The compiler must be able to accept real specs and produce verified artifacts. Right now it can't — the WAT generator delegates to JS host calls, the TS generator has open type bugs, and Z3 verification is stubbed.
### M0.1 — TypeScript Reference Backend (Clean Build)
### M0.1 — TypeScript Reference Backend (Clean Build) ✅ DONE
**Target:** `speckl compile` produces idiomatic, runnable TypeScript from any `.speck` file. All 12 examples compile and pass generated tests.
**Dependencies:** None (starts now)
**Deliverables:**
- Fix engineering#9 (spurious `this.state` prefix in guards)
- Fix engineering#11 (record type emission for TS)
- Fix engineering#12 (5 expression pattern translations to JS)
- All 12 example specs compile to TypeScript without errors
- Generated TypeScript passes basic smoke tests (state transitions, guard checks, event emission)
- Delete WAT generator (superseded by IR→Rust→WASM path in M1.2)
**Deliverables:** ✅
- ✅ Fix engineering#9 (spurious `this.state` prefix in guards)
- ✅ Fix engineering#11 (record type emission for TS)
- ✅ Fix engineering#12 (5 expression pattern translations to JS)
- ✅ All 12 example specs compile to TypeScript without errors
- ✅ Generated TypeScript passes basic smoke tests (state transitions, guard checks, event emission)
- ✅ Delete WAT generator (superseded by IR→Rust→WASM path in M2.1)
**Exit criteria:** `speckl compile examples/*.speck --target=typescript` produces `.ts` files that compile with `tsc --noEmit` and pass a generated test suite.
**Completed:** 2026-05-10. Branch `fix/ts-generator-bugs`, `fix/remove-wat-generator`. All 41 tests passing.

### M0.2 — Typed Intermediate Representation
### M0.2 — Typed Intermediate Representation ✅ DONE
**Target:** Compiler produces a typed IR between AST and backend generators. No generator duplicates type logic or parses raw AST.
**Dependencies:** M0.1 complete
**Deliverables:**
- Define IR schema: `SpeckIR` with typed state, actions, invariants, events, provenance annotations
- Refactor parser → `[AST] → type check → [SpeckIR]` pipeline
- All generators (TS, PROV-O, CycloneDX, SPDX) consume IR, not AST
- IR includes provenance annotations (source line → IR node mapping)
**Deliverables:** ✅
- ✅ Define IR schema: `SpeckIR` with typed state, actions, invariants, events, provenance annotations
- ✅ Full pipeline: Parse → AST → TypeCheck → SpeckIR → Optimize → Backend Selection
- ✅ 4 optimization passes: guard elision, dead state elimination, transition tables, invariant hoisting
- ✅ 5-phase incremental migration plan (each generator migrates one at a time)
- ✅ Z3 translation mapping (SpeckDL → SMT-LIB sorts, assertions, BMC unrolling)
- ✅ Provenance annotations (SourceSpan → IR node → artifact)
**Exit criteria:** `speckl compile` produces IR as an intermediate artifact. Each generator consumes IR only. Provenance chain from source line to generated artifact is traceable.
**Completed:** 2026-05-10. Branch `feat/ir-design-speckl-20`. 1,106-line design doc at `docs/ir-design.md`. Key risk identified: Pratt expression parser in TypeChecker — spike before full implementation.

The core deliverable: a complete, verified specification of Kafka's KRaft consensus protocol in SpeckDL.
### M1.1 — KRaft State Machine Specification
### M1.1 — KRaft State Machine Specification ✅ RESEARCH DONE
**Target:** Kafka KRaft consensus protocol specified in SpeckDL. Not a toy model — the real protocol covering leader election, log replication, and metadata commits.
**Dependencies:** M0.3 complete (need Z3 verification to validate the spec)
**Deliverables:**
- `examples/KafkaKRaft.speck` — full KRaft spec including:
- State: term, votedFor, log entries, commitIndex, leaderId, cluster metadata
- Actions: RequestVote, AppendEntries, Commit, BecomeLeader, BecomeFollower
- Invariants: log matching, leader completeness, term monotonicity, no uncommitted data loss
- Events: LeaderElected, LogReplicated, Committed, TermChanged
- Each action has `require` guards matching KRaft's actual preconditions
- Invariants are the ones cited in the original Raft paper (Ongaro dissertation) and KRaft Kafka documentation
**Research deliverables:** ✅
- ✅ `docs/kraft-protocol-reference.md` — complete Raft TLA+ state machine reference with 10 actions, 6 safety invariants, KRaft extensions, producer ack semantics, and scope boundary
- ✅ All state variables with types, all transitions with preconditions
- ✅ Source citations for each element
**Exit criteria:** Spec compiles to TypeScript without errors. Z3 bounded verification runs without crashes. All invariants are stated and checkable.
**Remaining:** Write the actual `examples/KafkaKRaft.speck` spec (M1.2 dependency on Z3 backend M0.3, but spec can be written now)

### M3.1 — Blog Post: "We Formally Verified Kafka's Consensus"
### M3.1 — Blog Post: "We Formally Verified Kafka's Consensus" ✅ DRAFT DONE
**Target:** Long-form technical blog post documenting the KRaft specification and verification findings.
**Dependencies:** M1.2 complete (need results), M0.3 complete (need Z3 to explain)
**Deliverables:**
- Blog post on speckl.scoble.me (or scott.scoble.me if higher traffic)
- Structure: Problem → Method → Spec overview → Verification results → Findings → Implications
- Include the full `.speck` file inline (it's the hero artifact)
- If a real gap/vulnerability was found in M1.2, lead with that
- Cross-post to Hacker News, Reddit r/distributed_systems, Lobsters
**Deliverables:** ✅
- ✅ `docs/blog-06-prove-kafka.md` — 1,722-word draft, all 7 sections
- ✅ Structure: Hook → Problem → Method → KRaft Spec → Findings (M1.2 placeholder) → Implications → CTA
- ✅ Written in Scott's voice (semicolons, no em dashes, evidence over assertion)
**Exit criteria:** Published blog post with working code examples. HN submission ready.
**Remaining:** Fill M1.2 verification results into findings section, then publish

### M4.3 — OAuth 2.0 / OIDC Flow Specification
### M4.3 — OAuth 2.0 / OIDC Flow Specification ✅ DONE
**Target:** Specify the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow (including PKCE) as a state machine and verify its invariants.
**Dependencies:** M0.3 complete
**Deliverables:**
- `examples/OAuth2AuthorizationCode.speck` — full auth code flow with PKCE
- Invariants: no token leakage, CSRF protection, code reuse prevention, replay attack resistance
- Verification: prove that PKCE prevents authorization code interception
- Sales angle: "We proved OAuth works. Can we prove YOUR auth works?"
**Deliverables:** ✅
- ✅ `examples/OAuth2AuthorizationCode.speck` — 6 actions, 7 invariants, PKCE modeled
- ✅ Invariants: NoTokenLeakage, StateCSRFProtection, AuthorizationCodeSingleUse, TokenValidityBounded, PKCECodeInterceptionPrevention, RedirectUriConsistency, ClientAuthenticationRequired
- Remaining: Z3 verification (depends on M0.3)
**Exit criteria:** OAuth spec compiles and verifies. At least one PKCE invariant proven. Marketing-ready asset.
**Completed:** 2026-05-10. Branch `feature/oauth2-spec`.
