FORGE Phase 2 (v0.2.0): Typed Execution Stack Machine β€” Complete

Overview

Phase 2 implements a complete typed execution layer for Sovereign Forge, enabling compile-time verification of stack machine programs through type inference and obligation generation.

Status: βœ“ COMPLETE β€” All 12 tests passing, full type system operational


What Was Built

1. Stack Operations (src/typecheck/sov_types.c)

Push/Pop/Peek with Underflow Detection:

  • sov_stack_new() β€” Create empty stack (256-depth capacity)
  • sov_stack_push(stack, type, rows, cols, data, is_owned) β€” Add typed value to stack
  • sov_stack_pop(stack) β€” Remove and return top (caller owns)
  • sov_stack_peek(stack) β€” Borrowed reference to top without removing
  • All operations return NULL/error on underflow

Stack Value Types:

typedef struct {
    ValType type;           /* VAL_SCALAR, VAL_VECTOR, VAL_MATRIX, VAL_PROOF */
    Shape shape;            /* (rows, cols) for vectors/matrices */
    void *data;             /* Optional: pointer to actual data */
    bool is_owned;          /* Track ownership for cleanup */
} StackValue;

2. Forward Type Inference Engine (src/typecheck/sov_types.c)

Per-Instruction Type Judgment:

Implements the following instruction set with formal type rules:

Opcode Judgment Effect
PUSH_SCALAR Ξ³ ⊒ const: Scalar Ξ³ β†’ Ξ³,Scalar
PUSH_VECTOR Ξ³ ⊒ [vβ‚€...v_{n-1}]: Vec[n] Ξ³ β†’ Ξ³,Vec[n]
PUSH_MATRIX Ξ³ ⊒ mat_{mΓ—n}: Mat(mΓ—n) Ξ³ β†’ Ξ³,Mat(mΓ—n)
DUP Ξ³,Ο„ ⊒ DUP Ξ³,Ο„ β†’ Ξ³,Ο„,Ο„
SWAP Ξ³,τ₁,Ο„β‚‚ ⊒ SWAP Ξ³,τ₁,Ο„β‚‚ β†’ Ξ³,Ο„β‚‚,τ₁
POP Ξ³,Ο„ ⊒ POP Ξ³,Ο„ β†’ Ξ³
ADD Ξ³,Ο„,Ο„ ⊒ Ο„+Ο„ (Scalar or Vec) Ξ³,Ο„,Ο„ β†’ Ξ³,Ο„
SUB Ξ³,Ο„,Ο„ ⊒ Ο„-Ο„ (Scalar or Vec) Ξ³,Ο„,Ο„ β†’ Ξ³,Ο„
MATMUL Ξ³,Mat(mΓ—n),Mat(nΓ—p) ⊒ * Ξ³,Mat(mΓ—n),Mat(nΓ—p) β†’ Ξ³,Mat(mΓ—p)
VERIFY_INV Ξ³,Mat(nΓ—n) ⊒ verify_inv Ξ³,Mat(nΓ—n) β†’ Ξ³, Obl(INV)
VERIFY_SOL Ξ³,Mat(mΓ—n),Vec[m] ⊒ verify_sol Ξ³ β†’ Ξ³, Obl(SOLVE)
VERIFY_LSTSQ Ξ³,Mat(mΓ—n) ⊒ verify_lstsq Ξ³ β†’ Ξ³, Obl(LSTSQ)
HALT Program termination Stop inference

Inference Algorithm:

InferResult *sov_infer_program(
    const uint8_t *program_bytes,
    size_t program_len,
    Stack *initial_stack,
    TypeEnv *env
)
  • Executes instruction stream sequentially
  • Maintains working stack copy with type information
  • Generates obligations on verification instructions
  • Detects errors: underflow, type mismatch, shape conflicts, buffer overflow
  • Returns: final stack state + collected obligations or error message

3. Shape Unification (src/typecheck/sov_types.c)

Type Compatibility Checking:

bool sov_shape_unify(Shape s1, Shape s2)
  • Used in binary operations (ADD, SUB, MATMUL)
  • Verifies dimension compatibility
  • Example: Vec[5] β‰  Vec[3] β†’ error

4. Obligation Generation (src/obligations/sov_obligations.c)

Dynamic Obligation Tracking:

  • sov_obset_new() β€” Create obligation set (growable)
  • sov_obset_add_inv() β€” Generate OBL_KIND_INV
  • sov_obset_add_type() β€” Generate OBL_KIND_TYPE
  • sov_obset_at(set, index) β€” Iterate obligations
  • Obligations track: ID, kind, start/end PC, description

Obligation Types:

OBL_KIND_INV     β€” Matrix invariant: A*X = I
OBL_KIND_SOLVE   β€” Linear solve: A*x = b
OBL_KIND_LSTSQ   β€” Least squares: A^T(Ax-b) = 0
OBL_KIND_TYPE    β€” Type constraint
OBL_KIND_PROP    β€” Property assertion

Test Suite (tests/typecheck/test_infer.c)

All 12 tests passing:

  1. βœ“ test_infer_push_scalar β€” PUSH_SCALAR increases depth, preserves type
  2. βœ“ test_infer_dup_preserves_type β€” DUP creates exact copy
  3. βœ“ test_infer_swap_exchanges β€” SWAP reorders stack correctly
  4. βœ“ test_infer_add_scalars β€” ADD with compatible types succeeds
  5. βœ“ test_infer_matmul_shape_inference β€” MATMUL infers (mΓ—p) from (mΓ—n)*(nΓ—p)
  6. βœ“ test_infer_stack_underflow_detection β€” Peek/pop on empty stack returns NULL
  7. βœ“ test_infer_shape_mismatch_add β€” ADD with incompatible shapes rejected
  8. βœ“ test_infer_verify_inv_obligation_generation β€” VERIFY_INV creates obligation
  9. βœ“ test_infer_full_program_trace β€” Multi-instruction sequence infers correctly
  10. βœ“ test_unify_compatible_types β€” unify((3,4), (3,4)) = true
  11. βœ“ test_unify_conflict_detection β€” unify((2,3), (2,4)) = false
  12. βœ“ test_infer_obligations_collected β€” Multiple obligations tracked with correct IDs

Architecture Highlights

Type Judgment Semantics

Judgment Form: Ξ³ ⊒ instr β†’ Ξ³'

Where:

  • Ξ³ = input stack type environment
  • instr = instruction with operands
  • Ξ³' = output stack type environment

Key Invariants:

  1. Type preservation: Operations only manipulate compatible types
  2. Stack safety: All operations check depth before access
  3. Shape safety: Matrix operations verify dimension consistency
  4. Obligation generation: Verification instructions create signed obligations

Memory Safety

  • All allocations checked for success
  • Stack depth limited to 256 (configurable)
  • Buffer capacity tracking for external data
  • Owned vs. borrowed references tracked
  • Cleanup via sov_stack_free(), sov_infer_free(), sov_obset_free()

Error Handling

Detailed error messages for:

  • Stack underflow: "POP: stack underflow"
  • Type mismatch: "ADD: type mismatch (need compatible scalars or vectors)"
  • Shape conflict: "ADD: vector shape mismatch [3] vs [5]"
  • Dimension mismatch: "MATMUL: inner dimension mismatch (4 != 3)"
  • Malformed opcodes: "PUSH_MATRIX: malformed opcode"
