nyash-codex 95f3aa429e refactor(joinir): Extract legacy binding path to routing_legacy_binding.rs
Phase 179-A Step 2: Separate LoopFrontendBinding JSON construction logic
into dedicated module for better organization.

Changes:
- New file: routing_legacy_binding.rs (223 lines)
- routing.rs: cf_loop_joinir_impl() simplified to 15 lines (delegates to legacy path)
- Routing now clearly separates pattern-based vs. legacy binding paths

Benefits:
- Clear separation of concerns (pattern router vs. legacy whitelist)
- routing.rs reduced from 364 to 146 lines (60% reduction)
- Legacy path isolated for future deprecation

Phase 178: LoopUpdateAnalyzer String Detection

Summary

Phase 178 extends LoopUpdateAnalyzer to detect string/complex carrier updates, enabling Fail-Fast behavior for unsupported patterns.

Changes

1. UpdateRhs Enum Extension (loop_update_analyzer.rs)

Added two new variants:

  • StringLiteral(String) - for result = result + "x" patterns
  • Other - for method calls and complex expressions

2. analyze_rhs Extension

Extended to detect:

  • String literals: ASTNode::Literal { value: LiteralValue::String(_) }
  • Method calls: ASTNode::MethodCall { .. }
  • Other complex expressions: ASTNode::Call, ASTNode::BinaryOp, etc.

3. Pattern 2/4 can_lower Updates

Both pattern2_with_break.rs and pattern4_with_continue.rs now check for string/complex updates in can_lower() and return false if detected.

This triggers a clear error message instead of silent incorrect behavior.

4. Legacy Fallback Comment Fixes

Updated misleading comments about "legacy fallback" - LoopBuilder was removed in Phase 187-2 and all loops must use JoinIR.

Behavior

When a loop contains string concatenation like:

loop(i < limit) {
    result = result + "x"  // String update
    i = i + 1
}

Phase 178 now produces a clear error:

[pattern2/can_lower] Phase 178: String/complex update detected, rejecting Pattern 2 (unsupported)
[ERROR] MIR compilation error: [joinir/freeze] Loop lowering failed:
JoinIR does not support this pattern, and LoopBuilder has been removed.

Test Results

  • P1 (simple while): OK
  • P2 (break + int carriers): OK
  • P4 (continue + multi-carrier): OK
  • String loops: Fail-Fast with clear error

Known Issues

  • 79 global test failures: Pre-existing issue, NOT caused by Phase 178
    • Confirmed by git stash test - failures exist in HEAD~1
    • Tracked separately from Phase 178

Future Work

To support string loops, either:

  1. Add JoinIR instructions for string concatenation (Option A)
  2. Process loop body statements in MIR alongside JoinIR control flow (Option B)

Phase 178 provides the detection foundation for future string support.
