# Statifier

[![CI](https://github.com/riddler/statifier-ex/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/riddler/statifier-ex/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

A W3C SCXML-conformant statecharts engine for Elixir. Ground-up rewrite of
[statifier](https://github.com/riddler/statifier) v1.x.

**Status: pre-alpha.** The architecture is settled (see
[docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) and [docs/adr/](docs/adr/README.md));
the engine is being built against the SCION and W3C conformance corpora from day
one.

## Why a rewrite

v1 works, but its interpreter re-derived the SCXML semantics instead of porting
the spec's algorithm, and the divergences account for nearly all of its remaining
conformance failures. v2 is:

- a **literal port of W3C SCXML Appendix D** - same functions, same names
- a **pure functional core** returning effects - one semantics for every API,
  sessions and timers layered on top
- **predicator as the datamodel** - safe, non-evaluative expressions; no
  ECMAScript, no eval
- built **corpus-first** - 186+ SCION/W3C conformance tests and a
  forward-only regression ratchet inherited from v1, with the generator
  committed this time

## Installation

Add `statifier` to your dependencies:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:statifier, "~> 2.0"}
  ]
end
```

Releases follow [SemVer](https://semver.org); [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md)
is the upgrade briefing, and its `[2.0.0]` section is written as a migration
document for 1.x users. (The pre-release SHA-pinning contract ended with
2.0.0 - [ADR-0066](docs/adr/0066-publishes-2-0-0-ending-the-sha-pinning-contract.md).)
Persisted position and recording blobs refuse with a typed error on a
format-version or chart-identity mismatch rather than misreading.

## Development

```bash
mix deps.get
mix quality --profile loop   # fast inner loop
mix quality                  # full gate (required green before commit)
```
