+# Traits with fields (embedding)
+**Review plan:** docs/plans/2026-11-02-traits.review.md
+**Goal:** `trait Name(fields) = methods`; a `record` embeds traits by listing them first in its field list, gains their fields and default methods, and converts to each trait wherever one is expected.
+**Architecture:** Before `resolveMembers`, `lowerTraits` copies trait fields and missing defaults into each embedding record, adds accessors `__get_<f>`/`__set_<f>` per field, and replaces each trait with a union enum (`isTrait: true`). Conversion, dispatch and narrowing reuse unions; trait field reads/writes become accessor dispatches in `union_lower`.
+**Tech stack:** Rust workspace, tree-sitter grammar (regenerate with `tree-sitter generate --disable-optimizations`), Plum std/examples.
+**Spec:** docs/plans/2026-11-02-traits.review.md
+**Detail:** contracts
+**Target-min:** 30
+**Budget-usd:** 40
+Global constraints:
+- Language Rust; fast tests `cargo test -p <crate> --test <file>`; full suite in `.superlite/test-cmd.json`.
+- `touch` an edited .rs before trusting `cargo build --quiet` (stale-build gotcha).
+- Grammar edits: regenerate with `--disable-optimizations`, then `tree-sitter test` must pass the whole corpus.
+- Identifiers are camelCase in Rust (repo style, `#![allow(non_snake_case)]`).
+- Accessor names are exactly `__get_<field>` and `__set_<field>`; a trait union is an `Enum` with `isTrait: true` and one hidden member variant per embedding record (`Entity__House`), in declaration order.
+- v1 exclusions: generic traits, traits embedding traits, `fun*` in traits, struct embedding, `==` on trait values.
+- `plum format <file>` rewrites in place: run it only on copies or on the new example.

+**Review Focus:** `trait_bodiless_method_only_in_trait`: `fun f(self)` with no `=` at top level is still an extern-less error path as today (no new acceptance outside traits); `record_embed_after_field_rejected`: `record H(k: Int, E)` is a syntax error; `struct_embed_parses`: `struct S(E, x: Int)` parses with embeds ["E"] (T2 reports the error); corpus all green.
+**Test code:** named tests: `parses_trait_fields_required_and_defaults` (above e.g.), `parses_record_with_two_embeds` (`record H(E, C, k: Int)` -> embeds ["E","C"]), `parses_record_embeds_only` (`record H(E)` -> embeds ["E"], no own fields), `trait_methods_have_self_and_type_param` (each trait Fn has has_self and type_param = Some("E")), `trait_without_fields` (`trait T =\n  fun a(self)` parses, fields empty).
+**Steps:** 1 failing tests, 2 grammar `trait` rule (optional `(fields)`, `=` indent body of `fn`), record/struct field list `commaSep1` with leading `type_identifier` embeds, 3 regenerate `--disable-optimizations`, add corpus, 4 parser + AST (`Enum` gains `embeds`, `isTrait` default false everywhere it is constructed), 5 PASS + `tree-sitter test`.
+**Notes:** required methods are `Fn` with `body: FnBody::Extern` and `is_extern: false`. New `Item::Trait` arms: add to every exhaustive `match` on `Item` across the workspace (`cargo build --workspace` must pass); downstream crates may treat it as unreachable after lowering.

+**Consumes:** ast::TraitDecl (T1) · ast::Enum.embeds: Vec<String> (T1)
+**Produces:** plum_core::traits::lowerTraits(source: &mut Source) -> Vec<String> · plum_core::traits::getter(field: &str) -> String · plum_core::traits::setter(field: &str) -> String · ast::Source.traits: Vec<ast::TraitDecl>
+  e.g. getter("pos") -> "__get_pos"; setter("pos") -> "__set_pos"
+  e.g. lowerTraits on `trait E(z: Int) = fun up(self)` + `record H(E, k: Int) = fun up(self) = ()` -> [] errors; items gain `enum E = | H` with isTrait true; H fields become [z, k]; H gains `__get_z(self) -> Int`, `__set_z(self, v: Int)`; no Item::Trait left; source.traits holds E.
+  e.g. record H(E) without `up` -> ["record H embeds E but does not define required method up"]
+**Review Focus:** state: idempotent (second call is a no-op, like resolveMembers); errors at the record, never at a copy: `missing_required` (above), `field_clash` (`trait A(x: Int)`, `trait B(x: Int)`, `record R(A, B)` -> "record R gets field x from both A and B"; own field same name -> "record R field x is already declared by trait A"), `default_clash` (A and B both default `f`, R does not define `f` -> "record R gets default method f from both A and B; define R.f"), `embed_not_trait` (`record R(Vec2)` -> "R embeds Vec2, which is not a trait"), `struct_embed` (`struct S(E, x: Int)` -> "struct S cannot embed trait E; only records embed traits"); `self_recursive_field`: `trait A(children: List[A])` copies the field as `List[A]`; a record that defines a default method itself keeps its own; a trait with no embedders still lowers to an empty union enum.
+**Test code:** named tests for every e.g. and Review Focus case, asserting exact strings; `loader_runs_lowerTraits` (a two-file program via loader with the trait in one module and the record in the other lowers).
+**Steps:** 1 failing tests, 2 FAIL, 3 implement; call from loader immediately before `resolveMembers`, 4 PASS.
+**Notes:** copied defaults are deep clones with `type_param = Some(record)`; insert the union enum where the trait item was; accessor Fns carry the record's file and the trait's line.

+  e.g. traitMethods("Entity") -> ["update", "draw", "moveBy"] (required then defaults, declaration order)
+**Review Focus:** `only_trait_methods`: `e.onClick()` on `e: Entity` where House defines onClick -> "trait Entity has no method onClick"; `match_trait_needs_wildcard`: `match e | House(k) -> 1` -> "match on trait Entity needs a `_` case"; with `_` it narrows and binds House's fields; plain union enums keep exhaustive matches and shared-method dispatch (regression); a record also listed in a union enum converts to the expected type only (no double wrap).
+**Test code:** named tests for each Review Focus case plus `trait_param_accepts_record` (`fun f(e: Entity)` called with `House(...)` type-checks), `default_self_call_checks` (default `moveBy` calling `self.draw()` checks in each record). Tests call `lowerTraits` then `resolveMembers` after parse; parse helper asserts no syntax error.
+**Steps:** 1 failing tests, 2 FAIL, 3 implement (CheckCtx learns trait names from `Enum.isTrait`; at field-access and field-assignment sites on a trait type, call `unions::traitField`), 4 PASS.

+  e.g. traitField(TNamed("Shape"), "radius", a, false, ctx) -> None (not a trait)
+**Review Focus:** `nested_write_rejected`: `e.pos.x = 1.0` on a struct-typed trait field -> "assign the whole field: e.pos = ..."; `write_then_read`: after `e.pos = p` both `e.pos` and the House value see p; UnionPlan gains `fieldReads`/`fieldWrites`, `union_lower` rewrites `Attribute(e, f)` to `e.__get_f()` and `Assign([Field(e,f)], [v])` to `e.__set_f(v)` with the dispatch synthesized like method dispatch; compound assign (`e.z += 1`) lowers to `__set_z(__get_z() + 1)`.

+**Review Focus:** `subtyped_field_read_direct` (a field read on an Actor value compiles to one `struct.get` on the trait base type, no call); `conversion_is_identity` (pushing a record into List[Actor] allocates nothing; `a == b` on the same record converted twice is True); `second_trait_stays_boxed` (a record's second embedded trait keeps the box and still works); all traits_e2e, Scene and examples tests green; BENCHMARK.md stress_world within 10% of the closure version.
+**Test code:** the three named tests plus re-running T6's six e2e tests.
+**Steps:** a trait is subtyped iff every embedder lists it FIRST; emit a non-final base struct type with its fields in declaration order; each embedder's struct type declares it as supertype (lowering already puts trait fields first); trait value = ref to base; wrap = no-op upcast; trait field read/write = struct.get/set on base (skip accessor dispatch); hidden-variant match/narrowing = ref.test/ref.cast on the record type; method dispatch = cast chain (or a kind tag + br_table). Others keep the union box.
+**Notes:** triggered by T9's benchmark (+92% on stress_world from accessor dispatch in the y-sort); approved by the review plan's "more than 10% slower" rule.
+## Review Focus
+- Package A (parser): deep (nesting traits in bodies), encoding (grammar ambiguity: bare name vs `name: Type`).
+- Package B (compiler pass): state (idempotent lowering, plan addresses after rewrite), deep (recursive trait field), protocol (union rules must not leak into traits and back).
+- Package C (integration): state (writes through trait visible on record), numeric (benchmark threshold 10%).
+## Self-review
+Coverage: every review-plan bullet maps to T1-T9. Edges are execution dependencies only; T4 and T5 share no file (T4 owns checker lib.rs, T5 checker unions.rs). README: T8 then T9 (edge).
