-# NAIDE
-
-**Node AI Development Environment** — A programming language designed for AI-speed code generation that transpiles to Node.js.
-
-NAIDE is built on three principles: one way to write everything (zero ambiguity), keyword-driven intent (the first token decides meaning), and minimal token count (fewer tokens = faster AI generation). It includes built-in declarations for servers, databases, authentication, file uploads, WebSockets, job queues, testing, and more — all with zero external dependencies.
-
-Two syntax modes:
-
-- **NAIDE** (`.naide`) — Human-readable, ~40% fewer tokens than JavaScript
-- **NAIDE-X** (`.nx`) — AI-only readability, ~80% fewer tokens than JavaScript
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-npm install -g naider
-```
-
-## Quick Start
-
-```bash
-# Create a new project
-naide init my-app
-cd my-app
-npm install
-npm run dev
-```
-
-Or write a file directly:
-
-```python
-# app.naide
-server app port 3000:
-  get "/":
-    ret {message: "Hello from NAIDE"}
-```
-
-```bash
-naide app.naide
-```
-
-## CLI
-
-```bash
-naide <file>                  # Run a .naide or .nx file
-naide                         # Start interactive REPL
-naide repl                    # Start interactive REPL
-naide init [dir]              # Scaffold a new project
-naide build [dir] [outdir]    # Transpile all files to JavaScript
-naide check <files...>        # Type-check without running
-naide fmt <files...>          # Format NAIDE files
-naide lsp                     # Start Language Server (LSP)
-naide vscode                  # Install VS Code extension
-naide deploy [dir]            # Generate Dockerfile for deployment

-naide --emit <file>           # Print generated JavaScript
-naide -o <out.js> <file>      # Write JavaScript to file
-naide --mid <file.nx>         # Show intermediate NAIDE v1 (debug X mode)
-naide --ast <file>            # Print AST
-naide --tokens <file>         # Print token stream
-```
-
-### REPL
-
-```
-$ naide
-NAIDE REPL v1.9.0 — type NAIDE code, see JavaScript output
-Type .exit to quit, .eval to toggle eval mode
-
->>> str name = "hello"
-const name = "hello";
-
->>> fn add(int a, int b) -> int:
-...   ret a + b
-...
-function add(a, b) {
-  return a + b;
-}
-```
-
-Type `.eval` to switch to evaluation mode (runs the code instead of showing JS).
-
-### Playground
-
-Open `playground/index.html` in a browser (via a local server) for a live in-browser transpiler with examples and token count comparison.
-
-### Benchmark
-
-```bash
-node benchmark/compare.js
-```
-

-
-## Language Reference
-
-### Variables
-
-```python
-str name = "hello"          # immutable (const)
-int count = 42
-num price = 9.99
-bool active = true
-list items = [1, 2, 3]
-map config = {host: "localhost"}
-any data = null
-
-mut int counter = 0          # mutable (let)
-mut str label = "init"
-```
-
-Types: `str`, `int`, `num`, `bool`, `list`, `map`, `any`, `json`, `void`
-
-### String Interpolation
-
-```python
-str greeting = "Hello {name}, you have {count} items"
-```
-
-Double-quoted strings with `{expr}` are auto-interpolated.
-
-### Functions
-
-```python
-fn add(int a, int b) -> int:
-  ret a + b
-
-fn greet(str name, str prefix = "Hello"):
-  log "{prefix}, {name}!"
-
-fn sum(...int nums) -> int:
-  mut int total = 0
-  each n in nums:
-    total += n
-  ret total
-
-fn.async fetchUser(str id) -> map:
-  any res = await fetch("/api/users/{id}")
-  ret await res.json()
-```
-
-### Control Flow
-
-```python
-if count > 10:
-  log "many"
-elif count > 5:
-  log "some"
-else:
-  log "few"
-
-str size = if count > 10 then "big" else "small"
-```
-
-### Loops
-
-```python
-each item in items:
-  log item
-
-each key, val in config:
-  log "{key}: {val}"
-
-for i in 0..10:
-  log i
-
-while active:
-  log "running"
-  active = false
-```
-
-### Pattern Matching
-
-```python
-match status:
-  "ok": log "success"
-  "error": log "failed"
-  _: log "unknown"
-```
-
-### Error Handling
-
-```python
-try:
-  data = await fetchData(url)
-fail e:
-  log.error e.message
-ensure:
-  log "request completed"
-```
-
-`ensure:` is NAIDE's `finally` — the block always runs, whether the `try` succeeds or fails. `fail` is optional:
-
-```python
-try:
-  conn = await openConnection()
-  ret await conn.query("SELECT 1")
-ensure:
-  conn.close()
-```
-
-### Type Checking
-
-```python
-if typeof data == "string":
-  log "is string"
-
-if err instanceof TypeError:
-  log "type error"
-```
-
-`typeof` returns the type as a string. `instanceof` checks if a value is an instance of a class/constructor.
-
-### Classes
-
-```python
-model User:
-  str name
-  str email
-  int age = 0
-
-  fn greet() -> str:
-    ret "Hi, I'm {self.name}"
-
-model Admin extends User:
-  str role = "admin"
-  fn permissions() -> list:
-    ret ["read", "write", "delete"]
-```
-
-### Pipe Operator
-
-```python
-list result = data
-  |> filter((x) => x.active)
-  |> map((x) => x.name)
-  |> sort()
-```
-
-### Imports / Exports
-
-```python
-use express
-use {readFile, writeFile} from "fs/promises"
-use axios from "axios"
-
-pub fn helper() -> str:
-  ret "exported"
-pub str VERSION = "1.0.0"
-```
-
-## Server & API Features
-
-All features below are zero-dependency — the runtime is bundled with the package.
-
-### server — Express App
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  get "/":
-    ret {message: "hello"}
-  post "/api/data" (req, res):
-    ret req.body
-  put "/api/data/:id" (req, res):
-    ret {updated: true}
-  del "/api/data/:id":
-    ret {deleted: true}
-  patch "/api/data/:id" (req, res):
-    ret {patched: true}
-```
-
-### schema — Data Models
-
-```python
-schema User:
-  id       auto
-  name     str required min(2) max(50)
-  email    str required email unique
-  age      int optional min(0) max(150)
-  role     enum("admin", "user") default("user")
-  joined   timestamp auto
-```
-
-Types: `str`, `int`, `num`, `bool`, `auto` (UUID), `timestamp`, `enum(...)`
-Modifiers: `required`, `optional`, `min(n)`, `max(n)`, `email`, `url`, `unique`, `auto`, `default(val)`
-
-### db — Persistent Storage
-
-```python
-db "data/"
-```
-
-Schemas auto-persist to JSON files (`data/User.json`, etc.). Without `db`, data is in-memory only.
-
-### crud — Auto-generated REST Endpoints
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  crud "/api/users" User
-```
-
-Generates GET (list + by-ID), POST, PUT, DELETE with validation. Built-in pagination, search, and sort:
-
-```
-GET /api/users?page=2&limit=10&q=john&sort=name&order=asc
-```
-
-Response: `{ data: [...], total, page, limit, pages }`
-
-### validate — Request Validation
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  validate "/api/users" User
-  post "/api/users" (req, res):
-    user = UserStore.create(req.body)   # body is pre-validated
-    ret user
-```
-
-Auto-validates POST/PUT/PATCH bodies against the schema. Returns `400` with error details if invalid. Validated data replaces `req.body`.
-
-### auth — JWT Authentication
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  auth JWT_SECRET:
-    protect "/api/*"
-    public "/api/auth/*"
-
-  post "/api/auth/login" (req, res):
-    token = auth.sign({id: user.id})
-    ret {token}
-```
-
-### cors / limit / cookie / session
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  cors "*"                    # CORS middleware
-  limit "/api/*" 100 "1m"    # rate limiting (100 req/min)
-  cookie                     # cookie parser → req.cookies
-  session "my-secret"        # cookie sessions → req.session
-```
-
-### upload — File Uploads
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  upload "/api/upload" "avatar" (req, res):
-    ret {filename: req.file.filename, size: req.file.size}
-```
-
-Zero-dependency multipart parser. `req.file` = `{filename, contentType, data, size}`.
-
-### view — Template Rendering
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  view "./views"
-  get "/":
-    ret.render "home" {title: "Welcome", items: ["a", "b"]}
-```
-
-Reads `.html` files with `{{variable}}`, `{{if key}}...{{/if}}`, `{{each item in list}}...{{/each}}`.
-
-### sse — Server-Sent Events
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  sse "/events"
-  post "/api/notify" (req, res):
-    sse.broadcast req.body
-    ret {ok: true}
-```
-
-`sse.send(data)`, `sse.broadcast(data)`, `sse.count`.
-
-### cache — Response Caching
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  cache "/api/*" "5m"
-```
-
-Caches GET responses in memory with TTL. Sets `X-Cache: HIT/MISS`.
-
-### ws — WebSocket
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  ws "/chat":
-    on "connect":
-      send({type: "welcome"})
-    on "message" (data):
-      broadcast(data)
-    on "close":
-      log "client left"
-```
-
-Built-in `send(data)` and `broadcast(data)`. Requires `npm install ws`.
-
-### group — Route Groups
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  group "/api/v1":
-    get "/users":
-      ret users
-    post "/users" (req, res):
-      ret req.body
-```
-
-### mid — Named Middleware
-
-```python
-fn logger(req, res, next):
-  log req.method, req.url
-  next()
-
-server app port 3000:
-  mid logger               # apply globally
-  mid logger "/api"        # apply to path only
-```
-
-### Route-Level Middleware
-
-Apply middleware to specific routes with bracket syntax:
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  get "/admin" [authCheck] (req, res):
-    ret {admin: true}
-
-  post "/api/data" [auth, logger, validator] (req, res):
-    ret req.body
-```
-
-Compiles to `app.get("/admin", authCheck, (req, res) => { ... })`.
-
-### static — Serve Files
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  static "/public"
-```
-
-### error — Error Handler
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  error (err, req, res):
-    log.error err.message
-    ret.status 500 {error: "Internal error"}
-```
-
-### openapi — Auto-Generated API Docs
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  openapi "/docs"
-```
-
-Generates an OpenAPI 3.1 JSON spec from your schemas, served at the specified path.
-
-### Response Helpers
-
-```python
-ret {data: items}                        # JSON (default)
-ret.status 404 {error: "nope"}          # status code
-ret.redirect "/login"                    # redirect
-ret.redirect 301 "/new-url"             # redirect with status
-ret.html "<h1>Hello</h1>"               # HTML
-ret.text "pong"                          # plain text
-ret.file "/path/to/file"                # send file
-ret.download "/path/to/file.zip"        # file download
-ret.download "/file.zip" "custom.zip"   # download with filename
-ret.render "template" {data}            # render template (requires view)
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-Built-in test syntax using Node.js test runner:
-
-```python
-test "user creation":
-  user = UserStore.create({name: "Alice", email: "alice@test.com"})
-  assert user.name == "Alice"
-  assert user.email == "alice@test.com"
-
-test "math":
-  assert 1 + 1 == 2
-  assert 10 > 5
-```
-
-`assert a == b` generates `assert.strictEqual` for better error messages. Run with `node --test`.
-
-### Mock / Spy (Test Utilities)
-
-```python
-fn.async main():
-  # Create a mock function
-  any mock = createMock()
-  mock(1, 2)
-  mock("hello")
-  log mock.callCount()        # 2
-  log mock.calledWith(1, 2)   # true
-
-  # Mock with return value
-  mock.returns(42)
-  log mock()                  # 42
-
-  # Spy on an existing method
-  any spy = createSpy(obj, "method")
-  obj.method("arg")
-  log spy.callCount()         # 1
-  spy.restore()               # restores original method
-```
-
-`createMock(fn?)` — create a mock function with `.calls`, `.callCount()`, `.calledWith(...)`, `.returns(val)`, `.impl(fn)`, `.reset()`.
-`createSpy(obj, method)` — wraps an existing method with a mock. `.restore()` reverts it.
-
-## Job Queue
-
-In-memory async job queue for background processing:
-
-```python
-queue jobs:
-  job "sendEmail" (data):
-    log "sending to {data.to}"
-  job "resize" (data):
-    log "resizing {data.path}"
-
-server app port 3000:
-  post "/api/notify" (req, res):
-    jobs.add("sendEmail", {to: req.body.email})
-    ret {queued: true}
-```
-
-## Scheduled Tasks & Events
-
-```python
-every "5m":
-  log "cleanup running"
-
-watch User.create (event):
-  log "new user: {event.data.name}"
-```
-
-Intervals: `"30s"`, `"5m"`, `"1h"`, `"1d"`.
-`watch` connects to `crud` events automatically.
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-```python
-env:
-  PORT       int default(3000)
-  JWT_SECRET str required
-  DB_URL     str default("data/")
-```
-
-Variables become constants. Missing `required` vars exit with an error.
-
-## Built-in Functions
-
-```python
-str id = uuid()                          # UUID
-str hashed = hash("password")            # scrypt hash
-bool ok = verify("password", hashed)     # timing-safe verify
-str token = sign({id: 1})                # JWT (uses auth secret)
-str token = sign({id: 1}, "my-secret")   # JWT (explicit secret)
-```
-
-Auto-imported from the runtime when used.
-
-## HTTP Client
-
-```python
-fn.async getUsers() -> any:
-  any users = await api.get("https://api.example.com/users")
-  ret users
-
-fn.async createUser(map data) -> any:
-  any result = await api.post("https://api.example.com/users", data)
-  ret result
-```
-
-Methods: `api.get(url)`, `api.post(url, body)`, `api.put(url, body)`, `api.del(url)`, `api.raw(url, opts)`.
-
-## AI / LLM Integration
-
-Built-in AI client — zero dependencies, auto-detects provider from API key:
-
-```python
-fn.async main():
-  # Simple prompt
-  str answer = await ai.ask("Explain NAIDE in one sentence")
-
-  # Structured JSON output
-  map result = await ai.json("List 3 colors", {colors: ["string"]})
-
-  # Multi-turn chat
-  list msgs = [{role: "user", content: "Hi"}, {role: "assistant", content: "Hello!"}, {role: "user", content: "What is 2+2?"}]
-  str reply = await ai.chat(msgs)
-
-  # With options
-  str answer2 = await ai.ask("hello", {model: "gpt-4o", maxTokens: 100})
-```
-
-Set `AI_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` env var. Provider auto-detected: `sk-ant-*` → Anthropic, otherwise OpenAI-compatible.
-
-### AI Streaming
-
-```python
-fn.async main():
-  each chunk in await ai.stream("Write a poem"):
-    log chunk
-```
-
-Returns an async iterator of text chunks — works with SSE for real-time chat UIs.
-
-### Embeddings & Vector Search (RAG)
-
-```python
-fn.async main():
-  # Generate embeddings
-  list vec = await ai.embed("hello world")
-  list vecs = await ai.embed(["hello", "world"])
-
-  # Cosine similarity
-  num score = ai.similarity(vec1, vec2)
-```
-
-Built-in vector store for RAG:
-
-```python
-fn.async search(str query):
-  list qVec = await ai.embed(query)
-  list results = vectors.search(qVec, 5)
-  ret results
-```
-
-`createVectorStore()` — in-memory vector store with `add(id, embedding, metadata)`, `search(queryEmbedding, topK)`, `remove(id)`, `clear()`.
-
-### Prompt Templates
-
-Reusable prompt declarations with default variables:
-
-```python
-prompt summarize {lang: "en"}:
-  "Summarize the following text in {lang}:"
-  "{text}"
-
-fn.async main():
-  str p = summarize({text: "hello world"})
-  str answer = await ai.ask(p)
-```
-
-Multi-line templates are joined with newlines. Variables use `{name}` syntax.
-
-### AI in Server Routes
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  post "/api/ask" (req, res):
-    str answer = await ai.ask(req.body.prompt)
-    ret {answer}
-```
-
-## SQL Database
-
-SQLite and PostgreSQL support with the same store API:
-
-```python
-db.sql "sqlite" "app.db"
-
-schema User:
-  id    auto
-  name  str required
-  email str required email
-
-server app port 3000:
-  crud "/api/users" User
-```
-
-Schemas with `db.sql` auto-use SQL storage instead of JSON files. Same API: `getAll`, `getById`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `where`, `count`, `clear`.
-
-Schema migration is automatic — when you add new fields to a schema, `ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN` runs at startup. No manual migration needed.
-
-PostgreSQL:
-
-```python
-db.sql "postgres" "postgresql://localhost/mydb"
-```
-
-## Language Server (LSP)
-
-Built-in LSP for editor integration — diagnostics, completions, and hover docs:
-
-```bash
-naide lsp
-```
-
-### VS Code
-
-```bash
-naide vscode
-```
-
-One command installs the extension — syntax highlighting, LSP diagnostics, autocomplete, and hover docs for `.naide` and `.nx` files. Restart VS Code after install.
-
-## Deploy
-
-Generate deployment files with one command:
-
-```bash
-naide deploy
-```
-
-Creates `Dockerfile` and `.dockerignore`. Then:
-
-```bash
-docker build -t naide-app .
-docker run -p 3000:3000 naide-app
-```
-
-## Multi-File Projects
-
-Import between NAIDE files — extensions are auto-rewritten to `.mjs` in output:
-
-```python
-# routes.naide
-pub fn.async handleUser(req, res):
-  ret {user: req.params.id}
-```
-
-```python
-# app.naide
-use {handleUser} from "./routes.naide"
-
-server app port 3000:
-  get "/user/:id" [handleUser] (req, res):
-    ret {ok: true}
-```
-
-Build all files with `naide build`, which compiles every `.naide`/`.nx` file to `.mjs`.
-

-## NAIDE-X Syntax (.nx)
-
-Every keyword is a single character. Line-start symbol = intent.
-
-```
-s:name="World"              -- str name = "World"
-i:count=42                  -- int count = 42
-~i:counter=0                -- mut int counter = 0
-
-f greet(s:who)s             -- fn greet(str who) -> str:
-  >"Hello, {who}!"          --   ret "Hello, {who}!"
-
-~f fetchData(s:url)a        -- fn.async fetchData(str url) -> any:
-  >~fetch(url)              --   ret await fetch(url)
-
-?count>5                    -- if count > 5:
-  log"many"                 --   log "many"
-|count>2                    -- elif count > 2:
-  log"some"                 --   log "some"
-:                           -- else:
-  log"few"                  --   log "few"
-
-@item<items                 -- each item in items:
-@i<0..10                    -- for i in 0..10:
-*active                     -- while active:
-
-$app:3000                   -- server app port 3000:
-  G"/users"                 --   get "/users":
-    >users                  --     ret users
-  P"/users"(req,res)        --   post "/users" (req, res):
-    >req.body               --     ret req.body

-
-| Symbol | Meaning | Symbol | Meaning |
-|--------|---------|--------|---------|
-| `>` | return | `?` | if |
-| `\|` | elif | `:` | else |
-| `@` | loop | `*` | while |
-| `!` | try | `!!` | catch |
-| `!!!` | ensure/finally | `>.d` | ret.download |
-| `$` | server | `^` | model |
-| `<` | import | `%` | match |
-| `f` | function | `~f` | async function |
-| `+` | export | `~` | await |
-| `G` | GET | `P` | POST |

-
-Types: `s`=str `i`=int `n`=num `b`=bool `l`=list `m`=map `a`=any
-
-High-level keywords work in both modes: `schema`, `crud`, `auth`, `cors`, `limit`, `env`, `every`, `watch`, `static`, `ws`, `db`, `db.sql`, `group`, `cookie`, `error`, `session`, `upload`, `view`, `sse`, `cache`, `patch`, `validate`, `test`, `assert`, `queue`, `openapi`, `typeof`, `instanceof`, `ensure`, `ai`, `prompt`.
-
-NAIDE-X log shorthands: `log.e` = error, `log.w` = warn, `log.i` = info, `log.d` = debug.
-
-## Plugin System
-
-Register and use plugins for extensibility:
-
-```python
-registerPlugin("logger", (opts) =>
-  ret {log: (msg) => log "[{opts.prefix}] {msg}"}
-)
-
-any logger = usePlugin("logger", {prefix: "APP"})
-logger.log("started")
-
-list names = listPlugins()
-```
-
-`registerPlugin(name, setup)` — registers a plugin factory. `usePlugin(name, opts?)` — initializes on first call, returns cached exports. `listPlugins()` — returns registered plugin names.
-
-## Convert (NX ↔ NAIDE)
-
-Bidirectional conversion between `.nx` and `.naide`:
-
-```bash
-naide convert file.nx         # → file.naide (expand to readable syntax)
-naide convert file.naide      # → file.nx (compress to NX syntax)
-```
-
-## Source Maps & Error Remapping
-
-Runtime errors are automatically remapped to source file line numbers:
-
-```
-Error in app.naide:12
-  10 |   user = UserStore.getById(id)
-  11 |   if not user:
->>12 |     throw "not found"
-```
-
-The CLI tracks source-to-output line mappings and shows context from your `.naide`/`.nx` file, not the generated JavaScript.
-
-## Native Dependency Detection
-
-When you run a `.naide` file, the CLI scans generated JavaScript for missing dependencies (`express`, `better-sqlite3`, `pg`, `ws`) and prints install hints:
-
-```
-[NAIDE] Missing: express — run: npm install express
-```
-
-## Type Checker
-
-Compile-time type checking without running the code:
-
-```bash
-naide check app.naide
-```
-
-Catches type mismatches at compile time:
-
-```
-  app.naide:3 ERROR: Type mismatch: cannot assign str to int
-  app.naide:7 WARN: Type warning: reassigning int variable 'count' with str
-```
-
-The type checker understands NAIDE's type annotations (`str`, `int`, `num`, `bool`, `list`, `map`), infers types from expressions and function return values, and checks assignments for compatibility. `num` accepts `int` values. `any` and `json` accept all types.
-
-Also available as a flag: `naide --check app.naide` or programmatically via `compile(source, { typeCheck: true })`.
-
-## Async Error Handling
-
-Async route handlers are automatically wrapped with try/catch to prevent unhandled rejections:
-
-```python
-server app port 3000:
-  post "/api/data" (req, res):
-    any data = await fetchData()    # if this throws...
-    ret data                        # ...a 500 JSON error is returned automatically
-```
-
-Generated code includes `try { ... } catch (__err) { res.status(500).json({ error: __err.message }) }` around async handlers. Routes with explicit `try/fail` blocks are left as-is.
-
-A global `process.on('unhandledRejection')` handler is also added to server code to catch any remaining async errors.
-
-## Debugger
-
-Debug NAIDE programs with the Node.js inspector:
-
-```bash
-naide -d app.naide              # starts with --inspect-brk
-```
-
-Then open `chrome://inspect` in Chrome to connect. The program pauses at the first line so you can set breakpoints before execution.
-
-## Package Ecosystem
-
-Manage NAIDE packages via npm:
-
-```bash
-naide pkg init                  # create naide.pkg.json manifest
-naide pkg install my-plugin     # install from npm + add to manifest
-naide pkg publish               # publish to npm with naide-plugin keyword
-naide pkg list                  # list installed NAIDE packages
-```
-
-The `naide.pkg.json` manifest tracks NAIDE-specific metadata (main entry, exports, dependencies) while using npm as the underlying registry.
-
-## Why NAIDE?
-
-AI code generation speed depends on:
-
-1. **Token count** — fewer output tokens = faster generation
-2. **Predictability** — one way to write everything = better next-token prediction
-3. **Context window** — shorter code = more room for complex projects
-
-NAIDE-X is designed as an **AI-internal representation** — the AI thinks in NAIDE-X, users receive standard JavaScript.

+# NAIDE
+
+**Node AI Development Environment** — A programming language designed for AI-speed code generation that transpiles to Node.js.
+
+NAIDE is built on three principles: one way to write everything (zero ambiguity), keyword-driven intent (the first token decides meaning), and minimal token count (fewer tokens = faster AI generation). It includes built-in declarations for servers, databases, authentication, file uploads, WebSockets, Discord bots, job queues, testing, and more — all with zero external dependencies.
+
+Two syntax modes:
+
+- **NAIDE** (`.naide`) — Human-readable, ~40% fewer tokens than JavaScript
+- **NAIDE-X** (`.nx`) — AI-only readability, ~80% fewer tokens than JavaScript
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install -g naider
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Create a new project
+naide init my-app
+cd my-app
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+
+Or write a file directly:
+
+```python
+# app.naide
+server app port 3000:
+  get "/":
+    ret {message: "Hello from NAIDE"}
+```
+
+```bash
+naide app.naide
+```
+
+## CLI
+
+```bash
+naide <file>                  # Run a .naide or .nx file
+naide                         # Start interactive REPL

+naide pkg publish             # Publish package to npm
+naide -w <file>               # Watch mode (auto-restart on changes)
+naide -d <file>               # Debug mode (Node.js inspector)
+naide --emit <file>           # Print generated JavaScript
+naide -o <out.js> <file>      # Write JavaScript to file
+naide --mid <file.nx>         # Show intermediate NAIDE v1 (debug X mode)
+naide --ast <file>            # Print AST
+naide --tokens <file>         # Print token stream
+```
+
+### REPL
+
+```
+$ naide
+NAIDE REPL v1.11.0 — type NAIDE code, see JavaScript output
+Type .exit to quit, .eval to toggle eval mode
+
+>>> str name = "hello"
+const name = "hello";
+
+>>> fn add(int a, int b) -> int:
+...   ret a + b
+...
+function add(a, b) {
+  return a + b;
+}
+```
+
+Type `.eval` to switch to evaluation mode (runs the code instead of showing JS).
+
+### Playground

+
+## Language Reference
+
+### Variables
+
+```python
+str name = "hello"          # immutable (const)
+int count = 42
+num price = 9.99
+bool active = true
+list items = [1, 2, 3]
+map config = {host: "localhost"}
+any data = null
+
+mut int counter = 0          # mutable (let)
+mut str label = "init"
+```
+
+Types: `str`, `int`, `num`, `bool`, `list`, `map`, `any`, `json`, `void`
+
+### String Interpolation
+
+```python
+str greeting = "Hello {name}, you have {count} items"
+```
+
+Double-quoted strings with `{expr}` are auto-interpolated.
+
+### Functions
+
+```python
+fn add(int a, int b) -> int:
+  ret a + b
+
+fn greet(str name, str prefix = "Hello"):
+  log "{prefix}, {name}!"
+
+fn sum(...int nums) -> int:
+  mut int total = 0
+  each n in nums:
+    total += n
+  ret total
+
+fn.async fetchUser(str id) -> map:
+  any res = await fetch("/api/users/{id}")
+  ret await res.json()
+```
+
+### Control Flow
+
+```python
+if count > 10:
+  log "many"
+elif count > 5:
+  log "some"
+else:
+  log "few"
+
+str size = if count > 10 then "big" else "small"
+```
+
+### Loops
+
+```python
+each item in items:
+  log item
+
+each key, val in config:
+  log "{key}: {val}"
+
+for i in 0..10:
+  log i
+
+while active:
+  log "running"
+  active = false
+```
+
+### Pattern Matching
+
+```python
+match status:
+  "ok": log "success"
+  "error": log "failed"
+  _: log "unknown"
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+```python
+try:
+  data = await fetchData(url)
+fail e:
+  log.error e.message
+ensure:
+  log "request completed"
+```
+
+`ensure:` is NAIDE's `finally` — the block always runs, whether the `try` succeeds or fails. `fail` is optional:
+
+```python
+try:
+  conn = await openConnection()
+  ret await conn.query("SELECT 1")
+ensure:
+  conn.close()
+```
+
+### Type Checking
+
+```python
+if typeof data == "string":
+  log "is string"
+
+if err instanceof TypeError:
+  log "type error"
+```
+
+`typeof` returns the type as a string. `instanceof` checks if a value is an instance of a class/constructor.
+
+### Classes
+
+```python
+model User:
+  str name
+  str email
+  int age = 0
+
+  fn greet() -> str:
+    ret "Hi, I'm {self.name}"
+
+model Admin extends User:
+  str role = "admin"
+  fn permissions() -> list:
+    ret ["read", "write", "delete"]
+```
+
+### Pipe Operator
+
+```python
+list result = data
+  |> filter((x) => x.active)
+  |> map((x) => x.name)
+  |> sort()
+```
+
+### Imports / Exports
+
+```python
+use express
+use {readFile, writeFile} from "fs/promises"
+use axios from "axios"
+
+pub fn helper() -> str:
+  ret "exported"
+pub str VERSION = "1.0.0"
+```
+
+## Server & API Features
+
+All features below are zero-dependency — the runtime is bundled with the package.
+
+### server — Express App
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  get "/":
+    ret {message: "hello"}
+  post "/api/data" (req, res):
+    ret req.body
+  put "/api/data/:id" (req, res):
+    ret {updated: true}
+  del "/api/data/:id":
+    ret {deleted: true}
+  patch "/api/data/:id" (req, res):
+    ret {patched: true}
+```
+
+### schema — Data Models
+
+```python
+schema User:
+  id       auto
+  name     str required min(2) max(50)
+  email    str required email unique
+  age      int optional min(0) max(150)
+  role     enum("admin", "user") default("user")
+  joined   timestamp auto
+```
+
+Types: `str`, `int`, `num`, `bool`, `auto` (UUID), `timestamp`, `enum(...)`
+Modifiers: `required`, `optional`, `min(n)`, `max(n)`, `email`, `url`, `unique`, `auto`, `default(val)`
+
+### db — Persistent Storage
+
+```python
+db "data/"
+```
+
+Schemas auto-persist to JSON files (`data/User.json`, etc.). Without `db`, data is in-memory only.
+
+### crud — Auto-generated REST Endpoints
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  crud "/api/users" User
+```
+
+Generates GET (list + by-ID), POST, PUT, DELETE with validation. Built-in pagination, search, and sort:
+
+```
+GET /api/users?page=2&limit=10&q=john&sort=name&order=asc
+```
+
+Response: `{ data: [...], total, page, limit, pages }`
+
+### validate — Request Validation
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  validate "/api/users" User
+  post "/api/users" (req, res):
+    user = UserStore.create(req.body)   # body is pre-validated
+    ret user
+```
+
+Auto-validates POST/PUT/PATCH bodies against the schema. Returns `400` with error details if invalid. Validated data replaces `req.body`.
+
+### auth — JWT Authentication
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  auth JWT_SECRET:
+    protect "/api/*"
+    public "/api/auth/*"
+
+  post "/api/auth/login" (req, res):
+    token = auth.sign({id: user.id})
+    ret {token}
+```
+
+### cors / limit / cookie / session
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  cors "*"                    # CORS middleware
+  limit "/api/*" 100 "1m"    # rate limiting (100 req/min)
+  cookie                     # cookie parser → req.cookies
+  session "my-secret"        # cookie sessions → req.session
+```
+
+### upload — File Uploads
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  upload "/api/upload" "avatar" (req, res):
+    ret {filename: req.file.filename, size: req.file.size}
+```
+
+Zero-dependency multipart parser. `req.file` = `{filename, contentType, data, size}`.
+
+### view — Template Rendering
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  view "./views"
+  get "/":
+    ret.render "home" {title: "Welcome", items: ["a", "b"]}
+```
+
+Reads `.html` files with `{{variable}}`, `{{if key}}...{{/if}}`, `{{each item in list}}...{{/each}}`.
+
+### sse — Server-Sent Events
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  sse "/events"
+  post "/api/notify" (req, res):
+    sse.broadcast req.body
+    ret {ok: true}
+```
+
+`sse.send(data)`, `sse.broadcast(data)`, `sse.count`.
+
+### cache — Response Caching
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  cache "/api/*" "5m"
+```
+
+Caches GET responses in memory with TTL. Sets `X-Cache: HIT/MISS`.
+
+### ws — WebSocket
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  ws "/chat":
+    on "connect":
+      send({type: "welcome"})
+    on "message" (data):
+      broadcast(data)
+    on "close":
+      log "client left"
+```
+
+Built-in `send(data)` and `broadcast(data)`. Requires `npm install ws`.
+
+### group — Route Groups
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  group "/api/v1":
+    get "/users":
+      ret users
+    post "/users" (req, res):
+      ret req.body
+```
+
+### mid — Named Middleware
+
+```python
+fn logger(req, res, next):
+  log req.method, req.url
+  next()
+
+server app port 3000:
+  mid logger               # apply globally
+  mid logger "/api"        # apply to path only
+```
+
+### Route-Level Middleware
+
+Apply middleware to specific routes with bracket syntax:
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  get "/admin" [authCheck] (req, res):
+    ret {admin: true}
+
+  post "/api/data" [auth, logger, validator] (req, res):
+    ret req.body
+```
+
+Compiles to `app.get("/admin", authCheck, (req, res) => { ... })`.
+
+### static — Serve Files
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  static "/public"
+```
+
+### error — Error Handler
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  error (err, req, res):
+    log.error err.message
+    ret.status 500 {error: "Internal error"}
+```
+
+### openapi — Auto-Generated API Docs
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  openapi "/docs"
+```
+
+Generates an OpenAPI 3.1 JSON spec from your schemas, served at the specified path.
+
+### Response Helpers
+
+```python
+ret {data: items}                        # JSON (default)
+ret.status 404 {error: "nope"}          # status code
+ret.redirect "/login"                    # redirect
+ret.redirect 301 "/new-url"             # redirect with status
+ret.html "<h1>Hello</h1>"               # HTML
+ret.text "pong"                          # plain text
+ret.file "/path/to/file"                # send file
+ret.download "/path/to/file.zip"        # file download
+ret.download "/file.zip" "custom.zip"   # download with filename
+ret.render "template" {data}            # render template (requires view)
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+Built-in test syntax using Node.js test runner:
+
+```python
+test "user creation":
+  user = UserStore.create({name: "Alice", email: "alice@test.com"})
+  assert user.name == "Alice"
+  assert user.email == "alice@test.com"
+
+test "math":
+  assert 1 + 1 == 2
+  assert 10 > 5
+```
+
+`assert a == b` generates `assert.strictEqual` for better error messages. Run with `node --test`.
+
+### Mock / Spy (Test Utilities)
+
+```python
+fn.async main():
+  # Create a mock function
+  any mock = createMock()
+  mock(1, 2)
+  mock("hello")
+  log mock.callCount()        # 2
+  log mock.calledWith(1, 2)   # true
+
+  # Mock with return value
+  mock.returns(42)
+  log mock()                  # 42
+
+  # Spy on an existing method
+  any spy = createSpy(obj, "method")
+  obj.method("arg")
+  log spy.callCount()         # 1
+  spy.restore()               # restores original method
+```
+
+`createMock(fn?)` — create a mock function with `.calls`, `.callCount()`, `.calledWith(...)`, `.returns(val)`, `.impl(fn)`, `.reset()`.
+`createSpy(obj, method)` — wraps an existing method with a mock. `.restore()` reverts it.
+
+## Job Queue
+
+In-memory async job queue for background processing:
+
+```python
+queue jobs:
+  job "sendEmail" (data):
+    log "sending to {data.to}"
+  job "resize" (data):
+    log "resizing {data.path}"
+
+server app port 3000:
+  post "/api/notify" (req, res):
+    jobs.add("sendEmail", {to: req.body.email})
+    ret {queued: true}
+```
+
+## Discord Bot
+
+Built-in `bot` syntax for Discord bots — events, message handling, and slash commands with zero boilerplate:
+
+```python
+bot myBot token DISCORD_TOKEN:
+  on "ready":
+    log "Bot is online!"
+
+  on "message" (msg):
+    if msg.content == "!ping":
+      msg.reply("Pong!")
+
+  slash "hello" "Says hello":
+    interaction.reply("Hello!")
+
+  slash "ask" "Ask the AI":
+    str answer = await ai.ask(interaction.options.getString("question"))
+    interaction.reply(answer)
+```
+
+Compiles to **discord.js** (Node.js/Bun) or **discord.py** (Python). Multi-target:
+
+```bash
+naide bot.naide                        # Node.js (discord.js)
+naide bot.naide --target bun           # Bun (discord.js)
+naide bot.naide --target python        # Python (discord.py)
+```
+
+The `on "message"` event maps to `messageCreate` (discord.js) / `on_message` (discord.py). Slash commands are auto-registered on bot startup.
+
+## Scheduled Tasks & Events
+
+```python
+every "5m":
+  log "cleanup running"
+
+watch User.create (event):
+  log "new user: {event.data.name}"
+```
+
+Intervals: `"30s"`, `"5m"`, `"1h"`, `"1d"`.
+`watch` connects to `crud` events automatically.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```python
+env:
+  PORT       int default(3000)
+  JWT_SECRET str required
+  DB_URL     str default("data/")
+```
+
+Variables become constants. Missing `required` vars exit with an error.
+
+## Built-in Functions
+
+```python
+str id = uuid()                          # UUID
+str hashed = hash("password")            # scrypt hash
+bool ok = verify("password", hashed)     # timing-safe verify
+str token = sign({id: 1})                # JWT (uses auth secret)
+str token = sign({id: 1}, "my-secret")   # JWT (explicit secret)
+```
+
+Auto-imported from the runtime when used.
+
+## HTTP Client
+
+```python
+fn.async getUsers() -> any:
+  any users = await api.get("https://api.example.com/users")
+  ret users
+
+fn.async createUser(map data) -> any:
+  any result = await api.post("https://api.example.com/users", data)
+  ret result
+```
+
+Methods: `api.get(url)`, `api.post(url, body)`, `api.put(url, body)`, `api.del(url)`, `api.raw(url, opts)`.
+
+## AI / LLM Integration
+
+Built-in AI client — zero dependencies, auto-detects provider from API key:
+
+```python
+fn.async main():
+  # Simple prompt
+  str answer = await ai.ask("Explain NAIDE in one sentence")
+
+  # Structured JSON output
+  map result = await ai.json("List 3 colors", {colors: ["string"]})
+
+  # Multi-turn chat
+  list msgs = [{role: "user", content: "Hi"}, {role: "assistant", content: "Hello!"}, {role: "user", content: "What is 2+2?"}]
+  str reply = await ai.chat(msgs)
+
+  # With options
+  str answer2 = await ai.ask("hello", {model: "gpt-4o", maxTokens: 100})
+```
+
+Set `AI_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, or `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` env var. Provider auto-detected: `sk-ant-*` → Anthropic, otherwise OpenAI-compatible.
+
+### AI Streaming
+
+```python
+fn.async main():
+  each chunk in await ai.stream("Write a poem"):
+    log chunk
+```
+
+Returns an async iterator of text chunks — works with SSE for real-time chat UIs.
+
+### Embeddings & Vector Search (RAG)
+
+```python
+fn.async main():
+  # Generate embeddings
+  list vec = await ai.embed("hello world")
+  list vecs = await ai.embed(["hello", "world"])
+
+  # Cosine similarity
+  num score = ai.similarity(vec1, vec2)
+```
+
+Built-in vector store for RAG:
+
+```python
+fn.async search(str query):
+  list qVec = await ai.embed(query)
+  list results = vectors.search(qVec, 5)
+  ret results
+```
+
+`createVectorStore()` — in-memory vector store with `add(id, embedding, metadata)`, `search(queryEmbedding, topK)`, `remove(id)`, `clear()`.
+
+### Prompt Templates
+
+Reusable prompt declarations with default variables:
+
+```python
+prompt summarize {lang: "en"}:
+  "Summarize the following text in {lang}:"
+  "{text}"
+
+fn.async main():
+  str p = summarize({text: "hello world"})
+  str answer = await ai.ask(p)
+```
+
+Multi-line templates are joined with newlines. Variables use `{name}` syntax.
+
+### AI in Server Routes
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  post "/api/ask" (req, res):
+    str answer = await ai.ask(req.body.prompt)
+    ret {answer}
+```
+
+## SQL Database
+
+SQLite and PostgreSQL support with the same store API:
+
+```python
+db.sql "sqlite" "app.db"
+
+schema User:
+  id    auto
+  name  str required
+  email str required email
+
+server app port 3000:
+  crud "/api/users" User
+```
+
+Schemas with `db.sql` auto-use SQL storage instead of JSON files. Same API: `getAll`, `getById`, `create`, `update`, `delete`, `where`, `count`, `clear`.
+
+Schema migration is automatic — when you add new fields to a schema, `ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN` runs at startup. No manual migration needed.
+
+PostgreSQL:
+
+```python
+db.sql "postgres" "postgresql://localhost/mydb"
+```
+
+## Language Server (LSP)
+
+Built-in LSP for editor integration — diagnostics, completions, and hover docs:
+
+```bash
+naide lsp
+```
+
+### VS Code
+
+```bash
+naide vscode
+```
+
+One command installs the extension — syntax highlighting, LSP diagnostics, autocomplete, and hover docs for `.naide` and `.nx` files. Restart VS Code after install.
+
+## Deploy
+
+Generate deployment files with one command:
+
+```bash
+naide deploy
+```
+
+Creates `Dockerfile` and `.dockerignore`. Then:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t naide-app .
+docker run -p 3000:3000 naide-app
+```
+
+## Multi-File Projects
+
+Import between NAIDE files — extensions are auto-rewritten to `.mjs` in output:
+
+```python
+# routes.naide
+pub fn.async handleUser(req, res):
+  ret {user: req.params.id}
+```
+
+```python
+# app.naide
+use {handleUser} from "./routes.naide"
+
+server app port 3000:
+  get "/user/:id" [handleUser] (req, res):
+    ret {ok: true}
+```
+
+Build all files with `naide build`, which compiles every `.naide`/`.nx` file to `.mjs`.
+
+## Full Example
+
+```python
+db.sql "sqlite" "app.db"
+
+env:
+  PORT int default(3000)
+  JWT_SECRET str required
+
+schema User:
+  id auto
+  name str required min(2) max(50)
+  email str required email
+  password str required
+
+queue jobs:
+  job "welcome" (data):
+    log "Welcome email to {data.email}"
+
+server app port PORT:
+  cors "*"
+  cookie
+  session JWT_SECRET
+  auth JWT_SECRET:
+    protect "/api/*"
+    public "/api/auth/*"
+  limit "/api/*" 100 "1m"
+  static "/public"
+  cache "/api/users" "1m"
+  validate "/api/users" User
+  crud "/api/users" User
+  openapi "/docs"
+
+  post "/api/auth/register" (req, res):
+    try:
+      str hashed = hash(req.body.password)
+      user = UserStore.create({...req.body, password: hashed})
+      token = auth.sign({id: user.id})
+      jobs.add("welcome", {email: user.email})
+      ret {token, user}
+    fail e:
+      ret.status 500 {error: e.message}
+    ensure:
+      log.info "register attempt handled"
+
+  post "/api/auth/login" (req, res):
+    user = UserStore.where({email: req.body.email})[0]
+    if not user:
+      ret.status 401 {error: "Invalid credentials"}
+    if not verify(req.body.password, user.password):
+      ret.status 401 {error: "Invalid credentials"}
+    token = auth.sign({id: user.id})
+    ret {token}
+
+  post "/api/ask" (req, res):
+    str answer = await ai.ask(req.body.prompt)
+    ret {answer}
+
+  get "/admin" [authCheck] (req, res):
+    if typeof req.user == "undefined":
+      ret.status 401 {error: "not authenticated"}
+    ret {admin: true}
+
+  get "/old-page":
+    ret.redirect 301 "/new-page"
+
+  get "/download":
+    ret.download "/files/report.pdf" "report.pdf"
+
+  ws "/chat":
+    on "message" (data):
+      broadcast(data)
+
+  sse "/events"
+
+  get "/":
+    ret.html "<h1>Welcome</h1>"
+
+  error (err, req, res):
+    log.error err.message
+    ret.status 500 {error: "Something went wrong"}
+
+watch User.create (event):
+  log "new user: {event.data.name}"
+
+every "30m":
+  log "cleanup"
+```
+
+This generates a complete production API — SQLite database, AI/LLM integration, auth, password hashing, CORS, sessions, rate limiting, CRUD with pagination/search, WebSocket, SSE, file caching, request validation, background jobs, auto-generated API docs, route middleware, file downloads, redirects with status codes, type checking, error handling with ensure/finally, and event-driven hooks — from ~75 lines.
+
+## NAIDE-X Syntax (.nx)
+
+Every keyword is a single character. Line-start symbol = intent.
+
+```
+s:name="World"              -- str name = "World"
+i:count=42                  -- int count = 42
+~i:counter=0                -- mut int counter = 0
+
+f greet(s:who)s             -- fn greet(str who) -> str:
+  >"Hello, {who}!"          --   ret "Hello, {who}!"
+
+~f fetchData(s:url)a        -- fn.async fetchData(str url) -> any:
+  >~fetch(url)              --   ret await fetch(url)
+
+?count>5                    -- if count > 5:
+  log"many"                 --   log "many"
+|count>2                    -- elif count > 2:
+  log"some"                 --   log "some"
+:                           -- else:
+  log"few"                  --   log "few"
+
+@item<items                 -- each item in items:
+@i<0..10                    -- for i in 0..10:
+*active                     -- while active:
+
+$app:3000                   -- server app port 3000:
+  G"/users"                 --   get "/users":
+    >users                  --     ret users
+  P"/users"(req,res)        --   post "/users" (req, res):
+    >req.body               --     ret req.body
+```

+| Symbol | Meaning | Symbol | Meaning |
+|--------|---------|--------|---------|
+| `>` | return | `?` | if |
+| `\|` | elif | `:` | else |
+| `@` | loop | `*` | while |

+
+Types: `s`=str `i`=int `n`=num `b`=bool `l`=list `m`=map `a`=any
+
+High-level keywords work in both modes: `schema`, `crud`, `auth`, `cors`, `limit`, `env`, `every`, `watch`, `static`, `ws`, `db`, `db.sql`, `group`, `cookie`, `error`, `session`, `upload`, `view`, `sse`, `cache`, `patch`, `validate`, `test`, `assert`, `queue`, `openapi`, `typeof`, `instanceof`, `ensure`, `ai`, `prompt`, `bot`, `slash`.
+
+NAIDE-X log shorthands: `log.e` = error, `log.w` = warn, `log.i` = info, `log.d` = debug.
+
+## Plugin System
+
+Register and use plugins for extensibility:
+
+```python
+registerPlugin("logger", (opts) =>
+  ret {log: (msg) => log "[{opts.prefix}] {msg}"}
+)
+
+any logger = usePlugin("logger", {prefix: "APP"})
+logger.log("started")
+
+list names = listPlugins()
+```
+
+`registerPlugin(name, setup)` — registers a plugin factory. `usePlugin(name, opts?)` — initializes on first call, returns cached exports. `listPlugins()` — returns registered plugin names.
+
+## Convert (NX ↔ NAIDE)
+
+Bidirectional conversion between `.nx` and `.naide`:
+
+```bash
+naide convert file.nx         # → file.naide (expand to readable syntax)
+naide convert file.naide      # → file.nx (compress to NX syntax)
+```
+
+## Source Maps & Error Remapping
+
+Runtime errors are automatically remapped to source file line numbers:
+
+```
+Error in app.naide:12
+  10 |   user = UserStore.getById(id)
+  11 |   if not user:
+>>12 |     throw "not found"
+```
+
+The CLI tracks source-to-output line mappings and shows context from your `.naide`/`.nx` file, not the generated JavaScript.
+
+## Native Dependency Detection
+
+When you run a `.naide` file, the CLI scans generated JavaScript for missing dependencies (`express`, `better-sqlite3`, `pg`, `ws`) and prints install hints:
+
+```
+[NAIDE] Missing: express — run: npm install express
+```
+
+## Type Checker
+
+Compile-time type checking without running the code:
+
+```bash
+naide check app.naide
+```
+
+Catches type mismatches at compile time:
+
+```
+  app.naide:3 ERROR: Type mismatch: cannot assign str to int
+  app.naide:7 WARN: Type warning: reassigning int variable 'count' with str
+```
+
+The type checker understands NAIDE's type annotations (`str`, `int`, `num`, `bool`, `list`, `map`), infers types from expressions and function return values, and checks assignments for compatibility. `num` accepts `int` values. `any` and `json` accept all types.
+
+Also available as a flag: `naide --check app.naide` or programmatically via `compile(source, { typeCheck: true })`.
+
+## Async Error Handling
+
+Async route handlers are automatically wrapped with try/catch to prevent unhandled rejections:
+
+```python
+server app port 3000:
+  post "/api/data" (req, res):
+    any data = await fetchData()    # if this throws...
+    ret data                        # ...a 500 JSON error is returned automatically
+```
+
+Generated code includes `try { ... } catch (__err) { res.status(500).json({ error: __err.message }) }` around async handlers. Routes with explicit `try/fail` blocks are left as-is.
+
+A global `process.on('unhandledRejection')` handler is also added to server code to catch any remaining async errors.
+
+## Debugger
+
+Debug NAIDE programs with the Node.js inspector:
+
+```bash
+naide -d app.naide              # starts with --inspect-brk
+```
+
+Then open `chrome://inspect` in Chrome to connect. The program pauses at the first line so you can set breakpoints before execution.
+
+## Package Ecosystem
+
+Manage NAIDE packages via npm:
+
+```bash
+naide pkg init                  # create naide.pkg.json manifest
+naide pkg install my-plugin     # install from npm + add to manifest
+naide pkg publish               # publish to npm with naide-plugin keyword
+naide pkg list                  # list installed NAIDE packages
+```
+
+The `naide.pkg.json` manifest tracks NAIDE-specific metadata (main entry, exports, dependencies) while using npm as the underlying registry.
+
+## Why NAIDE?
+
+AI code generation speed depends on:
+
+1. **Token count** — fewer output tokens = faster generation
+2. **Predictability** — one way to write everything = better next-token prediction
+3. **Context window** — shorter code = more room for complex projects
+
+NAIDE-X is designed as an **AI-internal representation** — the AI thinks in NAIDE-X, users receive standard JavaScript.
