Adds EL_TRUE/EL_FALSE convenience macros to el_runtime.h alongside the
existing EL_NULL, making boolean-returning builtins readable without
raw (el_val_t) casts. Documents all value macros in the header comment.
Also lands el_arena_push/el_arena_pop — a scoped string arena for CLI
programs that never call el_request_start/end. The compiler can push a
mark before a compilation unit and pop it after to free intermediate
strings, reducing peak RSS during long compile runs.
Brings the remaining foundation repos that were not included in the
original monorepo consolidation:
- arbor/vessels/ — 6 vessels (arbor-cli, arbor-core, arbor-diagram,
arbor-layout, arbor-parse, arbor-render) with manifests + src/main.el
- dharma/ — CGI Provenance Registry package (flat layout, 14 .el files
across registry/, sandbox/, training/, validation/, tests/)
- forge/ — consciousness channel tool (8 src .el files + new manifest.el)
- elp/src/ — 36 test fixture files not carried over in original merge
(dedup_*, realizer_*, semantics_*, morph_*, ext_*, one_extern_* helpers)
el-ide, engram, elql are already complete in ide/, engram/, ql/.
el-html is a standalone atomic emit layer; it has no runtime dependency on
el-style or el-layout (those vessels depend on el-html for SSR, not the other
way around).
- add -lm (el_runtime.c uses pow/sqrt/log/sin/cos/exp)
- add -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition to gen2 (is_digit/is_whitespace
defined in both elc-bootstrap.c and el_runtime.c; bootstrap predates
the text-processing primitives commit)
- remove colon from Self-host step name (Gitea YAML parser rejects it)
- replace em dashes in step names with hyphens
- lang/tools/install/el-install.el: El program that fetches the latest
release from the Gitea API, downloads el-sdk-latest.tar.gz, and
extracts it into ~/.el (or a custom prefix passed as argv[1])
- lang/tools/install/manifest.el: build manifest for the el-install package
- .gitea/workflows/sdk-release.yaml: build elb, epm, and el-install
binaries; bundle elc + elb + epm + runtime files into el-sdk-latest.tar.gz;
attach both the tarball and el-install binary to the Gitea release
alongside the existing per-file GCP uploads
- Add tests/native/test_{core,text,string,math,state,time,json,env,fs}.el
- test_codegen_js.el renamed to test_core.el per dev convention
- Add native test CI steps to ci-dev.yaml (compile-link-run pattern)
- No lexer.el/parser.el/codegen.el changes taken from this branch
Restructures the test suite as a proper El vessel with manifest.el and
src/ layout, eliminating the bash run.sh harness. CI runs the suite with
two commands: `cd tests/suite && elb && ./dist/el-tests`. Exit code is
the fail count (0 = all pass).
163 test cases across 7 modules: string (52), math (13), json (26),
state (11), time (25), fs (16), collections (19).
Triggers on push to main plus repository_dispatch for both el-sdk-updated
and engram-updated. Installs El SDK from foundation-prod, compile-checks all
standalone .el programs, and includes elql-updated dispatch placeholder for
future downstream consumers.
Introduces epm/, a new component written entirely in native El.
epm manages vessels (El's deployable package format): publish to Engram,
install with full dependency resolution, list registry contents, and
inspect vessel metadata.
- epm/manifest.el — package manifest
- epm/src/manifest.el — vessel/package manifest parser (line-by-line,
same approach as elb.el)
- epm/src/registry.el — Engram-backed vessel registry (POST /api/nodes,
GET /api/search); vessels stored as Entity nodes
with label "vessel:<name>:<version>"
- epm/src/install.el — topological dependency resolver with cycle
detection; installs to .epm/vessels/<name>/
- epm/src/epm.el — main entry point: publish / install / list / info
el_runtime.c includes <math.h> and calls pow(), sqrt(), log() in several
places (math operations, engram dampening, float formatting). Without -lm
the linker fails on Linux when linking programs built with elb.
Dharma's EngramDB client calls /nodes/list to retrieve all nodes.
Add this as an alias for the existing /nodes (and /api/nodes) route
so downstream clients don't need to be updated when the API drifts.
Also update dist/engram.c to match server.el.
