Major structural improvement driven by ChatGPT 5 Pro analysis:
- Replace all direct vmap access with Resolver API calls
- Add proper cursor/bb_map/preds/block_end_values to all instruction handlers
- Ensure dominance safety by localizing values through Resolver
- Fix parameter passing in invoke/fields/extern handlers
Key changes:
- boxcall: Use resolver.resolve_i64/ptr instead of direct vmap access
- strings: Remove unused recv_v parameter, use Resolver throughout
- invoke: Add missing context parameters for proper PHI handling
- fields: Add resolver and block context parameters
- flow/arith/maps: Consistent Resolver usage pattern
This addresses the "structural invariant" requirements:
1. All value fetching goes through Resolver (no direct vmap.get)
2. Localization happens at BB boundaries via Resolver
3. Better preparation for PHI-only-in-dispatch pattern
Next: Consider boxing excessive parameters (15+ args in some functions)

PHI type coercion and core-first routing fixes:
- Auto type conversion for PHI nodes (i64↔i8*↔i1↔f64)
- Fixed ArrayBox.get misrouting to Map path
- Core-first strategy for Array/Map creation
- Added comprehensive debug logging ([PHI], [ARR], [MAP])
Results:
✅ Array smoke test: 'Result: 3'
✅ Map smoke test: 'Map: v=42, size=1'
After 34+ minutes of battling Rust lifetime errors,
ChatGPT5 achieved a major breakthrough\!
Key insight: The bug wasn't in PHI/SSA logic but in
Box type routing - ArrayBox.get was incorrectly caught
by Map fallback due to missing annotations.
We're SO CLOSE to Nyash self-hosting paradise\! 🌟
Once this stabilizes, everything can be written in
simple, beautiful Nyash code instead of Rust complexity.
ChatGPT5 struggling for 34+ minutes with Rust lifetime/build errors...
This perfectly illustrates why we need Phase 22 (Nyash LLVM compiler)\!
Key insights:
- 'Rust is safe and beautiful' - Gemini (who never fought lifetime errors)
- Reality: 500-line error messages, 34min debug sessions, lifetime hell
- C would just work: void* compile(void* mir) { done; }
- Python would work: 100 lines with llvmlite
- ANY language with C ABI would work\!
The frustration is real:
- We're SO CLOSE to Nyash self-hosting paradise
- Once bootstrapped, EVERYTHING can be written in Nyash
- No more Rust complexity, no more 5-7min builds
- Just simple, beautiful Box-based code
Current status:
- PHI/SSA hardening in progress (ChatGPT5)
- 'phi incoming value missing' in Main.esc_json/1
- Sealed SSA approach being implemented
The dream is near: Everything is Box, even the compiler\! 🌟
