Project context
Fictional rules editor Willow supports numbers, strings, booleans, records and functions in a deliberately small language. Define syntax and type rules locally; no arbitrary code execution is needed.
Setup prerequisites
- Create synthetic AST fixtures and a written type-rule table.
- Define source spans and structured diagnostic output.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
- CTYPE-101 · Assign explicit types to rules-editor literals
- CTYPE-102 · Resolve expression identifiers through lexical scope
- CTYPE-103 · Explain rules-editor operator operand mismatches
- CTYPE-104 · Check function calls for arity before argument inference
- CTYPE-105 · Unify rules-editor type variables with an occurs check
- CTYPE-106 · Report missing rules-editor record fields without losing known fields
- CTYPE-107 · Merge rules-editor branch types through explicit compatibility rules
- CTYPE-108 · Make rules-editor diagnostics deterministic across map insertion order
Acceptance criteria
- Only current version publishes
- Cancellation releases resources
- Late completion cannot overwrite
Implementation constraints
- Include document identity as well as version.
Verification to include
- Complete current check
- Resolve old check after replacement
Deliverables
- Versioned checking coordinator
Rollout and recovery
Run serial checks if publication ownership fails.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice type environments, unification and explainable rejection.
For the team: Inspect whether developer tooling catches mistakes without hiding uncertainty.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
