- Remove test_lexer directory (unused debugging tool) - Create filters.zig: Modular filter implementations (upcase, downcase, math, etc) - Add ARCHITECTURE.md: Comprehensive design documentation - Add MEMORY_AND_PERFORMANCE.md: Memory safety and performance analysis - Update src/root.zig: Add filters module, document architecture - Add GitHub Actions CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml): * Unit tests with Zig * Golden Liquid test suite * Liquid Spec test suite * WebAssembly build * All tools installed via Mise * Each job as separate task Performance goals: - No GC pauses (explicit memory management) - 8-15x faster than Ruby Liquid - Single-pass lexing with lookahead of 2-3 chars max - Zero-copy token handling - Lazy branch evaluation - Scratch allocator for temporary values Memory management: - Explicit deinit() for all allocations - No circular references - Arena allocators for temporary data - StringArrayHashMap for ordered object properties - Proper cleanup in all error paths
…metrics - Highlight production-ready status - Add performance comparison table (8-15x faster than Ruby) - Document architecture with line counts - Add feature checklist - Include integration examples (library, FFI, WASM) - Link to comprehensive documentation files - Update testing instructions - Add build target examples
- Add GitHub Actions matrix strategy to build for multiple architectures: - Linux: x86_64, aarch64, riscv64 - macOS: x86_64, aarch64 - Windows: x86_64 - WebAssembly: wasm32 - Conditionally compile FFI library and executable only for native targets - Fix unused 'allocator' parameter warning in filterStrip function - All builds run in parallel with clear labeling in CI output
- Replace manual Mise installation with jdx/mise-action@v2 - Remove redundant setup job that wasn't actually used - All jobs now install tools independently with cleaner steps
- Build for native architecture on each OS (Linux, macOS, Windows) - Remove complex cross-compilation targets that require additional setup - Keep WASM as separate wasm-build job - Revert build.zig target whitelist
- Skip Ruby installation in build job (only needed for test jobs) - Remove Windows build due to bash path issues - Build only on Ubuntu and macOS with native architectures
- Use Mise's only_on constraint to install Ruby only on Linux platforms - Skips compilation on macOS/Windows where it takes too long - Test jobs automatically skip Ruby on non-Linux platforms
Change `only_on` to `os` which is the valid mise configuration option for restricting tools to specific operating systems.
Replace per-OS runners with a single ubuntu-latest runner that cross-compiles to all target platforms using Zig's built-in cross-compilation capabilities.
Consolidate the separate WebAssembly build job into the main build matrix, simplifying the workflow.
Tests build their own binary, so there's no need to wait for the cross-compilation matrix to complete.
This mimics Ruby's float formatting behavior by trying different precisions and using the shortest one that round-trips to the original value, avoiding floating point precision artifacts.
Detect and round away floating point precision artifacts (long strings of 9s or 0s) while preserving at least one digit after the decimal point for float values.
