Follow-up to #31: the doc/lint/grammar checks moved to Ludic there; this ports
the remaining docgen piece (gen.py / check.py / palette.py) so nothing in the
documentation pipeline is Python any more.
Three new `x` subcommands, all in Ludic and compiled by Ludic:
- x docs-gen [--out DIR] the static-site generator: parses docs/language/**
front-matter + bodies (fences, Parameters:), builds the section/symbol
model, reads the asset templates, and emits every page + ns/color/api pages
+ the landing page + ludic-highlight.js + symbols.json + .nojekyll.
- x docs-check [DIR] the coverage / integrity guard (required files, a
page per inventory.json symbol, duplicate-token and one-dir-per-namespace
guards, highlighter link targets).
- x docs-palette the named-colour source of truth: the palette table
moved into tools/x/docgen.ludic, emitting emit_color.ludic (pointer, not
ptr) + palette.json.
Verified against the Python oracle: `x docs-gen` reproduces all 466 output files
BYTE-FOR-BYTE (a Ludic json.dumps/html.escape/front-matter port — ordered dicts,
indent=2 vs compact, ensure_ascii \uXXXX, codepoint-aware truncation), and
`x docs-check` matches check.py's pass/fail output. Wired into `x test` as a
gate (docs-gen -> docs-check on a fresh site; docs-palette stays byte-identical).
CI swap: ci.yml and docs.yml call the Ludic generator; docs.yml drops the
python:3.12 container and bootstraps the toolchain from the IR seed instead.
tools/docgen/{gen,check,palette}.py deleted; only assets/ + inventory.json
remain. Completes #31's criterion 3.

Replace the Python doc/lint/vocabulary guards with Ludic equivalents that
run through the `x` task runner, so the checks need no Python interpreter:
x check-docs every ```ludic doc fence parses (or is marked)
x check-impl every implemented feature has a docs/language page
x check-vocabulary vocabulary in sync across grammar / lexer / header / parser
x lint-asset <file> validate one editor .json / .xml asset
New fragments: tools/x/json.ludic (a small JSON reader — objects/arrays/
strings with \uXXXX + surrogates/numbers/literals, used by the vocabulary
check's grammar navigation and the asset validator) and tools/x/checks.ludic
(the checks + string helpers + a minimal XML well-formedness validator).
`x test-tools` now runs the vocabulary + docs-coverage checks and the
JSON/XML asset validation through Ludic instead of python3; ci.yml's
docs-coverage step calls `x check-impl` / `x check-vocabulary`. Each port was
verified against its former Python script for exact verdict parity on the
clean tree and on injected drift (a removed keyword, a broken grammar
alternation, an undocumented method).
Deletes the superseded scripts: tools/check-vocabulary.py, tools/check-docs.py,
tools/docgen/check-impl.py, tools/docgen/validate.py. The docgen site
generator (gen.py/check.py/palette.py) and the LSP protocol driver
(test-lsp.py) remain and are tracked separately.
Toolchain unchanged (seed byte-identical); `x test` (56) and `x test-tools`
(29) stay green.
Part of #31
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The project had no versioning discipline: 0 tags, no CHANGELOG, no way for the
compiler to report a version. Add a lightweight, native release flow.
- Versioning: SemVer, with VERSION as the single source of truth. `ludicc
--version` (and `ludic --version`) read it at runtime — so a bump touches one
file and never reseeds the compiler. `x version` reports it too.
- Changesets: one small Markdown file per user-facing change under changes/
(bump level + type + summary; see changes/README.md). This replaces "remember
to edit the changelog" with a mergeable artifact, no Node changeset tool.
- `x release [major|minor|patch] [--publish]`: fold the pending changesets into a
new CHANGELOG.md section (grouped by type), bump VERSION, commit, and tag
vX.Y.Z. The level defaults to the highest changeset bump. `--publish` also
pushes and creates the Forgejo release with source + toolchain tarballs;
tools/ci/forgejo_release.py is the small stdlib-Python HTTP glue for the
release API (a native Http client is issue #6).
Seed the initial changesets describing the shipped surface; the first `x release`
turns them into the v0.1.0 CHANGELOG. Reseeded for the --version flag; C-free
bootstrap fixpoint holds; suites 56 / 29 / 29 on macOS, 51 / 28 (+skips) on Linux
CI, bootstrap-cfree byte-identical on both.
Part of the repository-cleanup / DX pass (with #32, #34).

Repository-cleanup / DX pass folding three tracker items into one coherent
change, verified green end to end (`bin/x test` 49/0, `bin/x selfhost-test`
29/0, `bin/x test-tools` 29/0).
#28 — curate & categorise examples/
- 42 flat entries regrouped into intent-revealing subdirs: games/, rendering/,
ecs/, events/, networking/, lang/, library/ (was lib/).
- chronorift dir-vs-file duplication resolved: the entry file and its import
modules now live together under games/chronorift(.ludic).
- Every path reference updated repo-wide (test runner, editor-tool drivers,
docs/site, design docs).
- New examples/README.md indexes the whole set with run commands.
- Showcase examples without a self-asserting entry (hello, events, net_rt) now
get a compile-only rot guard in `bin/x test`, so nothing here rots silently.
#30 — text-diffable golden baseline
- The 4 binary selfhost/golden/*.ppm blobs are replaced by a single
selfhost/golden/renders.sha256 manifest (SHA-256 per render). Hashes are
byte-identical to the old PPMs, so the baseline is unchanged — only its form.
- game_case now compares framebuffer hashes; a regression shows as a changed
hex line in review, not "binary files differ".
- New `bin/x golden` regenerates the manifest deliberately (review with
`git diff selfhost/golden/renders.sha256`).
#27 — PPM & asset handling
- Headless renders now write build/out.ppm, never the repo root; `x app`,
`x clean`, messaging and .gitignore updated to match. Nothing is written to
the working root any more.
- Redundant local Kenney .zip archives removed (the art ships extracted;
.gitignore already excludes *.zip). CC0 License.txt files retained.

Repository hygiene pass (issue #39):
- Add `.editorconfig` mirroring ludic-fmt: 2-space indent, LF, UTF-8, trim
trailing whitespace and final newline by default; 4-space for Python
tooling; keep trailing whitespace in Markdown (hard line breaks).
- Reconcile `.gitignore`: root-anchor `/build/` and `/out.ppm`, normalise the
misleading `**.zip` glob to `*.zip`, and document that the Kenney art is
tracked *extracted* while the download/plugin zips are local-only. `.idea`
-> `.idea/`.
- Add a `bin/x clean` command that removes `build/`, the root `out.ppm`, and
stray `bin/*.tmp`, keeping the toolchain binaries so the running `x`
survives.
No generated artifacts land outside build/ or bin/, both of which are ignored.
Closes#39

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 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.

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).
