+# FastScript
+
+FastScript is a proprietary, source-available JavaScript-first full-stack runtime built around a first-class `.fs` file format.
+
+It is designed to feel easier to read than heavyweight stack combinations while staying compatible with the JavaScript ecosystem developers already use.
+
+- Write normal JavaScript or TypeScript in `.fs`
+- Write pages, APIs, middleware, jobs, and database workflows in `.fs`
 - Keep compatibility with normal `.js` packages and modules
+- Treat FastScript-specific syntax as optional sugar, not a requirement
+- Govern compatibility claims through a source-of-truth support matrix
 - Compile to optimized JavaScript for production deployment
-- Deploy the same app to Node, Vercel, or Cloudflare
-- Run one quality gate for formatting, linting, typecheck, tests, smoke checks, benchmarks, and interop
-
-FastScript v2.0 is built for product teams that want a simpler, faster full-stack pipeline without surrendering compatibility with the ground-level JavaScript platform.
-
-## What FastScript Is
-
-FastScript combines:
-
-1. A source language: `.fs`
-2. A compiler and CLI
-3. A full-stack app runtime
-4. A deployment pipeline for multiple targets
-5. A bridge back to standard JavaScript and TypeScript export paths
-
-That means a single project can contain:
-
-- UI pages
-- API handlers
-- middleware
-- database migrations
-- seed scripts
-- jobs and workers
-- deploy adapters
-
-## Core Positioning
-
-FastScript is built to be:
-
-- Simpler than stacking TypeScript + framework + glue code everywhere
-- Faster to build and ship than heavier pipeline combinations
-- Compatible with existing JavaScript libraries
-- Friendly to AI-assisted generation because the language surface is smaller and more regular
-- Easy to migrate into and easy to export back out
-
-## Current Measured Numbers
-
-These are the real measured numbers from the current repo benchmark report:
-
+- Deploy the same app to Node, Vercel, or Cloudflare
+- Run one quality gate for formatting, linting, typecheck, tests, smoke checks, benchmarks, and interop
+- Build on the same language/runtime foundation that powers the future FastScript AI coding products
+
+FastScript v3 is built for product teams that want a simpler, faster full-stack pipeline without surrendering compatibility with the ground-level JavaScript platform.
+
+The v3 product contract is simple:
+
+- `.fs` is a universal JS/TS container for the FastScript runtime
+- FastScript-specific syntax is optional sugar
+- valid JS/TS failures in `.fs` are FastScript compatibility bugs
+- the speed story is earned by the runtime/compiler/toolchain and backed by release proof artifacts

-## Install
-
-### Option 1: npm install
-
-```bash
-npm install -g fastscript
-fastscript --help
-```
-
-The published npm package is generated as a self-contained release bundle, so the CLI works without a second private npm package.
-
-### Option 2: local repo workflow
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/lordolami/fastscript.git
-cd fastscript
-npm install
-```
-
-### Option 3: global CLI link for daily use
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/lordolami/fastscript.git
-cd fastscript
-npm install
-npm link
-fastscript --help
-```
-
-This gives you a global `fastscript` command backed by your local clone.
-
-The source repos remain split for development, but npm users get a clean self-contained public package.
-
-To use the CLI directly during development:
-
-```bash
-node ./src/cli.mjs --help
-```
-
-If you publish or link the package locally, the command is:
-
-```bash
-fastscript
-```
-
-## Quick Start
-
-### Create a project
-
-```bash
-npm run create
-```
-
-Or use one of the included templates:
-
-```bash
-npm run create:fullstack
-npm run create:startup-mvp
-```
-
-### Run locally
-
-```bash
-npm run dev
-```
-
-### Link the CLI globally from your clone
-
-```bash
-npm link
-fastscript create my-app
-```
-
-### Build for production
-
-```bash
-npm run build
-```
-
-### Start the production build
-
-```bash
-npm run start
-```
-
-### Run the full quality gate
-
-```bash
-npm run qa:all
-```
-
-## The `.fs` Language At A Glance
-
-FastScript keeps normal JavaScript module structure and adds a few core forms:
-
-- `fn` for functions
-- `state` for named stateful declarations
-- `~name = ...` for lightweight reactive-style declarations
-- type syntax that can be stripped at compile time
-- file conventions for pages, APIs, and runtime hooks
-
-### Example: basic page
-
-```fs
-export default fn Page() {
-  state title = "FastScript"
-  ~subtitle = "Write once. Ship anywhere."
-
-  return `
-    <section>
-      <h1>${title}</h1>
-      <p>${subtitle}</p>
-    </section>
-  `
-}
-```
-
-### Example: load data for a page
-
-```fs
-export async fn load(ctx) {
-  const user = await ctx.db.get("users", ctx.params.id)
-  if (!user) return { notFound: true }
-  return { user }
-}
-
-export default fn Page({ user }) {
-  return `<h1>${user.name}</h1>`
-}
-```
-
-### Example: API route
-
-```fs
-export const schemas = {
-  POST: { sku: "string", qty: "int" }
-}
-
-export async fn POST(ctx) {
-  const body = await ctx.input.validateBody(schemas.POST)
-  const order = { id: Date.now().toString(36), ...body }
-  ctx.db.collection("orders").set(order.id, order)
-  ctx.queue.enqueue("send-order-email", { orderId: order.id })
-  return ctx.helpers.json({ ok: true, order })
-}
-```
-
-### Example: middleware
-
-```fs
-export async fn middleware(ctx, next) {
-  ctx.state.requestStartedAt = Date.now()
-
-  if (ctx.url.pathname.startsWith("/private") && !ctx.session?.user) {
-    return ctx.helpers.redirect("/")
-  }
-
-  return next()
-}
-```
-
-### Example: hydration hook for client behavior
-
-```fs
-export function hydrate({ root }) {
-  const button = root.querySelector("[data-action]")
-  if (!button) return
-
-  button.addEventListener("click", () => {
-    console.log("hydrated")
-  })
-}
-```
-
-## Page Contract
-
-A FastScript page can export any of the following:
-
-- `export default fn Page(...)` or `export default function Page(...)`
-- `export async fn load(ctx)` for server-side data loading
-- `export function hydrate({ root, ...ctx })` for client behavior
-- HTTP method handlers like `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`
-
-### Minimal page
-
-```fs
-export default fn Page() {
-  return `<h1>Hello</h1>`
-}
-```
-
-### Page with loader
-
-```fs
-export async fn load(ctx) {
-  return { now: new Date().toISOString() }
-}
-
-export default fn Page({ now }) {
-  return `<p>${now}</p>`
-}
-```
-
-## Routing
-
-FastScript uses file-based routing under `app/pages`.
-
-### Route examples
-
-- `app/pages/index.fs` -> `/`
-- `app/pages/blog/index.fs` -> `/blog`
-- `app/pages/blog/[slug].fs` -> `/blog/:slug`
-- `app/pages/docs/[...slug].fs` -> `/docs/:slug*`
-- `app/pages/[[...slug]].fs` -> optional catch-all
-- `app/pages/blog/[id:int].fs` -> typed param route
-- `app/pages/404.fs` -> not-found page
-- `app/pages/_layout.fs` -> global layout wrapper
-
-## Full-Stack Surface Area
-
-FastScript currently includes first-party support for:
-
-- pages
-- layouts
-- API routes
-- middleware
-- auth/session flows
-- database migrations
-- database seed scripts
-- storage and upload handlers
-- jobs and worker runtime
-- deploy targets
-- benchmark and interop reporting
-- docs indexing and API reference generation
-
-## Interop Story
-
-FastScript is designed to sit on top of the JavaScript ecosystem, not replace it with an isolated wall.
-
-### What works
-
-- normal `.js` dependencies
-- ESM/CJS compatibility checks
-- export from `.fs` to `.js`
-- export from `.fs` to `.ts`
-- migration tooling from page-based JS/TS apps into `.fs`
-
-### Why that matters
-
-Developers should be able to:
-
-1. migrate into FastScript without rewriting the whole world
-2. use existing libraries
-3. export back out when needed
-4. keep real production optionality
-
-## Commands

-
-## Public/Private Boundary
-
-This public repository is the developer-facing FastScript surface. Sensitive compiler/runtime/platform materials now live in the protected private repository `https://github.com/lordolami/fastscript-core-private`. The public repo consumes private-core modules through bridge files and tracks the boundary in `docs/PRIVATE_CORE_SPLIT.md`.
-
-## Canonical Repo
-
-Canonical repo lock:
-
-`github.com/lordolami/fastscript`
-
-The repo lock script is:
-
-```bash
-npm run repo:lock

+
+## Why Teams Pick FastScript
+
+- Smaller client payloads than heavier framework baselines
+- Faster build loops and stricter release gates in one toolchain
+- One runtime-native source container for pages, APIs, jobs, and middleware
+- Package compatibility without giving up a proprietary language/runtime moat
+- A direct path into the next FastScript AI assistant stack
+
+## Why Developers Choose FastScript
+
+FastScript is built for developers who want one system instead of a pile of cooperating tools.
+
+- Write ordinary TS/JS/JSX/TSX in `.fs`
+- Use the same runtime for frontend pages, backend APIs, middleware, jobs, and workers
+- Keep npm packages and ecosystem code while migrating incrementally
+- See exactly what is `proven`, `partial`, `planned`, or `blocked` in the governed support matrix
+- Convert existing route-based codebases safely with dry-run previews, diff artifacts, validation, and rollback
+- Ship through Node, Vercel, or Cloudflare deploy adapters without rebuilding your app around each target

+## The `.fs` Language At A Glance
+
+FastScript keeps normal JavaScript module structure and adds a few core forms:
+
+- `fn` for functions
+- `state` for named stateful declarations
+- `~name = ...` for lightweight reactive-style declarations
+- type syntax that can be stripped at compile time
+- file conventions for pages, APIs, and runtime hooks
+
+### Example: basic page
+
+```fs
+export default fn Page() {
+  state title = "FastScript"
+  ~subtitle = "Write once. Ship anywhere."
+
+  return `
+    <section>
+      <h1>${title}</h1>
+      <p>${subtitle}</p>
+    </section>
+  `
+}
+```
+
+### Example: load data for a page
+
+```fs
+export async fn load(ctx) {
+  const user = await ctx.db.get("users", ctx.params.id)
+  if (!user) return { notFound: true }
+  return { user }
+}
+
+export default fn Page({ user }) {
+  return `<h1>${user.name}</h1>`
+}
+```
+
+### Example: API route
+
+```fs
+export const schemas = {
+  POST: { sku: "string", qty: "int" }
+}
+
+export async fn POST(ctx) {
+  const body = await ctx.input.validateBody(schemas.POST)
+  const order = { id: Date.now().toString(36), ...body }
+  ctx.db.collection("orders").set(order.id, order)
+  ctx.queue.enqueue("send-order-email", { orderId: order.id })
+  return ctx.helpers.json({ ok: true, order })
+}
+```
+
+### Example: middleware
+
+```fs
+export async fn middleware(ctx, next) {
+  ctx.state.requestStartedAt = Date.now()
+
+  if (ctx.url.pathname.startsWith("/private") && !ctx.session?.user) {
+    return ctx.helpers.redirect("/")
+  }
+
+  return next()
+}
+```
+
+### Example: hydration hook for client behavior
+
+```fs
+export function hydrate({ root }) {
+  const button = root.querySelector("[data-action]")
+  if (!button) return
+
+  button.addEventListener("click", () => {
+    console.log("hydrated")
+  })
+}
+```
+
+## Page Contract
+
+A FastScript page can export any of the following:
+
+- `export default fn Page(...)` or `export default function Page(...)`
+- `export async fn load(ctx)` for server-side data loading
+- `export function hydrate({ root, ...ctx })` for client behavior
+- HTTP method handlers like `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`
+
+### Minimal page
+
+```fs
+export default fn Page() {
+  return `<h1>Hello</h1>`
+}
+```
+
+### Page with loader
+
+```fs
+export async fn load(ctx) {
+  return { now: new Date().toISOString() }
+}
+
+export default fn Page({ now }) {
+  return `<p>${now}</p>`
+}
+```
+
+## Routing
+
+FastScript uses file-based routing under `app/pages`.
+
+### Route examples
+
+- `app/pages/index.fs` -> `/`
+- `app/pages/blog/index.fs` -> `/blog`
+- `app/pages/blog/[slug].fs` -> `/blog/:slug`
+- `app/pages/docs/[...slug].fs` -> `/docs/:slug*`
+- `app/pages/[[...slug]].fs` -> optional catch-all
+- `app/pages/blog/[id:int].fs` -> typed param route
+- `app/pages/404.fs` -> not-found page
+- `app/pages/_layout.fs` -> global layout wrapper
+
+## Full-Stack Surface Area
+
+FastScript currently includes first-party support for:
+
+- pages
+- layouts
+- API routes
+- middleware
+- auth/session flows
+- database migrations
+- database seed scripts
+- storage and upload handlers
+- jobs and worker runtime
+- deploy targets
+- benchmark and interop reporting
+- docs indexing and API reference generation
+
+## Interop Story
+
+FastScript is designed to sit on top of the JavaScript ecosystem, not replace it with an isolated wall.
+
+### What works
+
+- normal `.js` dependencies
+- ESM/CJS compatibility checks
+- export from `.fs` to `.js`
+- export from `.fs` to `.ts`
+- migration tooling from page-based JS/TS apps into `.fs`
+
+### Why that matters
+
+Developers should be able to:
+
+1. migrate into FastScript without rewriting the whole world
+2. use existing libraries
+3. export back out when needed
+4. keep real production optionality
+
+## Migration Story
+
+FastScript is meant to meet existing teams where they are:
+
+1. keep your current TS/JS modules
+2. run `npm run migrate -- <path> --dry-run`
+3. inspect `diff-preview.json`, manifests, validation, and fidelity output
+4. convert route-by-route into `.fs`
+5. preserve CSS, assets, and existing libraries
+6. keep authoring normal TS/JS directly in `.fs` after conversion
+
+If valid JS/TS or a real framework pattern fails in `.fs`, that is a FastScript compatibility gap and should be reported through the public compatibility issue lane.

+
+`migrate` now runs strict compatibility-first conversion (rename-only + import extension rewrites + manifest/validation/fidelity reports).  
+Example: `npm run migrate -- app --dry-run`  
+Full proof mode: `npm run migrate -- app --fidelity-level full --fail-on-unproven-fidelity`
+
+Latest trust artifacts are written to `.fastscript/conversion/latest`:
+`conversion-manifest.json`, `diff-preview.json`, `validation-report.json`, `fidelity-report.json`.
+
+Authored `.fs` now accepts normal JS/TS/JSX/TSX-style code directly. Proof artifacts for the current parity contract are written to `.fastscript/proofs/js-ts-syntax-proof.json` and `.fastscript/proofs/fs-parity-matrix.json`.
+The governed compatibility registry and generated support matrix live in `spec/compatibility-registry.json` and `docs/SUPPORT_MATRIX.md`.

+## Contributing
+
+FastScript is evolving quickly. If you contribute:
+
+1. keep the canonical repo lock intact
+2. run `npm run qa:all`
+3. keep `.fs` and `.js` interop working
+4. avoid unnecessary ecosystem lock-in
+5. preserve the language goal: simpler, faster, still grounded in JavaScript
+
+Contribution review does not grant any right to commercially reuse the platform outside the repository license.
+
+## Public/Private Boundary
