go: lex.sx — keywords, ident/int/string/rune lits, comments, ops, ASI + 78 tests [consumes-lex]

First Go-on-SX iteration. Tokenizer consumes lib/guest/lex.sx character-class
predicates. Automatic semicolon insertion per Go spec § Semicolons fires on
newline, EOF, and block comments containing a newline, after
ident/int/string/rune/{break,continue,fallthrough,return}/{++,--,),],}}.

Scoreboard + conformance.sh wired; lex 78/78. Plan Phase 1 sub-items
checked; floats/raw-strings/hex-ints still ⬜.

 _Newest first._
 
-- **2026-06-30 retire separate `lists-ext.sx` — fold stdlib BIFs into canonical files** — The 8 stdlib commits had lived in a standalone `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx` (a workaround for this worktree's broken sx-tree write tools). Folded the function bodies into `transpile.sx` (appended, alongside the existing `er-bif-lists-*`) and moved the registrations **directly inside `er-register-builtin-bifs!`** in `runtime.sx` — so they now reach every erlang consumer (fed-sx, identity, …) that loads the runtime, not just the conformance harness. The `er-register-builtin-bifs!` **wrapper trick is gone** (no longer needed once registrations live inside the function the registry-reset re-runs). Deleted `lists-ext.sx` and its `(load …)` from `conformance.sh`; kept the `lists_ext` test suite + wiring. Byte-exact splice (no transcription), `sx_validate` clean, conformance **874/874** unchanged. Mirrors the same fold-in landed on the `architecture` branch (commit `39dbb00c`, equivalence verified: identical test suite + function bodies). loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `proplists` module** — Added `proplists:get_value/2,3`, `get_all_values/2`, `is_defined/2`, `lookup/2`, `delete/2` to `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx` (header widened to "lists + proplists"). Property-list semantics: a bare atom `A` is shorthand for `{A, true}`, a tuple's first element is the key, lookups use the first match. `lookup` returns the tuple (or `{Key,true}`) or `none`; `get_value` defaults to `undefined`. The `lists_ext` suite (counter trio `er-lx-*`, now spanning both modules) 91→**103** (+12). Conformance **862 → 874/874**. loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `lists` flatmap/filtermap/mapfoldl/search** — Added `flatmap/2`, `filtermap/2` (`true` keep / `false` drop / `{true, V}` transform), `mapfoldl/3` (returns `{MappedList, AccFinal}`), `search/2` (`{value, E}` | `false`) to `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx`. `lists_ext` suite 83→**91** (+8). Conformance **854 → 862/862**. The `lists` module is now broadly covered (sort/usort/keylists/fold/partition/while/flatten/min/max/zip/slicing/flatmap/filtermap/mapfoldl/search on top of the originals). loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `lists` slicing** — Added `sublist/2`, `sublist/3`, `nthtail/2`, `split/2`, `droplast/1` to `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx`. `sublist` is lenient (clamps to list length); `nthtail/2` and `split/2` are strict (`badarg` when the list is shorter than N, matching the stdlib); `droplast/1` raises on `[]`. `lists_ext` suite 70→**83** (+13). Conformance **841 → 854/854**. loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `lists` zip family** — Added `zip/2`, `zipwith/3`, `unzip/1` to `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx`. Length mismatch (zip/zipwith) and malformed/non-pair elements (unzip) raise `badarg` (port equivalent of Erlang's `function_clause`). `lists_ext` suite 62→**70** (+8, incl. a zip/unzip roundtrip). Conformance **833 → 841/841**. loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `lists` flatten/max/min** — Added `flatten/1` (deep recursive flatten via `er-list-append`), `max/1`, `min/1` (full term order via `er-ext-lt?`, `badarg` on empty) to `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx`. Gotcha caught: `er-ext-lt?` returns a raw SX boolean, so the extreme-finder uses it directly in `if` rather than wrapping in `er-truthy?` (which only recognises Erlang bool atoms, not SX booleans — the first cut wrapped it and silently never updated the running best). `lists_ext` suite 52→**62** (+10). Conformance **823 → 833/833**. loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `lists` higher-order traversal** — Added `foldr/3`, `partition/2`, `takewhile/2`, `dropwhile/2`, `splitwith/2` to `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx`, registered pure through the `er-register-builtin-bifs!` wrapper (consistent with the existing pure `map`/`filter`/`foldl`). `foldr` right-folds (order-preserving when consing); `partition` returns `{Satisfying, NotSatisfying}` order-preserved via `er-list-reverse-iter`; `splitwith` = `{takewhile, dropwhile}`. `lists_ext` suite 38→**52** (+14). Conformance **809 → 823/823**. loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `lists` keylists** — Added the keylist family to `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx`: `keyfind/3`, `keymember/3`, `keydelete/3`, `keyreplace/4`, `keystore/4`, `keytake/3`, `keysort/2`. All operate on lists of tuples keyed on element N (1-indexed), act on the first match only, and pass through non-tuples / tuples shorter than N. Key comparison is `==` (`er-equal?`) per the stdlib; `keysort/2` reuses the stable `er-ext-msort` + `er-ext-lt?` from the sort commit, comparing extracted keys. `keytake/3` returns `{value, Tuple, Rest}` / `false`. Registered through the same `er-register-builtin-bifs!` wrapper so they survive registry resets. `lists_ext` suite 17→**38** (+21: hit/miss/first-match-only/short-tuple-skip across all seven, keysort by elem 1 and 2 + stability). Conformance **788 → 809/809**. Test-harness note: `element(2, T)` returns an integer (no `:name`), so those two cases compare the raw number via `erlang-eval-ast` rather than `er-lx-nm`. loops/erlang only.
-
-- **2026-06-30 stdlib hardening — `lists:sort/1,2` + `lists:usort/1`** — Roadmap is saturated within this loop's scope (every remaining `[ ]` is blocked: `httpc`/`sqlite` on absent host primitives, 10a/10c on out-of-scope `lib/compiler.sx`). Continued as forever-loop hardening by filling idiomatic-Erlang stdlib gaps. Added the `lists` sort family in a **new file `lib/erlang/lists-ext.sx`** (loaded after `runtime.sx`): stable merge sort over an SX-list bridge, registered via `er-register-pure-bif!`. `lists:sort/1` and `usort/1` use full Erlang term order; `sort/2` takes a `fun(A,B)->bool` comparator. **Two notable findings:** (1) the shared `er-lt?` (transpile.sx) only deep-compares numbers/atoms/strings and treats *any two tuples (or lists) as order-equal* — so `lists:sort` (and, latently, `min/2`/`max/2`) would not order compound terms. Fixed locally with a self-contained `er-ext-lt?` that compares tuples by arity-then-elementwise and lists elementwise (shorter proper prefix first), delegating cross-type cases to `er-lt?`. `er-lt?` itself left untouched (shared by the `<` operator; can't edit transpile.sx — see Blockers). (2) `tests/runtime.sx` resets the BIF registry mid-run via `er-register-builtin-bifs!`, which would wipe a one-shot registration; so `lists-ext.sx` **wraps** `er-register-builtin-bifs!` to re-add its BIFs on every rebuild. New `lists_ext` suite (17 tests: term order, dup-keeping, stability, descending comparator, usort dedup). Conformance **771 → 788/788** (12→13 suites). New-file workaround forced because every sx-tree write tool (incl. `sx_write_file`) raises yojson "Expected string, got null" in this worktree — authored via the `Write` fallback + `sx_validate`, the same pattern other loops use. loops/erlang only.
-
 - **2026-05-18 Phase 8 host-primitive BIFs wired (crypto / cid / file:list_dir)** — `loops/fed-prims` (merged at architecture `380bc69f`) delivered the platform primitives; wired the 3 previously-BLOCKED Phase 8 BIF groups in `lib/erlang/runtime.sx` as `er-register-pure-bif!`/`er-register-bif!` entries with term marshalling at the boundary. **`crypto:hash/2`** → `crypto-sha256`/`crypto-sha512`/`crypto-sha3-256`; atom `Type` dispatch, `er-source-to-string` for `Data`, host hex result → raw bytes via new `er-hexval`/`er-hex->bytes`, returns Erlang binary; bad type/arg → `error:badarg`. **`cid:from_bytes/1`** → `cid-from-bytes` with raw codec `0x55` + sha2-256 multihash assembled in SX (`[0x12,0x20]++digest`); **`cid:to_string/1`** → `cid-from-sx` of `er-format-value` (cbor-encode rejects `er-to-sx`-marshalled symbols; the canonical string form is total + deterministic). **`file:list_dir/1`** → `file-list-dir`, `{ok,[Binary]}` via `er-of-sx` / `{error,Reason}` reusing `er-classify-file-error`. Test gotcha caught + fixed: this Erlang port's binary parser only supports integer/var segments — `<<"abc">>` string-binary literals silently produce **empty** binaries, so the first-cut distinct-input tests compared two empty inputs and failed; rewrote ffi inputs to integer-segment binaries (`<<97,98,99>>`). ffi suite 14→**28** (3 BLOCKED negative-asserts flipped to positive+negative functional tests; `httpc`/`sqlite` kept as deferred unregistered-asserts per fed-prims handoff). Built `sx_server.exe` (dune, opam 5.2.0) at `380bc69f`; full conformance **729/729** (eval 385/385, vm 78/78, **ffi 28/28**, all process suites green). loops/erlang only — not merged, not pushed to architecture.
 
 - **2026-05-18 FIXED merge-blocking regression: cyclic-env hang in `er-env-derived-from?`** — A trial merge of loops/erlang → architecture regressed Erlang **715/715 → 0/0** on the architecture binary. Bisected: not loader semantics, not a uniform slowdown — pinpointed to the *single* Phase 7 capstone test (eval.sx lines 1314-1346; prefix-1313 was byte-identical speed on both binaries, 27s, prefix-1346 was 28s on loops vs >5min/hung on architecture). Isolated further: spawn+reload alone 0.6s, reload+purge alone 0.3s, but spawn+reload+**purge over forever-blocked procs** hung. Root cause: `er-env-derived-from?` (transpile.sx, used by `code:purge`/`soft_purge` via `er-procs-on-env`) compared closure envs with `(= env target-env)`. loops/erlang's evaluator implements dict `=` as **object identity**; architecture's 131-commit-newer evaluator changed it to **structural deep equality**. Erlang closure envs are large and **cyclic** (a module fun's `:env` transitively references the fun), so structural `=` over them never terminates. Fix: use `identical?` (pointer-identity predicate, present + consistent `(true false)` on *both* binaries) — the actually-intended semantics and host-independent. Verified: full eval.sx on the architecture binary >200s/hung → **59s**; full 10-suite conformance on the architecture binary now **715/715** (eval 385/385, vm 78/78, ffi 14/14, all process suites green). loops/erlang behaviour unchanged (`identical?` ≡ its old `=`-identity). One-file change (`lib/erlang/transpile.sx`, +7/-2). The merge can now be re-attempted; this was the sole blocker.

 ## Blockers
 
-- **sx-tree WRITE tools broken in this worktree** (2026-06-30). Every sx-tree edit/write tool (`sx_replace_node`, `sx_insert_child`, `sx_insert_near`, …) **and even `sx_write_file`** raise `Yojson.Util.Type_error("Expected string, got null")` against the `mcp_tree.exe` bound in `.mcp.json` (the `/root/rose-ash/...` main-worktree binary). Read/comprehension tools (`sx_validate`, `sx_find_all`, `sx_eval`, `sx_read_*`) work fine. **Workaround:** author/edit `.sx` files with the plain `Write` tool, then `sx_validate` — the same fallback other loops document (see `project_host_on_sx.md`, `project_content_on_sx.md` memory). This is why new `lib/erlang` BIFs land as fresh files (e.g. `lists-ext.sx`) rather than in-place edits to the large `transpile.sx`/`runtime.sx`. Real fix: rebuild `mcp_tree.exe` from current `hosts/ocaml` (out of this loop's binary-build scope) or repoint `.mcp.json` at a fixed binary.
-
 - **Phase 10a — opcode emission requires `lib/compiler.sx` (out of scope)** (2026-05-15). Architecture fully traced this iteration: the OCaml JIT (`sx_vm.ml` `jit_compile_lambda`, ref-set at line 1206) invokes the SX-level `compile` from **`lib/compiler.sx`** via the CEK machine; that is the sole SX→bytecode producer. Erlang's hot helpers (`er-match-tuple`, `er-bif-*`, …) are SX functions in `transpile.sx` that get JIT-compiled through this path. To emit `erlang.OP_*` they must be recognized as intrinsics inside `compiler.sx`'s `compile-call` (the file's own docstring already anticipates this: "Compilers call `extension-opcode-id` to emit extension opcodes" — designed, not yet implemented). `lib/compiler.sx` is **lib-root**, excluded by the ground rules ("Don't edit lib/ root") and absent from the widened `lib/erlang/** + hosts/ocaml/** (extension only)` scope — editing it changes every guest language's JIT, so it must be owned by a shared-compiler session, not this loop. **Fix path:** that session implements 10a.1 (intrinsic registry in `compiler.sx`) + 10a.2 (`compile-call` emits the opcode when registered & `extension-opcode-id` non-nil, else generic CALL). Erlang's BIF handlers (10b, ids 230-239, all real) light up the instant emission exists — zero further work here. The control opcodes (222-229) additionally need 10a.3 (operand contract) + OCaml↔SX runtime-state bridging (Erlang scheduler/mailbox live in `lib/erlang/runtime.sx`, not OCaml).
 
 - **Phase 9g — Perf bench gated on 9a** (2026-05-14). The conformance half of 9g (709/709 with stub VM loaded) is satisfied; the perf-bench half requires 9a's bytecode compiler to actually emit the new opcodes at hot call sites. Until then a benchmark would measure today's `er-bif-*` / `er-match-*` numbers unchanged (since the stub handlers wrap them 1-to-1). Re-fire 9g after 9a lands.

-- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick boxes.
+1. **Bidirectional static type checking** — annotation-driven, locally-
+   inferred, the dominant paradigm of modern statically-typed languages.
+2. **Anonymous-channel concurrency** — Go's `chan` and `select`. Erlang has
+   addressed processes + mailboxes; Go has anonymous values + structural
+   pairing. Two different vocabularies for the same underlying scheduler
+   machinery.
+3. **Structural interfaces** — `io.Reader` is "anything with this method
+   signature", not a declared subtype relationship. Different from Haskell
+   typeclasses (nominal), different from Lua duck typing (no declaration).
+
+These three together make Go an unusually high-value port for proving SX.
+If SX can host Go cleanly, it can host the next decade of mainstream
+statically-typed languages (Rust, TS, Swift, Kotlin, Scala 3, Hack) because
+they share these three properties.
+
+Like Erlang-on-SX validated the actor model on the substrate, Go-on-SX
+validates the goroutine model + bidirectional types.
+
+## Non-goals (deliberate)
+
+Out of scope. Reject feature requests for these without further consideration:
+
+- **`unsafe` package.** Memory mucking. Skip entirely.
+- **CGo.** C interop. Out of scope at every level.
+- **Full `reflect`.** Provide enough for `fmt.Println` to render values;
+  reject the rest.
+- **Build tags, modules, vendoring.** Treat source as monolithic. One
+  package per file, no real import resolution.
+- **Production performance.** Conformance tests pass; benchmarks don't.
+- **Garbage collection tuning.** SX's GC is what you get.
+- **Race detector, escape analysis, inlining.** Out of scope.
+- **`os`, `net/http`, full stdlib.** Provide a deliberately small slice

-- [ ] Functions: named + anonymous, multiple return values (SX multiple values, Phase 8)
+| `runtime` | 60+ | Goroutines, channels, select, close |
-- [ ] Structs → SX hash tables; field access `.field`; struct literals `T{f: v}`
+| `stdlib` | 40+ | fmt, strings, strconv, sync, time, errors |
-- [ ] Slices → SX vectors; `len`, `cap`, `append`, `copy`, slice expressions `s[a:b]`
+| `e2e` | 10+ | Complete representative programs |
-- [ ] Maps → SX hash tables; `make(map[K]V)`, `m[k]`, `m[k] = v`, `delete(m, k)`,
-      comma-ok `v, ok := m[k]`
-- [ ] Pointers — modelled as single-element mutable vectors; `&x` creates wrapper, `*p` dereferences
-- [ ] `fmt.Println`/`fmt.Printf`/`fmt.Sprintf` → SX IO perform (print)
-- [ ] 40+ eval tests in `lib/go/tests/eval.sx`
 
-### Phase 3 — defer / panic / recover
+## Phasing — one feature per commit
-- [ ] Defer stack per function frame — SX list of thunks, run LIFO on return
-- [ ] `defer` statement pushes thunk; transpiler wraps function body in try/finally equivalent
-- [ ] `panic(v)` → `raise` with Go panic wrapper
-- [ ] `recover()` → catches panic value inside a deferred function; returns nil otherwise
-- [ ] Panic propagation across call stack until recovered or fatal
-- [ ] Tests: defer ordering, panic/recover, panic in goroutine without recover
 
-### Phase 4 — goroutines + channels
+Loop-style. Each phase: implement → test → commit → tick `[ ]` → append
-- [ ] Coroutine-based goroutine type using SX coroutine primitive (Phase 4 of primitives)
+Progress-log line → push `origin/loops/go`.
-- [ ] Round-robin scheduler in `lib/go/runtime.sx`: maintains run queue, steps each
-      goroutine one turn at a time, suspends at channel ops
-- [ ] Unbuffered channels: `make(chan T)` → rendezvous point; send suspends until receive
-      and vice versa. Implemented as a pair of waiting queues + `cek-resume`.
-- [ ] Buffered channels: `make(chan T, n)` → circular buffer; send only blocks when full,
-      receive only blocks when empty
-- [ ] `close(ch)` — mark channel closed; receivers drain then get zero value + `false`
-- [ ] `select` — scheduler inspects all cases, picks a ready one (random if multiple),
-      blocks if none ready until at least one becomes ready
-- [ ] `go fn(args)` — spawns new goroutine on run queue
-- [ ] `time.Sleep(d)` — yields current goroutine, re-queues after d milliseconds
-      (simulated with IO perform timer)
-- [ ] Tests: ping-pong, fan-out, fan-in, select with default, range over channel
 
-### Phase 5 — interfaces
+### Phase 1 — Tokenizer (`lib/go/lex.sx`) ⬜
-- [ ] Interface type → SX dict `{:type "T" :methods {...}}` dispatch table
+- [x] Scaffold + scoreboard + conformance runner (consumes lib/guest/lex.sx)
-- [ ] `interface{}` / `any` → any SX value (already implicit)
+- [x] Identifiers + 25 keywords
-- [ ] Type assertion `v.(T)` → check `:type` field, panic if mismatch
+- [x] Decimal integer literals
-- [ ] Type switch `switch v.(type) { case T: ... }` → dispatches on `:type`
+- [x] Interpreted string literals `"..."` with `\n \t \r \\ \" \'` escapes
-- [ ] Method sets — structs implement interfaces implicitly if they have the right methods
+- [x] Rune literals `'x'` (single char + simple escapes)
-- [ ] Value vs pointer receivers — pointer receiver gets the mutable vector wrapper
+- [x] Line + block comments (block w/ newline triggers ASI)
-- [ ] Built-in interfaces: `error` (`Error() string`), `Stringer` (`String() string`)
+- [x] Common operator/punct set incl. `:= <- ++ -- == != <= >= && || ...`
-- [ ] Tests: interface satisfaction, type assertion, type switch, error interface
+- [x] **Automatic semicolon insertion** (Go spec § Semicolons) — newline,
+      EOF, and block-comment-with-newline trigger `;` after
+      ident/int/string/rune/{break,continue,fallthrough,return}/{++,--,),],}}.
+- [ ] Float / imaginary literals
+- [ ] Raw string literals `` `...` ``
+- [ ] Hex/octal/binary integer literals (0x… 0o… 0b…) + underscores
+- [ ] Full operator set audit (47 distinct per Go spec)
+- **Acceptance:** lex/ suite at 50+ tests. Current: 78/78.
 
-### Phase 6 — standard library subset
+### Phase 2 — Parser (`lib/go/parse.sx`) ⬜
-- [ ] `fmt` — `Println`, `Printf`, `Sprintf`, `Fprintf`, `Errorf`, `Stringer` dispatch
+- Consume `lib/guest/core/pratt.sx` + `lib/guest/core/ast.sx`. Chisel notes
-- [ ] `strings` — `Contains`, `HasPrefix`, `HasSuffix`, `Split`, `Join`, `TrimSpace`,
+  `consumes-pratt consumes-ast`.
-      `ToUpper`, `ToLower`, `Replace`, `Index`, `Count`, `Repeat`
+- Grammar coverage:
-- [ ] `strconv` — `Itoa`, `Atoi`, `FormatFloat`, `ParseFloat`, `ParseInt`, `FormatInt`
+  - Declarations: `package`, `import`, `var`, `const`, `type`, `func`
-- [ ] `math` — full surface via SX math primitives (Phase 15)
+  - Types: basic, slice `[]T`, array `[N]T`, map `map[K]V`, chan `chan T`,
-- [ ] `sort` — `sort.Slice`, `sort.Ints`, `sort.Strings`
+    func `func(...)...`, struct, interface, pointer `*T`
-- [ ] `errors` — `errors.New`, `errors.Is`, `errors.As`
+  - Expressions: literals, identifier, call, index `[]`, slice `[a:b]`,
-- [ ] `sync` — `sync.Mutex` (cooperative — just a boolean flag + goroutine queue),
+    type assertion `v.(T)`, operators
-      `sync.WaitGroup`, `sync.Once`
+  - Statements: `if`/`else`, `for` (C-style + range), `switch`, `select`,
-- [ ] `io` — `io.Reader`/`io.Writer` interfaces; `io.ReadAll`; `strings.NewReader`
+    `return`, `defer`, `go`, `break`/`continue`, assign, short-decl `:=`,
+    send `ch <- v`, recv `<-ch`
+- Output: SX-shaped AST per `lib/guest/core/ast.sx` conventions.
+- Tests: round-trip parse of hello world, fibonacci, FizzBuzz, goroutine
+  ping-pong, struct + method.
+- **Acceptance:** parse/ suite at 80+ tests.
 
-### Phase 7 — full conformance target
+### Phase 3 — Bidirectional type checker, MVP (`lib/go/types.sx`) ⬜
-- [ ] Vendor a Go test suite or hand-build 100+ program tests in `lib/go/tests/programs/`
+- **Independent implementation.** Do NOT use lib/guest/static-types-
-- [ ] Drive scoreboard
+  bidirectional/ — that kit doesn't exist yet and depends on this work
+  for its design. See `plans/lib-guest-static-types-bidirectional.md`.
+- Synth + check judgments. Context as a value (per-block scope).
+- Coverage MVP: declared-type variables, function signatures (params +
+  returns), call type-checking, simple composite types (slice, map, chan
+  element), interface satisfaction (structural match against method sets),
+  short variable declaration `:=` (synth from RHS).
+- **Untyped constants.** `42` has type `untyped int` until contextualised;
+  this is the canonical pitfall (see Gotchas below).
+- Defer: generics (Phase 7), full conversion rules.
+- Tests: positive (type-correct programs check) + negative (mismatched
+  types fail with informative errors carrying AST paths).
+- **Acceptance:** types/ suite at 60+ tests. Chisel note `shapes-static-
+  types-bidirectional` — append a paragraph to the sister plan's design
+  diary describing what synth/check shape emerged.
+
+### Phase 4 — Tree-walk evaluator (`lib/go/eval.sx`) ⬜
+- AST-walking interpreter over CEK. Each Go statement maps to one step
+  function (precedent: `step-sf-if` etc. in spec/evaluator.sx).
+- Variables: mutable cells. Pointer semantics: `&x` returns the cell,
+  `*p` dereferences.
+- Slices: triple (length, capacity, backing-vector). `append` honours
+  capacity-grow per spec.
+- Maps: SX dict + key-type metadata.
+- Structs: SX dict + type tag. Methods looked up via type's method table.
+- Functions: closures over enclosing scope; multiple return values.
+- Channels: stub (Phase 5 wires them).
+- Tests: arithmetic, control flow, recursion, closures, slices, maps,
+  structs, methods, pointer semantics, multiple-return.
+- **Acceptance:** eval/ suite at 80+ tests. No concurrency yet.
+
+### Phase 5 — Goroutines + channels + select (`lib/go/sched.sx`) ⬜
+- **Independent implementation.** Do NOT use lib/guest/scheduler/ — that
+  kit doesn't exist yet and depends on this work for its design. See
+  `plans/lib-guest-scheduler.md`.
+- `go expr` — spawn a goroutine; returns nothing.
+- `chan T` — `make(chan T)` creates an unbuffered channel; `make(chan T,n)`
+  creates a buffered channel (Phase 5b — defer buffer to a sub-phase).
+- `<-ch` — receive (blocks until sender ready).
+- `ch <- v` — send (blocks until receiver ready for unbuffered, or buffer
+  has room for buffered).
+- `select { case ... }` — non-deterministic multiplexing; `default` makes
+  it non-blocking.
+- `close(ch)` — closes channel. Receive on closed → zero value + ok=false.
+- Tests: ping-pong, fan-out/fan-in, work queue, select with default,
+  select with timeout (via a `time.After`-like stub), close semantics,
+  range over channel.
+- **Acceptance:** runtime/ suite at 40+ tests. Chisel note `shapes-
+  scheduler` — append a paragraph to the sister plan's design diary
+  describing what task-spawn/block/wake/yield shape emerged.
+
+### Phase 5b — Buffered channels + select fairness ⬜
+- Buffered: send blocks only when buffer full; recv only when empty.
+- `select` random case ordering (spec mandates pseudo-random; v1 uses a
+  fixed seed for determinism with a `runtime`-package knob to randomise).
+- Tests: buffer-full blocking, buffer-empty blocking, select fairness
+  over many iterations.
+- **Acceptance:** runtime/ +20 tests.
+
+### Phase 6 — `defer` + panic/recover ⬜
+- Defer stack per function frame; runs LIFO on return (normal or panic).
+- `panic(v)` unwinds frames running deferreds; `recover()` inside a
+  deferred fn captures the panic value and stops unwinding.
+- Goroutine panic propagation: a panicking goroutine that doesn't recover
+  crashes the whole program (honour Go spec, or document divergence).
+- Tests: defer order (LIFO), defer + named-return mutation, panic/recover,
+  panic across goroutines, defer in a loop (push per iter, run on fn
+  return — common bug).
+- **Acceptance:** eval/ +20 tests.
+
+### Phase 7 — Generics (Go 1.18+) ⬜
+- Type parameters with constraints (type sets: `interface{ int | float64
+  }`, `comparable`, `any`).
+- Type inference at call sites — basic; the full Go inference algorithm
+  is notoriously complex. Implement enough for common cases; document
+  limitations in a Blockers section below.
+- Tests: generic function (`func Map[T, U any](xs []T, f func(T) U) []U`),
+  generic data structure (linked list), constrained type param.
+- **Acceptance:** types/ +30 tests.
+
+### Phase 8 — Minimal stdlib (`lib/go/std/`) ⬜
+- Implement just what's needed for representative programs:
+  - `fmt` — `Println`, `Printf`, `Sprintf`, `Fprintf`, `Errorf`,
+    `Stringer` dispatch. Verbs: `%d %s %v %t %f %T %+v`.
+  - `strings` — `Contains`, `HasPrefix`, `HasSuffix`, `Split`, `Join`,
+    `TrimSpace`, `ToUpper`, `ToLower`, `Replace`, `Index`, `Count`,
+    `Repeat`, `NewReader`.
+  - `strconv` — `Itoa`, `Atoi`, `FormatFloat`, `ParseFloat`, `ParseInt`,
+    `FormatInt`.
+  - `errors` — `New`, `Is`, `As`, `Unwrap`.
+  - `sync` — `Mutex` (cooperative — flag + waiter queue), `WaitGroup`,
+    `Once`, `RWMutex`.
+  - `time` — `Now`, `Since`, `After` (channel-returning timer), `Sleep`,
+    `Duration`, `Time`.
+  - `io` — `Reader`/`Writer` interfaces; `ReadAll`; `Copy`.
+  - `sort` — `Slice`, `Ints`, `Strings`.
+- Tests: round-trip Itoa/Atoi, fmt verb coverage, sync.WaitGroup with
+  goroutines, time.After in a select, sort.Slice with custom less fn.
+- **Acceptance:** stdlib/ suite at 40+ tests.
+
+### Phase 9 — End-to-end programs ⬜
+- Complete programs from canonical sources (gopl.io, "concurrency
+  patterns" talk examples) running end-to-end:
+  - Concurrent prime sieve
+  - HTTP-ish ping-pong over stubbed transport
+  - Word frequency counter
+  - Pipeline (channel chain)
+  - Producer/consumer with sync.WaitGroup
+  - "Bounded parallelism" pattern (worker pool over a job channel)
+- **Acceptance:** e2e/ suite at 10+ tests, all passing.
+
+### Phase 10 — lib/guest extraction enabler ⬜
+- Now that Go has lex+parse+types+eval+sched, sister plans are unblocked
+  on the Go side. This phase is **doc-only** in `loops/go`:
+  - Cross-reference `plans/lib-guest-scheduler.md` — mark its Phase 1
+    (Go scheduler independent) as complete from Go's side.
+  - Cross-reference `plans/lib-guest-static-types-bidirectional.md` —
+    mark its Phase 1 as complete from Go's side.
+  - Update the chiselling diary in each sister plan with the actual
+    Go-side surface that emerged.
+- **Acceptance:** sister plans cross-referenced + diaries updated. No
+  new Go code.
+
+### Phase 11 — VM bytecode opcodes (deferred, optional) ⬜
+- Following Erlang-on-SX Phase 10 precedent: identify hot paths in the
+  tree-walk evaluator, define Go-specific bytecode opcodes, compile hot
+  fns through them. Substantial work; only justified if Go programs
+  exercise enough volume that performance starts mattering.
+- **Acceptance:** TBD on demand.
+
+## Ground rules (loop-style)
+
+- **Scope:** only `lib/go/**` and this plan. Do not touch `spec/`,
+  `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/guest/**` (read-only consumer at this phase),
+  or other `lib/<lang>/`.
+- **Consume `lib/guest/core/`** for lex/parse/ast/match/layout. Hand-
+  rolling defeats the chiselling goal.
+- **Do NOT extract into `lib/guest/scheduler/` or `lib/guest/static-
+  types-bidirectional/` from this loop.** Those extractions are gated on
+  two consumers AND the discipline of writing each consumer
+  independently. Extraction is its own workstream after Go and the
+  second consumer both exist.
+- **Substrate gaps** → Blockers entry with minimal repro. Don't fix the
+  substrate from this loop. Belongs to `sx-improvements.md`.
+- **NEVER call `sx_build` without timeout awareness** — 600s watchdog.
+- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after every edit.
+- **Worktree:** branch `loops/go`, push `origin/loops/go`. Never `main`,
+  never `architecture`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit. Short factual messages:
+  `go: parse short-decl + 6 tests [consumes-pratt]`. Chisel note at end
+  in brackets.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
+- **If blocked** for two iterations on the same issue, add to Blockers
+  and move on. Phases 1-4 are sequential; Phases 5-8 are largely
+  independent once 4 lands.
+
+## Chisel discipline (per parent lib-guest plan)
+
+Every commit ends its message with a chisel note in brackets:
+
+- `[consumes-X]` — used `lib/guest/X` kit.
+- `[shapes-scheduler]` / `[shapes-static-types-bidirectional]` — revealed
+  something about what the sister lib-guest kits should look like. Add a
+  paragraph to the relevant sister plan's design diary.
+- `[proposes-Y]` — revealed a gap in another existing kit. Blockers entry
+  in the kit's plan.
+- `[nothing]` — pure Go work that didn't touch substrate or lib/guest
+  story. Acceptable; if it shows up twice in a row, stop and reflect.
+
+## Go-specific gotchas
+
+- **ASI (automatic semicolon insertion).** Newline becomes `;` after
+  identifier/literal/`)`/`]`/`}`. Build into the tokenizer; the Go spec's
+  "Semicolons" section is unusually precise — follow it literally.
+- **Untyped constants.** `42` has type `untyped int` until used in a
+  context that forces a type. The canonical example: `var x float64 = 42
+  / 7` — must compute as `untyped int / untyped int = 6` then convert to
+  `float64 = 6.0`. Wrong: float-coercing eagerly gives 6.0 prematurely.
+  Wrong: integer-truncating after coercion gives `5.something`. Test it.
+- **Methods vs functions.** `func (r Receiver) Method()` is a method
+  bound to a type; `func Function(r Receiver)` is just a function.
+  Methods on pointer-receivers vs value-receivers have asymmetric
+  satisfaction in interfaces — pointer-receiver methods are NOT in the
+  value's method set for interface satisfaction.
+- **Interface satisfaction is structural and silent.** Type satisfies an
+  interface if its method set contains all the interface's methods.
+  Lazy check: at every point a value flows into an interface-typed slot.
+- **Channels are first-class values.** Pass them, store them, send them
+  through other channels. Each channel has identity.
+- **`select` with `default`** = non-blocking. Without `default`, blocks
+  until a case is ready.
+- **`nil` is typed.** `var x *int` makes x a `(*int)(nil)`. Comparison
+  `x == nil` works on typed nil; but `var i interface{} = (*int)(nil); i
+  == nil` is `false` — i holds a typed-nil-of-type-`*int`, not untyped
+  nil. The classic Go footgun. Test it.
+- **Goroutine panic propagation.** A panicking goroutine that doesn't
+  recover crashes the whole program. Implement faithfully or document
+  divergence.
+- **`defer` in a loop.** Each iteration pushes; they all run on function
+  return. Common bug; tests should cover.
+- **Iteration order of maps.** Spec: unspecified. v1 = sorted by SX-
+  canonical key order for determinism; document that programs depending
+  on iteration order are not Go-conformant. Add a `runtime`-package knob
+  to enable randomisation later.
+
+## Style
+
+- No comments in `.sx` unless non-obvious. Cite Go spec sections inline
+  for non-obvious decisions (Go's spec is rigorous; citations work).
+- No new planning docs — update this plan inline.
+- One feature per iteration. Commit. Log. Push. Next.
+
+## Open questions
+
+1. **Module/import model.** Go has packages and import paths. Probably
+   model "package" as one or more `.sx` files in a directory, no real
+   import resolution against a remote module graph. Decide in Phase 2.
+2. **Goroutine identity.** Spec says goroutines have no identity; the
+   scheduler does internally. Expose to user code? No (not Go). Expose
+   for debugging? Yes via a `runtime`-package stub.
+3. **Error handling: panic-as-exception vs explicit error returns.** Go
+   strongly prefers explicit errors. Stdlib stubs follow that: `strconv.
+   Atoi("x")` returns `(0, err)`, not panic.
+4. **Memory model.** Go has a happens-before model for atomics + channel
+   ops. SX runtime is single-threaded under the scheduler — every channel
+   op is a synchronization point automatically. Don't model relaxed
+   memory; document the simplification.
+5. **Iteration order of maps.** Already addressed in Gotchas; flagged
+   here as a known divergence from spec.

+# lib/guest/scheduler — extraction plan
+
+Two distinct concurrency models — Erlang's addressed processes + mailboxes, and
+Go's anonymous channels + goroutines — sit on the same underlying machinery:
+a fork/yield/block/resume scheduler over CEK io-suspended continuations. This
+plan captures that machinery as `lib/guest/scheduler/` so language N+1 with a
+new concurrency model costs ~200 lines of model-specific code instead of
+re-inventing the scheduler.
+
+Reference: `plans/lib-guest.md` (parent — two-language rule, stratification),
+`plans/erlang-on-sx.md` (first consumer, in production), Go-on-SX (second
+consumer, see `plans/go-on-sx.md` once that lands).
+
+**Branch:** `architecture`. SX files via `sx-tree` MCP only.
+
+## Thesis
+
+The substrate already provides what a scheduler needs: CEK io-suspension
+(`make-cek-suspended`, `cek-resume`) gives suspendable execution; first-class
+environments give each unit of execution its own scope; the trampolined
+evaluator means we never blow the host stack. What every guest with concurrency
+*re-implements* on top of this is the **fork/yield/block/resume protocol** —
+the bookkeeping that decides which suspended computation runs next.
+
+Two concrete consumers, two different concurrency vocabularies, sharing one
+underlying scheduler, is the proof. If only Erlang lives on it, "scheduler kit"
+is a euphemism for "Erlang scheduler with a Go skin." The two-language rule
+is the gate.
+
+## Current state (2026-05-26)
+
+- **Erlang-on-SX** has the full pattern in production: 729/729 conformance,
+  spawn/send/receive, selective receive, monitor/link, hot reload. The
+  scheduler logic is currently coupled to Erlang-shaped concepts (PIDs,
+  mailboxes, links) — extraction-blocking but not extraction-defeating.
+- **Go-on-SX** does not exist yet. `plans/go-on-sx.md` is the umbrella plan
+  (TBD); this scheduler plan is a sibling/dependency.
+- **lib/guest/scheduler/** does not exist. The two-language rule blocks
+  extraction until Go-on-SX independently implements its scheduler.
+
+**Status: Phase 0 (Erlang shape capture).** No code change in this plan yet.
+
+## Why the two models actually share a kit
+
+The non-obvious claim is that Erlang processes and Go goroutines really do
+share machinery beneath their different vocabularies. The mapping:
+
+| Concept | Erlang | Go | Common kit name |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Unit of execution | process (PID-addressed) | goroutine (anonymous) | **task** |
+| Spawn | `spawn(Fun)` → PID | `go expr` → nothing | `task-spawn` |
+| Block target | mailbox match | channel send/recv | `task-block` |
+| Wake condition | message arrives | counterpart ready | `task-resume` predicate |
+| Yield | `receive` with no match | channel blocked | scheduler hands off |
+| Termination | exit reason → linked tasks | panic / return | task lifecycle |
+| Selection | selective `receive` | `select` statement | both = "wait for any of N predicates" |
+
+What the kit owns:
+- The **task table** (token → suspended CEK continuation + status).
+- The **runnable queue** + scheduling policy (round-robin v1; pluggable).
+- The **block→resume protocol**: a blocked task registers a predicate; when
+  any task changes state, blocked tasks are re-polled; first whose predicate
+  fires becomes runnable.
+- The **fairness/preemption budget** — gas per step before forced yield.
+
+What each language owns:
+- The semantics layer on top: Erlang's PID→task map + mailbox per task +
+  selective-receive predicates; Go's channel value → blocked-task list per
+  channel + send/recv pairing + select multiplexing.
+- The language-visible API (`spawn`/`!`/`receive` vs `go`/`<-`/`select`).
+
+This is exactly the lib/guest pattern: extract the dispatch skeleton, keep
+the rules in the language layer.
+
+## API surface (proposed — design only, not yet implemented)
+
+```
+(make-scheduler &key gas-per-step ;; default 1000
+                     policy)      ;; :round-robin | :fifo
+  -> scheduler-handle
+
+(task-spawn sched body-thunk) -> task-token
+  ;; body-thunk is a 0-arg fn whose body runs as the task.
+  ;; Returns immediately; task is enqueued runnable.
+
+(task-current sched) -> task-token
+  ;; Inside a task, the token of the running task. Useful for self-reference.
+
+(task-yield sched) -> nil
+  ;; Voluntary yield. Caller is re-enqueued at the tail of runnable.
+
+(task-block sched resume-predicate) -> any
+  ;; Caller suspends. Predicate is (fn () -> resume-value-or-#f).
+  ;; When predicate returns non-#f, caller resumes with that value.
+  ;; Predicate is polled on every scheduler tick when there's nothing
+  ;; obviously runnable. (Optimisation: language layer can wake explicitly —
+  ;; see task-wake.)
+
+(task-wake sched task) -> nil
+  ;; Hint to the scheduler: re-poll this task's resume-predicate now.
+  ;; Used by sender-side when a receiver might unblock.
+
+(task-status sched task) -> :runnable | :blocked | :finished | :crashed
+
+(task-result sched task) -> value | {:error reason}
+  ;; After :finished or :crashed.
+
+(scheduler-step sched) -> :ran | :idle | :all-done
+  ;; Run at most gas-per-step instructions of one task. Caller drives the
+  ;; loop.
+
+(scheduler-run sched) -> nil
+  ;; Run until :all-done. Equivalent to (until (= :all-done (scheduler-step
+  ;; sched))).
+```
+
+Notes on the design:
+- `task-block` with a resume-predicate is the universal blocking primitive.
+  Erlang's `receive` is `(task-block sched (fn () (mailbox-match self pat)))`.
+  Go's `<-ch` is `(task-block sched (fn () (channel-recv-ready ch)))`.
+- `task-wake` is the optimisation: instead of polling every blocked task
+  every step, the language layer wakes the specific task whose predicate
+  is now likely true. v1 can omit it; performance work later.
+- `gas-per-step` gives fairness without true preemption. Tasks that don't
+  yield within their gas budget are force-yielded by the CEK loop. (CEK
+  io-suspension already does this for IO; gas budget extends to plain
+  instructions.)
+- No priority/affinity in v1. Both Erlang and Go default to non-priority
+  scheduling; specialised cases (Erlang's high-priority processes) are
+  language-layer concerns.
+
+## Build order — phases
+
+This is a long-running plan paced against Go-on-SX. Phases are not loop-style
+"one commit per phase" — they're milestone gates.
+
+### Phase 0 — Erlang shape capture (doc-only) ⬜
+- Read `lib/erlang/runtime.sx` scheduler code (currently coupled to Erlang
+  vocabulary).
+- Write a 1-page summary of what's actually a scheduler and what's actually
+  Erlang. Identify the boundary.
+- **Acceptance:** summary committed to this plan as a new section "Erlang
+  scheduler shape (captured 2026-MM-DD)". No code change.
+- **Output:** clear-eyed mental model. Without this, we'll merge Erlang's
+  scheduler shape into the kit and pretend it generalises.
+
+### Phase 1 — Go scheduler independent implementation ⬜
+- During Go-on-SX, implement `lib/go/sched.sx` from scratch. Do NOT look at
+  Erlang's scheduler while doing this. (Or read it once, then close it.)
+- Pass Go's channel + goroutine + select conformance tests.
+- **Acceptance:** Go scheduler green, lib/go/scoreboard.json includes scheduler
+  tests, two-consumer rule now passable.
+- **Output:** two independent, working implementations of the same idea.
+
+### Phase 2 — Diff and proposed kit ⬜
+- Side-by-side diff: Erlang's scheduler vs Go's scheduler. Where do they
+  agree? Where does each have language-specific bookkeeping?
+- The diff is the kit. Things in *both* go in `lib/guest/scheduler/`; things
+  in only one stay in `lib/erlang/` or `lib/go/`.
+- Draft `lib/guest/scheduler/api.sx` (signatures only, no body) reflecting the
+  proposed surface.
+- **Acceptance:** API draft circulated for review; agreement that the surface
+  covers both consumers; no merge yet.
+
+### Phase 3 — Implement `lib/guest/scheduler/` ⬜
+- Implement the kit per the agreed API. New file(s) in `lib/guest/scheduler/`.
+- The kit has its own tests in `lib/guest/scheduler/tests/` — agnostic of any
+  particular language vocabulary.
+- **Acceptance:** kit tests pass. Erlang and Go conformance scoreboards
+  unchanged (the language implementations still use their own scheduler —
+  we haven't refactored yet).
+
+### Phase 4 — Refactor Erlang to use the kit ⬜
+- `lib/erlang/runtime.sx` scheduler logic deleted; replaced with calls into
+  `lib/guest/scheduler/`. Erlang's PID table, mailbox-per-PID, selective
+  receive stay in `lib/erlang/`.
+- **No-regression gate:** Erlang conformance holds at current pass count
+  (currently 729/729). Hard requirement.
+- **Acceptance:** Erlang scoreboard unchanged; `lib/erlang/runtime.sx`
+  meaningfully smaller (the scheduler code is gone).
+
+### Phase 5 — Refactor Go to use the kit ⬜
+- Same exercise for Go. `lib/go/sched.sx` shrinks to channel/goroutine
+  bookkeeping + delegation.
+- **No-regression gate:** Go conformance scoreboard at its current pass
+  count.
+- **Acceptance:** Go scoreboard unchanged; `lib/go/sched.sx` meaningfully
+  smaller.
+
+### Phase 6 — Documentation + design-diary close ⬜
+- Document `lib/guest/scheduler/` API in `lib/guest/README.md` (or wherever
+  the lib/guest API index lives).
+- Capture the chiselling diary: what *almost* went in the kit but ended up
+  language-specific, and why. This is the load-bearing knowledge for the
+  third consumer when it arrives.
+- **Acceptance:** API documented; diary section added to this plan.
+
+## Two-language rule — gating
+
+**The rule is hard.** No code in `lib/guest/scheduler/` lands until BOTH
+Phase 1 (Go independent) AND Phase 0 (Erlang capture) are complete AND a
+review confirms the two implementations actually share machinery in a way
+the kit captures.
+
+If, during Phase 2 diff, we discover that the agreement is shallow (e.g.,
+both have a runnable queue but the policies are fundamentally incompatible),
+the **right outcome is to NOT extract**. Add a "rejected extraction" note to
+this plan documenting what we learned and close it. That outcome is fine —
+it tells us the two concurrency models aren't actually sister, which is a
+real result.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Preemption.** v1 is cooperative; gas-per-step gives fairness but not
+  hard preemption. Erlang BEAM does true preemption (reduction counting).
+  Go uses async preemption (signal-driven since 1.14). Neither extreme fits
+  cooperatively over CEK. Is gas-per-step + voluntary yield enough? Probably
+  for v1; revisit if a guest needs hard real-time.
+- **Priority/affinity.** Both Erlang and Go can run without it. Defer.
+- **Distribution.** Erlang nodes, Go's distributed channels — both are
+  language-specific layers on top of the local scheduler. Out of scope.
+- **Cancellation.** Go has `context.Context`; Erlang has `exit/2`. Both
+  bottom out at "deliver an exception to a task." Worth modelling? Probably
+  as a kit primitive `(task-cancel sched task reason)` that delivers an
+  exception via CEK exception machinery, language layer wraps it.
+- **Third consumer.** If/when JS-on-SX gets a proper async/await + Promise
+  scheduler, that'd be a great third consumer to validate the kit didn't
+  over-fit to Erlang+Go.
+
+## Progress log
+
+_Newest first. Append one dated entry per milestone landed._
+
+- 2026-05-26 — Plan drafted. Phase 0 unstarted. Awaiting Go-on-SX to begin
+  Phase 1.

+# lib/guest/static-types-bidirectional — design-diary plan
+
+Capture the dispatch skeleton of bidirectional type checking
+(synthesis/checking judgments, context as a value, pluggable subtyping and
+unification) as `lib/guest/static-types-bidirectional/`, so static-typed
+guest languages that aren't Hindley-Milner-inferred cost ~300 lines of
+language-specific rules instead of re-inventing the checker plumbing.
+
+Reference: `plans/lib-guest.md` (parent — two-language rule, stratification),
+`lib/guest/hm.sx` (sister module — full Hindley-Milner for inference-heavy
+languages like Haskell-on-SX), Go-on-SX (planned first consumer), TBD second
+consumer.
+
+**Branch:** `architecture`. SX files via `sx-tree` MCP only.
+
+## Thesis
+
+`lib/guest/hm.sx` covers languages where the user writes few type annotations
+and the checker infers the rest globally (Haskell-on-SX, an eventual ML port,
+a typed-Scheme-with-Damas-Milner). But most modern statically-typed languages
+in actual production — Go, Rust, Swift, TypeScript, Kotlin, Scala 3, Hack —
+do **bidirectional checking instead**: declarations carry annotations, locals
+are inferred from immediate context, return types thread inwards from call
+sites. This isn't a weaker form of HM; it's a different design that scales
+better to mutation, subtyping, ad-hoc polymorphism, and gradual typing —
+none of which HM handles cleanly.
+
+If `lib/guest/` is going to credibly host the next decade of statically-typed
+languages, it needs a bidirectional kit alongside `hm.sx`. They're sisters,
+not rivals.
+
+**This plan is a design diary, not an implementation queue.** The two-language
+rule blocks extraction until two consumers exist. Go-on-SX is the first; the
+second is TBD. Until then, this plan documents what the API surface *should*
+be based on a single consumer, openly acknowledging that the second consumer
+will revise it.
+
+## Current state (2026-05-26)
+
+- `lib/guest/hm.sx` exists, used by Haskell-on-SX. 180 lines. The HM kit is
+  the sister extraction this plan complements.
+- No bidirectional kit anywhere in `lib/guest/`.
+- Go-on-SX does not exist yet. When it does, `lib/go/types.sx` will be the
+  first consumer.
+- Second consumer is unidentified. Most likely candidates, in order:
+  1. **TypeScript-on-SX** — purely structural, gradual typing, the most-
+     popular bidirectional language alive. Natural pair.
+  2. **Rust-on-SX** — bidirectional with substantial extras (lifetimes,
+     traits, borrow checking). Heavyweight; lifetimes don't go in this kit.
+  3. **Typed Racket subset** — if anyone ports it. Bidirectional + gradual.
+  4. **Hack / Flow / Python-with-types** — same shape.
+
+**Status: Phase 0 (literature survey).** No code in this plan yet.
+
+## Why bidirectional, not HM (for the languages that need it)
+
+Five reasons HM doesn't fit these languages:
+
+1. **Subtyping.** HM unification requires equality of types; subtyping
+   requires a different judgment (`t ⊑ u`). Go's `interface{}` accepts any
+   concrete type that satisfies it — subtyping, not unification.
+2. **Mutation.** HM's let-polymorphism interacts pathologically with
+   mutable references (the value restriction). Go, Rust, TS all have
+   first-class mutation and need rules that handle it directly.
+3. **Annotations as ground truth.** Bidirectional treats declared types as
+   *given*, then propagates them. HM treats every type as a variable to be
+   solved. For languages where annotations are expected, bidirectional is
+   the natural shape.
+4. **Generics with constraints.** Go's type parameters carry constraints
+   (`type T comparable`); Rust has trait bounds. HM has typeclasses but
+   they're orthogonal to its constraint solver. Bidirectional weaves
+   constraints into the checking rules naturally.
+5. **Gradual typing.** TS's `any`, Hack's pessimistic mode, Python's
+   `Any` — gradual checking is built on bidirectional's "check or skip"
+   distinction. HM either checks or it doesn't.
+
+These languages collectively are the majority of new statically-typed code.
+Hosting them on lib/guest at all requires the bidirectional shape.
+

+```
+
+Design notes:
+- **The kit dispatches on AST tags**, which is what makes it pluggable. Each
+  language registers rules for its node types. There's no hardcoded set of
+  expression shapes in the kit.
+- **Synth and check are mutually recursive.** Inside a synth-rule for `call`,
+  the rule synthesises the function's type, then `check`s each argument
+  against the corresponding parameter type. Inside a check-rule for `lambda`,
+  the rule pulls argument types from the expected function type and
+  `synth`s the body. This pingponging is the bidirectional core.
+- **Pluggable type-equiv + subtype + unify** is the three-knob shape. Pierce
+  & Turner ("Local Type Inference") and Dunfield & Krishnaswami ("Sound and
+  Complete Bidirectional Typechecking") both factor it this way.
+- **No type variables in the core API.** Generics handling is a kit
+  *extension*: when a language registers a `unify` predicate, the kit
+  threads a substitution through synth/check. Languages without generics
+  (early Go) leave it null.
+- **Errors carry a path.** `{:error msg path}` where path is a list of AST
+  tags leading to the failure. Good error messages are why bidirectional is
+  practical; the kit must support them.
+
+## What's NOT in the kit (language-layer concerns)
+
+Per the chiselling discipline, the kit is the dispatch skeleton; rules stay
+in the language. Specifically:
+
+- **The literal type table.** Go's `42` is `untyped int` until contextualised;
+  TS's `42` is the literal type `42`. Each language ships its own.
+- **Specific subtyping rules.** Go's interface satisfaction is recursive
+  structural matching against method sets. TS's depends on object property
+  satisfaction. Each language ships its own predicate.
+- **Generics constraint solving.** Go's type-set-based constraints, Rust's
+  trait bounds, TS's conditional types — each is non-trivial and language-
+  specific. The kit threads a substitution; the language defines what's in
+  it.
+- **Effects, lifetimes, ownership.** Rust's borrow checker is not a type
+  checker in the bidirectional-kit sense — it's a separate dataflow pass.
+  Out of scope.
+- **Gradual fallback.** TS's `any` lets unchecked code coexist with checked
+  code. The kit supports this via "check returns :ok on a sentinel any-type"
+  but the sentinel is registered by the language.
+
+## Build order — phases
+
+### Phase 0 — Literature survey + Go's type system specifics ⬜
+- Read: Pierce & Turner "Local Type Inference" (2000); Dunfield & Krishnaswami
+  "Sound and Complete Bidirectional Typechecking for Higher-Rank Polymorphism"
+  (2013, 2019 revision); the Go language spec § "Types" + "Expressions".
+- Survey how Rust / TS / Kotlin / Scala 3 implement bidirectional in practice
+  (their compilers are open source). Note where they diverge.
+- Output: a short summary section "Bidirectional design space (captured
+  2026-MM-DD)" appended to this plan. Specifically: list every place
+  language implementations diverge, so we can predict which divergences will
+  show up between Go and the second consumer.
+- **Acceptance:** survey committed to this plan. No code.
+
+### Phase 1 — Go independent implementation ⬜
+- During Go-on-SX, implement `lib/go/types.sx` from scratch. Do not write
+  with extraction in mind — write the simplest Go-specific bidirectional
+  checker.
+- Hit Go's distinctive type-system features: untyped constants, interface
+  satisfaction (structural), generics (Go 1.18 type parameters with type-set
+  constraints — defer this if scope explodes).
+- Pass Go's type-checker conformance tests.
+- **Acceptance:** Go conformance scoreboard includes type-checker tests, all
+  passing.
+- **Output:** one consumer. Two-language rule still not met; no extraction.
+
+### Phase 2 — Pick + start the second consumer ⬜
+- Decide between TS, Rust-subset, or typed-Scheme-subset. Recommendation:
+  **TypeScript** — most-different from Go (gradual, structural everywhere),
+  testing the kit's range maximally. Rust's lifetime/borrow machinery isn't
+  part of this kit, so a Rust port wouldn't actually exercise the kit very
+  hard.
+- Implement just enough of the second language to type-check a non-trivial
+  function. Don't port the whole language; port the type checker.
+- **Acceptance:** second consumer's type checker green on its small slice.
+
+### Phase 3 — Diff and proposed kit ⬜
+- Side-by-side: Go's checker vs the second consumer's checker. Where do they
+  agree (the kit). Where does each diverge (the language).
+- Draft `lib/guest/static-types-bidirectional/api.sx` (signatures only).
+- Compare against the API sketch in this plan. The API WILL change at this
+  step; that's the whole point of having two consumers.
+- **Acceptance:** revised API committed to this plan; agreement that both
+  consumers can adopt it.
+
+### Phase 4 — Implement the kit ⬜
+- `lib/guest/static-types-bidirectional/` with the agreed API. Kit tests in
+  `lib/guest/static-types-bidirectional/tests/` — using a minimal "toy"
+  language (synth-rule for `:int`, check-rule for `:lambda`) to verify the
+  dispatch skeleton works.
+- **Acceptance:** kit tests pass; both consumers' scoreboards still green
+  with their own implementations.
+
+### Phase 5 — Refactor both consumers to use the kit ⬜
+- Go: `lib/go/types.sx` becomes a thin layer over the kit — registers Go's
+  synth/check/equiv rules, calls `check-program`. Lifecycle code shrinks.
+- Second consumer: same exercise.
+- **No-regression gate:** both consumers' conformance scoreboards unchanged.
+- **Acceptance:** both `lib/<lang>/types.sx` files meaningfully smaller; kit
+  is doing real work.
+
+### Phase 6 — Documentation + chiselling diary ⬜
+- Document the API in lib/guest's README index.
+- Diary section in this plan: what we considered putting in the kit but
+  ended up keeping language-specific, and why.
+- **Acceptance:** documentation present; diary captured.
+
+## Two-language rule — gating
+
+Same as `lib-guest-scheduler.md`. The kit does not exist until both consumers
+independently work AND we've reviewed the diff AND we believe the shared
+skeleton is real. Rejected-extraction is a valid outcome.
+
+## Relationship to `lib/guest/hm.sx`
+
+Sister modules, not rivals. Some languages will use HM (full inference,
+let-polymorphism); some will use bidirectional (annotation-driven, subtyping-
+friendly). Some might use both — Scala-on-SX, hypothetically, has local-type-
+inference in expressions and global-HM-style constraint solving in implicit
+resolution. The kit boundaries are:
+
+- `hm.sx` — unification-based, whole-expression inference. Damas-Milner core.
+  Best for: ML family, Haskell, OCaml subset, Standard ML.
+- `static-types-bidirectional/` — synth/check judgments, pluggable equiv +
+  subtype. Best for: Go, Rust, TS, Kotlin, Swift, Scala 3, Hack.
+
+A language can call into both: bidirectional for the surface, HM-style
+unification inside generics resolution. That's actually how Scala 3 works.
+The kits compose; design accordingly.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Variance.** Go has none; TS has covariant/contravariant/bivariant; Rust
+  has variance markers per type parameter. Does the kit need a variance
+  predicate as a fourth pluggable knob? Probably yes, but defer until the
+  second consumer forces the question.
+- **Effect tracking.** Some bidirectional checkers (Koka, Eff, certain
+  capability-effect TS variants) track effects in types. Out of scope for
+  v1; the kit must not actively prevent it though.
+- **Refinement types.** TS has narrowing (`typeof x === "string"` refines
+  `x` to `string`); Hack and Flow are similar. These layer above the kit
+  (the kit's `check` returns a refined context as part of `:ok`). Sketch
+  this in Phase 3 if TS is the second consumer.
+- **Error recovery.** Real-world type checkers don't halt on first error;
+  they recover and continue to surface as many errors as possible. The kit
+  needs an error-accumulation mode. Design it in Phase 4.
+- **Performance.** For toy languages, naive synth/check is fine. For Go-
+  sized programs, the checker has to be memoised on synthesised types of
+  subexpressions. Not a v1 concern; flag if it bites.
+
+## Progress log
+
+_Newest first. Append one dated entry per milestone landed._
+
+- 2026-05-26 — Plan drafted as design diary. Phase 0 unstarted. Gated on
+  Go-on-SX (first consumer) and a TBD second consumer (recommendation:
+  TypeScript). No code yet — kit cannot exist before two consumers do.
