+
+Role: iterates `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md` forever. Message-passing OO + **blocks with non-local return** on delimited continuations. Non-local return is the headline showcase — every other Smalltalk reinvents it on the host stack; on SX it falls out of the captured method-return continuation.
+
+```
+description: smalltalk-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/smalltalk-on-sx.md`. Isolated worktree, forever, one commit per feature. Never push.
+
+## Restart baseline — check before iterating
+
+1. Read `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md` — roadmap + Progress log.
+2. `ls lib/smalltalk/` — pick up from the most advanced file.
+3. If `lib/smalltalk/tests/*.sx` exist, run them. Green before new work.
+4. If `lib/smalltalk/scoreboard.md` exists, that's your baseline.
+
+## The queue
+
+Phase order per `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md`:
+
+- **Phase 1** — tokenizer + parser (chunk format, identifiers, keywords `foo:`, binary selectors, `#sym`, `#(…)`, `$c`, blocks `[:a | …]`, cascades, message precedence)
+- **Phase 2** — object model + sequential eval (class table bootstrap, message dispatch, `super`, `doesNotUnderstand:`, instance variables)
+- **Phase 3** — **THE SHOWCASE**: blocks with non-local return via captured method-return continuation. `whileTrue:` / `ifTrue:ifFalse:` as block sends. 5 classic programs (eight-queens, quicksort, mandelbrot, life, fibonacci) green.
+- **Phase 4** — reflection + MOP: `perform:`, `respondsTo:`, runtime method addition, `becomeForward:`, `Exception` / `on:do:` / `ensure:` on top of `handler-bind`/`raise`
+- **Phase 5** — collections + numeric tower + streams
+- **Phase 6** — port SUnit, vendor Pharo Kernel-Tests slice, drive corpus to 200+
+- **Phase 7** — speed (optional): inline caching, block intrinsification
+
+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/smalltalk/**` and `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root. Smalltalk primitives go in `lib/smalltalk/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.
+
+## Smalltalk-specific gotchas
+
+- **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).
+- **Image / fileIn / become: between sessions** = out of scope. One-way `becomeForward:` only.
+- **Test corpus:** ~200 hand-written + a slice of Pharo Kernel-Tests. Place programs in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/`.
+
+## 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/smalltalk-on-sx.md` inline.
+- Short, factual commit messages (`smalltalk: tokenizer + 56 tests`).
+- One feature per iteration. Commit. Log. Next.
+
+Go. Read the plan; find first `[ ]`; implement.

+# 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`.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.
+
+## Architecture sketch
+
+```
+Smalltalk source
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/tokenizer.sx  — selectors, keywords, literals, $c, #sym, #(…), $'…'
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/parser.sx     — AST: classes, methods, blocks, cascades, sends
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/transpile.sx  — AST → SX AST (entry: smalltalk-eval-ast)
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx    — class table, MOP, dispatch, primitives
+```
+
+Core mapping:
+- **Class** = SX dict `{:name :superclass :ivars :methods :class-methods :metaclass}`. Class table is a flat dict keyed by class name.
+- **Object** = SX dict `{:class :ivars}` — `ivars` keyed by symbol. Tagged ints / floats / strings / symbols are not boxed; their class is looked up by SX type.
+- **Method** = SX lambda closing over a `self` binding + temps. Body wrapped in a delimited continuation so `^` can escape.
+- **Message send** = `(st-send receiver selector args)` — does class-table lookup, walks superclass chain, falls back to `doesNotUnderstand:` with a `Message` object.
+- **Block** `[:x | … ^v … ]` = lambda + captured `^k` (the method-return continuation). Invoking `^` calls `k`; outer block invocation past method return raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`.
+- **Cascade** `r m1; m2; m3` = `(let ((tmp r)) (st-send tmp 'm1 ()) (st-send tmp 'm2 ()) (st-send tmp 'm3 ()))`.
+- **`ifTrue:ifFalse:` / `whileTrue:`** = ordinary block sends; the runtime intrinsifies them in the JIT path so they compile to native branches (Tier 1 of bytecode expansion already covers this pattern).
+- **`become:`** = swap two object identities everywhere — in SX this is a heap walk, but we restrict to `oneWayBecome:` (cheap: rewrite class field) by default.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
+- [x] Tokenizer: identifiers, keywords (`foo:`), binary selectors (`+`, `==`, `,`, `->`, `~=` etc.), numbers (radix `16r1F`; **scaled `1.5s2` deferred**), strings `'…''…'`, characters `$c`, symbols `#foo` `#'foo bar'` `#+`, byte arrays `#[1 2 3]` (open token), literal arrays `#(1 #foo 'x')` (open token), comments `"…"`
+- [x] Parser (expression level): blocks `[:a :b | | t1 t2 | …]`, cascades, message precedence (unary > binary > keyword), assignment, return, statement sequences, literal arrays, byte arrays, paren grouping, method headers (`+ other`, `at:put:`, unary, with temps and body). Class-definition keyword messages parse as ordinary keyword sends — no special-case needed.
+- [x] Parser (chunk-stream level): `st-read-chunks` splits source on `!` (with `!!` doubling) and `st-parse-chunks` runs the Pharo file-in state machine — `methodsFor:` / `class methodsFor:` opens a method batch, an empty chunk closes it. Pragmas `<primitive: …>` (incl. multiple keyword pairs, before or after temps, multiple per method) parsed into the method AST.
+- [x] Unit tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — object model + sequential eval
+- [x] Class table + bootstrap (`lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`): canonical hierarchy installed (`Object`, `Behavior`, `ClassDescription`, `Class`, `Metaclass`, `UndefinedObject`, `Boolean`/`True`/`False`, `Magnitude`/`Number`/`Integer`/`SmallInteger`/`Float`/`Character`, `Collection`/`SequenceableCollection`/`ArrayedCollection`/`Array`/`String`/`Symbol`/`OrderedCollection`/`Dictionary`, `BlockClosure`). User class definition via `st-class-define!`, methods via `st-class-add-method!` (stamps `:defining-class` for super), method lookup walks chain, ivars accumulated through superclass chain, native SX value types map to Smalltalk classes via `st-class-of`.
+- [x] `smalltalk-eval-ast` (`lib/smalltalk/eval.sx`): all literal kinds, ident resolution (locals → ivars → class refs), self/super/thisContext, assignment (locals or ivars, mutating), message send, cascade, sequence, and ^return via a sentinel marker (proper continuation-based escape is the Phase 3 showcase). Frames carry a parent chain so blocks close over outer locals. Primitive method tables for SmallInteger/Float, String/Symbol, Boolean, UndefinedObject, Array, BlockClosure (value/value:/whileTrue:/etc.), and class-side `new`/`name`/etc. Also satisfies "30+ tests" — 60 eval tests.
+- [x] Method lookup: walk class → superclass already in `st-method-lookup-walk`; new cached wrapper `st-method-lookup` keys on `(class, selector, side)` and stores `:not-found` for negative results so DNU paths don't re-walk. Cache invalidates on `st-class-define!`, `st-class-add-method!`, `st-class-add-class-method!`, `st-class-remove-method!`, and full bootstrap. Stats helpers `st-method-cache-stats` / `st-method-cache-reset-stats!` for tests + later debugging.
+- [x] `doesNotUnderstand:` fallback. `Message` class added at bootstrap with `selector`/`arguments` ivars and accessor methods. Primitive senders (Number/String/Boolean/Nil/Array/BlockClosure/class-side) now return the `:unhandled` sentinel for unknown selectors; `st-send` builds a `Message` via `st-make-message` and routes through `st-dnu`, which looks up `doesNotUnderstand:` on the receiver's class chain (instance- or class-side as appropriate). User overrides intercept unknowns and see the symbol selector + arguments array in the Message.
+- [x] `super` send. Method invocation captures the defining class on the frame; `st-super-send` walks from `(st-class-superclass defining-class)` (instance- or class-side as appropriate). Falls through primitives → DNU when no method is found. Receiver is preserved as `self`, so ivar mutations stick. Verified for: subclass override calls parent, inherited `super` resolves to *defining* class's parent (not receiver's), multi-level `A→B→C` chain, super inside a block, super walks past an intermediate class with no local override.
+- [x] 30+ tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/eval.sx` (60 tests, covering literals through user-class method dispatch with cascades and closures)
+
+### Phase 3 — blocks + non-local return (THE SHOWCASE)
+- [ ] Method invocation captures a `^k` (the return continuation) and binds it as the block's escape
+- [ ] `^expr` from inside a block invokes that captured `^k`
+- [ ] `BlockContext>>value`, `value:`, `value:value:`, …, `valueWithArguments:`
+- [ ] `whileTrue:` / `whileTrue` / `whileFalse:` / `whileFalse` as ordinary block sends — runtime intrinsifies the loop in the bytecode JIT
+- [ ] `ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` / `ifTrue:ifFalse:` as block sends, similarly intrinsified
+- [ ] Escape past returned-from method raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`
+- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/`:
+  - [ ] `eight-queens.st`
+  - [ ] `quicksort.st`
+  - [ ] `mandelbrot.st`
+  - [ ] `life.st` (Conway's Life, glider gun)
+  - [ ] `fibonacci.st` (recursive + memoised)
+- [ ] `lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
+
+### 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
+
+## Progress log
+
+_Newest first. Agent appends on every commit._
+
+- 2026-04-25: `super` send + 9 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/super.sx`). `st-super-send` walks from defining-class's superclass; class-side aware; primitives → DNU fallback. Also fixed top-level `| temps |` parsing in `st-parse` (the absence of which was silently aborting earlier eval/dnu tests — counts go from 274 → 287, with previously-skipped tests now actually running).
+- 2026-04-25: `doesNotUnderstand:` + 12 DNU tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/dnu.sx`). Bootstrap installs `Message` (with selector/arguments accessors). Primitives signal `:unhandled` instead of erroring; `st-dnu` builds a Message and walks `doesNotUnderstand:` lookup. User Object DNU intercepts unknown sends to native receivers (Number, String, Block) too. 267/267 total.
+- 2026-04-25: method-lookup cache (`st-method-cache` keyed by `class|selector|side`, stores `:not-found` for misses). Invalidation on define/add/remove + bootstrap. `st-class-remove-method!` added. Stats helpers + 10 cache tests; 255/255 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `smalltalk-eval-ast` + 60 eval tests (`lib/smalltalk/eval.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/eval.sx`). Frame chain with mutable locals/ivars (via `dict-set!`), full literal eval, send dispatch (user methods + native primitive tables for Number/String/Boolean/Nil/Array/Block/Class), block closures, while/to:do:, cascades returning last, sentinel-based `^return`. User Point class round-trip works including `+` returning a fresh point. 245/245 total.
+- 2026-04-25: class table + bootstrap (`lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/runtime.sx`). Canonical hierarchy, type→class mapping for native SX values, instance construction, ivar inheritance, method install with `:defining-class` stamp, instance- and class-side method lookup walking the superclass chain. 54 new tests, 185/185 total.
+- 2026-04-25: chunk-stream parser + pragmas + 21 chunk/pragma tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/parse_chunks.sx`). `st-read-chunks` (with `!!` doubling), `st-parse-chunks` state machine for `methodsFor:` batches incl. class-side. Pragmas with multiple keyword pairs, signed numeric / string / symbol args, in either pragma-then-temps or temps-then-pragma order. 131/131 tests pass.
+- 2026-04-25: expression-level parser + 47 parse tests (`lib/smalltalk/parser.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`). Full message precedence (unary > binary > keyword), cascades, blocks with params/temps, literal/byte arrays, assignment chain, method headers (unary/binary/keyword). Chunk-format `! !` driver deferred to a follow-up box. 110/110 tests pass.
+- 2026-04-25: tokenizer + 63 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tokenizer.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/tokenize.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/test.sh`). All token types covered except scaled decimals `1.5s2` (deferred). `#(` and `#[` emit open tokens; literal-array contents lexed as ordinary tokens for the parser to interpret.
