-## Project Overview
-This is a game engine developed using a QuickJS fork as its scripting language. It is an actor based system, based on Douglas Crockford's Misty. It is a Meson compiled project with a number of dependencies.
-
-## File Structure
-- `source/`: Contains the C source code
-- `scripts/`: Contains script code that is loaded on executable start, and modules
-- `shaders/`: Contains shaders that ship with the engine (for shader based backends)
-- `benchmarks/`: Benchmark programs for testing speed
-- `tests/`: Unit tests
-- `examples/`: Contains full game examples
-
-## Coding Practices
-- Use K&R style C
-- Use as little whitespace as possible
-- Javascript style prefers objects and prototypical inheritence over ES6 classes, liberal use of closures, and var everywhere
-
-## Instructions
-- When generating code, adhere to the coding practices outlined above.
-- When adding new features, ensure they align with the project's goals.
-- When fixing bugs, review the code carefully before making changes.
-- When writing unit tests, cover all important scenarios.
-
-## Compiling, running, and testing
-- To compile the code, run "make", which generates a prosperon executable in build_dbg/, and copy it into the root folder
-- Run a test by giving it as its command: so ./prosperon tests/overling.js would run the test overling.js, ./prosperon tests/nota.js runs the nota benchmark

-# CLAUDE.md
+# ƿit (pit) Language Project
 
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+## Building
 
-## Build Commands
+Build (or rebuild after changes): `make`
+Install to system: `make install`
+Run `cell --help` to see all CLI flags.
 
-### Build variants
-- `make` - Make and install debug version. Usually all that's needed.
-- `make fast` - Build optimized version  
-- `make release` - Build release version with LTO and optimizations
-- `make small` - Build minimal size version
-- `make web` - Build for web/emscripten platform
-- `make crosswin` - Cross-compile for Windows using mingw32
+## Code Style
 
-### Testing
-After install with 'make', just run 'cell' and point it at the actor you want to launch. "cell tests/toml" runs the actor "tests/toml.js"
+All code uses 2 spaces for indentation. K&R style for C and Javascript.
 
-## Scripting language
-This is called "cell", but it is is a variant of javascript and extremely similar.
+## ƿit Script Quick Reference
 
-### Common development commands
-- `meson setup build_<variant>` - Configure build directory
-- `meson compile -C build_<variant>` - Compile in build directory
-- `./build_dbg/prosperon examples/<example>` - Run example from build directory
-- Copy prosperon to game directory and run: `cp build_dbg/prosperon <game-dir>/ && cd <game-dir> && ./prosperon`
+ƿit script files: `.ce` (actors) and `.cm` (modules). The syntax is similar to JavaScript with important differences listed below.
 
-## Architecture Overview
+### Key Differences from JavaScript
 
-Prosperon is an actor-based game engine inspired by Douglas Crockford's Misty system. Key architectural principles:
+- `var` (mutable) and `def` (constant) — no `let` or `const`
+- `==` and `!=` are strict (no `===` or `!==`)
+- No `undefined` — only `null`
+- No classes — only objects and prototypes (`meme()`, `proto()`, `isa()`)
+- No `switch`/`case` — use record dispatch (a record keyed by case, values are functions or results) instead of if/else chains
+- No `for...in`, `for...of`, spread (`...`), rest params, or default params
+- Functions have a maximum of 4 parameters — use a record for more
+- Variables must be declared at function body level only (not in if/while/for/blocks)
+- All variables must be initialized at declaration (`var x` alone is an error; use `var x = null`)
+- No `try`/`catch`/`throw` — use `disrupt`/`disruption`
+- No arraybuffers — only `blob` (works with bits; must `stone(blob)` before reading)
+- Identifiers can contain `?` and `!` (e.g., `nil?`, `set!`, `is?valid`)
+- Prefer backticks for string interpolation; otherwise use `text()` to convert non-strings
+- Everything should be lowercase
+
+### Intrinsic Functions (always available, no `use()` needed)
+
+The creator functions are **polymorphic** — behavior depends on argument types:
+
+- `array(number)` — create array of size N filled with null
+- `array(number, value_or_fn)` — create array with initial values
+- `array(array)` — copy array
+- `array(array, fn)` — map
+- `array(array, array)` — concatenate

 ### Actor Model
-- Each actor runs on its own thread
-- Communication only through message passing (no shared JavaScript objects)
-- Hierarchical actor system with spawning/killing
-- Actor lifecycle: awake, update, draw, garbage collection
 
-### JavaScript Style Guide
-- Use `use()` function for imports (Misty-style, not ES6 import/export)
-- Prefer closures and javascript objects and prototypes over ES6 style classes
-- Follow existing JavaScript patterns in the codebase
-- Functions as first-class citizens
-- Do not use const or let; only var
+- `.ce` files are actors (independent execution units, don't return values)
+- `.cm` files are modules (return a value, cached and frozen)
+- Actors never share memory; communicate via `$send()` message passing
+- Actor intrinsics start with `$`: `$me`, `$stop()`, `$send()`, `$start()`, `$delay()`, `$receiver()`, `$clock()`, `$portal()`, `$contact()`, `$couple()`, `$unneeded()`, `$connection()`, `$time_limit()`

-## Development Tips
-
-### Running Games
-```bash
-# Build first
-make debug
-
-# Run example from build directory
-./build_dbg/prosperon examples/chess
-
-# Or copy to game directory
-cp build_dbg/prosperon examples/chess/
-cd examples/chess
-./prosperon
-```
-
-### Documentation
-- Documentation is found in docs
-- Documentation for the JS modules loaded with 'use' is docs/api/modules
-- .md files directly in docs gives a high level overview
-- docs/dull is what this specific Javascript system is (including alterations from quickjs/es6)
-
-### Shader Development
-- Shaders are in `shaders/` directory as HLSL
-- Compile script: `shaders/compile.sh`
-- Outputs to platform-specific formats: `dxil/`, `msl/`, `spv/`
-
-### Example Games
-Located in `examples/` directory:
-- `chess` - Chess implementation (has its own Makefile)
-- `pong` - Classic pong game
-- `snake` - Snake game
-- `tetris` - Tetris clone
-- `bunnymark` - Performance test
-
-### Testing
-```bash
-# Run all tests
-meson test -C build_dbg
-
-# Run specific test  
-./build_dbg/prosperon tests/spawn_actor.js
-```
-
-### Debugging
-- Use debug build: `make debug`
-- Tracy profiler support when enabled
-- Console logging available via `log.console()`, `log.error()`, etc.
-- Log files written to `.prosperon/log.txt`
-
-# Project Structure Notes
-
-## Core JavaScript Modules
-
-- JavaScript modules are defined using the MISTUSE macro in jsffi.c
-- The `js_os_funcs`, `js_io_funcs`, etc. arrays define the available functions for each module
-- New functions are added with MIST_FUNC_DEF(module, function, args_count)
-
-## File I/O
-
-- `io.slurp(path)` - Reads a file as text
-- `io.slurpbytes(path)` - Reads a file as an ArrayBuffer
-- `io.slurpwrite(path, data)` - Writes data (string or ArrayBuffer) to a file
-- `io.exists(path)` - Checks if a file exists
-
-## Script Loading
-
-- The `use(path)` function in engine.js loads JavaScript modules
-- Script loading happens in prosperon.c and the engine.js script
-- jsffi.c contains the C hooks for the QuickJS JavaScript engine
-- Added functionality for bytecode compilation and loading:
-  - `os.compile_bytecode(source, filename)` - Compiles JS to bytecode, returns ArrayBuffer
-  - `os.eval_bytecode(bytecode)` - Evaluates bytecode from an ArrayBuffer
-  - `compile(scriptPath)` - Compiles a JS file to a .jso bytecode file
-  - Modified `use()` to check for .jso files before loading .js files
-
-## QuickJS Bytecode API
-
-- `JS_Eval` with JS_EVAL_FLAG_COMPILE_ONLY - Compiles without executing
-- `JS_WriteObject` with JS_WRITE_OBJ_BYTECODE - Serializes to bytecode
-- `JS_ReadObject` with JS_READ_OBJ_BYTECODE - Deserializes and loads bytecode
-- Bytecode files use .jso extension alongside .js files
-

-## Game Development Patterns
-
-### Project Structure
-- Game config is typically in `config.js`
-- Main entry point is `main.js`
-- Resource loading through `resources.js`
-
-### Actor Pattern Usage
-- Create actors with `actor.spawn(script, config)`
-- Start actors with `$_.start(callback, script)` - the system automatically sends a greeting, callback receives {type: 'greet', actor: actor_ref}
-  - No need to manually send greetings - `$_.start` handles this automatically
-- Manage actor hierarchy with overlings and underlings
-- Schedule actor tasks with `$_.delay()` method
-- Clean up with `kill()` and `garbage()`
-
-### Actor Messaging with Callbacks
-When sending a message with a callback, respond by sending to the message itself:
-```javascript
-// Sender side:
-send(actor, {type: 'status'}, response => {
-  log.console(response); // Handle the response
-});
-
-// Receiver side:
-$_.receiver(msg => {
-  if (msg.type === 'status') {
-    send(msg, {status: 'ok'}); // Send response to the message itself
-  }
-});
-```
-
-**Critical Rules for Message Callbacks**: 
-- **A message can only be used ONCE as a send target** - after sending a response to a message, it cannot be used again
-- If you need to send multiple updates (like progress), only the download request message should be used for the final response
-- Status requests should each get their own individual response
-- Actor objects and message headers are completely opaque - never try to access internal properties
-- Never access `msg.__HEADER__` or similar - the actor system handles routing internally
-- Use `$_.delay()` to schedule work and avoid blocking the message receiver
-
-### Game Loop Registration
-- Register functions like `update`, `draw`, `gui`, etc.
-- Set function.layer property to control execution order
-- Use `Register` system to manage callbacks
-
-### Program vs Module Pattern
-- Programs are actor scripts that don't return values, they execute top-to-bottom
-- Modules are files that return single values (usually objects) that get frozen
-- Programs can spawn other programs as underlings
-- Programs have lifecycle hooks: awake, update, draw, garbage, etc.
-

-
-## Misty Networking Patterns
-
-Prosperon implements the Misty actor networking model. Understanding these patterns is critical for building distributed applications.
-
-### Portal Reply Pattern
-Portals must reply with an actor object, not application data:
-```javascript
-// CORRECT: Portal replies with actor
-$_.portal(e => {
-  send(e, $_);  // Reply with server actor
-}, 5678);
-
-// WRONG: Portal sends application data  
-$_.portal(e => {
-  send(e, {type: 'game_start'});  // This breaks the pattern
-}, 5678);
-```
-
-### Two-Phase Connection Protocol
-Proper Misty networking follows a two-phase pattern:
-
-**Phase 1: Actor Connection**
-- Client contacts portal using `$_.contact()`
-- Portal replies with an actor object
-- This establishes the communication channel
-
-**Phase 2: Application Communication**
-- Client sends application messages to the received actor
-- Normal bidirectional messaging begins
-- Application logic handles game/service initialization
-
-### Message Handling Best Practices
-Messages should be treated as opaque objects with your application data:
+### Error Handling
 
 ```javascript
-// CORRECT: Store actor references separately
-var players = {};
-$_.receiver(msg => {
-  if (msg.type === 'join_game' && msg.player_id) {
-    // Store the message for later response
-    players[msg.player_id] = msg;
-    // Later, respond to the stored message
-    send(players[msg.player_id], {type: 'game_start'});
-  }
-});
-
-// WRONG: Trying to access internal message properties
-$_.receiver(msg => {
-  var sender = msg.__HEADER__.replycc;  // Never do this!
-});
+var fn = function() {
+  disrupt  // bare keyword, no value
+} disruption {
+  // handle error; can re-raise with disrupt
+}
 ```
 
-### Return ID Lifecycle
-- Each reply callback gets a unique return ID
-- Return IDs are consumed once and then deleted
-- Reusing message objects with return headers causes "Could not find return function" errors
-- Always create clean actor references for ongoing communication
-
-### Actor Object Transparency
-Actor objects must be completely opaque black boxes that work identically regardless of transport:
+### Push/Pop Syntax
 
 ```javascript
-// Actor objects work transparently for:
-// - Same-process communication (fastest - uses mailbox)
-// - Inter-process communication (uses mailbox) 
-// - Network communication (uses ENet)
-
-// The actor shouldn't know or care about the transport mechanism
-send(opponent, {type: 'move', from: [0,0], to: [1,1]});
+var a = [1, 2]
+a[] = 3       // push: [1, 2, 3]
+var v = a[]   // pop: v is 3, a is [1, 2]
 ```
 
-**Key Implementation Details:**
-- `actor_send()` in `scripts/core/engine.js` handles routing based on available actor data
-- Actor objects sent in message data automatically get address/port populated when received over network
-- Three communication pathways: `os.mailbox_exist()` check → mailbox send → network send
-- Actor objects must contain all necessary routing information for transparent messaging
+## C Integration
 
-### Common Networking Bugs
-1. **Portal sending application data**: Portal should only establish actor connections
-2. **Return ID collision**: Reusing messages with return headers for multiple sends
-3. **Mixed phases**: Trying to do application logic during connection establishment
-4. **Header pollution**: Using received message objects as actor references
-5. **Missing actor address info**: Actor objects in message data need network address population (fixed in engine.js:746-766)
+- Declare everything `static` that can be
+- Most files don't have headers; files in a package are not shared between packages
+- No undefined in C API: use `JS_IsNull` and `JS_NULL` only
+- A C file with correct macros (`CELL_USE_FUNCS` etc) is loaded as a module by its name (e.g., `png.c` in a package → `use('<package>/png')`)
+- C symbol naming: `js_<pkg>_<file>_use` (e.g., `js_core_math_radians_use` for `core/math/radians`)
+- Core is the `core` package — its symbols follow the same `js_core_<name>_use` pattern as all other packages
+- Package directories should contain only source files (no `.mach`/`.mcode` alongside source)
+- Build cache files in `build/` are bare hashes (no extensions)
 
-### Example: Correct Chess Networking
-```javascript
-// Server: Portal setup
-$_.portal(e => {
-  send(e, $_);  // Just reply with actor
-}, 5678);
+### MANDATORY: GC Rooting for C Functions
 
-// Client: Two-phase connection
-$_.contact((actor, reason) => {
-  if (actor) {
-    opponent = actor;
-    send(opponent, {type: 'join_game'});  // Phase 2: app messaging
-  }
-}, {address: "localhost", port: 5678});
+This project uses a **copying garbage collector**. ANY JS allocation (`JS_NewObject`, `JS_NewString`, `JS_NewArray`, `JS_NewInt32`, `JS_SetPropertyStr`, `js_new_blob_stoned_copy`, etc.) can trigger GC, which **invalidates all unrooted JSValue locals**. This is not theoretical — it causes real crashes.
 
-// Server: Handle application messages
-$_.receiver(e => {
-  if (e.type === 'join_game') {
-    opponent = e.__HEADER__.replycc;
-    send(opponent, {type: 'game_start', your_color: 'black'});
-  }
-});
+**Before writing or modifying ANY C function**, apply this checklist:
+
+1. Count the number of `JS_New*`, `JS_SetProperty*`, and `js_new_blob*` calls in the function
+2. If there are 2 or more, the function MUST use `JS_FRAME`/`JS_ROOT`/`JS_RETURN`
+3. Every JSValue that is held across an allocating call must be rooted
+
+**Pattern — object with properties:**
+```c
+JS_FRAME(js);
+JS_ROOT(obj, JS_NewObject(js));
+JS_SetPropertyStr(js, obj.val, "x", JS_NewInt32(js, 42));
+JSValue name = JS_NewString(js, "hello");
+JS_SetPropertyStr(js, obj.val, "name", name);
+JS_RETURN(obj.val);
 ```
 
-## Memory Management
+**Pattern — array with loop (declare root BEFORE the loop):**
+```c
+JS_FRAME(js);
+JS_ROOT(arr, JS_NewArray(js));
+JSGCRef item = { .val = JS_NULL, .prev = NULL };
+JS_PushGCRef(js, &item);
+for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
+  item.val = JS_NewObject(js);
+  JS_SetPropertyStr(js, item.val, "v", JS_NewInt32(js, i));
+  JS_SetPropertyNumber(js, arr.val, i, item.val);
+}
+JS_RETURN(arr.val);
+```
 
-- When working with a conversational AI system like Claude, it's important to maintain a clean and focused memory
-- Regularly review and update memories to ensure they remain relevant and helpful
-- Delete or modify memories that are no longer accurate or useful
-- Prioritize information that can genuinely assist in future interactions
+**Rules:**
+- Access rooted values via `.val` (e.g., `obj.val`, not `obj`)
+- NEVER put `JS_ROOT` inside a loop — it pushes the same stack address twice, corrupting the GC chain
+- Error returns before `JS_FRAME` use plain `return`
+- Error returns after `JS_FRAME` must use `JS_RETURN_EX()` or `JS_RETURN_NULL()`
+
+**CRITICAL — C argument evaluation order bug:**
+
+Allocating functions (`JS_NewString`, `JS_NewFloat64`, `js_new_blob_stoned_copy`, etc.) used as arguments to `JS_SetPropertyStr` can crash because C evaluates arguments in unspecified order. The compiler may read `obj.val` BEFORE the allocating call, then GC moves the object, leaving a stale pointer.
+
+```c
+// UNSAFE — intermittent crash:
+JS_SetPropertyStr(js, obj.val, "format", JS_NewString(js, "rgba32"));
+JS_SetPropertyStr(js, obj.val, "pixels", js_new_blob_stoned_copy(js, data, len));
+
+// SAFE — separate the allocation:
+JSValue fmt = JS_NewString(js, "rgba32");
+JS_SetPropertyStr(js, obj.val, "format", fmt);
+JSValue pixels = js_new_blob_stoned_copy(js, data, len);
+JS_SetPropertyStr(js, obj.val, "pixels", pixels);
+```
+
+`JS_NewInt32`, `JS_NewUint32`, and `JS_NewBool` do NOT allocate and are safe inline.
+
+See `docs/c-modules.md` for the full GC safety reference.
+
+## Project Layout
+
+- `source/` — C source for the cell runtime and CLI
+- `docs/` — master documentation (Markdown), reflected on the website
+- `website/` — Hugo site; theme at `website/themes/knr/`
+- `internal/` — internal ƿit scripts (engine.cm etc.)
+- `packages/` — core packages
+- `Makefile` — build system (`make` to rebuild, `make bootstrap` for first build)
+
+## Package Management (Shop CLI)
+
+**Two shops:** `cell <cmd>` uses the global shop at `~/.cell/packages/`. `cell --dev <cmd>` uses the local shop at `.cell/packages/`. Linked packages (via `cell link`) are symlinked into the shop — edit the source directory directly.
+
+```
+cell add <path>                    # add a package (local path or remote)
+cell remove <path>                 # remove a package (cleans lock, symlink, dylibs)
+cell build <path>                  # build C modules for a package
+cell build <path> --force          # force rebuild (ignore stat cache)
+cell test package <path>           # run tests for a package
+cell list                          # list installed packages
+cell link                          # list linked packages
+```
+
+The build step compiles C files to content-addressed dylibs in `~/.cell/build/<hash>` and writes a per-package manifest so the runtime can find them. C files in `src/` are support files linked into module dylibs, not standalone modules.
+
+## Debugging Compiler Issues
+
+When investigating bugs in compiled output (wrong values, missing operations, incorrect comparisons), **start from the optimizer down, not the VM up**. The compiler inspection tools will usually identify the problem faster than adding C-level tracing:
+
+```
+./cell --dev streamline --types <file>    # show inferred slot types — look for wrong types
+./cell --dev ir_report --events <file>    # show every optimization applied and why
+./cell --dev ir_report --types <file>     # show type inference results per function
+./cell --dev mcode --pretty <file>        # show raw IR before optimization
+./cell --dev streamline --ir <file>       # show human-readable optimized IR
+```
+
+**Triage order:**
+1. `streamline --types` — are slot types correct? Wrong type inference causes wrong optimizations.
+2. `ir_report --events` — are type checks being incorrectly eliminated? Look for `known_type_eliminates_guard` on slots that shouldn't have known types.
+3. `mcode --pretty` — is the raw IR correct before optimization? If so, the bug is in streamline.
+4. Only dig into `source/mach.c` if the IR looks correct at all levels.
+
+See `docs/compiler-tools.md` for the full tool reference and `docs/spec/streamline.md` for pass details.
+
+## Testing
+
+After any C runtime changes, run all three test suites before considering the work done:
+
+```
+make                        # rebuild
+./cell --dev vm_suite       # VM-level tests (641 tests)
+./cell --dev test suite     # language-level tests (493 tests)
+./cell --dev fuzz           # fuzzer (100 iterations)
+```
+
+All three must pass with 0 failures.
+
+## Documentation
+
+The `docs/` folder is the single source of truth. The website at `website/` mounts it via Hugo. Key files:
+- `docs/language.md` — language syntax reference
+- `docs/functions.md` — all built-in intrinsic functions
+- `docs/actors.md` — actor model and actor intrinsics
+- `docs/requestors.md` — async requestor pattern
+- `docs/library/*.md` — intrinsic type reference (text, number, array, object) and standard library modules

+// boot_miscompile_bad.cm — Documents a boot compiler miscompilation bug.
+//
+// BUG SUMMARY:
+// The boot compiler's optimizer (likely compress_slots, eliminate_moves,
+// or infer_param_types) miscompiles a specific pattern when it appears
+// inside streamline.cm. The pattern: an array-loaded value used as a
+// dynamic index for another array store, inside a guarded block:
+//
+//   sv = instr[j]
+//   if (is_number(sv) && sv >= 0 && sv < nr_slots) {
+//     last_ref[sv] = i    // <-- miscompiled: sv reads wrong slot
+//   }
+//
+// The bug is CONTEXT-DEPENDENT on streamline.cm's exact function/closure
+// structure. A standalone module with the same pattern does NOT trigger it.
+// The boot optimizer's cross-function analysis (infer_param_types, type
+// propagation, etc.) makes different decisions in the full streamline.cm
+// context, leading to the miscompilation.
+//
+// SYMPTOMS:
+// - 'log' is not defined  (comparison error path fires on non-comparable values)
+// - array index must be a number  (store_dynamic with corrupted index)
+// - Error line has NO reference to 'log' — the reference comes from the
+//   error-reporting code path of the < operator
+// - Non-deterministic: different error messages on different runs
+// - NOT a GC bug: persists with --heap 4GB
+// - NOT slot overflow: function has only 85 raw slots
+//
+// TO REPRODUCE:
+// In streamline.cm, replace the build_slot_liveness function body with

+//
+// FIXING:
+// To find the root cause, compare the boot-compiled bytecodes of
+// build_slot_liveness (in the full streamline.cm context) vs the
+// source-compiled bytecodes. Use disasm.ce with --optimized to see
+// what the source compiler produces. The boot-compiled bytecodes
+// would need a C-level MachCode dump to inspect.

+
+ƿit is an actor-based scripting language for building concurrent applications. It combines a familiar C-like syntax with the actor model of computation, optimized for low memory usage and simplicity.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Actor Model** — isolated memory, message passing, no shared state
+- **Immutability** — `stone()` makes values permanently frozen
+- **Prototype Inheritance** — objects without classes
+- **C Integration** — seamlessly extend with native code
+- **Cross-Platform** — deploy to desktop, web, and embedded
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```javascript
+// hello.ce - A simple actor
+print("Hello, ƿit!")
+$stop()
+```
+
+```bash
+pit hello
+```
+
+## Language
+
+- [**ƿit Language**](/docs/language/) — syntax, types, and operators
+- [**Actors and Modules**](/docs/actors/) — the execution model
+- [**Requestors**](/docs/requestors/) — asynchronous composition
+- [**Packages**](/docs/packages/) — code organization and sharing
+- [**Shop Architecture**](/docs/shop/) — module resolution, compilation, and caching
+
+## Reference
+
+- [**Built-in Functions**](/docs/functions/) — intrinsics reference
+- [text](/docs/library/text/) — text conversion and manipulation
+- [number](/docs/library/number/) — numeric conversion and operations
+- [array](/docs/library/array/) — array creation and manipulation
+- [object](/docs/library/object/) — object creation, prototypes, and serialization
+
+## Standard Library
+
+Modules loaded with `use()`:
+
+- [blob](/docs/library/blob/) — binary data
+- [time](/docs/library/time/) — time and dates
+- [math](/docs/library/math/) — trigonometry and math
+- [json](/docs/library/json/) — JSON encoding/decoding
+- [random](/docs/library/random/) — random numbers
+
+## Tools
+
+- [**Command Line**](/docs/cli/) — the `pit` tool
+- [**Semantic Index**](/docs/semantic-index/) — index and query symbols, references, and call sites
+- [**Testing**](/docs/testing/) — writing and running tests
+- [**Compiler Inspection**](/docs/compiler-tools/) — dump AST, mcode, and optimizer reports
+- [**Writing C Modules**](/docs/c-modules/) — native extensions
+
+## Architecture
+
+ƿit programs are organized into **packages**. Each package contains:
+
+- **Modules** (`.cm`) — return a value, cached and frozen
+- **Actors** (`.ce`) — run independently, communicate via messages
+- **C files** (`.c`) — compiled to native libraries
+
+Actors never share memory. They communicate by sending messages, which are automatically serialized. This makes concurrent programming safe and predictable.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Clone and bootstrap
+git clone https://gitea.pockle.world/john/cell
+cd cell
+make bootstrap
+```
+
+The ƿit shop is stored at `~/.cell/`.
+
+## Development
+
+After making changes, recompile with:
+
+```bash
+make
+```
+
+Run `cell --help` to see all available CLI flags.

-# Programs: Programs and Modules
+---
+title: "Actors and Modules"
+description: "The ƿit execution model"
+weight: 20
+type: "docs"
+---
 
-Prosperon organizes your code into two broad categories: **modules** and **programs**. Modules are used to extend programs with new functionality, while programs are used to spawn actors.
+ƿit organizes code into two types of scripts: **modules** (`.cm`) and **actors** (`.ce`).
 
-## Modules
+## The Actor Model
 
-A **module** is any file that returns a single value. This return value is commonly an object, but it can be any data type (string, number, function, etc.). Once a module returns its value, Prosperon **freezes** that value, preventing accidental modification. The module is then cached so that subsequent imports of the same module don’t re-run the file—they reuse the cached result.
+ƿit is built on the actor model of computation. Each actor:
 
-### Importing a Module
+- Has its own **isolated memory** — actors never share state
+- Runs to completion each **turn** — no preemption
+- Performs its own **garbage collection**
+- Communicates only through **message passing**
 
-Use the built-in `use` function to import a module by file path (or by name if resolvable via Prosperon’s path settings). For example:
+This isolation makes concurrent programming safer and more predictable.
 
-```
-var myModule = use('scripts/modules/myModule')
+## Modules (.cm)
+
+A module is a script that **returns a value**. The returned value is cached and frozen (made stone).
+
+```javascript
+// math_utils.cm
+var math = use('math/radians')
+
+var distance = function(x1, y1, x2, y2) {
+  var dx = x2 - x1
+  var dy = y2 - y1
+  return math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy)
+}
+
+var midpoint = function(x1, y1, x2, y2) {
+  return {
+    x: (x1 + x2) / 2,
+    y: (y1 + y2) / 2
+  }
+}
+
+return {
+  distance: distance,
+  midpoint: midpoint
+}
 ```
 
-`use('module')` returns the **exact** same object if called multiple times, since modules are cached and not re-run.
+**Key properties:**
 
-Dull based modules are resolved by searching for them from the `prosperon.PATH` array. Engine modules are stored under `scripts/modules`, which is already added to the PATH for you.
+- **Must return a value** — it's an error not to
+- **Executed once per actor** — subsequent `use()` calls return the cached value
+- **Return value is stone** — immutable, safe to share
+- Modules can import other modules with `use()`
 
-Prosperon can also load C based modules. If two modules have the same path resolution, the C based library will be imported.
+### Using Modules
 
-## Programs
+```javascript
+var utils = use('math_utils')
+var d = utils.distance(0, 0, 3, 4)  // 5
+```
 
-An **program** is a file that **does not** return a value. Instead, the file’s contents run top to bottom as soon as the program is spawned. Programs are your game’s “live” scripts: each program can hold its own state and logic, spawn sub-programs, schedule timed tasks, and eventually **kill** itself (or be killed) when it’s done.
+## Actors (.ce)
 
-### Program Intrinsic Functions
+An actor is a script that **does not return a value**. It runs as an independent unit of execution.
 
-Certain functions are intrinsic to the program and cannot be overridden. They’re assigned to each new program instance at spawn time:
+```javascript
+// worker.ce
+print("Worker started")
 
-1. **`spawn(script, config, callback)`**  
-   Creates (spawns) a new program from another script file.  
-   - **`script`**: Path to the program script (a file containing statements, not returning anything).  
-   - **`config`**: Optional object of extra properties to assign to the new program.  
-   - **`callback(underling, info)`**: Optional function invoked right after the program is instantiated but before it fully initializes.
+$receiver(function(msg) {
+  print("Received:", msg)
+  send(msg, {status: "ok"})
+})
+```
 
-   The newly spawned program:
-   - Receives a reference to its parent (the `overling`) and can store child programs (the `underlings`).
-   - Automatically calls `awake()` if that function is defined, after basic setup completes.
-   - Registers any recognized event handlers (like `update`, `draw`, etc.) if they exist.
+**Key properties:**
 
-2. **`kill()`**  
-   Destroys the program, all of its timers, and recursively kills any underling (child) programs. If the program has a parent, it is removed from the parent’s `underlings` set.  
+- **Must not return a value** — it's an error to return
+- Has access to **actor intrinsics** (functions starting with `$`)
+- Runs until explicitly stopped or crashes
 
-3. **`delay(fn, seconds)`**  
-   Runs the given function `fn` after `seconds`. This is implemented under the hood with a timer that automatically clears itself once it fires.  
-   - **Example**:  
-     ```js
-     this.delay(_ => {
-       log.console("3 seconds later!")
-     }, 3)
-     ```
+## Actor Intrinsics
 
-4. **`clear()`**  
-   Recursively kills all child programs, clearing your immediate `underlings` set. This is not called automatically. You can use it to manually clean up all children without necessarily killing the program itself.
+Actors have access to special functions prefixed with `$`:
 
-### The program Lifecycle
+### $self
 
-Specific hooks can be set on a program when it is initialized.
+Reference to the current actor. This is a stone (immutable) actor object.
 
-- **Awake**: If the new program defines `awake()`, Prosperon calls it after the script finishes its top-level execution. This is a common place to do initialization.
-- **Garbage**: When the program is killed, if it has a `garbage()` function, Prosperon calls it before final removal.  
-- **Then**: If the program has a `then()` function, Prosperon calls it at the very end of the kill process, allowing any final statements after your `garbage()` logic completes.
-- **Registration**: In addition, if the object has **any** function named the same thing as a hook created with **prosperon.on**, that function will be registered with it after initialization.
+```javascript
+print($self)            // actor reference
+print(is_actor($self))  // true
+```
 
-### Overlings and Underlings
+### $overling
 
-Programs have access to its creator and other programs created underneath it, termed its overling and underlings.
+Reference to the parent actor that started this actor. `null` for the root actor. Child actors are automatically coupled to their overling — if the parent dies, the child dies too.
 
-- **`this.overling`** is the parent program that spawned the current one.
-- **`this.underlings`** is a set of child programs that the current program has spawned.  
+```javascript
+if ($overling != null) {
+  send($overling, {status: "ready"})
+}
+```
 
-Killing a parent automatically kills all of its underlings, which in turn can kill their own underlings, and so on.
+### $stop()
 
-## Program Documentation
+Stop the current actor. When called with an actor argument, stops that underling (child) instead.
 
-Prosperon includes a module called `doc.js` which helps generate documentation for your modules and programs. Any function and value can be assigned a docstring, and prosperon will then be able to generate documentation for it via doc.js. Look under the module API for more info.
+```javascript
+$stop()          // stop self
+$stop(child)     // stop a child actor
+```
+
+**Important:** `$stop()` does not halt execution immediately. Code after the call continues running in the current turn — it only prevents the actor from receiving future messages. Structure your code so that nothing runs after `$stop()`, or use `return` to exit the current function first.
+
+```javascript
+// Wrong — code after $stop() still runs
+if (done) $stop()
+do_more_work()  // this still executes!
+
+// Right — return after $stop()
+if (done) { $stop(); return }
+do_more_work()
+```
+
+### $start(callback, program)
+
+Start a new child actor from a script. The callback receives lifecycle events:
+
+- `{type: "greet", actor: <ref>}` — child started successfully
+- `{type: "stop"}` — child stopped cleanly
+- `{type: "disrupt", reason: ...}` — child crashed
+
+```javascript
+$start(function(event) {
+  if (event.type == 'greet') {
+    print("Child started:", event.actor)
+    send(event.actor, {task: "work"})
+  }
+  if (event.type == 'stop') {
+    print("Child stopped")
+  }
+  if (event.type == 'disrupt') {
+    print("Child crashed:", event.reason)
+  }
+}, "worker")
+```
+
+### $delay(callback, seconds)
+
+Schedule a callback after a delay. Returns a cancel function that can be called to prevent the callback from firing.
+
+```javascript
+var cancel = $delay(function() {
+  print("5 seconds later")
+}, 5)
+
+// To cancel before it fires:
+cancel()
+```
+
+### $clock(callback)
+
+Get called every frame/tick. The callback receives the current time as a number.
+
+```javascript
+$clock(function(t) {
+  // called each tick with current time
+})
+```
+
+### $receiver(callback)
+
+Set up a message receiver. The callback is called with the incoming message whenever another actor sends a message to this actor.
+
+To reply to a message, call `send(message, reply_data)` — the message object contains routing information that directs the reply back to the sender.
+
+```javascript
+$receiver(function(message) {
+  // handle incoming message
+  send(message, {status: "ok"})
+})
+```
+
+### $portal(callback, port)
+
+Open a network port to receive connections from remote actors.
+
+```javascript
+$portal(function(connection) {
+  // handle new connection
+}, 8080)
+```
+
+### $contact(callback, record)
+
+Connect to a remote actor at a given address.
+
+```javascript
+$contact(function(connection) {
+  // connected
+}, {host: "example.com", port: 80})
+```
+
+### $time_limit(requestor, seconds)
+
+Wrap a requestor with a timeout. Returns a new requestor that will cancel the original and call its callback with a failure if the time limit is exceeded. See [Requestors](/docs/requestors/) for details.
+
+```javascript
+var timed = $time_limit(my_requestor, 10)
+
+timed(function(result, reason) {
+  // reason will explain timeout if it fires
+}, initial_value)
+```
+
+### $couple(actor)
+
+Couple the current actor to another actor. When the coupled actor dies, the current actor also dies. Coupling is automatic between a child actor and its overling (parent).
+
+```javascript
+$couple(other_actor)
+```
+
+### $unneeded(callback, seconds)
+
+Schedule the actor for removal after a specified time. The callback fires when the time elapses.
+
+```javascript
+$unneeded(function() {
+  // cleanup before removal
+}, 30)
+```
+
+### $connection(callback, actor, config)
+
+Get information about the connection to another actor. For local actors, returns `{type: "local"}`. For remote actors, returns connection details including latency, bandwidth, and activity.
+
+```javascript
+$connection(function(info) {
+  if (info.type == "local") {
+    print("same machine")
+  } else {
+    print(info.latency)
+  }
+}, other_actor, {})
+```
+
+## Runtime Functions
+
+These functions are available in actors without the `$` prefix:
+
+### send(actor, message, callback)
+
+Send a message to another actor. The message must be an object record.
+
+The optional callback receives the reply when the recipient responds.
+
+```javascript
+send(other_actor, {type: "ping"}, function(reply) {
+  print("Got reply:", reply)
+})
+```
+
+To reply to a received message, pass the message itself as the first argument — it contains routing information:
+
+```javascript
+$receiver(function(message) {
+  send(message, {result: 42})
+})
+```
+
+Messages are automatically flattened to plain data.
+
+### is_actor(value)
+
+Returns `true` if the value is an actor reference.
+
+```javascript
+if (is_actor(some_value)) {
+  send(some_value, {ping: true})
+}
+```
+
+### log
+
+Channel-based logging. Any `log.X(value)` writes to channel `"X"`. Three channels are conventional: `log.console(msg)`, `log.error(msg)`, `log.system(msg)` — but any name works.
+
+Channels are routed to configurable **sinks** (console or file) defined in `.cell/log.toml`. See [Logging](/docs/logging/) for the full guide.
+
+### use(path)
+
+Import a module. See [Module Resolution](#module-resolution) below.
+
+### args
+
+Array of command-line arguments passed to the actor.
+
+### sequence(), parallel(), race(), fallback()
+
+Requestor composition functions. See [Requestors](/docs/requestors/) for details.
+
+## Module Resolution
+
+When you call `use('name')`, ƿit searches:
+
+1. **Current package** — files relative to package root
+2. **Dependencies** — packages declared in `cell.toml`
+3. **Core** — built-in ƿit modules
+
+```javascript
+// From within package 'myapp':
+use('utils')           // myapp/utils.cm
+use('helper/math')     // myapp/helper/math.cm
+use('json')            // core json module
+use('otherlib/foo')    // dependency 'otherlib', file foo.cm
+```
+
+Files in the `internal/` directory are private to the package.
+
+## Example: Simple Actor System
+
+```javascript
+// main.ce - Entry point
+var config = use('config')
+
+print("Starting application...")
+
+$start(function(event) {
+  if (event.type == 'greet') {
+    send(event.actor, {task: "process", data: [1, 2, 3]})
+  }
+  if (event.type == 'stop') {
+    print("Worker finished")
+    $stop()
+  }
+}, "worker")
+
+$delay(function() {
+  print("Shutting down")
+  $stop()
+}, 10)
+```
+
+```javascript
+// worker.ce - Worker actor
+$receiver(function(msg) {
+  if (msg.task == "process") {
+    var result = array(msg.data, function(x) { return x * 2 })
+    send(msg, {result: result})
+  }
+  $stop()
+})
+```
+
+```javascript
+// config.cm - Shared configuration
+return {
+  debug: true,
+  timeout: 30
+}
+```
