Limitations

Tsonic is intentionally incomplete where deterministic lowering is not yet credible.

Current boundaries

  • fully open-ended dynamic JavaScript behavior is out of scope
  • unsupported reflection-heavy patterns are rejected
  • unsupported generic/runtime shape combinations are rejected rather than guessed
  • unsupported package graph shapes fail explicitly

Read this as a design boundary, not a temporary apology

The current compiler would rather reject a construct than accept it under a model that cannot be defended end-to-end.

Why this is a feature

The compiler chooses correctness and predictability over permissive fallback.

That is why the site now documents the stack in strict terms instead of implying best-effort compatibility.
