+## Notes
+
+- The spec interpreter is correct but slow (call/cc + dict-based ivars per send).
+- Larger Life multi-step verification, the 8-queens canonical case, and the glider-gun pattern are deferred to the JIT path.
+- Generated by `bash lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh`. Both files are committed; the runner overwrites them on each run.

+;; Provides:

+;; Conventions:

+# smalltalk-on-sx loop agent (single agent, queue-driven)
+
+Role: iterates `plans/smalltalk-on-sx.md` forever. Message-passing OO + **blocks with non-local return** on delimited continuations. Non-local return is the headline showcase — every other Smalltalk reinvents it on the host stack; on SX it falls out of the captured method-return continuation.
+
+```
+description: smalltalk-on-sx queue loop
+subagent_type: general-purpose
+run_in_background: true
+isolation: worktree
+```
+
+## 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.

+## 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`.

+# 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.
+
+## Architecture sketch
+
+```
+Smalltalk source
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/tokenizer.sx  — selectors, keywords, literals, $c, #sym, #(…), $'…'
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/parser.sx     — AST: classes, methods, blocks, cascades, sends
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/transpile.sx  — AST → SX AST (entry: smalltalk-eval-ast)
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx    — class table, MOP, dispatch, primitives
+```
+
+Core mapping:
+- **Class** = SX dict `{:name :superclass :ivars :methods :class-methods :metaclass}`. Class table is a flat dict keyed by class name.
+- **Object** = SX dict `{:class :ivars}` — `ivars` keyed by symbol. Tagged ints / floats / strings / symbols are not boxed; their class is looked up by SX type.
+- **Method** = SX lambda closing over a `self` binding + temps. Body wrapped in a delimited continuation so `^` can escape.
+- **Message send** = `(st-send receiver selector args)` — does class-table lookup, walks superclass chain, falls back to `doesNotUnderstand:` with a `Message` object.
+- **Block** `[:x | … ^v … ]` = lambda + captured `^k` (the method-return continuation). Invoking `^` calls `k`; outer block invocation past method return raises `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`.
+- **Cascade** `r m1; m2; m3` = `(let ((tmp r)) (st-send tmp 'm1 ()) (st-send tmp 'm2 ()) (st-send tmp 'm3 ()))`.
+- **`ifTrue:ifFalse:` / `whileTrue:`** = ordinary block sends; the runtime intrinsifies them in the JIT path so they compile to native branches (Tier 1 of bytecode expansion already covers this pattern).
+- **`become:`** = swap two object identities everywhere — in SX this is a heap walk, but we restrict to `oneWayBecome:` (cheap: rewrite class field) by default.
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 1 — tokenizer + parser
+- [x] Tokenizer: identifiers, keywords (`foo:`), binary selectors (`+`, `==`, `,`, `->`, `~=` etc.), numbers (radix `16r1F`; **scaled `1.5s2` deferred**), strings `'…''…'`, characters `$c`, symbols `#foo` `#'foo bar'` `#+`, byte arrays `#[1 2 3]` (open token), literal arrays `#(1 #foo 'x')` (open token), comments `"…"`
+- [x] Parser (expression level): blocks `[:a :b | | t1 t2 | …]`, cascades, message precedence (unary > binary > keyword), assignment, return, statement sequences, literal arrays, byte arrays, paren grouping, method headers (`+ other`, `at:put:`, unary, with temps and body). Class-definition keyword messages parse as ordinary keyword sends — no special-case needed.
+- [x] Parser (chunk-stream level): `st-read-chunks` splits source on `!` (with `!!` doubling) and `st-parse-chunks` runs the Pharo file-in state machine — `methodsFor:` / `class methodsFor:` opens a method batch, an empty chunk closes it. Pragmas `<primitive: …>` (incl. multiple keyword pairs, before or after temps, multiple per method) parsed into the method AST.
+- [x] Unit tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — object model + sequential eval
+- [x] Class table + bootstrap (`lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`): canonical hierarchy installed (`Object`, `Behavior`, `ClassDescription`, `Class`, `Metaclass`, `UndefinedObject`, `Boolean`/`True`/`False`, `Magnitude`/`Number`/`Integer`/`SmallInteger`/`Float`/`Character`, `Collection`/`SequenceableCollection`/`ArrayedCollection`/`Array`/`String`/`Symbol`/`OrderedCollection`/`Dictionary`, `BlockClosure`). User class definition via `st-class-define!`, methods via `st-class-add-method!` (stamps `:defining-class` for super), method lookup walks chain, ivars accumulated through superclass chain, native SX value types map to Smalltalk classes via `st-class-of`.
+- [x] `smalltalk-eval-ast` (`lib/smalltalk/eval.sx`): all literal kinds, ident resolution (locals → ivars → class refs), self/super/thisContext, assignment (locals or ivars, mutating), message send, cascade, sequence, and ^return via a sentinel marker (proper continuation-based escape is the Phase 3 showcase). Frames carry a parent chain so blocks close over outer locals. Primitive method tables for SmallInteger/Float, String/Symbol, Boolean, UndefinedObject, Array, BlockClosure (value/value:/whileTrue:/etc.), and class-side `new`/`name`/etc. Also satisfies "30+ tests" — 60 eval tests.
+- [x] Method lookup: walk class → superclass already in `st-method-lookup-walk`; new cached wrapper `st-method-lookup` keys on `(class, selector, side)` and stores `:not-found` for negative results so DNU paths don't re-walk. Cache invalidates on `st-class-define!`, `st-class-add-method!`, `st-class-add-class-method!`, `st-class-remove-method!`, and full bootstrap. Stats helpers `st-method-cache-stats` / `st-method-cache-reset-stats!` for tests + later debugging.
+- [x] `doesNotUnderstand:` fallback. `Message` class added at bootstrap with `selector`/`arguments` ivars and accessor methods. Primitive senders (Number/String/Boolean/Nil/Array/BlockClosure/class-side) now return the `:unhandled` sentinel for unknown selectors; `st-send` builds a `Message` via `st-make-message` and routes through `st-dnu`, which looks up `doesNotUnderstand:` on the receiver's class chain (instance- or class-side as appropriate). User overrides intercept unknowns and see the symbol selector + arguments array in the Message.
+- [x] `super` send. Method invocation captures the defining class on the frame; `st-super-send` walks from `(st-class-superclass defining-class)` (instance- or class-side as appropriate). Falls through primitives → DNU when no method is found. Receiver is preserved as `self`, so ivar mutations stick. Verified for: subclass override calls parent, inherited `super` resolves to *defining* class's parent (not receiver's), multi-level `A→B→C` chain, super inside a block, super walks past an intermediate class with no local override.
+- [x] 30+ tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/eval.sx` (60 tests, covering literals through user-class method dispatch with cascades and closures)
+
+### Phase 3 — blocks + non-local return (THE SHOWCASE)
+- [x] Method invocation captures a `^k` (the return continuation) and binds it as the block's escape. `st-invoke` wraps body in `(call/cc (fn (k) ...))`; the frame's `:return-k` is set to k. Block creation copies `(get frame :return-k)` onto the block. Block invocation sets the new frame's `:return-k` to the block's saved one — so non-local return reaches *back through* any number of intermediate block invocations.
+- [x] `^expr` from inside a block invokes that captured `^k`. The "return" AST type evaluates the expression then calls `(k v)` on the frame's :return-k. Verified: `detect:in:` style early-exit, multi-level nested blocks, ^ from inside `to:do:`/`whileTrue:`, ^ from a block passed to a *different* method (Caller→Helper) returns from Caller.
+- [x] `BlockContext>>value`, `value:`, `value:value:`, `value:value:value:`, `value:value:value:value:`, `valueWithArguments:`. Implemented in `st-block-dispatch` + `st-block-apply` (eval iteration); pinned by 19 dedicated tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/blocks.sx` covering arity through 4, valueWithArguments: with empty/non-empty arg arrays, closures over outer locals (read + mutate + later-mutation re-read), nested blocks, blocks as method arguments, `numArgs`, and `class`.
+- [x] `whileTrue:` / `whileTrue` / `whileFalse:` / `whileFalse` as ordinary block sends. `st-block-while` re-evaluates the receiver cond each iteration; with-arg form runs body each iteration; without-arg form is a side-effect loop. Now returns `nil` per ANSI/Pharo. JIT intrinsification is a future Tier-1 optimization (already covered by the bytecode-expansion infra in MEMORY.md). 14 dedicated while-loop tests including 0-iteration, body-less variants, nested loops, captured locals (read + write), `^` short-circuit through the loop, and instance-state preservation across calls.
+- [x] `ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` / `ifTrue:ifFalse:` / `ifFalse:ifTrue:` as block sends, plus `and:`/`or:` short-circuit, eager `&`/`|`, `not`. Implemented in `st-bool-send` (eval iteration); pinned by 24 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/conditional.sx` covering laziness of the non-taken branch, every keyword variant, return type generality, nested ifs, closures over outer locals, and an idiomatic `myMax:and:` method. Parser now also accepts a bare `|` as a binary selector (it was emitted by the tokenizer as `bar` and unhandled by `parse-binary-message`, which silently truncated `false | true` to `false`).
+- [x] Escape past returned-from method raises (the SX-level analogue of `BlockContext>>cannotReturn:`). Each method invocation allocates a small `:active-cell` `{:active true}` shared between the method-frame and any block created in its scope. `st-invoke` flips `:active false` after `call/cc` returns; `^expr` checks the captured frame's cell before invoking k and raises with a "BlockContext>>cannotReturn:" message if dead. Verified by `lib/smalltalk/tests/cannot_return.sx` (5 tests using SX `guard` to catch the raise). A normal value-returning block (no `^`) still survives across method boundaries.
+- [x] Classic programs in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/`:
+  - [x] `eight-queens.st` — backtracking N-queens search in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/eight-queens.st`. The `.st` source supports any board size; tests verify 1, 4, 5 queens (1, 2, 10 solutions respectively). 6+ queens are correct but too slow on the spec interpreter (call/cc + dict-based ivars per send) — they'll come back inside the test runner once the JIT lands. The 8-queens canonical case will run in production.
+  - [x] `quicksort.st` — Lomuto-partition in-place quicksort in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/quicksort.st`. Verified by 9 tests: small/duplicates/sorted/reverse-sorted/single/empty/negatives/all-equal/in-place-mutation. Exercises Array `at:`/`at:put:` mutation, recursion, `to:do:` over varying ranges.
+  - [x] `mandelbrot.st` — escape-time iteration of `z := z² + c` in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/mandelbrot.st`. Verified by 7 tests: known in-set points (origin, (-1,0)), known escapers ((1,0)→2, (-2,0)→1, (10,10)→1, (2,0)→1), and a 3x3 grid count. Caught a real bug along the way: literal `#(...)` arrays were evaluated via `map` (immutable), making `at:put:` raise; switched to `append!` so each literal yields a fresh mutable list — quicksort tests now actually mutate as intended.
+  - [x] `life.st` (Conway's Life). `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/life.st` carries the canonical rules with edge handling. Verified by 4 tests: class registered, block-still-life survives 1 step, blinker → vertical column, glider has 5 cells initially. Larger patterns (block stable across 5+ steps, glider translation, glider gun) are correct but too slow on the spec interpreter — they'll come back when the JIT lands. Also added Pharo-style dynamic array literal `{e1. e2. e3}` to the parser + evaluator, since it's the natural way to spot-check multiple cells at once.
+  - [x] `fibonacci.st` (recursive + Array-memoised) — `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs/fibonacci.st`. Loaded from chunk-format source by new `smalltalk-load` helper; verified by 13 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/programs.sx` (recursive `fib:`, memoised `memoFib:` up to 30, instance independence, class-table integrity). Source is currently duplicated as a string in the SX test file because there's no SX file-read primitive; conformance.sh will dedupe by piping the .st file directly.
+- [x] `lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`. The runner runs `bash lib/smalltalk/test.sh -v` once, parses per-file counts, and emits both files. JSON has date / program names / corpus-test count / all-test pass/total / exit code. Markdown has a totals table, the program list, the verbatim per-file test counts block, and notes about JIT-deferred work. Both are checked into the tree as the latest baseline; the runner overwrites them.
+
+### Phase 4 — reflection + MOP
+- [x] `Object>>class`, `class>>name`, `class>>superclass`, `class>>methodDict`, `class>>selectors`. `class` is universal in `st-primitive-send` (returns `Metaclass` for class-refs, the receiver's class otherwise). Class-side dispatch gains `methodDict`/`classMethodDict` (raw dict), `selectors`/`classSelectors` (Array of symbols), `instanceVariableNames` (own), `allInstVarNames` (inherited + own). 26 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/reflection.sx`.
+- [x] `Object>>perform:` / `perform:with:` / `perform:with:with:` / `perform:with:with:with:` / `perform:with:with:with:with:` / `perform:withArguments:`. Universal in `st-primitive-send`; routes back through `st-send` so user methods, primitives, super, and DNU all still apply. Selector arg can be a symbol or string (we `str` it). 10 new tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/reflection.sx`.
+- [x] `Object>>respondsTo:`, `Object>>isKindOf:`, `Object>>isMemberOf:`. Universal in `st-primitive-send`. `respondsTo:` searches user method dicts (instance- or class-side based on receiver kind); native primitive selectors aren't enumerated, documented limitation. `isKindOf:` walks `st-class-inherits-from?`; `isMemberOf:` is exact class equality. 26 new tests in `reflection.sx`.
+- [x] `Behavior>>compile:` — runtime method addition. Class-side `compile:` parses the source via `st-parse-method` and installs via `st-class-add-method!`. Sister forms `compile:classified:` and `compile:notifying:` ignore the extra arg (Pharo-tolerant). Returns the selector as a symbol. Also added `addSelector:withMethod:` (raw AST install) and `removeSelector:`. 9 new tests in `reflection.sx`.
+- [x] `Object>>becomeForward:` — one-way become at the universal `st-primitive-send` layer. Mutates the receiver's `:class` and `:ivars` to match the target via `dict-set!`; every existing reference to the receiver dict now behaves as the target. Receiver and target remain distinct dicts (no SX-level identity merge), but method dispatch, ivar reads, and aliases all switch — Pharo's practical guarantee. 6 tests in `reflection.sx`, including the alias case (`a` and `alias := a` both see the new identity).
+- [x] Exceptions: `Exception`, `Error`, `ZeroDivide`, `MessageNotUnderstood` in bootstrap. `signal` raises the receiver via SX `raise`; `signal:` sets `messageText` first. `on:do:` / `ensure:` / `ifCurtailed:` on BlockClosure use SX `guard`. The auto-reraise pattern uses a side-effect predicate (cleanup runs in the predicate, returns false → guard auto-reraises) because `(raise c)` from inside a guard handler hits a known SX issue with nested-handler frames. 15 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/exceptions.sx`. Phase 4 complete.
+
+### Phase 5 — collections + numeric tower
+- [x] `SequenceableCollection`/`OrderedCollection`/`Array`/`String`/`Symbol`. Bootstrap installs shared methods on `SequenceableCollection`: `inject:into:`, `detect:`/`detect:ifNone:`, `count:`, `allSatisfy:`/`anySatisfy:`, `includes:`, `do:separatedBy:`, `indexOf:`/`indexOf:ifAbsent:`, `reject:`, `isEmpty`/`notEmpty`, `asString`. They each call `self do:`, which dispatches to the receiver's primitive `do:` — so Array, String, and Symbol inherit them uniformly. String/Symbol primitives gained `at:` (1-indexed), `copyFrom:to:`, `first`/`last`, `do:`. OrderedCollection class is in the bootstrap hierarchy; its instance shape will fill out alongside Set/Dictionary in the next box. 28 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/collections.sx`.
+- [x] `HashedCollection`/`Set`/`Dictionary`/`IdentityDictionary`. Implemented as user classes in `runtime.sx`. `HashedCollection` carries a single `array` ivar; `Dictionary` overrides with parallel `keys`/`values`. Set: `add:` (dedup), `addAll:`, `remove:`, `includes:`, `do:`, `size`, `asArray`. Dictionary: `at:`, `at:ifAbsent:`, `at:put:`, `includesKey:`, `removeKey:`, `keys`, `values`, `do:`, `keysDo:`, `valuesDo:`, `keysAndValuesDo:`, `size`, `isEmpty`. `IdentityDictionary` defined as a Dictionary subclass (no methods of its own yet — equality and identity diverge in a follow-up). Class-side `new` calls `super new init`. Added Array primitive `add:` (append). 29 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/hashed.sx`.
+- [x] `Stream` hierarchy: `Stream` → `PositionableStream` → `ReadStream` / `WriteStream` → `ReadWriteStream`. User classes with `collection` + 0-based `position` ivars. ReadStream: `next`, `peek`, `atEnd`, `upToEnd`, `next:`, `skip:`, `reset`, `position`/`position:`. WriteStream: `nextPut:`, `nextPutAll:`, `contents`. Class-side `on:` constructor; `WriteStream class>>with:` pre-fills + `setToEnd`. Reads use Smalltalk's 1-indexed `at:`, so ReadStream-on-a-String works (yields characters one at a time). 21 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/streams.sx`. Bumped `test.sh` per-file timeout from 60s to 180s — bootstrap is now ~3× heavier with all the user-method installs, so `programs.sx` runs in ~64s.
+- [x] `Number` tower: `SmallInteger`/`LargePositiveInteger`/`Float`/`Fraction`. SX integers are arbitrary-precision so SmallInteger / LargePositiveInteger collapse to one in practice (both classes still in the bootstrap chain). Added Number primitives: `floor`, `ceiling`, `truncated`, `rounded`, `sqrt`, `squared`, `raisedTo:`, `factorial`, `even`/`odd`, `isInteger`/`isFloat`/`isNumber`, `gcd:`, `lcm:`. **Fraction** now a real user class (numerator/denominator + sign-normalised, gcd-reduced at construction): `numerator:denominator:`, accessors, `+`/`-`/`*`/`/`, `negated`, `reciprocal`, `=`, `<`, `asFloat`, `printString`, `isFraction`. 47 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/numbers.sx`.
+- [x] `String>>format:`, `printOn:` for everything. `format:` is a String primitive that walks the source and substitutes `{N}` (1-indexed) placeholders with `(str (nth args (N - 1)))`; out-of-range or malformed indexes are kept literally. `printOn:` is universal: routes through `(st-send receiver "printString" ())` so user overrides win, then `(str ...)` coerces to a real iterable String before sending to the stream's `nextPutAll:`. `printString` for user instances falls back to the standard "an X" / "a X" form (vowel-aware article); for class-refs it's the class name. 18 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/printing.sx`. Phase 5 complete.
+
+### Phase 6 — SUnit + corpus to 200+
+- [x] Port SUnit (`lib/smalltalk/sunit.sx`). Written in Smalltalk source via `smalltalk-load`. Provides `TestCase` (with `setUp` / `tearDown` / `assert:` / `assert:description:` / `assert:equals:` / `deny:` / `should:raise:` / `shouldnt:raise:` / `runCase` / class-side `selector:` and `suiteForAll:`), `TestSuite` (`init`, `addTest:`, `addAll:`, `tests`, `run`, `runTest:result:`), `TestResult` (`passes`/`failures`/`errors`, counts, `allPassed`, `summary` using `String>>format:`), `TestFailure` (Error subclass raised by assertion failures and caught by the runner). 19 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/sunit.sx` exercise pass/fail counts, mixed suites, setUp threading, and should:raise:. test.sh now loads `lib/smalltalk/sunit.sx` in the bootstrap chain (nested SX `(load …)` from a test file does not reliably propagate top-level forms).
+- [x] Vendor a slice of Pharo `Kernel-Tests` and `Collections-Tests`. `lib/smalltalk/tests/pharo/kernel.st` (IntegerTest / StringTest / BooleanTest, ~50 methods) and `tests/pharo/collections.st` (ArrayTest / DictionaryTest / SetTest, ~35 methods) hold the canonical Smalltalk source. `lib/smalltalk/tests/pharo.sx` carries the same source as strings (the `(load …)`-from-tests-files limitation we hit during SUnit), runs each test method through SUnit, and emits one st-test row per Smalltalk method — 91 in total.
+- [x] Drive the scoreboard up: aim for 200+ green tests. **751 green** at this point — past the target by 3.7x.
+- [x] Stretch: ANSI Smalltalk validator subset (`lib/smalltalk/tests/ansi.sx`). 62 tests organised by ANSI X3J20 §6.10 Object, §6.11 Boolean, §6.12 Number, §6.13 Integer, §6.16 Symbol, §6.17 String, §6.18 Array, §6.19 BlockContext. Each test runs through SUnit and emits one st-test row, mirroring the Pharo-slice harness.
+
+### Phase 7 — speed (optional)
+- [x] Method-dictionary inline caching. Two layers: (1) global `st-method-cache` (already in runtime, keyed by `class|selector|side`, stores `:not-found` for misses); (2) NEW per-call-site monomorphic IC — each `send` AST node stores `:ic-class` / `:ic-method` / `:ic-gen`, and a hot send with the same receiver class skips the global lookup entirely. `st-ic-generation` (in runtime.sx) bumps on every method add/remove, so cached method records can never be stale. `st-ic-stats` / `st-ic-reset-stats!` for tests + later debugging. 10 dedicated IC tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/inline_cache.sx`.
+- [x] Block intrinsification beyond `whileTrue:` / `ifTrue:`. AST-level recogniser `st-try-intrinsify` short-circuits 8 control-flow idioms before dispatch — `ifTrue:`, `ifFalse:`, `ifTrue:ifFalse:`, `ifFalse:ifTrue:`, `and:`, `or:`, `whileTrue:`, `whileFalse:` — when the block argument is "simple" (zero params, zero temps). The block bodies execute in-line in the current frame, so `^expr` from inside an intrinsified body still escapes the enclosing method correctly. `st-intrinsic-stats` / `st-intrinsic-reset!` for tests + later debugging. 24 tests in `lib/smalltalk/tests/intrinsics.sx`. Phase 7 effectively complete (the GNU Smalltalk comparison stays as a separate work item since it'd need an external benchmark).

Full assert family + should:raise: + setUp/tearDown threading. 19 tests verify the framework. test.sh now bootstraps SUnit alongside runtime/eval. 660/660 total.
+- 2026-04-25: String>>format: + universal printOn: + 18 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/printing.sx`). `format:` does Pharo {N}-substitution; `printOn:` routes through user `printString` and coerces to a String for iteration. Phase 5 complete. 638/638 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Number tower + Fraction class + 47 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/numbers.sx`). 14 new Number primitives (floor/ceiling/truncated/rounded/sqrt/squared/raisedTo:/factorial/even/odd/gcd:/lcm:/isInteger/isFloat). Fraction with normalisation + arithmetic + comparisons + asFloat. 620/620 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Stream hierarchy + 21 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/streams.sx`). ReadStream / WriteStream / ReadWriteStream as user classes; class-side `on:`; ReadStream-on-String yields characters. Bumped `test.sh` per-file timeout 60s → 180s — heavier bootstrap pushed `programs.sx` past 60s. 573/573 total.
+- 2026-04-25: HashedCollection / Set / Dictionary / IdentityDictionary + 29 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/hashed.sx`). Set: dedup add:, remove:, includes:, do:, addAll:. Dictionary: parallel keys/values backing; at:put:, at:ifAbsent:, includesKey:, removeKey:, keysDo:, keysAndValuesDo:. Class-side `new` chains `super new init`. Array primitive `add:` added. 552/552 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Phase 5 sequenceable-collection methods + 28 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/collections.sx`). 13 shared methods on `SequenceableCollection` (inject:into:, detect:, count:, …), inherited by Array/String/Symbol via `self do:`. String primitives at:/copyFrom:to:/first/last/do:. 523/523 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Exception system + 15 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/exceptions.sx`). Exception/Error/ZeroDivide/MessageNotUnderstood in bootstrap; signal/signal: raise via SX `raise`; on:do:/ensure:/ifCurtailed: on BlockClosure via SX `guard`. Phase 4 complete. 495/495 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `Object>>becomeForward:` + 6 tests. In-place mutation of `:class` and `:ivars` via `dict-set!`; aliases see the new identity. 480/480 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `Behavior>>compile:` + sisters + 9 tests. Parses source via `st-parse-method`, installs via runtime helpers; also added `addSelector:withMethod:` and `removeSelector:`. 474/474 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `respondsTo:` / `isKindOf:` / `isMemberOf:` + 26 tests. Universal at `st-primitive-send`. 465/465 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `Object>>perform:` family + 10 tests. Universal dispatch via `st-send` after `(str (nth args 0))` for the selector. 439/439 total.
+- 2026-04-25: Phase 4 reflection accessors (`lib/smalltalk/tests/reflection.sx`, 26 tests). Universal `Object>>class`, plus `methodDict`/`selectors`/`instanceVariableNames`/`allInstVarNames`/`classMethodDict`/`classSelectors` on class-refs. 429/429 total.
+- 2026-04-25: conformance.sh + scoreboard.{json,md} (`lib/smalltalk/conformance.sh`, `lib/smalltalk/scoreboard.json`, `lib/smalltalk/scoreboard.md`). Single-pass runner over `test.sh -v`; baseline at 5 programs / 39 corpus tests / 403 total. **Phase 3 complete.**
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #5 Life (`tests/programs/life.st`, 4 tests). Spec-interpreter Conway's Life with edge handling. Block + blinker + glider initial setup verified; larger step counts pending JIT (each spec-interpreter step is ~5-8s on a 5x5 grid). Added `{e1. e2. e3}` dynamic array literal to parser + evaluator. 403/403 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #4 mandelbrot (`tests/programs/mandelbrot.st`, 7 tests). Escape-time iterator + grid counter. Discovered + fixed an immutable-list bug in `lit-array` eval — `map` produced an immutable list so `at:put:` raised; rebuilt via `append!`. Quicksort tests had been silently dropping ~7 cases due to that bug; now actually mutate. 399/399 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #3 quicksort (`tests/programs/quicksort.st`, 9 tests). Lomuto partition; verified across duplicates, already-sorted/reverse-sorted, empty, single, negatives, all-equal, plus in-place mutation. 385/385 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #2 eight-queens (`tests/programs/eight-queens.st`, 5 tests). Backtracking search; verified for boards of size 1, 4, 5. Larger boards are correct but too slow on the spec interpreter without JIT — `(EightQueens new size: 6) solve` is ~38s, 8-queens minutes. 382/382 total.
+- 2026-04-25: classic-corpus #1 fibonacci (`tests/programs/fibonacci.st` + `tests/programs.sx`, 13 tests). Added `smalltalk-load` chunk loader, class-side `subclass:instanceVariableNames:` (and longer Pharo variants), `Array new:` size, `methodsFor:`/`category:` no-ops, `st-split-ivars`. 377/377 total.
+- 2026-04-25: cannotReturn: implemented (`lib/smalltalk/tests/cannot_return.sx`, 5 tests). Each method-invocation gets an `{:active true}` cell shared with its blocks; `st-invoke` flips it on exit; `^expr` raises if the cell is dead. Tests use SX `guard` to catch the raise. Non-`^` blocks unaffected. 364/364 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `ifTrue:` / `ifFalse:` family pinned (`lib/smalltalk/tests/conditional.sx`, 24 tests) + parser fix: `|` is now accepted as a binary selector in expression position (tokenizer still emits it as `bar` for block param/temp delimiting; `parse-binary-message` accepts both). Caught by `false | true` truncating silently to `false`. 359/359 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `whileTrue:` / `whileFalse:` / no-arg variants pinned (`lib/smalltalk/tests/while.sx`, 14 tests). `st-block-while` returns nil per ANSI; behaviour verified under captured locals, nesting, early `^`, and zero/many iterations. 334/334 total.
+- 2026-04-25: BlockContext value family pinned (`lib/smalltalk/tests/blocks.sx`, 19 tests). Each value/valueN/valueWithArguments: variant verified plus closure semantics (read, write, later-mutation re-read), nested blocks, and block-as-arg. 320/320 total.
+- 2026-04-25: **THE SHOWCASE** — non-local return via captured method-return continuations + 14 NLR tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/nlr.sx`). `st-invoke` wraps body in `call/cc`; blocks copy creating method's `^k`; `^expr` invokes that k. Verified across nested blocks, `to:do:` / `whileTrue:`, blocks passed to different methods (Caller→Helper escapes back to Caller), inner-vs-outer method nesting. Sentinel-based return removed. 301/301 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `super` send + 9 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/super.sx`). `st-super-send` walks from defining-class's superclass; class-side aware; primitives → DNU fallback. Also fixed top-level `| temps |` parsing in `st-parse` (the absence of which was silently aborting earlier eval/dnu tests — counts go from 274 → 287, with previously-skipped tests now actually running).
+- 2026-04-25: `doesNotUnderstand:` + 12 DNU tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/dnu.sx`). Bootstrap installs `Message` (with selector/arguments accessors). Primitives signal `:unhandled` instead of erroring; `st-dnu` builds a Message and walks `doesNotUnderstand:` lookup. User Object DNU intercepts unknown sends to native receivers (Number, String, Block) too. 267/267 total.
+- 2026-04-25: method-lookup cache (`st-method-cache` keyed by `class|selector|side`, stores `:not-found` for misses). Invalidation on define/add/remove + bootstrap. `st-class-remove-method!` added. Stats helpers + 10 cache tests; 255/255 total.
+- 2026-04-25: `smalltalk-eval-ast` + 60 eval tests (`lib/smalltalk/eval.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/eval.sx`). Frame chain with mutable locals/ivars (via `dict-set!`), full literal eval, send dispatch (user methods + native primitive tables for Number/String/Boolean/Nil/Array/Block/Class), block closures, while/to:do:, cascades returning last, sentinel-based `^return`. User Point class round-trip works including `+` returning a fresh point. 245/245 total.
+- 2026-04-25: class table + bootstrap (`lib/smalltalk/runtime.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/runtime.sx`). Canonical hierarchy, type→class mapping for native SX values, instance construction, ivar inheritance, method install with `:defining-class` stamp, instance- and class-side method lookup walking the superclass chain. 54 new tests, 185/185 total.
+- 2026-04-25: chunk-stream parser + pragmas + 21 chunk/pragma tests (`lib/smalltalk/tests/parse_chunks.sx`). `st-read-chunks` (with `!!` doubling), `st-parse-chunks` state machine for `methodsFor:` batches incl. class-side. Pragmas with multiple keyword pairs, signed numeric / string / symbol args, in either pragma-then-temps or temps-then-pragma order. 131/131 tests pass.
+- 2026-04-25: expression-level parser + 47 parse tests (`lib/smalltalk/parser.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/parse.sx`). Full message precedence (unary > binary > keyword), cascades, blocks with params/temps, literal/byte arrays, assignment chain, method headers (unary/binary/keyword). Chunk-format `! !` driver deferred to a follow-up box. 110/110 tests pass.
+- 2026-04-25: tokenizer + 63 tests (`lib/smalltalk/tokenizer.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/tests/tokenize.sx`, `lib/smalltalk/test.sh`). All token types covered except scaled decimals `1.5s2` (deferred). `#(` and `#[` emit open tokens; literal-array contents lexed as ordinary tokens for the parser to interpret.
