Key updates:
- Document MIR 26→15 instruction reduction plan (transitioning status)
- Add Core-15 target instruction set in INSTRUCTION_SET.md
- Save AI conference analyses validating Box Theory and 15-instruction design
- Create MIR annotation system proposal for optimization hints
- Update SKIP_PHASE_10_DECISION.md with LLVM direct migration rationale
Technical insights:
- RefNew/RefGet/RefSet can be eliminated through Box unification
- GC/sync/async all achievable with 15 core instructions
- BoxCall lowering can automatically insert GC barriers
- 2-3x performance improvement expected with LLVM
- Build time reduction 50%, binary size reduction 40%
Status: Design complete, implementation pending
Major Interpreter Refactoring:
- Split core.rs (373 lines removed) into focused modules
- Split expressions/calls.rs (460 lines removed) into cleaner structure
- Added new modules: calls.rs, errors.rs, eval.rs, methods_dispatch.rs, state.rs
- Improved separation of concerns across interpreter components
P2PBox Enhancements:
- Added on_once() for one-time event handlers
- Added off() for handler deregistration
- Implemented handler flags with AtomicBool for thread-safe management
- Added loopback testing cache (last_from, last_intent_name)
- Improved Arc-based state sharing for transport and handlers
Plugin Loader Unification (In Progress):
- Created plugin_loader_unified.rs skeleton
- Created plugin_ffi_common.rs for shared FFI utilities
- Migration plan documented (2400 lines → 1100 lines target)
MIR & VM Improvements:
- Enhanced modularized MIR builder structure
- Added BoxCall dispatch improvements
- Better separation in builder modules
Documentation Updates:
- Added Phase 9.79a unified box dispatch plan
- Created plugin loader migration plan
- Updated CURRENT_TASK.md with latest progress
All tests passing (180 tests) - ready for next phase of refactoring
