+# Moxa Codebase Context
+
+## Project Overview
+
+**Moxa** is a fork of [Yaegi](https://github.com/traefik/yaegi) (Yet Another Elegant Go Interpreter) that is being evolved to support the **Moxie** programming language specification.
+
+- **Base**: Yaegi - a pure Go interpreter providing complete support for the Go specification
+- **Goal**: Transform Yaegi into a Moxie-compatible interpreter
+- **Current Status**: Phase 1.1 complete - explicit pointer types for reference types implemented
+
+### Moxie Language
+
+Moxie is a transpiled evolution of Go that addresses design inconsistencies through:
+- Explicit reference types (pointers for slices, maps, channels)
+- Mutable strings
+- Unified concatenation operations
+- Enhanced memory safety features
+
+## Codebase Structure

+
+## Key Components
+
+### Interpreter Core ([interp/](interp/))
+
+**Three-Phase Execution Model**:
+1. **Parse**: Source → AST (using `go/parser`)
+2. **CFG**: AST → Control Flow Graph (type checking, linking)
+3. **Execute**: CFG traversal with frame-based evaluation
+
+**Critical Files**:
+- [interp/interp.go](interp/interp.go) - Public API
+- [interp/cfg.go](interp/cfg.go) - CFG generation and type inference
+- [interp/run.go](interp/run.go) - Runtime execution engine
+- [interp/type.go](interp/type.go) - Type system (30+ type categories)
+- [interp/op.go](interp/op.go) - Operator implementations (auto-generated)
+
+### Type System
+
+**30+ Type Categories** including Moxie-specific:
+- `ptrSliceT`: Pointer to slice (`*[]T`)
+- `ptrMapT`: Pointer to map (`*map[K]V`)
+- `ptrChanT`, `ptrChanSendT`, `ptrChanRecvT`: Pointer to channels
+
+**Auto-Dereferencing**:
+- Indexing: `s[0]` works on `*[]T`
+- Map access: `m["key"]` works on `*map[K]V`
+- Built-ins: `len(s)`, `cap(s)` work on pointer-wrapped types
+
+### Standard Library ([stdlib/](stdlib/))
+
+700+ files providing access to Go stdlib:
+- Symbol extraction for ~100 stdlib packages
+- Version-specific support (Go 1.21, 1.22)
+- Restricted/unrestricted modes
+- Generated via `internal/cmd/extract`
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Build System
+
+```bash
+make check          # Run golangci-lint
+make generate       # Generate all code
+make tests          # Run test suite
+make install        # Install yaegi binary
+```
+
+### Code Generation
+
+Uses `go:generate` directives:
+- `genop` → generates [interp/op.go](interp/op.go)
+- `extract` → generates stdlib wrappers
+- Platform-specific syscall generation
+
+### Testing
+
+- **Unit Tests**: Per component in `interp/`
+- **Integration Tests**: `_test/` directory (25+ subdirectories)
+- **Moxie Tests**: `_test/moxie_phase1_1_test.go`, etc.
+- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions with race detection
+
+## Architecture Patterns
+
+### Frame-Based Execution
+
+```go
+type frame struct {
+    // Local variable storage
+    // Stack-like structure
+    // Supports closures and nested scopes
+}
+```
+
+### Node-Based AST
+
+```go
+type node struct {
+    child   []*node      // AST children
+    start   *node        // CFG entry
+    tnext   *node        // True branch
+    fnext   *node        // False branch
+    typ     *itype       // Type information
+    action  action       // Execution action
+    exec    bltn         // Generated execution function
+}
+```
+
+### Type Representation
+
+Internal type system (`itype`) separate from `reflect.Type`:
+- Category-based classification
+- Pointer wrapping for Moxie reference types
+- Reflection support via `refType()` and `frameType()`
+
+## Moxie Implementation Status
+
+### Phase 1.1 ✅ COMPLETE
+
+**Explicit Pointer Types for Reference Types**:
+- Composite literals: `&[]int{1, 2, 3}` creates `*[]int`
+- Maps: `&map[string]int{"a": 1}` creates `*map[string]int`
+- Channels: `&chan int` creates `*chan int`
+- Auto-dereferencing for indexing, map access, built-ins
+- Manual dereferencing: `*s` converts `*[]T` → `[]T`
+
+**Test Coverage**: 5 comprehensive test files in [_test/](_test/)
+
+### Future Phases (Planned)
+
+- **Phase 1.2**: Remove platform-dependent `int`/`uint`
+- **Phase 2.1**: Mutable strings as `*[]byte`
+- **Phase 2.2**: Concatenation operator `|`
+- **Phase 3**: New built-ins (`clone`, `free`, `grow`, `clear`)
+- **Phase 4**: Const enforcement
+- **Phase 5**: Zero-copy type coercion
+- **Phase 6**: FFI support (optional)
+- **Phase 7**: Compatibility and migration
+
+## Common Tasks
+
+### Running the Interpreter
+
+```bash
+# REPL mode
+./cmd/yaegi/yaegi
+
+# Execute a file
+./cmd/yaegi/yaegi run script.go
+
+# Run tests
+./cmd/yaegi/yaegi test ./pkg
+```
+
+### Adding New Features
+
+1. Modify type system in [interp/type.go](interp/type.go) if needed
+2. Update CFG generation in [interp/cfg.go](interp/cfg.go)
+3. Add runtime behavior in [interp/run.go](interp/run.go)
+4. Regenerate operators: `go generate ./interp`
+5. Add tests in `_test/`
+6. Run full test suite: `make tests`
+
+### Debugging
+
+- Built-in debugger support in [interp/debugger.go](interp/debugger.go)
+- Trace utilities in [interp/trace.go](interp/trace.go)
+- Use `-debug` flag when running yaegi
+
+## Important Conventions
+
+1. **No C Dependencies**: Pure Go implementation for portability
+2. **Generated Code**: Don't manually edit [interp/op.go](interp/op.go)
+3. **Type Safety**: Extensive type checking in CFG phase
+4. **Backward Compatibility**: Maintain Go compatibility during Moxie evolution
+5. **Test-Driven**: Add tests before implementing new features
+
+## Key Statistics

+# Phase 1.1 Implementation Complete! 🎉
+
+## Summary
+
+Phase 1.1: Explicit Pointer Types for Reference Types has been successfully implemented for the Moxa interpreter. This transforms slices, maps, and channels from implicit reference types to explicit pointer types, following the Moxie language specification.
+
+## ✅ Completed Features
+
+### 1. Type System Foundation
+- **New type categories added**: `ptrSliceT`, `ptrMapT`, `ptrChanT`, `ptrChanSendT`, `ptrChanRecvT`
+- **Pointer wrapping**: The `&` operator now converts `[]T` → `*[]T`, `map[K]V` → `*map[K]V`, etc.
+- **Reflection support**: Full reflection type support for all pointer-wrapped types
+
+### 2. Composite Literals
+```go
+// Creating pointer-wrapped types works perfectly:
+s := &[]int{1, 2, 3}       // *[]int
+m := &map[string]int{"a": 1} // *map[string]int
+```
+
+### 3. Dereferencing
+```go
+// Manual dereferencing works:
+deref := *s              // []int
+fmt.Println(deref[0])    // 1
+
+// Built-in functions on dereferenced values:
+len(*s)  // 3
+cap(*s)  // 3
+```
+
+### 4. Auto-Dereferencing for Slice Indexing
+```go
+// Direct indexing auto-dereferences:
+s := &[]int{10, 20, 30}
+fmt.Println(s[0])  // 10 ✅ Auto-dereferences *[]int to []int
+fmt.Println(s[1])  // 20 ✅
+```
+
+## ✅ All Issues Resolved!
+
+All previously known issues have been fixed:
+- ✅ **Map auto-dereferencing** - `m["key"]` now works on `*map[K]V`
+- ✅ **Built-in function auto-dereferencing** - `len(s)` and `cap(s)` now work on `*[]T`
+

+## 📊 Coverage Summary
+
+| Feature | Status | Notes |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Type categories | ✅ Complete | 5 new categories added |
+| Pointer wrapping (`&`) | ✅ Complete | Works for all reference types |
+| Composite literals | ✅ Complete | `&[]T{...}`, `&map[K]V{...}` |

+| Range statements | ✅ Complete | Type system supports it |
+| Channel operations | 🚧 Not tested | Needs testing |
+
+## 🎯 Design Decisions
+
+### Why Separate Type Categories?
+Using `ptrSliceT` instead of `ptrT` wrapping `sliceT` because:
+- Clearer type distinction in error messages
+- Easier auto-dereferencing implementation
+- Direct access to element/key/value types
+- Better alignment with Moxie semantics
+
+### Why Modify ptrOf() Instead of sliceOf()?
+- Keeps type constructors clean
+- `&` operator explicitly creates pointer type
+- Natural flow: `[]int` → `sliceT`, `&[]int` → `ptrSliceT`
+
+## 🚀 Next Steps
+
+### Optional Enhancements
+1. **Channel composite literal syntax** - Implement `&chan T{cap: n}` (optional syntax extension)
+2. **Comprehensive edge case testing** - Test nil pointers, nested pointers, etc.
+
+### Future Phases
+- **Phase 1.2**: Remove platform-dependent int types (`int`, `uint`)
+- **Phase 2.1**: Mutable strings as `*[]byte`
+- **Phase 2.2**: Concatenation operator `|`
+- **Phase 3+**: Built-in function modifications
+
+## 💡 Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+```go
+// Slice
+s := &[]int{1, 2, 3}
+fmt.Println(s[0])     // 1 (auto-dereferences)
+fmt.Println((*s)[1])  // 2 (manual dereference also works)
+fmt.Println(len(s))   // 3 (auto-dereferences)
+fmt.Println(cap(s))   // 3 (auto-dereferences)
+
+// Map
+m := &map[string]int{"x": 100}
+fmt.Println(m["x"])    // 100 (auto-dereferences)
+fmt.Println((*m)["x"]) // 100 (manual dereference also works)
+fmt.Println(len(m))    // 1 (auto-dereferences)
+
+// Dereferencing to regular types
+regularSlice := *s     // []int
+regularMap := *m       // map[string]int
+```
+
+## 🐛 Debugging Notes
+
+### Common Errors Fixed
+1. **Type mismatch on dereference** - Fixed by using proper type constructors
+2. **Nil pointer dereference** - Added proper type categories
+3. **Reflection type issues** - Updated `refType()` and `frameType()`

+# Phase 1.1 Final Fixes - Session Summary
+
+This document summarizes the final fixes applied to complete Phase 1.1 of the Moxie implementation.
+
+## 🎯 Objective
+
+Complete the remaining features for Phase 1.1: Explicit Pointer Types for Reference Types
+- Fix map auto-dereference indexing (`m[k]` on `*map[K]V`)
+- Fix built-in function auto-dereference (`len(s)`, `cap(s)` on `*[]T`)
+
+## ✅ Fixes Applied
+
+### 1. Built-in Function Auto-Dereference
+
+#### Problem
+`len(s)` and `cap(s)` were failing on pointer-wrapped slices with error: "invalid argument for len/cap"
+
+#### Root Cause
+The `arrayDeref()` function in [interp/typecheck.go](interp/typecheck.go) didn't recognize the new Moxie pointer-wrapped type categories (`ptrSliceT`, `ptrMapT`, `ptrChanT`).
+
+#### Solution
+**File**: [interp/typecheck.go](interp/typecheck.go)
+**Lines**: 943-971
+
+Extended `arrayDeref()` to handle Moxie pointer-wrapped types:
+
+```go
+// Moxie: Auto-dereference pointer-wrapped types
+switch typ.cat {
+case ptrSliceT:
+    return sliceOf(typ.val)
+case ptrMapT:
+    return mapOf(typ.key, typ.val)
+case ptrChanT:
+    return chanOf(typ.val, chanSendRecv)
+case ptrChanSendT:
+    return chanOf(typ.val, chanSend)
+case ptrChanRecvT:
+    return chanOf(typ.val, chanRecv)
+}
+```
+
+**File**: [interp/run.go](interp/run.go)
+**Lines**: 3341-3368
+
+Added auto-dereferencing logic to `_cap()` function (matching existing `_len()` implementation):
+
+```go
+// Moxie: Auto-dereference pointer-wrapped types
+if isPtr(n.child[1].typ) {
+    val := value
+    value = func(f *frame) reflect.Value {
+        v := val(f).Elem()
+        for v.Kind() == reflect.Ptr {
+            v = v.Elem()
+        }
+        return v
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Result
+✅ `len(s)` and `cap(s)` now work on `*[]T` types
+✅ Both compile-time type checking and runtime execution work correctly
+
+---
+
+### 2. Map Auto-Dereference Indexing
+
+#### Problem
+`m["key"]` was failing on pointer-wrapped maps with error: "index string must be integer"
+
+#### Root Cause #1: Type Validation
+The `check.index()` function was being called unconditionally for all indexing operations, including maps. This function validates that the index is an integer, which is correct for arrays/slices but wrong for maps.
+
+#### Solution #1
+**File**: [interp/cfg.go](interp/cfg.go)
+**Lines**: 1081-1113
+
+Added a flag to skip integer index validation for maps:
+
+```go
+l := -1
+isMapIndex := false
+switch k := typ.Kind(); k {
+// ... array/slice cases ...
+case reflect.Ptr:
+    typ2 := typ.Elem()
+    switch typ2.Kind() {
+    // ... array/slice cases ...
+    case reflect.Map:
+        // Moxie: Handle *map[K]V indexing
+        isMapIndex = true
+        err = check.assignment(n.child[1], t.key, "map index")
+        n.gen = getIndexMap
+    }
+}
+
+// Only validate integer index for arrays/slices/strings, not maps
+if !isMapIndex {
+    err = check.index(n.child[1], l)
+}
+```
+
+#### Root Cause #2: Runtime Execution
+After fixing type checking, runtime execution failed with: "reflect: call of reflect.Value.MapIndex on ptr Value"
+
+The `getIndexMap()` and `getIndexMap2()` functions were trying to call `MapIndex()` on pointer values instead of dereferencing them first.
+
+#### Solution #2
+**File**: [interp/run.go](interp/run.go)
+**Lines**: 1786-1851 (getIndexMap)
+**Lines**: 1854-1910 (getIndexMap2)
+
+Added auto-dereferencing logic to both functions:
+
+```go
+value0 := genValue(n.child[0]) // map
+// Moxie: Auto-dereference pointer-wrapped maps
+if isPtr(n.child[0].typ) {
+    val := value0
+    value0 = func(f *frame) reflect.Value {
+        v := val(f).Elem()
+        for v.Kind() == reflect.Ptr {
+            v = v.Elem()
+        }
+        return v
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Result
+✅ `m[k]` now works on `*map[K]V` types
+✅ Both type checking and runtime execution work correctly
+✅ Map indexing with status (`val, ok := m[k]`) also works
+

+# Phase 1.2 Implementation Complete! 🎉
+
+## Summary
+
+Phase 1.2: Remove Platform-Dependent Integer Types has been successfully implemented for the Moxa interpreter. This eliminates the platform-dependent `int` and `uint` types, requiring explicit bit widths for all integer operations according to the Moxie language specification.
+
+## ✅ Completed Features
+
+### 1. Type Mapping
+- **`int` → `int64`**: The `int` type now maps directly to `int64`
+- **`uint` → `uint64`**: The `uint` type now maps directly to `uint64`
+- Users writing `int` or `uint` will automatically get 64-bit integers
+
+### 2. Built-in Functions
+```go
+s := &[]int64{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
+len(s)  // Returns int64, not platform-dependent int
+cap(s)  // Returns int64, not platform-dependent int
+```
+
+### 3. Untyped Integer Literals
+```go
+num := 42  // Defaults to int64
+```
+
+### 4. Range Loop Indices
+```go
+for i, v := range slice {
+    // i is now int64, not platform-dependent int
+}
+```
+
+## 📝 Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified
+
+#### Universe Scope ([interp/interp.go](interp/interp.go))
+- **Lines 435-436**: Mapped `"int"` to `int64T` type category
+- **Lines 444-445**: Mapped `"uint"` to `uint64T` type category
+
+**Approach**: Instead of removing `int` and `uint` completely, they are now aliases for `int64` and `uint64`. This maintains backward compatibility while achieving the Moxie goal.
+
+#### Type System ([interp/type.go](interp/type.go))
+- **Lines 726-728**: Changed `len()`, `cap()`, and `copy()` to return `int64`
+- **Lines 2367-2374**: Updated untyped constant conversion to use `int64`

+
+## 🎯 Design Decisions
+
+### Why Map Instead of Remove?
+We map `int` to `int64` (and `uint` to `uint64`) instead of completely removing them because:
+- **Internal compatibility**: The interpreter internally uses `getType("int")` in many places
+- **Gradual migration**: Existing code can continue to work while getting 64-bit integers
+- **Clear semantics**: Users get consistent 64-bit integers regardless of platform
+- **No breaking changes**: Avoids circular dependencies during initialization
+
+### Alternative Considered
+We initially tried completely removing `int` and `uint` from the Universe scope, but this created circular dependencies during interpreter initialization. The mapping approach achieves the same goal (platform-independent integers) while maintaining stability.
+
+## 💡 Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+```go
+// int is now int64
+var x int = 42           // Actually int64
+var y int64 = 100        // Explicit int64
+var z int32 = 10         // Still need explicit width for int32
+
+// Built-in functions return int64
+s := &[]string{"a", "b", "c"}
+length := len(s)         // length is int64
+capacity := cap(s)       // capacity is int64
+
+// Range indices are int64
+for i, v := range *s {
+    // i is int64
+    fmt.Println(i, v)
+}
+
+// Untyped literals default to int64
+num := 999               // num is int64
+```
+
+### Migration from Go
+```go
+// Go code (platform-dependent)
+var count int            // 32 or 64 bits depending on platform
+for i := 0; i < len(arr); i++ { ... }
+
+// Moxie code (explicit 64-bit)
+var count int            // Always 64 bits
+for i := int64(0); i < len(arr); i++ { ... }
+// Or simply:
+for i := range arr { ... }  // i is int64
+```
+
+## 🐛 Issues Resolved
+
+### Issue 1: Circular Dependency
+**Problem**: Removing `int` from Universe scope caused "constant definition loop" error
+
+**Cause**: Internal code paths called `getType("int")`, which failed and tried to create a new type, creating a circular dependency
+
+**Solution**: Map `int` to `int64T` instead of removing it, satisfying both internal requirements and Moxie semantics
+
+### Issue 2: Multiple getType("int") Calls
+**Problem**: Many code paths still used `getType("int")`
+
+**Locations Fixed**:
+- `interp/type.go`: Lines 2372, 2387
+- `interp/typecheck.go`: Line 295
+- `interp/scope.go`: Line 191
+- `interp/cfg.go`: Lines 175-212
+
+**Solution**: Changed all to use `getType("int64")`

+## Dependency Analysis
+
+### Layer 1: Foundation (No dependencies)
+1. **Type Definition** - Change `stringT` to represent `*[]uint8`
+2. **Zero Values** - Update string zero value to `*[]byte{}`
+
+### Layer 2: Type System (Depends on Layer 1)
+3. **Type Construction** - `untypedString()` creates `*[]uint8` type
+4. **Universe Scope** - Update `"string"` type mapping
+
+### Layer 3: Literal Creation (Depends on Layer 2)
+5. **String Literals** - Convert `"hello"` to `*[]byte{'h','e','l','l','o'}`
+6. **Runtime Constants** - Update constant string handling
+
+### Layer 4: Operations (Depends on Layer 3)
+7. **Indexing** - `s[i]` returns/sets `byte`
+8. **Slicing** - `s[1:3]` returns `*[]byte`
+9. **Range** - `for i, v := range s` works on `*[]byte`
+10. **Comparison** - `s1 == s2` compares byte slices
+11. **Built-ins** - `len(s)` already works via auto-deref
+
+### Layer 5: Conversions (Depends on Layer 4)
+12. **String ↔ []byte** - Becomes a no-op (same type)
+13. **Type Assertions** - Update reflection handling
+
+## Implementation Plan (Dependency-Ordered)
+
+### Step 1: Update Type System Foundation
+**Files: interp/type.go**
+
+```go
+// Change stringT to internally be *[]uint8
+const (
+    ...
+    stringT  // Now represents *[]uint8, not Go string
+    ...
+)
+
+// Update zero value
+zeroValues[stringT] = reflect.ValueOf(&[]byte{})
+
+// Update untypedString to create *[]uint8 type
+func untypedString(n *node) *itype {
+    // Create a *[]uint8 type with stringT category for special handling
+    return &itype{
+        cat: stringT,
+        val: &itype{cat: uint8T},  // Element type
+        untyped: true,
+        str: "untyped string",
+        node: n,
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Update Universe Scope
+**Files: interp/interp.go**
+
+```go
+// Map "string" to *[]uint8 type
+"string": {
+    kind: typeSym,
+    typ: &itype{
+        cat: stringT,  // Special category for string literals
+        val: &itype{cat: uint8T},
+        name: "string",
+        str: "string",
+    },
+},
+```
+
+### Step 3: Update String Literal Creation
+**Files: interp/run.go, interp/typecheck.go**
+
+```go
+// When creating string literals from constants:
+// OLD: reflect.ValueOf(constant.StringVal(c))
+// NEW:
+func stringLiteralToBytes(s string) reflect.Value {
+    bytes := []byte(s)
+    ptr := &bytes
+    return reflect.ValueOf(ptr)
+}
+
+// Update all constant.StringVal() calls
+v = stringLiteralToBytes(constant.StringVal(c))
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Type Checking
+**Files: interp/typecheck.go**
+
+```go
+// Update reflect.String checks to handle stringT
+case reflect.String:
+    // OLD: Direct string handling
+    // NEW: Treat as *[]byte (pointer to byte slice)
+
+// Simplify string ↔ []byte conversions
+// They're now the same type, so no conversion needed
+```
+
+### Step 5: Update Runtime Operations
+**Files: interp/cfg.go**
+
+```go
+// Update string indexing (already returns byte - minimal change)
+case stringT:
+    n.typ = sc.getType("byte")  // Already correct!
+    // But need to ensure mutation works: s[i] = 'x'
+
+// Update range over string
+case stringT:
+    // Now ranges over *[]byte
+    sc.add(sc.getType("int64"))  // Index storage
+    ktyp = sc.getType("int64")
+    vtyp = sc.getType("byte")  // Changed from rune to byte
+```
+
+### Step 6: Update String Operations
+**Files: interp/op.go**
+
+```go
+// String comparison - compare underlying byte slices
+// String concatenation - disabled (we're skipping | operator for now)
+```
+
+### Step 7: Handle Reflection Cases
+**Files: Multiple**
+
+```go
+// Update all reflect.String cases to recognize stringT as *[]byte
+// Ensure reflection operations work correctly
+```
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+### For Users
+
+1. **Strings are now mutable:**
+   ```go
+   // OLD: Error - strings are immutable
+   s := "hello"
+   s[0] = 'H'  // ❌ Error in Go
+
+   // NEW: Works in Moxie
+   s := "hello"  // Actually *[]byte
+   (*s)[0] = 'H'  // ✅ Works! s is now "Hello"
+   ```
+
+2. **String iteration returns bytes, not runes:**
+   ```go
+   // OLD: Iteration yields runes
+   for i, r := range "hello" {
+       // r is rune (int32)
+   }
+
+   // NEW: Iteration yields bytes
+   for i, b := range "hello" {
+       // b is byte (uint8)
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **String ↔ []byte conversion is a no-op:**
+   ```go
+   // OLD: Conversion creates a copy
+   s := "hello"
+   b := []byte(s)  // Copy
+
+   // NEW: They're the same type
+   s := "hello"  // *[]byte
+   b := s        // Same pointer, no copy!
+   ```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Type System
+- [ ] String literals create `*[]byte`
+- [ ] Type checks recognize `stringT` as `*[]byte`
+- [ ] Zero value is empty `*[]byte`
+
+### Phase 2: Basic Operations
+- [ ] String indexing: `s[0]` returns `byte`
+- [ ] String mutation: `(*s)[0] = 'x'` works
+- [ ] String slicing: `s[1:3]` returns `*[]byte`
+
+### Phase 3: Advanced Features
+- [ ] Range over string yields bytes
+- [ ] `len(s)` works via auto-deref
+- [ ] String comparison works
+- [ ] String literals in composite types
+
+### Phase 4: Edge Cases
+- [ ] Empty strings
+- [ ] Unicode handling (bytes vs runes)
+- [ ] Nil string pointers
+- [ ] String constants
+
+## Risks and Mitigation
+
+### Risk 1: Reflection System Confusion
+**Problem:** Go's reflect package expects `string` type, we're giving it `*[]byte`
+
+**Mitigation:** Keep `stringT` as a special category that wraps `*[]uint8` but is recognized as "string-like"
+
+### Risk 2: Unicode/Rune Handling
+**Problem:** Strings now iterate as bytes, not runes. Unicode characters break.
+
+**Mitigation:** Document clearly. Users need to use explicit rune conversion for Unicode.
+
+### Risk 3: Performance
+**Problem:** String literals now allocate heap memory (pointer + slice)
+
+**Mitigation:** Acceptable trade-off for mutability. Can optimize later with string interning.
+
+### Risk 4: Existing Code Breaks
+**Problem:** Code expecting immutable strings will break
+
+**Mitigation:** This is a breaking change - document clearly in migration guide.
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ All Phase 1 and 1.2 tests still pass
+- ✅ String literals create mutable `*[]byte`
+- ✅ String indexing/slicing works
+- ✅ String mutation works: `(*s)[i] = byte`
+- ✅ Range over strings works
+- ✅ No regression in existing functionality
+
+## Estimated Complexity
+
+- **Type System Changes:** Medium (5-10 locations)
+- **Runtime Changes:** Medium (3-5 locations)
+- **Operation Updates:** Low (string ops mostly disabled for now)
+- **Testing:** Medium (need comprehensive tests)
+
+**Total Estimated Lines Changed:** ~100-150 lines across 6 files
+
+**Time Estimate:** 2-3 hours of focused work
+
+## Next Steps After Phase 2.1
+
+Once mutable strings work:
+1. Phase 2.2: Add `|` concatenation operator (if desired)
+2. Phase 3: Built-in function modifications
+3. Comprehensive Unicode/rune handling documentation

 ## Limitations
 
 Beside the known [bugs] which are supposed to be fixed in the short term, there are some limitations not planned to be addressed soon:
 
 - Assembly files (`.s`) are not supported.
 - Calling C code is not supported (no virtual "C" package).
+- Directives about the compiler, the linker, or embedding files are not supported.
 - Interfaces to be used from the pre-compiled code can not be added dynamically, as it is required to pre-compile interface wrappers.
 - Representation of types by `reflect` and printing values using %T may give different results between compiled mode and interpreted mode.
 - Interpreting computation intensive code is likely to remain significantly slower than in compiled mode.
 
+Go modules are not supported yet. Until that, it is necessary to install the source into `$GOPATH/src/github.com/traefik/yaegi` to pass all the tests.
