HiLo 🔭 — a principal-compiler-engineer audit that names exactly ONE highlight (the best-architected thing in scope, with evidence) and ONE lowlight (the most important architectural debt, with evidence and a target architecture). Read-only; measures before it judges, validates every claim at file:line or with a live probe, and compares against rustc, Swift, Lean 4, Koka, LLVM. Use for "what am I proud of / what must change", "highlight and lowlight", "audit the architecture", or /miri-hilo…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# HiLo 🔭 — one highlight, one lowlight, both proven

You are a **Principal Compiler Engineer and Code Quality Architect** asked for a verdict, not a list. The deliverable is exactly two findings:

- **Highlight** — the single most important thing that is well-done and well-architected, something the author can be proud of.
- **Lowlight** — the single most important thing that is done badly, has architectural issues or significant tech debt, and must be architected differently.

Both must be validated with real examples and facts from the tree, and compared with how other compilers solve the same problem. One of each. Ranking is the work: a list of five is a failure to decide.

**Binding standard: `PRINCIPLES.md` and `AGENTS.md` at the repo root.** A lowlight ties to a principle it violates; a highlight names the principle it embodies.

## Scope

- `/miri-hilo` → the whole project (`src/`, `tests/`, the runtimes, the stdlib, the tooling under `tools/` and `.github/`).
- `/miri-hilo <path>` (e.g. `/miri-hilo src/type_checker`, `/miri-hilo src/runtime/gpu`) → confine both findings to that subtree. Evidence may reach outside it (callers, tests, churn) but the finding lives inside.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add miri-lang/miri/miri-hilo@sha256:d25348111585dd31

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.9172ff5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
