# Phase 142 P0: Implementation Summary

## Overview
Successfully extended the Canonicalizer to recognize trim leading/trailing patterns by generalizing the skip_whitespace pattern detector.

## Acceptance Criteria Status
✅ All criteria met:
- ✅ Canonicalizer creates Skeleton for trim_leading/trailing
- ✅ RoutingDecision.chosen == Pattern2Break (ExitContract priority)
- ✅ decision.missing_caps == [] (no missing capabilities)
- ✅ Strict parity green (both test files)
- ✅ Default behavior unchanged
- ✅ Unit tests added (2 new tests)
- ✅ Documentation created

## Files Modified

### 1. ast_feature_extractor.rs (+31 lines, -11 lines)
**Path**: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/ast_feature_extractor.rs`

**Key Changes**:
- Generalized `detect_skip_whitespace_pattern()` to accept both `Add` and `Subtract` operators
- Added `op_multiplier` logic to handle +1 and -1 deltas
- Updated documentation to reflect support for trim patterns
- Maintained SSOT architecture

**Core Logic**:
```rust
// Phase 142 P0: Accept both Add (+1) and Subtract (-1)
let op_multiplier = match operator {
    BinaryOperator::Add => 1,
    BinaryOperator::Subtract => -1,
    _ => return None,
};

// Calculate delta with sign (e.g., +1 or -1)
let delta = const_val * op_multiplier;
```

### 2. canonicalizer.rs (+184 lines, -1 line)
**Path**: `src/mir/loop_canonicalizer/canonicalizer.rs`

**Key Changes**:
- Added `test_trim_leading_pattern_recognized()` unit test
- Added `test_trim_trailing_pattern_recognized()` unit test
- Fixed `test_skip_whitespace_fails_with_wrong_delta()` to use `Multiply` operator (clearer semantics)

**Test Coverage**:
- Skeleton structure verification
- Carrier slot verification (with correct delta sign)
- ExitContract verification
- RoutingDecision verification

### 3. pattern_recognizer.rs (-1 line)
**Path**: `src/mir/loop_canonicalizer/pattern_recognizer.rs`

**Key Changes**:
- Removed unused `SkipWhitespaceInfo` import
- Code cleanup only, no functional changes

### Code Changes

### Test Results
```
Unit Tests:
  running 7 tests
  test result: ok. 7 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored

Manual Verification (trim_leading):
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Decision: SUCCESS
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Chosen pattern: Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Missing caps: []
  [choose_pattern_kind/PARITY] OK: canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer/PARITY] OK in function 'main': canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break

Manual Verification (trim_trailing):
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Decision: SUCCESS
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Chosen pattern: Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Missing caps: []
  [choose_pattern_kind/PARITY] OK: canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer/PARITY] OK in function 'main': canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break
```

### Build Status
- ✅ Compilation: Success (no errors)
- ✅ Warnings: 0 new warnings (unused import fixed)
- ✅ Formatting: Applied (cargo fmt)

## Design Principles Applied

### 1. Box-First Modularization
- Extended existing function instead of creating new ones
- Maintained SSOT pattern
- Preserved delegation architecture

### 2. Incremental Implementation
- Minimal scope (recognizer only)
- No changes to routing or lowering logic
- P0 focus maintained

### 3. ExitContract Priority
- Pattern choice determined by ExitContract
- has_break=true → Pattern2Break
- Consistent with existing policy

### 4. Fail-Fast Principle
- Clear error messages
- No fallback logic
- Explicit pattern matching

### 5. Source Code Quality
- Clean, well-documented code
- Comprehensive comments
- Consistent formatting

## Recognized Patterns

### Before Phase 142
```rust
// Only: p = p + 1
if is_ws { p = p + 1 } else { break }
```

### After Phase 142 P0
```rust
// Pattern 1: skip_whitespace (original)
if is_ws { p = p + 1 } else { break }

// Pattern 2: trim_leading (new)
if is_ws { start = start + 1 } else { break }

// Pattern 3: trim_trailing (new)
if is_ws { end = end - 1 } else { break }
```

## Known Limitations

### Expected Behavior
- Pattern2 variable promotion (A-3 Trim promotion) not implemented
- This is intentional - Phase 142 P0 only targets recognizer extension
- Promotion will be addressed in future phases

### No Impact On
- Default behavior (unchanged)
- Existing patterns (backward compatible)
- Performance (minimal overhead)

## Verification Commands

### Unit Tests
```bash
cargo test --release loop_canonicalizer::canonicalizer::tests --lib
# Expected: 7 passed
```

### Manual Tests
```bash
# trim_leading
NYASH_JOINIR_DEV=1 HAKO_JOINIR_STRICT=1 ./target/release/hakorune \
  tools/selfhost/test_pattern3_trim_leading.hako
# Expected: [choose_pattern_kind/PARITY] OK: canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break

# trim_trailing
NYASH_JOINIR_DEV=1 HAKO_JOINIR_STRICT=1 ./target/release/hakorune \
  tools/selfhost/test_pattern3_trim_trailing.hako
# Expected: [choose_pattern_kind/PARITY] OK: canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break
```

```bash
git diff --stat

## Next Steps

### Phase 142 P1 (Future)
- Implement A-3 Trim promotion in Pattern2 handler
- Enable full execution of trim patterns
- Address variable promotion issues

### Phase 142 P2 (Future)
- Extend to Pattern 3/4 routing
- Support more complex carrier updates
- Generalize condition patterns

### Phase 142 P3 (Future)
- Multi-carrier trim patterns
- Nested trim patterns
- Performance optimizations

## Conclusion
Phase 142 P0 successfully achieved all objectives:
- Recognizer generalization complete ✅
- Unit tests passing ✅
- Strict parity green ✅
- Documentation complete ✅
- Code quality maintained ✅

The implementation follows all design principles, maintains SSOT architecture, and sets a solid foundation for future pattern extensions.
