+| N (processes) | Hops | Wall-clock | Throughput |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 10 | 10 | 907ms | 11 hops/s |
+| 50 | 50 | 2107ms | 24 hops/s |
+| 100 | 100 | 3827ms | 26 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.
