Trieste Development Workflow

Plan and implement Trieste-based compiler passes, AST transformations, and language features in rego-cpp.

When to Use

• Adding or modifying a compiler pass in the file-to-rego or rego-to-bundle pipeline
• Implementing new Rego language syntax (new tokens, grammar rules)
• Changing well-formedness definitions
• Debugging pass failures or well-formedness violations
• Implementing complex multi-step features that touch the AST pipeline
• Any task requiring coordination across parser, passes, built-ins, and VM

Core Concepts

Trieste is a multi-pass term-rewriting system. Understanding these concepts is mandatory before proceeding:
