Abstract
Multi-stage programming is a popular approach to typed meta-programming, reducing abstraction overhead and producing performant programs. However, the traditional quote-and-splice staging syntax, as introduced by Rowan Davies in 1996, can introduce complexities in managing expression evaluation, and also often necessitates sophisticated mechanisms for advanced features such as code pattern matching. This paper introduces λ ○▷ , a novel staging calculus featuring let-splice bindings, a construct that explicitly binds splice expressions to splice variables, providing flexibility in managing, sharing, and reusing splice computations. Inspired by contextual modal type theory, our type system associates types with a typing context to capture variables dependencies of splice variables. We demonstrate that this mechanism seamlessly scales to features like code pattern matching, by formalizing λ ○▷ pat , an extension of λ ○▷ with code pattern matching and rewriting. We establish the syntactic type soundness of both calculi. Furthermore, we define a denotational semantics using a Kripke-style model, and prove adequacy results. All proofs have been fully mechanized using the Agda proof assistant.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
