Summary

This PR completes Husk's standard library implementation, adding comprehensive I/O operations, console macros, and 12 new methods across strings and arrays with full closure support for functional programming.

🎯 Major Achievements

  • Complete I/O Library: File operations, directories, stdin/stdout, async support
  • Macro-based Console I/O: print\!, println\!, eprint\!, eprintln\! with format strings
  • Complete String Library: 9 essential methods implemented
  • Functional Array Operations: 5 methods with closure support
  • Full Closure Integration: Environment capture, higher-order functions
  • Dual Mode Support: Works in both interpreter and transpiler
  • Comprehensive Testing: All methods tested with edge cases

📁 I/O Operations Implemented

File Operations:

  • read_file(path) - Read entire file as string → Result<string, Error>
  • read_file_bytes(path) - Read file as byte array → Result<Array<int>, Error>
  • read_lines(path) - Read file as line array → Result<Array<string>, Error>
  • write_file(path, content) - Write string to file → Result<(), Error>
  • write_file_bytes(path, data) - Write bytes to file → Result<(), Error>
  • append_file(path, content) - Append to file → Result<(), Error>

Directory Operations:

  • create_dir(path) / create_dir_all(path) - Create directories → Result<(), Error>
  • remove_dir(path) / remove_dir_all(path) - Remove directories → Result<(), Error>
  • read_dir(path) - List directory contents → Result<Array<DirEntry>, Error>
  • exists(path) / is_file(path) / is_dir(path) - Path utilities → bool

Console I/O:

  • read_line() - Read from stdin → Result<string, Error>

Async File Operations (Transpiler only):

  • All file operations have _async variants returning Promise<Result<T, Error>>
  • Uses Node.js fs.promises API for true async behavior

🖨️ Console Macros Implemented

All macros support format strings with {} placeholders:

print\!("Hello {}", name);           // Print to stdout, returns bytes written
println\!("Count: {}", 42);          // Print to stdout with newline  
eprint\!("Error: {}", message);      // Print to stderr, returns bytes written
eprintln\!("Debug: {}", value);      // Print to stderr with newline
format\!("Template: {}", data);      // Format string, returns formatted result

Transpiler output:

  • print\!process.stdout.write()
  • println\!console.log()
  • eprint\!process.stderr.write()
  • eprintln\!console.error()
  • format\! → Template literals

📚 String Methods Implemented

  • is_empty() - Check if string is empty
  • bytes() - Convert to UTF-8 byte array
  • trim_start() / trim_end() - Remove leading/trailing whitespace
  • splitn(n, pattern) - Split with limit
  • split_once(pattern) - Split at first occurrence → Option<(string, string)>
  • lines() - Split by line endings
  • slice(start, end) - Substring with negative index support
  • char_at(index) - Safe character access → Option<string>
  • repeat(count) - Repeat string n times

🔄 Array Methods Implemented

  • sort() - Sort array elements with type-aware comparison
  • map(closure) - Transform elements with closure → Array<U>
  • filter(closure) - Filter elements with predicate → Array<T>
  • find(closure) - Find first matching element → Option<T>
  • position(closure) - Find index of first match → Option<usize>

🚀 Closure Support Features

// Environment capture
let threshold = 5;
let filtered = numbers.filter(|x| x > threshold);

// Complex transformations  
let processed = data
    .filter(|x| x % 2 == 0)
    .map(|x| x * x + 1);

// Search operations
match items.find(|item| item.active) {
    Option::Some(found) => process(found),
    Option::None => handle_not_found()
}

💾 I/O Examples

// File operations with proper error handling
match read_file("config.json") {
    Result::Ok(content) => parse_config(content),
    Result::Err(error) => eprintln\!("Failed to read config: {}", error)
}

// Directory operations
create_dir_all("logs/2024")?;
let entries = read_dir(".")?;
for entry in entries {
    if entry.is_file {
        println\!("File: {}", entry.name);
    }
}

// Console I/O with format strings  
print\!("Enter name: ");
let name = read_line()?;
println\!("Hello, {}\!", name);

// Async operations (transpiler mode)
let content = read_file_async("large_file.txt").await?;
process_data(content);

📖 Documentation Added

- Add builtin_methods.rs with MethodRegistry for extensible method dispatch
- Implement chars() method that returns array<string> (single-char strings)
- Update semantic analyzer to recognize all string methods
- Add comprehensive test for ASCII characters (Unicode pending lexer fix)
- Create standard library plan document with Rust-inspired API design
- Document known lexer issue with UTF-8/Unicode characters

The method registry pattern replaces hardcoded match statements with
a flexible, extensible system for built-in methods on primitive types.

Move all historical planning and design documents to docs/history/ to
keep the main docs folder focused on current, active documentation.

The history folder preserves important design decisions and evolution
of the project while decluttering the main documentation directory.

…tion

- Add TranspilerMethodRegistry alongside interpreter's MethodRegistry
- Implement transpiler-specific method implementations for all string/array methods
- Update transpiler to use registry pattern instead of hardcoded matches
- Add transpiler test for chars() method that passes
- Document method name conflict limitation in transpiler

The transpiler now uses the same extensible pattern as the interpreter,
making it easy to add new methods. Both execution modes produce identical
output for the chars() method.

Note: Transpiler checks string methods first, then array methods, since
it lacks type information. This works well as JavaScript uses similar
method names across types (e.g., .length).

- Track byte positions instead of character positions in lexer
- Use ch.len_utf8() to advance read_position by correct byte length
- Fix character iteration to work from byte positions, not char indices
- Enable and add comprehensive Unicode tests for chars() method

The lexer was using character indices as byte positions when slicing
strings, causing panics with multi-byte UTF-8 characters. Now properly
tracks byte offsets throughout, making all Unicode operations work
correctly.

Tests now pass for:
- Accented characters (café)
- Emojis (👋🎉✨)
- Chinese characters (世界)
- Mixed scripts and special characters

This commit introduces a major refactoring of how built-in methods are handled:

1. Created MethodSignatureRegistry for semantic analyzer
   - Allows semantic analyzer to query available methods dynamically
   - No more hardcoded method validation in semantic.rs
   - Supports proper type checking with parameter and return types

2. Added new array methods with proper implementations
   - is_empty(): returns bool
   - reverse(): returns new reversed array
   - push(): returns new array with element(s) added
   - pop(): returns tuple of (new_array, Option<popped_value>)
   - Updated first(), last(), get() to return Option types

3. Made the system extensible
   - Adding new methods now only requires updating builtin_methods.rs
   - Semantic analyzer automatically knows about new methods
   - Both interpreter and transpiler use the same registry pattern

4. Fixed borrow checker issues
   - Clone signatures when needed to avoid borrowing conflicts
   - Proper separation of concerns between registries

This makes the standard library implementation much more maintainable
and allows for easy addition of new methods in the future.
