+188-51 notactuallytreyanastasio/deciduous/main Apr 08 11:26
236c8c5 release: v0.14.0 - observation title + description support
Observations now have first-class title + description semantics:
- CLI warns when creating observations without -d
- `deciduous nodes` shows description inline for observations
- Web viewer detail panel shows description prominently below title
- All templates, commands, and instructions updated

f24f307 Rewrite system prompt with detailed Expert context guidance
The system prompt now explains:
- Every context section Claude receives and how to use it
- That callers tell you the expected return shape
- That sibling modules show available APIs — use them, don't invent
- That functions must actually exist (no hallucinating APIs)
- To write inline logic when needed functionality doesn't exist
- Session continuity across multiple holes in one compile
- That generated code gets written to source for developer review
This directly addresses Claude hallucinating nonexistent functions
like Blog.Visitors.known_ip?/1 by explicitly instructing it to
only call functions visible in the Expert context.

2bc621b Add automatic retry on compile errors with error feedback to Claude
When generated code fails to expand/compile, the error is captured
and sent back to Claude: "The previous code had this compile error:
[error]. The code that failed: [code]. Please fix it."
Uses the existing session continuity (--continue) so Claude has full
context from the original intent + its previous attempt. Retries up
to situation_max_retries times (default: 3) before giving up.
Output shows the attempt number and error at each retry:
│ Compile error (attempt 1/4):
│ undefined function foo/1
│ Asking Claude to fix...

ce1f489 Enrich Expert LS context and add Claude session continuity
Expert context enrichment — when Expert LS engine is running, each hole
now receives:
- Callers of the current function (what callers expect)
- Function definition/spec (the stated contract)
- Module attributes (@moduledoc, @type, etc)
- Struct definitions in the module
- Sibling modules in the same namespace
- Related ExUnit tests
All queries use safe_expert_call which returns [] on failure, so
compilation never breaks if Expert isn't running.
Claude session continuity — the first hole in a compile run starts a
fresh Claude session. Subsequent holes use --continue to resume the
same session, so Claude naturally accumulates context from previously
filled holes. One Claude "brain" across the entire compilation.

ba0e10f feat: Blimp lexer written in Blimp -- first self-hosting step
Added char_at, char_code, from_char_code builtins for char-level
string scanning. The lexer (lib/lexer.blimp) tokenizes: integers,
floats, strings, atoms, identifiers, upper identifiers, keywords,
all operators (+, -, *, /, ==, !=, <-, |>, ::, .., ..., ->),
comments, and whitespace. 6/10 tests pass (multiline and keyword
matching need the string case-match fix).
370 lines of pure Blimp. The compiler is starting to eat itself.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
d2b1898 test: comprehensive coverage -- 125/125 tests pass
Lexer: 36 tests (was 10) -- all tokens, operators, delimiters,
keywords, comments, line/col tracking, edge cases
Parser: 34 tests (was 11) -- all literals, all operators,
unary, parens, func calls, defs with return types,
actors, handlers, dotted names, message sends,
lists, case, spawn, multi-statement, empty input
Evaluator: 31 tests (was 11) -- all literals including nil/bool/atom,
all arithmetic, all comparisons, && and ||, variables,
function def/call/nested, builtins, lists, case with
wildcard and no-match, spawn
Completion: 8 tests
Bootstrap: 16 tests -- full pipeline source->lex->parse->eval
Also fixed: lexer handles underscore via char code (95) to
avoid conflict with Blimp's wildcard pattern.

50afcf7 feat: multi-actor view composition with mount()
Actors own their state via become, render via :render handler.

09b06e5 feat: secure string composition -- SafeHtml, SafeSql, context automaton
Implements the accumulator pattern from the paper:
- SafeHtmlAccumulator: tracks HTML parse context through fixed parts,
applies context-sensitive escaping for each interpolation
- SafeSqlBuilder: parameterizes user input ($1, $2...), never interpolates
- HTML context automaton: pcdata/tag/attr_name/attr_value/url states
- Context-sensitive escapers: html_escape, html_attr_escape, url_escape
- Escaper selection based on current parse context (href -> url_escape)
- Reified safe types: %{__safe_html__: true, content: "..."}
22/34 tests pass. Security-critical tests all pass:
- XSS prevention: <script> tags escaped in pcdata
- URL injection: javascript: URLs escaped in href attributes
- SQL injection: user input parameterized, never interpolated
- Safe text passes through unescaped
Context automaton tests have a scoping issue (12 failures).

the test runner, runtime internals (arenas, scheduling, LLVM),
WASM in the browser, the canvas, and the self-hosting dream.

c57724f fix: chat room fully working -- the 'bug' was a corrupted binary
The Zig evaluator is fine. The elem()/head()/tail() calls all work
correctly at any call depth. The crash was caused by a corrupted
binary from sed-based debug print removal that left the builtins.zig
in an inconsistent state.
Clean rebuild fixes everything. The full chat flow works:
- Login (POST /login, cookie, session)
- Chat rendering (messages from actor state via head/tail)
- Message sending (POST /send)
- Multi-user (Bob sees Alice's messages)
- WebSocket upgrade + broadcast
Used head/tail recursion instead of elem/idx for rendering
(simpler and avoids the index-based patterns).

- Strings: upcase, downcase (char-by-char transformation)
- Views: text, heading, bold, italic, code_inline, divider,
stack_view, row_view (as pure map constructors)
empty?, nil?, not stay as Zig primitives (can't be self-referential).

ef9b0c2 feat: self-hosted evaluator in Blimp -- 10/11 tests pass
Tree-walking evaluator (480 lines) that executes map-based AST:
- Literals: int, float, string, bool, nil, atom
- Arithmetic: +, -, *, / with correct precedence
- Comparisons: ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=
- Variables: assignment and lookup via Env actor
- Functions: def, call, params, closures over env
- Builtins: 25+ delegated to host (print, concat, length, etc.)
- Lists: literal construction and operations
- Case expressions: pattern matching with wildcard
- Actors: definition, spawn, message send (1 test remaining)
Combined self-hosted compiler: lexer (429) + parser (699) +
evaluator (480) = 1608 lines of pure Blimp.
Also fixed: checker allows Any-typed vars as message send targets.

949a13a feat: WebSocket broadcast chat -- zero Any types, typed actors
Full rewrite with proper types:
- ChatRoom, Sessions, Connections, HTTPServer all actor-typed
- No Any types anywhere -- every param is ChatRoom, Sessions, etc.
- WebSocket: upgrade handshake, ws_loop, broadcast to all clients
- Connections actor tracks open WS file descriptors
- broadcast() pushes rendered HTML to ALL connected clients
- JSON builder with proper escaping (no string concat hacks)
- Client JS: WebSocket with reconnect, form intercept, DOM update
WS upgrade confirmed working (101 + state push).
HTTP login + cookie confirmed working (302 + Set-Cookie).
Remaining: render_messages crashes on map lookup from actor state
(likely a scoping issue with lookup on maps from become).

6924581 fix: add debug output for WASM load failures
fdc1689 feat: --self-hosted flag -- Zig bootstraps, Blimp runs
./blimp file.blimp --self-hosted
The Zig runtime loads lib/*.blimp (lexer, parser, evaluator,
codegen, completion, compiler), then executes user code through
the self-hosted pipeline. The Zig lexer/parser/evaluator become
the bootstrap layer only.
./blimp expr.blimp --self-hosted # eval via Blimp compiler
./blimp expr.blimp # eval via Zig compiler (default)
New builtins: write_bytes(path, bytes), read_file(path).
compiler.blimp provides blimp_compile(source, :eval/:wasm/:tokens/:ast).
The Zig is now the kernel: builtins + WASM bridge + CLI.
Everything above it is Blimp.

b6a40a0 feat: BOOTSTRAP -- Blimp compiles Blimp end-to-end, 56/56 tests
The self-hosted compiler compiles programs with: functions with
return type annotations, && and || boolean operators, case
expressions, nested function calls, list operations, string
builtins, comparisons, and multi-line programs.
Fixed: self-hosted lexer now tokenizes &&. Self-hosted parser

evaluator executes && and ||. Parser case-branch scoping fixed
(assignments in case branches don't leak to outer scope).

785a030 feat: self-hosted parser in Blimp -- 11/11 tests pass
Recursive descent parser (699 lines) that produces map-based AST:
- Actor definitions with dotted names, state, handlers, tests
- Function definitions with typed params and return types
- Expressions: arithmetic, comparisons, function calls, message
sends, list literals, case expressions, spawn, assignment
- Operator precedence: comparison > addition > multiplication
Combined with lexer (429 lines): 1128 lines of pure Blimp that
can tokenize and parse Blimp source code into an AST.
Also fixed: string literal lexing uses char code 34 instead of
escaped quote in case branch, scan_string uses char codes.

63dac0f feat: actor scheduler -- mailbox, reduction counter, async sends
The scheduler infrastructure:
- Mailbox: per-actor FIFO message queue (mailbox.zig)
- Scheduler: run queue with round-robin processing (scheduler.zig)
- Reduction counter: every eval() costs 1 reduction (4M default)
- ActorEntry gets mailbox + reductions fields
New builtins:
- send_async(actor, :msg, args...) -- enqueue without blocking
- schedule(ticks) -- process queued messages in round-robin
The scheduler enables concurrent actor execution:
send_async(w1, :compute, 5)
send_async(w2, :compute, 10)
schedule(100) # both workers process their messages
Sync sends (<-) still work as before for backward compat.
All existing tests pass.

- State pane showing vars (green names) and actors (with fields)
- Message log (arrows with target + message)

- Login page, chat page with sidebar (online users) + message list
- Message send via POST, redirect-after-POST pattern
- Dark theme, mobile-friendly, auto-refresh every 3s
- Multiple simultaneous users see each other's messages

blimp_self_eval("source") runs the full self-hosted pipeline:
source string -> Blimp lexer -> Blimp parser -> Blimp evaluator -> result
12 bootstrap tests: integers, arithmetic with precedence, strings,
variables, function def/call, nested calls, builtins, comparisons,
case expressions, list ops, multi-line programs. All pass.
Full suite: lexer (10) + parser (11) + evaluator (11) + bootstrap (12) = 44

16017bb feat: self-hosted Blimp compiler -- 32/32 tests pass
Fixed three bugs:
1. Cons operator [h | tail] dropped the tail (evalList ignored

2. Any-typed params couldn't send messages (checker rejected them
as non-actor types). Fixed resolveActorName to accept Any/hole.
3. Test runner first-pass errors now logged instead of silent.
The self-hosted compiler (1608 lines of pure Blimp) passes all
32 tests: lexer (10), parser (11), evaluator (11).
Blimp can tokenize, parse, and evaluate itself.

6ba6da7 fix: Functions lesson no longer loops -- merged into one check
The 'then' hint showed 'Now try: double(21)' but the next
eval matched the same lesson's check (double still in env),
creating an infinite loop. Merged into one lesson that checks
for double(21) == 42.

c884d57 feat: WebSocket chat -- no more page reloads
The chat room now uses WebSockets for real-time updates:
- Initial page load is HTTP (serves HTML + WS client JS)
- Client opens WebSocket to /ws
- Messages sent as JSON frames over WS
- Server pushes rendered HTML updates instantly
- Client replaces DOM content without page reload
- Exponential backoff reconnect on disconnect
Server-side: accept_loop detects Upgrade header, does WS
handshake (SHA-1 + Base64), enters ws_chat_loop that reads
frames and pushes state. JSON escaping for safe embedding.
No more setTimeout(reload, 3000). Instant.

fca8a7c feat: completion engine in Blimp -- replaces complete.zig logic
69 lines of Blimp replaces the completion matching logic.
Keywords and builtin names derived from lists, prefix matching
via starts_with. 8/8 tests pass, 52/52 total.
Self-hosted Blimp: 1674 lines (lexer 429 + parser 699 +

bc6b4fb fix: nil-safe comparisons, type checker allows nil in ==/</>
char_code returns nil for nil input instead of crashing.
Comparisons (< > <= >=) return false when either side is nil.
Type checker treats nil as comparable with any type.
Lexer nil guards in is_digit, is_alpha, is_alnum, scan functions.
Lexer tests: 6/10 pass (multiline tests need further debugging
in the type checker's interaction with case-match bodies).

12b9018 feat: WASM codegen -- Blimp compiles to WebAssembly
The self-hosted compiler now has a WASM backend (lib/codegen.blimp,
225 lines). Compiles Blimp integer expressions to valid .wasm
modules that run in any WASM runtime.
compile_to_wasm("2 + 3") -> [0,97,115,109,...] (40 bytes)
# Node.js: main() returns 5
# Browser: main() returns 5
Supported: integer literals, +, -, *, /, ==, !=, <, >, <=, >=,
&&, ||, unary negation, booleans, nested expressions.
Output: valid WASM module exporting "main" -> i32.
Bytecode: i32.const, i32.add/sub/mul/div_s, i32.eq/ne/lt_s/gt_s/
le_s/ge_s, i32.and/or.
New builtins: write_bytes(path, byte_list), read_file(path).
23 tests (18 unit + 5 property/500 random compilations). All green.
The full pipeline: Blimp source -> self-hosted lexer -> self-hosted
parser -> self-hosted codegen -> valid .wasm bytes -> runs in browser.

e1a14b2 feat: THE canvas -- generative hex actors, message rays, REPL blob
Added the real BlimpCanvas from web/canvas.js to the tutorial.
Actors render as generative-filled hexagons with SHA-hashed
patterns. Message sends shoot animated rays from the REPL blob
with trailing heads and impact rings. Variables show as squares.
State changes flash white. Auto-layout in hex grid.
This is the compile-time artifact canvas that's always been
part of the Blimp REPL -- now in the tutorial.

e0396f2 feat: ExUnit-inspired test runner for Blimp
New syntax: test "name" do ... end inside actor bodies.
Suite actor state fields are re-evaluated per test for isolation
(spawn Counter gives each test a fresh instance).
Assertions: assert, assert_eq, assert_ne, refute with colored
left/right output on failure.
Two run modes:
./blimp file.blimp --test (single file)
./blimp test test/ (discover *_test.blimp files)
Green dots for pass, red F for fail, failure summary, timing.

54bff04 fix: slice(s, start, len) uses length not end index -- 10/10 lexer tests pass
The slice builtin treated arg 3 as end index but the lexer
(and the docs) use it as length. Fixed to start+len semantics.
This was the root cause of all 4 failing lexer tests -- keyword
matching, newlines, comments, and actor definitions all used
slice to extract substrings.
Also: nil-safe comparisons in evaluator, nil-comparable in
checker, char_code returns nil for nil input.
The self-hosted Blimp lexer (370 lines) now passes all 10 tests.

ca61a07 feat: real-time broadcast -- all WS clients get updates instantly
When any user sends a message or joins/leaves, ALL connected
WebSocket clients receive the updated state immediately.
Architecture:
- HTTP handles login/send/page loads (blocking, one at a time)
- WS upgrade registers the fd in Connections actor, keeps it open
- After any state change (join/send/leave), broadcast() pushes
rendered HTML to every registered WS fd
- Client JS replaces DOM content on WS message
The accept loop handles both HTTP and WS upgrade requests.
WS fds stay open after upgrade for push-only communication.
Messages go via HTTP POST form, updates arrive via WS push.
Open two browser tabs, type in one, see it in the other instantly.

ef1e202 debug: traced elem() index bug in recursive TCP handler chain
The render_messages function works standalone but crashes when
called from the HTTP accept loop. Traced to elem(messages, idx)
receiving idx=1 when it should be idx=0.
The issue appears in slice_idx recursive calls:
slice_idx(items, start, stop, idx + 1, append(acc, elem(items, idx)))
The elem(items, idx) should use idx=0 but gets idx=1. This only
happens when called from 4+ levels deep in the TCP accept loop.
Likely a scope/environment issue in the Zig evaluator's handling
of recursive function calls with expression arguments.

- Self-hosted compiler: lexer tokenizes random ints, self-eval of
random arithmetic (add/sub/mul), comparisons, variables
- Generators: range bounds, length bounds, type correctness
- Actors: cumulative state, reset, spawn independence

property "name" do
given x: gen_integer(0, 100)
given xs: gen_list(10, 0, 50)
assert_eq(reverse(reverse(xs)), xs)
end
Each property runs 100 times with fresh random inputs.
Generators:
gen_integer(min, max) random int in range
gen_string(max_len) random printable ASCII
gen_boolean() random true/false
gen_list(max_len) random list of ints
gen_list(max_len, lo, hi) random list with range
gen_one_of([a, b, c]) random element from list
Parser: property/given keywords, PropertyDef/GivenStmt AST nodes

0001b87 fix: chat deploys cleanly -- WS fallback, no server crashes
- WS upgrade returns 400 (disabled for now, Linux WS builtins

- Server no longer crashes on WS upgrade attempts
Tested on production: login, session, chat, message send all work.
Server stays up across multiple requests.

b4ae6b6 finish up some more typing concerns
33ccd90 WIP
fb5466b more stuff
33b3690 Hole operator: situation _ # directive shells out to Claude
- lexer.zig: capture comment text in last_comment (not reset on newlines)
so parser can read directives like `_ # Hole: fill this in`
- parser.zig: hole branches now store directive text from the comment
body contains a hole node with directive instead of being empty
- eval.zig: evalHole() called when situation hits a directive-only _ branch
- builds prompt: directive + subject value + visible bindings + syntax notes
- shells out to `claude -p <prompt>` as subprocess
- strips markdown fences from response
- parses response with parseFilePublic, evaluates all nodes, returns last
- graceful nil fallback if claude not found or parse fails
- Works at REPL time and file evaluation time (both contexts)
Semantics: situation = incomplete code with Holes, case = complete dispatch
9c5c74d more chugging along with the hole operator
20d8541 Merge blimp-core/view-dsl: View DSL actors render to DOM, interactive tutorial, mobile playground
Resolved conflict in builtins.zig by keeping both math/util builtins from main
and view primitive registrations from view-dsl. Took view-dsl WASM binaries.
5238c23 docs: web framework handoff guide for next session
a23d476 Hole: auto re-exec after patch + diff output
After patching the source file, execv() replaces the current process with
a fresh run of the patched file — zero user interaction required.
Diff output shows exactly what changed:
╔═══ Hole filled: file.blimp:42 ══════
║ - _ # Hole: directive text
║ + _ ->
║ + generated line 1
║ + generated line 2
╚═════════════════════════════════════
The full cycle: hit hole → call Claude → print diff → patch file → re-exec.
Second run uses the real implementation, no hole, no Claude call.
f0435a1 Typed lists and record types: [Item] and %{key: Type, key: Type}
types.zig: add record_type variant to the Type union
- RecordField struct: {name, ty}
- recordField(name) method for O(n) lookup by field name
- record_type and map are mutually compatible (subtyping both directions)
since records are just typed maps at runtime
- parseTypeName now handles %{key: Type, ...} format (record)
alongside the existing %{K => V} format (homogeneous map)
- parseRecordField helper splits "key: Type" into name + type
parser.zig: %{key: Type, ...} accepted as a type annotation
- detects homogeneous (%{K => V}) vs record (%{key: T}) by presence of =>
- handles multi-line record type annotations with newlines between fields
- trailing comma allowed
checker.zig: lookup() on record type returns specific field type
- if key is a string literal, resolves the declared field type
- lookup(profile: %{name: String}, "name") infers String return
- falls back to Any for non-literal keys or unknown fields
8acd934 Hole source patching: living codebase — holes fill themselves permanently
- lexer.zig: preserve last_comment across newline tokens so parser can read
directive text from the line AFTER the hole token is consumed
- parser.zig: save `_` token's line/col BEFORE advancing (correct loc for patch)
new parseHandlerBodyPublic() allows parsing handler-body statements in holes
- eval.zig: evalHole() now patches the source file after filling in
- finds the hole line by its stored loc
- detects original indentation from that line
- builds replacement: `_ ->\n <generated lines>`
- writes patched source back to disk
- subsequent runs hit the real implementation, not the Hole
- main.zig: set evaluator.source_path from resolved file path
--no-type-check flag to skip type checker for exploratory code
4a847ab Fix docs and hole prompt: lambdas/filter/reduce/map all exist and work
f9f865f web server working: escape sequences, auto-spawn actors, file evaluation
- main.zig: file mode now evaluates (was only printing AST); --ast flag for old behavior
- eval.zig: string literals process \r \n \t \\ escape sequences
- eval.zig: actor definitions auto-spawn a singleton + bind actor_ref in env
- value.zig: add ViewNode to typeName() exhaustive switch
- builtins.zig: ArrayListUnmanaged for Zig 0.15 compat in to_html
- .tool-versions: zig 0.15.2
- Makefile: build commands for macOS 26 (zig build runner broken)
- server.blimp: case (not situation) for complete dispatch
b0bef0e web framework: TCP/HTTP builtins in Zig, server.blimp in Blimp
- tcp_listen/accept/read/write/close builtins (POSIX sockets, native only)
- to_html builtin: renders view_node trees to HTML strings
- Handles all 17 view primitives
- row gets data-row attr for flexbox direction
- button sends: attr becomes data-sends + onclick handler
- HTML-escapes string content
- web/server.blimp: HTTP/1.1 server written entirely in Blimp
- HTTP.Server actor: tcp_listen loop, accept, read, dispatch, respond
- Sessions actor: in-memory session store (map of id -> state)
- Pure render_app(data) -> view_node
- Pure handle_event(data, msg) -> data
- html_page wraps view HTML in a full document with styles + client JS
- Client JS: blimpSend() submits button clicks as form POSTs
- PRG pattern: POST handler -> redirect -> GET
a496725 Fix type checker issues, remove --no-type-check escape hatch
types.zig: List → [Any], Map → %{Any=>Any}, ViewNode → Any
Previously these fell through to actor type, causing false errors
checker.zig: length() accepts list, map, tuple, string, nil — any collection
parser.zig: multi-line map literals — skipNewlines() after % and after {
allows %{\n key: val\n} syntax to parse correctly
case/situation as expression on RHS of assignment (x = case foo do...)
builtins.zig: set_at(list, index, value) — list element replacement
main.zig: remove --no-type-check flag entirely, type checker is mandatory
examples: add missing type annotations, use set_at instead of replace_at
683dfb7 examples: three nontrivial Hole operator demos
rate_limiter.blimp — adaptive token bucket with missing backoff strategy,
burst abuse detection, and priority request overdraft logic
content_pipeline.blimp — staged moderation pipeline: sanitize → classify →
score → publish/reject. Classification heuristics and scoring edge cases
are holes; the pipeline wiring and decision dispatch are implemented.
game_rules.blimp — tic-tac-toe engine with missing win detection, score
calculation, illegal move handling, and AI opponent move selection.
Good example of domain-specific reasoning Claude can fill in from context.
