# Phase 247-EX: DigitPos Dual-Value Architecture - IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE

**Date**: 2025-12-11
**Status**: ✅ **IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE** - All tests passing (931/931)
**Scope**: Dual-value carrier generation for DigitPos pattern - resolves Phase 246-EX _atoi NumberAccumulation failure

---

## 🎯 Problem Statement

**Phase 246-EX Discovery**: DigitPos promotion loses integer digit value needed for NumberAccumulation.

### Two Different Patterns

**Pattern A (_parse_number)**: ✅ Works with Phase 224
```nyash
loop(p < s.length()) {
    local ch = s.substring(p, p+1)
    local digit_pos = digits.indexOf(ch)

    if digit_pos < 0 { break }     // Only needs boolean (found/not found)

    num_str = num_str + ch          // Uses ch, NOT digit_pos
    p = p + 1
}
```

**Pattern B (_atoi)**: ❌ Failed with Phase 224 (bool only)
```nyash
loop(i < n) {
    local ch = s.substring(i, i+1)
    local pos = digits.indexOf(ch)

    if pos < 0 { break }            // Needs boolean (break condition)

    v = v * 10 + pos                // Needs INTEGER value for NumberAccumulation!
    i = i + 1
}
```

**Root Cause**: Phase 224 DigitPos promotion only generated boolean carrier (`is_digit_pos`), losing the integer digit value needed for accumulation.

---

## ✅ Solution: Dual-Value Model

**One Question → Two Outputs**:
```
indexOf(ch) → -1 or 0-9
  ↓ (DigitPosPromoter Phase 247-EX)

Output A: is_digit_pos (boolean)  ← Break condition: "Is ch in digits?"
Output B: digit_value (integer)   ← Accumulation: "What digit value?"
```

### Naming Convention

**Phase 247-EX naming** (Design Option A - Separate naming):
```
"digit_pos" → "is_digit_pos" (boolean) + "digit_value" (integer)
"pos"       → "is_pos" (boolean)       + "pos_value" (integer)
```

**Base name extraction**: `"digit_pos"` → `"digit"` (remove `"_pos"` suffix) → `"digit_value"`

---

## 📦 Implementation Details

### 1. DigitPosPromoter Extension

**File**: `src/mir/loop_pattern_detection/loop_body_digitpos_promoter.rs`

**Changes**:
- Generate **two carriers** instead of one
- Carrier 1: `is_<var>` (boolean, ConditionOnly role)
- Carrier 2: `<base>_value` (integer, LoopState role)
- Base name extraction: remove `_pos` suffix

**Code**:
```rust
// Boolean carrier (condition-only, for break)
let promoted_carrier_bool = CarrierVar {
    name: format!("is_{}", var_in_cond),
    role: CarrierRole::ConditionOnly,
    init: CarrierInit::BoolConst(false),
    // ...
};

// Integer carrier (loop-state, for NumberAccumulation)
let base_name = if var_in_cond.ends_with("_pos") {
    &var_in_cond[..var_in_cond.len() - 4]
} else {
    var_in_cond.as_str()
};
let promoted_carrier_int = CarrierVar {
    name: format!("{}_value", base_name),
    role: CarrierRole::LoopState,
    init: CarrierInit::FromHost,
    // ...
};

carrier_info.carriers = vec![promoted_carrier_bool, promoted_carrier_int];
```

### 2. UpdateEnv Resolution Logic

**File**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/update_env.rs`

**Changes**:
- Added `promoted_loopbodylocals: &'a [String]` field
- Enhanced `resolve()` method with promoted variable logic
- Resolution priority:
  1. Try `<base>_value` (integer carrier)
  2. Fall back to `is_<var>` (boolean carrier, rare in updates)
  3. Standard resolution

**Code**:
```rust
pub fn resolve(&self, name: &str) -> Option<ValueId> {
    if self.promoted_loopbodylocals.iter().any(|v| v == name) {
        // Extract base name: "digit_pos" → "digit"
        let base_name = if name.ends_with("_pos") {
            &name[..name.len() - 4]
        } else {
            name
        };

        // Try <base>_value (integer carrier for NumberAccumulation)
        let int_carrier_name = format!("{}_value", base_name);
        if let Some(value_id) = self.condition_env.get(&int_carrier_name) {
            return Some(value_id);
        }

        // Fall back to is_<name> (boolean carrier)
        let bool_carrier_name = format!("is_{}", name);
        if let Some(value_id) = self.condition_env.get(&bool_carrier_name) {
            return Some(value_id);
        }
    }

    // Standard resolution
    self.condition_env.get(name).or_else(|| self.body_local_env.get(name))
}
```

### 3. Call Site Updates

**File**: `src/mir/join_ir/lowering/loop_with_break_minimal.rs`

**Change**: Pass `promoted_loopbodylocals` to UpdateEnv constructor:
```rust
let update_env = UpdateEnv::new(env, body_env, &carrier_info.promoted_loopbodylocals);
```

## 🧪 Testing

## 🏗️ Architecture Principles

### Box-First Design

**Single Responsibility**:
- **DigitPosPromoter**: Detects indexOf patterns, generates dual carriers
- **UpdateEnv**: Resolves variables with context-aware promoted logic
- **ConditionEnv**: Stores carrier ValueIds
- **CarrierUpdateEmitter**: Emits JoinIR using resolved ValueIds

**Fail-Safe**:
- Unused carriers (e.g., `digit_value` in _parse_number) are harmless
- Resolution failures logged with warnings
- Falls back to boolean carrier if integer carrier missing

**Boundary Clarity**:
```
Input:  digit_pos = indexOf(ch)  (AST)
  ↓ DigitPosPromoter
Output: is_digit_pos (bool) + digit_value (int)  (CarrierInfo)
  ↓ Pattern2 lowerer → ConditionEnv stores both carriers
  ↓ UpdateEnv resolves
Break:  digit_pos → is_digit_pos (bool, via DigitPosConditionNormalizer)
Update: digit_pos → digit_value (int, via UpdateEnv promoted logic)
```
