;;; flan-cnr.el --- What a stopped program is offering -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
;; `C-c C-b' is a `completing-read' over restart names. That is the whole UI
;; for the one moment the dev loop exists to make survivable, and it is thin in
;; a way that is worth being specific about: it shows the names and nothing
;; else — not the condition's fields, not where the error was, not what the
;; frame between here and the restart was doing — and it will happily let you
;; choose a name that cannot be invoked. This is the buffer that replaces it.
;;
;; Two sources, and they answer different questions.
;;
;; **SBCL** answers *what to put first*. `invoke-debugger' prints the
;; condition, then `show-restarts', and stops. The backtrace is a command you
;; type, not something it shows you. That ordering is a claim: the restarts
;; are the decision in front of you and the stack is the explanation for it,
;; and a debugger that opens with forty frames has buried the decision under
;; the explanation. So: condition, restarts, then the stack, and the stack's
;; locals folded away until asked for.
;;
;; `show-restarts' also numbers them and brackets the name — and omits the
;; bracket on a name already used further in. That device is not decoration.
;; A restart is invoked by name; the name resolves to the innermost frame
;; offering it; so a second frame offering `retry' is real, is on the list, and
;; **cannot be chosen by name**. spec-conditions.md §4 says exactly this about
;; Flan ("takes the first frame offering the name"), and `flan_find_restart'
;; does exactly this in the runtime. Today's `completing-read' hides it: the
;; list has `retry' in it twice, picking either sends the string "retry", and
;; the inner one runs. Here the shadowed entry is drawn and refused, by name,
;; with the reason.
;;
;; **CIDER's stacktrace buffer** answers *how it should behave*: frames that
;; expand in place, TAB to fold, everything reachable from the keyboard,
;; `q' to go. What was not taken from it is the cause chain — CIDER walks
;; `ex-cause' because a JVM exception wraps another one, and a Flan condition
;; wraps nothing — and its filters, which exist because a JVM backtrace is
;; mostly frames nobody wrote.
;;
;; Everything this buffer cannot fill in is drawn as a section that says so, by
;; name, with what it would take. A missing section is indistinguishable from
;; a section that happened to be empty, and only one of those is a fact about
;; the program.
