Summary

This PR includes significant improvements to the Gleam language binding, developer experience, and infrastructure:

Gleam Binding Enhancements

  • Parser improvements: Module doc comments, block expressions, list patterns, todo/panic expressions, proper operator precedence (7-level)
  • Tokenizer alignment with glexer: Float operators, new keywords (auto, delegate, derive, echo, etc.), comment tokens, discard name pattern
  • AST alignment with glance: Span type, BinaryOperator enum, Field type, Statement type, new Expr/Pattern variants
  • Pretty printer: Wadler-style code generation using pretty crate
  • Roundtrip testing: Full Gleam → IR V4 → Gleam roundtrip infrastructure with V4 object wrapper serialization
  • Parse stage output: Emits parsed AST to .morphir/out/<project>/parse/<module>.json

Developer Experience

  • Dev mode launcher scripts: morphir.sh and morphir.ps1 now support running from source via:
    • --dev CLI flag
    • MORPHIR_DEV=1 environment variable
    • local-dev in .morphir-version file
    • dev_mode = true in morphir.toml [morphir] section
  • CI environment support: Auto-detects CI workspace directories (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.)
  • morphir self dev: New command to show dev mode status and configuration

VFS Improvements

  • Contract documentation: Clear documentation for Vfs trait semantics
  • MemoryVfs consistency: exists() now returns true for directories (matching OsVfs/std::path::Path::exists())

Documentation

  • Contributor guides (architecture, development, extension system)
  • Tutorials (getting started, Gleam, configuration, complete workflow)
  • Generated CLI docs, man pages, and shell completions

Test plan

  • cargo test -p morphir-gleam-binding - Unit tests pass
  • Roundtrip tests verify Gleam → IR V4 → Gleam correctness
  • cargo clippy - No warnings
  • cargo fmt - Properly formatted
  • Pre-push hooks pass (lint, format, docs generation)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Update the Getting Started installation section with working commands:
- mise: use github:finos/morphir-rust backend instead of registry
- cargo-binstall: add --git flag since not published to crates.io
- Add manual download option linking to GitHub Releases
- List all supported platforms
Add a launcher script that acts as both installer and version manager
for morphir, similar to Mill's approach.

Features:
- Auto-download: Downloads morphir binary on first run
- Version pinning: Supports .morphir-version and morphir.toml files
- Version override: Use +0.1.0 syntax for explicit version
- Multiple backends: mise > cargo-binstall > GitHub releases > cargo
- Self commands: upgrade, list, which, install, prune, update

Scripts:
- scripts/morphir.sh - Unix (bash) launcher
- scripts/morphir.ps1 - Windows (PowerShell) launcher
- scripts/install.sh - Unix bootstrap installer
- scripts/install.ps1 - Windows bootstrap installer

Also includes:
- Jekyll setup with Poole theme for documentation site
- mise tasks for local Jekyll development (docs:serve)

Add entries for:
- OS files (Thumbs.db)
- IDE/Editor files (.idea, .vscode, swap files)
- Environment files (.env, .envrc)
- Root node_modules/
- Morphir launcher local cache
Binary/CLI projects should commit Cargo.lock to ensure:
- Reproducible builds for contributors

  - install.md: Detailed installation guide
  - cli/: Auto-generated CLI reference with nesting
  - ir-migrate.md: IR migration guide
- Update docs generator to add just-the-docs front matter
- CLI commands now nest properly in sidebar navigation
- Add logo, favicon, and icon assets from morphir repo
- Create custom color scheme matching morphir.finos.org:
  - Light mode: #2e8555 (green)
  - Dark mode: #25c2a0 (teal)

The IR migration from Classic to V4 format was still using Classic-style
array naming (e.g., ["word", "parts"]) instead of V4 canonical naming
(kebab-case strings like "word-parts").

Changes:
- Add V4Name newtype wrapper that serializes as kebab-case string
- Update V4 structs (ConstructorDefinition, ConstructorArg, TypeDefinition)
  to use V4Name instead of Name for proper serialization
- Add comprehensive type/value expression converters:
  - convert_type_expr_to_v4() for Classic array -> V4 object wrapper format
  - convert_value_expr_to_v4() for value expressions with canonical FQNames
  - convert_pattern_to_v4() and convert_literal_to_v4() for patterns/literals
  - extract_fqname_from_classic() for canonical "pkg/path:mod#name" format
- Update extract_type_params() to return Vec<V4Name>
- Update convert_constructor_to_v4() to use V4Name for names

The V4 output now correctly shows:
- Constructor names: "close-deal" instead of ["close", "deal"]
- Type params: ["comparable-node"] strings instead of [[...]] arrays
- FQNames: "morphir/sdk:set#set" canonical format
- Type expressions: {"Variable": {"name": "a"}} object wrapper format
Rename the V4 string-serialized name type from V4Name to Name for a cleaner API:
- V4 types now use `v4::Name` (serializes as kebab-case string)
- Classic types use `naming::Name` (aliased as ClassicName in v4.rs)

This makes V4 code more natural since `Name` is the expected type name,
while making it clear that Classic format uses a different representation.
Restructure naming so that V4 format (kebab-case string) is the default:

- `naming::Name` now serializes as kebab-case string ("my-type-name")
- `classic::ClassicName` wraps Name and serializes as array (["my", "type", "name"])
- `v4::Name` is now just a re-export of `naming::Name`
- Both formats support bidirectional conversion via From/Into

This makes V4 the default going forward, with ClassicName available
for backward compatibility when working with Classic IR.

Deserialization remains flexible - both formats accept either
string or array input for seamless migration.
Update the Format Differences section to document the compact V4 format:

Type expressions:
- Variables: bare name string ("a")
- References (no args): bare FQName string
- References (with args): {"Reference": {"fqname": ..., "args": [...]}}
- Records: {"Record": {fields}} without wrapper

Value expressions:
- Variables: {"Variable": "name"}
- References: {"Reference": "fqname"}
- Records: {"Record": {fields}}

Also update the LCR example to show compact format output.
Changed Reference with type arguments from object format:
  {"Reference": {"fqname": "pkg:mod#name", "args": [...]}}

To array format:
  {"Reference": ["pkg:mod#name", arg1, arg2, ...]}

The first element is the FQName, followed by type arguments. This is
more compact and easier to read/write.
Adds --expanded flag to `morphir ir migrate` command that outputs
the expanded (non-compact) V4 format:

Compact (default):
- Variable: "a" (bare string)
- Reference (no args): "pkg:mod#name" (bare FQName)
- Reference (with args): {"Reference": ["pkg:mod#name", arg1, ...]}

Expanded (--expanded):
- Variable: {"Variable": "a"}
- Reference: {"Reference": {"fqname": "pkg:mod#name", "args": [...]}}

This is useful for debugging, tooling compatibility, and when a more
explicit format is needed.
Change expanded Variable format from {"Variable": "a"} to
{"Variable": {"name": "a"}} for consistency with other expanded
type expressions.

Added comprehensive tests for both compact and expanded formats
for Variable and Reference type expressions.

  • The VFS trait documentation states that exists() should return true for directories, but the previous implementation in MemoryVfs only checked files. The updated implementation now correctly checks both files and directories by iterating through all stored paths to find prefixes. However, this could be inefficient for large filesystems with many files.

Consider maintaining a separate set of known directories to avoid O(n) iteration on every exists() call for directories.

The error handling in this compile function silently catches and logs errors when emitting parse stage JSON, but continues execution. This means parse stage output failures are treated as warnings rather than errors. If parse stage output is critical for debugging or tooling integration, this could hide important failures.

Consider making emit_parse_stage failures more visible or providing a configuration option to make them fatal errors.

The compile command reads the entire format.json file back into memory after writing it, then includes it in the ir_modules response. For large projects, this could cause memory issues as the IR is essentially duplicated in memory.

Consider either: 1) returning a reference/path to the written file instead of the full content, or 2) keeping the IR in memory and avoiding the write-then-read cycle if it's needed immediately.
