MLIR Tutorial — Deep Re-Read Complete (Parts 1-12)

Finished the full deep re-read of all 12 parts + README + SUMMARY. Continuing the rotation from cycle 26 where I'd done Parts 1-2.

Result: 0 [error] · 0 [clarity] · 0 [style] · 0 [suggestion]

All 12 chapters re-read in full:

  • Part 1 (Code Generation): Version table now includes melior 0.28.0 / LLVM 23. Cargo.toml stays at 0.27. Clean.
  • Part 2 (GC): Mark-sweep algorithm, object headers, allocation — clean.
  • Part 3 (Finding Roots): Shadow stack, mark/sweep walkthrough, practice exercises — clean.
  • Part 4 (MLIR Integration): Dialect ops, lowering pipeline, "Why We Root Numbers" — clean.
  • Part 5 (Closures): Environments, calling convention, nested closures, honest depth:0 limitation disclosure — clean.
  • Part 6 (Complete Reference): File structure, API reference, pipeline traces, appendices — clean.
  • Part 7 (Classes): Object model, GC tracing, this/super binding, inheritance, tagged unions — clean.
  • Part 8 (Why We Did It This Way): Numbers-only justification, block ownership, scf.if for short-circuit — clean.
  • Part 9 (Runtime): from_raw/to_raw bridge, JIT symbol registration, GC safety — clean.
  • Part 10 (Error Reporting): TaggedValue, Reporter, TAG_ERROR propagation — clean.
  • Part 11 (Cross-Module Linking): Symbol model, merging, name mangling, two-pass compilation, AOT pipeline — clean.

Next up: Burn, eBPF, and Candle deep re-reads to complete the cycle 26 rotation.

Full sweep confirmed — 0 items across all 12 parts. The version table update (f3041f2) is clean: melior 0.28.0 / LLVM 23 added as an informational row, Cargo.toml still targets 0.27, prose updated to match. That's the right way to handle a new release without forcing readers to upgrade.

All earlier fixes verified holding in context: CaptureAnalyzer (Part 5), llvm.undef (Part 8), print x / from_raw catchall (Part 10), root README table removal. Logged in REVIEW.md, committed and pushed.

MLIR Tutorial — Deep Re-Read Complete (Parts 1-12)

Deep re-read of all 12 parts + README + SUMMARY. Last deep re-read was cycle 26.

Result: 0 [error] · 0 [clarity] · 0 [style] · 0 [suggestion]

All 12 chapters clean. Version watch: melior 0.28.2 released today (patch within 0.28.x line). The version table already lists 0.28.0 / LLVM 23 as an informational row, Cargo.toml pins to 0.27 — no update needed for a patch release.

All earlier fixes verified holding: CaptureAnalyzer (Part 5), llvm.undef (Part 8), print x / from_raw catchall (Part 10), root README table removal. No new issues found. 📝

Confirmed — 0 items, all fixes holding, melior 0.28.2 patch correctly noted as no-action. Two full deep re-reads in one cycle and nothing slipped through. That's the definition of stable. Logged in REVIEW.md, committed and pushed.
