Subject: [PATCH 001/145] fix/toml found miscompiles (#166)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* vm: fuse N-op-y slot binop only for commutative ops

The SlotBinaryIntImm fusion always evaluates `slot op imm`, so
fusing `0 - x` silently computed `x - 0`. Restrict the
constant-left fusion to Add/Mul; Sub/Div/Rem/comparisons fall
back to the generic path. Constant-right fusion is unaffected
(operand order preserved).

* vm: bind tuple-destructure elements positionally via env

compile_destructure recorded one frame slot and reused it for
every element, assigning the first element to all variables.
Bind each element through the environment (DefineVar + Pop,
mirroring captured declarations) and scope block bindings so
they cannot leak into enclosing environments.

* checker: Never bottom type for diverging returns, verify fall-through

Stmt::Return with a value types as Never (bottom, distinct
from Error): it vanishes from if/match joins without
constraining sibling arms, while check_func_body always
verifies the fall-through type against the signature (the old
block_has_return bypass is gone). This rejects wrong-typed
value paths alongside divergent arms and missing-return paths
(e.g. no-else if in a non-unit function).

* checker: record top-level destructure bindings for native globals

bind_pattern now records top-level (env.len() == 1) bindings
into new_bindings, mirroring Stmt::Decl, so tp.bindings types
every module-level destructured name for native globals
collection.

* native: lexical scopes for branches; top-level destructure as globals

Lower tuple destructuring (previously skipped) via indexed
element extraction. push_scope/pop_scope at every branch site
(value blocks, while bodies, match arms, tail branches,
comprehensions) so NameCtx mirrors checker scoping — this also
fixes pre-existing stale references for shadowed Decl locals.
Top-level destructured names become module globals assigned in
the top-level lowering, making them visible to functions and
closures.

* tests: differential fuzzer tooling plus fixed-seed CI smoke set

tests/fuzz/ holds the generator (gen.py), the VM-vs-native
differential runner (run.sh), the runner docs (README.md) and
the explicit known-failures list for pre-existing native
classes (tuple-literal boxing, scalar-global double-unbox).
tests/fixtures/regression/fuzz_smoke_*.zz are 12 fixed seeds
passing strictly on both engines, wired into the existing
e2e and parity harnesses (no Python needed in CI).

+# Differential fuzzer (VM vs native)
+
+`gen.py` generates random programs exercising integer arithmetic
+(including constant-left non-commutative ops), tuples + destructuring
+(+ wildcards), `if`/`match` with early returns, variable shadowing,
+closures capturing destructured vars, and loops. Every program prints
+only deterministic `int`/`bool` lines plus a `DONE` marker.
+
+`run.sh` runs each case on the VM and native engines and compares exit
+codes plus stdout (purely-numeric lines stripped, like the parity
+harness). Result classes:
+
+- `VMFAIL` — the VM rejected/failed the case. Triage first: usually a
+  generator bug, otherwise a real VM/checker bug.
+- `NATFAIL` — native failed. Bucket the C diagnostic against
+  `known_failures.txt`; unmatched signatures are new bugs.
+- `DIFF` — both engines exit 0 but outputs differ. Always a new bug.
+
+## Big runs (not in CI)
+
+```sh
+python3 tests/fuzz/gen.py 0 1000 /tmp/fuzz/cases
+./target/debug/zz build -p zz_cli   # or cargo build -p zz_cli
+tests/fuzz/run.sh /tmp/fuzz/cases /tmp/fuzz/results
+```
+
+Keep `nproc`-scale parallelism low (`-P 2`): concurrent clang
+invocations thrash small machines (see `run.sh`).
+
+## CI smoke set
+
+`tests/fixtures/regression/fuzz_smoke_*.zz` are fixed-seed outputs of
+`gen.py` that pass strictly on both engines. They run in the existing
+`e2e` + `dual_engine_parity` harnesses like any other fixture — no
+Python needed in CI. To regenerate (e.g. after backend fixes widen
+coverage), screen fresh seeds with both engines and keep only
+strict-parity cases:
+
+```sh
+python3 tests/fuzz/gen.py 5000 60 /tmp/fuzz/new
+# keep files where `zz run` and `zz run --native` both exit 0
+# with identical normalized stdout
+```

+# entry needs a minimal reproducer below and, where applicable, a
+# `parity_known_failure!` entry in `crates/zz_cli/tests/dual_engine_parity.rs`.
+#
+# Format per class: signature (substring of the C compiler diagnostic),
+# minimal reproducer, status.
+
+## CLASS 1: tuple-literal boxing
+# Signature: passing 'int64_t' (aka 'long') to parameter of incompatible
+#   type 'zz_value' (aka 'struct zz_value') ... zz_vec_append
+# Tuple literals with computed (unboxed int) elements are appended raw.
+# Reproducer (VM prints 5, 56; native fails C compile):

+#   println(a)
+#   println(b)
+# Status: pre-existing; covered by the `destructuring` known-failure entry
+# in dual_engine_parity.rs.
+
+## CLASS 2: scalar-global copy double-unbox
+# Signature: member reference base type 'int64_t' (aka 'long') is not a
+#   structure or union ... (zz_global_<file>__<var>).i
+# Copying one top-level int global into another emits a second `.i`
+# extraction on the already-unboxed global.
+# Reproducer (VM prints 1; native fails C compile):

+#   v2 := v1
+#   println(v2)
+# Status: pre-existing; covered by the `scalar_global_copy`
+# known-failure entry in dual_engine_parity.rs.
+
+## CLASS 3 (FIXED — must stay empty): block-scoped rebinding
+# Was: use of undeclared identifier 'vN' — a shadowing re-declaration
+# inside a block left a stale NameCtx entry past the braces.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* checker: emit diagnostics in deterministic order

Unused-variable warnings iterated defined_names HashMaps directly,
whose per-process random order made stderr differ between the VM and
native legs (separate zz processes) — flaking strict parity tests
with several warnings (e.g. fuzz_smoke_05). Sort both emitters
(pop_scope, emit_global_unused_warnings) by (span, name).

Same class in typo suggestions: suggest_all and suggest_dotted broke
ties by HashMap iteration order. Ties now break by name.

Adds unused_warnings_emit_in_source_order checker test.

* Realse v0.1.5

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

* ci: build once at release, publishers consume prebuilts

CI (dev/main pushes + PRs) is now the single place tests run. Merges
to main run CI; release triggers on CI success and builds the
x86_64+aarch64 zips exactly once, attaching them before publishing
the Release. docker-publish and aur-publish trigger off the Release
in parallel and consume the zips — docker no longer cargo-builds
(and drops slow QEMU arm64 emulation), AUR no longer compiles.

Also fixes the push-aur HOME skew (runner user with HOME=/root):
HOME is resolved from the passwd db with a writability pre-check,
and the zip URL uses github.repository for the pending owner move.

* ci: mirror toolchain image to Docker Hub

docker-publish pushes the same prebuilt image to ghcr.io and
docker.io/<DOCKERHUB_USERNAME>/zz with identical tags. The Hub login
and tags are skipped when DOCKERHUB_USERNAME is unset, so forks
still publish GHCR-only.

Subject: [PATCH 006/145] ci: PAT-created releases so downstream triggers fire;
 ubuntu base for prebuilts (#173)

Two failure modes fixed:

1. docker/aur never fired after release #12: the Release was cut
with GITHUB_TOKEN, and GitHub does not fire workflow triggers off
token-authenticated API activity. The tag+Release are now created
with RELEASE_TOKEN (user PAT, Contents read+write); GITHUB_TOKEN
fallback keeps cutting the Release with an explicit warning that
downstream will not trigger.

2. docker build failed with GLIBC_2.39 not found: prebuilt zips link
the ubuntu-latest builders' glibc, but the image was debian:bookworm
(glibc 2.36). Base is now ubuntu:24.04 (same distro as both builders;
libssl3t64), with a comment pinning the coupling.

Also adds an optional version input to docker dispatch for backfills
(Cargo.toml may have moved past the tag needing an image rebuild).

+# Contributing to ZZ
+
+Thanks for helping. Keep it simple.
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/zaidejjo/zz
+cd zz
+cargo install --path crates/zz_cli
+```
+
+Requires stable Rust.
+
+## Workflow
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p zz_frontend     # single crate, fast loop
+./scripts/test-fast.sh        # fast suite (skips native legs + plugin e2e)
+cargo test --all              # full suite (slow, CI equivalent)
+cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
+cargo fmt --check
+```
+
+CI enforces zero clippy warnings and clean `cargo fmt`.
+
+## PRs
+
+1. Fork, branch from `main`, keep the diff focused.
+2. Add a `.zz` fixture under `tests/fixtures/` for user-facing changes and register it in `crates/zz_cli/tests/e2e.rs`.
+3. Update docs on the website repo when behavior changes.
+4. Make sure tests, clippy, and fmt pass before requesting review.
+
+## Project layout
+
+```
+zz_frontend → zz_checker → zz_stdlib → zz_cli
+                   |                       |
+                   v                       v
+             zz_runtime ──────────────→ zz_lsp
+```
+
+- `zz_frontend`: lexer, parser, AST, formatter.
+- `zz_checker`: type checker with inference.
+- `zz_runtime`: interpreter + VM.
+- `zz_stdlib`: native functions (keep `funcs.rs` type signatures and `natives.rs` implementations in sync).
+- `zz_cli`: `zz` binary. `zz_lsp`: `zz-lsp` binary.

-   (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-       distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-       include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-       within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-       pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one

-A statically-typed language with inferred declarations, pipeline operators, and rich diagnostics.
+<h1 align="center">ZZ</h1>
 
-## Quick Start
+<p align="center">Fast systems language: native AOT, green threads, zero GC pauses.</p>
 
-```bash
-# Install
-cargo install --path crates/zz_cli

-# Run a file
-zz run hello.zz

+## Why ZZ?
 
-# Check for errors
-zz check src/
-```
+- Native binaries via `zz build`, fast iteration via `zz run`.
+- Green threads and channels for concurrent pipelines.
+- Inferred types, pipelines (`|>`), pattern matching.
+- Diagnostics that suggest fixes, plus `zz fix` and `zz fmt`.
+- Batteries included: HTTP, JSON, fs, math, SQL.
 
-```zz
-// hello.zz
-name := input("What is your name? ")
-println("Hello, {name}!")
+## Quick start
 
-func factorial(n: int) -> int {
-    if n <= 1 { 1 } else { n * factorial(n - 1) }
-}
+Install (main way, latest GitHub release). Re-run to update:
 
-println("5! = {factorial(5)}")
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://zz-lang.pages.dev/install.sh | sh
 ```
 
-## Features
+Windows:
 
-- **Inferred declarations** -- `x := 1` infers `int`; `x: float = 1.0` declares explicitly
-- **Pipeline operator** -- `val |> func()` chains function calls, including across lines
-- **Pattern matching** -- `match` with exhaustive variant patterns, `if let` for binding
-- **Elvis operator** -- `val ?? fallback` unwraps or provides default
-- **String interpolation** -- `"Hello {name}"` with format specs `{pi:.2f}`
-- **Closures** -- `|x: int| x * 2` with captured environment
-- **Generics** -- `func map<T, U>(...)` with type inference
-- **Standard library** -- HTTP, JSON, filesystem, math, string operations
-- **LSP support** -- autocompletion, go-to-definition, hover, diagnostics, formatting
-- **Smart diagnostics** -- Levenshtein suggestions, fix-it hints, source-mapped errors

Subject: [PATCH 009/145] feat: zz setup, shell completions, auto-heal, install
 --path, CLI progress UI

- zz_pm paths: bin_dir() (~/.zz/bin, ZZ_HOME-aware) + test
- new zz_cli ui module: tty/NO_COLOR-aware colors, step headers,
  progress bars, human_bytes (progress on stderr, stdout stays clean)
- new zz_cli setup module: zz setup wires ~/.zz/bin into bash/zsh/fish
  with idempotent marker blocks, stages+installs bash/zsh/fish/powershell
  completions; zz completion [shell] prints scripts; auto_heal() creates a
  missing bin dir on every run and hints at setup when off PATH (tty only)
- zz install --path <dir|file.zz>: release-build from source like cargo,
  install binary into ~/.zz/bin (overwrite warns, chmod +x, PATH hint)
- install/add/build output goes through staged ui steps
- README: setup + install --path quick start

+//! `zz setup` + `zz completion`: shell integration.
+//!
+//! - `~/.zz/bin` is the canonical tool directory (compiler + everything
+//!   `zz install --path` builds). `zz setup` creates it and wires it into
+//!   bash/zsh/fish (PowerShell script staged for future use).
+//! - `zz completion <shell>` prints the completion script for one shell.
+//! - [`auto_heal`] runs on every `zz` invocation: it silently creates a
+//!   missing bin dir and nudges interactive users toward `zz setup` when
+//!   the dir is not on `PATH`. Shell rc files are only ever edited by an
+//!   explicit `zz setup` (or the install scripts via `zz setup --yes`).

Subject: [PATCH 010/145] feat/setup fixes (#177)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* feat: working shell completions, remote install --path, build spinner, once-only hint

Completions (setup.rs scripts are now live-tested under bash):
- bash: flags complete before files (zz build --<TAB> gives flags),
  --path/--embed complete dirs, --target/--cc/--template values
- zsh: flag + option-value branches added
- fish: stray -k dropped, flag completions added
- zsh fpath block is inserted before compinit so it actually loads;
  setup prints per-shell reload instructions

install --path (pm.rs):
- unknown local paths fall back to package names: local aliases,
  then registry metadata -> CAS -> source build -> ~/.zz/bin
  (verified: zz install --path zcc fetched, built, installed, runs)
- shared build_and_install_bin tail with spinner + sanitized names

Build UX (main.rs, ui.rs):
- ui::Spinner with elapsed time around clang (TTY animates, piped
  stays linear); build/install/fetch all show live progress
- auto_heal PATH hint now shows once via ~/.zz/.setup-hint-shown
  stamp (cleared by zz setup or when back on PATH)

* feat: harden shell completions, add setup --check diagnostics

- fish: custom __fish_complete_zz_files helper (no commandline
  dependency) + -f so only .zz + dirs complete; verified live:
  'zz run m' offers exactly main.zz next to main.py
- bash/zsh verified live too (subcommands, flags-before-files,
  .zz preference, option values)
- new 'zz setup --check': read-only per-shell report (rc wired,
  exact-script match so stale installs fail); exit 1 when incomplete
- setup prints per-shell reload command after wiring

* fix: hint stamp survives setup, no self-nag, check passes pending restart

- auto_heal takes a suppress flag; main skips the PATH hint when
  already running 'setup'/'completion'
- 'zz setup' only clears the hint stamp once ~/.zz/bin is live on
  PATH (it cannot fix the current session) — the nag showed again
  on the very next command before
- 'zz setup --check': rc-wired-but-off-PATH reports activation
  pending and exits 0 instead of counting a failure

* fix: zsh completions actually load (compdump purge, compinit bootstrap)

- 'zz setup' removes ~/.zcompdump* so the next shell rescans fpath
  instead of serving a cached set without _zz (the README.md-TAB cause)
- when no startup file runs compinit, setup adds a bootstrap line
  inside its own block (a second compinit is harmless)
- anchor matching ignores comment lines mentioning compinit
- 'zz setup --check' runs a real zsh+compinit load test with a
  throwaway dump and reports the result

Subject: [PATCH 011/145] feat/upgrade doctor pkg tools (#178)

* feat: upgrade, doctor, outdated, deps, audit, clean, profile, new templates+git

- zz upgrade [--check] [--version] [--keep-backup]: self-update from
  GitHub releases with atomic swap + rollback, platform-gated
- zz doctor [--fix]: binary/clang/shell/git/registry/cache audit
  with fix hints; --fix runs setup for integration issues
- zz outdated: locked vs wanted vs latest table per registry dep
- zz deps tree [--depth] / zz deps why <pkg>: lockfile + CAS graph
- zz audit: pin integrity (published? hash? licensed? content?)
- zz new: pkg:/git-URL/path templates with {{name}} substitution,
  --force/--no-git, always git init -b main, name validation
- zz profile <file> [-- args]: PGO end to end via new
  BuildMode::PgoUse (instrument -> train -> merge -> optimize)
- zz clean [--deps]: remove build outputs (+vendor/lock)
- completions list all new subcommands; README documents trio

* review: fix upgrade timeouts/rollback/version-check, git errors, leaks

- upgrade: 30s API / 300s download timeouts (bare ureq hangs forever)
- upgrade: failed zz-lsp swap restores zz (never mix versions)
- upgrade: exact version-tuple verify (0.1.60 no longer matches 0.1.6)
- new: git init failure reports detail instead of 'git not found';
  old-git fallback reports the right exit code
- new: fetched template tempdirs removed after overlay (was leaked)
- outdated: unsatisfiable req shows 'no match' + zz info hint
- deps: flag-first invocation defaults to tree; why without lock
  reports missing lock instead of 'nothing depends'

From ae9b86d676fb83aa72dddf8dd186e6e8805bf1f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Zaid Ajo <zaidejjo@gmail.com>
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2026 14:18:56 +0300
Subject: [PATCH 012/145] native: yield tail call/return values from if/else
 branches (#179)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

emit_tail_branch delegated the trailing statement to last_stmt_value,
whose __tail lookup only makes sense for callers that already emitted
the whole block (function/closure bodies). In a branch the last
statement was skipped, so the lookup read stale outer entries — and
trailing return was never handled at all. Both fell through to
return zz_unit(), silently dropping call results
(if c { return g(x) } else { return h(x) } printed empty lines).

The branch tail is now lowered directly: If tails recurse, call and
value tails emit once and return, return yields its value, trailing
decl yields the local. Adds branch_call_returns + branch_call_tails
regression fixtures (VM + native parity).

Subject: [PATCH 013/145] native: heal loop-arena strings at retaining stores

zz_binop_cat_arena / zz_str_cast_arena bump-allocate strings (refs==0
sentinel) into the per-iteration loop arena, but retaining stores
aliased them past zz_arena_reset: loop-carried accumulators read back
NUL garbage, dict keys got refs++ adopted as heap (wild free later).
Every retaining store now heals arena strings to heap copies, mirroring
the zz_value_dup string path used at thread crossings: zz_assign,
array push/append/insert/dup, dict key+value, object fields, tuple
elements. Append fallbacks explicitly abandon (never release) arena
sources instead of relying on refs wraparound.

Subject: [PATCH 015/145] fuzz: v2 shapes behind --shapes v2 (default mode
 byte-identical)

S1 return-of-call in if/else/early-return/match branches, S2 string
accumulators with calls/copies/retaining stores, S3 stringify-like
struct emits. Default seeds verified byte-identical (60/60); 12/12 v2
seeds pass the VM.

Subject: [PATCH 016/145] frontend: fold -9223372036854775808 to i64::MIN

Unary minus around the exact boundary literal parses directly to MIN;
one-past-MIN still errors. Tests for MIN, underscored MIN, past-MIN.

Subject: [PATCH 017/145] feat: bitwise operators &, |, ^, ~, <<, >>

Pure-int ops across the pipeline for Xoshiro/WyRand-class RNGs:

- lexer: Amp/Caret/Tilde/Shl/Shr tokens, << >> lexed before
  < >, line-continuation support; Pipe reused as BitOr in
  expression context (closures/patterns unaffected)
- parser/AST: BitAnd/BitOr/BitXor/Shl/Shr + BitNot with
  ~ > +- > << >> > & > ^ > | > comparison precedence
- checker: strict (int, int) -> int, int-only ~ with cast hints
- runtime/VM: wrapping & | ^ ~, shifts masked & 63 with
  runtime error on negative counts, differential VM test
- AOT: ZZOP_AND/OR/XOR/SHL/SHR + zz_bitnot; & | ^ lower to
  raw C int64, shifts always via masked boxed path (no UB)
- tests: parser/checker/eval/VM-diff units, syntax e2e

+Both operands (and `~`'s operand) must be `int` — floats, bools,

Subject: [PATCH 018/145] fix: review follow-ups for bitwise operators

- parser: split >> into two > closes for nested generic type
  args (Option<Option<int>> regressed to a parse error);
  pending_gt counter + Shr-aware embedded-field lookahead
- checker: suppress cascading bitwise errors on Error/Never
  operands (same convention as check_arith)
- vm: fuse commutative & | ^ in N-op-y SlotBinaryIntImm
  (shifts stay on the generic path)
- codegen: explicit int shift counts in ZZOP_SHL/SHR
- parser: tidy parse_bitor precedence doc

Subject: [PATCH 019/145] native: index-set must not zz_int-wrap string values

The Assign Index arm boxed any non-ident RHS via an AST-only scalar
check; string concats over string idents qualified and lowered to
zz_int(zz_binop(...)) (C type error). Gate the wrap on the value
actually being a raw scalar; already-zz_value RHS stores directly.
Regression fixture string_index_set_binop in e2e + strict parity.

Subject: [PATCH 021/145] pm: opt-in [package] zz minimum-compiler requirement

Parsers without the field (<= 0.1.5) ignore unknown keys, so old
compilers cannot be protected by it; enforcement guards new ones.
run/build/test fail fast on the project's own requirement; install
errors on root + linked/path deps (tool installs included); add warns
for readable path deps; publish rejects malformed requirements.
Unit tests for parse/round-trip/check/publish plus CLI integration
tests for all five paths.

+# VM value-copy performance (COW + last-use move)
+
+Status: design only. No implementation.
+
+## Problem
+
+Every VM read of a non-scalar clones deeply:
+
+- tree-walker `Env::get` → `Some(v.clone())` (`crates/zz_runtime/src/env.rs`);
+- `Stmt::Decl` → `define(name, v.clone())` **and** returns the original;
+- bytecode VM `LoadVar` (`env.get`), `LoadSlot` (stack `.clone()`),
+  `DefineVar` (clone-then-push);
+- `StoreVar`/`StoreSlot`, call args, and returns move (no clone there).
+
+`Value::Object`/`Array`/`Dict`/`Str` are `Box`-owned trees, so one
+`doc` read copies all 16 arena arrays. The toml package appends one key
+per `push_node` call and pays 3–5 full deep copies per key → the
+~quadratic curve (2 KB ~1 s, 10 KB ~43 s on the VM).
+
+The native engine does not have this problem: boxed structs travel as
+`zz_value` handles (`zz_clone` = refcount bump, O(1)); per-step cost is
+only the `vec_push` element-array dup.
+
+## (1) COW for arrays / objects / strings
+
+Wrap the backing stores, not `Value`:
+
+- `Array(Box<Vec<Value>>)` → `Array(CowVec)` where
+  `CowVec = Arc<Vec<Value>>` (same for `Dict` entries, `Object` fields,
+  `Str` bytes).
+- Clone becomes an `Arc` bump (O(1)). Every *mutation* path goes through
+  `make_mut`: `set_object_field`, `set_index`/`zz_array_set`,
+  `vec.push`/`append`/`insert`, dict `set`, string append/concat-into.
+- `make_mut` on `Arc::get_mut` failure copies once (O(n)); the copy is
+  exactly the copy the VM does today, so worst case equals status quo.
+
+**Rc vs Arc.** The VM is single-threaded while interpreting, BUT `Value`
+is `unsafe impl Send + Sync` and spawned tasks receive snapshotted/duped
+values across threads (`snapshot_env_cow`, `zz_value_dup` at crossings).
+Keeping `Send + Sync` is load-bearing for that story. The atomic bump
+costs ~1 ns against deep clones costing ms: **use `Arc`**. (`Rc` would
+force removing the `Send`/`Sync` impls and re-auditing every crossing —
+rejected.)
+
+Strings: `Str(Box<String>)` → `Arc<String>` (or `Arc<str>`); slicing
+already shares via `Bytes` (`Arc` + window) and is the model to copy.
+Concat produces a fresh buffer (no sharing to preserve).
+
+## (2) Minimal last-use move for self-reassignment
+
+Syntactic rule, no dataflow analysis. In the tree-walker and the
+bytecode compiler, when lowering `x = <rhs>` / `x := <rhs>`:
+
+> If the RHS mentions `x` exactly once, that occurrence is a *move*
+> (no clone), AND `x` is a plain local (not a global, not captured by a
+> closure in scope, not a path/index target), AND the single mention is
+> in argument position of the outermost call or a direct operand —
+> then evaluate the RHS by moving `x`'s slot instead of cloning it.
+
+Covered shapes: `x = f(x, ...)`, `x = x + ...`, `x = vec.push(x, e)`,
+`x = m(x)` (method call). The callee/operator receives owned `x`; the
+final store overwrites the (moved-from) slot. Unit (`()`) left in the
+slot during evaluation is unobservable: the statement completes before
+any user code can read `x`.
+
+MUST NOT apply when:
+
+- `x` occurs 2+ times in the RHS (`x = x + x`, `x = f(x, x)`) — the
+  second read needs the value;
+- `x` is read inside a nested closure in the RHS (`x = apply(|v| x)`):
+  the closure must capture a clone (capture outlives the call);
+- `x` appears in a loop condition or is captured by a closure
+  *elsewhere in scope* (conservative: captured names never move);
+- target is `obj.field`, `arr[i]`, or a global (write-back paths re-read
+  the container — move only the *value*, never the container);
+- RHS can fail partway (`?`, bounds-checked index, div-by-zero): on
+  error the function aborts with an error value, so a moved-from slot is
+  fine — BUT the error *message* path must not print the slot. Rule:
+  moves are allowed only if the RHS is total or the error path never
+  formats locals (audit `EvalError` construction);
+- `x` is `mut`-borrowed anywhere (no borrows exist today; revisit if
+  `&mut` lands).
+
+## (3) Trace: `doc = push_node(doc, x)`
+
+`push_node` appends to ~5 of the 16 arrays and returns `doc`. Caller
+shape (toml): `doc = push_node(doc, kind, ...)`.
+
+Today (refcounts are deep clones, shown as copies):
+
+1. eval arg `doc` — copy #1 (whole `Doc`, 16 arrays).
+2. param bind — move.
+3. each `doc.<arr> = vec.push(doc.<arr>, v)` — field read copies whole
+   `Doc` again (copies #2..#6), `vec.push` dups that one array (O(n)),
+   field write-back moves.
+4. `return doc` — move. Caller `Decl`/assign — `Decl` clones (copy #7).
+
+Per key: ~7 whole-`Doc` copies + 5 array dups → O(keys × nodes).
+
+With (2) only (no COW):
+
+1. eval arg `doc` — MOVE (single use in `doc = push_node(doc, ...)`).
+2. param bind — move.
+3. field reads still clone whole `Doc` (no rule fires inside — the rule
+   is statement-level; `doc.t_tbl` read inside `vec.push(doc.t_tbl, …)`
+   mentions `doc` once… the inner statement is an *expression*, not an
+   assignment to `doc`, so no move; each field read still deep-copies).
+4. return/assign — moves.
+
+Per key: ~5 whole-`Doc` copies (field reads) + 5 array dups. **Better
+constant, still O(keys × nodes).** `push` does NOT become in-place:
+`vec.push` receives a *shared-or-not unknown* array and must dup.
+
+With (1) COW + (2):
+
+1. arg — `Arc` bump. 2. field reads — `Arc` bumps; element arrays shared.
+3. `vec.push(shared_arr, v)` — `make_mut` copies that ONE array once
+   (O(n)), all other 15 arrays stay shared. 4. return/assign — bumps.
+
+Per key: one O(n) array copy + O(1) bumps → O(keys × avg_len) total with
+a tiny constant — the same complexity as the native engine. `push`
+becomes in-place exactly when the array is uniquely owned
+(`Arc::get_mut` succeeds), which is the common accumulator case.
+
+## (4) Semantic risks
+
+- **Equality** (`==`, `!=`): deep comparison, sharing-invisible. Safe.
+- **Aliasing through closures**: captured envs clone at capture today;
+  with COW they would *share* until a write. Every write path already
+  routes through `make_mut` (section 1 list) — audit must prove no
+  direct `Vec`/`String` mutation exists outside it (`grep mut` on
+  `Value` internals). Highest-risk site: `set_object_field` write-back
+  in the tree-walker, which re-reads and rewrites whole objects.
+- **Dicts of arrays / nested sharing**: `make_mut` is per-buffer, so a
+  write to a nested array copies only that array. Diagrams that print
+  shared structure (`{:?}`) must not expose addresses — they don't.
+- **`str` interning**: interned literals are immortal singletons; they
+  never participate in COW (excluded like the native `interned` flag).
+- **Rollback hazard**: `Arc::get_mut` + interior retry logic must never
+  be reachable from two threads for the same buffer — thread crossings
+  keep today's deep `dup`, so no buffer is ever shared across threads
+  while mutable. State this as an invariant with a `debug_assert!`.
+
+## (5) Expected effect
+
+- toml append curve (VM): from ~quadratic (43 s @ 10 KB) to ~linear
+  with native-like constant (one array copy per key). Native path
+  unchanged (already handle-passing); `vec_push` still copies the one
+  array per push — that copy is *required* by value semantics unless the
+  caller is proven unique owner (not knowable without (2)-style
+  analysis in codegen; out of scope here).
+- String-heavy loops: `out = out + ...` moves the accumulator (rule)
+  and shares RHS temps (COW); one copy per stored value, same as the
+  native heal.
+
+## (6) Incremental plan (gates + rollback per step)
+
+1. **Instrument** (0.5 d): counters for deep-clone sites
+   (`env.get`, `DefineVar`, `LoadSlot`) behind `#[cfg(feature)]` or an
+   env flag; gate: toml-10KB run prints the copy histogram. Rollback:
+   delete the counters.
+2. **`Arc<String>` for `Str`** (1 d): smallest blast radius, no nesting.
+   Gate: `cargo test` + fuzz 200 + clone-counter delta on string bench.
+   Rollback: revert the type alias.
+3. **`Arc<Vec<Value>>` for arrays + `make_mut` on all write paths**
+   (2–3 d): enumerate write paths by test (`grep -n "arr:"` mutations);
+   gate: full e2e + parity + fuzz 1000, zero new DIFFs; clone counters
+   show O(1) per read. Rollback: revert (single-commit).
+4. **Dicts + objects** (2 d): same gate. Rollback: revert.
+5. **Last-use move rule** (2 d): tree-walker first, then bytecode
+   compiler; gate: targeted tests for every MUST-NOT case in section 2
+   (each asserts old value preserved / error identical); fuzz 1000.
+   Rollback: flag-gate the rule (`ZZ_NO_MOVE=1` env) before removing.
+6. **toml curve re-measure** (0.5 d): accept if 10 KB < 2 s on VM.
+
+Total ≈ 8–10 d. Each step is independently revertible; steps 2–4 are
+near-mechanical, step 5 carries the semantic risk.
+
+## `&mut` comparison (deferred)
+
+`&mut` params would give true zero-copy hot loops with caller-visible
+mutation, beating COW (which still copies once per `make_mut`).
+Deferred because it is a language feature, not an optimization: new
+syntax, borrow rules in the checker, codegen for both engines, aliasing
+semantics to specify, and a migration story for existing by-value code.
+Do COW + move first; revisit `&mut` only if measured hot loops still
+miss targets after step 6.

+# zz v0.1.6 — draft release notes (DO NOT TAG yet)
+
+## Highlights
+
+- **Native memory-safety fix: loop-arena string retention.** String
+  results built in the per-iteration loop arena (`zz_binop_cat_arena`,
+  `zz_str_cast_arena`) are bump-allocated with a `refs==0` sentinel.
+  Retaining stores (variable assignment, array/dict/object slots,
+  `push`/`insert`, tuple elements, dict keys) aliased them past
+  `zz_arena_reset`, so loop-carried accumulators read back NUL garbage —
+  and dict keys got `refs++` adopted as heap-owned (wild free later;
+  observed as SIGSEGV). Every retaining store now heals arena strings
+  to heap copies (`zz_str_heal_arena`, mirroring the `zz_value_dup`
+  string path used at thread crossings); append fallbacks explicitly
+  abandon arena sources. Found via the toml package's `stringify`;
+  verified by 1000/1000 differential fuzz cases plus an AddressSanitizer
+  campaign (fixtures + fuzz, zero errors).
+- **Native index-set fix.** `a[i] = s + t` (string concat RHS) was
+  wrapped in `zz_int(...)` — a C type error — by an AST-only scalar
+  check that misreads string idents. The wrap now fires only for
+  genuinely raw scalars.
+- **`-9223372036854775808` parses.** Unary minus around the exact
+  boundary literal folds to `i64::MIN`; one-past-MIN still errors.
+- **New `[package] zz = ">=x.y.z"` manifest field** (opt-in, no
+  auto-stamp). `run`/`build`/`test` fail fast on the project's own
+  requirement; `install` errors on root + dependency requirements
+  (tool installs included); `add` warns for readable path deps;
+  `publish` rejects malformed requirements. Note: parsers ≤ 0.1.5
+  *ignore* unknown keys, so old compilers cannot be protected by it —
+  enforcement guards new compilers only.
+
+## New regression coverage
+
+- `string_accum_loop`, `string_store_across_iter`,
+  `string_index_set_binop`, `branch_early_return_calls` (e2e + strict
+  VM-vs-native parity).
+- Fuzzer `--shapes v2`: return-of-call branches, string accumulators
+  with retaining stores, stringify-like struct emits (these shapes
+  found all three native bugs above).
+
+## Known limitations (unchanged)
+
+- VM value copies are deep per read (`Env::get`, `DefineVar`,
+  `LoadSlot`): config-parse workloads scale ~quadratically on the VM
+  (10 KB TOML ~43 s). Native is unaffected (handle passing). Design doc
+  `docs/design/vm-cow.md` proposes COW + last-use move (8–10 d).
+- Tuple-literal boxing, scalar-global double-unbox (fuzz
+  `known_failures.txt` classes 1–2).
+- `float()` VM/AOT divergence (pre-existing).
+- Imported-const selective bindings print empty on native
+  (`multi_selective`); native base64/isqrt error-message text differs
+  from the VM (same class: different backing libs).
+- Closures cannot capture loop locals (VM errors; native yields unit) —
+  consistent limitation, not memory unsafety.
+- `defer` of loop-locals is a loud checker error (by design).
+
+## Merge order (with dev commit ae9b86d)
+
+`ae9b86d` ("native: yield tail call/return values from if/else
+branches") is already ON dev and ANCESTOR of this work — nothing to
+cherry-pick for it. This branch (`fix/toml-pkg-followups`,
+ae9b86d^..HEAD) merges to dev as-is:
+
+1. `350499e` runtime heal — needs the precompiled `libzz_rt.a` cache
+   rebuilt on first native build after upgrade (automatic; mtime-keyed).
+2. `0d334de` fixtures + harness entries.
+3. `c4778d5` fuzz v2 (default seeds byte-identical — CI smoke safe).
+4. `0150f93` MIN fold (parser-only, no codegen impact).
+5. `a79dd80` index-set fix (codegen; rebuilds native cache entries).
+6. `3dd6321` README (docs only).
+7. `180a4d1` manifest field (opt-in; old manifests unaffected).
+8. `dc8102b` design doc (docs only).
+
+No cherry-picks needed: linear history from ae9b86d. Do NOT tag
+v0.1.6 until the full e2e + parity suites pass on the merge commit
+(they pass here: 225/225 e2e, 103/103 parity).

Fixed corpus (1K/8K/32K/128K/1M flat+mixed TOML, seed 7) plus five
drivers (parse_proxy, push_int/str, field_push, thread_doc). run.py
measures wall time (monotonic) and peak RSS (per-child wait4 ru_maxrss,

+Method: each case runs once per engine; wall time via
+monotonic clock, peak RSS via per-child `wait4` `ru_maxrss`
+(same kernel counter as GNU `time -v`; GNU time is not
+installed on this machine). VM cases over 32 KB are skipped
+above 32 KB (superlinear — infeasible); native 1 MB may hit
+the timeout, which is itself the baseline signal.

Subject: [PATCH 026/145] analysis: shared move-on-self-reassign eligibility
 plus tests

zz_frontend::move_elide spells the exact take-instead-of-clone rule
(single occurrence, no closures/spawn, pure sibling args) and
classifies VecPush/FieldPush/ThreadCall shapes for the native lowerer,
bytecode compiler and tree-walker to share. 7 unit tests cover the
shapes and every must-NOT case.

+//! Move-on-self-reassign analysis shared by all engines.
+//!
+//! ## Exact rule
+//!
+//! For a statement `x = RHS` (or `x := RHS`) where `x` is a plain local,
+//! the single occurrence of `x` inside `RHS` may be *moved* (taken out of
+//! its slot, leaving `Unit` behind until the final store) instead of
+//! cloned when every clause below holds:
+//!
+//! 1. **Single occurrence.** `x` is referenced exactly once in the whole
+//!    `RHS` — as `x`, `x.y`, or `x[i]` (any reference counts). Two reads
+//!    (`x = x + x`, `x = f(x, x)`) need the value twice; no move.
+//! 2. **No closures, no spawn in `RHS`.** A closure literal captures the
+//!    scope and could observe the transient `Unit` when invoked before the
+//!    store completes; `spawn` snapshots the scope (same hazard).
+//! 3. **No other calls in the moved value's way.** For `vec.push` shapes
+//!    the element argument must be call-free (a nested call could re-enter
+//!    user code that reads `x`). For `x = f(x, ...)` every argument other
+//!    than `x` itself must be call-free, closure-free and spawn-free; the
+//!    callee itself is vetted per engine (native: plain local + not
+//!    captured; VM: runtime scope-share check).
+//! 4. **Loop iterators.** Sequential re-reads (conditions, bounds) are safe
+//!    by construction — the store completes before any re-read. The only
+//!    loop hazard is a *live borrow* of `x`'s buffer (native `for v in x`
+//!    holds `iter_tmp`, a cloned share): the refcount uniqueness check
+//!    (`refs == 1`) fails while borrowed and forces the copy fallback.
+//! 5. **Field aliases.** Native container stores share (`refs` bump), so an
+//!    `x` aliased through a dict/array/struct field fails the uniqueness
+//!    check and falls back. VM stores deep-clone on read, so field aliases
+//!    cannot exist (closure scope-sharing is the only VM alias — clause 2
+//!    plus the scope-share check cover it).
+//!
+//! ## Shapes
+//!
+//! - `VecPush(x)`: `x = vec.push(x, e)` / `x = std.vec.push(x, e)` /
+//!   `x = x.push(e)` (method spellings). The callee never invokes user
+//!   code, so no callee check is needed.
+//! - `FieldPush(obj, field)`: `s.f = vec.push(s.f, e)` (same, for one
+//!   struct/object field; the container is never moved, only the field).
+//! - `ThreadCall(x)`: `x = f(x, ...)` — the argument in `x`'s position is
+//!   moved into the call. Per-engine guards apply on top (see clause 3).

Subject: [PATCH 027/145] feat: tuple indexing, len, and bare destructuring

Tuple indexing t[i]:
- checker: Type::Tuple arm in expression and assign-target
  positions; integer literals only (negatives count from the
  end), compile-time bounds checks, dynamic-index error with
  destructure hint; shared check_tuple_index helper
- runtime: Tuple arms in get_index/set_index (arrays share the
  representation); len() counts tuples (AOT zz_len already did)
- AOT/VM/formatter need no changes (tuples lower as arrays)

Bare destructuring a, b := expr:
- parser lookahead + parse_bare_destructure_decl reusing
  Stmt::Destructure (bindings and _ wildcards); calls, short
  decls, and patterns unaffected

Tests: parser/checker/eval/VM-diff units, syntax e2e fixture,
OOB + dynamic-index error fixtures, strict dual-engine parity.
Docs: syntax.md tuple section, stdlib.md len row.

+Dynamic indices (`t[i]`) are a compile error — destructure instead.
+Out-of-range literal indices are also caught at compile time.

+Tuples share the array representation: `t[0] = 99` writes in
+place, and behavior is identical on the VM and native backends.

Subject: [PATCH 028/145] fix: formatters preserve bare vs paren destructure
 form

Both emitters hardcoded parens around tuple patterns, so
a, b := ... formatted to (a, b) := ..., changing the
significant-token stream and failing the fmt parity corpus.
Sniff the pattern span instead: emit parens exactly when the
source had them (match arms always do; bare destructure never
does; nesting resolves per level).

Subject: [PATCH 029/145] perf: move-on-self-reassign append elision (native +
 VM)

Native: zz_vec_push_take / zz_object_push_field_take grow uniquely-owned
arrays in place (refs==1) with healing copy fallback; take-based
ThreadCall for stack locals; zz_len_field avoids getter retains.

VM: vec_push reuses the owned Vec from the arg slot; fused TakeSlot /
TakeVar / VecPush / VecPushField / VecPushMethod ops for
x = vec.push(x, e), x = x.push(e), s.f = vec.push(s.f, e) and
x = f(x, ...) on slot homes, with qualified-global normalization,
shadowing and capture guards.

Shared zz_frontend::move_elide eligibility + early-exit exclusion.
push_int 10k: 8406ms -> ~165ms VM (linear 5k->40k).

Fixtures: move_append_shapes / field / append (e2e + parity).
Known gap documented in docs/perf/baseline.md: field fused op needs
runtime profiling (still ~1 clone/push).

+//! - Green (suspendable) bodies are excluded everywhere: a suspend must

+## After move-append elision (VM, debug)
+
+Date: 2026-10-02 · Machine: `x86_64` (same) · zz: `zz 0.1.6`
+Branch: `perf/move-append-elision` · Binary: `target/debug/zz`
+Method: `time zz run bench/move_append/<case>.zz -- N`, best of 2,
+uncontended CPU. Fixed startup overhead (~160 ms) dominates small N;
+the scaling column is the signal, not the absolute ms.
+
+| case | before (wall ms) | after (wall ms) | scaling after |
+|------|------------------|-----------------|---------------|
+| `push_int N=10000` | 8406 | ~165 | flat 5k→40k: 171→195 ms (linear) |
+| `push_str N=5000` | 9676 | ~193 | linear (same fused path) |
+| `field_push N=10000` | 22433 | ~6900 | ~3.2x (partial: stdlib arg-reuse only) |
+| `thread_doc N=2000` | 11516 | ~2300 | ~5x (stdlib arg-reuse + slot takes) |
+
+What fired: `x = vec.push(x, e)` / `x = x.push(e)` / `x.push(e)`
+compile to a fused take→push→store op (zero clones); every
+`vec.push` call site also reuses the owned `Vec` out of the arg slot.
+`x = f(x, ...)` takes the single `x` load for uncaptured stack locals.
+
+Known follow-up: the struct-field fused op (`s.f = vec.push(s.f, e)`)
+is emitted but the 10k micro still shows ~1 clone/push — the direct
+field fast path is not hitting at runtime (value correct, all suites
+green). Suspect: promoted/embedded field layout bypasses the inline
+scan and falls back to clone-read + push + write. Profile
+`VecPushField` vs generic before calling the field shape done.
+
+Native after-curves: re-run `bench/move_append/run.py` (the harness).
+Pre-optimization native baselines above stand; native `zz_vec_push_take`
+/ `zz_object_push_field_take` landed on this branch with the same
+shapes plus `x = f(x, ...)` takes, and all e2e + parity suites pass on
+both engines.

Subject: [PATCH 030/145] feat: compound assignment (+= -= *= /= %= **= &= |=
 ^= <<= >>=)

Explicit CompoundAssign AST node (desugaring would double-evaluate
receivers). All 11 operators, same targets and type rules as plain
assign. Receiver evaluated once (obj, index, rhs left-to-right);
Ident/Path delegate to plain Assign for slot fusion and green
handling. VM gains CompoundIndexOp/CompoundFieldOp; AOT emits
read-binop-write for Index and preserves side effects for Field.
Structural tests prove identical opcodes and identical C vs the
plain form. E2E fixtures plus dual-engine parity included.

+### Compound Assignment
+
+`x OP= y` is equivalent to `x = x OP y` with the receiver evaluated
+exactly once (so `arr[i()] += f()` calls `i()` then `f()`, once each —
+unlike textual expansion, which would evaluate `i()` twice):
+
+```zz
+x := 10
+x += 1    // 11, like x = x + 1
+x -= 2    // 9
+x *= 3    // 27
+x /= 4    // 6 (integer division)
+x %= 4    // 2
+n := 2
+n **= 10  // 1024
+
+p.x += 5        // struct fields (same targets as `=`)
+arr[0] *= 2     // indices
+
+// Bitwise forms work too:
+flags := 0
+flags |= 4
+flags &= 7
+flags ^= 1
+flags <<= 2
+flags >>= 1
+```
+
+Type rules are exactly the binary operator's: `x += 1.5` is accepted
+precisely when `x = x + 1.5` is. Cannot be chained (`x += y += z`
+is an error — split it into two statements).
+
+### Value Semantics
+
+Function parameters are values (copies) from the programmer's
+perspective — a function can never mutate its caller's variables:
+
+```zz
+struct Counter { n: int }
+
+func bump(c: Counter) -> int {
+    c.n += 100   // mutates only the local copy
+    c.n
+}
+
+c := Counter{ n: 10 }
+bump(c)     // 110
+c.n         // still 10
+```
+
+There are no reference parameters, no borrows, and no borrow checker.
+`value semantics != mandatory physical memcpy`: the compiler and
+runtime may eliminate physical copies and reuse storage internally
+(copy-on-write, in-place slot operations) whenever provably safe, but
+such optimizations are never observable — no alias can witness an
+intermediate mutation. Correctness always wins over optimization.
+

Subject: [PATCH 031/145] feat: generic structs (Box<T>, impl Box[T], inference
 + methods)

Type-erased generics: StructSig gains type parameters, Type::Struct
carries arguments, construction infers them like generic calls.
Methods inherit impl parameters so receivers unify at call sites.
Field/method lookup substitutes through embedded levels. Runtimes
unchanged (values store fields only); structural test proves generic
and monomorphic programs compile to identical opcodes. E2E fixture
plus dual-engine parity included.

+### Generic Structs
+
+Structs take type parameters (`struct Box<T> { v: T }`). Construction
+infers the arguments (`Box{ v: 1 }` is `Box<int>`), exactly like generic
+function calls — no turbofish needed. Annotate when you want to pin it
+(`x: Box<int> = Box{ v: 1 }`):
+
+```zz
+struct Box<T> { v: T }
+
+impl Box<T> {
+    func get(self) -> T {
+        self.v
+    }
+}
+
+b := Box{ v: 42 }      // Box[int]
+println(b.get())       // 42
+s := Box{ v: "hi" }    // Box[str]
+
+struct Pair<A, B> { a: A, b: B }
+p := Pair{ a: 1, b: "s" }   // Pair[int, str]
+```
+
+Rules:
+- Use sites name their arguments (`Box<int>`); a bare `Box` for a generic
+  struct is an error, as is the wrong count (`Pair<int>`).
+- `Box<int>` and `Box<str>` are distinct types — assigning one to the
+  other is a type mismatch.
+- `impl Box<T>` scopes `T` over every method; the receiver unifies the
+  arguments at each call. A plain `impl Box` for a generic struct is an
+  error, and a method parameter may not shadow an impl parameter.
+- Type arguments erase at runtime: values store field data only, so
+  generic code runs identically to hand-monomorphized code (same
+  opcodes, same generated C — verified by test, not just claimed).
+  Value semantics hold unchanged: functions receive copies regardless
+  of type arguments.
+
 ### Method Call Syntax
 
 Method calls desugar to function calls with the receiver as the first argument:

Subject: [PATCH 032/145] fix: box unboxed structs and raw scalars in
 array/tuple literals (AOT)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tuple/array literals only boxed Ident items, handing raw C structs
(unboxed struct literals) and raw scalars (arithmetic) to
zz_vec_append(zz_value) — C build failure. Route unboxed-struct items
through emit_boxed_value and raw scalars through box_scalar_operand.

Also fixes boxed field reads of rvalue bases (&zz_clone(x)): the Ident
fast path now checks the emitted form is a plain variable, else hoists
to a temp. Found via the rand package (Rng tuples); minimal repros and
e2e + parity fixtures included.

Subject: [PATCH 033/145] perf: linear appends via move-on-self-reassign takes
 (native + VM)

Native take helpers (zz_vec_push_take, zz_object_push_field_take,
zz_len_field) plus ThreadCall borrows; VM fused VecPush/VecPushField/
VecPushMethod with TakeSlot/TakeVar, true Env moves, moved return
payloads and slot-only tail-take. vec.append remapped to the value
form so both engines agree. Fixtures, parity entries, v3 fuzz shapes
and the append-elision report included.

+# Append-elision report: move-on-self-reassign (native + VM)
+
+Branch: `perf/move-append-elision` · Date: 2026-10-02 · Machine: `x86_64`
+Corpus manifest sha: `645532fc56366eaa` (deterministic, seed 7)
+
+## 1. Objective
+
+Eliminate the quadratic append pattern (`x = vec.push(x, e)` and
+shape-alikes) on both engines via move-on-self-reassign: take the array
+out of its home, push in place, store back — zero clones on the steady
+path.
+
+## 2. Mechanism
+
+**Native** (`crates/zz_codegen/{lower/move_elide.rs,runtime/collections.c}`):
+`zz_vec_push_take` / `zz_object_push_field_take` plus `zz_len_field`
+(reads a field length without the getter's retaining clone). A take
+fires only when the buffer counter proves unique ownership
+(`arr->refs == 1`); every miss falls back to the generic
+clone-push-store, which is always value-correct. `x = f(x, …)` threads
+the argument through by borrow plus `refs == 1`.
+
+**VM** (`crates/zz_runtime/src/vm/{compiler,runtime}.rs`, `env.rs`,
+`capture.rs`): fused `VecPush` / `VecPushField` / `VecPushMethod` ops
+with `TakeSlot` / `TakeVar` homes, stdlib arg-slot reuse, true `Env`
+moves (`EnvLink::take` / `try_assign` — same owning-scope and
+frozen-detach discipline as `assign`, but moving instead of cloning),
+a moved (never cloned) `unwind_frame` return payload, and tail-take:
+a function ending in `return x` / bare `x` moves the frame local out
+instead of deep-cloning it (NRVO-equivalent; outer bindings keep the
+cloning load). Top-level statements no longer force environment
+promotion (`nested` capture flag); callee-position references stay
+promoted because `CallPath` resolves through the environment.
+
+## 3. Refcount / take trace: `doc = push_node(doc, x)` (11-array struct)
+
+Per key on the steady path (verified with temporary `FUSE` emission
+and runtime hit/miss probes, since removed):
+
+1. `TakeSlot(thread_doc.doc)` — the module-global load moves instead
+   of cloning (path-thread take; slot home proves no callee can name
+   the transient `Unit`).
+2. Call args move into param slots (no clone on entry).
+3. 5× `VecPushField(home=Slot(0))` — all direct in-place hits
+   (`refs == 1`); zero fallback clones.
+4. Tail `TakeSlot(doc)` — the returned struct moves out, no O(n) deep
+   clone (this was the last quadratic: `Value::Array`/`Object` clones
+   are deep, so one missed return clone per key is O(n²)).
+5. `unwind_frame` moves the payload; `StoreSlot` restores the global.
+
+Native mirrors it: borrow + `refs == 1` takes, struct returns are
+shallow retains (O(1)), misses use the healing fallback.
+
+## 4. Before / after (release, time ms / peak RSS KiB)
+
+BEFORE = main (`zz 0.1.4`, `/tmp/before_main_release.md`);
+AFTER = this branch (`zz 0.1.6`, `/tmp/after_final_release.md`).
+Method: `bench/move_append/run.py` (`--zz` selects the binary), wall
+clock + per-child `wait4` `ru_maxrss`.

+
+Flat on both engines (residual slope is per-key constant work: 5 field
+pushes + call/return; N=0 startup is ~60–190 ms depending on load).
+
+## 5. Real `toml.parse` re-measurement (no changes to `../toml`)
+
+A path-dep bench project (`/home/zaid/toml_bench`, own `zz.lock` +
+`vendor/` link; `../toml` untouched — `git status` there is clean)
+runs real `toml.parse` on the harness corpus with the new release
+compiler. Before-numbers via the old compiler are unavailable: the
+0.1.4 binary cannot compile the current toml source (checker drift —
+`expected Result<…>, found unit` in `parser.zz`), so the proxy table
+above stands as the before-baseline.
+
+| corpus | VM after (release) |
+|--------|--------------------|
+| flat_8k (486 nodes) | ~14–17 s |
+| flat_32k (1943 nodes) | ~249–286 s |
+| flat_128k | >590 s (timeout) |
+| mixed_8k (29 nodes) | ~3.4 s |
+| mixed_32k (111 nodes) | ~37–115 s (wide: measured under full test-suite load) |
+| mixed_128k | >590 s (timeout) |
+
+**Analysis — appends are linear, parsing is not:** every parsed key
+does 3× sorted-position `vec.insert` into the `x_*` lookup index
+(`value.zz`: `table_insert` → `xsearch` + insert). Each insert is an
+O(n) memmove plus an *unfused* whole-array clone (`insert` has no take
+form), so per-key cost is O(n) regardless of push elision — ~17× time
+for 4× keys on flat files. Fusing `x = vec.insert(x, i, v)` would only
+shrink the constant (the shift remains); true linearity needs a
+parser-side index change (append + sort once, or a hash index). That
+is a follow-up in the toml package, explicitly out of scope here.
+
+## 6. Correctness
+
+- **Aliasing fixtures** (`tests/fixtures/regression/move_append_{alias,early_exit,spawn,field,shapes,append}.zz`):
+  live shares (`b = a`), self-push, double-read elems, dict slots,
+  closure captures, spawn snapshots, `?` early exit, `break` windows —
+  all byte-identical VM vs native. Values print as `name=value`
+  (never bare numbers): the parity harness strips purely-numeric
+  lines, so bare-number fixtures compare vacuously — caught live when
+  the struct-copy known-failure reported a false "FIXED!".
+- **Fuzz** (`tests/fuzz/gen.py --shapes v3`, 9 families: alias,
+  self-push, method/append loops, field loops, threading, closure
+  capture, dict slots, early exit): 1000 cases, VM exit 0 × 1000,
+  native exit 0 × 1000, **0 divergences**.
+- **ASan** (temporary `ZZ_ASAN_OLEVEL` hook, reverted after): all
+  e2e fixtures (202: syntax/types/stdlib/regression/errors) at -O1
+  and -O3, plus the 60-case v3 screen at both levels, with
+  `detect_leaks=0`. Result: the **only** error is
+  `extension_methods.zz` (null+8 SEGV), which reproduces on the
+  main-branch binary — a pre-existing known native failure, not from
+  takes. Exit-time leaks exist but are pre-existing (the generic
+  `vec.push` path leaks identically; the runtime never frees
+  exit-live values).
+- **Suites**: `scripts/test-fast.sh` green (fmt, clippy `-D warnings`,
+  all unit tests incl. 165 `zz_runtime` + fused-op emission tests,
+  e2e VM, parity VM-leg 111/111); full dual-engine parity 110/111
+  with the single miss being the vacuous-comparison artifact above,
+  fixed by labeled prints and re-verified 7/7 on both engines.
+- **Free-push misrouting regression**: `vm_fused_free_push_emits_vec_push_not_method`
+  pins that 2-arg `vec.push` fuses to `VecPush`, not the method path.
+- **Tail-take regression**: `vm_tail_take_moves_param_and_spares_outer`
+  pins param moves and outer-binding safety for functions and closures.
+
+## 7. `vec.append` resolution (was: tracked VM-vs-native divergence)
+
+Correct behavior per `docs/stdlib.md` is the VM/docs behavior:
+`vec.append(v, x)` returns the new array (alias for `vec.push`).
+The native backend lowered it to an in-place unit mutator instead.
+Fix: map `vec.append | std.vec.append` to `zz_vec_push` (value form);
+statement position still mutates in place via the existing
+void-context swap, same as `vec.push`. The `move_append_append`
+fixture is now strict parity on both engines, and `docs/stdlib.md`
+documents the alias row.
+
+## 8. Open design decisions / follow-ups
+
+1. **Native struct-clone sharing** (`move_append_struct_copy`,
+   `parity_known_failure`): `zz_clone` bumps only the object header
+   while `zz_release_object` frees field buffers — a cloned struct
+   shares field arrays at `arr->refs == 1`. Options: (a) deep-bump
+   retain (clone bumps field counters; touches every struct clone);
+   (b) COW field write (check-and-dup on set; touches every field
+   store); (c) keep value-divergence documented (status quo). The
+   take gate on the buffer counter is observably equivalent to the
+   generic path either way, so takes are safe regardless.
+2. **Frozen-chain take/assign below a frozen level** drops the
+   intermediate frozen vars (same pre-existing shape as `assign_rec`);
+   takes only fire for frame-local homes so the path is nearly
+   unreachable — shares the fix with `assign` if ever addressed.
+3. **Real-toml linearity** needs the parser-side index change (§5).
+4. **`vec.insert` take fusion** (`x = vec.insert(x, i, v)`): small,
+   constant-factor only; worth doing with (3) or if insert-heavy
+   workloads appear.
+5. Full-e2e ASan ran with `detect_leaks=0`; a leak-free-exit pass
+   would need runtime teardown work first (pre-existing).
+
+## 9. Assumptions
+
+- Previous numbers = `docs/perf/baseline.md` + `/tmp/before_main_release.md`
+  (main, release); fixed ~160 ms startup overhead excluded from
+  scaling claims; some after-numbers measured under concurrent build
+  load (flat speedups of 10–1000× make load noise immaterial, and
+  key scalings were re-verified quiet).
+- No merge performed; branch `perf/move-append-elision` only.

Subject: [PATCH 034/145] fix: raw-scalar fields in unboxed literals + release
 boxed container temps (AOT)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Unboxed struct literals assumed boxed scalar fields, miscompiling
Box{v: i} for raw i as (i).i. Scalar fields now extract .i/.f/.b only
from boxed forms (via emitted_is_raw_scalar), else use raw as-is.

Container appends clone for store, so freshly boxed struct temps are
released right after the append statement. Without it, loops building
(int, Rng) tuples retained ~0.5KB per draw (105MB over 200k draws);
now flat. Guarded to constructed temp names only — borrowed locals
and inline fallbacks are untouched. Lowered-C regression test added.

+# AOT parity fix plan — nested `[[str]]` corruption + UTF-8 string measure
+
+Branch: `fix/aot-nested-array-utf8-parity` (branched from `dev` @ `8604635`)
+Status: PLAN ONLY — no runtime/codegen changes yet.
+Toolchain verified: `zz 0.1.6`, `clang 22.1.8`, Linux x86_64, repo `/home/zaid/Projects/zz_lang`.
+
+## 0. Repro status on this branch (2026-10-03)
+
+| repro | VM (`zz run`) | native (`zz run --native` / `build -p` binary) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `mini1.zz` (struct `T{rows:[[str]]}` + 2× `vec.push`) | `Alice/25/Bob/30/mini1_ok` | **PASSES here** at `-O0` and `-O3 -flto=thin` (both local `target/debug/zz` and installed `~/.cargo/bin/zz`) |
+| `mini2.zz` (plain local `[[str]]` + 2× `vec.push`) | `Alice/25/30/mini2_ok` | **PASSES here** at `-O0` and `-O3` |
+| `stress.zz` (struct + `mkrow()` + `for range(0,5)` push) | passes | passes |
+| `mini4.zz` (`len("╭─╮")`, `str.length`, `s[0]`, `s[1]`) | `3/3/╭/─` | **FAILS here**: `9/9/�/�` — bug 2 CONFIRMED |
+
+Conclusion: bug 2 is a hard AOT/VM divergence, reproducible with a 4-liner.
+Bug 1 does **not** reproduce with the minimal 2-push fixtures on current `dev`
+HEAD — the recent `move-append-elision` (`386ada7`, `175bd72`, `8604635`) and
+`aot-container-temp-release` (`2ed5032`/`cbdc780`) merges are the prime
+suspects and the table-pkg demo (`rounded + title/footer + std.colors +
+markdown`, row-major `[[str]]` + widen + re-stride) is the real trigger.
+Phase 0 below fetches that trigger before touching codegen.
+
+Repro files used (kept in `/tmp/repro/`, will become fixtures in Phase 0):
+
+```zz
+// mini1.zz
+import std.vec
+struct T { rows: [[str]] }
+func main() {
+  t := T{ rows: [] }
+  t.rows = vec.push(t.rows, ["Alice", "25"])
+  t.rows = vec.push(t.rows, ["Bob", "30"])
+  println(t.rows[0][0]) // native bug report: <value>, expect Alice
+  println(t.rows[0][1])
+  println(t.rows[1][0])
+  println(t.rows[1][1])
+  println("mini1_ok")
+}
+```
+
+```zz
+// mini4.zz
+import std.str
+func main() {
+  println(len("╭─╮"))         // VM 3, native 9
+  println(str.length("╭─╮"))  // VM 3, native 9
+  s := "╭─╮"
+  println(s[0])  // VM ╭, native �
+  println(s[1])  // VM ─, native �
+}
+```
+
+## 1. Bug 2 (major, confirmed) — AOT counts bytes, VM counts chars
+
+### 1.1 Contract (VM is source of truth)
+
+- `crates/zz_stdlib/src/natives/iterators/mod.rs::len`: `Value::Str(s) → s.chars().count()`.
+- `crates/zz_stdlib/src/natives/str_mod/mod.rs::str_length`: `s.chars().count()`.
+- `crates/zz_runtime/src/runtime/ops.rs::get_index`: `s.chars().collect()[idx]` (char-indexed, negative-aware via `normalize_index`).
+- `crates/zz_runtime/src/runtime/ops.rs::slice_value`: char-sliced (`chars[a..b]`).
+- Docs say `str` is UTF-8; `len`/`str.length`/indexing must agree across engines.
+- Pure ASCII unaffected (bytes == chars), which is why this hid until box-drawing/CJK.
+
+### 1.2 Current AOT behavior (all byte-based)
+
+| location | behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `crates/zz_codegen/src/runtime/strings.h::zz_str_get` (inline) | `s->len` as count, `zz_str_new(ptr+i, 1)` — byte offset, 1-byte slice. Comment even admits "established engine difference". |
+| `crates/zz_codegen/src/runtime/strings.c::zz_str_length` | returns `s->len` (bytes). Comment says "in bytes". |
+| `crates/zz_codegen/src/runtime/collections.c::zz_len` + `zz_len_field` + `zz_vec_len` | `s->len` bytes for `ZZ_STR`. |
+| `crates/zz_codegen/src/runtime/collections.c::zz_slice_value` (`ZZ_STR` arm) | byte `si/ei` + `zz_str_new(ptr+si, ei-si)` — slices mid-codepoint. |
+| `zz_str_split` empty-sep arm | `for i in 0..len → 1-byte items` — must become per-char. |
+
+### 1.3 Fix design (C runtime only, no codegen shape change)
+
+Add UTF-8 helpers in `strings.h`/`strings.c` (static inline + tested):
+
+```c
+// returns Unicode scalar count (chars), not bytes.
+size_t zz_str_chars(const zz_str *s);
+// byte offset of char index `i` (negative already normalized by caller).
+// returns (size_t)-1 when out of range.
+size_t zz_str_byte_off(const zz_str *s, int64_t char_idx);
+// byte length of the codepoint starting at byte offset `off`.
+size_t zz_utf8_seq_len(unsigned char lead);
+```
+
+Rules:
+- Count with the standard UTF-8 lead-byte table (`0xxxxxxx→1`, `110xxxxx→2`, `1110xxxx→3`, `11110xxx→4`), continuation bytes `10xxxxxx` never start a char.
+- Invalid bytes (lone continuation, truncated sequence, overlong — keep it simple): treat as 1 single-byte char (never crash, never loop forever; matches Rust `chars()` lossy-ish fallback closely enough for parity tests, document in comment).
+- `zz_str_get`: normalize negative against **char** count, map char idx → byte off → seq len → `zz_str_new(ptr+off, seq_len)`.
+- `zz_str_length` / `zz_len` / `zz_len_field` (`ZZ_STR` arms): return `zz_str_chars`.
+- `zz_slice_value` (`ZZ_STR` arm): normalize `si/ei` against char count, map both to byte offsets (`ei==nchars → s->len`), then `zz_str_new`.
+- `zz_str_split` empty-sep: iterate by codepoint, not byte.
+- Audit-only (no change, add comment): `contains`/`replace`/`startswith`/`endswith`/`join`/`split(sep≠"")` are byte-`memcmp` — correct for valid UTF-8 (substring byte match ⟺ char-boundary match when both sides are valid UTF-8). `trim`/`lower`/`upper` are ASCII-only today on **both** engines for these paths (VM `trim` is Unicode-aware — check `str_trim` parity separately; `lower`/`upper` VM uses `to_lowercase`/`to_uppercase` which is Unicode-aware vs AOT ASCII-only — file as follow-up, out of scope for this fix except docs).
+- `zz_str_view`/FFI stays byte-based (bytes + len pair, no semantic change).
+
+Performance: char counting is O(n). `len()` in a loop over a large string becomes O(n²) worst-case — same as VM today (`s.chars().count()`), so parity first, optimize later (cache char count in header as follow-up, not this branch).
+
+Security: all new loops bound by `s->len`, no NUL reliance (`sso`/`heap` may embed NUL — use `len`, never `strlen`). No new `malloc` failure paths except existing `zz_str_new` (already exits on OOM).
+
+### 1.4 Bug 2 tests
+
+- New e2e fixtures (register with `e2e_success_test!` in `crates/zz_cli/tests/e2e.rs`, follow `tests/fixtures/{syntax,types,stdlib}/` conventions — each prints trailing success marker):
+  - `tests/fixtures/stdlib/str_utf8_len.zz` — `len` + `str.length` on `"╭─╮"`, `"héllo"`, `"日本語"`, `""`, ASCII control; asserts `3/5/3/0`.
+  - `tests/fixtures/stdlib/str_utf8_index_slice.zz` — `s[0]/s[1]/s[-1]`, `s[0:2]`, OOB → error path, negative slice.
+  - `tests/fixtures/stdlib/str_utf8_split.zz` — `str.split(s, "")` yields per-char array (VM parity).
+- New Rust unit tests:
+  - `crates/zz_codegen/src/tests.rs` (or new `utf8` module): lower `mini4` and assert emitted C calls char helpers (snapshot the `zz_str_get`/`zz_len` call shape, not full C).
+  - C-level: if repo has a C harness pattern, add `zz_str_chars` table test (`╭` = 3 bytes/1 char, `─` = 3 bytes, mixed ASCII+CJK, invalid byte `0xFF` → 1 char, empty).
+- Dual-engine parity: extend `crates/zz_cli/tests/dual_engine_parity.rs` with the utf8 fixtures (VM leg + `--native` leg must both print `3/3/╭/─`).
+
+## 2. Bug 1 (critical, needs trigger) — nested `[[str]]` first-element corruption + SIGSEGV
+
+### 2.1 What we know
+
+- VM tree-walker correct; AOT wrong. Flat `[str]` struct fields verified clean on both engines → not `vec.push` alone, not struct layout alone; points at **inner-array value handling** (box/unbox, slice header, retain/store).
+- Downstream: first-row cells garbage (`Alice→A`, `25→G`) then `signal 11`. `<value>` on `println(t.rows[0][0])` means the loaded `zz_value.tag` hit the `default:` printer arm — a corrupted tag, i.e. use-after-free / unretained temp / buffer overwrite, not a wrong-string bug.
+- Minimal 2-push repro passes on `dev` HEAD at `-O0` and `-O3 -flto=thin` → the corruption needs more pressure (loop arena resets, `refs==1` in-place take, dup sharing, or struct-field path). Recent merges touched exactly this:
+  - `386ada7`/`175bd72`/`8604635` move-on-self-reassign (`zz_vec_push_take`, `zz_object_push_field_take`, `MOVED_TYPE`, `takeable_slot`).
+  - `cbdc780` container-temp release (`append_container_item` releases `emit_boxed_value` temps).
+  - `0795339` unboxed-struct boxing in array/tuple literals.
+
+### 2.2 Suspect list (in priority order, with files/lines)
+
+1. `zz_vec_push_take` / `zz_object_push_field_take` in `collections.c:899-960` + `lower/move_elide.rs:172-302`:
+   - In-place gate is `arr->refs == 1`. But struct clones (`zz_clone`/`zz_retain_object`) bump only the **object header**, never field buffers (comment in code admits this), while `zz_release_object` frees field buffers. So a cloned struct can share a field array at `refs==1` → in-place `zz_array_push` mutates a buffer still aliased by the sibling → first element overwritten / double-free → SIGSEGV. The code comment already flags "tracked as follow-up (see move_append_struct_copy known-failure)". Nested `[[str]]` widens this: outer dup is shallow (`zz_array_dup` clones `zz_value`s by bumping inner array `refs`, but inner `zz_array` headers stay shared) — verify the inner `refs` accounting on the `take` path.
+   - `zz_object_push_field_take` fallback does `get+push+release(slot)+*slot=n` — check missing `zz_release(&cur)`/double-release ordering when `cur` aliases `slot`.
+2. Array literal construction in `lower/expr.rs:900-964` + `append_container_item:3316-3350` + `context.rs:try_emit_stack_array/emit_scalar_init`:
+   - `["Alice","25"]` is a non-scalar literal → `zz_array_new[_arena_sized]` + per-item `zz_vec_append` with `zz_clone_for_store`. If the literal was arena-allocated (`arena_for(span)` non-NULL inside a loop/function with arena reset) and then stored into an escaping outer array without `zz_str_heal_arena`/`zz_clone_for_store` on the **array value itself** (healing today covers strings only), the next `zz_arena_reset` reuses the inner header/items → first-element garbage. Check: does `zz_clone_for_store` handle `ZZ_ARRAY` with arena sentinel `refs==0`/`LIT_MAGIC`/`ARENA_MAGIC`? Today it only heals `ZZ_STR`.
+   - `zz_array_push_lit` stores without clone — only valid for scalar inits; confirm no string/inner-array literal ever takes that path (guard is `all_scalar`, but re-verify after `emit_scalar_init` changes).
+   - `Index` lowering `expr.rs:765-789`: `Ident` receivers pass **borrowed** (no clone) to `zz_index_get`, which returns `zz_clone(item)`. For `rows[0][0]` the outer `zz_index_get(rows,0)` result is an rvalue temp; the inner `[0]` then borrows that temp — lifetime is the full expression, OK, but check the generated temp scoping when chained as `t.rows[0][0]` (field-get temp + two index temps + `println` arg). Dump the C.
+3. Retain/release in `core.c` (`zz_clone`/`zz_release`/`zz_assign`, `zz_release_array`) + `memory.c` arena (`zz_arena_reset/destroy`):
+   - `zz_array_dup` shallow-clone bumps inner refs — confirm every bump has a matching release on overwrite (`zz_array_set`, `zz_object_set_field`, `zz_vec_pop/remove/insert`).
+   - `zz_release_array` must skip `STACK_MAGIC`/`LIT_MAGIC`/arena headers but still release items appropriately — a missed item-release leaks; a double item-release corrupts the first element first (lowest address, first freed).
+4. Struct field paths: `emit_struct_init`, boxed `zz_object_new/set/get_field` (`collections.c:610-729`), unboxed `zz_struct_*` in `fn_decl.rs:272+`, and `zz_len_field` (它 borrows without retain — confirm no path stores that borrowed pointer).
+
+### 2.3 Phase 0 — get the failing trigger (do NOT skip)
+
+1. Fetch the table pkg demo from the bug report (`table/examples/demo.zz`: rounded + title/footer + `std.colors` + markdown) into `/tmp/table-demo/` (not into the repo).
+2. `zz run` vs `zz run --native` (and `zz build -p` + binary) — confirm `Alice→A / 25→G` + SIGSEGV natively.
+3. `git bisect` between `v0.1.6` tag and `dev` HEAD if demo fails on one but not the other; else reduce: `creduce`-by-hand — delete styles/colors/markdown/widen until minimal failing file (goal: ≤30 lines, still `[[str]]` + struct + loop or function boundary).
+4. Dump the failing C: `zz build --verbose` keeps the TU (see `crates/zz_cli/src/build.rs:966` `lower_only` + `emit_c_plus_script`); capture the `t.rows = …push…` + `rows[0][0]` region and attach to the fix PR.
+5. Only then choose the fix below (A/B/C) — do not "fix" the minimal passing repro.
+
+### 2.4 Fix candidates (pick after Phase 0, in this order)
+
+- **A (most likely): heal/clone arrays on retaining stores.** Extend `zz_clone_for_store` (or add `zz_clone_array_for_store`) to dup arena/stack/lit arrays on store into escaping containers (`zz_vec_append/push`, `zz_dict_set`, `zz_object_set_field`, `zz_array_set`), mirroring the existing string-heal. Guard: only when `refs` is a sentinel (`0`, `STACK/LIT/ARENA_MAGIC`); heap `refs>=1` keeps sharing + bump.
+- **B: tighten the `refs==1` in-place gate.** Make field-buffer sharing exact: either deep-bump field arrays on struct clone (costly — measure), or add COW on field write (check `slot->arr->refs` **and** object alias count), or disable `zz_object_push_field_take` in-place when the base object `refs > 1`. Smallest safe change: fall back to `get+push+set` whenever the base object is shared.
+- **C: fix temp lifetime in chained `a[i][j]` / `t.f[i][j]` lowering.** Hoist each `zz_index_get` into a named temp with explicit `zz_release` after use (the `Index` fast path currently emits nested calls inline — confirm the inner temp outlives the outer under `-O3 -flto=thin` + `__atomic` refcounts).
+
+All three keep the `vec.push` copy-on-write contract (VM: input untouched) — add an assertion test for it.
+
+### 2.5 Bug 1 tests
+
+- Reduced fixture(s) from Phase 0 as `tests/fixtures/stdlib/vec_nested_str_push.zz` (+ struct variant `struct_nested_str_push.zz`), each printing all cells + trailing `_ok` marker, registered in `e2e.rs`.
+- `dual_engine_parity.rs`: add nested-array cases (2-push, loop-push × N, struct-field, function-returned inner array, `x = vec.push(x, …)` self-reassign spelling + `x.push(…)` method spelling).
+- ASan/UBSan gate (local, not CI): `clang -fsanitize=address,undefined` build of the reduced fixture must be clean; run the binary under `valgrind --tool=memcheck` if ASan is inconclusive.
+- Existing known-failure: `move_append_struct_copy` — re-run; this fix should close it or document why not.
+
+## 3. Execution phases
+
+- **Phase 0 — harness (0.5d):** table demo fetched, native failure confirmed, reduced fixture, C dump attached, `ZZ_PARITY_VM_ONLY=1` baseline green.
+- **Phase 1 — Bug 2 runtime (1d):** UTF-8 helpers + `zz_len`/`zz_str_length`/`zz_str_get`/`zz_slice_value`/`zz_str_split("")` + unit tests. No codegen changes. Verify `mini4` → `3/3/╭/─` on `--native`.
+- **Phase 2 — Bug 1 root-cause + fix (2-3d):** Phase 0 reduction → pick A/B/C → implement in `collections.c` (+ `move_elide.rs`/`expr.rs` if lowering) → ASan clean → `mini1/mini2` + reduced fixture green at `-O0` and `-p`.
+- **Phase 3 — parity suite (0.5d):** new fixtures registered, `dual_engine_parity` extended, full demo `zz run` vs `zz run --native` byte-identical, exit 0, no SIGSEGV.
+- **Phase 4 — gate (0.5d):** `./scripts/test-fast.sh`, then `cargo test --all` if time allows, plus `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings` and `cargo fmt --check`. Update `docs/stdlib.md` (`len`/`str.length`/indexing = chars) and remove/refresh the "established engine difference" comments in `strings.h`.
+
+## 4. Suggested verification (from the bug report — Definition of Done)
+
+1. `mini1`/`mini2` print all four cells correctly with `--native`, no `<value>`.
+2. `mini4` prints `3 / 3 / ╭ / ─` with `--native`.
+3. Full demo (`table/examples/demo.zz`: rounded + title/footer + `std.colors` + markdown) renders identically under `zz run` and `zz run --native`, exit 0, no SIGSEGV.
+4. Suite stays green: `./scripts/test-fast.sh` (or `cargo test --all` if time allows) + `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`, `cargo fmt --check`.
+
+## 5. Files to touch (expected)
+
+- `crates/zz_codegen/src/runtime/strings.h` — UTF-8 helpers + `zz_str_get` char-indexed.
+- `crates/zz_codegen/src/runtime/strings.c` — `zz_str_length`, `zz_str_split("")`, helpers.
+- `crates/zz_codegen/src/runtime/collections.c` — `zz_len`, `zz_len_field`, `zz_slice_value` (`ZZ_STR` arms); Bug 1 fix in `zz_vec_push_take`/`zz_object_push_field_take`/`zz_clone_for_store` (+ array-store healing).
+- `crates/zz_codegen/src/lower/expr.rs` — only if Phase 0 shows a lowering lifetime bug (`Index` chain temps, `append_container_item` arena healing).
+- `crates/zz_codegen/src/lower/move_elide.rs` — only if Phase 0 shows the `refs==1` gate is unsound (gate tightening).
+- Tests: `crates/zz_cli/tests/e2e.rs` + `tests/fixtures/stdlib/str_utf8_*.zz` + `vec_nested_str_push.zz`, `crates/zz_cli/tests/dual_engine_parity.rs`, `crates/zz_codegen/src/tests.rs`, `crates/zz_stdlib/src/natives/tests.rs::str_length_counts_chars` (extend with UTF-8).
+- Docs: `docs/stdlib.md`, comments in `strings.h`/`strings.c`/`collections.c`.
+
+## 6. Non-goals / follow-ups
+
+- Unicode `lower`/`upper`/`trim` parity (VM Unicode-aware vs AOT ASCII-only) — document, fix separately.
+- Char-count caching in `zz_str` header (perf) — only if benchmarks regress.
+- Table-pkg flat workaround (`cells:[str]` row-major + `nrows/ncols`) stays valid regardless; this branch removes the need for it on native.

Subject: [PATCH 036/145] fix: AOT parity for nested [[str]] stores and UTF-8
 string measure

Bug 1 (critical): loop-built inner arrays live on the loop arena but
retaining stores only healed strings, so outer arrays aliased arena
memory past zz_arena_reset (first-element garbage, <value>, SIGSEGV).
Add deep arena healing for arrays/dicts (zz_heal_for_move,
zz_clone_for_store) at every ingress path (array push, vec
append/push/insert, dict/object set, zz_assign), plus ARENA_MAGIC
migration in array-push/vec-insert growth.

Bug 2 (major): native len/str.length/index/slice counted bytes while
the VM counts chars. Add UTF-8 helpers, make all user-visible measures
char-based (split('') matches Rust empty-sep semantics exactly).

Tests: str_utf8_parity + vec_nested_str_parity fixtures, strict in e2e
and dual_engine_parity. ASan/UBSan clean; test-fast.sh green.

 # AOT parity fix plan — nested `[[str]]` corruption + UTF-8 string measure
 
 Branch: `fix/aot-nested-array-utf8-parity` (branched from `dev` @ `8604635`)
-Status: PLAN ONLY — no runtime/codegen changes yet.
+Status: FIXED + VERIFIED — see §7. Implementation committed on this branch.
 Toolchain verified: `zz 0.1.6`, `clang 22.1.8`, Linux x86_64, repo `/home/zaid/Projects/zz_lang`.
 
 ## 0. Repro status on this branch (2026-10-03)
@@ -189,3 +189,59 @@ All three keep the `vec.push` copy-on-write contract (VM: input untouched) — a
 - Unicode `lower`/`upper`/`trim` parity (VM Unicode-aware vs AOT ASCII-only) — document, fix separately.
 - Char-count caching in `zz_str` header (perf) — only if benchmarks regress.
 - Table-pkg flat workaround (`cells:[str]` row-major + `nrows/ncols`) stays valid regardless; this branch removes the need for it on native.
+- Chained index *stores* (`t.rows[0][0] = x`): VM drops the write into a temp
+  clone (read-back shows the old value), native writes through. Pre-existing
+  lowering-level divergence, untouched by this fix; new fixtures deliberately
+  cover reads only. Fix separately (either engine converging needs a
+  semantics decision + its own parity tests).
+
+## 7. Fix record (implemented on this branch)
+
+### Bug 2 — UTF-8 measure (VM parity restored)
+- `runtime/strings.h`: new `zz_utf8_seq_len` / `zz_str_char_len` /
+  `zz_str_char_byte_off` helpers; `zz_str_get` rewritten char-indexed
+  (negative-aware, OOB → unit + err). Invalid bytes count as one
+  single-byte char each (never crash/loop).
+- `runtime/strings.c`: `zz_str_length` returns chars; `zz_str_split` empty
+  separator emits per-char items AND matches Rust `split("")` exactly
+  (`"ab"` → `["", "a", "b", ""]`, `""` → `["", ""]`).
+- `runtime/collections.c`: `zz_len` / `zz_len_field` (`ZZ_STR` arms) return
+  chars; `zz_slice_value` (`ZZ_STR` arm) normalizes + maps char bounds to
+  byte offsets. Byte-internal ops (concat/compare/print/hash) untouched.
+- Verified: `mini4` → `3/3/╭/─` on `--native` (`-O0` and `-p -O3`);
+  extended edge fixture (negative index, slices, empty/ASCII, split empties)
+  byte-identical VM vs native.
+
+### Bug 1 — nested `[[str]]` arena aliasing (SIGSEGV fixed)
+- Reproduced on `dev` HEAD: struct-field + loop push (`loopfield.zz`)
+  SIGSEGVs natively while VM passes. Root cause: inner literals use
+  `zz_array_new_arena_sized` (header + items on the loop arena); retaining
+  stores only healed strings, so the outer heap array aliased arena memory
+  and `zz_arena_reset` overwrote it (first-element garbage → tag corruption
+  → `<value>` → SIGSEGV). Minimal 2-push repros pass because straight-line
+  temps are never released/reset.
+- `runtime/collections.{h,c}`: `zz_array_is_arena` / `zz_dict_is_arena`
+  predicates; `zz_heal_for_move` (move convention: copy arena incl. deep
+  nested + wrapper lookthrough, adopt heap) and extended
+  `zz_clone_for_store` (share convention: copy arena, `zz_clone` heap);
+  depth-capped at 32. Applied at every ingress: `zz_array_push`,
+  `zz_vec_append`/`push`/`insert`, `zz_dict_set`, `zz_object_set_field`,
+  `zz_assign` (skips the retain when it healed — fresh-owned needs none).
+  Ownership conventions per site preserved (share sites still bump, move
+  sites still adopt — no new leaks).
+- Hardening in the same area: `zz_array_push` + `zz_vec_insert` growth now
+  migrates `ZZ_ARRAY_ARENA_MAGIC` buffers to malloc before realloc
+  (`zz_vec_append` already did; realloc-on-arena is heap corruption).
+- Verified: `loopfield` + `tablelike` (10-row struct loop) + `mini1/mini2`
+  identical VM vs native at `-O0` and `-p`; ASan+UBSan clean (no UAF/UB;
+  only pre-existing exit-time leaks, same as baseline).
+
+### Tests added
+- `tests/fixtures/stdlib/str_utf8_parity.zz` + `vec_nested_str_parity.zz`
+  (plain + struct + loop shapes, read-only), registered strict in both
+  `crates/zz_cli/tests/e2e.rs` and `dual_engine_parity.rs`.
+- Gates: `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+  clean; `./scripts/test-fast.sh` green (incl. full dual-engine parity).
+  Note: `zz_lsp cross_file::parse_file_entry_performance` flaked once
+  under parallel clang load (66ms vs threshold) and passes in isolation
+  (0.02s) — unrelated crate, no shared code with this fix.

Subject: [PATCH 037/145] fix: parser typed-decl in while cond, len(dict)
 native, call-result struct field

Bug3 (frontend): while/if cond ending in ident plus block starting with typed decl was misparsed as struct init (nrows{row:...}). Old guard only excluded Ident-type decls. Now speculatively parse one type after colon and check for =, covering [str], dict, generic types.

Bug4 (AOT): zz_len ignored ZZ_DICT, always 0. Add dict->len branch plus zz_len_field dict branch for parity with VM.

Bug5/6 (codegen): field access on call results emitted raw (call).field causing no member in zz_value. Calls lower boxed always, so restrict unboxed direct access to Ident/StructInit/Field-Path chains rooted at raw values. Same root rule for display dispatch.

Subject: [PATCH 038/145] fix: native sqlz row cN aliases plus struct == boxing
 and deep equality

Bug7: native sqlz.query keyed rows by real column names while the VM
uses positional c0..cN fallback objects, so rows[0].c0 read empty.
Emit both keys per column (real name plus cN alias, skipping the
duplicate write when they match) in SQLite core.c and the PG
staticlib path, mirroring the VM fallback shape without breaking
struct-annotated reads.

struct == (pre-existing): unboxed struct operands lowered raw into
zz_binop (compile fail) or would have compared as unit. Box raw
struct operands to runtime objects in Binary/And/Or/Elvis lowering
and add deep zz_values_equal for objects/dicts/arrays/options in
the C runtime.

Subject: [PATCH 039/145] feat: trailing commas in call args, func params,
 closure params

Accept f(a, b,), func f(a: int,) and |x, y,| forms, including
multi-line (newlines in parens are lexer trivia). Mirrors the
existing trailing-comma support in array/tuple/dict/struct
literals. Explicit semicolons still error (no StmtEnd skipping).

Subject: [PATCH 040/145] feat(test): cargo-style grouped output, VM default +
 AOT engine

- Per-file blocks: Running <file>, test <name> ... ok/FAILED,
  test result footers; no symbols, CI-greppable words
- Live test-by-test streaming in serial and parallel modes
- AOT engine via --native/--aot/--engine (dev default, -p release):
  per-file dispatch binary, one process per test
- Zero-config ./tests/ discovery, 60s soft budget, --fail-on-empty

 //! `zz test` — discover and run `@test`-annotated functions.
 //!
+//! Engines:
+//! - VM (default): each test runs in a fresh `Interp` (in-process).
+//! - AOT (`--native`): each test file is compiled once (dev profile) into
+//!   a per-test dispatch binary; every test runs in its own process
+//!   (exit-code isolation — a failing `assert` aborts only its process).
+//!
 //! Design decisions (see docs/test-isolation.md):
-//! - Each test runs in a **fresh `Interp`** (in-process isolation; no fork).
-//! - Panic isolation via `std::panic::catch_unwind`.
-//! - Timeout via cooperative budget (op counter), not wall-clock.
+//! - VM: panic isolation via `std::panic::catch_unwind`.
+//! - Timeout: `@test(timeout = ms)` is a hard timeout (VM: watcher thread,
+//!   AOT: child kill). `--timeout <ms>` (default 60s) is a soft budget —
+//!   overruns print a notice but never interrupt or fail the test.
 //! - `--nocapture` forces `--serial` (interleaved output is noise).
 //! - `--jobs N` uses a thread pool with work-stealing (default: logical cores).
+//! - Files run sequentially so output stays grouped per file
+//!   (`Running <file>` blocks); tests *within* a file run serial/parallel
+//!   per `--serial`/`--jobs`.
+//! - No-arg discovery prefers `./tests/` when it holds `.zz` files
+//!   (zero-config; no `zz.toml` needed), else the current directory.

+### Engines
+
+- **VM** (default): fastest. Each test runs in a fresh `Interp`;
+  `@teardown` always runs, even on failure.
+- **AOT** (`--native`, dev build; `-p` upgrades to release): each test
+  file is compiled once, then every test runs in its own process.
+  A failing `assert` aborts only its own process (exit-code isolation),
+  and segfaults/signal deaths are reported per test instead of killing
+  the suite. Limitation: `@teardown` is skipped when its test fails in
+  AOT (the process is already gone); the VM still runs it. `should_panic`,
+  `retry`, `cases`, `timeout`, and `@setup` behave the same on both.
+
 ### `--nocapture` + parallel execution
 
 `--nocapture` **forces `--serial` automatically** (recommended). Reasoning: parallel live output interleaves lines nondeterministically and breaks diff/assert rendering. When `--nocapture --jobs N` is passed, the runner emits a note `note: --nocapture forces --serial (ignoring --jobs N)` and runs serially. Alternative considered — prefixing every line with `[test_name]` — was rejected for `zz test` v1 because it still scrambles assertion diffs and confuses CI parsers expecting contiguous blocks per test. A prefixed parallel live mode may return under `--isolate` (subprocess, per-test fd) in v2.

 - Per-test timing; `--slow-threshold` flags slow passes even on pass.
 - Global footer across files: `test result: ... N total across M files; ...`.

Subject: [PATCH 042/145] feat(test): kill all five limitations

- Per-test stdout capture (thread-local in std print/println):
  passing suites quiet, failures show output, --json clean
- VM hard timeouts run in a worker subprocess with true
  wall-clock kill (no leaked threads, preempts blocking
  natives); only timed tests pay spawn cost
- AOT teardown always runs via split t/d dispatch arms, even
  when the test aborts its process
- --allow-source-builds/--allow-hooks passthrough for --native
- tag = serial lane runs sequentially inside parallel mode

- zz_native_rt::term: termios raw mode, single-byte read_key, ioctl
  get_size, is_tty; shared VM + AOT (zz_term_*) source
- stdlib lockstep: checker sigs, VM natives, STDLIB_MODULES, codegen FFI
- hermetic e2e fixture (piped stdin degrades to .err, never hangs)
- docs/stdlib.md section; manual examples/raw_test.zz smoke script

+//! `std.term` terminal control for the unified native runtime.
+//!
+//! One implementation serves both engines: the VM calls the safe API
+//! ([`enable_raw`], [`disable_raw`], [`read_key`], [`get_size`],
+//! [`is_tty`]) through thin `zz_stdlib` adapters, while AOT binaries call
+//! the `extern "C"` `zz_term_*` functions (same `zz_value` convention as
+//! `zz_sys_*` / `zz_regexp_*`).
+//!
+//! Model:
+//! - `enable_raw` saves the current `termios` for stdin once (idempotent)
+//!   and switches stdin to raw: `ICANON`/`ECHO` off (byte-at-a-time,
+//!   no echo), `ISIG` off (Ctrl+C arrives as byte `3` so ZZ code can
+//!   restore the terminal via `defer` instead of dying with a raw TTY),
+//!   `IEXTEN` off, `IXON`/`ICRNL` off (no flow-control or CR mangling),
+//!   `OPOST` off, `CS8`, `VMIN=1`/`VTIME=0` (blocking single-byte reads).
+//! - `disable_raw` restores the saved state (idempotent — a second call
+//!   is a no-op success).
+//! - `read_key` blocks for exactly one byte on stdin and returns it as
+//!   `0–255`. Multi-byte keys (arrows: `27, 91, 68/67/65/66`) decode
+//!   ZZ-side with successive calls. `EINTR` is retried; EOF/closed stdin
+//!   is an error, never a hang.
+//! - Non-TTY (pipes, CI, redirected stdin) fails soft with
+//!   `.err("std.term.<op>: not a tty")` — callers degrade to `input()`.
+//! - Windows is a stub: same shapes, fallible ops `.err(unsupported)`
+//!   (`disable_raw`/`is_tty` stay total-friendly: no-op `Ok` / `false`).

+
+Raw mode clears `ICANON`/`ECHO` (plus `ISIG`, so Ctrl+C arrives as
+byte `3` and ZZ code can restore the terminal via `defer` instead of
+dying with a raw TTY). Arrow keys arrive as three reads
+(`27, 91, 68/67/65/66`) — decode them with successive `read_key`
+calls. Non-TTY stdin (pipes, CI) fails soft with
+`.err("std.term.<op>: not a tty")`, so always pair with `is_tty`:
+
+```zz
+import std.term
+
+func main() {
+    match term.enable_raw() {
+        .ok(_) => println("raw on"),
+        .err(e) => println("no tty: {e}"),

Subject: [PATCH 045/145] fix(codegen): free-function method receivers (Bug 8)

Method syntax on free functions (p.bump() -> bump(p)) dropped the
receiver, so callees read args[0] out of bounds (garbage/hang/segfault).
Resolve bare, {struct-ns}.{method}, and unique-suffix targets; box
unboxed-struct receivers for non-impl callees. Adds method_free_fn
regression fixture (parity strict + e2e).

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

destructuring now matches the VM (remove stale entry); struct_embedding
fails native compile (global unboxed struct passed raw to display
builtins) — verified pre-existing on origin/dev without the Bug 8 fix.
Sweep: 183/183, unexpected=0.

Subject: [PATCH 047/145] fix(codegen): method receivers on
 call/index/literal/field roots (Bug 8b)

Field-callee arm dropped the receiver for every non-Ident root
(chains, index, literal, nested field) and struct_box_for_arg mapped
explicit args against sig slot 0 (the receiver), so extra args were
boxed as the struct type. Both produced silent zeroed structs
natively while the VM was correct.

- Field arm: free-function resolution (bare, {ns}, unique suffix,
  bare native) now keeps the receiver; bare names require a real
  def since reachable holds phantom short names.
- Unknown-type receivers get the same fallback instead of unit.
- 3+ segment paths (o.inner.bump) fall back to free target with
  the head chain as receiver.
- struct_box_for_arg shifts by one past a non-impl receiver.
- Regression fixture method_chain_recv + e2e/parity registration.

Subject: [PATCH 048/145] Fix checker/runtime/AOT parity bugs: var collision,
 default args, indexed receivers

- checker: deep-resolve pub sigs on export and offset fresh-var ids
  above seeded ids, fixing cross-module Var(id) collisions that
  mis-typed valid programs (e.g. imported unit call + [str] return)
- runtime: fill omitted trailing defaults in tree-walker call_func,
  named-arg reorder, and VM call_value so the checker contract holds
  same-file and cross-module; compiler resolves bare Ident to
  namespaced func_info for inline fill
- codegen: keep Field-callee impl receivers (arr[0].m()), unbox boxed
  receivers into raw struct temps, and fix recv_shift so explicit
  args map past self for impl methods

Subject: [PATCH 049/145] Default zz build to static; fix native term.flush
 (dual-buffer deadlock)

- build: plain zz build now produces a static self-contained binary
  (ThinLTO, DCE, stripped); --dynamic opts back into the fast dynamic
  debug build, --static stays explicit (still errors where static is
  impossible), --static+--dynamic is rejected
- build: default-static degrades with a note instead of failing where
  static is impossible: macOS targets, programs needing the Rust
  native runtime (shared libstd), and machines without static
  libcurl.a/libsqlite3.a (fast cached link probe)
- runtime: term.flush() now also flushes C stdio (fflush(NULL)).
  AOT print() writes through C stdio while Rust flush() only flushed
  Rust's buffer, so raw TTY prompts sat invisible in the C buffer
  while read_key blocked - zero output, deadlock-looking hang.
  Verified with a pty round-trip of the ask demo's first prompt.
- tests: static-default + --dynamic e2e, native flush-before-read
  process test (prompt must arrive while child blocks on stdin)

Subject: [PATCH 050/145] Add zz build --full (max optimization) and -o output
 naming

--full: release base with full LTO (-O3, DCE, stripped); with
-- <train args> runs an inline instrument-train-optimize PGO
pipeline (mirrors zz profile phases, lands FullPgo). Conflicts
(--static/--dynamic/--pgo) and bare---without---full fail with
hints; training args never leak into flag parsing.
-o/--output: name the binary (bare name stays in bin/, path used
as-is go-like, .exe on Windows); publish-only, excluded from the
cache key. Help text, docs/cli.md, and e2e coverage included.

Subject: [PATCH 051/145] Fix compiler gaps: BIT bool coercion, method-shadow
 calls, selective native calls

- stdlib db: coerce SQLite BIT/BOOL/BOOLEAN columns to Bool on read
  (Rust decltype mapping + C sqlite3_column_decltype mirror), so
  bool-typed struct fields hold what the checker promises. Wires up
  the documented-but-dead int-to-bool contract; removes the dead
  coerce_column trap. rusqlite gains the column_decltype feature.
- checker: head.method() on a genuine local reads as a method call
  when the free-function reading is already impossible and the
  method reading fits with a matching receiver (local db.exec fixed;
  top-level/module/qualified behavior untouched by construction).
- loader: rewrite bare selective-import call callees to canonical
  paths verified against the checker seed (selective calls resolve
  statically on every engine instead of lowering to unit natively).
  Conservative shadowing scan; value positions untouched.
- checker: selective imports count as used via their canonical form
  (no spurious unused-import warnings after the rewrite).
- tests: db BIT unit test, local-db checker test, selective_calls
  e2e + parity fixture; generic_selective graduates from known
  failures (fixed by the rewrite).

Subject: [PATCH 052/145] Fix qualified-alias calls and first-class function
 values natively
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- HIR: edge qualified import-alias calls/values to canonical
  definitions (bodies live under canonical names, seed copies have
  none); canonical edges filtered to defined names so signature-only
  entries never misclassify as natives.
- codegen: redirect alias-spelled calls to canonical when the alias
  lacks body and native impl but canonical has one (std.-stripped
  variants included); same candidate rule for value positions.
- runtime: zz_func_of_static boxes a plain ZZ function as a callable
  value behind a dispatch thunk (RAW env cell, heap-owned) — f := add
  works; generics/externs/methods keep existing behavior.
- stdlib: MySQL BIT(1) cells coerce to Bool (wider BIT stays text).
- tests: alias_module_calls + selective value lines (e2e + parity),
  native_first_class_func_ref; generic_selective graduates from
  known failures.

Subject: [PATCH 053/145] feat(arena): add zz_arena bump allocator + compiler
 bench corpus
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

P0: bench/compiler/{small,medium,large}.zz + scripts/bench-compiler.sh.
Baseline (debug): small/medium ~24ms, large/2500-funcs ~305ms.
P1: new zz_arena crate — Bump (adaptive blocks, spill, caps,
checkpoint/rewind, scoped, reset/recycle, freeze) + Symbol interner
+ ArenaVec + Stats. 15 tests green, clippy/fmt clean.

+//! `zz_arena` — fast, light, automatic bump arena for compiler-side allocs.
+//!
+//! One idea: compilation phases never free individual nodes. A bump arena
+//! turns thousands of per-node `malloc`s into a few block allocations and
+//! frees everything with a single O(1) [`Bump::reset`].
+//!
+//! - **Fast:** allocation is a bumped pointer plus a bounds check, no atomics.
+//! - **Light:** no per-object header; blocks are recycled across files.
+//! - **Auto:** growth, large-object spill, and interning are automatic.
+//!   [`Bump::scoped`] rewinds speculative work on failure. Lifetimes prove
+//!   no use-after-reset.
+//!
+//! # Safety
+//!
+//! All `unsafe` in this crate lives in [`Bump::alloc_raw`]. Blocks are
+//! heap-stable (`Box<[u8]>` never moves its bytes), offsets are always
+//! aligned up, and every returned reference is tied to the arena lifetime.
+//! Types with `Drop` are intentionally leaked (never run) — only place
+//! trivial/`Copy` data or arena-owned strings here.

Subject: [PATCH 055/145] feat(arena): zero-copy lexer tokens (P2a)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Token.text: String -> Cow<'a,str>, Trivia.text -> &'a str. Lexer no
longer allocates for keywords, operators, numbers, idents, trivia —
only escape-processed/dedented strings own. Parser advance() clones
kind+span+Cow (no Vec/String allocs; leading trivia dropped).

large.zz check: 305ms -> 276ms debug (~10%). 309 frontend + 253 e2e
tests green, clippy/fmt clean.

Subject: [PATCH 056/145] feat(arena): skip no-op decorator re-expansion (P2b)

check_program_impl expanded unconditionally, so every compile paid
two full-program deep clones (HIR + checker re-expand, second always
a no-op). has_any_decorators() exhaustively scans (no wildcard arm:

Subject: [PATCH 057/145] feat(arena): checker key sharing + result moves (P3)

P3a: build_program moves CheckResult maps instead of cloning (funcs
map = one entry per function, cloned pointlessly per compile).
P3b: SpanKey.func String -> Arc<str>, scope stack Vec<Arc<str>>.
One heap alloc killed per checked expression; Arc (not Rc) because
TypedProgram lives in a static OnceLock + runtime shares the map
across threads. Runtime SpanKey sites use .as_str() (zero-copy).
Also fixes needless_borrow in zz_fmt from P2a Cow change.

release zz check large.zz: 68ms -> 53ms (~22%). e2e 253 green.

Subject: [PATCH 058/145] feat(arena): pre-join CallPath dotted names at
 compile time (P4)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Op::CallPath gains a precomputed joined field so the dispatch loop
never allocates a lookup string per dotted call. Attempted full
scratch-args threading for Call/CallPath/CallMethod was reverted:
Amdahl-capped (~9% max on fib) and unmeasurable on this box (Firefox
@55% CPU on 4 cores) — kept the certain win, dropped the noise.
CallNative's existing scratch stays untouched.

e2e 253 + runtime 179 green, clippy/fmt clean.

+# ZZ Compiler Arena (P0–P6 record)
+
+Fast + light + automatic memory discipline for the compile pipeline.
+No language semantics changed; every step measured; full suite green.
+
+## What shipped (branch `feat/arena-allocator`)
+
+| Phase | Change | Effect (`zz check`, large 2500-func file) |
+|---|---|---|
+| P0 | `bench/compiler/{small,medium,large}.zz` + `many_funcs` + `many_exprs` + `scripts/bench-compiler.sh` | baseline: 305ms debug / — release |
+| P1 | New `zz_arena` crate: `Bump` (64KB→4MB adaptive blocks, ¼-block spill, caps as `ArenaError`, checkpoint/rewind, closure `scoped`, reset-with-recycle, `FrozenBump`), deterministic `Symbol` interner, `ArenaVec`, `Stats` + `ZZ_ARENA_STATS=1` | infra, 15 tests |
+| P2a | Zero-copy lexer: `Token.text: String → Cow<'a, str>`, trivia borrows source, alloc-free `advance()` (was: full Token+trivia clone per consumed token) | 305ms → 276ms debug (~10%) |
+| P2b | `has_any_decorators()` skip in `check_program_impl` kills the wasted no-op re-expand clone (HIR already expanded once) | 276ms → 270ms debug |
+| P3a | `build_program` moves (not clones) the 4 result maps (`funcs` = one entry per function) | release 68ms → 53ms (~22%, with P3b) |
+| P3b | `SpanKey.func: String → Arc<str>`, scope stack `Vec<Arc<str>>` — one heap alloc killed per checked expression | release 68ms → 53ms (~22%, with P3a) |
+| P4 | `Op::CallPath.joined` precomputed at compile time — no lookup-string alloc per dotted call | directionally certain, ~zero on current benches |
+| P5 | LSP: no code change — daemon reuses the same parse/check pipeline, inherits all wins; owned `Program` per doc retained (bounded RSS) | 168 lsp tests green |
+
+Scoreboard: debug 305ms → 270ms (~11%); release large.zz 68ms → 53ms (~22%), many_funcs 49ms → 39ms (~20%).
+
+## Deliberate non-goals (measured rejections)
+
+- **Full `&'a Expr` arena AST**: runtime spawn snapshots + LSP need owned
+  trees; copies at every boundary go net-negative.
+- **Full `&'a Type` interning**: `unify.rs` is already zero-alloc
+  (journaled rollback, borrow-only traversal); boundary copies would cost.
+- **VM scratch-args threading** (attempted, reverted): Amdahl-capped at
+  ~9% on fib(30) while adding TLS+RefCell traffic to the hottest path —
+  unprovable on a loaded box, so kept only the certain `joined` win.
+  Re-land from git history if a quiet box ever shows +5%.
+- **`--no-arena` rollback flag**: inapplicable — nothing behavioral was
+  added (fewer allocs, same values). Rollback = revert the commits.
+
+## `zz_arena` production notes
+
+- **Caps/DoS**: `Config { initial_block, max_block, max_bytes, max_blocks,
+  retain_blocks }`. Breaches return `ArenaError` (never abort); `alloc`
+  panics with the message only on cap breach, `try_alloc` for untrusted
+  paths. 10MB-input + 10k-nesting fuzz recommended before untrusted use.
+- **Determinism**: `Interner` ids follow intern order (single map, no
+  sharding) — identical sources agree, build-cache keys stable.
+- **Concurrency**: `Bump: !Send + !Sync` (Rc marker); `FrozenBump`
+  (`Arc<[u8]>` chunks) is `Send + Sync` for cross-thread handoff.
+  `SpanKey.func` is `Arc<str>` (not `Rc`) because `TypedProgram` lives in
+  a `static OnceLock` and the runtime shares the types map across spawns.
+- **Memory discipline**: `reset()` retains the largest N blocks
+  (default 2, no syscall when the next unit fits); `shrink()` on
+  daemon/LSP idle. `Drop` types placed in the arena are leaked by design
+  — only trivial/`Copy` data and arena strings belong here.
+- **Observability**: `Bump::stats()` (`bytes_used`, `capacity_bytes`,
+  `blocks_alive`, `spills_alive`, `grows`, `resets`, `waste_ratio`);
+  `ZZ_ARENA_STATS=1` logs per phase.
+- **Unsafe surface**: confined to `Bump::try_alloc_raw` (+ typed wrappers);
+  blocks are heap-stable `Box<[u8]>`, offsets always aligned up, refs tied
+  to the arena lifetime.
+
+## Open gates (toolchain-limited here)
+
+- `cargo miri test -p zz_arena` (needs nightly; stable toolchain lacks it).
+- `cargo fuzz` 1h on `Bump` + `lex` (needs nightly + harness).
+- loom test for freeze/share path (needs `loom` dev-dep).
+- CI bench gate: fail on >10% `bench-compiler.sh` regression
+  (repo CI is currently TODO per AGENTS.md).

Subject: [PATCH 060/145] feat(arena-next): pre-size lexer/parser collections
 (Q1)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Lexer tokens Vec reserved from source length (~1 tok/4B measured),
trivia pending likewise; top-level stmt list sized from token count
(nested blocks stay small via block_depth gate — sizing every block
from the whole stream would over-reserve GBs on large files).

Fewer growth reallocs by construction; no behavior change, no new
hot-path instructions. Box too noisy for ms gate (A/A varies ±20ms);
lands on mechanism + green suite.

Subject: [PATCH 061/145] feat(arena-next): multi-file bench corpus (Q0);
 mimalloc A/B rejected (Q2)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Q0: bench/compiler/proj (main + 20 modules x 200 funcs) + bench rows.
Q2 outcome: mimalloc 0.1 time wins were huge (large 54->41ms -24%,
many_funcs 43->34 -20%, proj 178->111 -38% same-box A/B) BUT peak RSS
23MB -> 34.7MB (+50%, 31.8MB even with ARENA_EAGER_COMMIT=0; mimalloc
commits ~25MB heap in 4MB segments vs glibc frugality). Gate allowed
>5% RSS regression: REVERTED, no code kept. Follow-up: rpmalloc or
tunable segment cap — needs its own A/B.

Subject: [PATCH 062/145] feat(arena-next): move loader seeds into checker (Q3)

Per-module check_program() cloned the entire accumulated seed maps
(O(seed) FuncSig+Type clones per module = O(n^2) across modules).
Seeds now MOVE in (checker stores them untouched) and come back via
key-set restore (seed_func/struct_keys, O(new pubs) total); module
privates flow only to all_* (moved). all_* seed content preserved via
one-time first-success contribution (all-error loads unchanged).
Bindings seeds stay cloned (checker drops its seed env; rare anyway).

Interleaved A/B release, proj 21 files/4000 funcs: 187ms -> 147ms
(-21%), all pairs. Single-file neutral. Loader 63 + e2e 253 green.

Subject: [PATCH 063/145] feat(arena-next): move entry-point seeds into final
 check (Q4a)

main.rs / build.rs / test_runner.rs each cloned the whole loaded func
+ struct maps once more for the merged build_program (4000 sigs on proj).
Single-use maps now move. Behavior identical (moves).

zz run proj: 395ms -> 320ms (with Q3; same-box interleave).
Loader 63 + e2e 253 + build_e2e 13 green.

Subject: [PATCH 065/145] feat(arena-scale): borrow clean string literals in
 lexer (S3)

LexContext::Str gains a clean flag (true from opening quote, cleared
by any escape; triple/continuation segments always owned). Clean
single-line segments borrow src instead of allocating; debug_assert
self-verifies value==slice wherever tests exercise strings.

309 frontend + 253 e2e green. Corpus has few literals so bench effect
is below noise (by construction: strictly fewer allocs, no new hot
instructions); real code with many strings benefits most.

Subject: [PATCH 066/145] feat(arena-scale): dep-aware module check cache (S1)

Content-addressed on-disk cache for zz check: key = H(version,
source, dep path+key pairs); only true dependents recheck. CheckResult
synthesis on hit runs the identical tail (partition/restore/enrich);
misses serialize borrowed maps (Cow, zero copy). Entry = own-only
pubs+diags (~55KB not 460KB: seeds excluded). ZZ_CHECK_CACHE=0 kills.

Warm: proj -16%, heavyproj -35% (check-heavy wins more); touch-1-leaf
== warm (only leaf+dependents recheck, proven by entry-count test).
run/build bypass (need span types). serde derives: Type/FuncSig/
StructSig/TraitBound + roundtrip tests.

Suite: fast GREEN + bin 182 + loader 70 (incl. hit/invalidation/
error-replay/precision/disable tests with isolated-XDG harness).

Subject: [PATCH 068/145] fix(aot): plug heap leaks in string concat, elvis,
 loop locals

Accumulation loops grew without bound (1.5GB observed, OOM):
- arena overflow adopted (not copied) buffers; reset/destroy/trim free chunks
- zz_binop_cat[_arena] consume owned inputs; cat_str transfers sb ownership
- chained s = s + a + b lowers to in-place appends (amortized O(1))
- zz_elvis releases inputs via box-preserving shared release
- loop bodies release declared zz_value locals per iteration
- len/write/append take borrowed args (proven read-only natives)
- escape analysis covers Assign/CompoundAssign/Destructure/Defer

Bench now checksum-matches Go/Rust with flat 7.3MB peak.

Subject: [PATCH 069/145] feat(stdlib,frontend): pure-ZZ
 map/set/dec/bytes/csv/time-date + match statement arms

- std.map/set/dec/bytes/csv as pure-ZZ modules (VM==AOT free):
  map (safe dict helpers), set (array sets), dec (exact string
  decimals), bytes (linear builders), csv (RFC4180 subset)
- std.time: dict-based calendar dates (parse/format/add/diff,
  leap-correct Hinnant math, total fns with epoch fallback)
- frontend: match arms accept statements (assign/decl/return),
  wrapped as blocks; break/continue keep expression form.
  Fixes confusing 'expected , or } after match arm' on '=> y = v'.
- TOML stays out of stdlib: external package ~/Projects/toml.
- Tests: 6 e2e fixtures + parity entries, stdlib unit asserts;
  190 stdlib + 112 frontend + 259 e2e + 6/6 parity green.

+### Calendar dates (dict-based `Date`)
+
+Dates are `{str: int}` dicts (`year`, `month`, `day`, `hour`, `min`, `sec`).
+Parse/format are UTC RFC3339 (`...Z`) only; invalid input falls back to
+the epoch so callers stay total.
+
+```zz

+println(time.diff_days(d, time.make_date(2024, 2, 28, 0, 0, 0)))  // 1

+
+## `std.map` -- Dict Helpers
+
+Pure-ZZ helpers over `{K: V}` dicts: safe lookup, projections, merge.
+
+```zz
+import std.map
+
+d := {"a": 1, "b": 2}
+println(map.get_or(d, "z", 99))  // 99, no runtime error
+println(map.keys(d))             // ["a", "b"]
+println(map.merge(d, {"c": 3}))
+```
+
+| Function | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `map.has(d, key)` | Membership test (no error on missing) |
+| `map.get_or(d, key, default)` | Value or default (`{str: int}`) |
+| `map.get_str(d, key, default)` | Value or default (`{str: str}`) |
+| `map.keys / keys_str` | Key arrays |
+| `map.values / values_str` | Value arrays |
+| `map.len / is_empty` | Size predicates |
+| `map.merge / merge_str` | Right-wins union |
+| `map.remove(d, key)` | Copy without key |
+
+`Dict` stays insertion-ordered with O(n) lookup; the API is stable so a
+future hashed implementation drops in without breaking callers.
+
+---
+
+## `std.set` -- Set Helpers
+
+Sets are `[T]` arrays with uniqueness enforced by helpers.
+
+```zz
+import std.set
+
+s := set.insert(["a"], "b")      // ["a", "b"]
+println(set.union(["a"], ["b"])) // ["a", "b"]
+println(set.intersect(["a", "b"], ["b", "c"]))  // ["b"]
+```
+
+| Function | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `set.has / has_int` | Membership |
+| `set.insert / insert_int` | Append if absent (returns same array otherwise) |
+| `set.remove / remove_int` | Copy without element |
+| `set.union / union_int` | Deduplicated concatenation |
+| `set.intersect / intersect_int` | Common elements |
+| `set.diff` | Elements of `a` not in `b` |
+| `set.len / is_empty` | Size predicates |
+
+---
+
+## `std.dec` -- Exact Decimals
+
+Decimals are `str` (`[-]digits[.digits]`). No float drift:
+`dec.add("0.1", "0.2") == "0.3"`. Scale capped at 18 places.
+
+```zz
+import std.dec
+
+println(dec.add("0.1", "0.2"))  // 0.3
+println(dec.mul("1.5", "2"))    // 3
+println(dec.format("3.14159", 2))  // 3.14
+```
+
+| Function | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `dec.is_valid(s)` | Shape check |
+| `dec.add / sub / mul(a, b)` | Exact arithmetic as strings |
+| `dec.cmp(a, b)` | `-1` / `0` / `1` |
+| `dec.eq / lt / gt(a, b)` | Boolean comparisons |
+| `dec.format(s, places)` | Round/truncate to N places |
+| `dec.scale_of / pow10 / to_scaled / from_scaled / trim_zeros` | Building blocks |
+
+---
+
+## `std.bytes` + String Builders
+
+Strings are immutable; `s = s + part` in a loop is O(n²). Builders
+collect parts and join once. Handles are plain arrays (no definitions
+needed).
+
+```zz
+import std.bytes
+
+b := str.builder()
+b = str.push_part(b, "hello ")
+b = str.push_part(b, name)
+println(str.finish(b))
+
+nums := bytes.builder()
+nums = bytes.push_byte(nums, 300)  // wraps to 44
+println(bytes.len_of(nums))
+```
+
+| Function | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `str.builder()` | Empty `[str]` handle |
+| `str.push_part(b, s)` | Append part |
+| `str.finish(b)` | Join to `str` |
+| `str.builder_len(b)` | Total chars without joining |
+| `bytes.builder()` | Empty `[int]` handle |
+| `bytes.push_byte(b, v)` | Append byte (`mod 256`, negatives wrap) |
+| `bytes.extend(b, vs)` | Append many |
+| `bytes.len_of / from_ints` | Size / normalize array |
+
+---
+
+## `std.csv` -- CSV Parsing
+
+RFC4180 subset: quoted fields, `""` escapes, embedded newlines, CRLF.
+Rows are `[[str]]` (first row = header when present). Unterminated
+trailing quotes are treated as end-of-field.
+
+```zz
+import std.csv
+
+rows := csv.parse("a,b\n1,2\n")
+println(csv.header(rows))          // ["a", "b"]
+println(csv.get_cell(rows, 1, 0, "?"))  // "1"
+println(csv.stringify(rows))       // round-trips
+println(csv.to_json(rows))         // JSON array of objects
+```
+
+| Function | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `csv.parse(src)` | Parse with `,` |
+| `csv.parse_delim(src, d)` | Parse with one-char delimiter |
+| `csv.stringify(rows)` | Serialize with `,` (quotes when needed) |
+| `csv.stringify_delim(rows, d)` | Serialize with delimiter |
+| `csv.header(rows)` | First row (`[]` when empty) |
+| `csv.records(rows)` | All rows after the first |
+| `csv.len(rows)` | Row count |
+| `csv.get_cell(rows, r, c, default)` | Bounds-checked cell |
+| `csv.validate(src)` | Non-empty parse |
+| `csv.to_json(rows)` | Header-keyed JSON array |
+
+TOML is intentionally **not** in the stdlib: use the external `toml`
+package (`~/Projects/toml`, pure-ZZ, versioned separately).

Subject: [PATCH 070/145] feat(lang): contextual type aliases with cross-module
 support

- `type Tokens = [Token]`, generic `type Pair<T> = (T, T)`;
  `type` stays a plain identifier elsewhere (json.type keeps working).
- Checker erases uses to target types (nested expansion, arity checks,
  cycle reporting, duplicate/cross-namespace collision errors).
- Full seed plumbing: loader seeds + pub export, selective/wildcard
  imports, disk check-cache (genesis v2), REPL session persistence,
  LSP state/symbols/lookup/semantic-tokens.
- Loader: fixed combined `import m as a(sym)` selective form (was
  broken for all symbol kinds); aliases skip synthetic value Decls
  like structs; type-position uses mark imports used.
- All engines see through aliases: tree-walker/VM no-ops, codegen
  no-ops, DCE drops, HIR walks capture nothing.
- Tests: parser unit tests, types/aliases + types/alias_import +
  3 error fixtures, e2e + strict VM==AOT parity entries.

+Aliases erase at check time: uses resolve to the target type, so there

+take plain parameters and name their arguments at use sites
+(`Pair<int>`), exactly like generic structs. `type` is contextual —
+`json.type(x)` and variables named `type` keep working. Aliases export
+across modules with `pub type` and import qualified
+(`shapes.Tokens`) or selective (`import shapes(Tokens)`).

Subject: [PATCH 071/145] fix(aot): link libcurl/libsqlite3 only when reachable
 natives need them

Plain programs no longer carry DT_NEEDED libsqlite3/libcurl: the
single-TU runtime archive defeated --as-needed for sqlite (whole-TU
undefined refs visible at the decision point, GC later removed the
code but NEEDED stuck). Lowering now reports needs_curl/needs_sqlite
from reachability; the link omits unneeded flags entirely.

Static builds of programs needing neither lib now succeed with no
static syslibs installed; the static-syslibs probe only checks needed
libs. Manual build scripts mirror the real link. docs/cli.md updated.

4 new tests: ffi reachability matrix + 3 readelf NEEDED assertions
(plain/fetch/sql).

Subject: [PATCH 072/145] fix(aot): register pure-ZZ
 map/set/dec/bytes/csv/str/time gaps in drift census

The pure-ZZ stdlib batch (origin/dev b4c3e68) added 154 registry keys
with no C impl by design (lowered as ZZ fns, VM==AOT free) but never
registered them in KNOWN_CODEGEN_GAPS, breaking
all_stdlib_funcs_have_c_impls on dev and this branch. Adds the
std.* + bare alias entries following existing convention.

Subject: [PATCH 073/145] fix(fmt): emit import alias before selective item
 list

The IR emitter printed import path(items) as alias but the parser
only accepts import path as alias(items), so any selective import
with a module alias failed verify on re-parse (fmt parity red on
types/alias_import.zz from the alias batch). Matches the order in
zz_frontend fmt. Adds inline round-trip regression test.

Subject: [PATCH 074/145] feat(toolchain): managed Zig backend via zz toolchain
 install

No more hard dependency on system clang: zz toolchain install
downloads the latest stable Zig (official index.json, sha256
verified), extracts to ~/.zz/toolchain/versions/<ver>/, smoke-tests
and pins it. status/use/uninstall complete the UX.

Provider probing prefers a pinned managed zig over PATH
(--cc still forces); the runtime-archive cache key includes the pin
so switching toolchains rebuilds. doctor suggests the install when
no backend exists. Pure-Rust xz (lzma-rs) + tar, tar-slip
fail-closed, atomic publish, ZZ_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT for hermetic tests.

10 new tests: 5 CLI (resolve/sha/slip/pin) + 5 codegen
(detect priority, hide hook, cache-key pin).

+//! `zz toolchain`: manage the Zig C backend.
+//!
+//! `zz build` needs a C backend: system `clang`, or `zig cc`. This command
+//! installs a pinned Zig release under `~/.zz/toolchain` so builds work on
+//! machines without (or with an ancient) system toolchain, and stay
+//! reproducible across machines:
+//!
+//! - `zz toolchain install [--version X.Y.Z]` — download the release
+//!   (latest stable by default), verify its sha256 against the official
+//!   index, extract, smoke-test, and pin it.
+//! - `zz toolchain use <version>` — switch the pin among installed versions.
+//! - `zz toolchain uninstall <version>` — remove an installed version.
+//! - `zz toolchain status` — installed versions, pin, active backend.
+//!
+//! Layout (override root with `ZZ_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT`):
+//! `versions/<semver>/` holds one extracted release; the `pin` file names
+//! the active version. A pin is explicit opt-in: once present, provider
+//! probing prefers the managed `zig` over everything on PATH (see
+//! `zz_codegen::detect_clang`), and the runtime-archive cache key includes
+//! the pin so switching toolchains rebuilds instead of reusing.
+//!
+//! Sources are official `ziglang.org` releases via `download/index.json`
+//! (never a constructed URL — asset naming changed between eras). All
+//! writes go to a staging dir first and publish atomically.

 Transient release compile → execute → cleanup (uses the same Clang

+### `zz toolchain <install|use|uninstall|status>`
+
+Manage the Zig C backend. `zz build` needs a C backend (system `clang`
+or `zig cc`); `toolchain install` downloads a pinned Zig release into
+`~/.zz/toolchain` so builds work with no system toolchain and stay
+reproducible across machines:
+
+```bash
+zz toolchain install                  # latest stable Zig, verified + pinned
+zz toolchain install --version 0.17.0 # pin an exact release instead
+zz toolchain status                   # installed versions, pin, active backend
+zz toolchain use 0.17.0               # switch the pin among installed versions
+zz toolchain uninstall 0.17.0         # remove an installed version
+```
+
+Details:
+
+- Sources are official `ziglang.org` releases via `download/index.json`
+  (URLs are never constructed — asset naming changed between eras);
+  every download is sha256-checked against the index.
+- A pin is explicit opt-in: once present, provider probing prefers the
+  managed `zig` over everything on PATH (`--cc=clang` / `--cc=zig`
+  still force their provider), and the precompiled-runtime cache key
+  includes the pin so switching toolchains rebuilds instead of reusing.
+- Set `ZZ_TOOLCHAIN_ROOT` to relocate the toolchain dir (hermetic CI).

Subject: [PATCH 075/145] feat(aot): unboxed scalar calling convention for
 monomorphic functions

Functions with all-scalar params/return (int/float/bool, no defaults,
generics, captures) gain a raw _u variant alongside the boxed entry
point; scalar-provable call sites route to it. Recursive calls,
arithmetic folds, numeric comparisons and if-conds stay unboxed end
to end; the boxed wrapper preserves first-class/indirect behavior.

Soundness invariant: classify-scalar implies emit-raw, centralized in
raw_scalar_text (a boxed fallback never double-boxes nor feeds raw
C operators). fib(28): ~45ms -> ~10ms, checksums identical.

3 new tests: specialization + native run, float/bool/comparison
differential vs VM.

Subject: [PATCH 076/145] fix(aot): scope unboxed state out of closures;
 capture locals in _u bodies

- Nested closures always return zz_value: save/clear unboxed_ret
  across closure lowering (was: return (tail).i in zz_closure_N).
- _u bodies populate capture_set like the boxed path so captured
  locals get heap cells (was: NULL env, spawned closures lost
  captures and hung on channel recv).
- __tail temp always boxes (idempotent): raw tails in any context
  stay well-typed.

Adds with_cap regression test.

Subject: [PATCH 078/145] feat(aot): elide loop safepoints without concurrency;

 task/chan/spawn now\n  omit it (it never suspends, only yields the OS thread,
 so omission\n  is always correct). sum 0..5M: 21ms -> 0ms, matching Rust.\n-
 arr := [pure scalars]; arr[lit] reads forward to the element's raw\n  C
 expression (SROA): no zz_index_get, arithmetic stays raw end to\n  end. alloc
 bench: 7ms -> 1ms. Sound via eager resolution plus\n 
 kill-on-reassign/mention/call/capture/scope-pop and a totality\n  guard for
 trapping division.\n\n4 new tests: safepoint elided/kept, forwarding shape +
 value,\nstore/push kill behavior.

Subject: [PATCH 079/145] feat(aot): inline str(int/bool) in append chains;
 elide dead array releases\n\n- New zz_str_append_int/bool runtime helpers:
 str(i)/str(b) terms in\n  s = s + ... chains format straight into the buffer.
 No cast temp,\n  no arena staging, no release. str bench 2-3ms -> 1-2ms.\n-
 Loop-local stack-promoted arrays that are only read through\n  forwarded
 indices skip zz_release (proven no-op): unpins the dead\n  construction for
 DCE. alloc bench 2ms -> 0ms, matching Rust/Zig.\n- Alias soundness: x = arr
 kills the source entry (shared-buffer\n  mutation through the alias would
 stale forwarding).\n\n3 new tests: chain shape + value (incl. float
 fallback), release\nelision, alias push agreement.

Subject: [PATCH 080/145] feat(aot): ascii fast path for str char length
 zz_str_char_len walked the full UTF-8 decode per call: len() on the 1MB bench
 string cost ~1ms where Rust does O(1) bytes. A word-at-a-time high-bit test
 returns byte length for pure-ASCII (~0.05ms) and falls back to the precise
 walk otherwise. One new test for multibyte agreement.

Subject: [PATCH 081/145] feat(lang): user-defined enums with erasure to
 objects
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- `enum Token { Eof, IntLit(int) }`: contextual `enum` keyword
  (stays a plain identifier elsewhere, mirroring `type`).
- Checker: Type::Enum + EnumSig registry, qualified construction
  (Token.IntLit(1)), unit-variant paths (Token.Eof), short-name
  patterns (.IntLit(v)), exhaustiveness, payload arity checks,
  duplicate/collision errors, impl methods dispatch like structs
  (inherent, last-wins — keeps re-checks idempotent).
- Values erase to qualified Objects (Enum.Variant, single value
  field): zero new runtime value kinds; equality, display
  (Token.IntLit(5)), and all three engines share representation.
- Cross-module: loader seeds, pub export, selective/wildcard
  imports, check-cache genesis v3, REPL persistence, LSP.
- E.V.m() chains work on unit variants (synthetic receiver);
  payload chains report bind-first.
- VM bonus fix: guarded-match pattern-miss jumped past the arm
  reload (stale slot); now targets the next LoadVar + regression
  test. Native guards on payload bindings remain a documented
  pre-existing limit (loud C error, affects Options identically).
- Tests: parser units, 7 checker units, session persistence,
  types/enums + types/enum_import + 5 error fixtures, e2e and
  strict VM==AOT parity entries, docs/syntax.md.

+Enums erase to qualified objects at runtime, so construction, matching,
+equality, and `impl` methods behave identically on both engines. Matches
+are exhaustiveness-checked (missing variants report, or add a `_` arm).
+Variants hold at most one payload — use a tuple for more
+(`Pair((int, int))`). `enum` is contextual, like `type`. Enums export
+with `pub enum` and chain unit-variant methods inline
+(`Token.Eof.is_eof()`); payload construction can't chain — bind first.
+
+Known V1 limits: no generic enums (use concrete payload types), no
+`impl` dispatch on payload construction chains (bind first), and match
+guards in native builds can't reference payload bindings yet (the VM
+accepts them; guarded matches over plain bindings work everywhere).

Subject: [PATCH 082/145] feat(lang): generic enums, payload chaining,
 match/if-let hardening

- Generic enums enum Box<T> with inference, annotation Box[int],
  method dispatch, pattern substitution, arity errors
- Payload construction chaining E.V(x).m(y) on checker, VM, AOT
- AOT enum method dispatch via checker type map, scalar unboxing
  with generic substitution
- Nested enum/tuple patterns flatten to && with fallthrough
- VM if-let stack-height fix with typed regression test
- Top-level unit-variant name fallback, head==enum guard
- Enum display only strips real module namespace
- Fixtures: enum_generics, enum_generic_mismatch; e2e+parity wired

Subject: [PATCH 083/145] fix(aot): guard tuple-pattern unpack behind tag+len
 test

Flattened match temps emit up front for every arm, before any arm
condition runs. The tuple element zz_array_get ran unconditionally,
dereferencing non-array payloads when the arm missed (describe(IntLit)
running the .Pair((a,b)) unpack -> native SIGSEGV, VM unaffected).

Wrap extraction in the same tag==ARRAY && len==n ternary so the call
only fires on match; miss temps are unit and arm conds fail cleanly.
Covers plain and green (frame-cell) paths, composes for nesting.

Subject: [PATCH 084/145] m0: fixture feature tags, edge corpus, parity sweep
 extended

- Tag all 277 fixtures with // features: headers (closed vocabulary,
  FEATURES.md taxonomy, fixture_meta parser + consistency tests).
- 13 new edge fixtures (overflow, shifts, casts, div/rem zero, OOB,
  chained store, NaN display); 5 strict, 8 known-divergence with
  harness entries and docs/m0-parity-report.md.
- parity sweep now covers regression/; modules/ triaged manually.

+# M0 parity report — differential harness + edge corpus (current pipeline)
+
+Branch: `feat/m0-parity-harness`. Date: 2026-10-05. Toolchain:
+`zz 0.1.6` (debug build → `debug_assertions` ON), `clang` dev/native legs.
+
+## What M0 delivered
+
+1. **Feature tags on all 277 fixtures** (`// features:` header, closed
+   vocabulary in `tests/fixtures/FEATURES.md`, enforced by
+   `zz_cli::fixture_meta` unit tests). Tagging is heuristic
+   (`scripts/tag_fixtures.py`) + sampled review; milestone gating only
+   needs union-level accuracy, and gate failures are loud (easy fix).
+2. **Milestone subsets are now data**: `M2_FEATURES` in `fixture_meta.rs`
+   yields **8 M2 candidates** (`console`, `const`, `declarations`,
+   `elif_chain`, `main_entrypoint`, `string_blocks`, `generic_bounds`,
+   `branch_call_tails`). Pure-M2 is 0 without string literals; the spec
+   decision recorded in FEATURES.md is that `print("marker")` needs only
+   a const-pool entry, so `string-literal` is in M2 while `string-ops` /
+   `fstrings` / `string-blocks` lower in M6.
+3. **Edge corpus**: 13 new fixtures (`regression/edge_*`,
+   `errors/edge_*`), registered in `e2e.rs` and `dual_engine_parity.rs`.
+4. **Sweep extended**: `parity_discover_all_fixtures` now covers
+   `syntax + types + stdlib + regression` (was missing `regression`).
+   `modules/` stays manual (import-layout fixtures, one broken — §4);
+   `test/` stays on the `zz test` runner.
+
+## Divergences found (all reproduced on the current pipeline)
+
+Strict-agreement probes (registered as strict parity):
+
+| Probe | VM | Native | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `edge_shift_mask` (`<<`/`>>` ≥ width) | masks `& 63` | masks `& 63` | agree |
+| `edge_cast_float_int` (INF sat, trunc) | MAX/MIN/1/-1 | same | agree at -O0 **and** -O3 |
+| `edge_cast_str_int` (overflow/invalid/ws) | none/none/-42/0 | same | agree |
+| `edge_neg_shift_err`, `edge_rem_zero_err` | exit 1 | exit 1 | messages differ (ok for error parity) |
+| slice clamp `a[1:10]` | `[2, 3]` | `[2, 3]` | agree (probed, no fixture needed) |
+
+New known divergences (registered in `known_native_failure` + fixtures):
+
+| Probe | VM (debug) | Native | Class |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `edge_int_overflow_add/mul` | trap, exit 1 | wraps, exit 0 | overflow semantics |
+| `edge_int_neg_min` | trap, exit 1 | wraps MIN, exit 0 | overflow semantics |
+| `edge_int_min_div_neg1` | trap, exit 1 | prints **0**, exit 0 | C signed-overflow UB |
+| `edge_int_pow_neg` (`2 ** -1`) | error, exit 1 | prints **0**, exit 0 | missing native error path |
+| `edge_index_oob` (`a[10]`) | error, exit 1 | prints empty, exit 0 | missing bounds check |
+| `edge_chained_store` (`m[0][0] = 99`) | reads back `1` | reads back `99` | value-model (write dropped vs write-through) |
+| `edge_float_nan_display` | `NaN` | `nan` | float formatting |
+| `int(NaN)` under **-O3** | `0` | `MIN` (-O0 native: `0`) | `-ffast-math`/UB folds the NaN guard — release-only divergence, no fixture (covered by nan-display entry) |
+
+Pre-existing divergences re-confirmed as still present (no change):
+`struct_impl`, `struct_embedding`, `local_wildcard`,
+`scalar_global_copy`, `move_append_struct_copy`, `concurrency_panic_test`,
+`encoding_test`, `math_extended_test`, `decorators`,
+`extension_methods`, selective/wildcard/alias imports,
+`main_result_err`, `pg_connect_refused`, P3 HTTP `vm-only` set.
+
+## Profile caveat (M1 must resolve)
+
+The VM itself disagrees with itself: debug builds trap on overflow,
+release builds wrap (`cfg(debug_assertions)` in `runtime/ops.rs` and
+`vm/runtime.rs`). The parity harness runs the debug VM, so every
+overflow probe above is simultaneously a VM-debug-vs-VM-release
+divergence. The M1 spec must pick ONE semantics for all profiles;
+until then the overflow fixtures pin the debug behavior as errors.
+
+## Manual sweeps (not in automation yet)
+
+- `modules/`: 10/11 match byte-for-byte VM vs native (exit 0 + stdout).
+  `import_alias.zz` fails on **both** (missing `math/utils.zz` — broken
+  fixture or needs project context; triage in M6 modules milestone).
+- `test/`: `zz test` runner, out of scope for run-parity (has
+  `e2e_test_success!` coverage).
+
+## Gate status
+
+- `fixture_meta` unit tests (incl. full-tree tag walk): pass.
+- `cargo fmt --check`, `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`: clean.
+- `cargo test -p zz_cli --test e2e`: 286 passed (incl. 13 new edge tests).
+- `cargo test -p zz_cli --test dual_engine_parity` (full, both legs):
+  **154 passed, 0 failed** — incl. the extended `regression/` sweep and
+  all 13 new edge fixtures (5 strict agree, 8 diverge as documented).
+- **Stop for review here** (per plan): M1 spec draft next — value model
+  first (copy/move, chained stores, aliasing), then per-op semantics
+  using this report as the decision list.

+# Fixture feature tags (M0)
+
+Every `.zz` fixture under `tests/fixtures/` carries a machine-readable
+header on its first line(s):
+
+```zz
+// features: int-arith, func-call, print
+```
+
+A fixture may span the header over several `// features:` lines inside the
+leading comment block; the parser unions them. Tags come from the closed
+vocabulary below — enforced by `zz_cli::fixture_meta` unit tests, so a
+typo fails `cargo test -p zz_cli --lib`.
+
+Purpose (per M0 change 1): each IR milestone gates on a **defined fixture
+subset** computed from these tags, not on an abstract "language subset"
+prose. `fixture_meta::M2_FEATURES` (and later `M4_`, `M5_`, `M6_*`) are the
+executable form of the milestone scopes.
+
+## Vocabulary
+
+Values and operators:
+`int-arith`, `float-arith`, `bool-logic`, `bitwise`, `comparison`, `casts`
+
+Bindings:
+`locals`, `const`, `destructuring`
+
+Control flow and functions:
+`if-else`, `while-loop`, `for-loop`, `break-continue`, `func-call`,
+`recursion`, `closures`, `hof`, `match`, `if-let`, `try-question`, `defer`,
+`short-circuit`, `elvis`, `pipe`, `return`, `assert`, `decorators`
+
+Data:
+`string-literal` (any `"..."` literal — M2 includes these as const-pool
+entries for `print`), `string-ops` (concat / interpolation machinery),
+`fstrings`, `string-blocks`, `arrays`, `vec-push`, `dicts`,
+`tuples`, `ranges`, `indexing`, `slicing`, `bytes`
+
+Types:
+`structs`, `struct-methods`, `methods`, `generics`, `aliases`, `enums`,
+`option-result`, `type-inference`
+
+Modules:
+`imports`, `selective-import`, `wildcard-import`, `import-alias`,
+`pub-visibility`
+
+Standard library (one per `std.*` module; `import std.math` implies both
+`imports` and `std-math`):
+`std-args`, `std-bytes`, `std-chan`, `std-colors`, `std-crypto`, `std-csv`,
+`std-db`, `std-dec`, `std-encoding`, `std-env`, `std-fs`, `std-http`,
+`std-json`, `std-log`, `std-map`, `std-math`, `std-net`, `std-path`,
+`std-process`, `std-regexp`, `std-sqlz`, `std-str`, `std-sys`, `std-task`,
+`std-term`, `std-time`, `std-uuid`, `std-vec`
+
+Runner and verdict:
+`print`, `stdin`, `cli-args`, `embed`, `vfs`, `zz-test`,
+`error-case`, `nondeterministic`, `vm-only`, `known-divergence`
+
+Tagging rules:
+
+- `error-case` on every fixture under `errors/` (they must fail on the VM).
+- `zz-test` on every fixture under `test/` (run via `zz test`, not `zz run`).
+- `nondeterministic` when output varies run to run (timestamps, ports);
+  the parity harness skips these via `native_skip_reason`.
+- `known-divergence` when VM and native verifiably disagree (tracked in
+  `known_native_failure` in `dual_engine_parity.rs` and the M0 report).
+- `vm-only` when the fixture exercises natives with no AOT lowering
+  (same tracking as `known-divergence`, kept separate so M5 can claim
+  them by implementing the lowering instead of fixing a bug).
+- Prefer content tags over intent: tag what the file *uses* (`vec-push`
+  when it calls `vec.push`, `closures` when a `|x|` literal appears),
+  not what it is "about". Milestone gating depends on it.
+
+## Milestone subsets
+
+- **M2** (front-end lowering: ints, floats, bools, locals, if/while,
+  calls, print): exactly
+  `M2_FEATURES = [int-arith, float-arith, bool-logic, comparison,
+  locals, const, if-else, while-loop, func-call, print, string-literal]`.
+  `string-literal` is in because marker printing needs only const-pool
+  entries; `string-ops`/`fstrings`/`string-blocks` lower in M6.
+  A fixture is an M2 candidate when all its tags are in this set.
+- **M4 / M5** (VM / AOT consume IR): same set as M2; parity is
+  VM-vs-old-VM (M4) then VM-vs-AOT (M5) on the M2 candidate fixtures.
+- **M6** expands feature by feature; each step names its tags, e.g.
+  `structs` + `struct-methods`, then `string-literal` + `string-ops` +
+  `fstrings` + `std-str`,
+  then `arrays` + `vec-push` + `indexing` + `slicing`, then `closures` +
+  `hof`, then `dicts` + `tuples` + `ranges` + `for-loop`, then `match` +
+  `option-result` + `try-question`, then `imports` + std modules one by
+  one (M3 migrates the registries module by module alongside).
+- **M7** removes the old paths once every non-`nondeterministic` fixture
+  passes parity.
+
+## Edge corpus (M0)
+
+`regression/edge_*` probes pin semantics the IR spec (M1) must decide.
+Probes where both engines agree today are strict parity; probes exposing
+a divergence carry `known-divergence` (or land in `errors/` with a
+`known_native_failure` entry when the VM fails and native exits 0):
+
+- `edge_shift_mask`: `<<` / `>>` with counts >= width (both mask `& 63`).
+- `edge_cast_float_int`: float->int truncation and INF saturation.
+- `edge_cast_str_int`: str->int overflow/invalid/whitespace (`none`).
+- `edge_neg_shift_err`, `edge_rem_zero_err` (`errors/`): both engines
+  fail (messages differ; error parity only requires failure).
+- `edge_int_overflow_add`, `edge_int_overflow_mul`, `edge_int_neg_min`,
+  `edge_int_min_div_neg1`, `edge_int_pow_neg` (`errors/` +
+  known-failure): VM traps (debug) / native wraps or miscomputes.
+- `edge_index_oob` (`errors/` + known-failure): VM errors exit 1,
+  native prints empty and exits 0.
+- `edge_chained_store`, `edge_float_nan_display` (`regression/` +
+  known-failure): both exit 0 with different stdout.

Subject: [PATCH 085/145] fix(vm): write-through chained index stores

Bytecode compiler compile_write_back and tree-walker write_back both
dropped nested Index targets (Pop / Ok(())), so m[0][0] = v mutated a
temp clone and the write never reached the root binding (VM read back
the old value; AOT already wrote through).

Both paths now store the mutated container back into its home and
recurse to the root, mirroring the Field arm (receivers with side
effects evaluate twice on both engines).

Side effect (correct per write-through semantics): field-of-index
stores (s[0].v = x) now write through on the VM too; native still
drops them (native-side follow-up, same class).

Regression test: vm_chained_index_store_writes_through (plain,
compound, triple-nested, dict-nested, single-level).

Subject: [PATCH 086/145] pre-m1: quad matrix, normalizer gates, modules
 parity, benches, IR spec draft

Quad matrix (dual_engine_parity.rs): every regression/ fixture plus
errors/edge_* runs through VM-debug x VM-release x native-O0 x
native-O3. Release driver auto-builds once (lock-serialized,
ZZ_VM_RELEASE_BIN override); VM_ONLY/SKIP_NATIVE degrade to VM legs.
Documented splits assert the M1 decision list; unexpected agreement
panics FIXED.

Findings pinned: pow-neg traps on both VM legs; int(NaN) under -O3 is
TU-unstable clang-UB (quad pins exits, dual skips as nondeterministic);
scalar_global_copy natives fail at C compile time.

Normalizers: negative/positive audit tests, parity-signal gate
(PARITY BLIND instead of vacuous pass), harness/tag consistency test
via zz_cli::fixture_meta. 8 modules/ fixtures gained _ok markers.

Modules in parity sweep (import_alias skips with reason); chained
store flipped to strict after the VM write-through fix.

New edge fixtures: edge_cast_float_nan, edge_slice_clamp.
Bench gate set: bench/ir_gate + bench/ir_baseline.md.
Docs: docs/ir-spec-draft.md (M1 starting point), pre-m1 report.

+# IR gate benchmarks (pre-M1 baselines for the M5 5% rule)
+
+Gate: AOT-from-IR must be within 5% of current-AOT wall time on this set.
+Measure with `zz build -p` (release flags — the M5 comparison mode),
+best-of-5 runs, binaries outside the repo (`/tmp`).
+
+Set (`bench/ir_gate/*.zz` — committed so M5 reruns the same sources):
+
+| bench | what it stresses | expected out |
+|---|---|---|
+| `fib35.zz` | recursion + call frames | 9227465 |
+| `tak.zz` | nested calls, branches | 9 |
+| `sieve.zz` | arrays, indexing, while loops | 17984 |
+| `arraysum.zz` | vec build + iteration | 47999055 |
+| `strconcat.zz` | string allocation/concat | 100000 |
+
+Baselines (2026-10-05, Intel i3-4005U 1.70GHz x86_64, Linux, clang
+release `-O3 -flto=thin`, current HIR-direct AOT):
+
+| bench | best-of-5 |
+|---|---|
+| fib35 | 64ms |
+| tak | 10ms |
+| sieve | 31ms |
+| arraysum | 37ms |
+| strconcat | 4ms |
+
+Caveats:
+
+- Re-run baselines on the M5 machine before judging: these numbers are
+  machine- and clang-version-specific.
+- `strconcat` is small and noisy; it is an allocation smoke test, not a
+  decision-maker. `tak` is small but call-shaped; keep both, weight
+  fib/sieve/arraysum.
+- Simple accumulation loops (`sum 0..N`) are NOT in the set on purpose:
+  LLVM folds them to closed form, so they measure idiom recognition
+  instead of ZZ codegen (verified: 10M vs 100M both ~3ms).
+- Always diff against a same-machine, same-day current-AOT rebuild —
+  never against this table across machines.

+# ZZ bytecode IR spec — DRAFT for review (M1)
+
+Status: draft. Normative keywords: MUST / MUST NOT / SHOULD per RFC 2119.
+This spec is the single source of truth for program behavior. Where it
+conflicts with current engine behavior, the engines change (migration
+table in §11), not the spec.
+
+Decisions already locked (pre-M1 review): wrap for `+ - *`; trap for
+`MIN/-1`, `MIN%-1`, negative `**` exponent, and OOB; write-through
+chained stores; canonical NaN/inf formatting; canonical error struct;
+bool-only jumps (checker guarantees); Unicode/float-format ops owned by
+the Rust core.
+
+## 1. Value model (decided first — everything else hangs off this)
+
+1.1. ZZ is a **value language**. Assignment, argument passing, and
+return **copy**. After `y = x`, mutating through `y` MUST NOT be
+observable through `x` — for scalars, strings, arrays, dicts, tuples,
+structs, options, and results. The VM already behaves this way
+(`move_append_struct_copy` prints the unaliased result); the AOT
+backend's header-only struct clone is a bug under this rule.
+
+1.2. Sharing behind the scenes is allowed **iff unobservable**: COW,
+move elision, arena allocation, and refcount sharing MUST preserve 1.1.
+Concretely: a write through one binding MUST NOT leak into another
+binding's storage. The existing `heal-on-escape` (arena → heap copy on
+retaining stores) is the reference mechanism, generalized: any value
+that outlives its allocating scope MUST be independently owned.
+
+1.3. Indexing yields a **copy**. `m[0]` evaluates to an owned value;
+mutating it mutates nothing until stored back.
+
+1.4. Stores write through to the root binding. `m[0][0] = v` updates
+`m` (the VM temp-clone drop is fixed; the AOT behavior is correct).
+`Field`-under-`Index` (`s[0].v = x`) also writes through — the native
+backend still drops these (tracked native bug, same class).
+
+1.5. Strings and bytes are immutable values. No operation mutates a
+string in place; concatenation builds a new value.
+
+1.6. Closures: evaluating a closure literal creates fresh cells
+initialized from the current bindings. Copies of a closure value share
+those cells (matches the `Rc<RefCell>` VM implementation). Escape into
+threads snapshots values (deep copy), never cells. *Provisional — the
+M1 implementation MUST confirm with differential probes; if the
+tree-walker disagrees anywhere, the spec bends to the VM-after-fix,
+never the reverse.*
+
+1.7. Explicitly shared handles (channels, task joins, DB connections,
+opaque native handles) are the ONLY aliasing exceptions. Their sharing
+semantics live with their owning module spec, not here.
+
+## 2. Types and ops
+
+2.1. Scalar kinds: `I64`, `F64`, `BOOL`, `UNIT`. Composite values
+(str, array, dict, tuple, struct, option, result, func, opaque) travel
+through generic ops that dispatch to `zzrt`.
+
+2.2. Core ops are **typed**: `ADD_I64`, `SUB_I64`, `MUL_I64`,
+`DIV_I64`, `REM_I64`, `NEG_I64`, `SHL_I64`, `SHR_I64` (arithmetic
+shift), `AND_I64`/`OR_I64`/`XOR_I64`/`NOT_I64`, `ADD_F64`, …,
+`CMP_I64` (lt/eq…), `CMP_F64`, `JMP_TRUE`/`JMP_FALSE` (bool only),
+`CONV_F64_I64`, `CONV_I64_F64`, `CONV_STR_I64`, … The verifier knows
+each op's stack type signature (§8).
+
+2.3. No `TRUTHY` op exists. Conditional jumps take `BOOL` only. The
+checker guarantees bool conditions; the verifier rejects a
+statically-non-bool condition; a dynamically-non-bool condition traps
+`Type` (defensive — unreachable on checker-sound programs).
+
+## 3. Integer semantics (MUST)
+
+- `ADD_I64`/`SUB_I64`/`MUL_I64`/`NEG_I64`: two's-complement **wrap**.
+  (`MIN` negation yields `MIN`.) This retires the debug-build traps.
+- `DIV_I64`: trap `DivZero` on divisor 0; trap `Overflow` on
+  `MIN / -1`. Otherwise truncating division.
+- `REM_I64`: trap `DivZero` on 0; trap `Overflow` on `MIN % -1`.
+- `SHL_I64`: count `& 63`; negative count traps `Bounds`. Logical
+  (modulo-2⁶⁴) shift. `SHR_I64`: arithmetic (sign-extending) shift,
+  same count rule.
+- `AND/OR/XOR/NOT_I64`: total, bitwise.
+- `POW_I64`: repeated multiplication (wrapping); negative exponent
+  traps `Domain`. (`0 ** 0` is 1.)
+
+## 4. Float semantics (MUST)
+
+- IEEE-754 binary64. NO fast-math in parity builds: NaN quiet,
+  `1.0/0.0 = inf`, `0.0/0.0 = NaN`, signed-zero arithmetic per IEEE.
+- `REM_F64` is `fmod`. `POW_F64` is `pow` (with the integer fast path
+  only when it agrees bit-for-bit — else call `pow`).
+- Mixed `I64`/`F64` arithmetic promotes to `F64` (exactness loss
+  accepted). Mixed comparisons in checked programs are rejected by
+  the checker; the IR still defines promotion for completeness.
+- Formatting is canonical: `inf`, `-inf`, `NaN` (Rust `Display`
+  spelling; the C runtime special-cases NaN output to match).
+  Float→string conversion is owned by the Rust core (`zzrt`) so both
+  engines print identical shortest-round-trip decimals — C MUST NOT
+  use `printf %g` for user-visible floats.
+
+## 5. Conversions (MUST)
+
+- `CONV_F64_I64` (int(f)): truncate toward zero; saturate
+  (`NaN → 0`, `+∞ → MAX`, `-∞ → MIN`). Both engines already agree —
+  pinned by `edge_cast_float_int`.
+- `CONV_I64_F64`: nearest representable (hardware cast).
+- `CONV_STR_I64` (int(s)): trim ASCII whitespace, optional sign,
+  full-consume decimal digits; overflow or malformed yields `none`.
+  (Agreed today — pinned by `edge_cast_str_int`.)
+- `CONV_*_BOOL`: int/float nonzero, nonempty string/array/dict.
+- `CONV_*_STR` for display goes through `zzrt` formatting (§4).
+
+## 6. Composite semantics (MUST)
+
+- Index OOB (array/tuple/str-by-char) traps `Bounds`. The AOT's silent
+  unit is a bug. Negative indices normalize (`len + i`); still-OOB
+  traps. String indexing is by Unicode scalar, not byte.
+- Slice ends clamp to `[0, len]` (pinned by `edge_slice_clamp`); start
+  past end yields empty. Slicing a string slices by chars.
+- Dict missing-key read traps `Bounds`; dict index-store inserts.
+- String `+` concatenates; `len(str)` counts chars; `lower`/`upper`/
+  `trim` are Unicode-aware and owned by the Rust core (no C
+  reimplementation — same rule as float formatting).
+- Struct field read of an unknown field is a checker error; field
+  write on a missing value traps `Type`.
+
+## 7. Evaluation order and control flow (MUST)
+
+- Operands evaluate left-to-right. Call: callee, then args
+  left-to-right. `&&`/`||` short-circuit; Elvis/`??`/`?` evaluate the
+  RHS at most once, exactly once iff needed. *The M1 implementation
+  MUST prove this against both engines with probes — no divergence is
+  known, but none was ever tested either.*
+- Code is basic blocks with explicit `JMP`/`JMP_TRUE`/`JMP_FALSE`.
+  Every block records its entry stack depth; every join MUST agree
+  (verifier-enforced). Loops are blocks + back-edges with a `SAFEPOINT`
+  at the header (cooperative yield point, stack-neutral).
+- Calls push a frame; `RET` returns the top of stack. `defer` runs LIFO
+  at scope exit (existing semantics preserved verbatim).
+
+## 8. The `.zzc` format (M1 implementation target)
+
+- Little-endian. Magic `ZZC1`, `u32` version (this spec = 1),
+  section table: `TYPES`, `CONSTS` (value pool), `FUNCS` (name,
+  arity, signature, entry block), `CODE` (blocks + typed ops),
+  `SPANS` (op → source span), `ANNOT` (performance hints, §9).
+- Constants pool holds all literals (including string-literal
+  markers for `print` — the M2 subset needs no string machinery
+  beyond this).
+- The format MUST make stack→register lowering possible later:
+  single-assignment-friendly op stream, explicit block params instead
+  of cross-block stack juggling, no implicit stack effects.
+- `zz dis` disassembles `.zzc` to stable text (golden-testable).
+- Serializer + deserializer round-trip bit-identically; the
+  deserializer is fuzzed (malformed inputs MUST be rejected, never
+  crash).
+
+## 9. Annotations: HIR analyses ride along, never decide
+
+Escape classes (`Escapes` / `ArgLocal` / `ReturnFresh`), move-elision
+homes, arena pre-size hints, and unboxed-scalar facts travel in `ANNOT`
+so the M5 5% gate stays reachable without re-inference in backends.
+RULE: dropping every annotation MUST NOT change program behavior —
+annotations are performance-only. The verifier ignores them; a
+`--strip-annotations` mode in tooling proves it by differential test.
+
+## 10. Errors (MUST)
+
+Canonical trap record: `{ kind, message, span, exit_code }`.
+`kind` is a closed enum: `Overflow`, `DivZero`, `Domain`, `Bounds`,
+`Type`, `Arity`, `Undefined`, `OOM`, `Native`, `Panic`, `Assert`.
+`exit_code` is 1 for every trap (0 success; 2 CLI usage — unchanged).
+`message` text is NOT gated for parity (kind + exit are); message
+convergence is a SHOULD. Traps print `error: {message}` + span to
+stderr (VM shape today; AOT adopts it, replacing bare
+`zz error: ...` lines).
+
+## 11. Migration: spec-vs-today deltas
+
+| Behavior | Today | Spec | Fixture flip |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `+ - *` overflow | VM-debug traps / VM-release + native wrap | wrap | `edge_int_overflow_*`, `edge_int_neg_min` become strict (non-error) |
+| `MIN/-1`, `MIN%-1` | VM-debug traps / others wrap-or-UB | trap `Overflow` | stay error fixtures; native gains checks |
+| neg `**` exp | VM errors / native 0 | trap `Domain` | stays error; native gains check |
+| OOB index | VM traps / native unit+exit 0 | trap `Bounds` | stays error; native gains check |
+| chained stores | VM dropped (fixed) / native through | through | `edge_chained_store` strict (done) |
+| field-of-index store | both drop | through | new native bug filed; probe added in M6 |
+| NaN display | `NaN` vs `nan` | `NaN` (+owned formatting) | `edge_float_nan_display` strict after C fix |
+| int(NaN) under -O3 | 0 or MIN (UB) | saturate → 0 | `edge_cast_float_nan` strict after `-ffast-math` removal |
+| conditions | truthy soup | bool-only | checker already guarantees; verifier enforces |
+
+## 12. Open questions for M1 implementation (not blockers for this draft)
+
+Closure-value copy cell sharing (§1.6); negative-index parity proof;
+call/operand order proof (§7); OOM diagnostics parity in C; message-text
+convergence scope; `try`-conversion table encoding in IR.

+# Pre-M1 matrix report — quad legs, normalizers, VM fix, modules, benches
+
+Branch: `feat/pre-m1-matrix` (M0 merged to `dev` as `77ebe71`; this
+branch = dev + `fix/vm-chained-index-store` + the work below).
+Separate PR branch: `fix/vm-chained-index-store` (`d16b1bb`).
+
+## 1. Quad matrix (item 1)
+
+`quad_regression_and_edge_matrix` in `dual_engine_parity.rs` runs every
+`regression/` fixture + every `errors/edge_*` probe through four legs:
+VM-debug (test binary), VM-release (`target/release/zz`, auto-built
+once via a lock-serialized `cargo build --release -p zz_cli`,
+overridable with `ZZ_VM_RELEASE_BIN`), native-O0 (`ZZ_NATIVE_DEV=1`),
+native-O3 (default flags). `ZZ_PARITY_VM_ONLY=1` / `ZZ_SKIP_NATIVE=1`
+degrade to VM legs. Default expectation is all-agree / all-fail;
+`assert_quad_split` documents the decided splits (each arm names the M1
+decision and panics FIXED on unexpected agreement).
+
+New fixtures: `edge_cast_float_nan` (int(NaN)), `edge_slice_clamp`
+(`a[1:10]` → `[2, 3]`, strict everywhere).
+
+Quad findings beyond M0:
+
+- `2 ** -1`: **both** VM legs trap (explicit check, not profile-gated).
+  Only natives diverge. M1 decision (trap) is therefore already
+  profile-independent on the VM side.
+- `int(NaN)` under -O3 is **TU-unstable**: the same probe printed MIN
+  in one TU and 0 in another (`-ffast-math` folds `f != f`, leaving
+  `(int64_t)f` UB). Quad pins exits only; dual scope skips the fixture
+  as nondeterministic (with reason); e2e keeps the VM leg.
+- `scalar_global_copy` natives fail at **C compile time** (exit 1), not
+  just output-diff — the split arm mirrors the known-failure macro
+  semantics (diverged = exit≠0 OR stdout differs).
+
+## 2. Normalizers, negatives, benches (item 2)
+
+- Audit tests: `norm_keeps_value_differences` (m00=1/99, NaN/nan,
+  exit codes, stderr), `norm_still_normalizes` (scratch paths, ports,
+  numeric lines), `signal_gate_catches_numeric_only`,
+  `known_lists_match_fixture_tags` (harness lists ↔ fixture tags,
+  uses `zz_cli::fixture_meta`).
+- Parity-signal gate: `assert_parity_strict` and the sweep reject
+  numeric-only stdout (`PARITY BLIND`) instead of passing vacuously.
+  This immediately caught 8 `modules/` fixtures printing bare numbers;
+  they now carry trailing `_ok` markers (inside `main()`).
+- Bench baselines for the M5 5% rule: `bench/ir_gate/` (fib35, tak,
+  sieve, arraysum, strconcat) + `bench/ir_baseline.md` with method,
+  table (64/10/31/37/4ms on i3-4005U), and caveats (foldable loops
+  excluded on purpose; re-baseline per machine).
+
+## 3. Chained stores = VM bug (item 3)
+
+`compile_write_back` (bytecode compiler) and `write_back`
+(tree-walker) dropped nested `Index` targets, so `m[0][0] = v` mutated
+a temp clone. Both now store back and recurse to the root (same
+double-evaluation contract as the `Field` arm). Native write-through
+confirmed correct. `edge_chained_store` is strict.
+Bonus find: field-of-index stores (`s[0].v = x`) now write through on

+write-through stores; canonical `inf`/`-inf`/`NaN` with Rust-core-owned
+float formatting; canonical `{kind, message, span, exit 1}` traps;
+bool-only jumps; value-model-first ordering; HIR analyses as
+droppable annotations.

+different variables.
+
+1.7. Representation is unspecified but observably equivalent to cells:

+captured, reassigned variables of non-escaping closures MAY live in a
+stack slot accessed by reference; captured, reassigned variables of

Subject: [PATCH 088/145] fix(aot): parity-safe C flags, explicit NaN guard for
 int() casts

Remove -ffast-math (folds NaN guards, reassociates floats) and
-march=native (host-specific codegen) from clang_flags and the
precompiled-runtime flags; add -fwrapv + -fno-strict-aliasing in all
modes (wrap semantics + zz_value type-punning require them). Bump
RT_CACHE_VERSION rt2->rt3 (binary cache busts via runtime mtime).

core.c zz_int_cast: f != f replaced with explicit isnan() so the NaN->0
saturation cannot fold regardless of FP flags.

int(NaN) now prints 0 on all four legs: edge_cast_float_nan flips to
strict (quad + dual), docs/cli.md flag docs updated.

Bench: no attributable change (same-box medians overlap; see
bench/ir_baseline.md update in follow-up).

Subject: [PATCH 089/145] fix(aot): copy-on-write struct headers (value
 semantics for field writes)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Struct clones share field buffers without bumping them, so a field
write through one binding corrupted co-owners (move_append_struct_copy
printed s_len=2 natively vs 1 on the VM — silent data corruption).

Fix: zz_object_detach() transfers a writer's interest into a private
header (fresh per-field shares, exact refcounts) whenever obj refs>1,
applied at every level of zz_object_set_depth (embedded promotion
included). zz_object_push_field_take's in-place gate now also requires
a uniquely-owned header, and its fallback detaches before adopting the
new array (previously wrote straight into the shared header).

ASan+UBSan clean: no UAF/UB; exit-time leaks strictly reduced vs
baseline (224B vs 272B; the four remaining 56B leaks are pre-existing
immortals, identical with and without the fix).

move_append_struct_copy flips to strict (quad + dual).

Subject: [PATCH 090/145] fix(vm): always-wrap integer arithmetic (+ - * neg
 pow loop counters)

Per the IR spec: wrapping in every profile. Removes the
cfg(debug_assertions) trap split in eval_int_binary/eval_unary and the
IntAdd/Sub/Mul/Neg VM arms, makes the Slot fused fast paths (raw +,
debug-panicking) explicit wrapping_add, wraps for-loop counters, and
wraps pow overflow (negative exponents still trap).

Overflow fixtures move errors/->regression/ as labeled strict probes;
unit test integer_overflow_errors becomes integer_arithmetic_wraps.

Subject: [PATCH 091/145] fix(aot+vm): trap MIN/-1 and MIN%-1 on all legs

Per the IR spec: explicit overflow traps for division and remainder
in every profile and on both engines (-fwrapv does not save division;
x86 idiv raises #DE regardless).

VM (ops.rs + vm/runtime.rs): replace the release-wrap/debug-trap
cfg split with explicit MIN/-1 checks, wrapping otherwise. C
zz_binop DIV/REM arms gain the same checks. Scalar int Div/Rem no
longer emit raw C / and % (UB/SIGFPE cases); they box operands and
route through zz_binop (this also fixes a latent miscompile where the
old literal-zero-only fallback passed raw operands to zz_binop).

Harness: min_div flips to strict-error; new min_rem_neg1 probe;
stale-release-driver rebuilds via source-stamp gating in the quad.

Subject: [PATCH 092/145] fix(aot): trap negative integer exponents natively

VM errors on 2 ** -1 in every profile; native printed 0 via the C
dpow loop. ZZOP_POW int arm now traps like the other integer domain
errors. edge_int_pow_neg flips to strict error (quad AllFail). Float
pow with negative exponents is unaffected (reciprocals are fine).

Subject: [PATCH 093/145] fix(aot): trap out-of-bounds index reads natively

The AOT index-read path materialized an err temp for zz_index_get
and never read it, so OOB reads (and missing dict keys, bad
receivers) silently yielded unit with exit 0 while the VM traps.
The read is now hoisted into a temp with an explicit err check
(traps like the other integer domain errors). The SROA arr[literal]
fast path only fires for statically in-bounds indices, so all
dynamic reads flow through the check. Missing-key dict reads now
trap too, matching the VM (no fixture relied on silent unit).

edge_index_oob flips to strict error (quad AllFail).

Subject: [PATCH 095/145] fix(aot): value semantics for all index/field stores

Cloned containers aliased their buffers on native (a2 := a; a2[0] = 9
mutated a; same for dicts), call-temp stores leaked into globals, and
plain Field-target stores (s[0].v = x) were dropped outright.

Runtime: zz_index_set takes the slot by pointer and detaches shared /
sentinel buffers first (arrays dup, dicts via new zz_dict_dup_value,
arenas heal; refs==1 writes in place). Field writes already detached
via the struct-aliasing fix.

Lowering (stmt.rs): direct homes (Ident / non-struct Paths) store
through their address; computed bases go through an owned temp +
write-back triple mirroring the VM (Ident/Path homes, nested
Index/Field recursion, struct-path peeling, temp-drop otherwise).
Compound index reads/writes check err (OOB traps); compound Field
delegates to the now-working plain arm instead of dropping.

ASan+UBSan clean on the whole family (no UAF/UB; a 2000-iteration
shared-store loop is leak-free). 5 new strict edge fixtures.

Subject: [PATCH 096/145] fix(aot): propagate main() Result to the exit code

Native binaries discarded main()'s return value, so main() -> .err
exited 0 while the VM prints the payload and exits 1. The generated
zz_call_into_main now returns zz_main_result_code(_r) (new runtime
helper: .err payload prints in Display form to stderr, exit 1;
anything else 0), and zz_call_main returns it instead of a constant
0. main_result_err flips to strict error.

Subject: [PATCH 097/145] fix(aot): fail pg.connect loudly instead of
 null-handle leniency

VM throws on refused/unreachable servers; native returned a NULL db
handle and exited 0. All three NULL paths in zz_pg_connect (bad
input, unlinked staticlib, refused id) and the two in zz_db_open's
postgres-URL route now trap with a message (conninfo never printed).
sqlite open leniency is untouched. pg_connect_refused flips to
strict error.

Subject: [PATCH 098/145] fix(aot): recognize bare scalar globals as
 already-unboxed

Top-level scalar copies (v2 := v1) and wildcard-imported scalar uses
emitted a second .i/.f/.b extraction on the raw zz_global_* name and
failed C compilation. The top-level Decl emitter now also treats bare
global names with scalar tracked types as raw. scalar_global_copy and
local_wildcard flip to strict; fuzz CLASS 2 marked FIXED. Also drops
the stale move_append arm remnants from the quad split list.

Subject: [PATCH 103/145] cleanup close-out: negative-index probe,
 remaining-divergences report, spec freeze

edge_negative_index pins normalized negative indices (arrays and
strings) as strict parity. docs/cleanup-report.md records what the
batch fixed, what remains and its disposition. ir-spec-draft frozen
except canonical float formatting (pending decision).

+#22 now; #16/#18/#19/#20 deferred to HIR→IR; #11/#12/#21 runtime track.
+Full dual-engine parity green (177 + negative-index probe).
+
+## Fixed this batch (strict on all legs unless noted)
+
+- Flags (#24–26) + NaN guard (#7): `-ffast-math`/`-march=native` gone,
+  `-fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing` everywhere, `RT_CACHE_VERSION` rt3,
+  explicit `isnan` in `zz_int_cast`. `edge_cast_float_nan` strict.
+  Bench: perf-neutral within noise (`bench/ir_baseline.md`).
+- #1 wrap `+ - *` (incl. neg, pow-overflow, loop counters, slot fused
+  paths): `edge_int_overflow_add/mul`, `edge_int_neg_min` moved
+  errors/→regression as labeled strict probes.
+- #2+#3 `MIN/-1`, `MIN%-1` trap everywhere (VM explicit checks, C
+  `zz_binop` checks, scalar Div/Rem routed off raw C `/`/`%` — the old
+  literal-zero fallback also fixed a latent raw-operand miscompile).
+  New `edge_int_min_rem_neg1` probe. Also hardened: stale-release-driver
+  rebuilds via source-stamp gating (the quad caught a stale driver).
+- #4 pow-neg traps natively; #5 OOB reads trap (hoisted err check;
+  missing dict keys trap too, matching the VM); #8+family: detach-on-write
+  `zz_index_set`, struct header COW, temp+write-back triples for computed
+  bases, plain/compound Field arms, SROA root invalidation. 5 new strict
+  fixtures + struct-path peel. ASan+UBSan clean; 2000-iteration shared-store
+  loop leak-free.
+- #9 main `.err` propagates (new `zz_main_result_code`); #10 pg.connect
+  traps (sqlite leniency untouched); #15+#17 bare scalar globals recognized
+  as unboxed (fuzz CLASS 2 FIXED); #22 struct header COW (ASan clean,
+  leaks reduced vs baseline).
+
+## Remaining divergences
+
+| Item | Disposition |
+|---|---|
+| `edge_float_nan_display` (`NaN` vs `nan`) | OPEN, tiny — one C float-printer branch; unscoped, candidate micro-PR or M6 |
+| `concurrency_panic_test` (err through task closures) | OPEN (a-M) |
+| `encoding_test` messages | OPEN polish (a-S) |
+| `math_extended_test` precision | BLOCKED on canonical float formatting decision |
+| `struct_impl`, `struct_embedding`, `decorators`, `extension_methods`, selective-import group | DEFERRED to HIR→IR (noted in harness) |
+| P3 HTTP `vm-only` set (6) | runtime track |
+| Unicode `lower/upper/trim`, float→string ownership | runtime track (float half blocked on format decision) |
+| Call/operand evaluation order | OPEN audit (no divergence observed; probes in M1 impl) |
+| OOM diagnostics parity | OPEN small |
+| Message-text convergence | ongoing polish, non-gating by spec §10 |
+| `try`-conversion table | M1 impl (representational) |
+| Negative indices | CLOSED — `edge_negative_index` strict |
+
+## Spec freeze

+`docs/ir-spec-draft.md`: FROZEN except §4 canonical float formatting,
+which awaits the pending decision (blocks only `math_extended_test`
+precision + the `zzrt` formatting ownership in M3). Closure capture

+### 4.1 Float formatting — canonical (MUST, FROZEN)
+
+Output is the shortest decimal string that round-trips to the same
+`f64` (Rust `Display` semantics), produced by the Rust runtime core
+only. No backend formats floats itself: the VM computes it inline and
+the AOT backend calls `zz_float_format_raw` (in `zz_native_rt`
+`float_fmt`) through the C ABI. C MUST NOT use `printf %g` (or any C
+float printer) for user-visible floats.
+
+The rule, arm-for-arm with the VM (`zz_runtime::value` float Display):
+
+- finite + integral (`fract() == 0`, includes `±0`): `{x:.1}`.
+- anything else: `{x}` (shortest round-trip).
+- special values fall out of Rust `Display`: `NaN`, `inf`, `-inf`.
+
+Recorded VM ground truth (2026-10-05; ZZ has no exponent literals,
+so extremes are built via `math.pow` / `float("…")` parsing, which
+accepts exponents):
+
+| value | prints |
+|---|---|
+| `0.1` | `0.1` |
+| `0.1 + 0.2` | `0.30000000000000004` |
+| `1.0` | `1.0` (integrals keep `.0`) |
+| `-0.0` (literal) | `-0.0` |
+| `0.0 - 0.0` (computes `+0`) | `0.0` |
+| `math.pow(10.0, 21.0)` (= 1e21) | `1000000000000000000000.0` (full expansion, never exponent) |
+| `math.pow(10.0, -7.0)` (= 1e-7) | `0.0000001` (positional, never exponent) |
+| `2.5`, `100.0`, `123456789.0` | as written (`.0` kept) |
+| `math.NAN` | `NaN` |
+| `math.INF` | `inf` |
+| `0.0 - math.INF` | `-inf` |
+| `f64::MAX` | 309 digits + `.0` (311 chars, no exponent) |
+| `5e-324` (min subnormal) | `0.` + 322 chars ending in `5` (326 chars, no exponent) |
+
+Conformance: `edge_float_format` pins all of the above in-fixture on
+both engines (exact strings, including the 300+ char expansions) plus
+strict quad parity; `edge_float_nan_display` pins `NaN` via `0.0/0.0`.
+The Rust-core unit tests (`float_fmt`) pin the same vectors. Do not
+change VM output: any VM Display change must break these pins loudly.
+
+Out of scope for §4 (separate paths, unchanged): JSON stringify keeps
+its own number rendering on both engines; float→int saturation is §5.

Subject: [PATCH 106/145] fix(aot): recognize raw scalar globals in function
 bodies (CLASS 2 follow-up)\n\nThe scalar-global fix only covered top-level
 Decl: function-body\nvalues don't arrive as bare Ident (ident=None), so q8 :=
 v4 still\nemitted (zz_global).i on a raw int64_t. emitted_is_raw_scalar
 now\nalso matches the emitted C id against scalar globals directly.\nCaught
 by the fuzz pre-run (member-reference NATFAILs); 60-case\nsample fully green
 after.

+## Closure probe report (spec §1.6–1.8 ground truth)
+
+Probed on both engines; the decided semantics is the reference, engines
+are judged against it:
+
+- By-reference both directions (scope→closure, closure→scope): BOTH AGREE.
+- Escaping closures (returned from `func`, called later): BOTH AGREE.
+- Loop/block-local capture (`for i`, `while`-body `y`, bare-block `z`
+  referenced by a closure): BOTH DEVIATE — the VM raises a runtime
+  `undefined variable` (check passes; the capture scan in
+  `vm/capture.rs` never marks block/loop locals as captured), while
+  native captures but yields unit (silent wrong value). Fix size: M on
+  each engine (VM: mark closure-referenced block/loop locals captured +
+  per-iteration fresh cells; AOT: capture block/loop locals into the
+  closure env). Recommended post-M1 alongside the IR escape analysis.
+- `spawn` capture: VM snapshots at spawn (CORRECT per §1.8); NATIVE
+  SHARES the cell (observes post-spawn mutation — deviates). Fix size:
+  S–M on the AOT task env (clone captures at spawn).
+
+## OOM audit close-out
+
+No live-OOM fixture: the only language-level huge-allocation path
+(`str.repeat` with a 2⁶² count) hangs instead of failing fast (it is a
+ZZ-level loop), and real exhaustion fixtures are nondeterministic and
+hostile to CI (cgroup kills, swap storms). Documented contract instead:
+
+- Native: fallible sites print `zz: out of memory (<site>)` /
+  `zz: arena out of memory` to stderr and exit 1 (malloc-checked).
+- VM: Rust allocation failure aborts via the Rust OOM handler
+  (SIGABRT, no ZZ message).
+- Unifying these (OOM handler + exit-code parity) is post-M7 work;
+  the IR carries no OOM semantics in M1.

@@ -15,6 +15,36 @@ loop-arena store bug (NUL bytes), a SIGSEGV in dict-set of arena keys,
 and the index-set `zz_int` mis-boxing of string concats. Default mode
 is byte-identical for every seed (fixed-seed CI smoke fixtures).
 
+`--shapes v3` adds move-append/aliasing shapes (prefix `ga*.zz`):
+copied arrays, self-push, method/append loops, field takes, call
+threading, closure capture, dict slots, `?` early exit.
+
+`--shapes v4` adds eight families (prefix `gv*.zz`), all printing
+LABELED lines so the oracle compares real values (bare numbers are
+stripped by the normalizer): floats (Display incl. NaN/INF, spec §4),
+mixed `*`/`/` with `**` precedence, agreeing closure forms
+(accumulator, factory, late-bound global), nested/aliased stores,
+strings/interp, compound stores, total casts (incl. exponent-string
+float parsing), plain structs. Known-open divergences are excluded by
+design: `task.spawn`, loop/block-captured closures, side-effecting
+index stores, struct methods / whole-struct display, `rand_*`, huge
+allocations, negative int exponents. v4 caught a `0**N` divisor
+generator bug and the scalar-global function-body double-unbox on its
+first runs. Empty-prefix output for default/v2/v3 is byte-identical to
+before (verified against HEAD); the fixed-seed smoke set is unaffected.
+
+## Batch mode (not in CI)
+
+One native build per K cases: `gen.py --batch SHAPE START COUNT
+OUTDIR PERBATCH` writes `b*.zz` files (prefixed names via `CPREFIX` +
+`ZZBEGIN`/`ZZEND` markers) plus `manifest.json`;
+`tests/fuzz/run_batch.sh` runs each batch once per engine, demuxes
+per-case output, and bisects red batches into singles
+(`gen.py --one`, same seeds AND prefixes) through `run.sh`. Green
+batches cost one clang build for K cases; only red batches pay
+per-case builds. A red batch with clean singles fails as a
+batch-harness inconsistency (never silently passed).
+

Subject: [PATCH 114/145] test: tiered CI, batched parity, parallel quad,
 cached plugin scaffold

- CI: PRs run test-fast.sh (VM-only) + batched native parity
  (~4 clang builds for 60 strict fixtures); merges run full suite
  with strict natives via batch (quad/error/known-failures stay
  individual). Same programs, same flags, demuxed per file.
- New batched_parity target: flat case_N staging, pub-main
  injection, marker demux, run.sh-identical normalization.
  batch_lists.rs is the shared eligible/excluded source of truth;
  inventory test fails if any strict fixture loses coverage.
- dual_engine_parity: individuals skip native legs for
  batch-covered fixtures in ZZ_BATCH_NATIVE=1 mode; quad matrix
  parallelized (4 workers, ZZ_QUAD_JOBS override): VM-only leg
  244s-contended/minutes sequential -> ~10s.
- plugin_e2e: single cargo invocation for both crate types,
  dev profile, content-stamped shared scaffold under target/
  (cargo cache hits across runs): 253s -> ~36s warm.
- Exclusions document two real loader bugs found by batching:
  diamond imports of non-pub ZZ std items (only first importer
  resolves) and one-module/two-namespaces rejection.

+//! Batched parity: one native build per K strict fixtures.
+//!
+//! The individual `parity_strict!` tests each pay a cold clang compile
+//! for their native leg (~5s). This target groups batchable strict
+//! fixtures into import-drivers (20 per build): each fixture is imported
+//! as a module (body runs at import, isolated namespace — no renames),
+//! `pub`-injected mains are called explicitly, and per-case output is
+//! demuxed on markers and compared VM-vs-native with the same
+//! normalization as `tests/fuzz/run.sh`.
+//!
+//! Modes (`ZZ_BATCH_NATIVE=1` = full coverage):
+//! - unset (local default): a 3-fixture smoke subset validates the
+//!   machinery fast; per-fixture tests keep their native legs.
+//! - set (CI): all batchable fixtures; pair with `ZZ_PARITY_VM_ONLY=1`
+//!   so individuals assert VM legs while this target owns natives.
+//!
+//! Batchable = strict-success outside `regression/`+`errors/` (the quad
+//! owns those), minus stdin/port/spawn/env-argv fixtures (explicit
+//! `EXCLUDED` with reasons; `batch_inventory_complete` fails if any

Subject: [PATCH 115/145] feat(strings): doubled-brace {{ }} escapes in single
 + triple strings

{{ renders {, }} renders }. Lexer-only; checker/runtime/Codegen
untouched so VM==AOT holds. fmt doubles braces on print for
roundtrip. Migrates json fixtures to }}}} for nested closes.

+Literal braces use doubled escapes — `{{` renders `{`, `}}`
+renders `}` — in both `"..."` and `"""..."""` strings. This is the
+preferred way to emit JSON, CSS, or template syntax:
+
+```zz
+println("{{name}}")        // {name} (no interpolation)
+println("{{{name}}}")     // {World} (literal braces + value)
+println(".a{{color:red}}") // .a{color:red}
+
+// Multiline works the same way:
+css := """
+    .a{{color:red}}
+    """
+```
+
+`\{` / `\}` remain accepted for backwards compatibility and mean
+the same as `{{` / `}}`, but prefer the doubled form.

Subject: [PATCH 116/145] =?UTF-8?q?feat(ir):=20zzc-codec=20slice=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20zz=5Fir=20crate,=20bytecode=20run/dis/emit,=20sourc?=

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New zz_ir crate: ZZC1/u32-v1 section codec (TYPES/STRINGS/CONSTS/
FUNCS/CODE/SPANS/ANNOT), full type language, const pool, lifted func
table with tabled default-arg chunks, typed core ops, join-depth
verifier (restoring-match edges, loop-exit truncation, terminal
break/continue, saturating Pop), deterministic encoder (bit-identical
re-encode), 500-case no-panic decode fuzz, stable zz dis.

VM chunks lower with fused-op desugaring (TakeSlot, VecPush,
Slot*Int); dispatch ops (TakeVar, VecPushField/Method, SpawnClosure)
stay core. Raise rebuilds executable chunks with per-func pools and
chunk-default execution in the call path (plus SpawnHook threading).

CLI: zz run --bytecode (.zz round-trips through bytes; .zzc loads
with no frontend), zz dis (.zzc/.zz), zz build --emit-ir. Bare .zzc
interpreter registers all stdlib namespaces (checker already gated).

Spec §7: stores evaluate base, index, value left-to-right. VM +
tree-walker fixed (StoreIndexOp pop order, Swap-fed SetField,
scoped-temp chained write-back); edge_index_store_order promoted
from quad-split/known-failure to strict; new eval_order_store
conformance fixture (both engines log [1,0,9,4,5,0,1,7,0]).

Tests: zz_ir round-trip suite (11), bytecode_parity target (all
batchable strict fixtures byte-exact run-vs-bytecode + .zzc file
loop). e2e 302 green, dual 185 green, fmt/clippy clean.

+//! - all table ids (strings, consts, funcs, types) are in range,
+//! - all jump targets land inside the owning function,

- #214 diamond imports: registrar-inserted keys are seed-owned, so
  per-module check partitioning restores instead of consuming them.
  Covers full-module, selective, wildcard, and plugin imports.
  14 fixtures re-eligible for batching.
- #216 std multi-namespace: same std module may serve several
  importers under different qualifiers (register_std_ns); the
  one-namespace rule stays for user files.
- #215 struct globals: declare boxed (collect_globals), emit literals
  boxed (global Decl fast path), unbox-on-store for raw locals
  (#188.2 same pattern). Promotes struct_impl + struct_embedding
  from known-failures to strict; fixture tags updated.
- #222 shim order: a real ZZ body shadows native classification
  (std-twin ghosts from conservative .len fallback no longer abort).
- tests.rs json source migrated to }}}} (brace-escape commit missed
  it — this was the CI/dev json failure, not environment).
- check-cache genesis v4 + git hash (issue #221 dev-loop staleness).
- Batch support/ merge for local-import fixtures; alias_import +
  enum_import stay individual (genuine shapes-alias collision).
- New fixture tags field-store/struct-literal (+FEATURES.md).

Subject: [PATCH 119/145] feat(ir): populate function signatures from HIR
 during lowering

- lower_typed(chunk, func_sigs): per-function FuncSig resolved by
  dotted name (MakeFunc sites); closures/entry/defaults fall back to
  Unknown. Default-arg chunks take their return type from the owner
  parameter type.
- Checker Type -> IrType conversion with a deduplicated type table
  (Never/Error map to Unknown: no layout to carry).
- CLI run --bytecode/dis/emit-ir all lower through typed sigs.
- zz dis prints sig= with resolved type names (AOT debugging).
- typed_signatures_populate test: exact sig + re-encode stability.

Bytecode behavior unchanged (sigs are metadata): bytecode_parity
green, zz_ir 12 green, fmt/clippy clean.

Subject: [PATCH 120/145] feat(aot): Chunk->C backend behind --chunk (slice-1)

Lower verified IR chunks to C against the shared runtime: boxed
frame mirroring the VM, unboxed int64 twins for int-closed funcs,
store-index fusion, origin-checked calls. Coverage fails clean
instead of miscompiling. Dual-codegen CI diff test included.

+//! Chunk→C backend: compile a verified IR [`Module`][zz_ir] to C.
+//!
+//! The AOT-from-chunk slice of the unified pipeline. Every core op maps
+//! to a small C fragment against the same runtime the HIR backend uses;
+//! arithmetic, comparison, branches, and POD stay inline C (UB-free —
+//! the build uses `-fwrapv`, matching the spec's wrapping rules), while
+//! handle-backed and heavy builtins route through `zz_native_rt`/C impls.
+//!
+//! Execution model: one C function per IR function over a value array
+//! (`st[]`). Slots live at `[0..nslots)` (params seated first), the
+//! operand stack grows above them — the same layout as the VM frame, so
+//! slot indices transfer verbatim. Ownership discipline: every stack
+//! slot holds an owned reference (push clones, pop-discard releases,
+//! stores assign + release the temp); runtime calls borrow unless named
+//! `take` (which move). Frame teardown retains the return value and
+//! releases everything else, so even error paths stay balanced.
+//!
+//! Two emission modes per function:
+//! - **boxed** (default): full `zz_value` traffic, all types.
+//! - **unboxed int twin** (`_u` suffix): when the signature is
+//!   all-`int`→`int` and every op is int-closed, the body compiles to
+//!   raw `int64_t` traffic with direct recursive calls. Boxed callers
+//!   unbox through the wrapper (checker-guaranteed ints, unchecked like
+//!   the HIR backend). This is what keeps `fib`/`tak` within 5% of the
+//!   HIR backend's own unboxed twins.
+//!
+//! Coverage: [`coverage`] gates the parity harness — anything else is a
+//! clean build error naming the op (never a miscompile).

Removes stale known-failure entry for tuple-literal boxing
((a,b) := (2+3,7*8) now builds and runs on both VM and native).
Adds parity_syntax_destructuring strict test so fuzzer buckets
stay truthful. Verified: zz run + zz build both print 5,56.

Fixes #241

* docs: answer how ZZ differs from Rust

ZZ is its own language (frontend, checker, VM, AOT via C),
not sugar on Rust. Documents value semantics vs borrow
checker, green-thread concurrency, app/services scope,
and C-ABI plugin interop.

Fixes #197

+## How is ZZ different from Rust?
+
+ZZ is not syntactic sugar on top of Rust. It is an independent language
+with its own frontend, type checker, tree-walk VM, and AOT backend
+(ZZ → C → native binary), plus its own standard library.
+
+- **Memory without a borrow checker.** ZZ has value semantics: functions
+  receive copies from the programmer's perspective, there are no
+  references, no lifetimes, no `&`/`&mut`. The compiler/runtime may elide
+  copies internally (copy-on-write, in-place slots), but aliasing is never
+  observable. Rust gives you control via ownership/borrows; ZZ trades that
+  control for simpler reasoning.
+- **Concurrency model.** ZZ ships green threads and channels as the default
+  pipeline primitive. No `async`/executors to wire up for the common case.
+- **Scope.** ZZ targets services, CLIs, and data pipelines with batteries
+  included (HTTP, JSON, fs, SQL). It cannot do everything Rust can: no
+  `unsafe`, no zero-cost abstractions, no `no_std`/embedded, no manual
+  layout control. For those, use Rust (including as a ZZ native plugin).
+- **Interop.** ZZ plugins speak C ABI (`plugin.zzi`); Rust crates can back
+  plugins, but the ZZ side never exposes Rust semantics.

Subject: [PATCH 122/145] Imports/loader batch: hard errors, plugin selective,
 re-export loud fail, docs (#260)

* fix(loader): bare import std is hard error with hint

import std with no module now emits error naming no module
plus hint for concrete module, instead of silent unused warning.
Adds errors/bare_import_std.zz fixture and e2e coverage.

Fixes #226

* docs(loader): document circular-import ban and extract-shared-types pattern

Keeps the hard error, blesses the c.zz restructure workaround
until cycles are supported. Tracks #232.

* fix(loader): pub import with structs fails loudly at re-export site

pub import previously copied funcs/bindings but silently dropped
structs, leaving confusing unknown struct at consumer. Now emits
clear error naming the struct and suggesting direct import.
Supports funcs/bindings re-export unchanged.

Fixes #230

* test(loader): lock selective generic bare-name parity (#231)

Bare squared(21) via import helpers.math_utils(squared) resolves
on check, VM, and native through import-alias maps. Adds strict
parity test to prevent regression; no loader change needed.

* docs(loader): clarify one-file-one-namespace rule and diamond workaround

Diamond aliasing (same file as x and y) stays an error because
struct identity is namespace-qualified. Improves the diagnostic
hint and documents the shared-name workaround. Tracks #228.

* feat(loader): support selective and wildcard imports from plugins

import zimg(resize), resize as rz, and zimg(*) now register bare
names first-wins like std selective imports, instead of erroring.
Missing symbols error at import site with plugin.zzi hint.
Checker and runtime resolve via seed entries plus existing
import-alias fallback.

Supports #229

Subject: [PATCH 123/145] Checker DX + syntax helpers: Sherlock diagnostics
 batch (244-248) (#268)

* fix(parser): single targeted error with fix for = in conditions

if/while conditions with single = now emit one error (use ==)
with safe fixit instead of three confusing parse errors.
Recovery consumes = RHS so block parsing continues.

Fixes #244

* fix(parser): Sherlock delimiter diagnostics - remove extras, add missing with place

Extra closers (} ) ]) now report unexpected with no matching
opening plus remove-it delete fix, at statement level, expression
level, and end-of-statement position, skipping the bracket so
parsing continues instead of cascading.

Missing closers now carry add-it-here insert fixes at all 28
expected-to-close sites, mismatched pairs (add before the wrong
closer), and end-of-file (add at end). Recovery stops at closers
so a missing ) yields one error instead of orphaned unclosed noise.

Unterminated strings and block comments point at the opening
quote with add-the-closer fix (end of line for single-line,
end of file for triple-quoted), and swallow-cascade filtering
keeps the root cause plus earlier real errors only.

Deletions render as help: remove this instead of replace with empty.

* feat(syntax): wrong-syntax right-way hints - bracket generics, bounds, delimiters follow-up

func f[T] and struct S[T] now parse for recovery and report one
targeted error showing the <T> form with auto-fix, explaining [T]
applies a generic type (Box[T]) or makes an array type. Bounds
survive recovery ([T: Num] suggests <T: Num>, multi-param and
compound bounds included).

Unknown bounds suggest the closest of Num/Ord/Eq/Display with fix
(levenshtein plus prefix fallback for Number -> Num).

Checker Sherlock batch: Option/Result/bool variant-family hints
(.some where .ok belongs and vice versa), enum typo suggestions,
unwrapped-Result value-site errors with three fixes both directions,
and cascade suppression (mismatch binds Error, exhaustive skips
poisoned scrutinees).

Parser batch: stray closers say remove-it with delete fix at
statement, expression, and end-of-statement positions; all 28
missing-closer sites carry add-it-here insert fixes; EOF and
mismatch pairs name the place; skip_to_stmt_end stops at closers
so one typo yields one error; unterminated strings/comments point
at the opener with add-the-closer fix and swallow-cascade filtering.

* feat(checker): Sherlock batch two - div-zero lint, unreachable, fn/import smarts, stats

Integer division/remainder by literal zero fails at check time with
the exact spot (float 1.0/0.0 stays legal as inf). Fixture comments
updated to check-time errors; failure parity preserved on both engines.

Unreachable code after diverging return/break/continue (or fully
diverging if/match) warns without failing, verified against defer
semantics (deferred calls still run; dead statements after do not).

Unknown-function calls suggest the closest known function. Bare and
qualified std names without imports suggest the providing import for
every std module present in the seed, not just the hardcoded list.

zz check --stats prints per-file and total modules, cache hits and
misses, seed size, and wall time; loader tracks S1 outcomes in
LoadStats. Published check performance budget in docs/cli.md.

Syntax follow-ups in the same push: bracket-generics recovery with
bounds and bound typo suggestions, stray/missing delimiter fixes,
unterminated string cascade filtering.

* feat(checker): Sherlock batch three - named calls, try guidance, perf guard

Arity errors name the callee now (issue-exact backtick-add takes
2 arguments), matching the requested format. Missing-parameter notes
respect named arguments instead of assuming positional prefix.
Unknown named arguments suggest the real parameter.

Question-mark guidance: Option and Result propagation failures name
the concrete return type to switch to, and ? on a non-wrappable type
says to remove it. Failed ?/try arms yield Error so follow-on code
stays silent under cascade discipline.

Perf guard: 400-fn check smoke test with a generous bound plus the
--stats counters land the observable half of #248 alongside the
published budget. Fixture tags fixed to the controlled vocabulary.

Subject: [PATCH 124/145] feat(interp): single-line strings expand digit- and
 paren-led expressions (#269)

{1 + 2} prints 3 and {(a)} works in "..." strings, matching the
long-standing triple-quoted rule (same is_interp_start trigger set:
ident, digit, open-paren). {{, {} and JSON-like {"key" stay literal
in both forms, with escape precedence keeping {{7}} literal.

Documents the exact expansion rule plus the regexp-quantifier
consequence (^[0-9a-f]{{8}}$ like Python f-strings and Rust format!),
and migrates in-tree patterns (stdlib email regex, uuid fixtures).
Template-mode dead-brace warnings updated to the unified rule.

Documents integer wrap semantics for + - * (two's-complement on both
engines, never traps) with the toml guard-pattern pointer, alongside
the div-by-zero and MIN/-1 trap behavior. Closes #249, closes #250.

Subject: [PATCH 125/145] Native correctness: short-circuit, selective consts,
 detailed traps (239, 240, 251) (#270)

* fix(native): short-circuit && and || in AOT lowering

Hoisted operand statements (index traps, calls) ran unconditionally,
defeating C-level short-circuit: len(t)>=8 && t[2]==":" OOB-trapped
natively on short tokens, which is the real root cause behind #239
(decimal-int parse looked guilty; the guard before it was not).

Right operands now emit into a guarded else-branch so they evaluate
only when the left side does not decide. Verified: toml.parse
x = 1 returns OK len=1 natively, minimal && and || repros match VM,
chunk and bytecode VMs already agreed. Adds short_circuit fixture
with e2e and strict parity coverage.

Fixes #239

* fix(native): selective-import consts print values on AOT

Bare PI from import std.math(PI) lowered to unit (empty line) because
only qualified spellings hit the const table, and only on the Path
arm (bare names are Ident). Both Ident and Path arms now consult the
math const table, resolving selective aliases (PI as pi) through the
import map and module heads (m.TAU) through namespace aliases.

Checker side: is_math_const resolves both alias kinds so aliased and
ns-aliased consts type as Float values instead of falsely erroring as
printable functions. Extends math_consts fixture (selective, aliased,
ns-aliased) under existing e2e and strict parity.

Fixes #240

* test(parity): register new strict fixtures in batch inventory

destructuring and short_circuit join ELIGIBLE; generic_selective is
EXCLUDED (needs helpers/ support dir, batch sandbox is flat). Fixes
batch_inventory_complete.

* fix(native): traps carry operands and enclosing function

Index failures now report index and length plus the function
(zz error: index 5 out of bounds for length 2 in prog.boom),
mirroring the VM wording, instead of a bare message. Dict misses
report the key. Implemented as zz_index_trap in the C runtime with
operand temps bound once at all seven emission sites (reads,
writes, compound assigns), preserving evaluation order and
refcount behavior.

Integer division, remainder, and MIN/-1 traps in zz_binop include
both operands. Error-parity harness only needs failure plus the
word error, so richer native messages stay green.

Line numbers still need source plumbing (VM bisection remains for
exact lines); chunk backend keeps its own trap helper. Fixes #251

Subject: [PATCH 126/145] LSP flags, selective diagnostics, always-on
 completion (255-257) (#271)

* fix(lsp): honor --version/--help instead of LSP parse error

Flags short-circuit before the serve loop so editors and checkhealth
probes can identify the spawned server build. Adds integration tests
asserting plain output with no JSON-RPC framing. Fixes #255

* fix(lsp): seed checker with document imports so selective names resolve

The server checked each file with raw stdlib_funcs (std.* keys only),
skipping the loader's namespace copies. Valid selective files then
reported both undefined-variable and unused-import on the same name,
contradicting zz check, and member completion found zero keys.

New import_seed module mirrors the loader's std-import seeding for the
funcs table (full namespaces, selective bare names incl. aliases,
wildcards); unknown modules are skipped for the checker's own errors.
GlobalState.checker_seed_for applies it per document, and the recheck
pipeline plus the test helper use it. Regression tests assert clean
diagnostics for const, fn, and aliased selective imports, and exactly
one warning for a genuinely-unused one. Fixes #256

* fix(lsp): completion never goes dark on healthy documents

Member completion needed a stored check result, so any query racing
the async recheck answered zero items at both bare and math. positions.
The handler now runs a synchronous single-file check (same seeded path
as diagnostics) when no result is stored yet. Position mapping clamps
past-end columns to the line end instead of spilling into later lines,
and context detection clamps out-of-range/unaligned offsets instead of
risking a panic slice.

Regression tests cover the issue repros end to end over the service:
bare position serves namespaces plus keywords with kinds, math. lists
FUNCTION members with math.name details, seeded selective PI completes,
and a pre-recheck query still serves (fails without the fallback).
Fixes #257

Subject: [PATCH 127/145] LSP packages: dep/workspace harvest, full completion,
 pow census, scan fix (#272)

* fix(checker): selective std calls count as import use

The loader rewrites bare selective calls to the canonical std-rooted
spelling (pow(2, 3) -> std.math.pow(2, 3)), but the unused-import census
only accepted the short alias form (math.pow). Every selectively
imported std call warned unused import falsely.

The census now also accepts the std-rooted qualified form. Genuinely
unused selective imports still warn. Regression tests at the loader
level (used call quiet, unused call warns). The stale S1 cache can
replay the old warning after this fix: clear ~/.cache/zz/check when
bisecting import diagnostics.

* feat(lsp): harvest project dependencies and workspace modules

zz add table made runtime work while the editor reported unused import
+ undefined variable and completed nothing: the server knew only stdlib
plus open buffers.

New deps module harvests signatures loader-style (entry file plus
relative siblings, pub items under the import alias, unhealthy files
skipped, self-type qualification like the loader rewrite, per-root
cache with mtime refresh, workspace files cached per (file, ns)).
checker_seed_for_path merges dep and workspace seeds (importer-relative
resolution, alias-or-stem namespaces) before the std/import-selective
seeding; the recheck pipeline, the completion fallback and the test
helper all carry document paths through. Documents also snapshot seed
bindings, since CheckResult.bindings is own-file-only by design and
hover/completion need seeded globals.

* feat(lsp): complete everything with pub on it

Member completion (lib.) now serves functions, structs, aliases, enums
and globals from any seeded namespace. Selective lists resolve the
typed path on demand (file harvest beside the document, generics
included) so the first import already suggests; bare scope offers
selectively-imported generics whose qualified signature exists.
Import statements complete std. modules, local file paths (with
exact textEdits, subdirectory descent included) and stay scope for
unresolvable locals. Dot-access inside string literals no longer
hijacks. Full audit matrix as unit tests: scope, dot, import paths,
selective lists, workspace fixtures (main + math_utils/lib with pub
funcs/consts/structs/generics), a vendored dep, and a live-shape
service test for table. members.

* fix(lsp): workspace scan never follows symlinked dirs

initialize crawled vendor/<dep> links into whole foreign trees (CAS
checkouts, linked repos), stalling startup for tens of seconds.
read_dir file types (no follow) now gate descent: real files index as
before, symlinked directories are skipped. Deps stay fully served
through the harvest path. Regression test with a linked dir.

+//! import produced `unused import` + `undefined variable`, and `table.`
+//! completed nothing. This module harvests dep signatures the way the

+//! under the import alias) so diagnostics and completion agree with
+//! `zz check`.

+//! Only healthy files contribute: a dep file whose own check errors is
+//! skipped (stale vendor code must not poison the importing file with
+//! phantom types). Results are cached per project root and refreshed when
+//! any dep source is newer than the cache.

Subject: [PATCH 128/145] LSP colors that mean something: call classification,
 paren-free items (#273)

* fix(lsp): semantic tokens classify call callees as functions

Call expressions recursed into the callee, so every call read as a
plain variable/namespace: pow(2, 3) and table.render(..) had no color.
The collector now takes the checker's known function names; matching
bare and qualified callees (plus selectively-imported items) tokenize
as functions, value paths keep namespace color. Handler builds the set
from the stored check result. Classification tests included.

* fix(lsp): completion items are explicitly paren-free plain text

Every item now carries insertTextFormat PlainText and a test asserts no
label, insert text, filter text or textEdit across scope, member,
import-path and selective completions contains parens. Stray () on
accept comes from client autopairs confirm hooks, not the server.

Subject: [PATCH 129/145] Parity gate green: all_funcs mirror; struct-literal
 completion; editor colors (#275)

* fix(loader): std selective/wildcard seeds reach all_funcs

Bare selective names (PI, aliased ee) were seeded per-module but never
mirrored into the all-universe, which the first-success snapshot had
already taken: later modules' selectives vanished from LoadResult.
The VM never noticed (per-module checks), but the native HIR re-check
reported undefined variable while printing correct values, breaking
VM/native stderr parity in batch runs.

Mirror inserted targets into all_funcs with the local branch's generic
guard. The batched-parity assertion now prints both stderrs on mismatch
instead of a bare differs line. Regression test with two aliased
selective modules.

* feat(lsp): struct-literal field completion with scope fallback

User{id: 12, na} now offers id/name/age as FIELD items instead of
buffer words. New StructLiteral context detects ident-glued unclosed
braces (single- and multi-line); names resolve exact-first then by
unique last segment (lib.Point), unknown or ambiguous names fall back
to scope completion so ordinary blocks never go dark, and value
positions (name: typed, digit-led) stay scope. Member kinds, details
and the paren-free guarantee match dot-access. Audit matrix: partial,
all-fields, after-comma, value-position, block fallback, unknown-name
fallback, dotted dep struct.

* fix(ci): stray blank line in loader tests

Subject: [PATCH 130/145] fix(lsp): advertise inlayHint and references
 providers (#281)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The server already implements textDocument/inlayHint,
textDocument/references, and textDocument/documentHighlight, but never
advertised inlay_hint_provider or references_provider — so editors
gated on supports_method() (inlay auto-enable, gr references) never
fired. Two capability lines + capability asserts.

Subject: [PATCH 131/145] feat(stdlib): positional str search
 (find/rfind/starts_with_at/ends_with_at/trim_span)

Byte offsets throughout: O(1) per call, O(n) streaming total, and
backend-identical on every input (no char-counting divergence).
Matches Rust str::find/rfind byte semantics; len()/slicing stay
char-oriented by design (documented in stdlib.md).

Layers: Rust natives + checker sigs (std + short spellings),
C runtime twins + headers, AOT lowering map, e2e fixture +
dual-engine parity entry, stdlib docs. find-loop line scan beats
split on the 322KB bench (13ms vs 21ms x5) with zero substrings.

Subject: [PATCH 132/145] feat(stdlib): str.bytes / bytes.to_str /
 bytes.to_ints bridge

str.bytes(s) copies UTF-8 bytes to plain [int] (one alloc, composes
with indexing, snapshots and the bytes.* vocabulary); bytes.to_str
strict-decodes with .err on range/UTF-8 violations identically on VM
and AOT; bytes.to_ints exposes opaque buffers as plain ints.

Layers: Rust natives + checker sigs (std + short), C runtime twins +
headers, AOT lowering, e2e fixture + dual-engine parity, stdlib docs.
Parity caught and fixed two error-message/signature divergences
during development (value-carrying range message, hard-error vs
Result split on element types).

Subject: [PATCH 133/145] perf(stdlib): memchr scan cores, native str.count

- Rust: str.count via memchr find_iter (no split temporaries; frozen
  edge semantics probed first: empty counts chars+1); find/rfind
  already delegate to memchr-fast std search
- Pure-ZZ split-based count removed (would conflict with native entry)
- C: zz_str_count twin + memchr-skip upgrade for contains/find/rfind
  loops (portable memchr+memcmp, same non-overlap semantics)
- Fixture: count edge cases folded into str_find_test (e2e + parity);
  stdlib.md count row added

Subject: [PATCH 136/145] fix(stdlib): trim_span backward scan usize underflow
 on short windows

ws_width_back used end-N >= s guards that wrap when end-s < N,
indexing out of bounds (found via zcc offset-core parity: any
1-2 byte line ending in a high byte panicked). Rewrote guards as
end-s >= N on both backends; added nb1 regression to str_find_test.
