agra ded106333b docs(design): execution-model roadmap + reify implementation stream
Add the async-first execution-model roadmap (comptime JIT spine, colorblind
fibers/Io, atomics, hot-reload) with all seven decisions resolved and
three-way reviewed, and carve the first stream: comptime type_info/reify
(PLAN-REIFY + checkpoint) — the codebase-validated foundation for channel
result types and race's synthesized tagged union.

CHECKPOINT-REIFY — comptime type_info / reify (async-first foundation, step 3)

Companion to PLAN-REIFY.md. Update after every step (one step at a time, per the cadence rule).

Last completed step

None — stream just carved. Design validated (3 codebase reviewers; all five reify contracts confirmed feasible). No code written yet.

Current state

  • The plan + the five locked contracts exist in PLAN-REIFY.md; design-of-record is design/execution-evolution-roadmap.md §7 step 3 + §8.1.
  • Nothing built. reify/type_info/field_type do not exist in the compiler.
  • Confirmed against the source (anchors in the plan): type minting via intern/internNominal is programmatic and AST-free; type-fns memoize by mangled name; enum codegen is fully type-table-driven (zero AST coupling); recursive forward-declaration (reserve→complete) already exists for source types.

Next step

Phase 0.0 (lock): add TypeInfo/EnumInfo/EnumVariant data types + bodyless #builtin decls for reify/type_info/field_type to library/modules/std/core.sx (parsed, unimplemented → loud bail), with a unit test that the decls parse. Then 0.1 (xfail: examples/06xx-comptime-reify-enum.sx) → 0.2 (green: implement reify(.enum_)).

Known issues

None yet.

Log

  • Stream carved. Selected as the first async-first foundation: reify gates both channel result types (RecvResult($T)) and race's synthesized union, is fully validated (3 reviewers), and is a self-contained compiler/type-system feature testable in isolation (06xx comptime). Generic-enum syntax dropped in its favor.
