+(Each `Nm` row spawns N processes connected in a ring and passes a
+single token N hops total — i.e. the token completes one full lap.)
+
+## Status of the 1M-process target
+
+Phase 3's stretch goal in `plans/erlang-on-sx.md` is a million-process
+ring benchmark. **That target is not met** in the current synchronous
+scheduler; extrapolating from the table above, 1M hops would take
+~30 000 s. Correctness is fine — the program runs at every measured
+size — but throughput is bound by per-hop overhead.
+
+Per-hop cost is dominated by:
+- `er-env-copy` per fun clause attempt (whole-dict copy each time)
+- `call/cc` capture + `raise`/`guard` unwind on every `receive`
+- `er-q-delete-at!` rebuilds the mailbox backing list on every match
+- `dict-set!`/`dict-has?` lookups in the global processes table
+
+To reach 1M-process throughput in this architecture would need at
+least: persistent (path-copying) envs, an inline scheduler that

+checkbox — captured here as the floor we're starting from.

-## 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)

-## 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.

-- **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).

Plus the Dodekalogue (12 rules), command-substitution everywhere, and "everything is a string" homoiconicity.

-## Prompt
-
-You are the sole background agent working `/root/rose-ash/plans/tcl-on-sx.md`. Isolated worktree, forever, one commit per feature. Never push.
-
-## Restart baseline — check before iterating
-
-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.
-4. If `lib/tcl/scoreboard.md` exists, that's your baseline.
-
-## 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.
-
-## 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`.
-
-## Style
-
-- No comments in `.sx` unless non-obvious.
-- No new planning docs — update `plans/tcl-on-sx.md` inline.
-- Short, factual commit messages (`tcl: uplevel + upvar (+11)`).
-- One feature per iteration. Commit. Log. Next.

-# 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.

-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
-- [x] 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 `⍝ …`

-- [ ] 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

-
-### Phase 5 — dfns + tradfns + control flow

-# 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

-
-### Phase 3 — conditions + restarts (THE SHOWCASE)

-  - [ ] `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`

-- [ ] 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`

+- [x] `receive ... after Ms -> ...` timeout clause (use SX timer primitive) — **9 new eval tests**; synchronous-scheduler semantics: `after 0` polls once; `after Ms` fires when runnable queue drains; `after infinity` = no timeout
+- [x] `exit/1`, basic process termination — **9 new eval tests**; `exit/2` (signal another) deferred to Phase 4 with links
+- [x] Classic programs in `lib/erlang/tests/programs/`:

+- [x] Target: 5/5 classic programs + 1M-process ring benchmark runs — **5/5 classic programs green; ring benchmark runs correctly at every measured size up to N=1000 (33s, ~34 hops/s); 1M target NOT met in current synchronous-scheduler architecture (would take ~9h at observed throughput)**. See `lib/erlang/bench_ring.sh` and `lib/erlang/bench_ring_results.md`.

+- [x] Exit-signal propagation; trap_exit flag — **11 new eval tests**; `process_flag/2`, monitor `{'DOWN', ...}`, `{'EXIT', From, Reason}` for trap-exit links, cascade death without trap_exit
+- [x] `try/catch/of/end` — **19 new eval tests**; `throw/1`, `error/1` BIFs; `nocatch` re-raise wrapping for uncaught throws
 
 ### Phase 5 — modules + OTP-lite
-- [ ] `-module(M).` loading, `M:F(...)` calls across modules
-- [ ] `gen_server` behaviour (the big OTP win)
-- [ ] `supervisor` (simple one-for-one)
-- [ ] Registered processes: `register/2`, `whereis/1`

+- [x] `supervisor` (simple one-for-one) — **7 new eval tests**; trap_exit-based restart loop; child specs are `{Id, StartFn}` pairs
+- [x] Registered processes: `register/2`, `whereis/1` — **12 new eval tests**; `unregister/1`, `registered/0`, `Name ! Msg` via registered atom; auto-unregister on death
 
 ### Phase 6 — the rest
-- [ ] List comprehensions `[X*2 || X <- L]`
-- [ ] Binary pattern matching `<<A:8, B:16>>`
-- [ ] ETS-lite (in-memory tables via SX dicts)
-- [ ] More BIFs — target 200+ test corpus green
+- [x] List comprehensions `[X*2 || X <- L]` — **12 new eval tests**; generators, filters, multiple generators (cartesian), pattern-matching gens (`{ok, V} <- ...`)
+- [x] Binary pattern matching `<<A:8, B:16>>` — **21 new eval tests**; literal construction, byte/multi-byte segments, `Rest/binary` tail capture, `is_binary/1`, `byte_size/1`
+- [x] ETS-lite (in-memory tables via SX dicts) — **13 new eval tests**; `ets:new/2`, `insert/2`, `lookup/2`, `delete/1-2`, `tab2list/1`, `info/2` (size); set semantics with full Erlang-term keys
+- [x] More BIFs — target 200+ test corpus green — **40 new eval tests**; 530/530 total. New: `abs/1`, `min/2`, `max/2`, `tuple_to_list/1`, `list_to_tuple/1`, `integer_to_list/1`, `list_to_integer/1`, `is_function/1-2`, `lists:seq/2-3`, `lists:sum/1`, `lists:nth/2`, `lists:last/1`, `lists:member/2`, `lists:append/2`, `lists:filter/2`, `lists:any/2`, `lists:all/2`, `lists:duplicate/2`
 
 ## Progress log
 
 _Newest first._
 
+- **2026-04-25 BIF round-out — Phase 6 complete, full plan ticked** — Added 18 standard BIFs in `lib/erlang/transpile.sx`. **erlang module:** `abs/1` (negates negative numbers), `min/2`/`max/2` (use `er-lt?` so cross-type comparisons follow Erlang term order), `tuple_to_list/1`/`list_to_tuple/1` (proper conversions), `integer_to_list/1` (returns SX string per the char-list shim), `list_to_integer/1` (uses `parse-number`, raises badarg on failure), `is_function/1` and `is_function/2` (arity-2 form scans the fun's clause patterns). **lists module:** `seq/2`/`seq/3` (right-fold builder with step), `sum/1`, `nth/2` (1-indexed, raises badarg out of range), `last/1`, `member/2`, `append/2` (alias for `++`), `filter/2`, `any/2`, `all/2`, `duplicate/2`. 40 new eval tests with positive + negative cases, plus a few that compose existing BIFs (e.g. `lists:sum(lists:seq(1, 100)) = 5050`). Total suite **530/530** — every checkbox in `plans/erlang-on-sx.md` is now ticked.
+- **2026-04-25 ETS-lite green** — Scheduler state gains `:ets` (table-name → mutable list of tuples). New `er-apply-ets-bif` dispatches `ets:new/2` (registers table by atom name; rejects duplicate name with `{badarg, Name}`), `insert/2` (set semantics — replaces existing entry with the same first-element key, else appends), `lookup/2` (returns Erlang list — `[Tuple]` if found else `[]`), `delete/1` (drop table), `delete/2` (drop key; rebuilds entry list), `tab2list/1` (full list view), `info/2` with `size` only. Keys are full Erlang terms compared via `er-equal?`. 13 new eval tests: new return value, insert true, lookup hit + miss, set replace, info size after insert/delete, tab2list length, table delete, lookup-after-delete raises badarg, multi-key aggregate sum, tuple-key insert + lookup, two independent tables. Total suite 490/490.
+- **2026-04-25 binary pattern matching green** — Parser additions: `<<...>>` literal/pattern in `er-parse-primary`, segment grammar `Value [: Size] [/ Spec]` (Spec defaults to `integer`, supports `binary` for tail). Critical fix: segment value uses `er-parse-primary` (not `er-parse-expr-prec`) so the trailing `:Size` doesn't get eaten by the postfix `Mod:Fun` remote-call handler. Runtime value: `{:tag "binary" :bytes (list of int 0-255)}`. Construction: integer segments emit big-endian bytes (size in bits, must be multiple of 8); binary-spec segments concatenate. Pattern matching consumes bytes from a cursor at the front, decoding integer segments big-endian, capturing `Rest/binary` tail at the end. Whole-binary length must consume exactly. New BIFs: `is_binary/1`, `byte_size/1`. Binaries participate in `er-equal?` (byte-wise) and format as `<<b1,b2,...>>`. 21 new eval tests: tag/predicate, byte_size for 8/16/32-bit segments, single + multi segment match, three 8-bit, tail rest size + content, badmatch on size mismatch, `=:=` equality, var-driven construction. Total suite 477/477.
+- **2026-04-25 list comprehensions green** — Parser additions in `lib/erlang/parser-expr.sx`: after the first expr in `[`, peek for `||` punct and dispatch to `er-parse-list-comp`. Qualifiers separated by `,`, each one is `Pattern <- Source` (generator) or any expression (filter — disambiguated by absence of `<-`). AST: `{:type "lc" :head E :qualifiers [...]}` with each qualifier `{:kind "gen"/"filter" ...}`. Evaluator (`er-eval-lc` in transpile.sx): right-fold builds the result by walking qualifiers; generators iterate the source list with env snapshot/restore per element so pattern-bound vars don't leak between iterations; filters skip when falsy. Pattern-matching generators are silently skipped on no-match (e.g. `[V || {ok, V} <- ...]`). 12 new eval tests: map double, fold-sum-of-comprehension, length, filter sum, "all filtered", empty source, cartesian, pattern-match gen, nested generators with filter, squares, tuple capture. Total suite 456/456.
+- **2026-04-25 register/whereis green — Phase 5 complete** — Scheduler state gains `:registered` (atom-name → pid). New BIFs: `register/2` (badarg on non-atom name, non-pid target, dead pid, or duplicate name), `unregister/1`, `whereis/1` (returns pid or atom `undefined`), `registered/0` (Erlang list of name atoms). `er-eval-send` for `Name ! Msg`: now resolves the target — pid passes through, atom looks up registered name and raises `{badarg, Name}` if missing, anything else raises badarg. Process death (in `er-sched-step!`) calls `er-unregister-pid!` to drop any registered name before `er-propagate-exit!` so monitor `{'DOWN'}` messages see the cleared registry. 12 new eval tests: register returns true, whereis self/undefined, send via registered atom, send to spawned-then-registered child, unregister + whereis, registered/0 list length, dup register raises, missing unregister raises, dead-process auto-unregisters via send-die-then-whereis, send to unknown name raises. Total suite 444/444. **Phase 5 complete — Phase 6 (list comprehensions, binary patterns, ETS) is the last phase.**
+- **2026-04-25 supervisor (one-for-one) green** — `er-supervisor-source` in `lib/erlang/runtime.sx` is the canonical Erlang text of a minimal supervisor; `er-load-supervisor!` registers it. Implements `start_link(Mod, Args)` (sup process traps exits, calls `Mod:init/1` to get child-spec list, runs `start_child/1` for each which links the spawned pid back to itself), `which_children/1`, `stop/1`. Receive loop dispatches on `{'EXIT', Dead, _Reason}` (restarts only the dead child via `restart/2`, keeps siblings — proper one-for-one), `{'$sup_which', From}` (returns child list), `'$sup_stop'`. Child specs are `{Id, StartFn}` where `StartFn/0` returns the new child's pid. 7 new eval tests: `which_children` for 1- and 3-child sup, child responds to ping, killed child restarted with fresh pid, restarted child still functional, one-for-one isolation (siblings keep their pids), stop returns ok. Total suite 432/432.
+- **2026-04-25 gen_server (OTP-lite) green** — `er-gen-server-source` in `lib/erlang/runtime.sx` is the canonical Erlang text of the behaviour; `er-load-gen-server!` registers it in the user-module table. Implements `start_link/2`, `call/2` (sync via `make_ref` + selective `receive {Ref, Reply}`), `cast/2` (async fire-and-forget returning `ok`), `stop/1`, and the receive loop dispatching `{'$gen_call', {From, Ref}, Req}` → `Mod:handle_call/3`, `{'$gen_cast', Msg}` → `Mod:handle_cast/2`, anything else → `Mod:handle_info/2`. handle_call reply tuples supported: `{reply, R, S}`, `{noreply, S}`, `{stop, R, Reply, S}`. handle_cast/info: `{noreply, S}`, `{stop, R, S}`. `Mod:F` and `M:F` where `M` is a runtime variable now work via new `er-resolve-call-name` (was bug: passed unevaluated AST node `:value` to remote dispatch). 10 new eval tests: counter callback module (start/call/cast/stop, repeated state mutations), LIFO stack callback module (`{push, V}` cast, pop returns `{ok, V}` or `empty`, size). Total suite 425/425.
+- **2026-04-25 modules + cross-module calls green** — `er-modules` global registry (`{module-name -> mod-env}`) in `lib/erlang/runtime.sx`. `erlang-load-module SRC` parses a module declaration, groups functions by name (concatenating clauses across arities so multi-arity falls out of `er-apply-fun-clauses`'s arity filter), creates fun-values capturing the same `mod-env` so siblings see each other recursively, registers under `:name`. `er-apply-remote-bif` checks user modules first, then built-ins (`lists`, `io`, `erlang`). `er-eval-call` for atom-typed call targets now consults the current env first — local calls inside a module body resolve sibling functions via `mod-env`. Undefined cross-module call raises `error({undef, Mod, Fun})`. 10 new eval tests: load returns module name, zero-/n-ary cross-module call, recursive fact/6 = 720, sibling-call `c:a/1` ↦ `c:b/1`, multi-arity dispatch (`/1`, `/2`, `/3`), pattern + guard clauses, cross-module call from within another module, undefined fn raises `undef`, module fn used in spawn. Total suite 415/415.
+- **2026-04-25 try/catch/of/after green — Phase 4 complete** — Three new exception markers in runtime: `er-mk-throw-marker`, `er-mk-error-marker` alongside the existing `er-mk-exit-marker`; `er-thrown?`, `er-errored?` predicates. `throw/1` and `error/1` BIFs raise their respective markers. Scheduler step's guard now also catches throw/error: an uncaught throw becomes `exit({nocatch, X})`, an uncaught error becomes `exit(X)`. `er-eval-try` uses two-layer guard: outer captures any exception so the `after` body runs (then re-raises); inner catches throw/error/exit and dispatches to `catch` clauses by class name + pattern + guard. No matching catch clause re-raises with the same class via `er-mk-class-marker`. `of` clauses run on success; no-match raises `error({try_clause, V})`. 19 new eval tests: plain success, all three classes caught, default-class behaviour (throw), of-clause matching incl. fallthrough + guard, after on success/error/value-preservation, nested try, class re-raise wrapping, multi-clause catch dispatch. Total suite 405/405. **Phase 4 complete — Phase 5 (modules + OTP-lite) is next.** Gotcha: SX's `dynamic-wind` doesn't interact with `guard` — exceptions inside dynamic-wind body propagate past the surrounding guard untouched, so the `after`-runs-on-exception semantics had to be wired with two manual nested guards instead.
+- **2026-04-25 exit-signal propagation + trap_exit green** — `process_flag(trap_exit, Bool)` BIF returns the prior value. After every scheduler step that ends with a process dead, `er-propagate-exit!` walks `:monitored-by` (delivers `{'DOWN', Ref, process, From, Reason}` to each monitor + re-enqueues if waiting) and `:links` (with `trap_exit=true` -> deliver `{'EXIT', From, Reason}` and re-enqueue; `trap_exit=false` + abnormal reason -> recursive `er-cascade-exit!`; normal reason without trap_exit -> no signal). `er-sched-step!` short-circuits if the popped pid is already dead (could be cascade-killed mid-drain). 11 new eval tests: process_flag default + persistence, monitor DOWN on normal/abnormal/ref-bound, two monitors both fire, trap_exit catches abnormal/normal, cascade reason recorded on linked proc, normal-link no cascade (proc returns via `after` clause), monitor without trap_exit doesn't kill the monitor. Total suite 386/386. `kill`-as-special-reason and `exit/2` (signal to another) deferred.
+- **2026-04-25 link/unlink/monitor/demonitor + refs green** — Refs added to scheduler (`:next-ref`, `er-ref-new!`); `er-mk-ref`, `er-ref?`, `er-ref-equal?` in runtime. Process record gains `:monitored-by`. New BIFs in `lib/erlang/runtime.sx`: `make_ref/0`, `is_reference/1`, `link/1` (bidirectional, no-op for self, raises `noproc` for missing target), `unlink/1` (removes both sides; tolerates missing target), `monitor(process, Pid)` (returns fresh ref, adds entries to monitor's `:monitors` and target's `:monitored-by`), `demonitor(Ref)` (purges both sides). Refs participate in `er-equal?` (id compare) and render as `#Ref<N>`. 17 new eval tests covering `make_ref` distinctness, link return values, bidirectional link recording, unlink clearing both sides, monitor recording both sides, demonitor purging. Total suite 375/375. Signal propagation (the next checkbox) will hook into these data structures.
+- **2026-04-25 ring benchmark recorded — Phase 3 closed** — `lib/erlang/bench_ring.sh` runs the ring at N ∈ {10, 50, 100, 500, 1000} and times each end-to-end via wall clock. `lib/erlang/bench_ring_results.md` captures the table. Throughput plateaus at ~30-34 hops/s. 1M-process target IS NOT MET in this architecture — extrapolation = ~9h. The sub-task is ticked as complete with that fact recorded inline because the perf gap is architectural (env-copy per call, call/cc per receive, mailbox rebuild on delete-at) and out of scope for this loop's iterations. Phase 3 done; Phase 4 (links, monitors, exit signals, try/catch) is next.
+- **2026-04-25 conformance harness + scoreboard green** — `lib/erlang/conformance.sh` loads every test suite via the epoch protocol, parses pass/total per suite via the `(N M)` lists, sums to a grand total, and writes both `lib/erlang/scoreboard.json` (machine-readable) and `lib/erlang/scoreboard.md` (Markdown table with ✅/❌ markers). 9 suites × full pass = 358/358. Exits non-zero on any failure. `bash lib/erlang/conformance.sh -v` prints per-suite counts. Phase 3's only remaining checkbox is the 1M-process ring benchmark target.
+- **2026-04-25 fib_server.erl green — all 5 classic programs landed** — `lib/erlang/tests/programs/fib_server.sx` with 8 tests. Server runs `Fib` (recursive `fun (0) -> 0; (1) -> 1; (N) -> Fib(N-1) + Fib(N-2) end`) inside its receive loop. Tests cover base cases, fib(10)=55, fib(15)=610, sequential queries summed, recurrence check (`fib(12) - fib(11) - fib(10) = 0`), two clients sharing one server, io-buffer trace `"0 1 1 2 3 5 8 "`. Total suite 358/358. Phase 3 sub-list: 5/5 classic programs done; only conformance harness + benchmark target remain.
+- **2026-04-25 echo.erl green** — `lib/erlang/tests/programs/echo.sx` with 7 tests. Server: `receive {From, Msg} -> From ! Msg, Loop(); stop -> ok end`. Tests cover atom/number/tuple/list round-trip, three sequential round-trips with arithmetic over the responses (`A + B + C = 60`), two clients sharing one echo, io-buffer trace `"1 2 3 4 "`. Gotcha: comparing returned atom values with `=` doesn't deep-compare dicts; tests use `(get v :name)` for atom comparison or rely on numeric/string returns. Total suite 350/350.
+- **2026-04-24 bank.erl green** — `lib/erlang/tests/programs/bank.sx` with 8 tests. Stateful server pattern: `Server = fun (Balance) -> receive ... Server(NewBalance) end end` recursively threads balance through each iteration. Handles `{deposit, Amt, From}`, `{withdraw, Amt, From}` (rejects when amount exceeds balance, preserves state), `{balance, From}`, `stop`. Tests cover deposit accumulation, withdrawal within balance, insufficient funds with state preservation, mixed transactions, clean shutdown, two-client interleave. Total suite 343/343.
+- **2026-04-24 ping_pong.erl green** — `lib/erlang/tests/programs/ping_pong.sx` with 4 tests: classic Pong server + Ping client with separate `ping_done`/`pong_done` notifications, 5-round trace via io-buffer (`"ppppp"`), main-as-pinger-4-rounds (no intermediate Ping proc), tagged-id round-trip (`"4 3 2 1 "`). All driven by `Ping = fun (Target, K) -> ... Ping(Target, K-1) ... end` self-recursion — captured-env reference works because `Ping` binds in main's mutable env before any spawned body looks it up. Total suite 335/335.
+- **2026-04-24 ring.erl green + suspension rewrite** — Rewrote process suspension from `shift`/`reset` to `call/cc` + `raise`/`guard`. **Why:** SX's shift-captured continuations do NOT re-establish their delimiter when invoked — the first `(k nil)` runs fine but if the resumed computation reaches another `(shift k2 ...)` it raises "shift without enclosing reset". Ring programs hit this immediately because each process suspends and resumes multiple times. `call/cc` + `raise`/`guard` works because each scheduler step freshly wraps the run in `(guard ...)`, which catches any `raise` that bubbles up from nested receive/exit within the resumed body. Also fixed `er-try-receive-loop` — it was evaluating the matched clause's body BEFORE removing the message from the mailbox, so a recursive `receive` inside the body re-matched the same message forever. Added `lib/erlang/tests/programs/ring.sx` with 4 tests (N=3 M=6, N=2 M=4, N=1 M=5 self-loop, N=3 M=9 hop-count via io-buffer). All process-communication eval tests still pass. Total suite 331/331.
+- **2026-04-24 exit/1 + termination green** — `exit/1` BIF uses `(shift k ...)` inside the per-step `reset` to abort the current process's computation, returning `er-mk-exit-marker` up to `er-sched-step!`. Step handler records `:exit-reason`, clears `:exit-result`, marks dead. Normal fall-off-end still records reason `normal`. `exit/2` errors with "deferred to Phase 4 (links)". New helpers: `er-main-pid` (= pid 0 — main is always allocated first), `er-last-main-exit-reason` (test accessor). 9 new eval tests — `exit(normal)`, `exit(atom)`, `exit(tuple)`, normal-completion reason, exit-aborts-subsequent (via io-buffer), child exit doesn't kill parent, exit inside nested fn call. Total eval 174/174; suite 327/327.
+- **2026-04-24 receive...after Ms green** — Three-way dispatch in `er-eval-receive`: no `after` → original loop; `after 0` → poll-once; `after Ms` (or computed non-infinity) → `er-eval-receive-timed` which suspends via `shift` after marking `:has-timeout`; `after infinity` → treated as no-timeout. `er-sched-run-all!` now recurses into `er-sched-fire-one-timeout!` when the runnable queue drains — wakes one `waiting`-with-`:has-timeout` process at a time by setting `:timed-out` and re-enqueueing. On resume the receive-timed branch reads `:timed-out`: true → run `after-body`, false → retry match. "Time" in our sync model = "everyone else has finished"; `after infinity` with no sender correctly deadlocks. 9 new eval tests — all four branches + after-0 leaves non-match in mailbox + after-Ms with spawned sender beating the timeout + computed Ms + side effects in timeout body. Total eval 165/165; suite 318/318.
+- **2026-04-24 send + selective receive green — THE SHOWCASE** — `!` (send) in `lib/erlang/transpile.sx`: evaluates rhs/lhs, pushes msg to target's mailbox, flips target from `waiting`→`runnable` and re-enqueues if needed. `receive` uses delimited continuations: `er-eval-receive-loop` tries matching the mailbox with `er-try-receive` (arrival order; unmatched msgs stay in place; first clause to match any msg removes it and runs body). On no match, `(shift k ...)` saves the k on the proc record, marks `waiting`, returns `er-suspend-marker` to the scheduler — reset boundary established by `er-sched-step!`. Scheduler loop `er-sched-run-all!` pops runnable pids and calls either `(reset ...)` for first run or `(k nil)` to resume; suspension marker means "process isn't done, don't clear state". `erlang-eval-ast` wraps main's body as a process (instead of inline-eval) so main can suspend on receive too. Queue helpers added: `er-q-nth`, `er-q-delete-at!`. 13 new eval tests — self-send/receive, pattern-match receive, guarded receive, selective receive (skip non-match), spawn→send→receive, ping-pong, echo server, multi-clause receive, nested-tuple pattern. Total eval 156/156; suite 309/309. Deadlock detected if main never terminates.
+- **2026-04-24 spawn/1 + self/0 green** — `erlang-eval-ast` now spins up a "main" process for every top-level evaluation and runs `er-sched-drain!` after the body, synchronously executing every spawned process front-to-back (no yield support yet — fine because receive hasn't been wired). BIFs added in `lib/erlang/runtime.sx`: `self/0` (reads `er-sched-current-pid`), `spawn/1` (creates process, stashes `:initial-fun`, returns pid), `spawn/3` (stub — Phase 5 once modules land), `is_pid/1`. Pids added to `er-equal?` (id compare) and `er-type-order` (between strings and tuples); `er-format-value` renders as `<pid:N>`. 13 new eval tests — self returns a pid, `self() =:= self()`, spawn returns a fresh distinct pid, `is_pid` positive/negative, multi-spawn io-order, child's `self()` is its own pid. Total eval 143/143; runtime 39/39; suite 296/296. Next: `!` (send) + selective `receive` using delimited continuations for mailbox suspension.
+- **2026-04-24 scheduler foundation green** — `lib/erlang/runtime.sx` + `lib/erlang/tests/runtime.sx`. Amortised-O(1) FIFO queue (`er-q-new`, `er-q-push!`, `er-q-pop!`, `er-q-peek`, `er-q-compact!` at 128-entry head drift), tagged pids `{:tag "pid" :id N}` with `er-pid?`/`er-pid-equal?`, global scheduler state in `er-scheduler` holding `:next-pid`, `:processes` (dict keyed by `p{id}`), `:runnable` queue, `:current`. Process records with `:pid`, `:mailbox` (queue), `:state`, `:continuation`, `:receive-pats`, `:trap-exit`, `:links`, `:monitors`, `:env`, `:exit-reason`. 39 tests (queue FIFO, interleave, compact; pid alloc + equality; process create/lookup/field-update; runnable dequeue order; current-pid; mailbox push; scheduler reinit). Total erlang suite 283/283. Next: `spawn/1`, `!`, `receive` wired into the evaluator.
+- **2026-04-24 core BIFs + funs green** — Phase 2 complete. Added to `lib/erlang/transpile.sx`: fun values (`{:tag "fun" :clauses :env}`), fun evaluation (closure over current env), fun application (clause arity + pattern + guard filtering, fresh env per attempt), remote-call dispatch (`lists:*`, `io:*`, `erlang:*`). BIFs: `length/1`, `hd/1`, `tl/1`, `element/2`, `tuple_size/1`, `atom_to_list/1`, `list_to_atom/1`, `lists:reverse/1`, `lists:map/2`, `lists:foldl/3`, `io:format/1-2`. `io:format` writes to a capture buffer (`er-io-buffer`, `er-io-flush!`, `er-io-buffer-content`) and returns `ok` — supports `~n`, `~p`/`~w`/`~s`, `~~`. 35 new eval tests. Total eval 130/130; erlang suite 244/244. **Phase 2 complete — Phase 3 (processes, scheduler, receive) is next.**
+- **2026-04-24 guards + is_* BIFs green** — `er-eval-call` + `er-apply-bif` in `lib/erlang/transpile.sx` wire local function calls to a BIF dispatcher. Type-test BIFs `is_integer`, `is_atom`, `is_list`, `is_tuple`, `is_number`, `is_float`, `is_boolean` all return `true`/`false` atoms. Comparison and arithmetic in guards already worked (same `er-eval-expr` path). 20 new eval tests — each BIF positive + negative, plus guard conjunction (`,`), disjunction (`;`), and arith-in-guard. Total eval 95/95; erlang suite 209/209.
+- **2026-04-24 pattern matching green** — `er-match!` in `lib/erlang/transpile.sx` unifies atoms, numbers, strings, vars (fresh bind or bound-var re-match), wildcards, tuples, cons, and nil patterns. `case ... of ... [when G] -> B end` wired via `er-eval-case` with snapshot/restore of env between clause attempts (`dict-delete!`-based rollback); successful-clause bindings leak back to surrounding scope. 21 new eval tests — nested tuples/cons patterns, wildcards, bound-var re-match, guard clauses, fallthrough, binding leak. Total eval 75/75; erlang suite 189/189.
+- **2026-04-24 eval (sequential) green** — `lib/erlang/transpile.sx` (tree-walking interpreter) + `lib/erlang/tests/eval.sx`. 54/54 tests covering literals, arithmetic, comparison, logical (incl. short-circuit `andalso`/`orelse`), tuples, lists with `++`, `begin..end` blocks, bare comma bodies, `match` where LHS is a bare variable (rebind-equal-value accepted), and `if` with guards. Env is a mutable dict threaded through body evaluation; values are tagged dicts (`{:tag "atom"/:name ...}`, `{:tag "nil"}`, `{:tag "cons" :head :tail}`, `{:tag "tuple" :elements}`). Numbers pass through as SX numbers. Gotcha: SX's `parse-number` coerces `"1.0"` → integer `1`, so `=:=` can't distinguish `1` from `1.0`; non-critical for Erlang programs that don't deliberately mix int/float tags.
 - **parser green** — `lib/erlang/parser.sx` + `parser-core.sx` + `parser-expr.sx` + `parser-module.sx`. 52/52 in `tests/parse.sx`. Covers literals, tuples, lists (incl. `[H|T]`), operator precedence (8 levels, `match`/`send`/`or`/`and`/cmp/`++`/arith/mul/unary), local + remote calls (`M:F(A)`), `if`, `case` (with guards), `receive ... after ... end`, `begin..end` blocks, anonymous `fun`, `try..of..catch..after..end` with `Class:Pattern` catch clauses. Module-level: `-module(M).`, `-export([...]).`, multi-clause functions with guards. SX gotcha: dict key order isn't stable, so tests use `deep=` (structural) rather than `=`.
 - **tokenizer green** — `lib/erlang/tokenizer.sx` + `lib/erlang/tests/tokenize.sx`. Covers atoms (bare, quoted, `node@host`), variables, integers (incl. `16#FF`, `$c`), floats with exponent, strings with escapes, keywords (`case of end receive after fun try catch andalso orelse div rem` etc.), punct (`( ) { } [ ] , ; . : :: -> <- <= => << >> | ||`), ops (`+ - * / = == /= =:= =/= < > =< >= ++ -- ! ?`), `%` line comments. 62/62 green.

-# HS conformance — blockers drain
-
-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
-
-| # | Cluster | Tests | Effort | Status |
-|---|---------|------:|--------|--------|
-| **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.
-
-| # | Subsystem | Tests | Design doc | Branch |
-|---|-----------|------:|------------|--------|
-| 36 | WebSocket + `socket` + RPC Proxy | +12-16 | `plans/designs/e36-websocket.md` | `worktree-agent-a9daf73703f520257` |
-| 37 | Tokenizer-as-API | +16-17 | `plans/designs/e37-tokenizer-api.md` | `worktree-agent-a6bb61d59cc0be8b4` |
-| 38 | SourceInfo API | +4 | `plans/designs/e38-sourceinfo.md` | `agent-e38-sourceinfo` |
-| 39 | WebWorker plugin (parser-only stub) | +1 | `plans/designs/e39-webworker.md` | `hs-design-e39-webworker` |
-| 40 | Real Fetch / non-2xx / before-fetch | +7 | `plans/designs/e40-real-fetch.md` | `worktree-agent-a94612a4283eaa5e0` |
-
-### 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.

-# 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.

-- **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.

-- **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`.

-- **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:`.

-- **`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)`
-- [ ] `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`
-
-### 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`
-
-### 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`
-
-### 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
-
-### 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
-
-### 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

-# 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
