# Sprint WASM-RUNTIME-002: Complete Summary

**Sprint ID**: WASM-RUNTIME-002
**Duration**: 1 day (planned: 2-3 weeks)
**Goal**: Add pipes, loops, and functions to WASM bash runtime
**Status**: ✅ Week 1 COMPLETE - Ahead of Schedule
**Methodology**: EXTREME TDD (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR)

---

## Executive Summary

Sprint WASM-RUNTIME-002 has made **exceptional progress** in Day 1, completing all Week 1 objectives (Pipelines + Command Substitution) in a single day. The sprint is now **4+ days ahead of schedule** with **100% test pass rate** and **zero regressions**.

**Key Achievement**: From 49 WASM tests (Sprint 001) to 71 tests (Sprint 002 Day 1) with 100% passing.

---

## Completed Features

### 1. Pipelines (PIPE-001, PIPE-002) ✅

**Description**: Multi-stage command pipelines with stdin/stdout piping

**Examples**:
```bash
# 2-stage pipeline
echo "hello world" | wc -c     # Output: 12

# 3-stage pipeline
echo "a b c" | tr ' ' '\n' | wc -l     # Output: 3

# 4-stage pipeline
echo "hello" | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z' | tr ' ' '_' | wc -c     # Output: 6
```

**Tests**: 9 unit + 4 property (400 cases) = 13 tests, 100% passing

### 2. Command Substitution (SUB-001) ✅

**Description**: Capture command output and substitute into strings

**Examples**:
```bash
# Basic substitution
echo "Result: $(echo 'hello')"     # Output: Result: hello

# In variable assignment
greeting=$(echo 'Hello, World!')
echo "$greeting"                    # Output: Hello, World!

# With pipelines
result=$(echo 'test' | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z')
echo "$result"                      # Output: TEST

# Nested substitution
echo "Outer: $(echo 'Inner: $(echo nested)')"     # Output: Outer: Inner: nested

# Multiple substitutions
echo "A: $(echo 'a') B: $(echo 'b')"     # Output: A: a B: b
```

**Tests**: 9 unit tests, 100% passing

### 3. New Builtins ✅

**`wc` (word count)**:
```bash
wc -c     # Count characters
wc -l     # Count lines
wc -w     # Count words
```

**`tr` (translate characters)**:
```bash
tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'     # Lowercase to uppercase
tr ' ' '\n'        # Spaces to newlines (with escape handling)
tr ' ' '_'         # Spaces to underscores
```

## Technical Implementation

### Pipeline Architecture

```rust
// Pipeline execution: cmd1 | cmd2 | cmd3
fn execute_pipeline(&mut self, line: &str) -> Result<i32> {
    let commands = self.split_pipeline(line);
    let mut prev_stdout = String::new();

    for (i, cmd_str) in commands.iter().enumerate() {
        if i > 0 {
            self.io.set_stdin(&prev_stdout);
        }

        // Execute command
        // ...

        prev_stdout = self.io.get_stdout();
    }

    Ok(exit_code)
}
```

**Key Features**:
- Quote-aware pipeline splitting (`echo 'a | b'` is NOT a pipeline)
- Sequential stdin→stdout piping
- Multi-stage support (2, 3, 4+ commands)
- Error propagation from any stage

### Command Substitution Architecture

```rust
// Expand $(cmd) before parsing
fn expand_command_substitutions(&self, text: &str) -> String {
    // Find all $(...)
    // Handle nested substitutions (depth tracking)
    // Execute command in sub-executor
    // Replace $(cmd) with trimmed output
}

// Sub-executor isolation
fn execute_substitution(&self, cmd: &str) -> Result<String> {
    let mut sub_executor = BashExecutor {
        env: self.env.clone(),
        vfs: self.vfs.clone(),
        io: IoStreams::new_capture(),
        exit_code: 0,
    };

    let result = sub_executor.execute(cmd)?;
    Ok(result.stdout)
}
```

**Key Features**:
- Nested substitution support with depth tracking
- Isolated execution context (cloned env + vfs)
- Proper output trimming (remove trailing newlines, bash behavior)
- Expansion happens BEFORE command parsing (correct order)

### I/O Infrastructure

```rust
// Enhanced IoStreams
pub struct IoStreams {
    pub stdout: Box<dyn Write>,
    pub stderr: Box<dyn Write>,
    stdin: Arc<Mutex<String>>,     // NEW for pipelines
    // ...
}

impl IoStreams {
    pub fn get_stdin(&self) -> String
    pub fn set_stdin(&mut self, content: &str)
    pub fn clear_stdin(&mut self)
}
```

## Key Learnings

### 1. Order of Operations Matters

**Issue**: Initial implementation expanded `$(...)` AFTER parsing command line, causing `)` to appear in output.

**Solution**: Expand command substitutions BEFORE parsing into words.

**Learning**: Bash expansion order is critical - command substitution must happen early.

### 2. Quote Awareness is Essential

**Implementation**: Both `split_pipeline()` and `expand_command_substitutions()` track quote state.

**Example**: `echo 'test | not a pipe'` correctly NOT split on `|`.

**Learning**: Every parsing function must handle quotes correctly.

### 3. Nested Structures Need Depth Tracking

**Implementation**: Command substitution tracks depth for `$(echo $(nested))`.

**Code**:
```rust
let mut depth = 1;
while let Some(c) = chars.next() {
    if c == '$' && chars.peek() == Some(&'(') {
        depth += 1;
    } else if c == ')' {
        depth -= 1;
        if depth == 0 { break; }
    }
}
```

**Learning**: Recursive structures (nested substitutions, nested quotes) require depth counters.

### 4. Sub-Executors Need Isolation

**Implementation**: Command substitution creates new executor with cloned env/vfs.

**Benefit**: Changes in substituted command don't affect parent context.

**Learning**: Isolation prevents side effects and matches bash behavior.

### 5. Property Testing Finds Edge Cases

**Examples**:
- `prop_pipeline_deterministic` - Ensures same input = same output
- `prop_pipeline_wc_counts_chars` - Validates character counting math
- `prop_pipeline_tr_reversible` - Checks uppercase/lowercase transformations

**Value**: 400 property test cases = hundreds of manual tests avoided.

**Learning**: Property tests provide high confidence with minimal code.

## Challenges and Solutions

### Challenge 1: stdin/stdout Piping

**Problem**: How to pipe output from cmd1 to input of cmd2?

**Solution**:
1. Added stdin support to `IoStreams`
2. Created new `IoStreams` for each pipeline stage
3. Set stdin from previous stdout before executing

**Time**: 30 minutes

### Challenge 2: Command Substitution Parsing

**Problem**: Nested `$(...)` with matching parentheses.

**Solution**: Depth tracking counter to find matching `)`.

**Time**: 20 minutes

### Challenge 3: VirtualFilesystem Cloning

**Problem**: `execute_substitution()` needs to clone VFS.

**Solution**: Added `#[derive(Clone)]` to `VirtualFilesystem`.

**Time**: 5 minutes

### Challenge 4: Escape Sequence Handling in `tr`

**Problem**: `tr ' ' '\n'` needs to interpret `\n` as newline, not literal backslash-n.

**Solution**: Added `unescape()` helper function.

**Time**: 15 minutes (from Day 1 pipelines work)

## What to Improve

### 1. Test Organization

**Current**: Tests in same file as implementation
**Better**: Separate test modules for clarity
**Action**: Consider reorganizing for Sprint 003

### 2. Performance Profiling

**Current**: Manual timing observations
**Better**: Automated benchmarking
**Action**: Add criterion.rs benchmarks

### 3. Error Messages

**Current**: Basic error strings
**Better**: Detailed, helpful messages with suggestions
**Action**: Improve error handling in future features

---

## Next Steps

### Immediate Options

**Option A: Continue with Loops (LOOP-001, LOOP-002)**
- Estimated: 3-4 days (given current velocity: 1-2 days)
- Value: HIGH - loops are essential for practical scripting
- Complexity: MEDIUM - requires control flow implementation

**Option B: Pause for Integration**
- Integrate current runtime with WOS/interactive.paiml.com
- Get user feedback on existing features
- Adjust roadmap based on feedback

**Option C: Add Property Tests for Substitution**
- Currently only 9 unit tests for substitution
- Add 3-4 property tests (300-400 cases)
- Increase confidence before moving forward

### Recommendation

**Continue with Loops (Option A)** because:
1. Sprint momentum is excellent
2. Loops build naturally on existing features
3. Completing Week 2 would put us 1+ week ahead
4. User feedback can come after more features complete

**Alternative**: Add substitution property tests first (Option C), THEN loops.
