KidLisp Fixes TODO List #

🎯 Current Focus #

◆ Fix API parameter issue in disk.mjs (Phase 1)

📋 Todo Items #

Phase 1: Immediate API Fix (disk.mjs) #

• ◆ Fix the module() call: Change kidlispInstance.module(source, kidlispAPI) to properly handle the returned piece object
• Create proper piece lifecycle: Call boot, then paint with the API
• Handle API parameter correctly: Pass false for isLispFile parameter
• Test basic inline KidLisp: Verify (wipe blue) works on left side

Phase 2: Async $code Support #

• Implement proper async handling: Modify embedded KidLisp to wait for $code resolution
• Add loading states: Show loading indicator while fetching cached codes
• Cache management: Ensure proper cache invalidation and memory management
• Test $code execution: Verify $bop loads and executes on right side

Phase 3: Buffer Context Enhancement (Blur Fix) #

• Verify buffer variable scope: Check if graph.blur accesses correct width/height/pixels during isolated buffer operations
• Add buffer context logging: Log actual width/height/pixels values that blur operates on
• Compare execution contexts: Analyze why embedded pieces work vs isolated buffer calls
• Buffer-aware blur function: Modify blur to accept buffer context parameters instead of using globals
• Global variable synchronization: Ensure global width/height/pixels are updated before blur calls
• Test blur in isolated vs main contexts: Verify visual effects appear correctly

Phase 4: Testing & Validation #

• Comprehensive testing: Test all KidLisp embedding scenarios
• Performance testing: Measure overhead of embedded executions
• Error handling: Ensure proper error handling for missing cached codes
• Regression testing: Verify existing functionality still works

🔍 Investigation Notes #

Current Status #

• Local server is running
• Ready to receive console logs for debugging
• Both plans have been analyzed and consolidated

Key Files to Monitor #

• /system/public/aesthetic.computer/lib/disk.mjs - Lines around 3000-3150
• /system/public/aesthetic.computer/lib/kidlisp.mjs - Lines around 2978-3000
• /system/public/aesthetic.computer/lib/graph.mjs - Blur function
• /system/public/aesthetic.computer/disks/kidlisp-in-js.mjs - Test case

Expected Outcomes After Current Fix #

• (wipe blue) should show blue background on left side
• No infinite console logging
• Proper foundation for $code async support
• Foundation for blur buffer context fixes
