Fix diamond includes: allow same file in multiple branches - #726
Merged
Conversation
Red evidence for two include defects seen on wfl 26.9.2. When two files
both `include from` the same shared file, the second one fails while
being analyzed ("'shout' is not a function") because actions already in
the enclosing scope were seeded into its analyzer as plain variables, and
even a direct double include re-runs the file into the same scope
("Variable 'shout' has already been defined at line 0").
Adds a Rust integration test (diamond, direct double include, include
inside an action body per call, include already visible from an outer
scope, genuine cycle still rejected) and a gated TestPrograms program with
its fixture files under tests/fixtures/modules/diamond/.

Two defects, one hiding the other, made any second file that used an action from an earlier include fail: 1. The interpreter seeded every enclosing-scope binding into an included file's analyzer as a plain variable, actions included. Calling one of them then hit the fatal "'x' is not a function" error. The scope is now snapshotted as typed variables plus action signatures (snapshot_parent_scope), and the analyzer registers the actions as real function symbols (register_parent_actions) with their true parameter lists, so calls resolve and a same-name definition is treated as an overload under the existing rules. 2. Re-including a file re-ran it into the same scope, colliding with its own earlier definitions. Environment now records the canonical paths `include from` has completed in a scope; an include whose file is already visible from the current scope (there or on an ancestor) is a no-op. Only a file that ran to completion is recorded, so a failed include can be retried. A genuine cycle is still rejected. `load module` is unchanged. Docs: new "Including the same file more than once (diamond includes)" section in Docs/04-advanced-features/modules.md, limitation and summary updated. Dev diary entry under History/dev-diary/2026/.

Red evidence for four findings raised in review of the diamond-include change: a loop-body include must run again in each recycled iteration scope; a side-effect-only file must keep running on every include; an already-visible include must be a no-op even at the import-depth ceiling; and a `load module` file that redefines an outer action must be rejected at analysis time, before its earlier statements run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018917NeaHViFzeZTQYcTNn5
- Environment::clear also clears the include record, so a recycled loop scope does not skip an include whose definitions it no longer has. - The already-visible no-op is decided before the import-depth ceiling is charged: a no-op never enters another file. - A file is recorded as included only when it installed at least one definition in the scope. A side-effect-only file keeps running on every include, so no existing program changes behavior; the docs and diary now describe the rule in terms of definitions. - `load module` analysis sees outer actions as callable but rejects a same-name definition up front (the isolated runtime scope would reject it anyway, after the module's earlier statements had run). - The four-file diamond example from the docs now lives under TestPrograms/docs_examples/modules/diamond/ and is registered in the manifest; the shared leaf runs all five layers, the three dependent files run parse, lint, and real execution (single-file analysis reports a cross-file action as a non-fatal warning with a nonzero exit).

Summary
Fixes a critical bug where a file included from multiple branches (a "diamond" include pattern) would fail with a semantic error on the second branch. The interpreter now correctly handles files included multiple times into the same scope by treating subsequent includes as no-ops when the file's definitions are already visible.
Changes
Root causes addressed:
Parent-scope actions were seeded as variables, not functions. The
extract_parent_variablesmethod converted all runtime bindings (including actions) into plain variables for the analyzer. This caused calls to inherited actions to fail with "'X' is not a function" errors in included files. Fixed by introducingsnapshot_parent_scopewhich separates variables and actions, andregister_parent_actionsin the analyzer to seed actions as real function symbols with their true signatures.Re-including a file re-ran it into the same scope. Once (1) is fixed, the second arrival at a shared file would execute its definitions again, colliding with the first. Fixed by tracking included files per scope in
Environment::included_filesand skipping includes whose files are already visible in the current scope or any ancestor scope.Key implementation details:
ParentScopeSnapshotstruct separates typed variables and action signatures for cleaner analyzer seedingEnvironment::has_included()checks if a file was already included in this scope or any visible ancestorEnvironment::mark_included()records successful includes (only files that ran to completion)when errorblocks)Analyzer::register_parent_actions()seeds parent actions as function symbols with proper overload handlingsnapshot_parent_scopewalks the scope chain once, tracking seen names to respect shadowing rulesBehavior change: A file included twice into the same scope now runs once instead of twice.
