Summary

  • preserve assignment destinations while lowering null-coalescing expressions
  • represent property shorthand structurally and resolve shorthand values in their lexical expression scope
  • make runtime type-test classification exhaustive, including type values and structural media matching
  • validate media JSON kind tags so union decoding selects the correct member

Testing

  • repository pre-commit hooks, including cargo fmt and workspace cargo clippy
  • cargo test -p bex_vm
  • cargo test -p baml_compiler2_emit
  • focused compiler AST, diagnostic, and incremental tests
  • cargo check -p baml_tests --tests
  • native BAML runtime regressions for null coalescing, shorthand binders, runtime leaf narrowing, and media JSON unions

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Property shorthand syntax is preserved for object and map expressions, improving diagnostics and scope handling.
    • Runtime type checks and narrowing now support type values and media types more accurately.
    • Media JSON deserialization validates declared media kinds and rejects mismatches.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed null-coalescing assignments involving existing locals or fields.
    • Improved matching and serialization for image, audio, video, and PDF values.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for shorthand syntax, media unions, runtime narrowing, diagnostics, and incremental typing.

⏭️ Performance benchmarks were skipped

Perf benchmarks (CodSpeed) are opt-in on pull requests — they no longer run on every push. They always run automatically after merge to canary/main.

To run them on this PR, do any of the following, then push a commit (or re-run CI):

  • Add RUN_CODSPEED=1 to the PR description, or
  • Include run-perf or /perf in the PR title or any commit message.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now stores object and map property syntax in structured AST entries. Inference emits scope-aware shorthand diagnostics. MIR lowering fixes self-referential null coalescing. Runtime type and media matching now use structural checks and validated media tags.

Changes

Property syntax metadata

Layer / File(s) Summary
Structured property AST entries
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_ast/src/{ast.rs,lower_expr_body.rs,lib.rs}
Object and map entries now retain explicit or shorthand syntax. AST tests verify both forms.
Scope-aware shorthand inference
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_hir_ty/src/infer.rs
Inference records shorthand expressions, resolves lexical bindings, and emits specialized diagnostics with scope-aware suggestions.
Structured entry consumers and regression coverage
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_ast/src/traverse.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_hir/src/*, baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_mir/src/lower.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_visualization/src/control_flow/from_ast.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_lsp2_actions/src/*, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/src/compiler2_tir/*, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_property_shorthand/*, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/tests/incremental_typing_repro.rs
Compiler consumers now use named object and map fields. Tests cover shorthand scopes, diagnostics, and syntax changes.
Temporary-based null coalescing
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_mir/src/lower.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_null_handling/null_handling.baml
Null-coalescing lowering reuses a temporary for both operands. Tests cover local and field destinations.

Runtime type and media matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Realized leaf type matching
baml_language/crates/baml_compiler2_emit/src/emit.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_runtime_leaf_narrowing/runtime_leaf_narrowing.baml
is_type handles aliases, enums, tagged types, tagless types, Type, and Media with identity, tag, or structural matching.
Media wrapper and tag validation
baml_language/crates/bex_vm/src/package_baml/json.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_tests/baml_src/ns_media_json_union/media_json_union.baml
Media decoding derives wrapper names from MediaKind and rejects generic, missing, or mismatched JSON media tags.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c2ccd

The compiler and runtime fixes are paired with focused regression tests, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit marks each field with care,
Explicit keys and shorthand share.
Null values keep their stored place,
Media tags must match their case.
Types now follow shape and kind.

Add rejection tests for invalid media tags.

The current tests only accept correctly tagged media JSON. Add tests for a missing kind field, a mismatched concrete tag such as audio decoded as image, and generic-media decoding through its public entry point. These tests protect the new validation paths.

## 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`
