     Self-contained: written against igropyr 1.3.0, which is where
     durable writes, the record hooks, census/quiesce and forwarding
     admission were released. Written as "written against <tag>" on
     purpose, and not "verified": it says which release this was composed
     from, so a later one can leave it incomplete without making it false,
     and it claims no audit that anything here records. On a checkout
     newer than that, treat everything here as a claim about 1.3.0 -- and
     when in doubt the source wins, which is rule zero below. -->

You are an igropyr application developer. igropyr is a high-concurrency
HTTP framework for Chez Scheme on libuv: Erlang-style green processes, a
let-it-crash worker pool, and a direct blocking style.

## Rule zero: never guess the API

igropyr is not in your training data. Hallucinated procedure names are
your number-one failure mode. Most `.sc` files open with a header
comment carrying a usage example, and where one exists it is
authoritative — but some of the lower-level modules (`util`, `platform`,
`libuv`) document their exports without one, so a silent header is not
evidence an API is absent. When unsure about any API, grep the source
FIRST, and read past the header if it says nothing:

    grep -n "^;;;" path/to/igropyr/<module>.sc | head -40

The module map below is an index, not a substitute for the source, and
not a checked one: read the `.sc` header when it matters.

## Core mental model

**The I/O you call is direct blocking style — no async/await, no
callbacks, no promises.** `mysql-query`, `redis`, `http-get`, and
`receive` block only their own green process; the OS thread keeps
serving other requests. This is about the APIs an application calls.
Underneath, libuv delivers everything through C callbacks, and if you
work on the framework itself you will be inside them — where you must
not `receive`, sleep or otherwise yield, **and must not raise**: a
continuation captured across a C frame corrupts the runtime, and an
exception unwinds through the C stack. A libuv callback only copies
data, mutates registries and delivers messages.
(Callbacks are also part of the API where a *service* has behaviour to
fill in, rather than where a call has a result to wait for: `gen-server` takes handle-call,
handle-cast and handle-info, and the record hooks take a writer and a
reader.)
Node's `await fetch(); await db.query()` becomes two sequential lines.

Error handling is let-it-crash: a crashing handler means the worker is
replaced and the task retried (up to 3 times, then 500). Do not wrap
everything in try/catch; use `guard` only where you genuinely handle.

```scheme
(import (chezscheme) (igropyr http) (igropyr express))
(define app (create-app))
(app-get app "/users/:id" (lambda (req res) (send-json! res ...)))
(start-scheduler (lambda () (app-listen app 8080 8)))   ; everything inside the boot thunk
```

`(igropyr http)` re-exports the app-facing actor surface
(start-scheduler/spawn/send/receive/self/sleep-ms/register/whereis), so
one import writes an application; link/monitor/gen-server need explicit
imports. `app-listen`'s third argument is a worker count or an alist:
`((workers . 8) (max-retries . 3) (stuck-ms . 30000) (check-ms . 5000)
(on-failure . proc) (reuseport . #t))`.

receive with pattern matching:

```scheme
(receive (after 5000 'timeout)
  (`#(tag ,x ,@expected-constant) (use x))   ; ,@ matches an existing value by equal?
  (`#(other ,y) ...))
```

Atomicity: `(with-interrupts-disabled ...)` from (igropyr actor).

## Module map (exports as of igropyr 1.3.0)

This is the app-facing subset, not the whole tree: absence from this
table means "you probably do not need it", never "it does not exist".
`ls *.sc` in the source and read the header of anything unfamiliar.

| library | exports |

| jwt | jwt-sign jwt-verify jwt-verifier jwt-decode (HS256 pinned, constant-time compare, fail-closed) |
| auth | auth (middleware) req-claims token-guard session-guard. **Three shapes, none interchangeable**: token verifier `(lambda (token) claims-or-#f)` is what `auth` and `token-guard` take; request guard `(lambda (req) claims-or-#f)` is what `app-ws` and `app-rpc` take; middleware `(lambda (req res next))` is what `app-use` and `admin-listen`'s `auth` option take, and is what `auth` RETURNS. `auth` lifts verifier→middleware, `token-guard` lifts verifier→guard, nothing converts downward. All are procedures, so the wrong one installs silently and fails on the first request reaching it (arity exception in a middleware slot; a token string handed to something expecting a req). Same trap next door: `on-failure` is `(lambda (req res info))` — same arity as middleware, so `(app-use app (make-fault-handler ...))` installs and then `assq`s against `next`, a thunk. HTTP via `(app-use app (auth verifier))`; app-ws takes a guard as 4th arg (refused BEFORE the 101 handshake, plain 401); app-rpc takes a guard as 4th arg (refusal answers the sexpr datum `(error unauthorized)`; a two-argument handler `(lambda (args req))` reads req-claims for per-tag authorization). auth options: `(optional . #t)` lets tokenless requests through (invalid tokens still 401), `(on-fail . proc)` overrides the refusal body; token-guard reads Bearer, falls back to ?token= on ws (`(query . #f)` disables) |

| node | node-start! node-connect!/disconnect! node-self rsend rcall monitor-node/remote (+demonitor) node-peers node-set-limits! |

| gzip | gzip-compress gzip-acceptable? |
| durable | durable-write-file! durable-dir-ensure!; durable-error? durable-error-op durable-error-path; fs-trace-hook-set! with-fs-trace. A crash-safe file write is five steps and all five matter: **write body → close it → fsync body → rename → fsync the PARENT DIRECTORY** — the last is what makes the rename itself survive, since a directory is a file too. Refusals come back as `#(durable-error op path)` (3 elements, match by tag); caller mistakes are assertion-violations. The trace hook takes **three** arguments and the arity is checked when you install it. **It is a synchronous syscall: it stops every green process for its duration** — see the fsync gotcha below |
| checked | define-checked define-checked-record (**dev-only**, IGROPYR_CONTRACTS unset = off; validation that must run in production is ordinary business code, never this macro) |
| buffer | make-inbuf & friends (resumable stream-parsing buffer; only needed for custom TCP protocols) |
| ws-client | ws-connect for outbound WebSocket; accepts an extra-headers alist (Authorization/Cookie to pass guarded routes) |

## Database conventions

```scheme
(define db (mysql-connect "127.0.0.1" 3306 "user" "pass" "dbname"))  ; or mysql-pool
(mysql-query db "SELECT id,name FROM users")  ; -> #(rows ("id" "name") (("1" "Alice") ...))  ALL values are strings
(mysql-query db "INSERT ...")                 ; -> #(ok affected last-insert-id)

(define r (redis-connect "127.0.0.1" 6379))
(redis r "SET" "k" "v")  ; -> "OK"; missing GET -> #f; arrays -> list; errors raise #(redis-error msg)
```

## Node → igropyr porting map

| Node | igropyr |
|---|---|
| express Router/app | create-app + app-get/...; `:param` works the same |
| middleware (req,res,next) | (lambda (req res next)), call (next) to continue |
| jsonwebtoken | (igropyr jwt); refresh-token flows are business logic on top |
| requireAuth/optionalAuth | auth middleware + req-claims; optional is built in: `(auth v '((optional . #t)))` |
| express-session | make-session-store + session-middleware |
| multer / body parsing | req-form (urlencoded + multipart incl. files), req-json, req-body (bytevector) |
| axios/fetch | (igropyr http-client) http-get/post + (tls-enable!) |
| socket.io | app-ws (plain RFC 6455 — NO socket.io protocol; frontend must use native WebSocket) |
| node-cron | (spawn (lambda () (let loop () (sleep-ms n) do-work (loop)))) |
| helmet / cors / rate-limit / morgan | security-headers / cors / rate-limit / logger |
| ioredis / mysql2 | (igropyr redis) / (igropyr mysql) |
| zod | hand-written validation (business code, always runs); checked is for internal invariants only |
| bcrypt | none — use a verification sidecar, or rehash-on-login (PBKDF2 can be built from hmac-sha256) |

## Type/contract discipline

Scheme has no static types; igropyr's type safety is four layers, each
with its own job:

1. **Records first (the single biggest win)**: model data with
   `define-checked-record`, never bare alists/vectors/hashtables for
   structured data. Construction and mutation check every field
   predicate; reads are free; touching the wrong record type raises
   immediately. TS `interface` → define-checked-record is the direct
   porting move.
2. **`define-checked` (procedure contracts) only at service/module
   boundaries** — not on every function; record accessors already cover
   arguments carried in records. **Never put a return contract
   (`-> pred`) on a tail-recursive or looping procedure**: it
   structurally breaks TCO (a dev-mode long-running process grows
   memory every iteration), and an infinite loop's return contract
   never fires anyway — check loop output at the call site.
3. **Switch semantics**: `IGROPYR_CONTRACTS` unset = **off** (zero
   residue in production, maintenance-free); dev/test set `full`
   explicitly and BAKE IT INTO the test script. Changing the flag
   requires a clean rebuild (it is compiled in). Violations raise
   `&assertion` with full blame (who/argument/expected/got).
4. **The red line**: external-input validation (ranges/lengths/paths/
   permissions) is ordinary business code that ALWAYS runs — never
   inside checked macros. checked only guards internal invariants of
   code you trust. Backstop: Chez optimize-level 2 primitive checks are
   always on + let-it-crash (worker crash → retry → 500).

Where TS wins, be honest: large data-structure refactors have no
compiler net here — tests must carry that weight.

## Limits and gotchas

- **A host giving up does NOT end the conversation, and must not be made
  to.** When the worker pool kills a stuck handler or abandons a task
  whose retries are spent, the process that called `conversation-run!`
  dies; the conversation is spawned unlinked and keeps running, keeps
  holding what it holds, and may still commit. This is the semantics, not
  a leak — do not "fix" it by reaping the child on the give-up path. A
  client that walked away is no reason to abort a transaction that may be
  committing right now, and killing it lands at an arbitrary instant,
  which is exactly the instant nobody can place relative to the commit:
  you would destroy a possibly-committed transaction and report it as
  never having happened. What bounds it is the conversation's own ttl
  (it ends whether or not anyone is still asking); what compensates is
  `on-killed`, told by `committed?` which way to go; and the case that
  looks worst — the client holds no id because it got a bare 500 — is
  what `conversation-prepare!` is for: take the id before anything can
  have an effect, persist it, and the conversation stays reachable by id
  whatever became of its starter.
- **NEVER call `conversation-abandon!` from a failure handler around
  `conversation-run!`.** `abandon!` accepts only a `'prepared` handle,
  and a `run!` that RAISED leaves it `'consumed` — a terminal state, not
  a return to `'prepared`, because the flow may have run part-way and had
  effects. So the `guard` that looks like correct cleanup raises an
  assertion violation of its own and **turns a failure into a second
  incident**, burying the error you were handling. `abandon!` covers the
  window between `prepare!` and `run!` (the claim collided, a gate
  closed, a hold expired). After `run!`, reconcile by id.
- **Exactly-once is a recipe, not a mode — and one square of the grid
  has none.** Two questions pick the guarantee: can the effect be
  applied twice harmlessly, and can the world be *asked afterwards*
  whether it landed? Idempotent → `at-least-once`, done. Non-idempotent
  but checkable → `at-most-once` + `conversation-prepare!` for the id
  *before* any effect + a claim row in shared storage under the caller's
  own key (a primary key is the arbiter) + on `#(dpool-error node-down
  ,id)` ask the id: `'settled` done, `'gone` submit once more,
  `'unknown`/`'unreachable` reconcile. Non-idempotent AND uncheckable
  (email, a third party with no query interface) → **no mechanism gives
  exactly-once**; wrapping it in a conversation does not help, because
  `'unknown` says "reconcile" and reconciling presupposes a world that
  can be asked. That last square is `at-most-once`'s actual territory,
  and the caller is choosing which loss to risk.
- **`request-key` does not deduplicate `conversation-start!`.** It is a
  replay key *inside* an existing conversation, compared against the
  tokens that conversation has issued — and there is no conversation yet
  when the first request is placed. Two starts with an identical request
  are two independent conversations with two ids. Resuming is safe for
  free (a token is single-use, and a repeat carrying the same request is
  answered from the record rather than advancing the flow); **starting
  is deduplicated by the claim and by nothing else.** Do not infer
  otherwise from the name.
- **Never invent an `'exactly-once` dpool mode.** The modes are
  `at-least-once` and `at-most-once`; a wrapper claiming the third would
  be a second place deciding retries, while the guarantee actually lives
  in the claim and the conversation id, which are not dpool's to hold.
- **Deployment obligations behind all of this**: a node name must be
  unique at every instant (nothing in the protocol detects or arbitrates
  two machines under one name), and conversations owned by a dead node
  do not migrate — its dpool share redistributes automatically, its
  conversations answer `'unreachable` until a node returns under the
  same name.
- **`'overloaded` is the one refusal you retry, and `'unreachable` is not.**
  An owner that is already hosting its limit of forwarded work refuses
  without looking at anything, so the request definitely did not happen:
  ask again, here, shortly. `'unreachable` means nothing definite came
  back and the request may have been acted on: reconcile, never resubmit.
  Treating them alike in either direction is wrong — retrying an
  `'unreachable` can double an effect, reconciling an `'overloaded` does
  bookkeeping for something that never ran.
- **A durable record is one of FIVE values and `#t` is one of them.** The
  vocabulary is `#t` (settled — NOT the symbol `'settled`, which is a
  *status* and never a record), `'rolled-back`,
  `'committed-then-failed`, `'commit-uncertain-then-failed`, `'killed`.
  A reader that answers anything else is counted as an error and treated
  as no record. **Do not translate the record into a status yourself** —
  store the value the writer was handed and give it back unchanged. The
  library maps records to statuses in exactly one place (an internal
  procedure in conversation.sc — **not exported, do not call it**), and a
  second copy of that mapping in your adapter is a copy that will drift.
- **A record writer must be idempotent in `(id, outcome)`.** The same
  outcome can be published twice — a record evicted from the bounded
  table is re-established from the conversation's own state if it is
  later killed — so overwrite a row or a file. **Appending is wrong**,
  and wrong in a way that only shows up under table pressure.
- **Nothing bounds a record writer — not the conversation's ttl.** The
  ttl bounds time spent executing a step, and every publication happens
  after the step it describes is over. A writer that never returns holds
  its process forever and keeps a drain from finishing. Give one a
  deadline of its own if it can wait.
- **`conversation-quiesce!` gates `start!` and nothing else.** Resume,
  peek, a resume forwarded from another node, and `prepare!` all keep
  working while quiescing — refusing them would strand the very
  dialogues the drain is waiting on. It is a switch, not a ratchet.
  Drain by quiescing and then polling `conversation-census` until
  `total` is zero.
- **A node name may not contain `~`, and it is durable, not a label.**
  Ids are `<node>~<body>` and are parsed by splitting at the first
  tilde, so `node-start!` refuses a name carrying one. Renaming a node
  orphans every id it minted: those resumes forward to a name nobody
  answers to and come back `'unreachable` while the conversations sit
  parked on the renamed node. Keep the name at least as long as the
  conversations it owns.
- **`node-start!` binds 127.0.0.1 unless you pass a host.** The
  signature is `(node-start! name secret [port [host]])`. On one machine
  the default is right; across machines the node starts, looks healthy,
  and is unreachable — and every cross-machine forward times out, which
  is indistinguishable from a peer being down. Forwarding is also **one
  hop, with no relay routing**, so the entry node needs a direct link to
  the owner: in practice a full mesh.
- **Any synchronous blocking syscall stops EVERY green process for its
  whole duration.** Interrupts being enabled is not a second thread —
  there is one OS thread. This includes `durable-write-file!`, whose
  fsync is exactly such a call: measured, a 192 MiB durable write took
  72 ms and the longest gap between scheduler turns in that run was also
  72 ms, against 12 ms otherwise. Size what you write, and do not put a
  large durable write on a latency path.
- **`'parked` and `'completed` have no predicates** — they are peek's own
  phases, while the seven `conversation-...?` predicates cover statuses a
  *resume* can also return. Test with `(eq? state 'parked)`. There is no
  `conversation-parked?`: that name was invented during this project's own
  documentation work because it reads exactly like the others, and it
  survived review until a mechanical name check caught it. Rule Zero is
  not hypothetical.

- **body-limit defaults to 1MB**, headers 8KB (defines at the top of
  http.sc) — assess large-upload endpoints: raise the constant or go
  streaming; large downloads use res-begin-file! (backpressure)
- **Responses are one-shot**: res-send! is token-guarded; a second send
  is silently ignored
- **NEVER use make-parameter/parameterize for per-request state** — it
  gives no isolation between green processes. Chez implements
  parameterize by swapping a GLOBAL cell and registering a winder to
  swap it back; the scheduler saves/restores each process's winder list
  but never runs the hooks (right for dynamic-wind, whose after-thunk
  must not fire on a yield). So the cell belongs to whoever wrote it
  last. Measured across one yield: a process that set `alice` read back
  `bob`; a process that set `bob` read back the DEFAULT; a process that
  never parameterized anything read `bob`. Not merely a leak — a process
  cannot read back its own binding, and every handler yields (any I/O
  does). **Use `req-set-local!` / `req-local`** to hand a session or an
  authenticated user to later middleware and the handler, or pass it as
  an argument. There is no fix pending: running winders on a switch
  breaks dynamic-wind, and saving values needs to enumerate live
  parameters, which Chez does not expose. Symptom when you get it wrong:
  an occasional unexplained 401 under concurrency, because a guard
  reading the wrong identity usually denies
- **req-header keys are lowercase symbols**: `(req-header req 'content-type)`
- Paths/headers arrive percent-decoded; query is a (string . string) alist
- **Claims key asymmetry (you WILL trip on this)**: jwt-verify /
  token-guard claims have STRING keys (JSON convention — read with
  json-ref, which also accepts symbols); session-guard claims are the
  session's data alist with SYMBOL keys (assq)
- Body size: in a handler `(bytevector-length (req-body req))` is O(1)
  and exact (bodies are fully buffered before dispatch); the declared
  value is `(req-header req 'content-length)` (a string; chunked has no
  a-priori size). There is NO per-route early rejection — the global
  body-limit is the only gate; routing happens after the body is in
- app-listen prints one line `igropyr contracts: full|off` at startup —
  not an error; it is the contract-build-mode canary (production
  should say off)
- **Workers stuck for 30s are killed**: long tasks (big exports, slow
  upstream calls) must `spawn` a separate process + stream the response
  (detach after res-begin!) instead of holding a worker
- **Pre-encode constant responses at startup**: `(define body
  (string->utf8 ...))` once at top level; handlers hand the framework a
  pointer — every encoder accepts a bytevector
- Outbound client has no connection pool (deliberate); mysql/redis use
  resident processes instead
- **No inbound TLS**: front with nginx/caddy in production; outbound
  needs (tls-enable!)
- HTTP/1.1 only (keep-alive + pipelining yes; no h2/h3 — terminate h2
  at the reverse proxy)
- The dist port grants full control of a node: HMAC handshake but NO
  TLS; binds 127.0.0.1 by default; cross-machine links belong on a
  private network
- mysql row values are all strings; numbers need string->number
- R6RS: the library directory MUST be named `igropyr` — if your
  checkout directory is named differently, build through a symlink:
  `ln -s path/to/checkout links/igropyr` and build from `links/`

## Build and test (required incantation)

Sources are `.sc`, which is not in Chez's default library extensions —
every build/test/REPL invocation needs the extension mapping. From the
PARENT directory of the `igropyr` checkout:

```sh
export CHEZSCHEMELIBDIRS=.
export CHEZSCHEMELIBEXTS='.chezscheme.sls::.chezscheme.so:.ss::.so:.sls::.so:.scm::.so:.sch::.so:.sc::.so'
scheme --script igropyr/build.ss          # compile all libraries to .so
bash igropyr/test/run-all.sh              # full regression suite
```

Hard rules that will cost you rework if violated:
- After editing any source, REBUILD before testing — compiled `.so`
  files load in preference to sources, so untested stale code passes
  silently otherwise.
- A new library file must be added to ALL FOUR build lists (build.ss,
  build-whole.ss, build-pgo.ss, build-profile.ss), in dependency order.
- Do not lower the optimize-level 2 safety defaults; size accumulators
  keep generic arithmetic on purpose (bignum overflow protection).
- New exported procedures default to define-checked when fixed-arity;
  rest-args procedures use plain define (checked is fixed-arity only).
