Step 76: LayoutManager with docking layout presets (Sprint 4 start)

Three preset layouts (VSCode/Emacs/JetBrains) with panel visibility,
size ratios, dirty flag for rebuild, and file-based persistence.
Also includes revised sprint4_plan.md and new sprint5_plan.md.
10/10 tests pass.

# Sprint 4: Professional Editor — Checklist (Revised)
> **Goal:** Transform the proof-of-concept GUI into a professional structured code editor
> by wiring the 18 unused backend components, integrating LSP for language intelligence,
> and adding real editor features with proper layout presets.
>
> **Current state:** Basic ImGui InputTextMultiline with preview panels. Tiny dockable
> windows that require manual resizing. Backend has 33 components; GUI uses only 5.
> Only Python/C++/Elisp tree-sitter grammars.
>
> **Target state:** A usable code editor with layout presets (VSCode/Emacs/JetBrains),
> inline syntax highlighting, LSP-powered diagnostics and navigation, native file dialogs,
> annotation UI, cross-language projection, optimization controls, and support for 8+ languages.
>
> **Key architectural decisions (from feature review):**
> - LSP integration provides standard language intelligence; Whetstone layers annotation-specific features on top
> - Layout presets are a first-class concept like keybinding profiles (not an afterthought)
> - AST extended with Import/ExternalModule concepts to prepare for Sprint 5 library-aware coding
> - Tree-sitter grammars added for JS/TS, Java, Rust, Go alongside existing Python/C++/Elisp
---
## Phase 4a: Layout & Code Editor Core (Steps 7683)
The two highest-impact gaps: the docking layout starts broken (tiny panels)
and the editor area is a plain textbox. Fix both before anything else.
- [ ] **Step 76: Layout presets and docking configuration**
Create `LayoutManager.h` with preset docking layouts, selectable like keybinding
profiles. Programmatically configure ImGui DockBuilder on first launch or profile switch.
Presets:
- **VSCode**: Explorer 20% left, Editor 60% center, Panel 20% bottom, status bar
- **Emacs**: Full-frame editor, optional side panels, minibuffer-style bottom bar
- **JetBrains**: Project tree left, Editor center, tool windows right and bottom
Menu: View > Layout > {VSCode, Emacs, JetBrains}. Default = VSCode.
Store user's choice in `~/.whetstone/layout.json`. Restore on next launch.
*New:* `LayoutManager.h`, modifies `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 77: Custom code editor renderer**
Replace InputTextMultiline with a custom ImGui text renderer that draws
characters individually with per-token colors from SyntaxHighlighter.
Cursor position, text selection, keyboard input handled manually.
Monospace grid layout. Blinking cursor. Visible whitespace toggle.
*New:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 78: Line numbers and gutter**
Fixed-width gutter on the left with line numbers (gray, right-aligned).
Gutter also serves as anchor for future markers (errors, annotations, breakpoints).
Click gutter = select entire line. Current line highlighted.
Gutter width auto-adjusts for file length (3-digit vs 4-digit line numbers).
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 79: Auto-indent and smart editing**
Wire `EditorMode.h` into the editor widget. On Enter: auto-indent based on
language rules (Python: indent after colon, C++: indent after brace).
Tab key inserts spaces per language config. Auto-close brackets/quotes.
*Wires:* `EditorMode.h`
- [ ] **Step 80: Scroll, selection, clipboard**
Smooth scrolling with mousewheel. Shift+click and Shift+arrow for selection.
Ctrl+C/X/V clipboard integration (SDL clipboard API). Ctrl+A select all.
Drag to select. Double-click selects word, triple-click selects line.
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 81: Code folding**
Collapse/expand function bodies and block statements. Fold indicators in the
gutter (▸/▾). Folded regions show `{...}` placeholder. Fold state per-buffer.
Uses tree-sitter node types to identify foldable ranges.
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 82: Minimap**
Narrow column on the right side of the editor showing a zoomed-out view of
the full file. Click to scroll. Highlight viewport position. Color-coded
to match syntax highlighting. Toggle via View menu.
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 83: Additional tree-sitter grammars**
Add tree-sitter grammars via FetchContent for JavaScript, TypeScript, Java,
Rust, and Go. Add `EditorMode` configs for each (indent rules, comment style,
bracket pairs). Language menu updated. Syntax highlighting works for all 8
languages. Parser CST-to-AST stubs (full conversion is Sprint 5).
*Modifies:* `CMakeLists.txt`, `EditorMode.h`, `SyntaxHighlighter.h`
---
## Phase 4b: File Management (Steps 8489)
Real file operations: native dialogs, filesystem tree, multi-tab.
- [ ] **Step 84: Native file dialogs**
Integrate `tinyfiledialogs` (single C file, no dependency) or Portable File
Dialogs via FetchContent. Replace the manual path-entry popup with OS-native
Open/Save dialogs. Save As when file is `(untitled)`. Filter by language
extension. Also used for "Open Folder" to set workspace root.
*New dependency + modifies:* `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 85: Filesystem tree in Explorer**
Replace hardcoded file list with a real recursive directory tree.
Root = workspace folder (CWD or user-selected via Open Folder). Tree nodes
for folders (expandable) and files (click to open). File/folder icons by
extension/type. Respects `.gitignore` patterns for hiding.
*Modifies:* `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 86: Multi-tab editing**
Wire `BufferManager.h` into the GUI. Each open file = a tab in the editor.
Click tab to switch. Middle-click or X button to close. Modified indicator (dot)
on tab. Ctrl+Tab to cycle. Close confirmation if modified. Each buffer gets
its own TextEditor + TextASTSync + CodeEditorWidget state.
*Wires:* `BufferManager.h`
- [ ] **Step 87: Welcome screen**
Wire `WelcomeScreen.h`. Show as a tab on startup when no file is open.
Recent files list (persisted to `~/.whetstone/recent.json`). Quick actions:
New File, Open File, Open Folder. Whetstone feature highlights. Keyboard
shortcut cheat sheet. Dismisses when a file is opened.
*Wires:* `WelcomeScreen.h`
- [ ] **Step 88: Drag-and-drop file open**
Handle SDL_DROPFILE events. Drop a file onto the editor window → open it
in a new tab. Drop a folder → set as workspace root. Visual feedback
during drag (overlay "Drop to open").
*Modifies:* `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 89: File watching and auto-reload**
Detect external file changes (stat-based polling every 2s). If file changed
on disk and buffer is clean → auto-reload. If buffer is dirty → prompt
"File changed on disk. Reload?" Auto-save option (configurable interval).
*New:* `FileWatcher.h`
---
## Phase 4c: LSP Client & Diagnostics (Steps 9096)
Two-layer intelligence: LSP for standard language features, Whetstone for annotations.
This is the biggest architectural change from the original plan.
- [ ] **Step 90: LSP client core**
Create `LSPClient.h` implementing the Language Server Protocol client.
Communicates with external LSP servers via JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout pipes.
Handles: initialize, initialized, shutdown, exit lifecycle.
Spawns LSP server processes (configurable per language).
*New:* `LSPClient.h`
- [ ] **Step 91: LSP diagnostics integration**
Wire `textDocument/didOpen`, `textDocument/didChange`, `textDocument/didSave`.
Receive `textDocument/publishDiagnostics` from LSP server. Parse diagnostic
ranges, severity, messages. Display in new "Problems" tab in bottom panel.
Click to jump to location. Merge with Whetstone-specific diagnostics.
*Modifies:* `LSPClient.h`, `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 92: LSP auto-completion**
Send `textDocument/completion` requests as user types (debounced).
Show completion popup near cursor with candidates from LSP. Icons by
completion kind (function, variable, keyword, snippet). Tab/Enter to accept.
Escape to dismiss. Filter as user types.
*Modifies:* `LSPClient.h`, `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 93: LSP hover and signature help**
On hover over a symbol, send `textDocument/hover` → show tooltip with
type info and docs. On typing `(` after a function, send
`textDocument/signatureHelp` → show parameter info popup.
*Modifies:* `LSPClient.h`, `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 94: Whetstone diagnostics layer**
Run `AnnotationValidator` and `StrategyValidator` alongside LSP diagnostics.
Whetstone diagnostics appear in the same Problems panel, tagged "[Whetstone]".
Gutter shows both LSP errors (red) and Whetstone annotation warnings (orange).
Wire `Pipeline.h` for full analysis pass (debounced, cached).
*Wires:* `AnnotationValidator.h`, `StrategyValidator.h`, `Pipeline.h`
- [ ] **Step 95: Gutter markers and inline squiggles**
Red circle (error) and yellow triangle (warning) icons in the gutter for
lines with diagnostics (from both LSP and Whetstone). Hover shows message
as tooltip. Red wavy underline under the specific token range. Uses
LSP diagnostic ranges directly; maps Whetstone node IDs → source positions.
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 96: LSP server configuration**
Settings panel section for LSP servers. Default configs:
- Python: `pylsp` or `pyright`
- C/C++: `clangd`
- Rust: `rust-analyzer`
- Go: `gopls`
- JS/TS: `typescript-language-server`
- Java: `jdtls`
User can override paths, add flags. Auto-detect installed servers.
Schema validation via `ast/Schema.h` for Whetstone's AST layer.
*Wires:* `ast/Schema.h`, modifies `SettingsManager.h`
---
## Phase 4d: Annotation UI (Steps 97102)
Make Whetstone's unique memory annotations visible and editable.
This is what differentiates Whetstone from every other editor.
- [ ] **Step 97: Annotation gutter markers**
Colored icons in the gutter for annotated functions/variables:
blue = @Reclaim(Tracing), orange = @Owner(Single), red = @Deallocate(Explicit),
green = @Lifetime(RAII), gray = @Allocate(Static). Hover shows annotation
details. Click opens annotation editor.
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 98: Inline annotation decorations**
Render annotation tags inline above or beside the annotated code:
`@Reclaim(Tracing)` as a subtle colored label. Click to edit.
Toggle visibility via View > Show Annotations. Respects layout preset
(VSCode shows above, Emacs shows in margin, JetBrains shows beside).
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 99: Add/edit annotation context menu**
Right-click on a function/variable → context menu with "Add Annotation...",
"Edit Annotation", "Remove Annotation". Sub-menu lists available annotation
types with strategy options. Mutations go through `ASTMutationAPI`.
Changes recorded in orchestrator journal for undo.
*Wires:* `ASTMutationAPI.h`
- [ ] **Step 100: Memory strategy suggestions**
Wire `MemoryStrategyInference`. Show lightbulb icon in the gutter when
the inferrer has a suggestion with confidence > 0.5. Click → popup showing
suggested annotation with confidence score and reason. "Apply" button adds
it via `ASTMutationAPI`. Suggestions refresh on language/code change.
*Wires:* `MemoryStrategyInference.h`
- [ ] **Step 101: Annotation conflict highlighting**
When `AnnotationValidator` detects a parent/child conflict, highlight both
annotations with a red border and connecting line in the gutter. Tooltip
explains the conflict. Quick-fix actions: "Remove child annotation",
"Change to match parent".
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 102: Memory strategy dashboard**
New dockable panel: "Memory Strategies". Overview of all annotations in the
current file. Grouped by type with counts. Click to navigate. Shows
inference confidence for unannotated functions. Module-level strategy summary.
Export annotations as JSON.
*New:* `StrategyDashboard` panel in `main.cpp`
---
## Phase 4e: Cross-Language & Optimization (Steps 103108)
Surface the code generation and optimization pipeline in the UI.
- [ ] **Step 103: Side-by-side generated code view**
Split the editor area: source on left, generated code on right (read-only,
syntax highlighted). Scroll-locked. Clicking a line in source highlights
the corresponding generated output. Target language selector dropdown.
*Wires:* `ast/Generator.h` (already used, now in split view)
- [ ] **Step 104: Cross-language projection button**
Toolbar button: "Project to..." with dropdown (C++, Python, Elisp, plus
new languages as generators are added). Uses `CrossLanguageProjector`
to create a projected AST, opens generated code in a new tab (read-only,
with annotations adapted). Shows annotation mapping summary in Output.
*Wires:* `CrossLanguageProjector.h`
- [ ] **Step 105: Optimization controls panel**
New "Optimize" panel or toolbar section. Buttons: "Constant Fold", "Dead Code
Elimination", "Apply All". Each shows a result summary (nodes modified, warnings).
Respects `StrategyAwareOptimizer` constraints — blocked operations grayed-out
with tooltip explaining which annotation prevents them.
*Wires:* `TransformEngine.h`, `StrategyAwareOptimizer.h`
- [ ] **Step 106: Transform history panel**
New panel showing `IncrementalOptimizer.getTransformHistory()`. Each entry
shows transform name, affected nodes, time. "Undo" button per entry.
"Undo All" button. Provenance: hover a node in AST view → see which
transform created/modified it. Color-coded by transform type.
*Wires:* `IncrementalOptimizer.h`
- [ ] **Step 107: Before/after diff view**
When a transform is applied, show a diff view: original code on left,
transformed on right. Changed lines highlighted in green/red.
Accept/reject per-transform. "Preview" mode shows diff without applying.
*Modifies:* `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 108: Batch mutation UI**
"Refactor" menu with batch operations: "Rename Variable", "Extract Function",
"Inline Variable". Each uses `BatchMutationAPI.applySequence()` with atomic
rollback on failure. Preview changes in diff view before applying.
*Wires:* `BatchMutationAPI.h`
---
## Phase 4f: Navigation & Commands (Steps 109114)
IDE-quality navigation, powered by LSP for standard features and ContextAPI for
Whetstone-specific AST navigation.
- [ ] **Step 109: Command palette**
Ctrl+Shift+P opens a fuzzy-searchable command list. All menu actions registered
as commands. Type to filter. Shows keybinding next to each command.
Most-recently-used commands float to top. Extensible for plugins.
*New:* `CommandPalette.h`
- [ ] **Step 110: Go-to-definition (LSP + Whetstone)**
Ctrl+click on a symbol → jump to its definition. Primary: send
`textDocument/definition` to LSP server. Fallback: use `ContextAPI.getInScopeSymbols()`
for Whetstone AST-level resolution. Hover shows definition preview popup.
Works across files when LSP supports it.
*Wires:* `ContextAPI.h`, `LSPClient.h`
- [ ] **Step 111: Symbol outline panel**
New "Outline" panel. Primary: use LSP `textDocument/documentSymbol` for the
symbol tree. Fallback: walk Whetstone AST for functions/variables/parameters.
Click to navigate. Icons by symbol kind. Search/filter box.
*Wires:* `ContextAPI.h`, `LSPClient.h`
- [ ] **Step 112: Breadcrumb navigation**
Bar above the editor showing the current scope path:
`Module > Function:add > body > Return`. Click any segment to jump.
Updates as cursor moves. Uses Whetstone AST parent chain (our unique feature —
LSPs don't provide this annotation-aware scope path).
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`
- [ ] **Step 113: Project-wide search**
Ctrl+Shift+F opens search panel. Searches all files in the workspace.
Results grouped by file with line previews. Click to open file at location.
Regex support. Include/exclude glob filters.
*New:* `ProjectSearch.h`
- [ ] **Step 114: Go-to-line**
Ctrl+G opens a quick input: type line number → jump. Supports `:line:col`
format. Shows total line count.
*Modifies:* `main.cpp`
---
## Phase 4g: Infrastructure & Persistence (Steps 115121)
Wire the orchestrator, serialization, session management, and prepare
AST extensions for Sprint 5.
- [ ] **Step 115: Wire Orchestrator**
Connect `Orchestrator.h` to the GUI. All AST mutations go through the
orchestrator's undo/redo journal (replacing TextEditor's simple stack).
Orchestrator manages the canonical AST state. GUI reads from it.
Emacs daemon config path exposed as a setting (prepares for Sprint 5
Emacs library integration — defaults to system Emacs, user can point to
their own `~/.emacs.d/`).
*Wires:* `Orchestrator.h`
- [ ] **Step 116: Project save/load (AST serialization)**
Save/load `.whetstone` project files using `ast/Serialization.h`.
JSON format preserving the full AST with annotations. File > Save Project /
Open Project. Includes workspace root path and open buffer list.
*Wires:* `ast/Serialization.h`
- [ ] **Step 117: Session persistence**
Remember window layout (docking configuration), open files, active tab,
cursor positions, fold state, and layout preset across sessions.
Saved to `~/.whetstone/session.json`. Restore on next launch.
*New:* `SessionManager.h`
- [ ] **Step 118: Settings panel**
View > Settings opens a dockable panel. Options: font size (1224),
tab size (2/4/8), theme variant (Dark/Light), auto-save interval,
show minimap, show line numbers, LSP server paths, layout preset,
keybinding profile. Persisted to `~/.whetstone/settings.json`.
*New:* `SettingsManager.h`
- [ ] **Step 119: Zoom**
Ctrl+= zoom in, Ctrl+- zoom out, Ctrl+0 reset. Scales the editor font
size dynamically. Status bar shows current zoom level.
*Modifies:* `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 120: Undo/Redo rework**
Unify undo stacks: orchestrator journal is the single source of truth.
TextEditor undo feeds into orchestrator. Undo/redo affects both text and
AST atomically. Status bar shows undo depth.
*Modifies:* `Orchestrator.h`, `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 121: AST Import/ExternalModule concepts**
Extend `ASTNode.h` with new concept types: `Import` (represents `import numpy`,
`#include <vector>`, `(require 'cl-lib)`), `ExternalModule` (represents an
external library with its public API surface), `TypeSignature` (function
parameter and return types from external APIs). Serialization support.
These are data-only stubs in Sprint 4 — Sprint 5 populates them with real
library metadata.
*Modifies:* `ast/ASTNode.h`, `ast/Serialization.h`
---
## Phase 4h: Agent & Terminal (Steps 122126)
External tool integration and agent connectivity.
- [ ] **Step 122: Integrated terminal**
New "Terminal" tab in the bottom panel. Subprocess output capture (not a
full terminal emulator — captures stdout/stderr from spawned processes).
Run shell commands, see output. Ctrl+` to toggle. Working directory =
workspace root. Scrollable output with ANSI color support.
*New:* `TerminalPanel.h`
- [ ] **Step 123: Run code button**
Toolbar button (play icon) to run the current file. Auto-detects runner:
Python: `python file.py`, C++: compile and run, Rust: `cargo run`,
Go: `go run`, JS: `node file.js`. Output goes to Terminal panel.
Status bar shows "Running..." / exit code. Ctrl+Shift+B for build.
*Modifies:* `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 124: Wire WebSocket agent server**
Start `WebSocketAgentServer` when the editor launches (configurable port).
External AI agents can connect, query the AST, and apply mutations via
JSON-RPC. Agent activity logged in "Agents" tab in the bottom panel.
Agents receive LSP diagnostics and Whetstone annotations as context.
*Wires:* `WebSocketServer.h`
- [ ] **Step 125: Connected agents panel**
"Agents" tab shows currently connected agents: name, session ID, last activity.
Manual disconnect button. Live activity log showing JSON-RPC method calls
and results. Agents can be granted/revoked mutation permissions.
*Modifies:* `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 126: Build system integration**
Detect project type (CMakeLists.txt, setup.py, Cargo.toml, package.json,
Makefile, go.mod) and offer build commands. Build output in Terminal panel.
Error parsing: click compiler errors to jump to source location.
*New:* `BuildSystem.h`
---

---
## Phase 5a: Library & Dependency Management (Steps 127133)
The foundation: import libraries, parse their APIs, index their symbols.
- [ ] **Step 127: Package registry abstraction**
Create `PackageRegistry.h` with a unified interface for querying package
metadata across ecosystems. Adapters for:
- Python: PyPI (REST API for package info, version listing)
- JavaScript/TypeScript: npm registry
- Rust: crates.io
- Go: pkg.go.dev / Go module proxy
- Java: Maven Central
- C/C++: vcpkg manifest / Conan
Each adapter returns: package name, available versions, description,
dependencies, homepage URL.
*New:* `PackageRegistry.h`
- [ ] **Step 128: Dependency file parsing**
Parse existing dependency files to discover what's already imported:
- Python: `requirements.txt`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`
- JS/TS: `package.json`
- Rust: `Cargo.toml`
- Go: `go.mod`
- Java: `pom.xml`, `build.gradle`
- C/C++: `vcpkg.json`, `CMakeLists.txt` (find_package)
Populate `Import` AST nodes from parsed dependencies.
*New:* `DependencyParser.h`, modifies `ast/ASTNode.h` (Import concept)
- [ ] **Step 129: Dependency management UI**
New dockable panel: "Dependencies". Lists all imported packages with version.
"Add Package" button → search dialog (queries PackageRegistry). Version
selector dropdown. "Remove" button. "Update" shows available newer versions.
Changes write back to the appropriate dependency file.
*New:* `DependencyPanel` in `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 130: Library API indexing via LSP**
When a package is imported, leverage the LSP server to extract its public API
surface. Send `workspace/symbol` queries and `textDocument/completion` with
library prefix to discover available functions, classes, constants.
Cache results in `ExternalModule` AST nodes (name, public symbols, type signatures).
*Modifies:* `LSPClient.h`, `ExternalModule` AST concept
- [ ] **Step 131: Library API indexing via type stubs**
Fallback for when LSP isn't available or insufficient. Parse type stub files:
- Python: `.pyi` stub files (typeshed, bundled stubs)
- TypeScript: `.d.ts` declaration files
- C/C++: header files (tree-sitter parse for function signatures)
- Rust: parse `lib.rs` public items
Extract function signatures, class/struct definitions, constants into
`TypeSignature` AST nodes attached to `ExternalModule`.
*New:* `StubParser.h`, modifies `ExternalModule` AST concept
- [ ] **Step 132: Library symbol browser**
New panel or Explorer sub-section: "Libraries". Tree view of imported
libraries → modules → classes/functions → parameters. Click to see
documentation (from LSP hover or stub docstrings). Search/filter box.
Drag a symbol into the editor → inserts a usage template.
*New:* `LibraryBrowser` panel
- [ ] **Step 133: Import statement generation**
When user references a symbol from an `ExternalModule`, auto-generate
the correct import statement for the target language:
- Python: `from numpy import array`
- JS: `import { useState } from 'react'`
- C++: `#include <vector>`
- Rust: `use std::collections::HashMap;`
- Go: `import "fmt"`
- Elisp: `(require 'cl-lib)`
Imports auto-sorted per language convention. Unused imports flagged.
*Modifies:* generators in `Generator.h`, `CodeEditorWidget.h`
---
## Phase 5b: Constructive Coding Flow (Steps 134140)
The core innovation: agents and completions **prioritize** the primitives
available in the user's imported libraries. Code is built UP from library
building blocks rather than hallucinated from training data. Imported libraries
are a convenience, not a 100% constraint — users can always write any code
they want, but the system surfaces library functions first and nudges toward
what's already available.
- [ ] **Step 134: Available primitives registry**
Create `PrimitivesRegistry.h` that aggregates all available symbols:
- Built-in language primitives (Python builtins, C++ std library, etc.)
- Imported library symbols (from `ExternalModule` AST nodes)
- User-defined symbols (from the current module's AST)
Registry provides: `getAvailableFunctions()`, `getAvailableTypes()`,
`getAvailableConstants()`, filtered by scope and import state.
*New:* `PrimitivesRegistry.h`
- [ ] **Step 135: Library-aware completion**
Modify the completion system (LSP + Whetstone) to **prioritize** symbols
from `PrimitivesRegistry` without excluding others. When an agent or user
types, completion candidates are ranked: imported library functions first,
then builtins, then other known symbols. Unimported symbols shown dimmed
with "auto-import" action. Users can always type and use anything —
library awareness is a convenience, not a gate. Completions include
parameter types from `TypeSignature`.
*Modifies:* `CodeEditorWidget.h`, `LSPClient.h`
- [ ] **Step 136: Agent library-aware mode**
New agent capability flag: `preferImports`. When set, the agent
(via WebSocket API) **prefers** inserting code that references symbols in
`PrimitivesRegistry`, and warns (not rejects) when using symbols outside
imported libraries. The `ASTMutationAPI` checks mutations: if a mutation
references a function not in any `ExternalModule` or the current module,
return a warning listing available alternatives — but still allow the
mutation. An optional `strictMode` flag is available for users who DO want
hard enforcement, but it defaults to off.
*Modifies:* `ASTMutationAPI.h`, `WebSocketServer.h`
- [ ] **Step 137: Function composition builder**
New UI mode: "Compose". Shows a visual flow of available library functions.
User picks a function → sees its inputs/outputs → picks the next function
whose input matches the previous output. Builds a pipeline/chain visually.
Generates code from the composition. Think: visual dataflow programming
backed by real library APIs.
*New:* `CompositionBuilder.h`, `CompositionPanel` in `main.cpp`
- [ ] **Step 138: Type-aware code generation**
Enhance generators to use `TypeSignature` information from imported libraries.
When generating C++ from Python code that uses numpy, the generator knows
`numpy.array` maps to `std::vector<double>` (or Eigen::MatrixXd).
Cross-language projection respects library type mappings.
*Modifies:* `CrossLanguageProjector.h`, `Generator.h`
- [ ] **Step 139: Library compatibility matrix**
Track which libraries have equivalents across languages. Example:
`numpy` (Python) ↔ `Eigen` (C++) ↔ `ndarray` (Rust).
When projecting code cross-language, suggest equivalent libraries.
User confirms library mapping before projection. Stored as a
configurable JSON mapping file.
*New:* `LibraryCompatibility.h`
- [ ] **Step 140: Constructive coding tests**
End-to-end tests verifying:
1. Import numpy → agent prioritizes numpy/builtin functions in suggestions
2. Remove import → agent's prioritized primitives shrink (but arbitrary code still allowed)
3. Agent with `preferImports` warns on out-of-library usage but doesn't block
4. Agent with optional `strictMode` does block out-of-library usage
5. Cross-language projection with library mapping works
6. Function composition builder generates correct code
7. Type-aware generation produces compilable output
*New:* `step140_test.cpp` and supporting test infrastructure
---
## Phase 5c: Emacs Ecosystem Integration (Steps 141146)
For Emacs users: respect their init.el, load their packages, expose Emacs
functionality through the Whetstone UI.
- [ ] **Step 141: Emacs daemon with user config**
Modify the Orchestrator's Emacs daemon to start with the user's init file.
Setting: "Emacs Config Path" (defaults to `~/.emacs.d/init.el`).
Daemon loads user's packages (MELPA, ELPA, straight.el, use-package).
Startup log shown in Output panel. Errors in init.el reported as diagnostics.
*Modifies:* `EmacsIntegration.h`, `Orchestrator.h`
- [ ] **Step 142: Elisp package browser**
New panel section for Emacs users: "Emacs Packages". Lists loaded packages
from the running daemon (query via `package-alist`). Shows: package name,
version, description. "Load Package" button sends `(require 'package-name)`
to the daemon. Status: loaded/available/not-installed.
*New:* `EmacsPackageBrowser` panel
- [ ] **Step 143: Elisp function discovery**
Query the running Emacs daemon for available functions from loaded packages.
Send `(apropos-internal "prefix")` → get function list.
Send `(describe-function 'name)` → get docstring and signature.
Populate `ExternalModule` AST nodes for Elisp libraries.
Feed into `PrimitivesRegistry` for constrained coding.
*Modifies:* `ElispCommandBuilder`, `PrimitivesRegistry.h`
- [ ] **Step 144: Emacs keybinding deep integration**
Go beyond the simple keybinding profile. In Emacs layout mode, support:
- M-x command execution (sends to Emacs daemon)
- Emacs-style prefix keys (C-x C-f, C-x C-s, C-c prefix maps)
- Minibuffer emulation at the bottom of the editor
- Mode line showing major/minor modes
Keybindings loaded from user's Emacs config (key-binding query to daemon).
*Modifies:* `KeybindingManager.h`, `LayoutManager.h`
- [ ] **Step 145: Org-mode and Literate programming support**
Parse `.org` files using a tree-sitter-org grammar. Render org-mode
documents with headings, source blocks, and prose. Source blocks
are editable with full syntax highlighting and LSP support.
Execute source blocks via the Emacs daemon or language runners.
Results rendered inline (like Jupyter notebooks).
*New:* tree-sitter-org grammar, `OrgMode.h`
- [ ] **Step 146: Emacs-Whetstone bridge**
Bidirectional sync: Emacs buffers ↔ Whetstone buffers. When the user
has the Emacs layout active, they can switch to pure Emacs (daemon
connected to a graphical frame) for operations Whetstone doesn't
support yet, then switch back. Buffer state synchronized via
the Orchestrator's RPC channel.
*Modifies:* `Orchestrator.h`, `EmacsIntegration.h`
---
## Phase 5d: Full Language Coverage (Steps 147153)
Complete generators and CST-to-AST conversion for all supported languages.
Sprint 4 added tree-sitter grammars for syntax highlighting; Sprint 5
adds full semantic support.
- [ ] **Step 147: JavaScript/TypeScript CST-to-AST**
Full tree-sitter CST-to-AST conversion for JavaScript and TypeScript.
Handle: functions (arrow, declaration, expression), classes, async/await,
destructuring, template literals, modules (import/export), JSX.
TypeScript: type annotations mapped to Whetstone Type AST nodes.
*Modifies:* `Parser.h`
- [ ] **Step 148: JavaScript/TypeScript generator**
Generate JavaScript and TypeScript source from Whetstone AST.
Handle: function declarations, arrow functions, classes, async/await,
destructuring, template literals, import/export statements.
TypeScript generator includes type annotations. Memory annotations
map to WeakRef/FinalizationRegistry for @Reclaim, ownership comments
for documentation.
*Modifies:* `Generator.h`
- [ ] **Step 149: Java CST-to-AST and generator**
Full tree-sitter Java parsing: classes, interfaces, methods, generics,
annotations (Java @annotations map to Whetstone annotations), try/catch,
lambdas. Generator produces compilable Java with proper class wrapping,
imports, access modifiers. Memory annotations map to: @Reclaim(Tracing)
→ GC-managed (default), @Owner(Single) → AutoCloseable/try-with-resources.
*Modifies:* `Parser.h`, `Generator.h`
- [ ] **Step 150: Rust CST-to-AST and generator**
Full tree-sitter Rust parsing: functions, structs, enums, traits, impls,
lifetimes, pattern matching, Result/Option. Generator produces Rust with
proper ownership semantics. Memory annotations map naturally: @Owner(Single)
→ owned types, @Owner(Shared_ARC) → Arc<T>, @Lifetime(RAII) → Drop trait,
@Reclaim(Tracing) → Rc<T> with caution note.
*Modifies:* `Parser.h`, `Generator.h`
- [ ] **Step 151: Go CST-to-AST and generator**
Full tree-sitter Go parsing: functions, structs, interfaces, goroutines,
channels, defer, multiple return values. Generator produces Go with
proper package/import structure. Memory annotations map to: @Reclaim(Escape)
→ heap allocation via escape analysis, @Deallocate(Explicit) → manual
Close()/Release() patterns, @Owner(Single) → ownership convention comments.
*Modifies:* `Parser.h`, `Generator.h`
- [ ] **Step 152: Cross-language projection for new languages**
Extend `CrossLanguageProjector` to handle projection between all pairs of
supported languages (Python, C++, Elisp, JS/TS, Java, Rust, Go).
Annotation adaptation rules for each target. Library compatibility
mappings (Phase 5b) used to suggest equivalent libraries.
*Modifies:* `CrossLanguageProjector.h`
- [ ] **Step 153: Language coverage tests**
End-to-end tests for each new language: parse → annotate → validate →
optimize → generate. Cross-language projection tests between all supported
pairs. Verify memory annotation semantics are preserved across projections.
*New:* `step153_test.cpp` (multi-language integration test)
---
## Phase 5e: Advanced Agent Capabilities (Steps 154159)
Make agents truly useful: they understand libraries, prioritize available
primitives, and assist with constructive coding.
- [ ] **Step 154: Agent library context**
When an agent connects via WebSocket, it receives the current
`PrimitivesRegistry` state: available libraries, their functions,
type signatures. The agent's `getAST` response includes `ExternalModule`
nodes. Agents can query: `getAvailablePrimitives(scope)` to see what
libraries are imported — this informs their suggestions but doesn't
limit what they can produce.
*Modifies:* `WebSocketServer.h`, `ASTQueryAPI`
- [ ] **Step 155: Agent library-aware code generation**
New agent RPC method: `generateCode(spec, preferences)`. Agent provides
a natural language spec ("sort this list, then filter by threshold"),
Whetstone generates code preferring available library primitives.
Uses `PrimitivesRegistry` to select appropriate functions when possible,
falls back to standard library or raw code when no library match exists.
Returns AST nodes that the agent can review before insertion.
*New:* `AgentCodeGen.h`
- [ ] **Step 156: Agent annotation assistant**
Agent can request annotation suggestions for a code region. Whetstone
runs `MemoryStrategyInference` and `AnnotationValidator`, returns
suggestions with confidence scores. Agent can apply suggestions via
`ASTMutationAPI`. The agent learns from user's accept/reject decisions
to improve future suggestions.
*Modifies:* `WebSocketServer.h`, `MemoryStrategyInference.h`
- [ ] **Step 157: Multi-agent collaboration**
Support multiple agents connected simultaneously with different roles:
- "Linter" agent: reads AST, reports issues, doesn't mutate
- "Refactor" agent: can mutate with user approval
- "Generator" agent: can insert new code
Permission model: each agent role has allowed RPC methods.
Agent actions appear in the transform history with agent name as provenance.
*Modifies:* `WebSocketServer.h`, `IncrementalOptimizer.h`
- [ ] **Step 158: Agent workflow recording**
Record agent actions as reproducible workflows. A sequence of agent
RPC calls → saved as a "workflow script" (JSON). User can replay
workflows on different codebases. Workflows are shareable.
*New:* `WorkflowRecorder.h`
- [ ] **Step 159: Agent marketplace / plugin registry**
Directory of available Whetstone agents (local + remote). Each agent
has: name, description, capabilities, required permissions.
"Install Agent" connects to the agent's WebSocket endpoint.
Community agents discoverable via a registry URL (configurable).
*New:* `AgentRegistry.h`, `AgentMarketplace` panel
---
## Phase 5f: Polish & Ecosystem (Steps 160165)
Final polish, documentation, and ecosystem features.
- [ ] **Step 160: Theme engine**
Full theme system beyond Dark/Light. Load themes from JSON files.
Theme affects: editor colors, syntax highlighting colors, gutter colors,
annotation marker colors, panel backgrounds. Ship with: VSCode Dark,
Monokai, Solarized Dark, Solarized Light, Dracula, Nord.
Theme gallery in Settings panel.
*New:* `ThemeEngine.h`
- [ ] **Step 161: Extension/plugin API**
Define a stable plugin interface. Plugins can:
- Register new AST concept types
- Add generators for new languages
- Add tree-sitter grammars
- Register custom annotations
- Add panels to the UI
- Register commands and keybindings
Plugins loaded from `~/.whetstone/plugins/`. Each plugin = a shared
library (.dll/.so) with a defined entry point.
*New:* `PluginAPI.h`, `PluginLoader.h`
- [ ] **Step 162: User documentation**
In-editor help system. Help > Documentation opens a panel with:
- Getting Started guide
- Annotation reference (all annotation types with examples)
- Keyboard shortcuts (generated from KeybindingManager)
- Language support matrix
- Agent API reference
Content in Markdown, rendered in ImGui.
*New:* `HelpPanel.h`, markdown renderer
- [ ] **Step 163: Telemetry and crash reporting (opt-in)**
Optional, anonymous usage telemetry to understand feature adoption.
Crash handler that captures stack traces on unhandled exceptions.
User must explicitly opt-in during first launch. Clear privacy policy.
Data sent to configurable endpoint (or saved locally).
*New:* `Telemetry.h`
- [ ] **Step 164: Installer and distribution updates**
Update the installer (Inno Setup for Windows, .deb/.rpm for Linux) to
include all new dependencies. Auto-update check on launch (checks a
release URL). Portable mode (no install, run from folder).
*Modifies:* `installer/`
- [ ] **Step 165: Sprint 5 integration tests**
Comprehensive integration tests covering the full Sprint 5 feature set:
1. Import library → API indexed → library-aware completion prioritizes imports
2. Emacs daemon with user config → packages loaded → Elisp functions available
3. Agent connects → library primitives prioritized → generates valid code (can use non-imported symbols too)
4. Cross-language projection Python→Rust with library mapping
5. Function composition builder → generated code compiles
6. Full pipeline across all 8+ languages
*New:* `step165_test.cpp`

## Context for Future Agents
### What exists after Sprint 4 (prerequisites):
- 33+ backend components all wired into the GUI
- LSP client communicating with external language servers
- Layout presets (VSCode/Emacs/JetBrains) with proper docking
- Custom code editor widget with syntax highlighting, line numbers, gutter
- Annotation UI (gutter markers, inline decorations, context menu, suggestions)
- Cross-language projection and optimization controls
- AST with Import/ExternalModule/TypeSignature stub concepts
- 8+ tree-sitter grammars (Python, C++, Elisp, JS/TS, Java, Rust, Go)
- Orchestrator wired with Emacs daemon config as a setting
- WebSocket agent server running with JSON-RPC
### Key source files to understand:
| File | What it does |
|------|-------------|
| `editor/src/ast/ASTNode.h` | Base AST node + Import/ExternalModule (added Sprint 4 Step 121) |
| `editor/src/ast/Parser.h` | TreeSitterParser — CST-to-AST for Python/C++/Elisp (extend for new languages) |
| `editor/src/ast/Generator.h` | PythonGenerator, CppGenerator, ElispGenerator (extend for new languages) |
| `editor/src/LSPClient.h` | LSP protocol client (added Sprint 4 Phase 4c) |
| `editor/src/Pipeline.h` | End-to-end parse→infer→validate→optimize→generate |
| `editor/src/CrossLanguageProjector.h` | AST deep-copy with language change and annotation adaptation |
| `editor/src/MemoryStrategyInference.h` | Infers annotations from language + patterns |
| `editor/src/WebSocketServer.h` | Agent WebSocket endpoint with JSON-RPC |
| `editor/src/ASTMutationAPI.h` | AST mutations with OptimizationLock checking |
| `editor/src/EmacsIntegration.h` | ElispCommandBuilder + EmacsConnection daemon lifecycle |
| `editor/src/Orchestrator.h` | Central state manager, undo journal, Emacs integration |
| `editor/src/CodeEditorWidget.h` | Custom ImGui code editor (added Sprint 4 Phase 4a) |
| `editor/src/LayoutManager.h` | Docking layout presets (added Sprint 4 Step 76) |
### Architecture principles:
1. **Two-layer intelligence**: LSP for standard language features, Whetstone for annotations/memory/optimization
2. **Constructive coding**: imported libraries are a convenience, not a constraint — they inform suggestions and prioritization, but users/agents can always write arbitrary code
3. **Cross-language**: single AST, multiple generators, annotation-aware projection
4. **Agent-friendly**: all features accessible via WebSocket JSON-RPC, not just GUI
5. **User choice**: layout/keybinding/theme presets let users work in their preferred style
### Build system:
- C++20, CMake, vcpkg (Windows), FetchContent for tree-sitter grammars
- Dear ImGui + SDL2 + OpenGL3 for GUI
- nlohmann-json for JSON
- tree-sitter for parsing (grammars: python, cpp, elisp, + 5 more in Sprint 4)
- Build: `cmake --preset windows-msvc && cmake --build build --config Release`
- Tests: `build/Release/stepNN_test.exe` (each step has its own test executable)
### Git structure:
- Branch: `001-core-ast-structure` (all work so far)
- Main branch: `main` (merge target)
- Sprint plans: `sprint4_plan.md`, `sprint5_plan.md`
- Progress tracker: `progress.md` (authoritative, updated after each session)
