Read lck and ulck exposure policy — Boundary detective

PART I

Warm-up

Reconnect with a useful idea before starting read lck and ulck exposure policy. 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

Review exposure with a transitive dependency present

The proposed lck/ulck exposure policy controls which host APIs a script can see. Read it as a surface-selection decision, separate from the capability checks on each resource request. This source does not supply a concrete executable manifest schema here, so use explicit policy tables rather than inventing configuration syntax or transferring native linkage assumptions.

The extension sees a report adapter, while its implementation depends on an internal query service. Sample map: public entry = report summary; internal dependency = query engine; exposed raw query API = no under this design; allowed resource = caller’s inventory summary only. The dependency exists without being automatically re-exported to the script.

Do not assume ulck on one entry exposes every transitive implementation detail. Confirm the source/host’s actual policy semantics and public map. A dependency graph alone cannot establish export visibility or permission grants.

Worked reasoning and supplied artifact

// Worked contract artifact:
// The extension sees a report adapter, while its implementation depends on an internal query service. Sample map: public entry = report summary; internal dependency = query engine; exposed raw query API = no under this design; allowed resource = caller’s inventory summary only. The dependency exists without being automatically re-exported to the script.

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.

Try the guided change

Draw public entry → internal dependency and mark which side is script-facing.

• 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.

PART IV

Independent practice

Project context: Safe extension design. Build a small, understandable change around read lck and ulck exposure policy.

Plan an audio-notification adapter backed by an internal asset service. List the intended public action, hidden implementation surface and permitted versus denied asset cases.

What to produce

An exposure/dependency graph plus independent asset-authority table.

• 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.

const button = widget.Button({
    text: "Continue",
    events: {
        click: fnc() -> void {
            navigator.open("dashboard");
        }
    }
});

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.

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.

• Review exposure with a transitive dependency present
• Draw public entry → internal dependency and mark which side is script-facing.
• Separate source-backed behavior, host requirements and untested predictions.

One small recap task

Draw public entry → internal dependency and mark which side is script-facing.

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