Read lck and ulck exposure policy — Change one requirement

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

Change exposure without breaking unchanged clients

An exposure policy must say which surface is reachable. Read lck and ulck as the source’s exposure-policy concepts, separately from resource grants. The source does not supply a complete deployable manifest grammar here. Write policy tables and review their meaning instead of inventing a parser-verified declaration.

Existing mods use public summaryV1. A redesign adds summaryV2 but proposes hiding summaryV1 immediately. Compatibility contract says unchanged v1 mods must keep working for 30 days.

Enumerate the public operations before reviewing permissions. Removing a UI button does not remove an API surface. A helper reachable indirectly from an exposed entry point still needs its own boundary analysis; names and namespaces do not prove isolation. Worked case: During the window, retain summaryV1 with its established input/result contract and expose summaryV2 separately. After the announced window, retirement needs its own policy. A v2 implementation detail cannot silently alter v1 results.

Compare the tempting alternative: Renaming the same implementation to summaryV2 and removing v1 breaks name lookup before any migration guidance can help unchanged clients.

Worked reasoning and supplied artifact

// Paper trace / supplied exercise-host contract; no execution claimed.
// Existing mods use public summaryV1. A redesign adds summaryV2 but proposes hiding summaryV1 immediately. Compatibility contract says unchanged v1 mods must keep working for 30 days.
// During the window, retain summaryV1 with its established input/result contract and expose summaryV2 separately. After the announced window, retirement needs its own policy. A v2 implementation detail cannot silently alter v1 results.

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

Reconstruct the supplied worked case first: list its inputs, intermediate decisions and final artifact. Compare each row with the explanation and identify exactly where the rejected alternative fails. Then use the changed inputs in Part IV for independent work.

• 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.

Create a day-0/day-15/day-31 exposure plan and trace an unchanged v1 client plus a migrated v2 client.

What to produce

A staged surface table and two client compatibility traces.

• 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.

import wuix.widget;
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.

• Change exposure without breaking unchanged clients
• Create a day-0/day-15/day-31 exposure plan and trace an unchanged v1 client plus a migrated v2 client.
• Separate source-backed behavior, host requirements and untested predictions.

One small recap task

Write the earliest proposed v1 retirement day and its required notice.

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