feat(joinir): Phase 193-4 - Exit Binding Builder implementation

Implemented fully boxified exit binding generation for Pattern 3 & 4.
Eliminates hardcoded variable names and ValueId assumptions.

**New files**:
- docs/development/current/main/phase193_exit_binding_builder.md: Design document
- src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/exit_binding.rs: ExitBindingBuilder implementation (400+ lines)

**Key components**:
- LoopExitBinding: Maps JoinIR exit values to host function variables
- ExitBindingBuilder: Generates bindings from CarrierInfo + ExitMeta
- Comprehensive validation:
  - Carrier name mismatch detection
  - Missing carrier detection
  - Loop variable incorrectly in exit_values
- Builder methods:
  - new(): Create builder with metadata validation
  - build_loop_exit_bindings(): Generate bindings, update variable_map
  - apply_to_boundary(): Set JoinInlineBoundary host/join_outputs
  - loop_var_exit_binding(): Get loop variable exit binding
- Unit tests: 6 test cases covering single/multi-carrier and error scenarios

**Features**:
- Supports both single and multi-carrier loop patterns
- Automatic post-loop ValueId allocation for carriers
- Sorted carrier processing for determinism
- Full integration with CarrierInfo and ExitMeta from Phase 193-2

**Status**: Phase 193-4 implementation complete. Ready for Phase 193-5 integration.

+# Phase 193-4: ExitBindingBuilder Design & Implementation
+
+**Phase**: 193-4
+**Status**: Design Phase
+**Date**: 2025-12-06
+**Goal**: Fully boxify loop exit binding generation for Pattern 3 & 4, eliminating hardcoded variable names and ValueId assumptions
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The ExitBindingBuilder box connects JoinIR exit values (from loop lowering) back to the host function's variable_map. This eliminates:
+- Hardcoded variable names like `"sum"`, `"printed"`
+- Assumptions about single-carrier patterns
+- Complex ValueId plumbing scattered across Pattern 3/4 lowerers
+
+### Architecture Diagram
+
+```
+Pattern Lowerer
+    ↓
+    ├─ CarrierInfo (loop_var, carriers[], host_ids)
+    ├─ ExitMeta (join_exit_values[])
+    └─ variable_map
+    ↓
+ExitBindingBuilder
+    ↓
+    ├─ LoopExitBinding[] (carrier → host mapping)
+    └─ JoinInlineBoundary update (host_outputs, join_outputs)
+    ↓
+Host function variable_map (updated with new ValueIds)
+```
+

+
+## Data Structures
+
+### Input: CarrierInfo
+
+```rust
+pub struct CarrierInfo {
+    pub loop_var_name: String,        // e.g., "i"
+    pub loop_var_id: ValueId,         // Host-side ValueId for loop var
+    pub carriers: Vec<CarrierVar>,    // [{ name: "sum", host_id: ValueId(10) }, ...]
+}
+
+pub struct CarrierVar {
+    pub name: String,                 // Variable name (e.g., "sum")
+    pub host_id: ValueId,             // Host-side ValueId (initial value)
+}
+```
+
+### Input: ExitMeta
+
+```rust
+pub struct ExitMeta {
+    pub exit_values: Vec<(String, ValueId)>,
+    // Example: [("sum", ValueId(15)), ("printed", ValueId(16))]
+    // where ValueId(15/16) are in JoinIR-local space (parameters/results)
+}
+```
+
+### Output: LoopExitBinding (New)
+
+```rust
+pub struct LoopExitBinding {
+    /// Carrier variable name (e.g., "sum", "printed")
+    pub carrier_name: String,
+
+    /// Host-side ValueId for this carrier
+    pub host_id: ValueId,
+
+    /// Join-side exit ValueId (from ExitMeta)
+    pub join_exit_id: ValueId,
+}
+```
+
+### JoinInlineBoundary Updates
+
+```rust
+pub struct JoinInlineBoundary {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+
+    /// Host-side output ValueIds (one per carrier + loop_var)
+    pub host_outputs: Vec<ValueId>,
+
+    /// Join-side output ValueIds (one per carrier + loop_var, in JoinIR space)
+    pub join_outputs: Vec<ValueId>,
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## API Design
+
+### ExitBindingBuilder
+
+```rust
+pub struct ExitBindingBuilder<'a> {
+    carrier_info: &'a CarrierInfo,
+    exit_meta: &'a ExitMeta,
+    variable_map: &'a mut HashMap<String, ValueId>,
+}
+
+impl<'a> ExitBindingBuilder<'a> {
+    /// Create a new builder from metadata
+    pub fn new(
+        carrier_info: &'a CarrierInfo,
+        exit_meta: &'a ExitMeta,
+        variable_map: &'a mut HashMap<String, ValueId>,
+    ) -> Result<Self, String>;
+
+    /// Generate loop exit bindings
+    ///
+    /// Returns one LoopExitBinding per carrier, in sorted order.
+    /// Updates variable_map with new post-loop ValueIds.
+    pub fn build_loop_exit_bindings(&mut self) -> Result<Vec<LoopExitBinding>, String>;
+
+    /// Apply bindings to JoinInlineBoundary
+    ///
+    /// Sets host_outputs and join_outputs based on loop_var + carriers.
+    /// Must be called after build_loop_exit_bindings().
+    pub fn apply_to_boundary(&self, boundary: &mut JoinInlineBoundary) -> Result<(), String>;
+
+    /// Get the updated loop_var exit binding (always first)
+    pub fn loop_var_exit_binding(&self) -> LoopExitBinding;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+### Single Carrier Case
+
+**Input Example**:
+```
+CarrierInfo {
+    loop_var_name: "i",
+    loop_var_id: ValueId(5),
+    carriers: [{ name: "sum", host_id: ValueId(10) }]
+}
+
+ExitMeta {
+    exit_values: [("sum", ValueId(15))]
+}
+
+variable_map: {"i": ValueId(5), "sum": ValueId(10)}
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```
+LoopExitBinding {
+    carrier_name: "sum",
+    host_id: ValueId(10),
+    join_exit_id: ValueId(15)
+}
+
+variable_map (updated): {"i": ValueId(5), "sum": ValueId(???)}  // NEW ValueId for post-loop sum
+```
+
+### Multiple Carrier Case
+
+**Input Example**:
+```
+CarrierInfo {
+    loop_var_name: "i",
+    loop_var_id: ValueId(5),
+    carriers: [
+        { name: "printed", host_id: ValueId(11) },
+        { name: "sum", host_id: ValueId(10) }
+    ]
+}
+
+ExitMeta {
+    exit_values: [
+        ("printed", ValueId(14)),
+        ("sum", ValueId(15))
+    ]
+}
+
+variable_map: {"i": ValueId(5), "sum": ValueId(10), "printed": ValueId(11)}
+```
+
+**Output**:
+```
+LoopExitBinding[
+    { carrier_name: "printed", host_id: ValueId(11), join_exit_id: ValueId(14) },
+    { carrier_name: "sum", host_id: ValueId(10), join_exit_id: ValueId(15) }
+]
+
+variable_map (updated):
+{
+    "i": ValueId(5),
+    "sum": ValueId(???),      // NEW post-loop ValueId
+    "printed": ValueId(???)   // NEW post-loop ValueId
+}
+```
+
+### Error Cases
+
+1. **Carrier name mismatch**: ExitMeta contains carrier name not in CarrierInfo
+   - Error: `"Exit carrier 'foo' not found in CarrierInfo"`
+
+2. **Missing carrier in ExitMeta**: CarrierInfo has carrier not in ExitMeta
+   - Error: `"Carrier 'sum' missing in ExitMeta"`
+
+3. **Loop variable in ExitMeta**: ExitMeta erroneously maps loop_var
+   - Error: `"Loop variable 'i' should not be in exit_values"`
+

+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### File Structure
+
+**New file**: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/exit_binding.rs`
+
+```rust
+use crate::mir::ValueId;
+use crate::mir::join_ir::JoinInlineBoundary;
+use crate::mir::join_ir::lowering::carrier_info::{CarrierInfo, ExitMeta};
+use std::collections::HashMap;
+
+pub struct LoopExitBinding { ... }
+
+pub struct ExitBindingBuilder<'a> { ... }
+
+impl<'a> ExitBindingBuilder<'a> {
+    pub fn new(...) -> Result<Self, String> { ... }
+    pub fn build_loop_exit_bindings(&mut self) -> Result<Vec<LoopExitBinding>, String> { ... }
+    pub fn apply_to_boundary(&self, boundary: &mut JoinInlineBoundary) -> Result<(), String> { ... }
+}
+```
+
+### Module Declaration
+
+Update `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/mod.rs`:
+
+```rust
+pub mod exit_binding;
+```
+
+### Integration Points
+
+**Pattern 3 & 4 Lowerers**:
+
+```rust
+// OLD: Direct boundary manipulation
+boundary.host_outputs.push(sum_value_id);
+boundary.join_outputs.push(join_sum_exit);
+variable_map.insert("sum".to_string(), new_sum_id);
+
+// NEW: Via ExitBindingBuilder
+let mut builder = ExitBindingBuilder::new(&carrier_info, &exit_meta, variable_map)?;
+let _bindings = builder.build_loop_exit_bindings()?;
+builder.apply_to_boundary(&mut boundary)?;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests (exit_binding.rs)
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_single_carrier_binding() { ... }
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_multi_carrier_binding() { ... }
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_carrier_name_mismatch_error() { ... }
+
+    #[test]
+    fn test_variable_map_update() { ... }
+}
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+**File**: `apps/tests/loop_continue_multi_carrier.hako`
+
+```hako
+static box Main {
+    main() {
+        local sum = 0
+        local printed = 0
+
+        loop(i = 0; i < 5; i = i + 1) {
+            if (i > 2) {
+                printed = printed + 1
+                continue
+            }
+            sum = sum + i
+        }
+
+        // Expected: sum = 0+1+2 = 3, printed = 2 (i=3,4)
+        print(sum)
+        print(printed)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Test command**:
+```bash
+NYASH_JOINIR_CORE=1 ./target/release/hakorune apps/tests/loop_continue_multi_carrier.hako
+# Expected output:
+# 3
+# 2
+```
+
+---
+
+## Tracking Variable Updates
+
+### variable_map lifecycle
+
+1. **Before loop lowering**: `{"i": ValueId(5), "sum": ValueId(10), "printed": ValueId(11)}`
+
+2. **After JoinModule creation**: (unchanged)
+
+3. **ExitBindingBuilder::build_loop_exit_bindings()**:
+   - Allocates new ValueIds for post-loop carrier values
+   - Updates variable_map: `{"i": ValueId(5), "sum": ValueId(??), "printed": ValueId(??)}`
+
+4. **After loop lowering**: variable_map reflects post-loop state
+
+### Debugging support
+
+Optional environment variable: `NYASH_TRACE_EXIT_BINDING=1`
+
+Output example:
+```
+[exit_binding] Carrier "sum": host_id=ValueId(10) → join_exit=ValueId(15) → post_loop=ValueId(23)
+[exit_binding] Carrier "printed": host_id=ValueId(11) → join_exit=ValueId(14) → post_loop=ValueId(24)
+[exit_binding] JoinInlineBoundary: host_outputs=[ValueId(5), ValueId(23), ValueId(24)]
+```
