  Project inception decisions

  Parent feature hub

Context

Reflection-heavy stacks defer errors to runtime and obscure performance and ABI truth.

Decision

Language and compiler features should expose compile-time metaprogramming (mods, analyzers, codegen hooks) instead of encouraging runtime reflection as a default extension model.

Consequences

Compiler SDK and mods are AOT-oriented; diagnostic parity targets compile-time failure.

Verification anchors

Metaprogramming; compiler mod features under compiler/compiler-mods/.
