 # Current Task
 
+## ✅ Phase 191: Loop Pattern Router Table化 & Cleanup (Completed - 2025-12-06)
+
+**Status**: ✅ **Already Complete** - Router Table Already Implemented!
+
+**Key Discovery**: Task 191-1で現状を棚卸ししたところ、Phase 191の目標は既に完全に実装されていることが判明。Pattern 1～4が `LOOP_PATTERNS` 静的テーブル経由で統一的にルーティングされている。
+
+### What Was Found
+
+✅ **Router Table Implementation Complete**
+- File: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/router.rs`
+- Table: `LOOP_PATTERNS` - Static table with 4 patterns (Priority 5, 10, 20, 30)
+- Function: `route_loop_pattern()` - Table-driven dispatch (first match wins)
+- Structure: `LoopPatternEntry { name, priority, detect, lower }`
+
+✅ **Pattern Structure Unified**
+- All 4 patterns follow consistent signature:
+  - `can_lower(builder, ctx) -> bool` (detection)
+  - `lower(builder, ctx) -> Result<Option<ValueId>>` (lowering)
+
+✅ **Integration Complete**
+- Flow: `cf_loop` → `try_cf_loop_joinir` → `cf_loop_joinir_impl` → `route_loop_pattern`
+- Context: `LoopPatternContext` with auto-detected `has_continue` / `has_break` from AST
+
+### Current Architecture
+
+**Three-Box SSOT Design** (Structure-Based Future):
+```
+LoopFeatures (extract_features) → Classifier (classify) → Router (route_loop_pattern)
+```
+
+**Router Table** (Already Implemented):
+```rust
+LOOP_PATTERNS: [
+  Pattern4_WithContinue (priority=5, structure-based),
+  Pattern1_Minimal (priority=10, name-based*),
+  Pattern2_WithBreak (priority=20, name-based*),
+  Pattern3_WithIfPhi (priority=30, name-based*)
+]
+*Phase 194+: Migrate to structure-based detection
+```
+
+### Pattern Addition Guide
+
+To add Pattern 5:
+1. Create `pattern5_your_name.rs` with `can_lower()` + `lower()`
+2. Add to `mod.rs`
+3. Add entry to `LOOP_PATTERNS` table
+
+**No routing logic changes needed!**
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# All patterns tested and working
+./target/release/hakorune apps/tests/loop_min_while.hako  # Pattern 1
+./target/release/hakorune apps/tests/joinir_min_loop.hako  # Pattern 2
+./target/release/hakorune apps/tests/loop_if_phi.hako      # Pattern 3
+./target/release/hakorune apps/tests/loop_continue_pattern4.hako  # Pattern 4
+```

+- `docs/private/roadmap2/phases/phase-191-loop-pattern-router/routing-flow-diagram.md` - Visual flow diagrams
+
+### Next Steps
+
+Phase 191 is complete. Future work:
+- **Phase 192+**: Migrate Pattern 1-3 from name-based to structure-based detection
+- **Phase 194+**: Full structure-based classification using `loop_pattern_detection.rs`
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Phase 192: Loop Pattern Structure-Based Detection (Completed - 2025-12-06)
+
+**Status**: ✅ Pattern 1–4 are now detected purely by loop structure (AST features), not by function names or ad-hoc heuristics.
+
+**Goal**: Remove name-based routing for JoinIR loop patterns and unify detection via a single feature-extraction + classifier pipeline.
+
+### What Changed
+
+- **LoopFeatures + classify() wired into the router**
+  - File: `src/mir/loop_pattern_detection.rs`
+    - `LoopFeatures` extended with `has_break`, `has_continue`, `has_if`, `has_if_else_phi`, `carrier_count`, `break_count`, `continue_count`.
+    - `classify(&LoopFeatures) -> LoopPatternKind` now returns:
+      - `Pattern1SimpleWhile`
+      - `Pattern2Break`
+      - `Pattern3IfPhi`
+      - `Pattern4Continue`
+  - File: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/router.rs`
+    - `LoopPatternContext::new()` now:
+      - Scans the AST body for `Continue` / `Break` (`detect_continue_in_ast`, `detect_break_in_ast`).
+      - Calls `extract_features_from_ast()` to build `LoopFeatures`.
+      - Calls `classify(&features)` to compute `pattern_kind`.
+
+- **Structure-based detectors**
+  - `extract_features_from_ast(body, has_continue, has_break)`:
+    - `detect_if_else_phi_in_ast`: finds `if { assign(..) } else { assign(..) }` in the loop body.
+    - `count_carriers_in_ast`: counts assignments as a proxy for carrier variables.
+  - Pattern detection is now:
+    - Pattern 4 (continue): `pattern_kind == Pattern4Continue`
+    - Pattern 3 (if-else PHI): `pattern_kind == Pattern3IfPhi`
+    - Pattern 1 (simple while): `pattern_kind == Pattern1SimpleWhile`
+    - Pattern 2 (break): `pattern_kind == Pattern2Break`
+
+- **Router table updated to use structure-based detection**
+  - File: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/router.rs`
+  - `LOOP_PATTERNS` entries now rely only on `ctx.pattern_kind`; `func_name` is used for debug logging only.
+  - All four patterns (`pattern1_minimal`, `pattern2_with_break`, `pattern3_with_if_phi`, `pattern4_with_continue`) expose:
+    - `can_lower(builder, &LoopPatternContext)` → checks `ctx.pattern_kind`.
+    - `lower(builder, &LoopPatternContext)` → unchanged lowering logic.
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+- **Name-based hacks removed**
+  - Earlier phases used conditions like `func_name == "main"` and `"sum"` variable presence to decide patterns.
+  - These heuristics are now gone; routing depends only on loop structure (if/break/continue and assignments).
+
+- **Future patterns are easier to add**
+  - New patterns only need:
+    - A `LoopFeatures` / `LoopPatternKind` combination.
+    - A `can_lower` + `lower` pair.
+    - An entry in `LOOP_PATTERNS`.
+  - Router logic itself remains unchanged (table-driven).
+
+### Testing
+
+All four loop patterns are confirmed to route via structure-based detection and lower via JoinIR-only paths:
+
+- Pattern 1 – Simple While:
+  - `apps/tests/loop_min_while.hako`
+  - Output: `0, 1, 2`
+- Pattern 2 – Loop with Break:
+  - `apps/tests/joinir_min_loop.hako`
+  - Exit code / behavior: ✅ as before
+- Pattern 3 – Loop with If-Else PHI:
+  - `apps/tests/loop_if_phi.hako`
+  - Output: `sum = 9`
+- Pattern 4 – Loop with Continue:
+  - `apps/tests/loop_continue_pattern4.hako`
+  - Output: `25`
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Phase 192 is primarily an internal routing/detection refactor; code changes are documented inline:
+  - `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/router.rs` (doc comments on `LoopPatternContext` and `LOOP_PATTERNS`)
+  - `src/mir/loop_pattern_detection.rs` (classification rules)
+- This CURRENT_TASK section captures the high-level intent and status.
+
+### Next Steps
+
+- Phase 193+: Extend `LoopFeatures` / `LoopPatternKind` for additional patterns (nested loops, multi-carrier loops).
+- Phase 194+: Consider moving more logic into `LoopScopeShape` so that AST-based and LoopForm-based detection stay consistent.

+# Phase 192: Loop Pattern Structure-Based Detection
+
+**Status**: Completed – 2025-12-06  
+**Scope**: JoinIR loop patterns 1–4 (Simple While / Break / If-Else PHI / Continue)
+
+---
+
+## 1. Goal
+
+Replace ad-hoc, name-based loop pattern detection with a single, structure-based pipeline so that:
+
+- Pattern routing depends only on loop structure (if/break/continue, assignments), not function names or variable names.
+- New patterns can be added by extending a classifier table instead of scattering `if func_name == "main"` checks.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Architecture
+
+The router now follows a three-step pipeline:
+
+```text
+AST (condition, body)
+    ↓ extract_features_from_ast
+LoopFeatures { has_break, has_continue, has_if_else_phi, carrier_count, ... }
+    ↓ classify(&LoopFeatures)
+LoopPatternKind::{Pattern1SimpleWhile, Pattern2Break, Pattern3IfPhi, Pattern4Continue}
+    ↓ LOOP_PATTERNS table
+LoopPatternEntry::lower(builder, &LoopPatternContext)
+```
+
+Key types:
+
+- `LoopFeatures` – structural features of the loop body
+- `LoopPatternKind` – classifier output enum
+- `LoopPatternContext` – carries AST + features + pattern_kind to the lowerers
+
+---
+
+## 3. Implementation Notes
+
+Files:
+
+- `src/mir/loop_pattern_detection.rs`
+  - Extended `LoopFeatures` with:
+    - `has_break`, `has_continue`
+    - `has_if`, `has_if_else_phi`
+    - `carrier_count`, `break_count`, `continue_count`
+  - `pub fn classify(features: &LoopFeatures) -> LoopPatternKind`
+    - `Pattern1SimpleWhile`
+    - `Pattern2Break`
+    - `Pattern3IfPhi`
+    - `Pattern4Continue`
+
+- `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/router.rs`
+  - `LoopPatternContext::new(condition, body, func_name, debug)`:
+    - Scans AST for `Continue` / `Break` (`detect_continue_in_ast`, `detect_break_in_ast`)
+    - Calls `extract_features_from_ast` to build `LoopFeatures`
+    - Calls `classify(&features)` to compute `pattern_kind`
+  - `LOOP_PATTERNS` table:
+    - Entries now rely on `ctx.pattern_kind`; `func_name` is used only for debug logging.
+
+Detection rules (conceptual):
+
+- Pattern 4 (Continue): `has_continue && !has_break`
+- Pattern 3 (If-Else PHI): `has_if_else_phi && !has_break && !has_continue`
+- Pattern 1 (Simple While): `!has_break && !has_continue && !has_if_else_phi`
+- Pattern 2 (Break): `has_break && !has_continue`
+
+Each pattern exposes:
+
+```rust
+pub fn can_lower(builder: &MirBuilder, ctx: &LoopPatternContext) -> bool;
+pub fn lower(builder: &mut MirBuilder, ctx: &LoopPatternContext) -> Result<Option<ValueId>, String>;
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Behavioural Results
+
+With structure-based detection in place, all four representative tests route and lower via JoinIR-only paths:
+
+- Pattern 1 – Simple While
+  - `apps/tests/loop_min_while.hako`
+  - Output: `0, 1, 2`
+
+- Pattern 2 – Loop with Break
+  - `apps/tests/joinir_min_loop.hako`
+
+- Pattern 3 – Loop with If-Else PHI
+  - `apps/tests/loop_if_phi.hako`
+  - Output: `sum = 9`
+
+- Pattern 4 – Loop with Continue
+  - `apps/tests/loop_continue_pattern4.hako`
+  - Output: `25`
+
+No pattern depends on function names (e.g. `"main"`) or specific variable names (e.g. `"sum"`) any more.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Future Work
+
+- Extend `LoopFeatures` / `LoopPatternKind` for:
+  - Nested loops
+  - Multiple carrier variables
+  - More complex continue/break combinations
+- Align LoopForm/LoopScopeShape-based detection with this AST-based pipeline so both views are consistent.

+[joinir/meta]   Block BasicBlockId(5): X instructions (1 PHI)
+```
+- Pattern 3: 5 instructions (1 PHI)
+- Pattern 4: 3 instructions (1 PHI)
+
+---
+
+## 2. Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Hypothesis: Block Overwrite in instruction_rewriter.rs
+
+**Location**: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/merge/instruction_rewriter.rs:92`
+
+**Problem Code**:
+```rust
+for (old_block_id, old_block) in blocks_merge {
+    let new_block_id = remapper.get_block(func_name, *old_block_id)...;
+    let mut new_block = BasicBlock::new(new_block_id);  // ← ALWAYS CREATES FRESH BLOCK!
+    // ... copy instructions from old_block ...
+    current_func.add_block(new_block);  // line 365
+}
+```
+
+**Why This Fails**:
+1. `handle_select()` creates bb10 (BasicBlockId → bb10) with PHI instruction
+2. Later, merge phase processes JoinIR's BasicBlockId(5) which also maps to bb10
+3. `BasicBlock::new(new_block_id)` creates FRESH block, discarding existing PHI
+4. `add_block()` overwrites the block in HashMap
+
+## 3. Recommended Fix
+
+### Step 1: Add Debug Logging (Verification)
+
+Add to `instruction_rewriter.rs` around line 87:
+
+```rust
+for (old_block_id, old_block) in blocks_merge {
+    let new_block_id = remapper.get_block(func_name, *old_block_id)...;
+
+    // DEBUG: Check if block already exists
+    if let Some(ref current_func) = builder.current_function {
+        if let Some(existing) = current_func.blocks.get(&new_block_id) {
+            let phi_count = existing.instructions.iter()
+                .filter(|i| matches!(i, MirInstruction::Phi{..}))
+                .count();
+            eprintln!("[cf_loop/joinir] 🚨 Block {:?} ALREADY EXISTS: {} inst, {} PHI",
+                new_block_id, existing.instructions.len(), phi_count);
+        }
+    }
+
+    let mut new_block = BasicBlock::new(new_block_id);  // ← This OVERWRITES!
+```
+
+### Step 2: Preserve Existing Blocks (RECOMMENDED FIX)
+
+**Modify line 92** in `instruction_rewriter.rs`:
+
+```rust
+// OLD: Always creates fresh block (loses existing PHI!)
+let mut new_block = BasicBlock::new(new_block_id);
+
+// NEW: Preserve existing block if present
+let mut new_block = if let Some(ref mut current_func) = builder.current_function {
+    // Remove and reuse existing block (preserves PHI!)
+    current_func.blocks.remove(&new_block_id)
+        .unwrap_or_else(|| BasicBlock::new(new_block_id))
+} else {
+    BasicBlock::new(new_block_id)
+};
+```
+
+**Why This Works**:
+- If bb10 was created by `handle_select()` with PHI, we **retrieve and reuse** it
+- New instructions from JoinIR merge are **appended** to existing instructions
+- PHI instruction at the beginning of bb10 is **preserved**
+
+### Step 3: Alternative - Check add_block() Logic
+
+If Step 2 doesn't work, check `MirFunction::add_block()` implementation:
+
+```rust
+// If this uses .insert(), it will OVERWRITE existing blocks!
+pub fn add_block(&mut self, block: BasicBlock) {
+    self.blocks.insert(block.id, block);  // ← HashMap::insert overwrites!
+}
+
+// Should be:
+pub fn add_block(&mut self, block: BasicBlock) {
+    if let Some(existing) = self.blocks.get_mut(&block.id) {
+        // Merge: prepend existing PHI, append new instructions

+# JoinIR→MIR Merge Processing PHI Loss Analysis
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Problem**: Pattern 4 (loop_continue_pattern4.hako) loses PHI instructions during JoinIR→MIR merge, while Pattern 3 (loop_if_phi.hako) preserves them correctly.
+
+**Critical Finding**: Both patterns successfully create PHI instructions during JoinIR→MIR conversion, but Pattern 4's PHI disappears during the merge phase.
+
+## Test Cases
+
+### Pattern 3: loop_if_phi.hako ✅ PHI Preserved
+```nyash
+loop(i <= 5) {
+  if (i % 2 == 1) { sum = sum + i } else { sum = sum + 0 }
+  i = i + 1
+}
+```
+
+**Lowerer**: `loop_with_if_phi_minimal.rs`
+**JoinIR**: Uses `Select` instruction for if-else PHI in loop body
+
+### Pattern 4: loop_continue_pattern4.hako ❌ PHI Lost
+```nyash
+loop(i < 10) {
+  i = i + 1
+  if (i % 2 == 0) { continue }
+  sum = sum + i
+}
+```
+
+**Lowerer**: `loop_with_continue_minimal.rs`
+**JoinIR**: Uses `Select` instruction for continue vs. normal path (line 304)
+
+## PHI Creation Phase (JoinIR→MIR Conversion)
+
+### Pattern 3 - Select→PHI Conversion ✅
+```
+[joinir_block/handle_select] Created merge_block BasicBlockId(5) with 1 instructions
+[joinir_block/handle_select] After insert: merge_block BasicBlockId(5) has 1 instructions
+[joinir_block/finalize_block] Preserving 1 PHI instructions in block BasicBlockId(5)
+[joinir/meta]   Block BasicBlockId(5): 5 instructions (1 PHI)
+```
+
+**Result**: `%23 = phi [%20, bb8], [%22, bb9]` appears in final MIR bb10
+
+### Pattern 4 - Select→PHI Conversion ✅
+```
+[joinir_block/handle_select] Created merge_block BasicBlockId(5) with 1 instructions
+[joinir_block/handle_select] After insert: merge_block BasicBlockId(5) has 1 instructions
+[joinir_block/finalize_block] Preserving 1 PHI instructions in block BasicBlockId(5)
+[joinir/meta]   Block BasicBlockId(5): 3 instructions (1 PHI)
+```
+
+**Result**: PHI is created but does **NOT** appear in final MIR bb10!
+
+## Key Difference: Instruction Count
+
+- **Pattern 3**: BasicBlockId(5) has **5 instructions** (1 PHI + 4 others)
+- **Pattern 4**: BasicBlockId(5) has **3 instructions** (1 PHI + 2 others)
+
+## Final MIR Comparison
+
+### Pattern 3 - bb10 (from BasicBlockId(5))
+```mir
+bb10:
+    1: %23 = phi [%20, bb8], [%22, bb9]  ← PHI PRESENT ✅
+    1: %24 = const 1
+    1: %25 = %11 Add %24
+    1: %11 = copy %25
+    1: %12 = copy %23
+    1: br label bb5
+```
+
+### Pattern 4 - bb10 (from BasicBlockId(5))
+```mir
+bb10:
+    1: %8 = copy %14                     ← NO PHI! ❌
+    1: br label bb5
+```
+
+## Hypothesis: Merge Processing Difference
+
+The merge processing in `instruction_rewriter.rs` (lines 117-213) should handle PHI instructions correctly:
+
+```rust
+for inst in &old_block.instructions {
+    // ... skip conditions ...
+
+    let remapped = remapper.remap_instruction(inst);
+
+    let remapped_with_blocks = match remapped {
+        MirInstruction::Phi { dst, inputs, type_hint: None } => {
+            // PHI block remapping (lines 183-196)
+            MirInstruction::Phi {
+                dst,
+                inputs: inputs.iter()
+                    .map(|(bb, val)| (local_block_map.get(bb).copied().unwrap_or(*bb), *val))
+                    .collect(),
+                type_hint: None,
+            }
+        }
+        other => other,
+    };
+
+    new_block.instructions.push(remapped_with_blocks);  // Line 212
+}
+```
+
+## Possible Causes
+
+### Theory 1: Block Replacement
+- Pattern 4's bb10 might be getting **completely replaced** instead of merged
+- Check if `finalize_block()` in `joinir_block_converter.rs` (lines 691-727) is being called differently
+
+### Theory 2: Tail Call Handling
+- Pattern 4 has a tail call that might trigger different merge logic
+- The tail call detection (lines 146-167) might affect how blocks are merged
+- Pattern 3 may not have a tail call in the same position
+
+### Theory 3: Return Conversion
+- BasicBlockId(5) has terminator `Return { value: Some(ValueId(99991)) }`
+- This gets converted to `Jump` to exit block (lines 302-320)
+- Something in this conversion might be dropping instructions
+
+### Theory 4: Block Overwrite
+- Pattern 4's shorter instruction count (3 vs 5) suggests instructions are being lost
+- Check if the merge process overwrites the block instead of preserving PHI
+
+## Investigation Path
+
+1. **Enable debug output** for instruction_rewriter.rs merge processing
+2. **Check finalize_block calls** - are they different between patterns?
+3. **Trace BasicBlockId(5)** - what happens to it during merge?
+4. **Compare Return terminator handling** - does the conversion lose instructions?
+5. **Check local_block_map** - is BasicBlockId(5) being mapped correctly?
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Add detailed logging to `instruction_rewriter.rs` around line 122-213
+2. Trace the exact path Pattern 4's BasicBlockId(5) takes during merge
+3. Compare with Pattern 3's path to find the divergence point
+4. Check if the problem is in the initial block creation or later overwriting
+
+## Code Locations
+
+- JoinIR Block Converter: `src/mir/join_ir_vm_bridge/joinir_block_converter.rs`
+  - `handle_select()`: lines 407-484 (creates PHI)
+  - `finalize_block()`: lines 691-727 (preserves existing PHI)
+- Merge Processing: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/merge/instruction_rewriter.rs`
+  - `merge_and_rewrite()`: lines 18-405
+  - PHI remapping: lines 183-196
+- Pattern Lowerers:
+  - Pattern 3: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/loop_with_if_phi_minimal.rs`
+  - Pattern 4: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/loop_with_continue_minimal.rs` (Select at line 304)
+
+## Expected Outcome
+
+Pattern 4's bb10 should contain:
+```mir
+bb10:
+    1: %XX = phi [%YY, bb8], [%ZZ, bb9]  ← Missing PHI!
+    1: %8 = copy %14
+    1: br label bb5
+```
+
+The PHI instruction for `sum_merged = Select(continue_cond, sum_param, sum_next)` (line 304 in loop_with_continue_minimal.rs) is being lost during merge.

+//! Phase 193: AST Feature Extractor Box
+//!
+//! Modularized feature extraction from loop AST nodes.
+//! Separated from router.rs to improve reusability and testability.
+//!
+//! This module provides pure functions for analyzing loop body AST to determine
+//! structural characteristics (break/continue presence, if-else PHI patterns, carrier counts).
+//!
+//! # Design Philosophy
+//!
+//! - **Pure functions**: No side effects, only AST analysis
+//! - **High reusability**: Used by router, future Pattern 5/6, and pattern analysis tools
+//! - **Independent testability**: Can be unit tested without MirBuilder context
+//! - **Extension-friendly**: Easy to add new feature detection methods
