WillowScript (.ws) is a proposed, not-yet-implemented language. Examples and library integrations here are illustrative design exercises, not verified runnable programs.

WillowScript Fast Track · Adapt a permission migration explicitly

Separate visibility from permissions — Change one requirement

Contrast native Willow with WillowScript: Separate visibility from permissions: change one requirement.

Practice saves only on this browser.

PART I

Warm-up

Reconnect with a useful idea before starting separate visibility from permissions. 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

Adapt a permission migration explicitly

For a W developer moving into proposed WS, native addresses and native visibility cannot substitute for script-host contracts. Use source-backed exposure concepts and validated-resource boundaries. Exact handle representation, permission workflow and lifecycle APIs remain host requirements rather than invented language methods.

Supplied bridge fixture: Old mod version reads catalog only; new version requests audio notifications too.

Existing catalog permission does not imply audio grant. The migration must keep unchanged catalog behavior and leave audio unavailable until the host’s authorized permission workflow grants it. A version bump or import list is not consent.

Record the request, intermediate decisions and final artifact separately. These are paper derivations and platform-contract exercises; .ws and its native services are not implemented or executed by this school. Shared fnc/domain/import vocabulary does not certify parser support for proposed extensions or prove runtime security enforcement.

Worked reasoning and supplied artifact

// PAPER FIXTURE — Adapt a permission migration explicitly
// Manual worked artifact; comments below are not executable source.
// INPUT / CONTRACT: Supplied bridge fixture: Old mod version reads catalog only; new version requests audio
// notifications too.
// DERIVATION / EXPECTED ARTIFACT: Existing catalog permission does not imply audio grant. The migration
// must keep unchanged catalog behavior and leave audio unavailable until the host’s authorized permission
// workflow grants it. A version bump or import list is not consent.

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

Guided exercise: reproduce this exact fixture, annotate each native-versus-script responsibility, then explain why the rejected answer “Yes; upgrades carry every requested grant” fails.

  • 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: Restricted automation extension. Build a small, understandable change around separate visibility from permissions.

Trace old/new mod with denied/granted audio and a visual fallback that preserves catalog work. Supply different fixture identities/values from the worked case, a complete predicted result or allow/deny artifact, a stepwise trace, one contrasting failure and the required host contract.

What to produce

Trace old/new mod with denied/granted audio and a visual fallback that preserves catalog work. Preserve source/implementation status and separate manual predictions from future toolchain evidence.

  • 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?

Existing catalog permission does not imply audio grant. The migration must keep unchanged catalog behavior and leave audio unavailable until the host’s authorized permission workflow grants it. A version bump or import list is not consent.

The rejected conclusion “Yes; upgrades carry every requested grant” crosses an unprovided boundary or contradicts the supplied fixture. Existing catalog permission does not imply audio grant. The migration must keep unchanged catalog behavior and leave audio unavailable until the host’s authorized permission workflow grants it. A version bump or import list is not consent.

Original learning-path task and reference

Use your Willow knowledge to implement the .ws host integration, explaining which work remains native and which belongs in the script. In a museum exhibit console, demonstrate separate visibility from permissions. Adapt the task to a second host-neutral application context without changing the imported API contract. Include .ws source and a host-resource contract; compare at least one normal case and one edge case.

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

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.

Does updating the mod automatically authorize audio?

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.

  • Adapt a permission migration explicitly
  • Old mod version reads catalog only; new version requests audio notifications too.
  • Separate source-backed behavior, host requirements and untested predictions.

One small recap task

Change one field,resource scope,lifetime or input value in the bridge fixture. State the new intermediate decisions and final result without assuming a running WS host.

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