Implement self-contained grapho architecture with four data types
Major rewrite of grapho CLI to support: - Type 1 (Config): grapho init <repo-url> clones NixOS config - Type 2 (Sync): Isolated Syncthing on port 8385 (separate from system) - Type 3 (Backup): Restic integration with systemd timer - Type 4 (Server): Mount point for central server data New features: - Welcome flow on first run (detects ~/.config/grapho/grapho.toml) - grapho setup wizard creates directory structure - grapho sync/backup/server subcommands - grapho status shows all four data types - grapho doctor checks system health Added modules/grapho.nix NixOS module: - Configures isolated Syncthing (ports 8385, 22001, 21028) - Sets up grapho-backup systemd service and timer - Creates directory structure via tmpfiles - Optional NFS server mount Updated flake.nix: - Export grapho NixOS module - Add grapho CLI package (nix build .#grapho) Documented additional Lux language limitations: - String == comparison broken in C backend - let _ = pattern not supported - List literals with recursion cause segfaults Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## C Backend Issues
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. String Equality Comparison Generates Incorrect C Code
|
||||
**Severity:** High
|
||||
**Status:** Bug
|
||||
|
||||
Using `==` to compare strings generates C code that compares pointers instead of string contents.
|
||||
|
||||
```lux
|
||||
let result = execQuiet("echo yes")
|
||||
if result == "yes" then ... // C code: (result == "yes") - pointer comparison!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** String comparisons fail in compiled binaries.
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Use `String.contains` for comparison:
|
||||
```lux
|
||||
fn isYes(s: String): Bool = String.contains(s, "yes")
|
||||
if result |> isYes then ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. String.startsWith Not Available in C Backend
|
||||
**Severity:** Medium
|
||||
**Status:** Bug
|
||||
|
||||
`String.startsWith` works in interpreter but generates undefined function calls in C.
|
||||
|
||||
```lux
|
||||
String.startsWith(s, "prefix") // C error: lux_string__startsWith undefined
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Use `String.contains` instead.
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. `let _ = expr` Pattern Not Supported
|
||||
**Severity:** Low
|
||||
**Status:** Bug
|
||||
|
||||
The underscore wildcard pattern for discarding results doesn't work.
|
||||
|
||||
```lux
|
||||
let _ = Process.exec("...") // ERROR: Expected identifier
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Use a named binding:
|
||||
```lux
|
||||
let ignore = Process.exec("...")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 10. List Literals and Recursion Cause Segfaults
|
||||
**Severity:** High
|
||||
**Status:** Bug
|
||||
|
||||
Combining list literals with recursive functions can cause segmentation faults in compiled binaries while working fine in interpreter.
|
||||
|
||||
```lux
|
||||
// This crashes when compiled:
|
||||
let dirs = ["a", "b", "c"]
|
||||
fn processDirs(dirs: List<String>): Unit =
|
||||
match List.head(dirs) {
|
||||
Some(d) => { ...; match List.tail(dirs) { Some(rest) => processDirs(rest), ... } }
|
||||
None => ()
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Workaround:** Avoid list literals with recursive processing. Inline the operations:
|
||||
```lux
|
||||
fn processA(): Unit = ...
|
||||
fn processB(): Unit = ...
|
||||
fn processC(): Unit = ...
|
||||
// Call each individually
|
||||
```
|
||||

## Suggestions for Lux
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Add escape sequence support** - At minimum `\"`, `\\`, `\n`, `\t`
|
||||
2. **Fix String.fromChar** to return String, not Int
|
||||
3. **Add raw string literals** - Something like `r"..."` or `'''...'''` for shell commands
|
||||
4. **Fix the double execution bug** in the runtime
|
||||
4. **Fix the double execution bug** in the runtime (DONE)
|
||||
5. **Support record type literals** matching their declared type
|
||||
6. **Add Int.parse and Float.parse** for string-to-number conversion
|
||||
7. **Consider a heredoc syntax** for multi-line strings with special characters
|
||||
8. **Fix string equality** - Use strcmp in C backend for string ==
|
||||
9. **Support `let _ = `** - Allow underscore as discard binding
|
||||
10. **Fix String.startsWith** in C backend
|
||||
11. **Fix list literals with recursion** causing segfaults
