## Your 5 Questions - Direct Answers

### Q1: Where exactly should LoopHeaderPhiBuilder::build() be called?
**Location**: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/merge/mod.rs`, line 107
**When**: Between Phase 3 (remap_values) and Phase 4 (instruction_rewriter)
**Why**: Phase 3.5 allocates PHI dsts before instruction_rewriter needs them
**Details**: [phase33-16-qa.md#q1](phase33-16-qa.md#q1-where-exactly-should-loopheaderphibuilderbuilld-be-called)

### Q2: How do I get the header_block_id (loop_step's entry block after remapping)?
**Code**: `remapper.get_block(entry_func_name, entry_func.entry_block)?`
**Key**: Entry block is the loop header for Pattern 2
**Details**: [phase33-16-qa.md#q2](phase33-16-qa.md#q2-how-do-i-get-the-header_block_id-loops-entry-block-after-remapping)

### Q3: How do I get the loop variable's initial value (host-side)?
**Code**: `remapper.get_value(ValueId(0))?`
**Key**: ValueId(0) is always the loop parameter in JoinIR space
**Details**: [phase33-16-qa.md#q3](phase33-16-qa.md#q3-how-do-i-get-the-loop-variables-initial-value-host-side)

### Q4: Where should instruction_rewriter record latch_incoming?
**Location**: `src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/merge/instruction_rewriter.rs`, ~line 300
**When**: In tail call section, after parameter bindings
**Code**: `loop_header_phi_info.set_latch_incoming(loop_var_name, target_block, latch_value)`
**Details**: [phase33-16-qa.md#q4](phase33-16-qa.md#q4-where-should-instruction_rewriter-record-latch_incoming)

### Q5: Should the Phase 33-15 skip logic be removed or modified?
**Answer**: **Modify, NOT remove**
**Strategy**: Use header PHI dst when available, fallback to parameter
**Details**: [phase33-16-qa.md#q5](phase33-16-qa.md#q5-should-the-phase-33-15-skip-logic-be-removed-or-modified-to-use-header-phi-dst)

## Testing Checklist

Before implementation:
- [ ] Review phase33-16-qa.md (answers to your questions)
- [ ] Review phase33-16-visual-guide.md (code locations)
- [ ] Baseline compile: `cargo build --release`

During implementation:
- [ ] Implement Phase 3.5 → compile
- [ ] Update signature → compile
- [ ] Add latch tracking → compile
- [ ] Replace exit_phi_inputs → compile
- [ ] Replace carrier_inputs → compile
- [ ] Add Phase 4.5 → compile
- [ ] Update docs → compile

After implementation:
- [ ] `NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1 ./target/release/nyash --dump-mir test.hako | grep "Phase 33-16"`
- [ ] Verify header block has PHI instructions at start
- [ ] Verify exit values reference header PHI dsts
- [ ] Test: `joinir_min_loop.hako` produces correct MIR
- [ ] Test: Loop variable values correct at exit

## Key Concepts

### Loop Header PHI as SSOT (Single Source of Truth)

The core idea: Instead of using undefined loop parameters, use PHI nodes at the loop header to track the "current value" of loop variables.

**Why it works**:
- PHI nodes ARE SSA-defined at the header block
- PHI dsts can safely be referenced in exit values
- Eliminates SSA-undef errors from undefined parameters

**Architecture**:
- **Phase 3.5**: Pre-allocate PHI dsts (before instruction processing)
- **Phase 4**: Set latch incoming during instruction processing
- **Phase 4.5**: Finalize PHIs with all incoming edges
- **Phase 6**: Use PHI dsts in exit line reconnection

### Two-Phase PHI Construction

**Phase 3.5: build()** - Allocate PHI dsts
```rust
let phi_dst = builder.next_value_id();  // Allocate
entry_incoming = (entry_block, init_value);  // Set entry
latch_incoming = None;  // Will be set in Phase 4
```

**Phase 4.5: finalize()** - Emit PHI instructions
```rust
PHI {
  dst: phi_dst,  // Already allocated
  inputs: [
    (entry_block, init_value),  // From Phase 3.5
    (header_block, latch_value),  // From Phase 4
  ]
}
```

## Known Limitations & Future Work

### Phase 33-16 (Current)
✅ Minimal scope: Loop variable only, no other carriers
✅ Pattern 2 primary focus (break statements)
✅ Backward compatible with Phase 33-15

### Phase 33-16+ (Future)
- [ ] Extract multiple carriers from exit_bindings
- [ ] Handle Pattern 3+ with multiple PHIs
- [ ] Pattern-specific header block identification
- [ ] Optimize constant carriers

---

## Support & Debugging

### If implementation breaks:

1. **Compilation error**: Check if loop_header_phi_info is properly passed as mutable reference
2. **SSA-undef error**: Check if finalize() is called and all latch_incoming are set
3. **Wrong values**: Check if latch_incoming is set from correct tail call args
4. **No header PHI**: Enable `NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1` and check "Phase 33-16" output

### Debug commands:
```bash
# Check debug output
NYASH_JOINIR_DEBUG=1 ./target/release/nyash --dump-mir test.hako 2>&1 | grep "Phase 33-16"

# Inspect MIR
./target/release/nyash --emit-mir-json mir.json test.hako
jq '.functions[0].blocks[0].instructions[0:3]' mir.json
```

## Next Phase: Phase 34+

After Phase 33-16 is complete:
1. Pattern 4 (continue statement) implementation
2. Trim patterns with complex carriers
3. Loop-as-expression full integration
4. Performance optimizations
