 ## Current State (as of latest debugging)
 
 - **Testing Infrastructure:**
-  - Test runner and environment variable handling are now robust; DEBUG/DEBUG_SEXPR work as intended.
-  - Most tests pass (37/51), including basic, integration, and many higher-order function tests.
-  - 14 tests still fail, primarily those involving advanced closure/currying, nested lambdas, and some edge-case scoping.
-
-- **Recent Fixes:**
-  - S-expression splitting and body handling for define/lambda/let are robust and debugged.
-  - Compiler now emits correct closure construction (CAPTURE_ENV, PUSH_CONST CLOSURE) before RETURN in lambdas.
-  - Function application parsing and codegen now handle curried and higher-order calls recursively.
-  - Test runner bug with environment variable passing (DEBUG=1) is fixed.
-
-- **Current Closure/Currying Bug:**
-  - Minimal closure/currying tests (e.g., minimal_closure_env, minimal_function_persistence) still fail.
-  - Symptom: After a chain of curried calls, the final value is a number, but the VM/compiler emits an extra CALL, causing 'Undefined function: N:99' or similar errors.
-  - The compiler always emits CALL for function applications, even when the result is not a function.
-  - The test runner workaround (just printing the result) is not sufficient, as the compiler still emits CALL for the last value.
-
-- **Other Failing Patterns:**
-  - Some advanced function, closure, and scoping tests (advanced_functions, closures, lambdas, higher_order_functions) still fail, likely due to the same root issue: incorrect codegen or VM handling for returned closures and final values.
+  - Test runner and environment variable handling are robust; DEBUG/DEBUG_SEXPR work as intended.
+  - Only 6/51 tests pass; 45 fail, including basic, integration, closure, and higher-order function tests.
+  - Most failures are silent (no assertion errors/output), indicating expressions are not being evaluated or CALLs are mis-emitted.
+
+- **Recent Fixes and Attempts:**
+  - Refactored top-level CALL emission logic in the compiler to match idiomatic Scheme/Lisp behavior:
+    - Now, CALL is only emitted for top-level compound expressions whose first symbol is not a special form (define, let, lambda, if, cond, and, or, not).
+    - Special forms are handled by the compiler, not as function calls.
+  - Helper function added to extract the first symbol from a compound expression string.
+  - Type-tracking logic for top-level CALL emission has been removed for simplicity and robustness.
+  - This approach is modeled after working reference implementations (e.g., [maryrosecook/littlelisp](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maryrosecook/littlelisp/refs/heads/master/littlelisp.js)).
+
+- **Current Symptoms:**
+  - Many tests still fail, including basic arithmetic, map, closures, and higher-order functions.
+  - Failures are mostly silent: no assertion errors, no output, suggesting expressions are not being evaluated or results are not printed.
+  - Some improvement: a few more tests pass compared to previous attempts, but the majority still fail.
 
 ## What Has Been Ruled Out
-- For all currently failing tests and with current debug evidence, S-expression splitting and body parsing are robust and not the source of closure/currying bugs.
-- The VM constructs and returns closures correctly when the codegen is correct; no VM-level closure bugs are currently indicated.
-- The test runner and shell environment are not the source of the remaining failures in the current setup.
-
-## Next Steps: Plan for Closure/Currying/Function Application Bugs
+- The VM and test runner are not the source of the remaining failures.
+- S-expression parsing and body handling are robust and not the source of the bug.
+- The new CALL emission logic is more correct, but not sufficient to fix all test failures.
+- The bug is not due to missing CALLs for assert/display/user-defined function calls at the top level.
 
-1. **Targeted Debugging of Failing Closure/Curried Tests:**
-   - Focus on minimal_closure_env, minimal_function_persistence, closures, and advanced_functions.
-   - Use DEBUG_SEXPR=1 and DEBUG=1 to trace codegen and VM execution for these tests.
-   - Confirm exactly where the extra CALL is emitted and why.
+## Next Steps: Plan for Remaining Bugs
 
-2. **Compiler Codegen Review:**
-   - Review compile_primitive_call and related code to ensure CALL is only emitted when the result is expected to be a function.
-   - Consider a minimal patch: at the top-level, avoid emitting CALL for the final value if it is not a function.
-   - Document with TODOs where a more robust, type-aware solution would go.
+1. **Targeted Debugging of Failing Tests:**
+   - Focus on a representative failing test (e.g., basic_numeric_operations, closures, or a simple assert).
+   - Inspect the generated assembly and VM output for these tests to confirm whether CALL is being emitted and executed as expected.
+   - Check for missing PRINT/DISPLAY or incorrect stack state after CALL.
 
-3. **VM/Runtime Review:**
-   - Confirm that the VM leaves the correct value on the stack after each function call, and does not attempt to call non-functions.
-   - Add debug output if needed to trace stack state after each CALL.
+2. **Special Form Handling Review:**
+   - Ensure that all special forms (let, lambda, if, cond, etc.) are handled correctly and do not result in spurious CALLs or missed evaluation.
+   - Confirm that nested expressions within special forms are compiled and evaluated as expected.
 
-4. **Test and Iterate:**
-   - After each fix, re-run the minimal closure/currying tests and confirm progress.
+3. **Test and Iterate:**
+   - After each fix, re-run the minimal and representative tests to confirm progress.
    - Once minimal tests pass, move to more complex closure and higher-order function tests.
 
-5. **Document Findings:**
+4. **Document Findings:**
    - Update this file after each major fix or discovery, so the next debugging session has a clear starting point.
 
 ## Goal (Restated)
-- Ensure closure/currying/function application codegen and VM logic are correct for all cases, including nested and returned lambdas.
-- Eliminate extra CALLs for non-function values at the top level.
+- Ensure top-level and nested expression evaluation is correct for all cases, including special forms, closures, and function applications.
 - Systematically fix all remaining failing tests by following the above plan.

+# Next Steps: Immutable Real-World Programming Features
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the plan for extending the Simple Scripting Language to support real-world programming scenarios while maintaining its immutable, functional design philosophy.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+- **Immutability First**: All data structures are immutable
+- **Transformation Over Mutation**: Operations return new data rather than modifying existing data
+- **Functional Composition**: Complex operations built from simple, composable functions
+- **Type Safety**: Enhanced pattern matching and type checking
+- **Performance**: Efficient persistent data structures
+
+## Phase 1: String Operations and Type System
+
+### 1.1 String Operations
+**Goal**: Add essential string manipulation capabilities
+
+**New Functions**:
+```javascript
+// String operations as functions
+length : string.length "hello";           // 5
+contains : string.contains "hello" "ll";  // true
+startsWith : string.startsWith "hello" "he"; // true
+endsWith : string.endsWith "hello" "lo";  // true
+substring : string.substring "hello" 1 3; // "el"
+
+// String concatenation
+result : string.concat "Hello" " " "World"; // "Hello World"
+
+// String transformation
+uppercase : string.upper "hello";         // "HELLO"
+lowercase : string.lower "HELLO";         // "hello"
+trimmed : string.trim "  hello  ";        // "hello"
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Add `string.` namespace for string operations
+- Add string operation functions to standard library
+- No new syntax - uses existing function call patterns
+- Extend existing string literal support
+
+### 1.2 Runtime Type Checking with `is` Keyword
+**Goal**: Add explicit, optional type checking mechanism using the `is` keyword
+
+**Design Philosophy**:
+- Type checking is purely additive - no breaking changes to existing code
+- Works seamlessly with existing case expression syntax
+- Returns boolean values, fitting the functional style
+- Simple implementation with clear semantics
+
+**New Features**:
+```javascript
+// Basic type checking
+isNumber : x -> x is number;
+isString : x -> x is string;
+isTable : x -> x is table;
+isFunction : x -> x is function;
+
+// Type-safe operations in case expressions
+safeStringOp : x -> case x of
+    x is string : string.length x
+    _ : "not a string";
+
+// Complex type validation
+validateUser : user -> case user of
+    user.name is string and user.age is number : true
+    _ : false;
+
+// Type guards in pattern matching
+processData : data -> case data of
+    data is table : "processing table"
+    data is string : "processing string"
+    data is number : "processing number"
+    _ : "unknown type";
+```
+
+**Supported Types**:
+- `number` (both integers and floats)
+- `string` 
+- `boolean`
+- `table` (objects and arrays)
+- `function`
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Add `IS` token type and type-specific tokens (`NUMBER_TYPE`, `STRING_TYPE`, etc.)
+- Update lexer to recognize `is` keyword and type names
+- Extend parser to handle type checking expressions in case patterns
+- Add type checking logic in interpreter that returns boolean values
+- No changes to existing syntax or semantics
+
+## Phase 2: Persistent Data Structures
+
+### 2.1 Immutable Tables with Transformations
+**Goal**: Replace mutable table operations with immutable transformations
+
+**Current Problem**:
+```javascript
+// This won't work (mutable)
+cache[key] = value;
+```
+
+**Solution - Functional Immutable Transformations**:
+```javascript
+// Functional transformations using table namespace
+cache : {};
+cache1 : table.set cache "user.1" "Alice";
+cache2 : table.set cache1 "user.2" "Bob";
+value : table.get cache2 "user.1";  // "Alice"
+cache3 : table.delete cache2 "user.1";
+
+// Nested updates with dot notation
+user : {name: "Alice", profile: {age: 25}};
+updatedUser : table.set user "profile.age" 26;
+
+// Complex transformations using composition
+cache1 : pipe
+    (table.set "user.1" "Alice")
+    (table.set "user.2" "Bob")
+    (table.set "user.3" "Charlie")
+    cache;
+
+// Table merging
+combined : table.merge table1 table2;
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Add `table.set`, `table.get`, `table.delete`, `table.merge` functions
+- Implement efficient structural sharing for immutable updates
+- Add nested key support (e.g., "profile.age")
+- All functions return new tables, never modify originals
+- Use existing function composition patterns
+
+### 2.2 APL-Inspired Table Primitives
+**Goal**: Enhance tables with APL-style operations for ergonomic data manipulation
+
+**Design Philosophy**:
+- Use existing table syntax for array-like behavior
+- Add APL-inspired primitives for vectorized operations
+- Keep immutable transformations
+- Provide concise, expressive data manipulation
+
+**New Features**:
+```javascript
+// Table creation (array-like using existing syntax)
+numbers : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
+mixed : {1, "hello", true, {key: "value"}};
+
+// All table operations namespaced for consistency
+first : table.first numbers;              // First element
+last : table.last numbers;                // Last element
+length : table.length numbers;            // Size/shape
+
+// Less common operations (namespaced)
+rest : table.drop 1 numbers;        // Drop first element  
+slice : table.slice numbers 2 3;    // Elements 2-3
+
+// Vectorized operations
+doubled : table.add numbers numbers;      // Element-wise addition
+squared : table.multiply numbers numbers; // Element-wise multiplication
+incremented : table.add numbers 1;        // Scalar addition to each element
+
+// Reductions (all namespaced)
+sum : table.sum numbers;                 // Sum reduction
+max : table.max numbers;                 // Maximum reduction
+min : table.min numbers;                 // Minimum reduction
+product : table.product numbers;   // Product reduction
+average : table.average numbers;   // Average reduction
+
+// Scan operations (namespaced)
+runningSum : table.scan table.sum numbers;        // Running sum scan
+runningProduct : table.scan table.product numbers; // Running product scan
+
+// Table metadata operations
+keys : table.keys table;           // Get all keys
+values : table.values table;       // Get all values
+reversed : table.reverse table;    // Reverse order
+sorted : table.sort table;         // Sort
+unique : table.unique table;       // Remove duplicates
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Add `table.` namespace for all table operations
+- Extend lexer to recognize table operation keywords
+- Add vectorized operation logic in interpreter
+- Implement reduction and scan operations
+- Add table metadata operations
+
+## Phase 3: Higher-Order Functions for Collections
+
+### 3.1 Enhanced Standard Library
+**Goal**: Add collection processing functions
+
+**New Functions**:
+```javascript
+// Table processing (using namespaced primitives)
+numbers : {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
+doubled : map @double numbers;                // {2, 4, 6, 8, 10}
+evens : filter @isEven numbers;               // {2, 4}
+sum : table.sum numbers;                      // 15 (sum reduction)
+
+// Table metadata operations
+table : {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
+keys : table.keys table;                      // {a, b, c}
+values : table.values table;                  // {1, 2, 3}
+pairs : table.pairs table;                    // {{a, 1}, {b, 2}, {c, 3}}
+
+// Advanced operations with tables
+nested : {{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {5}};
+flattened : table.flatten nested;             // {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
+grouped : table.groupBy @isEven numbers;     // {true: {2, 4}, false: {1, 3, 5}}
+
+// Table operations
+reversed : table.reverse numbers;             // {5, 4, 3, 2, 1}
+sorted : table.sort numbers;                  // {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
+unique : table.unique {1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4};   // {1, 2, 3, 4}
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Extend existing `map`, `filter`, `reduce` to work with tables
+- Implement vectorized operations for tables
+- Add reduction and scan operations
+- Implement table metadata operations
+
+### 3.2 Table Generation Helpers
+**Goal**: Add convenient table creation functions
+
+**New Functions**:
+```javascript
+// Table generation helpers
+range : table.range 1 5;           // {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
+repeated : table.repeat "hello" 3; // {"hello", "hello", "hello"}
+
+// Use existing map/filter instead of comprehensions
+squares : map (x -> x * x) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
+evens : filter @isEven {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
+```
+
+## Phase 4: Error Handling with Error Type
+
+### 4.1 Error Type
+**Goal**: Provide consistent error handling without complex monads
+
+**Implementation**:
+```javascript
+// Simple error type
+error : message -> {type: "error", message: message};
+
+// Safe operations with error handling
+safeDivide : x y -> case y of
+    0 : error "division by zero"
+    _ : x / y;
+
+safeParseNumber : str -> case str of
+    str is number : str
+    _ : error "invalid number";
+
+// Error checking
+isError : value -> value is error;
+getErrorMessage : error -> case error of
+    {type: "error", message: m} : m;
+```
+
+## Phase 5: Real-World Scenario Support
+
+### 5.1 User Management System
+**Immutable Implementation**:
+```javascript
+// User validation
+isValidEmail : email -> case email of
+    email contains "@" : true
+    _ : false;
+
+createUser : name email age -> case (isValidEmail email) and (isValidAge age) of
+    true : {name: name, email: email, age: age, status: "active"}
+    false : error "invalid user data";
+
+// User management
+users : {};
+user1 : createUser "Alice" "alice@example.com" 25;
+users1 : table.set users "user.1" user1;
+user2 : createUser "Bob" "bob@example.com" 30;
+users2 : table.set users1 "user.2" user2;
+
+// Safe user lookup
+findUser : email users -> case users of
+    {} : error "user not found"
+    _ : case (table.first users).email = email of
+        true : table.first users
+        false : findUser email (table.drop 1 users);
+```
+
+### 5.2 Shopping Cart System
+**Immutable Implementation**:
+```javascript
+// Cart operations
+emptyCart : {items: {}, total: 0};
+addItem : cart item -> {
+    items: table.set cart.items (table.length cart.items + 1) item,
+    total: cart.total + item.price
+};
+removeItem : cart itemId -> {
+    items: filter (item -> item.id != itemId) cart.items,
+    total: calculateTotal (filter (item -> item.id != itemId) cart.items)
+};
+
+// Discount application
+applyDiscount : cart discountPercent -> {
+    items: cart.items,
+    total: cart.total * (1 - discountPercent / 100)
+};
+```
+
+### 5.3 Data Processing Pipeline

+```javascript
+// Data processing
+salesData : {
+    {month: "Jan", sales: 1000, region: "North"},
+    {month: "Feb", sales: 1200, region: "North"},
+    {month: "Mar", sales: 800, region: "South"}
+};
+
+// Filter by region
+filterByRegion : data region -> filter (item -> item.region = region) data;
+
+// Calculate totals using sum reduction
+sumSales : data -> table.sum (map (item -> item.sales) data);
+
+// Process pipeline
+northData : filterByRegion salesData "North";
+northTotal : sumSales northData;
+```

+## Benefits of Runtime Type Checking Approach
+
+### Simplicity

+- **Clear Semantics**: `x is number` is obviously a boolean expression
+- **Consistent Syntax**: Works seamlessly with existing case expressions
+
+### Functional Design
+- **Boolean Results**: Type checking returns true/false, fitting functional style
+- **Composable**: Can combine with logical operators (`and`, `or`, `not`)
+- **Pattern Matching**: Integrates naturally with case expressions
+- **No Side Effects**: Pure functions for type validation
+
+### Extensibility
+- **Easy to Add Types**: Simple to extend for new types (arrays, tuples, etc.)

+- [ ] Performance within acceptable bounds (no more than 2x slower than current)
+- [ ] Memory usage remains reasonable
+- [ ] Code remains readable and maintainable
+- [ ] Backward compatibility maintained
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+### Advanced Features (Post-v1.0)

+# Simple Scripting Language
+
+A functional programming language with immutable variables, first-class functions, and pattern matching.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Immutable Variables**: Variables cannot be reassigned
+- **First-Class Functions**: Functions can be passed as arguments and stored in data structures
+- **Lexical Scoping**: Functions create their own scope
+- **Pattern Matching**: Case expressions with wildcard support
+- **Table Literals**: Lua-style tables with both array-like and key-value entries
+- **Standard Library**: Built-in higher-order functions (`map`, `compose`, `pipe`, `apply`, `filter`, `reduce`, `fold`, `curry`)
+- **IO Operations**: Built-in input/output operations (`..in`, `..out`, `..assert`)
+- **Floating Point Arithmetic**: Full support for decimal numbers
+- **Unary Minus**: Support for negative numbers (e.g., `-1`, `-3.14`)
+
+## Syntax
+
+### Basic Operations
+```
+/* Arithmetic */
+x : 5 + 3;
+y : 10 - 2;
+z : 4 * 3;
+w : 15 / 3;
+neg : -5;  /* Unary minus */
+
+/* Comparisons */
+result : x > y;
+equal : a = b;
+not_equal : a != b;
+
+/* Logical */
+and_result : true and false;
+or_result : true or false;
+```
+
+### Variables and Functions
+```
+/* Immutable variables */
+x : 42;
+y : "hello";
+
+/* Function definition */
+f : x -> x * 2;
+
+/* Function call */
+result : f 5;
+```
+
+### Tables
+```
+/* Table literal */
+table : {1, 2, 3, key: "value"};
+
+/* Table access */
+first : table[1];
+value : table.key;
+nested : table.key.subkey;
+```
+
+### Pattern Matching
+```
+/* Case expression */
+result : case x of
+    1 : "one"
+    2 : "two"
+    _ : "other";
+```
+
+### IO Operations
+```
+/* Output */
+..out "Hello, World!";
+
+/* Input */
+name : ..in;
+
+/* Assertion */
+..assert x = 5;
+```
+
+### Standard Library
+```
+/* Map */
+double : x -> x * 2;
+squared : map @double 5;
+
+/* Filter */
+isPositive : x -> x > 0;
+filtered : filter @isPositive 5;
+
+/* Compose */
+f : x -> x + 1;
+g : x -> x * 2;
+h : compose @f @g;
+result : h 5;  /* (5 * 2) + 1 = 11 */
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Running Scripts
+```bash
+node lang.js script.txt
+```
+
+### Testing
+The project uses a structured testing approach with unit and integration tests:
+
+#### Unit Tests
+Located in `tests/` directory, each focusing on a specific language feature:
+- `01_lexer_basic.txt` - Basic lexer functionality
+- `02_arithmetic_operations.txt` - Arithmetic operations
+- `03_comparison_operators.txt` - Comparison operators
+- `04_logical_operators.txt` - Logical operators
+- `05_io_operations.txt` - IO operations

+
+#### Running Tests
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+./run_tests.sh
+
+# Run individual tests
+node lang.js tests/01_lexer_basic.txt
+node lang.js tests/integration_01_basic_features.txt
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Architecture
+- **Lexer**: Tokenizes input into tokens (numbers, identifiers, operators, etc.)
+- **Parser**: Builds Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) from tokens
+- **Interpreter**: Executes AST with scope management
+
+### Key Components
+- **Token Types**: Supports all basic operators, literals, and special tokens
+- **AST Nodes**: Expression, statement, and declaration nodes
+- **Scope Management**: Lexical scoping with proper variable resolution
+- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error reporting for parsing and execution
+
+## Recent Fixes
+
+### ✅ Parser Ambiguity with Unary Minus Arguments (Latest Fix)
+- **Issue**: `filter @isPositive -3` was incorrectly parsed as binary operation instead of function call with unary minus argument
+- **Root Cause**: Parser treating `FunctionReference MINUS` as binary minus operation
+- **Solution**: Added special case in `parseExpression()` to handle `FunctionReference MINUS` pattern
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved - Standard library functions now work with negative arguments
+
+### ✅ Unary Minus Operator
+- **Issue**: Stack overflow when parsing negative numbers (e.g., `-1`)
+- **Root Cause**: Parser lacked specific handling for unary minus operator
+- **Solution**: Added `UnaryMinusExpression` parsing and evaluation
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved - All tests passing
+
+### ✅ IO Operation Parsing
+- **Issue**: IO operations not parsed correctly at top level
+- **Solution**: Moved IO parsing to proper precedence level
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved
+
+### ✅ Decimal Number Support
+- **Issue**: Decimal numbers not handled correctly
+- **Solution**: Updated lexer and interpreter to use `parseFloat()`
+- **Status**: ✅ Resolved
+
+## Known Issues
+
+### 🔄 Logical Operator Precedence
+- **Issue**: Logical operators (`and`, `or`, `xor`) have incorrect precedence relative to function calls
+- **Example**: `isEven 10 and isPositive 5` is parsed as `isEven(10 and isPositive(5))` instead of `(isEven 10) and (isPositive 5)`
+- **Impact**: Complex expressions with logical operators may not evaluate correctly
+- **Status**: 🔄 In Progress - Working on proper operator precedence hierarchy
+- **Workaround**: Use parentheses to explicitly group expressions: `(isEven 10) and (isPositive 5)`
+
+### 🔄 Parentheses Parsing with Logical Operators
+- **Issue**: Some expressions with logical operators inside parentheses fail to parse
+- **Example**: `add (multiply 3 4) (isEven 10 and isPositive 5)` may fail with parsing errors
+- **Status**: 🔄 In Progress - Related to logical operator precedence issue

-// Parser
+/**
+ * Parser: Converts tokens to an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
+ * 
+ * @param {Array.<Object>} tokens - Array of tokens from the lexer
+ * @returns {Object} Abstract Syntax Tree with program body
+ * @throws {Error} For parsing errors like unexpected tokens or missing delimiters
+ * 
+ * @description Implements a recursive descent parser that builds an AST from tokens.
+ * Handles all language constructs including expressions, statements, function 
+ * definitions, case expressions, table literals, and IO operations.
+ * 
+ * @how Implements a recursive descent parser, with separate functions for each 
+ * precedence level (expression, term, factor, primary). Handles chained table 
+ * access, function calls, and complex constructs like case expressions and 
+ * function definitions.
+ * 
+ * @why Recursive descent is chosen for its clarity and flexibility, especially 
+ * for a language with many context-sensitive constructs (e.g., case expressions, 
+ * function definitions, chained access). The parser is structured to minimize 
+ * circular dependencies and infinite recursion, with careful placement of IO 
+ * and case expression parsing.
+ * 
+ * @note The parser supports multi-parameter case expressions and function 
+ * definitions, using lookahead to distinguish between assignments and function 
+ * declarations. Table literals are parsed with support for both array-like and 
+ * key-value entries, inspired by Lua.

+ * 
+ * @note The interpreter is split into three functions: evalNode (global),
