Implement PAGE (Facility word set) as IR primitive emitting form feed.
Web REPL clears output div on form feed, CLI REPL sends ANSI clear.
Fix init code panel: use default textarea content instead of placeholder
so init code actually executes on first visit. Update wasm-pack 0.10→0.14
and refresh Cargo.lock to latest compatible versions.
Decouple ForthVM from wasmtime via a Runtime trait so the same outer
interpreter, compiler, and 200+ word definitions work on both native
(wasmtime) and browser (js-sys WebAssembly API) backends.
Runtime trait (runtime.rs):
- HostAccess trait for memory/global ops inside host function closures
- HostFn type: Box<dyn Fn(&mut dyn HostAccess) -> Result<()>>
- Runtime trait: memory, globals, table, instantiate, call, register
NativeRuntime (runtime_native.rs):
- Wraps wasmtime Engine/Store/Memory/Table/Global/Func
- CallerHostAccess bridges HostAccess to wasmtime Caller API
- Feature-gated behind "native" (default)
outer.rs refactor:
- ForthVM<R: Runtime> — generic over execution backend
- All 87 host functions converted from Func::new closures to HostFn
- All memory access via rt.mem_read/write_*, global access via rt.get/set_*
- Zero logic changes — pure API conversion
wafer-core feature gates:
- default = ["native"] includes wasmtime + all native modules
- Without "native": pure Rust only (outer, codegen, optimizer, dictionary)
Browser REPL (crates/web):
- WebRuntime: js-sys WebAssembly.Memory/Table/Global/Module/Instance
- WaferRepl: wasm-bindgen entry point (evaluate, data_stack, reset)
- WebAssembly.Function with Safari fallback (wrapper module)
- Frontend: dark terminal UI, word panel, init code editor, history
- Build: wasm-pack build --target web
All 452 tests pass (431 unit + 1 benchmark + 9 comparison + 11 compliance).
Add `wafer build` to compile Forth source files to standalone .wasm modules,
and `wafer run` to execute them. The same .wasm file works with both the
wafer runtime (via wasmtime) and in browsers (via generated JS loader).
New CLI subcommands:
- `wafer build file.fth -o file.wasm` — compile to standalone WASM
- `wafer build file.fth -o file.wasm --js` — also generate JS/HTML loader
- `wafer build file.fth --entry WORD` — custom entry point
- `wafer run file.wasm` — execute pre-compiled module
Entry point resolution: --entry flag > MAIN word > recorded top-level execution.
Memory snapshot embedded as WASM data section preserves VARIABLE/CONSTANT state.
Metadata in custom "wafer" section enables the runner to provide host functions.
New modules: export.rs (orchestration), runner.rs (wasmtime host), js_loader.rs
(browser support). Refactored codegen.rs to share logic between consolidation
and export via compile_multi_word_module(). Added ir_bodies tracking for
VARIABLE, CONSTANT, CREATE, VALUE, DEFER, BUFFER:, MARKER, 2CONSTANT,
2VARIABLE, 2VALUE, FVARIABLE defining words.
Removed dead code: dot_func field, unused wafer-web stub crate, wasmtime-wasi
dependency from CLI, orphaned --consolidate/--output CLI flags.
425 tests pass (414 original + 11 new including 7 round-trip integration tests).
- Add docs/OPTIMIZATIONS.md: catalog of 14 optimization passes with
status tracking and implementation roadmap
- Configure workspace-level clippy and rustc lints in Cargo.toml
- Add clippy.toml and deny.toml for clippy thresholds and dependency
auditing (licenses, advisories, bans)
- Set up pre-commit hook: cargo fmt, dprint, clippy, cargo deny,
cargo machete
- Update Justfile with deny/machete targets, dprint in fmt checks
Optimizing Forth 2012 compiler targeting WebAssembly with IR-based
compilation pipeline, multi-typed stack inference, subroutine threading,
and JIT/consolidation modes. Rust kernel with ~35 primitives and Forth
standard library for core/core-ext word sets.
