+4. If `lib/apl/scoreboard.md` exists, that's your baseline.
+
+## The queue
+
+Phase order per `plans/apl-on-sx.md`:
+
+- **Phase 1** — tokenizer + parser. Unicode glyphs, `¯` for negative, strands (juxtaposition), right-to-left, valence resolution by syntactic position
+- **Phase 2** — array model + scalar primitives. `make-array {shape, ravel}`, scalar promotion, broadcast for `+ - × ÷ ⌈ ⌊ * ⍟ | ! ○`, comparison, logical, `⍳`, `⎕IO`
+- **Phase 3** — structural primitives + indexing. `⍴ , ⍉ ↑ ↓ ⌽ ⊖ ⌷ ⍋ ⍒ ⊂ ⊃ ∊`
+- **Phase 4** — **THE SHOWCASE**: operators. `f/` (reduce), `f¨` (each), `∘.f` (outer), `f.g` (inner), `f⍨` (commute), `f∘g` (compose), `f⍣n` (power), `f⍤k` (rank), `@` (at)
+- **Phase 5** — dfns + tradfns + control flow. `{⍺+⍵}`, `∇` recurse, `⍺←default`, tradfn header, `:If/:While/:For/:Select`
+- **Phase 6** — classic programs (life, mandelbrot, primes, n-queens, quicksort) + idiom corpus + drive to 100+
+
+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/apl/**` and `plans/apl-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root. APL primitives go in `lib/apl/runtime.sx`.
+- **NEVER call `sx_build`.** 600s watchdog. If sx_server binary broken → Blockers entry, stop.
+- **Shared-file issues** → plan's Blockers with minimal repro.
+- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after edits.
+- **Unicode in `.sx`:** raw UTF-8 only, never `\uXXXX` escapes. Glyphs land directly in source.
+- **Worktree:** commit locally. Never push. Never touch `main`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
+
+## APL-specific gotchas
+
+- **Right-to-left, no precedence among functions.** `2 × 3 + 4` is `2 × (3 + 4)` = 14, not 10. Operators bind tighter than functions: `+/ ⍳5` is `+/(⍳5)`, and `2 +.× 3 4` is `2 (+.×) 3 4`.
+- **Valence by position.** `-3` is monadic negate (`-` with no left arg). `5-3` is dyadic subtract. The parser must look left to decide. Same glyph; different fn.
+- **`¯` is part of a number literal**, not a prefix function. `¯3` is the literal negative three; `-3` is the function call. Tokenizer eats `¯` into the numeric token.
+- **Strands.** `1 2 3` is a 3-element vector, not three separate calls. Adjacent literals fuse into a strand at parse time. Adjacent names do *not* fuse — `a b c` is three separate references.
+- **Scalar promotion.** `1 + 2 3 4` ↦ `3 4 5`. Any scalar broadcasts against any-rank conformable shape.
+- **Conformability** = exactly matching shapes, OR one side scalar, OR (in some dialects) one side rank-1 cycling against rank-N. Keep strict in v1: matching shape or scalar only.
+- **`⍳` is overloaded.** Monadic `⍳N` = vector 1..N (or 0..N-1 if `⎕IO=0`). Dyadic `V ⍳ W` = first-index lookup, returns `≢V+1` for not-found.
+- **Reduce with `+/⍳0`** = `0` (identity for `+`). Each scalar primitive has a defined identity used by reduce-on-empty. Don't crash; return identity.
+- **Reduce direction.** `f/` reduces the *last* axis. `f⌿` reduces the *first*. Matters for matrices.
+- **Indexing is 1-based** by default (`⎕IO=1`). Do not silently translate to 0-based; respect `⎕IO`.
+- **Bracket indexing** `A[I]` is sugar for `I⌷A` (squad-quad). Multi-axis: `A[I;J]` is `I J⌷A` with semicolon-separated axes; `A[;J]` selects all of axis 0.
+- **Dfn `{...}`** — `⍺` = left arg (may be unbound for monadic call → check with `⍺←default`), `⍵` = right arg, `∇` = recurse. Default left arg syntax: `⍺←0`.
+- **Tradfn vs dfn** — tradfns use line-numbered `→linenum` for goto; dfns use guards `cond:expr`. Pick the right one for the user's syntax.
+- **Empty array** = rank-N array where some dim is 0. `0⍴⍳0` is empty rank-1. Scalar prototype matters for empty-array operations; ignore in v1, return 0/space.
+- **Test corpus:** custom + idioms. Place programs in `lib/apl/tests/programs/` with `.apl` extension.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr.
+- `type-of` on user fn returns `"lambda"`.
+- Shell heredoc `||` gets eaten — escape or use `case`.
+
+## Style
+
+- No comments in `.sx` unless non-obvious.
+- No new planning docs — update `plans/apl-on-sx.md` inline.
+- Short, factual commit messages (`apl: outer product ∘. (+9)`).

+
+## Common-Lisp-specific gotchas
+
+- **`handler-bind` is non-unwinding** — handlers can decline by returning normally, in which case `signal` keeps walking the chain. **`handler-case` is unwinding** — picking a handler aborts the protected form via a captured continuation. Don't conflate them.
+- **Restarts are not handlers.** `restart-case` establishes named *resumption points*; `signal` runs handler code with restarts visible; the handler chooses a restart by calling `invoke-restart`, which abandons handler stack and resumes at the restart point. Two stacks: handlers walk down, restarts wait to be invoked.
+- **`block` / `return-from`** is lexical. `block name … (return-from name v) …` captures `^k` once at entry; `return-from` invokes it. `return-from` to a name not in scope is an error (don't fall back to outer block).
+- **`tagbody` / `go`** — each tag in tagbody is a continuation; `go tag` invokes it. Tags are lexical, can only target tagbodies in scope.
+- **`unwind-protect`** runs cleanup on *any* non-local exit (return-from, throw, condition unwind). Implement as a scope frame fired by the cleanup machinery.
+- **Multiple values**: primary-value-only contexts (function args, `if` test, etc.) drop extras silently. `values` produces multiple. `multiple-value-bind` / `multiple-value-call` consume them. Don't auto-list.
+- **CLOS dispatch:** sort applicable methods by argument-list specificity (`subclassp` per arg, left-to-right); standard method combination calls primary methods most-specific-first via `call-next-method` chain. `:before` runs all before primaries; `:after` runs all after, in reverse-specificity. `:around` wraps everything.
+- **`call-next-method`** is a *continuation* available only inside a method body. Implement as a thunk stored in a dynamic-extent variable.
+- **Generalised reference (`setf`)**: `(setf (foo x) v)` ↦ `(setf-foo v x)`. Look up the setf-expander, not just a writer fn. `define-setf-expander` is mandatory for non-trivial places. Start with the symbolic / list / aref / slot-value cases.
+- **Dynamic variables (specials):** `defvar`/`defparameter` mark a symbol as special. `let` over a special name *rebinds* in dynamic extent (use parameterize-style scope), not lexical.
+- **Symbols are package-qualified.** Reader resolves `cl:car`, `mypkg::internal`, bare `foo` (current package). Internal vs external matters for `:` (one colon) reads.
+- **`nil` is also `()` is also the empty list.** Same object. `nil` is also false. CL has no distinct unit value.
+- **LOOP macro is huge.** Build incrementally — start with `for/in`, `for/from`, `collect`, `sum`, `count`, `repeat`. Add conditional clauses (`when`, `if`, `else`) once iteration drivers stable. `named` blocks + `return-from named` last.
+- **Test corpus:** custom + curated `ansi-test` slice. Place programs in `lib/common-lisp/tests/programs/` with `.lisp` extension.

+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
+
+## Ruby-specific gotchas
+
+- **Block `return` vs lambda `return`.** Inside a block `{ ... return v }`, `return` invokes the *enclosing method's* escape continuation (non-local return). Inside a lambda `->(){ ... return v }`, `return` returns from the *lambda*. Don't conflate. Implement: blocks bind their `^method-k`; lambdas bind their own `^lambda-k`.
+- **`break` from inside a block** invokes a different escape — the *iteration loop's* escape — and the loop returns the break-value. `next` is escape from current iteration, returns iteration value. `redo` re-enters current iteration without advancing.
+- **Proc arity is lax.** `proc { |a, b, c| … }.call(1, 2)` ↦ `c = nil`. Lambda is strict — same call raises ArgumentError. Check arity at call site for lambdas only.
+- **Block argument unpacking.** `[[1,2],[3,4]].each { |a, b| … }` — single Array arg auto-unpacks for blocks (not lambdas). One arg, one Array → unpack. Frequent footgun.
+- **Method dispatch chain order:** prepended modules → class methods → included modules → superclass → BasicObject → method_missing. `super` walks from the *defining* class's position, not the receiver class's.
+- **Singleton classes** are lazily allocated. Looking up the chain for an object passes through its singleton class first, then its actual class. `class << obj; …; end` opens the singleton.
+- **`method_missing`** — fallback when ancestor walk misses. Receives `(name_symbol, *args, &blk)`. Pair with `respond_to_missing?` for `respond_to?` to also report true. Do **not** swallow NoMethodError silently.
+- **Ivars are per-object dicts.** Reading an unset ivar yields `nil` and a warning (`-W`). Don't error.
+- **Constant lookup** is first lexical (Module.nesting), then inheritance (Module.ancestors of the innermost class). Different from method lookup.
+- **`Object#send`** invokes private and public methods alike; `Object#public_send` skips privates.
+- **Class reopening.** `class Foo; def bar; …; end; end` plus a later `class Foo; def baz; …; end; end` adds methods to the same class. Class table lookups must be by-name, mutable; methods dict is mutable.
+- **Fiber semantics.** `Fiber.new { |arg| … }` creates a fiber suspended at entry. First `Fiber.resume(v)` enters with `arg = v`. Inside, `Fiber.yield(w)` returns `w` to the resumer; the next `Fiber.resume(v')` returns `v'` to the yield site. End of block returns final value to last resumer; subsequent `Fiber.resume` raises FiberError.
+- **`Fiber.transfer`** is symmetric — either side can transfer to the other; no resume/yield asymmetry. Implement on top of the same continuation pair, just don't enforce direction.
+- **Symbols are interned.** `:foo == :foo` is identity. Use SX symbols.
+- **Strings are mutable.** `s = "abc"; s << "d"; s == "abcd"`. Hash keys can be strings; hash dups string keys at insertion to be safe (or freeze them).
+- **Truthiness:** only `false` and `nil` are falsy. `0`, `""`, `[]` are truthy.
+- **Test corpus:** custom + curated RubySpec slice. Place programs in `lib/ruby/tests/programs/` with `.rb` extension.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)

+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.

+
+## Prompt
+
+You are the sole background agent working `/root/rose-ash/plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md`. Isolated worktree, forever, one commit per feature. Never push.
+
+## Restart baseline — check before iterating
+
+1. Read `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md` — roadmap + Progress log.
+2. `ls lib/smalltalk/` — pick up from the most advanced file.
+3. If `lib/smalltalk/tests/*.sx` exist, run them. Green before new work.
+4. If `lib/smalltalk/scoreboard.md` exists, that's your baseline.
+
+## The queue
+
+Phase order per `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md`:
+
+- **Phase 1** — tokenizer + parser (chunk format, identifiers, keywords `foo:`, binary selectors, `#sym`, `#(…)`, `$c`, blocks `[:a | …]`, cascades, message precedence)
+- **Phase 2** — object model + sequential eval (class table bootstrap, message dispatch, `super`, `doesNotUnderstand:`, instance variables)
+- **Phase 3** — **THE SHOWCASE**: blocks with non-local return via captured method-return continuation. `whileTrue:` / `ifTrue:ifFalse:` as block sends. 5 classic programs (eight-queens, quicksort, mandelbrot, life, fibonacci) green.
+- **Phase 4** — reflection + MOP: `perform:`, `respondsTo:`, runtime method addition, `becomeForward:`, `Exception` / `on:do:` / `ensure:` on top of `handler-bind`/`raise`
+- **Phase 5** — collections + numeric tower + streams
+- **Phase 6** — port SUnit, vendor Pharo Kernel-Tests slice, drive corpus to 200+
+- **Phase 7** — speed (optional): inline caching, block intrinsification
+
+Within a phase, pick the checkbox that unlocks the most tests per effort.
+
+Every iteration: implement → test → commit → tick `[ ]` → Progress log → next.
+
+## Ground rules (hard)
+
+- **Scope:** only `lib/smalltalk/**` and `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root. Smalltalk primitives go in `lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`.
+- **NEVER call `sx_build`.** 600s watchdog. If sx_server binary broken → Blockers entry, stop.
+- **Shared-file issues** → plan's Blockers with minimal repro.
+- **Delimited continuations** are in `lib/callcc.sx` + `spec/evaluator.sx` Step 5. `sx_summarise` spec/evaluator.sx first — 2300+ lines.
+- **SX files:** `sx-tree` MCP tools ONLY. `sx_validate` after edits.
+- **Worktree:** commit locally. Never push. Never touch `main`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
+
+## Smalltalk-specific gotchas
+
+- **Method invocation captures `^k`** — the return continuation. Bind it as the block's escape token. `^expr` from inside any nested block invokes that captured `^k`. Escape past method return raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`.
+- **Blocks are lambdas + escape token**, not bare lambdas. `value`/`value:`/… invoke the lambda; `^` invokes the escape.
+- **`ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` / `whileTrue:` are ordinary block sends** — no special form. The runtime intrinsifies them in the JIT path (Tier 1 of bytecode expansion already covers this pattern).
+- **Cascade** `r m1; m2; m3` desugars to `(let ((tmp r)) (st-send tmp 'm1 ()) (st-send tmp 'm2 ()) (st-send tmp 'm3 ()))`. Result is the cascade's last send (or first, depending on parser variant — pick one and document).
+- **`super` send** looks up starting from the *defining* class's superclass, not the receiver class. Stash the defining class on the method record.
+- **Selectors are interned symbols.** Use SX symbols.
+- **Receiver dispatch:** tagged ints / floats / strings / symbols / `nil` / `true` / `false` aren't boxed. Their classes (`SmallInteger`, `Float`, `String`, `Symbol`, `UndefinedObject`, `True`, `False`) are looked up by SX type-of, not by an `:class` field.
+- **Method precedence:** unary > binary > keyword. `3 + 4 factorial` is `3 + (4 factorial)`. `a foo: b bar` is `a foo: (b bar)` (keyword absorbs trailing unary).
+- **Image / fileIn / become: between sessions** = out of scope. One-way `becomeForward:` only.
+- **Test corpus:** ~200 hand-written + a slice of Pharo Kernel-Tests. Place programs in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/`.
+
+## General gotchas (all loops)
+
+- SX `do` = R7RS iteration. Use `begin` for multi-expr sequences.
+- `cond`/`when`/`let` clauses evaluate only the last expr.
+- `type-of` on user fn returns `"lambda"`.
+- Shell heredoc `||` gets eaten — escape or use `case`.
+
+## Style
+
+- No comments in `.sx` unless non-obvious.
+- No new planning docs — update `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md` inline.
+- Short, factual commit messages (`smalltalk: tokenizer + 56 tests`).

+- **Phase 2** — sequential eval + core commands. `set`/`unset`/`incr`/`append`/`lappend`, `puts`/`gets`, `expr` (own mini-language), `if`/`while`/`for`/`foreach`/`switch`, string commands, list commands, dict commands
+- **Phase 3** — **THE SHOWCASE**: `proc` + `uplevel` + `upvar`. Frame stack with proc-call push/pop; `uplevel #N script` evaluates in caller's frame; `upvar` aliases names across frames. Classic programs (for-each-line, assert macro, with-temp-var) green

+
+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)

+- **Worktree:** commit, then push to `origin/loops/tcl`. Never touch `main`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
+
+## Tcl-specific gotchas
+
+- **Everything is a string.** Internally cache shimmer reps (list, dict, int, double) for performance, but every value must be re-stringifiable. Mutating one rep dirties the cached string and vice versa.
+- **The Dodekalogue is strict.** Substitution is **one-pass**, **left-to-right**. The result of a substitution is a value, not a script — it does NOT get re-parsed for further substitutions. This is what makes Tcl safe-by-default. Don't accidentally re-parse.
+- **Brace word `{…}`** is the only way to defer evaluation. No substitution inside, just balanced braces. Used for `if {expr}` body, `proc body`, `expr` arguments.
+- **Double-quote word `"…"`** is identical to a bare word for substitution purposes — it just allows whitespace in a single word. `\` escapes still apply.
+- **Comments are only at command position.** `# this is a comment` after a `;` or newline; *not* inside a command. `set x 1 # not a comment` is a 4-arg `set`.
+- **`expr` has its own grammar** — operator precedence, function calls — and does its own substitution. Brace `expr {$x + 1}` to avoid double-substitution and to enable bytecode caching.
+- **`if` and `while` re-parse** the condition only if not braced. Always use `if {…}`/`while {…}` form. The unbraced form re-substitutes per iteration.
+- **`return` from a `proc`** uses control code 2. `break` is 3, `continue` is 4. `error` is 1. `catch` traps any non-zero code; user can return non-zero with `return -code error -errorcode FOO message`.
+- **`uplevel #0 script`** is global frame. `uplevel 1 script` (or just `uplevel script`) is caller's frame. `uplevel #N` is absolute level N (0=global, 1=top-level proc, 2=proc-called-from-top, …). Negative levels are errors.
+- **`upvar #N otherVar localVar`** binds `localVar` in the current frame as an *alias* — both names refer to the same storage. Reads and writes go through the alias.
+- **`info level`** with no arg returns current level number. `info level N` (positive) returns the command list that invoked level N. `info level -N` returns the command list of the level N relative-up.
+- **Variable names with `(…)`** are array elements: `set arr(foo) 1`. Arrays are not first-class values — you can't `set x $arr`. `array get arr` gives a flat list `{key1 val1 key2 val2 …}`.
+- **List vs string.** `set l "a b c"` and `set l [list a b c]` look the same when printed but the second has a cached list rep. `lindex` works on both via shimmering. Most user code can't tell the difference.
+- **`incr x`** errors if x doesn't exist; pre-set with `set x 0` or use `incr x 0` first if you mean "create-or-increment". Or use `dict incr` for dicts.
+- **Coroutines are fibers.** `coroutine name body` starts a coroutine; calling `name` resumes it; `yield value` from inside suspends and returns `value` to the resumer. Same primitive as Ruby fibers — share the implementation under the hood.
+- **`switch`** matches first clause whose pattern matches. Default is `default`. Variant matches: glob (default), `-exact`, `-glob`, `-regexp`. Body `-` means "fall through to next clause's body".
+- **Test corpus:** custom + slice of Tcl's own tests. Place programs in `lib/tcl/tests/programs/` with `.tcl` extension.
+

+# APL-on-SX: rank-polymorphic primitives + glyph parser
+
+The headline showcase is **rank polymorphism** — a single primitive (`+`, `⌈`, `⊂`, `⍳`) works uniformly on scalars, vectors, matrices, and higher-rank arrays. ~80 glyph primitives + 6 operators bind together with right-to-left evaluation; the entire language is a high-density combinator algebra. The JIT compiler + primitive table pay off massively here because almost every program is `array → array` pure pipelines.
+
+End-state goal: Dyalog-flavoured APL subset, dfns + tradfns, classic programs (game-of-life, mandelbrot, prime-sieve, n-queens, conway), 100+ green tests.
+
+## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
+
+- **Syntax:** Dyalog APL surface, Unicode glyphs. `⎕`-quad system functions for I/O. `∇` tradfn header.
+- **Conformance:** "Reads like APL, runs like APL." Not byte-compat with Dyalog; we care about right-to-left semantics and rank polymorphism.
+- **Test corpus:** custom — APL idioms (Roger Hui style), classic programs, plus ~50 pattern tests for primitives.
+- **Out of scope:** ⎕-namespaces beyond a handful, complex numbers, full TAO ordering, `⎕FX` runtime function definition (use static `∇` only), nested-array-of-functions higher orders, the editor.
+- **Glyphs:** input via plain Unicode in `.apl` source files. Backtick-prefix shortcuts handled by the user's editor — we don't ship one.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/apl/**` and `plans/apl-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. APL primitives go in `lib/apl/runtime.sx`.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.
+
+## Architecture sketch

+APL source (Unicode glyphs)

+lib/apl/tokenizer.sx   — glyphs, identifiers, numbers (¯ for negative), strings, strands
+    │

+    │
+    ▼
+lib/apl/runtime.sx     — array model, ~80 primitives, 6 operators, dfns/tradfns
+```
+
+Core mapping:
+- **Array** = SX dict `{:shape (d1 d2 …) :ravel #(v1 v2 …)}`. Scalar is rank-0 (empty shape), vector is rank-1, matrix rank-2, etc. Type uniformity not required (heterogeneous nested arrays via "boxed" elements `⊂x`).
+- **Rank polymorphism** — every scalar primitive is broadcast: `1 2 3 + 4 5 6` ↦ `5 7 9`; `(2 3⍴⍳6) + 1` ↦ broadcast scalar to matrix.
+- **Conformability** = matching shapes, or one-side scalar, or rank-1 cycling (deferred — keep strict in v1).
+- **Valence** = each glyph has a monadic and a dyadic meaning; resolution is purely positional (left-arg present → dyadic).
+- **Operator** = takes one or two function operands, returns a derived function (`f¨` = `each f`, `f/` = `reduce f`, `f∘g` = `compose`, `f⍨` = `commute`).
+- **Tradfn** `∇R←L F R; locals` = named function with explicit header.
+- **Dfn** `{⍺+⍵}` = anonymous, `⍺` = left arg, `⍵` = right arg, `∇` = recurse.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
+- [ ] Tokenizer: Unicode glyphs (the full APL set: `+ - × ÷ * ⍟ ⌈ ⌊ | ! ? ○ ~ < ≤ = ≥ > ≠ ∊ ∧ ∨ ⍱ ⍲ , ⍪ ⍴ ⌽ ⊖ ⍉ ↑ ↓ ⊂ ⊃ ⊆ ∪ ∩ ⍳ ⍸ ⌷ ⍋ ⍒ ⊥ ⊤ ⊣ ⊢ ⍎ ⍕ ⍝`), operators (`/ \ ¨ ⍨ ∘ . ⍣ ⍤ ⍥ @`), numbers (`¯` for negative, `1E2`, `1J2` complex deferred), characters (`'a'`, `''` escape), strands (juxtaposition of literals: `1 2 3`), names, comments `⍝ …`

+- [ ] Scan `f\`, `f⍀`

+- [ ] Outer product `∘.f` — `1 2 3 ∘.× 1 2 3` ↦ multiplication table

+# Common-Lisp-on-SX: conditions + restarts on delimited continuations
+
+The headline showcase is the **condition system**. Restarts are *resumable* exceptions — every other Lisp implementation reinvents this on host-stack unwind tricks. On SX restarts are textbook delimited continuations: `signal` walks the handler chain; `invoke-restart` resumes the captured continuation at the restart point. Same delcc primitive that powers Erlang actors, expressed as a different surface.
+
+End-state goal: ANSI Common Lisp subset with a working condition/restart system, CLOS multimethods (with `:before`/`:after`/`:around`), the LOOP macro, packages, and ~150 hand-written + classic programs.
+
+## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
+
+- **Syntax:** ANSI Common Lisp surface. Read tables, dispatch macros (`#'`, `#(`, `#\`, `#:`, `#x`, `#b`, `#o`, ratios `1/3`).
+- **Conformance:** ANSI X3.226 *as a target*, not bug-for-bug SBCL/CCL. "Reads like CL, runs like CL."
+- **Test corpus:** custom + a curated slice of `ansi-test`. Plus classic programs: condition-system demo, restart-driven debugger, multiple-dispatch geometry, LOOP corpus.
+- **Out of scope:** compilation to native, FFI, sockets, threads, MOP class redefinition, full pathname/logical-pathname machinery, structures with `:include` deep customization.
+- **Packages:** simple — `defpackage`/`in-package`/`export`/`use-package`/`:cl`/`:cl-user`. No nicknames, no shadowing-import edge cases.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/common-lisp/**` and `plans/common-lisp-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. CL primitives go in `lib/common-lisp/runtime.sx`.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.

+```
+
+Core mapping:
+- **Symbol** = SX symbol with package prefix; package table is a flat dict.
+- **Cons cell** = SX pair via `cons`/`car`/`cdr`; lists native.
+- **Multiple values** = thread through `values`/`multiple-value-bind`; primary-value default for one-context callers.
+- **Block / return-from** = captured continuation; `return-from name v` invokes the block-named `^k`.
+- **Tagbody / go** = each tag is a continuation; `go tag` invokes it.
+- **Unwind-protect** = scope frame with a cleanup thunk fired on any non-local exit.
+- **Conditions / restarts** = layered handler chain on top of `handler-bind` + delcc. `signal` walks handlers; `invoke-restart` resumes a captured continuation.
+- **CLOS** = generic functions are dispatch tables on argument-class lists; method combination computed lazily; `call-next-method` is a continuation.
+- **Macros** = SX macros (sentinel-body) — defmacro lowers directly.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — reader + parser
+- [ ] Tokenizer: symbols (with package qualification `pkg:sym` / `pkg::sym`), numbers (int, float, ratio `1/3`, `#xFF`, `#b1010`, `#o17`), strings `"…"` with `\` escapes, characters `#\Space` `#\Newline` `#\a`, comments `;`, block comments `#| … |#`
+- [ ] Reader: list, dotted pair, quote `'`, function `#'`, quasiquote `` ` ``, unquote `,`, splice `,@`, vector `#(…)`, uninterned `#:foo`, nil/t literals
+- [ ] Parser: lambda lists with `&optional` `&rest` `&key` `&aux` `&allow-other-keys`, defaults, supplied-p variables
+- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/common-lisp/tests/read.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — sequential eval + special forms
+- [ ] `cl-eval-ast`: `quote`, `if`, `progn`, `let`, `let*`, `flet`, `labels`, `setq`, `setf` (subset), `function`, `lambda`, `the`, `locally`, `eval-when`
+- [ ] `block` + `return-from` via captured continuation
+- [ ] `tagbody` + `go` via per-tag continuations
+- [ ] `unwind-protect` cleanup frame
+- [ ] `multiple-value-bind`, `multiple-value-call`, `multiple-value-prog1`, `values`, `nth-value`
+- [ ] `defun`, `defparameter`, `defvar`, `defconstant`, `declaim`, `proclaim` (no-op)
+- [ ] Dynamic variables — `defvar`/`defparameter` produce specials; `let` rebinds via parameterize-style scope
+- [ ] 60+ tests in `lib/common-lisp/tests/eval.sx`
+

+# HS conformance — blockers drain
+
+Goal: take hyperscript conformance from **1277/1496 (85.4%)** to **1496/1496 (100%)** by clearing the blocked clusters and the design-done Bucket E subsystems.
+
+This plan exists because the per-iteration `loops/hs` agent can't fit these into its 30-min budget — they need dedicated multi-commit sit-downs. Track progress here; refer to `plans/hs-conformance-to-100.md` for the canonical cluster ledger.
+
+## Current state (2026-04-25)
+
+- Loop running in `/root/rose-ash-loops/hs` (branch `loops/hs`)
+- sx-tree MCP **fixed** (was a session-stale binary issue — restart of claude in the tmux window picked it up). Loop hinted to retry **#32**, **#29** first.
+- Recent loop progress: ~1 commit/6h — easy wins drained, what's left needs focused attention.
+
+## Remaining work
+
+### Bucket-A/B/C blockers (small, in-place fixes)
+
+| # | Cluster | Tests | Effort | Blocker | Fix sketch |
+|---|---------|------:|--------|---------|------------|
+| **17** | `tell` semantics | +3 | ~1h | Implicit-default-target ambiguity. `bare add .bar` inside `tell X` should target `X` but explicit `to me` must reach the original element. | Add `beingTold` symbol distinct from `me`; bare commands compile to `beingTold-or-me`; explicit `me` always the original. |
+| **22** | window global fn fallback | +2-4 | ~1h | `foo()` where `foo` isn't SX-defined needs to fall back to `(host-global "foo")`. Three attempts failed: guard (host-level error not catchable), `env-has?` (not in HS kernel), `hs-win-call` (NativeFn not callable from CALL). | Add `symbol-bound?` predicate to HS kernel **OR** a host-call-fn primitive with arity-agnostic dispatch. |
+| **29** | `hyperscript:before:init` / `:after:init` / `:parse-error` events | +4-6 | ~30m (post sx-tree fix) | Was sx-tree MCP outage. Now unblocked — loop should retry. 4 of 6 tests need stricter parser error-rejection (out of scope; mark partial). | Edit `integration.sx` to fire DOM events at activation boundaries. |
+
+### Bucket D — medium features
+
+| # | Cluster | Tests | Effort | Status |
+|---|---------|------:|--------|--------|
+| **31** | runtime null-safety error reporting | **+15-18** | **2-4h** | **THIS SESSION'S TARGET.** Plan node fully spec'd: 5 pieces of work. |
+| **32** | MutationObserver mock + `on mutation` | +10-15 | ~2h | Was sx-tree-blocked. Now unblocked — loop hinted to retry. Multi-file: parser, compiler, runtime, runner mock, generator skip-list. |
+| **33** | cookie API | +2 (remaining) | ~30m | Partial done (+3). Remaining 2 need `hs-method-call` runtime fallback for unknown methods + `hs-for-each` recognising host-array/proxy collections. |
+| 34 | event modifier DSL | +6-8 | ~1-2h | `elsewhere`, `every`, count filters (`once`/`twice`/`3 times`/ranges), `from elsewhere`. Pending. |
+| 35 | namespaced `def` | +3 | ~30m | Pending. |
+
+### Bucket E — subsystems (design docs landed, multi-commit each)
+
+Each has a design doc with a step-by-step checklist. These are 1-2 days of focused work each, not loop-fits.
+
+| # | Subsystem | Tests | Design doc | Branch |
+|---|-----------|------:|------------|--------|
+| 36 | WebSocket + `socket` + RPC Proxy | +12-16 | `plans/designs/e36-websocket.md` | `worktree-agent-a9daf73703f520257` |
+| 37 | Tokenizer-as-API | +16-17 | `plans/designs/e37-tokenizer-api.md` | `worktree-agent-a6bb61d59cc0be8b4` |
+| 38 | SourceInfo API | +4 | `plans/designs/e38-sourceinfo.md` | `agent-e38-sourceinfo` |
+| 39 | WebWorker plugin (parser-only stub) | +1 | `plans/designs/e39-webworker.md` | `hs-design-e39-webworker` |
+| 40 | Real Fetch / non-2xx / before-fetch | +7 | `plans/designs/e40-real-fetch.md` | `worktree-agent-a94612a4283eaa5e0` |
+
+### Bucket F — generator translation gaps
+
+~25 tests SKIP'd because `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py` bails with `return None`. Single dedicated generator-repair sit-down once Bucket D is drained. ~half-day.
+
+## Order of attack
+
+In approximate cost-per-test order:
+
+1. **Loop self-heal** (no human work) — wait for #29, #32 to land via the running loop ⏱️ ~next 1-2 hours
+2. **#31 null-safety** — biggest scoped single win, dedicated worktree agent (this session)
+3. **#33 cookie API remainder** — quick partial completion
+4. **#17 / #22 / #34 / #35** — small fiddly fixes, one sit-down each
+5. **Bucket E** — pick one subsystem at a time. **#39 (WebWorker stub) first** — single commit, smallest. Then **#38 (SourceInfo)** — 4 commits. Then the bigger three (#36, #37, #40).
+6. **Bucket F** — generator repair sweep at the end.
+
+Estimated total to 100%: ~10-15 days of focused work, parallelisable across branches.
+
+## Cluster #31 spec (full detail)
+
+The plan note from `hs-conformance-to-100.md`:
+
+> 18 tests in `runtimeErrors`. When accessing `.foo` on nil, emit a structured error with position info. One coordinated fix in the compiler emit paths for property access, function calls, set/put.
+
+**Required pieces:**
+
+1. **Generator-side `eval-hs-error` helper + recognizer** for `expect(await error("HS")).toBe("MSG")` blocks. In `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py`.
+2. **Runtime helpers** in `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx`:
+   - `hs-null-error!` raising `'<sel>' is null`
+   - `hs-named-target` — wraps a query result with the original selector source
+   - `hs-named-target-list` — same for list results
+3. **Compiler patches at every target-position `(query SEL)` emit** — wrap in named-target carrying the original selector source. ~17 command emit paths in `lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx`:
+   add, remove, hide, show, measure, settle, trigger, send, set, default, increment, decrement, put, toggle, transition, append, take.
+4. **Function-call null-check** at bare `(name)`, `hs-method-call`, and `host-get` chains, deriving the leftmost-uncalled-name (`'x'` / `'x.y'`) from the parse tree.
+5. **Possessive-base null-check** (`set x's y to true` → `'x' is null`).
+
+**Files in scope:**
+- `lib/hyperscript/runtime.sx` (new helpers)
+- `lib/hyperscript/compiler.sx` (~17 emit-path edits)
+- `tests/playwright/generate-sx-tests.py` (test recognizer)
+- `tests/hs-run-filtered.js` (if mock helpers needed)
+- `shared/static/wasm/sx/hs-runtime.sx` + `hs-compiler.sx` (WASM staging copies)
+
+**Approach:** target-named pieces incrementally — runtime helpers first (no compiler change), then compiler emit paths in batches (group similar commands), then function-call/possessive at the end. Each batch is one commit if it lands +N tests; mark partial if it only unlocks part.
+
+**Watch for:** smoke-range regressions (tests flipping pass→fail). Each commit: rerun smoke 0-195 and the `runtimeErrors` suite.
+
+## Notes for future sessions
+
+- `plans/hs-conformance-to-100.md` is the canonical cluster ledger — update it on every commit.
+- `plans/hs-conformance-scoreboard.md` is the live tally — bump `Merged:` and the bucket roll-up.
+- Loop has scope rule "never edit `spec/evaluator.sx` or broader SX kernel" — most fixes here stay in `lib/hyperscript/**`, `tests/`, generator. If a fix needs kernel work, surface to the user; don't merge silently.
+- Cluster #22's `symbol-bound?` predicate would be a kernel addition — that's a real cross-boundary scope expansion.

+# Ruby-on-SX: fibers + blocks + open classes on delimited continuations
+
+The headline showcase is **fibers** — Ruby's `Fiber.new { … Fiber.yield v … }` / `Fiber.resume` are textbook delimited continuations with sugar. MRI implements them by swapping C stacks; on SX they fall out of the existing `perform`/`cek-resume` machinery for free. Plus blocks/yield (lexical escape continuations, same shape as Smalltalk's non-local return), method_missing, and singleton classes.
+
+End-state goal: Ruby 2.7-flavoured subset, Enumerable mixin, fibers + threads-via-fibers (no real OS threads), method_missing-driven DSLs, ~150 hand-written + classic programs.
+
+## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
+
+- **Syntax:** Ruby 2.7. No 3.x pattern matching, no rightward assignment, no endless methods. We pick 2.7 because it's the biggest semantic surface that still parses cleanly.
+- **Conformance:** "Reads like Ruby, runs like Ruby." Slice of RubySpec (Core + Library subset), not full RubySpec.
+- **Test corpus:** custom + curated RubySpec slice. Plus classic programs: fiber-based generator, internal DSL with method_missing, mixin-based Enumerable on a custom class.
+- **Out of scope:** real threads, GIL, refinements, `binding_of_caller` from non-Ruby contexts, Encoding object beyond UTF-8/ASCII-8BIT, RubyVM::* introspection beyond bytecode-disassembly placeholder, IO subsystem beyond `puts`/`gets`/`File.read`.
+- **Symbols:** SX symbols. Strings are mutable copies; symbols are interned.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/ruby/**` and `plans/ruby-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. Ruby primitives go in `lib/ruby/runtime.sx`.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.

+
+Core mapping:
+- **Object** = SX dict `{:class :ivars :singleton-class?}`. Instance variables live in `ivars` keyed by symbol.
+- **Class** = SX dict `{:name :superclass :methods :class-methods :metaclass :includes :prepends}`. Class table is flat.
+- **Method dispatch** = lookup walks ancestor chain (prepended → class → included modules → superclass → …). Falls back to `method_missing` with a `Symbol`+args.
+- **Block** = lambda + escape continuation. `yield` invokes the block in current context. `return` from within a block invokes the enclosing-method's escape continuation.
+- **Proc** = lambda without strict arity. `Proc.new` + `proc {}`.
+- **Lambda** = lambda with strict arity + `return`-returns-from-lambda semantics.
+- **Fiber** = pair of continuations (resume-k, yield-k) wrapped in a record. `Fiber.new { … }` builds it; `Fiber.resume` invokes the resume-k; `Fiber.yield` invokes the yield-k. Built directly on `perform`/`cek-resume`.
+- **Module** = class without instance allocation. `include` puts it in the chain; `prepend` puts it earlier; `extend` puts it on the singleton.
+- **Singleton class** = lazily allocated per-object class for `def obj.foo` definitions.
+- **Symbol** = interned SX symbol. `:foo` reads as `(quote foo)` flavour.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
+- [ ] Tokenizer: keywords (`def end class module if unless while until do return yield begin rescue ensure case when then else elsif`), identifiers (lowercase = local/method, `@` = ivar, `@@` = cvar, `$` = global, uppercase = constant), numbers (int, float, `0x` `0o` `0b`, `_` separators), strings (`"…"` interpolation, `'…'` literal, `%w[a b c]`, `%i[a b c]`), symbols `:foo` `:"…"`, operators (`+ - * / % ** == != < > <= >= <=> === =~ !~ << >> & | ^ ~ ! && || and or not`), `:: . , ; ( ) [ ] { } -> => |`, comments `#`
+- [ ] Parser: program is sequence of statements separated by newlines or `;`; method def `def name(args) … end`; class `class Foo < Bar … end`; module `module M … end`; block `do |a, b| … end` and `{ |a, b| … }`; call sugar (no parens), `obj.method`, `Mod::Const`; arg shapes (positional, default, splat `*args`, double-splat `**opts`, block `&blk`)
+- [ ] If/while/case expressions (return values), `unless`/`until`, postfix modifiers
+- [ ] Begin/rescue/ensure/retry, raise, raise with class+message
+- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/ruby/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — object model + sequential eval
+- [ ] Class table bootstrap: `BasicObject`, `Object`, `Kernel`, `Module`, `Class`, `Numeric`, `Integer`, `Float`, `String`, `Symbol`, `Array`, `Hash`, `Range`, `NilClass`, `TrueClass`, `FalseClass`, `Proc`, `Method`
+- [ ] `rb-eval-ast`: literals, variables (local, ivar, cvar, gvar, constant), assignment (single and parallel `a, b = 1, 2`, splat receive), method call, message dispatch
+- [ ] Method lookup walks ancestor chain; cache hit-class per `(class, selector)`
+- [ ] `method_missing` fallback constructing args list
+- [ ] `super` and `super(args)` — lookup in defining class's superclass
+- [ ] Singleton class allocation on first `def obj.foo` or `class << obj`
+- [ ] `nil`, `true`, `false` are singletons of their classes; tagged values aren't boxed
+- [ ] Constant lookup (lexical-then-inheritance) with `Module.nesting`
+- [ ] 60+ tests in `lib/ruby/tests/eval.sx`
+
+### Phase 3 — blocks + procs + lambdas
+- [ ] Method invocation captures escape continuation `^k` for `return`; binds it as block's escape
+- [ ] `yield` invokes implicit block
+- [ ] `block_given?`, `&blk` parameter, `&proc` arg unpacking
+- [ ] `Proc.new`, `proc { }`, `lambda { }` (or `->(x) { x }`)
+- [ ] Lambda strict arity + lambda-local `return` semantics
+- [ ] Proc lax arity (`a, b, c` unpacks Array; missing args nil)
+- [ ] `break`, `next`, `redo` — `break` is escape-from-loop-or-block; `next` is escape-from-block-iteration; `redo` re-runs current iteration
+- [ ] 30+ tests in `lib/ruby/tests/blocks.sx`
+
+### Phase 4 — fibers (THE SHOWCASE)
+- [ ] `Fiber.new { |arg| … Fiber.yield v … }` allocates a fiber record with paired continuations
+- [ ] `Fiber.resume(args…)` resumes the fiber, returning the value passed to `Fiber.yield`
+- [ ] `Fiber.yield(v)` from inside the fiber suspends and returns control to the resumer
+- [ ] `Fiber.current` from inside the fiber
+- [ ] `Fiber#alive?`, `Fiber#raise` (deferred)
+- [ ] `Fiber.transfer` — symmetric coroutines (resume from any side)
+- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/ruby/tests/programs/`:
+  - [ ] `generator.rb` — pull-style infinite enumerator built on fibers
+  - [ ] `producer-consumer.rb` — bounded buffer with `Fiber.transfer`
+  - [ ] `tree-walk.rb` — recursive tree walker that yields each node, driven by `Fiber.resume`
+- [ ] `lib/ruby/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
+
+### Phase 5 — modules + mixins + metaprogramming
+- [ ] `include M` — appends M's methods after class methods in chain
+- [ ] `prepend M` — prepends M before class methods
+- [ ] `extend M` — adds M to singleton class
+- [ ] `Module#ancestors`, `Module#included_modules`
+- [ ] `define_method`, `class_eval`, `instance_eval`, `module_eval`
+- [ ] `respond_to?`, `respond_to_missing?`, `method_missing`
+- [ ] `Object#send`, `Object#public_send`, `Object#__send__`
+- [ ] `Module#method_added`, `singleton_method_added` hooks
+- [ ] Hooks: `included`, `extended`, `inherited`, `prepended`
+- [ ] Internal-DSL classic program: `lib/ruby/tests/programs/dsl.rb`
+
+### Phase 6 — stdlib drive
+- [ ] `Enumerable` mixin: `each` (abstract), `map`, `select`/`filter`, `reject`, `reduce`/`inject`, `each_with_index`, `each_with_object`, `take`, `drop`, `take_while`, `drop_while`, `find`/`detect`, `find_index`, `any?`, `all?`, `none?`, `one?`, `count`, `min`, `max`, `min_by`, `max_by`, `sort`, `sort_by`, `group_by`, `partition`, `chunk`, `each_cons`, `each_slice`, `flat_map`, `lazy`
+- [ ] `Comparable` mixin: `<=>`, `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `==`, `between?`, `clamp`
+- [ ] `Array`: indexing, slicing, `push`/`pop`/`shift`/`unshift`, `concat`, `flatten`, `compact`, `uniq`, `sort`, `reverse`, `zip`, `dig`, `pack`/`unpack` (deferred)
+- [ ] `Hash`: `[]`, `[]=`, `delete`, `merge`, `each_pair`, `keys`, `values`, `to_a`, `dig`, `fetch`, default values, default proc
+- [ ] `Range`: `each`, `step`, `cover?`, `include?`, `size`, `min`, `max`
+- [ ] `String`: indexing, slicing, `split`, `gsub` (string-arg version, regex deferred), `sub`, `upcase`, `downcase`, `strip`, `chomp`, `chars`, `bytes`, `to_i`, `to_f`, `to_sym`, `*`, `+`, `<<`, format with `%`
+- [ ] `Integer`: `times`, `upto`, `downto`, `step`, `digits`, `gcd`, `lcm`
+- [ ] Drive corpus to 200+ green

+# Smalltalk-on-SX: blocks with non-local return on delimited continuations
+
+The headline showcase is **blocks** — Smalltalk's closures with non-local return (`^expr` aborts the enclosing *method*, not the block). Every other Smalltalk on top of a host VM (RSqueak on PyPy, GemStone on C, Maxine on Java) reinvents non-local return on whatever stack discipline the host gives them. On SX it's a one-liner: a block holds a captured continuation; `^` just invokes it. Message-passing OO falls out cheaply on top of the existing component / dispatch machinery.
+
+End-state goal: ANSI-ish Smalltalk-80 subset, SUnit working, ~200 hand-written tests + a vendored slice of the Pharo kernel tests, classic corpus (eight queens, quicksort, mandelbrot, Conway's Life).
+
+## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
+
+- **Syntax:** Pharo / Squeak chunk format (`!` separators, `Object subclass: #Foo …`). No fileIn/fileOut images — text source only.
+- **Conformance:** ANSI X3J20 *as a target*, not bug-for-bug Squeak. "Reads like Smalltalk, runs like Smalltalk."
+- **Test corpus:** SUnit ported to SX-Smalltalk + custom programs + a curated slice of Pharo `Kernel-Tests` / `Collections-Tests`.
+- **Image:** out of scope. Source-only. No `become:` between sessions, no snapshotting.
+- **Reflection:** `class`, `respondsTo:`, `perform:`, `doesNotUnderstand:` in. `become:` (object-identity swap) **in** — it's a good CEK exercise. Method modification at runtime in.
+- **GUI / Morphic / threads:** out entirely.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/smalltalk/**` and `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. Smalltalk primitives go in `lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.

+Core mapping:
+- **Class** = SX dict `{:name :superclass :ivars :methods :class-methods :metaclass}`. Class table is a flat dict keyed by class name.
+- **Object** = SX dict `{:class :ivars}` — `ivars` keyed by symbol. Tagged ints / floats / strings / symbols are not boxed; their class is looked up by SX type.
+- **Method** = SX lambda closing over a `self` binding + temps. Body wrapped in a delimited continuation so `^` can escape.
+- **Message send** = `(st-send receiver selector args)` — does class-table lookup, walks superclass chain, falls back to `doesNotUnderstand:` with a `Message` object.
+- **Block** `[:x | … ^v … ]` = lambda + captured `^k` (the method-return continuation). Invoking `^` calls `k`; outer block invocation past method return raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`.
+- **Cascade** `r m1; m2; m3` = `(let ((tmp r)) (st-send tmp 'm1 ()) (st-send tmp 'm2 ()) (st-send tmp 'm3 ()))`.
+- **`ifTrue:ifFalse:` / `whileTrue:`** = ordinary block sends; the runtime intrinsifies them in the JIT path so they compile to native branches (Tier 1 of bytecode expansion already covers this pattern).
+- **`become:`** = swap two object identities everywhere — in SX this is a heap walk, but we restrict to `oneWayBecome:` (cheap: rewrite class field) by default.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
+- [ ] Tokenizer: identifiers, keywords (`foo:`), binary selectors (`+`, `==`, `,`, `->`, `~=` etc.), numbers (radix `16r1F`, scaled `1.5s2`), strings `'…''…'`, characters `$c`, symbols `#foo` `#'foo bar'` `#+`, byte arrays `#[1 2 3]`, literal arrays `#(1 #foo 'x')`, comments `"…"`
+- [ ] Parser: chunk format (`! !` separators), class definitions (`Object subclass: #X instanceVariableNames: '…' classVariableNames: '…' …`), method definitions (`extend: #Foo with: 'bar ^self'`), pragmas `<primitive: 1>`, blocks `[:a :b | | t1 t2 | …]`, cascades, message precedence (unary > binary > keyword)
+- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`
+

+# Tcl-on-SX: uplevel/upvar = stack-walking delcc, everything-is-a-string
+
+The headline showcase is **uplevel/upvar** — Tcl's superpower for defining your own control structures. `uplevel` evaluates a script in the *caller's* stack frame; `upvar` aliases a variable in the caller. On a normal language host this requires deep VM cooperation; on SX it falls out of the env-chain made first-class via captured continuations. Plus the *Dodekalogue* (12 rules), command-substitution everywhere, and "everything is a string" homoiconicity.
+
+End-state goal: Tcl 8.6-flavoured subset, the Dodekalogue parser, namespaces, `try`/`catch`/`return -code`, `coroutine` (built on fibers), classic programs that show off uplevel-driven DSLs, ~150 hand-written tests.
+
+## Scope decisions (defaults — override by editing before we spawn)
+
+- **Syntax:** Tcl 8.6 surface. The 12-rule Dodekalogue. Brace-quoted scripts deferred-evaluate; double-quoted ones substitute.
+- **Conformance:** "Reads like Tcl, runs like Tcl." Slice of Tcl's own test suite, not full TCT.
+- **Test corpus:** custom + curated `tcl-tests/` slice. Plus classic programs: define-your-own `for-each-line`, expression-language compiler-in-Tcl, fiber-based event loop.
+- **Out of scope:** Tk, sockets beyond a stub, threads (mapped to `coroutine` only), `package require` of binary loadables, `dde`/`registry` Windows shims, full `clock format` locale support.
+- **Channels:** `puts` and `gets` on `stdout`/`stdin`/`stderr`; `open` on regular files; no async I/O beyond what `coroutine` gives.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- **Scope:** only touch `lib/tcl/**` and `plans/tcl-on-sx.md`. Don't edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, or any other `lib/<lang>/**`. Tcl primitives go in `lib/tcl/runtime.sx`.
+- **SX files:** use `sx-tree` MCP tools only.
+- **Commits:** one feature per commit. Keep `## Progress log` updated and tick roadmap boxes.
+
+## Architecture sketch
+
+```
+Tcl source
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/tcl/tokenizer.sx   — the Dodekalogue: words, [..], ${..}, "..", {..}, ;, \n, \, #
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/tcl/parser.sx      — list-of-words AST (script = list of commands; command = list of words)
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/tcl/transpile.sx   — AST → SX AST (entry: tcl-eval-script)
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/tcl/runtime.sx     — env stack, command table, uplevel/upvar, coroutines, BIFs
+```
+
+Core mapping:
+- **Value** = string. Internally we cache a "shimmer" representation (list, dict, integer, double) for performance, but every value can be re-stringified.
+- **Variable** = entry in current frame's env. Frames form a stack; level-0 is the global frame.
+- **Command** = entry in command table; first word of any list dispatches into it. User-defined via `proc`. Built-ins are SX functions registered in the table.
+- **Frame** = `{:locals (dict) :level n :parent frame}`. Each `proc` call pushes a frame; commands run in current frame.
+- **`uplevel #N script`** = walk frame chain to absolute level N (or relative if no `#`); evaluate script in that frame's env.
+- **`upvar [#N] varname localname`** = bind `localname` in the current frame as an alias to `varname` in the level-N frame (env-chain delegate).
+- **`return -code N`** = control flow as integers: 0=ok, 1=error, 2=return, 3=break, 4=continue. `catch` traps any non-zero; `try` adds named handlers.
+- **`coroutine`** = fiber on top of `perform`/`cek-resume`. `yield`/`yieldto` suspend; calling the coroutine command resumes.
+- **List / dict** = list-shaped string ("element1 element2 …") with a cached parsed form. Modifications dirty the string cache.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser (the Dodekalogue)
+- [x] Tokenizer applying the 12 rules:
+  1. Commands separated by `;` or newlines
+  2. Words separated by whitespace within a command
+  3. Double-quoted words: `\` escapes + `[…]` + `${…}` + `$var` substitution
+  4. Brace-quoted words: literal, no substitution; brace count must balance
+  5. Argument expansion: `{*}list`
+  6. Command substitution: `[script]` evaluates script, takes its return value
+  7. Variable substitution: `$name`, `${name}`, `$arr(idx)`, `$arr($i)`
+  8. Backslash substitution: `\n`, `\t`, `\\`, `\xNN`, `\uNNNN`, `\<newline>` continues
+  9. Comments: `#` only at the start of a command
+  10. Order of substitution is left-to-right, single-pass
+  11. Substitutions don't recurse — substituted text is not re-parsed
+  12. The result of any substitution is the value, not a new script
+- [x] Parser: script = list of commands; command = list of words; word = literal string + list of substitutions
+- [x] Unit tests in `lib/tcl/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — sequential eval + core commands
+- [x] `tcl-eval-script`: walk command list, dispatch each first-word into command table
+- [x] Core commands: `set`, `unset`, `incr`, `append`, `lappend`, `puts`, `gets`, `expr`, `if`, `while`, `for`, `foreach`, `switch`, `break`, `continue`, `return`, `error`, `eval`, `subst`, `format`, `scan`
+- [x] `expr` is its own mini-language — operator precedence, function calls (`sin`, `sqrt`, `pow`, `abs`, `int`, `double`), variable substitution, command substitution
+- [x] String commands: `string length`, `string index`, `string range`, `string compare`, `string match`, `string toupper`, `string tolower`, `string trim`, `string map`, `string repeat`, `string first`, `string last`, `string is`, `string cat`
+- [x] List commands: `list`, `lindex`, `lrange`, `llength`, `lreverse`, `lsearch`, `lsort`, `lsort -integer/-real/-dictionary`, `lreplace`, `linsert`, `concat`, `split`, `join`
+- [x] Dict commands: `dict create`, `dict get`, `dict set`, `dict unset`, `dict exists`, `dict keys`, `dict values`, `dict size`, `dict for`, `dict update`, `dict merge`
+- [x] 60+ tests in `lib/tcl/tests/eval.sx`
+
+### Phase 3 — proc + uplevel + upvar (THE SHOWCASE)
+- [x] `proc name args body` — register user-defined command; args supports defaults `{name default}` and rest `args`
+- [x] Frame stack: each proc call pushes a frame with locals dict; pop on return
+- [x] `uplevel ?level? script` — evaluate `script` in level-N frame's env; default level is 1 (caller). `#0` is global, `#1` is relative-1
+- [x] `upvar ?level? otherVar localVar ?…?` — alias localVar to a variable in level-N frame; reads/writes go through the alias
+- [x] `info level`, `info level N`, `info frame`, `info vars`, `info locals`, `info globals`, `info commands`, `info procs`, `info args`, `info body`
+- [x] `global var ?…?` — alias to global frame (sugar for `upvar #0 var var`)
+- [x] `variable name ?value?` — namespace-scoped global
+- [x] Classic programs in `lib/tcl/tests/programs/`:
+  - [x] `for-each-line.tcl` — define your own loop construct using `uplevel`
+  - [x] `assert.tcl` — assertion macro that reports caller's line
+  - [x] `with-temp-var.tcl` — scoped variable rebind via `upvar`
+- [x] `lib/tcl/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
+
+### Phase 4 — control flow + error handling
+- [x] `return -code (ok|error|return|break|continue|N) -errorinfo … -errorcode … -level N value`
+- [x] `catch script ?resultVar? ?optionsVar?` — runs script, returns code; sets resultVar to return value/message; optionsVar to the dict
+- [x] `try script ?on code var body ...? ?trap pattern var body...? ?finally body?`
+- [x] `throw type message`
+- [x] `error message ?info? ?code?`
+- [x] Stack-trace with `errorInfo` / `errorCode`
+- [x] 30+ tests in `lib/tcl/tests/error.sx`
+
+### Phase 5 — namespaces + ensembles
+- [x] `namespace eval ns body`, `namespace current`, `namespace which`, `namespace import`, `namespace export`, `namespace forget`, `namespace delete`
+- [x] Qualified names: `::ns::cmd`, `::ns::var`
+- [x] Ensembles: `namespace ensemble create -map { sub1 cmd1 sub2 cmd2 }`
+- [x] `namespace path` for resolution chain
+- [x] `proc` and `variable` work inside namespaces
+
+### Phase 6 — coroutines + drive corpus
+- [x] `coroutine name cmd ?args…?` — start a coroutine; future calls to `name` resume it
+- [x] `yield ?value?` — suspend, return value to resumer
+- [x] `yieldto cmd ?args…?` — symmetric transfer
+- [x] `coroutine` semantics built on fibers (same delcc primitive as Ruby fibers)
+- [x] Classic programs: `event-loop.tcl` — cooperative scheduler with multiple coroutines
+- [x] System: `clock seconds`, `clock format`, `clock scan` (subset)
+- [x] File I/O: `open`, `close`, `read`, `gets`, `puts -nonewline`, `flush`, `eof`, `seek`, `tell`
+- [x] Drive corpus to 150+ green
+- [x] Idiom corpus — `lib/tcl/tests/idioms.sx` covering classic Welch/Jones idioms
