# TypeScript / JavaScript LSP Hybrid Integration Plan

**Status:** Implemented through v2 + extensive 95%-push work. Ships **291 ts_lsp tests**
plus the previously-existing 49 go_lsp + 737 c_lsp suites, **3104 total tests, 0 failures,
ASan + UBSan clean**.

Capabilities span the full TS surface a tree-sitter LSP hybrid can reach without crossing
into compiler-rewrite territory:

- **Cross-file resolution** via `cbm_run_ts_lsp_cross` (4 cross-file tests; pipeline
  wiring documented in `docs/CROSS_FILE_ARCHITECTURE.md` as task #6 follow-up)
- **Hash-table indexed registry** — FNV-1a, O(1) lookups via `cbm_registry_finalize`
- **Partial structural relater** — ~500 LOC subtyping for NAMED/BUILTIN/LITERAL/TUPLE/
  UNION/INTERSECTION/FUNC/TEMPLATE/TYPE_PARAM/ALIAS, pair-cache, depth guard
- **Conditional types** `T extends U ? X : Y` with union distribution
- **`infer X` constraint solver** — pattern-matching with binding capture & substitution
- **Real flow-sensitive narrowing** — instanceof / typeof / discriminated unions in
  if/else AND switch; type predicates; non-null assertion `!`; optional chaining
- **TS utility type passthrough** — Partial/Readonly/Required/NonNullable/Pick/Omit/
  Awaited/ReturnType/Exclude/Extract (via `unwrap_passthrough_template`)
- **`keyof T` / `typeof X` / `T[K]`** type-position parsing
- **Polymorphic `this` return type** — fluent builder chains
- **Function overload resolution by arg types** — `cbm_registry_lookup_method_by_types`
- **Async iterables** — Iterator / Iterable / AsyncIterator / AsyncIterable / Generator /
  AsyncGenerator stdlib + `for await ... of`
- **DOM stdlib** — Element, HTMLElement, Document, Window, Node, EventTarget, Event,
  Response (curated subset; full lib.dom.d.ts deferred to stdlib generator task)
- **Comprehensive base stdlib** — Array, Promise, Map, Set, String, Number, Boolean, Date,
  RegExp, Error, Math, console, JSON, Object — full method surface
- **Contextual callback typing** — `arr.map(x => x.length)`, user-defined HOFs
- **JSDoc inference** for plain JS — `@param`, `@returns`
- **JSX/TSX** — component dispatch + intrinsic skip
- **AST-based signature rebuild** — bypasses lossy text-based extraction
- **Local types shadow stdlib** per TS spec
- **4 LSP-vs-baseline comparison tests** proving empirical lift over plain tree-sitter
- **9 stress tests** — 50 classes, 30-deep inheritance, 25-link chains, 5000-line files,
  100-deep recursion, random garbage, 500 empty classes
- **12+ real-world library patterns** — React (Context/useState/useEffect/useCallback/
  useReducer), Express middleware, Apollo / Axios / Prisma / Mongoose / TypeORM, Zod,
  Lit, Vitest, Jest mock, RxJS observable, XState-like state machine
- **8 final edge-case tests** — truthy narrowing, method override, type-only imports,
  satisfies, `in` operator narrowing, optional property chains, void methods, nested
  class field resolution

See §18 for full delivered scope and the iteration history (46 build-runner cycles total).

**Branch:** `typescript-lsp-integration`
**Author:** plan generated from analysis of existing `internal/cbm/lsp/{go_lsp,c_lsp}.{c,h}` plus
the TDD pattern in `tests/test_{go,c}_lsp.c`.

> (challenger findings + corrections) → §10 (revised phase order) → §9.1 (revised v1 test
> scope).

## 1. Goal & scope

Reproduce, for TypeScript/JavaScript, the same kind of "hybrid LSP" type resolver we built
for Go (`go_lsp.c`) and for C/C++ (`c_lsp.c`):

- Tree-sitter parses the file (already done by the existing pipeline).
- A C-side resolver walks the AST, runs type inference informed by an in-memory
  symbol/type registry, and emits **resolved call edges** (`caller_qn → callee_qn`).
- The resolver is built **TDD-first**: a large category-organized test suite drives the
  implementation, and each test pins down a concrete language feature.
- Upstream LSP source code (`microsoft/typescript-go`) is **vendored as reference only**, not
  linked or shipped. The C resolver is a clean-room reimplementation of the *behavior* needed
  for call resolution — it is not the type checker.

Primary target: **TypeScript + JavaScript + JSX + TSX**, in one resolver.
Stretch: **Dart** (separate resolver, shares infrastructure).
Out of scope for now: CSS/HTML — see §13.

---

## 2. Reference: existing Go / C / C++ pattern

Concrete artifacts already in tree (counted on `main`):

| Artifact | LOC | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `internal/cbm/lsp/go_lsp.h` | 124 | Public API (entry points + cross-file struct) |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/go_lsp.c` | 2 744 | Single-file + cross-file + batch resolver |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/c_lsp.h` | 146 | Public API; **dual-mode (C/C++) via `cpp_mode` flag** |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/c_lsp.c` | 4 767 | Resolver, namespaces, templates, ADL, overloads |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/scope.{c,h}` | ~78 | Lexical scope w/ parent chain |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/type_rep.{c,h}` | ~400 | Tagged-union `CBMType` (15 kinds) |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/type_registry.{c,h}` | ~410 | Cross-file func/type registry |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/generated/go_stdlib_data.c` | ~972 KB | Generated Go stdlib types/funcs |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/generated/cpp_stdlib_data.c` | 51 KB | Hand-written C++ stdlib seeds |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/generated/c_stdlib_data.c` | 4.9 KB | Hand-written C stdlib seeds |
| `tests/test_go_lsp.c` | 1 189 / **49 tests** | 8 categories incl. 7 cross-file |
| `tests/test_c_lsp.c` | 15 816 / **737 tests** | C, C++ basics, templates, ADL, probes, "easy wins", DLL |

**Three integration entry points** — already wired into `internal/cbm/cbm.c`:

```c
// Single-file (called from cbm_extract_file after defs+imports extracted)
void cbm_run_go_lsp(arena, result, source, source_len, root);
void cbm_run_c_lsp(arena, result, source, source_len, root, cpp_mode);

// Cross-file (re-parse, register external defs, resolve)
void cbm_run_go_lsp_cross(...);
void cbm_run_c_lsp_cross(...);

// Batch cross-file (all files of a project in one CGo call)
void cbm_batch_go_lsp_cross(arena, files, file_count, out);
void cbm_batch_c_lsp_cross(arena, files, file_count, out);
```

All `.c` files are stitched together by `internal/cbm/lsp_all.c` so CGo only sees one
compilation unit per language family.

**Key insight from c_lsp.c:** one resolver handles two related dialects (C and C++) with a
boolean mode flag. We will do the same for TS / JS / JSX / TSX.

---

## 3. Decision: one resolver for TS+JS+JSX+TSX

| Dialect | tree-sitter grammar | Existing CBM_LANG_* | Mode flags inside `ts_lsp` |
|---|---|---|---|
| `.ts` | `tree-sitter-typescript` | `CBM_LANG_TYPESCRIPT` | `js_mode=false`, `jsx_mode=false` |
| `.tsx` | `tree-sitter-tsx` | `CBM_LANG_TSX` | `js_mode=false`, `jsx_mode=true` |
| `.js`, `.mjs`, `.cjs` | `tree-sitter-javascript` | `CBM_LANG_JAVASCRIPT` | `js_mode=true`, `jsx_mode=false` |
| `.jsx` | `tree-sitter-javascript` | `CBM_LANG_JAVASCRIPT` | `js_mode=true`, `jsx_mode=true` |
| `.d.ts` | `tree-sitter-typescript` | `CBM_LANG_TYPESCRIPT` | `dts_mode=true` (no bodies, only declarations) |

Justification, not assumption:
1. **Microsoft tsserver is the same compiler for both** — the .ts and .js paths share parsing, binding, and the type checker; JS just has fewer annotations and uses JSDoc inference.
2. The tree-sitter grammars are aligned: tsx is ts+JSX, jsx is js+JSX. AST node names overlap.
3. Our existing extractors (`extract_calls.c`, `extract_defs.c`, `extract_imports.c`) already
   branch on `CBM_LANG_TSX || CBM_LANG_JAVASCRIPT` and treat them together. The LSP layer
   should match.

Three mode flags inside `TSLSPContext`:
- `js_mode` — accept missing annotations; consult JSDoc; treat all params as `unknown` if no JSDoc.
- `jsx_mode` — recognise JSX expressions; resolve component types; map intrinsic elements.
- `dts_mode` — `.d.ts` declaration files (no function bodies; populate registry only).

## 4. Upstream sources (vendored for reading, NOT linked)

| Source | License | Purpose | Vendor location |
|---|---|---|---|
| `microsoft/typescript-go` | Apache-2.0 | **Primary reference** — clean Go reimplementation of tsc; readable; same algorithm as TS 6.0/7.0 | `/tmp/lsp-research/typescript-go` (cloned) → optionally checked-in subset under `docs/lsp-references/typescript-go-subset/` |
| `microsoft/TypeScript` (src/compiler) | Apache-2.0 | Cross-check on tricky semantics (e.g. declaration merging) | reference only — fetched on demand |
| `microsoft/vscode-css-languageservice` | MIT | If/when CSS gets graphed | not vendored now |
| `microsoft/vscode-html-languageservice` | MIT | If/when HTML gets graphed | not vendored now |
| `dart-lang/sdk` (pkg/analyzer, pkg/analysis_server) | BSD-3-Clause | Reference for the Dart stretch | not vendored now |

**Key files in typescript-go to read** (sized, real LOC):

| File | LOC | What we learn |
|---|---|---|
| `internal/checker/types.go` | 1 389 | Type representation, flags, intrinsics |
| `internal/checker/checker.go` | ~ huge (~30 K) | Main entry; we only mine pieces |
| `internal/checker/inference.go` | ? | Generic inference (the hard part) |
| `internal/checker/relater.go` | 4 978 | Subtyping / assignability — drives overload resolution |
| `internal/checker/jsdoc.go` | ? | JSDoc-driven inference for `.js` |
| `internal/checker/jsx.go` | ? | JSX element typing |
| `internal/checker/flow.go` | ? | Control-flow narrowing (`if (typeof x === "string") …`) |
| `internal/binder/binder.go` | 2 805 | Scope + symbol binding model |
| `internal/parser/parser.go` | ? | Parse tree shapes (we only consume tree-sitter, but need the names) |
| `internal/module/*` | ? | Module resolution (`tsconfig.json paths`, `node_modules`, `package.json exports`) |

**No code from upstream is linked or shipped.** Apache-2.0 attribution lands in
`THIRD_PARTY.md` if any algorithm port is direct enough to warrant it.

## 5. Type representation extensions

The current `CBMTypeKind` covers Go and C++ but is missing TS-specific kinds. Additions:

```c
// Existing (keep): UNKNOWN, NAMED, POINTER, SLICE, MAP, CHANNEL, FUNC, INTERFACE,
//                  STRUCT, BUILTIN, TUPLE, TYPE_PARAM, REFERENCE, RVALUE_REF, TEMPLATE, ALIAS
// New for TS:
CBM_TYPE_UNION,         // A | B | C
CBM_TYPE_INTERSECTION,  // A & B
CBM_TYPE_LITERAL,       // "foo" / 42 / true literal types
CBM_TYPE_INDEXED,       // T[K]
CBM_TYPE_KEYOF,         // keyof T
CBM_TYPE_TYPEOF_QUERY,  // typeof x in type position
CBM_TYPE_CONDITIONAL,   // T extends U ? X : Y
CBM_TYPE_MAPPED,        // {[K in keyof T]: ...}  (v2; stub returns UNKNOWN in v1)
CBM_TYPE_INFER,         // `infer X` placeholder inside conditional
CBM_TYPE_OBJECT_LIT,    // { a: T1; b: T2 } — distinct from STRUCT (no name)
```

Most v1 inference can succeed by **simplifying** these aggressively:
- `A | B` where one branch is the call target → still emit the call against both (one match wins).
- `A & B` → property lookup tries both members.
- `T[K]` where K is a literal → resolve to that property type.
- `keyof T` → BUILTIN("string") fallback if shape unknown.
- Conditional / mapped types → fall back to UNKNOWN if not trivially resolvable.

The `TUPLE` kind already exists for Go multi-return; reuse it for TS tuple types `[T, U]`
(arity is the same).

`STRUCT` and `INTERFACE` need a small extension for **call signatures and index signatures**
(TS objects can be callable: `interface F { (x: number): string }`). Add fields on
`CBMRegisteredType`:
```c
const CBMType*  call_signature;    // FUNC type, or NULL
const CBMType*  index_signature;   // value type when used with string/number index
const char**    type_param_constraints; // parallel to type_param_names
```

`type_registry` gets two new lookup helpers:
```c
const CBMRegisteredFunc* cbm_registry_lookup_callable(const CBMTypeRegistry*,
    const char* type_qn);                     // for `f()` where f: SomeCallable
const CBMRegisteredFunc* cbm_registry_lookup_index_signature_call(const CBMTypeRegistry*,
    const char* type_qn, const CBMType* key);
```

---

## 6. `ts_lsp.h` — public API

Mirrors `go_lsp.h` shape exactly. Reuses `CBMLSPDef` from `go_lsp.h` (already shared by C/C++).

```c
typedef struct {
    CBMArena* arena;
    const char* source;
    int source_len;
    const CBMTypeRegistry* registry;
    CBMScope* current_scope;

    // Imports: local_name -> module specifier (resolved to QN if possible)
    const char** import_local_names;
    const char** import_module_qns;
    int import_count;

    // Module / package context
    const char* module_qn;       // QN of this file's module
    const char* enclosing_func_qn;
    const char* enclosing_class_qn;

    // Output
    CBMResolvedCallArray* resolved_calls;

    // Type-parameter scope (current generic function/class)
    const char** type_param_names;
    const CBMType** type_param_constraints;
    int type_param_count;

    // Mode flags
    bool js_mode;     // .js / .jsx
    bool jsx_mode;    // .jsx / .tsx
    bool dts_mode;    // .d.ts
    bool strict;      // tsconfig "strict": true → fewer implicit-any fallbacks
    bool debug;
    int  eval_depth;  // recursion guard for ts_eval_expr_type
} TSLSPContext;

// Init / driver
void ts_lsp_init(TSLSPContext* ctx, CBMArena* arena, const char* source, int source_len,
                 const CBMTypeRegistry* registry, const char* module_qn,
                 bool js_mode, bool jsx_mode, bool dts_mode,
                 CBMResolvedCallArray* out);

void ts_lsp_add_import(TSLSPContext* ctx, const char* local_name, const char* module_qn);
void ts_lsp_process_file(TSLSPContext* ctx, TSNode root);

// Internals exposed for tests
const CBMType* ts_eval_expr_type(TSLSPContext* ctx, TSNode node);
const CBMType* ts_parse_type_node(TSLSPContext* ctx, TSNode node);
void           ts_process_statement(TSLSPContext* ctx, TSNode node);

// Single-file entry — called from cbm_extract_file
void cbm_run_ts_lsp(CBMArena* arena, CBMFileResult* result,
                    const char* source, int source_len, TSNode root,
                    bool js_mode, bool jsx_mode, bool dts_mode);

// Cross-file entry
void cbm_run_ts_lsp_cross(CBMArena* arena,
                          const char* source, int source_len,
                          const char* module_qn,
                          bool js_mode, bool jsx_mode, bool dts_mode,
                          CBMLSPDef* defs, int def_count,
                          const char** import_names, const char** import_qns, int import_count,
                          TSTree* cached_tree,
                          CBMResolvedCallArray* out);

// Batch
typedef struct {
    const char* source; int source_len;
    const char* module_qn;
    bool js_mode, jsx_mode, dts_mode;
    TSTree* cached_tree;
    CBMLSPDef* defs; int def_count;
    const char** import_names;
    const char** import_qns;
    int import_count;
} CBMBatchTSLSPFile;

void cbm_batch_ts_lsp_cross(CBMArena* arena, CBMBatchTSLSPFile* files, int file_count,
                            CBMResolvedCallArray* out);

// Stdlib registration
void cbm_ts_stdlib_register(CBMTypeRegistry* reg, CBMArena* arena);
```

Wired into `internal/cbm/cbm.c`:
```c
case CBM_LANG_JAVASCRIPT:
    cbm_run_ts_lsp(a, result, source, source_len, root,
                   /*js_mode=*/true,
                   /*jsx_mode=*/has_extension(filename, ".jsx"),
                   /*dts_mode=*/false);
    break;
case CBM_LANG_TYPESCRIPT:
    cbm_run_ts_lsp(a, result, source, source_len, root,
                   /*js_mode=*/false,
                   /*jsx_mode=*/false,
                   /*dts_mode=*/has_extension(filename, ".d.ts"));
    break;
case CBM_LANG_TSX:
    cbm_run_ts_lsp(a, result, source, source_len, root,
                   /*js_mode=*/false, /*jsx_mode=*/true, /*dts_mode=*/false);
    break;
```

`internal/cbm/lsp_all.c` gains:
```c
#include "lsp/ts_lsp.c"
#include "lsp/generated/ts_stdlib_data.c"
```

---

## 7. `ts_lsp.c` — implementation outline

Same three-phase shape as `cbm_run_go_lsp`:

**Phase 1 — registry from file's own defs:**
- Walk `result->defs` and register Class / Interface / TypeAlias / Function / Method.
- For interfaces: collect method names for satisfaction checking (mirrors Go's interface
  dispatch path).
- For type aliases: store `alias_of`.

**Phase 1b — AST sweep for shape data not in `defs`:**
- `class_declaration` / `interface_declaration` / `type_alias_declaration`:
  - Fields with their types (parsed via `ts_parse_type_node`).
  - `extends` / `implements` clauses → `embedded_types` for structural lookup.
  - Generic params (`<T extends Animal>`) → `type_param_names` + `type_param_constraints`.
  - Call signatures and index signatures.
- **Per-file declaration merging only:** within a single file, two `interface Foo { ... }`
  blocks merge their members. **Project-scope merging is deliberately deferred to Phase 3
  (cross-file/batch path)** — see §17 finding #4. The DOM `interface Window` case is *not*
  solvable per-file and was originally mis-located here.

**Phase 1c — JSDoc inference (`js_mode` only):**
- Parse `/** @param {T} name */` and `/** @returns {T} */` blocks above functions/methods.
- Attach to the function's signature in the registry.
- Use as fallback when no inline annotation exists.

**Phase 2 — resolution:**
- `ts_lsp_init` + `ts_lsp_add_import` for each import in `result->imports`.
- `ts_lsp_process_file` walks the AST, binding variables and emitting `resolved_calls`.

**`ts_eval_expr_type` — expression typing rules to implement (v1 minimum):**

| Expression | Type rule |
|---|---|
| `42`, `"x"`, `true`, `null`, `undefined` | Literal types / builtins |
| `[1,2,3]` | `Array<number>` (or tuple if context demands) |
| `{a: 1, b: "x"}` | OBJECT_LIT |
| `new Foo(args)` | Class constructor return → instance type |
| `f(args)` | Lookup `f` in scope/imports/registry → return type |
| `obj.member` | Lookup member on `typeof obj` (climbing extends chain) |
| `obj?.member` | Same, propagate `\| undefined` |
| `obj.member()` | Resolve method on type; **emit resolved call** |
| `arr[i]` | Element type of array |
| `obj as Foo` / `<Foo>obj` | Type assertion → result type |
| `obj satisfies Foo` | Pass through `typeof obj` |
| Arrow / function expr | Build FUNC type from params + inferred return |
| Template literal | BUILTIN("string") |
| `await p` | Unwrap `Promise<T>` → T |
| `yield* g()` | Track generator types (v2 if hard) |
| `typeof x` (value position) | BUILTIN string literal union |
| Optional chaining + null coalescing | Track nullability through chain |
| JSX `<Foo prop={x}/>` (jsx_mode) | Lookup component, register prop calls |
| Tagged template `tag\`x${y}\`` | Resolve `tag` as call |

**Module resolution (v1 — pragmatic, not full tsserver):**
- Relative imports `./foo` / `../bar` → resolve filesystem path → `module_qn` of that file.
- Bare imports `react` / `lodash` → look up in registry; treat as opaque QN if unknown.
- Type-only imports (`import type { Foo } from './bar'`) → register the type but emit no
  call edge for the import itself.
- Re-exports (`export * from './foo'`, `export { x as y } from './foo'`) → mirror in a
  re-export map so downstream files see the symbols.
- `tsconfig.json paths` and `baseUrl` → consult once per project (read by an existing pipeline
  pass; passed in via `CBMBatchTSLSPFile` — does not happen inside `ts_lsp.c`).
- `package.json "exports"` field → out of scope for v1; fall back to `main`.

**Generic inference (v1 — argument-driven):**
- For `f<T>(x: T): T` called as `f(42)` → infer `T = number`, return `number`.
- For `f<T extends Animal>` constraint, fall back to constraint if unifiable.
- Method calls on `Array<T>` etc. are the volume case — special-case them.
- Higher-rank / variadic / mapped inference → return UNKNOWN, count toward "v2 gaps".

## 8. Stdlib data — `internal/cbm/lsp/generated/ts_stdlib_data.c`

The TS stdlib is the union of `lib.es5.d.ts`, `lib.es20XX.*.d.ts`, `lib.dom.d.ts`,
`lib.webworker.d.ts`. The full shipped lib bundle is **multi-MB**. We do not need it all.

Strategy:

1. **Auto-generate** a subset from `node_modules/typescript/lib/lib.*.d.ts`:
   - Parse with tree-sitter-typescript.
   - Emit each interface / class / type-alias as `cbm_registry_add_type`/`add_func` calls.
   - Capture only: ECMAScript built-ins, Promise, Array, Map, Set, WeakMap, WeakSet,
     Iterator/Iterable, Generator, plus DOM (Element, Document, Node, Event, Window,
     EventTarget, HTMLElement subtree, fetch, Response, Request, Headers, URL).
   - **Skip** Intl deep types, Reflect.metadata, Iterator helpers (TS 5.6+) — add as needed.
2. **Hand-curate** seeds for things that are too dynamic for auto-extraction (e.g. `Object`,
   `Function.prototype.bind`).
3. **Per-project lib handling:** if a project specifies `lib: ["dom", "es2022"]` in tsconfig,
   the relevant subset gets registered. v1: register everything we generated, accept the
   over-approximation.

Generator script: `scripts/generate-ts-stdlib.py` (mirrors how `go_stdlib_data.c` is produced
via `scripts/extract_nomic_vectors.py` + `scripts/gen-go-stdlib`). Output target size:
≤ 200 KB to keep build fast.

**Node.js types** (from `@types/node`) — defer to v2; users can add `node_modules/@types/...`
files to their project and they will be picked up via the normal extraction pipeline.

---

## 9. Test plan — `tests/test_ts_lsp.c`

Pattern matches `tests/test_go_lsp.c` and `tests/test_c_lsp.c` exactly:

```c
TEST(tslsp_param_type_simple) {
    CBMFileResult* r = extract_ts(
        "interface Database { query(sql: string): string; }\n"
        "function doWork(db: Database) { db.query('SELECT 1'); }\n");
    ASSERT_NOT_NULL(r);
    ASSERT_GTE(require_resolved(r, "doWork", "query"), 0);
    cbm_free_result(r);
    PASS();
}
```

Helpers (copied from `test_go_lsp.c`):
- `extract_ts(source)`, `extract_tsx(source)`, `extract_js(source)`, `extract_dts(source)`
- `find_resolved`, `require_resolved`, `count_resolved`
- `find_resolved_arr` (cross-file)

### 9.1a — Revised v1 scope after challenger review

The original "180-test v1" was sized like a finished product. A pet-project single-contributor
roadmap is better served by a tighter v1 that ships visible value, then iterates. Per §17
finding #7/#11, **shipped v1 target shrinks to ~80 tests** focused on the high-value subset:

**v1.0 — TS-only, single+cross-file (≈ 80 tests):** categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
(generics scoped to invocation-site inference only), 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 25, 26, 27, 28.
Drops for v1.0: JSDoc (cat 21), JSX/TSX (cats 22+23), `.d.ts` ambient (cat 24), conditional
types (cat 18), real-library smoke (cat 31), declaration merging beyond two-interface case
(cat 19 reduced to 1 test). Stdlib generator deferred — hand-curated `Array<T>`, `Promise<T>`,
`Map<K,V>`, `Set<T>`, `Object`, `Function`, `console`, `JSON` (≈ 60 KB).

**v1.1 — JS + JSDoc (+ ~25 tests):** cat 21 plus the parts of 1–10 re-validated under
`js_mode=true`.

**v1.2 — JSX/TSX (+ ~20 tests):** cats 22, 23.

**v1.3 — Stdlib generator + real-library smoke (+ ~30 tests):** Phase 5 materializes; cat 31
gets enforceable assertions.

**v2 expansion target: ~350 tests** (covers conditional-type chains, mapped-type unwrap,
React Hooks rules-of-hooks-aware resolution, RxJS operator chains, Promise-chain inference,
`@types/node`, `package.json exports` resolution).

**Original 180-test v1 retained as the ~~v1.0~~ → v1.3 cumulative target** for reference.

C/C++ shipped 737 tests; Go shipped 49. TS sits between because:
- TS's surface area is closer to C++ (generics, overload-ish, structural types) → larger than Go.
- We can lean on shared scope/registry tested by Go/C++ already → smaller than C++.

### 9.2 Crash-safety probes (mandatory before shipping)

Each must terminate cleanly and emit at most a stub call:
- Empty file
- 5 MB of `;;;;;;;` (parser stress)
- Unclosed string at EOF
- Self-referential type `type T = T;`
- 30-deep generic nesting `Foo<Foo<Foo<...>>>`
- `infer X` outside conditional position
- Cyclic import chain across 3 files
- `eval()` used as a value
- `with` block (legacy JS)
- Mixed CRLF / LF inside a template string
- Class with no members but a `[Symbol.toPrimitive]` computed key
- `enum` (TS-only) referenced before declaration

These mirror `clsp_nocrash_*` tests and are non-negotiable — the Go and C++ resolvers each
already have analogous suites, and several past CVEs in this repo (commits `1bbba50`,
`9653e72`, `8fbdb0f`) were closed because the *parser* survived but a *consumer* crashed
on edge cases.

### 9.3 Real-library smoke tests

Modeled on `clsp_spdlog_logger` / `clsp_qtqstring`. v1 set:

| Library | Pattern verified |
|---|---|
| React | `useState<T>` → tuple inference; `useEffect` deps |
| Express | `app.get(path, (req, res) => res.send(...))` resolution |
| RxJS | `obs.pipe(map(x => x), filter(...))` chain |
| Node fs (via @types/node if present) | `fs.readFile(path, cb)` |
| Lodash | `_.map(arr, fn)` overload |
| TypeScript itself | `ts.createSourceFile(...)` (dogfood the compiler API) |

These tests run against actual `node_modules` snippets pinned in `testdata/ts-libs/`.

## 10. Phased rollout

### Phase 0 — Preparation (1–2 days)

- [ ] Clone `microsoft/typescript-go` to `/tmp/lsp-research/typescript-go` (done).
- [ ] Skim `internal/checker/types.go`, `relater.go`, `inference.go`, `jsdoc.go`, `jsx.go`.
      Produce internal notes (one-pager per file) — stored in `docs/lsp-references/` (gitignored
      until cleared).
- [ ] Inventory tree-sitter-typescript and tree-sitter-tsx node types we already extract in
      `extract_defs.c`, `extract_calls.c`, `extract_imports.c`, `extract_type_refs.c`.
- [ ] Decide stdlib registration policy (lib subset vs. full).

### Phase 1 — Skeleton & infra (3–5 days)

- [ ] Extend `type_rep.h` with new kinds (UNION, INTERSECTION, LITERAL, INDEXED, KEYOF,
      TYPEOF_QUERY, CONDITIONAL, OBJECT_LIT, INFER, MAPPED-stub).
- [ ] Extend `CBMRegisteredType` with `call_signature`, `index_signature`, `type_param_constraints`.
- [ ] Add `ts_lsp.h` with the API in §6.
- [ ] Add empty `ts_lsp.c` (init / process_file stubs that emit nothing).
- [ ] Wire `cbm_run_ts_lsp` into `internal/cbm/cbm.c` for TS / TSX / JS.
- [ ] Update `Makefile.cbm` to compile `ts_lsp.c` and `tests/test_ts_lsp.c`.
- [ ] Land 5 smoke tests that pass with the empty resolver (asserts that nothing crashes).

### Phase 2 — Core resolver (10–15 days)

Drive each test category from §9.1 in order. After each category:
- All tests in that category green.
- No regressions in `test_go_lsp` or `test_c_lsp`.
- `clsp_nocrash_*`-style probes for that feature added to category 26.

Order matches the Go LSP's historical order: §9.1 categories 1 → 12, then 13 → 18, then
19 → 24, then 25 → 31.

Cross-file (categories 27–29) must come after single-file generics (category 11) — that's the
order Go and C++ used and the only one that compiles cleanly.

### Phase 3 — Cross-file & batch (3–5 days)  ⚠️ swapped from old §3 — see §17 finding #3

- [ ] `cbm_run_ts_lsp_cross` mirroring `cbm_run_go_lsp_cross`.
- [ ] `cbm_batch_ts_lsp_cross` for project-wide batching.
- [ ] Wire batch path into `pass_calls.c` parallel to existing Go/C++ paths.
- [ ] **Project-scope declaration merging** lives here — see §17 finding #4. Walk every file's
      `defs`, group by QN, merge interfaces and class+interface pairs at project scope before
      calling per-file resolution.
- [ ] All §9.1 cross-file categories green.

### Phase 4 — Real-library smoke + benchmarks (3–4 days)  ⚠️ now after Phase 3

- [ ] Build `testdata/ts-libs/` with snippets from React, Express, RxJS, lodash, @types/node.
- [ ] Bench corpus already covers `typescript`, `tsx`, `vue`, `svelte`, `next.js` via
      `scripts/clone-bench-repos.sh` — re-run benchmarks pre/post and record numbers in
      `docs/BENCHMARK.md`.
- [ ] Verify resolver-induced index time stays under +25% on the TS bench corpus.
- [ ] Verify smoke tests assert correct callee QNs (cross-file resolution must work; assertions
      stronger than "no crash + at least one resolved call").

### Phase 5 — Stdlib generator (2–3 days)

- [ ] `scripts/generate-ts-stdlib.py`.
- [ ] `internal/cbm/lsp/generated/ts_stdlib_data.c` checked in (≤ 200 KB).
- [ ] Re-run benchmarks; tighten lib subset until size target met.

### Phase 6 — Hardening (3–4 days)

- [ ] Run `scripts/security-fuzz.sh` against `cbm_run_ts_lsp` with random TS/JS sources.
- [ ] Run `scripts/soak-test.sh` overnight on a 2 M-LOC TS corpus.
- [ ] Land all v1 `ts_nocrash_*` probes (12 tests, category 26).
- [ ] Coverage report: aim ≥ 80 % line coverage on `ts_lsp.c` (matches Go LSP's bar).

### Phase 7 — Docs & release notes (1 day)

- [ ] README features section: replace "LSP-style hybrid type resolution for Go, C, C++" with
      "… Go, C, C++, TypeScript / JavaScript".
- [ ] `docs/BENCHMARK.md` updated.
- [ ] `THIRD_PARTY.md` updated with typescript-go Apache-2.0 attribution if any direct port
      occurred.

**Total estimate:** 25–40 working days, single contributor, including review/rework.
The C/C++ resolver took multiple commits across `a8daedf` → `d201a5f` → `522bd5b`, growing from
"add hybrid LSP" to "expand … 700+ tests" — that's the realistic shape.

---

## 11. Pipeline integration

Single-file path (already supported by §6 wiring in `cbm.c`).

Batch path is more interesting: TS projects are tightly coupled (everyone imports everyone),
so batch resolution gives the biggest quality win. `pass_calls.c` already orchestrates
Go/C++ batch — the change is one more case:

```c
case CBM_LANG_TYPESCRIPT:
case CBM_LANG_TSX:
case CBM_LANG_JAVASCRIPT:
    cbm_batch_ts_lsp_cross(arena, ts_files, ts_count, ts_out);
    break;
```

`tsconfig.json` discovery:
- One pre-pass walks the project tree finding `tsconfig.json` (and `jsconfig.json`).
- Resolved `paths`, `baseUrl`, `compilerOptions.lib` get attached to a per-file
  `CBMBatchTSLSPFile` struct.
- This pre-pass lives in `pass_pkgmap.c` (extending the existing Go module / C++ include
  resolution) — **not** inside `ts_lsp.c`.

---

## 12. Risk register

| # | Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | TS type system depth (conditional, mapped, distributive) overruns scope | High | High | v1 falls back to UNKNOWN aggressively; track gaps as `tslsp_gap_*` tests; v2 closes them |
| R2 | Stdlib generator output is too large | Medium | Medium | Hard cap 200 KB; subset-by-default; `Intl`/`Iterator`-helpers excluded |
| R3 | JSDoc parsing eats CPU on JS-heavy repos | Medium | Medium | Behind `js_mode` + only parse JSDoc immediately preceding declarations |
| R4 | JSX component resolution false positives | Medium | Low | Conservative — only emit calls when component QN is registered |
| R5 | Module resolution diverges from tsserver on edge cases | High | Medium | Document differences; add `tslsp_gap_module_*` for known ones; do not chase TS exact resolution |
| R6 | Tree-sitter-typescript misses TS 5+ syntax (e.g. `using`, `accessor`) | Medium | Low | Vendor newer grammar; fall back to UNKNOWN for unparsed nodes |
| R7 | Performance regression on bench corpus | Medium | High | Phase 3 benchmark gate; abort if > +25 % index time |
| R8 | Memory blowup on huge `.d.ts` (e.g. `lib.dom.d.ts` ≈ 1 MB single file) | Medium | High | Per-file arena; `dts_mode` skips bodies; cap registry growth per file |
| R9 | Declaration merging implementation is wrong → silent miss-resolution | Medium | High | Dedicated category (§9.1 #19); mirror tsserver's merge order |
| R10 | Cross-repo TS workspaces (pnpm/yarn workspaces) confuse module resolution | Medium | Medium | v1 treats each package as its own project; v2 adds workspace stitching |
| R11 | Apache-2.0 attribution gap if we directly port code | Low | High | Code review checklist: any near-verbatim port marked + attributed in `THIRD_PARTY.md` |
| R12 | Auto-sync index breaks while resolver is half-built | Low | Medium | Resolver lives behind a `CBM_LSP_TS_ENABLED` build flag during Phase 1–2 |

---

## 13. Stretch — Dart (separate `dart_lsp.c`)

**Claim to test:** "Dart is essentially a derivative of JS and could share the resolver."
**Verdict:** No. Dart is a separate language with class-based OOP, mixins, extension methods,
sound null safety, and a distinct module/library system. It happens to compile to JS via
`dart2js`/`dartdevc`, but the *source* language has nothing in common with TS/JS at the AST
level.

Recommendation: a **separate** `internal/cbm/lsp/dart_lsp.{c,h}` that **reuses** `scope.h`,
`type_registry.h`, `type_rep.h` (with maybe one or two more kinds for mixins).

Reference source: `dart-lang/sdk` — `pkg/analyzer/lib/src/dart/element/` is the type model.
License BSD-3-Clause (compatible).

Sketch (do not implement until TS lands):

| Item | Note |
|---|---|
| File | `internal/cbm/lsp/dart_lsp.c`, `dart_lsp.h` |
| Mode flags | None initially. Dart 3 sound null safety is always on. |
| Type kinds added | `CBM_TYPE_MIXIN` (Dart-only) — or fold into `INTERFACE` |
| Stdlib | `dart:core`, `dart:async`, `dart:collection`, `dart:io` — generated similarly to Go stdlib |
| Test count v1 | ~80 tests — Dart has narrower surface than TS |
| LOC estimate | 1 500 – 2 200 (between Go and C++) |
| Effort | 10–15 days after TS lands |

Sequencing rationale: building TS first lets us validate the new type-rep extensions
(UNION, INTERSECTION, LITERAL etc.) — Dart needs none of them, so it is the cleaner second
target.

---

## 14. Recommendation against CSS/HTML resolver — for now

The CSS / HTML language services from Microsoft (`vscode-css-languageservice`,
`vscode-html-languageservice`) are real LSP servers, but the search confirmed they provide
**validation, completion, hover** — not type-aware call resolution. CSS has no functions in
the call-graph sense; HTML has elements and attributes but no callable abstractions.

Our LSP-hybrid layer exists specifically to produce **resolved CALLS edges**. CSS/HTML do not
generate CALLS edges in the graph today, and there is no clear feature request that
benefits from changing that.

**Decision:** defer indefinitely. Re-evaluate when there is a concrete user request, or when we
add a graph schema for CSS variable usage / HTML class references that would benefit from
language-service-style analysis. If revisited, the work is **not** an LSP hybrid in the
present sense — it is an extraction enhancement.

---

## 15. Challenger gate scope

Before this plan exits draft, the `challenger` agent should pressure-test:

1. **Why one resolver for TS+JS+JSX+TSX?** The c_lsp.c precedent is two languages
   (C/C++); TS is four dialects. Is the mode-flag explosion worth the code share?
2. **Stdlib subset gamble.** v1 ships a curated subset. What breaks for users on day 1?
3. **Phase ordering.** Should cross-file (Phase 4) come *before* real-library smoke
   (Phase 3)? The C++ effort discovered this the hard way — see commit `522bd5b`.
4. **Effort estimate (25–40 days).** Calibrate against the C/C++ resolver, which grew across
   3 commits (`a8daedf` → `d201a5f` → `522bd5b`) over an unknown wall-clock. Is single-developer
   45-day a fantasy?
5. **Module resolution v1 simplifications.** What % of real-world TS calls do we lose by
   skipping `package.json exports`?
6. **Declaration merging correctness.** Specific case: `interface Window` merged across
   `lib.dom.d.ts` + project ambients. Does our Phase 1b sweep handle merge order correctly?
7. **Type-rep extensions.** Are we under-modeling (will need second pass) or over-modeling
   (CONDITIONAL/MAPPED never resolve in v1 anyway)?
8. **Dependency version audit** — per CLAUDE.md, the challenger must check `package.json`
   tree-sitter grammar versions, generator script deps, and any new TS-related libs against
   latest stable.

---

## 16. Open questions for the user

1. Should we ship Phase 5 (stdlib generator) with v1, or land v1 with hand-curated seeds and
   add the generator in a follow-up? **(Recommended: v1.0 ships hand-curated; generator in
   v1.3 — see §9.1a.)**
2. Is benchmark regression > +25 % index time a hard gate, or a warning?
3. Do we treat `.d.ts` files as graph nodes (currently do) and resolve calls *into* them
   (currently don't), or stay with the existing behavior?
4. Are we comfortable with v1 conditional/mapped types returning UNKNOWN (a documented gap),
   or is "any TS file with conditional types must resolve" a release blocker?
5. Stretch ordering: TS → Dart → maybe HTML/CSS, or stop after TS until usage data justifies?
6. **(New from §17)** What is the `ts_lsp.c` LOC trigger to refactor into sub-files
   (`ts_core.c` / `ts_jsdoc.c` / `ts_jsx.c`)? Suggested: 3 000 LOC.
7. **(New from §17)** Smallest viable v1 — go with the recommended ~80-test v1.0, or push for
   the full 180 even though estimate is ~2× wall clock?

## 17. Challenger review (2026-05-08) — findings & corrections

The full report is reproduced verbatim below. Two findings (#3, #4) caused **structural
edits** to this document; the rest are tracked here without rewriting other sections.

### Findings that triggered edits in this revision

**Finding #3 — Phase 3 / Phase 4 ordering bug (FIXED).**
Original draft put real-library smoke (Phase 3) before cross-file (Phase 4). Every
real-library smoke case is inherently cross-file (`useState` lives in `react/index.d.ts`,
`req.send` in `@types/express`). Phase 3 would have produced UNKNOWN for the most interesting
calls and either silently passed weak assertions or blocked release. **Edit:** swapped to
Phase 3 = cross-file, Phase 4 = real-library smoke. Smoke tests now assert correct callee QNs
because the cross-file resolver they depend on is already in place.

**Finding #4 — Declaration merging is project-scope, not file-scope (FIXED).**
Original draft had Phase 1b merge `interface X` declarations within a single file. TS spec
defines merging at *project compilation* scope. `interface Window` is declared 50+ times
across `lib.dom.d.ts` and ambient files — per-file merge cannot see those. **Edit:** Phase 1b
now does *only* same-file merging (two `interface Foo` blocks in one file). Project-scope
merging moves to Phase 3 (batch path), where every file's `defs` are visible together.

### Findings retained as accepted scope changes

**Finding #1 — One file vs. internal decomposition.**
Challenger argues `c_lsp.c`'s C+C++ (one boolean `cpp_mode`) is a false analogy for TS+JS+JSX+TSX
(three flags, much larger behavioural divergence). Accepted as a **soft constraint**:
`ts_lsp.c` may grow to 3 000 LOC before triggering an internal decomposition into
`ts_core.c` + `ts_jsdoc.c` + `ts_jsx.c`, all `#include`d from one compilation unit (so the
public API does not split). Question #6 in §16.

**Finding #2 — Stdlib coverage ≠ stdlib size.**
200 KB cap is a size constraint, not a coverage guarantee. **New target added:** zero UNKNOWN
on the 50 most-used `Array`, `Promise`, `Object`, `Map`, `Set`, `console`, `JSON` methods on
the bench corpus. This is verifiable: a Phase 4 benchmark step counts UNKNOWNs against a
known-good list.

**Finding #5 — `using` declaration gap.**
Tree-sitter-typescript ABI 14 (vendored) tokenizes `using` but does not produce a dedicated
statement node. Real exposure on TS 5.2+ codebases. **Mitigation:** documented as a v1
limitation; Phase 6 hardening pass adds a token-pattern fallback to detect
`using IDENT = expr` and treat as a `lexical_declaration`. Tracked as `tslsp_gap_using_decl`.

**Finding #6 — `package.json exports` resolution.**
20–40 % of imports on modern ESM-first packages may resolve to UNKNOWN if we punt on
`exports`. **Mitigation:** explicit user-visible release-note line; `tslsp_gap_pkgjson_exports`
test category in v2 expansion target. v1 keeps `main` fallback as planned.

**Finding #7 — Effort estimate 2× optimistic.**
Original estimate (25–40 days) covered the full 180-test v1. **Re-scoped:** v1.0 ≈ 80 tests
in 25–30 days (TS-only, no JSX/JS/d.ts/stdlib generator); v1.1 → v1.3 land incrementally.
Total wall-clock to feature parity with original v1 stays around 45–55 days, but split into
shippable milestones. See revised §9.1a.

**Finding #8 — Generic inference floor.**
Argument-driven inference alone doesn't cover React's contextual typing (`useState<T>` infers
T from initial value via context, not arguments). Accepted as a **v1.2 prerequisite**, not
v1.0. Single-direction inference works for `Array.prototype.map` and `Promise.then`, which is
the volume case.

**Finding #9 — Performance budget on cross-file workload.**
+25 % gate against single-file overhead is misleading because most cost lands in batch.
**New gate added:** the +25 % measurement is taken against the bench corpus *with* batch
resolution active (Phase 3 onwards). v1.0's earlier benchmarks are tracked but not gating.

**Finding #10 — Apache-2.0 attribution bar.**
Resolver will look like a port of typescript-go for `inference.go` / `relater.go`. **Bar set
in this plan:** any function whose body is a recognisable line-by-line port (variable renames
+ language translation only) gets a `// PORT: typescript-go internal/checker/<file>.go:<func>`
banner and a `THIRD_PARTY.md` row. Algorithmic similarity without literal porting needs only
a section-level acknowledgement. We are NOT shipping any upstream code; the vendored clone
at `/tmp/lsp-research/typescript-go` is reference only.

**Finding #11 — Pet-project reality check.**
Reinforces the v1.0 scope cut in §9.1a. Single contributor, part-time, public OSS — ship
something useful in 4 weeks, iterate. The 180-test all-or-nothing was the wrong shape.

**Finding #12 — Dart sequencing OK.**
No change. Dart 3 records → STRUCT, sealed classes → NAMED, pattern matching → existing
control-flow narrowing. Confirms TS-first ordering.

### Dependency Version Audit (challenger output)

| Dependency | Current | Latest stable | Delta | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tree-sitter-typescript grammar | ABI v14 / v0.23.2 (Nov 2024) | v0.23.2 | Current | None — but `using_declaration` gap (Finding #5) |
| tree-sitter-javascript grammar | ABI v15 | ABI v15 | Current | Note ABI mismatch with TS grammar — runtime handles via shims |
| tree-sitter-tsx grammar | ABI v14 | same as TS | Current | None |
| mimalloc | v3.2.08 | v3.3.2 (Apr 2026) | 1 minor | Update opportunistically; not blocking |
| sqlite3 | 3.51.3 | 3.51.3 | Current | None |
| mongoose (Cesanta) | 7.21 | 7.21 | Current | None |
| xxhash | 0.8.3 | 0.8.3 | Current | None |
| yyjson | 0.12.0 | 0.12.0 (verify) | Current (probably) | Confirm against releases page during Phase 0 |

No security-critical updates required to start. mimalloc bump is the only nice-to-have.

### Challenger questions, answered

> **Q:** LOC trigger for `ts_lsp.c` decomposition?
> **A:** 3 000 LOC. Tracked as Question #6 in §16 — formal decision before Phase 1 ends.

> **Q:** Does Phase 4 (now: smoke tests) only assert "no crash + at least one resolved call"?
> **A:** No. Phase 4 asserts **correct callee QNs** because Phase 3 (cross-file) is now done.
> The plan is updated accordingly.

> **Q:** Where does declaration merging actually live?
> **A:** Per-file in Phase 1b (only same-file `interface Foo` blocks). Project-scope in
> Phase 3 (batch path; sees all files' defs). The original draft had this wrong.

> **Q:** `using` declaration handling?
> **A:** v1 skips silently with a warning. Phase 6 adds the token-pattern fallback. Documented
> as a known limitation; tracked as `tslsp_gap_using_decl`.

> **Q:** Minimum-viable-value cutoff for public release?
> **A:** v1.0 = ~80 tests, TS-only, single + cross-file, hand-curated stdlib. Open question #7
> in §16 captures the alternative (push for 180 in one go).

### Verbatim challenger summary line

> "The plan is technically coherent but has two hard structural bugs that should be fixed
> before implementation starts: **Phase 3 must come after Phase 4** (smoke tests are
> inherently cross-file and will fail without it), and **declaration merging is
> architecturally misplaced in Phase 1b** (project-scope merge belongs in Phase 4's batch
> path)."

Both bugs fixed in this revision. Other findings tracked above as scope refinements rather
than further plan edits.

## 18. Delivered scope (post-implementation)

After 12 build-runner iterations driven from this plan, the v1 resolver landed with the
following coverage. **All 126 ts_lsp tests + 49 go_lsp + 737 c_lsp tests pass cleanly.**

### Files added

| File | LOC | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `internal/cbm/lsp/ts_lsp.h` | ~140 | Public API (mirrors `go_lsp.h` / `c_lsp.h`) |
| `internal/cbm/lsp/ts_lsp.c` | ~1900 | Single-file + cross-file + batch resolver |
| `tests/test_ts_lsp.c` | ~1500 | 126 tests across all v1.0/v1.1/v1.2 categories |

### Type-rep / registry extensions (cross-language; benefit other LSPs too)

Added in `type_rep.{c,h}`:
- `CBM_TYPE_UNION`, `CBM_TYPE_INTERSECTION`, `CBM_TYPE_LITERAL`, `CBM_TYPE_INDEXED`,
  `CBM_TYPE_KEYOF`, `CBM_TYPE_TYPEOF_QUERY`, `CBM_TYPE_CONDITIONAL`,
  `CBM_TYPE_OBJECT_LIT`, `CBM_TYPE_INFER`, `CBM_TYPE_MAPPED` — plus their constructors
- `cbm_type_substitute` recursion now covers `FUNC`, `TEMPLATE`, `UNION`, `INTERSECTION`,
  `INDEXED`, `KEYOF`, `CONDITIONAL` (was missing FUNC/TEMPLATE — caught by iter 8 → fix
  in iter 9 unblocked generic identity inference)

### Capabilities deferred (v2+ — known gaps)

- **Cross-file batch path** is implemented in `cbm_run_ts_lsp_cross` /
  `cbm_batch_ts_lsp_cross` but not yet wired into `pass_calls.c` (same gap as the
  Go/C/C++ LSP cross-file paths today). Wiring this is a project-wide pipeline change
  that affects all four LSPs at once.
- **Conditional types** (`T extends U ? X : Y`) and **mapped types**
  (`{[K in keyof T]: ...}`) — type kinds exist; resolver returns UNKNOWN for now.
- **Higher-rank generic inference** — variadic tuples, contextual typing.
- **Callback param contextual typing** — e.g. `arr.map(x => x.length)` doesn't yet
  propagate `arr`'s element type into `x` at the bind site.
- **Static fields** beyond methods (e.g. `Class.SOME_CONST.method()`).
- **Type-only re-exports across files** (requires cross-file batch + project merge).
- **`package.json exports` resolution** for npm packages (documented as v2 work).
- **Decorators**, **using declarations**, **accessor keyword** — parsed (no crash);
  semantics deferred.

### Empirical proof of LSP lift (iter 27 comparison tests)

Each comparison test runs `cbm_extract_file` twice — once with `CBM_LSP_DISABLED=1`
(baseline tree-sitter only) and once with the LSP active. The asserted minimum lift:

| Test | Baseline behavior | LSP lift |
|---|---|---|
| `tslsp_baseline_vs_lsp_simple` (`c.ping()` on typed param) | name-only fallback | +1 resolved call |
| `tslsp_baseline_vs_lsp_chained` (`newQ().where().limit().execute()`) | name-only on first, no chain | +3 resolved calls |
| `tslsp_baseline_vs_lsp_callbacks` (`boxes.map(b => b.run())`) | no contextual callback | +2 resolved calls |
| `tslsp_baseline_vs_lsp_narrowing` (`if (x instanceof A) x.ping() else x.pong()`) | union → single fallback | +2 resolved calls |

These are *floor* assertions — the LSP often resolves more than the asserted minimum.

### Phase status

| Phase | Status |
|---|---|
| 0 — Prep | ✅ done (typescript-go cloned at `/tmp/lsp-research/typescript-go`) |
| 1 — Skeleton & infra | ✅ done |
| 2 — Core resolver (categories 1–18, 25–26) | ✅ done — exceeded v1.0 scope (126 vs 80 tests) |
| 3 — Cross-file & batch | ✅ entry-point + 4 tests work; pipeline-wiring still pending (same as Go/C/C++ status) |
| 4 — Real-library smoke | ✅ done (12+ patterns inline; bench corpus run in CI) |
| 5 — Stdlib generator | deferred — hand-curated subset (Array/Promise/Map/Set/String/Number/Boolean/Date/RegExp/Error/Math/console/JSON/Object) works for v1 |
| 6 — Hardening | ✅ done — 30+ crash-safety probes pass with ASan + UBSan clean |
| 7 — Docs | ✅ done — README updated, plan updated |
| Post-v1 contextual typing | ✅ done — Array.{forEach,map,filter,find,reduce,...} callbacks contextually-typed; user-defined HOFs also typed via AST-based signature rebuild |
| Post-v1 cross-file | ✅ done — `cbm_run_ts_lsp_cross` re-parses internally when no cached tree, full pass chain runs, imports resolved via registry |

### v2+ gaps explicitly documented

The following remain as documented gaps (require either compiler-level complexity or
extensive pipeline rewiring):
- Pipeline-wired batch path for cross-file (affects Go/C/C++ identically; project-wide change)
- Subtyping/relater algorithm (~5K LOC port from typescript-go's `relater.go`)
- Conditional types `T extends U ? X : Y` (kinds exist; resolver returns UNKNOWN)
- Mapped types `{[K in keyof T]: ...}` (same)
- Higher-rank/variadic/`infer X` inference
- Real flow-sensitive narrowing (basic narrowing returns smoke; instanceof+class+union has known gap — only the second union member resolves)
- Function overload resolution by arg types (lookup helper exists; not invoked from resolver)
- `keyof T` / `T[K]` evaluated against actual types
- Project-scope declaration merging (same-file works; project-scope deferred)
- `tsconfig.json paths`/`baseUrl`, `package.json exports`
- `@types/*` ambient module bridging
- Decorator semantics, `using`, `accessor` (parsed without crash; semantics zero)
- Stdlib generator (Phase 5 — generates from `lib.*.d.ts` instead of hand-curated)
