+# Compile-Time Name Resolution Spec (Draft)
+
+## Goals
+- Resolve all identifiers at compile time; unresolved names are errors.
+- Generate direct slot/method accesses with no runtime scope traversal.
+- Make closure capture deterministic and safe (no accidental shadowing).
+- Keep metaprogramming via explicit reflective APIs only.
+
+## Non-Goals (initial phase)
+- Dynamic by-name lookup as part of core execution path.
+- Runtime scope walking to discover names.
+
+## Overview
+Compilation is split into two passes:
+1) Declaration collection: gather all symbol definitions for each lexical scope.
+2) Resolution/codegen: resolve every identifier to a concrete reference:
+   - local/arg slot
+   - captured slot (outer scope or module)
+   - this-member slot or method slot
+   - explicit reflection (opt-in)
+
+If resolution fails, compilation errors immediately.
+
+## Resolution Priority
+When resolving a name `x` in a given scope:
+1) Local variables in the current lexical scope (including shadowing).
+2) Function parameters in the current lexical scope.
+3) Local variables/parameters from outer lexical scopes (captures).
+4) `this` members (fields/properties/functions), using MI linearization.
+5) Module/global symbols (treated as deep captures).
+
+Notes:
+- Steps 3-5 require explicit capture or member-slot resolution.
+- This order is deterministic and does not change at runtime.
+
+## Closures and Captures
+Closures capture a fixed list of referenced symbols from outer scopes.
+- Captures are immutable references to outer slots unless the original is mutable.
+- Captures are stored in the frame metadata, not looked up by name.
+- Globals are just captures from the module frame.
+
+Example:
+```lyng
+var g = 1
+fun f(a) {
+    var b = a + g
+    return { b + g }
+}
+```
+Compiled captures: `b` and `g`, both resolved at compile time.
+
+## Capture Sources (Metadata)
+Captures are a single mechanism. The module scope is simply the outermost
+scope and is captured the same way as any other scope.
+
+For debugging/tooling, captures are tagged with their origin:
+- `local`: current lexical scope
+- `outer`: enclosing lexical scope
+- `module`: module/root scope
+
+This tagging is metadata only and does not change runtime behavior.
+
+## `this` Member Resolution (MI)
+- Resolve members via MI linearization at compile time.
+- Ambiguous or inaccessible members are compile-time errors.
+- `override` is required when MI introduces conflicts.
+- Qualified access is allowed when unambiguous:
+  `this@BaseA.method()`
+
+Example (conflict):
+```lyng
+class A { fun foo() = 1 }
+class B { fun foo() = 2 }
+class C : A, B { }  // error: requires override
+```
+
+## Shadowing Rules
+Shadowing policy is configurable:
+- Locals may shadow parameters (allowed by default).
+- Locals may shadow captures/globals (allowed by default).
+- Locals shadowing `this` members should emit warnings by default.
+- Shadowing can be escalated to errors by policy.
+
+Example (allowed by default):
+```lyng
+fun test(a) {
+    var a = a * 10
+    a
+}
+```
+
+Suggested configuration (default):
+- `shadow_param`: allow, warn = false
+- `shadow_capture`: allow, warn = false
+- `shadow_global`: allow, warn = false
+- `shadow_member`: allow, warn = true
+
+## Reflection and Metaprogramming
+Reflection must be explicit:
+- `scope.get("x")`/`scope.set("x", v)` are allowed but limited to the
+  compile-time-visible set.
+- No implicit name lookup falls back to reflection.
+- Reflection uses frame metadata, not dynamic scope traversal.
+
+Implication:
+- Metaprogramming can still inspect locals/captures/members that were
+  visible at compile time.
+- Unknown names remain errors unless accessed explicitly via reflection.
+
+### Reflection API (Lyng)
+Proposed minimal surface:
+- `scope.get(name: String): Obj?`  // only compile-time-visible names
+- `scope.set(name: String, value: Obj)` // only if mutable and visible
+- `scope.locals(): List<String>`  // visible locals in current frame
+- `scope.captures(): List<String>` // visible captures for this frame
+- `scope.members(): List<String>` // visible this-members for this frame
+
+### Reflection API (Kotlin)
+Expose a restricted view aligned with compile-time metadata:
+- `Scope.getVisible(name: String): ObjRecord?`
+- `Scope.setVisible(name: String, value: Obj)`
+- `Scope.visibleLocals(): List<String>`
+- `Scope.visibleCaptures(): List<String>`
+- `Scope.visibleMembers(): List<String>`
+
+Notes:
+- These APIs never traverse parent scopes.
+- Errors are thrown if name is not visible or not mutable.
+
+## Frame Model
+Each compiled unit includes:
+- `localSlots`: fixed indexes for locals/args.
+- `captureSlots`: fixed indexes for captured outer values.
+- `thisSlots`: fixed member/method slots resolved at compile time.
+- `debugNames`: optional for disassembly/debugger.
+
+Slot resolution is constant-time with no name lookup in hot paths.
+
+### Module Slot Allocation
+Module slots are assigned deterministically per module:
+- Stable order: declaration order in source (after preprocessing/import resolution).
+- No reordering across builds unless source changes.
+- Slots are fixed at compile time and embedded in compiled units.
+
+Recommended metadata:
+- `moduleName`
+- `moduleSlotCount`
+- `moduleSlotNames[]`
+- `moduleSlotMutables[]`
+
+### Capture Slot Allocation
+Capture slots are assigned per compiled unit:
+- Stable order: first occurrence in lexical traversal.
+- Captures include locals, outer locals, and module symbols.
+- Captures include mutability metadata and origin (local/outer/module).
+
+Example capture table:
+```
+idx  name   origin     mutable
+0    b      outer      true
+1    G      module     false
+```
+
+## Error Cases (compile time)
+- Unresolved identifier.
+- Ambiguous MI member.
+- Inaccessible member (visibility).
+- Illegal write to immutable slot.
+
+## Resolution Algorithm (pseudocode)
+```
+pass1_collect_decls(module):
+  for each scope in module:
+    record locals/args declared in that scope
+  record module-level decls
+
+pass2_resolve(module):
+  for each compiled unit (function/block):
+    for each identifier reference:
+      if name in current_scope.locals:
+        bind LocalSlot(current_scope, slot)
+      else if name in current_scope.args:
+        bind LocalSlot(current_scope, slot)
+      else if name in any outer_scope.locals_or_args:
+        bind CaptureSlot(outer_scope, slot)
+      else if name in this_members:
+        resolve via MI linearization
+        bind ThisSlot(member_slot)
+      else if name in module_symbols:
+        bind CaptureSlot(module_scope, slot)
+      else:
+        error "unresolved name"
+
+    for each assignment:
+      verify target is mutable
+      error if immutable
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+### Local vs Member Shadowing
+```lyng
+class C { val x = 1 }
+fun f() {
+    val x = 2      // warning by default: shadows member
+    x
+}
+```
+
+### Closure Capture Determinism
+```lyng
+var g = 1
+fun f() {
+    var g = 2
+    return { g }   // captures local g, not global
+}
+```
+
+### Explicit Reflection
+```lyng
+fun f() {
+    val x = 1
+    scope.get("x") // ok (compile-time-visible set)
+    scope.get("y") // error at compile time unless via explicit dynamic API
+}
+```
+
+## Dry Run / Metadata Mode
+The compiler supports a "dry run" that performs full declaration and
+resolution without generating executable code. It returns:
+- Symbol tables (locals, captures, members) with slots and origins
+- Documentation strings and source positions
+- MI linearization and member resolution results
+- Shadowing diagnostics (warnings/errors)
+
+This metadata drives:
+- IDE autocompletion and navigation
+- Mini-doc tooltips and documentation generators
+- Static analysis (visibility and override checks)
+
+## Migration Notes
+- Keep reflection APIs separate to audit usage.
+- Add warnings for member shadowing to surface risky code.
+
+## Compatibility Notes (Kotlin interop)
+- Provide minimal Kotlin-facing APIs that mirror compile-time-visible names.
+- Do not preserve legacy runtime scope traversal.
+- Any existing Kotlin code relying on dynamic lookup must migrate to
+  explicit reflection calls or pre-resolved handles.
