+# Phase 225: LoopBodyLocalInit MethodCall Meta-Driven Lowering - Complete Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+Phase 225 successfully eliminated ALL hardcoding from `loop_body_local_init.rs` by delegating MethodCall lowering to `MethodCallLowerer` and using `CoreMethodId` metadata exclusively.
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Phase 193 introduced MethodCall support in body-local init expressions (e.g., `local digit_pos = digits.indexOf(ch)`), but the implementation contained hardcoded method names and box name mappings:
+
+```rust
+// Line 387: Hardcoded whitelist
+const SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS: &[&str] = &["indexOf", "get", "toString"];
+
+// Lines 433-438: Hardcoded box name mapping
+let box_name = match method {
+    "indexOf" => "StringBox".to_string(),
+    "get" => "ArrayBox".to_string(),
+    "toString" => "IntegerBox".to_string(),
+    _ => unreachable!("Whitelist check should have caught this"),
+};
+```
+
+This caused errors like:
+```
+Method 'substring' not supported in body-local init (Phase 193 limitation - only indexOf, get, toString supported)
+```
+
+## Solution: Meta-Driven Architecture
+
+### Architecture Change
+
+**Before (Phase 193 - Hardcoded)**:
+```
+LoopBodyLocalInitLowerer
+  └─ emit_method_call_init (static method)
+      ├─ SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS whitelist ❌
+      ├─ match method { "indexOf" => "StringBox" } ❌
+      └─ Emit BoxCall instruction
+```
+
+**After (Phase 225 - Meta-Driven)**:
+```
+LoopBodyLocalInitLowerer
+  └─ emit_method_call_init (static method)
+      └─ Delegates to MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_init
+          ├─ Resolve method_name → CoreMethodId ✅
+          ├─ Check allowed_in_init() ✅
+          ├─ Get box_name from CoreMethodId ✅
+          ├─ Check arity ✅
+          └─ Emit BoxCall instruction
+```
+
+### Key Changes
+
+1. **Deleted hardcoded whitelist** (`SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS` constant)
+2. **Deleted hardcoded box name match** (`indexOf → StringBox` mapping)
+3. **Delegated to MethodCallLowerer** (single responsibility principle)
+4. **All decisions driven by `CoreMethodId` metadata** (SSOT)
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified
+
+1. **`src/mir/join_ir/lowering/loop_body_local_init.rs`** (main refactoring)
+   - Import `MethodCallLowerer`
+   - Refactor `emit_method_call_init` to delegate
+   - Delete `lower_init_arg` helper (no longer needed)
+   - Update module documentation
+   - **Net change**: -82 lines (158 deleted - 76 added)
+
+2. **`src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/pattern_pipeline.rs`** (test fixes)
+   - Add `condition_aliases: Vec::new()` to CarrierInfo test structs (2 occurrences)
+
+3. **`src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/pattern4_carrier_analyzer.rs`** (test fixes)
+   - Add `condition_aliases: Vec::new()` to CarrierInfo test struct (1 occurrence)
+
+4. **`docs/development/current/main/joinir-architecture-overview.md`** (documentation)
+   - Added Phase 225 section to LoopBodyLocal init history
+
+5. **`CURRENT_TASK.md`** (status update)
+   - Added Phase 225 completion summary
+
+### CoreMethodId Metadata
+
+The `allowed_in_init()` method already included the methods we needed:
+
+```rust
+pub fn allowed_in_init(&self) -> bool {
+    use CoreMethodId::*;
+    match self {
+        // String operations - allowed
+        StringLength | StringSubstring | StringIndexOf => true, // ✅
+
+        // String transformations - allowed for init
+        StringUpper | StringLower | StringTrim => true,
+
+        // Array operations - allowed
+        ArrayLength | ArrayGet => true,
+
+        // Map operations - allowed
+        MapGet | MapHas | MapKeys => true,
+
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+No changes were needed to metadata - it was already correct!
+
+## Results
+
+### Code Quality
+
+- **-82 net lines** (158 deletions - 76 additions)
+- **Zero hardcoded method names** (all resolved via `CoreMethodId::iter()`)
+- **Zero hardcoded box names** (all from `method_id.box_id().name()`)
+- **Single Responsibility**: MethodCallLowerer is the only place that handles MethodCall → JoinIR
+
+### Test Results
+
+#### Unit Tests
+- **MethodCallLowerer**: 8/8 tests PASS
+- **loop_body_local_init**: 3/3 tests PASS
+
+#### Integration Tests
+- **877/884 tests PASS** (99.2% pass rate)
+- **7 failures**: Pre-existing Pattern 3 accumulator variable issues (not related to Phase 225)
+
+#### E2E Verification
+- **substring now works in body-local init** ✅
+- Simple test case: `local ch = s.substring(p, p+1)` compiles without error
+- Complex test case: `phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako` progresses past substring error to cascading dependency issue (which is a pre-existing limitation from Phase 193)
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+- **substring** method now usable in loop body-local init
+- **Any method with `allowed_in_init() == true`** automatically supported
+- **Easy to extend**: Add method to `CoreMethodId`, set `allowed_in_init()`, done!
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+### Cascading LoopBodyLocal Dependencies
+
+The test `apps/tests/phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako` reveals a **pre-existing limitation** (not introduced by Phase 225):
+
+```nyash
+loop(p < s.length()) {
+    local ch = s.substring(p, p+1)        // ✅ Now works (Phase 225)
+    local digit_pos = digits.indexOf(ch)  // ❌ Error: 'ch' not found in ConditionEnv
+    ...
+}
+```
+
+**Root cause**: When lowering `digit_pos = digits.indexOf(ch)`, the argument `ch` is looked up in `ConditionEnv` only. However, `ch` is a LoopBodyLocal variable, so it should be looked up in `LoopBodyLocalEnv`.
+
+**Status**: This limitation existed in Phase 193 - the original `lower_init_arg` also only checked `ConditionEnv`.
+
+**Future work**: Phase 226+ could extend argument lowering to check `LoopBodyLocalEnv` for cascading dependencies.
+
+## Architecture Benefits
+
+### 1. Metadata-Driven
+- **Single Source of Truth**: `CoreMethodId` defines all method metadata
+- **No duplication**: Method name, box name, arity, whitelist all in one place
+- **Easy to extend**: Add new methods by updating `CoreMethodId` only
+
+### 2. Single Responsibility
+- **MethodCallLowerer**: "MethodCall → JoinIR" conversion (Phase 224-B)
+- **LoopBodyLocalInitLowerer**: Loop body-local init coordination (Phase 186)
+- **Clear boundary**: Init lowerer delegates, doesn't duplicate logic
+
+### 3. Fail-Fast
+- **Unknown methods** → immediate error (not silent fallback)
+- **Arity mismatch** → immediate error
+- **Not whitelisted** → immediate error with clear message
+
+### 4. Type Safety
+- **No string matching** → use enum (`CoreMethodId`)
+- **Compile-time checks** → catch errors early
+- **Refactoring-safe** → rename detection
+
+### 5. Maintainability
+- **Add new method**: Update `CoreMethodId` only (one place)
+- **Change whitelist**: Update `allowed_in_init()` only
+- **No scattered hardcoding** across files
+
+## Comparison: Phase 193 vs Phase 225
+
+| Aspect | Phase 193 | Phase 225 |
+|--------|-----------|-----------|
+| Method whitelist | Hardcoded constant | CoreMethodId metadata |
+| Box name mapping | Match statement | `method_id.box_id().name()` |
+| Supported methods | 3 (indexOf, get, toString) | 15+ (all with `allowed_in_init() == true`) |
+| Code lines | 158 | 76 (-82 lines) |
+| Extensibility | Add to 2 places | Add to `CoreMethodId` only |
+| Type safety | String matching | Enum-based |
+| Single responsibility | Violated | Achieved |
+
+## Future Work (Not in Phase 225)
+
+### Phase 226+: Potential Improvements
+
+1. **Cascading LoopBodyLocal support**
+   - Extend argument lowering to check `LoopBodyLocalEnv`
+   - Enable `ch` → `digit_pos` → condition chains
+
+2. **Type inference**
+   - Use actual receiver type instead of heuristics
+   - More accurate box name resolution
+
+3. **Custom method support**
+   - User-defined box methods in init expressions
+
+4. **Optimization**
+   - Dead code elimination for unused method calls
+   - Common subexpression elimination
+
+5. **Error messages**
+   - Better diagnostics with suggestions
+   - "Did you mean...?" for typos
+

+# Phase 225: LoopBodyLocalInit MethodCall Lowering - Meta-Driven Design
+
+## Background
+
+Phase 224-D completed `ConditionAlias` variable resolution, but `loop_body_local_init.rs` still has hardcoded method name whitelists and box name mappings in `emit_method_call_init`:
+
+```rust
+// Line 387: Method name whitelist (substring is missing!)
+const SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS: &[&str] = &["indexOf", "get", "toString"];
+
+// Line 433-438: Box name hardcoding
+let box_name = match method {
+    "indexOf" => "StringBox".to_string(),
+    "get" => "ArrayBox".to_string(),
+    "toString" => "IntegerBox".to_string(),
+    _ => unreachable!("Whitelist check should have caught this"),
+};
+```
+
+This causes errors like:
+```
+Method 'substring' not supported in body-local init (Phase 193 limitation - only indexOf, get, toString supported)
+```
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+Test case `apps/tests/phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako` fails at:
+```nyash
+local ch = s.substring(p, p+1)  // ❌ substring not in whitelist
+local digit_pos = digits.indexOf(ch)  // ✅ indexOf is in whitelist
+```
+
+The hardcoded whitelist prevents legitimate pure methods from being used in loop body-local initialization.
+
+## Goal
+
+**Eliminate ALL hardcoding** and make method call lowering **metadata-driven** using `CoreMethodId`:
+
+1. **No method name hardcoding** - Use `CoreMethodId::iter()` to resolve methods
+2. **No box name hardcoding** - Use `method_id.box_id().name()` to get box name
+3. **Metadata-driven whitelist** - Use `method_id.allowed_in_init()` for permission check
+4. **Delegation to MethodCallLowerer** - Single responsibility, reuse existing logic
+5. **Fail-Fast** - Methods not in `CoreMethodId` immediately error
+
+## Target Pattern
+
+```nyash
+loop(p < s.length()) {
+    local ch = s.substring(p, p+1)        // ✅ Phase 225: substring allowed
+    local digit_pos = digits.indexOf(ch)  // ✅ Already works
+
+    if digit_pos < 0 {
+        break
+    }
+
+    num_str = num_str + ch
+    p = p + 1
+}
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Before (Phase 193 - Hardcoded)
+
+```
+LoopBodyLocalInitLowerer
+  └─ emit_method_call_init (static method)
+      ├─ SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS whitelist ❌
+      ├─ match method { "indexOf" => "StringBox" } ❌
+      └─ Emit BoxCall instruction
+```
+
+### After (Phase 225 - Meta-Driven)
+
+```
+LoopBodyLocalInitLowerer
+  └─ emit_method_call_init (static method)
+      └─ Delegates to MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_init
+          ├─ Resolve method_name → CoreMethodId ✅
+          ├─ Check allowed_in_init() ✅
+          ├─ Get box_name from CoreMethodId ✅
+          ├─ Check arity ✅
+          └─ Emit BoxCall instruction
+```
+
+**Key Principle**: `MethodCallLowerer` is the **single source of truth** for all MethodCall → JoinIR lowering.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### 225-2: Add `MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_init`
+
+**Location**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/method_call_lowerer.rs`
+
+**Note**: This method **already exists** (added in Phase 224-C). We just need to verify it works correctly:
+
+```rust
+/// Lower a MethodCall for use in LoopBodyLocal initialization
+///
+/// Similar to `lower_for_condition` but uses `allowed_in_init()` whitelist.
+/// More permissive - allows methods like `substring`, `indexOf`, etc.
+pub fn lower_for_init<F>(
+    recv_val: ValueId,
+    method_name: &str,
+    args: &[ASTNode],
+    alloc_value: &mut F,
+    env: &ConditionEnv,
+    instructions: &mut Vec<JoinInst>,
+) -> Result<ValueId, String>
+where
+    F: FnMut() -> ValueId,
+{
+    // 1. Resolve method name to CoreMethodId
+    let method_id = CoreMethodId::iter()
+        .find(|m| m.name() == method_name)
+        .ok_or_else(|| format!("MethodCall not recognized as CoreMethodId: {}", method_name))?;
+
+    // 2. Check if allowed in init context
+    if !method_id.allowed_in_init() {
+        return Err(format!("MethodCall not allowed in LoopBodyLocal init: {}.{}() (not whitelisted)", recv_val.0, method_name));
+    }
+
+    // 3. Check arity

+
+### 225-3: Refactor `emit_method_call_init` to Delegate
+
+**Location**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/loop_body_local_init.rs`
+
+**Changes**:
+1. **Delete** `SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS` whitelist (line 387)
+2. **Delete** hardcoded box name match (lines 433-438)
+3. **Delegate** to `MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_init`
+
+```rust
+// Before: 80 lines of hardcoded logic
+fn emit_method_call_init(...) -> Result<ValueId, String> {
+    const SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS: &[&str] = &["indexOf", "get", "toString"]; // ❌ DELETE
+
+    if !SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS.contains(&method) { ... } // ❌ DELETE
+
+    let receiver_id = ...; // ✅ Keep (resolve receiver)
+    let arg_ids = ...; // ✅ Keep (lower arguments)
+
+    let box_name = match method { ... }; // ❌ DELETE
+
+    instructions.push(JoinInst::Compute(MirLikeInst::BoxCall { ... })); // ❌ DELETE
+}
+
+// After: 20 lines of delegation
+fn emit_method_call_init(
+    receiver: &ASTNode,
+    method: &str,
+    args: &[ASTNode],
+    cond_env: &ConditionEnv,
+    instructions: &mut Vec<JoinInst>,
+    alloc: &mut dyn FnMut() -> ValueId,
+) -> Result<ValueId, String> {
+    // 1. Resolve receiver (existing logic)
+    let receiver_id = match receiver {
+        ASTNode::Variable { name, .. } => {
+            cond_env.get(name).ok_or_else(|| {
+                format!("Method receiver '{}' not found in ConditionEnv", name)
+            })?
+        }
+        _ => {
+            return Err("Complex receiver not supported in init method call".to_string());
+        }
+    };
+
+    // 2. Delegate to MethodCallLowerer! ✅
+    MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_init(
+        receiver_id,
+        method,
+        args,
+        alloc,
+        cond_env,
+        instructions,
+    )
+}
+```
+
+**Key Change**: Argument lowering is now handled by `MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_init` (via `condition_lowerer::lower_value_expression`), so we don't need to duplicate that logic.
+
+### 225-4: Verify CoreMethodId Metadata
+
+**Location**: `src/runtime/core_box_ids.rs`
+
+Check `allowed_in_init()` implementation (lines 432-464):
+
+```rust
+pub fn allowed_in_init(&self) -> bool {
+    use CoreMethodId::*;
+    match self {
+        // String operations - allowed
+        StringLength | StringSubstring | StringIndexOf => true, // ✅ substring and indexOf!
+
+        // String transformations - allowed for init
+        StringUpper | StringLower | StringTrim => true,
+
+        // Array operations - allowed
+        ArrayLength | ArrayGet => true,
+
+        // ...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Verification**: Confirm that:
+- `StringSubstring.allowed_in_init() == true` ✅ (line 436)
+- `StringIndexOf.allowed_in_init() == true` ✅ (line 436)
+
+No changes needed - metadata is already correct!
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+**Location**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/method_call_lowerer.rs`
+
+Existing tests to verify:
+- `test_lower_substring_for_init` - substring in init context (line 346)
+- `test_lower_indexOf_with_arg` - indexOf with 1 argument (line 433)
+- `test_phase224c_arity_mismatch` - arity checking (line 401)
+
+### E2E Test
+
+**Location**: `apps/tests/phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako`
+
+Expected behavior after Phase 225:
+```bash
+$ ./target/release/hakorune --backend vm apps/tests/phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako
+
+# Before Phase 225:
+❌ Error: Method 'substring' not supported in body-local init
+
+# After Phase 225:
+✅ p = 3
+✅ num_str = 123
+```
+
+### Regression Tests
+
+Run existing tests to ensure no breakage:
+```bash
+cargo test --release --lib method_call_lowerer
+cargo test --release --lib loop_body_local_init
+```
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. ✅ `cargo build --release` succeeds
+2. ✅ All unit tests in `method_call_lowerer.rs` pass
+3. ✅ All unit tests in `loop_body_local_init.rs` pass
+4. ✅ `phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako` runs successfully (substring error disappears)
+5. ✅ **Zero hardcoded method names or box names** in `emit_method_call_init`
+6. ✅ No regressions in existing tests
+
+## Hardcoding Inventory (To Be Deleted)
+
+### In `loop_body_local_init.rs`:
+
+1. **Line 387**: `const SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS: &[&str] = &["indexOf", "get", "toString"];`
+2. **Lines 389-394**: Method whitelist check
+3. **Lines 433-438**: Box name match statement
+
+**Total lines to delete**: ~20 lines
+**Total lines to add**: ~5 lines (delegation call)
+
+**Net change**: -15 lines (cleaner, simpler, more maintainable)
+
+## Benefits
+
+### 1. **Metadata-Driven Architecture**
+- Single Source of Truth: `CoreMethodId` defines all method metadata
+- No duplication: Method name, box name, arity, whitelist all in one place
+- Easy to extend: Add new methods by updating `CoreMethodId` only
+
+### 2. **Single Responsibility**
+- `MethodCallLowerer`: "MethodCall → JoinIR" conversion (Phase 224-B)
+- `LoopBodyLocalInitLowerer`: Loop body-local init coordination (Phase 186)
+- Clear boundary: Init lowerer delegates, doesn't duplicate logic
+
+### 3. **Fail-Fast**
+- Unknown methods → immediate error (not silent fallback)
+- Arity mismatch → immediate error
+- Not whitelisted → immediate error with clear message
+
+### 4. **Type Safety**
+- No string matching → use enum (`CoreMethodId`)
+- Compile-time checks → catch errors early
+- Refactoring-safe → rename detection
+
+### 5. **Maintainability**
+- Add new method: Update `CoreMethodId` only (one place)
+- Change whitelist: Update `allowed_in_init()` only
+- No scattered hardcoding across files
+
+## Future Work (Not in Phase 225)
+
+### Phase 226+: Additional Improvements
+
+1. **Type inference**: Use actual receiver type instead of heuristics
+2. **Custom method support**: User-defined box methods
+3. **Optimization**: Dead code elimination for unused method calls
+4. **Error messages**: Better diagnostics with suggestions
+
+## References
+
+- **Phase 186**: Loop Body-Local Variable Initialization (initial implementation)
+- **Phase 193**: MethodCall support in body-local init (hardcoded version)
+- **Phase 224-B**: MethodCallLowerer Box creation (metadata-driven)
+- **Phase 224-C**: MethodCallLowerer argument support
+- **Phase 224-D**: ConditionAlias variable resolution
+
+## Commit Message Template
+
+```
+refactor(joinir): Phase 225 - LoopBodyLocalInit MethodCall meta-driven
+
+- Delete SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS whitelist in loop_body_local_init.rs
+- Delete hardcoded box name match (indexOf→StringBox, etc.)
+- Delegate emit_method_call_init to MethodCallLowerer::lower_for_init
+- Use CoreMethodId metadata for allowed_in_init() whitelist
+- Fix: substring now works in body-local init (digit_pos test)
+
+Hardcoding removed:
+- SUPPORTED_INIT_METHODS constant (line 387)
+- Box name match statement (lines 433-438)
+- Whitelist check (lines 389-394)
+
+Net change: -15 lines (cleaner, simpler, more maintainable)
+
+Single Source of Truth: CoreMethodId metadata drives all decisions
+Single Responsibility: MethodCallLowerer handles all MethodCall lowering
+
+✅ All tests passing
+✅ phase2235_p2_digit_pos_min.hako now works
+✅ Zero hardcoded method/box names remaining
+
+Phase 225 complete - meta-driven architecture achieved
