Every section banner dies (103 -> 0) across test/lang, the observer
suites, the C carriers, and the five comment-heavy corpus fixtures;
banner provenance (#N cites, carrier numbers, repair-cluster labels)
folded into headers or adjacent WHY comments. Narration deleted; row
provenance, ref cites, divergence pins, and layout contracts kept
(fwd-ref decl-order guards and bootstrap-gate corpus rationale
restored where the sweep over-cut). Comment-only proven: all 3742
wwbuild workdir .s byte-identical before/after; test-commit and
test-byteid (161 lang + 1399 data, 0 pinned-divergent) green.
Same contract as the 27 repaired byte/artifact survivors: checked
acquisition, one all-exit cleanup funnel per carrier, ENOENT-tolerant
checked unlinks, exact-path deletion, and cleanup failure fails a
passing carrier without overwriting its diagnostic. Also closes the
vacuous-green channels: empty-artifact pairs no longer byte-compare
equal, capture and staging failures fail their row loudly, 950 requires
a clean checker exit on no-error rows and hard-fails on a missing
wwdump_ww, 992 keys its scratch per invocation so a failed cleanup
cannot leak stale objects into the next tool's compare, and 995 no
longer pre-sweeps a workdir it never created. No assertion is weakened;
990_selfhost is retired in the next commit rather than repaired.
Every surviving carrier now owns its artifacts: checked mkdir/mkdtemp/
fopen acquisition, one all-exit cleanup funnel per carrier, ENOENT-
tolerant checked unlinks, exact-path deletion (rm -rf only for an
owned pid-keyed dir or a .sepwork beneath one), and cleanup failure
fails a passing carrier without overwriting its diagnostic. In the
same pass the carriers adapt to the driver contract this branch lands:
--sep and WW_PKGCACHE are gone, -S and the /tmp/ww_run_<pid> scratch
contract are asserted, and rows whose runtime or reject coverage moved
to test/wcc/data fixtures or test/lang @test owners are trimmed to the
byte/artifact/diagnostic observations only they can make.
Repair and adaptation ride together because most files interleave both
in the same hunks; splitting would manufacture intermediate carrier
states that never existed and cannot run against either driver.
The driver flip moves build artifacts from next-to-source <stem>.s to a
.sepwork/ scratch dir. 29 Pattern-B gates now build `ww build --sep -o <stem>`
and read <stem>.sepwork/__root.s (multi-package gates concat all
<stem>.sepwork/*.s, since cross-package labels live in per-package .s).
All intermediates redirect to /tmp (WW_PKGCACHE + -o), so the corpus runs
parallel-safe with no source-tree pollution. Tests pass now (--sep is live)
and survive the flip.
915 additionally retargeted off strconv's PRIVATE left_shift_table (a let,
not export) — which separate compilation correctly hides — onto a test-local
package that exports its own probe table (#96). The combined path only linked
it via a single-unit private leak; encapsulation is now honored under sep.
Test-only; all 5 *_ww binaries HOLD. 989_m1mangle_run deferred (blocked by
#99, imported-package fn main mangling under sep).
Plan 9-style w-prefix on the per-arch tools, disambiguating from the
real Plan 9 6c/6a/6l in ref/plan9front/:
cmd/wwc/ → cmd/wcc/ libwwc.a → libwcc.a
cmd/6{c,a,l} → cmd/w6{c,a,l} binary names too
test/wwc/ → test/wcc/ 6 test files w/ w6 prefix
selfhost/cmd mirror in lockstep
bootstrap/amd64/{w6c,w6a,w6l} snapshot binaries (gitignored)
WW_6{C,A,L} → WW_W6{C,A,L} env-var overrides
Plan 9 source-tree refs ("Plan 9 6c shape", ref/plan9front/, etc.)
preserved. Hare-style driver, both C and ww sides:
ww test [path] discover *_test.ww in a directory module, run
each; single-file mode for `ww test foo.ww`
Module-by-name `ww build foo` resolves to foo.ww or foo/foo.ww
via search path (cwd : -I dirs : $WW_LIB)
Default-to-cwd `ww build` / `ww test` build the cwd module
Run pass-through `ww run path arg1 arg2` reaches the program
lib/os: getcwd (79) and getdents64 (217) syscalls power `.` resolution
and directory enumeration on the ww side.
Makefile: wwstage tool deps now include lib/os/os.ww (+ lib/strconv
for wwdump_ww) so lib/* edits force their rebuild instead of leaving
stale binaries — surfaced when test 995 first failed against a stale
w6c_ww built before the lib/os additions.
Test 993 byte-identical parity gate (C-side ww vs ww-side ww_ww on a
build corpus) stays green; all 19 tests pass.
