commits
- C1 (code fix): Make FREE_LANE call _smart_free() which correctly returns
frame to free_frames when it's the last lane, preventing frame leaks.
Updated comment to reflect smart free semantics.
- C1 (test fix): Add test_free_lane_on_last_lane_returns_frame to verify
FREE_LANE returns frame on last lane and keeps frame when other lanes exist.
- I1 (assertion fix): Change weak guard 'if pe_cfg.initial_tag_store:' to
strong assertion in test_codegen_frames.py line 330.
- I2 (vacuous assertion fix): Remove assert True and comment from
test_pe_frames.py line 692.
- M3 (fragility fix): Make REPL test case-insensitive for 'lane' string
matching in test_repl.py line 475.
All 1300 tests pass.
docs: add test plan for frame matching lanes
- Important Issue 1: Add guard in ALLOC_SHARED to prevent self-referential act_id (lane leak)
- Added check before parent lookup to reject tokens with act_id already in tag_store
- Added test_alloc_shared_self_referential_guard() to verify TokenRejected is emitted
- Important Issue 2: Add codegen initial_tag_store tuple assertion
- Added assertions in test_alloc_tokens_per_activation() to verify all tuple values
- Prevents regression to int values in future codegen changes
- Important Issue 3: Add REPL tag_store formatting assertion
- Added assertion in test_pe_after_load() to verify 'lane' in output or empty marker
- Ensures formatting includes lane information
- Minor Issue 1: Extract _smart_free helper to deduplicate FREE logic
- New method _smart_free() handles shared FREE logic for all three paths
- Reduces code duplication in _handle_frame_control() FREE/FREE_LANE and _process_token() FREE_FRAME
- Helper correctly handles frame-in-use case and emits appropriate FrameFreed events
- Minor Issue 2: Guard ALLOC_REMOTE against None slot values
- Added check for None before reading target_pe and target_act
- Logs warning and returns early if slots contain None
- Minor Issue 3: Add warnings for FREE_LANE/FREE/FREE_FRAME with invalid act_id
- Added else clauses with logger.warning for unknown act_ids in all FREE paths
- Consistent with other error handling in PE
Add two tests in TestTagStoreSerialisation class that verify the new
tag_store JSON serialisation format for non-empty tag stores:
- test_non_empty_tag_store_serialization: Single entry {0: (2, 1)}
- test_multiple_entries_tag_store_serialization: Multiple entries with
different act_id values and lane assignments
These tests verify that:
- tag_store entries are serialized as {"act_id_str": {"frame_id": N, "lane": M}}
- lane_count is present in the PE state JSON
- All entries are correctly converted to string keys and nested objects
Fixes: No test asserts the new tag_store JSON serialisation format for
non-empty tag stores (Phase 5 code review issue)
Task 1 Phase 4a Subcomponent A:
Updated ALLOC_REMOTE handler in emu/pe.py to read fref+2 from frame constants
and conditionally emit ALLOC_SHARED vs ALLOC based on whether parent_act_id
is non-zero.
Implementation details:
- Read fref+0 (target PE), fref+1 (target act_id), and new fref+2 (parent act_id)
- If parent_act (fref+2) is non-zero: emit FrameControlToken with op=ALLOC_SHARED and payload=parent_act
- If parent_act is zero/None: emit op=ALLOC and payload=0 (backwards compatible)
- Frame slots at fref+0, fref+1, fref+2 are assumed to be int values per codegen contract
- No runtime type checking added (consistent with existing ALLOC_REMOTE pattern)
Accepts AC4.1 (data-driven shared allocation) and AC4.2 (no new opcodes).
All 1290 tests pass. Backwards compatibility verified: existing tests with
only fref+0/fref+1 populated default fref+2 to None/0 (falsy), so they
emit op=ALLOC as before.
- CLAUDE.md line 166: Update FrameOp enum documentation to include ALLOC_SHARED and FREE_LANE
- CLAUDE.md lines 292-293: Update FrameAllocated and FrameFreed event signatures to include lane and frame_freed fields
- emu/pe.py class docstring: Update Manages section to reflect current 3D match storage, lane_free tracking, and lane_count
Verifies frame-lanes.AC3.3, AC3.4, AC8.3:
- AC3.3: Smart FREE on shared frame frees only the lane if frame in use
- AC3.3: Smart FREE on last lane frees the frame and cleans up
- AC3.4: ALLOC unchanged — allocates fresh frame, assigns lane 0
- AC8.3: FREE on shared frame preserves other lanes' data
Added to tests/test_pe_lanes.py as TestSmartFree class with 4 test methods:
- test_free_on_shared_frame_preserves_other_lanes
- test_free_last_lane_returns_frame
- test_alloc_unchanged_allocates_fresh_frame
- test_data_preservation_across_free_lanes
Verifies frame-lanes.AC3.1, AC3.2, AC3.6, AC8.1, AC8.2:
- AC3.1: ALLOC_SHARED assigns next free lane from parent frame
- AC3.2: FREE_LANE clears lane data, keeps frame
- AC3.6: Lane exhaustion emits TokenRejected with 'no free lanes'
- AC8.1: Two act_ids sharing a frame have independent matching
- AC8.2: ALLOC_SHARED with exhausted lanes fails with TokenRejected
New test file: tests/test_pe_lanes.py with 13 test methods covering:
- ALLOC_SHARED basic and multiple lanes
- Invalid parent handling
- Lane exhaustion per-frame and across frames
- FREE_LANE returning lane to pool
- Independent matching at same offset
- Independent matching at different offsets
- frames field now includes 'shared across all lanes' annotation
- match_data field: new 3D array [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for operand values
- presence field: updated to 3D [frame_id][match_slot][lane]
- port_store field: updated to 3D [frame_id][match_slot][lane]

- PESnapshot description: now includes match_data, lane_count fields with 3D shapes
- monitor/CLAUDE.md line 55: PESnapshot description updated for match_data, lane_count, 3D storage shapes
Addresses code review feedback: CLAUDE.md is no longer stale for Phase 2 changes.
Update all PESnapshot constructions in test_monitor_graph_json.py to include:
- match_data field (empty tuple for minimal test setup)
- lane_count field (set to 4, matching default PEConfig)
All 1277 tests pass.
Update snapshot capture to handle new 3D storage arrays:
- PESnapshot.presence now 3D: tuple[tuple[tuple[bool, ...], ...], ...]
- PESnapshot.port_store now 3D: tuple[tuple[tuple[Port | None, ...], ...], ...]
- Add PESnapshot.match_data 3D field: tuple[tuple[tuple[int | None, ...], ...], ...]

Implements frame matching lanes architecture:
- Add match_data 3D array: [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for operand values
- Convert presence from 2D to 3D: [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for presence bits
- Convert port_store from 2D to 3D: [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for port metadata
- Add lane_count field to ProcessingElement for lane iteration
- Update _match_frame() to accept lane parameter and use 3D indexing
- Update ALLOC handler to reset all lane slots when allocating frames
- Update test assertions to use [lane] indexing (lane 0 by default)
- Fix test_dyadic_token_pair_matching to use SINK mode (test was relying on buggy behavior)
Frame constants/destinations remain shared across lanes (frames[frame_id][slot]).
Match data and presence bits are now per-lane, enabling multiple pending operands
per instruction within a single activation.

- MINOR 1: Fix stale comment in test_e2e.py:80
- Change "IRAMWriteToken" to "PELocalWriteToken"
- MINOR 2: Fix misleading comment in allocate.py:435
- Old: "still need a slot for potential matching"
- New: "still need fref slot for result writeback in SINK mode"
- Explains actual purpose: SINK nodes use fref to write results to frame
Two root causes for the last 3 test failures:
1. Input trampoline edges incorrectly used ctx_override=True, which caused
CHANGE_TAG mode. CHANGE_TAG unpacks the left operand as a packed FrameDest,
but input trampolines receive raw data values — not FrameDests. Changed
input edges to use normal routing (INHERIT mode reads dest from frame slot,
which already encodes the function's act_id).
2. Function body nodes (e.g. $adder.&a, $adder.&sum) got act_id=0 (root
scope) instead of the call site's act_id. When a function has call sites,
its body nodes must share the call site's activation context so FrameDest
routing targets the correct frame.
Also fixed test_builtins.py and test_variadic.py to inject setup_tokens
before seed_tokens (matching test_e2e.py's pattern).

Continuing Task 2-3: Fix remaining broken test files
Additional fixes:
- Removed gen parameter from dyad_token hypothesis strategy calls
- Fixed ctx parameter to act_id in tests
- Fixed IRAMWriteToken imports to PELocalWriteToken
- Removed references to hypothesis strategy calls with old parameters
Note: Many tests still have old syntax from their .bak versions that
test infrastructure no longer present (old PEConfig positional args
for gen_counters, etc.). These require careful manual refactoring
or can be replaced with E2E tests that test the integrated system.
Task 2-3: Fix remaining broken test files
Restored 10 test files from .bak suffix:
- test_cycle_timing.py
- test_e2e.py
- test_exec_bootstrap.py
- test_integration.py
- test_network.py
- test_network_events.py
- test_pe.py
- test_pe_events.py
- test_seed_const.py
- test_sm_graph_nodes.py
Applied fixes to all test files:
- Fixed imports: removed ALUInst/SMInst/Addr, added Instruction/OutputStyle
- Fixed token construction: ctx→act_id, removed gen/wide parameters
- Fixed PEConfig: ctx_slots→frame_count, removed offsets/gen_counters
- Fixed imports: IRAMWriteToken→PELocalWriteToken
Note: Many tests still fail because they test old infrastructure
(ALUInst in IRAM, ProcessingElement direct instantiation, IRAMWriteToken)
that has fundamentally changed to the frame-based design. These
require deeper refactoring or can be replaced with E2E tests.
- CRITICAL 1: Rewrite snapshot tests to use frame-based state (frames, tag_store, presence, port_store, free_frames) instead of removed matching_store and gen_counters

- Update SM node synthesis to use act_id instead of ctx
Task 3: Update monitor/backend.py for setup_tokens injection
- In _handle_load(), inject setup_tokens before seed_tokens
- Setup tokens come from AssemblyResult (IRAM writes, ALLOC, frame slot writes)
- CRITICAL 1 (AC6.4): Implement _find_const_for_slot and _find_dest_for_slot
- Enable step 4 (frame slot writes) in _generate_setup_tokens
- Write constants and destinations to frame slots via PELocalWriteToken(region=1)
- Use pack_flit1() for destination routing data
- CRITICAL 2 (AC6.5): T0 bootstrap packing infrastructure
- pack_token is now imported and available for T0 bootstrap

- Confirm all assertions for setup_tokens field on AssemblyResult
- Verify Instruction type (not ALUInst/SMInst) in IRAM
- All tests pass for new token types (PELocalWriteToken, FrameControlToken)
Task 1: Rewrite _build_iram_for_pe() to produce dict[int, Instruction] from allocated IRNodes
- Replaced ALUInst/SMInst with unified Instruction type
- Mode fields (output, has_const, dest_count) taken from allocate pass
- Simplified implementation removes Addr construction and ctx_mode encoding
Task 2: Add frame setup token generation _generate_setup_tokens()
- Generates ordered token sequence: SM init → IRAM writes → ALLOC → frame slot writes
- IRAM writes use PELocalWriteToken(region=0) with pack_instruction() data
- ALLOC uses FrameControlToken for each activation
- Updated AssemblyResult to include setup_tokens field
Task 3: Update seed token generation for act_id
- Seed tokens use act_id field (not ctx), no gen field
- Updated generate_direct() and generate_tokens() to use new API
- DyadToken/MonadToken construction simplified
Tests:
- New test file: tests/test_codegen_frames.py with 14 comprehensive tests
- Updated tests/test_codegen.py for frame-based model compatibility
- All 29 tests pass (14 new + 15 updated)
Verification:
- pack_instruction() correctly encodes Instruction to 16-bit words
- Token ordering verified: SM init before IRAM writes before ALLOC before seeds
- Seed tokens use act_id, no gen field present
- ALLOC tokens generated per activation per PE
- Fix Critical 1: Compute per-node fref values in _compute_frame_layouts
Each node in an activation gets its own fref based on slot count derived
from its mode. Nodes with different modes now get different frefs.
- Fix Critical 2: Add test verifying per-node fref differentiation
Test ensures nodes in same activation with different modes get different
frefs, with correct slot calculations.
- Fix Important 1: Use matchable_offsets from SystemConfig in frame layouts
Pass matchable_offsets parameter to _compute_frame_layouts(). Use it as
the base for const/dest slot assignment instead of dyadic_count.
Emit warning when dyadic_count > matchable_offsets.
- Fix Important 2: Filter sink MemOps correctly with _SINK_MEMOPS constant
Define _SINK_MEMOPS = {WRITE, CLEAR, FREE, SET_PAGE, WRITE_IMM} at
module level. Use it in _compute_modes() and sink slot counting.
Only count actual sink MemOps, not all MemOps.
- Fix Important 3: Add full allocate pipeline integration test
New test_full_allocate_pipeline() verifies complete allocate() flow:
IRAM offsets, act_ids, modes, frame layouts, IRAM deduplication,
and FrameDest resolution.
- Fix Minor 1: Update stale docstrings
Update module docstring to mention activation IDs, frame layouts, and
FrameDest instead of context slots and Addr.
Update allocate() docstring with detailed pipeline steps.
- Add _compute_modes() to derive OutputStyle, has_const, dest_count from edge topology
- Add _compute_frame_layouts() for frame slot assignment per activation
- Add _assign_act_ids() replacing _assign_context_slots() for 3-bit activation IDs
- Remove _assign_context_slots() function
- Update allocate() main flow to call new functions in sequence
- Add comprehensive test suite in tests/test_allocate_frames.py
Verifies AC5.2 (canonical layouts), AC5.3 (sequential activation IDs),
AC5.4 (slot assignment order), AC5.5 (mode computation),
AC5.6 (overflow checking), AC5.7 (exhaustion detection)
- Add _deduplicate_iram() function for deduplicating IRAM entries by instruction template
- Rewrite _assign_iram_offsets() documentation and implementation for deduplication
- Two nodes share an IRAM offset when they have identical opcode, output style, has_const, dest_count, wide, and fref
- Verifies AC5.1: identical instruction templates on same PE share IRAM entries
- All instructions cost 1 slot per Phase 4 change
Critical fixes:
- test_qualified_ref_params.py: Renamed CtxSlotRef→ActSlotRef, CtxSlotRange→ActSlotRange, node.ctx_slot→node.act_slot throughout
- test_call_wiring.py: Updated free_ctx→free_frame in node name checks and call_site.free_ctx_nodes→call_site.free_frame_nodes
- test_allocate.py: Changed CallSite() constructor calls from free_ctx_nodes= to free_frame_nodes=
- test_parser.py: Changed shiftl mnemonic to shl
- test_lower.py: Changed shiftl mnemonic to shl and ArithOp.SHIFT_L to ArithOp.SHL
Important fixes:
- asm/place.py line 279: Changed warning message from "Activation on PE {pe_id} uses..." to "PE {pe_id} uses..." to reflect that tracking is per-PE, not per-activation
Implementation fixes:
- asm/allocate.py line 175: Changed call_site.free_ctx_nodes to call_site.free_frame_nodes
- asm/allocate.py line 233: Changed call_site.free_ctx_nodes to call_site.free_frame_nodes
- asm/allocate.py line 286: Changed replace(node, ctx=...) to replace(node, act_id=...)
- asm/allocate.py line 621: Changed system.ctx_slots to system.frame_count
All renamed tests now pass (312 tests). Remaining failures are Phase 5/6 scope (Addr type not yet defined).
Task 7: Update assembler test files for terminology renames
Changes:
- Rename node.ctx to node.act_id in assertions (test_allocate.py)
- Rename system.ctx_slots to system.frame_count in test configs
(test_place.py, test_autoplacement.py, test_allocate.py, and related files)
- Rename FREE_CTX to FREE_FRAME in test node construction
(test_allocate.py, test_codegen.py, test_call_wiring.py)
- Update @system pragma parameter from "ctx" to "frames" (test_lower.py)
Also update default IRAM capacity from 64 to 256 to match new default
- Update test_opcodes.py for shift mnemonic renames and new opcodes:
- "shiftl"/"shiftr"/"ashiftr" → "shl"/"shr"/"asr"
- Add "free_frame" (was "free_ctx")
- Add "extract_tag" and "alloc_remote" (new routing ops)
- Update MONADIC_OPS count from 20 to 22 (added EXTRACT_TAG, ALLOC_REMOTE)
- Update MNEMONIC_TO_OP count from 43 to 45
- Update test names and assertions for free_frame terminology
These changes enable the frame-based activation model where:
- Activations replace contexts for scoping
- Frames replace ctx_slots for concurrent activation tracking
- New routing opcodes (EXTRACT_TAG, ALLOC_REMOTE) are monadic
- Shift opcodes use standardized mnemonics
Task 4: Update asm/lower.py for act_slot rename
- Rename ctx_slot to act_slot in IRNode construction
- Rename CtxSlotRef/CtxSlotRange to ActSlotRef/ActSlotRange imports
- Update @system pragma parsing: ctx_slots parameter → frames (default 8)
- Update iram default from 64 to 256
Task 5: Update asm/expand.py for FREE_FRAME and ActSlotRef
- Rename FREE_CTX to FREE_FRAME in call wiring
- Rename free_ctx_name/free_ctx_nodes to free_frame_name/free_frame_nodes
- Update CallSite field reference from free_ctx_nodes to free_frame_nodes
- Rename ctx_slot to act_slot field access
- Update docstring comment
Task 6: Update asm/place.py for frame_count and IRAM cost
- Change _count_iram_cost() to return 1 for all node types
- Replace ctx_used/ctx_slots tracking with frames_used/frame_count
- Add dyadic offset tracking with matchable offset warning (AC5.8)
- Add ErrorSeverity import for warning generation
- Update system.ctx_slots references to system.frame_count
- Update error messages to show frame count instead of context slots
These changes support the new frame-based activation model where:
- Frames replace contexts for scoping
- IRAM cost is uniform (1 slot per instruction)
- Matching is handled by frame SRAM, not IRAM entries
- Remove dead except block around flit_count() in _handle_exec
flit_count() handles all 16-bit inputs without raising exceptions,
so the try/except (ValueError, KeyError) block was unreachable code
- Update stale _handle_t0_write docstring to reflect current architecture
T0 is now list[int] with pack_token()/unpack_token() serialization
(future work from original docstring was already implemented in Phase 3)
- Change t0_store padding from None to 0 to match list[int] annotation
Simplifies _handle_t0_read by removing None check
Makes padding consistent with type annotation
- Update test comment in test_malformed_flit_invalid_prefix
Accurately describes what happens: flit_count(0xFFFF) returns 2,
but only 1 flit available, so truncation check catches it
- Rename test_exec_stops_at_none_sentinel to test_exec_processes_multiple_packets_until_end
Old test relied on None sentinel that no longer exists
New test verifies EXEC processes multiple consecutive valid packets
- C1 (code fix): Make FREE_LANE call _smart_free() which correctly returns
frame to free_frames when it's the last lane, preventing frame leaks.
Updated comment to reflect smart free semantics.
- C1 (test fix): Add test_free_lane_on_last_lane_returns_frame to verify
FREE_LANE returns frame on last lane and keeps frame when other lanes exist.
- I1 (assertion fix): Change weak guard 'if pe_cfg.initial_tag_store:' to
strong assertion in test_codegen_frames.py line 330.
- I2 (vacuous assertion fix): Remove assert True and comment from
test_pe_frames.py line 692.
- M3 (fragility fix): Make REPL test case-insensitive for 'lane' string
matching in test_repl.py line 475.
All 1300 tests pass.
docs: add test plan for frame matching lanes
- Important Issue 1: Add guard in ALLOC_SHARED to prevent self-referential act_id (lane leak)
- Added check before parent lookup to reject tokens with act_id already in tag_store
- Added test_alloc_shared_self_referential_guard() to verify TokenRejected is emitted
- Important Issue 2: Add codegen initial_tag_store tuple assertion
- Added assertions in test_alloc_tokens_per_activation() to verify all tuple values
- Prevents regression to int values in future codegen changes
- Important Issue 3: Add REPL tag_store formatting assertion
- Added assertion in test_pe_after_load() to verify 'lane' in output or empty marker
- Ensures formatting includes lane information
- Minor Issue 1: Extract _smart_free helper to deduplicate FREE logic
- New method _smart_free() handles shared FREE logic for all three paths
- Reduces code duplication in _handle_frame_control() FREE/FREE_LANE and _process_token() FREE_FRAME
- Helper correctly handles frame-in-use case and emits appropriate FrameFreed events
- Minor Issue 2: Guard ALLOC_REMOTE against None slot values
- Added check for None before reading target_pe and target_act
- Logs warning and returns early if slots contain None
- Minor Issue 3: Add warnings for FREE_LANE/FREE/FREE_FRAME with invalid act_id
- Added else clauses with logger.warning for unknown act_ids in all FREE paths
- Consistent with other error handling in PE
Add two tests in TestTagStoreSerialisation class that verify the new
tag_store JSON serialisation format for non-empty tag stores:
- test_non_empty_tag_store_serialization: Single entry {0: (2, 1)}
- test_multiple_entries_tag_store_serialization: Multiple entries with
different act_id values and lane assignments
These tests verify that:
- tag_store entries are serialized as {"act_id_str": {"frame_id": N, "lane": M}}
- lane_count is present in the PE state JSON
- All entries are correctly converted to string keys and nested objects
Fixes: No test asserts the new tag_store JSON serialisation format for
non-empty tag stores (Phase 5 code review issue)
Task 1 Phase 4a Subcomponent A:
Updated ALLOC_REMOTE handler in emu/pe.py to read fref+2 from frame constants
and conditionally emit ALLOC_SHARED vs ALLOC based on whether parent_act_id
is non-zero.
Implementation details:
- Read fref+0 (target PE), fref+1 (target act_id), and new fref+2 (parent act_id)
- If parent_act (fref+2) is non-zero: emit FrameControlToken with op=ALLOC_SHARED and payload=parent_act
- If parent_act is zero/None: emit op=ALLOC and payload=0 (backwards compatible)
- Frame slots at fref+0, fref+1, fref+2 are assumed to be int values per codegen contract
- No runtime type checking added (consistent with existing ALLOC_REMOTE pattern)
Accepts AC4.1 (data-driven shared allocation) and AC4.2 (no new opcodes).
All 1290 tests pass. Backwards compatibility verified: existing tests with
only fref+0/fref+1 populated default fref+2 to None/0 (falsy), so they
emit op=ALLOC as before.
- CLAUDE.md line 166: Update FrameOp enum documentation to include ALLOC_SHARED and FREE_LANE
- CLAUDE.md lines 292-293: Update FrameAllocated and FrameFreed event signatures to include lane and frame_freed fields
- emu/pe.py class docstring: Update Manages section to reflect current 3D match storage, lane_free tracking, and lane_count
Verifies frame-lanes.AC3.3, AC3.4, AC8.3:
- AC3.3: Smart FREE on shared frame frees only the lane if frame in use
- AC3.3: Smart FREE on last lane frees the frame and cleans up
- AC3.4: ALLOC unchanged — allocates fresh frame, assigns lane 0
- AC8.3: FREE on shared frame preserves other lanes' data
Added to tests/test_pe_lanes.py as TestSmartFree class with 4 test methods:
- test_free_on_shared_frame_preserves_other_lanes
- test_free_last_lane_returns_frame
- test_alloc_unchanged_allocates_fresh_frame
- test_data_preservation_across_free_lanes
Verifies frame-lanes.AC3.1, AC3.2, AC3.6, AC8.1, AC8.2:
- AC3.1: ALLOC_SHARED assigns next free lane from parent frame
- AC3.2: FREE_LANE clears lane data, keeps frame
- AC3.6: Lane exhaustion emits TokenRejected with 'no free lanes'
- AC8.1: Two act_ids sharing a frame have independent matching
- AC8.2: ALLOC_SHARED with exhausted lanes fails with TokenRejected
New test file: tests/test_pe_lanes.py with 13 test methods covering:
- ALLOC_SHARED basic and multiple lanes
- Invalid parent handling
- Lane exhaustion per-frame and across frames
- FREE_LANE returning lane to pool
- Independent matching at same offset
- Independent matching at different offsets
- frames field now includes 'shared across all lanes' annotation
- match_data field: new 3D array [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for operand values
- presence field: updated to 3D [frame_id][match_slot][lane]
- port_store field: updated to 3D [frame_id][match_slot][lane]
- lane_count field: added documentation
- Matching Logic section: updated to reference lane dimension, match_data storage
- PESnapshot description: now includes match_data, lane_count fields with 3D shapes
- monitor/CLAUDE.md line 55: PESnapshot description updated for match_data, lane_count, 3D storage shapes
Addresses code review feedback: CLAUDE.md is no longer stale for Phase 2 changes.
Update snapshot capture to handle new 3D storage arrays:
- PESnapshot.presence now 3D: tuple[tuple[tuple[bool, ...], ...], ...]
- PESnapshot.port_store now 3D: tuple[tuple[tuple[Port | None, ...], ...], ...]
- Add PESnapshot.match_data 3D field: tuple[tuple[tuple[int | None, ...], ...], ...]
- Add PESnapshot.lane_count field to track lanes per PE
- Update capture() function to iterate through 3D arrays correctly
Verification:
- test_snapshot.py: 14 tests pass
Implements frame matching lanes architecture:
- Add match_data 3D array: [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for operand values
- Convert presence from 2D to 3D: [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for presence bits
- Convert port_store from 2D to 3D: [frame_id][match_slot][lane] for port metadata
- Add lane_count field to ProcessingElement for lane iteration
- Update _match_frame() to accept lane parameter and use 3D indexing
- Update ALLOC handler to reset all lane slots when allocating frames
- Update test assertions to use [lane] indexing (lane 0 by default)
- Fix test_dyadic_token_pair_matching to use SINK mode (test was relying on buggy behavior)
Frame constants/destinations remain shared across lanes (frames[frame_id][slot]).
Match data and presence bits are now per-lane, enabling multiple pending operands
per instruction within a single activation.
Verification:
- test_pe_frames.py: 31 tests pass

All 1277 tests pass.
- IMPORTANT 1: Add test for AC5.8 (matchable offset exceedance warning)

- /home/orual/Projects/or1-design/CLAUDE.md:
* Update Project Structure: ALUInst → Instruction, SMInst → removed, Addr → FrameDest
* Update Token Hierarchy: IRAMWriteToken → PELocalWriteToken + FrameControlToken
* Update Instruction Set: new unified Instruction type, FrameDest, OutputStyle
* Update Processing Element: describe frame storage, tag_store, presence, port_store

- MINOR 1: Fix stale comment in test_e2e.py:80
- Change "IRAMWriteToken" to "PELocalWriteToken"
- MINOR 2: Fix misleading comment in allocate.py:435
- Old: "still need a slot for potential matching"
- New: "still need fref slot for result writeback in SINK mode"
- Explains actual purpose: SINK nodes use fref to write results to frame
Two root causes for the last 3 test failures:
1. Input trampoline edges incorrectly used ctx_override=True, which caused
CHANGE_TAG mode. CHANGE_TAG unpacks the left operand as a packed FrameDest,
but input trampolines receive raw data values — not FrameDests. Changed
input edges to use normal routing (INHERIT mode reads dest from frame slot,
which already encodes the function's act_id).
2. Function body nodes (e.g. $adder.&a, $adder.&sum) got act_id=0 (root
scope) instead of the call site's act_id. When a function has call sites,
its body nodes must share the call site's activation context so FrameDest
routing targets the correct frame.
Also fixed test_builtins.py and test_variadic.py to inject setup_tokens
before seed_tokens (matching test_e2e.py's pattern).
- Update test_pe.py to use new Instruction, FrameDest, PEConfig with frame-based model
- Use TokenKind.MONADIC and TokenKind.DYADIC for token routing
- Replace old ALUInst/Addr constructs with Instruction/FrameDest
- Add initial_frames loading to PE.__init__
- Adjust SWITCH mode tests to expect MonadToken instead of special inline tokens
- All 21 tests in test_pe.py now pass
Continuing Task 2-3: Fix remaining broken test files
Additional fixes:
- Removed gen parameter from dyad_token hypothesis strategy calls
- Fixed ctx parameter to act_id in tests
- Fixed IRAMWriteToken imports to PELocalWriteToken
- Removed references to hypothesis strategy calls with old parameters
Note: Many tests still have old syntax from their .bak versions that
test infrastructure no longer present (old PEConfig positional args
for gen_counters, etc.). These require careful manual refactoring
or can be replaced with E2E tests that test the integrated system.
Task 2-3: Fix remaining broken test files
Restored 10 test files from .bak suffix:
- test_cycle_timing.py
- test_e2e.py
- test_exec_bootstrap.py
- test_integration.py
- test_network.py
- test_network_events.py
- test_pe.py
- test_pe_events.py
- test_seed_const.py
- test_sm_graph_nodes.py
Applied fixes to all test files:
- Fixed imports: removed ALUInst/SMInst/Addr, added Instruction/OutputStyle
- Fixed token construction: ctx→act_id, removed gen/wide parameters
- Fixed PEConfig: ctx_slots→frame_count, removed offsets/gen_counters
- Fixed imports: IRAMWriteToken→PELocalWriteToken
Note: Many tests still fail because they test old infrastructure
(ALUInst in IRAM, ProcessingElement direct instantiation, IRAMWriteToken)
that has fundamentally changed to the frame-based design. These
require deeper refactoring or can be replaced with E2E tests.
- CRITICAL 1: Rewrite snapshot tests to use frame-based state (frames, tag_store, presence, port_store, free_frames) instead of removed matching_store and gen_counters
- test_capture_pe_matching_store_structure → test_capture_pe_frame_structure
- test_capture_pe_gen_counters → test_capture_pe_tag_store
- test_capture_multiple_pes_and_sms: updated to test frame state instead
- CRITICAL 2: Fix monitor/server.py DyadToken construction (inject and send commands)

- T0 store is now list[int], not list[Token]
- Changed from appending MonadToken objects to appending int values (777, 888)
- IMPORTANT 2: Fix formatting.py T0 store display
- Change 'tokens' to 'entries' in T0 store formatting line
Task 1: Update monitor/snapshot.py for frame-based PE state

- Update _serialise_node to use act_id instead of ctx
- Add _serialise_slot helper function for frame slot serialization
- Update _serialise_pe_state to show frames instead of matching_store
- Update Matched event serialization to include frame_id
- Add serialization handlers for new frame event types
- Update SM node synthesis to use act_id instead of ctx
Task 3: Update monitor/backend.py for setup_tokens injection
- In _handle_load(), inject setup_tokens before seed_tokens
- Setup tokens come from AssemblyResult (IRAM writes, ALLOC, frame slot writes)
- CRITICAL 1 (AC6.4): Implement _find_const_for_slot and _find_dest_for_slot
- Enable step 4 (frame slot writes) in _generate_setup_tokens
- Write constants and destinations to frame slots via PELocalWriteToken(region=1)
- Use pack_flit1() for destination routing data
- CRITICAL 2 (AC6.5): T0 bootstrap packing infrastructure
- pack_token is now imported and available for T0 bootstrap
- Add test verifying pack_token can encode tokens for T0 storage
- CRITICAL 3: Add missing PEConfig frame fields in generate_direct()
- Set frame_slots and matchable_offsets from SystemConfig
- Compute initial_frames: dict[frame_id, list[FrameSlotValue]]
- Compute initial_tag_store: dict[act_id, frame_id] mapping
- Map each activation to frame slots (constants and destinations)
- IMPORTANT 4: Remove dead imports (AssemblyError, ErrorCategory)
- Cleaned up unused error handling imports
- IMPORTANT 5: Misleading stub docstrings
- Now have proper implementations, docstrings still accurate
- IMPORTANT 6: Add AC6.3 test with known packed instruction value
- test_known_instruction_pack_value verifies ADD with all zeros = 0x0000
- test_roundtrip_pack_unpack verifies pack/unpack are inverses
- MINOR 7: Remove unused imports (already done in CRITICAL 3 fix)
- MINOR 8: Fix _build_iram_for_pe docstring
- Changed 'ALUInst or SMInstInstruction' to 'Instruction object'
All 33 tests pass.
- Add frame config field assertions (frame_count, frame_slots, matchable_offsets) to PEConfig tests
- Verify all test_codegen.py uses act_id (not ctx) and no gen field in tokens
- Confirm all assertions for setup_tokens field on AssemblyResult
- Verify Instruction type (not ALUInst/SMInst) in IRAM
- All tests pass for new token types (PELocalWriteToken, FrameControlToken)
Task 1: Rewrite _build_iram_for_pe() to produce dict[int, Instruction] from allocated IRNodes
- Replaced ALUInst/SMInst with unified Instruction type
- Mode fields (output, has_const, dest_count) taken from allocate pass
- Simplified implementation removes Addr construction and ctx_mode encoding
Task 2: Add frame setup token generation _generate_setup_tokens()
- Generates ordered token sequence: SM init → IRAM writes → ALLOC → frame slot writes
- IRAM writes use PELocalWriteToken(region=0) with pack_instruction() data
- ALLOC uses FrameControlToken for each activation
- Updated AssemblyResult to include setup_tokens field
Task 3: Update seed token generation for act_id
- Seed tokens use act_id field (not ctx), no gen field
- Updated generate_direct() and generate_tokens() to use new API
- DyadToken/MonadToken construction simplified
Tests:
- New test file: tests/test_codegen_frames.py with 14 comprehensive tests
- Updated tests/test_codegen.py for frame-based model compatibility
- All 29 tests pass (14 new + 15 updated)
Verification:
- pack_instruction() correctly encodes Instruction to 16-bit words
- Token ordering verified: SM init before IRAM writes before ALLOC before seeds
- Seed tokens use act_id, no gen field present
- ALLOC tokens generated per activation per PE
- Fix Critical 1: Compute per-node fref values in _compute_frame_layouts
Each node in an activation gets its own fref based on slot count derived
from its mode. Nodes with different modes now get different frefs.
- Fix Critical 2: Add test verifying per-node fref differentiation
Test ensures nodes in same activation with different modes get different
frefs, with correct slot calculations.
- Fix Important 1: Use matchable_offsets from SystemConfig in frame layouts
Pass matchable_offsets parameter to _compute_frame_layouts(). Use it as
the base for const/dest slot assignment instead of dyadic_count.
Emit warning when dyadic_count > matchable_offsets.
- Fix Important 2: Filter sink MemOps correctly with _SINK_MEMOPS constant
Define _SINK_MEMOPS = {WRITE, CLEAR, FREE, SET_PAGE, WRITE_IMM} at
module level. Use it in _compute_modes() and sink slot counting.
Only count actual sink MemOps, not all MemOps.
- Fix Important 3: Add full allocate pipeline integration test
New test_full_allocate_pipeline() verifies complete allocate() flow:
IRAM offsets, act_ids, modes, frame layouts, IRAM deduplication,
and FrameDest resolution.
- Fix Minor 1: Update stale docstrings
Update module docstring to mention activation IDs, frame layouts, and
FrameDest instead of context slots and Addr.
Update allocate() docstring with detailed pipeline steps.
- Add _compute_modes() to derive OutputStyle, has_const, dest_count from edge topology
- Add _compute_frame_layouts() for frame slot assignment per activation
- Add _assign_act_ids() replacing _assign_context_slots() for 3-bit activation IDs
- Remove _assign_context_slots() function
- Update allocate() main flow to call new functions in sequence
- Add comprehensive test suite in tests/test_allocate_frames.py
Verifies AC5.2 (canonical layouts), AC5.3 (sequential activation IDs),
AC5.4 (slot assignment order), AC5.5 (mode computation),
AC5.6 (overflow checking), AC5.7 (exhaustion detection)
- Add _deduplicate_iram() function for deduplicating IRAM entries by instruction template
- Rewrite _assign_iram_offsets() documentation and implementation for deduplication
- Two nodes share an IRAM offset when they have identical opcode, output style, has_const, dest_count, wide, and fref
- Verifies AC5.1: identical instruction templates on same PE share IRAM entries
- All instructions cost 1 slot per Phase 4 change
Critical fixes:
- test_qualified_ref_params.py: Renamed CtxSlotRef→ActSlotRef, CtxSlotRange→ActSlotRange, node.ctx_slot→node.act_slot throughout
- test_call_wiring.py: Updated free_ctx→free_frame in node name checks and call_site.free_ctx_nodes→call_site.free_frame_nodes
- test_allocate.py: Changed CallSite() constructor calls from free_ctx_nodes= to free_frame_nodes=
- test_parser.py: Changed shiftl mnemonic to shl
- test_lower.py: Changed shiftl mnemonic to shl and ArithOp.SHIFT_L to ArithOp.SHL
Important fixes:
- asm/place.py line 279: Changed warning message from "Activation on PE {pe_id} uses..." to "PE {pe_id} uses..." to reflect that tracking is per-PE, not per-activation
Implementation fixes:
- asm/allocate.py line 175: Changed call_site.free_ctx_nodes to call_site.free_frame_nodes
- asm/allocate.py line 233: Changed call_site.free_ctx_nodes to call_site.free_frame_nodes
- asm/allocate.py line 286: Changed replace(node, ctx=...) to replace(node, act_id=...)
- asm/allocate.py line 621: Changed system.ctx_slots to system.frame_count
All renamed tests now pass (312 tests). Remaining failures are Phase 5/6 scope (Addr type not yet defined).
Task 7: Update assembler test files for terminology renames
Changes:
- Rename node.ctx to node.act_id in assertions (test_allocate.py)
- Rename system.ctx_slots to system.frame_count in test configs
(test_place.py, test_autoplacement.py, test_allocate.py, and related files)
- Rename FREE_CTX to FREE_FRAME in test node construction
(test_allocate.py, test_codegen.py, test_call_wiring.py)
- Update @system pragma parameter from "ctx" to "frames" (test_lower.py)
Also update default IRAM capacity from 64 to 256 to match new default
- Update test_opcodes.py for shift mnemonic renames and new opcodes:
- "shiftl"/"shiftr"/"ashiftr" → "shl"/"shr"/"asr"
- Add "free_frame" (was "free_ctx")
- Add "extract_tag" and "alloc_remote" (new routing ops)
- Update MONADIC_OPS count from 20 to 22 (added EXTRACT_TAG, ALLOC_REMOTE)
- Update MNEMONIC_TO_OP count from 43 to 45
- Update test names and assertions for free_frame terminology
These changes enable the frame-based activation model where:
- Activations replace contexts for scoping
- Frames replace ctx_slots for concurrent activation tracking
- New routing opcodes (EXTRACT_TAG, ALLOC_REMOTE) are monadic
- Shift opcodes use standardized mnemonics
Task 4: Update asm/lower.py for act_slot rename
- Rename ctx_slot to act_slot in IRNode construction
- Rename CtxSlotRef/CtxSlotRange to ActSlotRef/ActSlotRange imports
- Update @system pragma parsing: ctx_slots parameter → frames (default 8)
- Update iram default from 64 to 256
Task 5: Update asm/expand.py for FREE_FRAME and ActSlotRef
- Rename FREE_CTX to FREE_FRAME in call wiring
- Rename free_ctx_name/free_ctx_nodes to free_frame_name/free_frame_nodes
- Update CallSite field reference from free_ctx_nodes to free_frame_nodes
- Rename ctx_slot to act_slot field access
- Update docstring comment
Task 6: Update asm/place.py for frame_count and IRAM cost
- Change _count_iram_cost() to return 1 for all node types
- Replace ctx_used/ctx_slots tracking with frames_used/frame_count
- Add dyadic offset tracking with matchable offset warning (AC5.8)
- Add ErrorSeverity import for warning generation
- Update system.ctx_slots references to system.frame_count
- Update error messages to show frame count instead of context slots
These changes support the new frame-based activation model where:
- Frames replace contexts for scoping
- IRAM cost is uniform (1 slot per instruction)
- Matching is handled by frame SRAM, not IRAM entries
- Remove dead except block around flit_count() in _handle_exec
flit_count() handles all 16-bit inputs without raising exceptions,
so the try/except (ValueError, KeyError) block was unreachable code
- Update stale _handle_t0_write docstring to reflect current architecture
T0 is now list[int] with pack_token()/unpack_token() serialization
(future work from original docstring was already implemented in Phase 3)
- Change t0_store padding from None to 0 to match list[int] annotation
Simplifies _handle_t0_read by removing None check
Makes padding consistent with type annotation
- Update test comment in test_malformed_flit_invalid_prefix
Accurately describes what happens: flit_count(0xFFFF) returns 2,
but only 1 flit available, so truncation check catches it
- Rename test_exec_stops_at_none_sentinel to test_exec_processes_multiple_packets_until_end
Old test relied on None sentinel that no longer exists
New test verifies EXEC processes multiple consecutive valid packets
