- ludic-fmt: `rows[i]`, `new []int`, `s[a..b]`, `emit(`, `~x`, list-literal
and query-tag braces stay tight; member calls hug their paren
(`Date.new(`, `Prefab.spawn(`); `<< >> & | ^ ~` are operators and
`&& ||` are not — mirrored in ludic_syntax.h, LudicLexer.kt and the
TextMate grammar. 149 of 274 tracked sources failed --check before.
- ludic-lsp: `initializationOptions.compilerDiagnostics` / `compilerPath`
are honoured — on save the document's compilation unit is compiled and
`file:line: error: msg` is published as a "ludicc" diagnostic (the
option had been documented but never implemented); the workspace scan
file is per process; bracket codes spelled as char literals
- Overlay added to LUDIC_PHASES, LudicTokens.kt, ludic-mode.el and the
grammar (the game uses it; check-vocabulary flagged the drift)
- editors: VS Code snippets/package.json/extension.js (`${workspaceFolder}`
and `~` expansion, PATH lookup, Apache-2.0, real repo URL), Neovim root
markers, Helix/Zed/Sublime bin/ paths, Emacs vocabulary, JetBrains
comments; tools/editors/README.md no longer describes C tooling
- .forgejo workflows clone `${{ github.server_url }}/${{ github.repository }}`
so a fork or mirror tests itself; the docs publish pushes the same way

Closes the two open issues and lands the pending unreleased batch:
- #90: `Sprite { atlas: 1 }` routes esys_sprite through atlas_draw_ex
(scale/flip/tint), so cell / cell_span / strip ids of any size draw
through the engine sprite-render system. examples/library/sprite_atlas
is the pixel-readback regression.
- #91: `become` from an @On(Event) listener / global handler / plain
function no longer segfaults the compiler; it emits @L_scene_leave()
(a dispatch on the live scene id) so the leaving scene's on-exit runs.
UI_* handles are readable from any code (widget table built on first
use). examples/library/scene_menus covers it.
- fix: a windowed `ludicc -o` build that reaches the audio runtime only
through the atlas/Assets preload import now links audio.ll +
AVFoundation (the audio backend link was gated on a game-level
Audio.* call, so any windowed game declaring Sprite failed to link).
- the hand-written "Unreleased" CHANGELOG section is converted to
changesets under changes/ so `x release` generates it.
- plus the batch: engine-driven retained UI + UiClicked event, Overlay
phase, TileSkin tilemap-render system, Key.* constants, Font/Ui/File
namespaces, Sprite.strip, prefabs, managers, countdown fields,
enum-typed machines, layer @Queries, ludic.prefs / ludic.dungeon
packages, Ai.seek pathing, Solids.solid2, cursor confine (mode 3)
fix, shooter centre-aim fix, reserved-word function diagnostic.
Verified: x test (124/124), x test-tools, check-impl, check-vocabulary,
check-docs, docs-gen + docs-check, bootstrap-cfree (seed is a fixpoint).

Phase 1 of the fuller type-system proposal: two by-value spatial types
that lower to packed integers (no heap, copy like scalars).
- IVec2 — integer 2D vector, a pair of int packed into one i64, for tile
and grid coordinates: make/zero/x/y/add/sub/scale/dot, the grid distance
manhattan, equal, and to_vector (widen into the fixed-point Vector).
- Rect — axis-aligned rectangle, four Q16.16 fixed components packed into
one i128, for HUD boxes and hitboxes: make/x/y/w/h, the derived
right/bottom/center, and the contains (point) / intersects (overlap) tests.
Both are exact and deterministic, bit-identical on every platform. Vector
and Color already cover phase 1's other 2D primitives.
Wired end to end: emit_core llty (IVec2->i64, Rect->i128), emit_call
dispatch, the FRAGS list + reseeded seed, a selfhost test (types2d),
per-symbol docs + type pages + inventory, and the vocabulary/editor sync
(header, JetBrains, TextMate, LSP).

Split the flat 38-file selfhost/ into concern-based subdirectories:
frontend/ lex, parse, parse_game, ast
support/ str, buf, io
backend/ core IR + expression/statement lowering
backend/game/ ECS/scene/event/world lowering
backend/stdlib/ the namespaced Math.*/Text.*/Crypto.*/… intrinsics
and split the three oversized emitters at responsibility boundaries so
no file mixes concerns:
emit_game.ludic -> + emit_world.ludic (reflection world table,
tick helpers, @main synthesis)
emit_expr.ludic -> + emit_call.ludic (namespaced builtins, call
lowering, expr dispatch)
emit_text.ludic -> + emit_text_prelude.ludic (emitted string-builder runtime)
FRAGS in tools/x/selfhost.ludic is updated to the new paths with the link
order preserved, and the Python doc/vocabulary tooling is updated to walk
the new layout. Because the build is a plain in-order concatenation and
every split lands on a blank-line boundary, the regenerated seed is
byte-identical: `x reseed` leaves selfhost/ludicc.seed.ll unchanged,
`x bootstrap-cfree` still reaches its fixed point, and both `x test` (56)
and `x selfhost-test` (29, incl. golden renders) stay green.
Closes#29

`System.*` and the newer `Os.*` (added in #21) both covered the environment
around the game, with four members (`arg`, `arg_count`, `env`, `exit`) lowering
byte-for-byte identically and the standard streams overlapping in concern. That
is a user-facing ambiguity (`System.env` vs `Os.env` are indistinguishable) and
a drift hazard (two copy-pasted codegen paths).
Make `Os.*` the single canonical environment/process namespace and retire the
overlapping `System.*` members:
- Remove `System.{arg, arg_count, env, exit, stdout, stderr}` from the namespace
dispatch (selfhost/emit_expr.ludic). Use `Os.arg`/`Os.arg_count`/`Os.env`/
`Os.exit` and `Os.stdout_write`/`Os.stderr_write` instead.
- `System.*` now covers only its unique low-level surface: the raw file handles
(`file_open/read/write/seek/tell/close`), `read_char`, and `run`.
- The bare `arg`/`exit`/`getenv`/`file_stdout`/`file_stderr` intrinsics stay —
they are the primitive layer the self-hosted compiler itself uses; only the
redundant *namespaced* sugar is gone.
- Docs: drop the six retired `docs/language/system/*` pages, retune the section
blurb, update inventory.json and the LSP signature table.
- Secondary finding from the issue: cross-link `Text.upper`/`Text.lower`
(ASCII-only) to `Unicode.upper`/`Unicode.lower` (full Unicode case mapping).
Reseeded; C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds. All suites green (56 test / 29
selfhost / 29 test-tools); docs cover every implemented feature (291 ns-methods).

Finish issue #9 by adding the two remaining acceptance items on top of the
calendar/clock core, still pure-integer and deterministic:
DateTime.format(dt, pattern) -> string render an instant via a token
pattern (YYYY/YY/MM/DD/HH/mm/ss;
other chars pass through)
DateTime.parse(text, pattern) -> int read an instant back; -1 on a
non-digit where one is expected
Clock.now/set/advance/reset a game-controlled simulated clock
(the @L_clock global) that never
touches the wall clock, so gameplay
reading Clock.now() is replay-safe
format/parse take a string-LITERAL pattern and are expanded at compile time
(field offsets are then constant), folding @fn_str_concat over literal runs and
two small runtime helpers: @fn_dt_pad0 (zero-padded field) and @fn_dt_rd
(fixed-width digit reader that stops at the terminator and flags malformed
input). Clock is a universal i32 global declared in emit_head, so it works in
entry and game programs alike.
Adds examples/offline_rewards.ludic — the issue's worked "you were away N hours"
example, driven from its own entry and asserted in the regression suite — plus
selfhost/tests/datetime2.ludic (format/parse round-trip, parse failure, clock),
docs (Clock section + 4 pages, DateTime.format/parse pages), inventory and LSP
hover. Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (27 self-host / 46
regression / 29 tools); check.py (366 symbols), check-impl.py (218 ns-methods)
and validate.py OK.
With this, #9's scope is fully delivered: DateTime/Date/Duration + core ops,
format/parse, a deterministic simulated clock, docs + offline-rewards example,
and tests. (v1 stays UTC-only, no leap seconds, i32 epoch valid through 2038.)

Implement the calendar/clock half of #9 as plain-i32 integer epochs — no
new type, no floating point (the issue's "integer epochs to avoid drift") —
so every operation is deterministic and bit-identical on every platform:
Duration — a span in whole seconds; seconds/minutes/hours/days build one,
as_seconds/as_minutes/as_hours/as_days read it back. Because a
duration is just an int, `+` and `>` work with no extra machinery
(Duration.minutes(5) + Duration.seconds(30), away > Duration.hours(3)).
Date — a civil day as days-since-1970 (UTC): new/year/month/day/weekday/
is_leap/days_in_month/to_epoch/add_days/diff_days.
DateTime — an instant as seconds-since-1970 (UTC, matching Time.now):
from/date/add/year/month/day/weekday/hour/minute/second.
Time.since(past) = now - past, for offline-progress / "time away" checks.
New selfhost/emit_datetime.ludic (is_/emit_ for the three namespaces, wired
into emit_ns_call + the frag list). The two civil<->epoch conversions are
Howard Hinnant's public-domain proleptic-Gregorian algorithms, emitted once
per program as the @fn_days_from_civil / @fn_civil_from_days prelude and gated
by g_uses_datert; days_in_month is next-month-day-0 (no lookup table). Time
gains `since`. Docs (Duration/Date/DateTime sections, 28 method pages +
time-since), inventory, and LSP hover kept in sync; a registered test checks
component math against hand-computed values. Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds;
all suites green (26 self-host / 45 regression / 29 tools); check.py,
check-impl.py and validate.py OK.
format/parse, a game-controlled simulated clock, and timezones are tracked
follow-ups; v1 is UTC-only and, on the i32 epoch, valid through 2038.

Implement the Vec.* half of #25 under the proper (de-abbreviated) name
Vector, unblocking it with a self-contained value type instead of waiting
on the full #1 type system.
A Vector is two Q16.16 fixed components (x, y) packed into one i64 — a true
by-value type that lives in a register and never allocates (reuses the new
`long`/i64 support; llty maps `Vector` to i64). Fifteen operations, all
deterministic fixed-point reusing fx_mul/fx_div/fx_lerp and the @fn_fx_*
prelude: make/zero/x/y, add/sub/scale/dot, length/distance/normalize/lerp,
rotate/angle/from_angle.
New selfhost/emit_vector.ludic (wired into emit_ns_call + the frag list),
the `Vector` primitive type in llty and the grammars/LSP/JetBrains tokens,
docs (type-vector + 15 Vector.* pages + section), and a registered test.
Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/25/29); site + check.py OK.

De-abbreviate the two bare fixed-point conversion builtins:
flr(f) -> int -> floor(f) -> int (fixed -> int, flooring)
fx(i) -> fixed -> fixed(i) -> fixed (int -> fixed; mirrors how the
stringify builtin is `string`)
Updates the compiler dispatch, all call sites, the grammars/LSP/JetBrains
tokens, and the docs (fn-flr -> fn-floor, fn-fx -> fn-fixed). Reseeded;
C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

Expand the abbreviated pointer types to full words on the language surface:
ptr -> pointer (a raw address / FFI handle)
ptrs -> pointers (a buffer of pointers)
The Ludic type name is distinct from LLVM's own `ptr` spelling: llty() maps
`pointer`/`pointers` to LLVM `ptr`, and the emitted IR keeps `ptr`, so only
the Ludic-level surface changes. Rewrites type annotations across all
sources, the 8 hardcoded pointer type-tags, the `pointers`-buffer indexing
in emit_addr, the grammars/LSP/JetBrains tokens, and the docs
(type-ptr -> type-pointer, type-ptrs -> type-pointers). int/bool keep their
conventional short spelling (like Math).
Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK.

Expand the abbreviated string type and its conversion builtin to the full
word everywhere:
str -> string (the immutable-string type)
str(x) -> str -> string(x) -> string (the stringify builtin;
what `{…}` interpolation calls)
Types are recognized by identifier, and llty maps both spellings to LLVM
`ptr`, so this is an atomic source rewrite: type annotations, the Ludic
type tags, the builtin name/dispatch, and the interpolation desugar, plus
the grammars, LSP, docs (type-str -> type-string, fn-str -> fn-string), and
inventory. int/bool stay (universally accepted, like Math).

Expand the function-declaration keyword to the full word across the whole
language and toolchain:
fn name(...) -> T { ... } -> function name(...) -> T { ... }
Done as a self-hosting migration: teach the parser both spellings, reseed,
rewrite every .ludic definition to `function`, then drop `fn`. The compiler
now rejects `fn`. Touches the parser, all selfhost/tools/runtime/example/test
sources, the grammars (TextMate shared+vscode, ludic_syntax.h, JetBrains
LudicTokens.kt), the LSP and formatter, the Python doc/vocab tools
(check-impl, check-docs, validate, palette, test-lsp), and the docs
(fences, prose, kw-fn -> kw-function).
Reseeded; C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds. All suites green (45 regression,
24 self-host, 29 tool); the docs site generates and check.py passes.

Expand the abbreviated public namespaces to full words, part of the
language-wide de-abbreviation pass:
Mem -> Memory, Sys -> System, Net -> Network, Collide -> Collision
Math stays (universally accepted, like int/bool). Renames the dispatch
strings, LSP signatures, docs (dirs, files, frontmatter), and the
inventory manifest; behavior is byte-identical (the bare rt_ targets are
unchanged). Reseeded; C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds; all suites green.

Implement the bulk of the namespaced-stdlib proposal (workshopsoft/ludic#2):
156 namespace methods across Math, Text, List, Ease, Collide, World, Net,
Sys, Save, Mem, extended Screen, Color functions, extended Random, and Time.
All deterministic fixed-point; self-hosting (C-free bootstrap fixpoint holds).
Compiler (selfhost/):
- Math.*: sqrt/sin/cos/tan/atan2/asin/acos (fixed-point runtime prelude —
bit-by-bit isqrt, 256-entry interpolated sine table, Ross atan2), plus
hypot/dist/dist2/deg_to_rad/rad_to_deg/posmod/wrap/ping_pong/snapped/
move_toward/smoothstep/lerp/remap/sign/floor/ceil/round.
- Text.* (complete): upper/lower/trim/repeat/pad, split/join/replace,
and the libc-backed queries.
- List.* (complete): insert/remove_at/remove/sort plus the earlier ops.
- Ease.* (in/out/in_out/back/bounce) and Collide.* (rects/point_rect/
circles/rect_circle).
- Phase 3: World/Net/Sys/Save namespaced over the bare builtins (byte-
identical IR) and Mem.* (bytes/words/copy/fill/peek/poke).
- Screen.* extended (line/circle/fill_circle/triangle/fill_triangle via new
runtime primitives; sprite/sprite_scaled aliases), Color.* functions,
Random.* (value/int/sign), Time.* (frame/delta/elapsed/now — new
game-loop frame counter).
- Fix a lexer bug: fixed-point literals with >4 fractional digits overflowed.
Docs & tooling:
- 129 new per-symbol doc pages; gen.py made data-driven (namespaces
discovered from the docs, no hardcoded list); new check-impl.py enforces
that every implemented namespace method / keyword / type / phase has a
doc page, wired into `x test-tools`. Document the previously-undocumented
keywords (break/continue/where/entry/new/public + and/or/not tokens).
- LSP: namespaced signature help (ns_method_sig) covering every namespace.
Tests: 12 new self-host/regression tests + a golden render for the drawing
primitives. All suites green (selfhost 21, regression 45, tools 29).

Implement the rest of NETWORKING-DESIGN.md (N2–N6) and eliminate every
`.c` file from the repo. clang remains only the LLVM-IR assembler; no C
is compiled anywhere.
Networking (selfhost/emit_net.ludic + parser/emit changes):
- N2 @Sync: per-model serialize/apply + by-kind dispatchers; POD-scalar
compile error and empty-participation warning; selective replication.
- N3 @Owned: @L_owner array + owner/set_owner/is_owner; owners snapshot.
- N4 @ToServer/@ToClients remote events: framed net_send + net_pump re-emit.
- N5 @Server/@Predicted role guards + drivable sim (tick_fixed/tick_render,
entry-owns-the-loop).
- Built-in loopback transport so multiplayer runs with zero foreign code;
extern fn net_send/net_poll still overrides it for a real socket.
- N6 blessed runtime (examples/net_rt.ludic) + end-to-end demo (net_demo).
- Fix: llty("entity") is now i32 (entities are i32 handles), so let e = self().
C elimination:
- Networking + foreign-mod-ABI tests rewritten as self-contained pure-Ludic
programs (examples/net_*, world_*, mod_events, scoped); tests/ removed.
- Reflection ABI exposed to Ludic as world_* builtins (Ludic-to-Ludic modding).
- Formatter rewritten C→Ludic: tools/ludic-tools/fmt.ludic.
- Language server rewritten C→Ludic: tools/ludic-tools/lsp.ludic (lexer, index
parser, cross-file workspace resolver, JSON, all LSP handlers).
- Obsolete migrate_*.c codemods deleted; ludic_syntax.h kept as vocabulary data.
Suites: ./test.sh 44/44, ./tools/test-tools.sh 28/28 (LSP 42/42), fixpoint holds.
