+# Plum WASM Codegen + Type Checker Implementation Plan
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+**Goal:** Add a strict type checker (`plum-checker`) and WASM code generator (`plum-wasm-codegen`) to the plum language, wired into `plum-cli` as a `compile` subcommand.
+**Architecture:** Parse with `plum-core::AstParser`, type-check with `plum-checker::check_source` (strict — errors halt compilation), then lower to `.wasm` bytes with `plum-wasm-codegen::compile_source`. The hica compiler (`plum/hica/`) is the reference implementation throughout.
+**Tech Stack:** Rust, `wasm-encoder = "0.220"`, `wasmparser = "0.220"` (test validation), plum AST from `plum-core`.
+## Global Constraints
+- Edition 2021 for all new crates (existing plum-core uses 2021; hica uses 2024 — stick with 2021)
+- Strict mode: non-empty `Vec<CheckError>` from `check_source` → print errors to stderr, `process::exit(1)`
+- v1 scope: `Int`, `Float`, `Bool`, `Str` primitives; top-level `fn`, `Const`; arithmetic/bool/compare ops; `if`/`else`; `for` range (`a..b`); `while`; local `Assign`; `FnCall`; `return`
+- Type mapping: `Int → i64`, `Float → f64`, `Bool → i32`, `Str → i32` (pointer), `Unit → no value`
+- `main()` is exported as `"main"` in the WASM module
+- Follow existing plum AST types exactly — `plum-core::ast::*`
+---
+## File Map
+**New files (create):**
+- `plum-checker/Cargo.toml`
+- `plum-checker/src/lib.rs` — all checker logic
+- `plum-checker/src/types.rs` — `PlumType`, `TypeScheme`, `TypeEnv`, `InferState`, `CheckError`
+- `plum-checker/tests/checker_tests.rs`
+- `plum-wasm-codegen/Cargo.toml`
+- `plum-wasm-codegen/src/lib.rs` — `WasmModule`, `CompileCtx`, `compile_source`
+- `plum-wasm-codegen/tests/codegen_tests.rs`
+**Modified files:**
+- `Cargo.toml` — add `plum-checker` and `plum-wasm-codegen` to `[workspace]`
+- `plum-cli/Cargo.toml` — add deps on `plum-checker` and `plum-wasm-codegen`
+- `plum-cli/src/main.rs` — add `compile` subcommand
+---
+## Task 1: Workspace scaffolding
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `Cargo.toml`
+- Create: `plum-checker/Cargo.toml`
+- Create: `plum-wasm-codegen/Cargo.toml`
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces: two new crates resolvable by `cargo build -p plum-checker` and `cargo build -p plum-wasm-codegen`
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add crates to workspace**
+Edit `Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[workspace]
+members = ["plum-core", "plum-cli", "plum-checker", "plum-wasm-codegen"]
+resolver = "2"
+```
+- [ ] **Step 2: Create plum-checker/Cargo.toml**
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "plum-checker"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2021"
+[dependencies]
+plum-core = { path = "../plum-core" }
+```
+- [ ] **Step 3: Create plum-wasm-codegen/Cargo.toml**
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "plum-wasm-codegen"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2021"
+[dependencies]
+wasm-encoder = "0.220"
+plum-core = { path = "../plum-core" }
+plum-checker = { path = "../plum-checker" }
+[dev-dependencies]
+wasmparser = "0.220"
+```
+- [ ] **Step 4: Create empty lib stubs so workspace resolves**
+Create `plum-checker/src/lib.rs`:
+```rust
+pub mod types;
+```
+Create `plum-checker/src/types.rs`:
+```rust
+// placeholder
+```
+Create `plum-wasm-codegen/src/lib.rs`:
+```rust
+// placeholder
+```
+- [ ] **Step 5: Verify workspace builds**
+```
+cargo build --workspace
+```
+Expected: compiles (possibly with unused warnings, no errors).
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+```bash
+git add Cargo.toml Cargo.lock plum-checker/ plum-wasm-codegen/
+git commit -m "chore: scaffold plum-checker and plum-wasm-codegen crates"
+```
+---
+## Task 2: Type definitions (`plum-checker/src/types.rs`)
+**Files:**
+- Create: `plum-checker/src/types.rs`
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces:
+  - `pub enum PlumType` with variants: `TInt`, `TFloat`, `TBool`, `TStr`, `TUnit`, `TVar(String)`, `TFun(Vec<PlumType>, Box<PlumType>)`, `TNamed(String)`
+  - `pub struct TypeScheme { pub vars: Vec<String>, pub body: Box<PlumType> }`
+  - `pub type TypeEnv = std::collections::BTreeMap<String, TypeScheme>`
+  - `pub struct InferState { pub counter: u64 }` with `fn fresh_var(&mut self) -> String` and `fn fresh_type(&mut self) -> PlumType`
+  - `pub struct CheckError { pub message: String }`
+  - `pub type CheckResult<T> = Result<T, Vec<CheckError>>`
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+Create `plum-checker/tests/checker_tests.rs`:
+```rust
+use plum_checker::types::*;
+#[test]
+fn fresh_vars_are_unique() {
+    let mut state = InferState::new();
+    let a = state.fresh_var();
+    let b = state.fresh_var();
+    assert_ne!(a, b);
+    assert_eq!(a, "a0");
+    assert_eq!(b, "a1");
+}
+#[test]
+fn mono_scheme() {
+    let scheme = TypeScheme::mono(PlumType::TInt);
+    assert!(scheme.vars.is_empty());
+    assert_eq!(*scheme.body, PlumType::TInt);
+}
+```
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
+```
+cargo test -p plum-checker 2>&1 | head -20
+```
+Expected: compile error — types not defined.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement types.rs**
+Replace `plum-checker/src/types.rs` with:
+```rust
+use std::collections::BTreeMap;
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
+pub enum PlumType {
+    TInt,
+    TFloat,
+    TBool,
+    TStr,
+    TUnit,
+    TVar(String),
+    TFun(Vec<PlumType>, Box<PlumType>),
+    TNamed(String),
+}
+impl std::fmt::Display for PlumType {
+    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
+        match self {
+            PlumType::TInt => write!(f, "Int"),
+            PlumType::TFloat => write!(f, "Float"),
+            PlumType::TBool => write!(f, "Bool"),
+            PlumType::TStr => write!(f, "Str"),
+            PlumType::TUnit => write!(f, "Unit"),
+            PlumType::TVar(n) => write!(f, "{}", n),
+            PlumType::TFun(ps, r) => {
+                let ps_str: Vec<_> = ps.iter().map(|p| p.to_string()).collect();
+                write!(f, "({}) -> {}", ps_str.join(", "), r)
+            }
+            PlumType::TNamed(n) => write!(f, "{}", n),
+        }
+    }
+}
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
+pub struct TypeScheme {
+    pub vars: Vec<String>,
+    pub body: Box<PlumType>,
+}
+impl TypeScheme {
+    pub fn mono(t: PlumType) -> Self {
+        TypeScheme { vars: vec![], body: Box::new(t) }
+    }
+}
+pub type TypeEnv = BTreeMap<String, TypeScheme>;
+pub struct InferState {
+    pub counter: u64,
+}
+impl InferState {
+    pub fn new() -> Self {
+        InferState { counter: 0 }
+    }
+    pub fn fresh_var(&mut self) -> String {
+        let name = format!("a{}", self.counter);
+        self.counter += 1;
+        name
+    }
+    pub fn fresh_type(&mut self) -> PlumType {
+        PlumType::TVar(self.fresh_var())
+    }
+}
+#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
+pub struct CheckError {
+    pub message: String,
+}
+impl std::fmt::Display for CheckError {
+    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
+        write!(f, "{}", self.message)
+    }
+}
+pub type CheckResult<T> = Result<T, Vec<CheckError>>;
+```
+Also update `plum-checker/src/lib.rs`:
+```rust
+pub mod types;
+```
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
+```
+cargo test -p plum-checker
+```
+Expected: `fresh_vars_are_unique` PASS, `mono_scheme` PASS.
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
+```bash
+git add plum-checker/src/types.rs plum-checker/src/lib.rs plum-checker/tests/checker_tests.rs
+git commit -m "feat(plum-checker): add type definitions"
+```

+## Task 3: Type checker — unification and name resolution
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `plum-checker/src/lib.rs`
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `PlumType`, `TypeEnv`, `InferState`, `CheckError`, `CheckResult` from `types.rs`
+- Produces:
+  - `pub fn plum_type_from_ast(ty: &plum_core::ast::Type) -> PlumType`
+  - `fn unify(t1: &PlumType, t2: &PlumType) -> Result<(), String>`
+  - `fn lookup(env: &TypeEnv, name: &str) -> Result<PlumType, String>`
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests**
+Append to `plum-checker/tests/checker_tests.rs`:
+```rust
+use plum_checker::{plum_type_from_ast, unify};
+use plum_checker::types::PlumType;
+use plum_core::ast::Type as AstType;
+#[test]
+fn ast_type_int_maps_to_tint() {
+    let ast_ty = AstType { name: "Int".to_string(), generics: vec![] };
+    assert_eq!(plum_type_from_ast(&ast_ty), PlumType::TInt);

+    let ast_ty = AstType { name: "MyClass".to_string(), generics: vec![] };
+    assert_eq!(plum_type_from_ast(&ast_ty), PlumType::TNamed("MyClass".to_string()));

+#[test]

+}
+#[test]
+fn unify_different_types_err() {
+    assert!(unify(&PlumType::TInt, &PlumType::TFloat).is_err());

+## Task 4: Type checker tests — error cases
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `plum-checker/tests/checker_tests.rs`
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `check_source` from `plum-checker`
+- Produces: verified that wrong return types, undeclared vars, and operator mismatches produce errors
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests**
+Append to `plum-checker/tests/checker_tests.rs`:
+```rust
+use plum_checker::check_source;
+use plum_core::{ast::*, AstParser};
+fn parse(src: &str) -> Source {
+    let mut parser = tree_sitter::Parser::new();
+    parser.set_language(&tree_sitter_plum::LANGUAGE.into()).unwrap();
+    let tree = parser.parse(src, None).unwrap();
+    let ap = AstParser::new(src);
+    ap.parse_source(tree.root_node())
+}
+#[test]
+fn valid_add_fn_passes() {
+    let src = "add(a: Int, b: Int) -> Int =\n  a + b\n";
+    let source = parse(src);
+    assert!(check_source(&source).is_ok(), "expected Ok");
+}
+#[test]
+fn wrong_return_type_is_error() {
+    let src = "bad() -> Int =\n  True\n";
+    let source = parse(src);
+    let result = check_source(&source);
+    assert!(result.is_err());
+    let errs = result.unwrap_err();
+    assert!(errs[0].message.contains("return type mismatch"), "got: {}", errs[0].message);
+}
+#[test]
+fn undeclared_var_is_error() {
+    let src = "bad() -> Int =\n  x\n";
+    let source = parse(src);
+    let result = check_source(&source);
+    assert!(result.is_err());
+}
+#[test]
+fn type_mismatch_in_binary_op_is_error() {
+    let src = "bad() -> Int =\n  1 + 2.0\n";
+    let source = parse(src);
+    let result = check_source(&source);
+    assert!(result.is_err());
+}
+```
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add tree-sitter-plum to checker dev-dependencies**
+Edit `plum-checker/Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "plum-checker"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2021"
+[dependencies]
+plum-core = { path = "../plum-core" }
+[dev-dependencies]
+tree-sitter = "0.26"
+tree-sitter-plum = { path = "../tooling/tree-sitter-plum" }
+```
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run tests**
+```
+cargo test -p plum-checker
+```
+Expected: all tests PASS.
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+```bash
+git add plum-checker/Cargo.toml plum-checker/tests/checker_tests.rs
+git commit -m "test(plum-checker): add error-case tests for type checker"

+---
+## Task 5: WASM module builder (`plum-wasm-codegen/src/lib.rs`)
+**Files:**
+- Create: `plum-wasm-codegen/src/lib.rs`
+**Interfaces:**
+- Produces:
+  - `pub struct WasmModule` with methods: `new()`, `add_type(params, results) -> u32`, `add_import(module, name, type_idx) -> u32`, `add_function(type_idx, body) -> u32`, `add_export(name, kind, idx)`, `add_memory(min, max) -> u32`, `add_global(val_type, mutable, init) -> u32`, `add_data_segment(offset, data)`, `finish() -> Vec<u8>`
+  - `pub struct FuncSig { pub params: Vec<ValType>, pub ret: Option<ValType> }`
+  - `pub struct CompileCtx` with fields: `module: WasmModule`, `func_ids: HashMap<String, u32>`, `func_sigs: HashMap<String, FuncSig>`, `current_locals: HashMap<String, u32>`, `label_count: u32`, `bump_offset: u32`
+  - `pub fn compile_source(source: &plum_core::ast::Source) -> Result<Vec<u8>, String>`
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write a failing codegen test**
+Create `plum-wasm-codegen/tests/codegen_tests.rs`:
+```rust
+use plum_wasm_codegen::compile_source;
+use plum_core::AstParser;
+fn parse(src: &str) -> plum_core::ast::Source {
+    let mut parser = tree_sitter::Parser::new();
+    parser.set_language(&tree_sitter_plum::LANGUAGE.into()).unwrap();
+    let tree = parser.parse(src, None).unwrap();
+    let ap = AstParser::new(src);
+    ap.parse_source(tree.root_node())
+}
+#[test]
+fn compiles_to_valid_wasm() {
+    let src = "add(a: Int, b: Int) -> Int =\n  a + b\n";
+    let source = parse(src);
+    let bytes = compile_source(&source).expect("compile failed");
+    // Valid WASM starts with the magic number
+    assert_eq!(&bytes[0..4], b"\0asm");
+    assert_eq!(&bytes[4..8], &[1, 0, 0, 0]); // version 1
+}
+#[test]
+fn output_validates() {

+    let source = parse(src);
+    let bytes = compile_source(&source).expect("compile failed");
+    // wasmparser should accept the output
+    let result = wasmparser::validate(&bytes, None);
+    assert!(result.is_ok(), "wasm validation failed: {:?}", result.err());
+}
+```
+Add dev-dependencies to `plum-wasm-codegen/Cargo.toml`:
+```toml
+[dev-dependencies]
+wasmparser = "0.220"
+tree-sitter = "0.26"
+tree-sitter-plum = { path = "../tooling/tree-sitter-plum" }
+```
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify fail**
+```
+cargo test -p plum-wasm-codegen 2>&1 | head -20
+```
+Expected: compile error — `compile_source` not defined.
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement WasmModule and CompileCtx**
+Replace `plum-wasm-codegen/src/lib.rs`:

+## Task 7: Wire up `plum compile` CLI subcommand
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `plum-cli/Cargo.toml`
+- Modify: `plum-cli/src/main.rs`
+**Interfaces:**
+- Consumes: `plum_checker::check_source`, `plum_wasm_codegen::compile_source`, `plum_core::AstParser`
+- Produces: `plum compile <file.plum> [-o output.wasm]` command
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update plum-cli/Cargo.toml**
+```toml
+[package]
+name = "plum-cli"
+version = "0.1.0"
+edition = "2021"
+[[bin]]
+name = "plum"
+path = "src/main.rs"
+[dependencies]
+plum-core = { path = "../plum-core" }
+plum-checker = { path = "../plum-checker" }
+plum-wasm-codegen = { path = "../plum-wasm-codegen" }
+clap = { version = "4", features = ["derive"] }
+anyhow = "1"
+```
+- [ ] **Step 2: Write failing CLI test**
+Create `plum-cli/tests/compile_tests.rs`:
+```rust
+use std::process::Command;
+fn plum_bin() -> std::path::PathBuf {
+    let mut path = std::env::current_exe().unwrap();
+    path.pop(); // remove test binary
+    if path.ends_with("deps") { path.pop(); }
+    path.push("plum");
+    path
+}
+#[test]
+fn compile_add_plum_produces_wasm() {
+    let src_path = concat!(env!("CARGO_MANIFEST_DIR"), "/../test/add.plum");
+    let out_path = "/tmp/add_test_output.wasm";
+    let status = Command::new(plum_bin())
+        .args(["compile", src_path, "-o", out_path])
+        .status()
+        .expect("failed to run plum compile");
+    assert!(status.success(), "plum compile exited with: {}", status);
+    let bytes = std::fs::read(out_path).expect("output wasm not found");
+    assert_eq!(&bytes[0..4], b"\0asm");
+}
+```
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run to verify fail**
+```
+cargo test -p plum-cli 2>&1 | head -20
+```
+Expected: compile error — `Command::Compile` not defined.
