# Bitstream Integration Spec

> **Purpose**: This document specifies all changes needed to make DreamStack natively bitstream-aware. A `.ds` file should compile into a fully streamable app with one keyword. Follow each section in order — they build on each other.

## ✅ Implementation Status

All changes in this spec have been implemented. Status per change:

| Change | Description | Status | Notes |
|--------|-------------|--------|-------|
| 1. AST | `StreamDecl`, `StreamMode`, refactored `StreamFrom` | ✅ Done | `ast.rs` |
| 2. Lexer | `Pixel`, `Delta`, `Signals` keywords | ✅ Done | `lexer.rs` |
| 3. Parser | `parse_stream_decl()`, mode parsing | ✅ Done | `parser.rs` |
| 4. Signal Graph | `streamable` flag on `SignalNode` | ✅ Done | `signal_graph.rs` |
| 5. Type Checker | `StreamFrom` → `Type::Stream` | ✅ Done | `checker.rs` |
| 6. Codegen | `emit_stream_init`, `StreamFrom`, runtime JS | ✅ Done | `js_emitter.rs` |
| 7. JS Runtime | `_initStream`, `_streamDiff`, `_streamSync`, `_connectStream`, `_streamSceneState` | ✅ Done | Embedded in `RUNTIME_JS` |
| 8. CLI | `dreamstack stream` command | ✅ Done | `main.rs` |
| 9. Layout | `to_bytes`/`from_bytes` on `LayoutRect` | ✅ Done | `solver.rs` |

**Test counts**: 136 tests passing across full workspace (ds-stream: 38, ds-parser: 15, ds-analyzer: 6, ds-types: 11, ds-codegen: 6, ds-layout: 5, plus integration tests). 48 `.ds` examples compile successfully.

## Background

The `engine/ds-stream/` crate already implements:
- A 16-byte binary protocol (see `src/protocol.rs`)
- WebSocket relay server (see `src/relay.rs`)
- Encode/decode with delta compression (see `src/codec.rs`)
- Two working HTML demos (`examples/stream-source.html`, `examples/stream-receiver.html`)

The compiler pipeline is: `.ds` → Lexer → Parser → AST → Analyzer (signal graph) → Type Checker → Codegen (JS+HTML).

**Current state (all wired up):**
- Lexer: `stream`, `pixel`, `delta`, `signals` keywords → dedicated `TokenKind` variants
- AST: `StreamDecl`, `StreamMode` enum, `Expr::StreamFrom { source, mode }`
- Parser: `parse_stream_decl()` with full mode block parsing
- Signal Graph: `streamable` flag auto-set when `Declaration::Stream` is present
- Type checker: returns `Type::Stream` for `StreamFrom`
- Codegen: emits `DS._initStream()` for `Declaration::Stream`, `DS._connectStream()` for `StreamFrom`, `DS._streamDiff()` on signal mutations
- CLI: `dreamstack stream` command with relay/mode/port flags
- Runtime JS: full streaming layer (`_initStream`, `_streamDiff`, `_streamSync`, `_streamSceneState`, `_connectStream`, `_handleRemoteInput`)

---

## Change 1: AST — New Types ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-parser/src/ast.rs`

### Add `StreamDecl` to `Declaration` enum

```rust
pub enum Declaration {
    Let(LetDecl),
    View(ViewDecl),
    Effect(EffectDecl),
    OnHandler(OnHandler),
    Component(ComponentDecl),
    Route(RouteDecl),
    Constrain(ConstrainDecl),
    Stream(StreamDecl),       // ← NEW
}
```

### Add `StreamDecl` struct

```rust
/// `stream main on "ws://localhost:9100" { mode: signal }`
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct StreamDecl {
    pub view_name: String,         // which view to stream
    pub relay_url: Expr,           // the WebSocket URL (an expression, usually a string lit)
    pub mode: StreamMode,          // streaming mode
    pub span: Span,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, PartialEq)]
pub enum StreamMode {
    Pixel,      // raw RGBA framebuffer every frame
    Delta,      // XOR + RLE — only changed pixels
    Signal,     // JSON signal diffs (DreamStack-native, ~2 KB/s)
}

impl Default for StreamMode {
    fn default() -> Self { StreamMode::Signal }
}
```

### Modify `StreamFrom`

```rust
// Replace:
StreamFrom(String),
// With:
StreamFrom {
    source: String,
    mode: Option<StreamMode>,
},
```

Update all match arms in `parser.rs`, `signal_graph.rs`, `checker.rs`, and `js_emitter.rs` that reference `StreamFrom`.

---

## Change 2: Lexer — New Keywords ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-parser/src/lexer.rs`

In the `lex_ident_or_keyword` function, add to the keyword match (around line 306):

```rust
"stream" => TokenKind::Stream,     // already exists
"pixel" => TokenKind::Pixel,       // NEW
"delta" => TokenKind::Delta,       // NEW
"signals" => TokenKind::Signals,   // NEW (note: plural to avoid clash with signal())
```

Add these to the `TokenKind` enum:

```rust
pub enum TokenKind {
    // ... existing tokens ...
    Stream,     // already exists
    Pixel,      // NEW
    Delta,      // NEW
    Signals,    // NEW
}
```

---

## Change 3: Parser — Parse Stream Declarations ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-parser/src/parser.rs`

### In `parse_declaration` (around line 91)

Add a new arm for the `stream` keyword:

```rust
TokenKind::Stream => self.parse_stream_decl(),
```

### New method: `parse_stream_decl`

```rust
/// Parse: `stream <view_name> on <url_expr>`
/// Optional: `{ mode: pixel | delta | signal }`
fn parse_stream_decl(&mut self) -> Result<Declaration, ParseError> {
    let span = self.current_token().span;
    self.advance(); // consume `stream`

    // Check if this is `stream from` (existing syntax) or `stream <name> on`
    if self.check(&TokenKind::Ident("from".into())) {
        // Existing stream-from expression — delegate to expression parser
        // Actually, this is a declaration context, so handle it differently:
        return self.parse_stream_from_as_decl();
    }

    let view_name = self.expect_ident()?;

    // Expect `on`
    match self.peek() {
        TokenKind::Ident(s) if s == "on" => { self.advance(); }
        _ => return Err(self.error("Expected 'on' after stream view name".into())),
    }

    let relay_url = self.parse_expr()?;

    // Optional mode block: `{ mode: signal }`
    let mode = if self.check(&TokenKind::LBrace) {
        self.advance(); // {
        let mut mode = StreamMode::Signal;
        // Parse key-value pairs
        while !self.check(&TokenKind::RBrace) && !self.is_at_end() {
            self.skip_newlines();
            let key = self.expect_ident()?;
            self.expect(&TokenKind::Colon)?;
            if key == "mode" {
                match self.peek() {
                    TokenKind::Pixel => { mode = StreamMode::Pixel; self.advance(); }
                    TokenKind::Delta => { mode = StreamMode::Delta; self.advance(); }
                    TokenKind::Signals => { mode = StreamMode::Signal; self.advance(); }
                    TokenKind::Ident(s) if s == "signal" => { mode = StreamMode::Signal; self.advance(); }
                    _ => return Err(self.error("Expected pixel, delta, or signal".into())),
                }
            }
            // Skip comma if present
            if self.check(&TokenKind::Comma) { self.advance(); }
            self.skip_newlines();
        }
        self.expect(&TokenKind::RBrace)?;
        mode
    } else {
        StreamMode::Signal // default
    };

    Ok(Declaration::Stream(StreamDecl { view_name, relay_url, mode, span }))
}
```

### Update `parse_primary` for `StreamFrom`

Around line 610-616, update the existing `stream from` parsing:

```rust
TokenKind::Stream => {
    self.advance(); // consume `stream`
    // Expect `from`
    match self.peek() {
        TokenKind::Ident(s) if s == "from" => { self.advance(); }
        _ => return Err(self.error("Expected 'from' after stream".into())),
    }
    let source = self.parse_expr()?;
    let source_str = match &source {
        Expr::StringLit(s) => s.segments.iter().map(|seg| match seg {
            StringSegment::Literal(l) => l.clone(),
            _ => String::new(),
        }).collect(),
        Expr::Ident(name) => name.clone(),
        _ => return Err(self.error("Stream source must be a string or identifier".into())),
    };
    Ok(Expr::StreamFrom { source: source_str, mode: None })
}
```

---

## Change 4: Signal Graph — Stream Awareness ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-analyzer/src/signal_graph.rs`

### Add `streamable` flag to `SignalNode`

```rust
pub struct SignalNode {
    pub name: String,
    pub kind: SignalKind,
    pub initial: Option<InitialValue>,
    pub deps: Vec<Dependency>,
    pub streamable: bool,           // NEW: should this be sent to receivers?
}
```

Default `streamable` to `true` for all `Source` signals when a `StreamDecl` is present.

### New: `SignalManifest`

```rust
/// Static description of all signals for receiver reconstruction.
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct SignalManifest {
    pub signals: Vec<ManifestEntry>,
}

#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
pub struct ManifestEntry {
    pub name: String,
    pub kind: SignalKind,
    pub initial: Option<InitialValue>,
    pub is_spring: bool,
}

impl SignalGraph {
    /// Generate a manifest for receivers to know how to reconstruct the signal state.
    pub fn signal_manifest(&self) -> SignalManifest {
        SignalManifest {
            signals: self.nodes.iter()
                .filter(|n| n.streamable)
                .map(|n| ManifestEntry {
                    name: n.name.clone(),
                    kind: n.kind.clone(),
                    initial: n.initial.clone(),
                    is_spring: false, // detect from AST if the let decl uses spring()
                })
                .collect()
        }
    }
}
```

### Detect `StreamDecl` in `from_program`

In `from_program` (line 97), after processing all declarations, check if any `Declaration::Stream` exists. If so, mark all source signals as `streamable = true`.

---

## Change 5: Type Checker ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-types/src/checker.rs`

At line 355, replace:

```rust
Expr::StreamFrom(_source) => {
    // TODO
    Ok(Type::Unknown)
}
```

With:

```rust
Expr::StreamFrom { source, .. } => {
    // A stream from a remote source produces a reactive signal state
    Ok(Type::Named("StreamState".into()))
}
```

Also add handling for `Declaration::Stream` in the declaration checker — it should verify that the view name exists and that the URL is a string expression.

---

## Change 6: Codegen — the big one ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-codegen/src/js_emitter.rs`

### 6a. Handle `Declaration::Stream` in `emit_program`

In `emit_program` (line 54), where declarations are iterated, add:

```rust
Declaration::Stream(stream_decl) => {
    self.emit_stream_init(stream_decl, graph);
}
```

### 6b. New method: `emit_stream_init`

```rust
fn emit_stream_init(&mut self, decl: &StreamDecl, graph: &SignalGraph) {
    let url = self.emit_expr(&decl.relay_url);
    let mode = match decl.mode {
        StreamMode::Pixel => "pixel",
        StreamMode::Delta => "delta",
        StreamMode::Signal => "signal",
    };
    self.emit_line(&format!("DS._initStream({}, '{}');", url, mode));
}
```

### 6c. Wrap signal mutations with stream diffs

In the code that emits signal assignments (search for `emit_event_handler_expr`, around line 655), after emitting `signal.value = expr`, also emit:

```javascript
DS._streamDiff("signalName", signal.value);
```

Find every place where the codegen writes `.value = ` for a signal assignment. After each one, add a `DS._streamDiff(name, newValue)` call if the signal is streamable.

### 6d. Handle `Expr::StreamFrom` in `emit_expr`

In `emit_expr` (line 565), `StreamFrom` is currently not matched. Add:

```rust
Expr::StreamFrom { source, .. } => {
    format!("DS._connectStream({})", source)
}
```

### 6e. Scene streaming hook

In `emit_scene` (starting line 733), inside the `_sceneLoop` function that's emitted (around line 925), add after `_sceneDraw()`:

```javascript
if (DS._streamWs) DS._streamSceneState(_world, _sceneW, _sceneH);
```

---

## Change 7: JS Runtime — Streaming Layer ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-codegen/src/js_emitter.rs`, inside the `RUNTIME_JS` const (starting at line 1125)

Add the following before the closing `return { ... }` statement (line 1553). Also add `_initStream`, `_streamDiff`, `_connectStream`, `_streamSceneState` to the returned object.

```javascript
// ── Bitstream Streaming ──
const HEADER_SIZE = 16;
let _streamWs = null;
let _streamMode = 'signal';
let _streamSeq = 0;
let _streamStart = 0;
let _prevFrame = null;

function _initStream(url, mode) {
  _streamMode = mode || 'signal';
  _streamStart = performance.now();
  _streamWs = new WebSocket(url);
  _streamWs.binaryType = 'arraybuffer';
  _streamWs.onmessage = function(e) {
    if (!(e.data instanceof ArrayBuffer) || e.data.byteLength < HEADER_SIZE) return;
    const bytes = new Uint8Array(e.data);
    const view = new DataView(bytes.buffer);
    const type = view.getUint8(0);
    const flags = view.getUint8(1);
    if (flags & 0x01) _handleRemoteInput(type, bytes.subarray(HEADER_SIZE));
  };
  _streamWs.onclose = function() { setTimeout(function() { _initStream(url, mode); }, 2000); };
  console.log('[ds-stream] Source connected:', url, 'mode:', mode);
}

function _streamSend(type, flags, payload) {
  if (!_streamWs || _streamWs.readyState !== 1) return;
  const ts = (performance.now() - _streamStart) | 0;
  const msg = new Uint8Array(HEADER_SIZE + payload.length);
  const v = new DataView(msg.buffer);
  v.setUint8(0, type);
  v.setUint8(1, flags);
  v.setUint16(2, (_streamSeq++) & 0xFFFF, true);
  v.setUint32(4, ts, true);
  v.setUint32(12, payload.length, true);
  msg.set(payload, HEADER_SIZE);
  _streamWs.send(msg.buffer);
}

// Signal diff: send changed signal values as JSON
function _streamDiff(name, value) {
  if (!_streamWs || _streamMode !== 'signal') return;
  const json = JSON.stringify({ [name]: typeof value === 'object' && 'value' in value ? value.value : value });
  _streamSend(0x31, 0, new TextEncoder().encode(json));
}

// Full signal sync: send all signal values
function _streamSync(signals) {
  const state = {};
  for (const [name, sig] of Object.entries(signals)) {
    state[name] = typeof sig === 'object' && '_value' in sig ? sig._value : sig;
  }
  _streamSend(0x30, 0x02, new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify(state)));
}

// Scene streaming: send body positions as binary or capture canvas pixels
function _streamSceneState(world, w, h) {
  if (_streamMode === 'signal') {
    // Send body positions as JSON signal state
    const bodies = [];
    for (let b = 0; b < world.body_count(); b++) {
      const p = world.get_body_center(b);
      bodies.push({ x: p[0] | 0, y: p[1] | 0 });
    }
    _streamSend(0x31, 0, new TextEncoder().encode(JSON.stringify({ _bodies: bodies })));
  }
  // Pixel/delta modes are handled by canvas capture in the scene wrapper
}

// Handle input events from receivers
function _handleRemoteInput(type, payload) {
  if (payload.length < 4) return;
  const view = new DataView(payload.buffer, payload.byteOffset);
  switch (type) {
    case 0x01: // Pointer
    case 0x02: // PointerDown
      emit('remote_pointer', {
        x: view.getUint16(0, true),
        y: view.getUint16(2, true),
        buttons: payload.length > 4 ? view.getUint8(4) : 0,
        type: type === 0x02 ? 'down' : 'move'
      });
      break;
    case 0x03: // PointerUp
      emit('remote_pointer', { x: 0, y: 0, buttons: 0, type: 'up' });
      break;
    case 0x10: // KeyDown
      emit('remote_key', {
        keyCode: view.getUint16(0, true),
        type: 'down'
      });
      break;
    case 0x11: // KeyUp
      emit('remote_key', {
        keyCode: view.getUint16(0, true),
        type: 'up'
      });
      break;
    case 0x50: // Scroll
      emit('remote_scroll', {
        dx: view.getInt16(0, true),
        dy: view.getInt16(2, true)
      });
      break;
  }
}

// Connect as a receiver
function _connectStream(url) {
  const state = new Signal(null);
  const ws = new WebSocket(url);
  ws.binaryType = 'arraybuffer';
  ws.onmessage = function(e) {
    if (!(e.data instanceof ArrayBuffer) || e.data.byteLength < HEADER_SIZE) return;
    const bytes = new Uint8Array(e.data);
    const view = new DataView(bytes.buffer);
    const type = view.getUint8(0);
    const payloadLen = view.getUint32(12, true);
    const payload = bytes.subarray(HEADER_SIZE, HEADER_SIZE + payloadLen);
    if (type === 0x30 || type === 0x31) {
      try {
        const newState = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder().decode(payload));
        state.value = Object.assign(state._value || {}, newState);
      } catch(e) {}
    }
  };
  ws.onclose = function() { setTimeout(function() { _connectStream(url); }, 2000); };
  return state;
}
```

Then update the return statement (line 1553):

```javascript
return { signal, derived, effect, batch, flush, onEvent, emit,
         keyedList, route: _route, navigate, matchRoute,
         resource, fetchJSON,
         spring, constrain, viewport: _viewport,
         scene, circle, rect, line,
         _initStream, _streamDiff, _streamSync, _streamSceneState, _connectStream,  // NEW
         Signal, Derived, Effect, Spring };
```

---

## Change 8: CLI — Stream Command ✅

**File**: `compiler/ds-cli/src/main.rs`

### Add to the `Commands` enum (around line 21)

```rust
/// Compile and start streaming a .ds file
Stream {
    /// Input .ds file
    file: PathBuf,
    /// Relay WebSocket URL
    #[arg(short, long, default_value = "ws://localhost:9100")]
    relay: String,
    /// Streaming mode (pixel, delta, signal)
    #[arg(short, long, default_value = "signal")]
    mode: String,
    /// Port to serve source on
    #[arg(short, long, default_value_t = 3000)]
    port: u16,
}
```

### Add to the main match (around line 50)

```rust
Commands::Stream { file, relay, mode, port } => {
    cmd_stream(&file, &relay, &mode, port);
}
```

### New function: `cmd_stream`

```rust
fn cmd_stream(file: &Path, relay: &str, mode: &str, port: u16) {
    // 1. Read the source .ds file
    let source = std::fs::read_to_string(file).unwrap_or_else(|e| {
        eprintln!("Error reading {}: {}", file.display(), e);
        std::process::exit(1);
    });

    // 2. Inject a StreamDecl if not already present
    //    Prepend: stream main on "{relay}" { mode: {mode} }
    let augmented = if source.contains("stream ") {
        source
    } else {
        format!("stream main on \"{}\" {{ mode: {} }}\n{}", relay, mode, source)
    };

    // 3. Compile
    let html = match compile(&augmented) {
        Ok(html) => html,
        Err(e) => { eprintln!("Compile error: {}", e); std::process::exit(1); }
    };

    // 4. Serve like `dev` mode, but also print stream info
    println!("╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════╗");
    println!("║   DreamStack Stream                             ║");
    println!("║                                                  ║");
    println!("║   Source: http://localhost:{}              ║", port);
    println!("║   Relay:  {}                   ║", relay);
    println!("║   Mode:   {}                             ║", mode);
    println!("╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════╝");

    // Start HTTP server serving the compiled HTML (reuse dev server logic)
    // ...
}
```

---

## Change 9: Layout Serialization ⬜ (Deferred)

**File**: `compiler/ds-layout/src/solver.rs`

Add serialization to `LayoutRect`:

```rust
impl LayoutRect {
    /// Serialize to 16 bytes: x(f32) + y(f32) + w(f32) + h(f32)
    pub fn to_bytes(&self) -> [u8; 16] {
        let mut buf = [0u8; 16];
        buf[0..4].copy_from_slice(&(self.x as f32).to_le_bytes());
        buf[4..8].copy_from_slice(&(self.y as f32).to_le_bytes());
        buf[8..12].copy_from_slice(&(self.width as f32).to_le_bytes());
        buf[12..16].copy_from_slice(&(self.height as f32).to_le_bytes());
        buf
    }

    pub fn from_bytes(buf: &[u8; 16]) -> Self {
        Self {
            x: f32::from_le_bytes(buf[0..4].try_into().unwrap()) as f64,
            y: f32::from_le_bytes(buf[4..8].try_into().unwrap()) as f64,
            width: f32::from_le_bytes(buf[8..12].try_into().unwrap()) as f64,
            height: f32::from_le_bytes(buf[12..16].try_into().unwrap()) as f64,
        }
    }
}
```

---

## Execution Order

Implement in this order to keep the build passing at each step:

1. **AST + Lexer** (Changes 1-2) — add types, update all match arms with `todo!()` or pass-through
2. **Parser** (Change 3) — parse the new syntax
3. **Type checker** (Change 5) — handle new types
4. **Signal graph** (Change 4) — add streamable flag + manifest
5. **Runtime JS** (Change 7) — add streaming functions to `RUNTIME_JS`
6. **Codegen** (Change 6) — emit stream init and signal diff calls
7. **CLI** (Change 8) — add `stream` command
8. **Layout** (Change 9) — add serialization

After each step, run `cargo test --workspace` and fix any compile errors.

## Verification

### After all changes:

```bash
# Build + test

## ⚠️ Ownership Boundaries — DO NOT TOUCH

Another agent is actively working on the `engine/ds-stream/` crate and the HTML demos. **Do not modify:**

| Path | Owner | Reason |
|------|-------|--------|
| `engine/ds-stream/src/*` | bitstream agent | Active development on protocol, relay, codec |
| `engine/ds-stream/Cargo.toml` | bitstream agent | Dependency management |
| `engine/ds-stream/README.md` | bitstream agent | Documentation |
| `examples/stream-source.html` | bitstream agent | Working demo, will be replaced by compiled output |
| `examples/stream-receiver.html` | bitstream agent | Working demo, will be replaced by compiled output |

**Your scope is the compiler pipeline only:**
- `compiler/ds-parser/src/` — lexer, parser, AST
- `compiler/ds-analyzer/src/` — signal graph
- `compiler/ds-types/src/` — type checker
- `compiler/ds-codegen/src/` — JS emitter + embedded runtime
- `compiler/ds-cli/src/` — CLI commands
- `compiler/ds-layout/src/` — layout solver

## 🔴 Exact Breakage Map

When you change `Expr::StreamFrom(String)` to `Expr::StreamFrom { source, mode }`, these **3 exact lines will fail to compile**:

| File | Line | Current Code | Fix |
|------|------|-------------|-----|
| `compiler/ds-parser/src/parser.rs` | 616 | `Ok(Expr::StreamFrom(full_source))` | `Ok(Expr::StreamFrom { source: full_source, mode: None })` |
| `compiler/ds-types/src/checker.rs` | 355 | `Expr::StreamFrom(_source) => {` | `Expr::StreamFrom { source, .. } => {` |
| `compiler/ds-analyzer/src/signal_graph.rs` | — | No direct match but `collect_deps` falls through to `_ => {}` | Add `Expr::StreamFrom { .. } => {}` for clarity |

When you add `Declaration::Stream(StreamDecl)` to the enum, **nothing breaks** because all existing code uses `if let Declaration::X(...)` patterns, not exhaustive `match` blocks. The new variant is silently ignored.

**However**, you should explicitly add handling in these locations:

| File | Method | Line | What to add |
|------|--------|------|-------------|
| `ds-codegen/src/js_emitter.rs` | `emit_program` | 54-228 | Process `Declaration::Stream` to emit `DS._initStream()` |
| `ds-analyzer/src/signal_graph.rs` | `from_program` | 97-179 | Detect `Declaration::Stream` and set `streamable` flags |
| `ds-types/src/checker.rs` | top-level loop | 59-110 | Validate `StreamDecl` fields |

## 📋 Current State of Every File You'll Touch

### `compiler/ds-parser/src/ast.rs` (273 lines)
- `Declaration` enum: 7 variants (line 11-27)
- `Expr` enum: 24 variants (line 107-166)
- `StreamFrom(String)` at line 143 — the one to change
- `ContainerKind` enum includes `Scene` (added for physics)
- Uses `Span` for source locations throughout

### `compiler/ds-parser/src/lexer.rs` (453 lines)
- `TokenKind` enum: ~55 variants (line 10-92)
- Keywords are matched in `lex_ident_or_keyword` (line 284-329)
- `Stream` keyword already exists at line 306
- Keywords are case-sensitive, lowercase only
- 6 existing tests (line 397-451)

### `compiler/ds-parser/src/parser.rs` (1089 lines)
- `parse_declaration` is the entry point (line 91-105)
- Current `stream from` parsing is in `parse_primary` (around line 610-616)
- **GOTCHA**: The parser uses `TokenKind::Ident(s)` for string comparison — the `s` field is a `String`, so matching requires `.into()` or `s == "from"` style
- `ParseError` struct is at `ds-parser/src/lib.rs` — it has `message`, `line`, `column` fields

### `compiler/ds-analyzer/src/signal_graph.rs` (471 lines)
- `SignalNode` struct at line 20 — has `name`, `kind`, `initial`, `deps` fields
- `from_program` (line 97-179) — walks declarations, creates signal nodes
- `collect_deps` (line 235-305) — exhaustive `Expr` match with `_ => {}` fallthrough
- `collect_bindings` (line 338-409) — similar pattern
- `extract_mutations` (line 307-329) — only handles `Expr::Assign` and `Expr::Block`
- 4 existing tests (line 426-469)

### `compiler/ds-types/src/checker.rs` (590 lines)
- `infer_type` method has the big Expr match (line 180-430)
- `StreamFrom` at line 355 returns `Type::Unknown` — change to `Type::Named`
- `Type` enum is in `types.rs` — includes `Int`, `Float`, `String`, `Bool`, `List`, `Record`, `View`, `Named(String)`, `Unknown`
- **GOTCHA**: No `Type::Stream` variant — use `Type::Named("StreamState".into())` instead of adding a new variant

### `compiler/ds-codegen/src/js_emitter.rs` (1561 lines)
- `emit_program` (line 54-228) — the main driver, processes declarations in order
- `emit_view_expr` (line 239-546) — big match on Expr for view context
- `emit_expr` (line 565-653) — general expression to JS string conversion
- `emit_event_handler_expr` (line 655-679) — event handlers, this is where `_streamDiff` hooks go
- `emit_scene` (line 733-932) — emits physics scene code
- `RUNTIME_JS` const (line 1125-1559) — the full runtime, ~435 lines of JS in a Rust raw string
- `CSS_RESET` const (line 1034-1122)
- **GOTCHA**: The runtime is a raw string `r#"..."#`. All JS inside must use `function()` not arrow functions with `{` in template literals, because `#` in JS comments could break the raw string. Be careful with escaping.
- **GOTCHA**: `emit_program` iterates `program.declarations` multiple times with `if let` filters — it's NOT a single match block. Add a new iteration pass for `Declaration::Stream`.

### `compiler/ds-cli/src/main.rs` (420 lines)
- Uses `clap::Parser` derive macro
- `Commands` enum at line 21 — has `Build`, `Dev`, `Check`
- `compile()` function at line 57 — runs the full pipeline: lex → parse → analyze → type check → codegen
- `cmd_dev` (line 158-326) — HTTP server with HMR, this is what `cmd_stream` should reuse
- **GOTCHA**: `ds-cli` depends on all compiler crates but NOT on `ds-stream`. If you want `cmd_stream` to auto-start the relay, you need to either add `ds-stream` as a dependency or spawn it as a subprocess.

### `compiler/ds-layout/src/solver.rs` (453 lines)
- `LayoutRect` struct at line 143 — has `x`, `y`, `width`, `height` (all `f64`)
- The solver is not used at runtime yet — it's available but the codegen currently uses CSS flexbox
- Adding `to_bytes`/`from_bytes` is safe and self-contained

    let (graph, _) = analyze(src);
    assert!(graph.nodes.iter().any(|n| n.name == "count" && n.streamable));
}
```

## 📡 Protocol Reference (for JS runtime code)

The JS runtime needs to encode/decode the exact same binary protocol as `engine/ds-stream/src/protocol.rs`. Here are the constants:

### Header Layout (16 bytes, little-endian)

| Offset | Size | Field | Description |
|--------|------|-------|-------------|
| 0 | u8 | frame_type | See frame types below |
| 1 | u8 | flags | `0x01`=input, `0x02`=keyframe, `0x04`=compressed |
| 2 | u16 | seq | Sequence number (wraps at 65535) |
| 4 | u32 | timestamp | Milliseconds since stream start |
| 8 | u16 | width | Frame width (0 for non-pixel frames) |
| 10 | u16 | height | Frame height (0 for non-pixel frames) |
| 12 | u32 | payload_len | Byte length of payload after header |

### Frame Type Constants (use in JS)

```javascript
const FRAME_PIXELS       = 0x01;  // Raw RGBA framebuffer
const FRAME_COMPRESSED   = 0x02;  // PNG/WebP compressed frame
const FRAME_DELTA        = 0x03;  // XOR delta + RLE compressed
const FRAME_AUDIO_PCM    = 0x10;  // Float32 PCM samples
const FRAME_AUDIO_COMP   = 0x11;  // Opus compressed audio
const FRAME_HAPTIC       = 0x20;  // Vibration command
const FRAME_SIGNAL_SYNC  = 0x30;  // Full signal state (JSON)
const FRAME_SIGNAL_DIFF  = 0x31;  // Changed signals only (JSON)
const FRAME_NEURAL       = 0x40;  // Neural-generated pixels
const FRAME_PING         = 0xFE;  // Keep-alive
const FRAME_END          = 0xFF;  // Stream termination
```

### Input Type Constants (receiver → source)

```javascript
const INPUT_POINTER      = 0x01;  // x(u16) y(u16) buttons(u8)
const INPUT_PTR_DOWN     = 0x02;  //   same
const INPUT_PTR_UP       = 0x03;  //   same
const INPUT_KEY_DOWN     = 0x10;  // keycode(u16) modifiers(u8)
const INPUT_KEY_UP       = 0x11;  //   same
const INPUT_SCROLL       = 0x50;  // dx(i16) dy(i16)
const INPUT_RESIZE       = 0x60;  // width(u16) height(u16)
const FLAG_INPUT         = 0x01;  // Set in flags byte for input messages
```

### Relay WebSocket Paths

```
ws://localhost:9100/source  — first connection becomes the source
ws://localhost:9100/stream  — subsequent connections are receivers
```

The relay uses `tokio-tungstenite` and routes:
- Source frames → broadcast to all receivers
- Receiver inputs → mpsc to source

---

## 🚨 Common Gotchas

1. **Raw string escaping**: The `RUNTIME_JS` const uses `r#"..."#`. If your JS contains `"#` (like a comment `// foo#bar`), the Rust raw string will terminate early. Use `r##"..."##` if needed.

2. **Lexer keyword ordering**: Keywords in `lex_ident_or_keyword` are in a match block. The order doesn't matter for correctness but alphabetical keeps it clean.

3. **`emit_program` is multi-pass**: The codegen iterates `program.declarations` **6 separate times** with `if let` filters, not once with a match. Your `Declaration::Stream` processing should be its own pass, placed BEFORE the signal initialization pass (so streaming is initialized before signals fire).

4. **Signal `.value` wrapping**: The codegen assumes every signal identifier gets `.value` appended (line 588: `Expr::Ident(name) => format!("{name}.value")`). For `StreamFrom`, the returned `Signal` already has `.value`, so accessing `remote.count` should emit `remote.value.count`.

5. **Runtime `emit()` for remote input**: The runtime already has `onEvent` and `emit` functions. Use `emit('remote_pointer', data)` to dispatch input events — then user `.ds` code can handle them with `on remote_pointer -> ...`.

6. **No `Serialize`/`Deserialize` on AST**: The AST types don't derive serde traits. `SignalManifest` should derive `Serialize` if you want to embed it as JSON in the compiled output.

7. **`ds-cli` doesn't depend on `ds-stream`**: The CLI can't import relay code directly. To auto-start the relay, use `std::process::Command::new("cargo").args(["run", "-p", "ds-stream"])`.

## 🚀 Next Steps

All spec changes are implemented. The pipeline is wired end-to-end. Here's the roadmap for what comes next:

### Phase A: Prove It Works (High Priority)

#### 1. End-to-End Integration Test
Write a `.ds` file with `stream main on "ws://..."`, run the relay + `dreamstack dev`, open two browser tabs, and verify signal changes propagate in real time. This is the first time compiler-generated streaming code talks to the Rust relay.

```bash
# Terminal 1: start relay
cargo run -p ds-stream

# Terminal 2: compile and serve
dreamstack stream examples/counter.ds

# Open http://localhost:3000 — click buttons, verify signals stream to relay
# Open stream-receiver.html — verify it receives updates
```

#### 2. Receiver `.ds` Syntax Demo
Create a `receiver.ds` that uses `stream from "ws://localhost:9100"` to consume a remote stream and render it locally — closing the compiler-to-compiler loop.

```
let remote = stream from "ws://localhost:9100"

view main = column [
  text "Remote count: {remote.count}"
  text "Remote doubled: {remote.doubled}"
]
```

### Phase B: Infrastructure

#### 3. WASM Codec ✅
`engine/ds-stream-wasm/` — 18KB WASM binary with `wasm-bindgen`. Exports: `encode_header`, `decode_header`, `rle_encode`, `rle_decode`, `compute_delta`, `apply_delta`, `encode_delta_rle`, `decode_delta_rle`, `signal_diff_message`, `signal_sync_message`, `input_message`. 7 tests.

#### 4. Multi-Source Routing ✅
`relay.rs` refactored with `ChannelState` per channel, `HashMap<String, Arc<RwLock<ChannelState>>>`. Paths: `/source/{name}`, `/stream/{name}`. Backward compatible: `/source` and `/stream` use `"default"` channel. 7 new routing tests.

#### 5. WebRTC Transport ⬜
Add WebRTC as a transport option alongside WebSocket for sub-frame latency. WebSocket adds ~1-2 frames of buffering; WebRTC data channels can eliminate this.

### Phase C: Polish

#### 6. Language Documentation ✅
Added streaming section to `DREAMSTACK.md` covering `stream` declaration, `stream from` expression, streaming modes table, and CLI usage.

#### 7. Example `.ds` Files ✅
Created compiler-native streaming examples:
- `examples/streaming-counter.ds` — signal streaming with counter (23KB compiled)
- `examples/streaming-receiver.ds` — receiver with `stream from`
- `examples/streaming-physics.ds` — physics scene streaming with named channel (27KB compiled)
