Scale#

Major tracks#

textus ↦ regex conversio and fallback rejection (Part A)#

• Ship real string/ascii-to-regex conversio with constant folding to HirLiteral::Regex, backend codegen via FaberRegex::new, and removal of the sed keyword with a migration diagnostic. Exempla, EBNF, and factory docs updated. Slash /…/ literals deferred to Part B. (0a5cac22e)
• Add template-built path conversio to the exempla: "/home/§/.*"(tenant) ↦ regex cross-referencing scriptum template application. (774abc464)
• Reject vel fallback on ↦ regex as structurally incoherent — the fallback slot requires a target-typed occupant but regex has no literal form, making recursion the only possible fallback. Typecheck diagnostic added; lowering guarded against silent drop. (2d86d9b4a)

Remove compound assignment; add postfix ⊕/⊖ statements#

• Reverse the v0.31 Unicode compound-assignment operators and repurpose ⊕/⊖ as Go-style postfix increment/decrement statements for int places. Lexer PostInc/PostDec tokens, parser incDecStmt, HIR/MIR lowering with evaluate-once semantics, semantic and codegen support across all four backends (Faber, Rust, Go, TypeScript). Delivers exempla (incrementa.fab), EBNF update, and reference-pack index migration. (cb697b222)
• Update README assignment policy: expression-level ← only, statement-only postfix ⊕/⊖, with link to the breaking-change release note. (0fd328da2)

Docs reorganization and licensing#

• Reorganize README as a front-loaded landing doc: lead tagline + status + badges, Why Faber thesis, Commandments, Language Snapshot, trimmed Quick Start — with the full language reference intact below the fold for LLM ingestion. Moves common failure modes to AGENTS.md. (81cffe791)
• Add MIT LICENSE and wire up real license badge. (5a9bcae05)
