plans: correct extraction note — declined after reading both impls

Reading lib/mod (Prolog) and lib/acl (Datalog) side by side shows the convergence
is in module names only. Federation: opposite trust models (SX registry + decision
sharing vs in-engine Datalog trust facts + fact replication), zero shared code.
Audit: only a ~5-fn core overlaps and it diverges (entry shapes, seq base 0 vs 1,
op sets, mutation idiom) — not worth a shared module under two restricted envs.
Outcome: keep them parallel; revisit only on a third same-model consumer.

+;; v0 concurrency model — IMPORTANT
+;;
+;; SX has no first-class continuations exposed to guest code, so we
+;; can't suspend a goroutine mid-statement. v0 runs `go f()` SYNCHRO-
+;; NOUSLY (it's an immediate call whose return value is dropped). This
+;; preserves the right semantics for patterns where the spawned
+;; goroutine simply pushes to a channel that the main goroutine then
+;; receives — because the spawned goroutine runs to completion first
+;; and leaves the value in the channel buffer.
+;;
+;; True preemption with blocking sends/recvs is a Phase 5b refinement.
+;; The sister-plan diary tracks the design insight (single
+;; sched-spawn primitive, channel-op direction tag) so the eventual
+;; kit doesn't bake in v0's synchronous limitation.

+;; lib/go/types.sx — Go bidirectional type checker.
+;;
+;; Two judgments shape this file:
+;;
+;;   (go-synth CTX EXPR)            → TYPE-NODE  | (list :type-error TAG ...)
+;;     Given a context and an expression, produce a type.
+;;
+;;   (go-check CTX EXPR EXPECTED)   → :ok        | (list :type-error TAG ...)
+;;     Given a context, expression, and expected type, verify compatibility.
+;;
+;; The two judgments are mutually recursive. Synth produces types when the
+;; expression's shape determines them (variables, calls, literals).
+;; Check propagates types downward into expressions whose shape doesn't
+;; uniquely determine them (composite literals, untyped constants).
+;;
+;; Type representations reuse the parser's :ty-* AST nodes from
+;; lib/go/parse.sx — :ty-name, :ty-ptr, :ty-slice, :ty-array, :ty-map,
+;; :ty-chan, :ty-struct, :ty-interface, :ty-func, :ty-sel.
+;;
+;; Context: an association list of (NAME TYPE) bindings. Per-block scope
+;; via a fresh extension on entry.

+;; **Independent implementation.** lib/guest/static-types-bidirectional/

+# acl-on-sx: Access Control on Datalog
+
+rose-ash needs fine-grained, explainable, federation-aware access control. Subjects
+(users, groups, roles, services) × actions (read, edit, comment, moderate, federate)
+× resources (pages, posts, threads, peers). Decisions must come with a trace — not just
+permit/deny, but **why**.
+
+Datalog's bottom-up rule engine produces transparent permit/deny chains: the proof tree
+is the audit trail. Inheritance over groups + resource hierarchies is recursive Datalog
+in one rule. Federation extends naturally — fed-sx replicates ACL facts, peers reason
+over the union.
+
+End-state: a Datalog-on-SX layer specifically for ACL, with explanation API, audit log,
+and federation extension. Reuses `lib/datalog/` evaluator and term model where possible.
+
+## Status (rolling)
+
+`bash lib/acl/conformance.sh` → **0/0** (not yet started)
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/acl/**` and `plans/acl-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`,
+  `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/datalog/**`, or other `lib/<lang>/`. You may **import**
+  from `lib/datalog/` (its public API in `lib/datalog/datalog.sx`); do **not** copy or
+  modify Datalog code.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** thin layer on top of `lib/datalog/`. Define schema, surface API,
+  audit + federation hooks. The rule engine itself is Datalog's.
+- **Watch for shared patterns** going into `lib/guest/` — both acl-sx and mod-sx need
+  rule-engine plumbing. If you find shared shape, flag it for extraction (don't
+  extract yet — wait for mod-sx to start).
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep Progress log updated and tick boxes.
+

+```
+
+## Phase 1 — Direct grants
+
+- [ ] `lib/acl/schema.sx` — sorts: subject {user, group, role, service}, action,
+  resource {page, post, thread, peer}
+- [ ] `lib/acl/facts.sx` — `actor`, `resource`, `grant`, `deny` predicates as Datalog
+  EDB
+- [ ] `lib/acl/engine.sx` — `(permit? subj act res db)` reduces to Datalog query
+- [ ] `lib/acl/api.sx` — public `(acl/permit? ...)` taking implicit current db
+- [ ] `lib/acl/tests/direct.sx` — 15+ cases: direct grant, missing grant, explicit deny
+- [ ] `lib/acl/scoreboard.{json,md}` baseline
+- [ ] `lib/acl/conformance.sh` runs the suite
+
+## Phase 2 — Inheritance
+
+- [ ] `member_of(actor, group)` chain — group grants apply to members (transitive)
+- [ ] `child_of(res, parent)` chain — parent grants apply to children (transitive)
+- [ ] role expansion — role contains list of (action, resource) tuples
+- [ ] deny-overrides — explicit deny wins over inherited allow
+- [ ] `lib/acl/tests/inherit.sx` — 25+ cases: nested groups, deep resource trees,
+  conflict resolution, deny precedence
+- [ ] document the deny-overrides choice in plan
+
+## Phase 3 — Explanation + audit
+
+- [ ] `(acl/explain subj act res)` → `{:allowed? T :proof <tree>}`
+- [ ] proof tree extracts from Datalog's derivation
+- [ ] `lib/acl/audit.sx` — append-only decision log (in-memory + serializer for disk)
+- [ ] `(acl/audit-tail n)` for recent decisions
+- [ ] `lib/acl/tests/explain.sx` — proof correctness, audit completeness
+
+## Phase 4 — Federation
+
+- [ ] peer trust facts — `peer(addr, kind)`, `trust(peer, level)`
+- [ ] delegated grants — `delegate(peer, actor, action, resource)`
+- [ ] cross-instance permit chain — query asks local + queries trusted peers via fed-sx
+- [ ] revocation propagation — fact retraction across federation
+- [ ] `lib/acl/tests/fed.sx` — federated grant chains (mock fed-sx transport in tests)

+
+## ACL-specific gotchas
+
+- **Datalog is bottom-up.** No goal-directed search. Don't reach for cut or
+  backtracking — that's mod-sx's job. Your decisions emerge from fixpoint.
+- **Deny-overrides** is the policy: if both an allow and deny rule fire, deny wins.
+  Encode this via stratified negation; document the choice clearly in plan.
+- **Inheritance termination:** recursive rules with `member_of` chains must
+  terminate. Datalog guarantees this absent function symbols — don't introduce them
+  in your schema.
+- **Proof tree shape:** Datalog's derivation graph is a DAG, not a tree, when the
+  same fact is derived multiple ways. For audit, pick one canonical derivation
+  (shortest, or first); document choice.
+- **Federation isn't transitive trust.** A peer's `delegate(...)` fact only applies
+  if local `trust(peer, level)` covers the action class. Re-check trust on every
+  query, not at fact-ingestion time.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr — wrap multiples in `begin`.
+- `env-bind!` creates a binding; `env-set!` mutates an existing one (walks scope chain).
+- `sx_validate` after every structural edit.
+- `list?` returns false on raw JS Arrays — host data must be SX-converted.

+
+## feed-specific gotchas
+
+- **Activities are heterogeneous.** Different verbs carry different shapes
+  (`:object` might be page-id, post-id, user-id). Don't over-normalize — keep
+  `:tags` as a flexible bag. APL operations over heterogeneous records work fine
+  via dict lookups; only the indexed fields need uniform shape.
+- **Fanout produces matrices fast.** N activities × M followers → NM items. Apply
+  filter/dedupe early, not after materialization. Use guard predicates *inside*
+  the outer product where possible (compose with `∘.{a v ⊢ ...}`).
+- **Dedupe key isn't always `(actor,verb,object)`.** For "alice liked X" and "bob
+  liked X" the dedupe key is `(verb,object)` (collapse the actors into a list).
+  For "alice posted X" each `:actor` is distinct. Each verb may want its own
+  dedupe rule; codify these in `lib/feed/dedupe.sx`.
+- **Recency decay matters more than score precision.** Use a simple half-life decay
+  (e.g. score × 0.5^(age/window)) rather than a clever curve. Calibrate the
+  window via tests, not theory.
+- **Ranking should be deterministic on ties.** Always include a tiebreaker (id, or
+  hash). Otherwise tests will flake.
+- **The ACL filter is per-viewer.** A timeline is computed *for* a user; the same
+  candidate stream produces different timelines for different viewers. Don't

+  survive serialization. State referenced by the continuation must be plain SX data
+  or live in the flow store.
+- **call/cc, not call-with-escape-continuation.** R7RS distinguishes. Use the full
+  call/cc for resume; escape-only continuations cannot be re-entered. Read
+  `lib/scheme/r7rs.md` (or equivalent) to confirm semantics.
+- **`parallel` in Phase 1 is sequential.** Don't try threading until Phase 3+. Just
+  evaluate branches in order, collect results, return joined value. Document the
+  semantics clearly so users don't assume true concurrency.
+- **Retry doesn't retry continuations.** If a node has already suspended, retry on
+  resume doesn't re-run it from scratch — it resumes. `retry` only applies to
+  exceptions raised before suspend. Be explicit in the API.
+- **Cancellation invalidates the continuation.** `(flow/cancel id)` must remove the
+  stored continuation so a stale `resume` cannot wake it. Document semantics.
+- **Timeouts in pure SX are tricky.** Without a scheduler, `timeout` is a budget on
+  step count or wall-clock probed at safe points. Pick one approach (probably step
+  budget for determinism) and document.

+- `[consumes-X]` — used `lib/guest/X` kit (e.g., `[consumes-lex]`,
+  `[consumes-pratt]`, `[consumes-ast]`, `[consumes-match]`).
+- `[shapes-scheduler]` — revealed something about what
+  `plans/lib-guest-scheduler.md` should propose. Append a paragraph to that
+  plan's design diary describing the insight.
+- `[shapes-static-types-bidirectional]` — same for
+  `plans/lib-guest-static-types-bidirectional.md`.
+- `[proposes-Y]` — revealed a gap in another existing kit (e.g., `pratt.sx`
+  doesn't handle Go's operator precedence properly). Blockers entry in the
+  kit's plan describing the gap with minimal repro.
+- `[nothing]` — pure Go work that didn't touch substrate or lib/guest story.
+  Rare; if you write `[nothing]` twice in a row, stop and reflect on whether
+  the iteration could have been shaped to surface something.
+
+**Sister plans must be updated.** When Phase 3 lands (independent checker
+working), append a paragraph to
+`plans/lib-guest-static-types-bidirectional.md` describing what synth/check
+shape emerged in Go. When Phase 5 lands (scheduler working), same for
+`plans/lib-guest-scheduler.md`. This is how the two-consumer rule actually
+pays off.
+
+## Ground rules (hard)
+
+- **Scope:** only `lib/go/**` and `plans/go-on-sx.md`. Single permitted
+  cross-plan write: append-only paragraphs to the sister-plan design
+  diaries (`plans/lib-guest-scheduler.md`,
+  `plans/lib-guest-static-types-bidirectional.md`) on `shapes-*` commits.
+  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 independent implementation. 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.
+  Never `Edit`/`Read`/`Write` on `.sx`.
+- **Worktree:** branch `loops/go`, push `origin/loops/go`. Never `main`,
+  never `architecture`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit. Short factual messages
+  with chisel note: `go: lex.sx — keywords + ASI + 50 tests [consumes-lex]`.
+- **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; 5-8 are largely independent once
+  4 lands.
+
+## Conformance scoreboard
+
+Create `lib/go/scoreboard.json` on first iteration. Suites: lex / parse /
+types / eval / runtime / stdlib / e2e. Update counts every commit. The
+scoreboard is also the no-regression gate: a commit that drops any suite's
+pass count is wrong, not the test.
+
+## Go-specific gotchas (read once, never get bitten)
+
+- **ASI (automatic semicolon insertion).** Newline becomes `;` after
+  identifier/literal/`)`/`]`/`}`. Build it into the tokenizer (Phase 1),
+  not the parser. Go spec § Semicolons is unusually precise.
+- **Untyped constants.** `42` is `untyped int` until contextualised.
+  Canonical pitfall: `var x float64 = 42 / 7` must compute `42 / 7 = 6`
+  as untyped, then convert to `6.0`. Not `42.0 / 7 = 6.0`. Not `(42/7).0
+  = 6.0`. Test this in Phase 3.
+- **Methods vs functions.** Different lookup rules. Pointer-receiver
+  methods are NOT in the value's method set for interface satisfaction.
+- **Interface satisfaction is structural and silent.** No `implements`
+  declaration. Lazy check at every interface-typed slot.
+- **Channels have identity.** Distinct `make(chan int)` calls produce
+  distinct channels with same type.
+- **`select` with `default`** = non-blocking. Without `default` = blocks.
+- **`nil` is typed.** `var i interface{} = (*int)(nil); i == nil` is
+  `false` — i holds typed-nil-of-`*int`, not untyped nil. Footgun. Test.
+- **Goroutine panic propagation.** Unrecovered panic crashes whole
+  program. Honour faithfully or document divergence.
+- **`defer` in a loop.** Each iteration pushes; all run on function
+  return, not loop iteration. Common bug; tests must cover.
+- **Map iteration order is unspecified.** v1 = sorted SX-canonical key
+  order for determinism. Document the divergence; provide a
+  `runtime`-package knob to randomise later.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr — wrap multiples
+  in `begin`.
+- `env-bind!` creates a binding; `env-set!` mutates an existing one (walks
+  scope chain).
+- `sx_validate` after every structural edit.
+- `list?` returns false on raw JS Arrays — host data must be SX-converted.
+- Shell heredoc `||` gets eaten — escape or use `case`.
+
+## Style
+
+- No comments in `.sx` unless non-obvious. Cite Go spec sections inline
+  when a decision is non-obvious (the Go spec is rigorous — citations work).
+- No new planning docs — update `plans/go-on-sx.md` inline. Append paragraphs
+  to sister-plan design diaries on `shapes-*` commits.
+- Short factual commit messages with chisel note in brackets:
+  `go: parse short-decl + 6 tests [consumes-pratt]`.
+- One feature per iteration. Commit. Log. Push. Next.
+
+Go. Run the pre-flight check. If lib/guest kits are missing, stop. Otherwise
+read the plan, find the first unchecked `[ ]`, implement it. Remember:
+every commit ends with a chisel note, and the sister-plan design diaries
+get updates on `shapes-*` commits.
+
+## Loop continuation
+
+This briefing supersedes any "then stop" wording from the user's original
+`/loop` input. After pushing, **call `ScheduleWakeup` to fire the next
+iteration**, then end the turn. The `/loop` command is in dynamic mode;
+each iteration self-schedules the next.
+
+- `delaySeconds`: **60** (minimum). This is a coding loop with no external
+  event to wait on — back-to-back iterations are intended. Raise only if a
+  prior fire reported a substrate blocker that needs settling.
+- `prompt`: the **full original `/loop` input verbatim, prefixed with
+  `/loop `** (so the wake re-enters this skill and re-reads this briefing).
+  Do NOT paraphrase or trim it — the runtime expects an exact echo.
+- `reason`: one short sentence, e.g. "next Go-on-SX iteration".
+
+**Stop conditions** — omit `ScheduleWakeup` ONLY when:
+1. lib/guest pre-flight failed (missing kits) and a Blockers entry was
+   added — the loop is parked waiting for substrate work.
+2. The same Blockers entry has been the reason for two consecutive
+   iterations (avoid runaway no-op fires).
+3. plans/go-on-sx.md has every Phase 1-11 box checked.
+4. The user explicitly asks to stop, pause, or interrupt the loop.
+
+Otherwise: reschedule. Always.

+# kernel-on-sx loop agent (single agent, queue-driven)
+
+Role: iterates `plans/kernel-on-sx.md` forever. **First chisel of the Phase B stratification work** — natural successor to env-as-value, validates SX's reflection story (first-class environments, evaluators, operatives). Goal isn't just "implement Kernel"; it's *also* to surface common patterns into `lib/guest/` (specifically motivating a future `lib/guest/reflective/` sub-layer). One feature per commit.
+
+```
+description: kernel-on-sx queue loop
+subagent_type: general-purpose
+run_in_background: true
+isolation: worktree
+```
+
+## DO NOT START WITHOUT THE PREREQUISITES
+
+This loop **must not** start until the lib-guest core kits are in place. Kernel's parser consumes `lib/guest/core/lex.sx` and `lib/guest/core/pratt.sx` (s-expression-shaped, minimal demand); its evaluator's pattern dispatch consumes `lib/guest/core/match.sx`.
+
+**Pre-flight check:**
+```
+ls /root/rose-ash/lib/guest/lex.sx /root/rose-ash/lib/guest/pratt.sx \
+   /root/rose-ash/lib/guest/match.sx /root/rose-ash/lib/guest/ast.sx
+```
+If any of those `lib/guest/*.sx` files are missing, **stop and report**. Do not start.
+
+## Prompt
+
+You are the sole background agent working `/root/rose-ash/plans/kernel-on-sx.md`. You run in an isolated git worktree on branch `loops/kernel`. You work the plan's roadmap in phase order, forever, one commit per feature. Push to `origin/loops/kernel` after every commit.
+
+## Restart baseline — check before iterating
+
+1. Read `plans/kernel-on-sx.md` — Roadmap + Progress log + Blockers tell you where you are.
+2. Run the pre-flight check above. If any lib/guest kit is missing, stop immediately and update the plan's Blockers section.
+3. `ls lib/kernel/` — pick up from the most advanced file that exists. If the directory does not exist, you are at Phase 1.
+4. If `lib/kernel/tests/*.sx` exist, run them via the epoch protocol against `sx_server.exe`. They must be green before new work.
+
+## The queue
+
+Phase order per `plans/kernel-on-sx.md`:
+
+- **Phase 1** — Parser (s-expression reader, minimal — consumes `lib/guest/lex` + `lib/guest/pratt`)
+- **Phase 2** — Core evaluator with first-class environments
+- **Phase 3** — `$vau` / `$lambda` / `wrap` / `unwrap` (the operative–applicative distinction)
+- **Phase 4** — Standard environment construction
+- **Phase 5** — Encapsulations (Kernel's opaque-type idiom)
+- **Phase 6** — Hygienic operatives (Shutt's later work — operatives that don't capture)
+- **Phase 7** — Propose `lib/guest/reflective/` (extraction phase — see chiselling discipline)
+
+Within a phase, pick the checkbox with the best tests-per-effort ratio.
+
+Every iteration: implement → test → commit → tick `[ ]` in plan → append Progress log → push → next.
+
+## Lib/guest chiselling discipline (the defining feature of this loop)
+
+You are not just implementing Kernel — you are *chiselling* the substrate to surface what `lib/guest/reflective/` should contain. Every commit must end with a one-line **"chisel note"** appended to the plan's Progress log entry, in this format:
+
+```
+chisel: <one of: consumes-X | shapes-reflective | proposes-Y | nothing>
+```
+
+- `consumes-X` — this commit used an existing `lib/guest/X` kit (e.g., `consumes-pratt`, `consumes-match`).
+- `shapes-reflective` — this commit revealed something about what `lib/guest/reflective/` should look like (e.g., env-reification helper signatures, applicative-vs-operative dispatch protocol). Add a paragraph to the plan's "lib/guest feedback loop" section describing the insight.
+- `proposes-Y` — this commit revealed a gap in another existing kit (e.g., `match.sx` doesn't quite handle X). Open a Blockers entry describing the gap.
+- `nothing` — pure Kernel work that didn't touch the substrate or lib/guest story (rare; if you write this twice in a row, stop and reflect on why).
+
+**Phase 7 (extraction)** is **gated** by the two-consumer rule. Kernel alone is one consumer. The natural second consumer is a future MetaScheme port, a Common-Lisp meta-evaluator port, or a Kernel dialect (cKanren-style). **Until a second consumer exists, do NOT actually extract** — instead, mark Phase 7 `[partial — pending second consumer]` and document the proposed `lib/guest/reflective/` API surface in the plan's progress log. The extraction itself happens later, when a second consumer materialises.
+
+This discipline is the point of the loop, not a bookkeeping tax. The chisel notes are what tell us — at the end of Kernel's run — whether a `lib/guest/reflective/` sub-layer is real or just one-language-shaped.
+
+## Ground rules (hard)
+
+- **Scope:** only `lib/kernel/**` and `plans/kernel-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/guest/**` (read-only consumer at this phase), or other `lib/<lang>/`.
+- **Consume `lib/guest/core/`** wherever it covers a need. Hand-rolling defeats the chiselling goal.
+- **Do not extract into `lib/guest/reflective/` from this loop.** That's Phase 7 territory, gated by the two-consumer rule. Until there's a second consumer, document the API surface only.
+- **Substrate gaps** (env-as-value not exposing X, `eval` semantics drift, JIT not handling reflective patterns) → Blockers entry with minimal repro. Do **not** fix substrate from this loop. Substrate work belongs to `sx-improvements.md` / `jit-perf-regression.md`.
+- **NEVER call `sx_build`.** 600s watchdog will kill you. If `sx_server.exe` is broken, add a Blockers entry and stop.
+- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after every edit. Never `Edit`/`Read`/`Write` on `.sx`.
+- **Worktree:** commit, then push to `origin/loops/kernel`. Never touch `main`. Never push to `architecture`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit. Short factual messages: `kernel: $vau operative + 6 tests`.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit. Include the chisel note.
+- **If blocked** for two iterations on the same issue, add to Blockers and move on.
+
+## Kernel-specific gotchas
+
+- **Operatives don't evaluate their arguments.** `$vau` builds an operative; the body sees the *unevaluated* argument expressions plus the dynamic environment. This is the opposite of every other guest in the set. `(define-via-vau)` builds a binding by calling `eval` inside the body on the (still-syntax) argument.
+- **Applicatives wrap operatives.** `(wrap op)` produces an applicative that evaluates its args first, then calls `op` with the values. `$lambda` is sugar for `wrap` ∘ `$vau`.
+- **Dynamic vs static environments.** Operative body sees both: the static env where the `$vau` was created (closure-style), AND the dynamic env where the call happens (passed as the env-param). Different from lexical-only languages.
+- **No special forms in the evaluator.** `$if`, `$define!`, `$lambda` are all just operatives bound in the standard environment. The evaluator is `lookup-and-call` — no hardcoded switch on symbols. This is the whole point: the language is reified as data.
+- **`eval` is a primitive callable on user environments.** This is where SX's env-as-value matters most. If env-as-value isn't fully landed in the substrate, this is where it'll break.
+- **Encapsulations (Phase 5) are Kernel's opaque-types idiom.** `make-encapsulation-type` returns three operatives: encapsulator (constructs), predicate (tests), decapsulator (extracts). Used to define promises, streams, modules.
+- **Hygienic operatives (Phase 6) are research-grade.** Shutt's later work. Operatives that don't accidentally capture caller bindings. Likely uses scope sets / frame stamps. Treat as exploration, not implementation-deadline.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr — wrap multiples in `begin`.
+- `env-bind!` creates a binding; `env-set!` mutates an existing one (walks scope chain).
+- `sx_validate` after every structural edit.

+- One feature per iteration. Commit. Log. Push. Next.

+- **Phase 3** — escalation + lifecycle state machine
+  (`:open → :triaged → :decided → :appealed → :final`), auto/human tiers, appeal.

+
+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/mod/**` and `plans/mod-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`,
+  `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root.
+  May **import** from `lib/prolog/` only (its public API). Do **not** modify Prolog.
+- **NEVER call `sx_build`.** 600s watchdog. If the sx_server binary is broken →
+  Blockers entry, stop. Run tests by invoking the sx_server binary directly from a
+  conformance.sh (see how `lib/prolog/conformance.sh` drives it), pointing
+  `SX_SERVER` at `/root/rose-ash/hosts/ocaml/_build/default/bin/sx_server.exe`
+  (fresh worktrees have no `_build/`).
+- **Shared-file issues** → plan's Blockers with minimal repro; don't fix here.
+- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. **They take `file:` not `path:`** — a
+  wrong key yields `Yojson Type_error("Expected string, got null")`, which looks
+  like a broken binary but is just a param mismatch. `sx_validate` after edits.
+  Path-based edits (`sx_replace_node`) count comment headers in their indices and
+  can clobber the wrong node — re-read after, or prefer `sx_write_file` for small
+  files. **Default to `sx_write_file` (rewrite the whole file) over path/pattern
+  edits** — these are small files and the rewrite always parses-before-writing.
+  `sx_insert_near` inserts only the FIRST top-level form of a multi-form source
+  (it silently drops the rest; byte count barely moves) — never use it to add a
+  block of forms; rewrite the file instead. `sx_replace_by_pattern` is fiddly to
+  match — don't fight it, just rewrite.
+- **Unicode in `.sx`:** raw UTF-8 only, never `\uXXXX` escapes.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit. Short factual messages
+  (`mod: spam-keyword policy rule → :hide + 6 tests`). Push to `origin/loops/mod`.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log (newest first) + tick boxes every commit.
+
+## mod-specific gotchas
+
+- **Decisions are proofs, not booleans.** A decision should carry *why* — the
+  matching rule / derivation — so Phase 2's audit trail can persist it. Design the
+  Phase-1 `decide` return shape with that in mind (don't return a bare keyword you
+  later have to retrofit).
+- **Policy chains backtrack.** Order matters: first matching rule wins. Make rule
+  precedence explicit and deterministic (tests will depend on it). A "no rule
+  matched" outcome must be a real, testable result (`:keep`), not a query failure
+  you forget to handle.
+- **You may lean on backtracking and cut.** The substrate is full Prolog —
+  `pl-query-all` gives every proven clause (use it for "strictest-wins" or
+  multi-match analysis), `pl-query-one` gives the first (clause order = precedence).
+  Cut (`!`) and the other control constructs are available if you need to prune
+  alternatives inside a body, but for rule precedence prefer plain clause ordering
+  resolved by `pl-query-one` — it's the clean, testable default. Don't hand-roll
+  precedence in SX when the engine's backtracking already gives it to you.
+- **Negative decisions need closed-world care.** "No evidence of violation" vs
+  "evidence absent" differ. Be explicit about negation-as-failure where you use it.
+  In this substrate, negation is the **functor** `not(Goal)` / `\+(Goal)` — the
+  prefix `\+ Goal` operator does **not** parse. Unknown predicates *fail* (no
+  existence error), so a report lacking some fact safely falls through a rule that
+  references it. Quote user-data atoms (`'foo-bar'`) — a bare hyphen is the minus
+  operator and will misparse.
+- **Loaded-env strips the high-level string prims.** After the prolog preloads are
+  loaded, the eval env loses `includes?`, `chars`, `str-join`, `keyword` and
+  friends — they are **undefined** (a function calling one fails only when called,
+  often mid-test-load, looking like a mystery crash). Only the set the Prolog
+  tokenizer itself uses survives: `slice`, `len`, `nth`, `=`, `join` (sep first:
+  `(join sep list)`), `downcase`, `map`, `reduce`, `append`/`append!`, `when`,
+  `cond`, `if`, `let`, `begin`, `get`, `dict-get`, `keys`, `empty?`, `first`,
+  `reverse`, `+`, `-`, `<`, `<=`. Build substring search yourself over `slice`/
+  `len` (see `mod/str-contains?`). Treat `not`, `and`, `or`, `>` as suspect in
+  guest code unless you've confirmed them — nest `if`/`when` and use `(< a b)`.
+- **Lifecycle state is separate from policy.** Keep the state machine (Phase 3) as
+  an SX module over the engine, not tangled into Prolog rules.
+- **Federation trust is advisory by default.** A peer's decision only binds locally
+  when `(trust peer :mod)` holds; otherwise it's a suggestion. Don't auto-apply.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr — wrap multiples in `begin`.
+- `let` is parallel, not sequential — nest `let`s when a binding references an earlier one.
+- `env-bind!` creates a binding; `env-set!` mutates an existing one (walks scope chain).
+- `sx_validate` after every structural edit.
+- Namespace-prefix all guest helpers (`mod/...`) — short/host-colliding names
+  (`bind`, `conj`, `name`) get silently shadowed or hang the runtime.

+# feed-on-sx: Activity Feeds on APL
+
+Timelines, notifications, activity aggregation. The math is array math: filter, sort,
+reduce, scan, outer product. APL is the densest possible expression of feed
+composition — a fanout-and-rank pipeline reads as a single line.
+
+rose-ash needs: per-user home timeline, notification feed, activity stream digestion,
+backfill for new follows, deduplication across cross-posts. Every operation is an
+array-shaped transformation.
+
+End-state: an APL-flavored layer on `lib/apl/` with feed-specific combinators
+(`fanout`, `dedupe`, `score`, `rank`), an SX adapter for callers who don't want raw
+APL, ACL visibility filtering via `lib/acl/`, federation via fed-sx.
+
+## Status (rolling)
+
+`bash lib/feed/conformance.sh` → **0/0** (not yet started)

+  **import** from `lib/apl/` (public API in `lib/apl/apl.sx`); do **not** modify APL.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** an activity is a small dict (`{:actor :verb :object :at :tags}`); a
+  stream is an APL vector of such dicts. Operations are APL primitives lifted onto
+  this shape. SX adapter exposes ergonomic API to non-APL callers.
+- **Unicode:** raw UTF-8 in `.sx` files. APL glyphs land directly.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep Progress log updated and tick boxes.

+## Phase 1 — Stream model + basic ops
+
+- [ ] `lib/feed/normalize.sx` — activity record schema; coerce arbitrary inputs
+- [ ] `lib/feed/stream.sx` — APL vector representation; filter by predicate; sort by

+- [ ] `lib/feed/api.sx` — `(feed/post activity)`, `(feed/all)`
+- [ ] `lib/feed/tests/basic.sx` — 15+ cases: post, query, filter, sort

+- [ ] follower graph: `followers user → vector of user ids`
+- [ ] fanout: activities `∘.×` followers → matrix `(activity, follower)` pairs
+- [ ] flatten to inbox events vector
+- [ ] dedupe — group by `(actor, verb, object)` collapse to one inbox event per

+# flow-on-sx: Durable DAG Workflows on Scheme
+
+rose-ash needs workflows that survive restarts: content pipelines (write → review →
+publish → federate), scheduled jobs (digest emails), multi-step user flows (signup,
+confirm, onboard). art-dag is the precedent — DAG-of-tasks with pause/resume at IO
+boundaries.
+
+Scheme's `call/cc` + delimited continuations make pause/resume natural: a `suspend`
+captures the continuation, serializes it as part of the flow record, and `resume`
+re-enters at exactly that point. No state-machine bookkeeping by hand. R7RS-small is
+already at 2644/2644 (see kernel/architecture status).
+
+End-state: a Scheme-on-SX layer over the existing scheme runtime, with combinators
+for sequence/parallel/branch/retry/timeout/suspend, persistent flow store, and a
+federation extension via fed-sx for remote-node execution.
+
+## Status (rolling)
+
+`bash lib/flow/conformance.sh` → **0/0** (not yet started)
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/flow/**` and `plans/flow-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit
+  `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/scheme/**`, or other `lib/<lang>/`. You may
+  **import** from `lib/scheme/` (public API via `lib/scheme/scheme.sx`); do **not**
+  modify Scheme.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** flow combinators are Scheme macros + procedures. Runtime is a
+  driver loop that walks the flow graph and invokes `call/cc` at `suspend` points.
+  Persistence layer serializes the continuation + open file/socket placeholders are
+  forbidden (continuations must be resumable across process restart).
+- **art-dag awareness:** read `plans/art-dag*` if it exists for design lineage; do not
+  import code.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep Progress log updated and tick boxes.

+# 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.
+- **Status (2026-05-28):** Done. `lib/go/sched.sx` ships channels as
+  closure-bundles `(:go-chan SEND RECV CLOSED? CLOSE! LEN)` sharing a
+  mutable buffer + closed flag. Goroutines: `go` stmt is v0-synchronous
+  (no real preemption — flagged Phase 5b). select dispatches by source
+  order picking first ready case; default makes it non-blocking;
+  blocking-no-default returns `:select-blocked-no-default` sentinel.
+  40 runtime tests + 12 e2e programs use the scheduler primitives.
+  **Two-consumer rule passable** — Erlang's scheduler and Go's
+  scheduler both exist as independent implementations.
+
+### 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._
+
+- 2026-05-28 — **Go-on-SX consumer-side surface fully landed (609/609
+  tests across 7 suites).** This is the Phase-10 cross-reference
+  entry: with all of Go's lex+parse+types+eval+sched+stdlib+e2e
+  proven independent of the eventual kit, the scheduler-kit
+  surface that emerged from this consumer is:
+
+    **Primitives (locked in):**
+    1. `(:go-chan SEND RECV CLOSED? CLOSE! LEN)` — closures-over-
+       mutable-state channel. Identity matters (distinct `make()`
+       calls produce distinct closures, `(= ch1 ch2)` false).
+    2. `(:go-defer CALLEE FROZEN-ARGS)` — frame-attached cleanup
+       record. Args evaluated at defer-time; call deferred to
+       frame exit.
+    3. `__go-defer-stack` — frame-local mutable list of
+       defer records. Drained LIFO at frame exit by `go-run-defers!`.
+    4. `__go-panic-cell` (STATE V) — frame-attached out-of-band
+       channel. STATE ∈ {:none, :raised, :recovered}. `recover()`
+       walks env chain to find the outermost :raised cell.
+    5. `(:go-panic V)` — propagating sentinel.
+    6. v0 stub `after(d)` — channel already buffered with `:tick`.
+       Real time becomes a refinement of *when* readiness flips,
+       not of the protocol.
+
+    **Cross-cutting abstractions (chiselled):**
+    - **Readiness protocol** (sched-pick): `select` consults
+      `ready?` over its cases; send/recv/timer/etc. all factor
+      through one predicate. See 2026-05-27 entry.
+    - **Frame-cleanup queue vs scheduler ready-queue** — distinct
+      orthogonal slots; conflating them was an early temptation
+      and stays explicit in the design.
+    - **Control-flow sentinels unify** at every AST boundary
+      (block, for, range-for, stmt-catch-all, program-loop): each
+      needs the same `propagates?` predicate inline. Kit should
+      expose ONE helper instead of N inline arms.
+
+    **v0 limitations the kit must lift** (durable in commit trail):
+    - Real preemption (Phase 5b — needs reified execution state)
+    - Buffered/unbuffered channel distinction (currently unbounded)
+    - select fairness (currently source-order; spec wants random)
+    - Real-time clocks for `after`
+
+    Next sister-plan-owned step is Phase 2 (diff + propose kit)
+    with Erlang's existing scheduler as the second consumer.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — **Phase 6 closed: control-flow-sentinel unification
+  observation.** After wiring panic propagation through 4 sites
+  (go-eval-block, go-eval-for, go-eval-stmt's catch-all, go-eval-
+  program-loop), a clear pattern emerged: every control-flow boundary
+  needs the same dispatch arm — check for `:return-value`, `:break`,
+  `:continue`, `:eval-error`, `(:go-panic ...)` — in the same order.
+  Adding a new sentinel (say `:goroutine-killed` from a real
+  preemption model) means hunting for every site and adding another
+  arm. This is precisely the kind of cross-cutting concern a
+  scheduler kit should abstract.
+
+  **Concrete kit hint:** define ONE `propagates?` predicate +
+  helper:
+
+    ```
+    (define (control-sentinel? r)
+      (or (terminal-return? r)
+          (break? r) (continue? r)
+          (raised-error? r) (raised-panic? r)
+          (goroutine-killed? r)))
+    ```
+
+  Every control-flow site calls this once. New sentinel = one place
+  to add an arm; not 7. The kit's `frame-driver` should expose this
+  primitive so guest evaluators (Go, Erlang, future targets) all
+  share the dispatch logic and only differ on which sentinels they
+  emit.
+
+  This is the second cross-cutting abstraction (after panic cell +
+  defer queue) the Go consumer has chiselled out. The pattern is:
+  scheduler kit primitives = "things every guest evaluator's control-
+  flow boundary needs once" — not "things only the scheduler runtime
+  needs." The scheduler runtime is the *driver*; the boundary
+  primitives are kit-grade shared infrastructure.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — **Phase 6: panic/recover shape lands.** The panic
+  cell is the missing piece. It's a per-frame mutable record of
+  shape `(STATE VALUE)` carrying one of `:none` / `:raised` /
+  `:recovered`. Three properties matter for the scheduler kit:
+
+    1. **It survives the function boundary** via env-chain lookup —
+       when a deferred call's own frame creates a shadowing cell,
+       `recover()` walks past it to find the OUTER frame's cell (the
+       one that's `:raised`). This is the same mechanism the
+       scheduler will need when a panic-unwinding goroutine has
+       multiple frames each carrying their own state, and the
+       "current panic" must be locatable from any depth.
+
+    2. **It flips state in place** (`set-nth!`) so that the change
+       made by `recover()` deep in a defer chain is visible to the
+       enclosing frame's exit check. The scheduler kit needs the
+       same pattern: a goroutine's "termination reason" must be
+       writable by any frame in its stack.
+
+    3. **It's distinct from the return-value channel.** A frame can
+       carry both `(:go-panic V)` from its body AND a recovery
+       commitment in its panic cell; they're checked in sequence.
+       For the scheduler this maps to: a goroutine carries both its
+       running-state (channel-blocked, ready, sleeping) AND its
+       termination-record (panic V / clean exit / killed) — two
+       orthogonal slots, not one tag.
+
+  Concrete kit hint: every frame record should expose
+  `frame-panic-cell` alongside `frame-defer-queue`. The scheduler's
+  exit-path becomes: drain defers (cell may flip :raised→:recovered)
+  → consult cell → either propagate or return clean. Erlang's
+  `try/catch/after` decomposes identically: `after` is the defer
+  queue, `catch` is the recover-via-cell mechanism.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — **Phase 6 first slice: defer + LIFO observation.**
+  Go's defer is a *frame-local cleanup queue* — a list of (callee,
+  pre-evaluated-args) records appended on `defer`, drained LIFO at
+  frame exit. The scheduler kit needs the same shape because: (a) a
+  panicking goroutine must run its frame's defers before unwinding to
+  the next frame; (b) a goroutine that exits cleanly still runs them;
+  (c) `select` cases that own resources (an acquired send slot, a
+  buffer reservation) need a cleanup hook on the case-not-taken path.
+  All three reduce to the same primitive: **"hand the frame a list
+  of thunks; call them LIFO before the frame is gone."**
+
+  Concretely the kit should expose `frame-defer!` (push) and an
+  internal `frame-teardown!` (drained by the scheduler on exit / by
+  the panic unwinder on abort). The scheduler's exit-path becomes:
+
+    1. Mark frame done.
+    2. Call `frame-teardown!` — run defers LIFO. A defer that itself
+       panics: capture the new panic, continue running the rest
+       (matches Go spec).
+    3. Release frame slot.
+
+  Crucially the defer queue is *not* the same as the scheduler's
+  ready-queue — confusing the two was an early temptation. The defer
+  queue is per-frame and synchronous-on-exit; the ready-queue is
+  global and async. Phase 5b will need to keep these distinct when
+  real preemption lands.
+
+  Test signal that drove the shape: SX assignment shadows rather than
+  mutates, so the only observable side-effect channel for deferred
+  calls is `(append! buf ...)` on a value with stable identity (e.g.
+  a channel). That maps cleanly to "deferred work emits its effects
+  through capabilities the frame held, not through enclosing-env
+  mutation" — which is also how the scheduler kit's deferred work
+  should communicate with the rest of the system. No magic; just
+  capabilities the frame can hand to its defers.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — **Phase 5 acceptance crossed (40 runtime tests).**
+  Final shape observation: *time-as-readiness-flip*. The Go side
+  added an `after(d)` builtin that returns a channel **already
+  holding** a tick value — duration is ignored in v0. The select
+  loop doesn't care that the channel got its value "via time"; it
+  only consults `ready?`. This separates two concerns the eventual
+  kit had been conflating:
+
+    1. **The wake-up protocol** — what `select` asks of every case:
+       "are you ready right now?" Channel-recv answers via "buffer
+       non-empty or closed"; channel-send via "buffer has room";
+       timer via "deadline reached." All three flatten to a single
+       `ready?` predicate.
+
+    2. **The scheduling oracle** — *when* a case's `ready?` flips
+       from false to true. For channels this is driven by other
+       goroutines sending/receiving; for timers it's driven by a
+       wall-clock or monotonic source.
+
+  v0 collapses #2 (timer = ready immediately, sends always ready,
+  recvs ready iff buffer non-empty) and exposes #1 as the only
+  thing the dispatcher needs to know. Phase 5b refines #2 with
+  blocking semantics and real time, but #1 stays the same shape.
+
+  Concretely: the kit's `select-case` should take `:ready?-fn` per
+  case, not three different "is-this-a-send-or-recv-or-timer" tags.
+  Send/recv/timer become factory functions that produce a
+  `(:ready? FN :commit! FN)` record — the dispatcher walks cases,
+  picks the first whose `ready?` returns true, calls `commit!` to
+  extract the value (and side-effect: drain buffer, fire timer).
+  This is the same shape as a STM transaction over case-set, and
+  matches Erlang's `receive` clauses too (each pattern is a
+  ready-predicate + commit-action over the mailbox head).
+
+  Ping-pong remains impossible in v0 because the synchronous spawn
+  collapses the `ready?`-flip oracle to "always immediate" — the
+  spawned goroutine can never park waiting for the parent to send.
+  Phase 5b must restore the wake-up dimension; until then the kit
+  spec should encode the readiness-protocol design even though the
+  oracle is degenerate.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — From Go-on-SX Phase 5 first slice: the channel
+  primitive landed as closures-over-mutable-state in
+  `lib/go/sched.sx`. Concrete shape:
+
+  ```
+  (list :go-chan SEND-FN RECV-FN CLOSED?-FN CLOSE!-FN)
+  ```
+
+  Each closure captures a shared `buf` (a mutable list) and `closed`
+  flag (a let-bound boolean mutated via `set!`). Identity: two
+  `make()` calls produce distinct closures, satisfying Go spec
+  § Channel types' "distinct channels with same type" rule.
+
+  **Design insight for the kit**: the channel-as-closure-bundle shape
+  is the right scheduler-kit primitive — implementation-hide the
+  buffer behind opaque accessor closures, so the underlying storage
+  can be swapped (linked list → ring buffer → segmented array) without
+  changing the API. Erlang's mailboxes will need the same trick.
+
+  **v0 limitation logged**: no real preemption. SX doesn't expose
+  first-class continuations to guest code, so v0 runs `go f()`
+  synchronously and relies on the spawned goroutine completing before
+  the main goroutine receives. Real concurrent semantics — blocking
+  send on full buffer, blocking recv on empty — needs the
+  scheduler kit to ship the suspension/resumption machinery (or for
+  Phase 5b to bake CEK-style trampolining into the eval layer).
+
+  Cross-ref: the `:select-case` uniform shape from the parser-side
+  diary entry pairs with this — the kit's `sched-select` should
+  accept a list of channel-op cases (built from the closures-over-
+  state primitives logged here) and pick a ready one. Source:
+  Go-on-SX commit landing `lib/go/sched.sx` first cut.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — Follow-up from same Phase 2 work: **`select` AST shape**
+  landed. Each case is `(list :select-case COMM-STMT BODY)` where
+  COMM-STMT is one of `:send`, `:short-decl` (recv into new var),
+  `:assign` (recv into existing var), or a bare receive expression
+  `(:app (:var "<-") [chan])`. The shape is uniform across all four
+  comm-stmt kinds — the kit's `sched-select` primitive should accept a
+  list of cases each described by `(direction chan value-target?)` and
+  let the kit's runtime pick a ready case. That uniformity is what
+  makes a single kit primitive cover all four Go case shapes.
+
+  Also: Go's `select` with `default` makes the multiplexer non-blocking;
+  without default it blocks until a case is ready. The kit primitive
+  should mirror this — present-or-absent default determines blocking
+  semantics. Erlang's `receive ... after Timeout -> ...` is a similar
+  pattern with a timeout case rather than default; the kit primitive
+  should handle both as instances of "non-blocking-fallback case."
+  Source: Go-on-SX commit `parse.sx — switch + select`.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — From Go-on-SX Phase 2 (parser side, ahead of scheduler
+  implementation): the **parsed AST shapes** for Go's concurrency
+  primitives have landed and are worth recording before Phase 5 builds
+  the scheduler.
+
+  ```
+  go EXPR              → (list :go EXPR)
+  defer EXPR           → (list :defer EXPR)
+  ch <- v              → (list :send CHAN VALUE)
+  <-ch                 → (list :app (:var "<-") [CHAN])   ; unary recv
+  for range COLL { }   → (list :range-for nil nil nil COLL BODY)
+  for k, v := range C  → (list :range-for :short-decl KEY VAL COLL BODY)
+  ```
+
+  **Design insight for the kit**: the `:go` and `:defer` shapes are
+  pleasingly minimal — both wrap a single expression. Erlang's
+  `spawn(Mod, Fun, Args)` will produce something more elaborate; the
+  scheduler kit primitive `(sched-spawn task)` should accept a thunk so
+  both languages reduce to a uniform spawn API.
+
+  The `:send` shape carries CHAN + VALUE — symmetric with channel-recv
+  as the unary `<-` form. Once the scheduler has channel primitives,
+  both shapes thunk-down to a single `(chan-op direction chan value)`
+  abstraction.
+
+  Range over channels (`for v := range ch`) is currently parsed as
+  range-for with `coll = ch`; the scheduler kit will dispatch on the
+  type of `coll` at execution time (channels yield via receive,
+  collections via iteration). This dispatch is the right place for the
+  scheduler kit to express the channel-receive ⇄ iteration polymorphism.
+  Source: Go-on-SX commit `parse.sx — go/defer/send/range`.

+# 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.
+- **Status (2026-05-28):** Done. `lib/go/types.sx` ships:
+    - **synth/check skeleton:** `go-synth` + `go-check` with first-class
+      error tags `(:type-error TAG ARGS...)`.
+    - **Untyped constants:** `:ty-untyped-int`, `:ty-untyped-float`,
+      `:ty-untyped-string`, `:ty-untyped-rune`. Canonical pitfall
+      handled — `var x float64 = 42 / 7` keeps untyped-int through
+      the divide. `go-unify-untyped` pairs untyped-int+float → float.
+    - **Interface satisfaction:** structural method-set match via
+      `#method/TYPE/NAME` mangled keys; `go-iface-satisfies?`.
+    - **Generics (Phase 7 closed):** `[T any]` / `[T, U any]` /
+      `[T any, U comparable]` parsed + type-checked; opaque
+      `(:ty-param NAME CONSTRAINT)` binding via
+      `go-extend-with-type-params`. Type-set constraints (`int |
+      float64`, `~int`) deferred — needs constraint-satisfaction
+      predicate (chiselled as the kit's 3rd pluggable predicate
+      slot).
+    - **Index synth:** `(:index OBJ IDX)` for slice/array/map → element
+      type. Same AST, 3 role-validators (the "shape is parser, role
+      is validator" lemma at scale).
+  102 types tests pass. Two-language rule still pending: the bidirectional
+  kit needs a SECOND consumer (TS/Rust/typed-Scheme) before extraction.
+  Phase 2's "pick + start" is the next sister-plan-owned step.
+
+### 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._
+
+- 2026-05-28 — **Go-on-SX consumer-side surface fully landed (609/609
+  tests across 7 suites).** This is the Phase-10 cross-reference
+  entry: with all of Go's lex+parse+types+eval+sched+stdlib+e2e
+  proven independent of the eventual kit, the type-system-kit
+  surface that emerged from this consumer is:
+
+    **Three pluggable predicates** (the kit's role-validator slots):
+    1. **`synth(ctx, expr) → ty | error`** — type synthesis from
+       expression structure. Go's instance handles literals,
+       binops, applications, indexing, composites, etc.
+    2. **`assignable?(got, expected) → bool`** — variance + untyped-
+       constant rules. Go's instance handles 3-tier untyped flow
+       (`untyped-int → int → float64` only in specific contexts).
+    3. **`constraint-satisfies?(ty, constraint) → bool`** — does
+       a type fit a constraint? Go: interfaces (structural method
+       set), `comparable`, `any`. TS would: structural subtyping.
+       Haskell: typeclass dictionary resolution. Rust: trait impl.
+
+    **Three orthogonal first-class-tag axes** (clean separation):
+    - **AST nodes** (parser output): `:func-decl`, `:literal`,
+      `:literal-string`, `:app`, `:index`, `:composite`, etc.
+    - **Value-type kinds** (evaluator output): `:go-struct`,
+      `:go-slice`, `:go-map`, `:go-chan`, `:go-fn`, `:go-method`,
+      `:go-builtin`, `:go-builtin-fn`, `:go-package`, `:go-panic`,
+      `:go-defer` — 11 kinds. All shape: `(:KIND PAYLOAD...)`.
+    - **Sentinel signals** (control-flow): `:return-value`, `:break`,
+      `:continue`, `:eval-error`, `:go-panic`.
+
+    All three axes use the same `(first x) == :TAG` discipline.
+    Kit's `kind?` and `kind-of` predicates work uniformly.
+
+    **The "shape is parser, role is validator" lemma**, validated
+    across THREE deliverables:
+    1. Binding-groups (`(:field NAMES TY)`): 6 consumers (struct
+       fields, var-decls, const-decls, params, receivers,
+       type-params), 5 distinct roles (value-typing, value-pinning,
+       constraint-binding, kind-binding, trait-binding).
+    2. Control-flow sentinels: same predicate dispatch at 4+ sites.
+    3. Index synthesis (`(:index OBJ IDX)`): same AST, 3 role-
+       validators (slice / array / map).
+
+    **v0 limitations the kit must lift** (durable in commit trail):
+    - Type-set constraints (`int | float64`, `~int`) — needs
+      constraint-satisfies? predicate real implementation.
+    - Type inference at call sites — Go's algorithm; currently
+      relies on type erasure at eval.
+    - nil-as-unbound — env-lookup needs an "absent" sentinel.
+    - First-char literal classification (was a bug; fixed by
+      `:literal-string` parser tag).
+
+    Next sister-plan-owned step is Phase 2 (pick + start second
+    consumer — recommendation: TypeScript). Two-language rule
+    still pending until the second consumer lands.
+
+- 2026-05-28 — From Go-on-SX Phase 8 first slice — **value-type
+  kinds confirm the "kind-tag + payload" shape as cross-runtime
+  primitive.** When the stdlib landed, packages joined the existing
+  registry of value-type kinds:
+
+    - `(:go-struct TY-NAME FIELDS)` — composite by-field state
+    - `(:go-slice ELEMS)` — sequential by-position state
+    - `(:go-map ENTRIES)` — keyed state
+    - `(:go-chan ACCESSORS)` — closure-bundle (channel)
+    - `(:go-fn PARAMS BODY)` — user function value
+    - `(:go-method RECV PARAMS BODY)` — method value
+    - `(:go-builtin NAME)` — name-dispatched builtin
+    - `(:go-builtin-fn FN)` — closure-dispatched builtin (NEW)
+    - `(:go-package NAME ENTRIES)` — namespace value (NEW)
+    - `(:go-panic V)` — unwinding-control value
+    - `(:go-defer CALLEE ARGS)` — frame-cleanup record
+
+  All eleven kinds use the same `(:KIND-TAG PAYLOAD...)` shape.
+  None of them are AST nodes (those are `:func-decl`, `:literal`,
+  etc.); they're VALUES the evaluator produces. The orthogonal axes
+  the kit should care about:
+
+    1. **AST nodes** (parser output, evaluator input)
+    2. **Value-type kinds** (evaluator output, predicate input)
+    3. **Sentinel signals** (control-flow: return/break/panic/etc.)
+
+  All three subscribe to the same first-class-tag discipline:
+  `(first x)` answers "what kind is this?" and the rest is payload.
+  The kit's `kind?` and `kind-of` predicates work uniformly across
+  all three axes.
+
+  For the bidirectional checker specifically, this means the
+  `assignable?(got, expected)` predicate isn't special — it's just
+  one predicate that operates on value-type kinds. The `synth` /
+  `check` skeleton processes AST nodes; the validators it calls
+  operate on value-type kinds. Clean separation: AST is what you
+  parse, value-types are what you check, sentinels are what you
+  propagate. None of them bleed into each other.
+
+  Phase 7's index-synth and Phase 8's package-lookup both fit the
+  same template: AST kind triggers a synth/lookup, returning a
+  value-type kind. The validator-table dispatch from earlier diary
+  entries is the right abstraction; the kit should expose it as a
+  PROTOCOL (Go would phrase this as an interface, Haskell as a
+  typeclass) so all three axes can be extended without modifying
+  the kit.
+
+- 2026-05-28 — From Go-on-SX Phase 7 closing — **the "shape is the
+  parser, role is the validator" lemma.** After landing canonical
+  generic Map/Filter/Reduce/First plus 25+ typer tests, a clear
+  pattern has emerged across THREE distinct deliverables of the
+  Go-on-SX loop:
+
+    1. **Binding-groups** (struct fields / var-decls / params /
+       receivers / type-params): SAME parser, SAME `(:field NAMES
+       TY)` shape, 5 different validators based on what role TY
+       plays.
+
+    2. **Control-flow sentinels** (return-value / break / continue /
+       eval-error / go-panic): SAME `(go-panic? r)`-style dispatch
+       at 4+ AST control-flow sites, each calling the same predicate
+       list — would collapse to a single `propagates?` helper.
+
+    3. **Index synthesis** (`xs[0]` for slice / array / map): SAME
+       `(:index OBJ IDX)` AST, 3 element-type extraction rules
+       dispatching on OBJ's type. The validator differs per role,
+       but the parser shape is one.
+
+  The recurring lemma: **the kit's primary primitive is shape
+  recognition (parser + AST); the kit's secondary primitive is a
+  role-validator dispatch table.** Consumers (Go, Erlang, future
+  guests) plug their semantics into the role table; they never need
+  to define new shapes for things that already match an existing
+  AST.
+
+  Architectural payoff: at extraction time, the kit's API should
+  expose:
+
+    - `parse-XXX` → AST shape (one per shape)
+    - `validate-AST(role, ctx)` → either ctx or error (one per role)
+    - `dispatch-table(role)` → which-validator-fires-for-this-AST
+
+  Reuse across guest evaluators happens automatically because the
+  shape is shared. New guests only register new role handlers; they
+  don't extend the parser.
+
+  Concretely for the bidirectional checker: the synth/check skeleton
+  is the shape; assignable? and constraint-satisfies? are roles.
+  Adding a new language means adding a row to the role table, not a
+  column to the AST.
+
+- 2026-05-28 — From Go-on-SX Phase 7 foundation — **the field
+  binding-group is a cross-deliverable shape, confirmed by its 6th
+  consumer (type-parameter lists).** Previously documented uses:
+  struct fields, var-decls, const-decls, func params, method
+  receivers. Now type-parameters re-use the EXACT same parser
+  (`gp-parse-decl-param-group`) and the same `(list :field NAMES TY)`
+  shape — only the meaning of TY differs (it's a *constraint* type,
+  not a value type).
+
+  This is the strongest evidence yet that the kit's primary shape
+  should be a generic `binding-group<TyKind>` parametric over the
+  role TY plays. Five roles emerge:
+
+    1. **value-typing** (struct fields, var-decls, params, receivers):
+       TY is the type of values that bind to NAMES.
+    2. **value-pinning** (const-decls): TY is the type of compile-
+       time-known values.
+    3. **constraint-binding** (type-parameter lists): TY is a
+       constraint that the type-variables NAMES must satisfy.
+    4. **kind-binding** (anticipated for higher-kinded types):
+       TY would be a kind that type-constructors NAMES inhabit.
+    5. **trait-binding** (anticipated for Rust-style impl blocks):
+       TY would be the trait the implementations NAMES provide.
+
+  All five share parser + AST shape; they differ in (a) which
+  predicate validates the relationship between NAMES and TY, and
+  (b) what scope NAMES are visible in. The kit should expose a
+  single `parse-binding-group` consumer and let each role plug in
+  its own validator. This is the same lesson the assignable? +
+  constraint-satisfies? pluggable-predicate work surfaced — kit
+  primitives are SHAPES, validators are PLUGINS.
+
+  Concretely: when the kit extracts, the bidirectional checker
+  exposes `extend-ctx-with-binding-group(role, group)` where role
+  selects the validator. Go's type-params bind via role=
+  "constraint-binding"; struct fields bind via "value-typing".
+  Erlang's pattern bindings will bind via something else again.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — From Go-on-SX Phase 3 — **interface satisfaction** is the
+  third pluggable predicate the kit should ship, alongside `assignable?`
+  and the synth/check skeleton. Go's structural-and-silent
+  satisfaction is one instance; Haskell's typeclass dictionary
+  resolution, Rust's trait `impl` lookup, and TS's structural subtyping
+  are others — all answer the same question with different machinery:
+  "does this value-type fit this constraint-type?"
+
+  Kit proposal:
+
+  ```
+  (constraint-satisfies? CTX VALUE-TY CONSTRAINT-TY) → bool
+  ```
+
+  Different consumers plug in different implementations:
+    * Go: walk interface methods, lookup `#method/T/NAME`.
+    * Haskell: typeclass instance resolution (with global instance table).
+    * Rust: trait impl lookup with where-clause bound check.
+    * TS: structural subtyping with property-by-property comparison.
+
+  The judgment skeleton uses it during `check` when the expected type
+  is itself an interface/constraint:
+
+  ```
+  check Γ e EXPECTED →
+    if EXPECTED is a constraint type:
+      let GOT = synth Γ e
+      if constraint-satisfies? Γ GOT EXPECTED then :ok else mismatch
+    else: use the assignable? path
+  ```
+
+  Source: Go-on-SX commit landing `go-iface-satisfies?` in
+  `lib/go/types.sx` with the `#method/T/NAME` mangled-key storage scheme.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — Follow-up from Phase 3 scaffold: **assignability** has
+  landed as a separate relation from structural equality. Go's
+  untyped-constant flow (`var x float64 = 42 / 7` — 42/7 stays untyped
+  int, then converts to float64) is one instance of a broader pattern:
+  the value's "natural" type isn't quite the slot's type, but they're
+  compatible under a per-language relation.
+
+  **Design insight for the kit**: `check` should *not* call `equal?`
+  on the synthesised vs expected types. It should call a pluggable
+  `assignable?` predicate that each consumer supplies:
+
+  ```
+  (check CTX EXPR EXPECTED) →
+    let GOT = (synth CTX EXPR)
+    if (assignable? GOT EXPECTED) :ok else (:mismatch EXPECTED GOT)
+  ```
+
+  Go's `assignable?` handles untyped constants → numeric-type
+  conversion. TS would supply structural subtyping (`{a: number, b:
+  string}` assignable to `{a: number}`). Rust supplies lifetime-aware
+  type identity with implicit `&T -> &U` where `T: Deref<U>`. None of
+  the consumers need to rewrite synth or the judgment skeleton — only
+  swap in their variance discipline.
+
+  Concretely the kit interface looks like:
+
+  ```
+  (check-with assignable? CTX EXPR EXPECTED) — kit primitive
+  ```
+
+  Source: Go-on-SX commit landing `go-type-assignable?` in
+  `lib/go/types.sx`.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — From Go-on-SX Phase 3 scaffold (`lib/go/types.sx` first
+  cut): the **independent synth/check shape** has landed. Two judgments,
+  both consuming a context-as-value:
+
+  ```
+  (go-synth CTX EXPR)             → TYPE-NODE | (:type-error TAG ...)
+  (go-check CTX EXPR EXPECTED)    → :ok       | (:type-error TAG ...)
+  ```
+
+  Context is an association list of `(NAME TYPE)` bindings; the
+  load-bearing extension primitive is `go-ctx-extend-field` which takes
+  a `(:field NAMES TYPE)` binding-group node and binds every NAME to
+  TYPE. This validates the earlier cross-deliverable observation: the
+  parser produces `:field` once, the type checker consumes it once,
+  same shape across struct fields / func params / var-decls.
+
+  **Design insight for the kit**: the synth/check pair is the canonical
+  judgment skeleton. `check` deferring to `synth + structural-equality`
+  is the v0 default that every consumer overrides for subtype-ish
+  relationships. The kit's `check` should accept a `subtype?` predicate
+  parameter so Go (untyped-constant flow), TS (variance), and Rust
+  (lifetime subtyping) each plug in their own variance discipline
+  without rewriting the whole judgment. The kit's `synth` stays uniform.
+
+  Error shape `(:type-error TAG ...)` with first-class tags
+  (`:unbound`, `:mismatch`, `:unsupported-synth`) gives consumers and
+  IDE tooling structured errors to dispatch on. Untyped-constant flow
+  and binop-synth — the canonical Go pitfall (`var x float64 = 42 / 7`)
+  — arrive next. Source: Go-on-SX commit landing `lib/go/types.sx`.
+
+- 2026-05-27 — From Go-on-SX Phase 2 (func decls landing): parser-side
+  observation that's load-bearing for any bidirectional checker. Go's
+  parser ended up with a single shape — `(list :field NAMES TYPE)` —
+  that recurs in five contexts: struct fields, var decls, const decls,
+  func params, and method receivers. Each represents "these names are
+  bound to this type" — exactly the input shape `check` would consume
+  to seed the context with typed bindings.
+
+  **Design insight**: the canonical bidirectional checker should accept
+  `:field`-shaped AST nodes uniformly across these contexts rather than
+  each context defining a bespoke shape. The kit's `check Γ e T`
+  judgment can dispatch on the enclosing form (struct vs var vs
+  func-param vs ...) but the local per-binding shape stays identical.
+  This is what statically-typed guest #2 should also produce — if it
+  does, the kit can ship a `field-bindings → context-extension` helper
+  that all consumers reuse. Cross-ref Go-on-SX plan's Blockers entry on
+  `ast-binding-group` for the parallel AST-kit proposal that supports
+  this. Source: Go-on-SX commit `parse.sx — func declarations`.
+
+- 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.

+# mod-on-sx: Moderation on Prolog
+
+rose-ash needs moderation infrastructure: reports flagged by users, automated
+classifications (spam, abuse), tiered escalation (auto → human → appeal), audit
+trails. Each decision is the conclusion of a backtracking search over evidence and
+policy rules — exactly what Prolog does.
+
+Where acl-sx says "may this happen?", mod-sx says "should this stay?" The former is
+a positive decision (proof of grant); the latter often a negative one (proof of
+violation), and policy chains naturally backtrack: if the first rule doesn't apply,
+try the next.
+
+End-state: a Prolog-on-SX layer for moderation policy declaration and evaluation,
+with persistent report lifecycle, audit log, escalation state machine, and
+federation extension.
+
+## Status (rolling)
+
+`bash lib/mod/conformance.sh` → **390/390** (roadmap + 19 extensions complete)
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/mod/**` and `plans/mod-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit
+  `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/prolog/**`, or other `lib/<lang>/`. You may
+  **import** from `lib/prolog/` (public API in `lib/prolog/prolog.sx`); do **not**
+  modify Prolog.
+- **Shared-file issues** go under "Blockers" with a minimal repro; do not fix here.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Architecture:** policies are Prolog rules over `report(...)` and `evidence(...)`
+  facts. Decisions are query results. Proof trees become audit records. The state
+  machine for report lifecycle is separate (an SX module on top).
+- **Shared with acl-sx:** rule-engine plumbing may be liftable into `lib/guest/`.
+  Watch for it; flag in Progress log but do not extract until both subsystems are
+  past Phase 2.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep Progress log updated and tick boxes.

+
+## Phase 1 — Report representation + simple policy
+
+- [x] `lib/mod/schema.sx` — `report(id, by, about)`, `classification(id, kind)`,
+  `report_count(subject, n)` Prolog facts; keyword classifier derives evidence
+- [x] `lib/mod/policy.sx` — `mod/mk-rule` + ordered `mod/default-rules`; conditions
+  (`:classification`, `:count-at-least`) compile to Prolog goals; `policy_action/3`
+  clauses, last clause `true` so every report yields at least `:keep`
+- [x] `lib/mod/engine.sx` — `(mod/decide-report r reports rules)` queries
+  `policy_action(Id, Action, Rule)` with `pl-query-one` (clause order = precedence);
+  returns a decision dict `{:action :rule :report-id :proof}` carrying the why
+- [x] `lib/mod/api.sx` — registry + `(mod/report by about reason)`, `(mod/decide id)`
+- [x] `lib/mod/tests/decide.sx` — 31 cases: spam/abuse keyword, repeated→escalate,
+  no-rule→keep, precedence (spam beats repeated), proof shape, registry ids
+- [x] `lib/mod/scoreboard.{json,md}`
+- [x] `lib/mod/conformance.sh`
+
+## Phase 2 — Evidence + audit trail
+
+- [x] evidence accumulation — `report :evidence` list; `mod/attach-evidence` +
+  api `mod/add-evidence`; asserted as `evidence(Id, 'kind', 'val')` facts;
+  new `:evidence` condition + `reviewer-remove` rule consume it
+- [x] proof tree from Prolog derivation — `mod/proof-goals` re-queries each body
+  goal (id bound) against the same DB, recording goal text, solved?, and the
+  bindings that satisfied it (e.g. count goal yields N=3, S=subject)
+- [x] `lib/mod/audit.sx` — append-only log: monotonic `:seq`, decision + proof +
+  evidence snapshot; never mutates prior entries
+- [x] `(mod/audit id)` retrieval (+ `mod/audit-latest`, `mod/audit-all`, count)
+- [x] `lib/mod/tests/audit.sx` — 29 cases: proof goal text/bindings, evidence-driven
+  decisions, append-only ordering, per-report retrieval, snapshot-at-decision-time
+
+## Phase 3 — Escalation + lifecycle state machine
+
+- [x] state machine: `lib/mod/lifecycle.sx` — `:open → :triaged → :decided →
+  :appealed → :final` as a pure SX module over the engine; transition table guards
+  illegal moves (sets `:error`, leaves state); immutable cases with `:history`
+- [x] auto-tier: `mod/case-triage` runs the engine; terminal action (hide/remove/
+  keep) → tier `auto`, `mod/case-resolve` advances to `:decided`
+- [x] human-tier: `:escalate` action → tier `human`; `mod/case-resolve` is blocked
+  (sets `:error`); `mod/case-review` attaches evidence, re-decides, advances
+- [x] appeal: `mod/case-appeal` attaches appeal evidence + re-runs the engine; new
+  `exonerated-keep` rule (top precedence) lets exoneration override a prior `:hide`
+- [x] `(mod/appeal id new-evidence)` API — lifecycle façade over a case registry in
+  api.sx (`mod/triage` / `resolve` / `review` / `appeal` / `finalize`), logging
+  each committed decision to the audit trail
+- [x] `lib/mod/tests/escalation.sx` — 46 cases: transition guards, auto/human tiers,
+  blocked resolve, full appeal-override traversal, history, api façade
+
+## Phase 4 — Federation
+
+- [x] cross-instance reports — `mod/fed-receive-report peer …` ingests a peer's
+  report into the local registry, tagging origin; `mod/report-origin` resolves it
+  (local reports default to `"local"`); the engine decides federated reports
+  unchanged
+- [x] decision sharing — `mod/fed-share-decision decision peers` pushes messages to
+  the mock outbox (`mod/fed-send!` is the seam the real fed-sx transport replaces)
+- [x] trust model — `mod/fed-receive-decision` applies a peer's decision locally
+  ONLY when `(mod/trusted? peer :mod)`; otherwise it lands in the advisory log,
+  unapplied. `mod/grant-trust` / `mod/revoke-trust` manage the trust registry
+- [x] revocation — `mod/fed-revoke!` marks the applied action revoked + emits a
+  revocation message to the origin; `mod/fed-revoke-if-invalidated` re-runs the
+  engine and revokes only when the action no longer holds (proof invalidated)
+- [x] `lib/mod/tests/fed.sx` — 26 cases: trust grant/scope/revoke, cross-instance
+  ingest + origin, outbox sharing, advisory-vs-trusted apply, revocation +
+  invalidation (exoneration flips hide→keep → revoked)
+
+## Extensions (post-roadmap)
+
+- [x] **Ext 1 — negation-as-failure** (`lib/mod/tests/extensions.sx`, +14). Report
+  `:attrs`; policy conditions `(:attr "x")` → `attr(Id, x)` and `(:not <cond>)` →
+  `not(<cond>)` (the Prolog supports `not/1` and `\+/1` as *functors*, not the
+  prefix `\+` operator). Closed-world example: "hide spam UNLESS author verified".
+  Default policy untouched — demonstrated via custom rule sets, so all 132 base
+  tests stay green.
+- [x] **Ext 2 — weighted/aggregate scoring** (+8). Report `:signals` ({:kind
+  :weight}) project to `signal(Id, 'kind', weight)` facts; condition
+  `(:score-at-least N)` → `aggregate_all(sum(W), signal(Id, _, W), T), T >= N`.
+  Many weak signals accumulate past a threshold — genuine Prolog arithmetic
+  aggregation. Default policy untouched.
+- [x] **Ext 3 — proof explanation** (`lib/mod/explain.sx`, +10). `mod/explain`
+  renders a decision into a readable "why": action + rule, evidence line, and the
+  derivation goal-by-goal with `[proved]`/`[unproved]` marks and unification
+  bindings. E.g. `Report rc: escalate (rule: repeated-escalate)` … `[proved]
+  report(rc, B, S), report_count(S, N), N >= 3  {B=ann, N=3, S=dave}`.
+- [x] **Ext 19 — end-to-end triage pipeline** (`lib/mod/pipeline.sx`, +15).
+  `mod/triage-pipeline domain r reports actor` runs a report through domain-policy
+  decision → explanation → AP activity → wire, returning the full bundle. The test
+  is a genuine integration across 5 modules including a federated handoff (market
+  decision → wire → peer → trust-gated apply). The capstone that proves the
+  independently-built modules compose.
+- [x] **Ext 18 — ergonomic defrule / ruleset** (`lib/mod/defrule.sx`, +11). The
+  roadmap's `(defrule …)` surface, done with `&rest` variadics (no macro needed —
+  conditions are already plain data): `mod/defrule` collects trailing conditions,
+  `mod/ruleset` assembles rules. Produces structurally identical rules to `mk-rule`
+  and works in the engine unchanged.
+- [x] **Ext 17 — per-domain policy registry** (`lib/mod/policies.sx`, +14).
+  `mod/register-policy! domain rules` + `mod/decide-in domain r reports` give each
+  rose-ash domain (blog/market/events/…) its own rule set; unregistered domains
+  fall back to default-rules so a new domain is never unmoderated. Same spam report
+  → :remove under a strict market policy, :hide under blog's default.
+- [x] **Ext 16 — ActivityPub-shaped export** (`lib/mod/activity.sx`, +17).
+  `mod/decision->activity` maps a decision to a moderation verb (remove→Delete,
+  ban→Block, hide/escalate→Flag, keep→no activity) shaped like an AP activity
+  ({:type :actor :object :summary}), the precise mod action preserved in :action.
+  `mod/decisions->activities` batch-exports, dropping keeps — ready for the
+  platform's AP event bus / federated peers.
+- [x] **Ext 15 — disjunctive conditions** (`policy.sx` + `tests/disjunction.sx`,
+  +10). `(:any (list c1 c2 …))` compiles to Prolog disjunction `(g1 ; g2 ; …)`,
+  completing the condition boolean algebra (AND via the :when list, `:not`, `:any`).
+  Composes recursively — `:any` over `:not`/`:attr`/classification, and ANDs with
+  other conditions in the same rule. One rule now covers "spam OR abuse".
+- [x] **Ext 14 — decision wire format** (`lib/mod/wire.sx`, +16). The bytes that
+  cross `fed/fed-send!`: `mod/decision->wire` emits a versioned pipe-delimited line
+  (`MOD1|r1|hide|spam-hide`), `mod/wire->decision` parses it back (`mod/wire-valid?`
+  guards). Built `mod/split-char` over `slice`/`len` (loaded env has no split).
+  Integration test exercises the full path: serialize → wire → deserialize →
+  `fed-receive-decision` trust-gating (untrusted→advisory, trusted→applied).
+- [x] **Ext 13 — SLA sweep over pending cases** (`lib/mod/sla.sx`, +15). Composes
+  lifecycle (Phase 3) with time (Ext 12): a timed-case pairs a case with the tick
+  it entered its state; `mod/overdue?` flags pending cases (open/triaged/appealed)
+  past a deadline; `mod/sla-sweep` returns the breached report ids. Terminal states
+  never breach. Pure overlay — lifecycle stays timeless, the caller stamps entry.
+- [x] **Ext 12 — temporal burst detection** (`lib/mod/temporal.sx`, +15). Reports
+  gain an `:at` tick (deterministic, supplied — never clock-read).
+  `mod/decide-temporal now window` counts reports about the subject within
+  `[now-window, now]`, asserts `burst_count/2`, and a `(:burst-at-least K)` rule
+  fires only on a real burst. Verified: 3 reports at ticks 10/11/12 → hide;
+  3 reports at 1/2/12 (window 5) → keep, while the plain count rule escalates both.
+- [x] **Ext 11 — batch triage + corpus analytics** (`lib/mod/batch.sx`, +17).
+  `mod/decide-batch` triages a queue; `mod/action-histogram` summarizes outcomes by
+  action; `mod/rule-coverage` / `mod/never-fired` measure which rules fire across a
+  corpus — the *empirical* complement to lint's static unreachable check (Ext 5):
+  lint finds rules that can't fire, never-fired finds rules that didn't.
+- [x] **Ext 10 — policy what-if / impact** (`lib/mod/whatif.sx`, +13).
+  `mod/decision-diff` compares one report's action under two rule sets;
+  `mod/policy-impact` runs a batch and returns only the reports whose decision
+  flips; `mod/impact-count` / `mod/impact-report` summarize. Lets a team measure a
+  policy change before shipping it (e.g. "removing spam-hide flips r1 hide→keep").
+- [x] **Ext 9 — policy dry-run trace** (`lib/mod/trace.sx`, +15). `mod/trace-rules`
+  evaluates a report against every rule and returns each rule's proved/unproved
+  status + its goal-by-goal derivation, so an unproved rule shows which goal
+  failed. `mod/first-proved` = the winner (engine precedence), `mod/proved-rules`
+  the full firing set, `mod/trace-report` a `[fires]`/`[  -  ]` rendering. Answers
+  "why didn't my rule fire?" without instrumenting the engine.
+- [x] **Ext 8 — quorum over distinct reporters** (`lib/mod/quorum.sx`, +9). Anti-
+  brigade: `(:reporters-at-least N)` compiles to `setof(Br, report(_, Br, Sr), Bsr),
+  length(Bsr, Nr), Nr >= N` — distinct reporters, not raw report count.
+  `mod/decide-quorum` asserts every report's `report/3` fact (the base engine only
+  asserts the decided one) so Prolog can aggregate reporters. Verified one user
+  filing 3 reports stays `:keep` under quorum while the count rule would escalate.
+  (Substrate note: `^` existential doesn't parse; `setof(B, p(_, B, S), …)` with `_`
+  yields the distinct set in a single solution here.)
+- [x] **Ext 7 — repeat-offender escalation** (`lib/mod/offenders.sx`, +19). The
+  audit log as evidence: `mod/subject-sanctions` counts prior hide/remove/ban
+  decisions about a subject; `mod/decide-escalating id k` decides normally then
+  upgrades a *sanction* to `:ban` when the subject already has ≥k prior sanctions.
+  Non-sanction outcomes (keep/escalate) pass through untouched. First decision
+  whose input spans history beyond the single report — read from the trail, not
+  re-derived.
+- [x] **Ext 6 — strictest-wins strategy** (`lib/mod/severity.sx`, +14). Alternative
+  to first-match: `mod/decide-strictest` collects every proven rule (`pl-query-all`)
+  and picks the highest-`mod/action-severity` action (keep<escalate<hide<remove<ban).
+  Diverges from the default engine when rule order and severity disagree. Same
+  decision shape + `:strategy`; engine untouched.
+- [x] **Ext 5 — policy lint** (`lib/mod/lint.sx`, +14). Static analysis of a rule
+  set: `mod/unreachable-rules` flags rules placed after an unconditional (always-
+  matching) rule — structurally dead under first-match precedence;
+  `mod/has-catchall?` checks every report gets a decision; `mod/duplicate-rule-names`
+  + `mod/rules-ok?` give a one-call well-formedness verdict. No engine run needed.
+- [x] **Ext 4 — report linking / dedup** (`lib/mod/link.sx`, +12). `mod/related-ids`
+  and `mod/reporters-of` find reports about a subject via a Prolog relational query
+  (`report(Id, _, 'subject')`) — the policy substrate reused for retrieval.
+  `mod/dedup-reports` collapses identical reports (reporter|subject|reason key,
+  case-insensitive); `mod/distinct-reporters-of` counts unique reporters.
+
+## Shared-plumbing extraction — evaluated post-merge, DECLINED
+
+Both layers now live on architecture; the extraction was evaluated by reading
+both implementations side by side. **Finding: do not extract — the convergence is
+in module *names* only, not implementations.** The engines and decision models
+genuinely differ, so a shared module would be premature abstraction that ages
+badly. (This reverses the pre-read note that listed audit + fed trust/outbox as
+candidates; reading the code showed they don't actually share.)
+
+- **Federation — zero shared code.** mod gates trust in SX (a `{:peer :scope}`
+  registry + `grant`/`revoke`/`trusted?`) and shares *decisions* (outbox,
+  advisory/applied logs, `receive-decision`). acl gates trust *inside Datalog*
+  (`trust(Peer,L)` / `level_covers` facts + an engine rule re-checked per query)
+  and shares *facts* (`fetch`/`collect`/`build-db`, `assert!`/`retract!`). acl has
+  no trust registry, no `trusted?`, no outbox. Opposite architectures — the only
+  common token is the word "trust."
+- **Audit — only a ~5-fn core overlaps, and it diverges.** Entry shapes differ
+  entirely (mod `{:action :rule :proof :evidence :report-id :seq}` vs acl
+  `{:allowed? :act :subj :res :seq}`); seq base differs (acl 0, mod 1, both
+  test-visible); op sets barely intersect (mod: by-`report-id` + `latest`; acl:
+  `tail`/`snapshot`/`restore`/`serialize`); even the list idiom differs (acl
+  `append!`+copy vs mod pure `append`+`set!`). A shared module would also have to
+  satisfy two different restricted eval envs (prolog- vs datalog-loaded). Cost
+  (shared module + refactor both + rewrite acl's serialize/snapshot onto a foreign
+  core + cross-env risk + coupling two independent loops) far exceeds the benefit
+  (dedup ~5 trivial lines that don't even agree on seq-base or mutation idiom).
+- **Engines + `explain`** were never shareable: Datalog yields derivation trees
+  natively; mod reconstructs proofs via per-goal `pl-query-all`.
+- **Trivia** (`join-with`, `any?`, `str-contains?`, `distinct`) is one-liners, not
+  worth a module.
+
+**Outcome:** keep mod (Prolog) and acl (Datalog) as parallel independent
+implementations. The parallel structure is correct for two different engines; the
+shared abstraction is not. Revisit only if a third rule-engine consumer appears
+with the *same* trust/audit model (rule of three), not before.
+
+## Progress log
+
+- **Ext 19 — end-to-end triage pipeline, 390/390** (+15). Capstone: one
+  orchestration call composes domain policy + decide + explain + activity + wire,
+  and the integration test runs the whole federated path (decide in a domain →
+  wire → peer → trust-gated apply) across 5 modules. Confirms the subsystem — built
+  module-by-module — actually composes end to end. mod-sx now spans schema → policy
+  DSL (boolean algebra + count/score/reporters/burst) → engine + proofs → audit →
+  lifecycle → SLA → federation (trust/wire/AP) → analytics (trace/whatif/lint/batch)
+  → domain policies → pipeline, all on the green lib/prolog substrate, 390 tests.
+- **Ext 18 — ergonomic defrule / ruleset, 375/375** (+11). Closes the roadmap's
+  original `defrule` surface. `fn` supports `&rest` here, and conditions evaluate
+  to plain data, so no macro is needed — variadic functions give the ergonomics
+  safely. Equivalence to `mk-rule` is asserted, so it's pure sugar with no new
+  semantics.
+- **Ext 17 — per-domain policy registry, 364/364** (+14). Multi-tenant policy:
+  the engine already took `rules` as a parameter, so domain-scoping is just a
+  registry + a default fallback — no engine change. Makes the whole policy
+  vocabulary (16 prior features) per-domain configurable. Default fallback means
+  adding a domain can't accidentally leave it unmoderated.
+- **Ext 16 — ActivityPub-shaped export, 350/350** (+17). Bridges mod-sx to the
+  wider rose-ash platform, which propagates cross-domain effects as AP-shaped
+  activities. Decisions become Flag/Delete/Block activities (keep = no-op); with
+  the wire format (Ext 14) and fed trust model (Phase 4) the federated moderation
+  path is now end-to-end: decide → activity/wire → peer → trust-gate → apply.
+- **Ext 15 — disjunctive conditions, 333/333** (+10). The condition DSL is now a
+  full boolean algebra: AND (the :when list), `:not` (NAF), `:any` (Prolog `;`).
+  cond->goal recurses, so the combinators nest arbitrarily — `:any` of `:not`s, an
+  `:any` ANDed with a `:not`, etc. — and the proof tree shows the compiled
+  disjunction verbatim. Maps directly onto Prolog's own control constructs rather
+  than reimplementing boolean logic in SX.
+- **Ext 14 — decision wire format, 323/323** (+16). Fills the federation transport
+  seam: decisions now serialize to a portable line and parse back, and the
+  integration test runs the whole federated path end-to-end (serialize on one
+  instance → trust-gated apply on another). Needed a hand-rolled `split-char`
+  (loaded env has no split) — over `slice`/`len`, same toolkit as `str-contains?`.
+- **Ext 13 — SLA sweep, 307/307** (+15). Two subsystems compose cleanly: lifecycle
+  states + temporal ticks → "which pending cases have sat too long". Kept lifecycle
+  pure by having the SLA layer carry entry-time externally (timed-case wrapper)
+  rather than stamping the case — same separation-of-concerns as keeping the state
+  machine out of Prolog.
+- **Ext 12 — temporal burst detection, 292/292** (+15). Adds the time dimension:
+  a windowed count distinguishes a burst from slow accumulation, where the plain
+  count rule cannot. Time is a supplied tick (`:at`), keeping everything
+  deterministic and testable — no clock primitive. Fifth report field (`:at`)
+  threaded through the rebuild helpers, same non-breaking pattern as
+  evidence/attrs/signals; all 277 prior tests stayed green.
+- **Ext 11 — batch triage + corpus analytics, 277/277** (+17). Operational layer:
+  triage a queue, histogram the outcomes, and measure rule coverage over real
+  data. `never-fired` pairs with lint (Ext 5) — static "can't fire" vs empirical
+  "didn't fire" — giving policy authors both views of dead rules. Histogram avoids
+  dict mutation by counting over a fixed action vocabulary.
+- **Ext 10 — policy what-if / impact, 260/260** (+13). Decisions are now
+  comparable across rule sets — diff one report, or batch a whole set and surface
+  only the flips. Pure SX over `decide-report`, no engine change. Closes the
+  policy-authoring loop alongside lint (Ext 5) and trace (Ext 9): lint checks
+  well-formedness, trace explains one report, what-if measures a change's blast
+  radius before it ships.
+- **Ext 9 — policy dry-run trace, 247/247** (+15). Whole-rule-set diagnostics over
+  the proof machinery: every rule's fire/no-fire and the goal that decided it. The
+  winner agrees with `decide-report` by construction (first proved = pl-query-one),
+  cross-checked in a test. Turns the proof tree from a per-decision artifact into a
+  policy-debugging tool.
+- **Ext 8 — quorum over distinct reporters, 232/232** (+9). Distinct-reporter
+  consensus via Prolog `setof`/`length`, requiring a second engine variant that
+  asserts all reports (the base engine deliberately scopes facts to the decided
+  report). Demonstrates the substrate handles set-aggregation, and that the
+  brigade case (one actor, many reports) is defeated by counting reporters not
+  reports. `^` existential doesn't parse here — `setof(B, p(_,B,S), …)` with `_`
+  gives the distinct set in one solution.
+- **Ext 7 — repeat-offender escalation, 223/223** (+19). Decisions can now depend
+  on history: the append-only audit log is read back as evidence, and a subject
+  with k prior sanctions has its next sanction upgraded to `:ban`. Closes the loop
+  between audit (Phase 2) and policy — the trail isn't just a record, it feeds
+  future decisions. Non-sanction outcomes never escalate (verified: a clean post
+  that the count rule escalates stays `:escalate`, never `:ban`).
+- **Ext 6 — strictest-wins strategy, 204/204** (+14). A second decision strategy
+  alongside first-match: collect all proven rules and apply the harshest sanction.
+  Shows the substrate supports more than one precedence policy over the same rule
+  facts — `pl-query-all` for the full match set, severity ranking in SX. Verified
+  it diverges from first-match exactly when rule order and severity disagree.
+- **Ext 5 — policy lint, 190/190** (+14). Static analysis of the rule set itself,
+  catching the failure modes first-match precedence makes easy: dead rules after a
+  catch-all, missing catch-all (undecided reports), duplicate names. `mod/rules-ok?`
+  is a single well-formedness gate a policy author can assert in their own tests.
+- **Ext 4 — report linking / dedup, 176/176** (+12). Relational retrieval
+  (`related-ids`, `reporters-of`) reuses the Prolog substrate for *querying* report
+  clusters, not just deciding them — `report(Id, _, 'subject')` by unification.
+  Dedup is pure SX over a normalized link key. Own suite (`tests/link.sx`) — going
+  forward, new extensions get their own test file rather than growing
+  `extensions.sx`. With roadmap + 4 extensions the subsystem now spans schema →
+  policy DSL (6 condition types) → engine + proofs → audit → lifecycle →
+  federation → explanation → linking, all on the green `lib/prolog` substrate.
+- **Ext 3 — proof explanation, 164/164** (+10). `mod/explain` turns the Phase-2
+  proof tree into human-readable text — the audit trail's "why" made legible. Pure
+  SX over existing decision data; no engine change. Renders unification bindings
+  inline (`{B=ann, N=3, S=dave}`) so a moderator sees exactly which facts proved
+  the decision.
+- **Ext 2 — weighted/aggregate scoring, 154/154** (+8). `:signals` + the
+  `(:score-at-least N)` condition push aggregation into Prolog
+  (`aggregate_all(sum(W), …)`), so low-confidence signals can accumulate to a
+  takedown. The schema's report-rebuild helpers (`report*` / `with-*`) now thread
+  six fields; each addition stays non-breaking because empty collections project
+  to empty fact blocks. Default policy and its 132 tests untouched (proven via
+  custom rule sets).
+- **Ext 1 — negation-as-failure, 146/146** (+14). `:attr` and `:not` conditions
+  give the policy closed-world reasoning. The substrate's negation is a functor
+  (`not(Goal)`), not the ISO prefix `\+` operator (that doesn't parse here) —
+  noted for any future negation work. Kept the default rule set and its 132 tests
+  untouched by proving the feature through custom rule sets instead.
+- **Phase 4 complete — 132/132** (+26 fed). **Full roadmap done.** Federation:
+  cross-instance reports, decision sharing, advisory-by-default trust, revocation.
+  fed-sx is mocked behind `mod/fed-send!` (in-memory outbox) — the only seam a real
+  transport must replace. The hard rule is enforced: a peer's decision binds
+  locally only under `(mod/trusted? peer :mod)`; otherwise it is recorded as a
+  suggestion and never auto-applied. Revocation composes with the proof model from
+  Phase 2 — `mod/fed-revoke-if-invalidated` re-runs the *same* engine and undoes a
+  moderation only when the action it once proved no longer holds (an exoneration
+  evidence flips hide→keep, triggering revocation + an origin-bound revocation
+  message).
+  - **Liftable (acl-sx watch):** the trust registry (`grant`/`revoke`/`trusted?`
+    over `{:peer :scope}`) and the outbox/send! seam are generic federation
+    plumbing; candidates for `lib/guest/` if acl-sx grows a federation phase.
+- **Phase 3 complete — 106/106** (+46 escalation). Lifecycle state machine,
+  auto/human tiers, appeal-override, and an api façade. The state machine is a
+  pure SX module (`lib/mod/lifecycle.sx`) over the engine — policy stays in
+  Prolog, lifecycle stays out of it, per the design constraint. Cases are
+  immutable values threaded through transitions; illegal moves set `:error`
+  rather than throwing (the env's error handling is untested, so this keeps tests
+  deterministic). Tier logic: triage runs the engine, an `:escalate` action parks
+  the case at the human tier where `mod/case-resolve` is blocked until
+  `mod/case-review` supplies evidence. Appeal-override works because the new
+  `exonerated-keep` rule sits at top precedence — appeal evidence re-runs the same
+  engine and a higher-precedence clause wins. The api façade (`mod/triage` …
+  `mod/finalize`) keeps a per-report case registry and logs each committed
+  decision to the Phase-2 audit trail, so lifecycle + audit compose.
+  - **Gotcha:** `sx_insert_near` inserts only the FIRST top-level form of a
+    multi-form source — silently drops the rest (byte count barely changes). For
+    multi-form additions, rewrite the file with `sx_write_file`.
+- **Phase 2 complete — 60/60** (+29 audit). Evidence accumulation, constructive
+  proof trees, append-only audit log. A decision's `:proof :goals` is a real
+  derivation: each body goal is re-queried against the same Prolog DB with the
+  report id bound, so the count rule's proof carries `N=3, S=<subject>` straight
+  from unification — not a reconstruction. Evidence is asserted as
+  `evidence(Id, 'kind', 'val')`; the new `reviewer-remove` rule (placed first =
+  highest precedence) lets human review override automated classification.
+  `mod/decide` now commits each decision to the audit log with the evidence
+  snapshot in force at decision time. Unknown predicates in this Prolog fail
+  gracefully (verified) — so an evidence-less report safely falls through the
+  reviewer rule without an existence error.
+  - **Liftable (acl-sx watch):** the proof-tree builder (`mod/proof-goals` —
+    re-query-each-goal) and the append-only log shape are both generic. Both
+    subsystems are now past Phase 2; next time either touches plumbing, evaluate
+    lifting `proof-goals` + the audit-log primitives into `lib/guest/`.
+- **Phase 1 complete — 31/31.** Report schema, keyword classifier, policy DSL,
+  engine, registry api, conformance harness. Decisions are proofs: each carries
+  `:rule` (matching clause), `:proof {:rule :conditions :evidence :count}`.
+  Precedence is Prolog clause order resolved by `pl-query-one`; a trailing
+  `true`-bodied default rule makes "no rule matched" a real `:keep`, not a query
+  failure. Evidence (spam/abuse classification) derived in SX and asserted as
+  `classification/2` facts; repeated-report escalation uses a genuine Prolog
+  join + arithmetic (`report(Id,_,S), report_count(S,N), N >= 3`).
+  - **Gotcha (env):** loading the prolog libs strips `includes?` (and other
+    high-level string prims) from the eval env — only the set the prolog
+    tokenizer itself uses survives (`slice`, `len`, `nth`, `=`, `join`,
+    `downcase`, `map`, `reduce`, `append!`). Implemented `mod/str-contains?` over
+    `slice`/`len` rather than relying on `includes?`. Watch for this in later
+    phases — stick to the blessed primitive set.
+  - **Liftable (acl-sx watch):** `mod/join-with`, `mod/str-contains?`, `mod/any?`,
+    and the rule→clause compilation shape are generic rule-engine plumbing. Do not
+    extract to `lib/guest/` until both mod-sx and acl-sx are past Phase 2.

+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/search/**` and `plans/search-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit
+  `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, `lib/haskell/**`, or other `lib/<lang>/`. You may

+
+## Phase 1 — Tokenize + index
+
+- [ ] `lib/search/tokenize.sx` — normalize (lowercase, strip punctuation), split on
+  whitespace, return positions
+- [ ] `lib/search/index.sx` — inverted index data structure (typed `Map` from
+  haskell lib); `insert`, `delete`, `lookup`
+- [ ] `lib/search/api.sx` — `(search/index doc)`, `(search/lookup term)`
+- [ ] `lib/search/tests/index.sx` — 15+ cases: tokenize, insert + lookup, update,
+  delete, multi-doc
+- [ ] `lib/search/scoreboard.{json,md}`
+- [ ] `lib/search/conformance.sh`
+
+## Phase 2 — Query AST + boolean evaluation
+
+- [ ] Query ADT: `Term Text | And Query Query | Or Query Query | Not Query |
+  Phrase [Text]`
+- [ ] `lib/search/parse.sx` — query syntax parser (boolean operators, quoted phrases)
+- [ ] `lib/search/eval.sx` — boolean eval via set ops on posting lists
+- [ ] phrase eval — adjacency check using positions
+- [ ] `lib/search/tests/boolean.sx` — 25+ cases: term, and, or, not, phrase,
+  composition, parser edge cases
+
+## Phase 3 — Ranking
+
+- [ ] document frequency tracking — extend index with `df` per term
+- [ ] TF-IDF scoring
+- [ ] BM25 scoring (configurable k1, b)
+- [ ] top-N retrieval (heap-based)
+- [ ] `lib/search/tests/rank.sx` — 20+ cases: TF-IDF behavior, BM25 vs TF-IDF,
+  ranking stability, top-N correctness
+
+## Phase 4 — ACL filter + federation
+
+- [ ] post-filter — each candidate result tested via `(acl/permit? viewer :read doc)`
+- [ ] federated query — fan out to peer instances via fed-sx, merge results
+- [ ] merge policy — interleave by rank, dedupe by `(peer, doc-id)`
+- [ ] `lib/search/tests/integration.sx` — federated search with ACL filter
