# Nyash Syntax Torture (10 minimal repros)
Date: 2025-09-16

Purpose: stress parser → AST → MIR(Core-13/PURE) → Interpreter/VM/LLVM(AOT) consistency.
Each test is **one phenomenon per file**, tiny and deterministic.

## How to run (suggested)
```
# 1) Run all modes and compare outputs
bash run_spec_smoke.sh

# 2) PURE mode (surface MIR violations):
NYASH_MIR_CORE13_PURE=1 bash run_spec_smoke.sh

# 3) Extra logging when a case fails:
NYASH_VM_STATS=1 NYASH_VM_STATS_JSON=1 NYASH_VM_DEBUG_BOXCALL=1 bash run_spec_smoke.sh
# For LLVM diagnostics (when applicable):
# NYASH_LLVM_VINVOKE_TRACE=1 NYASH_LLVM_VINVOKE_PREFER_I64=1 bash run_spec_smoke.sh
```

## Expected outputs (goldens)
We deliberately **print a single line** per test to make diffing trivial.
See inline comments in each `*.hako`.

10. 10_match_result_early_return.hako – early return vs. branch merge

## CI hint
- Add this suite **before** your self-host smokes:
  - `make spec-smoke` -> `make smoke-selfhost`
- Fail fast on any diff across Interpreter/VM/LLVM.
