+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Parallel Allocation
+- `ValueId` and `BindingId` allocate independently
+- `next_value_id()` → `value_gen.next()`
+- `allocate_binding_id()` → `next_binding_id++`
+
+### 2. BTreeMap for Determinism
+- `binding_map: BTreeMap<String, BindingId>` (not HashMap)
+- Consistent with Phase 25.1 determinism strategy
+
+### 3. Symmetric Restoration
+- `pop_lexical_scope()` restores both `variable_map` and `binding_map`
+- Prevents asymmetric bugs
+
+### 4. Overflow Protection
+- `debug_assert!` in `allocate_binding_id()` and `BindingId::next()`
+- Test only runs in debug builds (`#[cfg(debug_assertions)]`)
+
+---
+
+## What's Next: Phase 75
+
+### Pilot Integration Plan
+1. **Identify 1-2 files** for isolated BindingId usage
+2. **Add logging** (e.g., `NYASH_BINDING_TRACE=1`)
+3. **Validate behavior** unchanged via smoke tests
+4. **Document findings** for Phase 76 promotion
+
+### Candidate Components
+- `src/mir/builder/vars/` - Local variable tracking
+- `src/mir/builder/stmts.rs` - Statement lowering (shadowing-heavy)
+
+---
+

+# Phase 74: BindingId Infrastructure
+
+**Status**: ✅ Complete
+**Date**: 2025-12-13
+**Goal**: Establish BindingId infrastructure on main branch with zero production impact
+
+---
+
+## 1. Executive Summary
+
+Phase 74 establishes the **BindingId infrastructure** as a parallel identifier system to ValueId, enabling future ScopeManager migration (Phase 75+) without breaking existing SSA functionality.
+
+### Key Deliverables
+- ✅ `src/mir/binding_id.rs` - BindingId type definition with overflow protection
+- ✅ `src/mir/builder.rs` - Parallel allocation infrastructure (`allocate_binding_id()`)
+- ✅ `src/mir/builder/vars/lexical_scope.rs` - Shadowing restoration for BindingId
+- ✅ Unit tests (4 tests) - Initialization, sequential allocation, shadowing, parallel allocation
+- ✅ Documentation (~300 lines)
+
+### Acceptance Criteria
+- ✅ `cargo build --lib` succeeds (no production path changes)
+- ✅ `cargo test --release --lib` all tests pass (no regressions)
+- ✅ `cargo test --features normalized_dev --test normalized_joinir_min` passes
+- ✅ New unit tests validate BindingId behavior

+
+## 2. Architecture: ValueId vs BindingId
+
+### 2.1 Role Separation
+
+| Aspect | ValueId | BindingId |
+|--------|---------|-----------|
+| **Purpose** | SSA value identity | Lexical binding identity |
+| **Scope** | Single definition, multiple uses | Lexical scope lifetime |
+| **Renaming** | PHI nodes create new ValueIds | Stable across PHI transformations |
+| **Shadowing** | New ValueId per assignment | New BindingId per shadowing level |
+| **Restoration** | Managed by SSA/PHI | Managed by lexical scope stack |
+
+### 2.2 Parallel Allocation Example
+
+```rust
+// Outer scope: local x = 1;
+let outer_vid = builder.next_value_id();      // ValueId(10)
+let outer_bid = builder.allocate_binding_id(); // BindingId(0)
+builder.variable_map.insert("x", outer_vid);
+builder.binding_map.insert("x", outer_bid);
+
+// Inner scope: { local x = 2; }
+{
+    let inner_vid = builder.next_value_id();      // ValueId(20)
+    let inner_bid = builder.allocate_binding_id(); // BindingId(1)
+    builder.variable_map.insert("x", inner_vid);   // Shadows outer ValueId
+    builder.binding_map.insert("x", inner_bid);    // Shadows outer BindingId
+}
+// Scope exit: restore outer_vid and outer_bid
+```
+
+### 2.3 Why BindingId Matters
+
+**Problem**: ValueId alone cannot distinguish between:
+1. **SSA renaming** (PHI nodes merging values)
+2. **Lexical shadowing** (new variable declaration with same name)
+
+**Solution**: BindingId tracks the original lexical binding, enabling:
+- **Shadowing detection** - Different BindingIds for outer/inner `x`
+- **Scope restoration** - Restore correct BindingId on `}`
+- **Future ScopeManager** - Stable binding identity for advanced scope analysis
+
+---
+
+## 3. Implementation Details
+
+### 3.1 Core Data Structures
+
+#### `src/mir/binding_id.rs`
+```rust
+pub struct BindingId(pub u32);
+
+impl BindingId {
+    pub fn new(id: u32) -> Self { /* overflow check */ }
+    pub fn next(self) -> Self { /* sequential increment */ }
+    pub fn raw(self) -> u32 { /* get raw value */ }
+}
+```
+
+#### `src/mir/builder.rs` (MirBuilder fields)
+```rust
+pub struct MirBuilder {
+    // Existing ValueId infrastructure
+    value_gen: ValueIdGenerator,
+    variable_map: BTreeMap<String, ValueId>,
+
+    // Phase 74: Parallel BindingId infrastructure
+    pub next_binding_id: u32,
+    pub binding_map: BTreeMap<String, BindingId>,
+}
+```
+
+#### `src/mir/builder.rs` (Allocation method)
+```rust
+pub fn allocate_binding_id(&mut self) -> BindingId {
+    let id = BindingId::new(self.next_binding_id);
+    self.next_binding_id = self.next_binding_id.saturating_add(1);
+    debug_assert!(self.next_binding_id < u32::MAX, "overflow check");
+    id
+}
+```
+
+### 3.2 Lexical Scope Integration
+
+#### `src/mir/builder/vars/lexical_scope.rs`
+```rust
+pub struct LexicalScopeFrame {
+    declared: BTreeSet<String>,
+    restore: BTreeMap<String, Option<ValueId>>,
+    restore_binding: BTreeMap<String, Option<BindingId>>, // Phase 74
+}
+```
+
+**Scope exit logic** (`pop_lexical_scope()`):
+```rust
+// Restore ValueId mappings (existing)
+for (name, previous) in frame.restore {
+    match previous {
+        Some(prev_id) => self.variable_map.insert(name, prev_id),
+        None => self.variable_map.remove(&name),
+    };
+}
+
+// Phase 74: Restore BindingId mappings (parallel)
+for (name, previous_binding) in frame.restore_binding {
+    match previous_binding {
+        Some(prev_bid) => self.binding_map.insert(name, prev_bid),
+        None => self.binding_map.remove(&name),
+    };
+}
+```
+
+**Local declaration** (`declare_local_in_current_scope()`):
+```rust
+// Capture previous state (for restoration on scope exit)
+let previous = self.variable_map.get(name).copied();
+frame.restore.insert(name.to_string(), previous);
+
+let previous_binding = self.binding_map.get(name).copied();
+frame.restore_binding.insert(name.to_string(), previous_binding);
+
+// Allocate new ValueId and BindingId
+self.variable_map.insert(name.to_string(), value);
+let binding_id = self.allocate_binding_id();
+self.binding_map.insert(name.to_string(), binding_id);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. Test Strategy
+
+### 4.1 Unit Tests (src/mir/builder.rs)
+
+#### Test 1: Initialization
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_binding_map_initialization() {
+    let builder = MirBuilder::new();
+    assert_eq!(builder.next_binding_id, 0);
+    assert!(builder.binding_map.is_empty());
+}
+```
+**Validates**: Fresh builder starts with BindingId(0), empty binding_map.
+
+#### Test 2: Sequential Allocation
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_binding_allocation_sequential() {
+    let mut builder = MirBuilder::new();
+    let bid0 = builder.allocate_binding_id();
+    let bid1 = builder.allocate_binding_id();
+    let bid2 = builder.allocate_binding_id();
+
+    assert_eq!(bid0.raw(), 0);
+    assert_eq!(bid1.raw(), 1);
+    assert_eq!(bid2.raw(), 2);
+    assert_eq!(builder.next_binding_id, 3);
+}
+```
+**Validates**: Sequential BindingId allocation (0, 1, 2, ...).
+
+#### Test 3: Shadowing Restoration
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_shadowing_binding_restore() {
+    let mut builder = MirBuilder::new();
+    builder.push_lexical_scope();
+
+    // Outer x -> BindingId(0)
+    let outer_vid = builder.value_gen.next();
+    builder.declare_local_in_current_scope("x", outer_vid).unwrap();
+    let outer_bid = *builder.binding_map.get("x").unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(outer_bid.raw(), 0);
+
+    // Inner x -> BindingId(1)
+    builder.push_lexical_scope();
+    let inner_vid = builder.value_gen.next();
+    builder.declare_local_in_current_scope("x", inner_vid).unwrap();
+    let inner_bid = *builder.binding_map.get("x").unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(inner_bid.raw(), 1);
+
+    // Scope exit -> restore BindingId(0)
+    builder.pop_lexical_scope();
+    let restored_bid = *builder.binding_map.get("x").unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(restored_bid, outer_bid);
+}
+```
+**Validates**: Shadowing creates new BindingId, scope exit restores outer BindingId.
+
+#### Test 4: Parallel Allocation Independence
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn test_valueid_binding_parallel_allocation() {
+    let mut builder = MirBuilder::new();
+
+    let vid0 = builder.value_gen.next();  // ValueId(0)
+    let bid0 = builder.allocate_binding_id(); // BindingId(0)
+    let vid1 = builder.value_gen.next();  // ValueId(1)
+    let bid1 = builder.allocate_binding_id(); // BindingId(1)
+
+    assert_eq!(vid0.0, 0);
+    assert_eq!(bid0.raw(), 0);
+
+    // Allocate more ValueIds -> BindingId counter unaffected
+    let _ = builder.value_gen.next();
+    let _ = builder.value_gen.next();
+    let bid2 = builder.allocate_binding_id();
+    assert_eq!(bid2.raw(), 2); // Still sequential
+
+    // Allocate more BindingIds -> ValueId counter unaffected
+    let _ = builder.allocate_binding_id();
+    let _ = builder.allocate_binding_id();
+    let vid2 = builder.value_gen.next();
+    assert_eq!(vid2.0, 4); // Continues from where we left off
+}
+```
+**Validates**: ValueId and BindingId allocation are completely independent.
+
+### 4.2 Existing Smoke Tests
+
+Phase 74 is **infrastructure-only** - no production code uses BindingId yet.
+Existing smoke tests validate:
+- ✅ No regressions in ValueId allocation
+- ✅ Lexical scope restoration still works
+- ✅ Shadowing behavior unchanged
+
+---
+
+## 5. Next Steps (Phase 75+)
+
+### Phase 75: Pilot Integration
+- **Goal**: Use BindingId in a single isolated component (e.g., local variable tracking)
+- **Files**: Select 1-2 files to pilot BindingId usage (shadowing detection)
+- **Validation**: Smoke tests confirm behavior unchanged, BindingId logged correctly
+
+### Phase 76: Promotion
+- **Goal**: Expand BindingId usage to critical paths (ScopeManager migration)
+- **Files**: Migrate `declare_local_in_current_scope()` users to BindingId-aware APIs
+- **Validation**: Full regression suite + shadowing edge cases
+
+### Phase 77: Expansion
+- **Goal**: Complete BindingId integration across MirBuilder
+- **Files**: Replace remaining `variable_map.get()` calls with BindingId-aware equivalents
+- **Validation**: Production smoke tests, performance benchmarks
+
+---
+
+## 6. Migration Checklist
+
+### Phase 74 (Infrastructure) ✅
+- [x] `src/mir/binding_id.rs` created
+- [x] `src/mir/mod.rs` exports BindingId
+- [x] `MirBuilder` fields added (next_binding_id, binding_map)
+- [x] `allocate_binding_id()` method implemented
+- [x] Lexical scope restoration extended
+- [x] Unit tests written (4 tests)
+- [x] Documentation completed
+
+### Phase 75 (Pilot) - TODO
+- [ ] Identify 1-2 files for pilot integration
+- [ ] Add BindingId usage in isolated component
+- [ ] Smoke tests validate behavior unchanged
+- [ ] BindingId logging/debugging enabled
+
+### Phase 76 (Promotion) - TODO
+- [ ] Migrate ScopeManager to BindingId
+- [ ] Update `declare_local_in_current_scope()` callers
+- [ ] Full regression suite passes
+- [ ] Shadowing edge cases tested
+
+### Phase 77 (Expansion) - TODO
+- [ ] Replace `variable_map.get()` with BindingId-aware APIs
+- [ ] Production smoke tests pass
+- [ ] Performance benchmarks show no regressions
+- [ ] Documentation updated for public API
+
+---
+
+## 7. Risks and Mitigations
+
+### Risk 1: Forgotten Restoration
+**Issue**: Scope exit might forget to restore binding_map.
+**Mitigation**: Symmetric logic in `pop_lexical_scope()` (ValueId + BindingId both restored).
+
+### Risk 2: Allocation Divergence
+**Issue**: BindingId allocation might diverge from expected sequence.
+**Mitigation**: Unit test `test_binding_allocation_sequential()` validates monotonic increment.
+
+### Risk 3: Production Impact
+**Issue**: Infrastructure code might accidentally affect production paths.
+**Mitigation**: Phase 74 is **allocation-only** (no production code uses BindingId), smoke tests confirm zero impact.
+
+### Risk 4: Overflow
+**Issue**: BindingId counter might overflow.
+**Mitigation**: `debug_assert!` checks in `allocate_binding_id()` and `BindingId::next()`.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Conclusion
+
+Phase 74 establishes a **production-ready BindingId infrastructure** with:
+- ✅ **Zero production impact** (infrastructure-only, no behavior changes)
+- ✅ **Parallel allocation** (ValueId and BindingId independent)
+- ✅ **Scope restoration** (shadowing correctly handled)
+- ✅ **Full test coverage** (4 unit tests + existing smoke tests)
+
+**Ready for Phase 75 pilot integration** with confidence that the foundation is solid.

+ * BindingId - Lexical variable binding identity (Phase 74)
+ *
+ * Phase 74: BindingId Infrastructure
+ * Provides a parallel identifier system alongside ValueId for tracking
+ * lexical variable bindings independently from SSA values.
+ *
+ * ## What is a BindingId?
+ *
+ * A `BindingId` represents a unique lexical variable binding in the source code,
+ * separate from SSA `ValueId`s. While ValueId tracks SSA values that may be
+ * renamed through PHI nodes and shadowing, BindingId tracks the original
+ * variable binding identity.
+ *
+ * ### Relationship with ValueId
+ *
+ * - **ValueId**: SSA value identity (may change through PHI nodes, renaming)
+ * - **BindingId**: Lexical binding identity (stable across shadowing)
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * ```nyash
+ * local x = 1;      // BindingId(0), ValueId(10)
+ * {
+ *   local x = 2;    // BindingId(1), ValueId(20) <- new binding, shadows outer x
+ * }                  // BindingId(1) goes out of scope, restore BindingId(0)
+ * ```
+ *
+ * ### Relationship with Shadowing
+ *
+ * Shadowing creates a **new BindingId** for the inner scope:
+ * - Outer `x`: BindingId(0) -> ValueId(10)
+ * - Inner `x`: BindingId(1) -> ValueId(20)
+ *
+ * On scope exit, BindingId(1) is discarded and BindingId(0) is restored.
+ *
+ * ## Design Goals
+ *
+ * 1. **Parallel Allocation**: BindingId and ValueId allocate independently
+ * 2. **Zero Runtime Cost**: Infrastructure layer only, no production impact
+ * 3. **Incremental Adoption**: Can be added without changing existing behavior
+ * 4. **Future-Ready**: Supports Phase 75+ ScopeManager migration
