Review your planning-screen contract — Flash-check repair

Review your planning-screen contract: flash-check repair.

Practice saves only on this browser.

PART I

Warm-up

Reconnect with a useful idea before starting review your planning-screen contract. In one or two sentences, describe the input, output or host boundary from the previous exercise that this lesson builds on. If you are arriving directly, skim the worked example first; there is no locked prerequisite.

A rough note is enough. You can revise it after the example.

PART II

Instruction & guided example

Repair a mount request that uses the wrong screen

A correct screen description can still be disconnected from the activation path. Check that the name passed to mount is the configuration you reviewed. Case-sensitive identifier mismatches and stale names are source-level defects, not native layout failures.

The broken example declares screen but calls wuix.mount("main", Screen). Screen is not the declared identifier. Repair the argument to screen; then the paper route is declared screen → show → mount(main,screen). Sample diagnosis card: category = name mismatch; failing reference = Screen; intended declaration = screen; repair = exact spelling; runtime status = not executed.

Changing the heading or layout cannot repair this reference. The editor’s case-insensitive highlighting may color both names similarly, but identifiers remain case-sensitive. Also avoid adding a second Screen configuration just to hide the typo unless two different screens are actually required.

Worked reasoning and supplied artifact

import wuix.widget.button;
import wuix.layout;
domain Login {
    const screen = {
        layout: { type: "column", padding: [24,32], gap: 16 },
        components: [{ type: "text", value: "Today: repair tools" }]
    };
    fnc show() -> void {
        wuix.mount("main", Screen);
    }
}

Illustrative example from the proposed WillowScript design. The language and WUIX/WMATH/WDB/WAUDIO/WTMP services are not implemented in the supplied source. This site has no interpreter, VM or native host and does not execute or certify the snippet.

Walk through the example, one line at a time
  1. import wuix.widget.button;

    Name the external module this script asks to use. Importing a name does not supply a host resource or grant its capability permissions.

  2. import wuix.layout;

    Name the external module this script asks to use. Importing a name does not supply a host resource or grant its capability permissions.

  3. domain Login {

    Group related declarations under this named boundary. Read the nested declarations as the contents of that group.

  4. const screen = {

    Name a value that this example keeps stable. Inspect the right-hand side for the value or configuration being bound.

  5. layout: { type: "column", padding: [24,32], gap: 16 },

    Read this key/value within its containing object. State which parent owns it and the narrow visible behavior it configures.

  6. components: [{ type: "text", value: "Today: repair tools" }]

    Read this key/value within its containing object. State which parent owns it and the narrow visible behavior it configures.

  7. };

    Close the nested block or value begun earlier. Match it to its opening boundary to keep the structure readable.

  8. fnc show() -> void {

    Read the function name, its parameter names/types and the result type after ->. This is the contract the body must satisfy.

  9. wuix.mount("main", Screen);

    Ask the supplied native UI service to mount the declared screen at the named host target. Confirm the target exists in the exercise contract.

  10. }

    Close the nested block or value begun earlier. Match it to its opening boundary to keep the structure readable.

  11. }

    Close the nested block or value begun earlier. Match it to its opening boundary to keep the structure readable.

Try the guided change

Find the unmatched reference before looking at layout settings, then make the one-name repair and redraw the activation path.

  • Write the supplied inputs and initial state before following the example.
  • Reconstruct each intermediate calculation or host decision, then compare with the worked artifact.
  • Explain why the contrasting alternative fails before attempting the changed inputs in Part IV.

PART III

Take a breather

Step back after the guided example. Look away from the screen, stretch, or reread your prediction. This is an optional learning pause, not a timer or an assessment gate.

When you return, try to name the lesson’s key idea without copying its wording. If that feels difficult, return to Part II and trace one line rather than restarting the entire lesson.

Your drafts remain here. Continue whenever you are ready.

PART IV

Independent practice

Project context: Accessible welcome screen. Build a small, understandable change around review your planning-screen contract.

Repair a design declaring welcomeScreen but mounting welcomescreen. Provide a declaration/use map, the exact corrected call and one separate host precondition that the spelling repair still cannot establish.

What to produce

A case-sensitive reference repair, diagnosis card and an explicit target-availability question.

  • State the intended behavior in a sentence before editing.
  • Use only source-backed syntax and the host services whose contract you have been given.
  • Record a normal case and a boundary or unavailable-resource case.
  • Label hand predictions separately from anything actually measured in a supplied toolchain.

Syntax colors are a reading aid, not a compiler. The line you are editing stays uncolored until you move to a different line; capitalization is never changed. Drafts stay on this browser and code is not executed.

Need a hint?

The broken example declares screen but calls wuix.mount("main", Screen). Screen is not the declared identifier. Repair the argument to screen; then the paper route is declared screen → show → mount(main,screen). Sample diagnosis card: category = name mismatch; failing reference = Screen; intended declaration = screen; repair = exact spelling; runtime status = not executed.

Changing the heading or layout cannot repair this reference. The editor’s case-insensitive highlighting may color both names similarly, but identifiers remain case-sensitive. Also avoid adding a second Screen configuration just to hide the typo unless two different screens are actually required.

Original learning-path task and reference

In a museum exhibit console, demonstrate review your planning-screen contract. Explain the flash answer, locate a plausible mistake, and repair the relevant part of your task. Include .ws source and a host-resource contract; compare at least one normal case and one edge case.

import wuix.widget.button;
import wuix.layout;
domain Login {
    const screen = {
        layout: { type: "column", padding: [24, 32], gap: 16 },
        components: [{ type: "text", value: "Welcome back" }]
    };
    fnc show() -> void {
        wuix.mount("main", screen);
    }
}

Where the original task needs a host API that is not supplied here, write the contract and predictions. Do not invent a runtime result.

PART V

Self-check

Use this check to notice what to revisit. It does not award a private course grade, block another page or claim to verify compiled code. Every answer has a learning explanation.

What explains the worked mount-argument defect?

You may keep exploring even if you are unsure. Use the hint, compare the trace, and revise your explanation.

PART VI

Recap & small task

Bring the idea back to the mod feature you are building. A useful recap connects the mechanism to a decision you can make in your own code.

  • Repair a mount request that uses the wrong screen
  • A correct screen description can still be disconnected from the activation path. Check that the name passed to mount is the configuration you reviewed. Case-sensitive identifier mismatches and stale names are source-level defects, not native layout failures.
  • Separate source-backed behavior, host requirements and untested predictions.

One small recap task

Give one defect a spelling repair cannot fix at the host boundary.

This marks your personal practice record only. It is not a certification or an official workspace assessment.
