@ -246,7 +246,7 @@ CodeMode executes a deliberately bounded JavaScript subset. It supports:
- Regular expressions - `/literals/` and `new RegExp(...)` with `test`/`exec` (stateful `lastIndex` for `g`), plus string `match`/`matchAll`/`replace`/`replaceAll`/`split`/`search` with patterns. Match results are arrays carrying `index` and named `groups` as own properties (`input` is omitted). `replace` and `replaceAll` accept function replacers with captures, offset, input, and named groups; callbacks run sequentially, may await tool calls, and have their results coerced to strings. Invalid patterns, invalid flags, and missing-`g` calls fail with catchable errors that say what was wrong and how to fix it (escaping hints, the exact `/pattern/g` to write). Patterns run on the host engine, so pathological backtracking is bounded only by the execution timeout.
- `Map` and `Set` - construction from entries/arrays/strings, `get`/`set`/`add`/`has`/`delete`/`clear`/`size`/`forEach`, and `keys`/`values`/`entries` returning **arrays** (not iterators).
- URL helpers - `URL` resolution and mutation, linked `URLSearchParams`, `URL.canParse`/`URL.parse`, URI and URI-component encoding/decoding, and query parameter construction, lookup, mutation, sorting, callbacks, and materialization. URLSearchParams iteration methods return arrays, matching the Map/Set convention.
- First-class promises - an un-awaited `tools.ns.tool(...)` is a promise value whose call starts immediately on a supervised fiber; `await` resolves it (awaiting a non-promise value is a no-op, and `return tools.ns.tool(...)` resolves like an async-function return). Promises support `then`/`catch`/`finally`, including returned-promise flattening and rejection recovery. `Promise.all`, `Promise.allSettled`, and `Promise.race` accept any array mixing promises and plain values (built inline, beforehand, or via spread); `Promise.resolve`/`Promise.reject` construct settled promises. `Promise.allSettled` rejection reasons are the same plain `{ name?, message }` data a `catch` binding sees, and `Promise.race` interrupts its losing in-flight calls. At most 8 tool calls run concurrently. When a program completes, still-running un-awaited calls are awaited before the execution ends; a failure from a call that was never awaited surfaces as an unhandled-rejection diagnostic.

At most 8 tool calls run concurrently. When a program completes, still-running un-awaited calls are awaited before the execution ends; a failure from a call that was never awaited surfaces as an unhandled-rejection diagnostic.
- `throw value` and `throw new Error(message)` for explicit program failure. `Error` (and `TypeError`/`RangeError`/`SyntaxError`/`ReferenceError`/`EvalError`/`URIError`) are real constructors, callable with or without `new`; error values are plain `{ name, message }` data that additionally satisfy `instanceof Error` (a specific type matches itself and `Error`, as in JS). Every caught failure - thrown errors, interpreter runtime errors, and tool failures - is `instanceof Error` in a `catch` block; a thrown non-error value (`throw "text"`) is not, matching JS. Caught failures carry the `name` the equivalent real-JS failure would have - `JSON.parse` and invalid regex patterns produce a `SyntaxError` (satisfying `instanceof SyntaxError`), an unknown identifier a `ReferenceError`, assigning to a constant a `TypeError`, a bad `normalize` form a `RangeError`; failures with no specific analogue (including tool failures) are named `"Error"`. `instanceof` also recognizes `Date`, `RegExp`, `Map`, `Set`, `URL`, `URLSearchParams`, `Array`, `Object`, and `Promise`; any other right-hand side is a catchable error.
Inside a program, standard-library values stay live everywhere: the internal data checkpoints (`Object.*` helpers, spread, coercion inputs) preserve the instances, so `Object.values({ d: date })[0].getTime()` and a spread copy of an object holding a Map keep working. Only at the host boundary (final result, tool arguments, `JSON.stringify`) do they serialize exactly as `JSON.stringify` would: Date and URL become strings (an invalid Date becomes `null`), while RegExp, Map, Set, and URLSearchParams become `{}`. Promise values never cross a data boundary: an un-awaited promise in a result or tool argument produces a diagnostic that says to await it, instead of serializing to `{}`.

- [ ] Decide whether thenable assimilation belongs in the bounded runtime. Promise resolution currently unwraps only
`SandboxPromise`; arbitrary `{ then(resolve, reject) }` values remain data. Full assimilation requires internal
callable resolver values, first-settlement arbitration, recursive adoption, and cycle detection.

- [ ] Support async iteration and `for await...of`. Define behavior first for the runtime's supported promise and
