Conversation
A scripted module carried its script as a fixed 1 KB array, plus a second copy to notice edits — resident whether or not a script was loaded, so six modules held ~16 KB of a classic ESP32's 320 KB for text that was mostly empty. The script now lives in a file; the module holds its name, reads it into a right-sized buffer to compile, and frees it. Scripts are bounded by the filesystem instead of by an array nobody can grow. Performance: desktop 132 us/tick (7575 fps), esp32 2151 us/tick (464 fps). Light domain - A `script` control (~32 B) replaces the `source` textarea in all three bindings. The UI loads, edits and saves the file through the /api/file endpoints that already existed, so this needed no new backend surface. A fresh module reports "no script — set the script name" and renders nothing, rather than every new module compiling the same default. - The rebuild check is a 4-byte FNV-1a of the script text, not a second copy of it. It only ever answered "did this change". - Per-binding control-name pools are gone: the engine owns the names it publishes now, so three private copies of the same fact went with them. - /moonlive/ is created on demand — the write endpoint does not make parent directories, so a first save on a fresh device failed with nowhere obvious to look. Core - The engine copies declared control NAMES out of the source before returning. They pointed into the source text, which the caller is now free to release the moment compile() ends — and does. A control briefly appeared named "\x05" before this was found. - IrProgram's op array is heap-allocated and sized from a token count, RAII-owned (destructor frees, copy deleted). It was a ~2 KB stack member on a 12 KB main task, the same cost for a one-statement script as a full one — so growing it would have traded a compile limit for a stack overflow. SEVEN sequential statements used to fail; forty compile. kMaxIrOps 64 → 4096 is now a sanity bound, not the working limit. - Widening that count to uint16_t left four uint8_t loop counters iterating over it — three lowerers and IrProgram::hasInline — which wrapped at 256 ops and spun forever. On a device that is a watchdog reset from a script that merely got long. Bisected (60 statements fine, 80 hung); the regression test HANGS when the fix is reverted, which is how it was checked. - ParlioLedDriver asks the platform for its 65535-byte transfer cap rather than naming the number in the light domain, and an over-capacity frame reports the ceiling in lights per pin on both the reinit and tick paths — the KB figure was the one a user could not act on. Tests - A shared fixture writes each script to a file, so tests exercise the path that ships. It is thread-local: the concurrency test compiles from two threads, and a shared name buffer had them compiling each other's script. - Tests that relied on a built-in default script now name one. There is no default any more. Docs/CI - MIGRATING: `source` is gone, so a persisted script is an unknown key and ignored — the entry says where to find the text (/.config/Layouts.json as "N.source") and how to restore it. - The three module specs, and the plan's step 1 marked done with what actually shipped. Verified on the desktop: a 16x12 scripted grid layout with a scripted lines effect, both compiled from files written over the API, surviving a restart and reloading from persistence. Not yet run on hardware — the boards were unreachable; that is next. Flash: esp32 1762368, esp32s3-n16r8 1752992, esp32s31 2025600, esp32p4-eth 1603952, desktop 1138184. Tests: 1326 cases.

Keep the core layer independent from the platform layer.
MoonLiveIr.h now imports platform/platform.h, and IrProgram calls platform::alloc() and platform::free(). This breaks the src/core/** boundary. Inject a core-neutral allocation interface, or move the allocation owner outside src/core. The dependency also forces moondeck/moonlive/disasm.py to link the desktop platform implementation.
As per path instructions: “src/core/** … Must be platform-independent — no platform includes.” Based on learnings: “inject a core-neutral executable-code placement interface into MoonLive or relocate the runtime placement layer outside src/core.”

Invalidate prior code when file loading fails.
These failure paths return before engine.compile() runs. An existing program therefore remains ok(): an effect keeps rendering, a layout keeps placing old coordinates, and a modifier keeps applying its old mapping while the status reports the new file error.
Add a MoonLive operation that drops code while preserving the control arena. Call it on every pre-compile file failure and reset hashOut to zero.

Hardware found what 1228 tests did not: naming a script never recompiled anything. The
effect still asked whether the "source" control had changed - a control renamed to
"script" - and the layout cached its compiled program behind a hash that a control write
never cleared. Both held a new filename while running the previous script.
Performance: desktop 127 us/tick (7874 fps), esp32 2151 us/tick (464 fps).
Light domain
- MoonLiveEffect::affectsPrepare tests "script". Found on a P4: the effect showed the new
name and dyn=0, having compiled nothing. The unit tests call prepare() directly, so the
control-change path had no coverage at all — which is why they passed.
- MoonLiveLayout invalidates its compiled hash when the script control is written.
addText binds the buffer directly, so a control write never reached setScript() and
compile()'s early-return kept the old program. Pinned by a test that fails without it.
- A script name is a BASENAME ending in .mlv, rejected otherwise. It was pasted straight
into the path, so `../.config/NetworkModule.json` would have read the device's saved
credentials as a script. The fixed directory is the boundary; now it holds.
- reportOverCapacity counts down through frameBytesFor instead of dividing. The frame is
64-byte rounded, so the division overshot by one: it reported 898 lights per lane, whose
frame rounds to 65536 against a 65535 cap. A limit that still fails is worse than none.
Core
- MoonLive::compile's staging buffer and each assembler's buf_ are heap-allocated, RAII
owned, with every write and both branch patchers guarded against a failed allocation.
That is ~4.1 KB off a compile chain sharing a 12 KB task — the plan named this ("buf_
inside the assembler, itself a stack local") and step 1 had only done IrProgram, while
raising kCodeCap 768 → 2048 grew what remained.
Scripts/MoonDeck
- The monitor opens its serial port before probing the network. raised_log_level contacts
every device in moondeck.json at a 3 s timeout each; with a dozen registered and most
powered off, that was half a minute before the first byte — losing the boot output it was
pointed at.
Docs/CI
- MIGRATING no longer tells a layout user to edit the `source` control it just removed.
- The Parlio ceilings are the corrected 897/673/442/332, and platform.h says plainly that a
0 transfer cap means NO bound rather than zero bytes.
- Backlog: MoonLive compiling watchdogs a classic ESP32 — `rst:0x8 (TG1WDT_SYS_RESET)`,
captured on serial while adding one layout. Not a panic and not the stack overflow I first
chased: the compile simply takes longer than the 12 s task watchdog allows while the
render task waits. The stack work above did not change it. The entry records the measured
signature, the ruled-out theories, and to measure before assuming which part is slow.
Verified on the P4: layout 256 lights 16x16 (268 B) and effect (988 B), both compiled from
files written over the API. The classic still resets, now with the watchdog signature.

| - **MoonLive compiling watchdogs a classic ESP32** (2026-08-12). Naming a script on an Olimex Gateway resets the board with `rst:0x8 (TG1WDT_SYS_RESET)` — the TASK watchdog at 12 s, not a panic: there is no `Guru Meditation`, no backtrace, and the last serial lines are ordinary ticks. So the compile is not crashing, it is taking longer than twelve seconds with the render task waiting on it, and the watchdog does its job. Bench-captured on serial while adding one `MoonLiveLayout` with `grid.mlv`; the P4 compiles the same script in well under a second. | ||
|
|
||
| **Not a stack overflow** — that was the earlier theory and it was wrong. ~4.1 KB was moved off the compile chain (`MoonLive::compile`'s staging buffer and each assembler's `buf_`, both now heap, RAII-owned) which was worth doing on its own merits (the plan named it) but did not change this: the board still resets, now with the watchdog signature rather than `Double exception`. The earlier `Double exception` runs came from a board carrying persisted WiFi credentials, a separate issue. | ||
|
|
||
| **Where to look:** the classic's ticks already read ~9 ms with `renderWait` ~8 ms BEFORE any compile, so the render loop has almost no slack. Either the compile is genuinely that slow on a 240 MHz single-issue Xtensa with no PSRAM, or something in the path blocks (the LittleFS read, `platform::alloc` under a fragmented heap). Measure first — instrument `compileScriptFile` with timings and run it on the classic — before assuming which. Moving the compile off the render task is the likely fix, but it is a scheduling change and wants its own cycle. | ||

Separate the watchdog observation from the unverified cause.
The evidence shows that the compile path did not return before the 12-second task-watchdog deadline. It does not prove that CPU compilation itself exceeded 12 seconds because Line 297 still lists LittleFS and platform::alloc blocking as alternatives. Replace the causal wording with “the compile path did not return before twelve seconds.”

Move memory ownership behind a core-neutral interface.

A script's variables and call arguments now live in the call frame instead of registers, so how complex a script can be is a memory question rather than a register-count one. Scripted layouts and effects run on desktop and on RISC-V (an S31 held layout + effect + modifier for over an hour); on Xtensa a script that stores a pixel still fails, for a windowed-ABI reason documented below. KPI: 16384lights | Desktop:1094KB | tick:124/100/3/6/124/281/20/4/272/70/17/22/5/124/22/7/243/45/4us(FPS:8064/10000/333333/166666/8064/3558/50000/250000/3676/14285/58823/45454/200000/8064/45454/142857/4115/22222/250000) | ESP32:1589KB | src:220(56124) | test:163(32995) | lizard:157w Core - Script variables get frame slots: a `for`'s counter and limit each take one, a read is a Reload into a temp that dies immediately. The guard that protected a local's register is gone — every vreg reaching freeTemp is now a temp. - Call arguments are staged through the frame: each is parked as soon as it is computed and all are reloaded for the one instruction that reads them, so only one argument occupies a register at a time. Measured on Xtensa: grid.mlv 212 -> 186 bytes, three-deep nesting compiling for the first time, and looped effects, four-deep layouts and plasma compiling at all. - spillToBudget numbers its slots above the front end's and refuses a compile when either exceeds what the backend's frame can address — checked before the "already fits" early return, which used to skip it entirely. - register-and-slot-contract.md writes down who owns which register index and which frame slot, because four places derive numbers from each other. Light domain - A failed script load is latched against the NAME that failed, not as a bare flag. As a bool it latched on the empty script every device boots with and then skipped every later compile, so a card sat at "no script" forever. - Layout rebuilds run on the render thread: HTTP marks the tree dirty and tick() does the work at a frame boundary. A scripted layout's compiled code has its frame on the calling task's stack, so an HTTP handler ran it on the web server's stack rather than the one the pipeline is budgeted against. Platform - Xtensa: a14/a15 removed from the vreg map — they carry retw.n's return linkage, and using them corrupted the return path (IllegalInstruction on every scripted layout). static_assert now covers scratch and window registers. - Xtensa: branch relaxation. Conditional branches carry a signed byte of displacement; a loop body past ~127 bytes was silently truncated into the middle of the program. Emitted as inverted-condition-over-`j` (18-bit), with a range check that refuses rather than miscompiles. - Xtensa: the call RESULT is parked in the frame, not in a12. call8 rotates the window, so the callee's a4 IS our a12 and it overwrote the stash. - All three backends bounds-check their register-map lookup: the inline ops address scratch as vregsUsed+n, and an out-of-range index read past the array and named a register chosen by accident. - currentThreadId(): C++ thread_local is unusable on ESP32 — the compiler reaches TLS through THREADPTR, which is 0 on a FreeRTOS task created without it, so the access faults at 0xfffffff0 and dies as a Double exception. Tests - The device backends now run on the development machine: two per-ISA TUs share one body, driven by a `lower` seam on compileSource. Golden length + byte hash per backend catch an emission change without flashing a board; a call-bearing script is length-only, because it embeds a host address that ASLR moves. - Regression tests for the give-up latch, loop-extended live intervals (all tests passed with extension disabled before this), and the frame-capacity guard. The fixture no longer leaves 79 t*.mlv files behind per run. Docs/CI - Plan-20260813 supersedes 20260809 from step 4: what a windowed register ABI is, why Xtensa has one and arm64/RISC-V do not, and how to treat it as flat (restrict the map to a2..a7, which needs the host arguments in the frame — step 3b, not yet done). Steps 1-3 marked done. - backlog-light.md records the Xtensa root cause with the ESP-IDF citation: "a8..a15 clobbered (if window_spill8)" against a map of a2..a11. - disasm.py did not link MoonLiveSpill.cpp and compiled every script against modifierSysVars, so it had never once read the shipped grid.mlv. Reviews - 👾 pre-commit gates: 10 passed, 0 failed, 3 skipped (conditional triggers not matched). GCC caught three issues clang did not: -Wshadow in the Xtensa call encoders, and std::memcpy/ssize_t resolving inside the test's wrapper namespace.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/history/plans/Plan-20260813` - MoonLive on a stack machine — the frame
is where values live.md:
- Around line 174-179: Update the plan to require a core-neutral executable-code
placement and release interface, or move that responsibility outside src/core,
before extending heap-backed buffers. Ensure MoonLive core code no longer
directly includes platform/platform.h or owns platform-specific
executable-memory allocation; preserve platform details behind the new boundary.
- Around line 15-19: Update the fenced arithmetic block near the
register-allocation explanation to include an appropriate language tag, such as
text, on its opening fence while preserving the block contents.
In `@moondeck/moonlive/disasm.py`:
- Around line 54-59: Move the emitter build currently assembled in disasm.py
behind the project’s MoonDeck build entry point instead of extending the direct
c++ command. Update the relevant disassembly build flow to invoke the
established MoonDeck script and preserve the existing source dependencies.
In `@moondeck/moonlive/emit_xtensa.cpp`:
- Around line 33-36: Update the binding selection near the binding and sysvars
initialization to accept only “layout”, “effect”, and “modifier”; detect any
other value and return an appropriate error before selecting sysvars or
continuing disassembly. Preserve the existing sysvar mappings for the three
supported bindings.
In `@moonlive/effects/plasma.mlv`:
- Around line 5-6: Update the execution-cost comment in the plasma effect to
state that each cell performs nine host calls: three beat calls, three sin or
cos calls, and three scale calls; remove the inaccurate reference to scale(t,
...).
In `@src/core/moonlive/moonlive_emit.h`:
- Around line 70-86: Remove the unused three-argument lowerToBytes declaration
from the MoonDeck emit_xtensa.cpp code, and rely on the canonical declaration in
moonlive_emit.h so the tool’s API matches the four-argument Xtensa definition.
In `@src/core/moonlive/MoonLiveCompiler.cpp`:
- Around line 447-449: Update parseFor to validate slotHighWater before each
loop slot allocation, matching parseCall’s kMaxLocals boundary check and
emitting a source-level failure instead of allowing out-of-range slots. Apply
the guard to both counter and limit allocations near the slotHighWater
increments, while preserving the existing localCount nesting check.
In `@src/core/moonlive/MoonLiveSpill.cpp`:
- Around line 240-268: In the spill-allocation loop, add a local assertion or
explicit early return before accessing active[nActive - 1] to enforce keepable
>= 1; retain the existing guard that establishes this invariant and prevent any
keepable == 0 path from indexing active out of bounds.
In `@src/core/moonlive/MoonLiveSpill.h`:
- Around line 30-32: Update the documentation for spillToBudget so slotsUsed is
described as including the program’s local slots and not as zero when no
registers spill; preserve the existing contract that it reports the prologue
capacity required by ir.localSlots and any spills.
In `@src/core/Scheduler.h`:
- Around line 69-82: Make prepareRequested_ an std::atomic<bool> and include the
atomic header. Update the tick() consumption path to use exchange(false,
std::memory_order_relaxed), while keeping requestPrepareTree() as the producer
so concurrent callers cannot lose requests.
In `@src/light/moonlive/MoonLiveBuiltins_light.h`:
- Around line 162-178: Update detail::SinkSlot and addLightSink() so slot
ownership is synchronized: make SinkSlot::owner an std::atomic<uintptr_t>, read
it atomically when checking existing ownership, and claim free slots with
compare_exchange_strong rather than separate load/store operations. Apply the
same atomic claim behavior in setAddLightSink() if it performs equivalent slot
registration, while preserving the overflow-sink fallback.
In `@src/light/moonlive/MoonLiveLayout.h`:
- Around line 127-132: Update the /api/file write handling around fsWriteStream
so writes targeting /moonlive/<script_> invalidate the cached compiled state by
clearing compiledHash_ and invoking the appropriate MoonLiveLayout invalidation
or setScript flow. Ensure the next compile rereads the updated script file while
leaving unrelated file writes unchanged.
In `@src/platform/desktop/moonlive_lower_host.cpp`:
- Around line 36-43: Update the RegBudget construction in
src/platform/desktop/moonlive_lower_host.cpp lines 36-43,
src/platform/esp32/moonlive_lower_riscv.cpp lines 36-39, and
src/platform/esp32/moonlive_lower_xtensa.cpp lines 37-38 so squeeze overrides
only regs and slots while the locally computed scratch remains reserved; use
RegBudget{squeeze->regs, scratch, squeeze->slots} in each backend, preserving
the existing non-squeeze budgets.
In `@src/platform/esp32/moonlive_asm_riscv.cpp`:
- Around line 119-129: Update RiscvAssembler::spillStore and spillLoad, plus
their desktop host equivalents, to reject spill operations when no frame has
been established, such as when frameBytes_ is zero, in addition to the existing
slot bound check. Set the assembler overflow/diagnostic state and return before
emitting any instruction so a missing frame cannot address the caller’s stack
frame.
In `@src/platform/esp32/moonlive_asm_xtensa.cpp`:
- Around line 61-99: Update XtensaAssembler::prologue so the frame-size
calculation reserves a named 16-byte kExtraSaveArea before alignment and before
placing result or spill slots. Ensure kResultSlot and all spill offsets remain
below this reserved top area for every slot count, while preserving the existing
alignment and overflow behavior; add coverage for a deep callx8 chain on Xtensa.
In `@test/unit/core/unit_moonlive_spill.cpp`:
- Around line 178-194: Guard the normal compile assertion in the test case
around compileSource with MM_MOONLIVE_HAS_HOST_JIT so it only runs when the
default lowerer is supported; keep the explicit noRoom and noSlots budget checks
unchanged and still verify their expected failures.

Preserve a platform-neutral allocation boundary.
The plan relies on platform::alloc for core-owned heap storage but does not define the required seam. Based on learnings, src/core/moonlive/MoonLive.cpp currently includes platform/platform.h and directly owns executable-memory placement and freeing. The required follow-up is a core-neutral executable-code placement interface or relocation outside src/core. As per path instructions, src/core/** must be platform-independent — no platform includes. Add this boundary before extending heap-backed buffers.

Use a MoonDeck build entry point.
This change extends a direct c++ build command. Move the emitter build behind a project MoonDeck script so it uses the repository build contract.
As per coding guidelines, “Use the project's MoonDeck scripts for build, flash, monitor, test, and check tasks rather than invoking alternate tooling directly.”

Reject an unknown binding.
An unrecognized binding silently selects layout. An effect or modifier script can then produce misleading disassembly.
Accept only layout, effect, and modifier. Return an error for other values.

Every shipped MoonLive script now runs on every target. plasma.mlv was refused on RISC-V boards while working on an S3 and on desktop, because one fixed 2 KB buffer was shared by backends that differ by up to 1.9x on identical source. The buffer is now sized from the script itself, and disasm.py reads all three backends so this class of bug is found without a board. Performance: unchanged — the emitted bytes for every shipped script are byte-identical on all three backends; only the buffer around them moved. Core - kCodeCap stops being the working limit and becomes a sanity bound (16 KB). codeCapFor(tokens) sizes the emitted-code buffer per script at 24 bytes/token, measured against every shipped script on all three backends (worst real case: random-pixel.mlv at 16.4). Same pattern the IR op array already used. - countTokens() is shared by the caller and the compiler, so the two cannot measure a script differently. - Scheduler::prepareRequested_ is atomic: it is written from HTTP handlers and consumed on the render thread, and a lost request means a script edit silently never applies. tick() consumes it with exchange(). - parseFor bounds its slot allocation on slotHighWater, not just localCount — parseCall releases staging slots it never counted, so the two diverge. - MoonLiveSpill: state the keepable >= 1 invariant the furthest-interval index depends on; correct the slotsUsed contract (it includes the program's locals, so it is not zero when nothing spills). Light domain - The addLight sink table claims slots with compare_exchange instead of load-then-store: two threads could both take the same slot and end up sharing one sink, which is the aliasing the table exists to prevent. Platform - The three assemblers take their buffer size as a constructor argument, and each lowerer passes the caller's own cap through — the staging buffer and the assembler buffer can no longer disagree about how much a script may emit. - RISC-V slotAddr computed its offset from sp while spillStore/spillLoad used s0. Since s0 == sp + frameBytes_, the argument block handed to host calls pointed below the frame. Found by reading the emitted code, not by guessing. - spillStore/spillLoad/slotAddr refuse when no frame was established (RISC-V and host): prologue() bails on overflow leaving frameBytes_ at 0, and the offsets would then address the caller's stack. Xtensa needs no guard — its offsets are absolute from a1. - `squeeze` overrides only regs and slots, never the backend's own scratch reservation, which the lowerer is about to use. Scripts/MoonDeck - disasm.py --isa xtensa|riscv|arm64|all. emit_xtensa.cpp becomes emit_isa.cpp, one file selected by -DMM_EMIT_<ISA>. On macOS llvm-objdump is found via xcrun and has no raw-binary mode, so the bytes are wrapped with .incbin first. - The tool includes the canonical lowerToBytes declaration rather than its own three-argument copy, which linked only because it never passes squeeze. Tests - "every shipped script compiles for <ISA>" runs the verbatim ring.mlv and plasma.mlv source per backend. Control-checked: it fails on RISC-V with the old fixed cap and passes with the fix. - The device-codegen harness sizes its buffer the way production does, so a test cannot pass while a right-sized caller overflows. - Golden lengths/hashes re-recorded; "fill plus a loop on Xtensa" was pinned at 0 (REFUSED) and now emits 254 bytes. - The positive assertion in the impossible-budget test is gated on MM_MOONLIVE_HAS_HOST_JIT — x86-64 has no backend, so a normal compile there legitimately fails. Docs/CI - plasma.mlv's cost comment said four host calls per cell and referenced a call that is not there; it is nine (3 beat, 2 sin, 1 cos, 3 scale). - Backlog: MoonLive has no x86-64 backend, so scripts do not run on Windows; editing a script's contents via /api/file does not clear compiledHash_. Reviews - Rabbit: Scheduler atomic — done. Sink-slot compare_exchange — done. squeeze overriding scratch — done. Spill without a frame — done (RISC-V + host). parseFor bounds — done. Three-arg lowerToBytes — done. Spill test gating — done. slotsUsed doc, plasma comment, fenced block, keepable invariant — done. emit_xtensa binding validation and its declaration — skipped, that file no longer exists and disasm.py's argparse already restricts the binding. Move the disasm build behind MoonDeck — skipped, disasm.py is a MoonDeck script. Xtensa kExtraSaveArea — skipped: it changes frame geometry on the one backend not yet verified on hardware this branch, and Xtensa is what we flash next. Script-contents invalidation — backlogged, pre-existing and belongs at the filesystem seam. Verified on hardware: S31 (RISC-V) runs the MoonLive grid layout and the plasma effect together, uptime climbing, 2160 bytes of compiled code resident — the exact program that used to overflow the 2 KB buffer. Xtensa is verified by test and by disassembly only; the S3 and the classic ESP32 are flashed next commit.

Scripted effects work on the ESP32 classic and the S3 for the first time. A single `setRGB` used to reset the board; three of the five shipped effects now run on both, and a structural check catches this class of defect on the host instead of on a bench. Performance: emitted code is unchanged in shape; the Xtensa frame grows 16 bytes per script (144 to 160) to hold the area the ABI reserves. Core - The Inline path refuses a builtin with more than four arguments instead of truncating to four and emitting an op that computes the wrong thing. Only a CALL is unbounded — its arguments go through the frame. - `push` validates opcode-specifically: a Call's `b` is an ARGUMENT COUNT, not a vreg, so checking it against kMaxVRegs capped arity at the register count that staging through the frame exists to escape. New kMaxCallArgs, bounded by the locals range. - `sourcesOf` reports a Call as reading no registers. Its arguments live in frame slots, so listing a/b/c as sources gave the argument count a live interval and let the rewriter remap it into a register number — it survived only because a fixed ABI vreg maps to itself. - Spill slots stop at kMaxLocals so they cannot land on the parked host arguments at slots 16..20. - codeCapFor is 24 -> 64 bytes/token. The old figure was measured with comments counted as tokens, which inflated the denominator and hid the real worst case: random-pixel.mlv is 39.3 bytes/token and did not fit its own buffer. Light domain - setAddLightSink installs only into an owned slot. It used to write through the shared overflow sink when both slots were taken, so two overflow threads ran through each other's context — the aliasing the two-slot table prevents. A third concurrent runner now gets no sink and its addLight calls no-op. Platform - THE FIX: Xtensa's prologue reserves the 16-byte BASE SAVE AREA the windowed ABI owns at the top of every frame. The hardware spills the caller's a0..a3 there — including the RETURN ADDRESS — when the register window overflows during a call. The frame was sized to exactly cover the slots, so the parked host arguments sat inside that region and a window overflow wrote through the return address. Every script reset both Xtensa boards with `IllegalInstruction` and a data address in A0. RISC-V and arm64 have no register window, hence no base-save area, hence never this bug. - `sHost` is derived from scratchTotal rather than a hard-coded offset, so the scratch reservation and the register it names cannot drift apart. It sat outside the reservation and worked only because the maps have spare entries. Tests - The STRUCTURAL CHECKER (Plan-20260813 verification item 2): frame offsets stay inside the frame and clear of the ABI-reserved top, and every branch lands on an instruction boundary. Control-checked — reverting the fix above makes it fail with "frame offset 128 vs frame 144", naming the bug that reset two boards. It reads the frame from the emitted `entry` instruction: the first version recomputed it from its own copy of the formula and therefore agreed with the backend even when the backend was wrong. - "every shipped script compiles for <ISA>" reads all 13 scripts from moonlive/ rather than two inline copies, so the test cannot drift from what ships. This is what found the codeCapFor shortfall. - The device-codegen harness sizes its buffer the way production does. - Xtensa vreg-map test pins the register count and that no two vregs alias. - Golden hashes re-recorded for the new frame size. Docs/CI - plasma.mlv's cost comment said four host calls per cell and named a call that is not there; it is nine. - Backlog: MoonLive has no x86-64 backend, so scripts do not run on Windows; editing a script's contents via /api/file does not clear compiledHash_. Reviews - Rabbit: Inline arity, Call-as-vreg in push and sourcesOf, spill-slot range, sink overflow, sHost derivation, plasma comment, MoonLive.cpp and MoonLiveSpill.h comments — done. Xtensa kExtraSaveArea — done, and it was the real bug; I skipped it last round as too risky without hardware, and the bench proved it. The all-13-scripts test — done by reading from disk. emit_xtensa binding validation and its stale declaration — skipped, that file no longer exists. Moving the disasm build behind MoonDeck — skipped, disasm.py is a MoonDeck script. compiledHash_ invalidation — backlogged, pre-existing and belongs at the filesystem seam. Verified on hardware, both Xtensa boards, identical results: onered, gradient and random-pixel run; lines and plasma still reset. The two that fail are the only two with a host call INSIDE a loop body — random-pixel has four nested calls and works, gradient has loops and works — so that is the next thing to chase. The structural checker covers Xtensa only: a RISC-V decoder is worth adding, but RISC-V has no register window and so is the backend least exposed to this defect class.

Require branch targets to remain inside the emitted routine.
A target equal to code.size() is one byte past the final instruction. It is not an instruction boundary inside the routine. The lowerers append the epilogue after all labels, so no valid generated branch should target this location. Require a strict < code.size() bound.

Two steps of the MoonLive scalability plan: the compiler stops paying a fixed price per script, and scripts stop living in RAM.
Scripts live on the filesystem
A scripted module carried its script as a fixed 1 KB array, plus a second 1 KB copy to notice edits, plus a name pool — resident whether or not a script was loaded. Six modules held ~16 KB of a classic ESP32's 320 KB for text that was mostly empty.
Now the module holds a name (~32 B). The script is read into a right-sized buffer to compile and freed immediately, so nothing script-sized stays in RAM, and a script is bounded by the filesystem rather than by an array nobody can grow.
The UI loads, edits and saves the file through the
/api/fileendpoints that already existed — this needed no new backend surface. The rebuild check became a 4-byte FNV-1a hash; it only ever answered "did this change".The 7-statement wall is gone
IrProgram's op array was a ~2 KB stack member on a 12 KB main task — the same cost for a one-statement script as a full one. Growing it would have traded a compile limit for a stack overflow (this project has lost a P4 to a large stack frame before). It is now heap-allocated, sized from a token count, and RAII-owned.Seven sequential statements used to fail; forty compile.
kMaxIrOps64 → 4096 is a sanity bound now, not the working limit.Three bugs, each caught by verification rather than by reading
uint16_twrap I introduced. Wideningcountleft fouruint8_tloop counters iterating over it — three lowerers andIrProgram::hasInline— which wrapped at 256 ops and spun forever. On a device that is a watchdog reset from a script that merely got long. Bisected (60 statements fine, 80 hung). The regression test hangs when the fix is reverted, which is the only reason it is worth having.DeclaredControl::namepointed into the source text, which the new loader frees as soon as compiling ends. It surfaced as a control literally named\x05. The engine now copies the names it publishes — which also made three per-binding name pools redundant./moonlive/did not exist on a fresh device, and the write endpoint does not create parent directories, so the first script save returned a 500.Also
ParlioLedDriverasks the platform for its 65535-byte transfer cap instead of naming the number in the light domain, and an over-capacity frame now reports the ceiling in lights per pin on both the reinit and tick paths — the KB figure was the one a user could not act on.Breaking
sourceis gone, so a persisted script is an unknown key and is ignored. A MoonLive module boots with no script and renders nothing until one is named. MIGRATING says where to find the old text (/.config/Layouts.jsonas"N.source") and how to restore it as a file.Verification
1326 tests, 20 scenarios inside their contracts, GCC build clean, all 10 gates green.
Desktop-verified end to end: a 16×12 scripted grid layout with a scripted lines effect, both compiled from files written over the API, surviving a restart and reloading from persistence.
Not yet run on hardware — the boards were unreachable while this was written. That is the next step, and it matters here: this changes how every scripted module loads, on the platform the work is specifically aimed at.
Known limits
lines.mlvwith z-planes still does not compile on any backend — three sweeps with a nested loop name more live values than 14 registers hold, verified with a 64 KB code buffer so it is the register ceiling, not code size. That is step 3 of the plan: spilling to the stack, on its own branch.Summary by CodeRabbit
