The trio the author decided on 2026-09-20 is now all built: def is CL's defparameter — its initialiser runs on every daemon re-run, unguarded, so an edited initialiser repaints the same storage on C-c C-c plus re-run — defonce (Clojure's name for CL's defvar, per the author) initialises once behind the .init~once. flag, and defconst stays the image. One parse arm reads both forms; the difference is Ast.reinit, carried to Tast.global's grerun. Emit.startup_plan gives a def no guard flag, and Check.check_global lifts every def initialiser — zero and literal included — into global/<n>, so the host's startup reaches it through the function cell and a re-evaluated def swaps it (Session's def_inits; Emit.redefinition declares the cell for a non-sibling target). The old defvar spelling is refused with the rename and both compiling spellings, and every program, test, doc and editor list is swept — except sand.flan, the author's live WIP, whose seven defvar lines are flagged in FIX.org and keep its three dependent tests red on this branch.

;;;; slurp and barf — NEXT.md decisions 2 and 5.
|
|
;;;;
|
|
;;;; slurp reads a whole file and answers a (Vec u8). It allocates, which is
|
|
;;;; why it waited for Vec, and it follows spec-memory.md's rule to the letter:
|
|
;;;; no allocating operation returns an error, so there is no Result here and
|
|
;;;; no out-parameter anywhere.
|
|
;;;;
|
|
;;;; Failure signals a condition under a restart, which is the pattern
|
|
;;;; StorageExhausted set this session. Two restarts, and they are the pair
|
|
;;;; Common Lisp establishes for a file-error:
|
|
;;;;
|
|
;;;; retry the file may be there now
|
|
;;;; use-value [p string] try this other path instead
|
|
;;;;
|
|
;;;; use-value is a *typed* restart — the second thing this session bought —
|
|
;;;; and it is the first one the compiler itself emits. Its parameter is the
|
|
;;;; path slot the attempt reads, so the clause body is empty: the invoker's
|
|
;;;; argument lands in the slot, the clause falls through, and the loop
|
|
;;;; re-attempts against the new path.
