Release notes#

Focused release adding lege() stdin I/O across the compiler, removing JS-style arrow syntax in favor of the colon-lambda form, deepening Zig codegen coverage, and trimming stale rivus/ lexicon files.

Scale#

Major tracks#

Language: arrow syntax removal, lambda simplification#

• Removes => arrow-function syntax (token, parser, AST node, codegen for all 6 targets, tests) in favor of the consistent Latin-colon form `pro x: expr`. Block-form pro x { body } is unchanged. (e7f1fdd24)

I/O: lege() stdin expression#

• Adds lege() keyword, parser rule, AST node, and semantic analysis for reading stdin as a string. (9b559ac50)
• TypeScript codegen emits await Bun.stdin.text(). (2ec0cd82a)
• Zig codegen for lege() wired through the preamble. (9b559ac50)
• Renames the pactum method lege → accipe to free the reserved word. (9b559ac50)

Zig codegen expansion#

• Lambda type inference and Lista construction — lambda/arrow expressions now infer return types from semantic analysis (generating proper Zig structs instead of @compileError). Array literals assigned to lista<T> variables emit Lista(T).fromItems() / Lista(T).init(). qua casts to lista<T> also emit Lista construction. (09ddc6cf9)
• Output stream fix — write → stdout, warn → stderr, debug → debug, correcting the Zig preamble stream mapping. (3277e031a)
• Tabula — adds confla and inLista to the Zig tabula runtime, alongside updated probes. (3ed8c59c6)

Test runner: allocator context (wrap)#

• Adds a general-purpose wrap property to test cases that wraps input with a template ($ = placeholder), used to provide allocator context for Zig tests requiring cura blocks. Applied to 15 tests across scriptum, lista, copia, and tabula. (c7fd80ea7)

Cleanup#

• Removes the old rivus/lexicon/ files (nomina, typi, typi_constructi, verba, verba_clavium — 1181 lines). (41d274a87)

Bootstrap documentation#

• Marks Phase 3 I/O complete (stdin/stdout). Documents minimum Zig requirements for self-hosting the Faber compiler. (fa8d326b4, 3ed8c59c6)

Other changes#

• Disables parser tests for unimplemented cura curator kinds (liber, conexio, mutex) and skips corresponding codegen tests. (9b559ac50)
• Release commit: package.json version bump to 0.7.0. (1b22da336)
