Phase 142 P0: Implementation Summary

Overview

Successfully extended the Canonicalizer to recognize trim leading/trailing patterns by generalizing the skip_whitespace pattern detector.

Acceptance Criteria Status

✅ All criteria met:

• ✅ Canonicalizer creates Skeleton for trim_leading/trailing
• ✅ RoutingDecision.chosen == Pattern2Break (ExitContract priority)
• ✅ decision.missing_caps == [] (no missing capabilities)
• ✅ Strict parity green (both test files)
• ✅ Default behavior unchanged
• ✅ Unit tests added (2 new tests)
• ✅ Documentation created

Files Modified

1. ast_feature_extractor.rs (+31 lines, -11 lines)

Path: src/mir/builder/control_flow/joinir/patterns/ast_feature_extractor.rs

Key Changes:

• Generalized detect_skip_whitespace_pattern() to accept both Add and Subtract operators
• Added op_multiplier logic to handle +1 and -1 deltas
• Updated documentation to reflect support for trim patterns
• Maintained SSOT architecture

Core Logic:

// Phase 142 P0: Accept both Add (+1) and Subtract (-1)
let op_multiplier = match operator {
    BinaryOperator::Add => 1,
    BinaryOperator::Subtract => -1,
    _ => return None,
};

// Calculate delta with sign (e.g., +1 or -1)
let delta = const_val * op_multiplier;

2. canonicalizer.rs (+184 lines, -1 line)

Path: src/mir/loop_canonicalizer/canonicalizer.rs

Key Changes:

• Added test_trim_leading_pattern_recognized() unit test
• Added test_trim_trailing_pattern_recognized() unit test
• Fixed test_skip_whitespace_fails_with_wrong_delta() to use Multiply operator (clearer semantics)

Test Coverage:

• Skeleton structure verification
• Carrier slot verification (with correct delta sign)
• ExitContract verification
• RoutingDecision verification

3. pattern_recognizer.rs (-1 line)

Path: src/mir/loop_canonicalizer/pattern_recognizer.rs

Key Changes:

• Removed unused SkipWhitespaceInfo import
• Code cleanup only, no functional changes

Statistics

Code Changes

• Total files modified: 3
• Total lines changed: +206, -11

Test Results

Unit Tests:
  running 7 tests
  test result: ok. 7 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored

Manual Verification (trim_leading):
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Decision: SUCCESS
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Chosen pattern: Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Missing caps: []
  [choose_pattern_kind/PARITY] OK: canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer/PARITY] OK in function 'main': canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break

Manual Verification (trim_trailing):
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Decision: SUCCESS
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Chosen pattern: Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer]   Missing caps: []
  [choose_pattern_kind/PARITY] OK: canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break
  [loop_canonicalizer/PARITY] OK in function 'main': canonical and actual agree on Pattern2Break

Build Status

• ✅ Compilation: Success (no errors)
• ✅ Warnings: 0 new warnings (unused import fixed)
• ✅ Formatting: Applied (cargo fmt)

Design Principles Applied

1. Box-First Modularization

• Extended existing function instead of creating new ones
• Maintained SSOT pattern
• Preserved delegation architecture

2. Incremental Implementation

• Minimal scope (recognizer only)
• No changes to routing or lowering logic
• P0 focus maintained

3. ExitContract Priority

• Pattern choice determined by ExitContract
• has_break=true → Pattern2Break
• Consistent with existing policy

4. Fail-Fast Principle

• Clear error messages
• No fallback logic
• Explicit pattern matching

5. Source Code Quality

• Clean, well-documented code
• Comprehensive comments
• Consistent formatting

Recognized Patterns

Before Phase 142

// Only: p = p + 1
if is_ws { p = p + 1 } else { break }

After Phase 142 P0

// Pattern 1: skip_whitespace (original)
if is_ws { p = p + 1 } else { break }

// Pattern 2: trim_leading (new)
if is_ws { start = start + 1 } else { break }

// Pattern 3: trim_trailing (new)
if is_ws { end = end - 1 } else { break }

Known Limitations

Expected Behavior

• Pattern2 variable promotion (A-3 Trim promotion) not implemented
• This is intentional - Phase 142 P0 only targets recognizer extension
• Promotion will be addressed in future phases

No Impact On

• Default behavior (unchanged)
• Existing patterns (backward compatible)
• Performance (minimal overhead)

Next Steps

Phase 142 P1 (Future)

• Implement A-3 Trim promotion in Pattern2 handler
• Enable full execution of trim patterns
• Address variable promotion issues

Phase 142 P2 (Future)

• Extend to Pattern 3/4 routing
• Support more complex carrier updates
• Generalize condition patterns

Phase 142 P3 (Future)
