Why. Go's deliverable-as-design-property lesson: "ship one file" sold Go before its type system did. EigenScript can have it at VM speed today without waiting on ouroboros going public or its partial AOT envelope — and the tape-carrying variant creates a deliverable no incumbent has: an executable bug report that replays deterministically.
What.
eigenscript --bundle app.eigs out: embed the script plus its resolved eigs_modules tree into a copy of the runtime binary (appended archive + self-exec detection on startup).- Optional attached trace tape: the bundle runs as a self-replaying reproducer (
out --replay).
- Document AOT (ouroboros) as the native-speed tier of the same story in the bundle docs.
tests/test_bundle.sh; bundle the data-pipeline example as the demo.
Depends on: the tape-format versioning decision before the tape-attaching variant ships (bundles outlive binaries by design).
Acceptance. A bundled example runs on a machine with no EigenScript checkout; bundle-with-tape replays byte-identically; suite covers script+modules+tape variants.
Effort: weeks. Source: 2026-07-04 survey (embedding/deployment dimension).
