Will Anderson 12d5e7777e runtime + compiler: dharma, match, cgi blocks, VBD, agentic LLM
Two parallel agent sweeps closing the remaining structural gaps.

== Compiler completions ==

- match codegen: lowers Match into GCC/Clang statement-expression
  ({ ... }). Patterns: Wildcard, Binding, LitInt (==), LitStr
  (str_eq), LitBool. Per-match unique label via state counter.
  Verified: classify(0)→"zero", classify(1)→"one", classify(7)→"other".

- cgi block parsing: `cgi "name" { dharma_id, principal, network,
  engram }` → CgiBlock AST node → el_cgi_init() emitted as the first
  call in main() after el_runtime_init_args. Multiple cgi blocks per
  program emit a #error directive. Missing optional fields → EL_NULL.

- VBD compile-time enforcement: parser attaches `decorator: <name>`
  to FnDef. Codegen recursively walks fn bodies (Call/BinOp/Not/Neg/
  Field/Index/Try/Array/Map/If/For/Match plus Let/Return/Expr/While/
  For). If a non-@manager function calls dharma_emit or dharma_field,
  emit `#error "VBD violation: ... fn '<name>'"` before the function
  body. Verified: @engine fn calling dharma_emit → cc fails with the
  message. @manager fn calling dharma_emit → compiles clean.

Three-stage closure: stage1.c == stage2.c == stage3.c (2791 lines
each, byte-identical). dist/platform/elc rebuilt at 165 KB; .prev5
preserved.

== Runtime completions ==

- Real dharma_* primitives, no more stubs. Channel registry,
  request/response over HTTP, network-wide spreading activation,
  fire-and-forget event emission, blocking dharma_field with
  pthread_cond_timedwait (30s default), Hebbian relationship
  weights stored as Engram edges between dharma:self and
  dharma:peer:<id>, sorted-by-weight peer list. URL/ID arrays
  snapshotted before network I/O so mutexes never block on socket.

- New public C contract: el_runtime_dharma_event_arrive(type, payload,
  source) — application HTTP handler calls this when /dharma/event
  arrives, runtime broadcasts on _dharma_event_cv. Keeps the HTTP
  server generic; events flow through the application's router.

- llm_call_agentic real multi-turn loop. Tool registry (mutex-
  protected, dlsym-resolved, mirroring http_set_handler). Loop:
  build request with tools+messages → POST → dispatch on stop_reason.
  end_turn → return text. max_tokens → text + "[truncated]". tool_use
  → walk content[], call registered handler per block, build
  tool_result message, append to conversation, loop. Iteration cap
  10. Tools not registered return {"error":"tool not registered: X"}
  with is_error: true.

- New builtin: llm_register_tool(name, handler_fn_name).

Compile clean: cc -std=c11 -Wall -Wextra -c → zero warnings, zero
errors. Smoke test exercises every new dharma_* primitive +
llm_register_tool round-trip.

Runtime grew 3309→4079 lines (.c, ~155 KB), 312→342 lines (.h).

== Integration ==

Engram rebuilt against the new runtime: 130 KB binary, daemon
swapped on :8742 cleanly, /health and /api/stats both returning
correctly under launchd. No regressions.

== Status of "planned" items in language.md ==

- match codegen → IMPLEMENTED
- cgi block parsing → IMPLEMENTED
- VBD enforcement → IMPLEMENTED
- % operator → IMPLEMENTED (earlier today)
- vessel keyword → lexed (codegen uses package compatible)
- activate construct → still planned (low priority; engram_activate
  builtin covers the use case for now)
- sealed block → still planned
- dharma_emit fanout parallelization → potential future work, current
  serial behavior matches spec

/*
* el_runtime.h — El language C runtime header
*
* Declares all built-in functions available to compiled El programs.
* Include this in every generated .c file.
*
* Value model:
* All El values are represented as el_val_t (= int64_t).
* On 64-bit systems a pointer fits in int64_t.
* String values are cast: (el_val_t)(uintptr_t)"hello"
* Integer values are stored directly.
* This lets arithmetic work naturally while still passing strings around.
*
* Type conventions (El -> C):
* String -> el_val_t (holds const char* via uintptr_t cast)
* Int -> el_val_t
* Bool -> el_val_t (0 = false, nonzero = true)
* Any -> el_val_t
* Void -> void
*
* Macros for convenience:
* EL_STR(s) cast string literal to el_val_t
* EL_CSTR(v) cast el_val_t back to const char*
* EL_INT(v) identity — el_val_t is already int64_t
*
* Link requirements:
* -lcurl — required for the HTTP client (http_get, http_post, llm_*).
* -lpthread — required for the HTTP server (one detached thread per
* connection, capped at 64 concurrent).
*
* Canonical compile command:
* cc -std=c11 -I el-compiler/runtime -lcurl -lpthread \
* -o <out> <prog>.c el-compiler/runtime/el_runtime.c
