This commit adds foundational string pattern support to the Rowan-based parser:
- Add string pattern SyntaxKind tokens for all interpolation components
- Implement complete StringPattern AST nodes with proper validation
- Add lossless string pattern lexer that preserves source formatting
- Integrate string pattern detection in main parser
- Create STRING_PATTERN nodes for strings containing { or } characters
- Add comprehensive tests covering harness file examples
- Verify compatibility with existing .eu test files
Key features implemented:
- Basic interpolation: "{x}+{y}={z}"
- Format specifiers: "{data.foo.bar:%06d}"
- Escaped braces: "{{...}}"
- Complex patterns: "{:%03d}{:%05x}"
All harness test files parse successfully, including:
- 024_interpolation.eu (basic string interpolation)
- 041_numeric_formats.eu (complex format specifiers)
The implementation provides a solid foundation for future enhancement
while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Implement significant performance improvements to the Rowan parser: Performance Results: - Original: 25.79 µs - Optimized: 23.41 µs (9.2% improvement) - LALRPOP baseline: 14.47 µs - Performance gap: Reduced from 81% to 62% slower Key Optimizations: - ASCII fast-path for character classification functions - Replace expensive Unicode category lookups with pattern matching - Fast rejection for common ASCII characters (letters, digits, brackets) - Only fallback to Unicode for non-ASCII characters Changes: - Optimized is_oper_start() with ASCII-first approach - Optimized is_oper_continuation() with ASCII-first approach - Optimized is_reserved_open() and is_reserved_close() - Reduced Unicode GeneralCategory::of() calls by ~70-80% The performance is now acceptable for production use while maintaining all lossless parsing benefits. All 258 tests continue to pass. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
* Remove all LALRPOP grammar files and generated code * Remove LALRPOP dependencies from Cargo.toml and build.rs * Create compatibility layer between Rowan and LALRPOP AST interfaces * Update all parser call sites to use Rowan parser through compatibility layer * Replace detailed parser tests with capability-focused tests * Remove LALRPOP-specific error handling and type conversions Status: Core infrastructure complete, some tests fail due to placeholder AST conversion in compatibility layer. Next step is to implement proper AST conversion or migrate remaining code to use Rowan AST directly. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Replace placeholder test functions with real Rowan parsing and conversion to legacy AST format. This enables proper import extraction from Rowan AST nodes. Key changes: - Replace dummy `parse_expr` and `parse_unit` functions with real Rowan parser calls - Add conversion functions from Rowan AST to legacy AST format for testing - Support for literals, lists, blocks, and declarations in conversion - Unit tests for import analysis now pass: `cargo test test_scrape_metadata` This fixes Phase 1 of the Rowan parser completion - import analysis unit tests now pass, enabling progress to Phase 2 (variable resolution). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Fixed parser creating empty DECL_HEAD nodes when metadata precedes declarations - Reordered COLON handling to process metadata before splitting declaration head - Added check to convert metadata-only declarations to block metadata This partially addresses the MalformedDeclarationHead errors in the prelude, though some operator declarations still fail validation.
- Implement backtracking logic in BlockEventSink to extract declaration heads from metadata when operators are preceded by complex metadata blocks
- Fix depth tracking bug in extract_last_expression_from_metadata to properly identify expression boundaries
- Add ARG_TUPLE to PAREN_EXPR conversion for operator declaration validation compatibility
- Fix missing varify calls in Rowan desugaring for declaration bodies, list items, and argument tuples to ensure Name expressions are converted to Var expressions
- Resolves MalformedDeclarationHead errors for complex operator declarations like `{ metadata } (operator): body`
- Resolves Expr::Name compilation errors that were reaching STG compiler

Fixed two critical bugs in single-quoted identifier processing: 1. SingleQuoteIdentifier::name_range() incorrectly used find() twice instead of find() and rfind() to locate opening and closing quotes 2. desugar_rowan_name() used text() which included quotes instead of using the name() method to extract the content between quotes Single quotes in Eucalypt create identifiers (not strings), where the content between quotes becomes the variable name. This fix ensures 'test-name' correctly refers to the same identifier as test-name. Also updated syntax-gotchas.md with comprehensive documentation of single quote identifier syntax and common mistakes. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

…ack during body desugaring
Fixed critical timing issue where declaration names weren't on the desugarer stack during body processing, causing incomplete target paths like ["main"] instead of ["verification", "main"]. Key changes: - Added extract_declaration_name() to get names before body desugaring - Restructured rowan_declaration_to_binding() to push names early - Target resolution now generates identical STG: ⊗39(\!:main ✳2 ✳1) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Root cause: Rowan lexer wasn't considering whitespace between tokens when deciding between OPEN_PAREN and OPEN_PAREN_APPLY, causing incorrect parsing of expressions like "match(s, re) (not ∘ nil?)" where whitespace should prevent applytuple interpretation. Changes: - Add whitespace_since_last_token field to Lexer struct - Track whitespace state in lexer iterator implementation - Use whitespace tracking in paren() method to distinguish token types - Add unit tests for whitespace-separated parentheses parsing Result: STG generation now matches LALRPOP output exactly (verified via normalized comparison), resolving the matches? function ordering issue. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
- Enhanced lexer to emit detailed token streams for string patterns containing interpolation - Added new token types: STRING_PATTERN_START/END, STRING_LITERAL_CONTENT, STRING_INTERPOLATION_TARGET, etc. - Updated parser to build proper AST structure with chunks for literals, interpolations, and escaped braces - String patterns now generate useful AST nodes with correct spans and text content - Added comprehensive tests verifying AST structure for basic interpolation, format specs, and escaped braces - All existing tests continue to pass 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
…allable
Fixed issue where expressions like "hello {}"("world") were not being parsed
as function application. The problem was that STRING_PATTERN_END tokens were
not recognized as callable terminals, causing the lexer to emit OPEN_PAREN
instead of OPEN_PAREN_APPLY after string patterns.
Changes:
- Added STRING_PATTERN_END to is_callable_terminal() in kind.rs
- Cleaned up desugar_rowan_string_pattern() to use proper Rowan AST structure
Now single anonymous interpolations work correctly:
- "hello {}"("world") → "hello world"
- "{},{},{}"(1,2,3) → "1,2,3"
- "{2},{1},{0}"("a", "b", "c") → "c,b,a"

Convert DefaultBlockLet to OtherLet after static lookup rebodying to prevent
subsequent dots from being treated as static lookups. This ensures that in
expressions like {data: {foo: 99}}.data.foo, the first dot (.data) is
correctly processed as a static lookup while subsequent dots (.foo) are
handled as dynamic lookups.
Includes comprehensive test suite for dotted lookup functionality covering:
- Simple dotted lookups: {foo: 99}.foo
- Multi-level dotted lookups: {data: {foo: 99}}.data.foo
- AST parsing verification
- Core expression generation validation

- Update CLAUDE.md with correct commands to match CI exactly - Fix malformed format strings that broke compilation - Use `cargo clippy --all-targets` instead of `--lib` to match CI - Use `cargo fmt --all` to format all targets consistently - Document the critical difference between local and CI checking 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
Root Cause Analysis:
- Local Rust 1.85.0 vs CI latest stable (1.88.0) caused clippy rule differences
- Using `cargo clippy --lib` vs CI's `cargo clippy --all-targets` missed test files
- Result: "local passes, CI fails" cycle due to environment mismatch
Solutions Implemented:
1. Updated CLAUDE.md with critical Rust version matching requirements
2. Added comprehensive pre-commit checklist with exact CI-matching commands
3. Fixed all 138+ uninlined_format_args warnings across the codebase
4. Established reliable local CI reproduction workflow
Technical Changes:
- Updated all format strings from `format\!("{}", var)` to `format\!("{var}")`
- Fixed format strings in 27+ files including core, eval, syntax, export modules
- Preserved all format specifiers (:.1, :?, :p, etc.) correctly
- Updated Rust toolchain to 1.88.0 to match CI environment
Verification:
- cargo fmt --all -- --check ✅
- cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings ✅
- Zero clippy warnings remaining
- Reliable local CI parity established
