feat: lifetime elision, tooling CI, registry, and LSP locals

Ship the QUALITY_PLAN stretch from ownership through ecosystem: C.1
lifetime elision (bootstrap + selfhost), bux fmt/test/doc CI hooks,
stdlib goldens, package registry (bux search/add), and LSP 0.4
position-sensitive locals with inferred let types. Full-tree format
pass plus Map/Set remove double-free fix.

+
+### Lifetime elision (C.1)
+
+In `@[Checked]` functions, most reference signatures need **no** lifetime annotations.
+Elision applies the usual single-input rules:
+
+1. Each elided input `&T` / `&mut T` parameter gets a distinct lifetime.
+2. If there is **exactly one** input lifetime, it is assigned to all elided outputs.
+3. If the first parameter is named `self` / `Self`, that input lifetime is preferred for outputs.
+4. Multiple input references + elided return → **error** (write an explicit lifetime).
+
+```bux
+// Elided — one input ref, return shares its lifetime
+@[Checked]
+func Identity(p: &int) -> &int {
+    return p;   // OK
+}
+
+// Explicit — required when several inputs could be returned
+@[Checked]
+func Pick<'a>(a: &'a int, b: &'a int) -> &'a int {
+    return a;
+}
+
+// Syntax: &'a T  and  &mut / &'a mut T  (lifetime before `mut`)
+// Type parameters: func F<'a, T>(...)
+```
+
+Unchecked functions ignore lifetime rules (C-like). Explicit `'a` is optional
+documentation when a single input would already elide correctly.

+   - `--filter <s>` / `--filter=<s>` — only run `tests/*.bux` whose name contains `s`
+   - Summary table (`PASS` / `FAIL[:code]`) + `Results: N passed, M failed, T total`
+   - Exit `0` all pass, `1` failures or no match
+3. **Selfhost parity** (`src/cli.bux`, `src/fmt.bux`):
+   - `Fmt_WouldChange` / `Fmt_CheckFile`; `Cli_Fmt(dir, checkOnly)`
+   - `Cli_Test(dir, filter)` with summary + skip count; filter skips Main package run
+4. **CI hooks:** `make fmt-check` smoke (clean→0, dirty→1); full-tree enforce deferred
+   until a one-shot format pass on `lib/`/`examples/`
+5. **Idempotence fix:** drop trailing split-empty so re-format is a no-op
+6. Verified: unit suite + `./buxc test --filter first _test_runner` + selfhost `buxc2`
+   fmt/test parity
+
+---
+
+## Сесия 25 (Ownership 2.0 — C.1 lifetime elision)
+
+1. **Elision rules** in `@[Checked]` (`bootstrap/sema.nim`):
+   - Each elided input `&`/`&mut` → distinct `#elidedN`
+   - One input lifetime → assigned to elided return
+   - First param `self`/`Self` preferred when multiple inputs
+   - Multiple inputs + elided return → `lifetime elision failed` (need `'a`)
+2. **Return checks:**
+   - `cannot return reference to local variable` (`return &local` / let-bound local ref)
+   - `no input reference to borrow from` (return ref with zero input refs)
+   - Explicit `'a` mismatch between return and value
+3. **Body check for lifetime-only generics** (`func F<'a>(...)`) — no longer skipped
+4. **Diagnostics hints** for elision / dangling / mismatch
+5. **Tests:** 8 new borrow_test cases; goldens `return_local_ref`, `elision_multi_input`
+6. **Example:** `examples/lifetime_elision.bux` (Identity / explicit / ViaLet / self)
+7. LanguageRef + QUALITY_PLAN updated
+8. Verified: borrow_test 24/24, 9 error goldens, example runs
+
+## Сесия 26 (C.1 selfhost parity)
+
+1. **Lexer** (`src/lexer.bux` + `tkLifetime=111`): `'a` vs char `'x'` (same heuristic as bootstrap)
+2. **Parser:**
+   - `&'a T` / `&'a mut T` → `TypeExpr.refLifetime`
+   - `func F<'a, T>(…)` — lifetime params accepted and **skipped** for mono slots
+3. **Sema** lifetime elision (fixed 8-slot maps, same rules as bootstrap):
+   - single-input elision, `self` preference, multi-input fail
+   - return-local / no-input-ref / explicit mismatch
+   - let-bound ref lifetime propagation
+4. Fixed `checkFunc` else-branch that wiped `checkedFunc` when retType was void
+5. Verified: `buxc2 run lifetime_elision` PASS; goldens on buxc2 show same errors;
+   bootstrap still green; **selfhost-loop** expected IDENTICAL
+
+---
+
+## Сесия 27 (tooling — D.4 bux doc + D.5 stdlib goldens)
+
+1. **D.5 Stdlib goldens** (`tests/stdlib_golden/`):
+   - Packages: `array`, `string`, `collections` (Map/Set/Result/Option)
+   - `run.sh` builds via `buxc run` and matches expected PASS lines
+   - `make test-stdlib` wired into `make test`
+2. **D.4 `bux doc`**:
+   - Bootstrap: `bootstrap/docgen.nim` — `///` + adjacent `/* */`
+   - Selfhost: `Cli_Doc` line scanner for `///`
+   - `bux doc [--out file] [path]` (default path `lib/`)
+   - `make docs` → `docs/api/stdlib.md`
+3. **Stdlib docs:** `///` on Array / String / Test public helpers
+4. Verified: `make test-stdlib`, `./buxc doc lib/Array.bux | head`, selfhost build
+
+---
+
+## Сесия 28 (LSP v0.4.0 — position-sensitive locals + inferred lets)
+
+1. **`LocalBinding`** with scope range (`scopeStartLine`…`scopeEndLine`) per let/param
+2. **Sema-backed inference** (`checkExprForLsp` / `resolveType`):
+   - `let x = 42` → hover `let x: int` · inferred
+   - `let s: String = "…"` → annotated, not inferred
+   - params: `param a: int` visible for whole function
+3. **Position-sensitive** hover / go-to-def / completion (innermost scope wins on shadowing)
+4. Nested scopes: if/while/for/match/block arms
+5. Version **bux-lsp 0.4.0**; tests: `tools/test_lsp_locals.nim`, `tools/smoke_lsp_hover.sh`
+6. Verified: hover shows `let sum: int · inferred`, `param a: int`, `let n: int · inferred`
+
+---
+
+## Сесия 29 (full-tree `bux fmt` + CI enforce)
+
+1. **One-shot format** of `lib/` (33), `examples/` (23), `src/` (15), `tests/` (8), `apps/` (12)
+2. **Idempotent:** second `--check` → 0 would reformat on all trees
+3. **CI:** `make fmt-check` enforces full tree + dirty-path smoke (exit 1)
+4. **`make fmt`** helper to reformat the same roots
+5. Verified: `test-stdlib`, key examples, **selfhost + selfhost-loop IDENTICAL ✓**
+
+---
+
+## Сесия 30 (E.1 package registry + E.3 semver draft)
+
+1. **Registry index** (`config/registry.toml`, `$BUX_REGISTRY`, `~/.bux/registry.toml`)
+   - `[[package]]` with `name` / `version` / `source` / `description`
+   - `file:` / `path:` (relative to index) or git URL
+2. **CLI:** `bux search [q]`, `bux add <name>` resolves registry, `bux install` locks path/git
+3. **Demo package:** `registry/packages/greet` (`Greet_Hello`, `Greet_Version`)
+4. **Smoke:** `tools/smoke_registry.sh` / `make test-registry` — temp app outside tree
+5. **Semver policy:** `docs/SEMVER.md` (0.x vs 1.0, registry version match)
+6. Packages.md updated
+
+---

 ## Следващи стъпки
 
-1. C.1 Lifetime elision

+# Bux Semantic Versioning Policy
+
+> Status: Draft for v0.x → v1.0 freeze (E.3)
+
+Bux follows [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0](https://semver.org/) with the
+clarifications below.
+
+---
+
+## Version numbers
+
+```
+MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH[-prerelease]
+```
+
+| Component | When it increases |
+|-----------|-------------------|
+| **MAJOR** | Breaking language / stdlib / CLI changes |
+| **MINOR** | Backward-compatible features |
+| **PATCH** | Backward-compatible bug fixes |
+
+During **0.x** (pre-1.0):
+
+- `0.MINOR.PATCH` — MINOR may still introduce breaking changes (documented in
+  the release notes and `MIGRATION_*.sh` when needed).
+- Prefer deprecation warnings for at least one MINOR before removal when
+  practical.
+
+After **1.0.0** (language freeze):
+
+- Breaking changes require a MAJOR bump and a migration guide.
+- The Language Reference is the normative spec; compiler bugs that contradict
+  the ref are fixed without a MAJOR bump.
+
+---
+
+## What counts as “breaking”
+
+- Removing or renaming a public stdlib symbol
+- Changing the type or semantics of a public API
+- Changing CLI flags that scripts rely on (`build`, `test`, `fmt --check`, …)
+- Changing `bux.toml` / `bux.lock` fields in an incompatible way
+- Changing the fat `func` / tuple C ABI in a way that breaks linked code
+
+**Not breaking:**
+
+- New keywords that were previously valid identifiers only if reserved carefully
+  (prefer contextual keywords)
+- New diagnostics / stricter `@[Checked]` (document; may be gated)
+- Formatter whitespace-only changes
+
+---
+
+## Package versions (registry)
+
+Registry packages use the same MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH scheme.
+
+`bux add foo` / `bux add foo 0.1` resolution:
+
+| Request | Matches |
+|---------|---------|
+| `*` / omitted | Latest entry for `foo` in the index |
+| `0.1.1` | Exact version |
+| `0.1` | First version with that prefix (e.g. `0.1.1`) |
+
+Lockfiles pin the **resolved** version and source path/URL.
+
+---
+
+## Release checklist (maintainers)
+
+1. Update `docs/LanguageRef.md` if behaviour changed
+2. Update `docs/QUALITY_PLAN.md` / changelog notes
+3. Run `make test` (includes `fmt-check`, examples, goldens)
+4. Run `make selfhost-loop`
+5. Tag `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
