Issue Reference

B-849

Changes

Reserved names are now three categories, each defined in one place:

Category Source Rule
Strict keywords lexer tokens (TokenKind::is_keyword) never name a declaration; after a . they are member/path names (stdlib-declared only)
Weak keywords WeakDeclaration in the parser client, test, testset, retry_policy, template_string, generator are keywords only where they start their declaration
Built-in type names compiler_aliases::ALL (single-word spellings) cannot name an item, namespace, type parameter, or type binding; legal as fields, methods, variants, params, locals
  • Lexer: true, false, null, self, root, const, catch_all_panics are strict keywords. instanceof and its "no longer supported" diagnostics are removed. is_baml_identifier is now just "one non-keyword word".
  • Parser: a keyword in a declared-name position (class/enum/interface/alias/generic/field/variant/param/binding) is taken as the name, as in rustc's identifier recovery. It gets one targeted E0176 instead of a parse cascade. A declaration keyword still starts a declaration unless the next token can only follow a name.
  • Names after .: any word or keyword is a member or path segment, stored as WORD in the CST. This deletes the per-keyword name lists (WORD | KW_CLIENT | KW_SPAWN | KW_IMPLEMENTS …) across the parser, syntax AST, AST lowering, formatter, and IDE.
  • Policy: baml_type::reserved::ReservedName::of is the single policy. It is used by the HIR name check (E0176, replacing the root-only check) and by the runtime reflect.Class/reflect.Enum builders. Language packages are exempt, so the stdlib keeps t.implements(u), baml.spawn, and json.
  • Removed diagnostics: ReservedConstBindingName and InstanceofRemoved.
  • Stdlib: Plan.root → Plan.is_root.
  • Tests and tooling:
    • Keyword-named test namespaces renamed (ns_defer, ns_throws, ns_catch_all_panics).
    • Type-quiz lambdas named self → rec.
    • instanceof removed from the tree-sitter grammar.
    • TYPE_SYSTEM.md documents the three categories.
  • Unrelated: bex_engine failure tests wrote their telemetry CAS into the crate directory (an empty root). They now use a temp dir.

Testing

  • New native tests in baml_tests/baml_src/ns_reserved_names/ compile every keyword and every built-in type name in every declaration position with reflect.Package.compile, asserting the exact E0176. They also cover the legal positions, weak keywords, and keyword-prefixed names.
  • cargo nextest run --all-features --workspace --exclude baml_tests --exclude baml_cli --exclude baml_pack_host --exclude "sdk_test_*" --exclude baml_bridge
  • cargo insta test --test-runner nextest --dnd -p baml_tests -p baml_cli -p baml_pack_host --all-features --unreferenced=reject
  • baml test over baml_tests/baml_src (5617 passed) and baml test --from tools/type_quiz (129/129)
  • SKIP=no-commit-to-branch prek run --all-files --hook-stage manual (fmt, stow, clippy, clippy-wasm, stdlib/type-quiz fmt)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Language Updates
    • Reserved-name rules now distinguish keywords, built-in type names, and weak keywords. Reserved names are reported according to their usage, while weak keywords remain available as ordinary names outside declaration contexts.
    • root remains a package-path keyword and cannot name declarations.
    • instanceof is no longer recognized as a comparison operator; use is for type comparisons.
    • Keyword handling is more context-aware across declarations, paths, fields, parameters, and expressions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Runtime-created types now reject invalid or reserved names consistently.

Three kinds of reserved names, each defined in one place:

- Strict keywords are lexer tokens (`TokenKind::is_keyword`). `true`,
  `false`, `null`, `self`, `root`, `const`, and `catch_all_panics` join
  them; `instanceof` is removed.
- Weak keywords (`client`, `test`, `testset`, `retry_policy`,
  `template_string`, `generator`) are words the parser reads as keywords
  only where they start their declaration.
- Built-in type names are every single-word spelling in the compiler
  alias table.

`baml_type::reserved::ReservedName::of` is the single policy, used by
the HIR name check and the runtime class/enum builders. A keyword in a
declared-name position parses as the name, so it gets one E0176 instead
of a parse cascade. Language packages are exempt, so the stdlib keeps
`t.implements(u)` and `baml.spawn`. After a `.`, any word or keyword is a
member or path segment and is stored as a WORD, which removes the
per-keyword name lists in the parser, AST, formatter, and IDE.

Also: `Plan.root` -> `Plan.is_root`; keyword-named test namespaces
renamed; a bex_engine failure test no longer writes its CAS into the
crate directory.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 04d65

Under the new keyword rules, a class field or enum variant named test can still end the class or enum body. Expressions such as test[0] can also be misreported as misplaced test blocks, which conflicts with the stated rule that weak keywords remain ordinary names. Editor rename can still produce declarations named after built-in types that the compiler now rejects. Fix the parser issue before merging; the rename gap is a smaller follow-up.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 04d65

Naming rules become stricter and can require existing programs to rename declarations. No newly exposed privileged operation was identified, but runtime and deployment coverage is incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The directly affected input surfaces are language declarations, runtime-created type and export names, and existing protobuf writer operations. Their tenant, service, and deployment exposure depends on embedding applications and was not established by the supplied context.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Runtime class, enum, recursive-builder, and export-key validation now uses the shared type-name policy. These checks narrow accepted names rather than giving reflection callers the compiler's language-package exemption.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — New reserved-name failures occur before recursive placeholders are allocated, leaving rejected groups unfrozen and retryable. Successful groups freeze after materialization and witness registration. Package export validation accumulates additions locally and returns on error before allocating the new view, without mutating base exports.

🟡 Minor · Reject built-in type names for item renames. · rename.rs:140

baml_language/crates/baml_ide/src/rename.rs:140
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject built-in type names for item renames.

string is a valid lexical identifier, but it is reserved for top-level declarations. The current rename function can return edits that create an invalid item declaration. The compiler reports the error only after those edits are applied.

Apply ReservedName::of only to SymbolTarget::Item. Keep built-in type names valid for locals and members.

Suggested fix
-    if !baml_compiler_lexer::is_baml_identifier(new_name) {
+    let invalid_name = !baml_compiler_lexer::is_baml_identifier(new_name)
+        || (matches!(target, SymbolTarget::Item(_))
+            && baml_type::reserved::ReservedName::of(new_name).is_some());
+    if invalid_name {
         return Err(RenameError::InvalidName {
             name: new_name.to_string(),
         });

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

A member named test or testset now ends a class, enum, or interface body.

weak_declaration_at classifies test/testset as a declaration start when the next token is any expression start. The Word kind counts as an expression start. declaration_starts_at uses this result, and so does at_top_level_keyword. The class, enum, interface, implements, config-block, and LLM-body loops all use at_top_level_keyword as a recovery boundary. These inputs are affected:

  • class Foo { test string }: parse_class computes recover_top_level_item = true, breaks out of the class body, and reports a missing }.
  • enum Env {\n test\n live\n}: the parser sees live as a Word, so parse_enum breaks at the variant test.

The same rule affects statements. test[0], test - 1, and test < x reach parse_stmt as WeakDeclaration::Test, because LBracket, Minus, and Less are all expression starts. The parser then reports "test blocks are only allowed at the top level or inside a testset". This conflicts with the documented contract that weak keywords are ordinary identifiers and that fields and enum variants may use them.

Make the declaration shape stricter. A bare Word name is already a diagnosed error at top level. The bare-word form is legal only inside a testset body. Accept a bare word after test/testset only when a { or with follows it, as the parenthesized form already does. Exclude prefix tokens such as [, -, <, !, and ~ unless a body follows. Add regression tests for a field named test and for newline-separated enum variants named test.

around lines 1318 - 1323:
Update weak_declaration_at so test and testset are recognized as declarations
only when their following tokens form a valid test-body shape: keep the existing
parenthesized handling, and accept a bare name only when followed by a body
opener or with. Do not classify ordinary identifiers or expression prefixes as
declarations; add regression tests for a class field named test and
newline-separated enum variants named test.

- sdk_tests type_shapes: namespace ns_void -> ns_unit (void is a built-in
  type name); host tests import baml_sdk.unit.
- sdk_tests function_calls: DocLoader.root -> base_dir (root is a keyword).
- stdlib-matrix: ExportImpl.interface -> iface, reading the wire key
  `interface` in a FromJson override like ExportSignature's `throws`.
