  • baml.sys.pid returns the process id
  • baml.fs.chmod does unix chmod-like behavior. On windows it can only un/set read-only
  • baml.fs.symlink creates a new symlink.

Like other sysops, all three will panic if unsupported (e.g. in the browser) or blocked.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added filesystem APIs for changing file permissions and creating symbolic links.
    • Added baml.sys.pid() to retrieve the current process ID.
    • Added validation and clear errors for invalid modes, missing paths, existing link destinations, and unsupported environments.
    • Added platform-specific behavior, including documented Windows and browser limitations.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for permissions, symbolic links, process IDs, validation, error handling, and cross-platform behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds public baml.fs.chmod, baml.fs.symlink, and baml.sys.pid operations. It implements native, WASM, and browser behavior, adds dispatch wiring, and expands BAML and Rust tests for validation and platform-specific behavior.

Changes

Namespace operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Public namespace contracts
baml_language/crates/baml_builtins2/baml_std/baml/ns_fs/fs.baml, baml_language/crates/baml_builtins2/baml_std/baml/ns_sys/sys.baml
The standard library exposes chmod, symlink, and pid with documented arguments and error behavior.
Native filesystem and process operations
baml_language/crates/sys_native/src/io_impls.rs
Native code validates POSIX modes, applies platform-specific permission handling, creates symbolic links, and returns the process ID.
Operation dispatch and fallback behavior
baml_language/crates/sys_ops/src/lib.rs
The operation builders wire custom implementations. Default implementations return typed unsupported errors or HostUnavailable.
WASM and browser behavior
baml_language/crates/bridge_wasm/src/wasm_io_fs.rs, baml_language/crates/bridge_wasm/src/wasm_sys.rs, baml_language/crates/sys_wasm/src/web_sysops.rs
WASM and browser backends report unsupported filesystem operations and validate globalThis.process.pid for pid.
BAML and host integration coverage
baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_fs/fs.baml, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_fs/fs_from_rust.baml, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_shell/shell.baml, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/tests/fs.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/tests/shell.rs
Tests cover chmod validation, exact permissions, symlink creation and errors, platform limits, and stable process IDs.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 29584

The PR adds process, permission, and symlink operations, but its new tests still use an assertion pattern that may fail independently of the operation being tested, which can obscure regressions; merge is reasonable with owner awareness and follow-up to make those tests reliable.

Poem

A rabbit hops where file powers bloom,
chmod sets bits neatly in the room.
symlink points along its chosen chain,
pid returns a number once again.
Tests check each path with careful cheer—
Unsupported hosts report it clear.

## Summary

- add comprehensive release notes for the independent `baml_language`
0.17.0 release line
- separate user-facing features, breaking and compatibility changes,
fixes, performance work, and internal changes
- synchronize the canary version, SDK packages, bridge runtime
identities, generated Node loader guards, and VS Code extension to
`0.17.0`

## Verified comparison range

- previous release: `baml-language-0.16.0` at
`2e021b3429db8769656e9b8646657c1863789169`
- reviewed product target:
`baml-language-source-c0153b20108bc428b77a53128b9a59ddeb4e2b42` at
`c0153b20108bc428b77a53128b9a59ddeb4e2b42`
- the reviewed product target was also `origin/canary` when the updated
notes were prepared
- full product comparison:
BoundaryML/baml@baml-language-0.16.0...baml-language-source-c0153b20108bc428b77a53128b9a59ddeb4e2b42

The product range contains 43 monorepo commits. The notes cover every
merged PR in the range that touched `baml_language/`, plus the
baml_language-specific macOS test suppression and binary-size baseline
workflow update. The post-BoundaryML#4424 review added BoundaryML#4427, BoundaryML#4431, BoundaryML#4432, BoundaryML#4433,
BoundaryML#4434, BoundaryML#4103, and BoundaryML#4435. BoundaryML#3975 and BoundaryML#3510 are in the monorepo comparison
but are excluded because they change only the main engine/docs release
line. Other unrelated documentation, website, JetBrains, on-call, and
general monorepo changes are also excluded. The five commits in this PR
add and refine the changelog and mechanically prepare release metadata;
they do not add product behavior beyond the reviewed target.

## Release safety

This PR remains draft. Its `baml_language/release.toml` change is the
documented canary release request: merging it to `canary` after green CI
would dispatch the production 0.17.0 release workflow. Do not merge or
mark ready until Sam explicitly approves the release.

No package was published, no release tag was created or pushed, no
artifact was uploaded, and no production release workflow was triggered
during preparation.

## Validation

- `scripts/baml-language-version sync`
- `scripts/baml-language-version check`
- `scripts/baml-language-version show` → `0.17.0`
- `scripts/baml-language-version compute --channel canary` → `0.17.0`
- `python3 -m unittest scripts.tests.test_baml_language_version
scripts.tests.test_release_pipeline_contract` — 39 passed
- `cargo test --manifest-path baml_language/Cargo.toml -p baml_version`
- `mise run validate-markdown` from `baml_language/`
- changed-file `prek` hooks, including Cargo formatting, Clippy, C++
formatting, TOML checks, and Markdown validation
- `git diff --check`
