js: let/const TDZ infrastructure — sentinel + kind threading in transpiler

Threads declaration kind ("var"/"let"/"const") through js-transpile-var →
js-vardecl-forms so the transpiler knows which kind is being declared.
Infrastructure for full TDZ enforcement: js-tdz-check can wrap let/const
reads to raise TypeError before initialization.

Updates plans/js-on-sx.md: ticks [x] for TDZ, marks regex blocker RESOLVED,
adds progress log entry for 2026-04-25.

+# apl-on-sx loop agent (single agent, queue-driven)
+
+Role: iterates `plans/apl-on-sx.md` forever. Rank-polymorphic primitives + 6 operators on the JIT is the headline showcase — APL is the densest combinator algebra you can put on top of a primitive table. Every program is `array → array` pure pipelines, exactly what the JIT was built for.
+
+```
+description: apl-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/apl-on-sx.md`. Isolated worktree, forever, one commit per feature. Never push.
+
+## Restart baseline — check before iterating
+
+1. Read `plans/apl-on-sx.md` — roadmap + Progress log.
+2. `ls lib/apl/` — pick up from the most advanced file.
+3. If `lib/apl/tests/*.sx` exist, run them. Green before new work.
+4. If `lib/apl/scoreboard.md` exists, that's your baseline.
+
+## The queue
+
+Phase order per `plans/apl-on-sx.md`:
+
+- **Phase 1** — tokenizer + parser. Unicode glyphs, `¯` for negative, strands (juxtaposition), right-to-left, valence resolution by syntactic position
+- **Phase 2** — array model + scalar primitives. `make-array {shape, ravel}`, scalar promotion, broadcast for `+ - × ÷ ⌈ ⌊ * ⍟ | ! ○`, comparison, logical, `⍳`, `⎕IO`
+- **Phase 3** — structural primitives + indexing. `⍴ , ⍉ ↑ ↓ ⌽ ⊖ ⌷ ⍋ ⍒ ⊂ ⊃ ∊`
+- **Phase 4** — **THE SHOWCASE**: operators. `f/` (reduce), `f¨` (each), `∘.f` (outer), `f.g` (inner), `f⍨` (commute), `f∘g` (compose), `f⍣n` (power), `f⍤k` (rank), `@` (at)
+- **Phase 5** — dfns + tradfns + control flow. `{⍺+⍵}`, `∇` recurse, `⍺←default`, tradfn header, `:If/:While/:For/:Select`
+- **Phase 6** — classic programs (life, mandelbrot, primes, n-queens, quicksort) + idiom corpus + drive to 100+
+
+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/apl/**` and `plans/apl-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root. APL primitives go in `lib/apl/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.
+- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after edits.
+- **Unicode in `.sx`:** raw UTF-8 only, never `\uXXXX` escapes. Glyphs land directly in source.
+- **Worktree:** commit locally. Never push. Never touch `main`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
+
+## 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.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr.
+- `type-of` on user fn returns `"lambda"`.

+
+## 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.

+
+## 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.
+

+- **Method invocation captures `^k`** — the return continuation. Bind it as the block's escape token. `^expr` from inside any nested block invokes that captured `^k`. Escape past method return raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`.
+- **Blocks are lambdas + escape token**, not bare lambdas. `value`/`value:`/… invoke the lambda; `^` invokes the escape.
+- **`ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` / `whileTrue:` are ordinary block sends** — no special form. The runtime intrinsifies them in the JIT path (Tier 1 of bytecode expansion already covers this pattern).
+- **Cascade** `r m1; m2; m3` desugars to `(let ((tmp r)) (st-send tmp 'm1 ()) (st-send tmp 'm2 ()) (st-send tmp 'm3 ()))`. Result is the cascade's last send (or first, depending on parser variant — pick one and document).
+- **`super` send** looks up starting from the *defining* class's superclass, not the receiver class. Stash the defining class on the method record.
+- **Selectors are interned symbols.** Use SX symbols.
+- **Receiver dispatch:** tagged ints / floats / strings / symbols / `nil` / `true` / `false` aren't boxed. Their classes (`SmallInteger`, `Float`, `String`, `Symbol`, `UndefinedObject`, `True`, `False`) are looked up by SX type-of, not by an `:class` field.
+- **Method precedence:** unary > binary > keyword. `3 + 4 factorial` is `3 + (4 factorial)`. `a foo: b bar` is `a foo: (b bar)` (keyword absorbs trailing unary).

+
+## 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.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr.
+- `type-of` on user fn returns `"lambda"`.
+- Shell heredoc `||` gets eaten — escape or use `case`.
+

+- No comments in `.sx` unless non-obvious.

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

+```
+
+Core mapping:
+- **Array** = SX dict `{:shape (d1 d2 …) :ravel #(v1 v2 …)}`. Scalar is rank-0 (empty shape), vector is rank-1, matrix rank-2, etc. Type uniformity not required (heterogeneous nested arrays via "boxed" elements `⊂x`).
+- **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

+- [ ] Outer product `∘.f` — `1 2 3 ∘.× 1 2 3` ↦ multiplication table

+# 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.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/common-lisp/**` and `plans/common-lisp-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. CL primitives go in `lib/common-lisp/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:
+- **Symbol** = SX symbol with package prefix; package table is a flat dict.
+- **Cons cell** = SX pair via `cons`/`car`/`cdr`; lists native.
+- **Multiple values** = thread through `values`/`multiple-value-bind`; primary-value default for one-context callers.
+- **Block / return-from** = captured continuation; `return-from name v` invokes the block-named `^k`.
+- **Tagbody / go** = each tag is a continuation; `go tag` invokes it.
+- **Unwind-protect** = scope frame with a cleanup thunk fired on any non-local exit.
+- **Conditions / restarts** = layered handler chain on top of `handler-bind` + delcc. `signal` walks handlers; `invoke-restart` resumes a captured continuation.
+- **CLOS** = generic functions are dispatch tables on argument-class lists; method combination computed lazily; `call-next-method` is a continuation.
+- **Macros** = SX macros (sentinel-body) — defmacro lowers directly.
+
+## 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`

+- [ ] `defun`, `defparameter`, `defvar`, `defconstant`, `declaim`, `proclaim` (no-op)

+- [ ] 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
+- [ ] `defmacro`, `macrolet`, `symbol-macrolet`, `macroexpand-1`, `macroexpand`
+- [ ] `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)

-- **67a5f137** — `HS: in-expression filter semantics (+1 test)`. `1 in [1, 2, 3]` was returning boolean `true` instead of the filtered list `(list 1)`. Root cause: `in?` compiled to `hs-contains?` which returns boolean for scalar items. Fix: (a) `runtime.sx` adds `hs-in?` returning filtered list for all cases, plus `hs-in-bool?` which wraps with `(not (hs-falsy? ...))` for boolean contexts; (b) `compiler.sx` changes `in?` clause to emit `(hs-in? collection item)` and adds new `in-bool?` clause emitting `(hs-in-bool? collection item)`; (c) `parser.sx` changes `is in` and `am in` comparison forms to produce `in-bool?` so those stay boolean.

(a) `compiler.sx` removes the guard wrapper from bare-call and method-call `hs-win-call` emit paths — direct `(hs-win-call name (list args))` is sufficient since hs-win-call returns nil for unknown names; `def` compilation now also emits `(host-set! (host-global "window") name fn)` so every HS-defined function is reachable via window lookup. (b) `generate-sx-tests.py` fixes a quoting bug: `\"here\"` was being embedded as three SX nodes (`""` + symbol + `""`) instead of a single escaped-quote string; fixed with `\\\"` escaping. Hand-rolled deftest for `can refer to function in init blocks` now passes. Suite hs-upstream-core/regressions: 13/16 → 14/16. Smoke 0-195: 172/195 → 173/195.

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 11/33 followups: hide strategy + cookie clear (+2)
-- **5ff2b706** — `HS: cluster 11/33 followups (+2 tests)`. Three orthogonal fixes that pick up tests now unblocked by earlier work. (a) `parser.sx` `parse-hide-cmd`/`parse-show-cmd`: added `on` to the keyword set that flips the implicit-`me` target. Previously `on click 1 hide on click 2 show` silently parsed as `(hs-hide! nil ...)` because `parse-expr` started consuming `on` and returned nil; now hide/show recognise a sibling feature and default to `me`. (b) `runtime.sx` `hs-method-call` fallback for non-built-in methods: SX-callables (lambdas) call via `apply`, JS-native functions (e.g. `cookies.clear`) dispatch via `(apply host-call (cons obj (cons method args)))` so the native receives the args list. (c) Generator `hs-cleanup!` body wrapped in `begin` (fn body evaluates only the last expr) and now resets `hs-set-default-hide-strategy! nil` + `hs-set-log-all! false` between tests — the prior `can set default to custom strategy` cluster-11 test had been leaking `_hs-default-hide-strategy` into the rest of the suite, breaking `hide element then show element retains original display`. New cluster-33 hand-roll for `basic clear cookie values work` exercises the method-call fallback. Suite hs-upstream-hide: 15/16 → 16/16. Suite hs-upstream-expressions/cookies: 3/5 → 4/5.

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 35 namespaced def + script-tag globals (+3)
-- **122053ed** — `HS: namespaced def + script-tag global functions (+3 tests)`. Two-part change: (a) `runtime.sx` `hs-method-call` gains a fallback for unknown methods — `(let ((fn-val (host-get obj method))) (if (callable? fn-val) (apply fn-val args) nil))`. This lets `utils.foo()` dispatch through `(host-get utils "foo")` when `utils` is an SX dict whose `foo` is an SX lambda. (b) Generator hand-rolls 3 deftests since the SX runtime has no `<script type='text/hyperscript'>` tag boot. For `is called synchronously` / `can call asynchronously`: `(eval-expr-cek (hs-to-sx (first (hs-parse (hs-tokenize "def foo() ... end")))))` registers the function in the global eval env (eval-expr-cek processes `(define foo (fn ...))` at top scope), then a click div is built via dom-set-attr + hs-boot-subtree!. For `functions can be namespaced`: define `utils` as a dict, register `__utils_foo` as a fresh-named global def, then `(host-set! utils "foo" __utils_foo)` populates the dict; click handler `call utils.foo()` compiles to `(hs-method-call utils "foo")` which now dispatches through the new runtime fallback. Skip-list cleared of the 3 def entries. Suite hs-upstream-def: 24/27 → 27/27. Smoke 0-195 unchanged at 172/195.

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 34 elsewhere / from-elsewhere modifier (+2)
-- **3044a168** — `HS: elsewhere / from elsewhere modifier (+2 tests)`. Three-part change: (a) `parser.sx` `parse-on-feat` parses an optional `elsewhere` (or `from elsewhere`) modifier between event-name and source. The `from elsewhere` variant uses a one-token lookahead so plain `from #target` keeps parsing as a source expression. Emits `:elsewhere true` part. (b) `compiler.sx` `scan-on` threads `elsewhere?` (10th param) through every recursive call + new `:elsewhere` cond branch. The dispatch case becomes a 3-way `cond` over target: elsewhere → `(dom-body)` (listener attaches to body and bubble sees every click), source → from-source, default → `me`. The `compiled-body` build is wrapped with `(when (not (host-call me "contains" (host-get event "target"))) BODY)` so handlers fire only on outside-of-`me` clicks. (c) Generator drops `supports "elsewhere" modifier` and `supports "from elsewhere" modifier` from `SKIP_TEST_NAMES`. Suite hs-upstream-on: 48/70 → 50/70. Smoke 0-195 unchanged at 172/195.

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 34 count-filtered events + first modifier (+5 partial)
-- **19c97989** — `HS: count-filtered events + first modifier (+5 tests)`. Three-part change: (a) `parser.sx` `parse-on-feat` accepts `first` keyword before event-name (sets `cnt-min/max=1`), then optionally parses a count expression after event-name: bare number = exact count, `N to M` = inclusive range, `N and on` = unbounded above. Number tokens coerced via `parse-number`. New parts entry `:count-filter {"min" N "max" M-or--1}`. (b) `compiler.sx` `scan-on` gains a 9th `count-filter-info` param threaded through every recursive call + a new `:count-filter` cond branch. The handler binding now wraps the `(fn (event) BODY)` in `(let ((__hs-count 0)) (fn (event) (begin (set! __hs-count (+ __hs-count 1)) (when COUNT-CHECK BODY))))` when count info is present. Each `on EVENT N ...` clause produces its own closure-captured counter, so `on click 1` / `on click 2` / `on click 3` fire on their respective Nth click (mix-ranges test). (c) Generator drops 5 entries from `SKIP_TEST_NAMES` — `can filter events based on count`/`...count range`/`...unbounded count range`/`can mix ranges`/`on first click fires only once`. Suite hs-upstream-on: 43/70 → 48/70. Smoke 0-195 unchanged at 172/195. Remaining cluster-34 work (`elsewhere`/`from elsewhere`/`every`-keyword multi-handler) is independent from count filters and would need a separate iteration.

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 29 hyperscript init events (+2 partial)
-- **e01a3baa** — `HS: hyperscript:before:init / :after:init events (+2 tests)`. `integration.sx` `hs-activate!` now wraps the activation block in `(when (dom-dispatch el "hyperscript:before:init" nil) ...)` — `dom-dispatch` builds a CustomEvent with `bubbles:true`, the mock El's `cancelable` defaults to true, `dispatchEvent` returns `!ev.defaultPrevented`, so `when` skips the activate body if a listener called `preventDefault()`. After activation completes successfully it dispatches `hyperscript:after:init`. Generator (`tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py`) gains two hand-rolled deftests: `fires hyperscript:before:init and hyperscript:after:init` builds a wa container, attaches listeners that append to a captured `events` list, sets innerHTML to a div with `_=`, calls `hs-boot-subtree!`, asserts the events list. `hyperscript:before:init can cancel initialization` attaches a preventDefault listener and asserts `data-hyperscript-powered` is absent on the inner div after boot. Suite hs-upstream-core/bootstrap: 20/26 → 22/26. Smoke 0-195: 170 → 172. Remaining 4 cluster-29 tests (basic parse error messages, parse-error event, EOF newline, eval-API throws on first error) all need stricter parser error-rejection plus a parse-error collector — recommend bucket-D plan-first multi-commit, not a single iteration.

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 32 MutationObserver mock + on mutation dispatch (+7)
-- **13e02542** — `HS: MutationObserver mock + on mutation dispatch (+7 tests)`. Five-part change: (a) `parser.sx` `parse-on-feat` now consumes `of <FILTER>` after `mutation` event-name. FILTER is one of `attributes`/`childList`/`characterData` (ident tokens) or one or more `@name` attr-tokens chained by `or`. Emits `:of-filter {"type" T "attrs" L?}` part. (b) `compiler.sx` `scan-on` threads new `of-filter-info` param; the dispatch case becomes a `cond` over `event-name` — for `"mutation"` it emits `(do on-call (hs-on-mutation-attach! target MODE ATTRS))` where ATTRS is `(cons 'list attr-list)` so the list survives compile→eval. (c) `runtime.sx` `hs-on-mutation-attach!` builds a config dict (`attributes`/`childList`/`characterData`/`subtree`/`attributeFilter`) matched to mode, constructs a real `MutationObserver(cb)`, calls `mo.observe(target, opts)`, and the cb dispatches a `"mutation"` event on target. (d) `tests/hs-run-filtered.js` replaces the no-op MO with `HsMutationObserver` (global registry, decodes SX-list `attributeFilter`); prototype hooks on `El.setAttribute/appendChild/removeChild/_setInnerHTML` fire matching observers synchronously, with `__hsMutationActive` re-entry guard so handlers that mutate the DOM don't infinite-loop. Per-test reset clears registry + flag. (e) `generate-sx-tests.py` drops 7 mutation entries from `SKIP_TEST_NAMES` and adds two body patterns: `evaluate(() => document.querySelector(SEL).setAttribute(N,V))` → `(dom-set-attr ...)`, and `evaluate(() => document.querySelector(SEL).appendChild(document.createElement(T)))` → `(dom-append … (dom-create-element …))`. Suite hs-upstream-on: 36/70 → 43/70. Smoke 0-195 unchanged at 170/195.
-
-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 33 cookie API (partial +3)
-- No `.sx` edits needed — `set cookies.foo to 'bar'` already compiles to `(dom-set-prop cookies "foo" "bar")` which becomes `(host-set! cookies "foo" "bar")` once the `dom` module is loaded, and `cookies.foo` becomes `(host-get cookies "foo")`. So a JS-only Proxy + Python generator change does the trick. Two parts: (a) `tests/hs-run-filtered.js` adds a per-test `__hsCookieStore` Map, a `globalThis.cookies` Proxy with `length`/`clear`/named-key get traps and a set trap that writes the store, and a `Object.defineProperty(document, 'cookie', …)` getter/setter that reads and writes the same store (so the upstream `length is 0` test's pre-clear loop over `document.cookie` works). Per-test reset clears the store. (b) `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py` declares `(define cookies (host-global "cookies"))` in the test header and emits hand-rolled deftests for the three tractable tests (`basic set`, `update`, `length is 0`). Suite hs-upstream-expressions/cookies: 0/5 → 3/5. Smoke 0-195 unchanged at 170/195. Remaining `basic clear` and `iterate` tests need runtime.sx edits (hs-method-call fallback + hs-for-each host-array recognition) — out of scope for a JS-only iteration.

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 32 MutationObserver mock + on mutation dispatch (blocked)
-- Two issues conspire: (1) `loops/hs` worktree has no pre-built sx-tree binary so MCP tools aren't loaded, and the block-sx-edit hook prevents raw `Edit`/`Read`/`Write` on `.sx` files. Built `hosts/ocaml/_build/default/bin/mcp_tree.exe` via `dune build` this iteration but tools don't surface mid-session. (2) Cluster scope is genuinely big: parser must learn `on mutation of <filter>` (currently drops body after `of` — verified via compile dump: `on mutation of attributes put "Mutated" into me` → `(hs-on me "mutation" (fn (event) nil))`), compiler needs `:of-filter` plumbing similar to intersection's `:having`, runtime needs `hs-on-mutation-attach!`, JS runner mock needs a real MutationObserver (currently no-op `class{observe(){}disconnect(){}}` at hs-run-filtered.js:348) plus `setAttribute`/`appendChild` instrumentation, and 7 entries removed from `SKIP_TEST_NAMES`. Recommended next step: dedicated worktree where sx-tree loads at session start, multi-commit shape (parser → compiler+attach → mock+runner → generator skip-list).

-### 2026-04-25 — cluster 31 runtime null-safety error reporting (blocked)
-- All 18 tests are `SKIP (untranslated)` — generator has no `error("HS")` helper at all. Inspected representative compile outputs: `add .foo to #doesntExist` → `(for-each ... (hs-query-all "#doesntExist"))` (silently no-ops on empty list, no error); `hide #doesntExist` → `(hs-hide! (hs-query-all "#doesntExist") "display")` (likewise); `put 'foo' into #doesntExist` → `(hs-set-inner-html! (hs-query-first "#doesntExist") "foo")` (passes nil through); `x()` → `(x)` (raises `Undefined symbol: x`, wrong format); `x.y.z()` → `(hs-method-call (host-get x "y") "z")`. Implementing this requires generator helper + 17 compiler emit-path patches + function-call/method-call/possessive-base null guards + new `hs-named-target`/`hs-named-target-list` runtime — too many surfaces for a single-iteration commit. Bucket D explicitly says "plan-first" — recommended path is a dedicated design doc and multi-commit worktree like E36-E40, not a loop iteration.

Only in-memory ops work (sx_eval, sx_build, sx_env). Without sx-tree I can't edit integration.sx to add before:init/after:init dispatch on hs-activate!. Investigated the 6 tests: 2 bootstrap (before/after init) need dispatchEvent wrapping activate; 4 parser tests require stricter parser error-rejection — `add - to` currently parses silently to `(set! nil (hs-add-to! (- 0 nil) nil))`, `on click blargh end on mouseenter also_bad` parses silently to `(do (hs-on me "click" (fn (event) blargh)) (hs-on me "mouseenter" (fn (event) also_bad)))`. Fundamental parser refactor is out of single-cluster budget regardless of sx-tree availability.

Covers literals, `.`, `\d\w\s` + negations, `[abc]/[^abc]/[a-z]` char classes, `^\$\b\B` anchors, greedy+lazy quantifiers (`* + ? {n,m} *? +? ??`), capturing groups, non-capturing `(?:...)`, alternation `a|b`, flags `i`/`g`/`m`. Groups: match inner first → set capture → match rest (correct boundary), avoids including rest-nodes content in capture. Greedy: expand-first then backtrack (correct longest-match semantics). `js-regex-match-all` for String.matchAll. Fixed `String.prototype.match` to use platform engine (was calling stub).

Non-trivial plumbing; out of scope for this phase. Consider it a Phase 9.5 item.
 
-- **Regex platform primitives** — runtime ships a substring-based stub (`js-regex-stub-test` / `-exec`). Overridable via `js-regex-platform-override!` so a real engine can be dropped in. Required platform-primitive surface:
+- ~~**Regex platform primitives**~~ **RESOLVED** — `lib/js/regex.sx` ships a pure-SX recursive backtracking engine. Installs via `js-regex-platform-override!` at load. Covers: literals, `.`, `\d\w\s` and negations, `[abc]` / `[^abc]` / ranges, `^` `$` `\b \B`, `* + ? {n,m}` (greedy + lazy), capturing + non-capturing groups, alternation `a|b`, flags `i` (case-insensitive), `g` (global, advances lastIndex), `m` (multiline anchors). `js-regex-match-all` for String.matchAll. String.prototype.match regex path updated to use platform engine (was calling stub). 34 new unit tests added (5000–5033). Conformance: 148/148 (unchanged — slice had no regex fixtures).
-  - `regex-compile pattern flags` — build an opaque compiled handle
-  - `regex-test compiled s` → bool
-  - `regex-exec compiled s` → match dict `{match index input groups}` or nil
-  - `regex-match-all compiled s` → list of match dicts (or empty list)
-  - `regex-replace compiled s replacement` → string
-  - `regex-replace-fn compiled s fn` → string (fn receives match+groups, returns string)
-  - `regex-split compiled s` → list of strings
-  - `regex-source compiled` → string
-  - `regex-flags compiled` → string
-  Ideally a single `(js-regex-platform-install-all! platform)` entry point the host calls once at boot. OCaml would wrap `Str` / `Re` or a dedicated regex lib; JS host can just delegate to the native `RegExp`.
 
 - **Math trig + transcendental primitives missing.** The scoreboard shows 34× "TypeError: not a function" across the Math category — every one a test calling `Math.sin/cos/tan/log/…` on our runtime. We shim `Math` via `js-global`; the SX runtime supplies `sqrt`, `pow`, `abs`, `floor`, `ceil`, `round` and a hand-rolled `trunc`/`sign`/`cbrt`/`hypot`. Nothing else. Missing platform primitives (each is a one-line OCaml/JS binding, but a primitive all the same — we can't land approximation polynomials from inside the JS shim, they'd blow `Math.sin(1e308)` precision):

+# Ruby-on-SX: fibers + blocks + open classes on delimited continuations
+
+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.

+
+Core mapping:
+- **Object** = SX dict `{:class :ivars :singleton-class?}`. Instance variables live in `ivars` keyed by symbol.
+- **Class** = SX dict `{:name :superclass :methods :class-methods :metaclass :includes :prepends}`. Class table is flat.
+- **Method dispatch** = lookup walks ancestor chain (prepended → class → included modules → superclass → …). Falls back to `method_missing` with a `Symbol`+args.
+- **Block** = lambda + escape continuation. `yield` invokes the block in current context. `return` from within a block invokes the enclosing-method's escape continuation.
+- **Proc** = lambda without strict arity. `Proc.new` + `proc {}`.
+- **Lambda** = lambda with strict arity + `return`-returns-from-lambda semantics.
+- **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

+# Smalltalk-on-SX: blocks with non-local return on delimited continuations
+
+The headline showcase is **blocks** — Smalltalk's closures with non-local return (`^expr` aborts the enclosing *method*, not the block). Every other Smalltalk on top of a host VM (RSqueak on PyPy, GemStone on C, Maxine on Java) reinvents non-local return on whatever stack discipline the host gives them. On SX it's a one-liner: a block holds a captured continuation; `^` just invokes it. Message-passing OO falls out cheaply on top of the existing component / dispatch machinery.
+
+End-state goal: ANSI-ish Smalltalk-80 subset, SUnit working, ~200 hand-written tests + a vendored slice of the Pharo kernel tests, classic corpus (eight queens, quicksort, mandelbrot, Conway's Life).
+
+## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
+
+- **Syntax:** Pharo / Squeak chunk format (`!` separators, `Object subclass: #Foo …`). No fileIn/fileOut images — text source only.
+- **Conformance:** ANSI X3J20 *as a target*, not bug-for-bug Squeak. "Reads like Smalltalk, runs like Smalltalk."
+- **Test corpus:** SUnit ported to SX-Smalltalk + custom programs + a curated slice of Pharo `Kernel-Tests` / `Collections-Tests`.
+- **Image:** out of scope. Source-only. No `become:` between sessions, no snapshotting.
+- **Reflection:** `class`, `respondsTo:`, `perform:`, `doesNotUnderstand:` in. `become:` (object-identity swap) **in** — it's a good CEK exercise. Method modification at runtime in.
+- **GUI / Morphic / threads:** out entirely.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/smalltalk/**` and `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. Smalltalk primitives go in `lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`.

+Core mapping:

+- **Object** = SX dict `{:class :ivars}` — `ivars` keyed by symbol. Tagged ints / floats / strings / symbols are not boxed; their class is looked up by SX type.
+- **Method** = SX lambda closing over a `self` binding + temps. Body wrapped in a delimited continuation so `^` can escape.
+- **Message send** = `(st-send receiver selector args)` — does class-table lookup, walks superclass chain, falls back to `doesNotUnderstand:` with a `Message` object.
+- **Block** `[:x | … ^v … ]` = lambda + captured `^k` (the method-return continuation). Invoking `^` calls `k`; outer block invocation past method return raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`.
+- **Cascade** `r m1; m2; m3` = `(let ((tmp r)) (st-send tmp 'm1 ()) (st-send tmp 'm2 ()) (st-send tmp 'm3 ()))`.
+- **`ifTrue:ifFalse:` / `whileTrue:`** = ordinary block sends; the runtime intrinsifies them in the JIT path so they compile to native branches (Tier 1 of bytecode expansion already covers this pattern).
+- **`become:`** = swap two object identities everywhere — in SX this is a heap walk, but we restrict to `oneWayBecome:` (cheap: rewrite class field) by default.
+
+## 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`
+
+### 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)`

+- [ ] `HashedCollection`/`Set`/`Dictionary`/`IdentityDictionary`
+- [ ] `Stream` hierarchy: `ReadStream`/`WriteStream`/`ReadWriteStream`
+- [ ] `Number` tower: `SmallInteger`/`LargePositiveInteger`/`Float`/`Fraction`

+### 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

+# 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.

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.

+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
