feat(language): truthiness in condition positions (B-1563) - #4498
Merged
Conversation
Condition positions (if, while, match guards, &&/||/! operands) now accept any value and coerce it to bool by truthiness. Falsy: false, null, 0, 0n, 0.0, empty string/list/map/bytes. Everything else is truthy, including NaN, instances, variants, and closures. The checker decides and records an Adjust::Truthy adjustment (the FunctionAdapter grain); MIR synthesizes a Truthy unary in front of the branch; the VM branch opcodes stay strict-bool. A bool-typed condition records nothing and lowers exactly as before. OpCode::Not negates truthiness, closing B-1071's !0-vs-if(0) asymmetry. Flow narrowing drops always-falsy union members in the true branch and always-truthy members in the false branch, so a string? condition interpolates as string in the then-branch. A non-literal condition whose static type decides the branch warns (E0164); written literals like while (true) stay idiomatic. Also adds string.is_empty() and prunes stale strict-bool commentary from the assert fixture.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe compiler now accepts truthy values in conditions, narrows optional values, records truthiness coercions, and reports constant conditions. MIR, bytecode, and the VM execute truthiness consistently. Tests cover primitives, containers, operators, loops, and match guards. ChangesTruthiness condition support
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change broadens condition positions to truthiness, but the current head still has a diagnostic polarity error for negated conditions and can leave countdown loops running indefinitely for negative integers. Merge should wait for these correctness issues to be corrected or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Conflicts: DiagnosticId (E0164 taken by NonDataTypeAtRender in #4470; ConditionAlwaysConstant moves to E0167) and the while-loop condition site (canary's never-exits analysis composes with check_condition; the statically-true helper now also recognizes always-truthy condition types). Also addresses review findings: - OpCode::try_from was missing the Truthy arm, so compact-stream decoding of Truthy-containing bytecode failed; added with round-trip test coverage. - A condition typed by a still-open inference variable (if (id(0))) recorded no coercion and hit the strict-bool branch with the raw value; check_condition now defers the decision to finish, where the final type is known. Regression tests in ns_truthiness. - The Not operand no longer records a dead Adjust::Truthy; OpCode::Not performs the coercion itself. Warnings still fire. - is_truthy doc mentions OmittedArg; literal-union narrowing polarity covered natively.

The CI snapshot job runs every baml_tests target; the earlier verification only ran the baml_src corpus. Churn: stdlib snapshots and bytecode function ids shift for is_empty; the null_handling fixture drops the now-legal strict-bool errors on ||; phase7's truthiness narrowing test pins the new then-branch narrowing instead of the old rejection; the type-spec sweep counts the ns_truthiness file.
A ! operand whose type still carried an inference variable skipped the always-constant warning (and the void mismatch) that check_condition's deferral preserves for branch conditions. Both paths now share the pending-condition queue; a ! operand entry decides at finish without recording Adjust::Truthy, since OpCode::Not coerces itself. New truthiness_warnings LSP fixture pins E0167 for the eager and deferred shapes, including !tw_id(c), and the while (true) exemption.

check_condition and check_not_operand shared their whole preamble (infer, bail on error, literal check, fixpoint deferral) and differed only in whether Adjust::Truthy is recorded; both are now thin wrappers over one check_truthy_operand parameterized by that flag, so the two paths cannot drift apart again. Fixture: header said E0164 (the pre-merge code); the warnings are E0167. Added a deferred always-falsy case (if (tw_id(null))).
Snapshot-only conflicts (type-spec sweep, bytecode format): resolved by taking canary's and regenerating, which reapplies the is_empty function-id shifts on top of #4495's corpus addition.

…daryML#4518) Closes the deferred half of B-1582 item 1 (the `STOP.md` at the repo root), implementing ruling **(A)**: an inline `unreflect(expr)` type argument is legal only while the runtime type stays out of the expression's published static type. ## The rule `unreflect(v)` written inline introduces a parameter that is rigid for **one call**. The call site publishes `occurrence_ty` (the parameter's first interface bound, or `unknown`) in its place. So the check is an occurs-check on the callee's declared **result** type: | declared result | verdict | why | |---|---|---| | `-> T` | **legal** | occurrence-substitution types a *value*. Its static type erases to `unknown`, the runtime tag rides on the value, and nothing asserts more. This is `sap.parse` / `Extract$parse<unreflect(t)>` — the supported dynamic path, used all over tests and demos. | | `-> Wrapper<unknown>` | **legal** | declared erasure is the author's contract; `T` is not mentioned. | | result not mentioning `T` | **legal** | `Extract$render_prompt<unreflect(t)>(..)` consumes the type inside the call. | | `-> Wrapper<T>`, `-> T[]?`, `Agent<T>.new`, `Holder<unreflect(t)> { .. }` | **E0168** | the occurrence substitutes *into a type constructor*. The published type then asserts something about the value that stops being true the moment the call returns — and every later dispatch re-derives the receiver's class arguments from exactly that published type. | That is the dividing line the brief asked for, stated positively: the bare-parameter result is the single shape where occurrence-typing describes a value rather than lying about a constructor. The carve-out is deliberately **exactly one shape deep**: `-> T` is legal, anything containing `T` is not. I kept the predicate literal rather than curating a list of constructors that are supposedly safe to substitute under — one rule, no boundary to relitigate per constructor, and the escape hatch is one line of user code. Relaxing it later is additive; the `-> T?` case that sits closest to the line is written up under Residuals. One consequence worth stating up front: **the ticket's repro has *two* inline slots, and both are named.** `ai.Agent<unreflect(t)>.new(..).run(DynamicOutput@spec<unreflect(t)>())` reports twice — `@spec<T>` embeds the parameter the same way `Agent<T>` does. That matches the BoundaryML#4501 scenario, which already writes `DynamicOutput@spec<Out>()`. ## Implementation Two sites, one diagnostic. - **Call result typing** — `infer.rs::report_runtime_type_escape`, called from the two existing recorders (`record_runtime_dependent_arguments` for source signatures, `record_external_runtime_dependent_arguments` for mounted ones) that between them cover every `write_call_type_args` road. The predicate is `infer.rs::runtime_param_escapes_result`: false when the result *is* the parameter, else `ty_mentions_param` — the same occurs machinery the runtime-parameter plumbing already uses. No interprocedural analysis. - **Class literals** — `lower_expr_body.rs::lower_object_literal`. A class literal's result is `C<…T…>` by construction, so the answer never depends on a callee signature and the report is made where the written source is still at hand. The slot used to be *dropped* by `collect_constructor_path`, which is what left an error-recovery type in the instantiation and hit `runtime_ty.rs:252` `unreachable!("`Error` is not a valid `RuntimeTy`")`. It now holds its place (so inference does not also report a missing type parameter) and the diagnostic fires long before lowering. **No path reaches that `unreachable!` any more** — it is still live if called directly, but every real entry point (`run`, `pack`, `check`, runtime `Package.compile`) gates on error diagnostics before lowering, and `Package.compile` surfaces this one as a catchable E0168. ## The diagnostic (E0168) Built by one shared factory, `runtime_type::runtime_type_must_be_named`, with an E-1 oracle row in `constructors_own_code_and_complete_message`. (This started as E0167; BoundaryML#4498 landed that code for `ConditionAlwaysConstant` while this branch was gating, so it rebased onto E0168 — the next free code, with the same `// E0167 is owned by …` marker comment the file already uses for E0164.) ``` E0168 × this runtime type must be given a name before it can be used here ╭─[app.baml:5:12] 5 │ Holder<unreflect(t)> { label: "h" } · ──────┬───── · ╰── a type created at runtime only lasts for one call when written inline with `unreflect(...)`, but the value this expression creates would still need it afterwards ╰──── ╰─▶ ☞ name the type first, then use the name: │ type Out = unreflect(t); │ Holder<Out> { label: "h" } ``` The rewrite is read back out of the author's own source, not reconstructed: `RuntimeTypeNameRewrite::from_source` takes the written expression and the byte range of its `unreflect(...)` slot and substitutes. The class-literal site has the CST; the call site assembles it in `TirDiagnostic::render_with_type_refs`, the first point that holds both the file text and the resolved spans (inference sees arena ids and no source at all — hence the new `DiagnosticLocation::UnreflectArg { carrier, enclosing }`, which carries both spans together). A half that would not print cleanly — multi-line, empty, past a length budget — is dropped rather than guessed at, and the suggestion degrades to `type Out = unreflect(...);`. The `unreflect(...)` slot needed a span of its own (`AstSourceMap::unreflect_arg_spans`): the carrier expression's span covers only `t`, not the marker and parens. ## Tests `crates/baml_tests/tests/runtime_type_escape.rs`, thirteen cases. Refused: the ticket's verbatim `ai.Agent<unreflect(t)>.new(..).run(DynamicOutput@spec<unreflect(t)>())` (both slots); `STOP.md`'s minimal panic repro `Holder<unreflect(t)> { label: "h" }`; the static-constructor sibling `Holder<unreflect(t)>.new("h")`; `-> Wrapper<T>`; `-> T[]?`. Two rendered snapshots pin headline + note + rewrite together, one per road, because the code+message assertions would not notice either half degrading: the class-literal report (span and rewrite from the CST) and the call-site report (span from `DiagnosticLocation::UnreflectArg` through `AstSourceMap`, rewrite assembled in `render_with_type_refs` from the file text). Accepted (each a pin from the brief): `Extract$parse<unreflect(t)>` (`-> T`); `Extract$render_prompt<unreflect(t)>` (result never mentions `T`); `-> Wrapper<unknown>`; the lexical `type Out = unreflect(t)` binding on the very shapes the inline one is refused for; and the negative control — a user class *named* `unreflect`, a local binding named `unreflect`, and a function called as `unreflect(3)` (the exact `unreflect(` shape the type-argument lookahead keys on). `applying_the_suggestion_compiles_and_runs` asserts the refusal and then runs the program E0168 literally spells: it is the BoundaryML#4501 Agent scenario with `type Out = unreflect(..)` in front and `Out` in the slots — compiles, dispatches through `implements Runner<Out>`, parses the reflected output type, returns `Pixel`. ## Not done The stretch LSP quickfix is **skipped**. `baml_lsp2_actions::fixes` has no text-edit concept at all today — `FixKind` has a single `OpenInPlayground` variant and no `WorkspaceEdit` path through to the LSP layer — so this would have meant building the codebase's first diagnostic-driven edit action, which is its own change. The rewrite is already computed and attached to the diagnostic, so a later quickfix has nothing left to derive. ## Residuals — named, not implemented Three things the ruling's paragraph does not settle. All are conservative-side gaps (they refuse more, or report less, never accept a lie), so none blocks this PR; flagging them for a call rather than guessing. 1. **The `throws` clause is unchecked.** The occurs-check reads the declared *result* only. `f<unreflect(t)>() -> int throws Boom<T>` publishes exactly the same lying constructor in the effect channel and is accepted today. The wrinkle that stopped me extending it: a `throws` clause is often *inferred* rather than written (`FunctionSignature::throws` with `throws_declared: false`), so the check would start firing on effects the author never spelled — which is a different conversation from "you wrote this type argument". 2. **`-> T?` vs `x?.m<unreflect(t)>()` is asymmetric.** A declared `-> T?` is refused (`Optional` is a constructor, so the parameter occurs), while an optional-chained call to a `-> T` method is accepted — and both publish `unknown?`. The strict side is the safe one and relaxing it later is additive, but the two spellings arriving at the same published type by different verdicts is worth a deliberate answer. 3. **Cosmetic: a class literal's carrier expression is never lowered.** The literal road reports from AST lowering and leaves the slot as an error-recovery type, so `Holder<unreflect(nope)> { .. }` reports only E0168 — the "unresolved name `nope`" appears once the user applies the rewrite. The call road, which does lower its carrier, reports both at once. ## Gate `cargo insta test --test-runner nextest -p baml_tests -p baml_cli -p baml_lsp2_actions -p baml_lsp2_actions_tests -p baml_surface --all-features --unreferenced=reject`, pinned 1.93.0, `CARGO_INCREMENTAL=0`, caps `CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=24` / `NEXTEST_TEST_THREADS=24` — GATE_LINE. `cargo fmt --all --check` and `cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features` over the touched crates clean. Rebased onto canary after BoundaryML#4498 landed (E-code collision, see above); the gate below is the post-rebase run. Not enqueued. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Conditions now support truthy and falsy values across control flow and boolean expressions. * Added warnings for conditions that are always true or false (E0167). * **Bug Fixes** * Added E0168 for inline `unreflect(...)` runtime types that escape into published result types. * Diagnostics identify the affected expression and suggest assigning the type to a named alias. * Safe parameter-only, non-escaping, and explicitly erased usages remain supported. * **Tests** * Added coverage for nested results, constructors, wrappers, arrays, agents, rewrite suggestions, and end-to-end dynamic agent scenarios. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

…ML#4519) Implements the reserved half of [B-1582](https://linear.app/boundaryml2/issue/B-1582) item 3 — the ratified specialization API. BoundaryML#4501 fixed everything about runtime types that did not need a new surface; this is the surface. ## What it looks like ```baml let descriptor = pkg.functions().get("root.Extract$render_prompt") ?? throw "not listed" descriptor.is_generic() // true descriptor.generic_params() // [ GenericParam { name: "T" } ] let specialized = descriptor.specialize([record.as_type()]) let render = specialized.get<PromptFn>() ?? throw "no callable" render("records").text() // embeds the runtime class's schema ``` `baml.reflect.function.Type` gains: | method | contract | |---|---| | `is_generic(self) -> bool throws never` | still expects type arguments | | `generic_params(self) -> GenericParam[] throws never` | names + count, declaration order | | `specialize(self, args: type[]) -> Type throws CompilationError` | arity + bounds checked | | `get<F>(self) -> F? throws CompilationError` | the callable, through an `F` contract | `Package.functions()` now lists **every** declared function, generics included. ## Why the listing changed The omission was never a decision: `functions()` `filter_map`ped over `function_type`, which returned `None` whenever `callable_signature` failed — which is exactly what an unspecialized generic does (`TyTemplate::substitute` hits `TypeArgRefOutOfRange`, and `.ok()` erases it). "Listed but not extractable" already existed on canary for generic companions since BoundaryML#4501. This PR makes both states first-class and actionable instead of a dead end. ## How it works A reflection kind view *is* the `Object::Type` value (`as_type` returns the receiver), so a descriptor has to be a `type` value that also remembers its callable. Two additive, provenance-only payload fields: - **`TypeValue.callable: HeapPtr`** — the `Object::GenericFunction` a descriptor was reflected from, null everywhere else. Outside the identity tuple: `==`/`Hash` stay mint-only, so two descriptors of equal type remain equal type values. GC traces it exactly like `owner`. - **`GenericFunction.exact_type_values: Option<Box<[Option<TypeValue>]>>`** (`#[borsh(skip)]`, `None` for every compile-time instantiation, so pooled interned objects stay byte-identical) — the exact `type` values behind `type_args`. `execute_call_from_locals_offset` seeds the callee's `FrameTypeMetadata` from it, which is how `LoadType` hands the body's `type.of<T>()` back the caller's own minted value with its `DynTypeDefs` overlay attached. Without that lane the specialized `$render_prompt` companion would render a bare unresolvable name instead of the runtime class's schema. Everything else is assembly of parts that already existed: - **arity/genericity** — `type_args.len() < generic_param_bounds.len()`, the same question `unspecialized_generic_callable_name` asks (`vm.rs:2636`). - **bounds** — the proof `validate_runtime_generic_bounds` runs before entering a runtime-checked generic call: substitute the bound's `args`/`assoc` against the completed frame, then `ImplResolver::type_implements`. Rooted at the *supplied value's* dynamic world (`for_value`) so a runtime-minted type's impls are visible, and reported as a typed diagnostic instead of a bare "mismatched types". `baml.AnyClass` keeps its BoundaryML#4493 carve-out for free. - **`specialize`** — build a `GenericFunction` with the completed `type_args` plus the exact values; `callable_signature` then reconstructs. Specialize ≈ "make `callable_signature` succeed". - **`get<F>`** — `Package.get_function`'s contract check, factored into `check_function_contract` and shared verbatim. ## Contract changes to existing pins Each of these is a deliberate change to something previously pinned: 1. **`Package.functions()` lists unspecialized generics.** `function_listing_omits_unspecialized_generics` → `function_listing_includes_unspecialized_generics`, now also asserting `is_generic()` on the generic entry and its absence on the concrete one. The stdlib docstring's "unspecialized generic functions are omitted" claim is deleted. 2. **`function.Type.params()` / `return_type()` gained a throws channel** (`throws never` → `throws baml.reflect.errors.CompilationError`). An unspecialized generic descriptor has no realized function type to decompose; reading one was an `unreachable!` before it was reachable, and is now E0165. `type_kinds.rs`'s `read_views` helper declares the channel accordingly. 3. **E0165's two messages changed.** Both said reflection "cannot supply type arguments yet". It can now, so both name the route that works: `Package.functions()` → `specialize`. Extraction *by name* is still refused — a name lookup has nowhere to put type arguments — so `unspecialized_generic_get_function_reports_reflection_limit` and the four `reflect_call_any` message pins keep their shape and take the new text. `generic_function_companion_extraction_reports_reflection_limit` is unchanged in behaviour; its doc comment now points at the route that does work. 4. **New E0169 `ReflectSpecializationFailed`**, appended at the end of `DiagnosticId` (borsh discriminants are declaration-ordered), with six shared factories and their oracle rows in `runtime_type.rs`'s message table: arity mismatch, bound violation, not-generic, already-specialized, not-a-descriptor, and the unreconstructible-signature backstop. (E0167 went to BoundaryML#4498's always-constant-condition lint and E0168 to BoundaryML#4518's escaping-`unreflect` diagnostic while this branch was open; E0169 is the next free code at the rebase head.) ## Review round **GC edges are structural now (blocker).** `TypeValue` carries three heap pointers — its owning package, its definition overlay, and (new here) a descriptor's callable — and six sites walked that set by hand: the collector's major/forwarding/young arms, a frame's exact type arguments, the pending-call lane, and the `runtime_type` provenance on classes and enums. Adding a field meant editing all six, and missing one leaves a dangling pointer that `get_object`'s unchecked deref turns into UB rather than a panic — which is exactly what the first cut of this PR did. The walk now lives on the payload as `TypeValue::gc_edges()` / `forward_gc_edges()` (with the same pair on `DynTypeDefs` and `RuntimeTypeProvenance`, and a `young_edges` filter for the minor-collection arms), and every site calls it. The six-copy pattern is gone, so the next pointer-bearing field cannot repeat this. Two pre-existing gaps fell out: a runtime class field's type value never had its `owner` forwarded, and the class/enum provenance arms duplicated the same walk a third time. Covered by a unit test that roots and forwards a callable-bearing frame value, plus two BAML tests that collect between every step — one holding a descriptor across collections and then specializing/extracting/calling it, one specializing with a runtime-minted class and reading `type.of<T>()` back out of the callee after a collection. **Bounds resolve in the descriptor's world, not the caller's.** `lookup_interface` goes through `package_for_type`, which roots at the *executing frame's* runtime package. A bound declared inside a `Package.compile`d package is `Local` to that package, so proving it from a host call site found no interface, no rules, and rejected every argument — including conforming ones. `ImplResolver` now resolves the interface name against its `root_package` first and falls back to the lexical lookup (the name-resolution half of what `for_package` already did for rules), and `specialize` roots at the descriptor's package. The fallback matters: a goal can equally name an interface the inspected package *borrowed* from a mounted dependency, which is local to that dependency and only resolvable the lexical way — rooting alone broke `scenario_6`'s `PlanThenAct implements app.AgentAction`. Pinned by a test that compiles a package declaring the interface, a conforming class, and a non-conforming one: before the fix the *conforming* type was rejected. **Exact values are positional, not structural.** `params()`/`return_type()` matched the supplied values against the reconstructed types by structural equality, so a parameter the author wrote as a concrete type could be handed the caller's type argument whenever the two happened to coincide. The mapping is now read off the callable's own `TyTemplate`s — a position reports an exact value only when it is written as exactly that type parameter (`TyTemplate::TypeArgRef`); a nested occurrence (`T[]`) decomposes normally and keeps the overlay. Pinned by a test whose second parameter is declared as the very class supplied for `T`. **Also:** re-specializing an already-bound descriptor gets its own message (telling the caller it "is not generic" pointed at the wrong mistake); a fully supplied frame that still fails to reconstruct now throws instead of silently producing an `unknown` descriptor that denies being generic; the call hot path reads a `GenericFunction`'s two carried lanes from one deref; and `is_generic` no longer allocates a name and an argument vector to answer an arity question. ## Notes - A descriptor is still a `type` value, so descriptor **equality is type equality** — mint-only, and a specialization's mint is the static digest of its reconstructed function type. Two descriptors specialized from different runtime classes therefore compare equal when their signatures do not mention the type parameter (a `$render_prompt` companion is exactly that shape), even though their `return_type()`s differ. That is the BEP-066 rule working as designed — the descriptor denotes a function type, not an instantiation — but it is worth knowing before anyone keys a cache on one. - The arity message is phrased against the parameters *still* awaiting arguments. Specialization is all-at-once today, so that is always the full count; if partial specialization ever lands, the message already says the right thing. ## Deferred - **Bounds in `generic_params()`.** A bound's args are `TyTemplate`s over the callee's own frame, so `T extends Comparable<T>` has no `type` value to report and every workaround is a policy choice (drop silently / substitute `unknown` / render a string / introduce a `Bound` row). Shipped names + count; the ruling is written up separately. `specialize` enforces every bound regardless. - **Static sugar `specialize<T1, …>()`.** Did not fall out cheaply — it needs a turbofish-to-`type.of<T>()` desugaring at the call site rather than a native. - **Family specialize.** Companions are specialized individually, as ratified (`GenericList` and `GenericList$render_prompt` are separate entries). ## Tests New `crates/baml_tests/tests/reflect_specialize.rs`, 13 cases: the item-3 flow end to end with a runtime-minted type (asserting the rendered prompt carries the runtime class's fields), the same shape with a static type, the `is_generic` truth table over all four cells, `generic_params` names/count, specialized signature readback, mint identity on both the descriptor and the callable side, arity mismatch, an interface-bound violation, an `AnyClass`-bound violation, specialize-on-non-generic, the unspecialized signature read, a non-descriptor function type, and contract enforcement on extraction. ## Snapshot churn Eight files — **6 modified, 1 added, 1 deleted** — every one a consequence of adding one class and four methods to the stdlib: 1. `baml_cli__…__describe_package_functions_documents_unspecialized_generic_omission.snap` — **deleted with its test.** It existed to pin the omission contract in `baml describe`, and that contract is gone. Replaced by `…__describe_package_functions_documents_the_generic_listing_contract.snap`, asserting the new docstring instead. 2. `baml_cli__…__render_builtin_package_listing.snap` — one added row, `class baml.reflect.function.GenericParam`, plus the line-number shifts in `reflect.baml` from the docstring edits. 3. `baml_tests__compiler2_tir__phase5__snapshot_baml_package_items.snap` — `baml.reflect.function` gains `class GenericParam { methods: [] }`, and `class Type`'s method list gains `is_generic, generic_params, specialize, get`. 4-6. `__baml_std__` `03_ppir`, `04_5_mir`, `06_codegen` — the same class (with its generated `GenericParam$stream` companion) and the same four builtin methods, at each stage. `05_diagnostics` is unchanged: the stdlib still compiles clean. 7-8. `bytecode_format__bytecode_display_expanded{,_unoptimized}` — global slot indices shift by exactly +4 (`call 917` → `call 921` and so on), the four new builtin functions in the global table. No instruction changes. Regenerated after the rebase rather than hand-merged, since the base numbers moved too. The reflection test suites themselves are `assert_eq!` on engine values, so they contribute nothing here. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added reflection support for generic functions, including parameter inspection, type specialization, signature access, and callable retrieval. * Generic functions and generated companions now appear in package function listings. * Added validation for specialization arguments, including count and type-bound checks. * Expanded truthiness behavior for the `!` operator beyond boolean values. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved reflection errors and guidance for incomplete, invalid, or unavailable generic signatures. * Improved runtime type diagnostics with clearer messages and suggested corrections. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
