Step 1 of the GC effort. Each tier loader now exposes heapStats():
- asm-wasm — lumbda_heap_used / lumbda_heap_total wat exports
- c-wasm — emscripten linear memory size (no free path right now,
so used = total; documented in the loader)
- python — pyodide module linear memory size; CPython GC cycles
this naturally
Worker handles a "heap" message kind that round-trips the active tab's
loaded tiers; repl tabbar shows a compact "py 12M · c 32M · asm 4M"
strip next to the buttons. Polls every 2s.
Doesn't solve the leak — just makes pressure visible so the user knows
when to use "reboot tier". Real GC (Cheney over the WAT bump allocator,
Boehm-em or custom mark-sweep for c-wasm) coming next.
New: wasm/tests/parity-cross-tier.mjs runs the parity-corpus.mjs (216
test cases tagged by whitepaper section / R7RS concept) against three
tiers — native python (reference), c-wasm, asm-wasm — and fails on any
unknown divergence. Known gaps live in KNOWN_DIVERGE so the table stays
green while the bignum / call/cc / etc. work proceeds.
Wired into `make wasm-test` so a regression against any spec claim gets
caught before merge.
Bugs caught and fixed:
- python remainder: was `signed_a % signed_b * sign(a)`, which double-
applied the sign of a (python's % floors) — gave -3 for (-17, 5)
instead of the R7RS-correct -2. Now uses abs() on both sides.
- asm-wasm modulo: was i32.rem_s (truncated, remainder semantics)
where R7RS modulo wants sign of divisor. Added the "if rem and
divisor disagree on sign, add divisor" branch.
Cross-tier numbers after fix:
216 passing
3 known diverge: expt-2-100, expt-3-50, big-arith — all asm-wasm
(no bignums on the asm tier yet; whitepaper §2.1 claim still open)
0 fail
REPL layout: body is now the scroll container, prompt-bar is
position:fixed at the viewport bottom so it doesn't get pushed off
screen by a long transcript. Empty space above the prompt on a fresh
session reads like a terminal.
All other tests still pass: 20 unit, 8 integration, 11 functional.
WASM tail-call instruction wired into every tail position:
if branches, eval_begin last expression, all special-form dispatchers
(cond/when/unless/case/let/let*/letrec/begin/and/or), function
application's $apply, and apply's closure-body $eval_begin.
wat2wasm + wasm-validate now use --enable-tail-call.
Reader fixes:
- Dotted pair syntax: (a b . rest) parses as a real dotted list.
Without this, variadic params and other dotted-cdr forms parsed
as 4-element proper lists.
- Stray ) at top level advances source_ptr instead of spinning
forever. Found via bisection of functional.lsp under TCO.
- eval_args guards against non-pair tails so a misplaced dotted
argument (e.g. an unexpanded macro template) can't deref garbage.
Cross-tier numbers (wasm-test-functional-cross):
before: 93/111 reached, stack overflow on (ack 3 4)
now: progresses through the full TCO section, deep let, named-let
to 100k, mutual recursion to 200k. Still climbing.
Bend gpu demo:
6th playground option ("bend (gpu dispatch) ⚡") ships a SHAKE256
fan-out at 1M inputs via (bend!-call ...). Run button is GUARDED:
if no bend URL is configured, refuses with
"set a bend URL first — this demo is GPU-only by design".
Protects customer machines from burning minutes on a workload the
local tiers cannot finish in reasonable time.
- bend URL and vault password now share a single config-bar row, split
via a 2-column grid (1fr 1fr). Vault still hidden when free-form
isn't selected; just collapses its column.
- Every flexbox removed. Every multi-child container uses CSS grid:
.controls, .config-bar, .bend-bar, .vault-bar, .panes, .pane,
.brand, .tabbar, .tabs, .tab, .transcript, .entry, .tier-output,
.prompt-bar, .lock-screen, .lock-card, .lock-row.
- Added `[hidden] { display: none !important; }` so the ephemeral
button on the REPL lock screen actually hides the modal. Without
this, .lock-screen's `display: grid` overrode the hidden attribute's
UA-default display: none.
Interactive REPL at lumbda.com/repl with:
- multi-tab sessions (click + to add, × to close, double-click to rename)
- per-tab tier selector (python/c/asm/all-three race)
- persistent transcripts encrypted in localStorage via Web Crypto
(PBKDF2 + AES-GCM, vault id = SHA-256(password || device-salt) —
same pattern as unsandbox's vault-encryption-design.md, native
crypto.subtle API instead of CryptoJS)
- ephemeral mode (skip vault, transcripts vanish on reload)
- one worker per (tab × tier) — state persists across evals in a tab
- reboot tier button (terminate this tab's worker, fresh state next eval)
- cancel button (kills the running worker in active tab)
Home page now links to both /playground/ and /repl/.
Tier state itself does NOT persist across reloads — the transcript does,
but defines/set!/hash-tables vanish with the worker. Portal save/resume
in WAT (deferred) will let a tier session survive close+reopen.
