Merge architecture into loops/forth

lib/apl/runtime.sx (60 forms):
- Core: apl-iota (1..N), apl-rho (shape), apl-at (1-indexed access).
- Rank-polymorphic apl-dyadic/apl-monadic helpers: scalar×scalar,
  scalar×vector, vector×vector all supported uniformly.
- Arithmetic: add/sub/mul/div/mod/pow/max/min, neg/abs/floor/ceil/sqrt.
- Comparison: eq/neq/lt/le/gt/ge → 0/1 result vectors.
- Boolean: and/or/not on 0/1 values, element-wise.
- Bitwise: bitand/bitor/bitxor/bitnot/lshift/rshift — element-wise.
- Reduction: reduce-add/mul/max/min/and/or; scan-add/mul.
- Vector ops: reverse, cat (scalar/vector catenate), take (±N), drop (±N),
  rotate, compress (boolean mask), index (multi-index).
- Set ops: member (∊, → 0/1), nub (∪, unique preserve-order),
  union, intersect (∩), without (~). All use SX make-set internally.
- Format (⍕): vector → space-separated string, scalar → str.

lib/apl/tests/runtime.sx + lib/apl/test.sh: 73/73 pass.

+| 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.

+\         0.13 28 October 2015

+\         0.1  Oct 2006 First version released
+\ -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+\ The tests are based on John Hayes test program for the core word set
+
+\ Words tested in this file are:
+\     .( .R 0<> 0> 2>R 2R> 2R@ :NONAME <> ?DO AGAIN C" CASE COMPILE, ENDCASE
+\     ENDOF ERASE FALSE HEX MARKER NIP OF PAD PARSE PICK REFILL
+\     RESTORE-INPUT ROLL SAVE-INPUT SOURCE-ID TO TRUE TUCK U.R U> UNUSED
+\     VALUE WITHIN [COMPILE]
+
+\ Words not tested or partially tested:
+\     \ because it has been extensively used already and is, hence, unnecessary
+\     REFILL and SOURCE-ID from the user input device which are not possible
+\     when testing from a file such as this one
+\     UNUSED (partially tested) as the value returned is system dependent
+\     Obsolescent words #TIB CONVERT EXPECT QUERY SPAN TIB as they have been
+\     removed from the Forth 2012 standard
+
+\ Results from words that output to the user output device have to visually
+\ checked for correctness. These are .R U.R .(
+

+\ Assumptions & dependencies:
+\     - tester.fr (or ttester.fs), errorreport.fth and utilities.fth have been

+A "chunk" is any preprocessed segment ending at a \`}T\` (every Hayes test
+is one chunk, plus the small declaration blocks between tests).
+The runner catches raised errors at chunk boundaries so one bad chunk
+does not abort the rest. \`error\` covers chunks that raised; \`fail\`
+covers tests whose \`->\` / \`}T\` comparison mismatched.
+
+### Chunk cap
+
+\`conformance.sh\` processes the first \`\$MAX_CHUNKS\` chunks (default
+**638**, i.e. the whole Hayes Core file). Lower the cap temporarily
+while iterating on primitives if a regression re-opens an infinite
+loop in later tests.

+- **Source**: `gerryjackson/forth2012-test-suite` `src/core.fr`
+- **Generated**: 2026-04-25T04:57:22Z
+- **Note**: completed
+
+A "chunk" is any preprocessed segment ending at a `}T` (every Hayes test
+is one chunk, plus the small declaration blocks between tests).
+The runner catches raised errors at chunk boundaries so one bad chunk
+does not abort the rest. `error` covers chunks that raised; `fail`
+covers tests whose `->` / `}T` comparison mismatched.
+
+### Chunk cap
+
+`conformance.sh` processes the first `$MAX_CHUNKS` chunks (default
+**638**, i.e. the whole Hayes Core file). Lower the cap temporarily
+while iterating on primitives if a regression re-opens an infinite
+loop in later tests.

+;; Covers: character classes (\d\w\s . [abc] [^abc] [a-z]),
+;;   anchors (^ $ \b \B), quantifiers (* + ? {n,m} lazy variants),
+;;   groups (capturing + non-capturing), alternation (a|b),

+
+## Prompt
+
+You are the sole background agent working `/root/rose-ash/plans/apl-on-sx.md`. Isolated worktree, forever, one commit per feature. Never push.
+
+## Restart baseline — check before iterating
+
+1. Read `plans/apl-on-sx.md` — roadmap + Progress log.
+2. `ls lib/apl/` — pick up from the most advanced file.
+3. If `lib/apl/tests/*.sx` exist, run them. Green before new work.
+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)`).
+- One feature per iteration. Commit. Log. Next.

+- **Worktree:** commit locally. Never push. Never touch `main`.
+- **Commit granularity:** one feature per commit.
+- **Plan file:** update Progress log + tick boxes every commit.
+
+## 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.

+# SX Primitives — Meta-Loop Briefing
+
+Goal: add fundamental missing SX primitives in sequence, then sweep all language
+implementations to replace their workarounds. Full rationale: vectors fix O(n) array
+access across every language; numeric tower fixes float/int conflation; dynamic-wind
+fixes cleanup semantics; coroutine primitive unifies Ruby/Lua/Tcl; string buffer fixes
+O(n²) concat; algebraic data types eliminate the tagged-dict pattern everywhere.
+
+**Each fire: find the first unchecked `[ ]`, do it, commit, tick it, stop.**
+Sub-items within a Phase may span multiple fires — just commit progress and tick what's done.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 0 — Prep (gate)
+
+- [x] Stop new-language loops: send `/exit` to sx-loops windows for the four blank-slate
+      languages that haven't committed workarounds yet:
+      ```
+      tmux send-keys -t sx-loops:common-lisp "/exit" Enter
+      tmux send-keys -t sx-loops:apl          "/exit" Enter
+      tmux send-keys -t sx-loops:ruby         "/exit" Enter
+      tmux send-keys -t sx-loops:tcl          "/exit" Enter
+      ```
+      Verify all four windows are idle (claude prompt, no active task).
+
+- [x] E38 + E39 landed: check both Bucket-E branches for implementation commits.
+      ```
+      git log --oneline hs-e38-sourceinfo | head -5
+      git log --oneline hs-e39-webworker  | head -5
+      ```
+      If either branch has only its base commit (no impl work yet): note "pending" and stop —
+      next fire re-checks. Proceed only when both have at least one implementation commit.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Vectors
+
+Native mutable integer-indexed arrays. Fix: Lua O(n) sort, APL rank polymorphism, Ruby
+Array, Tcl lists, Common Lisp vectors, all using string-keyed dicts today.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `make-vector` `n` `[fill]` → vector of length n
+- `vector?` `v` → bool
+- `vector-ref` `v` `i` → element at index i (0-based)
+- `vector-set!` `v` `i` `x` → mutate in place
+- `vector-length` `v` → integer
+- `vector->list` `v` → list
+- `list->vector` `lst` → vector
+- `vector-fill!` `v` `x` → fill all elements
+- `vector-copy` `v` `[start]` `[end]` → fresh copy of slice
+
+Steps:
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxVector of value array` to `hosts/ocaml/sx_types.ml`; implement all
+      primitives in `hosts/ocaml/sx_primitives.ml` (or equivalent); wire into evaluator.
+      Note: Vector type + most prims were already present; added bounds-checked vector-ref/set!
+      and optional start/end to vector-copy. 10/10 vector tests pass (r7rs suite).
+- [x] Spec: add vector entries to `spec/primitives.sx` with type signatures and descriptions.
+      All 10 vector primitives now have :as type annotations, :returns, and :doc strings.
+      make-vector: optional fill param; vector-copy: optional start/end (done prev step).
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement vectors in `hosts/javascript/platform.js` (or equivalent);
+      ensure `sx-browser.js` rebuild picks them up.
+      Fixed index-of for lists (was returning -1 not NIL, breaking bind-lambda-params),
+      added _lastErrorKont_/hostError/try-catch/without-io-hook stubs. Vectors work.
+- [x] Tests: 40+ tests in `spec/tests/test-vectors.sx` covering construction, ref, set!,
+      length, conversions, fill, copy, bounds behaviour.
+      42 tests, all pass. 1847 standard / 2362 full passing (up from 5).
+- [x] Verify: full test suite still passes (`node hosts/javascript/run_tests.js --full`).
+      2362/4924 pass (improvement from pre-existing lambda binding bug, no regressions).
+- [x] Commit: `spec: vector primitive (make-vector/vector-ref/vector-set!/etc)`
+      Committed as: js: fix lambda binding (index-of on lists), add vectors + R7RS platform stubs

+## Phase 2 — Numeric tower
+
+Float ≠ integer distinction. Fix: Erlang `=:=`, Lua `math.type()`, Haskell `Num`/`Integral`,
+Common Lisp `integerp`/`floatp`/`ratio`, JS `Number.isInteger`.
+
+Changes:
+- `parse-number` preserves float identity: `"1.0"` → float 1.0, not integer 1
+- New predicates: `integer?`, `float?`, `exact?`, `inexact?`
+- New coercions: `exact->inexact`, `inexact->exact`
+- Fix `floor`/`ceiling`/`truncate`/`round` to return integers when applied to floats
+- `number->string` renders `1.0` as `"1.0"`, `1` as `"1"`
+- Arithmetic: `(+ 1 1.0)` → `2.0` (float contagion), `(+ 1 1)` → `2` (integer)
+
+Steps:
+- [x] OCaml: distinguish `Integer of int` / `Number of float` in `sx_types.ml`; update all
+      arithmetic primitives for float contagion; fix `parse-number`.
+      92/92 numeric tower tests pass; 4874 total (394 pre-existing hs-upstream fails unchanged).
+- [x] Spec: update `spec/primitives.sx` with new predicates + coercions; document contagion rules.
+      Added integer?/float? predicates; updated number? body; / returns "float"; floor/ceil/truncate
+      return "integer"; +/-/* doc float contagion; fixed double-paren params; 4874/394 baseline.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: update number representation and arithmetic.
+      Added integer?/float?/exact?/inexact?/truncate/remainder/modulo/random-int/exact->inexact/
+      inexact->exact/parse-number. Fixed sx_server.ml epoch protocol for Integer type.
+      JS: 1940 passed (+60); OCaml: 4874/394 unchanged. 6 tests JS-only fail (float≡int limitation).
+- [x] Tests: 92 tests in `spec/tests/test-numeric-tower.sx` — int-arithmetic, float-contagion,
+      division, predicates, coercions, rounding, parse-number, equality, modulo, min-max, stringify.
+- [x] Verify: full suite passes. OCaml 4874/394 (baseline unchanged). JS 1940/2500 (+60 vs pre-tower).
+      No regressions on any test that relied on `1.0 = 1` — those tests were already using integer
+      literals which remain identical in JS. 6 JS-only failures are platform-inherent (JS float≡int).
+- [x] Commit: all work landed across 4 commits (c70bbdeb, 45ec5535, b12a22e6, f5acb31c).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Dynamic-wind
+
+Fix: Common Lisp `unwind-protect`, Ruby `ensure`, JS `finally`, Tcl `catch`+cleanup,
+Erlang `try...after` (currently uses double-nested guard workaround).
+
+- [x] Spec: implement `dynamic-wind` in `spec/evaluator.sx` such that the after-thunk fires
+      on both normal return AND non-local exit (raise/call-cc escape). Must compose with
+      `guard` — currently they don't interact.
+- [x] OCaml: wire `dynamic-wind` through the CEK machine with a `WindFrame` continuation.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: update.
+- [x] Tests: 20+ tests covering normal return, raise, call/cc escape, nested dynamic-winds.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: dynamic-wind + guard integration`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Coroutine primitive
+
+Unify Ruby fibers, Lua coroutines, Tcl coroutines — all currently reimplemented separately
+using call/cc+perform/resume.
+
+- [x] Spec: add `make-coroutine`, `coroutine-resume`, `coroutine-yield`, `coroutine?`,
+      `coroutine-alive?` to `spec/primitives.sx`. Build on existing `perform`/`cek-resume`
+      machinery — coroutines ARE perform/resume with a stable identity.
+      Implemented as `spec/coroutines.sx` define-library; `make-coroutine` stub in evaluator.sx.
+      17/17 coroutine tests pass (OCaml). Drives iteration via define+fn recursion (not named let —
+      named let uses cek_call→cek_run which errors on IO suspension).
+- [x] OCaml: implement coroutine type; wire resume/yield through CEK suspension.
+      No new native type needed — dict-based coroutine identity + existing cek-step-loop/
+      cek-resume/perform primitives in run_tests.ml ARE the OCaml implementation. 17/17 pass.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: update.
+      All CEK primitives already in sx-browser.js. Fix: pre-load spec/coroutines.sx +
+      spec/signals.sx in run_tests.js so (import (sx coroutines)) resolves without suspension.
+      17/17 pass in JS. 1965/2500 (+25 vs 1940 baseline). Zero new failures.
+- [x] Tests: 25+ tests — multi-yield, final return, arg passthrough, alive? predicate,
+      nested coroutines, "final return vs yield" distinction (the Lua gotcha).
+      27 tests: added 10 new — state field inspection (ready/suspended/dead), yield from
+      nested helper, initial resume arg ignored, mutable closure state, complex yield values,
+      round-robin scheduling, factory-shared-no-state, non-coroutine error. 27/27 OCaml+JS.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: coroutine primitive (make-coroutine/resume/yield)`
+      Phase 4 landed across 4 commits: 21cb9cf5 (spec library), 9eb12c66 (ocaml verified),
+      b78e06a7 (js pre-load), 0ffe208e (27 tests). Phase 4 complete.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — String buffer
+
+Fix O(n²) string concatenation in loops across Lua, Ruby, Common Lisp, Tcl.
+
+- [x] Spec + OCaml: add `make-string-buffer`, `string-buffer-append!`, `string-buffer->string`,
+      `string-buffer-length` to primitives. OCaml: `Buffer.t` wrapper. JS: array+join.
+      Also: string-buffer? predicate; SxStringBuffer._string_buffer marker for typeOf/dict?
+      exclusion; inspect case in sx_types.ml. 17/17 tests OCaml+JS.
+- [x] Tests: 15+ tests.
+      17 tests written inline with Spec+OCaml step: construction, type-of, empty/length,
+      single/multi-append, append-returns-nil, empty-string-append, reuse-after-to-string,
+      independence, loop-building, CSV-row, unicode, repeated-to-string, join-pattern.
+      17/17 OCaml+JS.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: string-buffer primitive`
+      Committed as d98b5fa2 — all work in one commit (OCaml type + primitives + JS + spec + 17 tests).
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Algebraic data types
+
+The deepest structural gap. Every language uses `{:tag "..." :field ...}` tagged dicts to
+simulate sum types. A native `define-type` + `match` form eliminates this everywhere.
+
+- [x] Design: write `plans/designs/sx-adt.md` covering syntax, CEK dispatch, interaction with
+      existing `cond`/`case`, exhaustiveness checking, recursive types, pattern variables.
+      Draft, then stop — next fire reviews design before implementing.
+      Written: define-type/match syntax, AdtValue runtime rep, stepSfDefineType + MatchFrame
+      CEK dispatch, exhaustiveness warnings via _adt_registry, recursive types, nested patterns,
+      wildcard _, 3-phase impl plan (basic/nested/exhaustiveness), open questions on accessors/singletons/inspect.
+
+- [x] Spec: implement `define-type` special form in `spec/evaluator.sx`:
+      `(define-type Name (Ctor1 field...) (Ctor2 field...) ...)`
+      Creates constructor functions `Ctor1`, `Ctor2` + predicate `Name?`.
+
+- [x] Spec: implement `match` special form:
+      `(match expr ((Ctor1 a b) body) ((Ctor2 x) body) (else body))`
+      Exhaustiveness warning if not all constructors covered and no `else`.
+
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxAdt of string * value array` to types; implement constructors + match.
+      Dict-based ADT (no native type needed — matches spec). Hand-written sf_define_type
+      in bootstrap.py FIXUPS; registered via register_special_form. 172 assertions pass.
+      4280/1080 full suite (37 improvement over old baseline 4243/1117).
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: update.
+      No changes needed — define-type/match are spec-level; sx-browser.js rebuilt at 0dc7e159.
+      40/40 ADT tests pass JS. 2032/2500 total (+67 vs 1965 phase-4 baseline).
+- [x] Tests: 40+ tests in `spec/tests/test-adt.sx`.
+      40 tests written across two spec commits (6c872107+0dc7e159). All pass OCaml+JS.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: algebraic data types (define-type + match)`
+      Phase 6 landed across 5 commits: 6c872107 (define-type spec), 0dc7e159 (match spec),
+      5d1913e7 (ocaml bootstrap), f63b2147 (plan tick). JS already current.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7 — Bitwise operations
+
+Completely absent today. Needed by: Forth (core), APL (array masks), Erlang (bitmatch),
+JS (typed arrays, bitfields), Common Lisp (`logand`/`logior`/`logxor`/`lognot`/`ash`).
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `bitwise-and` `a` `b` → integer
+- `bitwise-or` `a` `b` → integer
+- `bitwise-xor` `a` `b` → integer
+- `bitwise-not` `a` → integer
+- `arithmetic-shift` `a` `count` → integer (left if count > 0, right if count < 0)
+- `bit-count` `a` → number of set bits (popcount)
+- `integer-length` `a` → number of bits needed to represent a
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add entries to `spec/primitives.sx` with type signatures.
+      stdlib.bitwise module with 7 entries appended to spec/primitives.sx.
+- [x] OCaml: implement in `hosts/ocaml/sx_primitives.ml` using OCaml `land`/`lor`/`lxor`/`lnot`/`lsl`/`asr`.
+      land/lor/lxor/lnot/lsl/asr in sx_primitives.ml. bit-count: Kernighan loop. integer-length: lsr loop.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement in `hosts/javascript/platform.js` using JS `&`/`|`/`^`/`~`/`<<`/`>>`.
+      stdlib.bitwise module added to PRIMITIVES_JS_MODULES. bit-count: Hamming weight. integer-length: Math.clz32.
+- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-bitwise.sx` — basic ops, shift left/right, negative numbers, popcount.
+      26 tests, 158 assertions, all pass OCaml+JS.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: bitwise operations (bitwise-and/or/xor/not, arithmetic-shift, bit-count)`
+      Committed a8a79dc9. Phase 7 complete in single commit.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8 — Multiple values
+
+R7RS standard. Common Lisp uses them heavily; Haskell tuples map naturally; Erlang
+multi-return. Without them, every function returning two things encodes it as a list or dict.
+
+Primitives / forms to add:
+- `values` `v...` → multiple-value object
+- `call-with-values` `producer` `consumer` → applies consumer to values from producer
+- `let-values` `(((a b) expr) ...)` `body` — binding form (special form in evaluator)
+- `define-values` `(a b ...)` `expr` — top-level multi-value bind
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add `SxValues` type to evaluator; implement `values` + `call-with-values` in
+      `spec/evaluator.sx`; add `let-values` / `define-values` special forms.
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxValues of value list` to `sx_types.ml`; wire through CEK.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement values type + forms.
+- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-values.sx` — basic producer/consumer, let-values
+      destructuring, define-values, interaction with `begin`/`do`.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: multiple values (values/call-with-values/let-values)`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 9 — Promises (lazy evaluation)
+
+Critical for Haskell — lazy evaluation is so central that without it the Haskell
+implementation can't be idiomatic. Also useful for lazy lists in Common Lisp and
+lazy streams in Scheme-style code generally.
+
+Primitives / forms to add:
+- `delay` `expr` → promise (special form — expr not evaluated yet)
+- `force` `p` → evaluate promise, cache result, return it
+- `make-promise` `v` → already-forced promise wrapping v
+- `promise?` `v` → bool
+- `delay-force` `expr` → for iterative lazy sequences (avoids stack growth in lazy streams)
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add `delay` / `delay-force` special forms to `spec/evaluator.sx`; add promise
+      type with mutable forced/value slots; `force` checks if already forced before eval.
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxPromise of { mutable forced: bool; mutable value: value; thunk: value }`;
+      wire `delay`/`force`/`delay-force` through CEK.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement promise type + forms.
+- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-promises.sx` — basic delay/force, memoisation
+      (forced only once), delay-force lazy stream, promise? predicate, make-promise.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: promises — delay/force/delay-force for lazy evaluation`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 10 — Mutable hash tables
+
+Distinct from SX's immutable dicts. Dict primitives copy on every update — fine for
+functional code, wrong for table-heavy language implementations. Lua tables, Smalltalk
+dicts, Erlang process dictionaries, and JS Map all need O(1) mutable associative storage.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `make-hash-table` `[capacity]` → fresh mutable hash table
+- `hash-table?` `v` → bool
+- `hash-table-set!` `ht` `key` `val` → mutate in place
+- `hash-table-ref` `ht` `key` `[default]` → value or default/error
+- `hash-table-delete!` `ht` `key` → remove entry
+- `hash-table-size` `ht` → integer
+- `hash-table-keys` `ht` → list of keys
+- `hash-table-values` `ht` → list of values
+- `hash-table->alist` `ht` → list of (key . value) pairs
+- `hash-table-for-each` `ht` `fn` → iterate (fn key val) for side effects
+- `hash-table-merge!` `dst` `src` → merge src into dst in place
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add entries to `spec/primitives.sx`.
+      stdlib.hash-table module with 11 define-primitive entries appended to spec/primitives.sx.
+- [x] OCaml: add `HashTable of (value, value) Hashtbl.t` to `sx_types.ml`; implement
+      all primitives in `hosts/ocaml/sx_primitives.ml`.
+      HashTable variant in sx_types.ml; type_of/inspect cases added; 11 primitives in sx_primitives.ml;
+      fixed _cek_call_ref reference for hash-table-for-each. 4385/1080 (+28).
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement using JS `Map` in `hosts/javascript/platform.js`.
+      SxHashTable class with Map; _hash_table marker; dict?/type-of exclusion; apply() for for-each.
+      2137/2500 (+4 vs phase-9 baseline).
+- [x] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-hash-table.sx` — set/ref/delete, size, iteration,
+      default on missing key, merge, keys/values lists.
+      28 tests; all pass OCaml+JS. Used empty? not assert= for empty-list comparisons.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: mutable hash tables (make-hash-table/ref/set!/delete!/etc)`
+      Committed 133bdf52. Phase 10 complete.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 11 — Sequence protocol
+
+Unified iteration over lists and vectors without conversion. Currently `map`/`filter`/
+`for-each` only work on lists — you must `vector->list` first, which defeats the purpose
+of vectors. A sequence protocol makes all collection operations polymorphic.
+
+Approach: extend existing `map`/`filter`/`reduce`/`for-each`/`some`/`every?` to dispatch
+on type (list → existing path, vector → index loop, string → char iteration). Add:
+- `in-range` `start` `[end]` `[step]` → lazy range sequence (works with `for-each`/`map`)
+- `sequence->list` `s` → coerce any sequence to list
+- `sequence->vector` `s` → coerce any sequence to vector
+- `sequence-length` `s` → length of any sequence
+- `sequence-ref` `s` `i` → element by index (lists and vectors)
+- `sequence-append` `s1` `s2` → concatenate two same-type sequences
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: extend `map`/`filter`/`reduce`/`for-each`/`some`/`every?` in `spec/evaluator.sx`
+      to type-dispatch; add `in-range` lazy sequence type + helpers.
+- [x] OCaml: update HO form dispatch; add `SxRange` or use lazy list; implement `sequence-*`
+      primitives.
+      seq_to_list helper before let-rec block; ho_setup_dispatch wraps all 7 coll bindings;
+      seq-to-list/sequence-to-list/vector/length/ref/append/in-range in sx_primitives.ml.
+      4385/1080 (all failures pre-existing hs-*/regex; 0 regressions).
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: update.
+      Already done in Spec step (da4b526a) — sx-browser.js rebuilt with seqToList/sequenceToList/
+      sequenceToVector/sequenceLength/sequenceRef/sequenceAppend/inRange. 2137/2500 JS tests pass.
+- [x] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-sequences.sx` — map over vector, filter over
+      range, for-each over string chars, sequence-append, sequence->list/vector coercions.
+      45 tests all passing: JS 2185/2498 (+48), OCaml 4424/1087 (+39). Fixed: vector? rename
+      (isVector), vectorLength/vectorRef/reverse aliases, in-range letrec→build-range,
+      sequence-length nil=0, assert-equal for list comparisons. Committed 0fe00bf7.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: sequence protocol — polymorphic map/filter/for-each over list/vector/range`
+      Work landed across da4b526a (Spec), 7286629c (OCaml), 06a3eee1 (JS bootstrap), 0fe00bf7 (Tests).
+

+
+## Phase 12 — gensym + symbol interning
+
+Unique symbol generation. Tiny to implement; broadly needed: Prolog uses it for fresh
+variable names, Common Lisp uses it constantly in macros, any hygienic macro system needs
+it, and Smalltalk uses it for anonymous class/method naming.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `gensym` `[prefix]` → unique symbol, e.g. `g42`, `var-17`. Counter-based, monotonically increasing.
+- `symbol-interned?` `s` → bool — whether the symbol is in the global intern table
+- `intern` `str` → symbol — intern a string as a symbol (string->symbol already exists; this is
+  the explicit interning operation for languages that distinguish interned vs uninterned)
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add `gensym` counter to evaluator state; implement in `spec/evaluator.sx`.
+      `string->symbol` already exists — `gensym` is just a counter-suffixed variant.
+      Added *gensym-counter*/gensym/string->symbol/symbol->string/intern/symbol-interned? to
+      evaluator.sx. Added string->symbol/symbol->string transpiler renames + platform.py aliases.
+      JS 2186/+1. OCaml builds. Committed edf4e525.
+- [x] OCaml: add global gensym counter; implement primitives.
+      gensym_counter ref + gensym/string->symbol/symbol->string/intern/symbol-interned? in sx_primitives.ml.
+      Also fixed ListRef case in seq_to_list (both sx_ref.ml + sx_primitives.ml). 4431/1080 (was 4385/1080).
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement.
+      Already done in Spec step. JS 2186/2497, all sequence tests pass.
+- [x] Tests: 15+ tests in `spec/tests/test-gensym.sx` — uniqueness, prefix, symbol?, string->symbol round-trip.
+      19 tests. OCaml 4450/1080, JS 2205/2497, zero regressions.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: gensym + symbol interning` — 0862a614
+
+---
+
+## Phase 13 — Character type
+
+Common Lisp and Haskell have a distinct `Char` type that is not a string. Without it both
+implementations are approximations — CL's `#\a` literal and Haskell's `'a'` both need a
+real char value, not a length-1 string.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `char?` `v` → bool
+- `char->integer` `c` → Unicode codepoint integer
+- `integer->char` `n` → char
+- `char=?` `char<?` `char>?` `char<=?` `char>=?` → comparators
+- `char-ci=?` `char-ci<?` etc. → case-insensitive comparators
+- `char-alphabetic?` `char-numeric?` `char-whitespace?` → predicates
+- `char-upper-case?` `char-lower-case?` → predicates
+- `char-upcase` `char-downcase` → char → char
+- `string->list` extended to return chars (not length-1 strings)
+- `list->string` accepting chars
+
+Also: `#\a` reader syntax for char literals (parser addition).
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add `SxChar` type to evaluator; add char literal syntax `#\a`/`#\space`/`#\newline`
+      to `spec/parser.sx`; implement all predicates + comparators.
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxChar of char` to `sx_types.ml`; implement primitives.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement char type wrapping a codepoint integer.
+- [x] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-chars.sx` — literals, char->integer round-trip,
+      comparators, predicates, upcase/downcase, string<->list with chars.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: character type (char? char->integer #\\a literals + predicates)`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 14 — String ports
+
+Needed for any language with a reader protocol: Common Lisp's `read`, Prolog's term parser,
+Smalltalk's `printString`. Without string ports these all do their own character walking
+on raw strings rather than treating a string as an I/O stream.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `open-input-string` `str` → input port
+- `open-output-string` → output port
+- `get-output-string` `port` → string (flush output port to string)
+- `input-port?` `output-port?` `port?` → predicates
+- `read-char` `[port]` → char or eof-object
+- `peek-char` `[port]` → char or eof-object (non-consuming)
+- `read-line` `[port]` → string or eof-object
+- `write-char` `char` `[port]` → void
+- `write-string` `str` `[port]` → void
+- `eof-object` → the eof sentinel
+- `eof-object?` `v` → bool
+- `close-port` `port` → void
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add port type + eof-object to evaluator; implement all primitives.
+      Ports are mutable objects with a position cursor (input) or accumulation buffer (output).
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxPort` variant covering string-input-port and string-output-port;
+      Buffer.t for output, string+offset for input.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement port type.
+- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-ports.sx` — open/read/peek/eof, output accumulation,
+      read-line, write-char, close.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: string ports (open-input-string/open-output-string/read-char/etc)` — 3d8937d7

+
+## Phase 15 — Math completeness
+
+Filling specific gaps that multiple language implementations need.
+
+### 15a — modulo / remainder / quotient distinction
+They differ on negative numbers — critical for Erlang `rem`, Haskell `mod`/`rem`, CL `mod`/`rem`:
+- `quotient` `a` `b` → truncate toward zero (same sign as dividend)
+- `remainder` `a` `b` → sign follows dividend (truncation division)
+- `modulo` `a` `b` → sign follows divisor (floor division) — R7RS
+
+### 15b — Trigonometry and transcendentals
+Lua, Haskell, Erlang, CL all need: `sin`, `cos`, `tan`, `asin`, `acos`, `atan`, `exp`,
+`log`, `sqrt`, `expt`. Check which are already present; add missing ones.
+
+### 15c — GCD / LCM
+`gcd` `a` `b` → greatest common divisor; `lcm` `a` `b` → least common multiple.
+Needed by Haskell `Rational`, CL, and any language doing fraction arithmetic.
+
+### 15d — Radix number parsing / formatting
+`(number->string n radix)` → e.g. `(number->string 255 16)` → `"ff"`.
+`(string->number s radix)` → e.g. `(string->number "ff" 16)` → `255`.
+Needed by: Common Lisp, Smalltalk, Erlang integer formatting.
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Audit which trig / math functions are already in `spec/primitives.sx`; note gaps.
+- [x] Spec + OCaml + JS: implement missing trig (`sin`/`cos`/`tan`/`asin`/`acos`/`atan`/`exp`/`log`).
+- [x] Spec + OCaml + JS: `quotient`/`remainder`/`modulo` with correct negative semantics.
+- [x] Spec + OCaml + JS: `gcd`/`lcm`.
+- [x] Spec + OCaml + JS: radix variants of `number->string`/`string->number`.
+- [x] Tests: 40+ tests in `spec/tests/test-math.sx`.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: math completeness — trig, quotient/remainder/modulo, gcd/lcm, radix`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 16 — Rational numbers
+
+Haskell's `Rational` type and Common Lisp ratios (`1/3`) both need this. Natural extension
+of the numeric tower (Phase 2) — rationals are the third numeric type alongside int and float.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `make-rational` `numerator` `denominator` → rational (auto-reduced by GCD)
+- `rational?` `v` → bool
+- `numerator` `r` → integer
+- `denominator` `r` → integer
+- Reader syntax: `1/3` parsed as rational literal
+- Arithmetic: `(+ 1/3 1/6)` → `1/2`; `(* 1/3 3)` → `1`; mixed int/rational → rational
+- `exact->inexact` on rational → float; `inexact->exact` on float → rational approximation
+- `(number->string 1/3)` → `"1/3"`
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add `SxRational` type; add `n/d` reader syntax to `spec/parser.sx`; extend
+      all arithmetic primitives for rational contagion (int op rational → rational, rational
+      op float → float).
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxRational of int * int` (stored in reduced form); implement all arithmetic.
+      as_number + safe_eq extended for cross-type rational equality (= 2.5 5/2) → true.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement rational type.
+      JS keeps int/int → float for CSS backward compatibility; SxRational class with _rational marker.
+- [x] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-rationals.sx` — literals, arithmetic, reduction,
+      mixed numeric tower, exact<->inexact conversion. 62 tests, all pass.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: rational numbers — 1/3 literals, arithmetic, numeric tower integration`
+      Committed 036022cc. JS: 2232 passed. OCaml: 4532 passed (+11).

+
+## Phase 17 — read / write / display
+
+Completes the I/O model. Builds on string ports (Phase 14) and char type (Phase 13).
+`read` parses any SX value from a port; `write` serializes with quoting (round-trippable);
+`display` serializes without quoting (human-readable). Common Lisp's `read` macro,
+Prolog term I/O, and Smalltalk's `printString` all need this.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `read` `[port]` → SX value or eof-object — full SX parser reading from a port
+- `read-char` already in Phase 14; `read` uses it internally
+- `write` `val` `[port]` → void — serializes with quotes: `"hello"`, `#\a`, `(1 2 3)`
+- `display` `val` `[port]` → void — serializes without quotes: `hello`, `a`, `(1 2 3)`
+- `newline` `[port]` → void — writes `\n`
+- `write-to-string` `val` → string — convenience: `(write val (open-output-string))`
+- `display-to-string` `val` → string — convenience
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: implement `read` in `spec/evaluator.sx` — wraps the existing parser to read
+      one datum from a port cursor; handles eof gracefully.
+- [x] Spec: implement `write`/`display`/`newline` — extend the existing serializer for
+      port output; `write` quotes strings + uses `#\` for chars, `display` does not.
+- [x] OCaml: wire `read` through port type; implement `write`/`display` output path.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement.
+- [x] Tests: 25+ tests in `spec/tests/test-read-write.sx` — read string literal, read list,
+      read eof, write round-trip, display vs write quoting, newline, write-to-string.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: read/write/display — S-expression reader/writer on ports`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 18 — Sets
+
+O(1) membership testing. Distinct from hash tables (unkeyed) and lists (O(n)).
+Erlang has sets as a stdlib staple, Haskell `Data.Set`, APL uses set operations
+constantly, Common Lisp has `union`/`intersection` on lists but a native set is O(1).
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `make-set` `[list]` → fresh set, optionally seeded from list
+- `set?` `v` → bool
+- `set-add!` `s` `val` → void
+- `set-member?` `s` `val` → bool
+- `set-remove!` `s` `val` → void
+- `set-size` `s` → integer
+- `set->list` `s` → list (unspecified order)
+- `list->set` `lst` → set
+- `set-union` `s1` `s2` → new set
+- `set-intersection` `s1` `s2` → new set
+- `set-difference` `s1` `s2` → new set (elements in s1 not in s2)
+- `set-for-each` `s` `fn` → iterate for side effects
+- `set-map` `s` `fn` → new set of mapped values
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add entries to `spec/primitives.sx`.
+- [x] OCaml: implement using `Hashtbl.t` with unit values (or a proper `Set` functor
+      with a comparison function); add `SxSet` to `sx_types.ml`.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement using JS `Set`.
+- [x] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-sets.sx` — add/member/remove, union/intersection/
+      difference, list conversion, for-each, size.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: sets (make-set/set-add!/set-member?/union/intersection/etc)`
+

+
+## Phase 19 — Regular expressions as primitives
+
+`lib/js/regex.sx` is a pure-SX regex engine already written. Promoting it to a primitive
+gives every language free regex without reinventing: Lua patterns, Tcl `regexp`, Ruby regex,
+JS regex, Erlang `re` module. Mostly a wiring job — the implementation exists.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `make-regexp` `pattern` `[flags]` → regexp object (`flags`: `"i"` case-insensitive, `"g"` global, `"m"` multiline)
+- `regexp?` `v` → bool
+- `regexp-match` `re` `str` → match dict `{:match "..." :start N :end N :groups (...)}` or nil
+- `regexp-match-all` `re` `str` → list of match dicts
+- `regexp-replace` `re` `str` `replacement` → string with first match replaced
+- `regexp-replace-all` `re` `str` `replacement` → string with all matches replaced
+- `regexp-split` `re` `str` → list of strings (split on matches)
+- Reader syntax: `#/pattern/flags` for regexp literals (parser addition)
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Audit `lib/js/regex.sx` — understand the API it already exposes; map to the
+      primitive API above.
+- [x] Spec: add `SxRegexp` type to evaluator; add `#/pattern/flags` literal syntax to
+      `spec/parser.sx`; wire `lib/js/regex.sx` engine as the implementation.
+- [x] OCaml: implement using OCaml `Re` library (or `Str`); add `SxRegexp` to types.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: use native JS `RegExp`; wrap in the primitive API.
+- [x] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-regexp.sx` — basic match, groups, replace,
+      replace-all, split, flags (case-insensitive), no-match nil return.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: regular expressions (make-regexp/regexp-match/regexp-replace + #/pat/ literals)`
+

+
+## Phase 20 — Bytevectors
+
+R7RS standard. Needed for WebSocket binary frames (E36), binary protocol parsing, and
+efficient string encoding. Also the foundation for proper Unicode: `string->utf8` /
+`utf8->string` require a byte array type.
+
+Primitives to add:
+- `make-bytevector` `n` `[fill]` → bytevector of n bytes (fill defaults to 0)
+- `bytevector?` `v` → bool
+- `bytevector-length` `bv` → integer
+- `bytevector-u8-ref` `bv` `i` → byte 0–255
+- `bytevector-u8-set!` `bv` `i` `byte` → void
+- `bytevector-copy` `bv` `[start]` `[end]` → fresh copy
+- `bytevector-copy!` `dst` `at` `src` `[start]` `[end]` → in-place copy
+- `bytevector-append` `bv...` → concatenated bytevector
+- `utf8->string` `bv` `[start]` `[end]` → string decoded as UTF-8
+- `string->utf8` `str` `[start]` `[end]` → bytevector UTF-8 encoded
+- `bytevector->list` / `list->bytevector` → conversion
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: add `SxBytevector` type; implement all primitives in `spec/evaluator.sx` / `spec/primitives.sx`.
+- [x] OCaml: add `SxBytevector of bytes` to `sx_types.ml`; implement primitives using
+      OCaml `Bytes`.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: implement using `Uint8Array`.
+- [x] Tests: 30+ tests in `spec/tests/test-bytevectors.sx` — construction, ref/set, copy,
+      append, utf8 round-trip, slice.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: bytevectors (make-bytevector/u8-ref/u8-set!/utf8->string/etc)`
+
+---
+
+## Phase 21 — format
+
+CL-style string formatting beyond `str`. `(format "Hello ~a, age ~d" name age)`.
+Haskell `printf`, Erlang `io:format`, CL `format`, and general string templating all use this idiom.
+
+Directives:
+- `~a` — display (no quotes)
+- `~s` — write (with quotes)
+- `~d` — decimal integer
+- `~x` — hexadecimal integer
+- `~o` — octal integer
+- `~b` — binary integer
+- `~f` — fixed-point float
+- `~e` — scientific notation float
+- `~%` — newline
+- `~&` — fresh line (newline only if not already at start of line)
+- `~~` — literal tilde
+- `~t` — tab
+
+Signature: `(format template arg...)` → string.
+Optional: `(format port template arg...)` — write to port directly.
+
+Steps:
+- [x] Spec: implement `format` as a pure SX function in `spec/stdlib.sx` — parses
+      `~X` directives, dispatches to `display`/`write`/`number->string` as appropriate.
+      Pure SX: no host calls needed. Self-hosting — uses string-buffer (Phase 5) internally.
+- [x] OCaml: expose as a primitive (or let it run as SX through the evaluator).
+      Added format-decimal OCaml primitive; fixed lib/r7rs.sx number->string to support radix.
+- [x] JS bootstrapper: same.
+- [x] Tests: 28 tests in `spec/tests/test-format.sx` — each directive, multiple args,
+      nested format, `~~` escape. 28/28 pass on both JS and OCaml.
+- [x] Commit: `spec: format — CL-style string formatting (~a ~s ~d ~x ~% etc)` — 4d7b3e29
+
+---
+
+## Phase 22 — Language sweep
+
+Replace workarounds with primitives. One language per fire (or per sub-item for big ones).
+Start with blank slates (CL, APL, Ruby, Tcl) — they haven't committed to workarounds yet.
+
+**Scope per language:** only `lib/<lang>/**`. Don't touch spec or other languages.
+Brief each language's loop agent (or do inline) after rebasing their branch onto architecture.
+
+- [x] Restart CL/APL/Ruby/Tcl loops with updated briefing pointing to new primitives.
+      Added `## SX primitive baseline` section to plans/common-lisp-on-sx.md,
+      plans/apl-on-sx.md, plans/ruby-on-sx.md, plans/tcl-on-sx.md. f43659ce.

+
+- [x] Lua: vectors for arrays; hash tables for Lua tables; `delay`/`force` for lazy iterators;
+      regexp for Lua pattern matching; trig from math completeness; bytevectors for binary I/O.
+      math/string/table stdlib tables + lua-force. 185/185 pass. ec3512d6.
+
+- [x] Erlang: numeric tower for float/int; bitwise ops for bitmatch; multiple values for
+      multi-return; sets for Erlang sets; `remainder` for `rem`; regexp for `re` module.
+      lib/erlang/runtime.sx (63 forms) + test.sh (55/55 pass). 3c0a9632.

+
+- [x] JS: vectors for Array; hash tables for `Map`; sets for `Set`; bitwise ops for typed
+      arrays; regexp for JS regex; bytevectors for `Uint8Array`; radix formatting.
+      lib/js/stdlib.sx (36 forms) + test.sh epochs 6000-6032 (25/25 pass). COMMIT.
+
+- [x] Smalltalk: vectors for `Array new:`; hash tables for `Dictionary new`; sets for

+
+- [x] APL: vectors as core array type; bitwise ops for array masks; sets for APL set ops;
+      sequence protocol for rank-polymorphic operations; format for APL output formatting.
+      lib/apl/runtime.sx (60 forms) + tests/runtime.sx (73/73 pass). COMMIT.
+
+- [x] Ruby: coroutines for fibers; hash tables for `Hash`; sets for `Set`; regexp for
+      Ruby regex; string ports for `StringIO`; bytevectors for `String` binary encoding.
+      lib/ruby/runtime.sx (61 forms) + tests/runtime.sx (76/76 pass). COMMIT.
+      Note: rb-fiber-yield from letrec-bound lambdas fails (JIT VM can't invoke callcc
+      continuations as escapes); workaround: use top-level helper fns for recursive yields.
+
+- [x] Tcl: string ports for Tcl channel abstraction; string-buffer for `append`; coroutines

+
+---
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- Work on the `architecture` branch in `/root/rose-ash` (main worktree).
+- Use sx-tree MCP for all `.sx` file edits. Never use raw Edit/Write/Read on `.sx` files.
+- Commit after each concrete unit of work. Never leave the branch broken.
+- Never push to `main` — only push to `origin/architecture`.
+- Update this checklist every fire: tick `[x]` done, add inline notes on blockers.
+

+- 2026-05-01: Phase 22 JS done — stdlib.sx (36 forms): bitwise (truncate not js-num-to-int; set-member? takes (set item) order), Map (dict-backed pairs), Set (SX make-set), RegExp (callable lambda). 25/25 new tests pass; total 492/585. COMMIT.
+- 2026-05-01: Phase 22 Haskell done — runtime.sx (113 forms): numeric tower (hk-div floor semantics), rational (dict GCD-normalised), hk-force (promises), Data.Char, Data.Set, Data.List, Maybe/Either, tuples, string helpers, hk-show. 148/148 tests. c02ffcf3.

+- 2026-05-01: Phase 22 step 1 — SX primitive baseline added to CL/APL/Ruby/Tcl plans. f43659ce.
+- 2026-05-01: Phase 21 complete — format (~a ~s ~d ~x ~o ~b ~f ~% ~& ~~ ~t) as pure SX in spec/stdlib.sx. Fixed lib/r7rs.sx number->string to support optional radix; added format-decimal OCaml primitive. 28/28 tests on both JS and OCaml. 4d7b3e29.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 7 complete — bitwise-and/or/xor/not + arithmetic-shift + bit-count + integer-length. OCaml: land/lor/lxor/lnot/lsl/asr + Kernighan popcount + lsr loop for integer-length. JS: bitwise ops + Hamming weight + Math.clz32. 26 tests, 158 assertions, all pass. a8a79dc9.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 complete — JS+Tests+Commit all ticked. JS needed no changes (spec-level forms). 40/40 ADT tests pass JS. 2032/2500 JS total (+67 vs phase-4). Phase 6 fully landed: 6c872107+0dc7e159+5d1913e7. Phase 7 (bitwise) next.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 OCaml done — Dict-based ADT (no native SxAdt type needed); hand-written sf_define_type in bootstrap.py FIXUPS (skipped from transpile — &rest params + empty-dict {} literals); registered via register_special_form; step_limit/step_count added to PREAMBLE. 172 assertions pass (test-adt). Full suite 4280/1080 (was 4243/1117, +37). Committed 5d1913e7.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 Spec match done — ADT case added to match-pattern in spec/evaluator.sx: checks (list? pattern)+(symbol? first)+(dict? value)+(get value :_adt), then matches :_ctor+arity and recursively binds field patterns. No-clause error now uses make-cek-value+raise-eval-frame so guard can catch it. 20 new match tests pass; 40/40 total ADT tests green. Zero regressions.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 Spec define-type done — sf-define-type registered via register-special-form! in spec/evaluator.sx; AdtValue as {:_adt true :_type "..." :_ctor "..." :_fields (list ...)}; ctor fns + arity checking + Name?/Ctor? predicates + Ctor-field accessors; *adt-registry* dict populated per define-type call. 20/20 JS tests pass in spec/tests/test-adt.sx. OCaml define-type is next task.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 6 Design done — plans/designs/sx-adt.md written. Covers define-type/match syntax, AdtValue CEK runtime, stepSfDefineType+MatchFrame dispatch, exhaustiveness warnings, recursive types, nested patterns, wildcard _. 3-phase impl plan. Next fire: Spec implement define-type.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 5 complete — string buffer fully landed (d98b5fa2). 17 tests, 17/17 OCaml+JS. Phase 6 (ADTs) next.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 5 Spec+OCaml+JS step done — StringBuffer of Buffer.t in sx_types.ml; make-string-buffer/append!/->string/length/string-buffer? in sx_primitives.ml; SxStringBuffer with _string_buffer marker + typeOf/dict? fixes in platform.py; JS rebuilt. 17/17 tests OCaml+JS.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 complete — coroutine primitive fully landed (4 commits: spec library + OCaml verified + JS pre-load + 27 tests). Phase 5 (string buffer) next.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 Tests step done — 27 tests total (10 new: state field inspection, yield-from-helper, initial-arg-ignored, mutable-closure, complex-values, round-robin, factory-no-state, non-coroutine-error). 27/27 OCaml+JS.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 JS step done — all CEK primitives already in sx-browser.js; fix was pre-loading spec/coroutines.sx+spec/signals.sx in run_tests.js so (import (sx coroutines)) resolves synchronously. 17/17 coroutine tests pass JS. 1965/2500 total (+25), zero new failures.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 OCaml step done — no native SxCoroutine type needed; existing cek-step-loop/cek-resume/perform/make-cek-state primitives in run_tests.ml fully support the spec/coroutines.sx library. 284/284 pass (coroutines+vectors+numeric-tower+dynamic-wind), zero regressions.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 4 Spec step done — spec/coroutines.sx define-library with make-coroutine/coroutine-resume/coroutine-yield/coroutine?/coroutine-alive?; make-coroutine stub in evaluator.sx; 17/17 coroutine tests pass (OCaml). Key insight: coroutine body must use (define loop (fn...)) + (loop 0) not named let — named let uses cek_call→cek_run which errors on IO suspension.
+- 2026-05-01: Phase 10 complete — mutable hash tables. HashTable variant in OCaml; JS Map-based SxHashTable. 11 primitives: make-hash-table/hash-table?/set!/ref/delete!/size/keys/values/->alist/for-each/merge!. 28 tests, all pass OCaml+JS. 133bdf52.
+- 2026-05-01: Phase 9 complete — delay/force/delay-force/make-promise/promise?. Dict-based promise {:_promise :forced :thunk :value}; :_iterative flag for delay-force chain following. 25/25 tests OCaml (4357) and JS (2109). Committed e44cb89a.
+- 2026-05-01: Phase 8 complete — values/call-with-values/let-values/define-values. Dict marker {:_values true :_list [...]} (no new type). step-sf-define desugars shorthand (define (f x) body) on both hosts. 25/25 tests OCaml+JS. Committed 43cc1d90.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 3 complete — OCaml+JS done. CallccContinuation gains winders-depth int; make_callcc_continuation/callcc_continuation_winders_len wired; wind-after/wind-return CekFrame fields fixed (cf_f=after-thunk, cf_extra=winders-len, cf_name=body-result); get_val + transpiler.sx updated. 8/8 dynamic-wind tests pass on OCaml; 235/235 (callcc+guard+do+r7rs) zero regressions. Committed 6602ec8c.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 3 Spec+Tests done — dynamic-wind CEK implementation: wind-after/wind-return frames, *winders* stack, kont-unwind-to-handler, wind-escape-to. callcc frame stores winders-len in continuation; callcc-continuation? calls wind-escape-to before escape. 8/8 dynamic-wind tests pass (normal return, raise, call/cc, nested LIFO, guard ordering). 1948/2500 JS (+8). Zero regressions. Committed a9d5a108.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 complete — Verify+Commit done. OCaml 4874/394, JS 1940/2500 (+60). No regressions. 6 JS-only failures are float≡int platform-inherent. Phase 2 fully landed across 4 commits.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 JS bootstrapper done — integer?/float?/exact?/inexact? added (Number.isInteger); truncate/remainder/modulo/random-int/exact->inexact/inexact->exact/parse-number added. Fixed sx_server.ml epoch+blob+io-response protocol for Integer type. JS: 1940/2500 (+60). OCaml: 4874/394 baseline. 6 JS tests fail (JS float≡int platform limit). Committed b12a22e6.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 Spec done — integer?/float? predicates added to spec/primitives.sx; floor/ceil/truncate :returns updated to "integer"; / to "float"; exact->inexact/inexact->exact docs and returns updated; float contagion documented on +/-/*; 4874/394 baseline. Committed 45ec5535.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 2 OCaml+Tests done — `Integer of int` / `Number of float` in sx_types.ml; float contagion across all arithmetic; floor/truncate/round → Integer; integer?/float?/exact?/inexact?/exact->inexact/inexact->exact; 92/92 numeric tower tests pass; 4874 total (394 pre-existing unchanged). Committed c70bbdeb.
+- 2026-04-26: Phase 1 complete — JS step done. Fixed fundamental lambda binding bug (index-of on arrays returned -1 not NIL, making bind-lambda-params mis-fire &rest branch).

+- **Scope:** only `lib/ruby/**` and `plans/ruby-on-sx.md`. Do **not** edit `spec/`, `hosts/`, `shared/`, other `lib/<lang>/` dirs, `lib/stdlib.sx`, or `lib/` root. Ruby primitives go in `lib/ruby/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.
+
+## 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.
+- `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/ruby-on-sx.md` inline.
+- Short, factual commit messages (`ruby: Fiber.yield + Fiber.resume (+8)`).
+- One feature per iteration. Commit. Log. Next.

+
+## 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/parser.sx      — right-to-left with valence resolution (mon vs dyadic by position)
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/apl/transpile.sx   — AST → SX AST (entry: apl-eval-ast)
+    │
+    ▼
+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 `⍝ …`
+- [ ] Parser: right-to-left; classify each token as function, operator, value, or name; resolve valence positionally; dfn `{…}` body, tradfn `∇` header, guards `:`, control words `:If :While :For …` (Dyalog-style)
+- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/apl/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — array model + scalar primitives
+- [ ] Array constructor: `make-array shape ravel`, `scalar v`, `vector v…`, `enclose`/`disclose`
+- [ ] Shape arithmetic: `⍴` (shape), `,` (ravel), `≢` (tally / first-axis-length), `≡` (depth)
+- [ ] Scalar arithmetic primitives broadcast: `+ - × ÷ ⌈ ⌊ * ⍟ | ! ○`
+- [ ] Scalar comparison primitives: `< ≤ = ≥ > ≠`
+- [ ] Scalar logical: `~ ∧ ∨ ⍱ ⍲`
+- [ ] Index generator: `⍳n` (vector 1..n or 0..n-1 depending on `⎕IO`)
+- [ ] `⎕IO` = 1 default (Dyalog convention)
+- [ ] 40+ tests in `lib/apl/tests/scalar.sx`
+
+### Phase 3 — structural primitives + indexing
+- [ ] Reshape `⍴`, ravel `,`, transpose `⍉` (full + dyadic axis spec)

+# 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.
+
+## Architecture sketch
+
+```
+Common Lisp source
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/common-lisp/reader.sx     — tokenizer + reader (read macros, dispatch chars)
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/common-lisp/parser.sx     — AST: forms, declarations, lambda lists
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/common-lisp/transpile.sx  — AST → SX AST (entry: cl-eval-ast)
+    │
+    ▼
+lib/common-lisp/runtime.sx    — special forms, condition system, CLOS, packages, BIFs
+```
+
+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
+

+# SX Algebraic Data Types — Design
+
+## Motivation
+
+Every language implementation currently uses `{:tag "..." :field ...}` tagged dicts to
+simulate sum types. This is verbose, error-prone (typos in tag strings go undetected), and
+produces no exhaustiveness warnings. Native ADTs eliminate the pattern everywhere.
+
+Examples of current workarounds:
+- Haskell `Maybe a` → `{:tag "Just" :value x}` / `{:tag "Nothing"}`
+- Prolog terms → `{:tag "functor" :name "foo" :args (list x y)}`
+- Lua result type → `{:tag "ok" :value v}` / `{:tag "err" :msg s}`
+- Common Lisp `cons` pairs → `{:tag "cons" :car a :cdr b}`
+
+---
+
+## Syntax
+
+### `define-type`
+
+```lisp
+(define-type Name
+  (Ctor1 field1 field2 ...)
+  (Ctor2 field1 ...)
+  ...)
+```
+
+Creates:
+- Constructor functions: `Ctor1`, `Ctor2`, … (callable like normal functions)
+- Type predicate: `Name?` — returns true for any value of type `Name`
+- Constructor predicates: `Ctor1?`, `Ctor2?`, … (optional, auto-generated)
+- Field accessors: `Ctor1-field1`, `Ctor1-field2`, … (optional, auto-generated)
+
+Examples:
+
+```lisp
+(define-type Maybe
+  (Just value)
+  (Nothing))
+
+(define-type Result
+  (Ok value)
+  (Err message))
+
+(define-type Tree
+  (Leaf)
+  (Node left value right))
+
+(define-type List-of
+  (Nil-of)
+  (Cons-of head tail))
+```
+
+Constructors with no fields are zero-argument constructors (singletons by value):
+
+```lisp
+(Nothing)     ; => #<Nothing>
+(Leaf)        ; => #<Leaf>
+```
+
+### `match`
+
+```lisp
+(match expr
+  ((Ctor1 a b) body)
+  ((Ctor2 x)   body)
+  ((Ctor3)     body)
+  (else        body))
+```
+
+- Clauses are tried in order; first match wins.
+- `else` clause is optional but suppresses exhaustiveness warnings.
+- Pattern variables (`a`, `b`, `x`) are bound in the body scope.
+- Wildcard `_` discards the matched value.
+- Literal patterns: `42`, `"str"`, `true`, `nil` — match by value equality.
+- Nested patterns: `((Node left (Leaf) right) body)` — nested constructor patterns.
+
+Examples:
+
+```lisp
+(match result
+  ((Ok v)  (str "got: " v))
+  ((Err m) (str "error: " m)))
+
+(match tree
+  ((Leaf)        0)
+  ((Node l v r)  (+ 1 (tree-depth l) (tree-depth r))))
+```
+
+---
+
+## CEK Dispatch
+
+### Runtime representation
+
+ADT values are OCaml records (not dicts) — opaque, non-inspectable via `get`:
+
+```ocaml
+type adt_value = {
+  av_type  : string;   (* type name, e.g. "Maybe" *)
+  av_ctor  : string;   (* constructor name, e.g. "Just" *)
+  av_fields: value array;  (* positional fields *)
+}
+```
+
+In JS: `{ _adt: true, _type: "Maybe", _ctor: "Just", _fields: [v] }`.
+
+`typeOf` returns the ADT type name (e.g. `"Maybe"`).
+
+### `define-type` — special form
+
+`stepSfDefineType(args, env, kont)`:
+
+1. Parse `Name` and list of `(CtorN field...)` clauses.
+2. For each constructor `CtorK` with fields `[f1, f2, …]`:
+   - Register `CtorK` as a `NativeFn` that takes `|fields|` args and returns an `AdtValue`.
+   - Register `CtorK?` as a predicate (`AdtValue` with matching ctor name → `true`).
+   - Register `CtorK-fN` as field accessor (returns `av_fields[N]`).
+3. Register `Name?` as a predicate (`AdtValue` with matching type name → `true`).
+4. All bindings go into the current environment via `env-bind!`.
+5. Returns `Nil`.
+
+This is an environment mutation — no new frame needed. Evaluates in one step.
+
+### `match` — special form
+
+`stepSfMatch(args, env, kont)`:
+
+1. Push `MatchFrame` with `clauses` and `env` onto kont.
+2. Return state evaluating the scrutinee `expr`.
+3. `MatchFrame` continue: receive scrutinee value, walk clauses:
+   - For each `((CtorN vars...) body)`:
+     - If scrutinee is an `AdtValue` with `av_ctor = "CtorN"` and `av_fields.length = |vars|`:
+       - Bind `vars[i]` → `av_fields[i]` in fresh child env.
+       - Return state evaluating `body` in that env.
+   - `(else body)` — always matches, body evaluated in current env.
+   - Literal `42`/`"str"` patterns: match by value equality.
+   - Wildcard `_`: always matches, binds nothing.
+4. If no clause matched and no `else`: raise `"match: no clause matched <value>"`.
+
+Frame type: `"match"` — stores `cf_remaining` (clauses), `cf_env` (enclosing env).
+
+---
+
+## Interaction with `cond` / `case`
+
+`match` is the primary dispatch form for ADTs. `cond` / `case` remain unchanged:
+
+- `cond` tests arbitrary boolean expressions — still useful for non-ADT dispatch.
+- `case` matches on equality to literal values — unchanged.
+- `match` is the new form: structural pattern matching on ADT constructors.
+
+They are orthogonal. A `match` clause can contain a `cond`; a `cond` clause can contain a `match`.
+
+---
+
+## Exhaustiveness checking
+
+Emit a **warning** (not an error) when:
+- A `match` has no `else` clause, AND
+- Not all constructors of the scrutinee's type are covered.
+
+Detection: when `define-type` runs, it registers the constructor set in a global table
+`_adt_registry: type_name → [ctor_names]`. At `match` compile/evaluation time:
+- If the scrutinee's type is in `_adt_registry` and not all ctors appear as patterns:
+  - `console.warn("[sx] match: non-exhaustive — missing: Ctor3, Ctor4 for type Maybe")`
+  - Execution continues (warning, not error).
+
+This is best-effort: the scrutinee type is only known at runtime. The warning fires on
+first non-exhaustive match evaluation, not at definition time.
+
+---
+
+## Recursive types
+
+Recursive types work because constructors are registered as functions, and function bodies
+are evaluated lazily:
+
+```lisp
+(define-type Tree
+  (Leaf)
+  (Node left value right))
+
+; Recursive function over a recursive type:
+(define (depth tree)
+  (match tree
+    ((Leaf)        0)
+    ((Node l v r)  (+ 1 (max (depth l) (depth r))))))
+```
+
+No special treatment needed — the type definition doesn't need to know about recursion.
+The constructor `Node` accepts any values, including other `Node` or `Leaf` values.
+
+---
+
+## Pattern variables
+
+In `match` clauses, identifiers in constructor position that are NOT constructor names are
+treated as pattern variables (bound to matched field values):
+
+```lisp
+(match x
+  ((Just v)    v)          ; v bound to the wrapped value
+  ((Nothing)   nil))
+
+(match pair
+  ((Cons-of h t)  (list h t)))  ; h, t bound to head and tail
+```
+
+**Wildcard**: `_` is always a wildcard — matches anything, binds nothing.
+
+```lisp
+(match x
+  ((Just _)    "has value")
+  ((Nothing)   "empty"))
+```
+
+**Nested patterns**:
+
+```lisp
+(match tree
+  ((Node (Leaf) v (Leaf))  (str "leaf node: " v))
+  ((Node l v r)             (str "inner node: " v)))
+```
+
+Nested patterns are matched recursively: the inner `(Leaf)` pattern checks that the
+`left` field is itself a `Leaf` ADT value.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 6a — `define-type` + basic `match` (no nested patterns, no exhaustiveness)
+
+1. OCaml: add `AdtValue of adt_value` to `sx_types.ml`.
+2. Evaluator: add `step-sf-define-type` — parse clauses, register ctor fns + predicates + accessors.
+3. Evaluator: add `step-sf-match` + `MatchFrame` — linear scan of clauses, flat patterns only.
+4. JS: same (AdtValue as plain object with `_adt`/`_type`/`_ctor`/`_fields` props).
+
+### Phase 6b — nested patterns (separate fire)
+
+Recursive `matchPattern(pattern, value, env)` helper that:
+- Returns `{matched: bool, bindings: map}` 
+- Recursively matches sub-patterns against ADT fields.
+
+### Phase 6c — exhaustiveness warnings (separate fire)
+
+`_adt_registry` global + warning emission on first non-exhaustive match.
+
+---
+
+## Open questions (deferred to review)
+
+1. **Accessor auto-generation**: should `Ctor-field` accessors be generated always, or only on demand? Risk: name collisions if two types have constructors with same field names.
+2. **Singleton constructors**: `(Nothing)` — zero-arg ctor — should these be interned (same object every call) or fresh each time? Interning enables `eq?` checks but requires a global table.
+3. **Printing/inspect**: `inspect` on an AdtValue should show `(Just 42)` not `#<adt:Just>`. Implement in `inspect` function or via `display`/`write` (Phase 17 ports).
+4. **Pattern-matching on non-ADT values**: should `match` handle list patterns `(a . b)` and literal patterns in clause heads? Deferred — add only if needed by a language implementation.

+- [x] Binary pattern matching `<<A:8, B:16>>` — **21 new eval tests**; literal construction, byte/multi-byte segments, `Rest/binary` tail capture, `is_binary/1`, `byte_size/1`
+- [x] ETS-lite (in-memory tables via SX dicts) — **13 new eval tests**; `ets:new/2`, `insert/2`, `lookup/2`, `delete/1-2`, `tab2list/1`, `info/2` (size); set semantics with full Erlang-term keys
+- [x] More BIFs — target 200+ test corpus green — **40 new eval tests**; 530/530 total. New: `abs/1`, `min/2`, `max/2`, `tuple_to_list/1`, `list_to_tuple/1`, `integer_to_list/1`, `list_to_integer/1`, `is_function/1-2`, `lists:seq/2-3`, `lists:sum/1`, `lists:nth/2`, `lists:last/1`, `lists:member/2`, `lists:append/2`, `lists:filter/2`, `lists:any/2`, `lists:all/2`, `lists:duplicate/2`
 
 ## 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.

 ## Progress log
 
 _Newest first._
 
+- **Phase 6 close — JIT cooperation hooks (Hayes unchanged at 618/638).**
+  Every word record now carries `:vm-eligible? true` and a
+  `:call-count` counter that `forth-execute-word` bumps on every
+  invocation. The flag is a hint for downstream JIT consumers — our
+  bodies are plain SX lambdas already, so the existing SX VM's
+  on-first-call JIT lifts them into bytecode automatically; the
+  metadata just makes that fact discoverable. Added
+  `forth-hot-words state threshold` returning `(name count)`
+  pairs above a threshold so a future tracing JIT can pick out
+  hot definitions to specialise. Phase 6 boxes all ticked.
+  All 306 internal tests green; Hayes Core stays at 618/638.
+
+- **Phase 6 — TCO at colon-def endings (Hayes unchanged at 618/638).**
+  `forth-run-body` now special-cases the final op when it's a plain
+  function (not a branch dict): we call it in tail position with no
+  pc-increment and no recursive `forth-run-body` call. This means
+  the SX CEK can collapse the continuation frame, so chains like
+  `: A ... B ; : B ... C ; …` and `RECURSE` deep-recursion test
+  cases run without piling up frames at each colon-def boundary.
+  All 306 internal tests still green; verified 5000-deep
+  `COUNTDOWN RECURSE` still terminates fine.
+
+- **Phase 6 — inline primitive calls (Hayes unchanged at 618/638).**
+  `forth-compile-call` now appends the looked-up word's body fn
+  directly to the colon-def body instead of wrapping it in
+  `(fn (s) (forth-execute-word s w))`. `forth-execute-word body`
+  reduces to `((get w "body") state)`, so the wrapper added an
+  extra closure + `get` per call op for no behavioural gain. Same
+  early-binding semantics: the body fn is captured at compile time,
+  so later redefinitions of the same name don't retroactively
+  change existing definitions. All 306 internal tests still green;
+  Hayes Core stays at 618/638. Pure optimisation.
+
+- **Phase 5 close — `\` no-op + POSTPONE-immediate split + `>NUMBER` +
+  `DOES>`; Hayes 486→618 (97%).** Big closing-out iteration.
+  Made `\` IMMEDIATE so `POSTPONE \` (Hayes' IFFLOORED/IFSYM gate)
+  resolves to a runtime call rather than a current-def append, and
+  guarded the conformance preprocessor's `\`-comment strip against
+  a literal `POSTPONE \` token via `@@BS@@` masking. Split POSTPONE
+  on the target's immediacy so non-immediate targets compile a
+  two-tier appender while immediate ones compile a direct call —
+  this unblocks the large `T/`/`TMOD`/`T*/`/`T*/MOD` cluster Hayes
+  uses to detect floored vs symmetric division. `>NUMBER` walks
+  bytes via a fresh `forth-numparse-loop` + `forth-digit-of-byte`
+  helper (renamed away from reader.sx's `forth-digit-value`, which
+  expects char-strings, not codepoints — the name clash was eating
+  every digit-value call). Implemented `DOES>` by:
+  1) tracking the last CREATE on `state.last-creator`,
+  2) adding a `:kind "does-rebind"` op, and
+  3) post-processing the body in `;` to attach the slice of ops
+     after each rebind as `:deferred`. At runtime, the rebind op
+     installs a new body for the target word that pushes its
+     data-field address and runs the deferred slice. Also added
+     histogram tracking on the conformance runner so future runs
+     surface the top missing words. Hayes: 618/638 pass (97%),
+     14 fail, 6 error (5× GI5 multi-WHILE, 1× dict-set! chunk).
+
+- **Phase 5 — String word set `COMPARE`/`SEARCH`/`SLITERAL` (+9).**
+  `COMPARE` walks bytes via the new `forth-compare-bytes-loop`,
+  returning -1/0/1 with standard prefix semantics (shorter string
+  compares less than its extension). `SEARCH` scans the haystack
+  with a helper `forth-search-bytes` and `forth-match-at`, returning
+  the tail after the first match or the original string with flag=0.
+  Empty needle returns at offset 0 with flag=-1 per ANS. `SLITERAL`
+  is IMMEDIATE: pops `(c-addr u)` at compile time, copies the bytes
+  into a fresh allocation, and emits the two pushes so the compiled
+  word yields the interned string at runtime.
+
+- **Phase 5 — File Access word set (in-memory backing; +4).**
+  `OPEN-FILE`/`CREATE-FILE`/`CLOSE-FILE`/`READ-FILE`/`WRITE-FILE`/
+  `FILE-POSITION`/`FILE-SIZE`/`REPOSITION-FILE`/`DELETE-FILE` plus
+  the mode constants `R/O`/`R/W`/`W/O`/`BIN`. File handles live on
+  `state.files` (fileid → {content, pos, path}) with a
+  `state.by-path` index so `CREATE-FILE`'d files can be
+  `OPEN-FILE`'d later in the same session. Attempting to
+  `OPEN-FILE` an unknown path returns `ior != 0`; disk-backed
+  open/read is not wired because `read-file` isn't in the sx_server
+  epoch eval environment (it's bound only in the HTTP helpers).
+  Also removed the stray base-2 `BIN` primitive from Phase 4 —
+  ANS `BIN` is the file-mode modifier. Hayes Core unchanged at
+  486/638 since core.fr doesn't exercise file words.
+
+- **Phase 5 — `WITHIN`/`ABORT`/`ABORT"`/`EXIT`/`UNLOOP` (+7;
+  Hayes 477→486, 76%).** `WITHIN` uses the ANS two's-complement
+  trick: `(n1-n2) U< (n3-n2)`. `ABORT` wipes the data/return/control
+  stacks and raises — the conformance runner catches it at the
+  chunk boundary. `ABORT"` parses its message like `S"`, then at
+  runtime pops a flag and raises only if truthy. `EXIT` adds a new
+  `:kind "exit"` op that the PC-driven body runner treats as a
+  jump-to-end; added a matching cond clause in `forth-step-op`.
+  `UNLOOP` pops two from the return stack — usable paired with
+  `EXIT` to bail from inside `DO`/`LOOP`.
+
+- **Phase 5 — `[`, `]`, `STATE`, `EVALUATE` (+5; Hayes 463→477, 74%).**
+  `[` (IMMEDIATE) clears `state.compiling`, `]` sets it. `STATE`
+  pushes the sentinel address `"@@state"` and `@` reads it as
+  `-1`/`0` based on the live `compiling` flag. `EVALUATE` reads
+  the (addr,u) string from byte memory, retokenises it via
+  `forth-tokens`, swaps it in as the active input, runs the
+  interpret loop, and restores the saved input. `SOURCE` and
+  `>IN` exist as stubs that push zeros — our whitespace-tokenised
+  input has no native byte-offset, so the deeper Hayes tests
+  that re-position parsing via `>IN !` stay marked as errors
+  rather than silently misbehaving.
+
+- **Phase 5 — parsing/dictionary words `'`/`[']`/`EXECUTE`/`LITERAL`/
+  `POSTPONE`/`WORD`/`FIND`/`>BODY` (Hayes 448→463, 72%).** xt is
+  represented as the SX dict reference of the word record, so
+  `'`/`[']` push the looked-up record and `EXECUTE` calls
+  `forth-execute-word` on the popped value. `LITERAL` (IMMEDIATE)
+  pops a value at compile time and emits a push-op. `POSTPONE`
+  (IMMEDIATE) compiles into the *outer* def an op that, when run
+  during a *later* compile, appends a call-w op to whatever def is
+  current — the standard two-tier compile semantic. Added
+  `state.last-defined` tracked by every primitive/colon definition
+  so `IMMEDIATE` can target the most-recent word even after `;`
+  closes the def. CREATE now stashes its data-field address on the
+  word record so `>BODY` can recover it. `WORD`/`FIND` use the byte
+  memory and counted-string layout already in place.
+  `DOES>` is deferred — needs a runtime mechanism to rebind the
+  last-CREATE'd word's action.
+
+- **Phase 5 — pictured numeric output: `<#`/`#`/`#S`/`#>`/`HOLD`/`SIGN` +
+  `U.`/`U.R`/`.R` (+9; Hayes 446→448, 70%).** Added a `state.hold`
+  list of single-character strings — `<#` resets it, `HOLD` and
+  `SIGN` prepend, `#` divides ud by BASE and prepends one digit,
+  `#S` loops `#` until ud is zero (running once even on zero),
+  `#>` drops ud and copies the joined hold buffer into mem,
+  pushing `(addr, len)`. `U.` / `.R` / `U.R` use a separate
+  `forth-num-to-string` for one-shot decimal/hex output and
+  `forth-spaces-str` for right-justify padding.
+
+- **Phase 5 — double-cell ops `D+`/`D-`/`DNEGATE`/`DABS`/`D=`/`D<`/`D0=`/
+  `D0<`/`DMAX`/`DMIN` (+18; Hayes unchanged).** Doubles get rebuilt
+  from `(lo, hi)` cells via `forth-double-from-cells-s`, the op runs
+  in bignum, and we push back via `forth-double-push-s`. Hayes Core
+  doesn't exercise D-words (those live in Gerry Jackson's separate
+  `doublest.fth` Double word-set tests we have not vendored), so the
+  scoreboard stays at 446/638 — but the words now exist for any
+  consumer that needs them.
+
+- **Phase 5 — mixed/double-cell math; Hayes 342→446 (69%).** Added
+  `S>D`, `D>S`, `M*`, `UM*`, `UM/MOD`, `FM/MOD`, `SM/REM`, `*/`, `*/MOD`.
+  Doubles ride on the stack as `(lo, hi)` with `hi` on top.
+  Helpers `forth-double-push-{u,s}` / `forth-double-from-cells-{u,s}`
+  split & rebuild via 32-bit unsigned mod/div, picking the negative
+  path explicitly so we don't form `2^64 + small` (float precision
+  drops at ULP=2^12 once you cross 2^64). `M*`/`UM*` use bignum
+  multiply then split; `*/`/`*/MOD` use bignum intermediate and
+  truncated division. Hayes: 446 pass / 185 error / 7 fail.
+
+- **Phase 5 — memory primitives + unsigned compare; Hayes 268→342 (53%).**
+  Added `CREATE`/`HERE`/`ALLOT`/`,`/`C,`/`CELL+`/`CELLS`/`ALIGN`/`ALIGNED`/
+  `2!`/`2@`/`U<`/`U>`. Generalised `@`/`!`/`+!` to dispatch on address
+  type: string addresses still go through `state.vars` (VARIABLE/VALUE
+  cells) while integer addresses now fall through to `state.mem` —
+  letting CREATE-allocated cells coexist with existing variables.
+  Decomposed the original "Full Core + Core Extension" box into
+  smaller unticked sub-bullets so iterations land per cluster.
+  Hayes: 342 pass / 292 error / 4 fail (53%). 237/237 internal.
+
+- **Phase 4 close — LSHIFT/RSHIFT, 32-bit arith truncation, early
+  binding; Hayes 174→268 (42%).** Added `LSHIFT` / `RSHIFT` as logical
+  shifts on 32-bit unsigned values, converted through
+  `forth-to-unsigned`/`forth-from-unsigned`. All arithmetic
+  primitives (`+` `-` `*` `/` `MOD` `NEGATE` `ABS` `1+` `1-` `2+`
+  `2-` `2*` `2/`) now clip results to 32-bit signed via a new
+  `forth-clip` helper, so loop idioms that rely on `2*` shifting the
+  MSB out (e.g. Hayes' `BITS` counter) actually terminate.
+  Changed colon-def call compilation from late-binding to early
+  binding: `forth-compile-call` now resolves the target word at
+  compile time, which makes `: GDX 123 ; : GDX GDX 234 ;` behave
+  per ANS (inner `GDX` → old def, not infinite recursion). `RECURSE`
+  keeps its late-binding thunk via the new `forth-compile-recurse`
+  helper. Raised `MAX_CHUNKS` default to 638 (full `core.fr`) now
+  that the BITS and COUNT-BITS loops terminate. Hayes: 268 pass /
+  368 error / 2 fail.
+
+- **Phase 4 — `SP@`/`SP!` (+4; Hayes unchanged; `DEPTH` was already present).**
+  `SP@` pushes the current data-stack depth (our closest analogue to a
+  stack pointer — SX lists have no addressable backing). `SP!` pops a
+  target depth and truncates the stack via `drop` on the dstack list.
+  This preserves the save/restore idiom `SP@ … SP!` even though the
+  returned "pointer" is really a count.
+
+- **Phase 4 — `BASE`/`DECIMAL`/`HEX`/`BIN`/`OCTAL` (+9; Hayes unchanged).**
+  Moved `base` from its top-level state slot into `state.vars["base"]`
+  so the regular `@`/`!`/VARIABLE machinery works on it.
+  `BASE` pushes the sentinel address `"base"`; `DECIMAL`/`HEX`/`BIN`/
+  `OCTAL` are thin primitives that write into that slot. Parser
+  reads through `vars` now. Hayes unchanged because the runner had
+  already been stubbing `HEX`/`DECIMAL` — now real words, stubs
+  removed from `hayes-runner.sx`.
+
+- **Phase 4 — `CHAR`/`[CHAR]`/`KEY`/`ACCEPT` (+7 / Hayes 168→174).**
+  `CHAR` parses the next token and pushes the first-char code. `[CHAR]`
+  is IMMEDIATE: in compile mode it embeds the code as a compiled push
+  op, in interpret mode it pushes inline. `KEY`/`ACCEPT` read from an
+  optional `state.keybuf` string — empty buffer makes `KEY` raise
+  `"no input available"` (matches ANS when stdin is closed) and
+  `ACCEPT` returns `0`. Enough for Hayes to get past CHAR-gated
+  clusters; real interactive IO lands later.
+
+- **Phase 4 — strings: `S"`/`C"`/`."`/`TYPE`/`COUNT`/`CMOVE`/`CMOVE>`/`MOVE`/`FILL`/`BLANK`/`C@`/`C!`/`CHAR+`/`CHARS` (+16 / Hayes 165→168).**
+  Added a byte-addressable memory model to state: `mem` (dict keyed by
+  stringified address → integer byte) and `here` (next-free integer
+  addr). Helpers `forth-alloc-bytes!` / `forth-mem-write-string!` /
+  `forth-mem-read-string`. `S"`/`C"`/`."` are IMMEDIATE parsing words
+  that consume tokens until one ends with `"`, then either copy content
+  into memory at compile time (and emit a push of `addr`/`addr len` for
+  the colon-def body) or do it inline in interpret mode. `TYPE` emits
+  `u` bytes from `addr` via `char-from-code`. `COUNT` reads the length
+  byte at a counted-string address and pushes (`addr+1`, `u`). `FILL`,
+  `BLANK` (FILL with space), `CMOVE` (forward), `CMOVE>` (backward),
+  and `MOVE` (auto-directional) mutate the byte dict. 193/193 internal
+  tests, Hayes 168/590 (+3).
+
+- **Phase 3 — Hayes conformance runner + baseline scoreboard (165/590, 28%).**
+  `lib/forth/conformance.sh` preprocesses `ans-tests/core.fr` (strips `\`
+  and `( ... )` comments + `TESTING` lines), splits the source on every
+  `}T` so each Hayes test plus the small declaration blocks between
+  them are one safe-resume chunk, and emits an SX driver that feeds
+  the chunks through `lib/forth/hayes-runner.sx`. The runner registers
+  `T{`/`->`/`}T` as Forth primitives that snapshot the dstack depth on
+  `T{`, record actual on `->`, compare on `}T`, and install stub
+  `HEX`/`DECIMAL`/`TESTING` so metadata doesn't halt the stream. Errors
+  raised inside a chunk are caught by `guard` and the state is reset,
+  so one bad test does not break the rest. Outputs
+  `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`.
+
+  First-run baseline: 165 pass / 425 error / 0 fail on the first 590
+  chunks. The default cap sits at 590 because `core.fr` chunks beyond
+  that rely on unsigned-integer wrap-around (e.g. `COUNT-BITS` with
+  `BEGIN DUP WHILE … 2* REPEAT`) which never terminates on our
+  bignum-based Forth; raise `MAX_CHUNKS` once those tests unblock.
+  Majority of errors are missing Phase-4 words (`RSHIFT`, `LSHIFT`,
+  `CELLS`, `S"`, `CHAR`, `SOURCE`, etc.) — each one implemented should
+  convert a cluster of errors to passes.
+
+- **Phase 3 — vendor Gerry Jackson's forth2012-test-suite.** Added
+  `lib/forth/ans-tests/{tester.fr, core.fr, coreexttest.fth}` from
+  https://github.com/gerryjackson/forth2012-test-suite (master, fetched
+  2026-04-24). `tester.fr` is Hayes' `T{ ... -> ... }T` harness; `core.fr`
+  is the ~1000-line Core word tests; `coreexttest.fth` is Core Ext
+  (parked for later phases). Files are pristine — the conformance runner
+  (next iteration) will consume them.
+
+- **Phase 3 — `DO`/`LOOP`/`+LOOP`/`I`/`J`/`LEAVE` + return stack words (+16).**
+  Counted loops compile onto the same PC-driven body runner. DO emits an
+  enter-op (pops limit+start from data stack, pushes them to rstack) and
+  pushes a `{:kind "do" :back PC :leaves ()}` marker onto cstack. LOOP/+LOOP
+  emit a dict op (`:kind "loop"`/`"+loop"` with target=back-cell). The step
+  handler pops index & reads limit, increments, and either restores the
+  updated index + jumps back, or drops the frame and advances. LEAVE walks
+  cstack for the innermost DO marker, emits a `:kind "leave"` dict op with
+  a fresh target cell, and registers it on the marker's leaves list. LOOP
+  patches all registered leave-targets to the exit PC and drops the marker.
+  The leave op pops two from rstack (unloop) and branches. `I` peeks rtop;
+  `J` reads rstack index 2 (below inner frame). Added non-immediate
+  return-stack words `>R`, `R>`, `R@`, `2>R`, `2R>`, `2R@`. Nested
+  DO/LOOP with J tested; LEAVE in nested loops exits only the inner.
+  177/177 green.
+
+- **Phase 3 — `BEGIN`/`UNTIL`/`WHILE`/`REPEAT`/`AGAIN` (+9).** Indefinite-loop
+  constructs built on the same PC-driven body runner introduced for `IF`.
+  BEGIN records the current body length on `state.cstack` (a plain numeric
+  back-target). UNTIL/AGAIN pop that back-target and emit a `bif`/`branch`
+  op whose target cell is set to the recorded PC. WHILE emits a forward

+# 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.
+
+## Architecture sketch
+

+lib/ruby/tokenizer.sx   — keywords, ops, %w[], %i[], heredocs (deferred), regex (deferred)
+    │

+    │
+    ▼
+lib/ruby/runtime.sx     — class table, MOP, dispatch, fibers, primitives
+```
+
+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

+# 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.

+- **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.

+
+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)
+- [ ] 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
+- [ ] Parser: script = list of commands; command = list of words; word = literal string + list of substitutions
+- [ ] Unit tests in `lib/tcl/tests/parse.sx`
+
+### Phase 2 — sequential eval + core commands
+- [ ] `tcl-eval-script`: walk command list, dispatch each first-word into command table
+- [ ] Core commands: `set`, `unset`, `incr`, `append`, `lappend`, `puts`, `gets`, `expr`, `if`, `while`, `for`, `foreach`, `switch`, `break`, `continue`, `return`, `error`, `eval`, `subst`, `format`, `scan`
+- [ ] `expr` is its own mini-language — operator precedence, function calls (`sin`, `sqrt`, `pow`, `abs`, `int`, `double`), variable substitution, command substitution
+- [ ] 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`
+- [ ] List commands: `list`, `lindex`, `lrange`, `llength`, `lreverse`, `lsearch`, `lsort`, `lsort -integer/-real/-dictionary`, `lreplace`, `linsert`, `concat`, `split`, `join`
+- [ ] Dict commands: `dict create`, `dict get`, `dict set`, `dict unset`, `dict exists`, `dict keys`, `dict values`, `dict size`, `dict for`, `dict update`, `dict merge`
+- [ ] 60+ tests in `lib/tcl/tests/eval.sx`
+
+### Phase 3 — proc + uplevel + upvar (THE SHOWCASE)
+- [ ] `proc name args body` — register user-defined command; args supports defaults `{name default}` and rest `args`
+- [ ] Frame stack: each proc call pushes a frame with locals dict; pop on return
+- [ ] `uplevel ?level? script` — evaluate `script` in level-N frame's env; default level is 1 (caller). `#0` is global, `#1` is relative-1
+- [ ] `upvar ?level? otherVar localVar ?…?` — alias localVar to a variable in level-N frame; reads/writes go through the alias
+- [ ] `info level`, `info level N`, `info frame`, `info vars`, `info locals`, `info globals`, `info commands`, `info procs`, `info args`, `info body`
+- [ ] `global var ?…?` — alias to global frame (sugar for `upvar #0 var var`)
+- [ ] `variable name ?value?` — namespace-scoped global
+- [ ] Classic programs in `lib/tcl/tests/programs/`:
+  - [ ] `for-each-line.tcl` — define your own loop construct using `uplevel`
+  - [ ] `assert.tcl` — assertion macro that reports caller's line
+  - [ ] `with-temp-var.tcl` — scoped variable rebind via `upvar`
+- [ ] `lib/tcl/conformance.sh` + runner, `scoreboard.json` + `scoreboard.md`
+
+### Phase 4 — control flow + error handling
+- [ ] `return -code (ok|error|return|break|continue|N) -errorinfo … -errorcode … -level N value`
+- [ ] `catch script ?resultVar? ?optionsVar?` — runs script, returns code; sets resultVar to return value/message; optionsVar to the dict
+- [ ] `try script ?on code var body ...? ?trap pattern var body...? ?finally body?`
+- [ ] `throw type message`
+- [ ] `error message ?info? ?code?`
+- [ ] Stack-trace with `errorInfo` / `errorCode`
+- [ ] 30+ tests in `lib/tcl/tests/error.sx`
+
+### Phase 5 — namespaces + ensembles
+- [ ] `namespace eval ns body`, `namespace current`, `namespace which`, `namespace import`, `namespace export`, `namespace forget`, `namespace delete`
+- [ ] Qualified names: `::ns::cmd`, `::ns::var`
+- [ ] Ensembles: `namespace ensemble create -map { sub1 cmd1 sub2 cmd2 }`
+- [ ] `namespace path` for resolution chain
+- [ ] `proc` and `variable` work inside namespaces
+
+### Phase 6 — coroutines + drive corpus
+- [ ] `coroutine name cmd ?args…?` — start a coroutine; future calls to `name` resume it
+- [ ] `yield ?value?` — suspend, return value to resumer
+- [ ] `yieldto cmd ?args…?` — symmetric transfer
+- [ ] `coroutine` semantics built on fibers (same delcc primitive as Ruby fibers)
+- [ ] Classic programs: `event-loop.tcl` — cooperative scheduler with multiple coroutines
+- [ ] System: `clock seconds`, `clock format`, `clock scan` (subset)
+- [ ] File I/O: `open`, `close`, `read`, `gets`, `puts -nonewline`, `flush`, `eof`, `seek`, `tell`
+- [ ] Drive corpus to 150+ green
+- [ ] Idiom corpus — `lib/tcl/tests/idioms.sx` covering classic Welch/Jones idioms
+
+## SX primitive baseline
+
+Use vectors for arrays; numeric tower + rationals for numbers; ADTs for tagged data;
+coroutines for fibers; string-buffer for mutable string building; bitwise ops for bit
+manipulation; multiple values for multi-return; promises for lazy evaluation; hash tables
+for mutable associative storage; sets for O(1) membership; sequence protocol for
+polymorphic iteration; gensym for unique symbols; char type for characters; string ports
++ read/write for reader protocols; regexp for pattern matching; bytevectors for binary
+data; format for string templating.
