16 hours	all the syscall parameters are in the kernel's order now	Irene Knapp
	there was never a good reason for them not to be plus, the formerly bespoke ones use the generic helpers now; sys-open and sys-close are implemented; and a bug in push-input-buffer and pop-output-buffer is fixed unfortunately these were breaking changes, so there's another evoke.hex in this one Change-Id: Ifad58fc2fd757adcf89a69c59575565a10406ec2 Force-Push: yes
40 hours	change sys-write and sys-read to take file descriptors	Irene Knapp
	and also sys-write didn't used to return a result this required a little massaging to make it build, the host evoke needed to not actually pass the file descriptor in evoke.e. for posterity: this was fixed by changing it everywhere else as a one-off, then changing it there and using the intermediate version to build the one being checked in now. this kind of weirdness is a thing we get the freedom to do because of the bootstrapped distribution model, though we still strongly prefer not to do it unless necessary. this breaking change would have had to happen at some point, so it's considered acceptable. the size of the diff to evoke.hex is larger than ideal. this raises the need to have a policy for when to regenerate it. since this is a breaking change, it's mandatory. it also seems important to commit a regenerated copy when a release is tagged. it will probably turn out to be a good idea to not regenerate it excessively, otherwise. it's possible that in the long run it might make sense to add name-mapping functionality to hex, just to make the diffs smaller. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I2648b2577c5c21b126e46405e9888b5cb59aa0b7
2026-05-28	yay we already had high-level flow control there	Irene Knapp
	so the TODOs are unneeded Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I13d1316d22b52238076d6f17d05062671e4724e4
2026-05-24	added a program, hex.e, which will be the bootstrap strategy	Irene Knapp
	also added some instructions it needed Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ia35280e2696167eb0662a5c3a9dc47840438da56
2026-05-22	de-branch'd all the internals	Irene Knapp
	so it's all just high-level flow control now, which makes it load in itself the output isn't identical on the first self-compilation, but it converges on the second with this, it is officially self-hosting. WOW. Force-Push: yes Change-Id: Ic14de1dae209b200cada269b07c3826c86fa494f
2026-05-21	started cleaning up all the log-loaded functionality	Irene Knapp
	it's in dynamic.e for now Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I4d0c5917eccd58cb881850faee0728d786010c27
2026-05-20	the entirety of core.e now log-loads	Irene Knapp
	wow!!!!!! wow making this work required implementing comma and keyword in the log-load transform Force-Push: yes Change-Id: If888d89c23389720840b49b72478e4826a15a269
2026-05-20	add a really powerful stack depth tracking feature for transforms to use	Irene Knapp
	also said feature seems to work, which is flatly astonishing just a little more now... Force-Push: yes Change-Id: I1bda7e99e524ac73a761859e86e01251e7d17525
