Progress log: predsort+term_variables+arith, 517/517

- pl-eval-arith: add floor, ceiling, truncate, round, sqrt, sign, pow, integer,
  float, float_integer_part, float_fractional_part, **, ^ operators
- pl-collect-vars: helper that extracts unbound variables from a term (left-to-right,
  deduplicated by var id)
- term_variables/2: dispatches via pl-collect-vars, unifies second arg with var list
- pl-predsort-insert!: inserts one element into a sorted list using a 3-arg comparator
  predicate; deduplicates elements where comparator returns '='
- pl-predsort-build!: builds sorted list via fold over pl-predsort-insert!
- predsort/3: full ISO predsort — sorts and deduplicates a list using a caller-supplied
  predicate
- lib/prolog/tests/advanced.sx: 21 tests (12 arith, 5 term_variables, 4 predsort)
- conformance.sh: add advanced suite
- scoreboard: 517/517 (was 496/496)

-# Ring Benchmark Results
-
-Generated by `lib/erlang/bench_ring.sh` against `sx_server.exe` on the
-synchronous Erlang-on-SX scheduler.
-
-| N (processes) | Hops | Wall-clock | Throughput |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| 10 | 10 | 907ms | 11 hops/s |
-| 50 | 50 | 2107ms | 24 hops/s |
-| 100 | 100 | 3827ms | 26 hops/s |
-| 500 | 500 | 17004ms | 29 hops/s |
-| 1000 | 1000 | 29832ms | 34 hops/s |
-
-(Each `Nm` row spawns N processes connected in a ring and passes a
-single token N hops total — i.e. the token completes one full lap.)
-
-## Status of the 1M-process target
-
-Phase 3's stretch goal in `plans/erlang-on-sx.md` is a million-process
-ring benchmark. **That target is not met** in the current synchronous
-scheduler; extrapolating from the table above, 1M hops would take
-~30 000 s. Correctness is fine — the program runs at every measured
-size — but throughput is bound by per-hop overhead.
-
-Per-hop cost is dominated by:
-- `er-env-copy` per fun clause attempt (whole-dict copy each time)
-- `call/cc` capture + `raise`/`guard` unwind on every `receive`
-- `er-q-delete-at!` rebuilds the mailbox backing list on every match
-- `dict-set!`/`dict-has?` lookups in the global processes table
-
-To reach 1M-process throughput in this architecture would need at
-least: persistent (path-copying) envs, an inline scheduler that
-doesn't call/cc on the common path (msg-already-in-mailbox), and a
-linked-list mailbox. None of those are in scope for the Phase 3
-checkbox — captured here as the floor we're starting from.

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

 ### Phase 3 — clause DB + DFS solver + cut + first classic programs
-- [ ] Clause DB: `"functor/arity" → list-of-clauses`, loader inserts
+- [x] Clause DB: `"functor/arity" → list-of-clauses`, loader inserts — `pl-mk-db` / `pl-db-add!` / `pl-db-load!` / `pl-db-lookup` / `pl-db-lookup-goal`, 14 tests in `tests/clausedb.sx`
-- [ ] Solver: DFS with choice points backed by delimited continuations (`lib/callcc.sx`). On goal entry, capture; per matching clause, unify head + recurse body; on failure, undo trail, try next
+- [x] Solver: DFS with choice points backed by delimited continuations (`lib/callcc.sx`). On goal entry, capture; per matching clause, unify head + recurse body; on failure, undo trail, try next — first cut: trail-based undo + CPS k (no shift/reset yet, per briefing gotcha). Built-ins so far: `true/0`, `fail/0`, `=/2`, `,/2`. Refactor to delimited conts later.
-- [ ] Cut (`!`): cut barrier at current choice-point frame; collapse all up to barrier
+- [x] Cut (`!`): cut barrier at current choice-point frame; collapse all up to barrier — two-cut-box scheme: each `pl-solve-user!` creates a fresh inner-cut-box (set by `!` in this predicate's body) AND snapshots the outer-cut-box state on entry. After body fails, abandon clause alternatives if (a) inner was set or (b) outer transitioned false→true during this call. Lets post-cut goals backtrack normally while blocking pre-cut alternatives. 6 cut tests cover bare cut, clause-commit, choice-commit, cut+fail, post-cut backtracking, nested-cut isolation.
-- [ ] Built-ins: `=/2`, `\\=/2`, `true/0`, `fail/0`, `!/0`, `,/2`, `;/2`, `->/2` inside `;`, `call/1`, `write/1`, `nl/0`
+- [x] Built-ins: `=/2`, `\\=/2`, `true/0`, `fail/0`, `!/0`, `,/2`, `;/2`, `->/2` inside `;`, `call/1`, `write/1`, `nl/0` — all 11 done. `write/1` and `nl/0` use a global `pl-output-buffer` string + `pl-output-clear!` for testability; `pl-format-term` walks deep then renders atoms/nums/strs/compounds/vars (var → `_<id>`). Note: cut-transparency via `;` not testable yet without operator support — `;(,(a,!), b)` parser-rejects because `,` is body-operator-only; revisit in phase 4.
-- [ ] Arithmetic `is/2` with `+ - * / mod abs`
+- [x] Arithmetic `is/2` with `+ - * / mod abs` — `pl-eval-arith` walks deep, recurses on compounds, dispatches on functor; binary `+ - * / mod`, binary AND unary `-`, unary `abs`. `is/2` evaluates RHS, wraps as `("num" v)`, unifies via `pl-solve-eq!`. 11 tests cover each op + nested + ground LHS match/mismatch + bound-var-on-RHS chain.
-- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/prolog/tests/programs/`:
+- [x] Classic programs in `lib/prolog/tests/programs/`:
-  - [ ] `append.pl` — list append (with backtracking)
+  - [x] `append.pl` — list append (with backtracking) — `lib/prolog/tests/programs/append.{pl,sx}`. 6 tests cover: build (`append([], L, X)`, `append([1,2], [3,4], X)`), check ground match/mismatch, full split-backtracking (`append(X, Y, [1,2,3])` → 4 solutions), single-deduce (`append(X, [3], [1,2,3])` → X=[1,2]).
-  - [ ] `reverse.pl` — naive reverse
+  - [x] `reverse.pl` — naive reverse — `lib/prolog/tests/programs/reverse.{pl,sx}`. Naive reverse via append: `reverse([H|T], R) :- reverse(T, RT), append(RT, [H], R)`. 6 tests cover empty, singleton, 3-list, 4-atom-list, ground match, ground mismatch.
-  - [ ] `member.pl` — generate all solutions via backtracking
+  - [x] `member.pl` — generate all solutions via backtracking — `lib/prolog/tests/programs/member.{pl,sx}`. Classic 2-clause `member(X, [X|_])` + `member(X, [_|T]) :- member(X, T)`. 7 tests cover bound-element hit/miss, empty list, generator (count = list length), first-solution binding, duplicate matches counted twice, anonymous head-cell unification.
-  - [ ] `nqueens.pl` — 8-queens
+  - [x] `nqueens.pl` — 8-queens — `lib/prolog/tests/programs/nqueens.{pl,sx}`. Permute-and-test formulation: `queens(L, Qs) :- permute(L, Qs), safe(Qs)` + `select` + `safe` + `no_attack`. Tested at N=1 (1), N=2 (0), N=3 (0), N=4 (2), N=5 (10) plus first-solution check at N=4 = `[2, 4, 1, 3]`. N=8 omitted — interpreter is too slow (40320 perms); add once compiled clauses or constraint-style placement land. `range/3` skipped pending arithmetic-comparison built-ins (`>/2` etc.).
-  - [ ] `family.pl` — facts + rules (parent/ancestor)
+  - [x] `family.pl` — facts + rules (parent/ancestor) — `lib/prolog/tests/programs/family.{pl,sx}`. 5 parent facts + male/female + derived `father`/`mother`/`ancestor`/`sibling`. 10 tests cover direct facts, fact count, transitive ancestor through 3 generations, descendant counting, gender-restricted father/mother, sibling via shared parent + `\=`.
-- [ ] `lib/prolog/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
+- [x] `lib/prolog/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md` — bash script feeds load + eval epoch script to sx_server, parses each suite's `{:failed N :passed N :total N :failures (...)}` line, writes JSON (machine) + MD (human) scoreboards. Exit non-zero on any failure. `SX_SERVER` env var overrides binary path. First scoreboard: 183 / 183.
-- [ ] Target: all 5 classic programs passing
+- [x] Target: all 5 classic programs passing — append (6) + reverse (6) + member (7) + nqueens (6) + family (10) = 35 program tests, all green. Phase 3 architecturally complete bar the conformance harness/scoreboard.
 
 ### Phase 4 — operator table + more built-ins (next run)
-- [ ] Operator table parsing (prefix/infix/postfix, precedence, assoc)
+- [x] Operator table parsing (prefix/infix/postfix, precedence, assoc) — `pl-op-table` (15 entries: `, ; -> = \= is < > =< >= + - * / mod`); precedence-climbing parser via `pp-parse-primary` + `pp-parse-term-prec` + `pp-parse-op-rhs`. Parens override precedence. Args inside compounds parsed at 999 so `,` stays as separator. xfx/xfy/yfx supported; prefix/postfix deferred (so `-5` still tokenises as bare atom + num as before). Comparison built-ins `</2 >/2 =</2 >=/2` added. New `tests/operators.sx` 19 tests cover assoc/precedence/parens + solver via infix.
-- [ ] `assert/1`, `asserta/1`, `assertz/1`, `retract/1`
+- [x] `assert/1`, `asserta/1`, `assertz/1`, `retract/1` — `assert` aliases `assertz`. Helpers `pl-rt-to-ast` (deep-walk + replace runtime vars with `_G<id>` parse markers) + `pl-build-clause` (detect `:-` head). `assertz` uses `pl-db-add!`; `asserta` uses new `pl-db-prepend!`. `retract` walks goal, looks up by functor/arity, tries each clause via unification, removes first match by index (`pl-list-without`). 11 tests in `tests/dynamic.sx`. Rule-asserts now work — `:-` added to op table (prec 1200 xfx) with fix to `pl-token-op` accepting `"op"` token type. 15 tests in `tests/assert_rules.sx`.
-- [ ] `findall/3`, `bagof/3`, `setof/3`
+- [x] `findall/3`, `bagof/3`, `setof/3` — shared `pl-collect-solutions` runs the goal in a fresh cut-box, deep-copies the template (via `pl-deep-copy` with var-map for shared-var preservation) on each success, returns false to backtrack, then restores trail. `findall` always succeeds with a (possibly empty) list. `bagof` fails on empty. `setof` builds a string-keyed dict via `pl-format-term` for sort+dedupe (via `keys` + `sort`), fails on empty. Existential `^` deferred (operator). 11 tests in `tests/findall.sx`.
-- [ ] `copy_term/2`, `functor/3`, `arg/3`, `=../2`
+- [x] `copy_term/2`, `functor/3`, `arg/3`, `=../2` — `copy_term/2` reuses `pl-deep-copy` with a fresh var-map (preserves source aliasing). `functor/3` handles 4 modes: compound→{name, arity}, atom→{atom, 0}, num→{num, 0}, var with ground name+arity→constructed term (`pl-make-fresh-args` for compound case). `arg/3` extracts 1-indexed arg from compound. **`=../2` deferred** — the tokenizer treats `.` as the clause terminator unconditionally, so `=..` lexes as `=` + `.` + `.`; needs special-case lex (or surface syntax via a different name). 14 tests in `tests/term_inspect.sx`.
-- [ ] String/atom predicates
+- [x] String/atom predicates
 
 ### Phase 5 — Hyperscript integration
-- [ ] `prolog-query` primitive callable from SX/Hyperscript

+- 2026-04-25 — List/utility predicates: `==/2`, `\==/2` (structural equality/inequality via `pl-struct-eq?`), `flatten/2` (deep Prolog-list flatten), `numlist/3` (integer range list), `atomic_list_concat/2` (join with no sep), `atomic_list_concat/3` (join with separator), `sum_list/2`, `max_list/2`, `min_list/2` (arithmetic folds), `delete/3` (remove all struct-equal elements). 7 new helpers, 33 tests in `tests/list_predicates.sx`. Total **375** (+33).
+- 2026-04-25 — Meta/logic predicates: `\+/1` (negation-as-failure, trail-undo on success), `not/1` (alias), `once/1` (commit to first solution via if-then-else), `ignore/1` (always succeed), `ground/1` (all vars bound), `sort/2` (sort + dedup by formatted key), `msort/2` (sort, keep dups), `atom_number/2` (bidirectional), `number_string/2` (bidirectional). 2 helpers (`pl-ground?`, `pl-sort-pairs-dedup`). 25 tests in `tests/meta_predicates.sx`. Total **342** (+25).
+- 2026-04-25 — ISO utility predicates batch: `succ/2` (bidirectional), `plus/3` (3-mode bidirectional), `between/3` (backtracking range generator), `length/2` (bidirectional list length + var-list constructor), `last/2`, `nth0/3`, `nth1/3`, `max/2` + `min/2` in arithmetic eval. 6 new helper functions (`pl-list-length`, `pl-make-list-of-vars`, `pl-between-loop!`, `pl-solve-between!`, `pl-solve-last!`, `pl-solve-nth0!`). 29 tests in `tests/iso_predicates.sx`. Phase 6 complete: scoreboard already at 317, far above 200+ target. Hyperscript DSL blocked (needs `lib/hyperscript/**`). Total **317** (+29).
+- 2026-04-25 — `prolog-query` SX API (`lib/prolog/query.sx`). New public API layer: `pl-load source-str → db`, `pl-query-all db query-str → list of solution dicts`, `pl-query-one db query-str → dict or nil`, `pl-query src query → list` (convenience). Each solution dict maps variable name strings to their formatted term strings. Var names extracted from pre-instantiation parse AST. Trail is marked before solve and reset after to ensure clean state. 16 tests in `tests/query_api.sx` cover fact lookup, no-solution, boolean queries, multi-var, recursive rules, is/2 built-in, query-one, convenience form. Total **288** (+16).
+- 2026-04-25 — String/atom predicates. Type-test predicates: `var/1`, `nonvar/1`, `atom/1`, `number/1`, `integer/1`, `float/1` (always-fail), `compound/1`, `callable/1`, `atomic/1`, `is_list/1`. String/atom operations: `atom_length/2`, `atom_concat/3` (3 modes: both-ground, result+first, result+second), `atom_chars/2` (bidirectional), `atom_codes/2` (bidirectional), `char_code/2` (bidirectional), `number_codes/2`, `number_chars/2`. 7 helper functions in runtime.sx (`pl-list-to-prolog`, `pl-proper-list?`, `pl-prolog-list-to-sx`, `pl-solve-atom-concat!`, `pl-solve-atom-chars!`, `pl-solve-atom-codes!`, `pl-solve-char-code!`). 34 tests in `tests/atoms.sx`. Total **272** (+34).
+- 2026-04-25 — `copy_term/2` + `functor/3` + `arg/3` (term inspection). `copy_term` is a one-line dispatch to existing `pl-deep-copy`. `functor/3` is bidirectional — decomposes a bound compound/atom/num into name+arity OR constructs from ground name+arity (atom+positive-arity → compound with N anonymous fresh args via `pl-make-fresh-args`; arity 0 → atom/num). `arg/3` extracts 1-indexed arg with bounds-fail. New helper `pl-solve-eq2!` for paired-unification with shared trail-undo. 14 tests in `tests/term_inspect.sx`. Total **238** (+14). `=..` deferred — `.` always tokenizes as clause terminator; needs special lexer case.
+- 2026-04-25 — `findall/3` + `bagof/3` + `setof/3`. Shared collector `pl-collect-solutions` runs the goal in a fresh cut-box, deep-copies the template per success (`pl-deep-copy` walks term, allocates fresh runtime vars via shared var-map so co-occurrences keep aliasing), returns false to keep backtracking, then `pl-trail-undo-to!` to clean up. `findall` always builds a list. `bagof` fails on empty. `setof` uses a `pl-format-term`-keyed dict + SX `sort` for dedupe + ordering. New `tests/findall.sx` 11 tests. Total **224** (+11). Existential `^` deferred — needs operator.
+- 2026-04-25 — Dynamic clauses: `assert/1`, `assertz/1`, `asserta/1`, `retract/1`. New helpers `pl-rt-to-ast` (deep-walk runtime term → parse-AST, mapping unbound runtime vars to `_G<id>` markers so `pl-instantiate-fresh` produces fresh vars per call) + `pl-build-clause` + `pl-db-prepend!` + `pl-list-without`. `retract` keeps runtime vars (so the caller's vars get bound), walks head for the functor/arity key, tries each stored clause via `pl-unify!`, removes the first match by index. 11 tests in `tests/dynamic.sx`; conformance script gained dynamic row. Total **213** (+11). Rule-form asserts (`(H :- B)`) deferred until `:-` is in the op table.
+- 2026-04-25 — Phase 4 starts: operator-table parsing. Parser rewrite uses precedence climbing (xfx/xfy/yfx); 15-op table covers control (`, ; ->`), comparison (`= \\= is < > =< >=`), arithmetic (`+ - * / mod`). Parens override. Backwards-compatible: prefix-syntax compounds (`=(X, Y)`, `+(2, 3)`) still parse as before; existing 183 tests untouched. Added comparison built-ins `</2 >/2 =</2 >=/2` to runtime (eval both sides, compare). New `tests/operators.sx` 19 tests; conformance script gained an operators row. Total **202** (+19). Prefix/postfix deferred — `-5` keeps old bare-atom semantics.
+- 2026-04-25 — Conformance harness landed. `lib/prolog/conformance.sh` runs all 9 suites in one sx_server epoch, parses the `{:failed/:passed/:total/:failures}` summary lines, and writes `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`. `SX_SERVER` env var overrides the binary path; default points at the main-repo build. Phase 3 fully complete: 183 / 183 passing across parse/unify/clausedb/solve/append/reverse/member/nqueens/family.
+- 2026-04-25 — `family.pl` fifth classic program — completes the 5-program target. 5-fact pedigree + male/female + derived father/mother/ancestor/sibling. 10 tests cover fact lookup + count, transitive ancestor through 3 generations, descendant counting (5), gender-restricted derivations, sibling via shared parent guarded by `\=`. Total 183 (+10). All 5 classic programs ticked; Phase 3 needs only conformance harness + scoreboard left.
+- 2026-04-25 — `nqueens.pl` fourth classic program. Permute-and-test variant exercises every Phase-3 feature: lists with `[H|T]` cons sugar, multi-clause backtracking, recursive `permute`/`select`/`safe`/`no_attack`, `is/2` arithmetic on diagonals, `\=/2` for diagonal-conflict check. 6 tests at N ∈ {1,2,3,4,5} with expected counts {1,0,0,2,10} + first-solution `[2,4,1,3]`. N=5 takes ~30s (120 perms × safe-check); N=8 omitted as it would be ~thousands of seconds. Total 173 (+6).
+- 2026-04-25 — `member.pl` third classic program. Standard 2-clause definition; 7 tests cover bound-element hit/miss, empty-list fail, generator-count = list length, first-solution binding (X=11), duplicate elements matched twice on backtrack, anonymous-head unification (`member(a, [X, b, c])` binds X=a). Total 167 (+7).
+- 2026-04-25 — `reverse.pl` second classic program. Naive reverse defined via append. 6 tests (empty/singleton/3-list/4-atom-list/ground match/ground mismatch). Confirms the solver handles non-trivial recursive composition: `reverse([1,2,3], R)` recurses to depth 3 then unwinds via 3 nested `append`s. Total 160 (+6).
+- 2026-04-25 — `append.pl` first classic program. `lib/prolog/tests/programs/append.pl` is the canonical 2-clause source; `append.sx` embeds the source as a string (no file-read primitive in SX yet) and runs 6 tests covering build, check, full split-backtrack (4 solutions), and deduction modes. Helpers `pl-ap-list-to-sx` / `pl-ap-term-to-sx` convert deep-walked Prolog lists (`("compound" "." (h t))` / `("atom" "[]")`) to SX lists for structural assertion. Total 154 (+6).
+- 2026-04-25 — `is/2` arithmetic landed. `pl-eval-arith` recursively evaluates ground RHS expressions (binary `+ - * /`, `mod`; binary+unary `-`; unary `abs`); `is/2` wraps the value as `("num" v)` and unifies via `pl-solve-eq!`, so it works in all three modes — bind unbound LHS, check ground LHS for equality, propagate from earlier var bindings on RHS. 11 tests, total 148 (+11). Without operator support, expressions must be written prefix: `is(X, +(2, *(3, 4)))`.
+- 2026-04-25 — `write/1` + `nl/0` landed using global string buffer (`pl-output-buffer` + `pl-output-clear!` + `pl-output-write!`). `pl-format-term` walks deep + dispatches on atom/num/str/compound/var; `pl-format-args` recursively comma-joins. 7 new tests cover atom/num/compound formatting, conjunction order, var-walk, and `nl`. Built-ins box (`=/2`, `\\=/2`, `true/0`, `fail/0`, `!/0`, `,/2`, `;/2`, `->/2`, `call/1`, `write/1`, `nl/0`) now ticked. Total 137 (+7).
+- 2026-04-25 — `->/2` if-then-else landed (both `;(->(C,T), E)` and standalone `->(C, T)` ≡ `(C -> T ; fail)`). `pl-solve-or!` now special-cases `->` in left arg → `pl-solve-if-then-else!`. Cond runs in a fresh local cut-box (ISO opacity for cut inside cond). Then-branch can backtrack, else-branch can backtrack, but cond commits to first solution. 9 new tests covering both forms, both branches, binding visibility, cond-commit, then-backtrack, else-backtrack. Total 130 (+9).
+- 2026-04-25 — Built-ins `\=/2`, `;/2`, `call/1` landed. `pl-solve-not-eq!` (try unify, always undo, succeed iff unify failed). `pl-solve-or!` (try left, on failure check cut and only try right if not cut). `call/1` opens a fresh inner cut-box (ISO opacity: cut inside `call(G)` commits G, not caller). 11 new tests in `tests/solve.sx` cover atoms+vars for `\=`, both branches + count for `;`, and `call/1` against atoms / compounds / bound goal vars. Total 121 (+11). Box not yet ticked — `->/2`, `write/1`, `nl/0` still pending.
+- 2026-04-25 — Cut (`!/0`) landed. `pl-cut?` predicate; solver functions all take a `cut-box`; `pl-solve-user!` creates a fresh inner-cut-box and snapshots `outer-was-cut`; `pl-try-clauses!` abandons alternatives when inner.cut OR (outer.cut transitioned false→true during this call). 6 new cut tests in `tests/solve.sx` covering bare cut, clause-commit, choice-commit, cut+fail blocks alt clauses, post-cut goal backtracks freely, inner cut isolation. Total 110 (+6).
+- 2026-04-25 — Phase 3 DFS solver landed (CPS, trail-based backtracking; delimited conts deferred). `pl-solve!` + `pl-solve-eq!` + `pl-solve-user!` + `pl-try-clauses!` + `pl-solve-once!` + `pl-solve-count!` in runtime.sx. Built-ins: `true/0`, `fail/0`, `=/2`, `,/2`. New `tests/solve.sx` 18/18 green covers atomic goals, =, conjunction, fact lookup, multi-solution count, recursive ancestor rule, trail-undo verification. Bug fix: `pl-instantiate` had no `("clause" h b)` case → vars in rule head/body were never instantiated, so rule resolution silently failed against runtime-var goals. Added clause case to recurse with shared var-env. Total 104 (+18).
+- 2026-04-24 — Phase 3 clause DB landed: `pl-mk-db` + `pl-head-key` / `pl-clause-key` / `pl-goal-key` + `pl-db-add!` / `pl-db-load!` / `pl-db-lookup` / `pl-db-lookup-goal` in runtime.sx. New `tests/clausedb.sx` 14/14 green. Total 86 (+14). Loader preserves declaration order (append!).
+- 2026-04-24 — Verified phase 1+2 already implemented on loops/prolog: `pl-parse-tests-run!` 25/25, `pl-unify-tests-run!` 47/47 (72 total). Ticked phase 1+2 boxes.
