo | head -5
-      git log --oneline hs-e39-webworker  | head -5
-      ```
-      If either branch has only its base commit (no impl work yet): note "pending" and stop —
-      next fire re-checks. Proceed only when both have at least one implementation commit.

-## Phase 1 — Vectors
-
-Native mutable integer-indexed arrays. Fix: Lua O(n) sort, APL rank polymorphism, Ruby
-Array, Tcl lists, Common Lisp vectors, all using string-keyed dicts today.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `make-vector` `n` `[fill]` → vector of length n
-- `vector?` `v` → bool
-- `vector-ref` `v` `i` → element at index i (0-based)
-- `vector-set!` `v` `i` `x` → mutate in place
-- `vector-length` `v` → integer
-- `vector->list` `v` → list
-- `list->vector` `lst` → vector
-- `vector-fill!` `v` `x` → fill all elements
-- `vector-copy` `v` `[start]` `[end]` → fresh copy of slice
-
-Steps:
-- [x] OCaml: add `SxVector of value array` to `hosts/ocaml/sx_types.ml`; implement all
-      primitives in `hosts/ocaml/sx_primitives.ml` (or equivalent); wire into evaluator.
-      Note: Vector type + most prims were already present; added bounds-checked vector-ref/set!
-      and optional start/end to vector-copy. 10/10 vector tests pass (r7rs suite).
-- [x] Spec: add vector entries to `spec/primitives.sx` with type signatures and descriptions.
-      All 10 vector primitives now have :as type annotations, :returns, and :doc strings.
-      make-vector: optional fill param; vector-copy: optional start/end (done prev step).
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement vectors in `hosts/javascript/platform.js` (or equivalent);
-      ensure `sx-browser.js` rebuild picks them up.
-      Fixed index-of for lists (was returning -1 not NIL, breaking bind-lambda-params),
-      added _lastErrorKont_/hostError/try-catch/without-io-hook stubs. Vectors work.
-- [x] Tests: 40+ tests in `spec/tests/test-vectors.sx` covering construction, ref, set!,
-      length, conversions, fill, copy, bounds behaviour.
-      42 tests, all pass. 1847 standard / 2362 full passing (up from 5).
-- [x] Verify: full test suite still passes (`node hosts/javascript/run_tests.js --full`).
-      2362/4924 pass (improvement from pre-existing lambda binding bug, no regressions).
-- [x] Commit: `spec: vector primitive (make-vector/vector-ref/vector-set!/etc)`
-      Committed as: js: fix lambda binding (index-of on lists), add vectors + R7RS platform stubs

-## Phase 2 — Numeric tower
-
-Float ≠ integer distinction. Fix: Erlang `=:=`, Lua `math.type()`, Haskell `Num`/`Integral`,
-Common Lisp `integerp`/`floatp`/`ratio`, JS `Number.isInteger`.
-
-Changes:
-- `parse-number` preserves float identity: `"1.0"` → float 1.0, not integer 1
-- New predicates: `integer?`, `float?`, `exact?`, `inexact?`
-- New coercions: `exact->inexact`, `inexact->exact`
-- Fix `floor`/`ceiling`/`truncate`/`round` to return integers when applied to floats
-- `number->string` renders `1.0` as `"1.0"`, `1` as `"1"`
-- Arithmetic: `(+ 1 1.0)` → `2.0` (float contagion), `(+ 1 1)` → `2` (integer)
-
-Steps:
-- [x] OCaml: distinguish `Integer of int` / `Number of float` in `sx_types.ml`; update all
-      arithmetic primitives for float contagion; fix `parse-number`.
-      92/92 numeric tower tests pass; 4874 total (394 pre-existing hs-upstream fails unchanged).
-- [x] Spec: update `spec/primitives.sx` with new predicates + coercions; document contagion rules.
-      Added integer?/float? predicates; updated number? body; / returns "float"; floor/ceil/truncate
-      return "integer"; +/-/* doc float contagion; fixed double-paren params; 4874/394 baseline.
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: update number representation and arithmetic.
-      Added integer?/float?/exact?/inexact?/truncate/remainder/modulo/random-int/exact->inexact/
-      inexact->exact/parse-number. Fixed sx_server.ml epoch protocol for Integer type.
-      JS: 1940 passed (+60); OCaml: 4874/394 unchanged. 6 tests JS-only fail (float≡int limitation).
-- [x] Tests: 92 tests in `spec/tests/test-numeric-tower.sx` — int-arithmetic, float-contagion,
-      division, predicates, coercions, rounding, parse-number, equality, modulo, min-max, stringify.
-- [x] Verify: full suite passes. OCaml 4874/394 (baseline unchanged). JS 1940/2500 (+60 vs pre-tower).
-      No regressions on any test that relied on `1.0 = 1` — those tests were already using integer
-      literals which remain identical in JS. 6 JS-only failures are platform-inherent (JS float≡int).
-- [x] Commit: all work landed across 4 commits (c70bbdeb, 45ec5535, b12a22e6, f5acb31c).

-## Phase 3 — Dynamic-wind
-
-Fix: Common Lisp `unwind-protect`, Ruby `ensure`, JS `finally`, Tcl `catch`+cleanup,
-Erlang `try...after` (currently uses double-nested guard workaround).
-
-- [x] Spec: implement `dynamic-wind` in `spec/evaluator.sx` such that the after-thunk fires
-      on both normal return AND non-local exit (raise/call-cc escape). Must compose with
-      `guard` — currently they don't interact.
-- [x] OCaml: wire `dynamic-wind` through the CEK machine with a `WindFrame` continuation.
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: update.
-- [x] Tests: 20+ tests covering normal return, raise, call/cc escape, nested dynamic-winds.
-- [x] Commit: `spec: dynamic-wind + guard integration`
-
----
-
-## Phase 4 — Coroutine primitive
-
-Unify Ruby fibers, Lua coroutines, Tcl coroutines — all currently reimplemented separately
-using call/cc+perform/resume.
-
-- [x] Spec: add `make-coroutine`, `coroutine-resume`, `coroutine-yield`, `coroutine?`,
-      `coroutine-alive?` to `spec/primitives.sx`. Build on existing `perform`/`cek-resume`
-      machinery — coroutines ARE perform/resume with a stable identity.
-      Implemented as `spec/coroutines.sx` define-library; `make-coroutine` stub in evaluator.sx.
-      17/17 coroutine tests pass (OCaml). Drives iteration via define+fn recursion (not named let —
-      named let uses cek_call→cek_run which errors on IO suspension).
-- [x] OCaml: implement coroutine type; wire resume/yield through CEK suspension.
-      No new native type needed — dict-based coroutine identity + existing cek-step-loop/
-      cek-resume/perform primitives in run_tests.ml ARE the OCaml implementation. 17/17 pass.
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: update.
-      All CEK primitives already in sx-browser.js. Fix: pre-load spec/coroutines.sx +
-      spec/signals.sx in run_tests.js so (import (sx coroutines)) resolves without suspension.
-      17/17 pass in JS. 1965/2500 (+25 vs 1940 baseline). Zero new failures.
-- [x] Tests: 25+ tests — multi-yield, final return, arg passthrough, alive? predicate,
-      nested coroutines, "final return vs yield" distinction (the Lua gotcha).
-      27 tests: added 10 new — state field inspection (ready/suspended/dead), yield from
-      nested helper, initial resume arg ignored, mutable closure state, complex yield values,
-      round-robin scheduling, factory-shared-no-state, non-coroutine error. 27/27 OCaml+JS.
-- [x] Commit: `spec: coroutine primitive (make-coroutine/resume/yield)`
-      Phase 4 landed across 4 commits: 21cb9cf5 (spec library), 9eb12c66 (ocaml verified),
-      b78e06a7 (js pre-load), 0ffe208e (27 tests). Phase 4 complete.

-
-## Phase 5 — String buffer
-
-Fix O(n²) string concatenation in loops across Lua, Ruby, Common Lisp, Tcl.
-
-- [x] Spec + OCaml: add `make-string-buffer`, `string-buffer-append!`, `string-buffer->string`,
-      `string-buffer-length` to primitives. OCaml: `Buffer.t` wrapper. JS: array+join.
-      Also: string-buffer? predicate; SxStringBuffer._string_buffer marker for typeOf/dict?
-      exclusion; inspect case in sx_types.ml. 17/17 tests OCaml+JS.
-- [x] Tests: 15+ tests.
-      17 tests written inline with Spec+OCaml step: construction, type-of, empty/length,
-      single/multi-append, append-returns-nil, empty-string-append, reuse-after-to-string,
-      independence, loop-building, CSV-row, unicode, repeated-to-string, join-pattern.
-      17/17 OCaml+JS.
-- [x] Commit: `spec: string-buffer primitive`
-      Committed as d98b5fa2 — all work in one commit (OCaml type + primitives + JS + spec + 17 tests).
-
----
-
-## Phase 6 — Algebraic data types
-
-The deepest structural gap. Every language uses `{:tag "..." :field ...}` tagged dicts to
-simulate sum types. A native `define-type` + `match` form eliminates this everywhere.
-
-- [x] Design: write `plans/designs/sx-adt.md` covering syntax, CEK dispatch, interaction with
-      existing `cond`/`case`, exhaustiveness checking, recursive types, pattern variables.
-      Draft, then stop — next fire reviews design before implementing.
-      Written: define-type/match syntax, AdtValue runtime rep, stepSfDefineType + MatchFrame
-      CEK dispatch, exhaustiveness warnings via _adt_registry, recursive types, nested patterns,
-      wildcard _, 3-phase impl plan (basic/nested/exhaustiveness), open questions on accessors/singletons/inspect.
-
-- [x] Spec: implement `define-type` special form in `spec/evaluator.sx`:
-      `(define-type Name (Ctor1 field...) (Ctor2 field...) ...)`
-      Creates constructor functions `Ctor1`, `Ctor2` + predicate `Name?`.
-
-- [x] Spec: implement `match` special form:
-      `(match expr ((Ctor1 a b) body) ((Ctor2 x) body) (else body))`
-      Exhaustiveness warning if not all constructors covered and no `else`.
-
-- [x] OCaml: add `SxAdt of string * value array` to types; implement constructors + match.
-      Dict-based ADT (no native type needed — matches spec). Hand-written sf_define_type
-      in bootstrap.py FIXUPS; registered via register_special_form. 172 assertions pass.
-      4280/1080 full suite (37 improvement over old baseline 4243/1117).
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: update.
-      No changes needed — define-type/match are spec-level; sx-browser.js rebuilt at 0dc7e159.
-      40/40 ADT tests pass JS. 2032/2500 total (+67 vs 1965 phase-4 baseline).
-- [x] Tests: 40+ tests in `spec/tests/test-adt.sx`.
-      40 tests written across two spec commits (6c872107+0dc7e159). All pass OCaml+JS.
-- [x] Commit: `spec: algebraic data types (define-type + match)`
-      Phase 6 landed across 5 commits: 6c872107 (define-type spec), 0dc7e159 (match spec),
-      5d1913e7 (ocaml bootstrap), f63b2147 (plan tick). JS already current.

-## Phase 7 — Bitwise operations
-
-Completely absent today. Needed by: Forth (core), APL (array masks), Erlang (bitmatch),
-JS (typed arrays, bitfields), Common Lisp (`logand`/`logior`/`logxor`/`lognot`/`ash`).
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `bitwise-and` `a` `b` → integer
-- `bitwise-or` `a` `b` → integer
-- `bitwise-xor` `a` `b` → integer
-- `bitwise-not` `a` → integer
-- `arithmetic-shift` `a` `count` → integer (left if count > 0, right if count < 0)
-- `bit-count` `a` → number of set bits (popcount)
-- `integer-length` `a` → number of bits needed to represent a
-
-Steps:
-- [x] Spec: add entries to `spec/primitives.sx` with type signatures.
-      stdlib.bitwise module with 7 entries appended to spec/primitives.sx.
-- [x] OCaml: implement in `hosts/ocaml/sx_primitives.ml` using OCaml `land`/`lor`/`lxor`/`lnot`/`lsl`/`asr`.
-      land/lor/lxor/lnot/lsl/asr in sx_primitives.ml. bit-count: Kernighan loop. integer-length: lsr loop.
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement in `hosts/javascript/platform.js` using JS `&`/`|`/`^`/`~`/`<<`/`>>`.
-      stdlib.bitwise module added to PRIMITIVES_JS_MODULES. bit-count: Hamming weight. integer-length: Math.clz32.
-- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-bitwise.sx` — basic ops, shift left/right, negative numbers, popcount.
-      26 tests, 158 assertions, all pass OCaml+JS.
-- [x] Commit: `spec: bitwise operations (bitwise-and/or/xor/not, arithmetic-shift, bit-count)`
-      Committed a8a79dc9. Phase 7 complete in single commit.
-
----
-
-## Phase 8 — Multiple values
-
-R7RS standard. Common Lisp uses them heavily; Haskell tuples map naturally; Erlang
-multi-return. Without them, every function returning two things encodes it as a list or dict.
-
-Primitives / forms to add:
-- `values` `v...` → multiple-value object
-- `call-with-values` `producer` `consumer` → applies consumer to values from producer
-- `let-values` `(((a b) expr) ...)` `body` — binding form (special form in evaluator)
-- `define-values` `(a b ...)` `expr` — top-level multi-value bind
-
-Steps:
-- [x] Spec: add `SxValues` type to evaluator; implement `values` + `call-with-values` in
-      `spec/evaluator.sx`; add `let-values` / `define-values` special forms.
-- [x] OCaml: add `SxValues of value list` to `sx_types.ml`; wire through CEK.
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement values type + forms.
-- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-values.sx` — basic producer/consumer, let-values
-      destructuring, define-values, interaction with `begin`/`do`.
-- [x] Commit: `spec: multiple values (values/call-with-values/let-values)`
-
----
-
-## Phase 9 — Promises (lazy evaluation)
-
-Critical for Haskell — lazy evaluation is so central that without it the Haskell
-implementation can't be idiomatic. Also useful for lazy lists in Common Lisp and
-lazy streams in Scheme-style code generally.
-
-Primitives / forms to add:
-- `delay` `expr` → promise (special form — expr not evaluated yet)
-- `force` `p` → evaluate promise, cache result, return it
-- `make-promise` `v` → already-forced promise wrapping v
-- `promise?` `v` → bool
-- `delay-force` `expr` → for iterative lazy sequences (avoids stack growth in lazy streams)
-
-Steps:
-- [x] Spec: add `delay` / `delay-force` special forms to `spec/evaluator.sx`; add promise
-      type with mutable forced/value slots; `force` checks if already forced before eval.
-- [x] OCaml: add `SxPromise of { mutable forced: bool; mutable value: value; thunk: value }`;
-      wire `delay`/`force`/`delay-force` through CEK.
-- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement promise type + forms.
-- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-promises.sx` — basic delay/force, memoisation
-      (forced only once), delay-force lazy stream, promise? predicate, make-promise.
-- [x] Commit: `spec: promises — delay/force/delay-force for lazy evaluation`
-
----
-
-## Phase 10 — Mutable hash tables
-
-Distinct from SX's immutable dicts. Dict primitives copy on every update — fine for
-functional code, wrong for table-heavy language implementations. Lua tables, Smalltalk
-dicts, Erlang process dictionaries, and JS Map all need O(1) mutable associative storage.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `make-hash-table` `[capacity]` → fresh mutable hash table
-- `hash-table?` `v` → bool
-- `hash-table-set!` `ht` `key` `val` → mutate in place
-- `hash-table-ref` `ht` `key` `[default]` → value or default/error
-- `hash-table-delete!` `ht` `key` → remove entry
-- `hash-table-size` `ht` → integer
-- `hash-table-keys` `ht` → list of keys
-- `hash-table-values` `ht` → list of values
-- `hash-table->alist` `ht` → list of (key . value) pairs
-- `hash-table-for-each` `ht` `fn` → iterate (fn key val) for side effects
-- `hash-table-merge!` `dst` `src` → merge src into dst in place
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: add entries to `spec/primitives.sx`.
-- [ ] OCaml: add `SxHashTable of (value, value) Hashtbl.t` to `sx_types.ml`; implement
-      all primitives in `hosts/ocaml/sx_primitives.ml`.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement using JS `Map` in `hosts/javascript/platform.js`.
-- [ ] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-hash-table.sx` — set/ref/delete, size, iteration,
-      default on missing key, merge, keys/values lists.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: mutable hash tables (make-hash-table/ref/set!/delete!/etc)`
-
----
-
-## Phase 11 — Sequence protocol
-
-Unified iteration over lists and vectors without conversion. Currently `map`/`filter`/
-`for-each` only work on lists — you must `vector->list` first, which defeats the purpose
-of vectors. A sequence protocol makes all collection operations polymorphic.
-
-Approach: extend existing `map`/`filter`/`reduce`/`for-each`/`some`/`every?` to dispatch
-on type (list → existing path, vector → index loop, string → char iteration). Add:
-- `in-range` `start` `[end]` `[step]` → lazy range sequence (works with `for-each`/`map`)
-- `sequence->list` `s` → coerce any sequence to list
-- `sequence->vector` `s` → coerce any sequence to vector
-- `sequence-length` `s` → length of any sequence
-- `sequence-ref` `s` `i` → element by index (lists and vectors)
-- `sequence-append` `s1` `s2` → concatenate two same-type sequences
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: extend `map`/`filter`/`reduce`/`for-each`/`some`/`every?` in `spec/evaluator.sx`
-      to type-dispatch; add `in-range` lazy sequence type + helpers.
-- [ ] OCaml: update HO form dispatch; add `SxRange` or use lazy list; implement `sequence-*`
-      primitives.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: update.
-- [ ] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-sequences.sx` — map over vector, filter over
-      range, for-each over string chars, sequence-append, sequence->list/vector coercions.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: sequence protocol — polymorphic map/filter/for-each over list/vector/range`
-
----
-
-## Phase 12 — gensym + symbol interning
-
-Unique symbol generation. Tiny to implement; broadly needed: Prolog uses it for fresh
-variable names, Common Lisp uses it constantly in macros, any hygienic macro system needs
-it, and Smalltalk uses it for anonymous class/method naming.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `gensym` `[prefix]` → unique symbol, e.g. `g42`, `var-17`. Counter-based, monotonically increasing.
-- `symbol-interned?` `s` → bool — whether the symbol is in the global intern table
-- `intern` `str` → symbol — intern a string as a symbol (string->symbol already exists; this is
-  the explicit interning operation for languages that distinguish interned vs uninterned)
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: add `gensym` counter to evaluator state; implement in `spec/evaluator.sx`.
-      `string->symbol` already exists — `gensym` is just a counter-suffixed variant.
-- [ ] OCaml: add global gensym counter; implement primitives.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement.
-- [ ] Tests: 15+ tests in `spec/tests/test-gensym.sx` — uniqueness, prefix, symbol?, string->symbol round-trip.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: gensym + symbol interning`
-
----
-
-## Phase 13 — Character type
-
-Common Lisp and Haskell have a distinct `Char` type that is not a string. Without it both
-implementations are approximations — CL's `#\a` literal and Haskell's `'a'` both need a
-real char value, not a length-1 string.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `char?` `v` → bool
-- `char->integer` `c` → Unicode codepoint integer
-- `integer->char` `n` → char
-- `char=?` `char<?` `char>?` `char<=?` `char>=?` → comparators
-- `char-ci=?` `char-ci<?` etc. → case-insensitive comparators
-- `char-alphabetic?` `char-numeric?` `char-whitespace?` → predicates
-- `char-upper-case?` `char-lower-case?` → predicates
-- `char-upcase` `char-downcase` → char → char
-- `string->list` extended to return chars (not length-1 strings)
-- `list->string` accepting chars
-
-Also: `#\a` reader syntax for char literals (parser addition).
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: add `SxChar` type to evaluator; add char literal syntax `#\a`/`#\space`/`#\newline`
-      to `spec/parser.sx`; implement all predicates + comparators.
-- [ ] OCaml: add `SxChar of char` to `sx_types.ml`; implement primitives.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement char type wrapping a codepoint integer.
-- [ ] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-chars.sx` — literals, char->integer round-trip,
-      comparators, predicates, upcase/downcase, string<->list with chars.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: character type (char? char->integer #\\a literals + predicates)`
-
----
-
-## Phase 14 — String ports
-
-Needed for any language with a reader protocol: Common Lisp's `read`, Prolog's term parser,
-Smalltalk's `printString`. Without string ports these all do their own character walking
-on raw strings rather than treating a string as an I/O stream.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `open-input-string` `str` → input port
-- `open-output-string` → output port
-- `get-output-string` `port` → string (flush output port to string)
-- `input-port?` `output-port?` `port?` → predicates
-- `read-char` `[port]` → char or eof-object
-- `peek-char` `[port]` → char or eof-object (non-consuming)
-- `read-line` `[port]` → string or eof-object
-- `write-char` `char` `[port]` → void
-- `write-string` `str` `[port]` → void
-- `eof-object` → the eof sentinel
-- `eof-object?` `v` → bool
-- `close-port` `port` → void
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: add port type + eof-object to evaluator; implement all primitives.
-      Ports are mutable objects with a position cursor (input) or accumulation buffer (output).
-- [ ] OCaml: add `SxPort` variant covering string-input-port and string-output-port;
-      Buffer.t for output, string+offset for input.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement port type.
-- [ ] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-ports.sx` — open/read/peek/eof, output accumulation,
-      read-line, write-char, close.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: string ports (open-input-string/open-output-string/read-char/etc)`

-## Phase 15 — Math completeness
-
-Filling specific gaps that multiple language implementations need.
-
-### 15a — modulo / remainder / quotient distinction
-They differ on negative numbers — critical for Erlang `rem`, Haskell `mod`/`rem`, CL `mod`/`rem`:
-- `quotient` `a` `b` → truncate toward zero (same sign as dividend)
-- `remainder` `a` `b` → sign follows dividend (truncation division)
-- `modulo` `a` `b` → sign follows divisor (floor division) — R7RS
-
-### 15b — Trigonometry and transcendentals
-Lua, Haskell, Erlang, CL all need: `sin`, `cos`, `tan`, `asin`, `acos`, `atan`, `exp`,
-`log`, `sqrt`, `expt`. Check which are already present; add missing ones.
-
-### 15c — GCD / LCM
-`gcd` `a` `b` → greatest common divisor; `lcm` `a` `b` → least common multiple.
-Needed by Haskell `Rational`, CL, and any language doing fraction arithmetic.
-
-### 15d — Radix number parsing / formatting
-`(number->string n radix)` → e.g. `(number->string 255 16)` → `"ff"`.
-`(string->number s radix)` → e.g. `(string->number "ff" 16)` → `255`.
-Needed by: Common Lisp, Smalltalk, Erlang integer formatting.
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Audit which trig / math functions are already in `spec/primitives.sx`; note gaps.
-- [ ] Spec + OCaml + JS: implement missing trig (`sin`/`cos`/`tan`/`asin`/`acos`/`atan`/`exp`/`log`).
-- [ ] Spec + OCaml + JS: `quotient`/`remainder`/`modulo` with correct negative semantics.
-- [ ] Spec + OCaml + JS: `gcd`/`lcm`.
-- [ ] Spec + OCaml + JS: radix variants of `number->string`/`string->number`.
-- [ ] Tests: 40+ tests in `spec/tests/test-math.sx`.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: math completeness — trig, quotient/remainder/modulo, gcd/lcm, radix`

-## Phase 16 — Rational numbers
-
-Haskell's `Rational` type and Common Lisp ratios (`1/3`) both need this. Natural extension
-of the numeric tower (Phase 2) — rationals are the third numeric type alongside int and float.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `make-rational` `numerator` `denominator` → rational (auto-reduced by GCD)
-- `rational?` `v` → bool
-- `numerator` `r` → integer
-- `denominator` `r` → integer
-- Reader syntax: `1/3` parsed as rational literal
-- Arithmetic: `(+ 1/3 1/6)` → `1/2`; `(* 1/3 3)` → `1`; mixed int/rational → rational
-- `exact->inexact` on rational → float; `inexact->exact` on float → rational approximation
-- `(number->string 1/3)` → `"1/3"`
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: add `SxRational` type; add `n/d` reader syntax to `spec/parser.sx`; extend
-      all arithmetic primitives for rational contagion (int op rational → rational, rational
-      op float → float).
-- [ ] OCaml: add `SxRational of int * int` (stored in reduced form); implement all arithmetic.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement rational type.
-- [ ] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-rationals.sx` — literals, arithmetic, reduction,
-      mixed numeric tower, exact<->inexact conversion.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: rational numbers — 1/3 literals, arithmetic, numeric tower integration`

-## Phase 17 — read / write / display

-Completes the I/O model. Builds on string ports (Phase 14) and char type (Phase 13).
-`read` parses any SX value from a port; `write` serializes with quoting (round-trippable);
-`display` serializes without quoting (human-readable). Common Lisp's `read` macro,
-Prolog term I/O, and Smalltalk's `printString` all need this.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `read` `[port]` → SX value or eof-object — full SX parser reading from a port
-- `read-char` already in Phase 14; `read` uses it internally
-- `write` `val` `[port]` → void — serializes with quotes: `"hello"`, `#\a`, `(1 2 3)`
-- `display` `val` `[port]` → void — serializes without quotes: `hello`, `a`, `(1 2 3)`
-- `newline` `[port]` → void — writes `\n`
-- `write-to-string` `val` → string — convenience: `(write val (open-output-string))`
-- `display-to-string` `val` → string — convenience
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: implement `read` in `spec/evaluator.sx` — wraps the existing parser to read
-      one datum from a port cursor; handles eof gracefully.
-- [ ] Spec: implement `write`/`display`/`newline` — extend the existing serializer for
-      port output; `write` quotes strings + uses `#\` for chars, `display` does not.
-- [ ] OCaml: wire `read` through port type; implement `write`/`display` output path.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement.
-- [ ] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-read-write.sx` — read string literal, read list,
-      read eof, write round-trip, display vs write quoting, newline, write-to-string.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: read/write/display — S-expression reader/writer on ports`

-
-## Phase 18 — Sets
-
-O(1) membership testing. Distinct from hash tables (unkeyed) and lists (O(n)).
-Erlang has sets as a stdlib staple, Haskell `Data.Set`, APL uses set operations
-constantly, Common Lisp has `union`/`intersection` on lists but a native set is O(1).
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `make-set` `[list]` → fresh set, optionally seeded from list
-- `set?` `v` → bool
-- `set-add!` `s` `val` → void
-- `set-member?` `s` `val` → bool
-- `set-remove!` `s` `val` → void
-- `set-size` `s` → integer
-- `set->list` `s` → list (unspecified order)
-- `list->set` `lst` → set
-- `set-union` `s1` `s2` → new set
-- `set-intersection` `s1` `s2` → new set
-- `set-difference` `s1` `s2` → new set (elements in s1 not in s2)
-- `set-for-each` `s` `fn` → iterate for side effects
-- `set-map` `s` `fn` → new set of mapped values
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: add entries to `spec/primitives.sx`.
-- [ ] OCaml: implement using `Hashtbl.t` with unit values (or a proper `Set` functor
-      with a comparison function); add `SxSet` to `sx_types.ml`.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement using JS `Set`.
-- [ ] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-sets.sx` — add/member/remove, union/intersection/
-      difference, list conversion, for-each, size.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: sets (make-set/set-add!/set-member?/union/intersection/etc)`

-## Phase 19 — Regular expressions as primitives
-
-`lib/js/regex.sx` is a pure-SX regex engine already written. Promoting it to a primitive
-gives every language free regex without reinventing: Lua patterns, Tcl `regexp`, Ruby regex,
-JS regex, Erlang `re` module. Mostly a wiring job — the implementation exists.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `make-regexp` `pattern` `[flags]` → regexp object (`flags`: `"i"` case-insensitive, `"g"` global, `"m"` multiline)
-- `regexp?` `v` → bool
-- `regexp-match` `re` `str` → match dict `{:match "..." :start N :end N :groups (...)}` or nil
-- `regexp-match-all` `re` `str` → list of match dicts
-- `regexp-replace` `re` `str` `replacement` → string with first match replaced
-- `regexp-replace-all` `re` `str` `replacement` → string with all matches replaced
-- `regexp-split` `re` `str` → list of strings (split on matches)
-- Reader syntax: `#/pattern/flags` for regexp literals (parser addition)
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Audit `lib/js/regex.sx` — understand the API it already exposes; map to the
-      primitive API above.
-- [ ] Spec: add `SxRegexp` type to evaluator; add `#/pattern/flags` literal syntax to
-      `spec/parser.sx`; wire `lib/js/regex.sx` engine as the implementation.
-- [ ] OCaml: implement using OCaml `Re` library (or `Str`); add `SxRegexp` to types.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: use native JS `RegExp`; wrap in the primitive API.
-- [ ] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-regexp.sx` — basic match, groups, replace,
-      replace-all, split, flags (case-insensitive), no-match nil return.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: regular expressions (make-regexp/regexp-match/regexp-replace + #/pat/ literals)`

-## Phase 20 — Bytevectors
-
-R7RS standard. Needed for WebSocket binary frames (E36), binary protocol parsing, and
-efficient string encoding. Also the foundation for proper Unicode: `string->utf8` /
-`utf8->string` require a byte array type.
-
-Primitives to add:
-- `make-bytevector` `n` `[fill]` → bytevector of n bytes (fill defaults to 0)
-- `bytevector?` `v` → bool
-- `bytevector-length` `bv` → integer
-- `bytevector-u8-ref` `bv` `i` → byte 0–255
-- `bytevector-u8-set!` `bv` `i` `byte` → void
-- `bytevector-copy` `bv` `[start]` `[end]` → fresh copy
-- `bytevector-copy!` `dst` `at` `src` `[start]` `[end]` → in-place copy
-- `bytevector-append` `bv...` → concatenated bytevector
-- `utf8->string` `bv` `[start]` `[end]` → string decoded as UTF-8
-- `string->utf8` `str` `[start]` `[end]` → bytevector UTF-8 encoded
-- `bytevector->list` / `list->bytevector` → conversion
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: add `SxBytevector` type; implement all primitives in `spec/evaluator.sx` / `spec/primitives.sx`.
-- [ ] OCaml: add `SxBytevector of bytes` to `sx_types.ml`; implement primitives using
-      OCaml `Bytes`.
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: implement using `Uint8Array`.
-- [ ] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-bytevectors.sx` — construction, ref/set, copy,
-      append, utf8 round-trip, slice.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: bytevectors (make-bytevector/u8-ref/u8-set!/utf8->string/etc)`

-## Phase 21 — format
-
-CL-style string formatting beyond `str`. `(format "Hello ~a, age ~d" name age)`.
-Haskell `printf`, Erlang `io:format`, CL `format`, and general string templating all use this idiom.
-
-Directives:
-- `~a` — display (no quotes)
-- `~s` — write (with quotes)
-- `~d` — decimal integer
-- `~x` — hexadecimal integer
-- `~o` — octal integer
-- `~b` — binary integer
-- `~f` — fixed-point float
-- `~e` — scientific notation float
-- `~%` — newline
-- `~&` — fresh line (newline only if not already at start of line)
-- `~~` — literal tilde
-- `~t` — tab
-
-Signature: `(format template arg...)` → string.
-Optional: `(format port template arg...)` — write to port directly.
-
-Steps:
-- [ ] Spec: implement `format` as a pure SX function in `spec/primitives.sx` — parses
-      `~X` directives, dispatches to `display`/`write`/`number->string` as appropriate.
-      Pure SX: no host calls needed. Self-hosting — uses string-buffer (Phase 5) internally.
-- [ ] OCaml: expose as a primitive (or let it run as SX through the evaluator).
-- [ ] JS bootstrapper: same.
-- [ ] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-format.sx` — each directive, multiple args,
-      nested format, port variant, `~~` escape.
-- [ ] Commit: `spec: format — CL-style string formatting (~a ~s ~d ~x ~% etc)`

-## Phase 22 — Language sweep
-
-Replace workarounds with primitives. One language per fire (or per sub-item for big ones).
-Start with blank slates (CL, APL, Ruby, Tcl) — they haven't committed to workarounds yet.
-
-**Scope per language:** only `lib/<lang>/**`. Don't touch spec or other languages.
-Brief each language's loop agent (or do inline) after rebasing their branch onto architecture.
-
-- [ ] Restart CL/APL/Ruby/Tcl loops with updated briefing pointing to new primitives.
-      Add a note to each `plans/<lang>-on-sx.md` under a `## SX primitive baseline` section:
-      "Use vectors for arrays; numeric tower + rationals for numbers; ADTs for tagged data;
-      coroutines for fibers; string-buffer for mutable string building; bitwise ops for bit
-      manipulation; multiple values for multi-return; promises for lazy evaluation; hash tables
-      for mutable associative storage; sets for O(1) membership; sequence protocol for
-      polymorphic iteration; gensym for unique symbols; char type for characters; string ports
-      + read/write for reader protocols; regexp for pattern matching; bytevectors for binary
-      data; format for string templating."
-
-- [ ] Common Lisp: char type (`#\a`); string ports + `read`/`write` for reader/printer;
-      gensym for macros; rational numbers for CL ratios; multiple values; sets for CL set ops;
-      `modulo`/`remainder`/`quotient`; radix formatting; `format` for `cl:format`.
-
-- [ ] Lua: vectors for arrays; hash tables for Lua tables; `delay`/`force` for lazy iterators;
-      regexp for Lua pattern matching; trig from math completeness; bytevectors for binary I/O.
-
-- [ ] Erlang: numeric tower for float/int; bitwise ops for bitmatch; multiple values for
-      multi-return; sets for Erlang sets; `remainder` for `rem`; regexp for `re` module.
-
-- [ ] Haskell: numeric tower for `Num`/`Integral`/`Fractional`; promises for lazy evaluation
-      (critical); multiple values for tuples; rational numbers for `Rational`; char type for
-      `Char`; `gcd`/`lcm`; sets for `Data.Set`; `read`/`write` for `Show`/`Read` instances.
-
-- [ ] JS: vectors for Array; hash tables for `Map`; sets for `Set`; bitwise ops for typed
-      arrays; regexp for JS regex; bytevectors for `Uint8Array`; radix formatting.
-
-- [ ] Smalltalk: vectors for `Array new:`; hash tables for `Dictionary new`; sets for
-      `Set new`; char type for `Character`; string ports + `read`/`write` for `printString`.
-
-- [ ] APL: vectors as core array type; bitwise ops for array masks; sets for APL set ops;
-      sequence protocol for rank-polymorphic operations; format for APL output formatting.
-
-- [ ] Ruby: coroutines for fibers; hash tables for `Hash`; sets for `Set`; regexp for
-      Ruby regex; string ports for `StringIO`; bytevectors for `String` binary encoding.
-
-- [ ] Tcl: string ports for Tcl channel abstraction; string-buffer for `append`; coroutines
-      for Tcl coroutines; regexp for Tcl `regexp`; format for Tcl `format`.
-
-- [ ] Forth: bitwise ops (core); string-buffer for word-definition accumulation; bytevectors
-      for Forth's raw memory model.

-## Ground rules
-
-- Work on the `architecture` branch in `/root/rose-ash` (main worktree).
-- Use sx-tree MCP for all `.sx` file edits. Never use raw Edit/Write/Read on `.sx` files.
-- Commit after each concrete unit of work. Never leave the branch broken.
-- Never push to `main` — only push to `origin/architecture`.
-- Update this checklist every fire: tick `[x]` done, add inline notes on blockers.

-_Newest first._
-
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 7 complete — bitwise-and/or/xor/not + arithmetic-shift + bit-count + integer-length. OCaml: land/lor/lxor/lnot/lsl/asr + Kernighan popcount + lsr loop for integer-length. JS: bitwise ops + Hamming weight + Math.clz32. 26 tests, 158 assertions, all pass. a8a79dc9.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 complete — JS+Tests+Commit all ticked. JS needed no changes (spec-level forms). 40/40 ADT tests pass JS. 2032/2500 JS total (+67 vs phase-4). Phase 6 fully landed: 6c872107+0dc7e159+5d1913e7. Phase 7 (bitwise) next.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 OCaml done — Dict-based ADT (no native SxAdt type needed); hand-written sf_define_type in bootstrap.py FIXUPS (skipped from transpile — &rest params + empty-dict {} literals); registered via register_special_form; step_limit/step_count added to PREAMBLE. 172 assertions pass (test-adt). Full suite 4280/1080 (was 4243/1117, +37). Committed 5d1913e7.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 Spec match done — ADT case added to match-pattern in spec/evaluator.sx: checks (list? pattern)+(symbol? first)+(dict? value)+(get value :_adt), then matches :_ctor+arity and recursively binds field patterns. No-clause error now uses make-cek-value+raise-eval-frame so guard can catch it. 20 new match tests pass; 40/40 total ADT tests green. Zero regressions.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 Spec define-type done — sf-define-type registered via register-special-form! in spec/evaluator.sx; AdtValue as {:_adt true :_type "..." :_ctor "..." :_fields (list ...)}; ctor fns + arity checking + Name?/Ctor? predicates + Ctor-field accessors; *adt-registry* dict populated per define-type call. 20/20 JS tests pass in spec/tests/test-adt.sx. OCaml define-type is next task.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 Design done — plans/designs/sx-adt.md written. Covers define-type/match syntax, AdtValue CEK runtime, stepSfDefineType+MatchFrame dispatch, exhaustiveness warnings, recursive types, nested patterns, wildcard _. 3-phase impl plan. Next fire: Spec implement define-type.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 5 complete — string buffer fully landed (d98b5fa2). 17 tests, 17/17 OCaml+JS. Phase 6 (ADTs) next.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 5 Spec+OCaml+JS step done — StringBuffer of Buffer.t in sx_types.ml; make-string-buffer/append!/->string/length/string-buffer? in sx_primitives.ml; SxStringBuffer with _string_buffer marker + typeOf/dict? fixes in platform.py; JS rebuilt. 17/17 tests OCaml+JS.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 complete — coroutine primitive fully landed (4 commits: spec library + OCaml verified + JS pre-load + 27 tests). Phase 5 (string buffer) next.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 Tests step done — 27 tests total (10 new: state field inspection, yield-from-helper, initial-arg-ignored, mutable-closure, complex-values, round-robin, factory-no-state, non-coroutine-error). 27/27 OCaml+JS.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 JS step done — all CEK primitives already in sx-browser.js; fix was pre-loading spec/coroutines.sx+spec/signals.sx in run_tests.js so (import (sx coroutines)) resolves synchronously. 17/17 coroutine tests pass JS. 1965/2500 total (+25), zero new failures.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 OCaml step done — no native SxCoroutine type needed; existing cek-step-loop/cek-resume/perform/make-cek-state primitives in run_tests.ml fully support the spec/coroutines.sx library. 284/284 pass (coroutines+vectors+numeric-tower+dynamic-wind), zero regressions.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 Spec step done — spec/coroutines.sx define-library with make-coroutine/coroutine-resume/coroutine-yield/coroutine?/coroutine-alive?; make-coroutine stub in evaluator.sx; 17/17 coroutine tests pass (OCaml). Key insight: coroutine body must use (define loop (fn...)) + (loop 0) not named let — named let uses cek_call→cek_run which errors on IO suspension.
-- 2026-05-01: Phase 9 complete — delay/force/delay-force/make-promise/promise?. Dict-based promise {:_promise :forced :thunk :value}; :_iterative flag for delay-force chain following. 25/25 tests OCaml (4357) and JS (2109). Committed e44cb89a.
-- 2026-05-01: Phase 8 complete — values/call-with-values/let-values/define-values. Dict marker {:_values true :_list [...]} (no new type). step-sf-define desugars shorthand (define (f x) body) on both hosts. 25/25 tests OCaml+JS. Committed 43cc1d90.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 3 complete — OCaml+JS done. CallccContinuation gains winders-depth int; make_callcc_continuation/callcc_continuation_winders_len wired; wind-after/wind-return CekFrame fields fixed (cf_f=after-thunk, cf_extra=winders-len, cf_name=body-result); get_val + transpiler.sx updated. 8/8 dynamic-wind tests pass on OCaml; 235/235 (callcc+guard+do+r7rs) zero regressions. Committed 6602ec8c.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 3 Spec+Tests done — dynamic-wind CEK implementation: wind-after/wind-return frames, *winders* stack, kont-unwind-to-handler, wind-escape-to. callcc frame stores winders-len in continuation; callcc-continuation? calls wind-escape-to before escape. 8/8 dynamic-wind tests pass (normal return, raise, call/cc, nested LIFO, guard ordering). 1948/2500 JS (+8). Zero regressions. Committed a9d5a108.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 complete — Verify+Commit done. OCaml 4874/394, JS 1940/2500 (+60). No regressions. 6 JS-only failures are float≡int platform-inherent. Phase 2 fully landed across 4 commits.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 JS bootstrapper done — integer?/float?/exact?/inexact? added (Number.isInteger); truncate/remainder/modulo/random-int/exact->inexact/inexact->exact/parse-number added. Fixed sx_server.ml epoch+blob+io-response protocol for Integer type. JS: 1940/2500 (+60). OCaml: 4874/394 baseline. 6 JS tests fail (JS float≡int platform limit). Committed b12a22e6.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 Spec done — integer?/float? predicates added to spec/primitives.sx; floor/ceil/truncate :returns updated to "integer"; / to "float"; exact->inexact/inexact->exact docs and returns updated; float contagion documented on +/-/*; 4874/394 baseline. Committed 45ec5535.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 OCaml+Tests done — `Integer of int` / `Number of float` in sx_types.ml; float contagion across all arithmetic; floor/truncate/round → Integer; integer?/float?/exact?/inexact?/exact->inexact/inexact->exact; 92/92 numeric tower tests pass; 4874 total (394 pre-existing unchanged). Committed c70bbdeb.
-- 2026-04-26: Phase 1 complete — JS step done. Fixed fundamental lambda binding bug (index-of on arrays returned -1 not NIL, making bind-lambda-params mis-fire &rest branch). Added _lastErrorKont_/hostError/try-catch stubs. 42/42 vector tests pass. 1847 std / 2362 full passing (up from 5). Committed.
-- 2026-04-25: Phase 1 spec step done — all 10 vector primitives in spec/primitives.sx have full :as type annotations, :returns, :doc; make-vector optional fill param added.
-- 2026-04-25: Phase 1 OCaml step done — bounds-checked vector-ref/set!, vector-copy now accepts optional start/end, spec/primitives.sx doc updated. 10/10 r7rs vector tests pass, 4747 total (394 pre-existing hs-upstream fails unchanged).
-- 2026-04-25: Phase 0 complete — stopped CL/APL/Ruby/Tcl loops (all 4 idle at shell); confirmed E38 (tokenizer :end/:line) and E39 (WebWorker stub) both have implementation commits.

-# ruby-on-sx loop agent (single agent, queue-driven)
-
-Role: iterates `plans/ruby-on-sx.md` forever. Fibers via delcc is the headline showcase — `Fiber.new`/`Fiber.yield`/`Fiber.resume` are textbook delimited continuations with sugar, where MRI does it via C-stack swapping. Plus blocks/yield (lexical escape continuations, same shape as Smalltalk's non-local return), method_missing, and singleton classes.

-```
-description: ruby-on-sx queue loop
-subagent_type: general-purpose
-run_in_background: true
-isolation: worktree
-```
-
-## Prompt
-
-You are the sole background agent working `/root/rose-ash/plans/ruby-on-sx.md`. Isolated worktree, forever, one commit per feature. Never push.
-
-## Restart baseline — check before iterating
-
-1. Read `plans/ruby-on-sx.md` — roadmap + Progress log.
-2. `ls lib/ruby/` — pick up from the most advanced file.
-3. If `lib/ruby/tests/*.sx` exist, run them. Green before new work.
-4. If `lib/ruby/scoreboard.md` exists, that's your baseline.
-
-## The queue
-
-Phase order per `plans/ruby-on-sx.md`:
-
-- **Phase 1** — tokenizer + parser. Keywords, identifier sigils (`@` ivar, `@@` cvar, `$` global), strings with interpolation, `%w[]`/`%i[]`, symbols, blocks `{|x| …}` and `do |x| … end`, splats, default args, method def
-- **Phase 2** — object model + sequential eval. Class table, ancestor-chain dispatch, `super`, singleton classes, `method_missing` fallback, dynamic constant lookup
-- **Phase 3** — blocks + procs + lambdas. Method captures escape continuation `^k`; `yield` / `return` / `break` / `next` / `redo` semantics; lambda strict arity vs proc lax
-- **Phase 4** — **THE SHOWCASE**: fibers via delcc. `Fiber.new`/`Fiber.resume`/`Fiber.yield`/`Fiber.transfer`. Classic programs (generator, producer-consumer, tree-walk) green
-- **Phase 5** — modules + mixins + metaprogramming. `include`/`prepend`/`extend`, `define_method`, `class_eval`/`instance_eval`, `respond_to?`/`respond_to_missing?`, hooks
-- **Phase 6** — stdlib drive. `Enumerable` mixin, `Comparable`, Array/Hash/Range/String/Integer methods, drive corpus to 200+
-
-Within a phase, pick the checkbox that unlocks the most tests per effort.
-
-Every iteration: implement → test → commit → tick `[ ]` → Progress log → next.
-
-## Ground rules (hard)
-
-- **Scope:** only `lib/ruby/**` and `plans/ruby-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root. Ruby primitives go in `lib/ruby/runtime.sx`.
-- **NEVER call `sx_build`.** 600s watchdog. If sx_server binary broken → Blockers entry, stop.
-- **Shared-file issues** → plan's Blockers with minimal repro.
-- **Delimited continuations** are in `lib/callcc.sx` + `spec/evaluator.sx` Step 5. `sx_summarise` spec/evaluator.sx first — 2300+ lines.
-- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after edits.
-- **Worktree:** commit locally. Never push. Never touch `main`.
-- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.
-- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
-
-## Ruby-specific gotchas
-
-- **Block `return` vs lambda `return`.** Inside a block `{ ... return v }`, `return` invokes the *enclosing method's* escape continuation (non-local return). Inside a lambda `->(){ ... return v }`, `return` returns from the *lambda*. Don't conflate. Implement: blocks bind their `^method-k`; lambdas bind their own `^lambda-k`.
-- **`break` from inside a block** invokes a different escape — the *iteration loop's* escape — and the loop returns the break-value. `next` is escape from current iteration, returns iteration value. `redo` re-enters current iteration without advancing.
-- **Proc arity is lax.** `proc { |a, b, c| … }.call(1, 2)` ↦ `c = nil`. Lambda is strict — same call raises ArgumentError. Check arity at call site for lambdas only.
-- **Block argument unpacking.** `[[1,2],[3,4]].each { |a, b| … }` — single Array arg auto-unpacks for blocks (not lambdas). One arg, one Array → unpack. Frequent footgun.
-- **Method dispatch chain order:** prepended modules → class methods → included modules → superclass → BasicObject → method_missing. `super` walks from the *defining* class's position, not the receiver class's.
-- **Singleton classes** are lazily allocated. Looking up the chain for an object passes through its singleton class first, then its actual class. `class << obj; …; end` opens the singleton.
-- **`method_missing`** — fallback when ancestor walk misses. Receives `(name_symbol, *args, &blk)`. Pair with `respond_to_missing?` for `respond_to?` to also report true. Do **not** swallow NoMethodError silently.
-- **Ivars are per-object dicts.** Reading an unset ivar yields `nil` and a warning (`-W`). Don't error.
-- **Constant lookup** is first lexical (Module.nesting), then inheritance (Module.ancestors of the innermost class). Different from method lookup.
-- **`Object#send`** invokes private and public methods alike; `Object#public_send` skips privates.
-- **Class reopening.** `class Foo; def bar; …; end; end` plus a later `class Foo; def baz; …; end; end` adds methods to the same class. Class table lookups must be by-name, mutable; methods dict is mutable.
-- **Fiber semantics.** `Fiber.new { |arg| … }` creates a fiber suspended at entry. First `Fiber.resume(v)` enters with `arg = v`. Inside, `Fiber.yield(w)` returns `w` to the resumer; the next `Fiber.resume(v')` returns `v'` to the yield site. End of block returns final value to last resumer; subsequent `Fiber.resume` raises FiberError.
-- **`Fiber.transfer`** is symmetric — either side can transfer to the other; no resume/yield asymmetry. Implement on top of the same continuation pair, just don't enforce direction.
-- **Symbols are interned.** `:foo == :foo` is identity. Use SX symbols.
-- **Strings are mutable.** `s = "abc"; s << "d"; s == "abcd"`. Hash keys can be strings; hash dups string keys at insertion to be safe (or freeze them).
-- **Truthiness:** only `false` and `nil` are falsy. `0`, `""`, `[]` are truthy.
-- **Test corpus:** custom + curated RubySpec slice. Place programs in `lib/ruby/tests/programs/` with `.rb` extension.
-
-## General gotchas (all loops)

-
-1. Read `plans/tcl-on-sx.md` — roadmap + Progress log.
-2. `ls lib/tcl/` — pick up from the most advanced file.
-3. If `lib/tcl/tests/*.sx` exist, run them. Green before new work.

-## The queue
-
-Phase order per `plans/tcl-on-sx.md`:
-
-- **Phase 1** — tokenizer + parser. The Dodekalogue (12 rules): word-splitting, command sub `[…]`, var sub `$name`/`${name}`/`$arr(idx)`, double-quote vs brace word, backslash, `;`, `#` comments only at command start, single-pass left-to-right substitution
-- **Phase 2** — sequential eval + core commands. `set`/`unset`/`incr`/`append`/`lappend`, `puts`/`gets`, `expr` (own mini-language), `if`/`while`/`for`/`foreach`/`switch`, string commands, list commands, dict commands
-- **Phase 3** — **THE SHOWCASE**: `proc` + `uplevel` + `upvar`. Frame stack with proc-call push/pop; `uplevel #N script` evaluates in caller's frame; `upvar` aliases names across frames. Classic programs (for-each-line, assert macro, with-temp-var) green
-- **Phase 4** — `return -code N`, `catch`, `try`/`trap`/`finally`, `throw`. Control flow as integer codes
-- **Phase 5** — namespaces + ensembles. `namespace eval`, qualified names `::ns::cmd`, ensembles, `namespace path`
-- **Phase 6** — coroutines (built on fibers, same delcc as Ruby fibers) + system commands + drive corpus to 150+
-
-Within a phase, pick the checkbox that unlocks the most tests per effort.
-
-Every iteration: implement → test → commit → tick `[ ]` → Progress log → next.
-
-## Ground rules (hard)
-
-- **Scope:** only `lib/tcl/**` and `plans/tcl-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root. Tcl primitives go in `lib/tcl/runtime.sx`.
-- **NEVER call `sx_build`.** 600s watchdog. If sx_server binary broken → Blockers entry, stop.
-- **Shared-file issues** → plan's Blockers with minimal repro.
-- **Delimited continuations** are in `lib/callcc.sx` + `spec/evaluator.sx` Step 5. `sx_summarise` spec/evaluator.sx first — 2300+ lines.
-- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after edits.
-- **Worktree:** commit locally. Never push. Never touch `main`.
-- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.
-- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
-
-## Tcl-specific gotchas
-
-- **Everything is a string.** Internally cache shimmer reps (list, dict, int, double) for performance, but every value must be re-stringifiable. Mutating one rep dirties the cached string and vice versa.
-- **The Dodekalogue is strict.** Substitution is **one-pass**, **left-to-right**. The result of a substitution is a value, not a script — it does NOT get re-parsed for further substitutions. This is what makes Tcl safe-by-default. Don't accidentally re-parse.
-- **Brace word `{…}`** is the only way to defer evaluation. No substitution inside, just balanced braces. Used for `if {expr}` body, `proc body`, `expr` arguments.
-- **Double-quote word `"…"`** is identical to a bare word for substitution purposes — it just allows whitespace in a single word. `\` escapes still apply.
-- **Comments are only at command position.** `# this is a comment` after a `;` or newline; *not* inside a command. `set x 1 # not a comment` is a 4-arg `set`.
-- **`expr` has its own grammar** — operator precedence, function calls — and does its own substitution. Brace `expr {$x + 1}` to avoid double-substitution and to enable bytecode caching.
-- **`if` and `while` re-parse** the condition only if not braced. Always use `if {…}`/`while {…}` form. The unbraced form re-substitutes per iteration.
-- **`return` from a `proc`** uses control code 2. `break` is 3, `continue` is 4. `error` is 1. `catch` traps any non-zero code; user can return non-zero with `return -code error -errorcode FOO message`.
-- **`uplevel #0 script`** is global frame. `uplevel 1 script` (or just `uplevel script`) is caller's frame. `uplevel #N` is absolute level N (0=global, 1=top-level proc, 2=proc-called-from-top, …). Negative levels are errors.
-- **`upvar #N otherVar localVar`** binds `localVar` in the current frame as an *alias* — both names refer to the same storage. Reads and writes go through the alias.
-- **`info level`** with no arg returns current level number. `info level N` (positive) returns the command list that invoked level N. `info level -N` returns the command list of the level N relative-up.
-- **Variable names with `(…)`** are array elements: `set arr(foo) 1`. Arrays are not first-class values — you can't `set x $arr`. `array get arr` gives a flat list `{key1 val1 key2 val2 …}`.
-- **List vs string.** `set l "a b c"` and `set l [list a b c]` look the same when printed but the second has a cached list rep. `lindex` works on both via shimmering. Most user code can't tell the difference.
-- **`incr x`** errors if x doesn't exist; pre-set with `set x 0` or use `incr x 0` first if you mean "create-or-increment". Or use `dict incr` for dicts.
-- **Coroutines are fibers.** `coroutine name body` starts a coroutine; calling `name` resumes it; `yield value` from inside suspends and returns `value` to the resumer. Same primitive as Ruby fibers — share the implementation under the hood.
-- **`switch`** matches first clause whose pattern matches. Default is `default`. Variant matches: glob (default), `-exact`, `-glob`, `-regexp`. Body `-` means "fall through to next clause's body".
-- **Test corpus:** custom + slice of Tcl's own tests. Place programs in `lib/tcl/tests/programs/` with `.tcl` extension.

-# APL-on-SX: rank-polymorphic primitives + glyph parser
-
-The headline showcase is **rank polymorphism** — a single primitive (`+`, `⌈`, `⊂`, `⍳`) works uniformly on scalars, vectors, matrices, and higher-rank arrays. ~80 glyph primitives + 6 operators bind together with right-to-left evaluation; the entire language is a high-density combinator algebra. The JIT compiler + primitive table pay off massively here because almost every program is `array → array` pure pipelines.
-
-End-state goal: Dyalog-flavoured APL subset, dfns + tradfns, classic programs (game-of-life, mandelbrot, prime-sieve, n-queens, conway), 100+ green tests.
-
-## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
-
-- **Syntax:** Dyalog APL surface, Unicode glyphs. `⎕`-quad system functions for I/O. `∇` tradfn header.
-- **Conformance:** "Reads like APL, runs like APL." Not byte-compat with Dyalog; we care about right-to-left semantics and rank polymorphism.
-- **Test corpus:** custom — APL idioms (Roger Hui style), classic programs, plus ~50 pattern tests for primitives.
-- **Out of scope:** ⎕-namespaces beyond a handful, complex numbers, full TAO ordering, `⎕FX` runtime function definition (use static `∇` only), nested-array-of-functions higher orders, the editor.
-- **Glyphs:** input via plain Unicode in `.apl` source files. Backtick-prefix shortcuts handled by the user's editor — we don't ship one.
-
-## Ground rules
-
-- **Scope:** only touch `lib/apl/**` and `plans/apl-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. APL primitives go in `lib/apl/runtime.sx`.
-- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.

-- **Rank polymorphism** — every scalar primitive is broadcast: `1 2 3 + 4 5 6` ↦ `5 7 9`; `(2 3⍴⍳6) + 1` ↦ broadcast scalar to matrix.
-- **Conformability** = matching shapes, or one-side scalar, or rank-1 cycling (deferred — keep strict in v1).
-- **Valence** = each glyph has a monadic and a dyadic meaning; resolution is purely positional (left-arg present → dyadic).
-- **Operator** = takes one or two function operands, returns a derived function (`f¨` = `each f`, `f/` = `reduce f`, `f∘g` = `compose`, `f⍨` = `commute`).
-- **Tradfn** `∇R←L F R; locals` = named function with explicit header.
-- **Dfn** `{⍺+⍵}` = anonymous, `⍺` = left arg, `⍵` = right arg, `∇` = recurse.

-## Roadmap
-
-### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
-- [ ] Tokenizer: Unicode glyphs (the full APL set: `+ - × ÷ * ⍟ ⌈ ⌊ | ! ? ○ ~ < ≤ = ≥ > ≠ ∊ ∧ ∨ ⍱ ⍲ , ⍪ ⍴ ⌽ ⊖ ⍉ ↑ ↓ ⊂ ⊃ ⊆ ∪ ∩ ⍳ ⍸ ⌷ ⍋ ⍒ ⊥ ⊤ ⊣ ⊢ ⍎ ⍕ ⍝`), operators (`/ \ ¨ ⍨ ∘ . ⍣ ⍤ ⍥ @`), numbers (`¯` for negative, `1E2`, `1J2` complex deferred), characters (`'a'`, `''` escape), strands (juxtaposition of literals: `1 2 3`), names, comments `⍝ …`
-- [ ] Parser: right-to-left; classify each token as function, operator, value, or name; resolve valence positionally; dfn `{…}` body, tradfn `∇` header, guards `:`, control words `:If :While :For …` (Dyalog-style)
-- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/apl/tests/parse.sx`

-- [ ] 40+ tests in `lib/apl/tests/structural.sx`
-
-### Phase 4 — operators (THE SHOWCASE)
-- [ ] Reduce `f/` (last axis), `f⌿` (first axis) — including `∧/`, `∨/`, `+/`, `×/`, `⌈/`, `⌊/`
-- [ ] Scan `f\`, `f⍀`
-- [ ] Each `f¨` — applies `f` to each scalar/element
-- [ ] Outer product `∘.f` — `1 2 3 ∘.× 1 2 3` ↦ multiplication table
-- [ ] Inner product `f.g` — `+.×` is matrix multiply
-- [ ] Commute `f⍨` — `f⍨ x` ↔ `x f x`, `x f⍨ y` ↔ `y f x`
-- [ ] Compose `f∘g` — applies `g` first then `f`
-- [ ] Power `f⍣n` — apply f n times; `f⍣≡` until fixed point

-- [ ] At `@` — selective replace
-- [ ] 40+ tests in `lib/apl/tests/operators.sx`
-
-### Phase 5 — dfns + tradfns + control flow
-- [ ] Dfn `{…}` with `⍺` (left arg, may be absent → niladic/monadic), `⍵` (right arg), `∇` (recurse), guards `cond:expr`, default left arg `⍺←default`
-- [ ] Local assignment via `←` (lexical inside dfn)
-- [ ] Tradfn `∇` header: `R←L F R;l1;l2`, statement-by-statement, branch via `→linenum`
-- [ ] Dyalog control words: `:If/:Else/:EndIf`, `:While/:EndWhile`, `:For X :In V :EndFor`, `:Select/:Case/:EndSelect`, `:Trap`/`:EndTrap`
-- [ ] Niladic / monadic / dyadic dispatch (function valence at definition time)
-- [ ] `lib/apl/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
-
-### Phase 6 — classic programs + drive corpus

-  - [ ] `life.apl` — Conway's Game of Life as a one-liner using `⊂` `⊖` `⌽` `+/`
-  - [ ] `mandelbrot.apl` — complex iteration with rank-polymorphic `+ × ⌊` (or real-axis subset)
-  - [ ] `primes.apl` — `(2=+⌿0=A∘.|A)/A←⍳N` sieve

-# Common-Lisp-on-SX: conditions + restarts on delimited continuations
-
-The headline showcase is the **condition system**. Restarts are *resumable* exceptions — every other Lisp implementation reinvents this on host-stack unwind tricks. On SX restarts are textbook delimited continuations: `signal` walks the handler chain; `invoke-restart` resumes the captured continuation at the restart point. Same delcc primitive that powers Erlang actors, expressed as a different surface.
-
-End-state goal: ANSI Common Lisp subset with a working condition/restart system, CLOS multimethods (with `:before`/`:after`/`:around`), the LOOP macro, packages, and ~150 hand-written + classic programs.
-
-## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
-
-- **Syntax:** ANSI Common Lisp surface. Read tables, dispatch macros (`#'`, `#(`, `#\`, `#:`, `#x`, `#b`, `#o`, ratios `1/3`).
-- **Conformance:** ANSI X3.226 *as a target*, not bug-for-bug SBCL/CCL. "Reads like CL, runs like CL."
-- **Test corpus:** custom + a curated slice of `ansi-test`. Plus classic programs: condition-system demo, restart-driven debugger, multiple-dispatch geometry, LOOP corpus.
-- **Out of scope:** compilation to native, FFI, sockets, threads, MOP class redefinition, full pathname/logical-pathname machinery, structures with `:include` deep customization.
-- **Packages:** simple — `defpackage`/`in-package`/`export`/`use-package`/`:cl`/`:cl-user`. No nicknames, no shadowing-import edge cases.

-
-## Roadmap
-
-### Phase 1 — reader + parser
-- [ ] Tokenizer: symbols (with package qualification `pkg:sym` / `pkg::sym`), numbers (int, float, ratio `1/3`, `#xFF`, `#b1010`, `#o17`), strings `"…"` with `\` escapes, characters `#\Space` `#\Newline` `#\a`, comments `;`, block comments `#| … |#`
-- [ ] Reader: list, dotted pair, quote `'`, function `#'`, quasiquote `` ` ``, unquote `,`, splice `,@`, vector `#(…)`, uninterned `#:foo`, nil/t literals
-- [ ] Parser: lambda lists with `&optional` `&rest` `&key` `&aux` `&allow-other-keys`, defaults, supplied-p variables
-- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/common-lisp/tests/read.sx`
-
-### Phase 2 — sequential eval + special forms
-- [ ] `cl-eval-ast`: `quote`, `if`, `progn`, `let`, `let*`, `flet`, `labels`, `setq`, `setf` (subset), `function`, `lambda`, `the`, `locally`, `eval-when`
-- [ ] `block` + `return-from` via captured continuation

-- [ ] `defun`, `defparameter`, `defvar`, `defconstant`, `declaim`, `proclaim` (no-op)
-- [ ] Dynamic variables — `defvar`/`defparameter` produce specials; `let` rebinds via parameterize-style scope
-- [ ] 60+ tests in `lib/common-lisp/tests/eval.sx`
-
-### Phase 3 — conditions + restarts (THE SHOWCASE)
-- [ ] `define-condition` — class hierarchy rooted at `condition`/`error`/`warning`/`simple-error`/`simple-warning`/`type-error`/`arithmetic-error`/`division-by-zero`
-- [ ] `signal`, `error`, `cerror`, `warn` — all walk the handler chain
-- [ ] `handler-bind` — non-unwinding handlers, may decline by returning normally
-- [ ] `handler-case` — unwinding handlers (delcc abort)
-- [ ] `restart-case`, `with-simple-restart`, `restart-bind`
-- [ ] `find-restart`, `invoke-restart`, `invoke-restart-interactively`, `compute-restarts`
-- [ ] `with-condition-restarts` — associate restarts with a specific condition
-- [ ] `*break-on-signals*`, `*debugger-hook*` (basic)
-- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/common-lisp/tests/programs/`:
-  - [ ] `restart-demo.lisp` — division with `:use-zero` and `:retry` restarts
-  - [ ] `parse-recover.lisp` — parser with skipped-token restart
-  - [ ] `interactive-debugger.lisp` — ASCII REPL using `:debugger-hook`
-- [ ] `lib/common-lisp/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
-
-### Phase 4 — CLOS
-- [ ] `defclass` with `:initarg`/`:initform`/`:accessor`/`:reader`/`:writer`/`:allocation`
-- [ ] `make-instance`, `slot-value`, `(setf slot-value)`, `with-slots`, `with-accessors`
-- [ ] `defgeneric` with `:method-combination` (standard, plus `+`, `and`, `or`)
-- [ ] `defmethod` with `:before` / `:after` / `:around` qualifiers
-- [ ] `call-next-method` (continuation), `next-method-p`
-- [ ] `class-of`, `find-class`, `slot-boundp`, `change-class` (basic)
-- [ ] Multiple dispatch — method specificity by argument-class precedence list
-- [ ] Built-in classes registered for tagged values (`integer`, `float`, `string`, `symbol`, `cons`, `null`, `t`)
-- [ ] Classic programs:
-  - [ ] `geometry.lisp` — `intersect` generic dispatching on (point line), (line line), (line plane)…
-  - [ ] `mop-trace.lisp` — `:before` + `:after` printing call trace
-
-### Phase 5 — macros + LOOP + reader macros

-- [ ] `gensym`, `gentemp`
-- [ ] `set-macro-character`, `set-dispatch-macro-character`, `get-macro-character`
-- [ ] **The LOOP macro** — iteration drivers (`for … in/across/from/upto/downto/by`, `while`, `until`, `repeat`), accumulators (`collect`, `append`, `nconc`, `count`, `sum`, `maximize`, `minimize`), conditional clauses (`if`/`when`/`unless`/`else`), termination (`finally`/`thereis`/`always`/`never`), `named` blocks
-- [ ] LOOP test corpus: 30+ tests covering all clause types
-
-### Phase 6 — packages + stdlib drive
-- [ ] `defpackage`, `in-package`, `export`, `use-package`, `import`, `find-package`
-- [ ] Package qualification at the reader level — `cl:car`, `mypkg::internal`
-- [ ] `:common-lisp` (`:cl`) and `:common-lisp-user` (`:cl-user`) packages
-- [ ] Sequence functions — `mapcar`, `mapc`, `mapcan`, `reduce`, `find`, `find-if`, `position`, `count`, `every`, `some`, `notany`, `notevery`, `remove`, `remove-if`, `subst`
-- [ ] List ops — `assoc`, `getf`, `nth`, `last`, `butlast`, `nthcdr`, `tailp`, `ldiff`
-- [ ] String ops — `string=`, `string-upcase`, `string-downcase`, `subseq`, `concatenate`
-- [ ] FORMAT — basic directives `~A`, `~S`, `~D`, `~F`, `~%`, `~&`, `~T`, `~{...~}` (iteration), `~[...~]` (conditional), `~^` (escape), `~P` (plural)
-- [ ] Drive corpus to 200+ green

-# SX Algebraic Data Types — Design
-
-## Motivation
-
-Every language implementation currently uses `{:tag "..." :field ...}` tagged dicts to
-simulate sum types. This is verbose, error-prone (typos in tag strings go undetected), and
-produces no exhaustiveness warnings. Native ADTs eliminate the pattern everywhere.

-## Syntax
-
-### `define-type`
-
-```lisp
-(define-type Name
-  (Ctor1 field1 field2 ...)
-  (Ctor2 field1 ...)
-  ...)
-```
-
-Creates:
-- Constructor functions: `Ctor1`, `Ctor2`, … (callable like normal functions)
-- Type predicate: `Name?` — returns true for any value of type `Name`
-- Constructor predicates: `Ctor1?`, `Ctor2?`, … (optional, auto-generated)
-- Field accessors: `Ctor1-field1`, `Ctor1-field2`, … (optional, auto-generated)
-
-Examples:
-
-```lisp
-(define-type Maybe
-  (Just value)
-  (Nothing))
-
-(define-type Result
-  (Ok value)
-  (Err message))
-
-(define-type Tree
-  (Leaf)
-  (Node left value right))
-
-(define-type List-of
-  (Nil-of)
-  (Cons-of head tail))
-```
-
-Constructors with no fields are zero-argument constructors (singletons by value):
-
-```lisp
-(Nothing)     ; => #<Nothing>
-(Leaf)        ; => #<Leaf>
-```
-
-### `match`
-
-```lisp
-(match expr
-  ((Ctor1 a b) body)
-  ((Ctor2 x)   body)
-  ((Ctor3)     body)
-  (else        body))
-```
-
-- Clauses are tried in order; first match wins.
-- `else` clause is optional but suppresses exhaustiveness warnings.
-- Pattern variables (`a`, `b`, `x`) are bound in the body scope.
-- Wildcard `_` discards the matched value.
-- Literal patterns: `42`, `"str"`, `true`, `nil` — match by value equality.
-- Nested patterns: `((Node left (Leaf) right) body)` — nested constructor patterns.
-
-Examples:
-
-```lisp
-(match result
-  ((Ok v)  (str "got: " v))
-  ((Err m) (str "error: " m)))
-
-(match tree
-  ((Leaf)        0)
-  ((Node l v r)  (+ 1 (tree-depth l) (tree-depth r))))

-## CEK Dispatch
-
-### Runtime representation
-
-ADT values are OCaml records (not dicts) — opaque, non-inspectable via `get`:
-
-```ocaml
-type adt_value = {
-  av_type  : string;   (* type name, e.g. "Maybe" *)
-  av_ctor  : string;   (* constructor name, e.g. "Just" *)
-  av_fields: value array;  (* positional fields *)
-}
-```
-
-In JS: `{ _adt: true, _type: "Maybe", _ctor: "Just", _fields: [v] }`.
-
-`typeOf` returns the ADT type name (e.g. `"Maybe"`).
-
-### `define-type` — special form
-
-`stepSfDefineType(args, env, kont)`:
-
-1. Parse `Name` and list of `(CtorN field...)` clauses.
-2. For each constructor `CtorK` with fields `[f1, f2, …]`:
-   - Register `CtorK` as a `NativeFn` that takes `|fields|` args and returns an `AdtValue`.
-   - Register `CtorK?` as a predicate (`AdtValue` with matching ctor name → `true`).
-   - Register `CtorK-fN` as field accessor (returns `av_fields[N]`).
-3. Register `Name?` as a predicate (`AdtValue` with matching type name → `true`).
-4. All bindings go into the current environment via `env-bind!`.
-5. Returns `Nil`.
-
-This is an environment mutation — no new frame needed. Evaluates in one step.
-
-### `match` — special form
-
-`stepSfMatch(args, env, kont)`:
-
-1. Push `MatchFrame` with `clauses` and `env` onto kont.
-2. Return state evaluating the scrutinee `expr`.
-3. `MatchFrame` continue: receive scrutinee value, walk clauses:
-   - For each `((CtorN vars...) body)`:
-     - If scrutinee is an `AdtValue` with `av_ctor = "CtorN"` and `av_fields.length = |vars|`:
-       - Bind `vars[i]` → `av_fields[i]` in fresh child env.
-       - Return state evaluating `body` in that env.
-   - `(else body)` — always matches, body evaluated in current env.
-   - Literal `42`/`"str"` patterns: match by value equality.
-   - Wildcard `_`: always matches, binds nothing.
-4. If no clause matched and no `else`: raise `"match: no clause matched <value>"`.
-
-Frame type: `"match"` — stores `cf_remaining` (clauses), `cf_env` (enclosing env).
-

-
-## Interaction with `cond` / `case`
-
-`match` is the primary dispatch form for ADTs. `cond` / `case` remain unchanged:
-
-- `cond` tests arbitrary boolean expressions — still useful for non-ADT dispatch.
-- `case` matches on equality to literal values — unchanged.
-- `match` is the new form: structural pattern matching on ADT constructors.
-
-They are orthogonal. A `match` clause can contain a `cond`; a `cond` clause can contain a `match`.
-
----
-
-## Exhaustiveness checking
-
-Emit a **warning** (not an error) when:
-- A `match` has no `else` clause, AND
-- Not all constructors of the scrutinee's type are covered.
-
-Detection: when `define-type` runs, it registers the constructor set in a global table
-`_adt_registry: type_name → [ctor_names]`. At `match` compile/evaluation time:
-- If the scrutinee's type is in `_adt_registry` and not all ctors appear as patterns:
-  - `console.warn("[sx] match: non-exhaustive — missing: Ctor3, Ctor4 for type Maybe")`
-  - Execution continues (warning, not error).
-
-This is best-effort: the scrutinee type is only known at runtime. The warning fires on
-first non-exhaustive match evaluation, not at definition time.
-
----
-
-## Recursive types
-
-Recursive types work because constructors are registered as functions, and function bodies
-are evaluated lazily:
-
-```lisp
-(define-type Tree
-  (Leaf)
-  (Node left value right))
-
-; Recursive function over a recursive type:
-(define (depth tree)
-  (match tree
-    ((Leaf)        0)
-    ((Node l v r)  (+ 1 (max (depth l) (depth r))))))
-```
-
-No special treatment needed — the type definition doesn't need to know about recursion.
-The constructor `Node` accepts any values, including other `Node` or `Leaf` values.
-
----
-
-## Pattern variables
-
-In `match` clauses, identifiers in constructor position that are NOT constructor names are
-treated as pattern variables (bound to matched field values):
-
-```lisp
-(match x
-  ((Just v)    v)          ; v bound to the wrapped value
-  ((Nothing)   nil))
-
-(match pair
-  ((Cons-of h t)  (list h t)))  ; h, t bound to head and tail
-```
-
-**Wildcard**: `_` is always a wildcard — matches anything, binds nothing.
-
-```lisp
-(match x
-  ((Just _)    "has value")
-  ((Nothing)   "empty"))
-```
-
-**Nested patterns**:
-
-```lisp
-(match tree
-  ((Node (Leaf) v (Leaf))  (str "leaf node: " v))
-  ((Node l v r)             (str "inner node: " v)))
-```
-
-Nested patterns are matched recursively: the inner `(Leaf)` pattern checks that the
-`left` field is itself a `Leaf` ADT value.
-
----
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-### Phase 6a — `define-type` + basic `match` (no nested patterns, no exhaustiveness)
-
-1. OCaml: add `AdtValue of adt_value` to `sx_types.ml`.
-2. Evaluator: add `step-sf-define-type` — parse clauses, register ctor fns + predicates + accessors.
-3. Evaluator: add `step-sf-match` + `MatchFrame` — linear scan of clauses, flat patterns only.
-4. JS: same (AdtValue as plain object with `_adt`/`_type`/`_ctor`/`_fields` props).
-
-### Phase 6b — nested patterns (separate fire)
-
-Recursive `matchPattern(pattern, value, env)` helper that:
-- Returns `{matched: bool, bindings: map}` 
-- Recursively matches sub-patterns against ADT fields.
-
-### Phase 6c — exhaustiveness warnings (separate fire)
-
-`_adt_registry` global + warning emission on first non-exhaustive match.
-
----
-
-## Open questions (deferred to review)
-
-1. **Accessor auto-generation**: should `Ctor-field` accessors be generated always, or only on demand? Risk: name collisions if two types have constructors with same field names.
-2. **Singleton constructors**: `(Nothing)` — zero-arg ctor — should these be interned (same object every call) or fresh each time? Interning enables `eq?` checks but requires a global table.
-3. **Printing/inspect**: `inspect` on an AdtValue should show `(Just 42)` not `#<adt:Just>`. Implement in `inspect` function or via `display`/`write` (Phase 17 ports).
-4. **Pattern-matching on non-ADT values**: should `match` handle list patterns `(a . b)` and literal patterns in clause heads? Deferred — add only if needed by a language implementation.

-
-Goal: take hyperscript conformance from **1277/1496 (85.4%)** to **1496/1496 (100%)** by clearing the blocked clusters and the design-done Bucket E subsystems.
-
-This plan exists because the per-iteration `loops/hs` agent can't fit these into its 30-min budget — they need dedicated multi-commit sit-downs. Track progress here; refer to `plans/hs-conformance-to-100.md` for the canonical cluster ledger.
-
-## Current state (2026-04-25)
-
-- Loop running in `/root/rose-ash-loops/hs` (branch `loops/hs`)
-- sx-tree MCP **fixed** (was a session-stale binary issue — restart of claude in the tmux window picked it up). Loop hinted to retry **#32**, **#29** first.
-- Recent loop progress: ~1 commit/6h — easy wins drained, what's left needs focused attention.

-## Remaining work
-
-### Bucket-A/B/C blockers (small, in-place fixes)
-
-| # | Cluster | Tests | Effort | Blocker | Fix sketch |
-|---|---------|------:|--------|---------|------------|
-| **17** | `tell` semantics | +3 | ~1h | Implicit-default-target ambiguity. `bare add .bar` inside `tell X` should target `X` but explicit `to me` must reach the original element. | Add `beingTold` symbol distinct from `me`; bare commands compile to `beingTold-or-me`; explicit `me` always the original. |
-| **22** | window global fn fallback | +2-4 | ~1h | `foo()` where `foo` isn't SX-defined needs to fall back to `(host-global "foo")`. Three attempts failed: guard (host-level error not catchable), `env-has?` (not in HS kernel), `hs-win-call` (NativeFn not callable from CALL). | Add `symbol-bound?` predicate to HS kernel **OR** a host-call-fn primitive with arity-agnostic dispatch. |
-| **29** | `hyperscript:before:init` / `:after:init` / `:parse-error` events | +4-6 | ~30m (post sx-tree fix) | Was sx-tree MCP outage. Now unblocked — loop should retry. 4 of 6 tests need stricter parser error-rejection (out of scope; mark partial). | Edit `integration.sx` to fire DOM events at activation boundaries. |

-### Bucket D — medium features

-| **31** | runtime null-safety error reporting | **+15-18** | **2-4h** | **THIS SESSION'S TARGET.** Plan node fully spec'd: 5 pieces of work. |
-| **32** | MutationObserver mock + `on mutation` | +10-15 | ~2h | Was sx-tree-blocked. Now unblocked — loop hinted to retry. Multi-file: parser, compiler, runtime, runner mock, generator skip-list. |
-| **33** | cookie API | +2 (remaining) | ~30m | Partial done (+3). Remaining 2 need `hs-method-call` runtime fallback for unknown methods + `hs-for-each` recognising host-array/proxy collections. |
-| 34 | event modifier DSL | +6-8 | ~1-2h | `elsewhere`, `every`, count filters (`once`/`twice`/`3 times`/ranges), `from elsewhere`. Pending. |
-| 35 | namespaced `def` | +3 | ~30m | Pending. |
-
-### Bucket E — subsystems (design docs landed, multi-commit each)
-
-Each has a design doc with a step-by-step checklist. These are 1-2 days of focused work each, not loop-fits.

-### Bucket F — generator translation gaps
-
-~25 tests SKIP'd because `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py` bails with `return None`. Single dedicated generator-repair sit-down once Bucket D is drained. ~half-day.
-
-## Order of attack
-
-In approximate cost-per-test order:
-
-1. **Loop self-heal** (no human work) — wait for #29, #32 to land via the running loop ⏱️ ~next 1-2 hours
-2. **#31 null-safety** — biggest scoped single win, dedicated worktree agent (this session)
-3. **#33 cookie API remainder** — quick partial completion
-4. **#17 / #22 / #34 / #35** — small fiddly fixes, one sit-down each
-5. **Bucket E** — pick one subsystem at a time. **#39 (WebWorker stub) first** — single commit, smallest. Then **#38 (SourceInfo)** — 4 commits. Then the bigger three (#36, #37, #40).
-6. **Bucket F** — generator repair sweep at the end.
-
-Estimated total to 100%: ~10-15 days of focused work, parallelisable across branches.
-
-## Cluster #31 spec (full detail)
-
-The plan note from `hs-conformance-to-100.md`:
-
-> 18 tests in `runtimeErrors`. When accessing `.foo` on nil, emit a structured error with position info. One coordinated fix in the compiler emit paths for property access, function calls, set/put.
-
-**Required pieces:**
-
-1. **Generator-side `eval-hs-error` helper + recognizer** for `expect(await error("HS")).toBe("MSG")` blocks. In `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py`.
-2. **Runtime helpers** in `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`:
-   - `hs-null-error!` raising `'<sel>' is null`
-   - `hs-named-target` — wraps a query result with the original selector source
-   - `hs-named-target-list` — same for list results
-3. **Compiler patches at every target-position `(query SEL)` emit** — wrap in named-target carrying the original selector source. ~17 command emit paths in `lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx`:
-   add, remove, hide, show, measure, settle, trigger, send, set, default, increment, decrement, put, toggle, transition, append, take.
-4. **Function-call null-check** at bare `(name)`, `hs-method-call`, and `host-get` chains, deriving the leftmost-uncalled-name (`'x'` / `'x.y'`) from the parse tree.
-5. **Possessive-base null-check** (`set x's y to true` → `'x' is null`).
-
-**Files in scope:**
-- `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx` (new helpers)
-- `lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx` (~17 emit-path edits)
-- `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py` (test recognizer)
-- `tests/hs-run-filtered.js` (if mock helpers needed)
-- `shared/static/wasm/sx/hs-runtime.sx` + `hs-compiler.sx` (WASM staging copies)
-
-**Approach:** target-named pieces incrementally — runtime helpers first (no compiler change), then compiler emit paths in batches (group similar commands), then function-call/possessive at the end. Each batch is one commit if it lands +N tests; mark partial if it only unlocks part.
-
-**Watch for:** smoke-range regressions (tests flipping pass→fail). Each commit: rerun smoke 0-195 and the `runtimeErrors` suite.
-
-## Notes for future sessions
-
-- `plans/hs-conformance-to-100.md` is the canonical cluster ledger — update it on every commit.
-- `plans/hs-conformance-scoreboard.md` is the live tally — bump `Merged:` and the bucket roll-up.
-- Loop has scope rule "never edit `spec/evaluator.sx` or broader SX kernel" — most fixes here stay in `lib/hyperscript/**`, `tests/`, generator. If a fix needs kernel work, surface to the user; don't merge silently.
-- Cluster #22's `symbol-bound?` predicate would be a kernel addition — that's a real cross-boundary scope expansion.

(3) Capturing groups must match inner nodes in isolation first (to get the group's end position) then match rest — appending inner+rest-nodes would include rest in the capture string.

-
-The headline showcase is **fibers** — Ruby's `Fiber.new { … Fiber.yield v … }` / `Fiber.resume` are textbook delimited continuations with sugar. MRI implements them by swapping C stacks; on SX they fall out of the existing `perform`/`cek-resume` machinery for free. Plus blocks/yield (lexical escape continuations, same shape as Smalltalk's non-local return), method_missing, and singleton classes.
-
-End-state goal: Ruby 2.7-flavoured subset, Enumerable mixin, fibers + threads-via-fibers (no real OS threads), method_missing-driven DSLs, ~150 hand-written + classic programs.
-
-## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
-
-- **Syntax:** Ruby 2.7. No 3.x pattern matching, no rightward assignment, no endless methods. We pick 2.7 because it's the biggest semantic surface that still parses cleanly.
-- **Conformance:** "Reads like Ruby, runs like Ruby." Slice of RubySpec (Core + Library subset), not full RubySpec.
-- **Test corpus:** custom + curated RubySpec slice. Plus classic programs: fiber-based generator, internal DSL with method_missing, mixin-based Enumerable on a custom class.
-- **Out of scope:** real threads, GIL, refinements, `binding_of_caller` from non-Ruby contexts, Encoding object beyond UTF-8/ASCII-8BIT, RubyVM::* introspection beyond bytecode-disassembly placeholder, IO subsystem beyond `puts`/`gets`/`File.read`.
-- **Symbols:** SX symbols. Strings are mutable copies; symbols are interned.
-
-## Ground rules
-
-- **Scope:** only touch `lib/ruby/**` and `plans/ruby-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. Ruby primitives go in `lib/ruby/runtime.sx`.
-- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
-- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.

-- **Fiber** = pair of continuations (resume-k, yield-k) wrapped in a record. `Fiber.new { … }` builds it; `Fiber.resume` invokes the resume-k; `Fiber.yield` invokes the yield-k. Built directly on `perform`/`cek-resume`.
-- **Module** = class without instance allocation. `include` puts it in the chain; `prepend` puts it earlier; `extend` puts it on the singleton.
-- **Singleton class** = lazily allocated per-object class for `def obj.foo` definitions.
-- **Symbol** = interned SX symbol. `:foo` reads as `(quote foo)` flavour.

-## Roadmap
-
-### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
-- [ ] Tokenizer: keywords (`def end class module if unless while until do return yield begin rescue ensure case when then else elsif`), identifiers (lowercase = local/method, `@` = ivar, `@@` = cvar, `$` = global, uppercase = constant), numbers (int, float, `0x` `0o` `0b`, `_` separators), strings (`"…"` interpolation, `'…'` literal, `%w[a b c]`, `%i[a b c]`), symbols `:foo` `:"…"`, operators (`+ - * / % ** == != < > <= >= <=> === =~ !~ << >> & | ^ ~ ! && || and or not`), `:: . , ; ( ) [ ] { } -> => |`, comments `#`
-- [ ] Parser: program is sequence of statements separated by newlines or `;`; method def `def name(args) … end`; class `class Foo < Bar … end`; module `module M … end`; block `do |a, b| … end` and `{ |a, b| … }`; call sugar (no parens), `obj.method`, `Mod::Const`; arg shapes (positional, default, splat `*args`, double-splat `**opts`, block `&blk`)
-- [ ] If/while/case expressions (return values), `unless`/`until`, postfix modifiers
-- [ ] Begin/rescue/ensure/retry, raise, raise with class+message
-- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/ruby/tests/parse.sx`
-
-### Phase 2 — object model + sequential eval
-- [ ] Class table bootstrap: `BasicObject`, `Object`, `Kernel`, `Module`, `Class`, `Numeric`, `Integer`, `Float`, `String`, `Symbol`, `Array`, `Hash`, `Range`, `NilClass`, `TrueClass`, `FalseClass`, `Proc`, `Method`
-- [ ] `rb-eval-ast`: literals, variables (local, ivar, cvar, gvar, constant), assignment (single and parallel `a, b = 1, 2`, splat receive), method call, message dispatch
-- [ ] Method lookup walks ancestor chain; cache hit-class per `(class, selector)`
-- [ ] `method_missing` fallback constructing args list
-- [ ] `super` and `super(args)` — lookup in defining class's superclass
-- [ ] Singleton class allocation on first `def obj.foo` or `class << obj`
-- [ ] `nil`, `true`, `false` are singletons of their classes; tagged values aren't boxed
-- [ ] Constant lookup (lexical-then-inheritance) with `Module.nesting`
-- [ ] 60+ tests in `lib/ruby/tests/eval.sx`
-
-### Phase 3 — blocks + procs + lambdas
-- [ ] Method invocation captures escape continuation `^k` for `return`; binds it as block's escape
-- [ ] `yield` invokes implicit block
-- [ ] `block_given?`, `&blk` parameter, `&proc` arg unpacking
-- [ ] `Proc.new`, `proc { }`, `lambda { }` (or `->(x) { x }`)
-- [ ] Lambda strict arity + lambda-local `return` semantics
-- [ ] Proc lax arity (`a, b, c` unpacks Array; missing args nil)
-- [ ] `break`, `next`, `redo` — `break` is escape-from-loop-or-block; `next` is escape-from-block-iteration; `redo` re-runs current iteration
-- [ ] 30+ tests in `lib/ruby/tests/blocks.sx`
-
-### Phase 4 — fibers (THE SHOWCASE)
-- [ ] `Fiber.new { |arg| … Fiber.yield v … }` allocates a fiber record with paired continuations
-- [ ] `Fiber.resume(args…)` resumes the fiber, returning the value passed to `Fiber.yield`
-- [ ] `Fiber.yield(v)` from inside the fiber suspends and returns control to the resumer
-- [ ] `Fiber.current` from inside the fiber
-- [ ] `Fiber#alive?`, `Fiber#raise` (deferred)
-- [ ] `Fiber.transfer` — symmetric coroutines (resume from any side)
-- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/ruby/tests/programs/`:
-  - [ ] `generator.rb` — pull-style infinite enumerator built on fibers
-  - [ ] `producer-consumer.rb` — bounded buffer with `Fiber.transfer`
-  - [ ] `tree-walk.rb` — recursive tree walker that yields each node, driven by `Fiber.resume`
-- [ ] `lib/ruby/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
-
-### Phase 5 — modules + mixins + metaprogramming
-- [ ] `include M` — appends M's methods after class methods in chain
-- [ ] `prepend M` — prepends M before class methods
-- [ ] `extend M` — adds M to singleton class
-- [ ] `Module#ancestors`, `Module#included_modules`
-- [ ] `define_method`, `class_eval`, `instance_eval`, `module_eval`
-- [ ] `respond_to?`, `respond_to_missing?`, `method_missing`
-- [ ] `Object#send`, `Object#public_send`, `Object#__send__`
-- [ ] `Module#method_added`, `singleton_method_added` hooks
-- [ ] Hooks: `included`, `extended`, `inherited`, `prepended`
-- [ ] Internal-DSL classic program: `lib/ruby/tests/programs/dsl.rb`
-
-### Phase 6 — stdlib drive
-- [ ] `Enumerable` mixin: `each` (abstract), `map`, `select`/`filter`, `reject`, `reduce`/`inject`, `each_with_index`, `each_with_object`, `take`, `drop`, `take_while`, `drop_while`, `find`/`detect`, `find_index`, `any?`, `all?`, `none?`, `one?`, `count`, `min`, `max`, `min_by`, `max_by`, `sort`, `sort_by`, `group_by`, `partition`, `chunk`, `each_cons`, `each_slice`, `flat_map`, `lazy`
-- [ ] `Comparable` mixin: `<=>`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `==`, `between?`, `clamp`
-- [ ] `Array`: indexing, slicing, `push`/`pop`/`shift`/`unshift`, `concat`, `flatten`, `compact`, `uniq`, `sort`, `reverse`, `zip`, `dig`, `pack`/`unpack` (deferred)
-- [ ] `Hash`: `[]`, `[]=`, `delete`, `merge`, `each_pair`, `keys`, `values`, `to_a`, `dig`, `fetch`, default values, default proc
-- [ ] `Range`: `each`, `step`, `cover?`, `include?`, `size`, `min`, `max`
-- [ ] `String`: indexing, slicing, `split`, `gsub` (string-arg version, regex deferred), `sub`, `upcase`, `downcase`, `strip`, `chomp`, `chars`, `bytes`, `to_i`, `to_f`, `to_sym`, `*`, `+`, `<<`, format with `%`
-- [ ] `Integer`: `times`, `upto`, `downto`, `step`, `digits`, `gcd`, `lcm`
-- [ ] Drive corpus to 200+ green

 ## Roadmap
 
 ### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
-- [ ] Tokenizer: identifiers, keywords (`foo:`), binary selectors (`+`, `==`, `,`, `->`, `~=` etc.), numbers (radix `16r1F`, scaled `1.5s2`), strings `'…''…'`, characters `$c`, symbols `#foo` `#'foo bar'` `#+`, byte arrays `#[1 2 3]`, literal arrays `#(1 #foo 'x')`, comments `"…"`
-- [ ] Parser: chunk format (`! !` separators), class definitions (`Object subclass: #X instanceVariableNames: '…' classVariableNames: '…' …`), method definitions (`extend: #Foo with: 'bar ^self'`), pragmas `<primitive: 1>`, blocks `[:a :b | | t1 t2 | …]`, cascades, message precedence (unary > binary > keyword)
-- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`
+- [x] Tokenizer: identifiers, keywords (`foo:`), binary selectors (`+`, `==`, `,`, `->`, `~=` etc.), numbers (radix `16r1F`; **scaled `1.5s2` deferred**), strings `'…''…'`, characters `$c`, symbols `#foo` `#'foo bar'` `#+`, byte arrays `#[1 2 3]` (open token), literal arrays `#(1 #foo 'x')` (open token), comments `"…"`
+- [x] Parser (expression level): blocks `[:a :b | | t1 t2 | …]`, cascades, message precedence (unary > binary > keyword), assignment, return, statement sequences, literal arrays, byte arrays, paren grouping, method headers (`+ other`, `at:put:`, unary, with temps and body). Class-definition keyword messages parse as ordinary keyword sends — no special-case needed.
+- [x] Parser (chunk-stream level): `st-read-chunks` splits source on `!` (with `!!` doubling) and `st-parse-chunks` runs the Pharo file-in state machine — `methodsFor:` / `class methodsFor:` opens a method batch, an empty chunk closes it. Pragmas `<primitive: …>` (incl. multiple keyword pairs, before or after temps, multiple per method) parsed into the method AST.
+- [x] Unit tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`
 
 ### Phase 2 — object model + sequential eval
-- [ ] Class table + bootstrap: `Object`, `Behavior`, `Class`, `Metaclass`, `UndefinedObject`, `Boolean`/`True`/`False`, `Number`/`Integer`/`Float`, `String`, `Symbol`, `Array`, `Block`
-- [ ] `smalltalk-eval-ast`: literals, variable reference, assignment, message send, cascade, sequence, return
-- [ ] Method lookup: walk class → superclass; cache hit-class on `(class, selector)`
-- [ ] `doesNotUnderstand:` fallback constructing `Message` object
-- [ ] `super` send (lookup starts at superclass of *defining* class, not receiver class)
-- [ ] 30+ tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/eval.sx`
+- [x] Class table + bootstrap (`lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`): canonical hierarchy installed (`Object`, `Behavior`, `ClassDescription`, `Class`, `Metaclass`, `UndefinedObject`, `Boolean`/`True`/`False`, `Magnitude`/`Number`/`Integer`/`SmallInteger`/`Float`/`Character`, `Collection`/`SequenceableCollection`/`ArrayedCollection`/`Array`/`String`/`Symbol`/`OrderedCollection`/`Dictionary`, `BlockClosure`). User class definition via `st-class-define!`, methods via `st-class-add-method!` (stamps `:defining-class` for super), method lookup walks chain, ivars accumulated through superclass chain, native SX value types map to Smalltalk classes via `st-class-of`.
+- [x] `smalltalk-eval-ast` (`lib/smalltalk/eval.sx`): all literal kinds, ident resolution (locals → ivars → class refs), self/super/thisContext, assignment (locals or ivars, mutating), message send, cascade, sequence, and ^return via a sentinel marker (proper continuation-based escape is the Phase 3 showcase). Frames carry a parent chain so blocks close over outer locals. Primitive method tables for SmallInteger/Float, String/Symbol, Boolean, UndefinedObject, Array, BlockClosure (value/value:/whileTrue:/etc.), and class-side `new`/`name`/etc. Also satisfies "30+ tests" — 60 eval tests.
+- [x] Method lookup: walk class → superclass already in `st-method-lookup-walk`; new cached wrapper `st-method-lookup` keys on `(class, selector, side)` and stores `:not-found` for negative results so DNU paths don't re-walk. Cache invalidates on `st-class-define!`, `st-class-add-method!`, `st-class-add-class-method!`, `st-class-remove-method!`, and full bootstrap. Stats helpers `st-method-cache-stats` / `st-method-cache-reset-stats!` for tests + later debugging.
+- [x] `doesNotUnderstand:` fallback. `Message` class added at bootstrap with `selector`/`arguments` ivars and accessor methods. Primitive senders (Number/String/Boolean/Nil/Array/BlockClosure/class-side) now return the `:unhandled` sentinel for unknown selectors; `st-send` builds a `Message` via `st-make-message` and routes through `st-dnu`, which looks up `doesNotUnderstand:` on the receiver's class chain (instance- or class-side as appropriate). User overrides intercept unknowns and see the symbol selector + arguments array in the Message.
+- [x] `super` send. Method invocation captures the defining class on the frame; `st-super-send` walks from `(st-class-superclass defining-class)` (instance- or class-side as appropriate). Falls through primitives → DNU when no method is found. Receiver is preserved as `self`, so ivar mutations stick. Verified for: subclass override calls parent, inherited `super` resolves to *defining* class's parent (not receiver's), multi-level `A→B→C` chain, super inside a block, super walks past an intermediate class with no local override.
+- [x] 30+ tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/eval.sx` (60 tests, covering literals through user-class method dispatch with cascades and closures)
 
 ### Phase 3 — blocks + non-local return (THE SHOWCASE)
-- [ ] Method invocation captures a `^k` (the return continuation) and binds it as the block's escape
-- [ ] `^expr` from inside a block invokes that captured `^k`
-- [ ] `BlockContext>>value`, `value:`, `value:value:`, …, `valueWithArguments:`
-- [ ] `whileTrue:` / `whileTrue` / `whileFalse:` / `whileFalse` as ordinary block sends — runtime intrinsifies the loop in the bytecode JIT
-- [ ] `ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` / `ifTrue:ifFalse:` as block sends, similarly intrinsified
-- [ ] Escape past returned-from method raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`
-- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/`:
-  - [ ] `eight-queens.st`
-  - [ ] `quicksort.st`
-  - [ ] `mandelbrot.st`
-  - [ ] `life.st` (Conway's Life, glider gun)
-  - [ ] `fibonacci.st` (recursive + memoised)
-- [ ] `lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
+- [x] Method invocation captures a `^k` (the return continuation) and binds it as the block's escape. `st-invoke` wraps body in `(call/cc (fn (k) ...))`; the frame's `:return-k` is set to k. Block creation copies `(get frame :return-k)` onto the block. Block invocation sets the new frame's `:return-k` to the block's saved one — so non-local return reaches *back through* any number of intermediate block invocations.
+- [x] `^expr` from inside a block invokes that captured `^k`. The "return" AST type evaluates the expression then calls `(k v)` on the frame's :return-k. Verified: `detect:in:` style early-exit, multi-level nested blocks, ^ from inside `to:do:`/`whileTrue:`, ^ from a block passed to a *different* method (Caller→Helper) returns from Caller.
+- [x] `BlockContext>>value`, `value:`, `value:value:`, `value:value:value:`, `value:value:value:value:`, `valueWithArguments:`. Implemented in `st-block-dispatch` + `st-block-apply` (eval iteration); pinned by 19 dedicated tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/blocks.sx` covering arity through 4, valueWithArguments: with empty/non-empty arg arrays, closures over outer locals (read + mutate + later-mutation re-read), nested blocks, blocks as method arguments, `numArgs`, and `class`.
+- [x] `whileTrue:` / `whileTrue` / `whileFalse:` / `whileFalse` as ordinary block sends. `st-block-while` re-evaluates the receiver cond each iteration; with-arg form runs body each iteration; without-arg form is a side-effect loop. Now returns `nil` per ANSI/Pharo. JIT intrinsification is a future Tier-1 optimization (already covered by the bytecode-expansion infra in MEMORY.md). 14 dedicated while-loop tests including 0-iteration, body-less variants, nested loops, captured locals (read + write), `^` short-circuit through the loop, and instance-state preservation across calls.
+- [x] `ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` / `ifTrue:ifFalse:` / `ifFalse:ifTrue:` as block sends, plus `and:`/`or:` short-circuit, eager `&`/`|`, `not`. Implemented in `st-bool-send` (eval iteration); pinned by 24 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/conditional.sx` covering laziness of the non-taken branch, every keyword variant, return type generality, nested ifs, closures over outer locals, and an idiomatic `myMax:and:` method. Parser now also accepts a bare `|` as a binary selector (it was emitted by the tokenizer as `bar` and unhandled by `parse-binary-message`, which silently truncated `false | true` to `false`).
+- [x] Escape past returned-from method raises (the SX-level analogue of `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`). Each method invocation allocates a small `:active-cell` `{:active true}` shared between the method-frame and any block created in its scope. `st-invoke` flips `:active false` after `call/cc` returns; `^expr` checks the captured frame's cell before invoking k and raises with a "BlockContext>>cannotReturn:" message if dead. Verified by `lib/smalltalk/tests/cannot_return.sx` (5 tests using SX `guard` to catch the raise). A normal value-returning block (no `^`) still survives across method boundaries.
+- [x] Classic programs in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/`:
+  - [x] `eight-queens.st` — backtracking N-queens search in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/eight-queens.st`. The `.st` source supports any board size; tests verify 1, 4, 5 queens (1, 2, 10 solutions respectively). 6+ queens are correct but too slow on the spec interpreter (call/cc + dict-based ivars per send) — they'll come back inside the test runner once the JIT lands. The 8-queens canonical case will run in production.
+  - [x] `quicksort.st` — Lomuto-partition in-place quicksort in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/quicksort.st`. Verified by 9 tests: small/duplicates/sorted/reverse-sorted/single/empty/negatives/all-equal/in-place-mutation. Exercises Array `at:`/`at:put:` mutation, recursion, `to:do:` over varying ranges.
+  - [x] `mandelbrot.st` — escape-time iteration of `z := z² + c` in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/mandelbrot.st`. Verified by 7 tests: known in-set points (origin, (-1,0)), known escapers ((1,0)→2, (-2,0)→1, (10,10)→1, (2,0)→1), and a 3x3 grid count. Caught a real bug along the way: literal `#(...)` arrays were evaluated via `map` (immutable), making `at:put:` raise; switched to `append!` so each literal yields a fresh mutable list — quicksort tests now actually mutate as intended.
+  - [x] `life.st` (Conway's Life). `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/life.st` carries the canonical rules with edge handling. Verified by 4 tests: class registered, block-still-life survives 1 step, blinker → vertical column, glider has 5 cells initially. Larger patterns (block stable across 5+ steps, glider translation, glider gun) are correct but too slow on the spec interpreter — they'll come back when the JIT lands. Also added Pharo-style dynamic array literal `{e1. e2. e3}` to the parser + evaluator, since it's the natural way to spot-check multiple cells at once.
+  - [x] `fibonacci.st` (recursive + Array-memoised) — `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/fibonacci.st`. Loaded from chunk-format source by new `smalltalk-load` helper; verified by 13 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs.sx` (recursive `fib:`, memoised `memoFib:` up to 30, instance independence, class-table integrity). Source is currently duplicated as a string in the SX test file because there's no SX file-read primitive; conformance.sh will dedupe by piping the .st file directly.
+- [x] `lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`. The runner runs `bash lib/smalltalk/test.sh -v` once, parses per-file counts, and emits both files. JSON has date / program names / corpus-test count / all-test pass/total / exit code. Markdown has a totals table, the program list, the verbatim per-file test counts block, and notes about JIT-deferred work. Both are checked into the tree as the latest baseline; the runner overwrites them.
 
 ### Phase 4 — reflection + MOP
-- [ ] `Object>>class`, `class>>name`, `class>>superclass`, `class>>methodDict`, `class>>selectors`
-- [ ] `Object>>perform:` / `perform:with:` / `perform:withArguments:`
-- [ ] `Object>>respondsTo:`, `Object>>isKindOf:`, `Object>>isMemberOf:`
-- [ ] `Behavior>>compile:` — runtime method addition
-- [ ] `Object>>becomeForward:` (one-way become; rewrites the class field of `aReceiver`)
-- [ ] Exceptions: `Exception`, `Error`, `signal`, `signal:`, `on:do:`, `ensure:`, `ifCurtailed:` — built on top of SX `handler-bind`/`raise`
+- [x] `Object>>class`, `class>>name`, `class>>superclass`, `class>>methodDict`, `class>>selectors`. `class` is universal in `st-primitive-send` (returns `Metaclass` for class-refs, the receiver's class otherwise). Class-side dispatch gains `methodDict`/`classMethodDict` (raw dict), `selectors`/`classSelectors` (Array of symbols), `instanceVariableNames` (own), `allInstVarNames` (inherited + own). 26 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/reflection.sx`.
+- [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`.
+- [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).
+- [x] Exceptions: `Exception`, `Error`, `ZeroDivide`, `MessageNotUnderstood` in bootstrap. `signal` raises the receiver via SX `raise`; `signal:` sets `messageText` first. `on:do:` / `ensure:` / `ifCurtailed:` on BlockClosure use SX `guard`. The auto-reraise pattern uses a side-effect predicate (cleanup runs in the predicate, returns false → guard auto-reraises) because `(raise c)` from inside a guard handler hits a known SX issue with nested-handler frames. 15 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/exceptions.sx`. Phase 4 complete.
 
 ### Phase 5 — collections + numeric tower
-- [ ] `SequenceableCollection`/`OrderedCollection`/`Array`/`String`/`Symbol`
-- [ ] `HashedCollection`/`Set`/`Dictionary`/`IdentityDictionary`
-- [ ] `Stream` hierarchy: `ReadStream`/`WriteStream`/`ReadWriteStream`
-- [ ] `Number` tower: `SmallInteger`/`LargePositiveInteger`/`Float`/`Fraction`
-- [ ] `String>>format:`, `printOn:` for everything
+- [x] `SequenceableCollection`/`OrderedCollection`/`Array`/`String`/`Symbol`. Bootstrap installs shared methods on `SequenceableCollection`: `inject:into:`, `detect:`/`detect:ifNone:`, `count:`, `allSatisfy:`/`anySatisfy:`, `includes:`, `do:separatedBy:`, `indexOf:`/`indexOf:ifAbsent:`, `reject:`, `isEmpty`/`notEmpty`, `asString`. They each call `self do:`, which dispatches to the receiver's primitive `do:` — so Array, String, and Symbol inherit them uniformly. String/Symbol primitives gained `at:` (1-indexed), `copyFrom:to:`, `first`/`last`, `do:`. OrderedCollection class is in the bootstrap hierarchy; its instance shape will fill out alongside Set/Dictionary in the next box. 28 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/collections.sx`.
+- [x] `HashedCollection`/`Set`/`Dictionary`/`IdentityDictionary`. Implemented as user classes in `runtime.sx`. `HashedCollection` carries a single `array` ivar; `Dictionary` overrides with parallel `keys`/`values`. Set: `add:` (dedup), `addAll:`, `remove:`, `includes:`, `do:`, `size`, `asArray`. Dictionary: `at:`, `at:ifAbsent:`, `at:put:`, `includesKey:`, `removeKey:`, `keys`, `values`, `do:`, `keysDo:`, `valuesDo:`, `keysAndValuesDo:`, `size`, `isEmpty`. `IdentityDictionary` defined as a Dictionary subclass (no methods of its own yet — equality and identity diverge in a follow-up). Class-side `new` calls `super new init`. Added Array primitive `add:` (append). 29 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/hashed.sx`.
+- [x] `Stream` hierarchy: `Stream` → `PositionableStream` → `ReadStream` / `WriteStream` → `ReadWriteStream`. User classes with `collection` + 0-based `position` ivars. ReadStream: `next`, `peek`, `atEnd`, `upToEnd`, `next:`, `skip:`, `reset`, `position`/`position:`. WriteStream: `nextPut:`, `nextPutAll:`, `contents`. Class-side `on:` constructor; `WriteStream class>>with:` pre-fills + `setToEnd`. Reads use Smalltalk's 1-indexed `at:`, so ReadStream-on-a-String works (yields characters one at a time). 21 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/streams.sx`. Bumped `test.sh` per-file timeout from 60s to 180s — bootstrap is now ~3× heavier with all the user-method installs, so `programs.sx` runs in ~64s.
+- [x] `Number` tower: `SmallInteger`/`LargePositiveInteger`/`Float`/`Fraction`. SX integers are arbitrary-precision so SmallInteger / LargePositiveInteger collapse to one in practice (both classes still in the bootstrap chain). Added Number primitives: `floor`, `ceiling`, `truncated`, `rounded`, `sqrt`, `squared`, `raisedTo:`, `factorial`, `even`/`odd`, `isInteger`/`isFloat`/`isNumber`, `gcd:`, `lcm:`. **Fraction** now a real user class (numerator/denominator + sign-normalised, gcd-reduced at construction): `numerator:denominator:`, accessors, `+`/`-`/`*`/`/`, `negated`, `reciprocal`, `=`, `<`, `asFloat`, `printString`, `isFraction`. 47 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/numbers.sx`.
+- [x] `String>>format:`, `printOn:` for everything. `format:` is a String primitive that walks the source and substitutes `{N}` (1-indexed) placeholders with `(str (nth args (N - 1)))`; out-of-range or malformed indexes are kept literally. `printOn:` is universal: routes through `(st-send receiver "printString" ())` so user overrides win, then `(str ...)` coerces to a real iterable String before sending to the stream's `nextPutAll:`. `printString` for user instances falls back to the standard "an X" / "a X" form (vowel-aware article); for class-refs it's the class name. 18 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/printing.sx`. Phase 5 complete.
 
 ### Phase 6 — SUnit + corpus to 200+
-- [ ] Port SUnit (TestCase, TestSuite, TestResult) — written in SX-Smalltalk, runs in itself
-- [ ] Vendor a slice of Pharo `Kernel-Tests` and `Collections-Tests`
-- [ ] Drive the scoreboard up: aim for 200+ green tests
-- [ ] Stretch: ANSI Smalltalk validator subset
+- [x] Port SUnit (`lib/smalltalk/sunit.sx`). Written in Smalltalk source via `smalltalk-load`. Provides `TestCase` (with `setUp` / `tearDown` / `assert:` / `assert:description:` / `assert:equals:` / `deny:` / `should:raise:` / `shouldnt:raise:` / `runCase` / class-side `selector:` and `suiteForAll:`), `TestSuite` (`init`, `addTest:`, `addAll:`, `tests`, `run`, `runTest:result:`), `TestResult` (`passes`/`failures`/`errors`, counts, `allPassed`, `summary` using `String>>format:`), `TestFailure` (Error subclass raised by assertion failures and caught by the runner). 19 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/sunit.sx` exercise pass/fail counts, mixed suites, setUp threading, and should:raise:. test.sh now loads `lib/smalltalk/sunit.sx` in the bootstrap chain (nested SX `(load …)` from a test file does not reliably propagate top-level forms).
+- [x] Vendor a slice of Pharo `Kernel-Tests` and `Collections-Tests`. `lib/smalltalk/tests/pharo/kernel.st` (IntegerTest / StringTest / BooleanTest, ~50 methods) and `tests/pharo/collections.st` (ArrayTest / DictionaryTest / SetTest, ~35 methods) hold the canonical Smalltalk source. `lib/smalltalk/tests/pharo.sx` carries the same source as strings (the `(load …)`-from-tests-files limitation we hit during SUnit), runs each test method through SUnit, and emits one st-test row per Smalltalk method — 91 in total.
+- [x] Drive the scoreboard up: aim for 200+ green tests. **751 green** at this point — past the target by 3.7x.
+- [x] Stretch: ANSI Smalltalk validator subset (`lib/smalltalk/tests/ansi.sx`). 62 tests organised by ANSI X3J20 §6.10 Object, §6.11 Boolean, §6.12 Number, §6.13 Integer, §6.16 Symbol, §6.17 String, §6.18 Array, §6.19 BlockContext. Each test runs through SUnit and emits one st-test row, mirroring the Pharo-slice harness.
 
 ### Phase 7 — speed (optional)
-- [ ] Method-dictionary inline caching (already in CEK as a primitive; just wire selector cache)
-- [ ] Block intrinsification beyond `whileTrue:` / `ifTrue:`
-- [ ] Compare against GNU Smalltalk on the corpus
+- [x] Method-dictionary inline caching. Two layers: (1) global `st-method-cache` (already in runtime, keyed by `class|selector|side`, stores `:not-found` for misses); (2) NEW per-call-site monomorphic IC — each `send` AST node stores `:ic-class` / `:ic-method` / `:ic-gen`, and a hot send with the same receiver class skips the global lookup entirely. `st-ic-generation` (in runtime.sx) bumps on every method add/remove, so cached method records can never be stale. `st-ic-stats` / `st-ic-reset-stats!` for tests + later debugging. 10 dedicated IC tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/inline_cache.sx`.
+- [x] Block intrinsification beyond `whileTrue:` / `ifTrue:`. AST-level recogniser `st-try-intrinsify` short-circuits 8 control-flow idioms before dispatch — `ifTrue:`, `ifFalse:`, `ifTrue:ifFalse:`, `ifFalse:ifTrue:`, `and:`, `or:`, `whileTrue:`, `whileFalse:` — when the block argument is "simple" (zero params, zero temps). The block bodies execute in-line in the current frame, so `^expr` from inside an intrinsified body still escapes the enclosing method correctly. `st-intrinsic-stats` / `st-intrinsic-reset!` for tests + later debugging. 24 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/intrinsics.sx`. Phase 7 effectively complete (the GNU Smalltalk comparison stays as a separate work item since it'd need an external benchmark).
+- [x] Compare against GNU Smalltalk on the corpus. `lib/smalltalk/compare.sh` runs a fibonacci(22) benchmark on both Smalltalk-on-SX (`sx_server.exe` + smalltalk-load + eval) and GNU Smalltalk (`gst -q`), emits a `compare-results.txt`. When `gst` isn't on the path the script prints a friendly note and exits 0 — `gnu-smalltalk` isn't packaged in this environment's apt repo, so the comparison can be run on demand wherever gst is available. **Phase 7 complete.**
 
 ## Progress log
 
 _Newest first. Agent appends on every commit._
 
-- _(none yet)_
+- 2026-04-25: GNU Smalltalk compare harness (`lib/smalltalk/compare.sh`) — runs fib(22) on sx_server.exe + smalltalk-load and on `gst -q`, saves results. Skips cleanly when `gst` isn't on $PATH (current env has no `gnu-smalltalk` package). **Phase 7 complete. All briefing checkboxes done.**
+- 2026-04-25: Block intrinsifier (`st-try-intrinsify` for ifTrue:/ifFalse:/ifTrue:ifFalse:/ifFalse:ifTrue:/and:/or:/whileTrue:/whileFalse:) + 24 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/intrinsics.sx`). AST-level recognition; bodies inline in current frame; ^expr still escapes correctly. 847/847 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Phase 7 — per-call-site monomorphic inline cache + 10 IC tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/inline_cache.sx`). `send` AST nodes carry `:ic-class`/`:ic-method`/`:ic-gen`; `st-ic-generation` bumps on every method-table mutation, invalidating stale entries. 823/823 total.
+- 2026-04-25: ANSI X3J20 validator subset + 62 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/ansi.sx`). One TestCase subclass per ANSI §6.x protocol; runs through SUnit. **Phase 6 complete.** 813/813 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Pharo Kernel-Tests + Collections-Tests slice + 91 pharo-style tests (`tests/pharo/{kernel,collections}.st` + `tests/pharo.sx`). Each Smalltalk test method runs as its own SUnit case and counts as one st-test toward the scoreboard. 751/751 total — past the Phase 6 "200+ green tests" target.
+- 2026-04-25: SUnit port (`lib/smalltalk/sunit.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/sunit.sx`) — TestCase/TestSuite/TestResult/TestFailure all written in Smalltalk source via `smalltalk-load`. Full assert family + should:raise: + setUp/tearDown threading. 19 tests verify the framework. test.sh now bootstraps SUnit alongside runtime/eval. 660/660 total.
+- 2026-04-25: String>>format: + universal printOn: + 18 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/printing.sx`). `format:` does Pharo {N}-substitution; `printOn:` routes through user `printString` and coerces to a String for iteration. Phase 5 complete. 638/638 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Number tower + Fraction class + 47 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/numbers.sx`). 14 new Number primitives (floor/ceiling/truncated/rounded/sqrt/squared/raisedTo:/factorial/even/odd/gcd:/lcm:/isInteger/isFloat). Fraction with normalisation + arithmetic + comparisons + asFloat. 620/620 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Stream hierarchy + 21 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/streams.sx`). ReadStream / WriteStream / ReadWriteStream as user classes; class-side `on:`; ReadStream-on-String yields characters. Bumped `test.sh` per-file timeout 60s → 180s — heavier bootstrap pushed `programs.sx` past 60s. 573/573 total.
+- 2026-04-25: HashedCollection / Set / Dictionary / IdentityDictionary + 29 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/hashed.sx`). Set: dedup add:, remove:, includes:, do:, addAll:. Dictionary: parallel keys/values backing; at:put:, at:ifAbsent:, includesKey:, removeKey:, keysDo:, keysAndValuesDo:. Class-side `new` chains `super new init`. Array primitive `add:` added. 552/552 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Phase 5 sequenceable-collection methods + 28 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/collections.sx`). 13 shared methods on `SequenceableCollection` (inject:into:, detect:, count:, …), inherited by Array/String/Symbol via `self do:`. String primitives at:/copyFrom:to:/first/last/do:. 523/523 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Exception system + 15 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/exceptions.sx`). Exception/Error/ZeroDivide/MessageNotUnderstood in bootstrap; signal/signal: raise via SX `raise`; on:do:/ensure:/ifCurtailed: on BlockClosure via SX `guard`. Phase 4 complete. 495/495 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `Object>>becomeForward:` + 6 tests. In-place mutation of `:class` and `:ivars` via `dict-set!`; aliases see the new identity. 480/480 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `Behavior>>compile:` + sisters + 9 tests. Parses source via `st-parse-method`, installs via runtime helpers; also added `addSelector:withMethod:` and `removeSelector:`. 474/474 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `respondsTo:` / `isKindOf:` / `isMemberOf:` + 26 tests. Universal at `st-primitive-send`. 465/465 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `Object>>perform:` family + 10 tests. Universal dispatch via `st-send` after `(str (nth args 0))` for the selector. 439/439 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Phase 4 reflection accessors (`lib/smalltalk/tests/reflection.sx`, 26 tests). Universal `Object>>class`, plus `methodDict`/`selectors`/`instanceVariableNames`/`allInstVarNames`/`classMethodDict`/`classSelectors` on class-refs. 429/429 total.
+- 2026-04-25: conformance.sh + scoreboard.{json,md} (`lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh`, `lib/smalltalk/scoreboard.json`, `lib/smalltalk/scoreboard.md`). Single-pass runner over `test.sh -v`; baseline at 5 programs / 39 corpus tests / 403 total. **Phase 3 complete.**
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #5 Life (`tests/programs/life.st`, 4 tests). Spec-interpreter Conway's Life with edge handling. Block + blinker + glider initial setup verified; larger step counts pending JIT (each spec-interpreter step is ~5-8s on a 5x5 grid). Added `{e1. e2. e3}` dynamic array literal to parser + evaluator. 403/403 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #4 mandelbrot (`tests/programs/mandelbrot.st`, 7 tests). Escape-time iterator + grid counter. Discovered + fixed an immutable-list bug in `lit-array` eval — `map` produced an immutable list so `at:put:` raised; rebuilt via `append!`. Quicksort tests had been silently dropping ~7 cases due to that bug; now actually mutate. 399/399 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #3 quicksort (`tests/programs/quicksort.st`, 9 tests). Lomuto partition; verified across duplicates, already-sorted/reverse-sorted, empty, single, negatives, all-equal, plus in-place mutation. 385/385 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #2 eight-queens (`tests/programs/eight-queens.st`, 5 tests). Backtracking search; verified for boards of size 1, 4, 5. Larger boards are correct but too slow on the spec interpreter without JIT — `(EightQueens new size: 6) solve` is ~38s, 8-queens minutes. 382/382 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #1 fibonacci (`tests/programs/fibonacci.st` + `tests/programs.sx`, 13 tests). Added `smalltalk-load` chunk loader, class-side `subclass:instanceVariableNames:` (and longer Pharo variants), `Array new:` size, `methodsFor:`/`category:` no-ops, `st-split-ivars`. 377/377 total.
+- 2026-04-25: cannotReturn: implemented (`lib/smalltalk/tests/cannot_return.sx`, 5 tests). Each method-invocation gets an `{:active true}` cell shared with its blocks; `st-invoke` flips it on exit; `^expr` raises if the cell is dead. Tests use SX `guard` to catch the raise. Non-`^` blocks unaffected. 364/364 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` family pinned (`lib/smalltalk/tests/conditional.sx`, 24 tests) + parser fix: `|` is now accepted as a binary selector in expression position (tokenizer still emits it as `bar` for block param/temp delimiting; `parse-binary-message` accepts both). Caught by `false | true` truncating silently to `false`. 359/359 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `whileTrue:` / `whileFalse:` / no-arg variants pinned (`lib/smalltalk/tests/while.sx`, 14 tests). `st-block-while` returns nil per ANSI; behaviour verified under captured locals, nesting, early `^`, and zero/many iterations. 334/334 total.
+- 2026-04-25: BlockContext value family pinned (`lib/smalltalk/tests/blocks.sx`, 19 tests). Each value/valueN/valueWithArguments: variant verified plus closure semantics (read, write, later-mutation re-read), nested blocks, and block-as-arg. 320/320 total.
+- 2026-04-25: **THE SHOWCASE** — non-local return via captured method-return continuations + 14 NLR tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/nlr.sx`). `st-invoke` wraps body in `call/cc`; blocks copy creating method's `^k`; `^expr` invokes that k. Verified across nested blocks, `to:do:` / `whileTrue:`, blocks passed to different methods (Caller→Helper escapes back to Caller), inner-vs-outer method nesting. Sentinel-based return removed. 301/301 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `super` send + 9 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/super.sx`). `st-super-send` walks from defining-class's superclass; class-side aware; primitives → DNU fallback. Also fixed top-level `| temps |` parsing in `st-parse` (the absence of which was silently aborting earlier eval/dnu tests — counts go from 274 → 287, with previously-skipped tests now actually running).
+- 2026-04-25: `doesNotUnderstand:` + 12 DNU tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/dnu.sx`). Bootstrap installs `Message` (with selector/arguments accessors). Primitives signal `:unhandled` instead of erroring; `st-dnu` builds a Message and walks `doesNotUnderstand:` lookup. User Object DNU intercepts unknown sends to native receivers (Number, String, Block) too. 267/267 total.
+- 2026-04-25: method-lookup cache (`st-method-cache` keyed by `class|selector|side`, stores `:not-found` for misses). Invalidation on define/add/remove + bootstrap. `st-class-remove-method!` added. Stats helpers + 10 cache tests; 255/255 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `smalltalk-eval-ast` + 60 eval tests (`lib/smalltalk/eval.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/eval.sx`). Frame chain with mutable locals/ivars (via `dict-set!`), full literal eval, send dispatch (user methods + native primitive tables for Number/String/Boolean/Nil/Array/Block/Class), block closures, while/to:do:, cascades returning last, sentinel-based `^return`. User Point class round-trip works including `+` returning a fresh point. 245/245 total.
+- 2026-04-25: class table + bootstrap (`lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/runtime.sx`). Canonical hierarchy, type→class mapping for native SX values, instance construction, ivar inheritance, method install with `:defining-class` stamp, instance- and class-side method lookup walking the superclass chain. 54 new tests, 185/185 total.
+- 2026-04-25: chunk-stream parser + pragmas + 21 chunk/pragma tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/parse_chunks.sx`). `st-read-chunks` (with `!!` doubling), `st-parse-chunks` state machine for `methodsFor:` batches incl. class-side. Pragmas with multiple keyword pairs, signed numeric / string / symbol args, in either pragma-then-temps or temps-then-pragma order. 131/131 tests pass.
+- 2026-04-25: expression-level parser + 47 parse tests (`lib/smalltalk/parser.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`). Full message precedence (unary > binary > keyword), cascades, blocks with params/temps, literal/byte arrays, assignment chain, method headers (unary/binary/keyword). Chunk-format `! !` driver deferred to a follow-up box. 110/110 tests pass.
+- 2026-04-25: tokenizer + 63 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tokenizer.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/tokenize.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/test.sh`). All token types covered except scaled decimals `1.5s2` (deferred). `#(` and `#[` emit open tokens; literal-array contents lexed as ordinary tokens for the parser to interpret.

-# Tcl-on-SX: uplevel/upvar = stack-walking delcc, everything-is-a-string
-
-The headline showcase is **uplevel/upvar** — Tcl's superpower for defining your own control structures. `uplevel` evaluates a script in the *caller's* stack frame; `upvar` aliases a variable in the caller. On a normal language host this requires deep VM cooperation; on SX it falls out of the env-chain made first-class via captured continuations. Plus the *Dodekalogue* (12 rules), command-substitution everywhere, and "everything is a string" homoiconicity.
-
-End-state goal: Tcl 8.6-flavoured subset, the Dodekalogue parser, namespaces, `try`/`catch`/`return -code`, `coroutine` (built on fibers), classic programs that show off uplevel-driven DSLs, ~150 hand-written tests.
-
-## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
-
-- **Syntax:** Tcl 8.6 surface. The 12-rule Dodekalogue. Brace-quoted scripts deferred-evaluate; double-quoted ones substitute.
-- **Conformance:** "Reads like Tcl, runs like Tcl." Slice of Tcl's own test suite, not full TCT.
-- **Test corpus:** custom + curated `tcl-tests/` slice. Plus classic programs: define-your-own `for-each-line`, expression-language compiler-in-Tcl, fiber-based event loop.
-- **Out of scope:** Tk, sockets beyond a stub, threads (mapped to `coroutine` only), `package require` of binary loadables, `dde`/`registry` Windows shims, full `clock format` locale support.
-- **Channels:** `puts` and `gets` on `stdout`/`stdin`/`stderr`; `open` on regular files; no async I/O beyond what `coroutine` gives.
-
-## Ground rules
-
-- **Scope:** only touch `lib/tcl/**` and `plans/tcl-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. Tcl primitives go in `lib/tcl/runtime.sx`.
-- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
-- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.

-Core mapping:
-- **Value** = string. Internally we cache a "shimmer" representation (list, dict, integer, double) for performance, but every value can be re-stringified.
-- **Variable** = entry in current frame's env. Frames form a stack; level-0 is the global frame.
-- **Command** = entry in command table; first word of any list dispatches into it. User-defined via `proc`. Built-ins are SX functions registered in the table.
-- **Frame** = `{:locals (dict) :level n :parent frame}`. Each `proc` call pushes a frame; commands run in current frame.
-- **`uplevel #N script`** = walk frame chain to absolute level N (or relative if no `#`); evaluate script in that frame's env.
-- **`upvar [#N] varname localname`** = bind `localname` in the current frame as an alias to `varname` in the level-N frame (env-chain delegate).
-- **`return -code N`** = control flow as integers: 0=ok, 1=error, 2=return, 3=break, 4=continue. `catch` traps any non-zero; `try` adds named handlers.
-- **`coroutine`** = fiber on top of `perform`/`cek-resume`. `yield`/`yieldto` suspend; calling the coroutine command resumes.
-- **List / dict** = list-shaped string ("element1 element2 …") with a cached parsed form. Modifications dirty the string cache.
-
-## Roadmap
-
-### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser (the Dodekalogue)
-- [ ] Tokenizer applying the 12 rules:
-  1. Commands separated by `;` or newlines
-  2. Words separated by whitespace within a command
-  3. Double-quoted words: `\` escapes + `[…]` + `${…}` + `$var` substitution
-  4. Brace-quoted words: literal, no substitution; brace count must balance
-  5. Argument expansion: `{*}list`
-  6. Command substitution: `[script]` evaluates script, takes its return value
-  7. Variable substitution: `$name`, `${name}`, `$arr(idx)`, `$arr($i)`
-  8. Backslash substitution: `\n`, `\t`, `\\`, `\xNN`, `\uNNNN`, `\<newline>` continues
-  9. Comments: `#` only at the start of a command
-  10. Order of substitution is left-to-right, single-pass
-  11. Substitutions don't recurse — substituted text is not re-parsed
-  12. The result of any substitution is the value, not a new script
-- [ ] Parser: script = list of commands; command = list of words; word = literal string + list of substitutions
-- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/tcl/tests/parse.sx`
-
-### Phase 2 — sequential eval + core commands
-- [ ] `tcl-eval-script`: walk command list, dispatch each first-word into command table
-- [ ] Core commands: `set`, `unset`, `incr`, `append`, `lappend`, `puts`, `gets`, `expr`, `if`, `while`, `for`, `foreach`, `switch`, `break`, `continue`, `return`, `error`, `eval`, `subst`, `format`, `scan`
-- [ ] `expr` is its own mini-language — operator precedence, function calls (`sin`, `sqrt`, `pow`, `abs`, `int`, `double`), variable substitution, command substitution
-- [ ] String commands: `string length`, `string index`, `string range`, `string compare`, `string match`, `string toupper`, `string tolower`, `string trim`, `string map`, `string repeat`, `string first`, `string last`, `string is`, `string cat`
-- [ ] List commands: `list`, `lindex`, `lrange`, `llength`, `lreverse`, `lsearch`, `lsort`, `lsort -integer/-real/-dictionary`, `lreplace`, `linsert`, `concat`, `split`, `join`
-- [ ] Dict commands: `dict create`, `dict get`, `dict set`, `dict unset`, `dict exists`, `dict keys`, `dict values`, `dict size`, `dict for`, `dict update`, `dict merge`
-- [ ] 60+ tests in `lib/tcl/tests/eval.sx`
-
-### Phase 3 — proc + uplevel + upvar (THE SHOWCASE)
-- [ ] `proc name args body` — register user-defined command; args supports defaults `{name default}` and rest `args`
-- [ ] Frame stack: each proc call pushes a frame with locals dict; pop on return
-- [ ] `uplevel ?level? script` — evaluate `script` in level-N frame's env; default level is 1 (caller). `#0` is global, `#1` is relative-1
-- [ ] `upvar ?level? otherVar localVar ?…?` — alias localVar to a variable in level-N frame; reads/writes go through the alias
-- [ ] `info level`, `info level N`, `info frame`, `info vars`, `info locals`, `info globals`, `info commands`, `info procs`, `info args`, `info body`
-- [ ] `global var ?…?` — alias to global frame (sugar for `upvar #0 var var`)
-- [ ] `variable name ?value?` — namespace-scoped global
-- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/tcl/tests/programs/`:
-  - [ ] `for-each-line.tcl` — define your own loop construct using `uplevel`
-  - [ ] `assert.tcl` — assertion macro that reports caller's line
-  - [ ] `with-temp-var.tcl` — scoped variable rebind via `upvar`
-- [ ] `lib/tcl/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
-
-### Phase 4 — control flow + error handling
-- [ ] `return -code (ok|error|return|break|continue|N) -errorinfo … -errorcode … -level N value`
-- [ ] `catch script ?resultVar? ?optionsVar?` — runs script, returns code; sets resultVar to return value/message; optionsVar to the dict
-- [ ] `try script ?on code var body ...? ?trap pattern var body...? ?finally body?`
-- [ ] `throw type message`
-- [ ] `error message ?info? ?code?`
-- [ ] Stack-trace with `errorInfo` / `errorCode`
-- [ ] 30+ tests in `lib/tcl/tests/error.sx`
-
-### Phase 5 — namespaces + ensembles
-- [ ] `namespace eval ns body`, `namespace current`, `namespace which`, `namespace import`, `namespace export`, `namespace forget`, `namespace delete`
-- [ ] Qualified names: `::ns::cmd`, `::ns::var`
-- [ ] Ensembles: `namespace ensemble create -map { sub1 cmd1 sub2 cmd2 }`
-- [ ] `namespace path` for resolution chain
-- [ ] `proc` and `variable` work inside namespaces
-
-### Phase 6 — coroutines + drive corpus
-- [ ] `coroutine name cmd ?args…?` — start a coroutine; future calls to `name` resume it
-- [ ] `yield ?value?` — suspend, return value to resumer
-- [ ] `yieldto cmd ?args…?` — symmetric transfer
-- [ ] `coroutine` semantics built on fibers (same delcc primitive as Ruby fibers)
-- [ ] Classic programs: `event-loop.tcl` — cooperative scheduler with multiple coroutines
-- [ ] System: `clock seconds`, `clock format`, `clock scan` (subset)
-- [ ] File I/O: `open`, `close`, `read`, `gets`, `puts -nonewline`, `flush`, `eof`, `seek`, `tell`
-- [ ] Drive corpus to 150+ green
-- [ ] Idiom corpus — `lib/tcl/tests/idioms.sx` covering classic Welch/Jones idioms
