The codegen now emits one `__chart_observe!` invocation per observable
atom. The macro fans out at compile time to whichever sinks are enabled:
the in-memory journal (`feature = "journal"`), `defmt` (`trace-defmt`),
`log` (`trace-log`), and/or `tracing` (`trace-tracing`). Trace and
journal share the same vocabulary by construction — they cannot
diverge. With no sink feature on, every site expands to `()` (zero
overhead). Multiple trace backends now compose; previously they were
mutually exclusive.
Trace lines use a logfmt-style format with a `[statechart:Name]` prefix
and `key=value` pairs, machine-parseable and greppable. Twenty verbs
cover every observable atom — entries/exits with begin/end pairs,
actions with kind, durings, transitions with the reason that triggered
them, event lifecycle (received/delivered/dropped/queued/failed),
timers, and termination.
BREAKING CHANGES (chart syntax unchanged; observability surface only):
- `TraceEvent::TransitionFired` now carries `reason: TransitionReason`
showing whether the transition was driven by an event, a timer, or
internal logic.
- New `TraceEvent` variants for phase pairing: `EnterBegan`, `ExitBegan`,
`TransitionComplete`, `EventReceived`.
- Trace prefix changed from `[Name]` to `[statechart:Name]`.
- The chart-level `trace;` keyword is parsed for backwards compatibility
but no longer gates emission.
- `__chart_trace!` / `__chart_journal!` macros removed (doc-hidden).
Verification: 159 integration tests pass, 0 missed mutants, miri 68
tests clean, Creusot 14/14 VCs discharged. Zero overhead confirmed via
`cargo expand` — every observation site expands to `{}` with no sinks
enabled.
Bump workspace version 0.2.0 → 0.3.0.
CHANGELOG: documents the additions in this release —
- `journal` Cargo feature with full TraceEvent enum + machine API
- root state targetable by chart name
- 113 deterministic-flow tests
- verification/ workspace member with mechanical Creusot proofs
- docs/002 formal semantics doc
- README "How a chart behaves" building-block section
- mise + just tooling overhaul (set shell, set script-interpreter)
README: integrates the semantics from docs/002 as eight building-
block rules that build on each other (active path, default-descent,
event bubbling, transitions, up-transition rule, entry/exit
ordering, timer lifecycle, emit / during / termination). Adds an
explicit "what hsmc deliberately does NOT have" table with what to
use instead. New "Verification" section pointing at `just verify`.
No behavior changes for v0.1 / v0.2 charts — every existing chart
compiles unchanged.
Make `just verify` actually invoke Why3 + alt-ergo + z3 against every
Pearlite VC, and fix the mutant + miri pipelines along the way.
Verification crate
- Drop the const-generic CAP types for EventQueue / TimerTable.
Mirror with std::vec::Vec, whose creusot-std specs carry the
proof burden. Capacity behavior is exercised by the runtime's
own unit tests + correspondence tests.
- View impls are #[logic(open)] over a pub field so contracts on
push/pop/etc. can see the link to the inner Vec's @ view.
- 14/14 VCs discharge: EventQueue {new, push, pop, is_empty, len,
clear, Default}; TimerTable {new, len, is_empty, Default};
Entry derives.
- `cargo creusot prove --no-cache` always runs the SMT solvers;
`time` shows ~7s CPU on ~1.2s wall-clock = real parallel work.
Tooling
- verification/mise.toml pins nightly-2025-11-13 + rust-src,
rustc-dev, llvm-tools-preview, rustfmt; declares opam, python,
uv, and the project-local .venv. Inherits root mise.toml's just
+ cargo-* tools.
- just verify clones creusot v0.9.0 to ~/.local/share/hsmc-verify/
and runs the canonical ./INSTALL — that's the only way the
bundled prelude-generator + creusot-rustc actually build.
- just verify --no-cache forces SMT re-runs every time.
- Drop bespoke pin/install of cargo-creusot from mise.toml; the
cargo backend goes through cargo-binstall which can't pin a
multi-bin git workspace at a tag.
Mutants — was missing every JournalSink mutant
- Recipe runs with --features tokio,journal so journal_* and det_*
tests (gated on both) actually execute.
- Add clear_journal_empties_the_journal test in journal_smoke.rs
to kill the JournalSink::clear with-() mutant.
- Remove dead JournalSink::len + is_empty (called nowhere; only
existed as mutation-bait).
Result: 0 missed, 42 caught, 211 unviable (proc-macro emitted
code that mutants can't standalone-compile).
Miri — was hitting the trybuild glob isolation issue
- --exclude hsmc-macros (trybuild ui test isn't UB-relevant)
- --exclude hsmc-verification (different pinned toolchain)
- 66 tests pass under Miri, 0 UB.
Gitignore
- /verif/, /why3find.json, /.why3find/, **/.venv/ — all
regenerated by `just verify`. Repo stays clean of per-machine
prover timings + venv artifacts.
Misc
- Fix root-state targetability: `on(Trig) => <ChartName>;` resolves
to root id 0 in both ir.rs::resolve_transitions and
validate.rs's separate name_map.
- `set shell` and `set script-interpreter` route every justfile
recipe through `mise exec`, so all subshells see the right
Rust + opam + cargo-* tools regardless of how `just` was
invoked. No shebangs anywhere.
Phase 1 — semantics doc
docs/002. hsmc-semantics-formal.md
Phase 2 — deterministic execution journal
hsmc/src/journal.rs (TraceEvent, JournalSink, ActionKind)
hsmc-macros: __chart_journal! emission at every observable site
(entry/exit/action/transition/timer arm-cancel-fire/during/emit/
event delivery/terminate). Per-state during count helpers, stable
chart-hash via FNV-1a. Action observation moved out of run_action
and into call sites so ActionKind is accurate.
Public API on the generated machine: journal(), take_journal(),
clear_journal(), CHART_HASH.
Phase 3 — verification crate (Creusot scaffolding)
verification/{Cargo.toml,mise.toml,requirements.txt,INVARIANTS.md}
verification/src/{event_queue.rs,timer_table.rs} — Pearlite
contracts on simplified mirrors of the runtime types. cargo
creusot generates Coma IR cleanly; VCs not yet discharged.
Correspondence tests drive the verified mirror and the runtime
type with the same op sequences and assert observable parity.
Tests — 113 deterministic-flow tests across 22 files. Each compares a
hand-built expected journal byte-for-byte against actual, anchored
to a spec section: initial entry, lateral/self/up transitions,
bubbling, timers, emit, ordering, durings, step/dispatch
equivalence, root-targeting, current_state, termination.
Tooling — mise.toml (root): stable Rust + cargo subcommands.
verification/mise.toml: pinned nightly-2025-11-13 + opam + python
venv + uv. just verify is fully self-installing.
Bug fix — root state targetable by the chart's own name (e.g.
`on(Trig) => ChartName;`) per spec §"How transitions work".
CHART_HASH — stable FNV-1a fingerprint over the chart's structural
definition; mismatch on replay = different chart.
A transition whose target is already active (an ancestor of the
innermost active state) now unwinds only the subtree strictly below
the target. The target's entry/exit actions do not fire and its
default() does not re-descend — you cannot re-enter a state you never
left. The old behavior could loop infinitely when a child transitioned
to its own parent.
Self-transitions (target == innermost) and lateral transitions are
unchanged. See spec §2.6 and tests §T2.8 / T2.8b / T2.8c.
Also in this release:
* Full workspace justfile (check, test, coverage, mutants, pre-release)
* Unit tests covering all __private internals; `cargo mutants` now exits
clean (38 caught, 178 unviable, 0 missed, 0 timeouts).
* .config/nextest.toml with slow-timeout/terminate-after so hung tests
fail fast rather than wedging cargo-mutants runs.
BREAKING CHANGE: transition-to-ancestor semantics. Machines that relied
on the old re-entry behavior of up-transitions will observe different
exit/entry action sequences.
Add LICENSE-MIT and LICENSE-APACHE at workspace root and in each member package so the dual MIT OR Apache-2.0 license ships in the published .crate.
Fill in publish metadata (authors, repository, homepage, readme, keywords, categories) across the workspace and both members.
Add CHANGELOG.md with a 0.1.0 initial release entry.
Fix clippy lints: unused enumerate index, collapsible if, Default impls for TimerTable, SimRadio, and Ctx, use RangeInclusive::contains.
Exclude examples/microwave_tui.rs from the published package. The file stays in-tree but has known unawaited async log futures that need a dedicated pass before it ships.
Apply cargo fmt across the workspace.
Hierarchical statechart codegen for Rust with:
- during: activities for state-scoped concurrent I/O
- field-list borrowing (split-borrow inside the run loop)
- embassy-first async with tokio support
- STATE_CHART const for tooling/inspection
- examples: microwave, microwave_tui, embassy_full, during_radio
